january 2nd last year with georgia secretary of state where trump urged the republican to find votes to help him win. >> also, breaking this afternoon, the house committee investigating the january 6th attack wants to interview former first daughter and white house adviser ivanka trump. let's begin with sara murray following the developments out of fulton county georgia. sarah, explain how a dgrand jur could change the investigation. >> she's been looking into donald trump and his allies for a year in their efforts to overturn the results in the georgia 2020 election and whether that's criminal. it allows her to essentially compel witnesses to gather more evidence and also it has this group of people that are just going to be focused on this trump matter. they're not going to be looking at evidence in any other case. here's how she described it if her letter to the court asking for a special grand jury. she said we have made efforts to interview multiple witnesses and gather evidence, and a significant number of witnesses and prospective witnesses have refused to cooperate with the investigation absenct a subpoen. brad raffensperger has indicated that he will not participate in an interview or otherwise offer evidence until he is presented with a subpoena by my office. now, we know the secretary of state's office has already provided documents and staffers. but what she is saying is i want brad raffensperger front of me and we can expect a lot of that will be focused on the infamous phone call. let's jog everyone's memory with a portion of what donald trump was asking brad raffensperger to do. >> i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. >> so that was him asking raffensperger to just, you know, find the votes, find the votes so donald trump could win georgia instead of joe biden. i think the most important takeaway this means she's still seriously looking at a potential criminal charge against donald trump or one of his allies. >> sara murray, thank you for that breaking news. let's turn now to cnn's paula reid who's following this new request from the house select committee to interview vu ivanka trump. >> this is a move on trump's inner circle. this is a voluntary request to come in. this is not a subpoena. what's incredible in this eight-page letter they sent to ivanka, it reveals just how much evidence the committee has already gathered, particularly through witness interviews. they are deep in the trump white house. they know an astonishing amount about what was going on inside the trump white house on january 6th, and they want to talk to va ivanka to learn more about two specific issues. one, they want to learn more about any efforts to try to pollo block the certification of the electoral votes and they want to learn about the pressure campaign on vice president mike pence. first they say they're interested in a meeting, that they have been told ivanka was at on january 6th in the oval office. there was a phone call between trump and pence where trump was allegedly pressuring his vice president to go along with his plan to block the certification of electoral votes. they want to talk to ivanka about what she heard on at least one end of that phone call. now, they also want to know why the president didn't just walk down to the briefing room. there's always a live camera there and reporters and call for an end to the violence. the committee says, quote, testimony they obtained indicates members of the white house staff requested your assistance on multiple occasions to intervene in an attempt to persuade president trump to address the ongoing lawlessness on capitol hill. they also want to know what donald trump did to freeway the national guard. this is significant because this is something that speaks to the committee's argument that trump abdicated his responsibility to the nation. in their letter, the committee says they are aware that certain white house staff devoted time during the violent riot to rebutting questions regarding whether the president was attempting to hold up the deployment of the guard. lastly, they also want to talk to her about efforts to protect the president from, quote, crazy people. this was apparently an effort spearheaded by fox news host sean hannity who was trying to enlist the help of then-press secretary kayleigh mcenany and others. it paints a picture of a chaotic white house and staffers just believing that ivanka was really their one hope to get through to the former president. the big question now, will she cooperate or comply? her camp released a statement saying ivanka did not speak at the january 6th rally. as she's publicly stated that day at 3:15 p.m., any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable. the violence must stop immediately, please be peaceful. okay, that statement doesn't address what is in this letter and it does not answer the question about whether she will testify. cnn has off the tofollowed up. >> michael moore, former u.s. attorney for the middle district of georgia, good to see both of you. michael, let me start with you. on this reporting of the special grand jury that's requested by the d.a. there in fulton county. i want to play first the exchange that she references from the secretary of state brad raffensperger that has prompted this request. this was october 31st on msnbc. >> if she wants to interview