now, being a white house historian, the story of the white house does not end in 1820. it continues and changes and evolves. all of a sudden, you find yourself using all of your knowledge of american history and starting to connect the dots. in terms of major changes in american society or demographic or economic changes. you can see these things unfolding at the white house. so, it is one of those things where you do not really learn the depths of the history until you get into the job, then you realize how incredibly complicated and complex it actually is. susan: what is your story, how did you get to the association? lindsay: i met matt, we were both at mount vernon as follows. we were there for an extended period of time. i was working on my dissertation on washington, a different aspect. we stayed friends and touched base occasionally about what we were up to. i had a postdoctoral fellowship at the presidential history in dallas. that was coming to an end. they happened to have an opening. matt called me and said hey, we have this position coming up, would you like

people knew about it white and black and the public, men, women, black, white, everybody was writing in to the war department. the war department had to take action. what action they take is a bit convoluted but eventually the women did return to fort devons and they remained as orderlies. so you read this book and say well nothing really changed, but things did change. they did have the attention of their higher brass. before they could not get the attention of even their local officers or tenants, and now, the war department of, secretary of war knew who these women were. president roosevelt knew who these women were, the naacp, the godmother of the wac, they had their attention and it did make a difference. even though these women returned back to their duties, it didn't change a lot for them all dramatically, but it really made a difference for other black women who were also being sent to other posts and there's one case in particular, gardner hospital, where during this case and after this case, there's a lot of memorandums between the war department and gardner hospital in chi

let's go to white house correspondent kaitlan cottins. the president tweeted quoting democrats are putting wonderful hope hicks through hell. what is the latest? >> reporter: wolf, clearly the president has been keeping close tabs on hope hicks being on capitol hill today. tweeting multiple times and again just in the last hour, talking about the way democrats are treating his former aide saying that they are putting her through hell for three years, quote, after total exoneration by robert mueller and the mueller report, he said they were unhappy with the results and they want a do-over and said it is very unfair and costly to her and he leaves us with the question, will it ever end? wolf, this comes as the president has been telling aides and allies he wasn't worried about hope hicks testifying, but of course now there are questions being raised about just how close the two of them still are. she was once president trump's top aide and closest confidant. but when hope hicks returned to washington today, she was on capitol hill instead o

working with young white kids who have no one to talk to. that if you are not talking or talking about it explicitly that you cannot get to it. so it is very important to acknowledge that education with that inclusion with that race equity lives at the elementary school level and k-12. we had occasion to work with college-age students and this is why you see some pushback because the john white men feel they are not part of it. and then if we address them in a more holistic fashion we will continue down this path. >> thank you for making this point we wrestle with this serious issue but as you observe that there are real racist movements around the world especially europe. so maybe we can prevent some young people from losing their lives in this way but we also have to confront at this level. >> i would add literacy we just need to educate people from an early age. >> very good. for - - i recognize you for five minutes. >> thank you to our witnesses hate begets hate violence begets violence and the more complicit we are and we cannot talk ab

white people don't see themselves. we had white women that must have seen the other videos.nk in that moment, wait a minute. am i about to get a hash tag? >> white people see groups with people of color and individual white people. that's their mo. it's nice to see the stories are aggravated because that particular of white folks saying i believe this black body does not belong in this coded white space. i feel threatened and i have the agency to call some authority figure to correct that. >> i have the agency to be the authority figure. >> that's how it feels to be in milwaukee. >> it may seem impossible and too big, but there is a workshop across town trying to do just that. complete with power point. >> we're are defining the anti-blackness is the distance between black people and your acceptance of their name. >> it's put on by university of milwaukee wisconsin. >> today's workshop is focused on dignity and can't blackness and we focus on the dignity as our responsibility. dignity resonates with folks because we talk about every individual can talk about how their dag ni

