gati s subbra gatienists used it. 156 years after the civil war ended this evil is still in america's bloodstream and that evil allowed to walk into the people's house and desecrate it. if you have any information about this man contact the fbi at 1-800-call-fbi. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. it is the top of the hour. i am brianna keilar and the clock is ticking now on history. democrats in congress moving ahead with their efforts to oust president trump from office. they are asking vice president mike pence to do it right now by invoking the 25th amendment. they floated a resolution in the house this morning but republicans objected. democrats have also formally introduced an article of impeachments that says donald j. trump incited vi ed violence ag

the united states and it resulted in lawless action at the capitol. we could have a vote on impeachment webs and democrats expect it to pass. today the national parks closed down the national monument, this will continue until after joe biden is inauguratesed as the next president. they're reacting to fears that there are going to be new protests, or action by pro-trump supporters. meantime, investigators are looking into whether current members of law enforcements or the military took part in the riot. >> people coming to demonstrate peacefully are very different than the people we saw storm the capitol the other day. and i -- i think that it will be shown that those people were organized, trained people, who went into that building. >> the fbi says they received as many as 40,000 digital tips so far as they are looking to make more arrests. amp seeing rioters with zip tie hand covers, federal investigators wonder if part of

the plan here was actually to take hostages, which would have included house speaker nancy pelosi, and/or vice president mike pence who had been targeted by president trump. i want to get to breaking news. the d.c. attorney general is looking at potentially charging president trump and others for inciting violence during the speeches given at the rally directly before this crowd descended on the capitol and our senior justice correspondent evan perez is following this for us. what can you tell us, evan? >> reporter: yeah. comments made by the d.c. attorney general, that is separate from the jurisdiction of the justice department, the u.s. attorney here. it's not clear exactly what racine is talking about, because the jurisdiction, there is a limitation on what the attorney general's office can really do here in washington, d.c. all criminal prosecutions generally are handledal by the u.s. attorney and we know that there have been comments

obviously from mike shirrwin, acting u.s. attorney who said they're looking at everything. taking a look at every single part of this, including potential for people who are inciting some of this violence. so all of that is on the table for the u.s. attorney federal prosecutors. racine part of a different office, part of the local jurisdiction and it's not clear to me what jurisdiction or powers he would have to be able to charge the president of the united states. he says the investigation is ongoing, nothing decided yet but it taking, it appears, a rather expansive view what his powers are and we'll see what exactly that means, brianna. >> certainly. so you're hinting at the fact that this may or may not yield anything. so we know you'll keep an eye on that, evan. >> reporter: right. >> to let us know if it does. evan perez for us. we haven't received any reaction still from the white house on this push for impeachment. cnn white house correspondent

kaitlan collins joins me. i know, kaitlan, you talked to sources and insiders. what are they telling you about where the president is on this right now? >> reporter: well, remarkable how isolated the president has been this weekend and disarmed with no twit iraccouter account off thoughts. 's often ramped up on the weekend, but since the president was banned from twitter friday we have not heard from him yet. k which is remarkable in and of itself. no other statements from the white house on what's going on, on the possible charges evan just talked about omp what you see going on on capitol hill with a potential second impeachment for president trump, which would make him the first president to ever be impeached twice coming down potentially. so remember this weekend the president was initially supposed to go to camp david with senior staff and allies. they canceled that trip pretty abruptly last week sggiven even of what happened. the president remained at the

white house, did not go golfing. didn't see him today giving the medal of freedom to congressman jim jordan, who played a key role what was happening objecting to the certification process for joe biden, but they did not let cameras inside the room for that event today. we haven't seen from him. we do know there is a chance the president was going to make a public remark in a speech, but doesn't sound like now that will actually move forward. we'll be waiting to see what he does the rett of this week and know he's going to the border wall, make a few other events about burnishing his legacy and now the president how his presidency is in tatters of his last few days in office. >> kaitlan collins live from the white house, thank you so much. learning one of the democratic lawmakers pushing for imeachment is receiving threatens messages. cnn senior congressional correspondent manu raju is on the hill. what's happened here? >> reporter: yeah.

