Thank you Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Prime Time. The AG told us the Muller Report is coming within a week.

0:07.0

So what? The only thing that matters is how much of it is coming out.

0:11.0

And today we saw that the AG is playing hardball. The Democrats are suspicious and they have a plan to get more that is almost certain to get ugly.

0:20.0

We're going to ask the committee chairwoman who went at it with the AG today in their meeting.

0:24.5

We also have one of the president's biggest folks, California's governor Gavin Newsom.

0:29.5

You know where he is? Central America. And he has a reality check for you that you will not hear from this president.

0:35.5

And Democratic Congresswoman Omar calls Potice's top aide who is Jewish, a white nationalist.

0:42.5

Potice says that makes her an anti-Semite. Does it? Great debate. My friends, let's get after.

0:49.5

So our attorney general Bill Barr made it clear today that he ain't given what the Democrats want in terms of disclosure of the Muller Report.

1:00.5

And they made it clear they don't trust him and they won't accept anything less than all. So what are the Democrats really bothered by?

1:10.5

Especially the chair of the appropriations committee, a long time vet in Congress. She made it clear she was not buying what the AG was selling on a number of topics regarding the White House. Why? We have her.

1:23.5

Here is what Congresswoman Nita Loey has to say about it.

1:28.5

It is very good to have you Nita Loey congressman from New York. Thank you for being on prime time.

1:34.5

Always a pleasure for me to have a conversation with you anytime.

1:39.5

So even though I have an inside track because I've known you a long time, you don't have to know Nita Loey to know that the Congresswoman was not happy today during the hearing.

1:50.5

What is your problem with the AG? What is your concern?

1:55.5

Well, the hearing started in a very organized way. But as soon as we talked about that four page letter and I asked him whether he discussed it with the White House at that point, he just shut down.

2:12.5

So it was clear to me that the White House had some input in the letter and we intend to pursue our questioning so we get to the truth.

2:22.5

What do you know? When did you know it? We need the facts. And frankly, I look forward to reading not just the four page letter which we all have seen, but I look forward to seeing the whole report and I'm very pleased that another New Yorker, Jerry Nadler will subpoena the whole report so we can review it.

2:47.5

That's my responsibility as a member of Congress.

2:50.5

Well, let's look at it from the other side. Going the subpoena route saying you think the White House had input, the AG told you he doesn't think the White House had input. He thinks a member of his staff may have read it to them when they were releasing it. They didn't have a chance to control the content. If you subpoena them, you're making this a fight. Why not just wait and see what he releases?

3:10.5

Well, Chris, I never like to disagree with you, but I don't think he was quite as cordial and open in his role in dealing with the White House. Who did he speak to? Who reviewed it? Look, we have to get the whole report.
