today one of the men who wrote the inaugural speech for trump, one time trump white house adviser steve bannon was back in federal court on his latest round of federal charges. today president trump is raging from the sidelines threatening any republican who voted for the infrastructure bill. but lots of them did. and the legislation is really popular with the american people. and biden got it done with bipartisan support in his first year in office. trump had four years to do it including two years with complete republican control of government and never even made a realistic try at it let alone got anything at all done. so this is a day that joe biden has been waiting for for a long time. both in terms of the practical impact of what this means, also because of the political win that this represents, but, also, because of his larger vision for the purpose of his presidency. for the purpose of american governance in this time in world history. where as he said a lot of countries in the world are trying to decide whether they'll stick with democracy or chick over to the autocratic, very

i council inside the donald trump white house?— white house?on't because the motivation _ white house? i don't because the motivation for _ white house? i don't because the motivation forjoining - white house? i don't because the motivation forjoining the| the motivation forjoining the administration back in 2017 when the russian intelligence services at the direction of the kremlin interfered in the presidential election that was the 2017, 2016 presidential election. as we all know, that created chaos and us politics and became a massive domestic prices and a certainly felt as someone who would serve before and the government, as national intelligence officerfor and the government, as national intelligence officer for russia backin intelligence officer for russia back in 2006 to 2009 under both the bush and obama administrations. but something had to be done and part of my motivation was to do something of the national security front desk concerned about what the russians had done and i would do it again, for sure. ultimately, your working for

form the question of whether or not records and documents from the trump white house have to be handed over to the january six investigation. this comes to us as more former trump officials appear to be looking at potential prosecution by the justice department, for refusing to testify to that investigation. again, a federal appeals court will be hearing arguments in that tomorrow morning, but we will have more on that situation coming up a little bit on tomorrow late on the night -- as we are watching all of the stories, who among us did not experience our thanksgiving inflating stomachs. following a few floors, it will be learned over this new variant, this new variant of the coronavirus. the experience was first reported, to the world health organization by authorities in south africa, just five days ago. it has reportedly become the dominant strain of the virus, in south africa already. the w.h.o. has made a formal announcement, a formal proclamation that this is a, quote, variants of concern. tell me about it. but as new travel bans go into effect around the world. because of omic

trump is trying to make. people we're talking about today, many actively working at the white house employed in the trump white house. does that give in your view any support or does that boost the idea they could say? donald trump says we claim executive privilege, we have to defer to him. does it bolster their case at all? >> they might say the former president asserted executive privilege and we'll defer to the courts before they sort it out. a former president doesn't really have much if any of an executive privilege. that thing belongs to current presidents. joe biden has executive privilege and donald trump doesn't. there mite be a case the supreme court said in 1977 where a former president might have some claim of executive privilege and one way of testing it, one way of determining if that former president's claim is valid is see how the current president feels about it. joe biden indicated he's not inclined to a certain privilege of any sort on behalf of donald trump. i don't see how this claim wins but that's not their strategy, hallie. their strategy is to assert a claim and try and run out the clo

privilege or forfeit the long-standing position that senior white house aides cannot be compelled to testify before congress. this comes as trumpappeals court in washington that the former president should be able to block the committee from getting some of his white house records. the three judge panel appeared skeptical about trump's power to assert privilege over certain documents when the current president says they should be released. >> this boils down to who decides when it is in the best interest of the united states to disclose presidential records. is it the current occupant of the white house or former. >> trump argues he should be able to protect records like call logs and handwritten notes from top advisers, but president biden declined to keep any january 6th documents confidential, citing the extraordinary nature of the insurrection. today, the georgia secretary of state spoke with the house select committee for roughly four hours. trump's efforts to pressure rafens burger and officials have emerged as significant areas of interest to house investigators. >> they're moving quickly now, relatively speaking. thanks

trump white house records. u.s. judge tanya chuck is denying trump's request to block access to those documents. judge decided an earlier court ruling on subpoenas writing that the president is not king and added, the plaintiff's not president. national archives, as you know, is set to turn over the first batch of trump's records to this house select committee investigating the insurrection, riding at the capitol. they are expected to do that by this friday. they are almost by definition, all things that trump doesn't want the committee to see. trump has filed an appeal tonight to the d.c. circuit court, that didn't take long. this case is likely to end up at the supreme court. today, the house committee issued even more subpoenas to trump allies. this latest round of requests for documents and testimonies comes just a day after they targeted six other trump allies. today subpoenas went up to ten former trump administration officials including some of the most prominent members of his inner circle. former press secre

