Used by groups linked to iran s islamic revolutionary guard corps. and then 10 rockets fired at green village, which houses us troops that occurring this morning, and now we re looking at this latest attack, and jake were waiting to get more information clarity on who was firing at whom here but it seems very much like syria and stable as it always is. we re very much getting a sense of that right now. alright. oren liebermann at the pentagon for us. thanks so much with us now to discuss david sanger. he s a new york times white house and national security correspondent. and of course, cnn s abby phillip, the host of inside politics. um what do you want to hear from president biden about the strikes this back and forth going on here? well the first thing we want to hear jake is what exactly is happening? obviously it s unclear right now , whether this is u. s retaliation continued or something else. but you know, the president now has a three part iran problem. part. one is what you ve ....
And ask them. these are the key questions that you want to know. i m looking at certainly all the documents we know that prosecutors have sent out several documents for subpoenas. i want to look at everything that january, 6th committee did. and most importantly, we just heard a clip. cassidy hutchinson . i would review every word that, cassidy hutchinson said, because she was one of mark meadows aids. she was by his side. she s already testified about conversations that she had with meadows but also conversations that she knows meadows had with trump so i would go through that testimony. very carefully and get out of red pen and circle all those pieces of testimony. why is it taken so long to get to this point? i mean, is it meadows we know is that the white house in january 6th one of the first witnesses, you would have tried to secure i completely agree with that sentiment, jake. i think it s been a failure by merrick garland that it s taken until mid 2023 from mark meadows to be co ....
Conversations about legitimate policy. legitimate strategy. it s not designed to cover up for disclosure about malfeasance or wrongdoing or criminality. this is a criminal grand jury subpoena. judges are very likely to enforce those subpoenas very unlikely to allow an assertion of his executive privilege and second of all, trumps a former president. and while a former president can exert executive privilege in very narrow circumstances. it is a stark uphill climb to do that, so trump is also trying to assert executive privilege to stop vice president pence from being forced to testify. do you think this ruling signals that that will also fail? i do think so, jake yesterday on this show, i said that trump had virtually no chance to succeed on the mike pence case. i guess i ll downgrade that even further now, but it s important to keep in mind. there s a separate argument on the pence case because mike pence himself is arguing that he s protected by a different legal doctrine. this idea ....
Afghanistan, or which is it? you know, i wish i could recall exactly what authorities there used. it could be under the president s article two authority. i just don t recall jake, which authorities it is used under, but i know that s being considered in the senate. that and maybe in the in the house as well, but that is an authority that needs to be extended. if we want to continue to conduct this mitch mission, which i think we should do you think this is the kind of thing that theoretically the u. s congress should vote on. i mean, if we have almost 1000 troops stationed in syria. they ve been there for years now. obviously there are risks inherent should the u. s. congress have some skin in the game here and vote on whether or not they approve of this well, one can certainly make the case since congress has authority to declare war. now this is clearly not a case of war. it s a place of a deployment, but we are engaged. if you will. that said congress is known about this. for many ....
Recall during the trump administration, isis was rolled back considerably, and the caliphate was largely destroyed . so those 900 troops or so on the ground there are working with our partners. and ensuring that isis doesn t rise back up and attack our allies and partners in the region or eventually trying to strike our homeland. so one of the rockets lobbed at us forces in syria this morning, miss the facility by about three miles is the technology from these iranian affiliated groups. is it not good? or do you think the groups did that on purpose to send a message that they could have hit the u. s, but they didn t this time. well, who knows, jake? i you know, sometimes you have misfires right? that happens in conflicts, but it s clear that for the most part, shia militia groups are funded and resourced and in many cases directed by tehran. and so the question is. why is this? why is this escalating at this point in time now, on the other hand, we ve heard from the body that since jan ....
