A lot to get to this morning, including the legal pressure in a fine again and former president donald trump. The justice department has issued dozens of subpoenas to associate and former aids as a grand jury investigates efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election. We

dig into that report. The new york times also more scrutiny on trumps post election fund raising and, as the right accuses the bide administration of weapon rising the justice department.

This calmness and associate editor for the washington post, David Ignatius and the hum of way too early whitehouse bureau chiefs political author of the best seller, the big lie: Jonathan. Let me good morning to you also Joe. Busy day this new report on the new york times that will dig into about new, subpoenas issued to a wide range of people and donald trump orbit around the effort to overturn the twenty twenty election right You know at first glance a surprising, but then, after you think about it, not so much of it. There is a reason, of course, where we have all of these investigations moving forward and weather. So accords investigation or whether it sir, around january, the sex or whether sound georgia's, because Donald trump, obviously broke the law. Time and again, you even have the most hard right lawyer saying what general bar is now sandwiches. Did you it's law. Yes, of course he broke. The law are the pie.

Where's his papers know they're, not his papers should he be arrested. Well, where the debate that's where they are, san so yet yet another far right legal analysed hey man, said the same thing so again. It's it you see the news, a new sort sort of draw breath, but at the same time is not so uprising, one person after another person after another person every day facing justice for being part of the trade to overturn a presidential election and the person that they all credit, forgetting them there. The person who inspire them to do that person who is the head of that conspiracy to commit sedition against united states well, he's living in his country club in florida. At some point, stacy serve and, at some point, a mirror and can be assured that no ma am no. Woman is above the law

of course, as you say, even William Barr trump's, former attorney general among those saying the justice department. It appears has enough to indict the question for him and others is, should they so here's what we know this morning. New information about the widening criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the two thousand and twenty election NBC news now has confirmed that about forty subpoenas were issued over the past week well associated with former president tromp? According to the new york times, which first reported the news former trumpet dance gavina was among those subpoenaed. His attorney has declined to combat a lawyer to former new york city police. Commissioner bernard kara confirmed NBC news that care was among those subpoenaed carrefour, portly was higher I trust legal team to invest. fraud in the twenty twenty election according to his lawyer character and it We had offered to grant an interview voluntarily a source tells NBC news. Former trump adviser, Boris Epstein was one of two people to have

their phones seized. Epstein has been tied to the scheme to replace Biden, electors with fake trump electors from a present in spite of his golf course in northern virginia yesterday, wearing that right make america great again had tromp was seen with a group of about eight to twelve people, including a sun Erik the former president, making spected arrival at Dulles airport in virginia on Sunday? Amidst Speculation, the justice department could charge him with crimes posted on social media. Yesterday he was just working during the rare postponed until trip to the door The area, less brand justice department report for the new york times, katy, better and former? U s attorney barbara liquid good morning to you both katy, I start with you in this report, the times that you contributed to. We laid out some of the names of this wide range of about forty people around donald trump it received subpoenas from justice department. So what

who all are we talking about beyond some of the names we laid out and why this rush in recent days, on the timing. I think that one of the reasons why the justice department put out this sort of blast subpoenas. Requests for information and took a couple of phones last week is because they are bumping up against the tumor before the election period, where the justice department will does not want to do a lot of over investigative steps. Instead, what they tend to do if they try to analyze information they already have, or they try to subpoena companies like from companies or tech companies for records things that would not tip off to the public what what it is their best to gaining or what it is there looking out so close to a very sensitive political cycle, and then, in terms of who the just department was looking out, they were really trying to get information from anybody who has, as a kid it's red or worked on or knows anything about a couple of the different investment fr, as there are already looking at, including the play

and two or two put forth an alternative or fake slate of electors in key swing. States and barbara, I would take it. It's not great news for you whenever department of justice seizes cell phones from your aids. What does tell you about first of all, where they're going with this investigation and how aggressive they are, how how possibly close they are to charge the president. Do you see that the circles are closing in on the highest levels of government here, close as to the former president and his eyes. these subpoenas. It seems to me that we are seeing a kind of the face electors scheme meeting the seditious conspirators. So what they're really looking for is, I think, a commonality at the top to connect these two threads together, and if you can make their connection, then you could put donald trump at the centre of a conspiracy asked what fun

