of washington, d.c., the fbi was obviously here, the national guard, and later on this evening, the atf, as well. we are hopeful that this is an anomaly. this is something we will never see happen again, and i think i speak for all americans when i say this is a day we won't soon forget. john? >> john: it was an awful day, and the scenes were quite repulsive. thanks very much, kevin corke, reporting live outside the u.s. capitol building. gillian? >> gillian: lots of americans anticipated to showdown on the hill today over electoral college vote counting. but no one could have foreseen a violent mob would penetrate a joint session of congress. leaving four americans dead and many more injured. mike tobin has been on the scene literally all day long. he joins us live from the streets just outside the capitol. hi, mike. >> hi, gillian. we know now come of this work of people who died in the chaos out here, you had that one woman who was shot, the chief of the metro police has confirmed she was shot by a capital police officer. her name is ashli babbitt, she is from the west coast. she was

they were disabled and destroyed by capitol police and the atf. that is all obviously being vetted and investigated. what was the purpose for them to be planted. was it a diversion type of tactic being used by the rioters or some other type of the purpose. that's what the atf and fbi are looking at as we speak right now. and looking for the persons that planted those devices. in terms of the conduct replated to planting the pipe bombs, the mentioned of domestic terrorism. i don't like this tyranny of label saying this act of domestic terrorism. we have plenty of federal resources at our disposal, plenty of federal charges to address this conduct from full any murder related to the use of destructive devices under the federal code that has significant penalties. as mentioned with this strike force established to focus on sedition charges, we're looking and treating this like a significant international counter terrorism operation. we're looking at money, travel records, looking at disposition, movement, communication records. so no resource related

they were news reports there were pipe bombs found outside the capitol, the atf is working on that, metro police is working on that, fbi's working on that define the individual or individuals who planted those devices. so in addition to just those rogue cases were looking at, or going to focus on the most significant charges as a deterrent. because regardless of who it was just a trespass in the capitol or someone planted a pipe bomb, you will be charged and you will be found. in addition to that we also focused on an emphasis on assault and battery on police officers. both federal officers and local and pd officers that were assaulted. as the days go on, there's going to be more social media and people will recognize some instances capitol police were openhanded combat with some of these persons inside the capitol. where teargas was used on capitol police and federal officers. their use against some of these rioters. the pictures going to build printing there's a lot of misconceptions about what happened within the capitol. is going to come into laser focus of the next weeks and days. th

the atf is working on that, the fbi is workingndividual or indi who planted those devices. so in addition to just those rogue cases we're looking at, we'll focus on the most significant charges. regardless if it was just a trespass on the capitol or someone planted a pipe bomb, you will be charged and you will be found. in addition to that, we've also focused on an emphasis on assault and battery on police officers, both federal officers and local mpd officers that were assaulted. as the date goes on, there will be more social media and people will recognize that in some instances, it's they were in open handed combat with some of these persons inside the capitol where tear gas was used on the capitol police and federal officers. they are also used against some of these he rioters. so the picture will build. i think there's a lot of misconceptions about what happened within the capitol and it will come into laser focus over the next weeks and days. i think people will be shocked with some of the egregious contact that happened within the capitol. the third emphasis that our

the fact that the fbi and atf have so little to go on here tells you the level of planning here, ands that this person was a little more sophisticated than we had initially thought. the other thing, of course, law enforcement thinks that perhaps these devices were placed there to try and divert law enforcement as they were responding to the insurrection. again, that would be significant also because it goes behind the idea that the insurrection was much more planned than certainly law enforcement had initially thought. >> you don't plan pipe bombs the night before for some spontaneous developments. shimon prokupecz, very important reporting. please keep us updated as the ve investigation goes forward. >>> a feud in the house, and the mood, especially since the insurrection, is beyond raw. - i'm norm. - i'm szasz.

