California has been 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: leading the charge against Trump administration policies, suing the federal 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: government thirty eight times in the last year and a half, 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: and the man behind those lawsuits is California Attorney General 9 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: Javier Bassrah. He joins us in our New York studios. 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being here, General June. Great to 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: be with you. Okay, so let's start with what do 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: you see as California's role in your role during the 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: Trump administration where the policies are an antithesis to what 14 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: your state has put forth in years and June, it's 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: really not so much about Donald Trump, It's about California. 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: California is forty million people, where the economic engine for 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: the country we shoved great written over. We're now the 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: fifth largest economy in the world. We need to continue 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: to create good paying jobs to keep up where number 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: one an egg manufacturing clean energy entertainment, hospitality, graduates from college. 21 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: So for us, it's a matter of continuing that success. 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: Anyone who wants to get in the way then gets 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: in our cross hairs because we have to continue moving forward. 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: So it's not about Donald Trump. It's about California continuing 25 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: its forward leaning ways. But it is about Donald Trump 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: and his policies and his efforts to try to roll 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: back some regulations. You support, your support, Well, Peter, we're 28 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: gonna do everything we can to continue our economic success 29 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: and to continue to keep our people healthy and to 30 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: keep our environment clean. And anytime someone tries to get 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: in the way, well we're gonna get We're gonna be there. Well, 32 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: you just tweeted about I'm sure you didn't do it yourself, 33 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: but your staff tweeted up a few minutes ago about 34 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: the um the latest plan of the Trump administration on 35 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: coal fired power plants. Tell us what you intend to 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: do about that, and uh, what your opinion is. We 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: are prepared to defend the standards that were in placed 38 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: under the Clean Power Plan in California. We have moved forward. 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: We're not interested in seeing thirty people die prematurely because 40 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: we're not willing to clean our error because we're we 41 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: use polluting energies, and so in California, we're going to 42 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: move forward. If the Trump administration tries to change that 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: and violates the law in the process, we will sue. 44 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: And there are a number of states who are ready 45 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: to do that. California will be among them. What other 46 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 1: issues are you watching in Washington that you could bring 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: a suit over? Wow, Well, we just had a great victory, 48 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: uh in the last week on the census. We are 49 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: suing the Trump administration, which is trying to deflate the 50 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: participation by people in the census for California. Anytime someone 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: doesn't get counted, that's a taxpayer dollar that we sent 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: to the federal treasury that may never come back to California. 53 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: So we're gonna suit and make sure there's an accurate account. 54 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: And the Trump administration has been undermining and your account. 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: So we're suing the Trump administration there. We are ready 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: to go to court if the Trump administration tries to 57 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: change the the clean car standards that we haven't placed nationally, 58 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: which California has led on and so we're prepared to 59 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: sue on that. And certainly we have been in the 60 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: fight to make sure that children, regardless of their status, 61 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: are treated like children and they're not separated traumatically from 62 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: their parents. So we've been involved in a number of things. 63 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: We just recently had a victory a couple of months 64 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: ago against the Trump administration when Attorney General Jeff Sessions 65 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: sued California trying to change some of our laws. Federal 66 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: courts sided with California. As far as you've filed so 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: many environmental lawsuits and the e p A has lost 68 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: three cases in just eight days over trying to roll 69 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: back Obama era regulations. Are you on solid legal ground 70 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: with most of your suits or are some of them iffy? 71 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: Not most of them, all of them? Um. The reason 72 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: we've had such uh dramatic set of victories against the 73 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: Trump administration, especially on the environment, is because the Trump 74 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: administration continues to violate its own laws. And we're here 75 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: to make it clear the rule of law applies to everyone. 