city departments. for clarity, i would like to differentiate mou's from internal to external. internal mou's include the department which are called inter departmental service agreements that may include additional documents that are covered under the comptroller's office for procedures and there is the internal agreement that involves non-city department, there are no mou's but could involve staff time and no internal mou's are brought before this commission. >> in regards to incoming funding, i would like to differentiate those between budgeted and unfunded. budgeted reviews are reviewed by this normal process. unbudgeted, and unanticipated funds are funds that were not included in the formal budget approval process. the city does have policies in place for approving the budget and funding. and awards in excess of $100,000 must be approved by the board of supervisors for the department to be able to utilize. now i will focus more on outgoing money. >> incoming funding agreement the commission often h

justice department? >> reporter: what we're told is that the former president and his legal team have not yet reached a decision on how to respond to this motion filed by the justice department to unseal this warrant. of course, the government notes in their notion that they favor unsealing it, absent the objection of the former president. so he does have until 3:00 p.m. tomorrow for the justice department to talk to his legal team and come to a conclusion on where they stand on this. so what the justice department did today with that statement, that brief statement from attorney general garland, is put the ball in trump's court. for him to make this decision whether or not they are going to unseal this warrant and let the public see what was included in it that led up to that unprecedented search on his residence on monday. or they could object to it, and try to fight it and lay out why they don't think this information should become public. that would come several days after the former president and hi

department, single story. constructed in 1924, it is a potential historic resource. the permit is to construct a new accessory dwelling unit on the ground floor, repair existing decks and stairs at the rear and replace windows at the front and back of the property. no expansion is proposed. the appellant is the neighbor to the east, the concern is about excavation associated with the extension and the enlargement of the building. as previously mentioned, there is no expansion of the building. in 2015, when it was originally filed, there was an expansion proposed. the appellant did file a dr and it was heard by the planning commission in 2018 and the planning commission voted 5-0 and requested this be reduced by 15 feet. this was approved by the planning department january 24, 2019 and the permit was never issued. in 2022, when the owner was interested in reducing the scope, the planning department worked with the homeowner on the permit application and revise the plan. and the dwelling unit on the first and se

department of justice mr. chairman, how does the ability to protect the federal judiciary into protect high level officials to go after organized crime and violent crime and to coordinate the robust protections of our nations electoral process and find it necessary having hard this commentary from our colleagues today, to remind my colleagues of what happened in georgia. limits donald trump's endless barrage of lies, some of them amplified by members of the under this body, as he sought to hold onto power by any means necessary and republicans election officials in georgia, or morning that it constituted a threat to the lives of election workers, the house committee heard a couple of weeks ago from two election workers in georgia who describe threats of lynchings that they received for doing their jobs to carry out free and fair elections in this country. i am astounded mr. chairman, that her colleagues on the senate judiciary committee have decided with the opportunity to hear from two senior officials about

let's just turn to the key here, which is that the department got approval from the d. c. chief judge barrel howl, to reveal some grand jury information, and they do. they also go ahead and -- >> i don't know what that means. >> so, good to interrupt me. grand jury material is protected by a rule, that the government is not usually allowed to share grand jury material. for instance, a grand jury subpoena is not something that the government can usually go ahead and reveal. well, it is attached, here, so this filing to help explain the timeline, and what it is that donald trump received, when it is that he was told, he legally had to produce. and they got permission from the chief judge in washington d. c., to do that and one of the ways they say they could do that is say, look, this is been revealed by donald trump's counsel already, so we should be able to reveal it, and she agreed. so it helps fill in the timeline, which is that a grand jury subpoena in may, was given to the former president. why is that relevant? because, what then happened, and it's really clear from t

second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken. third, let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the fbi and justice department agents and prosecutors. i will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. the men and women of the fbi and the justice department are dedicated, patriotic public servants. every day they protect the american people from violent crime, terrorism, and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights. they do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves. i am honored to work alongside them. this is all i can say right now. more information will be made available in the appropriate way and at the appropriate time. thank you. >> attorney general, before -- >> excuse me. thank you all for your questions. but as i said, this is all i can say at this time. >> so i just got handed the motion to

