>>> WELCOME BACK.
WE HAVE SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE JANUARY 6th PROBE AS WELL AS
BROADER ACCOUNTABILITY FOR
ATTACKS ON AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.
I CAN'T REMEMBER A NIGHT I HAVE
HAD THIS MANY THINGS TO GO
THROUGH WITH YOU.
HERE WE GO.
TONIGHT THERE ARE HOUSE CONTEMPT
VOTES FOR TRUMP AIDES.
THAT'S THE SAME VOTE THAT LED TO
STEPHEN BREYER'S
STEVE BANNON'S DOOIMT.
JARED KUSHNER WILL NOW TESTIFY
THURSDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
THIS PROBE BASED ON A VOLUNTARY
AGREEMENT WITH THE JANUARY 6th
INVESTIGATORS.
AND A NEW JUDICIAL RULING
AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
SO WE WILL GO MORE IN DEPTH ON
THAT RIGHT NOW.
DEATH WAS RECENTLY SPARED, YOU
MAY RECALL, IN THE CRIMINAL
PROBE INTO HIS BUSINESS IN NEW
YORK.
THE D.A. HERE PAUSING THE WHOLE
THING.
NOW TOTALLY SEPARATE ISSUE, NOT
BUSINESS, BUT DEMOCRACY.
A JUDGE IS BEARING DOWN ON
DONALD TRUMP'S POTENTIAL
CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR ELECTION
CRIMES FINDING IT IS LIKELY THAT
DONALD TRUMP CORRUPTLY ATTEMPTED
TO OBSTRUCT CONGRESS ON JANUARY
6th WITH A PLAN THAT WAS
OBVIOUSLY ILLEGAL.
IF THAT JUDGE IS RIGHT, WHY
WOULD DONALD TRUMP BE MOTIVATED
TO HIDE AND OBSTRUCT THE TRUTH
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY?
WELL, THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT
DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TOP AIDES
COULD BE TIED TO OTHER ILLEGAL
PARTS OF JANUARY 6th.
IN OTHER WORDS, WE ALL KNOW
THERE WERE THINGS THAT ARE LEGAL
LIKE GIVING A SPEECH, EVEN IF
YOU LIE IN IT, AND THINGS THAT
ARE ILLEGAL, PEOPLE IN TROUBLE
FORTRESS AS PASSING, BATTERY,
SEDITION.
BUT NO ONE IN THE TRUMP WHITE
HOUSE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH THAT
KIND OF STUFF.
WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GOES
BEYOND THE RALLIES OR ELECTION
CERTIFICATION.
THE COMMITTEE WANTS TO HEAR FROM
TRUMP WHITE HOUSE AIDES UNDER
OATH.
TONIGHT TWO WILL FACE CONTEMPT
VOTES.
THAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT HOUR OR
SO.
AND SOMETHING ELSE, NEW DETAILS
WE ARE GETTING IS BASICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A SITUATION LIKE THIS
YOU HAVE A SITUATION LIKE THIS
THAT SUB'S DEFYING A SUBPOENA,
E.
TODAY WE GOT SOMETHING NEW.
A 34-PAGE REPORT WITH I GOT TO
TELL YOU SOME DAMNING EVIDENCE
AGAINST THESE AIDES.
NOW, THE PEOPLE DEFYING IT ARE
DAN SCAVINO, A WOU DIGITAL AIDE
AND A WHITE HOUSE ADVISOR PETER
NAVARRO.
YOU MAY REMEMBER HIM.
HE IS THE ADVISOR WHO BACKED
DONALD TRUMP'S MULTIFACETED
EFFORT TO SOMEHOW STAY IN POWER
AND HE BACKED IT TO THE END EVEN
AS OTHER AIDES AND LAWYERS KIND
OF PULLED AWAY.
MR. NAVARRO ADMITTED HE PLOTTED
FOR THAT GOAL.
HIS OWN AIDE WAS CAUGHT HELPING
AN OVAL OFFICE MEETING THAT
PUSHED THAT WARTED PLAN TRYING
TO GET THE MILITARY TO HELP WITH
THE TRUMP COUP.
THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY
ILLEGAL.
GIULIANI SAID IT A WOULD LAND
THEM ALL IN JAIL.
ON THAT ONE ITEM NAVARRO
DISCLAIMED ANY KNOWLEDGE AND THE
OTHER STUFF HE ADMITTED A LOT.
WHEN I SAY IT'S NEW INFORMATION
I AM REFERRING TO THE FACT THAT
THE HOUSE HAS GONE OVER THE
EVIDENCE TO MAKE THE CASE THAT
HE SHOULD BE HELD IN COP TEMPT
AND THEY HAVE NEW EVIDENCE THAT
ON JANUARY 6th NAVARRO HAD
MULTIPLE AM CALLS WITH STEVE
BANNON INCLUDING DURING AND
AFTER THE ATTACK ON THE U.S.
CAPITOL.
THAT IS A BIG STATEMENT RIGHT
THERE.
EVIDENCE NEWLY RELEASED SHOWING
THEY HAD THIS CONTACT GOING
DURING AND AFTER THE CRIMINAL
ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL.
WHICH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT
ADDS CONTEXT TO HOW NAVARRO WAS
KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH HIS
CO-PLOT, THE NOW INDICTED
BANNON, TO USE, ABUSE OR
POTENTIALLY CRIMINALLY DEPLOY
THOSE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS ON
JANUARY 6th TO SOMEHOW OVERTHROW
THE WHOLE ELECTION.
