Its just some of what Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his family have endured just for standing up to trumps lies about the election. He is my guest tonight. Lets go outfront. Good evening, im erin burnett. Outfront tonight the breaking news. Cnn is learning just how broad the Trump Justice departments subpoena to apple was. They demanded 73 Phone Numbers and 36 Email Addresses. We are just getting this information right now from apple and just learning that the Doj Under Trump subpoenaed microsoft as well for the data of a Capitol Hill staffer. This all comes after the revelation that the Justice Department subpoenaed apple for data from accounts belonging to at least two democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee, congressman Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell as well as their staff, family members, even a minor. The goal was to track down who was leaking classified information about contacts between trump associates and russia. And the whole investigation was kept secret. Apple said ordinarily they would tell people if this hadnt but they couldnt because there was a Gag Order. It was renewed three times. Three times. Three years. Tonight democrats are demanding more answers. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer And Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin ordering former attorneys general Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions to testify. Adding if they refuse, they are subject to being subpoenaed and will be compelled to testify under oath. Cnn is learning tonight that former Attorney General Bill Barr pushed investigators in the doj to quickly complete Leak Investigations, bringing in outside prosecutors that raised eyebrows in the doj because the probes were not moving quickly enough for him. However, barr is trying to distance himself from this Data Seizure from the congressmen and all of this apple people. In a Phone Interview with politico, the former Attorney General said he didnt recall getting briefed on the subpoenas there. While he was Attorney General he was not aware of any congressmens records being sought in a leak case. There are many Questions Tonight but one thing is certain, former President Trump used the department of justice to go after his list of enemies. Like Adam Schiff. I think Adam Schiff is the biggest leaker in washington. This total maniac, shifty schiff, hes a total maniac. Little Adam Schiff, what a crooked politician. Hes a corrupt politician. Trump also has lashed out repeatedly at swalwell, calling the congressman his insult, a loser. News of the secret Record Seizure also comes after were learning the Trump Justice department had collected data of reporters here at cnn, The New York Times, and the washington post. Those organizations like Schiff And Swalwell have of course been at the Receiving End of trumps personal attacks. The media is on the oppositions partys side. And i actually said to myself, i say they treat me so unfairly. It appears, this is very hard to see this in any other way, trump was using the power of the government to investigate his socalled enemies. That is completely unamerican, a president , the executive branch, is not allowed to use the government to go after personal enemies. Its not how this country works it is not how the system is set up, no President Should do it. Evan perez is live outfront in washington. Apple now speaking out on this. Apple, the company whos big Advertising Campaign is based on privacy. What are they saying tonight . Well, the portrayal that we have from this very extraordinary statement from apple is not normal that you see these statements from companies that are subject to these orders, erin. What it gives you this impression is that the government was going on a Fishing Expedition. Its an extraordinarily broad demand. As you mentioned, 53 73 Phone Numbers, 36 emai were the targets of this request. And whats more, they were asking for data going back to the inception of the accounts, all the way to the present time when they received the subpoena. The subpoena was received in february of 2018. Again, that is an extremely broad request for all kinds of data about who these the owners of these accounts were communicating with. And what apple said as you mentioned, they not only got the subpoena, they also got a nondisclosure order, a Gag Order, which said they could not disclose this to the customers and renewed it for three years before just before President Biden took office. Suddenly it appeared that the Justice Department lost interest. We also heard from microsoft saying that they received a request from the Justice Department as well for data belonging to a congressional staffer. In the case of apple, we know that at least two members of congress, we also know staffers and some of their family members, including one teenager, was part of this request. So, you know, its pretty stunning. Its stunning what apple is saying. One thing you just said, they were requesting emails, information from February 2018 back to the origination of the accounts. That could be a decade or more. Its incredible just to think about what that could mean. To the point youre making about how broad it was, i just want to underscore it. Evan, i know youve been talking to sources and we hear barr distancing himself. Do you have any Idea Tonight who ordered this investigation . Yeah, this is a baby thats an orphan. Nobody wants to take ownership of this. I think thats the reason why you saw today merrick garland, the Attorney