[end of video clip] rep. cheney: in our hearings you will hear firsthand how the senior leadership of the department of justice threatened to resign, how the white house counsel threatened to resign, and how they confronted donald trump and jeff clark in the oval office. the men involved, including acting attorney general jeff rosen and acting attorney -- were reported by president trump. these men honored their oath of office, they did their duty, and you will hear from them in our hearing. by contrast, jeff clark has invoked his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination and refused to testify. representative scott perry, who was also involved in trying to get clark appointed as attorney general has refused to testify. as you will see, representative perry contacted the white house in the weeks after january 6 to seek a presidential pardon. multiple other republican congressman also sought presidential pardons for their

talking about, the senior official in the justice department's national security office on count counter intelligence, but that means is that the united states and the justice department, this is the guy who is number one most in charge of making sure that america's enemies and adversaries don't steal our most important secrets. that's what counterintelligence is, for people aren't familiar with the term. that's his job, he's playing defense, trying to protect the enormous array of highly sensitive details, documents, information spread all through out the leaky u.s. government. he's the person -- the fact that he made this trip personally down to mar-a-lago to ask nicely for these documents is really big deal. the signed attestation for one of trump's lawyers is also incredibly important because on the search warrant that we obtained, that list just a small number of statutes under which trump could face legal exposure. one of those statues is obstruction of justice. my understanding is that if you or your agent lies deliberately to investigators in order to impede a criminal investigation that is ongoing, that immediately ratchets up the r

so what we have now is the, basically the narrative from the united states, from justice department, which been described in the new york times of snap, as is of the international esplanade novels. that's the description of new york times of what has been basically published. so basically it's very interesting to see all of the studies coming to start the 24 hours and after the final agreement, which been reach to and in vietnam has been basically sent to different capitals. it's concerning the nuclear issue. so the timing is very interesting to see the story coming exactly and the time where there is talk about reaching a deal on the nuclear issue. the timing is sensitive. how will these allegation do you think impact those efforts to re revive the iran nuclear deal? there will have impact because basically such a in used to god this wither base this or with base, you know, no one knows how mr. united states actually is sure about what they have. but it's very interesting to see, you know, how would be the reaction from different countries like european countries, because this is, t

department of justice willing to take this step. we're also right outside of the window, but we're in the mid term elections in the united states, and the department of justice is low to act within the last 90 days before an election. we are just outside that window right now. i suspect the department of justice felt some urgency to take this step. they did so are now outside of the window of the elections in the united states. right. very interesting. thank you for giving us your thoughts. jeff, how's a lawyer on the director of the revolving door project? the center for economic policy was such fella had on al jazeera with, for us men killed in america. their fears at a serial killer could be still king's. bringing the benign fronds at home ever century after they were stolen, a london museum agrees to hand back 72 price ah, the journey has begun. the v for world copy is on its way to the castle book, your travel package today. here's your forecast for tuesday, august the 9th, across asia. hi everyone. let's kick this one off in pockets. time where we're seeing those monsoon rains intensify for sin state. particularly eastern port

, this is not something, and this is an understatement, that happens lightly at the united states department of justice. you made this point that i want to sort of amplify, rachel. two branches of government are involved in a search warrant. the executive branch, the fbi, and department of justice have asked permission, and the judicial branch which grants permission. this is not just some fbi agent off by herself seeking to search the former presidents home, highly scrutinized, -- we history the united states department of justice. and, then approval by a federal judge. >> chuck, i started making calls and texting people as soon as the news broke tonight. and, in addition to yourself, i spoke to another former very high-ranking doj official. he told me a couple of things that i just wanted to run by, this is a person who's not comfortable being identified publicly, but was living the willing to let me characterize the remarks. in terms of framing their understanding of what happened here. the first comment i got from this person, drives a little bit with what you said. that attorney merrick garland hi

>>> welcome to all of you watching us in the united states, canada, and around the world. u.s. justice department releases the document that led to the fbi search of former president donald trump's home. revealing the classified files he was given there. >>> plus, there are more questions about who is being for the white houses new student loan forgiveness plan. >>> reconnected to ukraine's power grid. how ukraine may have avoided a disaster in a live report. >> this is cnn newsroom. in >>> we are getting our clearest look into the classified documents kept at donald trump's mar-a-lago resort. details what federal investigators expected to find. that has been properly taking materials, evidence of obstruction. donald trump insists he did nothing wrong and calls for the release of the affidavit's of refuse from the fbi and justice department. meanwhile, president biden is mocking his claims of declassified documents. here he is. two i want to know if i can declassify everything in the world? [ inaudible question ] >> it depends on the document and how secure. >> jessica has more on what the affida

