and so that means william barr knew. did william barr tell the president? the times reports that matt gaetz certainly did not tell anyone in the white house that by the way i believe i am under investigation for sex trafficking. >> but his associates were being questioned about his behavior, including underaged girls at the time he asked for it and if the associates told matt they had been approached and talked to by investigators. i'm going to go and take a shower. >> as we are going to show later in the hour, and you don't have to watch it. you dealt with it enough tonight. matt gaetz was doing that trump thing, which is if you do it in public it can't be a crime, right. matt gaetz was saying on fox president trump should pardon everyone. he was just saying, you know, he should pardon himself. donald trump should pardon himself he was saying. by the way, he was saying it on november 24th, which is odd. it is the type of thing that you say when you know that the trump presidency is all over, and at the same time fox was covering the ongoing trump re-electi

we know this investigation began under william barr. is there any reporting that william barr might have communicated to the white house, to the president, the then president donald trump, about the investigation of this ally of his in congress? >> no. i have no evidence of that. in regards to barr, the investigation was opened under barr, and barr allowed it to move forward and gave essentially the approval for it to move forward. in most justice departments, that would not be a significant thing. in the way donald trump politicized investigations, it does make it notable in this case. but there's no evidence -- there is evidence that bar allowed this investigation to move forward and would essentially have had to sign off on it because it was a special sort of person, a designee being a national politician in the justice department's eyes. >> we do, also, have reporting, it might have been politico, that barr took steps to make sure he was physically distanced from gaetz and not appearing with him publicly. glenn, i want to ask you ab

and so that means william barr knew. did william barr tell the president? did anyone in the white house know? the "times" reports that matt gaetz certainly didn't tell anyone in the white house that, oh, by the way, i believe i'm under investigation for sex trafficking. >> but his associates were being questioned about his behavior, including with underage girls at the time that he asked for it, so if those associates told matt that they had been approached and talked to by investigators, then -- i'm going to go take a shower. yuck. >> rachel, as we're going to show later in this hour, and you don't have to watch it, you've dealt with this enough already tonight, matt gaetz was doing that trump thing, which is if you do it in public, it can't be a crime, right? matt gaetz was saying on fox, president trump should pardon everyone, and he was just saying, you know -- he should pardon himself, donald trump should pardon himself, he was saying. by the way, he was saying this on november 24th, which is odd, because it's the kind of thing you say when you know th

and he named william barr. he said that bill barr was in full knowledge of what was happening in terms of this attempt to sort of concoct a fake scandal related to joe biden. he named joe digenova, dick vic toensing and so i wonder if any of them should be concerned about this investigation, right up to donald trump? >> well, i'll start off and say rudy giuliani has said publicly that he couldn't have committed it because his ultimate client was the former president. if it was to be proved that he was only doing this for the former president, that would not be a foreign agent registration act problem because his client would be an american, not a foreigner. but i suspect that a reason that a judge signed this search warrant is because there is at least probable cause to believe that rudy giuliani had foreign clients in ukraine, possibly elsewhere, that he was acting for. and if that's the case, then i think that people like donald trump and many other people in the administration who met with rudy giuliani are

. >> you mentioned william barr. we had in the previous administration a -- basically an attorney general who set things up for trump to have a personal lawyer. it seems like barr wasn't just working as trump's lawyer, but he was working as a campaign manager as well. >> we had established an intake process in the filed -- field so that anything coming in by ukraine could be carefully scrutinized by the department. that's true for all the information that comes to the department relating to the ukraine including anything mr. giuliani might provide. >> congressman, after hearing that from william barr, if the information from ukraine was primarily being used for campaign purposes, shouldn't mr. barr also be under investigation, because he would have been part of the smear campaign. >> i don't know if he should be under investigation, but it's certainly clear if you look at the poll record, that 2015 poll between donald trump and the president of ukraine, he says, talk to rudy giuliani and talk to bill barr. he implica

i knew they were going to do to you and shepard smith from fox news, that william barr, tucker carlsen and president trump pushed him to retire. now he's got a job with whoever. anywhere -- anyway, what they did to you was because the 12 months you have primetime 8:00 p.m., you took their slot. that is when they run out of the end. they did everything -- savannah guthrie -- thank you for coming back. we missed you. [inaudible] i moved here four years ago, so i asked myself, why is that they always ask me if i am a republican? they go by the zip code. anyway, i am so happy it is you. all of them anchor people, they are jealous of you. that is right. thank you and have a nice weekend. host: sophia from the bronx in new york. francesca chambers is joining us. a busy week in washington. let's begin with some action on capitol hill and at the white house. a meeting the president is going to have with members of congress, democrats and republicans. give us details, who will be at the table and what is on the agenda in terms of the issue of bipartisanship? guest: it is truly in for structure