seizing telephones, its it says to me that they ve looked at phone records that they are able to get from the phone company, but there may be in did far messages that they can only get from the phones themselves. to be the ones that are done in secret the ones that might be the most sensitive, and so Getting the phones where we are our most candid. Our text messages list of people that we ve made phone calls to answer those can be very useful to Tyler's threads together and Messages can really be a gold mine ass. He saw the january six hearings, it's where people speak candidly, it's where admissions come in, and so I think that it can be a variable gold, mine as a la mere you wrote the best selling book on this attempted coup by the trump administration people around donald trump to overturn the two thousand and twenty election. What jumped out at you about this report among the names we saw in there, I guess some of the suspects we would anticipate seeing there. But what else did you see in this new report? Yeah it

just go, show the breadth of this probe and therefore the breadth of the conspiracy to try to overturn that election. Boris Epstein is so basic and legal point person for trump informally for some time now, as he struggled to retain significant lawyers and in his post presidency, Bernie Kerik, of course, we know, was in the room at both the willard hotel, which is the command center across the street from the white house in the weeks after the two thousand and twenty election, as well as having time in the oval office, he was one of those was able to kind of freely come and go and was in conversations about ruse seizing voting machines. He was in the room when Michael flynn suggested that the military should put on the nation streets because a quote rigged election. That, of course, none of that true, but just goes to show here that this problem is

only widening and katy. I wanted to get you on this without its provisional lot that when their every time there seems to be a new deal, J step and there seems to be more momentum We should have run into that theory that sixty or so days out before an election. The d o J wouldn't do something that could be perceived as political. We know, trump's name is not on the ballot, but we also know he is the leader of the republican party it'd be political. How what is your sense of its people? You talk to. I know no decision has been made, but is that informal guideline front of mind for deal J or is it something that they feel like they need to go now? They will

The guideline is very front of mind particularly needs to beat these investigations because they are so sensitive. I would say that last week was probably the outside of what people would consider the period before the election, but also keep in mind. I don't think that we have any indication that the justice department is anywhere near charging. Anybody close to the former president, or even the former president himself, with the crimes around january. Six in particular, keep in mind if what they did last, week as gets. You know if they subpoenaed information for forty people. That's information that the department and its investigators now have to come through. Look at reed and try to cross, examine and try to cross references is going to take a long time. So I wouldn't say that were really close to charges. I wouldn't expect any charges before the election anyway because of this guideline, but even when out an election, I would say that there's probably more than two months of work to do and David Ignatius. I mentioned at the top of the show that we have yet more conservative lawyers coming out saying

donald trump, clearly violated the law. Former george w bush share a justice department employ John you who help right. The memo used to justify interrogation techniques after september eleven, the so called torture. Memo says that from actions concerning the classified documents, you took the moral logger work clearly against the law, speaking to the national conservatism conference, he said this quote. tromp is not allowed to have the records and keep them. He could get copies. Buddy can't keep them away from the archives. That's settled it is not whether trump violated the law. He did not whether the government had a legal grounds to search they get a search warrant. It does the question really whether he could be charged? is what is at stake and continued. The real issue, I think, for people on both sides should demises! This is

Good use of prosecutors, discretion of judgment to charge him. You said so, my was banned if you're going to go out for a president for the first time in american history for violating a law, think it should be something much more important than this slight, for example, being involved with the january six can spirits. David Ignatius. I I think many What would agree with John you there that vat, in the january six conspiracy, possibility of being part of of spirits he d commits addition would be is, is bad of a crime is of a president, a former president could commit, but the question is again: why, Will merit garland? What will the department of justice do you look at all of this activity and my gosh. It wasn't that long ago that people are saying merit garland, just didn't, have the stomach

