WEBVTT - The Next United States Attorney General

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>This is Bloomberg Law with June Brussel from Bloomberg Radio.

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>At his confirmation hearing, Judge Merrick Garland, President Joe Biden's

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>nominee for Attorney General, said domestic terrorism is a greater

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.959
<v Speaker 1>threat than it has been for decades, and vowed to

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>prioritize combating extremist violence. We must do everything in the

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>power of the Justice Department to prevent this kind of

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 1>interference with the policies of American democratic institutions, and I

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>plan if you no confirm me for Attorney General, to

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>do everything in my power to ensure that we are protected. Garland,

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>who is now a judge on the US Court of

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Appeals for the District of Columbia, appears headed for a

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>bipartisan vote of approval in the Senate, almost five years

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>after Senate Republicans blocked consideration of his nomination to the

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court. President Barack Obama joining me is Matthew Schneider,

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>former U S attorney in Michigan and a partner at Huntingman.

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.839
<v Speaker 1>So just give me your general impression of Merrick Garland's

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>testimony today. So it seems like the questions are following

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>into three categories. There's current cases, the Justice Department's independence

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and policy, Well, Mr Garland can't talk about current cases,

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and he's assured the senators that the department will be independent.

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>So really the focus of the hearing is about policy

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>and in general and but more specifically the focus of

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the hearing is about what policies will the new Attorney

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>General make that will be different from the previous administration.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>And this is in a variety of areas climate change,

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>voting rights, racism, marijuana, all very very broad topics. And

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>he said that his first priority, his first briefing, will

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>be to deal with the attack on the Capitol and

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that the tack was not a one off with regard

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to domestic terrorism. How much can an Attorney general's commitment

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>make a difference in that regard, Well, in this case

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot, because there are multiple cases arising out of

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that incident at the Capitol. Those are all being prosecuted

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>by the Justice Department. Because the US Justice Department in Washington,

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>d C. Handles both state and federal cases. So whether

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>those cases are charged in any capacity, that's going to

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>be a Justice Department initiatives. And if you think about

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>who Merrick Garland is, this is really quite revealing that

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>he began his testimony by talking about the importance of

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:46.239
<v Speaker 1>combating domestic terrorism and making that one of his highest priorities. Well,

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>look at him himself. He's already done that. He prosecuted

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the Oklahoma City bombing case. So this is a good

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>example of why there's really no room for on the

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>job training as a new attorney general, and Merritt Garland

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>is proving that. In his confirmation hearing, over and over again,

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 1>he said that he will make independent decisions about investigations

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>and prosecutions and that he wouldn't have taken the job

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>if politics were a part of it. But still he

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>was asked that question in different forms over and over.

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Was he not convincing the first five or six times

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>he said it? I think he was convincing. But each

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>senator wants to ask his or her own questions, and

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that is a very important question and line of questioning

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>for the senators, and I think they want absolute assurance

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that that is the case, and he's coming across very convincingly. Now.

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>There was a great deal of questioning from Republicans about

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>whether he would continue specific investigations and politically sensitive cases.

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>The Dorm investigation, the Hunter Biden investigation among them. Did

0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>his answer satisfy you, Yes, Because as u S Attorney,

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't discuss ongoing cases with the media either, and

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>neither ken a nominee for Attorney General. It is the same,

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you do not discuss those ongoing cases. And look, he

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>isn't in the Justice Department yet, he doesn't even know.

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.159
<v Speaker 1>He also stated many times, I haven't been briefed on

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>this case. He's not up to speed on them. He

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>really knows about as much in those cases as a

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 1>normal ordinary American might glean from reading the newspaper. There

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>was a great deal of question from Democrats about the

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department that Garland will inherit, one that was criticized

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>for being politicized under Trump and whose staff, according to reporting,

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>has gone through some tumultuous times. What did you get

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>from him about how he'll handle the administration of the

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department. I took from that that he will be

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.839
<v Speaker 1>an even hand, and he will be fair, and he

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>will manage that the department very very well. What didn't

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.119
<v Speaker 1>really come out in this hearing is when they're talking

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>about the morale of the Justice Department. What didn't come

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>out is what is the Justice Department. The Justice Department

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>is in the U. S. Attorney's offices. The Justice Department

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>is in ninety three districts across the country in every

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>single state. Those are where the Justice Department employees are,

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and the morale in those offices is quite high. And

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>that just didn't come across you mentioned that They were

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>asking him about policy. How much of the policy is

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the attorney generals to make? How much is he following

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>what the administration tells him? And does it depend on

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the Attorney general? It does depend on the attorney channel.

