, wolf, we've seen that letter, that delaware senator chris coons sent to the fbi just days before brett kavanaugh was confirmed. in it, the democratic senator told the fbi that numerous people had contacted his office, saying they had pertinent information about brett kavanaugh, but they actually had trouble getting it through to report it to the fbi. in a letter obtained and reviewed by cnn, democratic senator chris coons urged the fbi to reach out to a witness about brett kavanaugh's alleged misconduct at yale. the letter is dated october 2nd, 2018, four days before kavanaugh was confirmed. coons writes he heard from several people who reportedly had key information, but had trouble getting through to the fbi. coons specifically asked the fbi to follow up with a man who sources say was max steyer, a possible witness to the incident, and a yale college classmate of kavanaugh and ramirez with information relevant to ramirez's allegations. >> an fbi investigation -- >> reporter: coons played a key role in the confirmation hearings. >> if judge kavanaugh is shown to have lied to the

witness who senator coons tipped off basically the fbi about because he had witnessed this and he told and senator coons told the head of the fbi directly please talk to him, and the fbi as we know had a list of dozens of people between debra ramirez and this matt stier who they did not speak to or christine blasey ford. why did they not speak to christine blasey ford or kavanaugh? that must be the first investigation the fbi never talked to the accuser or the accused. >> tucker: i can't answer that. i think in the case of christine blasey ford, she didn't want to talk to them. she was clearly -- >> that wasn't a choice of hers. >> tucker: i agree with you. i am certainly not here to defend the fbi on many levels. my point is that the newspaper itself has conceded in a note amended to the piece that the piece is a crock. the newspaper tells us that she can't remember. so, like -- >> the newspaper friends of a, quote, friends of hers who were unnamed. she hasn't talked. we don't know what she said. >> tucker: the newspaper is telling us as far as they know, she doesn't think she was a victi

least o'rourke's rhetoric. rashad, i want to play chris coons, his reaction to o'rourke's comment about taking people's ar-15s and ak-47s. >> i think that that clip will be played for years at second amendment rallies with organizations that try to scare people by saying democrats are coming for your guns. i'm a gun owner, my sons and i have gone skeet shooting and hunting and frankly i don't think having our presidential candidates like congressman o'rourke did say that we're going to try to take people's guns against their will is a wise either -- >> all right. rashad, does he reflect what most democrats think about this? >> i don't think he reflects what the majority of thinking is. i believe the clip may be taken out of context as he said, however, when a clip is taken out of context, phil, that means it's a lie. so obviously you will have those on the right utilize that one she goment, that one slip and not allow for the opportunity that beto provided which was context. they will do that against beto for a political point, but those are the same people who would argue that th

the chris coons comment at the end of the package. pat toomey tweeted the following. i agree with chris coons. this is an awful and extreme idea. thankfully there's not enough support in congress to do it. but this rhetoric undermines and hurts bipartisan efforts to make progress on common sense gun safety efforts, like expanding background checks. he went on the record, a few other democrats went on with blind quotes. there's a lot of hand wringing about what you said, agreeing with your sentiment but concerned that the rhetoric is going to actually backfire. what do you say? >> i think this just shows you how screwed up the priorities in washington, d.c., are. i think what's truly awful is a 17-month-old baby shot in the face with an ar-15, as happened in odessa. what's truly awful is 22 people killed in a walmart the saturday before school starts that next monday, buying their school supplies, innocent of any crime or any threat to this country, in fact living in one of the safest cities in america, el paso, texas, hunted down by their ethnicity with a weapon that was designed

his, senator chris coons, democrat from delaware who filled biden's seat. thanks for being with me. >> good morning, poppy. always good to be on with you. >> you are, obviously, very close and have been for years to joe biden. your children have referred to him as like a grandfather to them. you're very close to his son, the widow of his son, his late son, beau. when you heard attacks on stage last night about his memory, about his age, we heard it from julian castro and then we heard this from cory booker right after the debate. >> i think that we are at a tough point right now because there's a lot of people who are concerned about joe biden's ability to carry the ball all the way across the end line without fumbling. and i think that castro had some really legitimate concerns about, can he be someone in a long, grueling campaign that can get the ball over the line? and he has ever reason to call that out. >> he did lament the tone that castro used, but what do you say to those in his own party on the stage who are worried biden can't get the job done for the party? >> i thought

things haven't been understandable. >> let me bring in delaware senator chris coons. he's on the senate judiciary committee. but he's of course a very close ally of the vice president's who is at the center of this. senator coons, this is a real challenge for your friend, the former vice president. the more he defends himself the more he could help keep this story in the news, and at the same time -- like i said, this is a real challenge for the biden campaign in general. what's your -- what's your sense of how to handle this? >> chuck, i think this is a challenge for all of us. i think it's a challenge for those of us who serve in congress to make sure that the house proceeds in a deliberate and responsible way that shows that this is about following the law and protecting the constitution, not about partisan politics. i think it's a challenge for the media to do a good job as you did yesterday of focussing on the facts and on what donald trump has now released in terms of a call summary and what happened on that call with president zelenskiy of ukraine. and not being distracted

democratic senator chris coons urged the fbi in a letter to interview one particular witness, the same person the times reports saw the incident. justice kavanaugh has repeatedly denied the accusation and the "new york times" on sunday put out an editor's note saying the female victim in their original story declined to talk and her friends say she does not recall the incident. cnn is not reporting any details of the claim because we have not independently corroborated it. but that's not all from this book excerpt. it also describes how an attorney for one of kavanaugh's accusers, deborah a ramirez gave the fbi a list of 25 witnesses but the fbi did not interview a single one of them. president trump has sent tweets supporting brett kavanaugh, and goes on to say, the justice department should come to his rescue. ann milligram once served as the new jersey attorney general she's a professor at nyu law school now. thank you for being here. when you see the president saying the justice department should come to his rescue, does the president not realize that the doj is not his personal la