the white house is just making stuff up. they're saying this blanket immunity that no court case has ever talked about or ever found. in fact, the white house has not even exerted executive privilege when it comes to don mcgahn and he is a private citizen right now. we expect that he will come. >> as you know, the house oversight committee just voted to hold the attorney general bill barr and the commerce secretary wilbur ross in contempt over that citizenship question on the 2020 census. do you want to move forward with a full house vote? >> so what was good about the house vote that we took yesterday is it authorized all committees to have their subpoenas and contempt citations automatically enforced without future house votes. so, in fact, that one house vote has authorized their oversight committee to go forward and litigate this thin court, so that's what we did yesterday. >> the full house was planning to hold the attorney general bill barr in contempt over the mueller report, until your committee reached a deal with t

guest: i cannot get into anything that was going on inside the white house when i was at the white house or confirm any information relative to that. but talking about the roadblocking, this is an age-old issue between congress and the white house on a lot of oversight issues. there are always disputes over what information the executive branch has to turn over to congress, and it is nothing new at all. as it relates to 2020, look, this is why we have elections. factlks are happy with the unemployment is at its lowest and more people are working than ever before and gdp growth is outstanding and we are getting better trade deals with countries, they will have to make judgments as to the successes of this administration. i think the president is up for that challenge and up to the task no matter who he has on the others. host: i want to ask about the issue of impeachment. usatoday.com,n most americans want the president to comply with subpoenas, but impeach him, not so fast. what do you think is the likelihood of the house proceeding ahead on impeachment proceedings against the president?

it will be like this whites and non-whites it will level out 50 percent white 50 percent nonwhite by 2042 and then shortly thereafter it's going to flip for the 1st time in the history of the united states whites will become a minority so white while while there are many many many white people who embrace that change they realize that you know things evolve and they welcome that change they as a percentage of white people who do not embrace that change and they are very disconcerted about it and they're concerned that they're losing power because they have sat on the throne of power for 400 years and now they're thrown legs are being chopped off and they're being lowered down to the level of what they call the inferior people the brown people ok so they don't want to give up that power and that's why we're seeing more and more lone wolves going out and shooting up black churches shooting up sort of gods or these groups creating mayhem trying to start what they call ruffo up or the race war rocco i mean this racial holy war so as we get closer and closer to this shift change we're goi

these were white people, watching this white man beat up this white woman.y did not call the police until this black man beat up the white guy. then they called the police. these two officers came, and something was very strange. they would not arrest the guy. i wanted him arrested for assault. they would not arrest him. they told him, however, to leave the premises, and if he were to set foot back on the property within 24 hours, he would be arrested for trespassing. i said, i want him arrested now. he left. they said, you have to fill out a warrant or whatever else at the police station. i said, ok. i went inside, got some ice for this lady, applied it to the back of her head and helped her. and i asked her -- i said, i'm going to have him arrested, not only for assaulting me, but what he did to you. i am happy to come to court if you want to press charges against him. would you be willing to testify on my behalf? she said yes. she gave me her phone number and address. i helped her fix up her head. i went down to the police station. the commissioner gave m

left the white house in march of last year. so there is a mixed bag of what the committee wants to talk to her about and what she is responding to as it has been described to us so far. again, there will be a transcript of her remarks published at some future date. we are gathering nuggets. as we like to call them in the white house. >> sure do. >> reporter: and bits of information from members as they're coming out. >>> kelly, i will let you get back to watching that door. we will come back to you live. hans nichols, we will come to you live. we don't think we will hear from the president until he gets back to the white house from florida. i imagine questions from his former confidante, although she hasn't worked at the white house for a while, might be top of mind >> reporter: there might be a close to realtime readout. they are expecting to talk to white house counsels to figure out just what was said in the meeting. just to be clear on when they will assert privilege, they will assert for the transition period. after presid