we begin with david spunt at the justice department. david? >> i was in the room when merrick garland made those comments, history-making comment to see an attorney general talk about a search warrant that he authorized, the final person to sign off on the search warrant of a former president of the united states. i want to play some of what the attorney general said. listen. >> first, i personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken. >> charles, for days attorney general garland and fbi districter christopher wray have been under scrutiny for not coming out and speaking about this. attorney general merrick garland did today. he spoke a little under five minutes here at main justice headquarters. what he did, charles, he put the ball back in the hands of the former president's legal team. now the department

justice department. he continued to lead the office that prosecutes unregistered foreign agents. and that role he became the first official to oversee all foreign influence operations across the u.s. justice department. brandon van grack left the justice department but boy there nobody who i'd rather talk to tonight about what's going on in our country with these remarkable and unprecedented charges and investigations involving our former president. brandon van grack joins us here live in studio next. grack joins live istn udio next. my grandma never mentioned this, but her first job was working at a five and dime, when she was only 16 years old. it's all right there in the census. see where a few details can lead with the 1950 census on ancestry. lily! welcome to our third bark-ery. oh, i can tell business is going through the “woof”. but seriously we need a reliable way to help keep everyone connected from wherever we go. well at at&t we'll help you find the right wireless plan for you. so, you can

that's the department wide. but that's separate from of course of the vacancies on top of that, so again, certainly there's going to be an expected level of attrition every year. the vacancy number is, that we have currently is much higher than of course that expected level of staff turn over you would experience on normal years. >> okay. the next question, when we move -- when the department of public works was going to start using our own hr department, it's not going to be through the city hr, is that budget going to move with it or did we -- did the department of public works actually pay for that service in the past and now we're paying our own or how is that working? >> yes, we have paid for that in the past through a work order, indepartmental service that we paid to the city administrator's office. comparison purposes, about $6.8 million was budgeted in prior years, now, this year given of course, there's transition, there's staff that we we would need to hire in hr and there's ten staff members, ten fd'

between the department. this is how we started high level and how we saw different ways of being this look at and why we made the recommendation we did. contracts, you just heard from alex about it a little bit. and over the next four to six weeks we're going to try and make contract machines out of you. as i think commissioner simi alluded to, this is a dense and complex topic and we're going to try and educate you and arm you with all the information necessary so you feel both comfortable and confident approving contracts and delegating some approvals to the department. so, when the staff department formed on october 1st, it will not have the authority to approve its own contract awards or modifications because you have that authority. so, the public works commission assumes responsibility for contract approvals on september 1st although there are no operations, contracts or otherwise in the queue that would go to the public works commission at that time. so, through the end of august, the city administrat

>> yes, the city for some mainly like enterprise departments and few general fund departments are fixed 2 year budget where you go thru the budget process once every 2 years and barring some large thresholds for changes or things like that but otherwise you dont need to go through every year and the 2 year budget holds you over. we evaluate every year for the next 2 years so called a rolling process so every budget we go through every year and we take a look what our needs are going to be over the next 2 years and work through that budget process and that budget is for 2 years and sets up a baseline for the second year, but that isn't set in stone because you are reevaluateing again the next year. every year you take a look at the next 2 years. obviously only one will be practically implemented because that is the first year and if you redo the process in the next year you look at the next 2 years. to your question about going forward, i are think what we have right now establishes the baseline what we are looking at. we are obviously have needs, everybody knows that so the baseline is

and that is what the justice department did in this brief. as elliott points out, they talk about obstruction. these documents were moved around, from room to room. and they focus, they actually show us the certification. i don't think we've seen it before, the certification for trump's lawyers that said, hey, there were no more documents, no more classified documents left here, in response to a subpoena. they gave a red wall of documents back, and it turned out, in a certified, then that's it, that's all the response of documents that we have. and it turned out there were no documents anywhere other than in that storage room. turns out there's documents in his office, there are documents all over the place. and tons of them, i mean, they have -- this factual recitation has him dead to rights. there is no question about it. and it explains a lot today about what we were seeing donald trump, true thing out on his social media platform that's failing. he was basically just freaking out all day, and the reason is this evidence. this evidence sho