General, and lisa monaco, the Attorney General, ask for this to be veinvestigat by The Inspector General and that now is under way. From people that i talked to, Bill Barr, the former Attorney General, has told people that he had no idea that this had been done because this was done back in 2018. He takes office in 2019. It is true that once he took office, he was very much focused on trying to get some of these Leak Investigations completed. But according to someone familiar with his thinking, he never got an instruction from President Trump. He says that, you know, this was never discussed with the president. All right, evan, thank you very much. I want to go now to democratic Congresswoman Jackie Speier because she sits on the House Intelligence Committee obviously with mr. Schiff and swalwell. So, congresswoman, we know the subpoenas sought information. This is news were just getting right now literally coming in. 73 Phone Numbers, 36 Email Addresses. Apple said it informed affected people on May 5th after the Gag Order which had been renewed year after year finally wasnt renewed. Do you know for sure at this point whether you were targeted or not . Well, i dont know for sure, but to my knowledge i was not targeted. If we received an email from apple that i saw it as spam and discarded it, maybe i was, but i doubt it. But what it does show us, erin, is that this was such a widespread investigation, unrelated even to when these members served in congress. They were going back to the initiation of these emails and these Phone Numbers. So there is two violations here and well finding out very soon whether or not the president , William Barr and others were engaged in a constitutional denial of rights for members of congress. First of all, it is a coequal branch of government. Theres Separation Of Powers in the constitution. There is a provision to make sure that a vindictive judiciary or a vindictive president Cannot Take Action against congress. Secondly, theres the Speech And Debate clause, which gives members immunity in their work. They can speak on the floor, they can be factfinding, and not be subject to subpoenas. So the fact that they went to a Grand Jury, not to a judge to issue these subpoenas is telling, because the Grand Jury is private. Theyre made up of civilians, not necessarily lawyers at all, and so the questions that might be asked by a lawyer or a Judge Arent asked under those circumstances. Yeah, right. Which is obviously crucial given what youre saying. And also given the fact as i keep saying now weve learned from apple just now that this goes back to the beginning of whenever these email accounts started to exist, right . So they were trying to get information of whomever Adam Schiff or Eric Swalwell and others were communicating with over years and years and years. One thing im curious about, though, congresswoman and maybe you can help me on this. We understand Chairman Schiff and others were notified in may that their information was collected. And that according to Apple Tonight May 5th. This is all just coming out now. Did he tell you at that time or do you think he should have told the committee sooner given the gravity of what were talking about . He did not tell us until today. We didnt know about it until it broke Last Night in The New York Times. And i think he recognizes that the Committee Members should have been made aware of it before. It is fundamental to the operation of the congress that there be this independence, and the fact that this went on you know, it speaks to President Trumps Banana Republic Outlook on what he was running. He ran the country like he ran his business, like he was an autocrat, like he had total control. To your raising his name, do you think the order to do this came directly from Donald Trump, or do you think it was more likely that people were doing it because he made it very clear through some of the public statements i showed and private conversations that this is what he would want . So we know what his Modus Operandi is. Hell go to a thirdparty until he gets results. If he doesnt get results, hell go directly. So he had placed people in the Justice Department that would be his lap dogs. And it was in fact a violation of his obligation to recognize that the Attorney Generals office was not his private attorney and that it belonged to the people of this country. So well find out. I mean were finding out more and more information as the day goes on. I was under the impression it was only 12 people. Now it appears it was much more than that. So this was calling it a Fishing Expedition is almost too benign. This was a wholesale effort to intimidate and bring down the chair of the committee. Congresswoman, i appreciate your time. Thank you very much. Thank you, erin. Hearing Congresswoman Speier, i want to go to daniel goldman, who was counsel for democrats during President Trumps first impeachment also the u. S. Attorney for the southern district of New York. So you know all the rules here. Let me just ask you about what were finding out tonight. Apple gets the subpoena from the doj on february 6, 2018. 