>>> this is cnn tonight, i'm don lemon. it's already saturday, saturday night in new zealand. a city stunned. the prime minister is saying the nation is united in grief. that's after a gunman killed at least 49 people, targeting innocent worshippers gathered for friday prayers at two mosques. targeting innocent men, women and children simply because they're muslim. the suspect is a 28-year-old man, an australian citizen with no criminal history in either new zealand or australia. so he was apparently not on anybody's radar for his extremist anti-immigrant white nationalist views. in the age of social media the gunman live streamed his acts hoping for a worldwide audience. we will not broadcast that video. he posted a long manifesto online shortly before. it's hate filled so we won't quote from it excessively. cnn's alex marqhar has it for you. >> reporter: it's a diatribe filled with hate, anger and vows of revenge. 87 needily formatted pages posted on social media in the minutes before the attack under the name brenton tarrant, the 28-year-old now charged in connection with the

"cnn tonight" starts now. >>> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. you know, it is impossible to overstate the importance of our breaking news tonight. this is a day really for the history books. one way or another, a turning point in the trump presidency. after 675 days, robert mueller's job, done. the special counsel delivering his completed investigation of russia's election interference, possible trump campaign collusion with moscow, and obstruction of justice, delivering it to the attorney general. william barr sending a letter to house and senate judiciary leaders announcing that the investigation is over. so let me read you the letter in full, okay? so here we go. here's what it says. it says dear chairman graham, chairman nadler, ranking member feinstein, and ranking member collins. i write to notify you that special counsel robert s mueller iii has concluded his investigation of russian interference in the 2016 election and related matters. in addition to this notification, the special counsel regulations require that i provide you wi

hear from his officials he put in place. he doesn't deal with it because it doesn't sell, don. fear and anger sell in politics. he knew it during the election. he carried through with it on the wall. that's great, you got the wall. he wrote about it in his emergency declaration. he didn't driver eliver on it. this is "they." the people he says are going to let people go, that's him. those are his people doing what they have to under his watch. >> it's tough listening to some of those sound bites. i listen to it because i have to. but there's so much propaganda and so many lies. we would spend -- let's just say that we ran that whole thing. we would spend more time than the president actually spoke, for an hour and whatever, just doing the fact checks, just correcting what he said, just explaining what he said or -- >> that's why his friends want the standard ofony or it's fine. that's why they're jumping up and down. >> the starr report, this was 300 and some odd pages, the starr report was 400 pages. we were both around then and lived it. the starr report came out on a wednesday. you k

make you look small. tiny. >> little don. >> that's going to be my new nickname. >> i'll be watching tonight. >> this is cnn tonight, i'm don lemon. we have to talk about what the president said awhile ago at his maga rally in michigan. he needs to win it again in 2020. it's his first rally since the mueller investigation and the president spoke for an hour and 25 minutes saying exactly what you'd expect him to say. >> the collusion delusion is over. the special counsel completed it's report. total exoneration, complete vindicati vindication. >> so he says it over and over which doesn't make it true. we know very little right now about what is in robt mueller's report. just the summary, but we have important new details for you tonight. the primary obstacle for getting the full report is the grand jury information that it includes according to a democratic staffer that says congress may get a court order to release the information from the grand jury and we now know something else about the mueller report that is really pretty g significant. it's between 300 and 400 pages lo

>>> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. robert mueller's report on the russia investigation hotly anticipated on capitol hill and at the white house. it could come any day now. tonight, multiple sources telling cnn that white house lawyers expect to have an opportunity to review mueller's findings before attorney general bill barr submits them to congress. sources saying attorneys want an opportunity to claim executive privilege over information drawn from documents and interviews with white house officials. that sure to set up a political battle with congressional democrats and it could also lead to the perception that president trump is trying to keep information from the american public. there's lots to discuss. so joining me now, shimon prokupecz, garrett graff. garrett is the author of "the threat matrix: inside robert mueller's fbi and the war on terror." gentlemen, good to be with you. let's get to the details here. how significant is it that white house lawyers are preparing to review mueller's findings before the public or even congress gets to see it? >> right, it certai