district were on patrol in a marked department vehicle. officer number one is a officer in the field training program while officer number two is his field training officer. the two officers observed a subject pushing a red bicycle while riding a blue bicycle on the sidewalk. officer number two recalled the recent crime alert regarding a stolen bicycle from the area. crime alerts are bulletins dissiminated to san francisco police department members by investigative units to provide information regarding recent crimes. officer number one, the passenger in the patrol vehicle advised department of emergency management dispatch they were in the area of south van ness and 16 street where they saw a 917 which is supicious person riding a blue bicycle with a red bicycle in his hand. the two officers attempted to contact the subject later identified as jose (inaudible) ibin the area of shotwell and 18th street. body worn camera footage for both officer number one and officer number two began while they were driving eastbound on 18th street and the

justice department. he's left government service. he started his justice department career as a trial attorney in the national security division, and he prosecuted cases on cyberattacks and money laundering, and theft of trade secrets. and, yes, espionage. a spy for china out of michigan, a guy who was in running the high tech sanctions on iran. a hacker from kosovo, who provided material support to isis, specifically, he gave isis personal information on more than 1300 u.s. government and military personnel. he gave isis that kill list, effectively, of u.s. government and military personnel, brandon van grack helped prosecute him. after robert mueller, special counsel, appointed mr. van grack as a prosecutor on his team to investigate the trump campaign's ties to russia around the 2016 election, van grack spent nearly three years investigating and prosecuting trump allies, michael flynn and paul manafort. interestingly, mr. van grack ultimately resigned from the flynn case, after a william barr appointe

the justice department -- department argues that appointing a special master will harm the intelligence communities review of material seized from mar-a-lago. and, we asked cnn national security analyst for her take on this. >> the national security complications are huge because what it shows, this is just one picture, is that mar-a-lago essentially was sort of an open book to anyone who is willing to come in in those documents are not secure -- not simply for anyone randomly passing by. but of course, for foreign intelligence agents or foreigners who might have interest in it. >> well, joining me now from washington, former u.s. federal prosecutor and host of the podcast, that's said with michael zeldin, it's michael zeldin himself. good to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. so, just a short time ago, the department of justice filed its 40 page response opposing donald trump's plea for a special master's to review that classified information, those documents seized from his mar-a-lago home. the doj essentially saying, that review has already been done. so, it will be unnecessa

that was this department's founding purpose and it remains our urgent mission. attorney general clark? >> since the founding of our nation, the bill of rights to the united states constitution has guaranteed that all people have a right to be secure in their home. free from false warrants, unreasonable searches and the use of unjustifiable and excessive force by the police. breonna taylor should have awakened in her home as usual on the morning of march 13, 2020. tragically, she did not. she was just 26 years old. as attorney general garland just stated today, indictments allege that louisville police detective joshua james and sergeant kyle meany drafted and approved what they knew was a false affidavit to support a search warrant for ms. taylor's home. that false affidavit set in motion events that led to ms. taylor's death, when other lmpd officers executed that warrant. the fourth amendment of the constitution ensures that people are subject to searches only when there is probable cause supporting a search warrant. falsified warrants create unnecessary have

report from chief of department jeanine nicholson on current issues and activees in the department since the last meeting on july 27, 2022 including budget, academy, special events, communications and outreach to other government agencies and the public. report from operations deputy chief robert postel on overall field operations emergency medical services and bureau of fire prevention and investigation, training within the department and the airport division and report from administration deputy chief tom o'connor on the administrative division fleet and facilities status and updates finance support services and homeland security. >> may i begin? thank you from the feinstein again. chief jeanine nicholson and this is my report since our -- since last month's meeting. i building i missed the last meeting so yesterday was a busy day for our members. you may have seen in the news and i want to thank all members that respond to both incidents and really just -- they really just worked hard and did a great job and the chief can answer questions about the mccallister fire if you have any and

