The Justice Department into a quote, political Weapon Speech coming less than two months before the president ial election is expected to condemn what he calls an escalation of attacks based on quote, conspiracy theories, Dana Peter is falsehoods. Efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out and threats of actual violence. Cnns Jessica Schneider joins us now with more and jessica, this is very unmarried. Garland of berkoff, garland to come out like this. Its notable, jim, weve seen the Attorney General respond to these attacks and congressional hearing springs one questioned by lawmakers, may be in response to questions from the press, but he is going to be making a full throated defense of his employees. Doj officials fbi agents in this really notable speech, hes going to be delivering it around 11, 30 this morning to his employees, two u. S. Attorneys who are in town and its real really incredible. You know, we say we wont let this department be used as a political weapon while he doesnt mention Donald Trump or his allies by name, it is very clear, even in reading the excerpts that weve been given, that Merrick Garland is sending a trump and his allies, we dont appreciate these attacks. We wont tolerate these tax and employees of the Justice Department, the Attorney General will say, i have your back, in particular, Merrick Garland will say this to the employees. It is dangerous to target and intimidate individual employees of this departments simply for doing their jobs. And it is outrageous that you have to face these unfounded attacks because you are doing what is right and uphold link the rule of law. I mean, in the past few years, there has been a spike in threats against doj officials. Also in particular, fbi agents in the wake of that search of mar alago two years ago, they faced a number of threats. So this is the Attorney General really, for the first time speaking out in this forum in such a forceful speech that is directed to his employees, letting them know, he backs them and he wont stand for. And jessica, whats remarkable about this, we saw at the debate a couple of nights ago, Donald Trump accusing the Biden Harris Administration of using the Justice Department as a weapon, the weaponization of the Justice Department as some on the right, call it up on Capitol Hill, but at the same time, trump just this past weekend on truth social was putting out a post saying hes going to go hes going to go after Election Officials. Hes going to go after democratic donors if he feels that they are cheating in the upcoming election, which of course they wont be. But its these kinds of attacks. I think that Merrick Garland feels compelled to speak out again right . The rhetoric is twofold from Donald Trump. Hes, hes accusing the biden administration, the doj, of using their force for political gain, which Merrick Garland has repeatedly said is not true. And then like you said threatening to do things to his political opponents, to Election Officials Merrick Garland addresses that. He says it is, it is dangerous to target the employees for simply doing their jobs. He said, i also have seen you bravely carry on in the face of an unprecedented spike in threats targeting a range of public officials. So hes commending his employees for even continuing on Jack Smith and his prosecutors, Donald Trump repeats them for attacks them. What seems to be on a, on a daily basis. So this is Merrick Garland coming to the defense of his own employees, but also sending a message to Donald Trump and his allies, very interesting. Our Jessica Schneider, well be following that. Thank you very much. And for more on this. Joining me now, is democratic Congressman Maxwell Frost of florida. Congressman. Thanks so much for joining us. We appreciate it. What is your your take on what Jessica Schneider just reported a few moments ago that the Attorney General Merrick Garland is going to send an urgent message to department of justice officials that he has their back and that this talk of a weaponized department of justice is just nonsense. Obviously, hes talking about Donald Trump, even if the Attorney General is not going to mention it and by name, whats your reaction to that i think its a very important step. I mean, we have a president here who is Number One trying to scare the american people and arrowed their confidence in our institutions our country was added to a list few years go back slightly democracy is what was one of the top reasons that we have leaders like Donald Trump, who are intentionally trying to erode public trust in our systems. And the doj is part of that. So its unfortunate that hes really he is trying to weaponize Public Opinion against our own governments. I think its a good step that the Attorney General has taken love to see the doj again, become more aggressive in the way there theyre talking about this issue and any other ones as well and i do want to ask you about whats going on down in florida. I know that you and other florida democrats In The House are sending a letter to the Justice Department calling for an investigation it should into a governor Ron Desantis down there, are a lot of this stemming from what has been going on with amendment for which is a Ballot Amendment thats going to be Coming Up this election. Can you explain that for us . Yeah my my colleagues and i lead with debbie wasserman, Wasserman Schultz in South Florida are sending a letter to the doj requesting that they look into an investigate something really serious thats going on in the state of florida, as many people know this year where were going to have amendment four on the ballot to Codify Abortion Rights its really important. And that i believe will pass and the state of florida, the governor opposes it because hes against bodily Autonomy And Freedom for all women, childbearing adults in the state of florida and the governor unfortunately, is using official State Government resources to fight back and campaign against amendment four not only is he using official Government Resources to campaign against amendment for you using Government Resources to what looks like sabotage and really suppress the vote. There have been reports that official State Government officials have gone to supervisor of elections offices, requested to see loads and loads as were talking thousands of petitions. They are scanning the petitions and checking them for fraud, then sending State Law Enforcement agents to go to the homes of people who signed these petitions to tell them that they might have been the victim of fraud asserting that somehow there you know, their name was forged in the petition which is completely false. Each supervisor of elections does this process already. They go through they verify the petitions. It was verified that is why amendment four will be on the ballot. Not only that, but the governor it seems has directed our State Healthcare Administration agency to put out Number One, a video working against amendment four, and that a whole page on the official Government Website talking about and campaigning against amendment four. And the message to the governor is this Number One, we believe this is an improper it is not normal and it might even be illegal. But if he wants to campaign against him im in for it to start a political Action Committee to go ahead and do that and not used State Resources against something that is going to be a by partisan vote across the state of florida yeah. And its a vote that could put the state of florida in play on the president