. >> thank you. anybody want to do pictures? >>> hello, everyone. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon, and you just heard from democratic presidential candidate senator elizabeth warren in cnn's town hall at jackson state university in mississippi. you see the crowd still there. the senator no doubt heading down to that audience, answering questions from the audience members for well over an hour. you can see she's still there. she's going to take some questions from the folks now informally, not in front of the camera. but she answered a lot of questions, handled herself pretty well this evening. i didn't get to see the entire thing as i was getting ready to come in here, but it seems like she had an answer for everything. i didn't see any moments that, you know, might preclude her from having to -- well, at least she won't have to answer them at least. she may have to follow up, but i didn't see anythings that going to hurt her in there. i want to bring in julie pace, austin herndon. mark preston. there he is. mark preston, you're there. not sure if he can see us. good evening to all of

standing by quietly as he does this, you do it too. thank you for watching "cnn tonight with don lemon" starts right now. >>> and our lawmakers standing up against that may be the only recourse we have. did you see the new reporting by cnn about administration officials believe that the way the special counsel's regulations are written -- >> yes. >> -- that it may protect the president if he's not charged -- if he's not charged for a crime for any negative information about him being released to the public. so we may never know. >> i disagree. you're right about what you're positing, that we may never know the details in the form of the special counsel's report released that way. i agree. i do not agree that the regs demand that. i think there is a measure of discretion. i think the bigger hurdle or actually the doj customary guidelines of if there's no indictment you don't release derogatory information about someone who is unindicted, but this is not a normal prosecution. there is provision in this special counsel provisions in the regs for there to be a special dispensation an

>>> this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon. major developments on the mueller report. attorney general william barr in a letter to congress says he's well along in making redactions and expects to get the nearly 400 page report to capitol hill by mid april and possibly sooner. he plans to release it to the american public, but he says he's not planning to send it to the white house for an executive privilege review. we're learning robert mueller himself is insisting justice department officials in making the redaction. but there's pushback tonight from the chairman of the house judiciary committee. chairman, congressman jerry nadler wants the report on his desk by next tuesday april 2nd. the deadline democrats gave barr earlier this week and nadler said he wants to see it full and complete without redactions. let's discuss. evan perez joins me now. good evening to you. let's talk about this. barr said the justice department is well along in the process of redacting the almost 400 page report. how much should we expect to see? >> we're not going to see the whole thing and that's where i

. kushner a top security clearance. the white house counsel at the time, don mcgahn also wrote an internal memo outlining the concerns he had raised -- that had been raised about mr. kushner including the cia and about how -- and how don mcgahn had recommended that he not been giving a top secret clearance. frank, how odd would it be for somebody who's in substantial debt, somebody who's in need of money, somebody who has taken meetings including trying to get a secret back channel to the kremlin, for that person who's got all these red flags coming up from the cia to still get a security clearance? >> the word unprecedented is overused but i can tell you that in my 25 years including in the fbi, including running counterintelligence, i've seen serious issues, i've seen clearance decisions made and not made. this is unprecedented and when you hear that his form had to be changed maybe 100 times, that has never in my experience happened with the clearance then later being granted because it smacks of deception. you can't forget 100 things on your form. he had to be corrected likely

>>> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. the city of chicago going after "empire" actor jussie smollett demanding he pay more than $130,000 to cover the cost of the investigation into his claims that he was the victim of a hate crime. smollett was charged with staging the attack against himself, but prosecutors dropped all the charges against him on tuesday. stunning just about everyone, including mayor rahm emanuel. >> given that he doesn't feel any sense of contrition and remorse, my recommendation is when he writes the check in the memo section, he can put the word "i'm accountable" for the hoax. >> even president trump is condemning the move by prosecutors to drop the case saying this tonight at a political rally in michigan. >> he said he was attacked by maga country. did you ever hear that one? [ booing ] maybe the only time i've ever agreed with the mayor of chicago. maybe. that's a terrible situation. that's an embarrassment, not only to chicago, that is an embarrassment to our country. >> so let's discuss now. laura coates is here, scott jennings, charles blow will be