to hold donald trump accountable. I dont think anybody saying that now they are not. Merrick garland has been slow, careful, steady, but linking he keeps moving forward. He does exactly what he told us a year ago. We would, which is to make case systematically, as a good prosecutor does to start at lower levels to get information use that information to get additional information. I find in my reporting that the number of republicans around trump who are now willing to talk about him about what happened is growing? a startling way. I want to ask a barber. Mc quaid lose a real legal experts, a question as we think what the just sperm might actually charge donald trump with on, to france. The documents case that model go and then the january sixth conspiracy case. I'm curious

about how you see justice framing a criminal charges that they might bring. What would be the products that they need to be combined. stuff to go and and and bring those cases. Obviously, there are very different cases, but to speak, fleda what a good prosecutor, what an general would need to have to go forward. Well, david in both cases, which you need is direct evidence of the knowledge and intent of donald trump, and I don't think it's in either or you could charged with both, though I think John, you makes a good point if you charge him first in the documents case does cause a distraction for the generous six case, which is by far the most if you can't case, but you don't have pick one you can charge both in many ways. You might have you, but I think what you would need in the documents case is evidence that now himself knew what was happening and directed others, and I think many of us out of court statements after that

what was executed tend to show that he did he's. He has not denied it. He's a user of arguments like the evidence planted and declassified, and not that gosh. I did know they were there, I'm so sorry, let's get this back, so I think but they still need to show his direct debit. And I think they can get there, but that's why additional info the nation, is necessary in the january six case. I think as their narrowing and on what happened at the willard hotel on january fifth, and talking to the all those witnesses around them the ability to determine donald trump. Tent with regard seditious conspiracy. Did he with the oath keepers and the proud boys we're going to attack the capital, and they were going to use physical force to try to stop the certification of that vote. I think that if they can, devilish those facts or that their revenues false electors to create subterfuge so that my pants could up That is a pretext for stopping the vote. If they can prove either of those things. I think they can charge

that case and its is therefore the finding if they can find it with these witnesses, they're talking to four who s attorney Barbara quaid, new york, times justice department, reporter katy banner, again some forty subpoenas and to search warrant issued by the justice department in just the last week, or so?

I know I talk about quickly. Those people that that have funded his campaign that funded even the primary The silicon valley tightened said he said he loved him and the area that he said he loved into He decided to become a politician yeah, so

oh peter tee, obviously gave him fifteen million dollars for the primary guides. The guy who downers job pinocchio gay fifteen million and the primary and then Colonel came in with thirty million dollars all of this money that much Mcconnell god or this buried all who off shore the jobs in ohio who made money as of now in all of these big trade deals that really lead to the death investment. The job lost the heart, the opiate addiction in ohio. That's the money that but Connell's. Using that try to buy the senate, see here and all higher and anyway We have two hundred and fifty thousand load dollar daughters. The organ go to timber r, o dot com. They help us out. We got oh dollar donors trying to combat this thing and where, when and by appoint or to hear there, but I think we're going when it because you so disconnected, you guys ran the piece about the ohio state game. The guy is a complete fraud, start

an opiate charity who starts a fake opiate charity to prey on people and hi J d vance does to talk about is the question: where is daddy vans he's not, It seemed to be really I'm paying that much do you get a sense No, I'm serious, listen! I you know I I know just talk mean you talk politician to politician form rouse member, that house formats, member People always ask me: how do you do that? How do you knock on people's doors all day? How do you go in and talk to him. dinner, whether when the right I loved, I, similarly, love that I considered it an honour when people would let me in their homes to talk about what mattered the most to them I know you're the same way, but this guy that you're running against it doesn't seem to even like this and by the way not just just me, people telling this topic

looking downers, say he's a worse and that they ve ever seen in his life, he hates being out there. He is shouts at people in meetings like What's his deal mare, what's one's own ideal I'm, not gonna, let him down on the cards you analyze about, not exactly sure. All I know is that there's one primary value that we have in ohio. You know well, you're, rich or poor middle class. You better be out. There grind it yeah we're in a we value, hard work more than anything else. You know somebody or smarter than others, but but everybody is expected to work hard. now? Those are the values, that's how we we were raised in ohio and it's a complete slap in the face. It took the whole samara finding new doesn't want to take the whole summer off. Everybody does single minds with a couple of kids your work, I travelled the state I meet factory workers, work and six seven days a week. In their rear ends for their kids for their family and

