we ll speak with him in just a little bit. we will be asking him about this new development, the israeli military just confirming that it mistakingly killed three israel hostages. two of them you can see on the screen, this is a developing story. there apieces to be increasing daylight between the united states and israel on the future of the middle east. watch this. i have and will continue to state president biden and the united states commitment to preserving space for peace. there s still a chance for a two-state solution? it s about time that the israel power time failed and we need to build a new one. let s begin live in jerusalem with nate foy. hi, nate. hi, martha. just hours after national security adviser jake sullivan left israel, the idf made that heart breaking announcement where we learned in the confusion of war israeli soldiers accidentally killed three israeli hostages believing that they were hamas terrorists. this happened in the northern gas stri
the committee, before a grand jury, some place, his testimony is going to be obtained. congresswoman, a democrat of virginia is a member of the select committee. she joins me now. first, i want to ask if you re in a position to confirm will clark will be testifying a week from today? as you know, we issued a subpoena for mr. clark s testimony but as far as when and if particular witnesses testify, not going to comment on that. as senator whitehouse said, as the subpoena indicates he s definitely a person of interest who we think have information that s important for this investigation. there s a question now about the what happens next on the bannon situation which is the vote came out. there s a referral to the department of justice. what is your expectation about the timeline here in.
employee of the government. yeah. at that town hall last night, the president walked back his comments about anyone who defies a subpoena should be prosecuted, saying he should have chosen his words more wisely. why the change in position do you think by the president? well, because he came in saying that the justice department was going to be independent of white house pressure. and so he should have said this should be a prosecution if in their independent point of view the justice department feels that the facts and law warrant it. he just said it in a shorthand form, and so they re walking it back because it appears to be a conflict from his initial position when coming to the office of the president that he would stay clear of interfering with justice department decision making. and you noticed that the attorney general spokesperson pushed back on it very hard right away, basically saying, butt out, mr. president. right. in some ways, michael, and we ve talked about this
boards to maybe thwart some of those growing threats that educators have faced when it comes to covid protocols, even teaching the issues of race. this has been a big republican talking point. but the attorney general, we saw him get a little bit rattled in response, defending his memo, saying this was just a memo not trying to tamp down on free speech, just saying any threats will be countered. kate. jessica, thank you very much. much more to come on that. in the meantime let me bring in cnn legal analyst jennifer rogers, former federal prosecutor. it s good to see you, jennifer. the way that the january 6th committee have been talking about this bannon situation, i will call it, is that it s an easy decision for garland to make. they are confident that steve bannon has no leg to stand on here in what he is claiming, which he says that executive privilege needs to be decided by the courts before he can do anything so he s not going to respond in any way, shape or form to the reque
to resolve themselves but the bannon situation, mark meadows was the white house chief of staff. there is a conceivable executive privilege claim. with bannon, there is nothing. absolutely nothing that he could claim except that he can make, you know, he can keep the former president happy by refusing to testify and the courts unless i m proven wrong, perhaps i will be, it certainly has happened before will not move quickly enough for bannon really to be forced to testify in this c committee here. there is another story about how this president and this person has used the courts and how it s just amazing. there is another don, you know, when the house just diciariry committee subpoed
