judiciary committee, have you become familiar with the public reported details about the case? >> g.a. garland: i have read about the details. >> greg: that's good, think of her how was his performance? before i don't think you can say the name merrick garland without thinking about the history. at that time, he was seen afters this person who was so wrong because he did not have an opportunity to have a hearing. everyone has expected that as attorney general he would be this evenhanded and careful attorney general. the problem for merrick garland is that the events make it look otherwise. even at the national school board association sending out this memo, then the back story, and "they have been going back and forth with the white house. we are upset with what's been going on in meetings, and people are under assault or in danger." over the weekend, from friday, the letter goes out. monday, there is an announcement that the fbi will be watching all of this. now, under scrutiny and questioning, merrick garland goes "i based it on the letter from the national school board assoc

similar to what the judiciary committee and the select committee is in the process of doing. try to understand who did what and whether or not there were people in congress or in the white house who would have worked with the folks who ended up storming the capitol. if they coordinated it. if it was a planned attack or whether it was a spontaneous riot that broke out of a heated protest. i think the justice department has not weighed in definitively at this point on which scenario was -- which scenario they have found. we have seen nearly 700 people charged with a variety of crimes related to january 6th. but what we haven't seen is the justice department actually make the links between people in leadership and government and the people who attacked the capitol. there have actually only been small groups identified who coordinated in any way according to prosecutors to overturn -- to try to overturn the results of the election. >> katie, your reporting on the senate judiciary's work does make that link, though. you have the body of reporting, the notes that mr. donahue took f

judiciary committee. republicans have been seizing on this memo ever since it was issued october 4, and they've been falsely saying it was meant to stifle free speech and portraying it as a directive to arrest parents when they speak out at board meetings. simply, this is a memo that tells the fbi and law enforcement to work with strategies to stop threats. merrick garland, thsince this hearing began at 10:00 this morning, has been defeating the memo, saying it doesn't target parents. in fact, parents have been encouraged to have debates. he told senator cotton this, as long as there are no threats of violence, they are fully protected. but the attorney general is also noting the rise in threats in recent months, not just against school board members but against many others. here's what he said. >> it's in a rising tide of threats of violence against judges, against prosecutors, against secretaries of state, against election administrators, against doctors, against protesters, against news reporters. that

. >> house judiciary committee you said you were concerned only about true threats. are you going to revise your memorandum to make it clear this applies only to true threats of violence, instead of classifying parents in this country with domestic terrorists suchtimothy mcvey and terry nichols. you said your memo was based on the nsb a letter and the news reports, so you have said there was not a lot of independent research done by you and your staff. if you would please submit to us for the record, the news reports that you're referencing so we will be able to have that as a frame of reference. also we would love to know who actually did write that memo and how they came up with the idea of calling parents domestic terrorists? one other thing i've got for you, do you agree with the supreme court second amendment is a civil right? if so, what is civil rights division doing to ensure it is being protected? >> so back up on some questions, the memo doesn't say anything about domestic terrorism or calling parents domestic terrorists. i do agree second amendment is part

i was glad to also have the commitment of our house judiciary committee as well as senator grassley. this is a bipartisan bill that was adopted by the senate by unanimous consent. and, therefore, i ask my colleagues to join me in supporting this legislation so the president can sign it into law. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. all time has expired. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass senate 1511, as amended. -- as many as are in favor will signify by saying aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 having responded in the affirmative, the measure is passed. ed the lady from -- the lady from texas. ms. jackson lee: mr. speaker, with that i ask for the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 3-s of house resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this question will be postponed. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, the unfinished business is the vote on the motion of the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee, to s

attorney general, can you confirm to this committee if you did earlier before the house judiciary committee the purpose of the memo that you were just discussing with senator cornyn is to have meetings to discuss whether there is a problem, to discuss strategies, to discuss whether local law enforcement needs assistance, or doesn't need assistance? is that the purpose of it? >> yes. thank you for making that point, senator. i say that in the memo. that the purpose of the memo is to convene meetings with federal, state, and local, tribal leaders and to facilitate discussions of strategies for addressing threats, to assess the question and to open lines of communication about those threats. >> thank you. i want to move to some other threats and that is a hearing that actually center blunt and i had yesterday. a bipartisan hearing. we both called witnesses before the rules committee. and it was with both republican and democratic election officials, the attorney general of arizona, a republican local official in philadelphia. and they told stories that horrified senators on both sides of the a