me, there's a process for that and i will gladly participate because i want to make sure that i follow the o law, follow the institution. when you get a grand jury summons, you respond to it. >> that's what she referenced as part of her letter. what does this request tell us about how far along in the investigation she likely is? >> you know, she's made some progress. i'm a little surprised we're at this point and have not already asked for a speciagrand jury. so she may be just trying to button up some evidence to fill in some holes that the investigation found to sort of use the belt and suspenders. as for raffensperger, certainly you don't have to have a subpoena from a grand jury. you could be asked to attend and participate if you're part of the investigation. but he's in a tight political r race against a trump ally, so he's trying to make it look like his appearance is anything but voluntary. >> carrie, i had forgotten the deluge of phone calls that the white house and president trump put in to brad raffensperger after the election. it wasn't just that one phone call where they connected and he said, hey, i need to find extra votes i didn't get. there were 18 attempted calls from the white house, and basically secretary of state raffensperger was dodging these calls because he knew it was already being litigated and he knew it was going to be a mess when he did connect with donald trump. and so the idea that he doesn't want to offer up what he knows voluntarily, i mean, i think it is what michael just said, political, but it didn't have to get to this point. >> well, this d.a. has been conducting this investigation for some time, and they're in a variety of investigations. we see this with the january 6th committee as well. sometimes people voluntarily cooperate. sometimes they need to be compelled, and so the authority, in this case, the d.a., would issue a subpoena. sometimes people want for whatever reason, sometimes political, they want to be compelled. in other words, if someone is not going to the challenge subpoena but wants the legal process so that they are compelled to appear. sounds like that's the category he's in, so the d.a. is taking these additional steps so she can further her investigation. but the grand jury would enable her to continue to gather evidence for her investigation. >> michael, we talk about the updates and developments from the january 6th investigation almost daily. we'll talk about it, actually, in a couple minutes with this ivanka trump request. but as it compares to what's happening in fulton county and the problem it could cause for the former president, how do these two stack up? >> you know, the case is being investigated by a d.a. who has other things going on. that's just the reality of life on the ground. she oversees the prosecutions in a county where homicides and crime are going um. she's dealing with other things on her plate at the same time. at the same time, she's dealing with recalcitrant witnesses to the case, so she's moving at her own pace. i hope and i suggest that she treat this like she would any other criminal case, just move through, slapping it on the grand jury calendar and go on to the next thing as opposed to turning this into a platform for the former president. while she's doing that, she got a limited staff and budget. then you got the house committee, the january 6th committee. and they have huge resources. they have other abilities to do things that she doesn't have. if there's cooperation back and forth, i'd be happy to have it, that type of thing. she's playing the hand that's been dealt to her, and she's moving toward making a decision hopefully by mid-year, also mindful this is a state that this case will end up in appellate court if she decides to charge the former president. our appellate courts are dominated by republican appointees. it's not the beginning here or the end of it. it really will be just getting the ball rolling as it moves through the criminal system if that's the way she decides to go. >> carrie, let's talk about this request for ivanka trump to appear before the special committee. there was this phone call as our reporter paula reid just laid out. this was the phone call between president trump and vice president pence. just to remind people, i'll just recap, it's been reported that the president said to the vice president you don't have the courage to make a hard decision, maybe not those exact words. do you remember anything like that? and then it has already been testified to general keith kellogg answered something like that, like you're not tough enough to make this call. another reported phone call is trump said, mike, it's not right, i'm counting on you. if you are not, you're going to wimp out. ivanka trump was there in the oval office for that phone call, but they already have what sounds like the verbatim of that phone call and general keith kellogg, the national security adviser to mike pence testifying. why do they need ivanka? >> that sounds like one example of the pieces of information that the committee would like. sounds like from the letter that has gone over to her or her counsel that that's one piece. and then there's a variety of other information. look, we know she was a white house adviser at the time. she took on a formal government title. but there is nothing special about her when