senator whitehouse, welcome back to "meet the press." >> thanks. good to be on with you. >> i want to start with -- i know you were limited in your investigation because you're the judiciary committee and this was about the actions of the department of justice. so how complete of a picture do you think you have of what president trump did, and what more would you like to know? >> we have a very complete picture of the extent to which trump was personally involved in this. this is a question in which you can actually connect the president of the united states to the scheme. the second thing that we know is it focused very heavily on georgia. so that relates and feathers into the georgia prosecution that's under way -- i should say the investigation that's under way down in fulton county. those two things link up. what we don't know is who was really behind this. the text of the transcript and the body english of the witnesses suggests they had very little regard for this character jeffrey clark who was going to be the new attorney general. they doub

. >> now, the senate judiciary committee, you saw sheldon whitehouse talking to rachel. he's a member of that committee. they tried to get clark to sit down for a voluntary interview with him over the summer, but he did not respond. according to politico, he has yet to field questions from congressional investigators, scrutinizing trump's final weeks in office. his lawyer declined to comment on the subpoena. betsy woodruff swan reported for politico, broke the news of jeffrey rosen's testimony today, and she joins me now. it was not necessarily unanticipated but still a big deal, and this is a very big central figure in this entire thing, and i think someone who's going to not be cavalier about violating subpoenas if i had to guess? >> the january 6th story is very much in terms of this particular episode a tale of two jeffs. we know a ton about jeff rosen's perspective, he's actually been unusually forthcoming regarding just about everything he knows from his time running the justice department through a historically chaotic moment. i know based on conversations with fo

senator whitehouse just raised the prospect that mr.een sort of intellectually up to the task, that he was trying to pull off, here that he might have been put up to, it that it was an area of law he didn't know anything about, that he may have been essentially a vessel for other people who were trying to use him, and his position, to get this done. does that resonate at all with what you have reported thus far in the story? >> you've certainly get that sense if you read the transcripts, from former acting attorney jeffrey rosen, and his deputy rich donahue. you get the sense that they were always wondering, is there somebody behind jeff clark. they would have these conversations with him, and then come back wondering, who who is helping him, in these efforts. where these legal theories coming from? certainly that is the sense you get. >> wow. in terms of what is likely to happen next, year am also struck katie, by the fact that there seems to be pretty good documentation of how senior justice department officials, did try to help trump

bar because of what the committee discovered about him, senator whitehouse said mr. clark might not have been sort of intellectually up to the task he was trying to pull off here. he might have been put up to it. this was an area of law he didn't know anything about. he may have been essentially a vessel for other people who were trying to use him and his position to get this done. does that resonate at all with what you have reported thus far in this story? >> you certainly get that sense if you read the transcripts from former acting attorney jeff rosen and his deputy. you get the sense they were always wondering, is there somebody behind jeff clark? they would have these conversations with him and then come back wondering, who is helping him in these efforts? where are these legal theories coming from? that's a sense you get. >> wow. in terms of what is likely to happen next here, i'm struck by the fact that there seems to be good documentation of how seen -- senior officials tried to help trump. william barr not only personally telling u.s. attorneys to make it t

here's senator sheldon whitehouse, what he had to say to our chuck todd this morning. >> we have a veryplete picture of the extent to which trump was personally involved in this. this is a question in which you can actually connects the president of the united states to the scheme. there's just a lot left to be learned and particularly as the old saw goes, follow the money. who is paying for this stuff and how does it all work. >> and the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection are trying to get answers to all of those questions and why they want the four ex-trump advisors in the room to answer what the former president knew, did and said on january 6th and want to hear from steve bannon specifically because he was credited with organizing the stop the steal rally that took place on january 6th and if they defy their subpoenas we heard what may happen. they've been very clear, members of the house select committee, they will pursue criminal contempt of congress for those who defy their subpoenas. alex. >> thank you, julie tsirkin for that setup. i'm joined righ

as senator whitehouse said, as the subpoena indicates he's definitely a person of interest who we thinkant for this investigation. >> there's a question now about the what happens next on the bannon situation which is the vote came out. there's a referral to the department of justice. what is your expectation about the timeline here in. >> we didn't waste any time after the timeline ran out on the subpoena, within a week we voted. the vote happened yesterday and the speaker confirmed that. that was taken over to the department of justice within hours and we expect that to move forward quickly. we're not messing around here. this is not the previous administration. with this investigation into the violent acts of january 6th, to stall the election result, this is important. we're not going to allow people to defy the subpoenas from congress. it's essential that we get information from them and i fully expect that the justice department will evaluate all the facts in the case and i'm hopeful they will move with speed in acting on the criminal contempt referral we have sent to them. >> the