73 Phone Numbers, 36 emails. Were finding out microsoft gets one. We dont know if there are other although apple is clearly saying tonight they believe that similar requests were sent to other technology companies, plural, Internet Service providers, plural. Do you think that we even know at this point how many people were targeted, who was targeted in what way . No, im sure we dont know Everyone And Apple probably doesnt necessarily know everyone. I mean one of the big questions to me is where did those numbers and those emails come from . The department of justice would need and the fbi has access to a lot of them, but not all the time would they understand different family share, childrens or parents. We dont know how wide the net was cast. And i, having some experience working on that committee and understanding some of the issues that went on in that congress, that 115th congress, during the course of the russia investigation, we know about Devin Nunes Midnight Run to the White House. And i was privy to witness some other some other efforts by republican Staff Members that were very suspect. Id be very interested to know whether any republican Staff Members of the House Intelligence Committee was the source for some of those numbers and some of the information that underlied the subpoena. Thats a really im really glad you raise this point. Well, they asked for this. Youre saying where did they get the information to ask for . Im not using the word legally but collusion, cooperation. What do you make of the point that Congresswoman Speier was making, do you think this was significant that they went to a Grand Jury where there would be people that werent lawyers and wouldnt know this was out of line necessarily as opposed to going to a judge. Does that signal that the doj knew this was bogus . Well, they had to get a Gag Order from a judge, so they werent evading a judge entirely. Id love to see the application for that Gag Order as well because that would have to outline some of the evidence that they have supporting a Gag Order, supporting their subpoena. I want to caution everyone, though, it is not illegal on its face for the Justice Department to subpoena records from congress people. I understand and worked very closely with Congresswoman Speier and i understand why she would be upset about this from a separation of Powers Angle. What is problematic from a separation of Powers Angle is not that there was a subpoena. Chris collins, the representative from New York who was convicted of insider trading, duncan hunter, there are members of congress that have been convicted of various crimes, Corruption And Insider trading. But what really gnaws at me about this one and that differentiates it is that this is a highly suspect Leak Investigation that ultimately yielded nothing and so what is the basis, what is the predication for issuing that subpoena . That is an open and very important question because if there wasnt much of one, then this really does turn into a political Banana Republic Type of effort to smear rivals of the president. Right. For a president to take out his enemies using the apparatus of the wheels of justice. Thank you very much, daniel goldman. Thank you. Next, why this exchange between then Senator Kamala Harris and Bill Barr is taking on new importance. Has the President Or Anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone . Um, i wouldnt i wouldnt yes or no . Breaking news.

Tonight the White House weighing in on the news that former President Trumps Justice Department subpoenaed apple and also microsoft for data for members of Congress And Staff and family members. Let me be absolutely clear. The behavior, these actions, the president finds them absolutely appalling. He ran for president in part because of the abuse of power by The Last president and by The Last Attorney General. So just how much of Trumps Bidding did Bill Barr do . Paula reid is outfront. Reporter William Barr was one of former President Trumps most loyal advisers. We have a great Attorney General, and hes working very hard. Reporter but lawmakers, judges and former justice officials have all accused the former Attorney General of wielding his power to help his former boss. Amplifying political talking points. I guess you could i think theres spying did occur. I think what he said is absolutely true, there was absolutely spying into my campaign. Reporter and spinning the results of the mueller investigation. No evidence of the Trump Campaign Collusion with the russian governments hacking. Reporter even Robert Mueller himself wrote to barr complaining that he failed to fully capture the context, Nature And Substance of the investigation. Barrs predecessor, Jeff Sessions, was repeatedly attacked for not protecting the President S interests in the russia probe. He took the job and then he said im going to recuse myself. I said what kind of a man is this . Reporter barr was accused of trying to even protect the President S associates, like Michael Flynn and roger stone, who were both charged in connection with muellers investigation. I agree, the President S friends dont deserve special breaks, but they also dont deserve to be treated more harshly than other people. Reporter former President Trump repeatedly called for investigations into the officials connected to these probes. Somebody has to get to the bottom of it. Reporter barr repeatedly tapped prosecutors to review issues of political significance to the president , including tasking u. S. Attorney John Durham to look at the origins of the russia probe. In may 2019, barr was unable to answer whether the president or any other White House officials had directed him to pursue investigations into specific individuals. Attorney general barr, has the President Or Anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone . Um, i wouldnt i wouldnt yes or no . Could you repeat that question. I will repeat it. Has the President Or Anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone . Yes or no, please, sir. The President Or Anybody else. Seems youd remember something like that and be able to tell us. Yeah, but im trying to grapple with the word suggest. I mean there have been discussions of matters out there that they have not asked me to open an investigation perhaps they have suggested. I dont know. I wouldnt say suggest. Hinted . I dont know. Inferred . You dont know . That exchange is taking on new significance now that we know the Trump Justice department sought to and or demanding that barr and Jeff Sessions come back and testify about those subpoenas and Leak Investigations. If they refuse, democratic lawmakers say they will issue subpoenas but that will require the support of at least one republican on the panel. Paula, thank you very much. I want to go to john dean, white House Counsel for former president richard nixon. Also the author of authoritarian nightmare, the ongoing threat of trumps followers. John, from Jeff Sessions to Rod Rosenstein and Bill Barr, one thing was consistent across all of them. Donald trump did everything he could to use the Justice Department for his personal aims, to fight his own political wars. It certainly was. And i must say that a lot of people are comparing that with nixon. Nixon didnt have that kind of department of justice. I was just thinking as you were doing the Setup Piece that during the worst leak of Nixons Presidency was the socalled pentagon papers, a massive leak of classified documents. I got a call from the Oval Office the day after he learned that and could the department of justice bring a criminal action for this . Called over, found out the short answer was they could, but they wont. So Nixon Couldnt use the department as he wanted to. So in a sense, what youre saying is, or maybe not in a sense, youre saying this goes beyond what nixon did . It is beyond nixon, yes. Its nixon on stilts and steroids. So, you know, what do you make of how direct trumps involvement in this was . We know barr was happy to do Trumps Bidding many times, right . We heard all of that in paulas piece. At The End of his tenure, though, barr did stand up to trump in some ways. Trump pushing the Big Lie the election was stolen from him. Barr eventually said we have not seen fraud. And barr then resisted pressure to have John Durham speed up his probe into the russia investigation. Trump wanted that out before the election, kept pumping it, and barr slowed it down. So, you know, im just raising the question here of is it more nuance than it appears to be in terms of who was the one doing trumps either explicit or implicit bidding . Well, its Obvious Early On Barr was very willing to do his bidding. The memo he wrote to get the job says im ready to execute your presidency like a unitary Executive Presidency should be, which means no bars hold, go anywhere you want to go, youre the king. And he did that. Its quite clear he didnt have to be told on many things. We now know there are countless examples of norms he was willing to break. At The Endi, however, He Realizd that this may be too far. He probably saw the handwriting on the wall before the rest of us that this man was never going to concede and he wasnt ready to go there. But i think Bill Barr has to testify. Im surprised the department of Justice Hasnt come out with a statement, been a little more transparent on this. I hope theyre getting their act together, because this is going to be very troublesome. My Twitter Feed is just blazing with people disappointed with justice and their response to this so far. All right, thank you very much. I appreciate your time, john. Thank you. Next, breaking news.

Russian president Vladimir Putin speaking out during an interview with Nbc News ahead of his summit with President Biden. In this interview, just crossing now, he compares biden with former President Trump. Translator i believe that former u. S. President , mr. Trump, is an extraordinary individual, talented individual. Otherwise he would not have become u. S. President. Hes a colorful individual. President biden, of course, is radically different from trump because President Biden is a career man. He spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics. Think of the number of years he spent in the senate. A different kind of person. Its my hope that, yes, there are some advantages and disadvantages but there will not be any impulsebased movements on behalf of the sitting u. S. President. When asked what his message is for putin, biden telling reporters, quote, ill tell you after i deliver it. Phil mattingly is outfront with biden in england. Theyre both sending messages ahead of this highstakes meeting. Bidens message is im going to be quiet and putin is choosing to do something he hasnt done in several years which is actually to come out and put words out there. Reporter yeah, look, i dont think theres any question about it. A little Highstakes Kind of Geopolitical Gamesmanship going on ahead of a high stakes meeting. Whether its the President Staying quiet to some degree but his top advisers making clear hes going to be very clear and very direct on issues of importance to the u. S. That may put the president of russia in a bad position, and Vladimir Putin lavishing praise on the President S predecessor or taking further action with the russian court designating as an Extremist Group led by the Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny. Theres no question theyre Laying Groundwork here. Heading into this meeting theres no sense of certainty whether there will be any outcome