it comes to her potential status as a witness. as the committee has demonstrated, it goes through a process, and the first step in that process when it's looking at witnesses is asking them to come in and speak voluntarily. the next step if they're unwilling to do that and unwilling to engage with the committee, the next step is that they are subject to a subpoena. we have seen in a couple examples already if someone is not willing to comply with that lawful process, then they're willing to refer to contempt. she was in the white house, she was around these phone calls and this effort to subvert the election. so she'll have to does whether or not she's going to cooperate with the committee's important work. >> we'll see what happens next. thank you very much. >> good to be with you. thank you. president biden is doing major foreign policy cleanup today. some in ukraine are warning his words could serve as an vision for russian aggression. what the president is saying to putin now. ♪ get your tv together with the best of live and on demand. introducing directv stream. my plaque psoriasis... ...the itching... the burning. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine. my psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff, swollen... painful. emerge tremfyant®. with tremfya®, adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...can uncover clearer skin and improve symptoms at 16 weeks. tremfya® is the only medication of its kind also approved for adults with active psoriatic arthritis. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. emerge tremfyant® with tremfya®... ask you doctor about tremfya® today. ♪ ♪making your way in the world today♪ ♪takes everything you've got♪ ♪ ♪taking a break from all your worries ♪ ♪sure would help a lot ♪ ♪wouldn't you like to get away?

>> admitting it not using those words, but it's obvious. since that press conference ended, two hours long or so, the white house has spent much of that time scrambling trying to clean up. the president was supposed to be starting the first day of his second year in office talking about infrastructure, trying to tout one of his accomplishments and really begin the implementation of this landmark bill. he started that meeting with something else, again, trying to clarify in his words his comments toward russia. >> if any assembled russian you units move across the ukrainian border, that is an invasion. if putin makes this choice, russia will pay a heavy price. >> reporter: so this is all about the level of invasion or incursion or border-crossing, if you will, that russia would do to ukraine. would a small border crossing necessarily get a big piece of retaliation? that's what the president was saying out loud yesterday, it would not necessarily. he clarified after a firestorm of controversy both here in washington and in capitals around the world saying a minor incursion is major to them. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskiy, was forceful in his words. white house press secretary jen psaki said biden hasn't spoken to zelensky, but there have been high-level communications between the two countries and leaders and she has made clear, the president has made clear his point that crossing will get a full-scale retaliation. there have been a few acts of cleanup after that long press conference yesterday. >> zjeff zeleny, thank you. antony blinken will meet with the russian foreign ministry in geneva tomorrow. fred flight kin joins us now. fred, talk us through the break to the president's remarks yesterday. >> reporter: yeah. a lot of international confusion about those remarks. you could really see secretary of state blinken was doing diplomatic leg work meeting in berlin where he met with the foreign ministers of france and the united kingdom as well. i watched the press conference after that meeting and there again the secretary of state was also asked about president biden's remarks and whether or not something like a limited incursion could have limited consequences. secretary of state blinken said, no, there would be severe consequences, and he said that the u.s. and its allies are absolutely on the same page about that. but of course it did cause discontent, especially in ukraine. jeff was just talking about president zelensky of ukraine seemingly taking offense to that. i want to read you a little bit more of what zelensky wrote in his twitter account. quote, we want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions in small nations, just like there's no minor cachsualties. the ukrainian president saying that as well. as far as the russians are concerned, they have come out and said they have no intent of invading ukraine. they have called a lot of the talk going on hysteria. but they're also saying, it's very important, in the form of the creme lip they believe the talk written responses from the u.s. as far as the demands, the secretary of state has already said those written responses are not going to be forthcoming at this meeting. another thing that the kremlin also said today is that they would really like to see another phone call between vladimir putin and president biden. so seemingly the russians now also looking at least a little bit more towards trying to make at least some diplomacy happen. whether or not that will change anything about the situation there in ukraine, something