. it's their currency. that's why he won't repeat the same things that he used to say, don. if he was what he says he is, a truth teller, not afraid of the lefty mob, you're not going to make me -- then he would say them again right now, but he won't, because he likes that money and he likes that platform he has. that's the truth. >> all you have to do is when you're listening to that, if you just do a fact check on most of the -- many of the things that are said in the opinion part, which is all of primetime on that network. but also here's what i find people are doing now. rather than addressing, which we don't do here. if we make a mistake or if we say something that's controversial and we want to stand by it, we back it up with the facts behind it, right? this is why we said it. you may not like it. you may think it's biased, whatever. these are the facts. as journalists, we have to give you the facts. what happens there is you don't talk about the substance of what you said or if there's -- if it's factual or not. you don't talk about that. what you do is, you say everybody's out

optimism. i used to be a glass half full kind of guy. i'm empty. >> no future in dfrgs, don. only bad things happen. >> this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon. we have got to talk about the rise of white supremacy. sit back and please listen. just listen, okay? i'm going to lay it all out for you right now. we've got to talk about how it's killing people around the world. we know the latest. 49 muslim worshippers shot in attacks on two mosques in new zealand, yet today today the president of the united states, who had just gotten off the phone with the prime minister, offering his condolences after what can only be called a brutal terror attack, the president said this -- >> do you think that they were white nationalists are a rising threat around the world? >> i don't really. i think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems i guess. >> he doesn't see it as a rising thre threat, even though that's what the facts show. just hours after the murders of 49 people. just hours after the alleged shooter, an avowed white nationalist, posted a so-called manifesto online,

>>> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. a justice department official confirming today that it will take weeks, not months to release a public version of the special counsel robert mueller's report. the official adding there are no plans to give an advanced copy to the white house. here's what the president had to say about it just today. >> the mueller report was great. it could not have been better. it said no obstruction, no collusion. it could not have been better. >> first of all, it's not true that the report said no obstruction and no collusion, but we'll get to that later. let's all please take a deep breath and back this train up for a moment. the president was just talking about the mueller report. but we don't have the mueller report. and according to the white house and to justice department officials neither does the president. what we have and what the president is talking about is attorney general bill barr's letter. it is a letter outlining the so-called principle conclusions of mueller's report. but how can a four-page letter that barely quotes from the actual

>>> this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon, and there are new questions tonight about whether president trump tried to influence the justice department investigation of michael cohen. the chairman of the house judiciary committee saying the former acting attorney general matthew whitaker in a meeting with committee members today did not deny talking to the president about the case. we're going to dig into the whole thing in just a moment. and that comes on what is definitely not a good night for paul manafort. the president's former campaign chairman accused of 16 counts of mortgage fraud, falsifying business records and conspiracy. those charges filed shortly after he was given even more prison time from his second federal trial for a total of 7 1/2 years behind bars. as you can see there's lots to discuss. shimon prokupecz is here, matthew rosenberg, susan glasser. good evening to one and all. shimon, let's start with you. manafort is set to serve for a total of 7 1/2 years. it marks the end of the special counsel's prosecution of him. on tuesday mueller said he was done wor

tomorrow. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. it's not what matt whitaker said today. it's what he didn't say that is making news. the former acting attorney general meeting behind closed doors with top members of the house judiciary committee. a meeting to clarify whitaker's public testimony last month, testimony that, you remember, amounted to six hours of bobbing and weaving, designed to impress an audience of one. you know who that is, right? well, today, whitaker did not deny talking with president trump about michael cohen's case. listen to the chairman, jerry nadler. >> unlike in the hearing room, mr. whitaker did not deny that the president called him to discuss the michael cohen case and personnel decisions in the southern district. >> now, that may have been a bit more bobbing and weaving by whitaker, who seems to be an expert. he did not deny, did not say no when he was pressed about whether the president called him to discuss cohen's case. but here's what he said publicly in the hearing room. here it is. >> did you communicate to donald trump or any senior white hous