Someone run for the salad here who took the entire summer off, but why to do. One or maybe two events today, a day on a busy day in our we're brian and with five six events today started early morning like this today, so the real allowed is he's not gonna get rewarded. We just need the resources necessary to keep at it. You saw the ad, like my guys, it left hook, are doing a great with our adds, an and where we are in out there and people don't like them. We just gotta. We just gotta, keep the heat on them, but I just don't think he likes people. I think he wants to be called senator one day. You've done this long enough job, you know. There's people want to get in there trying to know people and there's some people that what the title and needs just a guy that wants the taiwanese abroad this meant to your point about how people feel about you and feel about ten events in the state of oh hi, others that part of that pull, that we show that had you effectively tied gets into favour ability. You are forty. Six favourable twenties

ex unfavourable he's forty two favourable forty three senor plus seventeen and that unfavourable. So I guess that leads me to a question of your message to republicans in the state of ohio, their people they well Ohio gone read now bright, they went plus seven or eight or whatever was fruit for donald trump. What is it message to ohio republicans in this general election. Who may look at JD vance's say I, like the ways run in the campaign. Maybe like the guy, giving you a luck. But I would say one I'm one of the most by partisan members of congress, the last two congresses I've been in the top ten percent of most bipartisan. I want to work ass, the I'll, lock the door as aren't right on everything and I'm willing to sit down and have conversations about how we can move out of this age of stupidity.

and into an age of reconciliation and reform. How do we fix all of these broken systems? Some of those answers will come from republicans, not not the extremists that we're dealing with every single day. We ve gotta, kill infant front that movement, but that in a work was normal mainstream. Republicans, I think that's gonna be really really because we have to reform the system. and I will tell em to like we gotta- get government out of our best as I'm all in on that you see the dogs decision, you see you know in florida where they're trying to punish businesses, J d advances all in on that point in businesses, because they don't necessarily have the business culture that these ideologues want them to have like you, governor overreach into the private lives of our of our citizens, like with the dogs decision getting where the birth control talking about nullifying marriages like that is way too much government in our Is this an arm download that, and I think it's important for us also to dominate

industries of the future. That means infrastructure. That means research and end. You know we have to talk about the fact that just spending money? Just spending money does not solve the problems. We have broken system, so we've got to fix the systems. I think that's going to be an era of reform that I would love to lead and be a part of, and I think it's important for this country has come out of the pandemic. So I'm I'm saying the exhausted majority Democrats republicans and independence against it. Stream must leading an era of reform. Conciliation. So we can heal this country and move into the future. And again I don't have a billion dollar donor here. find me. I need dollar people who can do that tim for a wage, dot, com and japan a couple a box and help us put this this extremist movements. So we can move. I would be in americans again pay a too quick questions and we ve got that we actually have some other stores we have to go to, but one of a massive do- the growing concerns about a police shortage,

I have asked democrats on the show before about the funding, the police and everyone that comes on his against funding the place, though some are not supportive of our men and women and law enforcement, as said as about, I personally would want them debate some Democrats, and so I want to. I want to ask you what here. The question about law enforcement, of course, get crazy extreme. Publicans and the house calling for the funding of the fbi, but but do you understand, do you their stand as a democrat vat. People are leaving law enforcement because they don't think that allow did officials have their back that they will see what the five percent, do the three percent do the one percent do they get picked up on on? cell phones and repeated on tv, a thousand times

ninety nine percent who were just their kids on the forehead good night, there, there, their wives or their husbands goodbye and go and often risking their lives at night. Protecting us that those people just don't feel like petitions have their back anymore, so their quitting You understand that you understand that crisis and you understand that law enforcement officers across amerika need all of our support. Thousand percent Joe and that's one of the frustrating, things you saw one of it, tvs and the ad had that they are not defined the police on the screen. When I threw the football at it, because we wanna, be very, very clear. That's that's that doesn't make any sense that crazy people need I'll be especially with what's going on in some of our cities? They want to pick up the phone. And call someone to come help them with a really really bad situation in those people. In

