what exactly do you want from the audio? >> did we want to make sure that it matches what the transcript says. so and i think that it's important as an oversight for procedural issue that we have i have access to the audio. i think it's just very simple issue and it perhaps i think as man who said, that we probably have to fight it out in court. but when the oversight committee members of congress requests. this type of material by subpoena. it should be provided if that's all you want. just to make sure that the transcript matches the audio. >> could you not just ask for a special master to do that? i mean, what democrats thing. i know it looks look cnn wants it to we want it for journalistic reasons. you guys are politicians. i don't think the chances are zero that if you've got the audio that some of that audio, especially the less flattering parts of it, might end up in an attack ad. i mean, that's the fear that democrats have they could fear whatever they like. it doesn't mean that they can't, they shouldn't be complying with the subpoena from the house of representatives. i think it's just it's cut and dry in simple like that for the same reasons that cnn seeks far the audio tape. and i think that the larger issue here is that it always seen means that there's zero transparency. we've had so much difficulty. it's not just this issue with this administration. it's multiple issues where we're trying to do our oversight responsible ability. we're trying to bring transparency to the people this is their government and they deserve to see everything in here, everything. and if there's a subpoena requests for something it should be provided. it's it's a shame that we have to actually get to the subpoena position in the first place. i mean we request information all the time from oversight purposes and we have difficulty getting and it's not limited specifically to this administration. i mean, i know i don't one of the issues we're going to talk about is governor cuomo. and then we wrote letters for completely four years to try to get information. simple questions i've asked and they just disrespected the house of representatives. they thought it was important to provide answers to us and we're seeing that happen time and again where people feel that they can does violate federal law. and what we believe is proper oversight. >> so one more question on this, and then i'll get to governor cuomo who testified behind closed doors yesterday and you were there so i do want to ask about that you weren't in congress at the time, but i wouldn't say that republican, your republican colleagues exactly ran to vote to hold attorney general bill barr in contempt of congress when he refused to hand over all the details of the molar invention destination and the unredacted report. would you have voted to hold him in contempt of congress as well? >> yeah. perhaps i was not here at the time, so i don't know this particulars of what occurred, but i do believe that there is a responsibility here for oversight. and certainly as a member who had been involved in the ways and means committee, we were the ones who delivered the irs whistleblowers there's that i worked played a big role in this in this conviction of a hunter biden i think oversight is important. the american people deserve to know what happens even if it it's happening behind closed doors, especially when it's happening behind closed doors. so why? then all the particulars that you're mentioning, i think we do need to be consistent. >> so let's talk about behind closed let's doors because yesterday behind closed doors, former new york governor andrew cuomo participated in an interview with the subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic, and it centered on the issue of the guidance from his administration in new york that led to nursing homes and long-term care facilities being forced to admit contagious covid-19 patients during the pandemic, which led to the deaths of thousands wilson's have seniors in new york listened to your fellow new york congresswoman, republican at least stefanik after the interview and i said, does he have accountability and despite hours and hours of trying to blame everybody else in the final moments of the deposition he said ultimately as the new york governor, there is accountability for how they handled nursing homes was that your takeaway? the governor cuomo acknowledged accountability and responsibility for what happened. >> yeah, it's unfortunate. jake is somebody who has had constituents lost loved ones in the nursing homes to hear the governor say that he it doesn't have remorse or that he would even change anything today if he had the ability to edit that directive that came from his administration to nursing homes, mandating them to take individually welcome to hear him say that he does not even make a single change today, that he would simply communicate it more and explain more. so nursing homes could understand that they could reject individuals, which was certainly not what the mandate said. it is not what the impression of the nursing homes worth the time nor was it the impression that the local elected officials who were relaying concerns from the nursing homes to the administration. it wasn't our impression either. what i would say is it was it was unfortunate the governor really try to to shift blame and point fingers first, he tried to say that he and the do h commissioner, department health commissioner did not know anything about this directory they've until a month after it took effect saying that it was when a media inquiry came to him that he first found out about it. i find that really hard to believe. i think people who saw the governor for 111 days do briefings and he was so involved in so hands on i don't i don't think that anybody really believes that in this de to not know who that staff member was, there was no internal investigation. it was somebody who went rogue and did this without approval. so he tried to blame them, then he tried to blame cdc and the federal