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>That policy comes from the Attorney general, Whether or not

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to prosecute marijuana cases, whether or not to have the

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>China initiatives continue that was started under Attorney General just Sessions,

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Whether or not to create an office in the Justice

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Department focus on climate change. Those are decisions that are

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>made in the order charts at the Justice Department, So

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.799
<v Speaker 1>certainly he can make a lot of those decisions himself.

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>In his remarks, he talked about prioritizing policing and civil

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>rights to combat racial discrimination. Any indication how he intends

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to carry that out. Another item that came up in

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>this confirmation here was the use of consent decrees. Consent

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 1>decrees to settle cases against police departments in the municipalities.

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Those were used in the Obama administration. Those consent decrees

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>were ended in the Trump administration. So the question now

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>is will Merrick Garland bring back the use of consent

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>decrees against police departments for police actions or wrongs. And

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 1>he indicated that he would. That is a tool that

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>is in his toolbox, and I think that's exactly what

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>we're going to see. We're going to see the Justice

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 1>Department using consent decrees much like it did in the

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Obama administration, and that aspect will come back. And what

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>about prioritizing civil rights? He plans to expand the Justice

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Department Civil Rights Division and to use consent decrees in

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the more forceful manner that has been done in the

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>immediate path. And look, everything in the Justice Department, when

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you move one lever, something else reacts. So if you're

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>going to increase the enforcement in civil rights, you're going

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>to have to look at other parts of the department

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to find out where am I going to cut back?

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Because the Justice Department only has so many employees. And

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I know that Merrick Garland is committed to enforcing the

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>work of the Civil Rights Division. The question then becomes,

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>where are those bodies going to come from if you

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>have to expand the division. There was no reference to

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>whether or not he's going to consider criminal charges against

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>former President Trump. Are you surprised that no one has

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>asked in that question? I am. I'm surprised that the

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>questions hasn't been and I'm not going to be surprised

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>at all of the answer because he's not going to

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>answer that question. It's a question that contemplates of future

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>possible criminal prosecution, and as he's indicated repeatedly, he hasn't

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>been briefed. He hasn't even met with John Durham. He

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>needs to get into the department, find out what's going on,

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>and then make those decisions after that, sort of on

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a personal level with him. Do you think a lot

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of attorneys would give up a federal judge ship a

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 1>lifetime appointment to become the attorney general, which is such

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>an incredibly hard job. Yes, absolutely, Look, Louis Freed gave

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>up his job as a federal judge to become the

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>head of the FBI, and I believe he did that

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>because he felt that that was his drive and his

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>purpose in life to advance the ball. And I think

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Merrick Darlan feels the same way. He is looking at

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a new step in his life. He believes that this

0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>is the right thing for him to do, and I

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>think he'll do a fine job at it as a

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.319
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact. And so for him, it's not always

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 1>about your job security, it's about doing what you think

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>is right. Well. But okay, so now the differences between

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration and the Biden administration are enormous. We

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 1>envision what does that mean for the priorities of the

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department. You're going to see a lot change in

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the priorities. And we're talking about the policy here, the

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 1>use of consent decrees in the Civil Rights Division, the

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>ability to charge people and give discretion to the line

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 1>assist US attorneys. Attorney General as Croft hit his approach,

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>which was less discretion. Eric Holder gave more discretion to

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the assistant at US Attorneys. Jeff Sessions was kind of

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>in the middle. But I think you're going to see

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>that Mary Garland wants to give more discretion to line

0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.719
<v Speaker 1>assistant U S Attorneys. You'll see difference used on how

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to prosecute corporations. I mean, if you think about it

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that way, when you were in the Justice Department under

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>President Trump, corporations didn't always have to provide cooperation and

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>an investigation. But in the previous administration under Obama, corporations

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>were expected to cooperate. And I think you're going to

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>see a return to that. And I think you'll also

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>see a return to more significant signs for corporations and

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>polluters who run a foul federal law. That's going to

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>be very significant. I know personally from my discussions with

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Deputy Attorney General Rosen that these things about finding a

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>corporation or how to treat a corporation, I know that

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>he thought very contemplatively about that. He thought very long

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and hard about those types of decisions because of the

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>impact that that could have on shareholders and the corporation itself.