jobs are, as you said, they have kids, they have spouses, it's a dangerous job I did a ride along a month or two back just outside a date. In any time you pull somebody over at night. I get scary, you never know, especially in ohio when you can have it but it can have a gun in their car. We need or cops. We need better pay hops and we need to get rid of bad cops. I think that's a pretty simple thing that ninety five percent of americans would agree with. If you done something wrong, if you don't stop roth, you should be out and prosecuted, but I have cops in my district joe. They make fourteen bucks an hour to start mean it's crazy I mean so we ve got in that's why we put money into the rescue package first date, local government, so that they could beef up. You know some of the law enforcement on the ground. That's why I've brought back almost I have five, million dollars to wild to fund cops in technology and the equipment would need cause. You have to make sure that these communities are safe and ghana. J D vast you watch our polish,

eighty off, which helps these hop solve crimes and prevent drug again and and crimes he wants to. You know he has then wants nothing to do with the f b I's running around with marjorie tailored brain and these these other people who want to like punish, F b. I agents who keep us safe. It's crazy, the and that's what I mean when I say: exhausted: majority democratic republicans, independence bring back some freaking sanity, to the congo and so that we can move forward, and I can t China, it's gotta, be it's gotta, be united effort congress, and I know you're here and a lot of the campaign trail about immigration linked to the opium crisis that you ve been talking about. For a long time, the state of ohio, two million there will be two million arrests at the border. This year shattering a record a couple of days ago and meet the press. Vice president Kamel Harris said quote, We have a secure border. Do you agree with her?

now I realize I think we ve got still way too much that now coming into the country had starch and china goes to mexico. You know it. I know the answer Are there they're trying but were not anywhere close to where we need to be on the border right? I disagree with you know, what's going on with the title forty two right now to, I think it's important that we wish you're that out before we things easier. We need comprehensive immigration reform. We ve gotta haven't lee process on how we come in, but I've have a resolution. That says we need to designate that now as a weapon of mass destruction weaken marshall. All of the federal resources have a whole of government approach to keeping this junk out of our out of our communities and, oh, I was still suffering from that. Then again, you know J D, and started out as a fake opiate charity, where he brought in being farm ought to be the mouthpiece his charity. That was blaming the attics that that the debt purdue farmer people have done these opiates, I mean who does that? So? This

a big issue that I've been working out? We ve got, but we gotta how they all of them My approach designates outlaws weapon of mass destruction, increased border patrols and keep this junk out in nature. we note in the country- I think, that's again, that's something other than ninety percent of americans would agree. We gotta. Do a lot more. I on that silly with that comment, I know you got a fire up. The car had the trail. One last question: where do you think you'll be around seven o clock Saturday night, when Ohio state place toledo nodded Donald trump rally, I can promise you that while the jailer events campaign says he those great programmes when they kick off, he will be checking the score frequently take jag reason for hope, that rally and state game these camps, the great well because they they hit.

and push in the north east of the country, taking back more territory and driving russian troops into a chaotic and hasty retreat in his nightly address last night president's olenska said you could forces had taken back more than two thousand square miles of land had been under russian control just this month, and they see news has not been able to independently verify that exact figure. Though spokesmen for the ukrainian military says russian soldiers were surrendering on mass, as quote they understand the hopelessness of their situation. The mood was jubilant across the country. Is the ukrainian flag was raised over newly liberated territory's ukrainian special operations forces? Yesterday, release video what they say: their troops video showing their troops ambushes russian vehicle accordingly video captioning unit spotted the vehicle want the troll on the ambush was quote arranged quickly and successfully David Ignatius. Your latest piece in the washington post. This title have ukraine's offensive changes.