HE ADMITTED PART OF THIS RIGHT
HERE ON THE BEAT.
>> THE PLAN WAS SIMPLY THIS.
WE HAD OVER 100 CONGRESSMEN AND
SENATORS ON CAPITOL HILL READY
TO IMPLEMENT THE SWEEP.
THE REMEDY WAS FOR VICE
PRESIDENT PENCE AS THE
QUARTERBACK IN THE GREEN BAY
SUITE TO REMAND THE VOTES BACK
TO THE SIX BATTLEGROUND STATES.
>> DO YOU REALIZE YOU ARE
DESCRIBING A COUP?
>> SEND LEGAL VOTES BACK TO THE
STATES SO THE PERSON WHO LOST
CAN STAY IN POWER.
COUP.
SO AFTER THAT INTERVIEW
INVESTIGATORS TOOK MORE INTEREST
IN PLEAMR. NAVARRO.
AFTER HE GET HIT WITH A
SUBPOENA, HE DID RETURN TO THE
BEAT AND CREDIT TO HIM FOR
TAKING QUESTIONS.
WE ALWAYS GO TO THE SOURCES WHEN
WE CAN.
WE WANT TO BRING YOU ALL THE
EVIDENCE AND YOU MAKE UP YOUR
OWN MIND.
SO HE CAME BACK AND HE
PROCLAIMED TO ME THAT HE WOULD
NOT HONOR A LAWFUL REQUEST TO
DISCUSS THE VERY TOPICS HE KEPT
OUTLINING ON TV.
NOW, THAT'S NOT A GOOD LEGAL
ARGUMENT.
IT'S HIS RIGHT TO TRY TO ITIT AN
SEE.
DOJ DECIDES WHETHER TO CHARGE OR
NOT.
BUT IT'S NOT A STANDARD OR
TRADITIONAL WAY TO TRY TO SAY
SOMETHING SECRET PRIVILEGED AND
THEN TALK ABOUT IT IN PUBLIC OR
IN THIS CASE IN PUBLIC IN FRONT
OF A LIVE TV AUDIENCE.
THAT'S ME SAYING THAT.
I WILL TELL YOU THIS VERY POINT
IS ALSO IN THE NEW CONTEMPT
REPORT FROM THE HOUSE COMMITTEE,
WHICH STATES, QUOTE, NAVARRO
APPEARED ON NATIONAL TELEVISION
DISCUSSING SUBJECTS THAT WERE THE FOCUS OF THE SUBPOENA WHICH
THE FOCUS OF THE SUBPOENA WHICH
HE IS DEFYING, AND THAT
STATEMENT, FOOTNOTES AND CITES
HIS FEBRUARY 10 APPEARANCE IN
THE BEAT ON NBC.
THAT WAS ABOUT HIS SWEEP BUT
ALSO NOTING HE SIMPLY WOULD NOT
COMPLY WITH THE COMMITTEE
REQUESTS EVEN IF, AS I RAISED IT
IN THE QUESTION, HE MIGHT FACE
POSSIBLE CONTEMPTS ON
INDICTMENT.
>> WHY RISK A LEGAL BATTLE OR
GOING TO JAIL TO REFUSE TO
DISCUSS WITH THE COMMITTEE UNDER
OATH?
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS INVOKED
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE.
IT'S NOT MY PRIVILEGE TO WAVE.
>> DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE
WAIVED IT BY DISCUSSING IT UNDER
OATH AND ARE YOU PREPARED TO
RISK INDICTMENT FOR DEFYING THE
SUBPOENA?
>> I'LL STAND TALL TON THIS.
>> NAVARRO DOUBLING DOWN LAST
NIGHT THAT WE HEARD IN THE
INTERVIEW.
HE SAID IF TRUMP WAIVES THE
PRIVILEGE I WILL BE HAPPY TO
COMPLY.
IF THE COMMITTEE APPROVES THE
REPORT, IT WILL BE SENT TO THE
HOUSE WHO VOTES ON WHETHER TO
RECOMMEND TO DOJ, THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT, INDICT MR. NAVARRO
LIKE IT INDICTED MR. BANNON FOR
THE SAME CONTEMPT.
BANNON AND NAVARRO.
THERE IS NO DEBATE.
NO DENIAL THAT THEY WORKED
TOGETHER FOR MA THEY CALL A
SWEEP BUT THAT LOOKS -- LOOKS A
LOT LIKE A KOURP.
AND NOW WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR
SO THE SECOND OF THE TWO OF
THEM, NAVARRO AFTER BANNON'S
INDICTMENT, ARE GOING TO FACE A
VOTE THAT COULD LEAD TO CONTEMPT
AND LEAD THE DOJ AND MERRICK
GARLAND HAVE TOTO HAVE TO MAKE A
DECISION.
IF YOU WATCH OUR COVERAGE YOU
RECALL I DISCUSSED THE FACT THAT
MR. MEADOWS, WHITE HOUSE CHIEF
OF STAFF, HAS SOME STRONGER
LEGAL ARGUMENTS FOR NOT
COOPERATING WITH PARTS OF THE
COMMITTEE.
MR. NAVARRO'S ARGUMENTS ARE