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>We have to see what the new approach will be

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.559
<v Speaker 1>under Merrick Garland. If you were advising a corporation, or

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>if you if you were running a corporation, what would

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>you do. What's your best advice? I would say, look

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 1>at your corporate compliance programs right now, because the President

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, Mr Biden has said that he

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>will quote hold corporate executives personally accountable, including jail time unquote,

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>And if I were a corporate executive, I would want

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that nobody in my company, nobody was

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:37.319
<v Speaker 1>committing any federal crimes, engaging in wrongdoing, who was polluting,

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>was violating any type of regulation. Because the scrutiny is

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>about to come, Does Garland have a say in who

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the U S Attorneys are for each district? I mean,

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>how does that work? Not? Really? I mean the the

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>president will get to select the U. S. Attorneys, and

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>that really goes through. Often times there will be local

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 1>committees and the local U. S. Senators will have a

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of impact on that. And then once the U. S.

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Senators decide that they feel comfortable with who the U. S.

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Attorney nominee will be, that candidate will go to the

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department and will have an interview with either the

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General or the Deputy Attorney General prior to the appointment.

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.199
<v Speaker 1>But it's usually not that the Attorney General reaches out

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.439
<v Speaker 1>into the state and finds out who they want the U. S.

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Attorney to be. Usually the reverse, the state's reach out

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to Washington d c and I know you had a

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>special take on the issue of domestic terrorism. Let's look

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>at where we are kind of in a historical context.

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Any time that there is a significant act in American history,

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>often federal law changes. If you look at the Rise

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Mafia, the Congress decided that they would pass RICO.

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the Oklahoma City bombing, Congress decided

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to pass enhancements to the anti terrorism statutes. After September eleven,

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Congress passed the Patriot Act. So now the question is,

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>after the assault on the Capitol on January six, what

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>will the Congress respond to Will they pass additional legislation

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>that really gives us a more firm and usable domestic

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>terrorism law. That is a question that is on the

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>table really for Congress. I know it came up in

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the context of the hearing, but that's not really a

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 1>question for the incoming Attorney General. That's a policy choice

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that the Congress can make, and that is certainly to

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>be covered in the next coming weeks and months. Thanks Matthew.

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>That's Matthew Schneiderman, former U S attorney in Michigan and

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a partner at Huntingman Voting Machine company. Dominion is suing

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>my Pillows chief executive officer, Mike Lindell, you know, one

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>point three billion dollar defamation lawsuit for echoing Donald Trump's

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>hall has claimed that the voting machine company rigged the election.

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Joining me is Eric Larson, Bloomberg Legal reporter. So tell

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>us about the lawsuit, Eric, So, Dominion sued Mike Lindel

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>four defamations cause for months he's been repeating this false

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.199
<v Speaker 1>claim that Dominion was part of a vast conspiracy to

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>uh flip millions of votes away from Trump to ensure

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden's victory as part of this vast plot involving

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>foreign agents, you know, communist money and even the late

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Venezuelan dictator Hugo Shaviaz So uh he is one of

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 1>several people who who's been one of the loudest uh

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>amplifiers of these claims. And so the lawsuit was seen

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>as somewhat inevitable, and it was filed here just yesterday.

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>And Dominion claims that Lindale increased his sales by as

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>much as forty and would issue promotional codes for his

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>product like fight for Trump and Q and UM. That's right.

