jeff rosen who ran the office in the final day of the trump presidency, he was deposed on wednesday. is there any intel on what he provided or at least expectations of what he might have addressed? we know that he battled trump's efforts to co-op the doj. >> he did. when i was the house impeachment manager in the second impeachment trial, i presented to the senate and i talked about mr. rosen, and he actually did stand up, and he actually did help hold our democracy together, so i'm sure he had a lot to tell the january 6th committee. >> let's talk about another trump official from the doj, jeffrey clark. he's been subpoenaed. now, he was a trump loyalist who, according to rosen told rosen that trump was going to oust him from the top job and replace him with clark. why would donald trump have wanted to do that? >> so yeah, so jeffrey clark is exactly the opposite of mr. rosen. he wanted to burn down our democracy. he was going to do everything he could to keep the former president in office, even though trump lost. and i think jeffrey clark has a lot to answer for. i hope that he do

robert, jeff rosen is behind closed doors for eight solid hours. i reckon we will someday get to read the transcript with any secrets blacked out. what do you reckon a guy like that can tell a committee like this? >> he can detail how the department of justice interacted with the states that were maybe in some republican circles trying to think about having an alternate slate of electors. he can give granular detail to the effort inside the department of justice in the final days of the trump administration. and democrats on capitol hill have to answer the question ahead of 2024, what are the stakes? what will they do? i just keep thinking about a scene in our book where jim clyburn says, behind the scenes, privately, democracy is on fire. and democrats have to break the filibuster, he says to colleagues, even if joe manchin and others don't want to do it to pursue stricter laws to help all voters have access to the polls. and as rosen and perhaps clark testified, it's not about the past. it's about the future. if someone is in control of the depar

meaning attorney general, rosen and i put him in, meaning jeff clark. what do you do? i said sir i would resign immediately. and then he turned to steve angle, and said steve you would not resign would? you and steve said absolutely i would mister president. you leave me no choice. and i said, well, steve's not the only one's, or all of your assistance attorney general will resign. you should count on, that they are going to resign. in these are your people. these are not bureaucrats left over from another administration, these are your handpicked people, your leadership in the department. this is the team you sent to the senate, you've got, confirmed they're all going to walk away. on you. all at once. what does that say about you as a leader? what does that say about the department of what's going on here. and you should not think it will end, there because i don't have any idea with the u.s. attorneys will do. the u.s. returnees may resign and mass. you may have other department personnel are designed, you can have a situation here within 24 hours where you have hun

jeff rosen. jeffrey clark said that trump told him rosen was going to be fired and clark was going to take over as acting attorney general. this was in the context of clark moving forward trump's efforts to overturn the election. it is extremely important to know what clark knows and level of detail he has about the election overturned effort. the other thing interesting about clark is most of the lawyers around trump in his final days who were pushing this effort to reverse the election outcome were not government employees. rudy giuliani could not get a job in the trump administration. john eastman did not have a trump administration job. this is the end of the trump administration and only trump's most on-board bitter loyalists were still working for him and in the category of people, clark was the only senior trump administration lawyer that we know of who was actively pushing to spread conspiracy theories to these other states. the white house counsel was against it. jeff rosen. was against

if jeff rosen told the house committee the same things that he told the senate judiciary committee about jeffrey clark, then jeffrey clark is living in fear of criminal charges tonight of attempted election fraud and conspiracy to commit election fraud. joining our discussion, jill wine-banks former assistant prosecutor and matt miller former spokesman for attorney general eric holder. i want to begin with this key question that i think has left a lot of us confused. why were you so effective in getting compliance to subpoenas against president nixon and his administration during the watergate investigation and the democrats in congress have been so ineffective in relative terms in pursuit of the same kind of subpoenas against team trump? >> it's really a very simple answer. because president nixon, despite his crimes and despite all the wrong that he did, actually believed in our system of laws and government. and when confronted with a supreme court decision, he agreed to comply. so he never tried to stop people. he did try to claim executive privilege, but the supreme court said, no,