barr, are you including donald trump? >> it's a really interesting question, joy, because we don't know what the charges are yet. for instance, if you look at the parnas and furman indictment, they're charged with bad election contributions, straw donors and foreign donors. could this be part of that? is it part of giuliani's conduct in ukraine trying to dig up dirt on biden? it's not really clear what the full scope of this is yet. it feels it's sort of failure to register when you're representing a foreign country. some people could be witnesses. they could be suspects. they could even end up being targets of prosecution. it's premature to say at this point, but there's an awful lot of smoke around the president's foreign lawyer. >> lawyers, right? his whole team. this is pretty incredible. what a news day today. michael schmidt, thank you very much for being here. joyce vance, thank you so much. up next on "the reid out." that was the pre-big story. president biden is going to deliver his address to a joint session of

at the time attorney general william barr was in office and l swasakenree to move f the. sohereve thriffeges, the top arf >> what do you make to have the. fact he was appearing to be willing to take a plea deal which would require him spending ten years behind bars? >> that's a great catch, i think he was willing to plead because i think he and his attorneys who would have been counseling him throughout the process believed that he would likely be convicted given the overwhelming video and medical expert evidence that annuation heavily against him. so now the top charge is second degree unintentional murder, which in lay peoples' terms is sort of a felony murder -- you have to engage in an underlying felony, which in this instance is third-degree assault, and n the state's closing -- and i know attorney general blackwell will focus in on this -- is t ny to convict on second degree felony murder have happened and occurred in this case, and it's leaning heavily towards a conviction. >> alexis stand by for just a second. checking back with jamie yuccas outside the courouse.t

politico flushed out details about trump attorney william barr who was reportedly briefed multiple times on the federal sex trafficking investigation into mr. gaetz part of the reason he was briefed on it a lot is because he was very concerned for himself. he didn't want to scaccidentally end up at an event where mr. gaetz might be reporting today at least one publicly announced meeting between then attorney bill barr got called off he pulled out after he said publicly that he would go do it. the reason is because congressman gaetz rsvp'd he would attend and so mr. barr decided not to attend. as for the scope of the investigation, abc news is reporting today that investigation includes allegations that he had a sexual relationship with, quote, at least one minor, at least one underaged person but maybe more than one abc is also reporting the investigation is looking at not just the congressman's alleged conduct in florida and his alleged conduct in other states as well. congressman matt gaetz has denied any sexual relationship with anyone underage and has continued to the claim that his

barr. cnn is reporting tonight that the federal criminal investigation into matt gaetz is examining, among other things, whether gaetz may have used not just money but drugs in his dealing with young women. investigators are examining whether gaetz engaged in a relationship with a woman who she was 17, and whether his involvement with other women broke federal trafficking and prostitution laws. cnn saying -- we haven't confirmed this, but cnn saying investigators are looking into whether he used drugs in addition to cash in his dealings with young women. that is new. >>> as we reported that night the house leader kevin mccarthy has confirmed that if and when congressman matt gaetz is indicted, they will relieve him of his congressional responsibilities. presumably they'll move to expel him from congress if he's convicted, unless he quits first. but we shall see. that's still happening. congressman gaetz has consistently been among the most prominent proponents of the craziest pro-trump stuf

attorney general william barr was aware of it. he did not object. but it was actually part of a larger investigation into another florida politician, joe gr greenberg. "the new york times" reports that greenberg was advertising online for women for sex. and "the new york times" reports that it has reviewed receipts showing payments from gaetz to greenberg, then to some of these women who told their friends, according to "the new york times," that this money was for sex. now gaetz's office has responded. in a statement saying, matt gaetz has never paid for sex. matt gaetz refutes all the disgusting allegations completely. matt gaetz has never even been on any such websites whatsoever. over the past few days, as these allegations have become public, gaetz has tried to conflate this sex crimes investigation with a separate alleged extortion effort of his family. now in speaking to sources, we have learned that these 24 completely separate matters. >> great reporting. thanks so much. lauren fox, you have new reporting, which is another level of this sto

former attorney general william barr said they found no evidence of it. the idea of suggesting that it's getting ahead of the curve and being proactive when you're aware of the reasons why this has been prompted, you've got to perhaps placate those who are believing president trump's statements about the big lie and then you have these notions about democrats who have voted in droves. but remember who has been the great beneficiary in a place like florida, vote by mail, republicans. is this a self-licking wound on the horizon? and why would you do it. again, is it going to be about the idea that it was the pandemic that led them to vote this way or that they wanted to participate in a free and fair democracy. >> we'll see if it's a problem that exists or it's then causing a problem. >>> this morning we have learned when considering for teens, the fda will be able to skip the lengthy process of authorizing vaccines for adults. this is about authorizing vaccines for kid s 12 to 15 yeas old. we're going to find out much more hopefully soon about this. joinin

barr is part of the deep state. he's trying to use the trump template. but even the former president doesn't seem terribly impressed. the only thing that former president trump has said, yeah, he didn't ask me for a pardon and denied the allegations. that's a tepid response. that's a weak defense. if he doesn't get the former president's backing, it's unclear how long republicans will continue to support him because most of their support appears to be based on the fact that they don't want to alienate that section of the party that really has tied its fortunes to the former president. this week is going to be really telling as we see if more lawmakers come out and apply pressure for him to just step aside. >> the strategy from gaetz seems to be just tweet through it, fund raise through it. but reality may set in soon. paula reed, thanks, again, for joining us. >>> coming up next, a middle schoolers surviving the turbulent bussing of the 1970s, to the first black mayor of boston. the story coming up next. to gelato m