The equation for putin and the in it. You write this quote, Wednesday has refused to negotiate from weakness now, after seven punishing months, he is in a post of strength talking to his exuberant country. He speaks of liberating all of ukraine's territory, but he must know that is unrealistic for now and the moment might be approaching when olenska from his the dominant position opens the door to diplomacy. Even if the rush, scorn his gesture. It would reinforce the image that the landscape has the upper hand David? Let's start with the assessment of what's happened really just in the last few days and weeks or so, which is that They ve gone on this offensive. This counter offensive have the ukrainians and really pushed back the russian. Military into the east, all the way to the russian border. In some cases, how are they doing it?

willie they're, doing through meticulous planning the vote this morning that the ukraine and the ukrainian not err rewriting the history of the twenty first century. I mean it. They initially attacked in the south, trying to relieve pressure on the black sea area is moving towards a curse on port city in the south. Russians got preoccupied with that and then the ukrainians, with great finesse, move hard in the northeast towards the city of car keys, which the russians that had taken that area than the beginning days, the war had almost forgotten about it. And all of a sudden, an enormous see ukrainian advance mood in that area. Russians were taken by surprise, began a kind of power

our treat. Then the ukrainians moved across substantial amounts of territory that presents lansky claim on Sunday night. That's it's two thousand square miles if that's been occupied is extraordinary, but that some of the figures that I am hearing the two things think willie that are crucial about this. First, this in urge as ukrainians and there supporters in europe and america to believe that this war can have a successful conclusion that ukraine can take back its territory? Second, it presents vladimir putin in russia with a very difficult choice. This special military operations he likes to call. It is obviously visibly not going well russians watch tv. They they see these reversals, so Putin either has to define victory downward. He has to find some way to to to reduce his ambitions in ukraine, or he has to figure out a way to to escalate and punch

carter and that's the thing I think that's concerning officials in the Biden administration. What are the ways that putin increasingly backed against the wall might strike back to try to regain some advantage in a world where he really has lost the initiative, but it's been an extraordinary week for for people who watch the ukrainians fight so bravely. This just been a something remarkable to see the the the courage and determination and now the success on the ground. Where would they be? This has been really just been a colossal historic miscalculation by Putin. Now we're russian europeans announcing that they figured out a way to get through the winter effectively without russian imports, so exports so David. The question is how how is they're a negotiated settlement, Vladimir Putin's, not going to just say I made this historic gamble and lost, and and and

asked russia's economy, as you said, easier, got other options The question is: how do both sides get to the table when Ukraine has an upper hand, is does that go through China. Is it china that finally gives fruit in the message day wait. We need the wine this down and and let's, let's negotiate with the ukrainians and the americans to end this war The answers we ve just don't know he added, and I think it's premature to talk about negotiations at a time when ukraine is moving forward still aggressively on the battlefield whom my

be a possible mediator. The UN secretary general has had some surprising success and in negotiating deals to get ukrainian grain out of ports on the black sea. That's that's a possibility. We just don't don't know yet, and I think this war is going to go into next year before we see any real break and russia's willingness to consider the negotiations. But I do think that that if this is our point where ukraine has the upper hand. Ukraine didn't want to negotiate in previous months because they felt they were on their backs. What they don't want to negotiate from wheat now now they in a position of strength, and I think they look all the stronger if they say as the bite bite administration does. In the end, we need to have a negotiated settlement of this to this war, one which ukraine regains its territory regains its sovereignty. But but, as you suggest it's hard to see that moment,

then some additional changes on the battlefield so really. I wrote last week on the eve of this breakthrough for ukraine's counter offensive. The bite administration was feeling bullish about where things were in the success that ukraine has had and even caught them by surprise, though they do caution, there's a long way to go. They do suspect this war has months and months to go, but they made a key point here. Would this success here gives not just a victory for the ukrainians to rally around, but their allies

and europe, though this has made progress addressing the gas shortages it could face, this fall could still be a cold dark winter in europe and in the united states, as well as the mystery. She plans to ask for more money for ukraine. They want to be able to keep your republicans in line. There have only been a few lone dissenting voices, people say hey: why are we spending so much in kiev? Why are we not doing that here at home? They were fearful, though, that if this war had really turned into a difficult slog, those number voices would grow restoration. Fisheries. I speak to now think that this ukraine victory here. This pushback is gonna, keep them silent and they feel like to be able to keep this bipartisan coalition here at home and you're with european allies abroad or one of those critical voices inside russia by the way tend to be quiet, they're getting a little bit louder around Vladimir Putin. This goes badly for him. David Ignatius will be reading. Your piece in the washington post say thanks. So much david still ahead. Nbc is kinda.