76 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: No one, including the guy in the White House, is 77 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: above the law. Uh. Your colleague in the government who 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: is the Clean Air Regulator, um, Mary nichols Is does 79 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: seem to be trying to negotiate with the Trump administration 80 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: on these emission emission standards. Um, do you support that 81 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: as they're compromised there somewhere absolutely. Uh. In every effort 82 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: that we've undertaken that has ultimately led to a lawsuit 83 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: against the Trump administration, we have reached out to the 84 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: federal government. It is not fun to have to sue 85 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: the federal government. It's a it's a big beast, and UH, 86 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: it's not easy to win. But we've been able to 87 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: succeed because, as I said before, the Trump administration continues 88 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: to break the rules. You can't change the rules by 89 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: breaking the rules. But we're ready to sit down and 90 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: talk at any point in time on any of these matters. 91 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: And are there talks underway on any of these matters 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: like the emissions standards. We've we've held ourselves open to 93 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: continue those conversations. They've not been fruitful because the federal 94 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: government has not been willing to really talk in ways 95 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: that are meaningful about what we do on clean car standards. 96 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: But I believe it's been clear from the beginning that 97 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: the governor Governor Brown Mary Nichols are ahead of our 98 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: Air Resources Board and and I have been willing to 99 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: sit down with the Trump administration to come up with 100 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: a resolution. You were one of the first states to 101 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: sue over Trump's travel ban. The Supreme Court eventually upheld 102 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: that travel ban. What do you see if Brett Kavanaugh, 103 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court nominee, is approved by the Senate, what 104 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: do you see as his role? So I think it's 105 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: important remember it took the Trump administration three times before 106 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: they can get a court to agree with them that 107 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: what they were trying to do in discriminating against people 108 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: based on religion or origin ethnic origin, could pass muster. 109 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: I still think that the Court came out with a 110 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: flawed decision, but be that as it may. The Court spoke, 111 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: We'll move forward and we'll continue to contest where we 112 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: can to try to protect people's rights. I think what 113 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: we're seeing is that the Trump administration will push the 114 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: envelope in ways that it knows probably violate the law. 115 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: And what we're going to just simply do is approach 116 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: them and say you shouldn't do that, just like you 117 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 1: tell your child don't touch the candy you haven't had dinner. 118 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: Do you worry about Kavanaugh getting on the court and 119 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: end up setting the balance that Anthony Kennedy gave Listen, 120 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: if there's a robust process in the Senate to uh 121 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: here about the nomination of Judge just As Kavanaugh to 122 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: go to the Supreme Court. I think we'll end up 123 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: with a good process if if there's a if they 124 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: stop us from having the information we need, then get ready. 125 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Attorney General Javier B. Sarah, thanks for 126 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: visiting us in New York from California. I'm sure the 127 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: weather is nicer. The jury and the trial of former 128 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort is in its fourth day 129 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: of deliberations. Leaving the courthouse yesterday, defense attorney Kevin Downing 130 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: said Manafort was pleased that the jury would continuous deliberations 131 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: into a fourth day. Mr Manafort is very happy to 132 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: hear that, and uh he thinks it was a very 133 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: good day. As long as the jury keeps deliberating, the 134 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: defendant has hope, of course, although the jury sound of 135 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: question today that might change that. Joining me as former 136 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: federal prosecutor Seth Waxman, a partner at Dickinson Wright, Seth 137 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: in the first question from the jury since day one, 138 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: they asked, your honor, if we cannot come to a 139 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: consensus on a single count, how should we fill in 140 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: the jury verdict form and what does it mean for 141 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: the final verdict and they asked for a fresh verdict sheet. 142 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: What's your take on that seth? Yeah, I mean the 143 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: take on many people that are in the courtroom and 144 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: mind is that there may be at least a verdict 145 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: on more one or more accounts. It should obviously be 146 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: a very big step in the right direction for the prosecution. 147 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: And the judge told them to go back and deliberate. 148 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: If they come back again and say we just can't 149 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: reach a verdict on this count, is he likely to 150 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: clare a mistrial on that count and throw it out. Well, 151 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: So a judge will go through a process, maybe giving 152 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: two or three opportunities telling the jury to continue their deliberations. 