good day. i am andrea mitchell and we are following two major developing stories at this hour. historic decision from the supreme court granting broad civil rights protections to the lgbtq community and angry community amp the shooting death of rayshard brooks by a police fired after the incident. we just saw and outpouring of emission from brooks' widow and the family speaking at a news conference moments ago. we'll bring you all the latest developments including criminal charges against's police officer in a few moments. first, we begin with breaking news from the supreme court. a landmark civil rights rile ul 6-3 majority with a loss for the trump white house. conservative majority court deciding existing federal law forbids job jimdiscrimination o drns je transgender status. pete williams joins us. walk us through this unusual majority, this coalition for this decision and huge implications for this ruling? >> reporter: stunning because it comes from a growingly conservative supreme court. secondly the vote 6-3 with the chief justice joining the for more liberal members and donald trump's first supreme court nominee neil gorsuch joining majority and writing the decision. now, the question was, you said it right. existing civil rights law. the civil rights law we're talking about is the 56-year-old civil rights act of 1964. the most important single piece of civil rights legislation ever passed by congress. and i think everybody knows now the familiar list of things that it makes illegal to discriminate on the basis of. race, sex, national origin, creed and so forth. the question was, if someone is fired because they're gay or lesbian or transgender is that discrimination on the basis of sex? and the supreme court said today, yes, the answer is, yes. this is an issue that divided the lower courts. the majority opinion writer neil gorsuch says here, yeah, i understand. this was not on the minds of congress 56 years ago when they were debating the civil rights act, but he said it doesn't matter what congress was thinking. what matters is what the law says. and he says when you fire someone because they're gay, that's sex discrimination, just as if you fire someone if they're transgender, because if it was -- the sexes reverpr reversed you wouldn't have fired. a victory for jared boss stalk, bosstock after his employer found out he was on a gay baseball team. he sued. sorry, doesn't protect you. today the supreme court said that's not right and reversed that decision. the three descenters wrote a blistering dissent. alito says preposterous not making legal decisions noting congress repeatedly debated whether to add explicit orientation and said it's imporp aimporp -- improper to do it. the other trump appointee joined dissenters. a splis amot among the trump appointees. and replacing anthony kennedy writing up a rulings or rights and neil gorsuch replainsed antonin scalia one of the court's strongest opponents of a ruling of this kind. >> and reinforces what you have always taught us, pete. don't expect anything to be absolutely predictable from the high court. people change, and people listen to their colleagues during conference. one. other things i heard you say earlier on the breaking news special report was that in terms of the activist community, this was more important than gay marriage fundamentally, because not all gay people decide or choose to get married or want to get married, but all people need a job, and need job protections. >> reporter: that's right. the saying in the gay community was under the previous law you could legally get married on sunday and's legally get fired on monday, but after today, that's no longer true, andrea. >> also strikes me that the film, the fictional film made about ruth bader ginsburg was caught on the basis of sex. the key phrase from the, you know, earlier law. the 1964 law. thank you so much. >> reporter: you bet. >> thanks, pete. a big day on the court's front. joining us now actress and activist laverne cox featured in "disclosure" premiering this friday. a trailblazer. what was your reaction when you saw news of this decision today? >> i was shocked. i, quite frankly, it's still shocking. i had the great honor being present apartment the supreme court during oral arguments on october 8th of last year. and as i sat there i heard -- i heard gorsuch's questions and i said, i feel he might be on our side, but i was like, that can't really be the case! turns out he was. and when i -- spoke with the aclu about approach of, this approach to their argument, it was the approach that, indeed, won the day. gorsuch is a textualist and it's really shocking and also shocking that it is a 6-3 decision. what it reaffirms to me is that everyday people, average everyday people like everyone out there watching can make a difference. amy stephens, don zarda and gerald bowstock of like everybody else. working their jobs and doing their best and were fired simply for being who they are. and they said, this isn't right. they fought. they sued. their cases went to the supreme court and they have changed law, case law, for every lgbtq person who will follow them. amazing. everyone marching now, this victory is obviously tempered by another murder of a black person, by police in atlanta, but as we