we're going to wait and see. >> fred flight kin for us, thank you. joining us now is cnn global affairs analyst and staff writer for " the new yorker," susan glasser. you were basically tweeting in realtime during the press conference about the things that you thought the president was saying that would later prove problematic. so what was it that most jumped out at you? >> well, look, when you hear the president of the united states trying to make distinctions and talking about minor incursions versus major invasions, i wasn't surprised that it was going to generate considerable heart ache in kiev and that's exactly what happened. i flagged that as soon as biden said it, and then you saw officials in ukraine saying, hey, wait a minute, from the beginning that's been the concern all along that russia essentially can she this is a hostage-taking. you have 100,000 troops on the border and that was the means by which russia has demanded that the united states and nato come to the table and negotiate. negotiate over what? over a crisis they created. and it's really been remarkable to me how successful in some ways putin has been at getting -- setting the terms of the debate first of all. how many times have you been discussing with me and other guests on the air nato this and nato that? nato actually didn't do anything right now. this is all a putin creation here. and now here we are talking about biden and his messaging. that's the thing in an international crisis like this when the importance of messaging in the advance of military conflict is so important to avoid it. there are many examples where the united states and great britain were unclear in their messaging and that can lead to increased risks of czar let's talk about nato. we heard from the president if there is a minor cursing, there would be this fight within the organization about what to do. how much dissension is there in the organization? >> well, i think this one falls in the category of perhaps a classic washington gaffe named after the great writer michael kinsley who defined this kind of gaffe as telling the truth in public about something that is best left unstated at a press conference. it's not a shock or secret to reveal that nato allies have differences of opinion when it comes to how to deal with russia. that's been true for a long time. it would certainly be true right now as well. you look at the back and forth over the in nord stream 2 fine e from russia to germany that the u.s. has opposed with different levels of opposition in recent years. but germany has refused to hold off on it. now you have elements of the new german government saying even in the case of a full-throated military invasion, we're not sure we should bring a ban on nord stream 2 into it. that's the kind of division we're talking about. it's not a shocker, but in the diplomatic world, also seen as not the kind of thing the president of the united states should be saying at that time when his main goal is to stop and deter russia from taking military action. >> do you think that president biden's distinction that he is making, i think, between what he calls a major cursing, which is a military aggression, and i think the minor incursion was referring to as a cyberattack, and those would warrant different responses? >> well, i think, again, that the general guidelines here would be not to get into making distinctions and parsing things for your adversary to then see as an opening and an opportunity to take action of any kind. i think the general u.s. position is it's unacceptable no matter what kind of incursion. russia has already illegally annexed the crimean peninsula. russia has been supporting and maintaining the ongoing war in parts of eastern ukraine since 2014. so these are not theoretical debates. it's not angels dancing on the head of a pin. again, it seems fast for the pat president of the united states. >> susan glasser, thanks for the insight. now to this. the fbi searching the home and campaign office of democratic congressman henry cuellar. what investigators are saying about this raid next. its highly active peroxide droplets... ...swipe on in seconds. better. faster. 100% whiter teeth. shop crestwhitesmile.com. if you wake up thinking about the market and want to make the right moves fast... get decision tech. for insights on when to buy and sell. and proactive alerts on market events. that's decision tech. only from fidelity. ♪[music]♪ at aetna® we're shifting medicare coverage into high gear with benefits you may be eligible for when you turn 65. benefits that may include a $0 monthly plan premium. telehealth emergency coverage while you travel an over-the-counter allowance plus dental, vision, and hearing because the right medicare plan should help you feel...yeah, like that. aetna medicare advantage plans call today to learn more. this is your home. this is your family room slash gym. the guest bedroom slash music studio. the daybed slash dog bed. the living room slash yoga shanti slash regional office slash classroom. and this is the basement slash panic room. maybe what your family needs is a vacation home slash vacation home. find yours on the vrbo app. ♪ you could fret about that email you just sent. ...with a typo. aaaand most of the info is totally outdated. orrrr... you could use slack. and edit your message after it's sent.