and too many people are dissatisfied because what they're seeing seems plodding. >> senator whitehouse got at a critical question. not just going after the people who literally invaded the capitol building. this went far beyond the insurrection we saw on capitol hill. this was an effort to overturn a presidential election and to seize power. so winslow made three points. i think the first two are very good. the third one on closed hearings, as you know, you have a good investigation is a lot of work behind closed doors before the public hearing commences. a lot of discovery, a lot of gathering of facts. this committee is going to have to have major primetime hearings, televised hearings in primetime by next summer. and there is a real deadline on all of this. and that's the midterm elections. because you don't know if republicans will take over congress in november of 2022. if they do, this committee goes away. this committee, and they're keenly aware of that deadline. and i think that there's a lot of fair criticism of what has taken so long to get to the point we are now. but they ne

and senator whitehouse made a really interesting, point that stuck with me. in my interview with him, a couple nights ago, he pointed out to us, that since jeff clark left the trump administration, since he left the justice department, he had landed his new job was a place that the senator called a dark money shop. i place called a new several liberties alliance. what this group is, is that right wing advocacy group that does things like bring lawsuits against vaccine requirements, bring lawsuits against that gun safety's, it's a right-wing organization that does have opaque funding. and that brings lawsuits, that's a sort of right-wing causes. in july of this year, that group in fact put out a big bold price relief, bragging and chest pounding terms, that they had snag this guy jeff clark. am sale leah hires former assistant general jeff clark, to join battle against law unlawful administrative power. , wow it's, going to be joining the power, you've got that guy a. you put up his picture on the website, under the headline, our team and leadership. to free b

number two i need your reaction to this exchange from, sheldon whitehouse democrat of rhode island with the attorney general today we'll talk about this exchange on the other side. >> please tell me it does not been constrained only to people the capital. >> investigation is being conducted by the prosecutors in the u.s. attorneys officer, and the fbi field office. we have not constrained them in anyway. >> great. and the old doctrine of follow the money, which is a well-established to principle of prosecution. 11? well >> it's fair to say that all investigative of which you're familiar and some may be that you're not familiar with because they posted your time are all being pursued in this matter. >> so counselor what do you make? what is your take away from that exchange? there >> i think it's that two people are doing their job the way that it's supposed to be done, but senator asking the way that it's supposed to be done can the attorney general is not essentially answering the question. and that is actually i think something, brian, we should actually be celebrating. we lived throu

senator sheldon whitehouse. thank you so much. >> thank you, chris. >>> another big day in court for donald trump's foot soldiers including this guy caught on camera allegedly assaulting michael fanone and stealing his badge, which was eventually recovered, after being buried in his backyard. today, a judge said that man could be released from jail. you won't believe why. that's next. n't believe why. that's next. ♪girl, i don't know, i don't know,♪ ♪i don't know why i can't get♪ applebee's. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. i thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... ...me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there for her. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for people with crohn's disease. humira helps people achieve remission that can last. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and som

. >> senator whitehouse? >> thank you, welcome miss monaco and good to have you back on the committee again. >> thank you, sir. >> we had another exceptionally brave and powerful witness with allegations of sexual assault on this committee for the olympic athletes and that was dr. christine ford. in response to that testimony, the republicans hired a prosecutor to punch holes in her testimony. when that failed, it appears that the fbi yanked the background investigation. for starters, is there any reason that sexual assault allegations should be taken less seriously in the context of a background investigation then in the context of a criminal investigation? >> sexual assault allegations should always be taken seriously, sir. >> let me thank you for the trickle of information that has begun to flow about the fbi's conduct in that matter. as you know, director ray maintained a complete stonewall on information about that investigation during the trump administration while at the same time, maintaining a fast l

senator whitehouse joined with me on that as the co-authors. and we also passed additional legislation to give more money directly to the states. and we found that we were again making progress. and then the pandemic hit. unfortunately we now know from the latest data from the centers for disease control, the c.d.c., that under the cover of this pandemic, the drug epidemic has not only not gone away, it's actually gotten much worse. overdose deaths rose by nearly 30% between march, 2020, and march, 2021, the latest year for which we have data. 30% increase in overdose deaths. this is very discouraging and heart breaking, really, because that means much more devastation for our communities, families being broken apart, people not being able to achieve their god-given ability in life. thousands more being lost. 96,779 more individuals, moms and dads, sons and daughters, friends and loved ones, lost their lives to overdose deaths during that yearlong period, the most recent year that we have data for. it's the worst year we have had in the history