ryan: santa clara district attorney jeff rosen says the charges will be taken very seriously. in the arraignment the judge denied a request from o'connor's attorney to postpone the case and is being held in santa clara jail without bond. >> we filed a motion for the court to set no bail in this case in order to protect the victims, the community, and to secure the defendant's appearance for trial. ryan: we reached out for an interview with o'connor and she declined. the d.a.'s office believes an early motive for o'connor's actions is sexual gratification and use social media to lure minors to her home and give them alcohol, condoms and private rooms to commit sexual acts. that sometimes were not consensual. >> one of the crimes that we have charged involves committing the crime for samuel grat of indication so we can say that -- samuel gratification so we can say that's one of the motives in this case. reporter: the district attorney did say there is a separate set of complaints about an embezzlement issue with her that could be tied to this case but the district attorney says

the question was whether he should remove jeffrey rosen and put in jeff clark. there was some discussion about the letter to georgia. at that point it was difficult to separate the issue of the letter, and jeff clark being in the leadership position because it was very clear. he stated it repeatedly that if president trump made jeff clark the acting attorney general, jeff clark would send that letter on behalf of the justice department. so it wasn't a third option where he would become the attorney general and the letter would not go. they were sort of one in the same at that point. he said, quote, essentially everyone in the room, jeff clark was advocating for jeff clark to become attorney general. everyone else was adamantly opposed to the president taking that step. he said, we went around the room telling the president why he wii thought it was a terrible idea. the president said, what do i have to lose? what do i lose if i put jeff clark in at this point. i said, sir, you stand to lose a great amount. there was discussion whether jeff clark was qualified to

>> 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 their first priority to investigate some of these claims, but telling the fbi to interview specific witnesses. the attorney general, the deputy attorney general getting involved personally t try to push this out. is that seen as a problem in the justice department going forward? >> i think that there are calls by former justice department employees and current employees that one of the reasons to do a full review of what happened in the justice department during the trump era is

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 folks throughout the day that one of the key focuses now for the january 6th select committee, one thing that they really pressed rosen on when he was testifying was clark's role. lots of questions about who clark was working with, whether he was working with people in the justice department as well as who he was working with outside the justice department. questions about the way clark was connected to strategies to try to get the supreme court to step in and overturn the election, as well, of course, as lots of questions regarding this effort to tell the state legislators falsely that the fbi had found meaningful evidence of voter fraud so the state legislators would try to step in. clark is the key next figure for the select committee to talk to. what's interesting about him is that several months ago, trump actually green lit clark's test

rosen and made jeff clark the acting attorney general. the senate judiciary committee's democratic staff report says at some point during the meeting deputy attorney general richard dawn hue and assistant attorney general steven engel made clear that all the assistant attorneys general would resign if trump replaced rosen with clark. they also recalled white house counsel pat cipollone and deputy council patrick fillben pushing back against the proposal calling clark's letter a murder-suicide pact. and the two white house lawyers indicating that they would also resign. despite being informed early on that the clark course of action would prompt mass resignations. and even though every participant in the meeting except clark advocated strongly against that course of action, trump continued for some time to entertain the idea of installing clark in rosen's plays. and so donald trump who tlaut his life has been a cowardly man, got scared. he was afraid of many or most of the 90 u.s. attorneys and hundreds of assistant u.s. attorneys and doze

it speaks for itself in terms of what witnesses said including jeff rosen, who according to the report was threatened he would be fired and replaced by someone in the civil division without that expertise which was behind this notion of using the justice department in a way not traditional. it would be a violation of the hatch act to use the power of the federal government to win elections. that is plainly a crime under federal law. secondly, as chuck grassley himself, the irony himself, is 88 years old, has decided to run again for the senate in iowa -- after the january 6 insurrection, he declined to vote to remove donald trump from office. if you recall, the rationale then was not that this was not a problem, it was that it does not make sense in terms of timing because he is no longer in office so we cannot technically remove someone not in office. even republicans did not argue then that his actions were not impeachable. chuck grassley said he lost. it is clear donald trump lost. i'm paraphrasing but that he bullied election officials across the country in that process. that is an

rosen with jeff clark. tried to install jeff clark himself as attorney general, so the clark plan would go ahead. again, to have the justice department declare serious fraud in the election and to direct states to therefore not send their biden electors. it was absolutely insane. it was also a rational plan, that they didn't just spit ball about. they didn't just fantasize about it. they drafted the letter to the states. he did insist on the press conference to other justice department officials. the justice department officials even tried to on-board u.s. attorneys, federal prosecutors in the relevant states to back them up on these spurious fraud claims they were going to use to keep trump in power even though he lost the election. just saying this, right. like i said, news on this front has been absolutely terrible as we learned of all of the things they tried. but in today's news a little glimmer with the news that jeff clark has apparently finally agreed to testify to the committee that is investigatin

