in donald trump's lawsuit against his niece, mary trump, donald trump accuses mary trump and others three times, of using burner phones. today, white house communications director kit bedingfield made it clear that president biden, who is the only person in the world who can claim executive privilege in the january six investigation, will not be claiming executive privilege, for ivanka trump or jared kushner. >> the president has spoken to the fact that january 6th was one of the darkest days in our country's history, and we must have a full accounting of what happened, to ensure that it never occurs again. and, he's been quite clear that they posed a unique threat to our democracy, and at the constitutional protections of executive privilege, should not be used to shield from congress or the public, information about an attack on the constitution itself. so, as a result, the white house has decided not to assert executive privilege over the testimony of jared kushner and ivanka trump. >> joining our discussion, now ej dion i comments from washington post, he's a co-author the new book 10

than trump. so in some ways that, you know the success of the trump movement could be even could be more extreme but also more competent than the than the original and and you dig into one of the anecdotes in your book that that teal is is well known for which is this whole kogan lawsuit that drove gawker out of business and that he was secretly bankrolling and until it emerged that he was can you talk a little bit about you know, what that means for for press freedom, really and and what what god him behind hulk hogan in the first but yeah, i mean, i always feel weird a little weird talking about this because of course there there are journalists under just you know, a lot more stress and and who are really putting their lives on the line. i mean even right now and ukraine, but but what teal did is he bankrolled this lawsuit that whole kogue in the wrestler? who's real name is terry bella and it was a it's very toddry it he was a sex tape that gawker published and hogan sued gawker for invasion

the links of trump and trump-ism is clear. in order to lead biden has to pretend we are a better democracy than we currently are. >> eddie, in addition to georgia, black voters are having their vote suppressed, they fear how difficult to have their vote suppressed. there is also texas where voters are being disenfranchised. some 23,000 mail-in ballots were tossed out, almost all of them from failing to meet the voter i.d. requirements. i feel it is being ignored and only partly because of ukraine. >> well, it has a lot to do with the difficulty around passing the john lewis voting bill and the other voting bill with sinema and manchin and not having a way forward. and then voters may not be satisfied with judge brown-jackson. maybe the constituency will be satisfied. it seems to me that he had the perfect opportunity to join -- in some ways to have another campaign. remember the naacp campaign's campaign. he had an opportunity to talk about defending democracy abroad and at home. but instead he slipped into that worry, that ji

they're at trump levels. wouldn't you want to focus on that rather than this weird baing shot that may or may not work? what is the politics there? >> desantis is thinking about 2024. >> for him, i get it. what about for the rest of the party? >> yeah, my guess is mitch mcconnell would like to basically play four corners here. he likes his hand the way it is. that's always dangerous, by the way. so yeah, i think if you are a republican running who is an incumbent in a tough seat or state or you're a challenger, i think this is one of the challenges for democrats. we have learned through the trump years, this brand of republican party, with just a few exceptions, mitt romney akagally, liz cheney, they're not going to stand up for their leaders. this is where the party is going, and it's pretty clear they are, this is what you're going to get, no matter what an individual candidate says. yeah, i think you have to turn the republican party writ large as an unacceptable alternative to give any more control to. th