do large departments here large city departments have their own separate it departments? thank you. >> commissioner segal, great question. so, let me start with it first because i think it is easier. there is a centralized department of technology within the city and county of san francisco and they provide services that are more backbone related around infrastructure city wide. each department has their own it department and may provide more specialized service for that unique department. when i was at the airport the it department was dealing with systems specifically related to the airport. public works the it department is specifically dealing with systems and network that are specifically unique to public works. also, every department in the it has a service desk component. your cell phone breaks your computer breaks, you forget your passward, something along those lines so it is both. there is both centralized it and every department has their own it section. it is similar to human resources as well. (inaudible) set policy, guideliness plays a critical role in those

employees if the department nor is that first priority recommendations -- department ignores that first priority recommendation you talked about? >> people will not see the eeo process as independent. we heard that when we talked to employees, when we talked to eeo personnel and folks working on the process. there are strong concerns that there needs to be more independence for the eo process because the person in charge of hr is also in charge of discipline and defending the department. so, if there are concerns that person is going to not take the eeo complaint seriously because they want to defend that apartment instead of pursuing the eo complaint, there is a real challenge. i am also concerned that the department has changed its mind several times on whether it concurs with this recommendation. i am heartened to hear they are going to try to pursue the second recommendation now, but in the past, they disagreed and agreed and disagreed again. i am hopeful there is a follow-up there. >> thanks. just to reiterate, there is bipartisan concern among our committee members that v.a. is no

it sends a message that there are members of the department the police department, sheriff's department, fire department that are just like the people that we encounter in san francisco. and i think it sends a message of hope the more we honor the lbgtq community now, the stronger we can be in standing up against those that don't want our representation. [crowd noise] [music] >> [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish]. [crowd noise] [music] [music] [drums] [crowd noise] this is my first time at the san francisco pride even though i have been here a couple years, i felt like now was the time to go. um -- really just coming to show my support and love for the whole community out here. um, i'm really excited to be here today. >> i think i am most excited be such an arc mazing community come together. just the love and support i think that especially in san francisco, um, people bring together it is this such a deep feeling. and i'm excited feel that today. [crowd noise] [music] [music] [sirens] [music] [crowd noise] whoa! [music] [cars honking] [sirens] [music] [horns] we never been to a par

be clear to those that lead this department who you will serve. you won't work for me. you're not the president or the vice president's lawyer. your loyalty is not to me. it's to the law, the constitution, the people of this nation to guarantee justice. so i would refer you to the department of justice. >> the white house, the president's legal team helpful both domestically and abroad nor the department of justice to be more open about the reasons for that search warrant and the underlying evidence? >> again, this is not something that i'm going to comment on today, this goes to the department of justice. that's who i refer you to. >> the president this morning stressed that the chips act will grow the economy. when will americans feel the impact of this legislation? when will this law impact -- when will my prices go down because of this? >> the secretary spoke to this a little bit. the department is already taking steps to set up -- >> martha: we'll keep listening in here and take you back as the questions go back to this raid and reaction cont

emergency department has neither of those and we often--pdf station in the emergency department. we also do not provide security. i love that number. one security guard for four 5150 clients. and that is is to be paid further in october. which means we're at risk to having zero in our department. so the working conditions are of significant concern. which leads me to my point. we heard about the trouble that they're having to find qualified staff to work in this department. we had multiple conversations to try to indicate that we are in an endless loop at this point. we have inadequate staffing which means the staff overtime on the regular, they don't get their break. we have no one to help us out so they're working much much harder than people at other institutions. add on to that, that the county is one of the institutions that is not offering sign off bonus for the staff. we've talked about that time, it's standard to offer sign on bonus. so we cannot get experienced staff. the staff we have is so much more and so much harder for the population that they leave which just conti