barr. cnn is reporting tonight and this is not confirmed by nbc news, but the investigation i'm going to matt gaetz is examining, among other things, whether gaetz may have used not just money, but drugs in his dealing with young women. cnn says investigators are examining where gaetz engaged in a relationship with a woman that began when she was 17, and whether his involved with other young women broke federal sex trafficking and prostitution laws. again, this is per cnn. we have not confirmed this. cnn saying that investigators are looking at whether he used drugs in addition to cash in his dealings with young women, that is new. as we reported last night, the house republican leader, kevin mccarthy, has now confirmed after initially saying otherwise, he's now confirmed that if and when congressman matt gaetz is indicted, republicans in the house will remove him from all his committee assignments and otherwise relieve him of his congressional responsibilities. presumably they'll move to e

barr and that barr allowed the invest to move forward. most justice departments under most presidencies that is not a significant of a member of the same party investigated but with donald trump there were enormous questions in the presidency whether he was meddling in the justice department's work, whether justice was something that was blind that followed the facts or something that donald trump wanted. there were certainly many curious examples under bill barr. matte gaetz was a closest ally if not the greatest ally on capitol hill. embracing donald trump's most out landish claims about a range of things and supporting the president no matter what. it was matt gaetz that went out to campaign against representative cheney after she voted to impeach donald trump. so gaetz being one of the most loyal things, now this is an investigation that started under barr that is still going today and will be in the lap of merrick garland some point here. >> donald trump has remained 100% silent on this thus far. thank you for the reporting. >>> base

as far as the status, politico flushed out the detail of trump attorney william barr. he was reportedly briefed not once but multiple times on the federal sex trafficking investigation into congressman gaetz. politico reporting part of the reason barr was briefed on it a lot is because he was very concerned for himself. he didn't want to accidentally end up at an event where congressman gaetz might be while this investigation into congressman gaetz was ongoing. politico announced one publicly announced meeting between bill barr and the judiciary committee got called off, pulled off it of he said publicly he would go do it and the reason he pulled out of it was because congressman gaetzrsvp'd he would attend. as for the scope of the investigation into the congressman, abc news is reporting tonight that -- reporting today that the investigation includes allegations that he had a sexual relationship with, quote, at least one minor. at least one underage person but maybe more than one. abc is also reporting the investigation is looking not just at theth to the congressman'

you know, glenn, you had the story that william barr, who protected every friend of trump, went along with this investigation. and not only that, went out of his way to make sure he was never in the same room so that he would never be pictured with matt gaetz. that is not a good sign. just as you've seen this very strange story with him and his friend who's now got 33 indictments on him, how much trouble do you think matt gaetz is in? >> so, first of all, what we know is that's confirmed, because we've heard a lot about what sounds like the world's worst pr campaign from matt gaetz. he's throwing extortion plots and iranian hostage rescue schemes and really it's like the pr campaign from hell, none of which sounds like extortion, by the way. but here's the thing. what we know is confirmed is that he is the subject of a doj criminal investigation into child sex trafficking. the reason we know that's confirmed is because matt gaetz himself told "the new york times" that prosecutors from the department of justice told my lawyers i am a subject of that investigation. now, being a subject

the trump administration under jeff sessions and william barr both thought they did more harm than good and were disruptive to the police. clearly, under this president, they have gone back to the practice used by members of both parties in the past, that these do more good than harm and are good not only for the police department but also for the community. a different set of things they will look at than in minneapolis. there are overlaps. they will look at whether there's unreasonable force. that's the same as in minneapolis. including in protests. same thing there. but then this is a little different. looking at whether louisville police engage in a discriminatory practice of pulling people over, driving while black in essence, unreasonable -- unconstitutional stops, searches and seizures and search warrants on private homes. it was during the application of a such warrant that that botched operation ended up in her death and was one of the leading components of the black lives matter protest. also on the question of unlawful discrimination based on race and handicapped people, he s

former attorney general william barr officially closed that case in december after officials concluded the video footage of the shooting was too grainy to be conclusive. what will the justice department do with the mother of 12-year-old tamir rice's request? >> hard to know because, nicole, in order to make a federal case, you usually have to tie it to a civil rights violation showing he was killed or targeted based on race, in his case. i don't know precisely why the barr justice department closed the case but i know you know this from having worked in one presidential administration. so many of these decisions are made at the career level by career prosecutors and career federal agents. i don't know the particulars because i'm on the outside trying to look in. i'm not on the inside. these are hard cases for the feds to make. there is no sort of all encompassing, over arching federal murder statute. murder statutes are the province of the states. i don't blame the grieving mother to ask the justice department the look at something anew but these are very difficult cases to make. >> re