questions about her time at the white house. that includes questions such as where her office was in the west wing, as well as whether she told the truth to the special counsel. according to democratic lawmakers in the room, they're making very clear she's not answering anything about any topics about their time at the white house. democrats coming in did want to ask her about those allegations of obstruction of justice that were laid out in the mueller report. the efforts allegedly by the president to undermine the mueller probe, including how he handled the firing of james comey, whether he wanted to dismiss the special counsel, as was alleged in the report, among other things, including his relationship with michael flynn and her role in drafting a misleading statement that went out to the press when it was revealed that donald trump jr. had a meeting at trump tower with russians who wanted to offer dirt on the clinton campaign. all those topics off limits. coming out of this hearing, democrats are making it very clear they'r

you have reporters asking the white house questions. the white house responding to it. and then these people, toothless whatever come down the hallway saying a strongly worded letter that you should be fired. this is so dumb. i can't believe kpaenl conway has to waste five brain cells worried about this. huss outrageous. >> richard. >> this is an attitude toward ethics it's embarrassing and shameful. and it's shameful to use the title as a former assist to president george w. bush and you know that in the bush white house this wouldn't have been tolerated. we would not tolerate violations of the hatch act and not refer to the offs of special counsel in this manner. the bottom line is the reason this is happening is because the united states house of representatives does not have the courage to impeach donald trump, even to open up an impeachment inquiry. and until then we are going to continue to get the middle finger for every single house of representatives subpoena, we are continuing to get this attitude toward the office of special counsel and it's going on and on b

and write white supremacy in. conventions and those laws exist until the 1960s. the idea that we are just talking about slavery is false. the idea that all of the injury was happening 150 years ago is false. and we have to get our heads around what we did and how much we benefitted from that and how much of those tax dollars that we had that black people were paying were not being used at all. their schools were underfunded. i grew up in one of these segregated neighborhoods. i watched my neighbor's house burn down because there was one fire hydrant and by the time they got the water, the house burned to the ground. >> we'll talk more about this. hold your next thought. we'll take a quick break. when we come back, i'll ask you to respond. health is magnificent. so are the traits you love about your breed, but behind them are health needs you may not see. royal canin believes in tailored nutrition, to ensure his long back and playful spirit get the joint support they need. or to help this gentle giant keep her hear

we white wealthy or middle class women are better than poor white women and we're better than these immigrant women coming from southern europe and eastern europe and certainly better than black women. so it just all comes out. and then the alliance with southerners, sort of a culmination. >> you mentioned frances arper. >> a category of hundreds of -- an african he merican woman, she was accustomed to and quite fed up with the hue millation that came with women, black women being put in the smoking cars, and not allowed to ride in first class cars. so there were many women not only in the north but also in the south who were dragged off of street cars and -- you know, i've been working on a story about some of them about four women in 1867 in south carolina who were dragged off street cars. so -- and it's important really to think about when i say this is 1867 so two years after a year ut -- and also after the civil rights act of 1866. so they should have had full access to ride to public accommodations, whether talking about skating rinks in the north or theaters in the south, or

he was willing to accept the white line but not under oath in front of the judge. -- the white lie but not under oath in front of the judge. doesn't that suggest pretext? ag davis: the issue as it reads from the record is that the juror who lied on a questionnaire admitted she lied for the purpose of getting off the jury. jus. sotomayor: if that were the case, i don't think one to take one juror and not push them on those questionnaires and come up to an intentional understatement or overstatement. ag davis: again, your honor, that was -- that is the issue is that each one of these strikes, we don't have one single reason. jus. roberts: let's look at them, but you do have history. uses peripheries, strikes all five. trial two, as much as possible, uses all five, strikes all five blacks. trial number three, 17 black possible. uses only 15 this time. he ran out of peremptory's and only had 15. fourth trial, 16 black, only struck 11. maybe only had 11 peremptories. now we come to this trial. i don't think it will take much. let's look at one black juror, one white one potentially. let's c

