man who would have been the first star witness before congress, former white house counsel don mcgahn, he was ordered by the trumpmply with congressional subpoena that directed him to hand over documents by 10:00 a.m. this morning. well now tonight, the judiciary committee chairman has responded to the white house taking this action to block don mcgahn for responding to this congressional subpoena. chairman jerry nadler telling the white house tonight in a letter, "mcgahn is required to appear and provide testimony before the committee absent a court order authorizing noncompliance, otherwise the committee will have no choice but to resort to contempt proceedings to ensure that it has access to information it requires to fulfill its constitutionally mandated duties." joining us now is a member of both the judiciary committee and the intelligence committee in the house. he's also a 2020 democratic presidential contender, a california congressman, eric swalwell joining us tonight. sir, thank you for your time. >> of course. good evening, rachel. >> so, tonight, chairman nadler of the judiciary committee is saying d

that there's no way that trump could try now to block don mcgahn from testifying to congress, or even conceivably testifying to a court what he knows from his time in the white house counsel's office and what he saw working with president trump for nearly two years. most legal observers say the president couldn't try to stop any further testimony from mcgahn because the white house already let him testify about all that stuff to mueller. that means they effectively conceded in that moment that what don mcgahn knew, what don mcgahn had access to because of his white house job, that stuff is not covered by any form of privilege. had it been covered by privilege, he wouldn't have been able to talk to robert mueller about it. since they let him talk to mueller, that means it's not privileged. that is how they screwed themselves over, by letting don mcgahn give unrestricted testimony to mueller's investigators starting in the fall of 2017. right. think about that, right? he stays on for, what, another year-plus after that, the whole time, in real-time, concurrently, giving testimony to mueller's office about what was going on inside the trump white house while he was w

white house encouraged mcgahn to defy the subpoena. contempt may not be enough any more. frustrated by repeated stonewalling by the trump white house. more democrats are demanding impeachment. >> over 30 of the president's associates were indicted by the mueller probe. his campaign chairman is in presidenten right now. don't tell me there's not enough to discuss and debate impeachment. >> i believe we have come to the time of impeachment, i think that at a certain point this is no longer about politics. but this is about upholding the rule of law. >> the president is creating the circumstances where we may have to consider -- i'm much more open to it now than i was a few months ago. >> will you open an impeachment inquiry? >> my view is that we should. >> up to this point house speaker nancy pelosi has maintained control of her caucus and quieted calls for impeachment. she's argued that most of the rank and file is against the move. but now she's under pressure because those calls for impeachment are spreading to her rank and file. and they now include members of pelosi's leadership team. democrats who saw mcgahn's no show as a brea

at president trump's personal insistence, turns out the previous chief counsel at the irs had put down in black and white, had put down in a legal memo the bad news for the trump white house or any white house seeking to defy or wriggle out of the legal requirement to hand over a president's tax returns. quote, a confidential irs legal memo says that tax returns must be given to congress unless congress takes the step of exerting executive privilege. the memo contradicts the trump administration's justification for denying lawmakers request for president trump's tax returns. trump has refused to turn over his tax returns but has not invoked executive privilege. treasury secretary steven mnuchin has denied the returns saying there's no legislative purpose for denying them. but according to the memo the disclosure of tax return tuesday the committee is, quote, mandatory. requiring the secretary to disclose the returns and return information requested by the tax writing chairs in congress. the ten page document says the law does not allow the treasury secretary to exercise discretion in disclosing the information provided the statutory conditions are met. the memo directly r

and you heard fred's reporting, they want no negotiations with the trump white house and see it as poisonoust trump clearly wants to talk to him. and he's got his digits. so who is going to blink to improve the situation so no one goes to war? >> it is unlikely anyone will blink right no -- right now. the smart money,book, is the odds are against a sustained shooting war between iran and the u.s. and you move around enough -- presumably we have intelligence there are threats again american personnel in iraq and you move ballistic missile components or maybe even ballistic missiles on boats to yemen, unclear where they are in tended to go and the dangers and risks of escalation and misinterpretation and misunderstanding increase. so i would still rule out the possibility, the overwhelming possibility of serious military clash. problem is that once we withdraw from the iran nuclear deal, as kind of unraveling process begins to occur. iranians want to stay in as long as the europeans can satisfy them by meeting some of the economic needs, the administration is determined to increase maximum pre

narrator: eviof russian interference had sparked a secret fbi investigation that followed trump into the white house. >> the very inauguration of president trump, you know, poses chalnges to the fbi, because they have instigations on paul manafort, the former campaign chairman; carter page, foreign policy adviser to the president's campaign; george papadopoulos, the foreign polic advi the campaign; and michael flynn, the national security adviser. so, i mean, these are four urpeople in the national sy space who are all under fbi investigation. >> narrator: within the first week of trump's presidency, fbie or james comey received a phone call. >> surprise call from thepr ident.