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>The evidence played out in the This complaint, which is

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>more than a hundred pages, includes a lot of details, uh,

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, evidence from Mr Lindell's public appearances, whether on

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of like a very conservative or right wing media outlets,

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>two appearances in person at events where he would be

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, ranting against this unfounded election fraud conspiracy, but

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>then at the same time also offering up promotional codes

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to get discounts on pillows and things like that. And

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of course Trump, you know, was a supporter of of

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>his company as well. He suggested people go ahead and

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>buy his pillows, so he that he got an early

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>boost from Trump, you know, several years ago, and I

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>was sort of was returning to favor here by going

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>on the road to suggest that Trump the election had

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>been stolen from him. Dominion had warned Lindale, but Lindale

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't back down, No, not at all. The complaints outlines

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that several warning letters were sent to Mr Lendell suggesting

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that he stopped saying the things that he is saying.

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Each time he would go ahead and get back on

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the air and repeat the claims um Indeed, after the

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>suit was filed yesterday, I had a phone call, a

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>phone conversation with Mr Lendell, and he doubled down again.

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>He a plot out repeated his claim that dominion voting

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>machines are specifically designed for fraud to steal elections. Um.

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, said that again that it was part of

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>a plot involving China and other foreign agents. Uh so,

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and insisting that he has mountains of evidence that he's

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to present in this case, and

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>even saying that he welcomed the lawsuit being filed because

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 1>now he'll have an opportunity to present all this evidence

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>in court and he's extremely confident that he's gonna win.

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:55.120
<v Speaker 1>He told you these machines were built to steal elections.

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a stupid guy. If I didn't have a

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred evidence, I wouldn't be doing this. That's correct, And

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.439
<v Speaker 1>you get a sense of of his approach to this

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 1>litigation here. Um. He said as well that he has,

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, put all of this evidence up on a website.

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>He even says he made um a documentary of his

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 1>own that he's put online. Um. And and the characterization

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>of the evidence that he's talking about, you know, I

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.919
<v Speaker 1>haven't looked through at all, but it sounds similar to

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>some of the evidence that was put forward and or

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 1>described in all these about sixty lawsuits after the election

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.680
<v Speaker 1>by Trumpler's campaign or his allies that all failed, UM,

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.440
<v Speaker 1>including several by Sydney Powell UM that have the same

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.200
<v Speaker 1>allegations about this alleged you know conspiracy, UM. But those

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>there were a lot of affidavits that they weren't signed,

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it was redacted, and a lot of

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 1>it has been like very explicitly debunked, UM, including especially

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 1>these affidavits around that Venezuelan link. But that doesn't seem

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.120
<v Speaker 1>to dissuade Mr Lindell UM. He again, he says he's

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 1>confident that he's going to win this case. Interesting that

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>dominion included in its complaint false claims he'd made about

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 1>his products. That's right. You've got a sense in the

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 1>complaints that Dominion wanted to Um sort of spell out

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>of history of of you know, false claims being made

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.439
<v Speaker 1>by Lindell and and My Pillow. And he did point

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.640
<v Speaker 1>out that in this complaints that several you know counties

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in California had accused My Pillow and accused Lindell of

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>making false claims about his My Pillow products, saying that

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, cured all kinds of elements UM like

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 1>cyber myalgia and restless leg syndrome and insomnia, and there's

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, they said that's not true. You just can't

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.280
<v Speaker 1>just can't make those claims about your pillows UM. And

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 1>he did reach an agreement with the prosecutors to um

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 1>pay of just about a million dollars fines and a

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars UH in donations. On top of that.

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:58.639
<v Speaker 1>So UM he also UH made some claims about a

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 1>product that supposedly with the pure or treatment for COVID

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.680
<v Speaker 1>nineteen UM that he insisted had past phase one and

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.160
<v Speaker 1>phase two trials and that the FDA would soon be

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>approving it UM. The complaint notes that none of those

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 1>trials took place, and of course the FDA did not

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 1>end up approving this. In fact, the FDA put out

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.680
<v Speaker 1>a statement specifically a warning people away from this product.

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 1>So you can see that there's a bit of a

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.199
<v Speaker 1>history of mister Lindell making claims it turned out to

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 1>not be true. UH, So they're trying to tie that

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>to the his claims about dominion. Thanks Erk. That's Eric Lawson,
