To comply because he wants to raise issues of privilege. today the committee said we reject that argument in its entirety. now, if he is prosecuted and found guilty, he could be looking at a fine and even jail time. look, jake, this is not a common kind of proceeding. it rarely results in jail time p but i spoke to the lawyers, even in the trump orbit, who say jail could be a possibility if he is found guilty. >> interesting. of course, there are other trump allies, mark meadows, former chief of...

Extremely interesting to a lot of people. >> absolutely. sahil, im told you have some news about kash patel. this is the trump loyalist who was installed at the defense department in the final days of the trump administration. what do you have? >> geoff, just coming to us in the last few moments, a select committee aide telling nbc news that they have agreed to short postponement of kash patel and mark meadows in their deposition testimony. patel was scheduled to testify today. meadows is schedu...

Immediately after bannon defied their subpoena. alisyn and victor. >> ryan, i also understand that youre getting information about the other associates who had been subpoenaed, mark meadows, kash patel. >> reporter: thats right. remember, there were four individuals what were scheduled for depositions this week. bannon, of course, perhaps the most high-profile but also mark meadows, the former chief of staff, dan scavino, the deputy chief of staff and kash patel who was at the pentagon on januar...

Asking for. the same aide tells me dan scavino, the former trump white house official, they had trouble serving him at first, and they have agreed to a postponement in his scheduled deposition as well, because of that delay. so one man, steve bannon, now in the crosshairs of a likely criminal contempt referral for that subpoena. the other three, it looks like theyre going to give him a little more time and see if theyll meet the same fate at steve bannon. >> one wonders about the level of engage...

Headed up by mitch mcconnell. it gives the democrats more time. two months. the more time to figure it out. they can now have two more months to figure out how to screw us. >> besides the fact that the hypocrisy on the republican side about the issue of the debt ceiling is absolutely -- its absolutely ridiculous how rip critical they are. in the current political climate, even with mitch mcconnell saying he will not help the democrats out, is there any chance it gets done in the next 54 days? >>...

Ridiculous how hypocritical they are. in the current political climate. even with mitch mcconnell saying he is not going to help the democrats out, is there any chance of a government funding bill gets done in the next 54 days? >> i have a chance that the democrats will be able to do it alone, and i was actually a little unhappy to see this postponement of the debt ceiling confrontation because it is very clear that they are going to have to do it by themselves. they are probably going to have t...

Trump reported his -- brought in 150 million in income while he served in the white house. but the hotel actually incurred more than 70 million in losses. and this was an issue that came up during the campaign, in the beginning of his presidency, in terms of potentially profiting off of the presidency. he also received in a postponement of payments from deutsche bank, the permission to postpone 170 million dollar loan. what is wrong with this picture? this feels very much against what the founde...

Subpoenas, even if it means criminal contempt, we have to do that, because if we lose, we dont just lose an election, we lose everything. >> when you think about all of the different investigations that are out there, obviously we got new information today from the house oversight committee as well that found donald trump reported his hotel in downtown d.c. brought in $150 million in income while he served as president. but the hotel actually incurred more than $70 million in losses. and this wa...

Suggest he won the election when clearly he did not. >> youre working on this, some of your other colleagues are working on a deal for a short-term postponement of the issue of whether or not the united states will default on its debt, raising the debt ceiling, delaying that -- postponing that until december as it were. is this something you support, the delay, and how does this change anything? does it make it more likely you support using reconciliation and get this done permanently? >> well, ...

Potentially in a situation in december with the debt ceiling coming up, government funding that passed last week coming up in december and its possible democrats could still try to iron out the infrastructure or the build back better reconciliation piece in december. looking at an enormous cliff of all of these things congress has to get done in the weeks before christmas. its a lot, willie. >> as you say, not a resolution, really. its a postponement of this big business in front of them. >> abs...