i don't like to think white white people are evil. i think they're ignorant. they don't know the history, and i commend you all to look at the history and the work that you've done in the past and then challenge you to do the right thing. rep. jackson lee: thank you. mr. coates, may i just -- may i bring you to the 21st century and a recent article in the new york times that basically says -- thank you. but in the shadows -- this is kansas city. downtown is booming. but in the shadows of the city's thriving business are languishing east side neighborhoods with boarded up homes, overgrown lots, the shiny caps and store fronts are almost nonexistent and residents feel forgotten. i love downtown and would love to see it grow, but you've got to be real, says ms. bowman who lives in the predominantly black east side. it's like neglect. we get the leftovers. can you just bring that together for us and what you have ascertained about the commission, racism, and where we are today? mr. coates: sure. you know, i think the consistent point from the comments that you jus

the white editors, they were just living in a different world. >> the majority press, the white pressically ignored african-americans and not just episodes of violence against them, but achievements, anything to do with their daily life. basically flat out ignored them. >> they didn't even often use their names. the names of black people because that would be a sign of respect. it's galling now to look at the level of disregard and oblivion that was in the media at that time. >> so long as you sit in the back, you have a false sense of, inferiority, and so long as you let the white man sit in the front and push you back there, he has a false sense of superiority. >> montgomery bus boycott. unbelievably successful from the very first day, and it took weeks to get a national reporter in there. i think it was six weeks before a news magazine came in and then 12 weeks before a major newspaper came in. to continue the struggle. not for ourselves alone but for all of america. >> he developed a strategy of resistance designed to challenge the status quo while never making white america feel

that's the opposite of white privilege. all the white people get twitter worthy nicknames.he white people end up looking ridiculous, and this is the key ingredient. none of the black people end up dead which is different from the videos features eric gardener, philando cass teal and so many more. people thought recording videos would lead to justice, but we found out it doesn't. cops and people acting like cops get away with murdering black people all the time. in these new videos, people are getting involved. >> did you seriously just call the police on a child? >> fewer bystanders, more up standers. in many cases the cops don't have to get involved, and sometimes it's just to comfort the snow flakes. it'll be okay, becky. while the stuff in these videos might be new for some of you white folks, my people have been talking about this since that famous boat ride. so, white folks, i'm inviting you to the conversation. please don't bring your potato salad with the raisins in it. if we're talking racism, we can do this in any city in the united states. but one place is named t

in the white house. end of quote. similarly, miss conway stated this week, quote, it is not even clear to us at the white house according to the white house counsel that the hatch act applies to assistants of the president, end of quote. let me make this abundantly clear. the hatch act absolutely applies to miss conway. period. it is written in black and white. we are the committee on jurisdiction over this law. and neither congress nor the courts have ever suggested that a president's adviser is exempt. finally, i want to address the white house's baseless arguments for refusing our request for miss conway's testimony here today. they sent a letter to the committee monday arguing that miss conway is, quote, absolutely immune, end of quote, from testifying. a claim that this principle has been, quote, consistently adhered to by administrations of both political parties. end of quote. ladies and gentlemen, this is simply not true. congress has never accepted the claim that white house advisers are absolut

not as a white person i'm way out of my comfort zone but. i don't agree with their separatist message in armed patrols but i don't feel any hatred from black to throne but to start suggest to be clear those those views hate against whites and tyson anti-semitism you don't identify with that no no no we're different organization we want a different leadership we're not a hate group we don't hate anybody our actions show we don't hate anybody so how do you feel about that how do you want to live separate do you think will i totally out of my mind that you think we can all get along. i hope that we can get along you know especially if white people are going to come around to the. idea of reparations and and you know trying to make a more fair and equal society because if this doesn't change at some point it's not going to be pretty it's going good bad to a point where we begin to some point to race wars when we end up breaking up and just a point that was thought to get to now is give me hope because nothing is change and hopefully you see that

kerner: i believe the white house couple. ms. plaskett: and the white house couple is appointed by whom? the president has allowed this individual to continue to violate the law by doing this. let's not get caught up in this ambiguity and let's come together to fix this because it's not clear. if she was not clear and you would give her an opportunity to discuss what this ambiguity and has not followed that advice. mr. kerner: she has not. >> in the letter she has given. congress passed the hatch act and senior advisories were involved in campaign activities and secure tg television introduce news that platform to engage in attacks against political opponents. the communication they are us using via television, twitter, they are communicating. and since i'm not -- i do not have the hatch act to do whatever i want, what is going on is a hot mess? mr. cummings: the gentlelady's ime has expired. mr. higgins: another oversight hearing, another attack on the president's administration. my colleagues say no one is above the law. the pr