congressman david sis lea cicil leading this in the house, received a series of threatens voicemails from individuals in the aftermath of wednesday's events on capitol hill. so a source provided our clear lauren fox with some of the threatens messages one says, if you impeach him, civil war is on, buddy. also a number of very expletive-filled rants that have been directed towards congressman sicilini. i should say this has happened to a number of republicans and democrats around wednesday's events and afterwards harassed as various locations when traveling. sergeant and a.r.t a.r.m.s incr security traveling through the nation's airport asked to provide itineraries to the relative law enforcement

authorities on capitol hill to be greeted by law enforcements and protected as they travel through. now at the same time, brianna, this comes as this push to impeach the president is fully under way. right now house democrats are having a caucus call to discuss their next steps, which include a vote as soon as tomorrow on an effort to try to force the president out via the 25th amendment and then come wednesday, we expect there to be a vote to impeach the president making him the only president in history who would be impeached twice. majority leader of the house, steny hoyer, told me he expects a vote could be on wednesday. also i asked about the discussion about when the senate trial would begin, because, brianna, you know, soon as they send the articles of impeachment to the senate, the senate has to begin the trial by the next afternoon. there is discussion about punting until later in the biden term. and letting him get his cabinet filled and the like and sending the articles later. steny hoyer does not favor that

approach. wants to send the articles of impeachment over soon as their done in the house. meaning a senate trial to convict the former president donald trump after he leaves office, after joe biden is sworn in, and the oath is making sure trump doesn't have another term in office. >> we actually heard from the president-elect who is in touch with democratic leaders in both the house and the senate. you know, seems pretty clear that he would like to begin his administration with his legislative priorities, but at the same time, this is certainly a situation the democrats feel needs to be dealt with, there needs to be accountedability. how are democrats sort of balancing that, manu? >> reporter: struggling with that. one of the big considerations. i'm told on a conference call on friday, congressman adam schiff chairs the house intelligence committee led the effort last time, raised that specter saying a trial would take place likely in the new term. we have to think how once we start moving down this road what

is going to happen next. he supports impeaching this president as do other democrats. that's what they are struggling with. why some floated the idea simply censuring donald trump. that is not as far as democratic leaders want to go, but brianna, some republicans i'm told have been discussing whether they should get behind a censure resolution to make it clear they don't approve of the president's actions, but stop short of impeaching the president. those discussions are still happening. at the moment pushing forward impeachment and push it over for the senate to act soon after president-elect biden is inaugurated. >> congratulations on chief correspondent. manu raju live from capitol hill. next, two men carrying zip ties wearing tactical gear are the latest arrests in the wake of that attack on the capitol. we'll have details on where this investigation stands. plus a disturbing report that the capitol police chief asked for help from the national guard six times as this siege

unfolded. the reporter who broke that story will join us live. and just in, house democrats moving to censure one of their colleagues for his role in the riot. one of the democrats sponsoring this move will join us live as well.

one of the first democrats to suggest impeachment after the siege on the capitol was congressman tom melonowski of new jersey who served assistant secretary of state under the obama administration and is with us now here live. congressman, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you so much. >> you've tweeted with spoken with republican colleagues who agree "president trump need to go now."

are you expecting that a significant number of republicans may vote with you? >> you know, i quit predicting what they're actually going to do when it come times to vote. all i know when we were there on wednesday, under siege, with our lives threatened, waiting to go back to the house floor to finish our work, there were quite a few republican whose were just as angry as i was and who were speaking in exactly the same language. right now i think a lot of them are afraid of their own base threatening their lives and also i think afraid of the judgment of history and their torn between those two, those fears. >> and obviously -- so afraid on the judgment of history that maybe they think the right thing to do is to vote against the president. are you saying anything to them to that effect? i mean, are you trying to persuade any of them? what are you saying?

