Letting us into your homes during these extraordinary times. We are grateful. The beat with Ari Melber starts right now. Hi, ari. Hi, nicolle. Thanks so much. Welcome to The Beat. Im aarri melber.

We have doj moves that have become kind of like a legal orphan, because barr and sessions and all the people in charge for trump, so proud of all the trumpy things they did, they dont want anything to do with this. No one wants to claim these things. Now there are reports that the surveillance also crept inside the Trump White House itself, including surveying white house kuhn don mcgahn, the doj hitting up apple to get his record and then an unusual gag order.