ial level and with the Senate Race that is going to be hotly contested in florida. No question about and congressman, while i have you, i do want to switch gear to the republican led attacks on haitian immigrants in ohio theres one moment of the president ial debate, obviously that went viral from Donald Trump. Lets listen to that and talk about on the other side theyre eating the dogs, the people that came in, theyre eating the cats. Theyre eating, theyre eating the pets of the people that live there seemed people until let me just say, this is the people on television cleared my dog was taken used for food this of course, has been completely debunked by officials in springfield, ohio. But congressman, i do want to ask you about this because you represent one of the largest haitian communities in the united states i believe you are also a patient ancestry, correct me if im wrong about that. But what do you think is driving this . What . Ben, your reaction to Donald Trump saying that the other night appreciate the question. And like you said, i am very proud to represent one of the largest concentrations of haitianamericans and the entire country in central florida. These are our neighbors. These are folks who work and live in our communities. And these are americans and so when Donald Trump is lobbying these racist, bigoted attacks on haitians, he is lobbing his attacks on americans and its completely disgusting and it shows us two things. Number one, he knows hes losing this race. And so hes defaulting at Whats Something thats very normal for him Racism And Bigotry number two, it also shines a light on his ideology in the way he would govern. He is someone who i believe is a neofascist. And when we look at project 2025, it shows us that right there. And part of that ideology is picking groups of marginalized Communities Minority groups, and blaming the issues of the country on those people weve seen tyrants and dictators and the worst leaders in the history of humanity do similar things that he has chosen haitianamericans now to go after Number One, a baseless lie people have contacted Law Enforcement agencies, municipal government over there. This is not going on the way. Donald trump says it is, and not just that, but its just, its playing out racist. And so im going to stand up. The haitian community, not just in my district, but across the entire country is strong, resilient people, beautiful culture, and these folks in this country, they are americans absolutely beautiful culture. And many of them are here because theyre fleeting Fleeing Turmoil in their own country and united states has obviously a along a rich tradition of welcoming people who are in those circumstances. Congressman Maxwell Frost of florida, thanks so much for your time. We appreciate it.

And im happy for the Space Program having a vibrant commercial Space Program as the Nasa Administrator has said today, is something that nasa has wanted to do for many years. And this was another huge step in that direction, just this first private spacewalk is really a huge accomplishment yeah i mean, the Space Suits, i do not to harp on that or fixate on that, but they do look a lot different from what you used to wear. Can you tell us about them and apparently spacex design them . Specifically for this mission theyre actually kind of a different version of what they use for their Launch And Entry suits.

That officer identified as 27 Year Veteran Danny torres is at the center of an investigation into the controversial incident of the Body Cam Video shows him pulling hill from his car and forcibly restraining him face down as things start to add escalate and then moments like this when we got there, what appears to grab the back of Hills Neck while forcing him down to the sidewalk, mocking him as he complains about having had recent Knee Surgery before confronting Hills Teammates and eventually handcuffing one Hills Attorney blasted the actions as excessive escalating and reckless in a Statement Calling for tours because these immediate termination meanwhile, miamidade police police have put Torres Odd administrative duties and his attorneys said he will not comment until after the investigation joining me now for more on this, cnn legal analyst, criminal Defense Attorney joey jackson, and cnn senior Law Enforcement analyst and former Police Chief charles ramsey. Ramsey chief, let me talk to you first. When you see this where this video do things go wrong in your view think theres a couple of things. First of all, but the video did not show and that is the initial interaction between the first officer and mr. Hill after the stop was made mr. Hill originally he said he was cooperative, he was not even really confrontational. The officer asked him to roll down as window. Why is that important . I mean, he had darkly tenant windows for Officer Safety purposes. You need to be able to see inside and see whats going on mean it a traffic stop. You never know what you have. Now, having said that the actions of the first officer, i didnt have a problem with it was the second officer to one with the black sleeves underneath his shirt. He was aggressive from the very start when he was ordered when you ordered mr. Hill out of the car, they didnt even give them a chance to get out of the car on his own. He just yanked him out of the car, putting facedown on the ground, handcuffed him and then the last thing once he standing up and hes handcuffed, youve got three at least three cops there. There was no need to put him down on the curb, although in some jurisdictions, i guess thats procedure, but he forcibly took him down to the curb. I didnt see a need for that. So i think both sides could handle things a lot better. Yeah joey, i want to play a little bit more of what hill had to say about the incidents. Lets talk about this on the other side i could have been better. I couldnt let down my window in that incident. Im human. I got to i got to follow rules. I got to everyone else would do so now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out to me absolutely not. Yeah. I mean, joey, that was my reaction to this, you know. Okay. Hes not rolling the window down. Not how youre supposed to do it if the officer i should roll the window down your roll the window down. But, you know, the officer could have been more patient to and just said, okay, maybe you cant why did why i assume every situation is a bad situation. But what whats your response to me . Jim, its about interpersonal communication. You know, my dad who was a Police Officer, may he rest in peace . Always used to tell me that of all the tools he had at his disposal. And there were a lot of them including a nightstick, et cetera. The most effective tool was his Voice Ability to treat people with courtesy, with professionalism, with respect and yes, you know sometimes they are going to be a very noncompliant public. The question then becomes, is porsche analogy, if someones noncompliant, does that automatically give you the right to lay hands on them to escalate the matter, we depend upon our officers to bring Reason And Judgment and good Common Sense to any situation. Let me say this. A lot of officers out here, the vast majority serving with dignity, we really owe them a debt of gratitude for all they do. But when you have others who are so quick to escalate, so quick to make something turn into something so bad that doesnt need to be that is concerning and so that is what i think we need to focus last point, jim, and thats this. I think its a