united states before. the department of justice petitioned and released the search warrant and the inventory of what they obtained. we are in a place where many things have been made public and the judge is making -- doing a good job of balancing the extraordinary nature of this entity interest in a significant public information about why this happened with the interests of the department of justice in preserving an ongoing criminal and for -- investigation. if you left everything you have, it makes it hard to do interviews and keep on investigating the case. host: because of your background, what does an affidavit do particularly when it comes with -- two mar-a-lago? guest: it is from a lead agent and it will set out the evidence that the government has obtained so far. it will say we are investigating these offenses and we talked to these people. here is what we obtained. we have reason to believe these offenses may have been committed and is evidence -- this evidence exists in this location but it maintains things like the identity of people who have been spoken to and what they said and that can do a number

justice department didn't reveal anything. a private u.s. citizen, that is the former president of the united states chose to speak. once the former president burst the bubble the department of justice can then go to a judge and say since the private citizens spoke, maybe it's appropriate to release the document. the doj won't release the document and the fbi won't. pro move. the second thing i would say is the department of justice isn't on the hook to speak any more unless they wish to. they didn't talk about the investigation and progress about the investigations and marked contrast to james comey. they tonight have to talk about the investigation, all they ask is another element of government, that is a judge, respond to a private citizen who has spoken. this is a pro move and this is someone with a lot of experience, wolf. >> abby philip, the clock is clearly ticking right now for the former president to either fight to keep these documents secret or allow the public to see exactly what the fbi was looking for. is the ball now in his court? >> it absolutely is, wolf, as it has been frankly from the very beginni

justice department is focused on several federal criminal statutes. including the espionage act which involves and criminalizes mishandling of national defense information. secret, classified information, the disclosure of which could jeopardize united statesnal security. what we learned today is a little bit why the justice department decided they needed to move with urgency, expedition, and execute a search warrant on the former president of the united states. laura: it is completely unprecedented. what do you make of the fbi taking boxes from mar-a-lago, including some that contained top-secret material? thomas: it tells us they found at least some of what they are looking for. when you go to a judge and ask for approval of a search warrant, you have to identify the documents or the evidee you think you might find. the fact that they carted off a lot of boxes and they describe them in general terms, so we don't know the specific documents or what was in there. but we have a sense based on the general descriptions. they did find documents that contained classified, top-secret, or sci material which is the highest level of classification the u.s. government allows. laura: mr. trump's lawyers are arguing that the president has the ability

as a citizen of the united states, i want to know why the justice department did i want to know if the fbi search was legal because everything you did against donald trump was illegally illegal and immoral the country knows that you have destroyed our faith in justice republican journalists, politicians voters. everyone seems to come out on one front to defend their former president. according to polls, almost 77% of republicans consider the search at trump's, less than 15% believe in the impartiality of the system as the intrigues of his political competitors. among them, it seems, is the former vice president of the united states. i want to remind my fellow republicans that we can hold the attorney general accountable for his decisions, but not attack the fbi rank and file. for threats on social networks and after attacks on agents, in some states, measures. the dangers around the fbi office are intensified by the attorney general, to whom the bureau reports. says he's proud with their people, in fact. it is turning the system of traditional relations between the us government and th

united states is under active criminal investigation in multiple venues, under active criminal investigation in the state of georgia, his lawyers are reportedly negotiating already with the justice department, in washington, witnesses before the criminal grand jury have reportedly been asked about his actions, the reason the former president was not at his florida home for today's fbi raid may in fact, have been because he was in new york city in preparation for what is expecting to be a sworn deposition from him very soon. in a new york attorney general probe investigating him an his family business on multiple allegations of serious fraud. that's a lot of firsts already. but today, the former president, donald trump, was the subject of an fbi raid on his home in south florida. and historically, sort of, you know, can't be overstated, and i do think it is worth pausing and reflecting on the fact today that we do not know where this leads, that we do not know where this ends, that this is a president who recently, in recent months has told some of his most rabid followers not only that he is still the rightful president of the united states, and has been forced out in some sort of unlawful