the trump presidency challenged many public officials to make a choice, obey directives from the white house against their betterjudgement or take a stand and face the wrath of the pro—trump movement. my guest today, fiona hill, former russia adviser at the white house, took a stand. she was a key witness in the president's first impeachment and has since had time to reflect on what trump meant for america and its geopolitical standing. has america learned the right lessons from the last five yea rs 7 fiona hill, in bethesda, maryland, welcome to hardtalk. thanks, stephen. you've had quite a lot of time to reflect in the last couple of years, reflect on some key decisions that you were involved in so let's start off with a very basic one. do you now regret your decision to take up that opportunity to join the national security council inside the trump white house? i don't actually because the motivation forjoining the administration back in 2017 was what had happened in 2016 when the russian intelligence services at the direction of the kremlin interfered in the presidential election, that w

these include hundreds of white house documents during the trump white house. visitor logs, call logs, even handwritten notes. >> i'm sure ultimately we'll prevail. the question is the timeline. but look, the american people, through congress, have a right to know what happened. it's the whole reason we have an archive. the president, the former president, has no ability to declare executive privilege when the current president didn't take that declaration. this is nothing short of a stall tactic. significant part of this has to do with campaign activities, which isn't covered by executive privilege. so we'll ultimately get to that. we'll ultimately prevail, but i think have no doubt, the trump legal strategy, because they don't have a strategy to actually win or to actually have a committee show there was no culpability of responsibility on january 6th, the strategy is to run out the clock. so we're continuing to investigate witnesses. we've interviewed over 150 with many more to come. >> testimony for some top trump allies clearly also in jeopardy. it's been

the january 6 committee giving a top aide in the trump white house an ultimatum. the panel is now demanding former chief of staff mark meadows show up for a deposition and hand over documents today or risk criminal contempt. this after his attorney made it clear that meadows had no plans to cooperate until the courts ruled on trump's claim of executive privilege. >> and that, by the way, is now delayed as well. a federal appeals court has paused the release of trump white house documents to the select committee. the national archives was supposed to start handing them over today, including handwritten notes from meadows himself. cnn's daniela diaz is live on capitol hill with more for us this morning. good morning, daniela, what do we know? >> reporter: this is what we know, guys. the select committee investigating the january 6 insurrection took its first step last night to possibly referring former white house chief of staff mark meadows to the department of justice for criminal contempt of congress if he fails to comply with friday's deadline for a deposition a

time magazine inside donald trump's white house chaos, the guardian, chaos in the white house, there's never been anything like this yet when the media cried chaos what they were expressing was fear. wife you? they knew trump was going to do what he promised to do during the campaign, take the country in a new populist direction, a gut punch to the old establishment, both parties. unlike so many others trump wasn't willing to play the old game of media pattycake in exchange for more favorable coverage from them so they set the stage for the completely bogus russia collusion investigation, targeting of michael flynn, the phony claims of racism, the sham impeachment proceedings and much much more and because of that wildly biased reporting most of what americans saw was a swirl of controversy, yet now, look at where we are. america is truly in dangerous or president who is physically and mentally deteriorating before our eyes and real chaos and i mean real is unfolding, food and fuel prices devouring family budgets, schools are under siege by radical anti-american forces and inflation sp

at the bottom of the campaign with not a lot of political experience but really thrived in a trump white housed not have a lot of order and found himself in the final days of the administration as someone with an enormous amount of power, the power over personnel, someone that trump was listening to. you have to remember what those final weeks of the trump administration were like. the john kellys of the world were long gone and don mcgahns of the world were long gone and bill barrs of the world had been pushed aside and that allowed people like rudy giuliani, mike flynn and mcentee to have direct access to the president at a time trump was looking for anything to stay in office. he was willing to entertain any idea to push any norm and to essentially fortify himself in the white house to stay there as long as possible. now, we know that these efforts failed but as you're pointing out, the committee is going back and looking at this and mcentee is an important person in trump's orbit at that point in time. >> our colleague jonathan karl has a new book on trump and i want to read to you what he

