let's bring in senator alex padilla from california. good to see you, nicolle. it's a bipartisan issue, actually always become a 65% issue to enact bigger reforms like term limits. what kind of wind at the back do you feel on issues about reforming the supreme court, as democrats on the committee? >> yeah, look, i think that's part of the significance of what we learned today about justice alito. as egregious as this story is, it's not in isolation. it's on top of chief justice roberts' refusal to talk to the committee to enforce a code of ethics. it's onop of what we've been airing about justice reporting,

>> we'd like it to be known that we are available. we got a lot of tips about these vacations and travels and gifts in the first round of reporting on clarence thomas, and we're fielding tips today. we're going to run them through. just to be clear, we will run down a credible tip on any judge or any justice who -- whether they were appointed by democrats or republicans. we they that these ethics issues really transcend partisanship, transcend party, and are about keeping the courts clean and above reproach. the justices, especially need to be held to the highest standard. they just can't be held to the letter and spirit of the law,

charlie's reporting and garret's he does not come out and refute the facts that predicated the opening of uninvestigation. it's simply this rather technical dispute about whether it should have been a preliminary instead of the full. but the wreckage, the blast radius, four years of donald trump and sean hannity and everyone on the right building up the durham report is coming. the durham -- i remember being in washington with trump-era justice department officials on the eve of the mueller report coming out, and they said this is nothing, wait until you see what durham's got, and i said, oh, yeah, what does durham have? durham never had anything except a tip to open an investigation into donald trump. and that was something he couldn't even answer for today. what did you think? you were someone whose conduct as a public servant was scrutinized. you were exonerated by everybody, but tell me what you

even hold up with the arguments that clarence thomas is trying to use, which shows there's no defense for either of their actions, and makes an ethics case, or reform at the athletes. >> it's never a liberal donor or bin onnair flying alito around to alaska or buying houses for clarence thomas and his mother, and the where's waldo in all of this reporting is leonard leo. the longtime leader of the federalist society, attended and helped to organize the vacation. he invited singer to join, according to a person familiar with the trip, and leo had recently played an important role in the justice's confirmation to the court. they were both major donors. they are all in the same boat, rows in the same direction from

here's zoe lofgren asking durham an eyebrow raising question about traveling to italy with bill barr. >> i thought it was down a rabbit's hole, but you and attorney general barr went to italy to take a look at some allegation about foreign service, and italian officials gave you evidence that they said linked donald trump to certain financial crimes. did the attorney general ask you to investigate that matter that the italians referred to you? and if so, did you take any investigative steps, and did you file charges? and if not, did you file a declaration memo for decision not to charge in this case? >> the question's outside the scope of what i think i'm authorized to talk about. it's not part of the report. i can tell you this, investigative steps were taken. grand jury subpoenas were issued, and it came to nothing. >> a dramatic collision of facts and republican disinformation at

just where we've gotten, and we're not even at the halfway point. i think that's important to keep in mind. there have been 1,000 arrests thus far, but another 2 and a half years for the justice department to bring forward additional charges against future defendants who have not yet been charged. >> future defendants who are now a cause of the twice impeached, twice indicted president. harry, just talk about this collision, again -- it's sort of been the theme today -- brazen confessions in group chats, and the lie they still believe, and some federal judges have written and spoken about it, but the lie that endangers all of us that somehow the 2020 election was not free, fair and determined that joe biden was the president. >> as ryan says, the guy when he

you did produce a 300-page report, though, and that's given my republican counter parts plenty of material to spin. >> the democrats on the house judiciary committee also drilled down on what durham does not mention in his report, namely the undocumented and frankly unavoidable ties everyone knows existed between the 2016 campaign and russia. >> did anything in your report prove false that russians met with trump's family during the campaign at trump tower after an offer of dirt on hillary clinton? anything prove that meeting didn't happen? >> i don't have any evidence that that did not happen. >> anything to prove false in the 2016 campaign donald trump tried and concealed from the public a real estate deal he was seeking in moscow? >> i don't know anything about that. there's nothing in the report about it. it's not something we investigated. >> did you prove -- did donald trump not say at a press conference, russia, if you're

at night, the lodge's chef serve multicourse meals. on the last evening, a member of alito's group bragged that the wine they were drinking cost $1,000 a bottle. he described the lodge as comfortable bus rustic. the justice says he does not remember if he was served wine, but if he was, it wouldn't have been $1,000. i -- i imagine as a journalist, you feel pretty good about his response to the specifics of the reporting. >> well, i am really proud of these reporters. they have done extraordinary work unit trying circumstances

their participation in the 2016 election, it was bizarre to see a current employee of merrick garland's justice department say nothing. i mean there wasn't even a note of it would be very serious for a hostile foreign power to intervene. i mean how -- how daunting is that ahead of another presidential election that republicans and john durham whatever party he's in these days, are all interested in fogging up the lens around russia's role in meddling in an election? >> i mean it is really alarming because, of course, there's no question that russia may try to do exactly this again. that is decide donald trump would be really good for them and they're going to intervene. and now with a.i. they have more powerful tools to be able to do that. but it is shocking. some very basic questions we asked him about the wrongfulness trying to get dirt from a hostile foreign power in that trump tower meeting, heole really shied away from giving

russia investigation sometimes conflating it with the steele dossier and democrats pointing to episodes in the mueller report and using this occasion to highlight them, there were these questions about some of our findings when we investigated the durham investigation into the russia investigation. people asked why did your number two resign, because we reported it was after a series of ethical disputes culminating in barr pushing them to draft an interim report that was going to come out or could come out before the 2020 election. he wouldn't engage. he praised her but he said that's an internal management issue, i'm not going to talk about it. they asked him about that tip from italian officials about some kind of financial crimes linked in some way to trump that barr had durham investigate and came to nothing. there he did engage, he went beyond the report as you just showed. he acknowledged that happened and said they issued grand jury subpoenas and this time it came to nothing.