united states. and the justice department in this filing is saying that as a result of this, because of the actions taken by members of law enforcement authorized by a federal judge down there in the southern district of florida there have now been threats, which sort of gets to what we've been living with frankly over the last five years or so, with the idea that the former president with some of his public statements, the statements of some of his allies, can trigger this deluge that goes at whoever he believes is wronging him. and in this case we're talking about federal law enforcement officers. and of course for the justice department, the concern here is that they're trying to do an investigation and they need to be able to get the trust of witnesses. according to this, witnesses is very important because it tells us that it's not just one person who has given information to the fbi and prosecutors about what they saw at mar-a-lago and what gave them the belief that there was more classified documents to be retrieved there. so we're talking about multiple people, multiple witnesses that the j

you have the sitting president of the united states, joe biden, through his justice department, through his fbi, conducting a raid on the person who is presumed to be his opponent in the next election, and also the 45th president of the united states. as president trump pointed out in his statement, it is risible to this would be purportedly done in the name of document preservation from the leaks we've seen when hillary clinton used an off-book server for years to conduct classified state business and at the same time money was being funneled by the millions into the clinton foundation with the very people she was doing business with. to this day, has never been investigated, not by the fbi, not by the irs, not by anybody. we are truly living in a situation where the fbi has become a pretorian guard from rome, where they take it unto themselves to decide who wields power in this country. >> will: steven, i can't help but notice that for all trump was accused, it seems that biden is intent on embodying. it was said donald trump would, quote, lock her up. that did not happen with hillary

comment, the department of justice needs to understand the public interest in this and legitimate interest. there are two institutions at stake here -- the presidency of the united states the department of justice. i served in the department of justice, i care about it, i value it, and it is critical to our democracy that it has credibility and broad suprt and they operate under our rule of law and they need to explain what is happening here. there is some urgency. i think both democrats and republicans expect some comment from the department of justice explaining exactly what is happening. judy: house minority leader kevin mccarthy has already said what the justice department has done is weaponizing, he has used the term they weaponized the justice system. are you prepared to go that far? gov. hutchinson: no, because i don't know the facts and i think that would be unfair. i think they've had instances in the past where it appears the justice department got political, but i don't think we ought to jump to that conclusion. i don't think we should jump to a different conclusion. let's get the facts out there and hear from the justice department exactly what happened and

cannot be the case that the january 6th committee somehow has more evidence than the united states department of justiceblem. whenever someone in leadership -- now i'm talking about merrick garland -- decides to elevate his own personal views -- in this case it being a concern that, somehow, it would be political, to political, to investigate and indict the former president of the united states, and elevate that over what justice requires, including with the future of our democracy, i think, requires -- because, this guy is out here, and donald trump is the person i am talking about now, still the de facto leader of the republican party. still inciting violence, talking about running for reelection, evading -- having evaded all accountability thus far for his conduct. and they're being nothing to prevent him from doing the same thing all over again. and this is personal for me, obviously, as someone who lived through that violent insurrection and who nearly died at the capitol on january 6th, only to see two thirds of my republican colleagues vote hours later, not to certify that free and fair election

as federal statute that prevents this exact type of behavior from happening out of united states department of justicerence in the post is someone familiar with the documents and always more leaks. and as i mentioned in the open, the first leak was about to nuclear materials and it has allowed folks over at msnbc to just pop off with impunity, watch. >> will given his nature in its history and his lack of character, you can't help but think that he would look at a document and want to wonder what you have to pay it as. >> laura: i have heard over a lot of things, but coming from mike barnicle who is an old fellow who has had his own ethical problems, that is really pathetic. >> it is despicable, it is despicable. listen, i've come to know president trump are very well. i do not believe for a second that he thought he did anything wrong with any of those documents or intentionally knowingly or willfully would have. and you know the political nature of it based on the way that this raid came down. there was no reason for that. go through the documents together with every court and every lawyer on site i

it isn't the role of the united states department of justice to talk about what will happen to the individual. what the community is trying to do is keep abreast of the changes, that's why we created this litigation tracker. the courts have to be accessible. if the courts are changing our rights, which we have seen so profoundly in the last month, it isn't just an issue for loggers. we can't understand what is happening in the courts and how quickly we can advocate, you will see immigration advocates, research experts trying to fix those data hours that i was talking about originally. and also ensuring that it is brought to the judge so that as they weigh what is happening, they have some sense of what their decision will mean for many years to come. >> just building off what karen is saying, when you're in this litigation, i would say, a lot of times the litigation is between the department of justice and all they do is immigration. they are highly specialized. at the same time, the judges are not coneheads. what you start from the district court, the court of appeals, or the supreme court.