as well as his home in laredo, texas. >> rosa flores has the latest for us. any clues coming out of this, rosa? >> reporter: you know, victor, the fbi is keeping all these details very close to the vest, but there are some clues. let me take you through them. let me start with the fbi's statement that was issued. this says, quote, the fbi was present in the vicinity conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity. the fbi cannot provide further comment on an ongoing investigation. we learned that it is a court-authorized search and there is an investigation going on. here is the statement that was released by cuellar's office through a spokesperson saying, quote, congressman cuellar will fully cooperate in any investigation. he's committed to ensuring that justice and the law are upheld. now, take a look at the video of the activity going on in his home. if you look closely, you'll see that the agents are wearing marked t-shirts, clearly saying the fbi. but if you look at the wider shots, you'll see that the vehicles are not marked. you don't see any local police, you don't see any sheriff's deputies. i called the city of laredo and they say the local police had, quote, zero involvement. i also called the sheriff's office. by the way, congressman cuellar and the sheriff, the county sheriff, they're brothers. his office says that they were not requested to assist the fbi. so there was no assistance there. but of course in america law enforcement can't just barge into a property to search. there should be a warrant. i've been looking for this warrant. i have not blood peen able to f. i asked the doj for this document and they did not provide it. but in this document, in my experience, we would learn exactly probable cause why the fbi is going into this residence, what they're looking for in this warrant. it would delineate that they were looking for x items and why. there are more clues. a reporter that was on the scene a newspaper reporter, valerie gonzalez from "the monitor," she tweeted because she observed this. she saw that agents grabbed plastic bags with stuff and also bins and a computer, alisyn and victor. those are clues as to what the fib was searching for, what they were looking for. but again, keeping the information very close to the vest, still not in public documents that we've been able to find. >> rosa, that's really interesting reporting. thank you for sharing all of that with us and come back to us as soon as you have any updates. >> thanks, rosa. president biden is getting criticism for raising concerns about the legitimacy of future elections. but some are pushing back on trump comparisons. and now that the effort to pass voting rights legislation has failed, what's next?

yes. should the press seek clarification and the white house has sought to clarify what he meant, which was to talk about election subversion? yes. they should do that. but it also shouldn't distract us from the larger point in the press. there's one party that is overwhelmingly perpetuating election lies and there are a lot of republican candidates that are refund on the basis of furthering those lies and are running saying that they may not certify future election results or that they wouldn't have certified the 2020 election results. one is david perdue in georgia who is running for governor there. he has launched on entire platform on trump's lies of a stolen election and has said he would not have certified the 2020 election results. so these are legitimate concerns and to compare biden's comments yesterday to years of trump sowing doubt about the election, saying it was rigged and stolen, is a false equivalence. >> to be clear about what the president said, just so we have the quote as part of the conversation, what the president said was the prospect of an illegitimate election is in direct proportion to us being able to get these reforms passed, suggesting that if these laws are not passed, the john lewis voting rights act and others, that that could be related to a legitimate or illegitimate election in 2022. but, ron, specifically your new piece in "the atlantic," there have been questions about i ca -- why call the vote if you don't have the votes. and you say this shows that there's been a dramatic shift on the filibuster in the party. explain that. >> by the way, first, i second everything laura said. what we've seen is about the failure in journalism to recognize the magnitude of the threat to democracy we're facing than it does about biden who admittedly could have been more clear, not for the first time in his career. look, a lot of people are asking why did democrats move this all the way to this climatic vote knowing it couldn't pass? and by doing so they slaaccelerd a historic shift in the party. the evidence strongly suggests after this week that joe manchin and sinema a&kyrsten sinema wert two senators ever to oppose it. both centrist and liberal senators to the people much more to their left are taking that position. you had a success of democratic groups saying they will not support candidates who refuse to vote for this carveout. the consensus in the party solidified to a much greater extent on changing the filibuster than seen possible a year ago. it would be very difficult to find any democrat above the level of mayor anywhere in the country who would not support doing that. manchin and sinema truly stand alone at this point. while that has enormous consequences, i do think this vote established a new norm for