robert costa, jeff rosen is behind closed doors for eight solid hours, i reckon we will someday get to read the transcript, with any secrets blacked out. but what do you reckon a guy like that can tell a committee like this? >> he can detail how the department of justice interacted with the states, the states that were maybe in some republican circles, trying to think about having an alternate set of electors, bringing four different cases of voter fraud, he can give grainy will detail to the effort inside the department of justice, in the final days, of the trump administration, democrats on capitol hill have to answer the question ahead of 2024, what are the stakes, what will they do, i just keep thinking about a scene in our book, where jim clyburn, the house majority whip says, behind the scenes privately, democracy, is on fire. and democrats have to break the filibuster, he says to colleagues, even if joe manchin in west virginia senator and others don't want to, do it to pursue stricter laws to help all voters have access to the polls. that's the level of alarm, at least virgin c

rosen, startling testimony we know he has to give. privilege that would have stood in if way waived by the biden administration and the same as you mentioned in the open with documents, they are getting a ton of information and ingredient in that is not just the carrot but the stick. this bannon contempt however long it may take, it will bring other witnesses to step forward. it's a good move. >> gloria, i want to show you the video again that we just got. it does remind people of the horrible stakes of what is at stake and what happened of these people assaulting officer fanone. he pulled out his badge and that they he had a heart attack and ptsd and brain injury. steve bannon was the one saying all hell was going to lose tomorrow. he was not hide ning in the cor of facebook and not known by the fbi. he was saying this. it's clear he does not want to cooperate. >> right, i spoke with a source and they're thinking this. steve bannon is an unsympathetic figure, he's low-hanging fruit. he's the person at least claimed to have executive

the former acting attorney general jeff rosen confirm that president trump desperately wanted a loyalist who believes his lies about the election to run the justice department and essentially overturn the election. trump only backed down at the very last minute when a whole bunch of people said they would renew en masse, including his white house counsel, and the mass exodus that would likely ensue is what finally convinced trump to back down. since that time, though, the former president's lies have metastasized in the gop. testimony as part of an investigation into that sham audit of arizona's election results as the country looks at similar ways to curry favor with trump and essentially undermine free and fair elections. >> this is without a doubt the biggest threat to our democracy in my lifetime. if elected officials continue to choose party over truth, then these procedures are going to continue on, these privately funded government-backed attacks on legitimate elections. as a republican who believes in democracy, i dreamed of one day going to a nation that was trying to build a de

rosen met with the committee for eight hours today. there is a lot that he could tell them in eight hours. remember, this is the acting a.g. who refused to sign the letter clark wrote pushing the bogus claim of voting irregularities in georgia. that is happening as the white house tonight is rejecting the latest request from the former president to assert executive privilege and keep the committee from seeing some documents that it requested, trying to assert executive privilege even though he is no longer the executive. he still is in his mind but he's not. a big couple of days ahead for that committee. kash patel, steve bannon scheduled for depositions tomorrow. mark meadows friday. patel and meadows are reportedly engaging with the committee but only recently served bannon won't be providing documents until they reach an agreement with the former president over executive privilege or a court weighs in. bannon was not a government official. the former guy is not the executive anymore. drag it on through the courts. but the latest thr

rosen. jeffrey clark was a key player in the election results. in at least nine calls or meetings, president trump directly raised claims of election fraud for doj to investigate. mark meadows, asked acting a.j. rosen to launch a fraud investigation. assistant a.g. clark attempted to recruit rose on the back his scheme on the georgia process in exchange for clark turning down trump's request. his allies inexuding scott perry of pennsylvania participated in the doj pressure campaign. lastly, the doj deviated from its longstanding policy of investigating election fraud claims after certification to avoid politicizing the department. based on the report, the committee may suggest criminal prosecutions. meanwhile republicans issued their own findings based on the same testimony and concluded that the former president was concerned about electionic integrity in general and followed the advice of doj officials. former president trump is instructing his former aides and allies not to comply with su