march and as we fight for racial justice and justice for everybody, we must take this moment to remember that our voices matter. that our protest matters. that each and every one of us can make a difference. >> and to that point, also, though, the president rolled back obama-era transgender patient protections in obamacare on the night of the pulse nightclub shooting's we don't know yet. have to read the decision. does this cover this as well? one presumes it would? >> my understanding according to my friend who works at the aclu, this decision from the supreme court today makes that rule moot. in terms of the discrimination that the department of helicopter and human services was try to implement around transgender folks in health care you because now we have federal law explicitly saying sex discrimination actually includes sexual orientation and gender identity. if it applies in employment it also should apply in health care and other aspects. my understanding of the law, according to my friend chase, sorry, chase, talk to chase if i'm wrong. that this is moot from the department of health and human services. insanely gorgeous. and hud wants to do something similar. different from the supreme court also making that attempt to make discrimination legal also moot from the department of -- what is it? hud. >> and we just want to share just how broadly this is now supported. the polling shows this as well as take a look at this rally. a black trans lives matter rally in brooklyn this past weekend. look at that crowd. it's extraordinary when you see, this is a large diverse crowd, as we understand it, from all the people who are reporting there, just look at the -- the resounding support. things do change, and this is one of the issues on which there has been more change in a shorter period of time than almost anything we can remember. laverne? >> absolutely. i think it's important for folks to remember that just because public policy changes, it does not mean that the heart and minds of americans change. each and every one of us has to do the work and hopefully we are all doing it now interrogate racism and culturism continuing hurts black people. ways we've internalized transphobia and homophobia. we need to evaluate this and so that the law that now exists can go forward with justice for everyone. this law does not bring back to life the two trans gender women murdered last week. dominique feds and ryan milton. does not bring back tony mcdade, the trans man murdered in tallahassee two days after george floyd. we have to change the hearts and minds and a lot of intersectional work to do around racial and economic justice in this country as well. >> such important reminders. laverne cox, thank you for taking time today. i know how busy you must be today. thanks for joining us. everyone, check out laverne's documentary "disclosure" later this week. coming up, outrage intensified after another black man is shot dead by a police officer in atlanta. that shooting already rule add homicide by the medical examiner there. time for change. all that is next. stay with us. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. around you crazy. people are normal then they hang out with you and then they're jack nicholson in "the shining". i'm gonna tell my mom you tried to drown me. it's an above ground pool! you're like eight feet tall! i see all the amazing things you have been doing. you are transforming business models, and virtualizing workforces overnight. because so much of that relies on financing, we have committed two billion dollars to relieve the pressure on your business. as you adapt and transform, we're here with the people, financing, and technology, ready to help. we're here with the people, fyou wof your daily routine, so why treat your mouth any differently?

who knows. age is just an illusion. how you show up for the world, that's what's real. what's your idea? i put it out there with a godaddy website. make the world you want. there has been an outpouring of anger in atlanta. anger and emotion today over the death of 27-year-old rayshard brooks killed by two shots in the back as he was running away from a police officer and a death now ruled, a homicide by georgia's medical examiner. his niece, cousins, widow speaking passion knit about about rayshard moments ago. >> on june 12th one of our biggest fears became our reality. not only did we lose another black unarmed male, this time it landed on our front doorstep. me and my uncle are both 27 years of age. 27 years of age. no one walking this green earth is supposed to be shot and killed like trash in the street for falling asleep in a drivethree. >> we must all agree to one fact. the fact that he was killed by the atlanta police department. the fact that someone's cousin, brother, uncle, nephew, father, companion and friend is no longer in this world. the trust that we have with the police force is broken. >> this is going to be a long time before i heal. it's going to be a long time before this family heals. that's -- like i said. i'm just thankful for everything that everyone is out there doing. >> mr. brooks' death after a long encounter with police when found sleeping in this car at a wendy's drive-thru and seen on the video taking a sobriety test, police say