the fbi and atf are on the scene. cong has reconvened. we will monitor their proceedings. this morning we witnessed a massive peaceful protest in support of president trump. hundreds of thousands of law ar abiding americans from across the country. on the senate floor senator ted cruz was leading an effort to force a 10 day emergency audit of the election results to address the concerns -- 83% of republicans and 30% of independence and millions of democrats that saw irregularities and their strong belief the election was fraudulent. following a planned march to the capital chaos ensighed. -- ensued. some capitol police were hurt and the capitol was breached. vice-president pence and all members of congress were forced to evacuate. some made their way to the senate floor and others broke into speaker pelosi's office and posed for pictures. one woman was shot and later died. she was killed. possible explosive device were discovered and safely removed at the headquarters of the rnc and two other locations. let me stop here and be crystal clear: those who support president tru

i mean, we got that in under cover meetings, on tape, on pamphlets, written documents, any in the atf or fbi can tell you this is the light motif of their life. the militiamen who want to over throw the government. they don't really care, the hard core about trump, there was a report of pipe bomb at the national committee office in washington. they don't care about trump if he told them not to go, they gont, necessity li -- y li - still wouldn't go. they live for the violence. it's the monster these senators have played to. and i always love talking to you, you're one of the straightest shooters in the news media, i always love getting up in the morning and listening to meeka and joe who shoot real straight too. john meachemum was on and had a great line, he said what these politicians do is they deny s f self-evident truths for power. that's what they do, the self-evident truth that there was no fraud in the election, they deny that for power. that's what they're doing they're selling out their country for power. because they want this foe and they got it you're not going to change t

fbi, secret service, atf.through the alphabet soup of them all, not to mention the national guard in delaware, pennsylvania, maryland, virginia. all of these surrounding states, which we're doing now and will be ready for the inauguration. they told us that the national guard was ready to support and they botched this big time and i'm glad the chief of police and sergeant of arms is gone. >> bill: and you're calling for more heads to roll. not to excuse the preparation but they have not been doing capitol tours for ten months, i think. does that help explain the back-footed posture that was assumed wednesday? >> i don't think so. i think the leadership of the capitol police set the rank and file up for failure. 90% of the capitol police did a hell of a job. they did their job. but they had no backup. they had no preparation for what was to come because their leadership did not have them ready. this was a team that went on the field and played hard, but their coaches put them in a terrible position to the point

metropolitan police, secret service, atf, and national guard troops from five other states.s now, former homicide detective, also a fox news contributor, ted williams. ted, it's great to see you on a day like this. thanks for taking time out so early in the morning to be with us. the first thing i've got to ask you is, our congressional correspondent chad pergram has been saying all day that we have not seen an incursion like this for over 200 years, since the british set fire to the u.s. capital. >> i've got to tell you, gillian, i so much agree with him. i wasn't around, of course, 200 years ago, but i can tell you, in my lifetime, i've never seen anything like we saw here at the capitol today. but the question is, is there going to be this kind of activity in the future? i can tell you, the one person who holds the match, that lets that match, is the president of the united states, donald john trump. and it's up to him as to whether we are going to see this kind of activity, i believe, here in the near future. i can tell you what i would like to see is that individuals wh

atf is working on that, metro police, fbi working on that to find that individual or individuals who planted those devices. so in addition to just those cases we're looking at we'll focus on the most significant charges as a deterrent because regardless if it was just a trespass in the capitol or if someone planted a pipe bomb, you will be charged and you will be found. in addition to that, we've also focused on -- an emphasis on assault and batteries on police officers, both federal officers and local mpd officers that were assaulted is and as the days go on, there's going to be more social media and people will recognize that in some instances mpd and capitol police were in open-handed combat with some of these persons inside the capitol where tear gas was used on the capitol police and federal officers. they were also used against some of these rioters, so the pictures are going to build. there's a lot of misconceptions of what happened in the capitol and it will come into laser focus i think over the next weeks and days and people will be shocked with some. egregious contact that