153 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: It would be after two or three notes like that 154 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: and the judge telling them to continue the deliberations, and 155 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: if they still came back hung at that point, then 156 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: there'd be a mistrial. But this is the first indication 157 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: of a hung jury. If they were to come back 158 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: at least on one or more counts, they were to 159 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: come back with yet another note saying they're hung, my 160 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: bet is that the judge would send them back at 161 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: least one more time to continue their deliberations, and it 162 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: would be sometime after that that a mistrial would potentially 163 00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: be in play. So seth um, let's let's look at 164 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: the some of the other things that have been going 165 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: on in this case. Um. The judge has had several 166 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: private conferences with prosecutors and defense lawyers about the jury, 167 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: including a two hour meeting on August tenth, which delayed 168 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: the jury trial, after which he delivered a stern warning 169 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: to jurors about not discussing the case with each other 170 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: or outsiders. What do you make of that, Yeah, it's 171 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: not atypical that a juror may go off and look 172 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: at the newspapers or speak to someone outside the jury 173 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: pool to discuss the matter. Obviously that was be in 174 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: violation of the judge's orders, and so the judge is 175 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: just reconfirming his position that, you know, jurors need to 176 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: stay away from outside sources of information and wait to 177 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: deliberate until they have the entire case. Obviously, the note 178 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: we're getting today may subsume all of that. If in fact, 179 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: the jury has reached a verdict on one or more counts. 180 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: What do you think that will the jury? Um? Find 181 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: him innocent guilty what well, So, my that is is 182 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: that if if the in fact have been verdicts reached 183 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: on one or more counts, that those would be guilty verdicts. Uh. 184 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: It seems very difficult to believe that all twelve jurors, 185 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: based on the evidence that was presented, would agree that 186 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: on acquittal. So the extent there are verdicts that have 187 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: in fact been reached, Uh, my suspicion is is that 188 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: those would be guilty verdicts. Now that maybe one count 189 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: as opposed to or or seventeen counts, we just don't know. 190 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: Said they want to turn for a moment to George Papadopoulos, 191 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: And this sort of has been in all the rest 192 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: of the news. We haven't really focused that much on it. 193 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: But on Friday the government filed of sentencing memorandum and 194 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: according to prosecutors, they said he his lack of cooperation 195 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: justified a prison term. What is your What do you 196 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: think the impact of that is on people looking at 197 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: that or on other witnesses. Well, so that sends a 198 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: message to other potential cooperators that the extent you don't 199 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: play ball with the government, in other words, be truthful 200 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: at all times. That the will pull that plea agreement 201 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: and essentially find a violation and recommend to a judge 202 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: that they face a prison term. So that's a serious consequence. 203 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: And cooperators when they sign up with the government are 204 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: very clear through the defense lawyers and the government that 205 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: they have to be truthful and that is really the 206 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: number one requirement of every cooperator. A wild card in 207 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: all of this in our last minute is presidential pardons. 208 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: What do you think the president? Yeah, that that is 209 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: that is truly the wild card. I don't think myself 210 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: or any other former prosecutor or defense layer really knows 211 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: how that will play if in fact Mr Trump were 212 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: to do something like that. Um, there's a very strong 213 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: argument that issuing a pardon to someone like Paul Manafort, 214 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: especially if it were after conviction, would be tantamount to 215 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: obstruction of justice. But you know, we've never as a 216 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: country gone down this path where a president has in 217 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: theory a personal stake as it relates to a pending 218 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: criminal matter. If Mr Manafort does in fact have incriminating 219 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 1: evidence as against against Mr Trump, so you know, how 220 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: that plays out may will be taken up an impeachment 221 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: proceedings Seth, we've run out of time. We don't have 222 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: time to talk about the other wild card, which is 223 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen and his alleged negotiation with prosecutors for a deal. 224 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: Please come back again. That's fromer federal prosecutor Seth Waxman. 225 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: He's a partner at Dickinson Right.