>> i think what i would say is that we either hang together or we hang separately, but there is a violent, extremist insurrectionist mob out there that has been stoked and has been growing courtesy of qanon, courtesy of extreme people like the president for the last four years, and these people who stormed the capitol are threatening to do it again next week are out for them, too. they were shouting "hang mike pence." they're probably more angry at the republicans right now, the republicans who had integrity and certified joe biden's election than they are at us. and right now we need to find unity in this country against this threat. we need to find unity to restore law and order and respect for these rules, and that is where they get safety. >> you just introduced a

resolution to censure alabama congressman mo brooks for his role in the insurrection. to let viewers know, just some of what he said to trump supporters just before the attack on the capitol. >> i've got a message that i need you to take to your heart and take back home and along the way stop at the capitol! today is the day american patriots start taking down names and kicking ass! >> what do you think a censure would do to the congressman? something you think he would take seriously? >> it's a serious first step. what it means, if the house votes to censure and i believe we will, that the congressman would be forced to stand in the well of the house and hear the resolution read. it would be a scarlet letter, a vote of condemnation by his colleagues, and i believe, i'm

quite certain, many republicans would vote with us on this. but i think it's a first step. we're going to need to take a broader look at whether he and potentially other members did more than just say outrageous things. whether they may even have colluded in some way with these people who were attacking the capitol and threatening our lives. that -- that will require due process and investigation. it could lead to censure. it would lead to war sanctions, but for now what congressman brooks said to the very mob marching on the capitol to kill mike pence, to kill his fellow colleagues, that -- that's -- easy to judge, and i hope that we move quickly to do so. >> you mentioned the possibility of collusion between republican members of congress and some of those who carried out this siege. what questions do you have about that? what evidence do you have of that? what have you heard? >> well i don't have answers, and i'm not going to accuse

anybody of anything without anything that serious without significant evidence. but certainly there have been accusations made, including by some of the rioters on social media who said they were in contact with particular members, that they had planned the -- the -- the massing, the storming of the capital with them. i don't know if that's true and i'm not going to censure or expel somebody based on supposition but i think there's enough to launch an investigation and give these member as chance to answer for what they did or didn't do. >> are you confident that the capitol will be secure during president-elect and then president biden's inauguration? >> this was a wake-up call for america. it was a wake-up call for law enforcement agencies. i think they all know now they're not dealing with, quote/unquote, protesters or demonstrators.

they are dealing with a increasingly organized domestic terrorism movement that has potentially millions of adherents at least philosoph philosophically in our country. so i think they're going to be ready. and i think ready not just to play defense, by putting up fences and bringing troops to washington, d.c. i hate that, by the way. i hate all of these fences going um. we need to play offense. we need to go out and start infiltrating these groups. we need to make arrests of those who trespassed on capitol grounds as the fbi and police across the country are doing. we need to take this fight to them, to make clear that law enforcement does not stand with them. that they are on the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of history and they will be held accountable. >> congressman, thank you so much for coming on. we appreciate your time. >> thank you very much. authorities are still tracking down suspects from the capitol attack, because

thousands of people who participated were allowed to walk away. it's still not completely clear why federal authorities weren't prepared on wednesday, but the "washington post" reports the chief of capitol police asked for help days before the attack. two days before congress was set to formalize president-elect joe biden's strict. capitol police sund was growing worried about the size of crowds expected to stream into washington and protest. to be on the safe side, sund asked house and senate security officials for permission to request that the d.c. national guard be placed and standby in case he needed quick backup. sund said on sunday that they turned him down. and joining me now is one of the journalists who reported this story, investigative reporter for the "washington post." i think this is something that is, you know, this answers a question which is -- why was there not backup? and, you know, just explain to us a little bit more about what happened here.

i mean, lawmakers were trapped in the capitol wondering where the national guard was. >> right. well, there are so many things that have gone wrong here that we've learned, but in particular, capitol police chief, as you said, steven sund, so much falls on him and his force and the ones defending the capitol. he says on monday, two days beforehand, as you said, he asked his superiors inside the capitol security system, that being the senate sergeant-at-arms and house sergeant-at-arms if he could essentially have an emergency declaration to deputize and have the national guard soldiers in d.c. ready to go if he needed them, and he says that the house side said he was worried about the optics having soldiers stand guard as if there was really an emergency situation leer to be dealt with and then on the senate side, mike stenger, the senate sergeant-at-arms said that we don't need to go that far. informally call the d.c. national guard general, see if