mere hours after he sat before the house judiciary committee last week, the full house passed a resolution finding steve bannon in contempt of congress. in other words,garland's appearance before senate judiciary tomorrow will be his first oversight hearing since it became his department's responsibility and among many democrats, expectation to enforce a congressional subpoena against steve bannon. he might not be able to dodge questions tomorrow, considering what we learned from the "washington post" this week about bannon's involvement about what is being called headquarters for the insurrection. joining us now, our friend neal katyal, former acting u.s. solicitor general, now a georgetown university professor. i was able to sleep after that vote because you assured me that doj would enforce that subpoena. do you believe that will be the case? >> i do. so, i think the justice department has a very cautious attitude in which they examine the stuff case by case but this is a case in which literally the subpoena is about a war on our democracy and a guy who's afraid to tell the truth under

republicans on the judiciary committee are calling on garland to rescind his memo. you side stepped the chilling effect the law enforcement apparatus would have on parents' speech. they initially urged the biden administration to investigate school board protests. garcia has been appointed by education secretary to the national assessment governing board. loudon county virginia father scott smith demanded answers about his daughter who was sexually assaulted in a girl's bathroom at school. the family attorney says the smith family stands stronger than ever in moving forward to insure that those responsible in the loudon county school system are held accountable so this may never happen again to anyone else's child. a short time ago some students walked out at broad run high school in loudon county to protest the way that sexual assault case was handled by the school system. one of the many reasons education is a major issue in the virginia governor's race. >> taking care of our children and making sure that they have a quality education and are safe in schools is no

we've seen it in their testimony before the judiciary committee, and we've seen it in the broad support they have from the legal communities where they live. now, let me tell you a bit about each of them. first is jia cobb, nominated to the d.c. court for the district of columbia. ms. cobb has more nan 15 years' experience as a -- has more than 15 years' experience sasse a litigator. this depth of experience is one of reasons she was rated unanimously, unanimously well qualified by the american bar association. for nearly a decade, she has been represented people when it comes to housing and employment discrimination laws and critically, ms. cobb understands the distinction between being an advocate and a judge. as a judge on the district of d.c., she has promised to rule based on the law and facts before her. next is judge karen women -- karen williams. she was unanimously rated well qualified by the a.b.a. that's a testament to her experience, which includes two decades as a prosecuting litigator. she has the strong support of both senators from new jersey. we'll also be voting this w

this is what david cicilline, a member of the house judiciary committee told me. he said, with enormous economic power very often comes enormous political power. and they are spending millions and millions of dollars flooding this town with lobbyists and campaign contributions, doing everything they can to stop the reforms. this is the reason that battles against monopolies are hard. so, look, we'll see what happens here. but i will say that proponents of reining in big tech feel like the tides have finally turned in their favor. >> we'll see. there is some bipartisan support, but i'm sure the lobbying machines are churning into action now. melanie zanona on the hill, donie o'sullivan, thank you very much. >>> president biden rejected the latest executive privilege claim by former president trump. this over documents that trump is trying to keep out of the hands of the january 6th select committee. >> cnn white house correspondent jeremy diamond joining us now. jeremy, this is after the former president had filed a lawsuit to stop the national archives from turnin

the house judiciary committee passed a package of anti-trust bills earlier this summer with the support of several republicans, i should note. it has yet to receive a vote on the house floor. so, look, while there is bipartisan anger, it is still very unclear whether that's actually going to translate into action. part of the reason is because republicans and democrats, while they agree on the need to reign in silicon valley, they disagree on why and how to do it. the other bigbrianna, is money. big tech is one of the biggest political spenders in washington. this is what david cicilline told me about this. quote, with enormous economic power very often comes enormous political power. and they are spending millions and millions of dollars, flooding this town with lobbyists and campaign contributions, doing everything they can to stop these reforms. this is the reason that battles against monopolies are hard. so we'll see what happens here. i will note that proponents of cracking down on big tech feel like momentum is finally on their side. >> we'll see if it is enough. thank you. >> joi

and the house judiciary committee actually passed a package of antitrust bills earlier this summer with the support of several republicans, but it has yet to receive a full vote in the house. now, look, there is bipartisan anger over facebook and big tech right now, but the big question is whether it can actually turn into action. and part of the problem is that even though republicans and democrats agree on the need to rein in silicon valley, they have different reasons to do so and different visions for how to do so. the other big piece of this, laura, is money. big tech is one of the biggest political spenders in washington. they have for a very long time up here, but incredibly powerful and have gone untouched. so we'll have to see whether this actually is different this time around. but proponents of cracking down feel like the tides are finally turning in their favor, laura. >> the lobbying aspect of this really key there. melanie, thank you for your reporting. appreciate it. >> reporter: thank you. >>> the chicago city council poised to vote this week on one of the nation's most