he failed. then resisting arrest, they wrestled. he grabbed an officer's taser gun and ran away. seen firinged non-lethal weapon towards the police and was then shot and killed as he was continuing to run away in the opposite direction. the officer involved in the shooting has been fired, and atlanta's police chief resigned over the weekend. the wendy's where this all took place was burned over the weekend by protesters. today more protests in atlanta including an naacp march on the state capitol. georgia officials say that garrett rolfe the former officer who fired two gunshots into rayshard brooks' back could be charged by the d.a. this week. also we expect an executive order on police reform from president trump tomorrow. and sieve's rights lawyer telling pbs that the creation of national standards for use of force as well as tracking police misconduct will be within that directive. the republican senate alternative to proposed democratic police reform proposals is also promised for wednesday as both parties in congress pledge action. that led by senator tim scott of south carolina. go to atlanta now. nbc's morgan chesky. morgan, the emotional from that news conference, emotion from that news conference is just overwhelming, from his wife, his niece, nephew, cousins. and the anger from people in the streets. >> reporter: andrea, you're absolutely right. you could sense that anger and frustration especially when this crowd marched on the capitol today. several thousand strong. that march ongoing right now. they left the steps of the capitol within the past few minutes as they made their way through atlanta. this is the largest, peaceful protest we have seen since the death of rayshard brooks friday night, and people here really making it clear that the momentum that began with the death of george floyd in minneapolis is not going anywhe anywhere. they're carrying that forward here. we're not only seeing signs of support for mr. brooks, but also for george floyd. for ahmaud arbery and trayvon martin. the names people are keeping alive in this continued push for racial equality and for police reform and that we know here in atlanta, after that one night where that wendy's was burned and an interstate blocked, there hasn't been any other acts of violence that have taken place in the city. people have taken peacefully to the streets to make sure that message is heard. meantime, regarding the investigation, multiple agencies have active investigations happening into it right now. i had a chance to speak with the leader of a nearby police union, andrea, and asked, is it ever okay for a police officer to discharge a weapon at someone running away? and he said, whenever mr. brooks turns and fires that taser, that was enough for that officer to feel his life was threatened and to return fatal fire. he is standing by the actions of those officers. meanwhile, the mayor of atlanta has said that the use of deadly force absolutely not necessary. andrea? >> morgan chesky, thank you. and houston's police chief san advocate for community policing who stood with protesters in heisten and attended george floyd's funeral last week and joins me now. chief, let me ask you following up on what that police union representative said. why would you consider, why would anyone consider, a non-lethal laser to be a threat to that officer's life, to the tent th extent he could shoot two shots into the back of the suspect? >> that's a very good question that has to be answered. quite frankly, the maximum effective range of a taser it 21 feet. one of the things that has to be determined is how close was that officer? and why did he stay 30, 40 feet behind so he could create safety by keeping his distance? that will be a question for the prosecutor and for the juries and the grand jury and ultimately a criminal jury if charges are filed, but we have to also be very careful that we not promote false narratives that tragically this incident was about a man just sleeping in a car. a lot led up to that shooting. speaking about this incident we need to be provide all the details and don't want people to think that an officer did engage in a fight with the individual, that a taser was taken away. it's important that we talk about what happened beginning to end, but officers have to justify when at the moment they shot, they have to have objectively reasonable reason to do it and in this case, it appears that, that may prove problematic for this officer. >> chief, i take your point and we did point out beginning of our program they were wrestling for quite some time. in fact more than 42 minutes. he did resist arrest, clearly. that took place. i've heard it said over the weekend that the officer in his mind, it became a man-to-man thing and that officers get angry. that they didn't want to see him flee. but that said, at one point you can hear him saying, let me walk home. once he, they say failed the sobriety test and couldn't be pemp permitted to drive home. what's so terrible about an unarmed man getting away even from the police officer when they had his driver's license, knew where he lived. he could be arrested later. what people are asking, who are outraged by this is what is the life of any individual, what is the life of a black person worth? to let him