he can have people ready if needed. that's not the way it works with the national guard. these are firemen, police officers. these are office workers in some cases and it takes hours for them to get back, get their gear and mobilize, even in the most urgent situations. so he was not only shot down by superiors, but then on the day of the siege taking place, there was a phone call in which he made, as he tells it, an urgent request of the pentagon to deploy the national guard, to bring them to the capitol and he says that on that call as well a general, secretary of state of the army's office, secretary of state of army staff, said we were bore worried about optics be soldiers there with policemen out there at the capitol wall. so it took, then a period of time after that for the department of defense, the pentagon, to fully mobilize the national guard. two areas of real big concern

now, the chief sund saying this was dismissed before the siege and during the siege it went too slowly. >> we've seen a lot of video after the fact that showed us just how bad things were. i mean, it was clear in realtime things were bad. but we learned that they were even worse. there was still enough information for there to be a call as soon as this happened from law enforcement, and i wonder, it sounds, then, like the sergeant-at-arms on both sides were operating under assumption that this crowd actually would not turn on the capitol. would that be correct? >> i think that's fair, and, you know, even the chief, who has since resigned and all three actualli actualli lly resigned so did bo sergeant of arms. some said in a public statement a couple days ago a robust plan for a first amendment protest and this was not a first amendment protest.

never seen a mob like this is 36 years of police work in d.c. and in charge of the inauguration of president obama. led response to the navy yard mass shooting years ago. says he's never seen a mass crowd act like this. so, really, they had not planned for it. even though he asked for backup, you know, in some degree, right, the responsibility falls hi him and so many to not have imagined the scenario that unfolded. >> aaron davis, great reporting from you and your colleagues. tlaum thank you so much for bringing it to us. thousands of troops on their way to the nation's capitol right now. the national guard plans to have at least 10,000 troops in washington, d.c. by end of the week. this is coming as law enforcementen in the nation's capital and around the country are bracing for more extremist violence amid the transition of power. the threat of violence is leading the national parks service to close the washington monument to visitors for the next two weeks. today the mayor of washington,

d.c., muriel bowser, urged people to stay away from the city and instead watch the inauguration on tv. josh campbell is with us now. cnn's security correspondent, and you know, josh, we're hearing this from the d.c. mayor, asking president trump and the acting homeland security director tom wolfe to declare a pre-disaster declaration and asking the trump administration to cancel public gathering permits between now and january 24th. i mean, those seem like obvious moves, but haven't happened. >> reporter: that's right. hard to look at that and not think there is a heavy dose of politics infused in trying to secure the nation's capitol. i say this, look in the past year the way president trump handled violence on federal property. portland, oregon, a group of far left extremists engaged in attacking a federal building. trump sent in the cavalry saying he wouldn't abide to threats to

federal property. compared to the nation's capital, we just saw an insurgence on the nation's capital. delay in sending resources immediately and now local officials are begging for resources and begging for resources that would indicate they wouldn't see a repeat of what we saw and yet we see a delay. hard to look at that and not believe that's politics. the reason is, because for the trump administration to declare a disaster in advance is essentially to say his supporters are responsible for a disaster. i don't think he wants to label them that, even though these are the resources the city needs, and secondly, frankly, i don't think he really cares. we haven't seen an indication yet that he cares about securing the city. he becomes a private citizen at 12:00 january 20th. it will be joe biden's problem. it you're a city official in washington, d.c. obviously you are very concerned. >> indeed. all right. hey, josh, thank you for that. josh campbell with us. just in, new cnn reporting on potential of the president's

self-pardoning. a panel joins us with that reporting, plus fallout from the attack is having ripple effects all over corporate america. the pga says its championship will not be played at the president's new jersey golf club next year. hear how the trump organization is responding. they're not taking it well. robinhood believes now is the time to do money -

we learned this hour the d.c. attorney general is now looking at potentially charging president trump and others for inciting violence on the day of the capitol siege. we have more breaking news now on the legal advice that the president is receiving.