so this is another reason no, but whitehouse is acknowledge this. they say that look at, there may be some concerns, but that will stop the conversations in order to achieve the goal of financial transparency. so that's one key issue. the other comes down to security and given geography and the fact that kenya is position so close to ethiopia, and the concerns about the war and factions of the 2 great region. the u. s. present expect to also discuss that as well. with the canyon president. how the leader can work in his government can work to try and resolve that conflict. we also know the us precedent has it through executive order readied possible sanctions, but not yet implemented them. for me, us president bill clinton has been hospitalized in california with a suspected blood infection. clinton spokesmen says he's on demand and in good spirits, doctors treating the 75 year old with antibiotics. they say he's responding well. george's opposition has been rallying in the capital against the imprisonment of former president mikhail successfully. t

you can quickly lift up energy production level when the wind stops blowing when it start. whitehouse has admitted its teaming up with the you to stop china from getting access to high tech know how the u. s. commerce chief made the revelation at a top trans atlantic tech trade summit. we have to work with our european allies to deny china the most advanced technology so that they can't catch up in critical areas. now i have to talk to gina ryan mando, branded brussels in dispensable partner. the meeting also focused on artificial intelligence, climate solutions, and development of 6 g networks. but it has not gone as smoothly as those u. s. comments suggest with france among others, opposing a statement about for some of the goals. paris is still bristling over the new august pact which is between the u. s. u. k. and australia, which saw camber, a scrap, a $40000000000.00 submarine deal with france, called august a stab in the back raising fears about the future of the western alliance. political go expert in china told us that europe simply can't trust washington. you're looking rea

and we're going to be centered some more the by the end of the year. whitehouse correspond, can the health care is following developments from washington dc. we know that the can you president did campaign against corruption? he is one of the high profile leaders that has been mentioned in those pandora papers that investigation that revealed that there are a number of world leaders as well as celebrities and the others who have significant amounts of money invested off shore. and the reason this is of concern is not just because of the corruption or anti corruption campaigning that a rou kenyatta did, but as well. 1 the fact that to kenya is one of the largest recipients of usa, the 5th largest, in fact, from the united states. so this is another reason. now the white house is acknowledged this. they say that look at, there may be some concerns, but that won't stop the conversations in order to achieve the goal of financial transparency. so that's one key issue. the other comes down to security and that given geography and the fact that kenya is position so close to ethiopia, and the conc

without it, the countries treasury would not be authorized to pay its bills in less than $2.00 weeks. whitehouse says it's a positive step forward and we'll give the country some breathing room. this is only a reprieve until december. for my u. s. special envoy for haiti has described the deteriorating security situation in puerto prince, saying massacres and kidnaps for ransom. and now part of everyday life, daniel foot has been briefing the house of foreign affairs committee after resigning from his position in september of the treatment, haitian haitian migrants at the southern border. thousands were deported without being given a chance to claim asylum. a decision foot called in humane and counterproductive. deportation back to haiti is not the answer right now. i am not saying that intending my roots who are illegal, status shouldn't be deported. but haiti is too dangerous. our own diplomats cannot leave our compounds and board branch without armed guard at the port asian in the short term is not going to make a more stable. in fact, it's going to make it worse as kilometer. and a gallagher

of the delayed treadmill press. secretary is accused of downplaying, scandal that has prompted whitehouse to consider sending in the national guard at the national guard may be sent in to help off load containers to deliver, you know, consumer goods. but the thing is, we're also like seeing, you know, wrapping up prices, jumping prices of gasoline, energy a food prices where they're not, we get food shortages. we'll see. right. inflation has been a problem for many years. but the administration used a ball faced lie too high, the fact they could actually use the term deflation to refer to inflation. and then prices got out of control and you can't hide or any more. they said it was transitory. that's a lie, as we said on the show, it's now structural and systemic, and secular, it's going to be with us for a number of years. i also said that the language would become obtuse and there would be much pretzel logic, as i called it, to describe all the contortions or they would use verbal contortions to try to get people to either deflect away from the fact that there's this runaway inflation o

well that's future whitehouse correspond. kimberly how could she's on the ground for us in rome? so kimberly is even saying the g 20 is wrapping up as those cup climate talks kickoff and glasgow. and the communique though from the g 20 includes the desire to limit global warming, but that seems rather empty ambition, given the lack of concrete timelines with ng some of the feedback already on this communique, less that ambitious and failing to meet the moment there were high hopes for the statements coming out of the g 20 because many believe that it could set the tone for what would take place in glasgow at the you and climate 7. so that's why there is so much disappointment that there is a real failure in this communicate to reach carbon neutrality by a firm date. instead, what it says is that there will be a carbon neutrality by or about the mid century. and people say here in rome, but that is simply not enough that the risk of catastrophe due to global warming is great and greater with every day. and so there is a lot of disappointment. now what we know is that there was har