escape, if necessary, rather than killing him? >> you know what? i think those are really valid critiques, valid points. we have to, rewire some of our officers. in terms of we cannot be like a dog chasing the rabbit in the cartoons when we grew up with bugs bunny. we have to think before we act and quite frankly the sanctity of life has to be first and forenotice our minds. when it comes to apprehension, it cannot be the sole concern. everybody's safety matters. i think you'll see re-invention, retactical training for police officers across can the country for months and years to come, because just killing people simply for running away is not what we need to be doing as a profession. >> i want to ask about retraining. does there have to be a different kind of character test in recruitment itself? >> well, i think that that's something a lot of social scientists are talking about. are the tools we're using in terms of psychological assessment. are they, what we need them to be? should we develop other tools? i think the other conversation we need to have is, you know, there's a lot of talk about post-traumatic, you know, stress syndrome or injury, if you will. how often are we actually retesting officers? not just to be punitive but to actually be able to intervene and help officers before whatever they have on their mind turns into a bad decision-making and to kill an individual without justification. we have to rethink our robust psychological testing. not just for the entry but also throughout someone's career, outside of the fitness for duty, because fitness for duty frankly happens after behave sir manifesting itself. we all have to get together, and we have to do better, but i'm convinced that the best days of policing and community relations are in front of us, because of what we're seeing today. >> and i know you've been, you know, a standout in houston for your efforts with your police force. i wonder whether you think there be federal things? congress is debating this. you hear proposals from republicans as well as with the legislation proposed by democrats. we'll have more republican legislation proposed on wednesday. the president will have an executive order. are there things such as a national register? banning chokeholds that can be done at the federal level or does this need to be at the state and local level? >> it can't be andrea. that's the problem with our model of policing. not only inefficient and ineffective, everybody wants local control. sometimes that is good. sometimes it's bad. if you have politicians trying to actually manipulate law enforcement and use it as a political arm. we need to have national standards as relates to the critical policies in terms of chokeholds and use of force. and we need to have a national database that tracks officers that -- sustained complaints, when disciplined. and officers terminated, quick move terminations because tl there's 18,000 employers, some look like groundhog day going from agency to agency to agency, getting fired. getting rehired. abusing people somewhere else, and we know that none of us live on an island. none 6 this hatches in a vuk kule. wh vacuum. what happens in minneapolis, houston, l.a., it impacts the police department. i was invited by republican majority tomorrow and look forward to sharing ideas with american chiefs with our senate leaders just like last week with the congressional leaders on the house side at the invitation of the democratic majority. stay tuned. there's more work to be done, but it is time to act, fund, train, hold people accountable and i want to thank you for actually talking about this tragedy in atlanta from beginning to end, because there's a lot of media outlets right now talking about the outcome and forgetting to provide the context of what led up to the actual shooting of that individual, and sadly, again, we have to rethink. we can't be chasing individuals -- we have to operate in a manner that maximizes everybody's safety. >> thank you very much. point out, haven't checked it out myself, but some allegation from the family lawyer just now that there was a bullet hole in one of the, the car with people with children in it as that same wendy's drive-in. may have been one of the shots fired or -- another shot fired. i don't know that. but -- public safety has to also be considered in a public place such as a drive-in restaurant. thank you so much, chief. thanks for your leadership pe looking forward to seeing your testimony tomorrow. appreciate your coming today. >> thank you. coming up next, the fda revoked the emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine saying that the medication that the president touted is unlikely to be effective in treating covid-19. this is more than 20 states now reporting upticks in coronavirus cases. next, we'll talk to the doctors and look at why some places are seeing spikes and what is being done. if nianything to contain them. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. nice. way more unique fixtures and tiles. pairing. ♪ nice. way more top brands in sinks and faucets. way more ways to rule your renovation. nice! on any budget, with free shipping. wayfair. way more than furniture. leading armies to battle?, was that your great-aunt, keeping armies alive?

the emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine saying it is unlikely to be effective in treating covid-19. as florida fully reopens its economy, the state's infection rate is skyrocketing with more than 2,000 new cases each day this weekend. in arizona infections roughly doubling since memorial day weekend with the state reporting an average of more than 1,300 new cases daily over the past week. oregon and utah decided to pause their reopening plans as infections spiked in both of those states. alabama has seen four straight days of increases with more than 1,000 new cases on sunday alone. joining me now fro mont gm mont alabama. thanks for joining us. how are the hospitals coping? >> reporter: andrea, yes. hospitals here, health officials with this state say that right now they have enough ventilators, enough beds, to treat the uptick in cases, but as of this morning, there were over 26,000 confirmed cases of covid-19. state health officials say that this is a concerning uptick, and there are a number of potential factors. listen here. >> one thing we do know is we have ongoing community transition and aware some of our cases are epidemiologically linked, in addition to that we are aware we have outbreaks in entities that have contributed. also we had memorial day holiday that we know allowed us to have an increase in cases. >> reporter: and dr. landers you ladder from there told us they are testing about 5,000 people a day in alabama now. even with ongoing testing she said they still believe and still say the numbers reflect they are seeing an increase in cases. andrea? >> thanks so much. joining us now dr. michael osterhome, director of minnesota's for infection disease answers policy. doctor, great to see you again. how concerned are you about these spikes across the country? >> well, i think we're at an inflection point now what's happening with covid-19 in the united states. we have 22 states where we've seen increasing cases, you noted. nine states where it's level, and we have 20 or in this case 50 states in the district of columbia where it's dropping. we don't actually understand that. why is it decreasing in some areas and not others? what factors drive the increase in cases in these states? by the way, they are increasing. it's not just there's more testing. the percent of the people testing positive are also increasing. so this is a really key point. what happens next in terms of the rest of the country or for the world, in that matter, is going to be really determined i think in the next several weeks. >> is there any way to figure out whether this is postmemorial day? postreopening? it doesn't seem to be tracking with protests over the last two weeks? >> well, separate out both of those. clearly, you know, opening the economy as the term became known as people getting together. again, 22 states increasing. 20 decreasing. everybody in a sense opened up to some degree around memorial day holidays. we still have to learn this. all i would say now, anyone that comes on any show and tells you they have the answer what's happening, don't listen to them anymore. we just don't know. in terms of the protests which was an important point, we saw people coming together around the country that surely had to at least potentially increase the risk. one good thing, it was outdoors. virus going into the air and not having that infection dose 23450er y 23450near you. and on the other hand, coughing, and saliva, arrested, held in vehicles such as buses for hours before processed and put in jail overniall all which would increase transmission. as of this morning, no convincing evidence. limited numbers of reports of some national guard testing positive in washington, d.c. and nebraska. beyond that, we haven't seen it here in minnesota yet. in the next seven days we'll know about that, too, as well as the increasing cases in the 22 states what it really means. >> we did see pictures playing while you were talking about, from new york city, and the governor was furious over the weekend over lack of masks and people congregating in very close quarters down in manhattan, in fact, as well. let's talk about the fda, because the fda has now withdrawn that temporary emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine, which may or may not have been done under pressure from the white house given the president's touting of that medication? >> yeah. you know, i can't comment beyond what is obvious. the fda has made statements loud and clear that there is no recognized benefit from this drug and surely we know there are potential health effects that are not helpful. so i think we're beyond that. we just moved beyond that chapter. what we need to do now keep our eye on the ball what's happening with this disease, reminding ourselves that only about 5% of u.s. citizens have been infected with this so far. we know everyone in this country is at risk and will be at risk until we get to at least 60% or 70% of the population infected. we have a long ways to go with this virus. let's not get distracted on those kind of shows around things like this drug. >> well, we want to thank you for always giving us straight talk, and helping us get through this very confusing situation. >> thank you. >> where you point out we don't know a whole lot still about this terrible new virus. thank you, doctor. and coming up next, politics of today's landmark supreme court decision. this is "andrea mitchell reports." stay with us on msnbc. how about no no uh uh, no way come on, no no n-n-n-no-no only discover has no annual fee on any card. n-n-n-no-no there are so many toothpastes out there, which one should