that white people have made.look, i look at it this way. i'm a white man. i've got a lot of privilege in the room. for some people, especially down here in the south, and we have to think about it in terms of how can we use that privilege to show and to literally put our money where our mouth is? if people are saying that they want to fix racism, if they're wanting to fix this issue in our country then they need to put their money where their mouth is, and that comes in the form of reparations. >> interesting. well, how do you do that? because when you say the term "privileged" there are a lot of people who take offense to that and say what are you talking about? that does not exist. >> just because you say something doesn't exist doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. that's part of, you know, a lot of people do this. i think i look at this from a religious standpoint as well. we can ask forgiveness all we want. in fact, the united states government has asked for forgiveness or at least apologized time and time aga

in the white house. these include multiple white house counsels, the deputy counsel to the president, and associate counsel to the president, a deputy assistant to the president, and the director of the white house office of security. in the case of mgs conway, the white house's argue mingtments have even less merit. we're not asking about any conversations she had with the president. and we're not asking about any advice she gave to the president. here we have a clear-cut case of a federal employee violating federal law over and over and over again. we have video of that same federal employee mocking the law itself and claiming it does not apply to her. and we have the white house asserting that congress may not question this employee. may not investigate her repeated violations and may not conduct oversight relating to the legislation that we on this ommittee pass. this is the opposite of accountability much it's contrary to our fundamental system of laws -- accountability. it's contrary to our fundame

i hear from many of my white friends, white brothers and sisters this question. what do black people want? haven't we done. enough? what do they want? i want to turn the question around? what do you want? what kind of america do you want to live in? if you're happy with the state of race relations now, don't do anything on this issue. but if you want to reconcile the nation let's get this commission and let's entertain those proposals. >> thank you very much reverend. before i recognize our next witness i want to recognize a member of congress who is here. representative wilson from florida. we appreciate your attendance. our next will is dr. julian malvo. she's a noted author and frequent media commentator. she wrote a weekly comment for more than a decade. she hosted a television radio program and appeared on cnn, fox news, misn-c-span, our favorite station and others. she also served as the 15th president of bennett college, received her ph.d. in economics from m.i.t. and. bachelors and masters degree from boston college. >> thank you so much for this opportun

>> we have had conversations with the white house and we obviously tried to work with the white house in order to make sure the hatch act is complied with so our hope is we will continue to be able to get the white house to agree to comply with the hatch act prohibitions. ofcn june 13, 2019, released another report that found that miss conway broke the law dozens of times. you recommended to the president that he fire her. and i am sure that was not a decision you took lightly. why did you recommend that the president fire miss conway? because that is a pretty steep penalty, would you agree? >> yes, sir. it is the harshest penalty and a civil case like this. we did not take it lightly. it was based on folks who prepared the report. it is consistent with precedent and based on the fact that we have never had a repeat offender, never had anyone we have had to write two reports to the president to. we never had a situation where there were so many violations, and that ultimately, she made a comment that seems to suggest she did not go she was bound by the hatch act so there was no in fed

white supremacy and white nationalism are allowed to grow unchecked. they remain understandpoint estimated by law enforcement and unnamed in the mtd because we as a society are not able to properly identify them or are just too scared to say them aloud. the falsehood of white again ds preinnovates i was petition share a fear of the supremacy of white in the u.s. just as easily heard on the evening cable news a as seen on fliers defacing college kfrpzs across the country. in radical and racist idea is now the animating principal of many in our elected leadership anded guiding light of the current administration. we have seen in idea become mainstreams for three reasons. one in the mid-198077% of the u.s. population was white. it's roughly now 60%. in 30 years it will be under 50%. this kind of change creates an existential anxiety that after being fed a steady media dooit of xenophobia and fear turns to hate. two, the briton is a highly effective tool for spreading propaganda and indon trination. it would be impossible to overstate the sheer volume of m