democrats. >> laura, a second ago you brought up david perdue who is now running for governor of georgia. much like ron desantis, he has now floated this idea of his plan to create basically an election police force to arrest people that, let's be honest, republicans feel are committing some sort of election problem. this is chilling. this is chilling to hear that they want a new police force. and i just don't know what we're supposed to do with the information that this is what's on their minds to do. >> what's important for viewers and readers to know about this is that perdue believes that the past election was illegitimate, wrongfully so. he has tlerepeated that lie ove and over again. that's his motive in pushing this type of police force. it's a motive for a lot of republicans that are pushing these different police force unit and these laws across these different states to try to restrict voting. it's that they are perpetuating trump's lie, and they are trying to convince their base and they have been successful in it. some 60% to 70% of republicans think the election was stolen. and so that's the danger here, is what these republican candidates are motivated by. >> all right. quickly, ron. >> they are making the case for why you need federal voting rights protections. susan collins last night took great umbrage. she voted for it in 2006 but subsequently they have eviscerated what they voted for and now they're filibustering the john lewis voting rights advancement act. so you are seeing this kind of twin movement where on the one hand at the federal level the republican filibuster in the senate and the gop majority in the supreme court are kind of providing air cover, and then you see this ground offensive in the red states by republican lr legislatures who are rolling back voting rights. and the same dynamic will be coming with abortion rights with protection from their republican colleagues at the federal level. >> thank you for giving us all that context. meanwhile, lawmakers give emergency relief to restaurants that are, of course, once again struggling to keep their doors open. so we're going to speak to a business owner who says the omicron surge is costing tens of thousands of dollars. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein. if you look around, you'll see the world can be pretty smart. sit down. actually, really smart. good boy. where do you think you're going?

what's the answer to that? >> i mean, it's kind of up in the air because we don't know how the coronavirus is going to develop and evolve, and we also don't know how much help i'm going to get from outside sources. >> ron, the op-ed that you wrote in the "new york times" a few weeks ago opened my eyes so much to the consequences, the very expensive consequences of when customers call your restaurant and cavalierly cancel, cancel a reservation for that night because maybe we're not feeling well or we just don't feel like going out. of course, we always balk at paying any cancellation fee and trying to get out of it, but will you help everybody understand what that does to your restaurant when you get those calls? >> yeah. we're a high-end restaurant, so a lot of our ingredients are very expensive. unlike other business models where your inventory is pretty static, restaurants have a very short shelf life on their products. so when customers make a reservation and then they cancel, we are sitting on product that will probably go bad within a day or two after their cancellation. so it's not like you're buying a plane ticket and then you have to cancel your plane ticket. the plane will still be there in a year or two years or five years, whereas in restaurants, if you buy food because you're banking on customers to come, and they don't show up, you lose that money. >> and it's not just the loss of the resources, those ingredients, it's now getting them. the supply chain has compounded the issues you're having at your restaurants. talk about that. >> yeah. i mean, the new restaurant we opened, which was kind of our answer to a to-go and open air dining solution to covid, my new restaurant called juniper cafe, we have issues of getting something that used to be plentiful like chicken. we're dealing with chicken from different farms and different cuts of chicken. the fallout from that is customers are expecting one type of chicken one day, and we have no recourse but to give them a different type of chicken. so that's just one small example. we're also delayed in supply chain in terms of building materials. when i opened up lazy betty, there was -- the supply chain was fine, we could rely on a schedule of materials to be brought in, but with juniper, it was like basically walking through a minefield. you had no idea when the plywood would get here, the kitchen equipment would get here, the product to do our food. and the restaurant was at 66 degrees. >> i know the supply chain has become so much more difficult to keep the doors open and keep people on staff. again, this $48 billion package under discussion, so we'll see if that moves forward. chef ron su, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. a georgia district attorney has just requested a special grand jury with subpoena power to help investigate former president trump's efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results. we've got new details, ahead. pepto bismol for fast relief when you need it most. ready to turn your dreams into plans and your actions into achievements?