i use? try crest pro/active defense. it neutralizes bacteria for a healthier mouth than even the leading multi-benefit toothpaste. crest. today's landmark supreme court decision protecting gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination is a major defeat for president trump. how does this impact the election, if it does? joining me, michael steele. jonathan lemire, white house reporter, of course, for the associated press and jonathan capehart, opinion writer for the "washington post." jonathan capehart, first to you. the impact of this, this ruling is, is so broad and really does change the landscape of american civil rights and comes from the trump court it comes from, you know, justice gorsuch, of course, justice roberts, who was not appointed by president trump. >> right. it is a mind-blowing decision, and i think pete said it well. i can't remember which hour i saw pete say it. maybe top of your hour, andrea, where he noted how before, this ruling is probably, is more important than the marriage equality ruling that came down five years ago this month. then people like me were able to legally get married, same-sex couples legally able to get married thanks to the supreme court decision. but this, pete pointed out, everyone needs a job. everybody needs a job. so even if you are lgbtq and don't want to get married, you still need a job. what this supreme court ruling does is, it says that you cannot be fired because of your sexual orientation or your gender identity. and it must really stick, or it might stick in president trump's craw. remember, he campaigned saying to conservatives i'm going to give you a conservative court. so far he's gotten two supreme court nominees through the nomination process, gorsuch and kavanau kavanaugh, the idea justice gorsuch is the person writing the majority opinion, even a textualist, just learned what this phrase is, i think a lot of lgbtq americans were blown away by this ruling, because i don't think anybody thought lgbtq thought, that this kind of ruling would come from this court with that justice, the first justice nominated by president trump, and then the third thing that is so surprising, it wasn't a split 5-4 decision. this was 6-3. from a conservative court. so you know, for all of the hosts of reasons, this is a, a spectacular ruling. it is a just ruling, and i think it adds more power to the words over the entry of the supreme court chiselled in that marble, equal just is under law. >> and jonathan lemire, there are two main steps that donald trump took during the campaign to ensure that the evangelical republicans would join him, despite all the "access hollywood" and other questions raised about him. one, choosing mike pence as his vice presidential choice, and the other was that list of supreme court nominees. the nominees that came from the federal society. >> no question. andrea, first, echo jonathan capehart's excellent words. what it means for so many americans. you're right. on the 2015-2016 campaign trail the president did say that. he continued as president to sort of signal to that evangelical base. in fact, there have been alarms, warnings in the white house and on the trump re-election campaign his standing slipped what, particularly in light of the pandemic and his handling of that. in fact, that now infamous photo op two weeks ago, where he had lafayette square cleared to stand in front of saint john's church awkwardly hold ing a bible, a signal to evangelical he would still be governing for them. no one around the president is wishing any supreme court justice ill-health, us unspoken if a seed opens and president trump were to be re-elected he'd be able to fill it with another conservative jurist. today's ruling will surprise a lot of those who backed the president for this reason in 2015-2016. that's not going to change the overall message from the white house. final note, they haven't commented about today's ruling just yet. moreover, the president, who as a candidate did signal from time to time he'd be a friend to the lgbtq community has yet half way through the month to acknowledge that june is pride month. >> indeed. and to michael steele, you know, you head, as former republican national chairman, talked about expanding the party and instead with this president, what he's done, really shut people out. most recently with his executive order against transgender medical rights just last week. ironically on the anniversary of the pulse nightclub killings. >> yeah. i think that, you know, the party is -- is going through changes is an understatement. to say the least. but i think first off, i just want to acknowledge the last point that jonathan made about what -- what's engraved over e the, the supreme court and that is justice, equal justice under the law. i think it's important that people appreciate exactly what this moment means. and sort of bring the lens back from the politics. we tend to, you know, got into this trap and we do fall into this trap and jonathan and i talked about this. i'm not surprised about this ruling. i think it's a conservative ruling in the sense that it upholds and preserves exactly what the constitution says our rights are. and the constitution does not distinguish between a gay man and a straight man, a transgendered individual and a non-transgendered individual. it talks about equal justice for all. and i think if you are a conservative justice, and you understand and appreciate starry decisis and tradition of rulings in this space, this rule dg not surprise me. from a political standpoint it shocks a lot of conservatives, but as i've said before on this air and elsewhere, and certainly jonathan on your podcast. roe versus wade. check it. conservative courts will stand up as we've seen on health care, now on this and other issues. it's going to be surprising a lot of people, because these individuals that are being picked, if they are true jurists, and they are true contextualists, et cetera, they'll not come up in upset the applecart on a political agenda. so i'm not surprised in that regard. in terms of the politics of this, you'll find some people back-pedalling and trying to explain it, but there's nothing really to explain here. i think the fact that this was a 6-3 ruling in a conservative court says it all. >> michael steele, jonathan lemire and jonathan capehart, thank you all. coming up, superpower