if you're in the white house.current president and hopefully that's not what the message future presidents send but i think one of the points walter made is really important. i worked in an agency as well during my time in government and the vast majority of federal employees don't even have posters of candidates they support, whether they're democrats or republicans. they give no indication of that because it's not appropriate and that's not how you conduct yourself in federal service because you're serving the american people. there's only a handful, a very small number of even white house employees that can engage in political activity. this is sending the message that doesn't matter anymore and we don't have to abide by that and that kind of goes into this divisive theme we've seen from this white house that you only are governing a small population of the people in this country, that's to your political advantage and not the whole country. and that's a huge problem, obviously. >> walter shaub, jen psaki, than

pressure from the white house? >> i think generally the people that want this to be over with and weekend it up. richard burr has stood up to that and is acting honorably as he should. >> you believe he has explained his role in the mueller report when he mentioned telling the white house about sensitive information that he as a so-called member of the gang has received. >> i talked about that. i think he was communicating to the white house, the witnesses they wanted to call and what our committee -- what witnesses we were after. incidentally he may have mentioned that information. i don't think it was a serious breach on his part, and i've seen no evidence of his cooperating or to accuse another word colluding with the white house on this investigation. >> the chairman of the house committee is threatened to s&p the fbi director to get specific answers on whether the counterintelligence investigation that's going on by the house intelligence committee into president trump is still active. do you know if it's stil

in the white house. these include multiple white house councils, the deputy counsel to the president and associate councils to the president. a deputy assistant to the president and the director of the white house office of security. ms. conway, the white house's arguments have even less merit. we are not asking about any conversations she had with the president. anyre not asking about advice she gave to the president. here, we have a clear cut case of a federal employee violating federal law over and over and over again. we have video of that same federal employee mocking the law itself and claiming it does not apply to her. we have the white this is the opposite of accountability. our system of to laws in this country. above the law. not even ms. conway. for these reasons, we will hear from our ranking member. special counsel kerner's opening statement. we will pause so members can vote on a subpoena to compel her appearance later today. i will yield to the ranking member. >> the report is outrageous.

he was willing to accept the white line but not under oath in front of the judge. -- the white lie but not under oath in front of the judge. doesn't that suggest pretext? ag davis: the issue as it reads from the record is that the juror who lied on a questionnaire admitted she lied for the purpose of getting off the jury. jus. sotomayor: if that were the case, i don't think one to take one juror and not push them on those questionnaires and come up to an intentional understatement or overstatement. ag davis: again, your honor, that was -- that is the issue is that each one of these strikes, we don't have one single reason. jus. roberts: let's look at them, but you do have history. uses peripheries, strikes all five. trial two, as much as possible, uses all five, strikes all five blacks. trial number three, 17 black possible. uses only 15 this time. he ran out of peremptory's and only had 15. fourth trial, 16 black, only struck 11. maybe only had 11 peremptories. now we come to this trial. i don't think it will take much. let's look at one black juror, one white one potentially. let's c

he lied all over the white house essentially about them and then got canned. a judge said that he wanted to see the transcripts of these conversations that michael flynn was having with the former russian ambassador sergey kisly kislyak. the justice department in their latest filings essentially just didn't turn them over. now the judge is saying he's fine with that. he doesn't need to see the transcripts. that's all we've seen publicly. it seems like there's more going on behind the scenes here. there may be some sealed filings from the justice department explaining why they don't want to hand those transcripts over, wolf. >> and sarah, tell us why new york state prosecutors want to move the former trump campaign chairman paul manafort who's serving seven and a half year prison sentence at a minimum security federal prison in western pennsylvania and move him to the notorious rikers island prison. >> he's also facing state charges in new york. if prosecutors get their way, they want to move him to rikers potentially to appear in court for his initial appearan