white house revoked my press pass. it's not just me -- it's curtailing access for all journalists. you wrote this and i wanted to read for your viewers, you wrote i'm not looking for pity. trumpouse coverage anyway, but there's something wrong with the president having the power to decide which journalists can cover him. what does this move by the white house mean? >> well, everybody remember what happened to your own jim acosta. he went to court, and the judge said you have to give him husband credentials back. you have this haphazard system for how you revoke credentials. guess what, here's comes the white house trying to put in an organized system and said we're going to kick out anyone who has not been there 90 out of the last 180 calendar days. guess what, this eliminates most of the white house press corps because even the president isn't there that often. it eliminated the entire white house team for "the washington post," for example. >> i want to make sure that's not lost on folks. that that standard eliminated the entire "washington post" team from their hard passes. but then they are factoring these exemptions or exceptions. >> they gave exceptions to whoever they

the trump administration and the white house press corps are back at it what's this latest issue over accreditation well this week dana milbank of the washington post reported that the white house had revoked his press puff and what he called. a mass of accredited reporters of press householders get privilege access to the white house is one of the opportunity to ask questions of government spokespeople but the trumpet ministration recently changed the criteria for credit station the new rules disqualify journalists who've not been in the white house for at least half of the previous 180 days requirement that according to milbank excludes most of the press corps press secretary thera sound said the change was about improving security but the concern is it makes journalists access conditional in a way that could disqualify reports of the white house doesn't like and this would not be the 1st time that the white house has played the credentials card would it no that's right you remember that highly publicized spot last november between president trump and c.n.n. reporter jim acosta on t

speaking of this afternoon, jerry nadler, the recipient hi summed up why the behavior of re the trump white house is so dangerous.it >> the white house is making the outragious claim that a president cannot be held accountable in any way through the american people. a the justice department can't hold him accountable since a me sitting president cannot be indicted and now they're saying congress cannot hold a presidens accountable. this would make the president above the law.th we of course totally reject it. >> a member of two committees trying to conduct investigations into trump, congressman jamie raskin of maryland who sits on the judiciary and oversight committees.gh what is your understanding based on the arguments before the judge yesterday and the letter received of the theory, the legal theory under the assertions that the white house counsel and the president's e personnel attorney?pr >> the theory is that the president is essentially a constitutional monarch and stands above congress and the a courts. that's a complete inversion of the constitutional design. under our constitution, con

far from what we all used to consider normal, that includes nearly nonstop scrutiny for the trump white house. we thought we would take opportunity tonight to look at that very dynamic. more than two years ago this month, robert mueller justice department veteran with a dozen years at the helm of the fbi was asked to take over the most politically charged investigation since watergate. he was appointed special counsel shortly after president trump's decision to fire a different fbi director, james comey. mueller's task, to uncover any lengths or coordination between the russian government and individuals associated with the trump campaign. mueller was also asked to investigate any related issues that came out of the inquiry. the special counsel team closed out its work about ten weeks ago now. it said conspiracy with russia couldn't be proved. the special counsel declined to make a recommendation whether trump obstructed justice, even as it cited ten possible instances of such behavior. mueller's document also concluded that the findings did not exonerate the president. that didn't seem to ma

and incidentally, that means the trump white house and trump family have been giving a reward for the blanket stance they've taken since the mueller report was submitted in which they say all subpoenas should be defied. apparently, that stance already earned them relief from some of the things that donald trump jr. would otherwise have been compelled to testify about, apparently that stance has also earned them a time limitation on the things -- on the amount of time that he'll have to spend testifying. so we got the news today about donald junior, the resolution of that subpoena fight, at least it appears that way. and on the heels of that news we got late today about donald trump jr. and senate intelligence, we also got remarkable new news from the other intelligence committee, from the one in the house. news that lawyers working for president trump and the trump organization and for the president's adult children, their lawyers, themselves, may be on the hook or may at least compelled to spill when it comes to one of the alleged obstruction of justice efforts that's described in so

not going to be any sort of negotiations with the united states and especially not with the trump white house. he came out not so long ago and said, look, he believes that goe negotiations with the u.s. would be poison, and negotiations with the trump white house would be double poison because of the strategy of the trump administration of maximum pressure on iran, of course the crippling sanctions iran has been facing. iranians say they are not going to negotiate under those circumstances. it was quite interesting because iran's president came out late last night and said look, we have all the phone numbers we need in the united states. negotiations under these circumstances are not going to happen. the head of iran's revolutionary guard core says he believes iran is at the height of the conflict with the united states. the u.s. is doing everything it can to undermine iran, and he says this was a key moment in the islamic revolution. now, of course all of this coming as apparently president trump is unhappy with some of his senior advisers on all of this, feeling that they are moving too fas
