hunter, hundreds defense lawyer, said that process took uterus can't really prove hundred biden was on drugs the day he bought the gun. he's focusing on the word knowingly in the charges, meaning that hunter was not aware necessarily of what he was doing when he bought the firearm. they are focusing on the word is and r in the atf form, it's a very fascinating turn here for abbe lowell and for hunter biden depends what the meaning of is, is not bad right? exactly evan thank you so much, really appreciate your reporting and coming up, president biden is sharpening his rhetoric on donald trump's felony convictions. >> we'll talk about that strategy and more with the man who ran communications in the obama white house. >> that's next you increase in wildfires is exponential unpredictable with willing consequences, the need to do something is urgent slightly
how transparent his defenses have not shown in the video and they say it could harm future investigations in the integrity and that's exactly why we want to see the video to ensure the integrity of that one that was really important. as he went on the opening statements talked about the false claims about the doj as the trim trial he goes down the line and threats to defund particular doj departments and special counsel and the jury verdict in a state trial had nothing to do with the doj but at the end of the day it does and him talking about the individual career agents being singled out for doing their jobs baseless and extremely dangerous aspects he is taking the box but he is not subsequently addressing them in a way the american people deserve because the allegations against him have way more clout than his defenses to. >> harris: let's get back to whether or not they were communications with other d.a. officers, republican really got it started on this, and really press garland let's watch that
together. >> or the department of justice provided to the committee all documents and all correspondence between the department and alvin bragg's office and letitia james' office? >> at the offices you are referring to our independent offices of state -- >> i get that, the question is whether or not you will provide all the documents and correspondence that's the question. i don't need a history lesson. >> well, i will say this again, we do not control those offices they make their own -- >> at the question is will you communicate with them not control, >> you make a request we will refer to the office of legislation -- >> here's the thing you come in here and watch this attack -- >> harris: okay. again, the most powerful attorney in the united states are attorney general did not have communications in one of them used to work for him and connection points in all these offices that are going after
glad to see it's starting to come and years with thissed a administration. regardless of party, previous administrations found ways to manage the border in a strong way. >> douglas nicholls, mr. mayor, thank you for coming on the program. jen palmieri, former communications director for hilary for america and msnbc analyst. there's lots of different opinions. you've lived through them on the border. complicated, as the mayor said. a complicated traffic. pull back the curtain. take us to the white house and the communications team when they are rolling out a big announcement like this. and how does the president maximize the impact? >> i think the timing of --
salacious pictures of drug use and other things that are going going to be embarrassing to 100 biden, but also help prosecutors prove their case. but it's not just that it's a lot of communications as well, text messages, emails, and other communications were hunter biden is talking about his drug use at the relevant time. so it has a lot of important evidence for prosecutors to put it in and of course, been arguments about what should stay out in what should come in, and the judge is taking steps to redact some pictures and so on. i mean, if it's just for shock value, of course it's not coming in, it has to be relevant as well, but it's a good size part of the prosecution's case here. >> right. and they're also using his own words from his memoir inherently him saying he's reading his autobiography why is that significant? and it's probably also worth noting. he's not planning to take the stand. so this may be the time that the jurors actually feel like they hear
>> yeah, matt did a great job there in engaging with the attorney general. it's very clear what is going on here. right? you have the deputy to the third ranking member of the attorney general, the doj office. goes and works with the district attorney in new york to then target former president trump. and then you see now this kind of level of coordination but the attorney general doesn't want to respond to that he just simply wants to say oh no, those are state offices, i can't comment on that. yes, you can. matt was exactly right. if you are in communication with those offices, you can answer those. if you are going to claim that it's conspiracy theory, then just dismiss all of that by saying look, here are all our communications. we weren't actually accord nation with those offices. bull! everybody who can watch this sees that it's a politicized attack on the former president. look, i haven't always agreed with the former president. you haven't always agreed with the former president. the former president is being targeted and attacked by this department of justice but also leftist throughout the country and bragg's office.
recordings. >> it doesn't make any sense the longtime experience so that justice department has also reflected in the declaration and that was filed under oath is that witnesses want to protect the confidentiality of their communications with the prosecutors during these sensitive interviews so aaron, that audio tape recording of biden sitting for the interview with special counsel robert hur. >> it is still classified according to the justice department. it's still in a secured facility, protected, and it's ultimately going to be up to very likely the court's on whether it will be released publicly in some way all right. >> kaelyn, poland's thank you very much. and obviously that recording central to this hearing today out front now, democratic congressman dan goldman, former assistant us attorney in the southern district of new york, which of course is part of the doj. so dan, i really appreciate your time and congressman, i want to get to caitlin reported according in just a moment about the tape. but first, just what we saw today, the attorney
he is mentally facility to be able to stand trial but that president biden is not mentally fit to stand trial. we think we ought to be able to see the audio. look, we think the demeanor is what he said it is, fine. if there is no issue, fine. we ought to be able to see it. it's an impeachment inquiry. we have the right to see it as members of congress. >> laura: garland was asked about potential coordination between the doj and the d.a.'s offices. watch this. >> will the department of justice provide to the committee all documents, all correspondence between the department and alvin bragg's office and f fani willis' office and letitia james office. >> the offices you are referring to are independent offices of state. >> i get that i get that. >> will you provide those communications? >> make a q we will refer it tour outside of of legislative affairs. >> here's the thing you come in here and lodge this attack that it's a conspiracy theory that there is coordinated lawfare against trump. >> laura: congressman, your reaction?
