I will speak with a congressman. And attorney general merrick garland says the doj will turn its eye on new restrictive voting laws passing in states all across the country. We ll get to all of it. Welcome to the week. We begin with an astonishing story. Former attorney general william barr is attempting to distance himself from reporting that the trump doj seized the phone records of at least two prominent lawmakers. Barr tells politico that while he was attorney general, he was, quote, not aware of any congressman s records being sought in a leak case. The justice department has announced that the department s inspector general will investigate and democrats are calling on barr and trump s other former attorney general, jeff sessions, to testify before congress. But really none of us should be surprised. Remember, he literally called for this to happen. I call this receipts. Roll the tape. They ought to investigate adam schiff for leaking that information. He should not be leaking in
That s happening in the world of popular culture and social media with a panel of experts. Also, inhumane coaching. Unrealistic pressures. Some gymnasts are blowing up everything we know about the world of gymnastics. Chelsie, the seventh most decorated gymnast in the entire united states joins me ahead. Welcome to the week. President biden s european vacation continued today in the u. K. Chill vibes. Today was day two of the g7. The focus was on global infrastructure. Combatting china s growing influence and pandemic recovery and prevention. President biden continued his oneonone meetings with world leaders. During his sitdown with french president emmanuel macron, the message was clear. America is back. The united states has said, we re back. We feel very, very strongly about the cohesion of nato and i for one think that the european union is an incredibly strong and vibrant entity. We have to deal with this pandemic and the covid19. We have to take a lot of chances, climate change,
Good morning. I m poppy harlow. I m jim sciutto. Hours from now, president biden will leave the white house for oklahoma to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the tulsa race massacre. It is just a horrific and sadly, a long ignored chapter in this nation s history. On may 31st, 1921, a white mob descended on what was a thriving black neighborhood, greenwood, in tulsa. Angry crowds went block to block. They looted. They killed. Eyewitnesses reported planes, a relatively new invention at the time, took part in the attacks. Attacks from the air. The destruction and devastation lasted until the next day. And the scenes afterwards just horrendous. Not just homes and businesses, but schools and churches also destroyed. The very heart of that community burned to the ground. Thousands were left homeless as many as 300 black americans were killed. Reflecting on that horror today, the president will meet with three survivors of the massacre, the oldest 107 years old. He is also expected to ann
That was established by the state of california in 1989, that has not actually defined but also prohibited the possession of these kinds of semiautomatic weapons. In that law, most of those are, of course, those ak and arstyle rifles that we ve seen used in various mass shootings. You just gave us some of those horrible examples that are obviously extremely tragic of actual mass shootings that we ve seen happen in this country now. And now, fred, this new development coming from a san diego federal judge here, ruling just yesterday alone that this law deprives lawabiding citizens in the state of california of actually possessing these kinds of weapons that are available and sold in other parts of the country. A specific part of the ruling that s certainly leading to outrage from this judge is not only his comparison to these kinds of weapons to swiss army knives but also goes on to writing in the ruling the firearms are deemed, quote, assault weapons are fairly ordinary, popular, moder
Including this doozie that people in italy had used military technology and satellites, not making this up, to remotely tamper with voting machines in the united states and switch votes for trump to votes for biden. That is a lie. Yes indeed. The president is also said to be clinging to the bogus audit of ballots in maricopa, arizona and whether it can be duplicated in other states and magically change the outcome of the election. Spoiler alert it will not. As trump resides in the state of delusion, growing desperate for attention, he s just learned that he won t be allowed back on facebook for at least the next two years. His blog that was first touted as a major social platform couldn t even come close to filling the void. It was shut down after just 29 days. That is the man republicans welcome back to the stage, a man who incited a mob, lost the white house, and end of social media and joining me now senior white house correspondent john harwood and april ryan. John, trump has been