our senior white house correspondent pamela brown is with us now. pam, the white house counsel is telling the president not to pardon himself. tell us about this. >> reporter: yeah. that's right. several sources tell me and my colleague jamie gangel, not only the white house, recently retired attorney general bill barr had been repeatedly warning the president that they believe he should not self-pardon. one source told me, they did not think it was a good idea. bill barr made his views on this clear before he retired last month, but both the white house counsel and then attorney general bill barr bringing up whether or not he could and should pardon himself. it's something he's been interested in, obsessed with, sources say, since the moment he took office and brought it up again in recent weeks. i'm told, though, it's unclear in terms of timing of that, whether it was after the, what

we saw the insurrection on january 6th at the capitol building. that, of course, brianna, brought renewed scrutiny on the president, and his role in potentially inciting the violence that we saw. as you know, the d.c. u.s. attorney said nothing is off the table in terms of investigating, and if it means they have to scrutinize government officials they will do so. all happening. we're told bill barr abelieves the self-pardon saying that a president should not be able to pardon himself. both believe in that stance. also we note the president's self-pardon power is untested. even those among the top officials disagreed with the president on this matter. i do not believe he should, but the president still could move ahead and pardon himself, almost certainly met with lawsuits, brianna. >> and what happened last

wednesday, how would it impact the pardons the president was always considering? >> reporter: i'm told white house officials are re-examining pardons the president brought up including his personal attorney rudy guiliani. also brought up his children, potential pardon for his children, don jr., ivanka, son-in-law jared kushner. i'm told particularly with rudy guiliani, concern now about pardoning him given how this could interfere in the investigation the d.c. attorney general announced. as you know, before the riots on the capitol building rudy guiliani was up there talking about trial by combat. given the circumstances and everything that is under investigation and being looked at, that is also something that they're taking into consideration as they figure out who else to pardon before president trump's term ends, his term ends soon. we do know, though, brianna, there will be more pardons before he leaves office. who that would be is uncertain at this point.

>> all right. we'll stay tuned. pamela brown, thank you so much for that. removal by the 25th amendment would, of course, end the president's ability to pardon himself or anyone else for that matter. joining me now is michael smerconish, host of cnn's "smerconish" show on cnn and sirius xm. also a lawyer. what do you think about the advice from the white house counsel about a self-pardon by the president, don't do it, he says? >> i'm not so sure if he were to do it it would hold up and if we would know for sure whether it would past constitutional or legal muster until and unless such time as president trump would be former president trump and indicted for some offense, and then it would be litigated. all speck ulativespeculative. unchartered water yet again for this president and a divide among legal scholars, most

thinkprobably wouldn't uphold. it's the president playing bow judge and jury for himself, as opposed to being someone exhibiting mercy for a third party. that's the nature of his pardon power. >> you had a caller make the observation that republicans should be the ones pushing for impeachment so that trump can't mess up 2024 and the nomination fight there. what was your thought about that? >> so, you know, funny you bring that up. because i put a lot of time into my radio program every day and try to figure out the direction of all conversation. that caller caught me flat-footed, because i frankly hadn't thought of the argument. the argument really is one for mitch mcconnell and other republican leaders. the argument is, hey, forget what the democrats want to do. if you want to rid yourself of a shadow presidency, or a shadow candidacy for the next four years by donald trump, you

should be the ones getting onboard, not only impeaching in the house, having a trial in the senate and then ridding yourself of that possibility for 2092024. provocative, isn't it? >> incredibly provocative to say the least. i don't see it happening. i don't think you see it happening. what do you think about conservative radio hosts warned not to repeat the president's lies about the election and voter fraud? cumulus media more than 400 radio station ace cross the country say, "will not tolerate any suggestion the election has not endeds, the election resolved and not ultimate paths. you will be separated immediately if you do." what do you think about that? >> i haven't seen editing like it and i've paid attention and been in the business 30 years. it hearkens me back to the late

'80s and the fairness doctrine. there hasn't been this level of oversight and management of content by an employer since those days. on the surface, i'm fine with it. on the surface, i think it means if you lie, you're out. so if you tell your audience right now therestill something in this campaign and it's not over, that's a lie and we're not going to permit it. i'm fine with that. i get uncomfortable if it 34506moves further in the opinion realm. i like defamation. hyperbole you can get away for. true or false, make sure it's truthful. gut reaction, haven't head the full momo, it's not available, but i think i like it, the memo. >> you think you like it. thanks for being with us.