you have prosecutors and fbi agents and atf agents working this investigation. and don, here's a bit of an irony, this summer, when bill barr and the fbi director chris ray were doing press conferences trying to draw people to this great danger from antifa and an anti-facists, bill barr told prosecutors said they should consider bringing sedition charges because they were worried that leftists would overrun the cities. nobody brought those cases. but here today, it was said today at the press conference that they are looking at bringing sedition and conspiracy charges against people who did this terrorist attack against the u.s. capitol. that's the great irony, you know, back this summer. now, here we go. it's probably going to be used against trump supporters who stormed in to that building and committed this act of terrorism. >> it is, i don't know if you want to call it irony or poet i c can -- poetic justice or not. we are learning just this moment, that youtube has now suspended president trump, go. >> well, look. social medadia companies of all kinds are r

and what they did is gave time for the capitol police, for the fbi, for the atf to get amicide that building and perhaps save lives of lawmakers. remember they needed time to get the leaders of this country out of harms way, and it is the mpd that allowed that. the prosecutor, the man michael sherman who's leading this investigation, he said we would be shocked by some of the video we will eventually see. hopefully that will come out, the hand to hand combat these mpd officers were face wging wi these attackers, these vile, vicious attackers who are trying to get around every officer, they wanted nothing stopping them. and it was ultimately the mpd who came in there, allowed them to slow down and get a lot of the lawmakers out of harms way, don. >> shimon prokupecz, thank you very much. if you have time because the video is all over, go and listen to some of the raw unedited stuff. you'll hear black officers being called the n-word, being told there's no racism in america, that it happened under the former president or the democrats did it or it's not going to get me to like you -- just craz

hundreds of agents from the fbi, atf, martial service, the metropolitan police in washington are working through the weekend. we're told prosecutors around the country are working these cases. they anticipate that there's going to be a lot more arrests. some of these guys that you see today, they're easy to find because they were on social media boasting about this. the harder work is matching up the surveillance camera images with stuff you can see on social media. facial recognition software being used by some of these analysts to try and match up these people, look at cell phone signals and so on to try to find people who are not so public about what they were doing. >> evan perez, we know there's more to come. thank you. >>> house democrats plan to introduce an article of impeachment on monday charging president trump with incitement of an insurrection. just in the last 24 hours, twitter permanently suspended trump's account due to the risk of further incitement of violence following those horrific events at the capitol. we have new video from wednesday's riot. i have to warn you, it

an atf official says bomb techs and robots were used to disable the explosive. >> it is all down range. so only bomb techs can go down range. so they set it up in a way where, you know, eventually we'll use the robots to do the disruption. so i believe this is how the disruption happened. >> reporter: meanwhile on capitol hill, defense secretary lloyd austin thanking national guard troops helping guard the capitol since the riot bpolice body cam video obtained from the u.s. attorney office shows brutal hand to hand combat between rioters and officers. rioters mercilessly beating officer, one grabbing an officer's baton. and this video was played at a hearing forgs an alleged rioter who attacked with a hockey stick. at one point, a man is frantically yelling for help to save what appears to be an injured woman. one former police chief who examined the video with us says it is surprising that more people weren't killed that day. >> if they are willing to assaults the officers like they were, then you have to assume that they are likely to carry out maybe some of the same acts of violence

the outgoing police in an interview with the washington post said he thinks the pipe bombs that the atf and fbi that were planted near the capitol may have served as a diversion. so that would require some level of planning. that would be a key fact in all of this. so there is still olot going on. many of the arrests are on, you can argue in some ways are minor offenses fortress passing at the capitol. but they're expected to grow. those charges and this investigation and the more time that goes by, i think we're going to learn a lot more here. >> sure we will learn more. if you can talk about the arrests that have been made so far. also where is christopher wray? where are the federal briefings after what five-plus days? you would think it would come within 24 hours? where are they? >> reporter: that's a great question, poppy. many are asking that. we haven't heard from the head of the fbi, christopher wray, or the acting attorney general. the fbi and department of justice have done two calls on the record with the media where they took several questions. which is sort of unusual also

