this guy, william barr has his fingers on so much of this. he controls the prosecutors that are prosecuting parnas, he controls even -- i mean, you look at the jeffrey epstein case he controlled the prison. he controls so much and he has so much power and trump as empowered him so much and he's deelting with various russian entities that we don't know that are murky. he has good reason to be afraid, no? >> he does, because here is the catch 22 for parnas. if he is actively involved with discussions with the prosecutors in new york to see whether he wants to come on board as a former co-op ray tor, a-- coope. those will remain secret so he wouldn't be able to tell his story publicly. that must be part of the motivation for getting his story out because think about it, if he had been dealing with the southern district of new york prosecutors behind closed doors, giving up bill barr, trump and others and all of a sudden something happened to him like happened to epstein, well, all of that information would then be put under wraps by bill barr th

parnas about attorney general william barr. he also makes some allegations about several other members of the cabinet. we'll talk about some of those tonight. and we're saving some of those to talk about tomorrow so we can do some additional reporting around them. but on top of all of that, as mr. parnas, you'll see, makes clear right off the bat, right at the start of our interview, he knows that in addition to all the things he is telling you tonight and that have been revealed in these documents in conjunction with the impeachment investigation, in addition to all of that he says he still he has yet more to share. all right. here we go. >> mr. parnas, mr. bondy, thank you both for agreeing to do this. i know that this is a leap of trust to speak publicly in this way for the first time. thanks to both of you for agreeing to it. >> thank you for having us. >> lev, let me ask you first, did you know that these materials that you had handed over to the intelligence committee were going to be released publicly last night? it's la

william barr, to this pointed, has prized his loyalty to the president over anything else. it is going to raise questions. it certainly gives democrats things to push. >>> so the breaking news just crossing the wires, if we have those, lev parnas, rudy giuliani's associate who's been indicted by the southern district of new york. they've called for the attorney general's recusal from the case and the broader investigation. let's watch some of rachel's pushing and probing around the attorney general's knowledge and role in the ukrainian pressure campaign in the interview with lev parnas. >> do you know if he was talking to mr. barr particularly about the investigations in ukraine? >> yes. >> he knew? >> he had to know. not only rudy giuliani. barr was attorney general barr was basically on the team. >> joining our conversation, former republican congressman, now an independent, david jolly, joins us. let me come to you because i think that the idea that lev parnas's credibility is on the line and the narrow question of barr is a false hood we could easily knock down with don

put william barr under oath. put rudy under oath. let's hear from the firsthand witnesses, put them all under oath and let's see what they have to say. joining me in new york tonight, congresswoman katherine clark of massachusetts. how are you? good to see you. >> good to see you. >> i guess i want to start with a question about the pelosi pause, as we have called it. was there controversy inside the caucus about it, leading up to it, during it and what do you think about it now? >> i think at this point in the impeachment process our caucus trusts in nancy pelosi. and really the hold up here was not with the speaker but with mitch mcconnell and we were in agreement with her decision to pause and make sure that we continue to get the truth and the facts before the american people. and the way we do that in the senate is to have a real trial. and people understand that. americans understand that a trial needs witnesses and documents. and that's what nancy was trying to do. and what has happened is we've had all this further incriminat

he became that powerful when he got william barr. >> that gets your attention as they say. with us for more tonight, maya wiley, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, now with the new school here in new york. and rick wilson, longtime republican strategist, co-founder of the lincoln project, a superpac created by conservatives with the aim of defeating trump and trumpism. his new book goes a long way toward that very idea. "running against the devil: a plot to save america from trumps and democrats from themselves." we welcome you both tonight. maya wiley, in normal times, would lev parnas have a lock cinch deal with the feds in new york? would there be an investigation launched as in do you hear what this guy is saying about people at the highest levels of our government? >> that's a hard question to answer quite honestly, brian, and here's what i mean by that. i don't think there's any question that william barr has earned himself an impeachment inquiry. so that's clear, and that starts from his misrepresenting the mueller probe report befo

parnas about attorney general william barr. he also makes some allegations about several other members of the cabinet. we'll talk about some of those tonight, and we're saving some to talk about tomorrow so we can do some additional reporting around them. on top of all of that, as mr. parnas you'll see makes clear right off the bat, right at the top of the interview, he knows that in addition to all the things he's telling you tonight and they've been revealed in conjunction with the documents in the impeachment investigation, in addition to all of that he says he still has yet more to share. all right. here with go. >>> mr. parnas, mr. bondy, thank you both for agreeing to do this. i know this is a leap of trust to speak publicly in this way for the first time. thanks to both of you for agreeing to do it. >> thanks for having us here. >> thank you. >> let me ask you first lev, did you know that these materials you had handed over to the intelligence committee were boeing going to be released publicly last night? it's landed wi

