handed over thousands of records to the committee. when we refused to meet with them, the house voted to refer hem to possible prosecution for criminal contempt of congress. truly the executive privilege that donald trump las claimed is his to waive, it s not mine to waive, not congress s to waive. that s why we filed the lawsuit to hopefully get 9 courts to weigh in. reporter: democrats pledging that their probably will not be impeded, stressing that hundreds have already cooperated. we won t stop fighting for democracy or rule of law. we re not going to back down. we won t be intimidated. the committee s efforts are being slowed down about some of they lawsuits, but some have already cooperated. mark meadows did turn over thousands of pages of texts and
realities arnold him as a way of forwarding his own ambitions. that missile that almost hit the japanese mainland was real. it s real, it went 3,000 miles in the air. it can travel long intercontinental distances. we better get some thinking into the white house somehow. maybe it has to be force fed by maddog mattis. up next, newly released court documents reveal president trump paid big money to settle a lawsuit brought by undocumented workers he hired back in the 80s. it s a story about illegal immigration and exploitation of scared illegal workers and ultimately is big coverup by this president and this is hardball where the action ist i can guide you in? no, thanks , santa, i got this. looks a little tight. perfect fit. santa needs an f-150. that s ford, america s best selling brand. hurry in today for 0% financing for 72 months across the full line of ford cars, trucks and suvs!
you mean an opportunity? they think that this is opening up a conversation. i think it s a real question of how much control over reality he has. this week in addition to being embarrassed by that botch sting over the washington post, james o keefe s tax return showing $5 million last year. i talked to a number of conservative operatives today and they think that this is wasted money and they re sort of embarrassed by this type of activism and this would be money better spent. i think the stingers were stung. i interviewed hillary clinton for my podcast. it came out yesterday. if you read her book, you know she doesn t like president trump. i asked her about why she thought it was important for her to talk about race during the campaign and particularly about president trump and she said, he was kind of an equal opportunity bigot. he went after immigrants and foreigners and was sexist and homophobic and obviously islam phob phobic.
