i want to commend our dedicated spence community, the department of defense, and members of our national security team throughout the government whose mi particular two will yous work over the course of many months ensured that this mission succeeded. this operation is testamentle to america's reach and capability to take out terrorist threats no matter where they try to hide anywhere in the world. i'm determined to protect the american people from terrorist threats. and i'll take decisive action to protect this country. and will continue working with our close allies and partners, the syrian democratic forces, iraqi security forces, including the kurdish peshmerga and more than 80 merms of the global coalition -- members of the global coalition to keep pressure on isis to protect our homeland. we remain vigilant and prepared. last night's operation took a major terrorist leader off the battlefield. and sent a strong message to terrorists around the world. we will come after you and find you. once again today we continue our own ceasing effort to keep the american people safe and strengt

they're smaller departments with fewer resources than the department of defense. considering the resources of the dod. should we look at ways the dod could take on a larger role. if so, what could that entail? >> yes, ma'am, thank you for the questions. it's a great point. dod has decades and decades of experience in biosecurity. that they've had to do to prepare for a war and protect war fighters. so, i agree, there's a tremendous number of lessons learned and research and efforts at the department of defense na can be learned by the domestic agencies like the department of homeland security and usda. i will say this though, while the technology, i think, would be helpful and the coordination would be great. applying some of these technologies in the homeland is actually, i think, one of the biggest challenges because while basic research is part of the solution, when you apply these technologies to train stations and subway stations and crowded places in this country. it's very, very different in terms of the way it needs to work and, for example, you know, you

following a series of new york times investigations revealing system flaws and department of defense mitigates and tracks civilian casualties secretary alston issued a memorandum directing the department to develop a civil home harm action plan. the memo comes in response to a recent study mandated by congress which found that department of defense has not adequately organized resource to sufficiently assess reduce and respond to o civilian arm incidents. at this point i'd like to turn to ranking member grassley for opening remarks . this hearing will cover issues related to the department of defense use of force in war on terror. this will include targeted killings and the use of drones. this hearing explores the matter that affect our armed services and our safety as americans. these are important issues and there are issues that are more appropriate to the senate armed services committee. now if the chairman new what i was doing in the 80s before he got here, he'd say you did a lot of investigation of the defense department leading to the passage of the false claims act so i am be

fake electors, using the department of justice, using the department of defense, using the department of homeland security all to secure his own power. it's just an extraordinary silence that we hear from that side of the hill right now. >> your reporting is the former chief of staff has testified to the committee. does that mean that mike pence is next? >> we don't know. mike pence's attorney has been in there. his former counsel was in there today. we don't know the answer to that. i think the wish on the part of the vice president, if i were to glean that from people familiar with his thinking would be that the people who worked for him would tell the story for him and there have he would not have to go in before the committee. obviously he doesn't want to do it. there are political problems with that. he probably wants to run for president. i don't think the committee will say sure. okay. people are scratching their heads trying to figure it out. i do believe that under subpoena, these people on the vice president's staff are going in and giving them very important information. th

resolution on the department of defense and services. we're joined by mike mccord, undersecretary of defense, general dave h. berger, commander of the united states marine corps, admiral michael gelday, chief of naval operations of the united states navy, general john w. raymond, chief of space operations for the united states space force. and general charles q. brourngs brown, chief of staff for the air force and general joseph martin, chief of staff for the united states army. i want to thank you all for attending and i would like to mention that chief army staff general mccondell is not with us because he is attending general honore's internment today. he is a remarkable leader and general martin i want to thank you for appearing on behalf of the army today. it has been the case far too often in recent years that the government once again is operating under a continuing resolution. today's hearing will explore the impacts of crs on our national security, particularly the problem that would be created by a year-long cr for fiscal 2022.