white house grounds by security. that was short lived. after john kelly left the white house, trump re-hired mcentee. because he was nothing if not loyal to the president. donald trump values loyalty above all else, even if he does not reciprocate it. trump decided he was due for a promotion, despite having no experience. trump wanted to appoint him as the director of the white house presidential personnel office. that's a pretty big job in any white house. in that position, he would oversee the vetting and hiring of everyone from ambassadors to cabinet members. not everyone thought it was a good idea. one staffer who oversaw the personal office told the president, i have never said no to anything you have asked me to do, but i'm asking you to reconsider this. i don't think it's a good idea. trump took that about as well as you can imagine. reportedly screamed at the staffer, you people never f-ing listen to me. going to f-ing do what i tell you to do. mcentee got the job and embarked on this ideological effort to purge the white house who are insufficiently loyal to donald trump. he hired new staffe

who communicated directly with white house senior staff mark meadows and people in trump's or orbit? how much notice did the white house have about what was going to happen on january 6th and were there concerns elevated to them about it being dangerous, about it being violent? imagine if at the end of the day, this committee uncovers the reality that the donald trump white house knew an insurrection would happen in advance and yet, they did nothing to stop it, they did not deploy the resources needed to roll it back, they just sat there and let it happen. reading these subpoenas that, it makes me think they have testimony of witnesses who said to them, there was information that was conveyed to the white house about the severity of what was going to happen and the white house did nothing. >> well, we know roger stone has a history of dirty tricks that involves making violence sort of looking attacks on the vote count and he's a dirty trickster, what he does. but on that point that you just made, i want to point to joyce -- let joyce deal with this question because you have two people

trail with you in 2016, steve bannon was a fixture back then, went into the white house, served as the chief strategist to donald trump in the white house and, you know, was unceremoniously booted out of the white house, as you know, in august of 2017, but remained in the picture. so you know him well. do you think he looks at this indictment as a badge of honor? >> absolutely. absolutely. you know, i want to start out by saying i'm very glad that this is happening, and i do hope that it will have, you know, many others who are getting subpoenaed like you said at the beginning, take a step back and realize there's some consequences here. however, my prediction is that the former president is going to tell everybody to continue to stall, they're going to fund-raise off of this. bannon absolutely i think is going to wear this as a badge of honor and martyr himself almost. you know, this is a very small example compared to what's going on, but i recall in the white house when we would get hatch act violations, that was a badge of honor. it was a joke in the white house. and you know, the president used to say to us, you

don mcgahn and wrote a very harsh opinion as it relates to executive privilege and what the trump white house believed it had at that time. and of course that was an opinion that was written when trump was still the president. he is of course no longer the president, and the biden white house has said they have no problem handing over these documents. so if trump were to lose this appeal, he still could go much further. it could end up in the supreme court. but the fact this is happening so quickly shows that the courts are willing to help the committee and move the legal process forward because as we know, one of the legal strategies for trump and his associates is to draw this process out as long as possible, maybe to the midterm elections, where if republicans win, they'll likely shut the committee down. >> thank you, ryan. appreciate that. >>> joining me now, cnn white house correspondent john harwood, and former nixon white house counsel john dean. let's start with john dean this evening. what do you think this select committee -- why are they going after jeffrey clark? we know officials

cheers and applause but before we get to all that, a judge ruled that official records from the trump white housee turned over to the congressional committee investigating the january 6th insurrection and yet, even as trump and his allies face various investigations and accusations of wrongdoing, they're still reappearing on right wing media networks to lie about everything from the pandemic to the economy. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." [ cheers and applause ♪ >> seth: when trump left office, there were lots of people i would have been happy to never see or hear from again like overinflated football jason miller or the zombie who somehow retained the ability to talk, stephen miller [ laughter ] "yes, i did catch the rage virus and yes, i do have an appetite for brains, but that should not distract from the fact that joe biden is an illegitimate president. [ laughter ] but probably the person i miss the least is kellyanne conway, whose shamelessness truly knew no bounds. she was somehow the trump administration's most prolific and also worst liar. she wasn't even smooth about it