the former acting attorney general jeff rosen. and former president trump trying to block the release of documents from the national archives and the clock here is ticking. laura jarrett is with us on this story. laura, what are you expecting to see today? >> guys, the big question this morning is whether anyone shows up. house investigators end up sitting in a room alone. the committee scheduled two depositions for today and two for friday. up first, kash patel. he was trump's defense secretary and is engaging with the january 6th committee. but no word whether he will actually turn up on the hill today. and then former trump adviser steve bannon. he is stonewalling the committee on documents and already said he will be a no-show today. in a statement last night, bannon's attorney said his client isn't participating because trump told him not to, citing executive privilege. bannon, you'll recall, was fired back in 2017, so he wasn't even part of the executive branch on january 6th, making any assertions of privilege about his tal

rosen, and made geoff clark the acting attorney general. the senate judiciary committees democratic staff reports says, at some point during the, meeting deputy attorney general, richard donahue, and assistant attorney general steven angle, made clear that all of the assistant attorneys general would resign if trump replaced rosen with clark. donahue added that the mass resignations, would not end there, and that u.s. attorneys, and other doj officials, might also resign on. they also recalled white house counsel -- deputy counsel patrick philbin, pushing back against the proposal to replace rosen with, clark calling clark splitter a murder suicide pact. in the two white house lawyers indicating that they would also resign. despite being informed early on, that the clark course of action would prompt mass resignations, and even though, every participant in the meeting except clark, advocated strongly against that course of action, trump continued for some time, to entertain the idea, of installing clark in rosen's place. in so donald trump,

rosen removed so that trump could have the justice department saying they thought there was fraud. the backup plan was violence. that's the backup plan. can you imagine sitting around in a room and saying, okay, well, if pence doesn't come through and pence is saying it was just another january day now, if pence doesn't come through, we have this backup plan because we have all these people coming to washington. the other surprise is that $50,000 bill goes to the willard hotel and not the trump hotel. trump was so crazed by this time, here's a guy who wanted the g-7 at the doral. he didn't want to have his war room. he was so crazed and possessed he didn't have the war room at the trump hotel. >> it's an interesting point for those of us who are connoisseurs of trump's dealings who had no bounds. i'm sure the committee will look at the chain of how things were planned and booked and whether that itself was a kind of admission of a certain potential culpability. margaret, you also mentioned how some republicans are still running from this. they both don't want to alienate which is a

rosen, wouldn't sign on to it. when rosen wouldn't sign off on it, when you allow this plot to go forward. trump then tried to replace rosen with jeffrey clark. try to install geoff clark himself as attorney general, so the clark plan would go ahead. again, to have the doj declares here is fraud in the election, and to direct states to there for now to send their biden electors, it was absolutely insane. it was also a rational plan. they didn't just fall about it, they didn't just fantasize about it, they drafted the letters to the states, he didn't insist on the press conference, justice department officials even tried to on board u.s. attorneys, federal prosecutors in the role living in states, tobacco up on the spear's fraud claims they were going to use, to keep trump in power even though he lost the election. news on this front has been absolutely terrible, as we've learned from all the things that they've tried. but it today, a little glimmer with the news that jeff clark has apparently finally agreed to test

rosen. the report says then assistant ag jeffrey clark was a key player in the effort to subvert election results -- >> yeah, a key player in sedition against the united states of america and the constitution of the united states of america. >> it also makes the following key findings. in at least nine calls or meetings president trump directly raised discredited claims of election fraud for doj to investigate. white house chief of staff mark meadows asked ag rosen to launch a fraud investigation based on a conspiracy theory about election data -- >> so meadows has this italian man thing. he says some italian dude fixed our elections. i don't know. is it jewish lasers from the west coast? am i mixing qanon conspiracy theories? it's amazing. and assistant ag clark tried to recruit rosen in georgia's certification process in exchange for clark turning down the president's offer to install him as attorney general. >> also trump allies including republican congressman scott perry of pennsylvania

rosen's testimony. jeffrey clark has been subpoenaed. we though about what jeffrey clark said and did in terms of how it impacted mr. rosen. we know there was an attempt for clark the replays rosen. they walked in and threatened to quit along with members of the counsel's office. we don't know specificity how vast the conversations were between mr. trump and clark. >> i think it is hard for people who don't work in the justice department to understand how egregious clark's behavior was. he was out on his own conducting sort of investigations into alleged voter fraud, both of which he has no jurisdiction over and without his superiors knowing he was doing it. he was talking directly with the white house w the president, which he's not allowed to do under department of justice rules. and he was talking with at least one republican member of congress, which he's also not allowed to do under justice department rules. he was violating multiple justice department policies in an attempt to overturn the election. to your point, we only know the