this is one of the top priorities of the fbi, of the atf and the prosecutors working this investigation. they want to find cop killers so we're told that they have got a number of people, several people, that are on their radar, that they are trying to -- to figure out whether they were involved, and their involvement in the death of officer sicknick. obviously the fact that he died at hands of these people is a turning point for the law enforcemench. we know that the capitol police officers were completely overwhelmed and that's one of the indications. these people came with weapons including, you know, crowbars and, you know, bear spray. they were better armed than the capitol police officers and until the metropolitan police showed up to safety building, they turned a tide frankly and saved a lot of lives. >> thank goodness for them. evan perez. thank you, thank you, and stay safe. >>> staying in washington to capitol hill where it is looking more like a combat zone more and more as we near president-elect joe biden's inauguration being held next wednesday. cnn correspondent pete mon

well, wolf, this is a nationwide investigation and we have hundreds of agents from the fbi, and the atf and prosecutors around the country trying to help find and prosecute some of the people who were responsible for this terror attack at the u.s. capitol and one of the top priorities is finding the cop killers, and the people who were responsible for the death of the u.s. capitol police officer brian sick kninick who was on l support and died last night. and we learned the identities of the people who have already been charged here in federal court, and i will give you just a snippet of some of the people. the names of the people. one of them is richard barnett. he is from arkansas, and he is the one who is seen in the viral photographs with his foot, with his feet on the desk of speaker nancy pelosi. and of course, he posted some of the stuff on social media, and that is one of the things that prosecutors have found very helpful is the fact that like a lot of terrorists they are proud of what they did and posted it on social media, and barnett is charged with three counts of knowingly

they can provide atf to look for explosives. they can provide the bureau of prisons.n you have the defense department that can provide the national guard. all of those agencies said that they were essentially sitting on their hands watching in horror on wednesday, seeing the capitol police be outnumbered, but they had been told that they did not need additional federal presence. and this not only came from the capitol police, but from the mayor of d.c., who sent out a letter to all of those agencies on wednesday saying that she did not want additional federal presence beyond the secret service and the parks department and capitol police. she wanted this to stay local because she pointed to what happened this summer when there were unidentified federal agents in the crowds of protests outside the white house. she said that was a problem and it was uncoordinated, so they needed to leave this to d.c. and to the capitol police. now, hindsight can be 20/20, but at this point, that seems like a big problem. and not only were they denied in those days going forward when they

police department, the fbi obviously and the atf went in there and the video of just the hand to hand combat in some cases between this mob and many of the capitol police officers is just shocking and the other thing i want to point out is one of the things the u.s. attorney certainly is focussing on is coordination, whether or not there was someone else who was perhaps giving these people money to come here, the hotels that they were staying at. i mean, i've been here since this happened. many of the hotels were staying in many of the hotels here. who was paying for this? was there bigger coordination? that's what the fbi and department of justice is trying to figure out. the pipelines, when did those get placed? there are many unanswered questions on the plot and who was behind it. >> let's hope they release the video because as sickening as it is, it's important to see what occurred and understand and get a look at and wake people up about what is actually happening. appreciate it. >>> perspective from former fbi special agent, also former fbi deputy director and current cnn contri

because the outgoing capitol police chief told "the washington post" that the pipe bombs that the fbi and atfnd, he believes they may have been placed there as a diversion to try and get police to leave the capitol and to pay attention to the pipe bombs therefore depleting some of the resources at the capitol. so that is a significant clue. fbi agents all across the country, kate, are really digging into this from every field office trying to figure out what exactly was going on here. who was planning what. some of the people they've arrested are talking. so that is good for the fbi because they're able to gather more information. and while we're seeing some charges appear to be minor at this point, some of the charges that these guys are facing, we do expect those charges to get more severe as the investigation goes on. >> shimon, thank you, jessica, thank you both very much. >>> coming up for us, after five days of silence, first lady melania trump is speaking out. what she is saying. that is next. >> man: what's my safelite story? my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked.