whatsoever and the thats an important point. When you talk to u. S. Officials about what theyre hoping to get out of this meeting, they dont think theres going to be big deliverables or gamechanging for the relationship and dont necessarily think thats the intent of this meeting. Instead its to put the two men in a room, let them talk Face To face. Certainly there will be disputes in areas where they disagree. But whats most important for u. S. Officials and President Bidens top advisers right now is to get some sense of a Road Map forward. They consistently talk about stability, predictability with the relationship, something that doesnt exist right now. Thats what they want more than anything else. Whether they get it, well have to see in geneva in a couple of days. It is interesting to see this positioning. We havent seen anything like this in a long time. Certainly ever when it comes to u. S. Press and putin speaking out ahead of the summit. The Kremlin Spokesman spoke to our Matthew Chance and he accused the u. S. Of not cooperating with them. On things like cyber crime. Which is an incredible thing to say. It takes something incredible, right . Three recent major cyberattacks on the u. S. All tied back to russia. Matthew chance is outfront. Matthew, that is a remarkable comment from the Kremlin Spokesman. I know you discussed several important issues with him, including the case of Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny. What else did he tell you . Reporter a remarkable comment, erin, but not an entirely unexpected one given that the kremlin and Vladimir Putin is going to this summit with President Biden with absolutely no intention whatsoever to change his position on any of the outstandingish issues between t two countries, whether thats Alexei Navalny and the crackdown on dissent here in russia or the Military Buildup in ukraine and the Threat Russia poses to that country or whether its cyber warfare or any of the other issues that are being discussed. The russians are going there, they say, to explain the situation, not to negotiate it, not to discuss it. I put it to Dimitri Peskov, his spokesman, the fact there wasnt going to be a joint News Conference at The End of the summit, which would be usual, and something the russiansed in they set out on this journey developing this summit was a major setback for russia. One of the reasons they wanted the summit is to show Vladimir Putin on an international stage sharing a platform with the u. S. President. But the kremlin pushed back on that saying that was not the reason that they were having this summit at all. Take a listen to what Dimitri Peskov had to say. The state of relationship between our two countries and a critical level of our relationship that demands a summit between our two countries because this is the only way to this is the only way to arrange an evaluation of the situation, of our relationship, to prevent further further degradation. Reporter as to what can be achieved, the russians and kremlin saying dont get your hopes up or make expectations too high. Matthew, thank you very much. Next, the family of Georgias Secretary of state enduring Death Threats because of trumps Big Lie. Secretary raffensperger is next. And a new York City mayoral candidate doing damage control.

Trisha raffensperger is the wife of Georgias Secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger and she is breaking her silence to reuters, sharing some of the disturbing and horrifying threats that her and their family has endured all because her husband spoke the basic truth, stood up to Donald Trump and his Big Lie that the election was stolen from him. Said facts about what happened in georgia. Outfront now, Brad Raffensperger. Secretary, i appreciate your time. Frankly, im sorry to be speaking to you under these circumstances. But it takes a lot of bravery and its so important to speak out about it. I mean why is trisha deciding to tell us all of this now, to share these threats publicly . Well, i think it was helpful really for her to do that probably to get it off her chest but then also just to let people know that its not just her, its Election Workers, people all over this country, people sometimes married to an official, but sometimes its the Election Worker themselves. At The End of the day, we need to get the message out that this is not acceptable. This is not acceptable behavior to threaten the wives, the children, the family of people that work for the government or even the government workers. They didnt sign up for this. Theyre employees. And i dont believe that elected officials sign up for these Death Threats either. Its time that elected officials on both sides hold our sides accountable. If youre on our side of the aisle, on the right side, we need to hold our people accountable and we need to clean up our backyard just like the left needs to clean up that backyard. Everyone wants to talk about the other persons backyard. We need to clean up our own backyard. We need to start having honest discussion and start putting integrity not just back in elections but also in our elected leaders. So, you know, trisha talks about how your family actually went into hiding, secretary. This is incredible. Again, i know its hard to share it, but i think it is so powerful. You actually had to go into hiding in late november. Intruders broke into the home of your daughterinlaw. That same Night Members of the Oath Keepers were found outside your home, so they were actually there. Weve never known any of this before. This just