is a great example if you are a lover of civil rights in the constitution of how the united states department of justice can be used to weaponize and target political enemies. it is an abuse of that process to do that. but that is what we are seeing in this affidavit. >> really quick in one sentence. we were told that joe scarborough among others had dangerous nuclear secrets in this document. have you seen any indication that that is true? >> tucker, the people that run the doj fetishize these markings in all this bureaucratic stuff they put out there. they have to do to justify their existence. no, there is no evidence of that in the unredacted affidavit, tucker. >> thank you fur that. great to see you tonight. >>> early this week a man called andrew tate was basically erased from the internet by all the big tech companies and some financial companies too. we wondered why. who is this guy? we sat down and talk to him. what don't they want you to hear from andrew tate? we played you a bunch of it last night. there is one part we haven't played about self respect and why that is so important. we thought

united states is under active criminal investigation in multiple venues. he's under active criminal investigation in the state of georgia. his lawyers are reportedly negotiating already with the justice department in washington. witnesses before a federal criminal grand jury have reportedly been asked about his former actions. the reason the former president was not at his florida home for today's fbi raid is because perhaps he was in new york city for a deposition in a new york attorney general probe investigating him on multiple allegations of fraud. that's a lot of firsts already. but today the former president, donald trump, was the subject of an fbi raid on his home in south florida. and historically, sort of -- you know, it can't be overstated. i do think it is worth pausing and reflecting on the fact today we do not know where this leads, we do not know where this ends. this is a president who recently in recent months has told some of his most rabid followers not only that he's still the rightful president of the united states and has been forced out in some sort of unlawful putch but he's promised his followers will take to the streets in unprecedented numbers for demonstrations the co

united states. the department of justice compelled by a federal court made the incredibly unusual move of releasingt before charges are filed or declined in an investigation. not only that but the affidavit is for probable cause to get a search warrant for the home and private club of a former president of the united states because the government says that president took home hundreds of classified documents that appear to contain national defense information to an unsecure location when he wasn't supposed to. here is what we learned. beyond classified and top secret markings, the affidavit details the specific markings fbi agents found on some of the documents in the 15 boxes that were returned to the national archives back in january, a year after donald trump left office. in other words, the markings that set off alarm bells at the national archives and eventually led to this whole investigation. hcs, human control

applied for earlier in the week he says the department of justice did not take this decision lightly that is to go into the home of a former president of the united states against his will, presumably the department of justice knew just exactly what to expect here in terms of the outcry of publicity and outpouring of criticism from trump defenders. within the next couple of minutes we expect to see these new documents detailing exactly what the department of justice can say publicly so far about all of this. >> i'm frankly not entirely sure that that's a given. that goes to the very end of this document which i've now been able to read through. at the end of it, it says -- it goes through the reasons that merrick garland and others believe it should be unsealed and then says argument in these circumstances, the court should unseal the search warrant, including attachments a and b and the property receipt, meaning the list of the items taken from the property by the department of justice and federal investigation. it said those attachments and the property receipt absent objection from the former president. we all know that had the former president wante

. >>> welcome do to all of you watching us in the united states, canada and around the world. the u.s. justice department releasing the document that led to the fbi search of former president trump's private home. what it revealed about the classified files he was keeping there. >>> plus, the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is reconnected to the ukrainian power grid. >>> and china's climate change goals are put to a test. >>> live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom," with kim br brunhuber. >>> we're getting our clearest look yet into the u.s. justice department's investigation into classified documents kept a former president trump's mar-a-lago resort. the affidavit to obtain a search warrant details what they expected to find, including taking national security materials as well as items about obstruction. we have more on the key take aways from the unsealed document. >> reporter: now public, a heavily-redacted version of the affidavit that led to the fbi search at former president donald trump's mar-a-lago home. in it, shocking new details. the fbi telling a judge that there was probable cause to

so if a lawyer told the united states department of justice, that there is nothing else here, there are no classified documents, there is nothing pursuant to the presidential records act, you have everything, we've turned it over. and that's not true, the next question is, why isn't that true, stephanie? is that not true because the really bad lawyers, and they didn't do due diligence, is it true because he asked trump, and trump lied to them, and they repeated the lie? did they know it was a lie? or did they not know is a lie? or, did they actually have eyes on these documents, and wrote a letter to the department of justice those false? again, this is why you do investigations. so could the lawyers be on the hook, conceivably yes, do we know that now, not yet. but matt's really important point, and i really want to put another sort of gloss on it, is that we've always talked on your show and others about how hard it is to prove intent. it's the hardest thing to prove in these types of cases. not that someone did something, but that some someone did something intentionally. but when yo