>> sheldon whitehouse a real character.t know what game you are playing let alone what the score is. for mitch mcconnell and senate republicans this is an opportunity to do this over and over and over again, right? the only thing better than highlighting the incompetence of that your democratic counterparts is putting it on a reoccurring schedule which is what they've done here. they kicked what appears to be into december if they come up with the agreement today. so we'll do it all over again. my sense is that republicans would be happy to highlight the continued spending, taxing, prolific spending and taxing of the biden administration from now until election day if they could. >> dana: interesting. it leads into what bill will talk about, the polls. that very issue of spending is one of the reasons that independents have a 62% disapproval. >> that's right. look, democrats have taken a real bath on almost every issue. leading the way post afghanistan is their plans for the 3 1/2 trillion tax and spend bill. it is deeply u

. >> sheldon whitehouse, perhaps hoping to earn the gratitude of a grateful nation, mitch mcconnell,statesman, said he will not block a debt extension until december. it's tentative. new poll shows president biden's approval rating continues to drop as his agenda remains stalled. he's hit all-time new low, 38% of those questioned saying they approve of the job he's doing. we'll talk about this and other matters with two friends of the broadcast. eugene robinson, pulitzer prize winning columnist for "washington post" and tim miller, contributor to the bullwork. 13 days in may, bobby kennedy said you went eye-to-eye with the soviets and they blinked. schumer/mcconnell less than that, is this a victory to the democrats and a thank you to mitch mcconnell? >> somewhat less fraught but fraught, global economic collapse if the u.s. defaulted on his debt and yes, mitch mcconnell blinked, no question about it. chalk it up as a victory for the democrats. they get, yes, only a few weeks, maybe a couple of months of extension of the debt ceiling but politics will be exactly the same when this co

. >> senator whitehouse. >> thank you, welcome attorney general garland. two topics. the first is executive privilege. we've been through a rather bleak period with regard to executive privilege. i think you would call it the anything goes period in which any assertion of executive privilege no matter how fanciful or preposterous was essentially allowed to stand in very significant departure from the law that has been out there for years regarding executive privilege. and at the same time that the substance of executive privilege was being expanded beyond recognition, the procedure for evaluating executive procedure determinations was completely ignored and this is the procedure that was established by president reagan's white house. so we now have a situation in which there is very substantial destruction and disarray in the area of executive privilege determinations. and as you know, under the reagan memo, the department of justice had a roll kind of as an arbiter to be the honest broker between whatever executive agency was objecting and whatever congressional comm

just a couple of nights ago we had rhode island senator sheldon whitehouse here as a guest. he's on the judiciary chit kmit tee in the senate that turned up evidence of what jeff clark and trump had done, the committee that referred jeff clark to the bar association for potential disciplinary action as a lawyer once they found what he had done. the senator made an interesting point that stuck with me. in my interview with him he pointed out to us that since jeff clark left the trump administration, he left the justice department, his new job was a place the senator called a dark money shop, a place he called the new civil liberties alliance. what this group is is a right wing advocacy group that does things like bring lawsuits against vaccine requirements and lawsuits against gun safety laws and stuff. a right wing organization that does have opaque funding. and that brings lawsuits that serve right wing causes. in july of this year that group, in fact, put out a big, bold press release bragging and kind of chest pounding terms that they had snagged this guy jeff clark. ncla

host: taking a look at another moment from yesterday's hearing, the questioning from sheldon whitehouse on the investigation being conducted by the fbi. [video clip] >> i've been pursuing this since early days, starting with a letter on january 8 and the resources being deployed into the investigation and whether a task force, prosecution task force was being set up and so forth and another letter from the 24th with regards to domestic extremist violence groups, their potential role. we have learned a little bit more now, learned that there was a lot of money sloshing around in the background behind the january 6 rally and behind the raid, the riot in the capital. for instance, we know that the bradley foundation, a big funder , gave money to turning point usa and to public interest legal foundation. it gets even more interesting, turning point usa has a twin called turning point action. a 501(c)(3) 501(c) four combo that got money from the judicial crisis network to support the so-called italy gate, the debunked italy gate theory. at the same time, the public interest legal foundation

whitehouse: mr. president, i have 11 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. the presiding officer: duly noted. mr. whitehouse: mr. president, i rise today to discuss again the scheme by right-wing donor interests to capture and control our supreme court, just like big industries have captured and controlled regulatory agencies through history. in these speeches, i've covered the origins, motivations, and central players in the scheme. and today i'm here to respond to a little bit of counterprogramming from the scheme. so obviously job one, if you have captured an agency, is to pretend it's not captured; it's still legit. well, on thursday, the minority leader, senator mcconnell, one of the principal operatives of the court hispanic -- of the court-capture scheme, traveled to the heritage foundation, one of the central dark money groups in the court-capture scheme, to toast justice clarence thomas, one of the m