thanks to the recent report by the senate judiciary committee we also know that trump made multiple attempts to get in the department of justice to interfere. speaking with the doj, according again, to that senate report, nine times just between december and early january. where he repeatedly asked to initiate investigations, fall off suits on his behalf and publicly declared the 20 2020 election corrupt. the acting attorney general at the time, a man name -- the acting attorney general named jeffrey clark is set to testify before house committee investigating january 6th this week. so we can learn more about the nature of those calls from the president soon. it was not just donald trump in this legal advisors pushing to delegitimized the results of the election. and placing january six in the forefront of their attempts to do so. back in december of 2020, it was reported, the house republican led by abbott trump supporter congressman of alabama, they're meeting with the -- about ways to overturn the election result. again, not our secret, not doing this behind closed doors, in political. an

he is a member of the house intelligence committee and the house judiciary committee. thank you for joining us tonight, mr. swalwell. chairman thompson is saying that, anything is possible in terms of where the subpoenas will be going next, but it seems like the january six committee does have to calculate how long a fight, a legal fight, donald trump would put up over a subpoena. >> lawrence, we should assume he's gonna fight everything. that's what he does. he is a legal terrorists, as we would call him on the impeachment team. we offered for him to come and testify in impeachment number two. if you recall, he refused that we believe that showed a consciousness of guilt. if he makes the same refusal if he's asked for january 6th, i hope the company recognizes the reason he won't come forward, is that is as it relates to this edition suite at the willard hotel, yes, we should know who paid for and stayed in that suite, at the very least. >> yeah, apparently there were several of them. let's listen to john eastman, the lawyer who was there providing the phony legal mem

member of the house judiciary committee, he joins me now. it's good to have you, congressman. the, i think there's a key distinction, congresswoman uses planning in that tweet. cori bush's resolution says incitement. has it been cleared by members of congress? >> it's great to be on your show again. you know, there is a fine point and i think that that's why it's so important to conduct the investigation that cori bush and so many other colleagues called for early this year. i appreciate the reporting done by rolling stone. obviously there needs to be further investigation and of course this was the entire point of the select committee, which we had hoped would be done on a bipartisan basis earlier this year, but we couldn't get enough support from our republican colleagues in the united states senate to do a simple bipartisan investigation of what happened on january 6th. that's why you're seeing democrats lead the way. issue subpoenas that are uncovering day by day the kind of information that we are seeing reported in rolling stone. >> but expulsion from congress, the 14th

the attorney general will appear before the senate judiciary committee on wednesday. expect this topic to come up likely multiple times. back to you. elizabeth: david spunt, thank you so much for your journalism there. joining me from house transportation and infrastructure congresswoman michelle steele. congresswoman, great to have you on. did the white house abuse its powers here? >> i couldn't hear your question? elizabeth: i beg your pardon. did the white house abuse its power to help a special interest group based on misinformation that the n sba admits was wrong? was this a partisan hit job on parents? was this a abuse of power? >> this is total abuse of power because the parents tried to exercise their first amendment. the national school boards association tried to call them domestic terrorists. that doesn't work like that. why attorney general goes out and asks the fbi to go after these parents, these parents are their constituents for the school board members and they have to listen because parents know their kids much better than anybody else out there. i t

folks like jim jordan could become the head of the judiciary committee that oversees the justice department. and if he was engaged in talking to insurrectionists, that seems to be a massive conflict of interest, if not a security concern so that's why we're going after the folks on this list and we think it's important to take an all of the above approach on how to boot them from congress. >> i have two follow-up questions. one, they did it out loud. i mean, let me just play this. marjorie taylor greene's own words, her own face, her own voice on january 5th, basically previewing what she planned to do the next day. >> tomorrow, we're prepared to object to the stolen electoral college votes. president trump was re-elected for four more years. tomorrow is a very important day in america's history. we can't allow our integrity of our elections to be stolen. we must object to this vote, so let's get ready to fight for america tomorrow. >> i guess, i play that to say that republicans have seen this. and how do you fix the problem that that's no longer disqualifying in american political life? >