department of defense and agriculture and hhs and dhs. this bill has not been completed looking back at after action reports done in the years after covid-19 many of thosed challenges in response were identified prior act exercises and after action review. prior exercisesse and reports from events like ebola and others found that coordinating at the federal level in between the fence and the states with the challenge probably saw this to be the case in the covid response as it relates to supply-chain. the problem is these gaps were not close because nobody was accountable for closing them. and wound we will close all of them that we have to make sure the lessons learned from covid on the exercises in the future not forgotten. turning to dhs and the bio defense since 2012 we have reported on challenges that is a system to detect the newborn attackd . >> we found this faces a number of technology challenges with the inherent limitations of the technology and the uncertainty of combining these technologies for use in the domestic environment

this guy, this colon, is a civil lawyer for the department of defense right now. for an intelligence brigade. this is really scary stuff. these are people who have access to the deepest, darkest, important security secrets and information our country has. and they are throwing about this kind of stuff? this guy says that he has no idea how his name came on here? i think that's dangerous. >> daniel goldman, what should the justice department be doing with this memo tonight? they should be including it with all the other evidence that is now streaming out in the media and in public about donald trump's evidence -- donald trump's conspiracy with a number of different people who try to overturn the election. and we know that he was trying to do that because he had admitted it himself. last summer, lawrence, when you when i spoke, i suggested that this investigation was much bigger than january 6th, january six was more likely the culmination of a plot to overturn the election. we were seeing in this memo yet an additional data point, a new additional piece of evidence

six longest crs history of the defense department --. this should be unacceptable and not the new normal. it is hard to see this full impact was a -- and the inefficiency from looking from outside because the organization has of course adapted to its circumstances just as organisms do. nobody plans to enter into contracts in the first quarter of a fiscal year now because the odds we would actually be able to do so are so low. therefore no significant contract delays to report to you when we're under a cr. in addition to direct consequences of a cr, including the inefficiency and disruption to our people, and operations and reduction in the resources i have described, we should not forget that inflation is also eating into our funding while our funding remains on hold as mr. calvert noted. for example, i've had to approve two increases in fuel price this is year already. first on october 1st and second on january 1st forward to keep our working capital fund solvent. this has created a buildup billion and a half dollars to services for fy

department of defense regional sea level database. the report tells us that the united states is expected to experience as much sea level rise by the year 2050 as it witnessed in the previously 100 years, and it must serve as a wake-up call. maryland's urban and surbur ban centers in addition to our rural communities and coasts are in danger. the national league of cities and the u.s. conference of mayors in their brief state that baltimore, maryland, as well as other major cities, including washington, d.c., philadelphia, and boston, have all experienced significant increases in exposure to wildfire smoke that prevailing winds carry across the country. state and local governments are taking action. in their brief, they cite that in 12013 baltimore developed comprehensive responses for structure, building codes, and public services to threats from rising sea level, heat waves and storms. in central maryland, annapolis developed the first of its kind nation cultural resources hazardous mitigation plan in 2018 to mitigate climate impact

and i directed the department of defense to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties. unicef confirms that at least 6 children were killed and one girl was badly injured overnight in the border town of ad in the northwest of syria due to heavy violence. while the pentagon says 2 children and a woman were killed during the right, when the isis leader blew himself up, we spoke with juliet tumor, unicef advocacy, and communications chief in the middle east. who told us that the surgeon fighting is taking a deadly tall, especially on the most vulnerable when we have seen an escalation and violence and bad area on what this means is that children pay 1st and they pay most. and if we compare the number of casualties of children during the month of january in comparison to say, december last year, the number is so it's in the higher. and this has been the case since the beginning of the year. and this has got to stop children continue to be the 1st and most to pay in this 11 year long conflict. we call an old fight and all parties to the conflicts in syria to stop the fighti

the first directing the department of defense to seize the machines. the second directing homeland security to do it. and had they been issued, it would have caused a crisis never before seen in american history by directing military and federal agents to seize voting equipment for political purposes. "the new york times" is reporting that the then president himself was involved, and i quote here, "president donald j. trump directed his lawyer, rudolph w. giuliani, to make a remarkable call. mr. trump wanted him to ask the department of homeland security if it could legally take control of voting machines in key swing states." now, sources are saying that the idea came from two retired military officers, former trump national security adviser michael flynn and army colonel phil waldron. but it's not clear who wrote the orders. and today another top aide to the former vice president, mike pence, greg jacob, met with the january 6th committee. joining me now to discuss all of this, cnn's senior legal analyst and the former u.s. attorney preet bharara. he

the first one directed the department of defense to seize these machines. the second one directed the department of homeland security to do so. had those orders been issued, it would have been an unprecedented use of military and federal agents. "the new york times" reports that donald trump himself was directly involved. quote, president trump directed his lawyer, rudolph giuliani, to make a remarkable call, to ask the department of homeland security if it could legally take control of voting machines in key swing states. end quote. sources say the idea was the brain child of two retired military officers, former trump national security advisor michael flynn and army colonel phil waldron. >> it's not clear who wrote those orders. we do know that at one point, giuliani approached ken cuccinelli, second in command at dhs at the time, about seizing voting machines after the election. cuccinelli pushed back saying homeland security had no authority. cuccinelli has said the conversation never developed to the point of talking about an executive order. cnn has a