michael smerconish. decides for the day on the unpreside unprecedented day to impeach the president a second time. >> reporter: house majority leader steny hoyer told colleagues the house will vote on wednesday to impeach donald trump. this would be the first time in american history an american president has been impeached twice by the house. this will be on the charge of inciting an insurrection. impeached in 2019 for abuse of power and for obstructing congress. this would be the third charge that would be approved by the house. he just made that clear to his members they will vote starting on wednesday on the article of impeachment. now, the leader of this effort, david cicilline told me earlier he expects majority of the house to support this. he also expects some republicans also to be onboard. that will be a question, also the question, brianna, when will that senate trial start? soon after joe biden becomes president? because as we know, just a few

days left in donald trump's term when he's bound to get impeached for a second time. brianna? >> manu, thank you. live from capitol hill. next, speaking to the head of "forbes" magazine. warning companies not to high any of the trump administration's spokespeople or the magazine will assume that everything the company says is a lie. hello i'm an idaho potato farmer. you know a lot of folks think of a potato, even an idaho potato as a side dish. but does this look like a side dish to you? ...or this? ...or these? does a side dish have a dog like this? ...or a truck like this? or a good-looking, charismatic, spokesfarmer like me? i think we both know the answer to that.

after the capitol siege, "forbes" magazine is taking an xoidnary step singling out trump's secretary it's including kailee mcen naen and sarah sanders saying let it be known to the business world high any of trump's former fabulous above and forbes will assume everything your company and firm talks about is a lie. we're going to scrutinize, double check, investigate with the same skepticism we would approach a trump tweet and

content officer for "forbes" magazine is with us now. you wrote the editorial. what brought you to the point of putting this out there? >> well, again, i wrote it wednesday night, because watching what happened at the capitol, what was happening was not based on emotion or bad actors. it was the foundation of law. the idea, and that was the consequence of lies. so what this is, is a private sector, you know, a -- a statement that, you know, patrick moin monahan said we're all entitled to our opinions but we need the same facts. there's a price paid for, getting paid by the people to inform the people, when you've been lying to the people. not saying everything that the press secretaries of president trump have said of lies. be honest. four years of -- so much

disinformation and lies. >> so you, your list of the fellow fabulous here, includes, this is the total list i believe. sean spicer, sarah huckabee sanders, kayleigh mcenany and kellyanne conway pap complete list? >> the four press secretaries plus kellyanne conway effectively the first two years former facing official from trump. all people documented, up is down, right is wrong, even from the very first day when sean spicer goes out and says that it's the largest inauguration ever which was a bald faced lie, that anybody with eyes could see. unfortunately that set a tone for four years. >> so, i mean, you felt the need to put their names out there. did you expect -- was this under the expectation they would be able to land jobs somewhere?

seems to be kind of the goal, right? >> i hope they land jobs. this is not an attempt. they'll all of fine. a message to corporate america as we have a national reset, we need to value facts. it you're sitting there and so many press secretaries go to big jobs. ari fleischer has a firm representing ibm, pfizer, lock harte, and amazon, a tradition. how do we take facebook or amazon seriously if kayleigh mcenany comes in, write about them, treat them fairly. but the issues we have to scrutinize because they're making a statement we're ak we people paid by the people and yet would tell lies. and they did. >> they have major credibility problems that most press secretaries do not have coming

out of the white house. do you feel there is a warm reception to this concept? because i wonder just when it comes to corporate america, we're already seeing them pull advertise -- pulling, you know, political contributions, for example, when it comes to, at this point, the republican party. i mean, is this something you feel is sort of going with where they're going? >> you know it was -- really was just a statement that this country, constitutional democracy, stack stats are at tt of it. we have a moment to come out of this better, stronger by reestablishing that the government needs to tell the truth and that people who -- again, the only focus on the press secretaries. not talking junior staffers or every cabinet secretary. we're talking about the people who were paid, again, by the taxpayers, to communicate to the people, and that can't be, you know -- there's always spin. and there's always, you know, lies of admission and things like that, but when you're

sellisell isell -- telling people what they see is not true and that can't be the standard. we'll hold these press secretaries accountable. it's no different than if the head of media inspection, for four years in america, bad meat's going out all the time and go you don't think the supermarket chains are going to look at every single thing coming through. what does that say about the standards that purdue has? that's the same thing >> randall, thank you so much. really appreciate it. randall lane. we will be right back. - [narrator] grubhub perks give you deals