government saying that the guidelines were mirroring what the federal government records i'm conditions were. but that was not the case, right the federal government language was very different. that was ken versus shao and rollout, no testing for those individuals she came into the nursing homes and then he blends in nursing homes themselves saying that they didn't understand the directive that they had the ability to turn them away if they couldn't care for them public in on the committee told me that the democrats also, some of them had tough questions for governor cuomo, is that is your impression as well? >> oh, yeah. >> certainly. there was a lot of this fact satisfaction among all the members, republicans and democrats in a lot of tough questions, a democrats focused ally, they're questions. she questions on the underreporting of deaths it's in the state of new york and the other issue was the personal friends and family that we're receiving tests, covid tests so here on one hand, the nursing homes were prohibited from testing individuals that were being forced upon them from the hospitals, right? according to this man and date. but then they were making these going out of their way to test anyone whether it was personal professional that was coming into contact with the governor. so really was a double standard there and he received a lot of questions and a lot of heat from the democrats on that particular topic. >> yep. i remember all too well, republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis thing you so much. i appreciate your time today. us attorney general merrick garland just released a statement after house republicans voted to hold him in contempt of congress. garland said quoted is deeply disappointing that this house of representatives has turned to serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon. today's vote disregards the constitutional separation of powers. the justice department's need to protect its investigations in this substantial amount of information we have provided to the committees, i will always stand up for this department, its employees and its vital mission to defend our democracy. we have some breaking news now in the world, lead president biden just landed in italy moments ago for the g7, cnn senior white house correspondent mj lee is also in italy as the president arrives, mj, what's on president biden's? docket for this trip will jake a number of big ticket items for the g7 liters as this meeting gets underway tomorrow. >> but there's no question that showing a unified front in support of ukraine as the war and enters its third year is really a top priority for these top leader there's a number of the announcements that we expect these leaders to talk about of course, include the $50 billion loan program for ukraine that would be paid by inch trust. that is accrued from frozen russian assets. we also expect leaders to talk about this new bilateral security agreement between the the us and ukraine that would last ten years. and of course course the us, of course, earlier today, announced a new expanded sanctions targeting russia. but as we see those images of president biden landing here in italy, it's important to keep in mind that this is as final g7 summit of his first term. cutting just three years after that first g7 that he attended as president and the politics both at home and across the world is just so different now, back then, a lot of world leaders saying that they were breathing a sigh of relief to see donald trump on after his unpredictable isolation is tendencies. and now of course there's a lot of anxiety coming back to the world stage as a lot of folks are wondering about the possibility of a second donald trump term, white house press secretary karine jean-pierre on the flight, i believe sidestepped the question about whether a president biden mike commute his son, hunter biden sentence after a jury found him guilty on gun charges yesterday, he had told abc he he wouldn't pardon him, but there was no follow-up about well, whether about a commutation, tell us more about this exchange yeah. >> and this was after the president spent the last night before traveling to italy in wilmington, clearly to show support to his family and his son, hunter after that conviction, what the white house press secretary was asked was whether the president would consider commuting hunter sentence she. said she had not even spoken to the president about this issue since the verdict that hunter sentencing hadn't even been scheduled. so she really wouldn't weigh in on this issue at all, but just a reminder, of course, the president did say in a recent interview that he would not pardon his son. he said that he would also accept whatever the outcome of this verdict would be. >> all right. mj lee, thanks so much. one major topic on the sidelines of the g7, we'll of course be israel's war against hamas in gaza, us secretary of state antony blinken was just in the middle east and he will be with president biden in italy what is blinken saying about the latest back-and-forth over the push for a ceasefire and hostage deal in this conflict. that's coming up plus incredible stories from the hostages, just rescued from the hands of the terrorist group hamas. why the hostages feel they were actually in danger when they first saw israeli forces. that's coming up the most anticipated moment of this election. and the stakes couldn't be higher. the president and the former president, one stage two every different visions for america's future. the cnn presidential debates thursday, june 27, nine live on cnn and streaming on max. >> see idp disrupts the idp derails. >> let's be honest cit socks but living with cdp doesn't have to. >> when you sign up at shining through cid p.com, you'll find inspiration and real patients stories helpful tips, reliable information, and more the cid p can be tough, but finding hope just got a little easier sign up is shining through cip.com. be heard, be hopeful, bu can the riva support your brain health?