and i directed the department of defense to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties. unicef confirms that at least 6 children were killed and one girl was badly injured overnight in the border town of asthma in the northwest of syria due to heavy violence. while the pentagon admits 3 civilians were killed in the operation of videos emerging of what's said to be a helicopter, us commanders were foreseen, blow up during the re to you can see what is left here. all of it, american officials deny though, that it crash the was shut down and they say that the crew is safe. ne, mark as the f. as more on the us operation in syria. locals have described these speech battle that took place at the one a m, just after midnight, syrian thought, and that lasted for hours and in which, presumably these half a dozen children as well as for women, were killed as well as the leader of isis. a boy, abraham, me al, has she, me, i crazy. she locals. describe how helicopters hovered in the air. soon as i left them, there were helicopters flying at low altitude, about 4 or 5 aircraft. then

investigation of the defense department leading to the passage of the false claims act. i am being a little inconsistent but i do say. i want people to know. >> thank you. >> there are things within the heart of our jurisdiction that we should hold hearings on. i know the chairmann and i and many members of this committee are concerned with the growing spike inio violent crime includg murders and attacks on police. the administration has acknowledged that violent crime is up and unhealthily tried to pivot to gun control is only response. the top priorities of the administration and the justice department will include targeting legal gun sellers with no evidence that they significantly contribute to compensations or crimes. ghost guns form a significant cornerstone of the president's policies, ghost guns are connected to a fraction of 8% of the murders occurring in this country. the president strategy is woefully inadequate to address the spikes and murders and police attacks, it will do nothing to stop people from being pushed from being pushed into the front of a subway

one directing the departments of defense and the other homeland security to seize voting machines in states trump lost. rudy giuliani approached dhs but was told the department didn't have that authority. as for dod, giuliani's attorney said he shot the idea down. the plan to seize voting machines just one of many investigative threads for the committee. the committee combing through a trove of documents obtained from the trump white house, some of which the national archives say were torn up by trump and had to be taped back together. now trump is calling for protests against the groups investigating his role in the lead up to january 6th while promising pardons for the rioters. >> if i run and if i win, we will treat those people from january 6th fairly. we will treat them fairly. >> an opinion the republican leader in the senate, mitch mcconnell, disagrees with. >> my view is i would not be in favor of shortening any of the sentences for any of the people who pleaded guilty to crimes. >> trump's actions drawing a strong rebuke from members of the committee. >> i think that it tell

. >> in the story it indicates trump was presented with this idea of using the department of defense which most people have we've spoken to experience with the department of defense would know it's not possible. finally he calls rudy giuliani and giuliani says unless there's evidence that a power interfered in the election there's no chance the military could have any role in this whole thing so according to this article it makes the case that she thinks the chinese and the venezuelans and others were involved, but in the end, donald trump then direct giuliani to call the homeland security department and even -- the dhs says we can't do this. the bottom line is this is all stuff that donald trump is still talking about. he talked about it last night in texas, he talked about it on saturday night. he's not creating a lot of space between himself and its narrative. >> yeah, on the one hand it's not terribly surprising that trump is acting this way because today or yesterday he was saying the former vice president of mike pence should have overturned election but on the other hand when

s. department of defense spokesperson claims there are quote, strong, strong indications. american forces, schools know civilian deaths. i think though, the pentagon was willing to investigate with juliet to man eunice as advocacy and communications chief in the middle east. who told us the surgeon fighting 2nd and deadly toll, especially on the most formidable. when we have an escalation and violence and bad area, and what this means is that children pay 1st and they pay most. and if we compare the number of casualties of children during the month of january in comparison to, let's say, december last year, the number is so it's in the higher. and this has been the case since the beginning of the year. and this has got to stop children continue to be the 1st and most to pay in this 11 year long conflict. we call an old fight and all parties to the conflict in syria to stop the fighting for the sake of serious children and its future. meanwhile videos, most of what is said to be the helicopter, us commanders were forced to blow up during the right. you can see what remains