in one scene, the president flops down on the white house floor to take a nap. neutral,very bland, and fatigue lincoln who was portrayed. i think that image of lincoln in this. reflected the reluctance on the part of many white americans to the president with substantial power. precisely because lincoln in these years had to be safe. he had to be moderate and someone who could heal the ones of sectional division. in this way, lincoln was being called on to play a part that he had been playing since the end of the 19th century when the story of the civil war was often told as a tale of for journal division that gateway to brotherly reunification. that was an idea that was most vividly imagined in the idea of white soldiers from opposing sides shaking hands across a bloody chasm or across the stone -- gettysburgburg angle. the idea of reconciliation seemed to be about to more or less equal sections coming together. not really about a nation or about lincoln and posing power on its subjects. especially those who came from a rebellious section of the country. had li

from white lies to whoppers.d out of ignorance, laziness, recklessness, expediency, or opportunity. trump's capacity for lying isn't the surprise here, though the frequency is. it's the tolerance so many americans have for it. there was a time when even a single lie, a phony college degree, a bogus work history, would doom a politician's career. not so for trump who claimed in 2017 he lost the popular vote because millions of people voted illegally. they didn't. in 2018 he said north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. it is. in 2019 he said windmills cause cancer. they don't. just last week he claimed the media fabricated unfavorable results from his campaign's internal polling. it didn't." the editorial goes on from there in detail. trump has diminished our standing in the world. he reneges on deals, attacks allies and embraces enemies. the nation must endure another 1 1/2 year of trump but it needn't suffer another four beyond that. we can do better. we have to do better. the "orlando sentinel" is a paper th

pete, the white house did not want her to do this. the person who had the title that hope hicks had was dan bart let in our white house. i think if we were a witness in any sort of investigation, if the president had done anything wrong, it would be devastating, whether or not she remains loyal to the president, simply as a fact witness to donald trump's conduct in office, which robert mueller said was criminal, is a devastating development for this white house. >> i agree with it. i think they're not happy and probably fearful. it's important historically to remember alexander butterfield when he revealed that the white house had tapes. archibald cox did not reveal that, it was during the is goin to happen and all of us involved in politics know it is never a straight line trajectory as john was saying earlier, events, dear boy, the british prime minister, events dear boy. you don't know what is going to happen. with the trump presidency and donald trump himself one thing you can be pretty sure of is if you lift up the rock there is

most white houses abide by it.ay, i mean she is not just using -- playing into politics, she is kind of attacking and obviously engaging in efforts to go after president trump's opponents. that's exactly what you're not supposed to do. that's why the law is in place. >> water, what happens now? because kellyanne conway isn't going to jail. she is not losing her job. is she allowed to just keep on making comments like this? >> well, she wasn't allowed to do what she did and she did it anyway, so she will probably continue and she probably won't be fired. i think one good thing that has come out of this is it truly exposes the level of lawlessness in this administration. you have got career federal employees who in this administration have been fired for hatch act violations. one of them was even barred from working for the government for another five years. but it seems that in the trump administration the higher the level the official, the less the rule of law applies to them. so at least now we have clarity that t

hope hicks, the former white house communications director and andy donaldson, the former deputy white house counsel. the white house has directed both of them not to turn over the documents requested by the committee about their time in the trump white house. notably, hicks, though, she may still hand over documents related to her time in the 2016 trump campaign for presidential election. that's something that chairman nadler today in his response really highlighted, said likely, because it's not covered by executive privilege, and nadler here saying that that shows some good faith effort on her part there. nadler was asked, if they don't comply with the requests, will he hold them in contempt of congress? he says, i assume so, but, of course, both of them have also been subpoenaed to appear before the committee later this month. wolf? >> sunlen serfaty up on capitol hill, thank. also tonight, christopher steele, the former british spy behind that controversial russia dossier has agreed to speak to justice department investigators about his work with the fbi. this according to the bri