committee investigating the january 06 attack on congress can access some of former president trump's white houseter the congressional committee issued subpoenas to ten more trump administration officials, including a former senior adviser and his press secretary. in a statement, donald trump condemned the committee and repeated false claims that the election was fraudulent. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes gave us more detail about what might be in donald trump's white house records. we understand that these are memos between the president and presidential aides, telephone records, visitor logs and it's clear that the committee wants to get a picture of he was arriving at the white house, perhaps it was meeting with the president, the kind of conversations he was having in the days leading up to the attack on congress onjanuary six. attack on congress on january six. �* , ., six. and they will now get those documents. - six. and they will now get those documents. they i six. and they will now get l those documents. they are likely to be handed overfrom officials that are keeping them

to surrender monday after a federal grand jury handed up an indictment against the one-time trump white house adviser. his argument to being shielded by executive privilege of a former president went nowhere with the justice department probably because he wasn't in the white house at the time when the insurrection happened. those charges became public shortly after former trump white house chief of staff mark meadows defied the committee by refusing to appear for his required testimony on friday morn. a short time ago i asked preet bharara about the same fate as bannon? >> the last time someone was indicted by the justice department for criminal contempt of congress was 38 years ago. and there are a lost witnesses in play here. there is a lost people who have a lot of different kinds of information. documentary inform, communications that could shed light on what happened on january 6 and also their testimony and i think that early in the process and it is pretty early in the process still, to bring a criminal indictment against someone who defiant of the a subpoena should put nervousness int

the committee today subpoenaed top trump white house advisor peter navarro, it came after the committeed the request by releasing emails showing how integral navarro was in the early trump white house response to the pandemic, including taking advice from a fringe outside adviser. they also released emails showing navarro inexplicably pushing the use of hydroxychloroquine, though it is not known to have effect on covid-19. he also told trump to fire doctor fauci twice. he publicly denounced anthony fauci as evil. he wrote an op-ed in july of last year about how terrible and wrong anthony fauci was. the op-ed was published with a special note at the top by usa today, as it contained too many falsehoods. why did they publish it? peanut of our refused to respond in november. he repeatedly hung up when he was called to follow up on the request. now it's a subpoena, demanding he follow up with documents and follow up with a deposition. the committee is also suggesting in its communications today that navarro may have withheld additional evidence, in part by using encrypted private communicat

attorneys for former trump white house adviser steve bannon were quiet today. one day after their client's federal indictment over his refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas over the events of january 6th. mr. bannon is certainly complying now, slated to turn himself into federal authorities on monday. as more details inevitably emerge into just how sim pa theting our last president was to the insurrectionists that threaten his vice president's life. and while the president's infrastructure victory does provide democrats with something substantive to run on next year, they still have to do so against the enduring legacy of trumpism, assisted by gop state lawmakers pushing voter suppression laws and jerry manned maps. as you can tell, we got a big political show tonight. plus, in a moment, the saga of the late ahmaud aubrey joins me after what i can personally tell you was an intense week in the trial of the three georgia men charged with his murder. joining us, aubrey family attorney ben crump, who promises with me not one, not two, but possibly 100 bla

i served in the trump white house as a career professional from the fbi, but going back to your pointah, that is one of the shifts in this issue is that what was sort of on the fringe of sort of the extreme right has now over the last four to six years become mainstream at a political level, and whether that's due to the initial foreign influences that were promoting a lot of these beliefs and ideas in 2016 and have now become more mainstream in our political domestic political landscape, i mean, it's a complex issue, but that is a troubling aspect of what we're seeing. and, again, we have to figure out a way to get back to the center so we can come up with some solutions to make 2024 a much safer process for everyone involved. >> javed ali, former senior director for counterterrorism, thank you for your public service and thanks for talking to us about this tonight. i really appreciate having you here. >> thank you. >> all right. we've got much more ahead tonight. stay with us. more ahead tonight. stay with us [gaming sounds] [gaming sounds] [gaming sounds] just think, he'll be drivi