don't, who will? thank you for watching us tonight. "cnn tonight with don lemon" starts right now. >> the last question is a good one, who womeill? certainly not most people in the administration. his spokespeople. including the person you had on tonight. they just cannot do it. i just don't understand. >> oh, they can. they choose not to. i've never seen kellyanne less effective in defense of the president than she was tonight. i think that's maybe just getting too hard to do. >> so here's the thing, then, this show i feel. do what you want. she never answers a question. she berates you. she's condescending. she uses our network for, to give her talking points. for me, it feels beneath the dignity of this network to have someone on who just constantly lies and misconstrues things and i feel like having someone on like that is giving them a platform that they have not earned. when you come on cnn, you have an obligation to be honest to the american people. you can give your opinion. you can give your take. but it is a privilege to come on this network and speak to the american peo

supporters. if i might, don, i do disagree with charles on one point. this was a big deal when it happened. i know smollett is not the most famous person in the world, but he is well known, and when this happened, it was a huge story in the media when the narrative started to come out that it was trump supporters that had attacked this guy in chicago. it wasn't smollett's fame that made it a big deal. this became an enormous story and so it was famous when it happened all over the country and then of course when it became a hoax, it got even more famous. so i recognize he's not the biggest star, but you have to admit, this story was global almost instantly because of the narrative that a lot of people wanted to believe but turned tout be out to be a hoax. >> yeah, that's all we have time for. i have other stuff to get to. thank you so much. >>> the president's congressional allies are on the attack against one of his harshest critics, congressman adam schiff who chairs the house intel committee. the republican members of that committee calling on schiff to resign but he's definitely not backi

staff john kelly, then white house counsel, don mcgahn, and intelligence officials who had red flagged kushner's application. in fact, "the times" reports that both mcgahn and kelly were so troubled by trump's decision, that they wrote internal memos about this very incident. it was nbc that reported that kushner's application for top-secret clearance was initially rejected my the white house security special ists, after an fbi background check raised questions about kushner's family business, his foreign contacts, his foreign travel, and meetings he personally had during the campaign. nbc reported that the specialists were overruled by their supervisor, but "the times" says that the decision came from president trump, himself. it says, quote, in may 2018, the white house counsel's office, which at the time was led by mr. mcgahn, was recommended to mr. trump that mr. kushner not be given clearance at the top-secret level. but the next day, mr. trump ordered mr. kelly to grant it to mr. kushner anyway. "the washington post" says the president gave the order, quote, after kushner and his

. people are really upset don junior and jared kushner not being brought up or indicted. well, that's a possibility too. maybe it's a counterintelligence component where we don't want to talk about that, but that could be turned over to the southern district of new york for even worse punishment like money laundering or something along those lines. we just don't know. >> now, ken, the other thing that a lot of people are concerned about is that mueller never questioned the president. there was written questions given, they were answered in written answers. there were rumors that may ask for more. how do you read into the fact that there was not more requested of the president and an in-person interview by the special counsel? >> i think it's regrettable because, after all, bill clinton submitted questions to counsel. hillary clinton was interviewed by the fbi's investigation of her. but there's a lot of explanations for it. the most plausible is the president's attorneys made clire to robert mueller that they were never going to sit for an interview. if it came to a subpoena,

witch hunt. we were set up. it's not true, don. the american people have to know it's not true. just because somebody is not found guilty of a crime doesn't mean it was wrong to ask the questions in the first place. >> listen, i said this last night. it doesn't say that there was no evidence. it says that they did not -- right? what's the exact language? the exact language is -- >> didn't constitute a crime. >> yeah. it didn't say it didn't constitute a crime. it says -- >> yeah, it says that. >> did not establish. that's what it says. >> they use different verbs. they use constitute. they use establish. what they don't say is collusion because collusion is a behavior, not a crime. the distinction matters in legal analysis. i don't like that people conflate them because it winds up giving the misimpression of what people mean, like me, when i say, was there collusion? yes. was it criminal? not that i've seen. and that's held true so far. >> listen, we don't know. this is barr's assessment. even beyond that, let's just say it comes out and barr was off on his assessment, whateve
