crimes. take us through why rudy giuliani would admit these lies. is it too get rid of the discovery that the fox executives went through? it is a staggering stipulation to make that the president continued to assert more broadly about election to nihilism. and specifically about the goings-on in georgia. there are three explanations. the first is that the explanation is what giuliani has given. efficiency and resources wanting to get to the beef of the case and move over to a state where various motions can be made. that is not the assertion and strategy that you would pursue if you had meaningful evidence. you do not have any evidence
what people inside the inner circle of trump s campaign were saying to each other and giuliani. moving to a place where motions for the conclusion of the case is going to happen more quickly. it puts giuliani in a position where he cannot argue these things if they were true because they cannot demonstrate from the evidence that they are false. he is now in a position where what he can argue is that he told these false and defamatory lies because i have ace free- speech right to do so. how does that play with jack smith? they were very careful in this most recent filing that they are conceding these things to this suit. for purposes of the civil defamation suit. there are other moving parts in georgia. the ways that these will
working. from sunrise to sundown. that is such a thankless job. thank you so much. that is it for me today. thanks for being here. deadline white house starts right now. right now. hi, everyone. there is a lot of news today. we will cover all of it. key players, we are looking at you, rudy on the january 6th attack on the u.s. capital. he admitted to lying about georgia election workers that were covered during the conspiracy theory. they were caught up in and harassed because of those conspiracy theories about their role in the 2020 election. we start today with a tumultuous day in court for
court sanctions against powell for making entirely baseless claims and frivolous allegations of widespread voter fraud. in march ellis was censured by a judge in colorado for making false claims on twitter and to nationally televised audiences that undermined the american public s confidence in the presidential election. the news today that we covered in the last hour, giuliani is not contesting, in other words, he s now confessing that his statements about georgia election workers, ruby freeman and shaye moss were lies, only further underscores the misconduct by these lawyers and the fact that it s finally catching up with them. beyond those three there s, of course, the chief grand pooh-bah, john eastman, the author of the memo that falsely claimed mike pence could stop the electoral certification. he s currently facing potential disbarment in california. there s jeffrey clark, the former doj official who trump wanted to and actually did for a few hours make acting a.g.
things that they were doing when they were scheming not only to use the fake electors but also that episode where they attempted to weaponize the department of justice when jeffrey clark proposed sending out the letter to the states. he had marked up one for georgia as a prototype suggesting to them that they reconvene to select alternate electors because of fraud. it is, number one, it was false, number two, he knew it was false and, number three, it is so contrary to the way the justice department acts in terms of deference to the state federal divide in the law as well as different branches of government. the idea that the justice department is telling the legislature of a state what to do is unthinkable so i think for his conduct, it s hard to imagine that he doesn t get caught up in that conspiracy to defraud the united states. same with john eastman. you know, he is the architect of the scheme of the he s got a plan a and a plan b involving mike pence.