moscow two years ago, held up a sign in a moscow court as he was sentenced to spyi ini and 16 years in a russian prison. the american ambassador to russia, former secretary of state, rejelcted the verdict. >> it is a mockery of justice. i can't say i'm surprised. this is the direction this case has been headed from from the beginning. but it won't lessen my commitment to continuing to work for paul's release, demand paul's release, and i hope all fair-minded citizens here in russia and around the world would have the same reaction to this. because if they can do this to paul, they can do this to anyone. >> joining me now is the former u.s. ambassador to russia for the obama administration, michael mcfall. great to see you again. this is being described as a sham trial. secretary of state says he is outraged. how do you explain this in a situation where you've got this bromance between donald trump and vladimir putin? what have we gotten from this? >> first, i just want to underscore, there's been no evidence against paul whelan. this was a secret conviction. evidence was very shaky. wasn't presented. he doesn't even have translators, it sounds like, to defend himself. and i applaud what ambassador sullivan said today. i applaud what secretary of state pompeo said today. they were great statements. the person who hasn't said anything and hasn't done anything is president donald trump. as you said, after four years of praise for vladimir putin, what has he accomplished for the american people? this is a concrete american being falsely held in russia, and you'd think after years of praise for vladimir putin, that this could be the one deliverable, as we used to call it in the state department, that president trump could provide. so far, he's been silent. so far, obviously, he has not returned paul whelan home. >> now, i wanted to play an interview that was done overnight with his twin brother. the family wants the u.s. government to take steps to bring him home. >> he's been held without evidence, without due process, the way we expected in the united states. we will continue to fight for paul's freedom until he is home. >> and one of the things they're asking for is something that the russians have suggested, as well, which is, quote, a spy swap. the u.s. is saying, john sullivan said today, the ambassador, who sits in the chair that you used to hold, that we wouldn't consider that. what are the reasons for not doing that? i'm sure there are a number of diplomatic reasons for not engaging in a spy swap. >> it is a complicated question. we have done spy swaps before with russia. back when i was at the white house, we did a swap of spies between russia and the united states. we made that decisioncriticized. this is different. paul whelan is not a spy. we don't consider him a spy. to swap with him somehow makes him sound like he is guilty. second, andrea, the two people in particular that the russians want to swap are criminals. they're not spies. constantine yar scheshenko is o them. they're people we've been talking about for years. that is another problem here. it is complicated by a third factor. that the russian press has picked up on it, you may remember that we did do some swaps with the iranians recently. nobody said whether they were guilty or not. we quietly did the swaps. we got americans out. we sent iranians back to tehran. so russians are saying, if you can do it with iran, your enemy iran, why can't you do that with us? >> very complicated indeed. of course, the president keeps talking to putin and not raising these issues as far as we know. thank you so much. good to see you again, ambassador. that does it for us for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow the show online, facebook, and twitter. @mitchell reports. ari melber picks up the coverage after this break. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz. the first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or moderate to severe ulcerative colitis when other medicines have not helped enough. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. needles. fine for some. but for you, there's a pill that may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. xeljanz. an "unjection™". with spray mopping to lock away debris and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the

brand-new for the united states supreme court today, and it may not be what some were expecting. it ensures civil protections for americans in the lgbtq community in the workplace, and includes a trump appointee voting for those protections. white house may respond at some point. we have a lot more on that big story with some very special guests. also now, a massive march which is being led by the naacp all across atlanta on criminal justice reform. this comes as residents are protesting the death of rayshard brooks, a black man who was killed by the police officer who was white in a