im raising this point because this isnt just threats, this is actually showing up. What else can you tell us about this . It must have been terrifying. Well, at the point we realized we didnt know how many people were going to show up that weekend, but seemed apparent to us they were casing our house, seeing what security measures we had. So we just decided wed take an early Thanksgiving Vacation and thats what we did. So you tragically lost your oldest son at the age of 37 in 2018, a loss that nothing could ever replace. I know your wife told reuters that that terrible loss weighed heavily on her amid these threats. She told reuters and i quote, i hesitate to say this because im afraid someone might use it against me, but, you know, i have lost a child. I dont ever want to go through that again. Because of these threats i know you and trisha started seeing brentons young children, your tie to your son. To feel such fear, secretary, it brings tears to my eyes. Its truly sickening. Well, we just never wanted to have our grandchildren over here and All Of A Sudden a situation arose. Even if it wasnt a violent thing, just people screaming and hollering and shouting at me and my grandchildren hearing that. You know, just think about the emotional scars that would could happen to them, but also what if theyre actually in physical danger. So thats why we took a several Month Break of having the children over there until things started calming down a little bit. As you read at the top of your piece, some of those threats came in as late as April 24th. I understand that its still going around and the rest of the country, other states, other State Election officials are still being threatened also. April 24th. Just to be clear, April 24th of this year, right . Six weeks ago. Exactly. Yes. Someone used a fake Email Address and used your name and tried to make it appear that messages were coming from you and these were awful things also about trisha. One of them read i married a sickening whore, i wish they were dead. You havent resigned and you kept standing up for the truth of the election and that it was that that was the fair outcome in georgia. Youre running for reelection. Im sure that was a very thoughtful and deep conversation to get to that. After everything youve gone through, what made you decide to do that . I want to stay in this, i want to be a public official, i want to keep running . People are questioning my integrity. We made sure we ran an honest and fair election. Am i disappointed in the results . Absolutely, im a republican. A conservative one. But my job is to make sure we have a fair vote. People are trying to push us off our program, our plan, and im not going to do that. I need to stand for integrity. What is really, i think, embarrassing as a republican is that we have people that are on our side of the aisle that could do such shameful things and say such shameful things that are so vile. I always thought our party was better than this. When you start seeing this, we, everyone on my side of the aisle needs to hold people accountable. We need to watch what we say and we need to make sure that what we say is respectful. We can have disagreements, political disagreements, but at The End of the day we need to come together and talk to each other like fellow Human Beings because it is something we have to understand that this is bigger you know, this country is bigger than just one person, for every single office. Weve had great President S, weve had great congresses and people in different positions, very important positions, but the country has always been bigger than just one person and one time. This is a big country. And we need to get back to we need to run hard for our elections and when we lose, we need to leave and we need to leave quietly. Thank you very much, secretary raffensperger.

Early voting kicks off Tomorrow And Jason carroll is outfront. Facing off, the Man Or Woman poised to be the next mayor of new York City. The subject of rising crime and Police Reform a key topic. Eric adams a retired former captain in the nypd considered a top contender in the race initially planed to skip a debate and attend a vigil for a 10yearold Boy whose death has become another reminder of the surge of Gun Violence in new York City but Hed Course and attended the debate as Fighting Crime is a central issue for his campaign. No one on this stage can tell you that they have put their life on the line to save New Yorkers. Nobody else can do that. I can say that. Reporter the candidates were asked if Police Reform meant taking guns away from officers. Four of the five candidates said no, they would not but when press pressed, here is how Maya Wiley responded. Im not prepared to make that decision in a debate. Reporter today she released a statement saying nobody is talking about taking guns away from cops of course i dont support that. Wiley former counsel to Mayor Bill de blasio has recently gained momentum among the contenders running in the Progressive Lane of the party. Last weekend she scored the high Profile Endorsement of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocho G Alexandria oh cost your cortez. E h he was attacking me from jersey. Its clear New Yorkers want a mayor that is forthcoming and honest. It is a where is waldo moment but i know that the voters care deeply about the issues that are facing this city. Reporter a story published in politico questioned whether adams thats the Brooklyn Burro President resides in New Jersey where he coowns an apartment with his partner.

