that's how he's using the state department. uliani was using the state department like it's a third-rate detective agency. >> shocking but maybe it shouldn't be. >> you can see in bossert's frustration. imagine if you're a career expert, a subject matter expert, a foreign affairs expert, security expert, and you're part of the american government which for all its faults is a pretty great institution around the world. it's being turned into an instigator of the common section on breitbart or whatever. literally it is being perverted to give life to these made-up accusations. and, you know, in the clip earlier from the president he couldn't even get out a straight sentence explaining what the allegation was. that's a good sign of two things. he can't speak intelligibly when he's under pressure. and, two, there is no allegation. they can't even phrase it in a way that's direct. >> it is a great point and it's 4:49, it shouldn't take us 49 minutes to make it. there is no voracity to any of these allegations about the bidens. >> no.

the us state department says it's in close consultation with british officials and any request will beoved. it's offered its deepest sympathies to harry dunn's family. simon jones, bbc news. earlier, charlotte charles, harry's mother, told victoria derbyshire that she wasn't ready to forgive anne secoolas for going back to the us. she didn't purposely drive on the wrong side of the road, clearly. we assume she forgot which country she was in. a head—on collision, harry didn't stand a chance on his motorbike. as experienced as he was, having covered over 50,000 miles in three and a half years, he was a very accomplished, very good rider. but being on the brow of a hill, you know, didn't stand a chance, but we know, didn't stand a chance, but we know it was unintentional from her, so know it was unintentional from her, so if she had stayed and faced our justice system and us as a family, we could have found that forgiveness. we would have probably, we said to the police that we would try to get her death by dangerous driving prosecution that they were going for downgraded to death by car

the justice department is intervening on trump's behalf in his personal lawsuit to hide his finances from the public eye. trump has proven he will use the state department against anyone who believes he believes threatens his power or's ability to stay in office. he will order the removal of career diplomats who will not carry out his whims without question. does anyone doubt he would use any other part of the government, any power available as president to destroy anyone? anyone he believes threatens his ability to stay in power or behind the veil? the ability to stay in office? when i announced my candidacy, and i did it here as well, i said i was running in order to restore the soul of america. it was not hyperbole. it wasn't just what we saw in charlottesville, virginia. people coming out of the woods and fields carrying torches and chanting anti-semitic bile, accompanied by white supremacist and the ku klux klan. it has been repeated and repeated. folks, restoring the soul of america, that is what is at stake in 2020. that is why this election is so important. it is likely will not donald trump pick the democratic nominee for president,

they are letting rudy giuliani use the state department, use tax resources, official government facts and influence to people to gather personal, political information. you have the president again, i get the politics of it, he's trying to say, what's wrong? i'll keep doing it. >> but by him repeatedly doing it and repeatedly saying it out loud, it emboldens house democrats and emboldens their inquiry and adds, potentially further, another checkmark of, oh, this is an abuse of power, saying it on front lawn exactly what was in the transcript and exactly what they're pursuing in their inquiry right now. >> i'll come back to this in a second. it also makes it harder for republicans. >> to the extent you could point to what's in the whistleblower complaint, you could say we don't know the extent of the conversations, we don't know the full extent of the transcript even though we have a partial transcript, how can we say what the tenor of that back and forth were. they can cast some doubt that's objectionable in those conversations, but when the president says the very same thing out loud

earlier i spoke to matthew bryza, a former us state department official specialising in turkey. asked for his assesment of donald trump's policy regarding turkey. i think president trump's policy has been ill formed or amorphous. number one, he wants a good relationship with president erdogan. he likes a fellow strongman and that is president erdogan. number two, he does not want to impose sanctions on turkey. he wants a good relationship with turkey so i think a week ago today, when president erdogan said we are going in. president trump said ok, i respect that and we are going to get out of the way. i think president trump did not think through what the consequences would be. in other words there is no real policy. he was i think taken aback by the strong reaction against his moves, including by senate republicans. i will also say, my understanding from my visit to washington a week ago, the us and turkey were very close to an agreement on a safe zone in northern syria. the turks wanted it to be deeper than the us wanted. the turks wanted to have full control, the us did not l

these documents, quote, reinforce the concern the president and his allies sought to use the machinery of the state department to further the president's personal and political interests. joining me now congressman jamie raskin of maryland. i think it was not classified, if i'm not mistaken. you can tell us what happened? >> well, essentially he distributed this packet of information which looked immediately to me like a punch of propaganda and disinformation, the kind giuliani has been passing around recently. but the most curious thing is the packaging it was in because it was in -- it came in a manila envelope addressed to secretary pompeo if they knew who his staff was, and then it was written, the white house up in the left-hand corner but it didn't look like official white house stationary, and there were a series of subdividers which were trump hotel folders on the inside. this package was then given by secretary pompeo to his counsel who then gave it to the inspector general and apparently the counsel said something to the affect of that the secretary reported this, quote, came over. presumably that i

we'll have to wait and see. >> explain to us exactly the role of the state department inspector generalnt is he from the secretary? and also tell us about steve linick. he was appointed by the obama administration when you were in the state department. >> he was. he's a very honest man. very hard working, very dilige t diligent. he is a very dedicated public service and takes his job extraordinarily seriously. secretary kerry had great respect for mr. linick when he was secretary of state. look. he is a completely independent operator. that's the way the inspector general system is set up. yes, he's appointed in this case appointed by president obama so it's a political appointee, but he is not beholdened to that party. he's not beholden to even the president that appointed him. he is beholden to the constitution and the roles and responsibilities of being an inspector general. he can be relieved of his duties by the president and he serves at the pleasure of the president. but he doesn't have to run anything by pompeo before he talks to members of the congress about this. >> so, john,

would have to do first actually levy those charges and then they would have to submit to the us state departmentres getting the approval of the judge to see if the approval of the judge to see if the extradition qualifies and finally there is a political decision by the secretary of state mike pompeo, is the last that, so this is a very complex process and it involves legal and political steps and typically it is something that will take a year or more. indeed. as a final thought i wonder if this is a new story which has had any traction in the us or whether it is too small an issue? i should not say that in terms of how it is a big issue for the family but i wonder if this has had a focus? he did initially get a fair amount of play and this is something that raises sympathies on both sides —— it did initially. the plight of the victim did infact initially. the plight of the victim did in fact get some sympathetic coverage here but unfortunately now that the woman is back in the us it really has become a non—issue here. as your own coverage is showing, there are a lot of major stories involving