. >> maggie, on trump's white house documents, you heard that forceful rejection of trump's argumentsand i'm quoting now, presidents are not kings and plaintiff is not president. that has to be hard for former president trump to wrap his head around, doesn't it? >> look, i don't think trump ever likes being reminded he's not president and hearing it in a legal decision is not going to sit well. unsurprisingly you'll see trump continue to try to fight this as jeffrey said. there's a running out the clock strategy here. his folks talk about the importance of trying to set legal precedent related to former president's executive privilege and that's fine but this is also a strategy trump has had many times. none of this, you know, is helpful to trump in terms of simply reminding him that he is not president anymore. he has, however, wolf, i would point out, begun this very aggressive effort to try to rewrite what took place january 6th, rewrite what was happening at the capitol, rewrite why it was taking place, rewrite whether there was violence or not, and i think that that is -- that's

she told trump's lawyers that the current occupant of the executive branch in the white house is in there idea here. we only have one president at a time. it's joe biden. he's ultimately the one who makes these calls and i think and for that reason trump is going to lose. >> and, again, he chose not to assert executive privilege. today's hearing comes three weeks after the original district judge ruled against trump. kim, how soon do you expect a decision from this court? >> well, this court understands that this is, you know, an urgent matter real, and it's urgent because of the timing of the political system. that is, we're less than a year away from the mid terms, and i think that's the long play here from the trump team. i agree with norm, you know, you can read article ii of the united states constitution, and it creates one president, and the judges here are not only concerned with having former presidents being able to supercede the one president under the constitution, but they are being asked to supercede that president and being asked to weigh in on executive privilege and i d

documents in days. >> maybe just a couple days, lester it looks like those key documents from the trump white house related to january 6th will not stay secret much longer. that's after a big legal setback for former president trump. a federal judge is now ruling against him, rejecting mr. trump's claim of executive privilege as he tries to keep hundreds of pages of these documents out of the hands of lawmakers investigating that capitol riot the judge writing presidents are not kings and the place is not president. the judge pointed to the position of the biden white house which supports sharing the information with congress mr. trump's team is now appealing, but they're running out of options and out of time with the national archives set to release those papers friday. lester >> hallie jackson in washington, thank you. >>> we are watching a powerful storm sweeping across the country in the plains 10 million are at risk for severe thunderstorms from iowa to texas. tomorrow cold will change rain to snow across the upper midwest causing travel to be dangerous. and by friday the mid atlantic and nor

visitor logs, white house call records - >> seth: personally, i'm shocked the trump house even had any records at all i assumed that place was like a radioshack in a zombie movie [ laughter ] most of the call logs probably just say, "some guy called, sounded french," or "rudy giuliani butt dial" over and over again and there's an obvious reason trump wants to keep those records hidden as we've discussed before, trump and his cronies had a detailed plan for overturning the election results, and they tried to execute that plan and they almost succeeded i wasn't an impulse, or a whim it was a plot. trump even had a lawyer who wrote an instruction manual for overturning the result and when vice president mike pence declined to follow through on the plan, that same trump lawyer told pence the violent insurrection was his fault as the insurrection was happening. >> "the washington post" is now reporting that in the middle of the capitol invasion as rioters were overrunning the building and chanting "hang mike pence," one of fromer president trump's attorneys emailed a top

the committee today subpoenaed top trump white house adviser peter navarro.the subpoena came after the committee had requested documents and information from him in september. they accompanied that request by releasing e-mails showing how integral navarro was in the early trump white house response to the pandemic including taking advice from a fringe outside adviser. they also released emails showing navarro inexplicably pushing the use of hydroxychloroquine. he publicly denounced anthony fauci as evil. he wrote an op-ed in july about how terrible and wrong anthony fauci was, and "usa today" had to publish a special note saying the content did not meet its fact-checking standards. then why did you publish it. it's against that backdrop that peter navarro refused to respond. he repeatedly hung up when they called him on the phone to follow up on the request. they're demanding documents by december 8th. they want him to sit for a deposition a week later on december 15th. the committee is also suggesting in its communications today that navarro may have withhel

meantime, a federal judge ruled against former president donald trump who wanted to keep white house days around the attack on the capitol by his supporters a secret. the judge said the records should be forwarded to the select committee investigating the attack. trump's attorneys argued executive privilege, that a president's records are protected, but he's not the president. she said trump's argument appears to be premised on the notion that his executive power exists in perpetuity. the committee investigating the attack subpoenaed more white house officials, including the former white house secretary that said she had proof the election was fraudulent. a special council investigating trump white house just released a report showing numerous instances of the former president and staff to use the taxpayer money to campaign, and that's against the law. we're watching everything that is happening in washington. my goodness, there's a lot of it. i'm talking about it on social media, facebook and twitter. >> thanks, scott. >>> later today we may get answers on the affects from our climat