. >> he's talking about the department of justice, he says after the department of justice we have asked to hear from the attorney general, we have not yet. so basically what's going on here, the government obviously has these documents they know what is in them. the trump team, trump attorney also confirmed they have a copy of the warrant, either could release them, so who will release it first, that's the question, mike. >> mike: david spunt, live at the justice department. thanks very much. >> sandra: jessica and sean, fox news contributors. can democrats stay on message ahead of the midterm elections? obviously a lot to look at there, but before all this happened, democrats were out on the tv airwaves touting these recent wins for joe biden. seems this is distracting from that. >> i think there has been a lot of discipline on the senate level, and mitch mcconnell does not really want to talk about this, everyone wants to focus on policy. they know in a midterm election where the economy is the central issue that people will vote their kitchen table issues, checkbook, etc. i think it

there is every incentive for the department to do it right. so, you know, i think it is sort of wrong about six different ways. >> harry lippman, juliet cayenne, thank you for staying with us. >> thank you. >> in the meantime, we'll take a short. break when we come back, we'll have a lot more on the u.s. response to all trump's special master request to seize evidence -- mar-a-lago by the fbi. late breaking story, on cnn, live, 29 minutes past the hour. i typed in grandma's name and birth year... and there she was, working at the five and dime. my dad's been wondering about his childhooaddress for 70 years... and i found it in five minutes. ...that little leaf helped me learn all the names from the old neighborhood... it felt like a treasure hunt. the 1950 census adds vivid new detail to your family story. and it's available now on ancestry. your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description

i want to be clear to those who leave the department -- lead the department, who you will serve, you will not work for me, you not the president or vice president's lawyer. your loyalty is not to me. it is to the law, the constitution, the people of this nation, to guarantee justice. i would refer you to the department of justice. >> when it be helpful domestically, where the department of justice to be more open about the reasons for that search warrant? karine: this is not something i am going to comment on. this goes to the department of justice. >> thank you. the president stressed that the chips act will create jobs and grow the economy. when will americans feel the impact of this legislation? when will it impact supply chains and one will prices go down? karine: the secretary spoke to this. the department is taking steps to set up the office that will implement the bill. so, we will have more details on that soon. we are working hand-in-hand with private companies who are already announcing new investments here at home, because we passed this bill. we are set for many months we

second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken. third, let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the fbi and justice department agents and prosecutors. i will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. the men and women of the fbi and the justice department are dedicated, patriotic public servants. every day they protect the american people from violent crime, terrorism, and other threats to their safety while safe guarding our civil rights. they do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves. i am honored to work alongside them. this is all i can say right now. more information will be made available in the appropriate way and at the appropriate time. thank you. >> mr. attorney general? >> the former president -- >> the fbi agents -- >> thank you all for your questions. as i said, this is all i can say at this time. >> let's d

officials today john bolton, a long-time harsh critic of iran justice department officials say this man, shahram was behind an attempt to kill him. they say he's behind iran's revolutionary force. he's facing murder charges as of now he's overseas not in u.s. custody with very little chance he'll ever be caught. he allegedly reached out to someone he met over social media. he asked that person to take photos of john bolton for a book he was writing that person put him in touch with somebody else who they said could take the photos, but that person turned out to be an fbi informant. eventually he allegedly offered the informant $300,000 to help him eliminate john bolton, $50,000 for the ininformant and $250,000 for anybody they hired to actually do the job officials say he event sent a photo of what appeared to be stacks of cash and told the inform want the money was for the next job he had lined up for him. cnbc washington correspondent eamon javers now >> he joked he's embarrassed how low the price for his head wus was, but in all seriousness he says he's concerned the iranians are

what is the department of justice doing? >> they told you what they were doing, yasmin, they just haven't told you how they're doing it. they have an ongoing investigation, which is why large portions of the affidavit have been redacted. they have numerous witnesses that they are talking to and protecting, which is completely appropriate. remember, search warrants come at the beginning of investigations or sort of the early middle, and not typically at the very end. so we don't know precisely what they're doing or how they're doing it, nor are we entitled to know that, but we know they're still doing it. i think charles made a really interesting and important point by noting what's missing from the attorney's letter. but there's something else i would add to that. the three statutes that the government relied upon to get the search warrant don't require that the information that's mishandled or destroyed be classified information at all. so we can debate, you know, all day if you'd like, yasmin, whether or not the president