the new york city bar association asking congress to investigate william barr. trace gallagher is digging into the allegations. >> the six page letter from the bar association was addressed to party leaders in the house and senate asking them to investigate william barr's conduct saying his public statements threaten, quote, public confidence in the fair and impartial administration of justice. the letter points to four speeches and statements made by the ag in the latter part of 2019 including a speech in october at the university of notre dame where he praised the founders for believing in god and criticized those who threaten freedom of religion. >> the problem is not the religion is being forced on others. the problem is irreligion is being enforced, secular values being enforced on people of faith. >> he was plan for a speech he gave before a crowd of police officers where he called out activist district attorneys. >> district attorneys, social justice reformers and spend their time undercutting the police, letting criminals off the hook and refusing to enf

david rode, a fantastic piece in the new yorker, profile of william barr, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> ahead, how the impeachment changes the landscape of the trial expected to begin one week from today. marie yovanovitch's lawyer weighs in. we'll have that when we come back. come back >>> all right. we're coming to breaking news of the documents released by the house intelligence committee included as i said earlier in the show, exchange between lev parnas who transmitted it, robert f. hyde, congressional candidate who represents himself as a dcpr guru and fixer. they're having a text exchange that appears to be hyde representing to parnas that he has -- and i don't think he's in ukraine. i think he's in the u.s., although it's unclear. that he has some folks in ukraine who are like tailing the ambassador, marie yovanovitch. that reporting in real time about her movements through these third-party intermediaries that hyde has presumably hired. we don't know if any of this is true. could be completely a figment of hyde's imagination. the texts are unnerving. we have now a state

>> this is entirely speculative, it is targeted against william barr. remember in context that he is now the attorney general and jeff sessions recused himself from any participation in anything meaningful related to russia and this is entirely within william barr's court and we don't have anything wrong with the statute of limitations, and investigation we are not sure what the substance and nature of this is so i think the new york times piece, it's a political hit piece to frame the narrative, attack william barr up front and get the american people to have an opinion on this before we know the facts of the evidence and that's way too premature. >> with to respect my friend brad. there was classified information that was mishandled in some of comey's memos. attorney general william barr exercised his discretion not to bring charges. i think that was the right decision. i don't think there was a good criminal case there but that needs to be noted. >> it is a relevant fact. i want to ask about the development we have going on, parnas indicted, facing a

both secretary of state mike pompeo and attorney general william barr are now implying that the attack was part of a broader goal to deter iran's dangerous regime. that is quite different from the threat of an imminent attack. other than president trump's mention of a potential strike four u.s. embassies, the specific evidence the administration is willing to share is slim. anne-marie? >> naomi ruckham. very much. >> thank you. >>> 21 military students from saudi arabia were expelled from the u.s. overnight after an investigation into a deadly shooting at a pensacola naval base. the attack last month was apparently motivated by terrorism. three american troops were killed. katherine herridge has this report. >>> this was an act of terrorism. >> reporter: attorney general william barr said muhammad sayeed alshamrani was motivated by jihadist idealogy. >> the shooter posted a message on september 11th of this year stating the countdown has begun. >> reporter: the fbi investigation indicates that the shooter acted alone. however, 21 saudi nationals who trained at u.s. bases are being kick

it raises questions about william barr. one of the big questions about this whole thing is, what exactly has bill barr's involvement been? he gave this opinion that it didn't need to go over. he declined to investigate ukraine but there hasn't been much detail about what he's done. it also underscores the need to have john bolton testify. if they want to deny this, fine. put him on the stand. cross-examine him. let's see if it holds up. >> he has firsthand knowledge, served the president, is willing to testify and it's still a question here. it's interesting because the president, according to bolton's telling of barr's concerns, was giving the implication that he can quash doj investigations in effect as part of a transactional relationship with these world leaders. it's not the first time he did that. the president raised in public, maybe we can make that go away as part of the trade negotiations. that provides enormous challenges to the justice department. >> the bedrock of doj is independence. and the notion a president

what do you think is william barr's message? >> hopefully that the president of mexico will take president trump up on his offer to let america go in there and handle this. the reason this young man in broad daylight. they know cartels are running that country. they arrested el chapo's son. mexican law enforcement was forced to release him along with other members of the cartel. that wouldn't happen in the united states ever. melissa: i remember when the president said why don't we designate these cartel members as terrorists. was he offering drone assistance in terms of the drug cartel to the mexican government and is that a legal possibility? >> yes, it's a possibility. i think the president pushed the mexican government to let him help them. the cartels are more opportunity to work internationally. the down side is when you declare a faction inside terrorists, then of course they will say mexico is no longer safe to our country. you have to stop sending central americans back to mexico. melissa: do you think they would take t

