with the four trump campaign advisors you may recall. three of them convicted, and the report found no bias or crimes, but this all has cleared one person, carter page. when you compare the names listed in this lengthy report, flynn comes up about 40 times. paul manafort over 200. but department much justice investigators citing carter page, a whopping 614 times, which means page averages out to twice a page in the report over the last two years. he spoke with the fbi for over ten hours, another six hours with the house intelligence committee, a bevy of television interviews. what does carter page have to say now at this inflection point? well, this key witness and subject of the audit of d.o.j. staff, carter page is with me right here right now. one of his very first interviews since this whole report came out. thanks for sitting down with me. great to be with you again, ari. i m glad to have you back wherever the story goes. i ve got my report. it s a thick one.
going to walk through all of it with you, 9 democrats are building a case solely and exclusively on the president s actions to try to extort ukraine for help with his reelection. one article on abuse of power, one on obstruction of congress. what s going to happen, the judiciary committee will meet immediately to approve the articles, then it goes for a full vote on the house floor. i m going to take you through the evidence the democrats say they gathered which is essential to making this case. while that happened there s a flurry of other news, the d.o.j. clearing the fbi in the mueller report. they are continuing the attacks to undercut the d.o.j. findings . we have more on that as well as a special guest with inside knowledge. as the d.o.j. stands by the mueller probe, today of all days we saw the legal resolution of a key mueller witness, one of the final trump aides to be sentenced.
so what s going on? well, tomorrow is going to be a big news day in a lot of directions. the senate judiciary committee holding its first hearing on what i ve been holding up around here, the doj report that we discussed tonight with more than one angle. doj inspector harowitz testifying. i m actually going to be part of a large team covering it at 9:00 a.m. eastern. and also tomorrow a late night hearing in the judiciary committee because chairman nadler is actually going to hold an evening markup starting at 7:00 p.m. eastern to go over these articles of impeachment. obviously the beat goes right into 7:00 p.m. eastern. one more note, the beat podcast you can find anywhere where you get your podcast on apple and
surveillance orders. the errors were not political. he s referring to the fact that both things can be true. this is ainuance that can get lost. reading here from the report, 17, quote, errors or omissions in the carter page warrant application. that s not nothing. but also, quote, no intentional misconduct on the part of the agents. and as i mention, no bias. do you accept that both there were mistakes with you, but there was no larger anti-trump witch-hunt found in this report? well, i know there was a witch-hunt more broadly in terms of a lot of the direct collusion between outside actors and the fbi and d.o.j.. and we know this in terms that, you know, the significant discussion of fusion gps, et cetera, the dnc, and their direct involvement in this. i mean, this is clearly unprecedented in terms of serious election interference. and again i understand your view. do you accept that this report doesn t find an anti-trump bias
there is a lot of heat on attorney general bill barr. he has been trying to literally undercut his own doj s audit of the russia probe and take issue with the parts he happens to disagree with, something that we ve touched on tonight. but doing that has required some transparency, if you want to call that or at least openness to media interviews that are raising other damning questions including bill barr role in this ukraine scandal. mr. barr has not testified to congress or taken reporter questions on camera about the entire ukraine scandal which obviously mentions him and him driving his boss impeachment until well some new appearances today. were you ever asked by the white house to talk to anybody in ukraine about an investigation of joe biden? no. are you concerned that ukraine has a missing server from the hillary clinton e-mails? fortunately, i haven t gotten