At one point the candidates were asked to describe themselves in one word and adams described himself as a wo workaholic and yang described himself as determined. You talk to folks in and around the city, asked them to describe this field of candidates and the word that you often hear is lukewarm and time is running out for these voters again early voting starting tomorrow. Thank you very much, jason. Were going to be speaking to the candidates. Early voting starts tomorrow. As jason says and its a race that matters for the country. Mayor for New York Eric Adams joins me and eric, appreciate your time. So lets just get to the bottom of thism. The debate opens up if you live in the burro of brooklyn. You took report es on a tour of your apartment and released easy pass statements. Politico says the records dont explain when you dial into Campaign Events from New Jersey. Can you explain where you spend your time . How many days on average do you spend in that Brooklyn Apartment that you showed reporters . First, i live in brooklyn. I was a State Senator in brooklyn. Im the Brooklyn Burro President. I was a Police Officer in brooklyn. I live in brooklyn, and i am insulting the public to constantly talk about a conversation of where i live when we have over 100,000 children that dont have a place to live. The next 12 days im focused on the campaign, that is why people said give us your ezpass records. I did. I opened my home, which i normally dont do because im a private person with my family. I did. I went beyond that. I have a city im trying to be the mayor to run that we have real problems in this burro, and thats my focus and i answered that question over and over again with a great level of transparency. I am a Brooklyn Knight and i love being a Brooklyn Knight. So your challenger Maya Wiley got a major Endorsement Fromcase failed to respond to why she would take guns away from Police Officers. Shes criticizing your approach saying nobody is seriously talking about taking guns away from cops. I dont support that. Eric thinks the solution to every problem is a badge and a gun. Sometimes armed police are the solution, but some problems we actually make worse when we bring in a cop who isnt trained for the situation rather than a Mental Health specialist. I guess thats a way of saying refund, refund more Mental Health instead of cops. What do you say to her . Listen. My story is clear, erin. Im a young man 15 years old arrested and beat by Police Officers. Instead of saying why me . Why not me . I fought for reform and public safety together. I am known for testifying in federal court. The case floyd against nypd, the judge mentioned me in her ruling. I am known for what i did as a State Lawmaker and dealing with the abuse of stop and frisk. Im also known for dealing with violence in our city. So ms. Way iley, she knows thatd my record. She cant distort my record. I was really disappointed and alarmed when i heard her hesitate on the answer will you take guns away from Police Officers while were experiencing upticks in Gun Violence, 10yearold children are shot and killed. Were seeing shootouts on Upper West Side assassinations and park slope. This is not the way you approach this issue. This is the wrong message. The prerequisite to prosperity is public safety and justice. That will impact our economic recovery. So you were the only candidate Last Night who expressed concerns about the new State Law legalizing recreational marijuana. I wanted to play that moment. Im concerned about the Marijuana Laws all together. It was imperative we layout a clear understanding that this can impact on how you respond. It can impair your judgment. So recent polling, 59 of voters in new York Support recreational marijuana. 69 of democrats. Its popular. You know that. You knew that when you said that like anybody who lives in this city, you smell pot every time you walk around like i do and everybody else. So you decided to take a stand on this despite thats not what people want to hear and its not what your voters want to hear but you took a stand anyway. Im curious eye you chose to do that. Because thats Eric Adams. People say eric, i dont agree with everything you say and do but you have New York grit. Youre going to do what you believe is right. I am in support of legalizing marijuana. I am saying when we do that, lets not send the wrong message that its all right to smoke a joint before you do an operation. Is it all right to smoke a joint before you drive a car or on your way to school. We need to be clear with the message, with legalization lets put in the right parameters that were not going to create a harmful environment in the process. That is what responsible adult leadership would show and people need to know of the impacts of smoking if youre smoking too much and that is what im saying. I support legalization and i support the funds that are raised from it that goes to those who are harmfully impacted by it. All right. Eric adams, thank you very much. Appreciate your time tonight. Thank you. So our viewers know, well speak to the candidates next week. Thanks for joining us. Anderson starts now. A gross abuse of power, John Berman here in for anderson.