but i have confidence in william barr and john durham. the inspector general's report will be very important but they are not waiting for the ig report. they are moving full steam ahead and we recently learned that durham has expanded his investigation, added additional personnel which suggests to me that he likely has already found evidence of potential crimes. >> guest: what is amazing when you read the book, you recollect the amazing path our country has been on. it seems during the obama years nothing leaked from this group, the deep state, the people in the intelligence community who no real dirt on us and our enemies overseas, they have real information and nothing on the hillary clinton emails, nothing on trying to stop him, nothing leaked but with donald trump there is a delicious leak including conversations with foreign leaders and others on a regular basis. why is that asymmetry -- >> guest: for the eight years of the barack obama administration the intelligence community, the fbi were all empowered. small group of unelected bu

ahead a damming allegation against attorney general william barr that sparked calls of his recusal. and devin nunes? remember him? he suddenly does remember speaking with old lev at the height of the pressure campaign. could one of trump's chief defenders come under scrutiny? defenders come und sercrutiny? good morning! oh no, here comes the neighbor probably to brag about how amazing his xfinity customer service is. i'm mike, i'm so busy. good thing xfinity has two-hour appointment windows. they have night and weekend appointments too. he's here. bill? karolyn? nope! no, just a couple of rocks. download the my account app to manage your appointments making today's xfinity customer service simple, easy, awesome. i'll pass. >> i've been here since the time of president ford. i have never, ever seen a report like this objecting so strongly to actions of a president in saying the president has to follow the law. it is a remarkable -- again in 45 years here, i've never seen anything like this. >> that was senator patrick leahy weighing in on the stunning news this morning that might hav

on sunday, the defense secretary said he's seen no such evidence and william barr tried changing it saying it was because of the long-documented terror attacks. >> i do believe that this concept of imminence is something of a red herring. when you're dealing with a situation where you already have attacks under way, you know there's a campaign that involves repeated attacks on american targets, i don't think there's a requirement, frankly, for, you know, knowing the exact time and place of the next attack and that certainly was the position of the obama administration when it droned leaders of terrorist organizations. >> a couple of things about that, joining me now is jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters. jeff, as you well know, it was the administration who raised the subject of imminence, that's the standard that they put out there, pompeo and of course the president himself, and expanded on it. if he can talk about it on fox, how can mike pence say we can't talk about what the justification is? the droning of terrorists is not the same as droning and killing a general who

that's not anything william barr has done. and let's just add because i can't let this show go by without adding it his statement to the federal -- about policing, that is unacceptable. >> it was a law enforcement honor, prize where you give that speech. >> and barr has long been a troubling -- more than troubling, an awful authoritarian pro-incarceration figure. but what he has done now is so beyond the pail that i agree we need impeachment investigation. and i hope congress investigates him. but also a real rethinking of the structure of power in the a.g.'s office and i remember this moment because it's actually so cheering how everybody was outraged. totally outraged. >> it's like you can't do that. >> you absolutely cannot politicize this, so i actually think that unfortunately this is an area where the norm has been so profoundly broken that we have to look towards 2021 and look towards the future and say we can't allow this kind of abuse to happen again because it so undermines the rule of law in this country. >> that's

lou: we are getting some indication the william barr of the justice department is not ready even though he has done absolutely nothing in those years as some form of investigator. you can style is at you wish. certainly not a successful one. listening with serious issues including as you say, whistleblowers, uranium one scandal still not any part of a meaningful investigation by the justice department. where are we? the idea that 145 million dollars changed hand for what is effectively 20% of america's uranium assets is a big damn deal by anyone's standard. >> there is a place where john durham may cross over into the huber atmosphere. it's on the question of did the cfius review learn that there was a criminal investigation showing that they were engaged in the united states owfnlt s. soil in bribery, kickbacks and the krupght of our transportation company. the just its department confirmed there was a warning to you cfius before they approved this sale. that could be an area where where john durham could look. lou: the cfius, the secretary of treasury and the secretary of state who wa

barr. watch this sound bite. >> you know, it was like being in the cut. i don't think trump is organized krie crime. i think he's like a cult leadertleader. there's a lot of republicans that would go against him. if you take a look, the difference between why trump is so powerful now, he wasn't this powerful in '16 and '17, he became that powerful when he got william barr. people are scared. am i scared? yes. i think i'm more scared of my own justice department than these criminals right now. >> a pretty strong allegation to hear him say that. what do you make about the statement about how powerful the president has become, specifically when he got william barr as an attorney general? >> parnas is invaluable for his political analysis or his surmise because of barr's involvement. he's volub that said, there is something to this. we've learned this morning about the comey probe, and there are a whole quartet of former enemies under investigation and he lamented, did trump again and again, wh
