democratic congressman david cicilline, representing rhode island's first district. he is also co-author of the article of impeachment against donald trump. congressman cicilline, we had so much to talk about before "the new york times" broke this story tonight, but i want to go straight to that with you. what are you seeing in the evidence presented in this "new york times" report that donald trump tried to use a justice department lawyer who he would install as acting attorney general to then pressure georgia into reversing its election result? >> well, lawrence, what we know is the article of impeachment charges the president with incitement of insurrection, and that insurrection happened at the capitol on january 6th, which was the meeting of the electoral college, this sacred ritual that represents the peaceful transfer of power. this was an effort to stop that from happening so that he could remain in power. we know this all began with a big lie where he said he actually won the election and he won it by tens of millions of votes, but it was stolen from him. th

mike: congressman david cicilline, thanks so much for your time. have a great week.ng in arkansas congressman french hill. congressman, welcome. >> thanks, mike. mike: you heard your colleague, congress nancys linney, says they're ready to move forward with impeachment in the coming days. what's your reactionsome. >> our country is in pain right i mow, miserable after the horrific and outrageous events of last wednesday, and in my personal view despite my absolute thinking the president's behavior that day was reprehensible is that aren't we in pain enough? don't we need more leadership in our country to move to the peaceful transition of power on january 20th at noon? this impeachment is, as was noted by my friend from rhode island, is not going to come to trial before the inauguration and, therefore, you're just disrupting joe biden's transition. mike: well, you're also looking at a house speaker, nancy pelosi, having an historically small majority. is a second impeachment of president trump going to make it virtually impossible to get things done in this new congr

. >> in just a moment i will talk to representative david cicilline, one of the impeachment managers who will argue the case against donald trump. >>> while the senate prepares for the impeachment trial, the focus of the new president remains the covid crisis. president biden meeting with advisers at the white house today, calling foreign leaders 'he works on what he sees as job number one for all of the american people. >> we're in a national emergency. we need to act like we're in a national emergency. so we've got to move with everything we've got, and we've got to do it together. i don't believe democrats or republicans are going hungry and losing jobs. i believe americans are going hungry and losing their jobs. we have the tools to fix it. >>> but first some breaking news we've been following. the justice department has announced new charges against a texas man who participated in the capitol insurrection. an allegedly posted online death threats against democratic representative alexandria ocasio-cortez as well as a u.s. capitol police officer. garrett miller faces five crimina

you very much for coming to "the sunday show." >> thank you. >>> and here with me, congressman david cicilline of rhode island. house impeachment manager and chair of the lgbtq congressional caucus. congressman cicilline, thank you for coming back to "the sunday show." let me ask you the question that i just asked senator coons, and that is, i know you've got your plans in place, you are getting them in place and your witness list. will you call former acting attorney general jeffrey rosen to testify and also the man president trump wanted to -- was thinking of replacing him with, jeffrey clark? >> well, jonathan, as you know, tomorrow we will deliver the article of impeachment to the senate. and the senate will then decide the rules of the impeachment trial. and that is their absolute right under our constitution and we look forward to their determination as to how this will proceed. but i can tell you that we will present a very strong case, overwhelming evidence that the president of the united states committed the high crime and misdemeanor of inciting an insurrection against the governmen

. >> reporter: rhode island democrat david cicilline helped author the resolution.t do you believe the impeachable crime was here? >> this is a president who incited an attempted coup to stop the certification of the next president of the united states, to remain in power. >> reporter: some lawmakers are still worried about their safety. republican lindsey graham had to be surrounded by law enforcement today just to get through the airport, all because he voted to accept the presidential election results. >> lindsey graham, you are a traitor to the country! you know it was rigged! >> reporter: in an eye-opening letter to colleagues today, house speaker nancy pelosi revealed that she had spoken to joint chiefs chairman mark milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike. she then spoke to lesley stahl of "60 minutes." >> is anybody running the executive branch of the government? who is running the executive branch? >> well, sadly, the person running the executive branch is a d

katherine cracks also with our managers awkward the impeachment manager jamie raskin diana de gette david cicilline walking past eric. madeline dean and joe goose i think ted lieu would say half an hour in here how can we electronically one way or another but we're very proud that they have accepted the responsibility for responsibility we do not think one week ago we would have today in a bipartisan way the house demonstrated that no one is above the law not even the president of the united states that donald trump is a clear and present danger to our country and that once again we honor the office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states so helpless guy and now. i sadly for what they're heartbroken over what's this mean tax country. of a president who were in fact insurrection. and now i think well and of the article i didn't he. you want you to. be the. democrat speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi signing the articles of impeachment there in the capitol on capitol hill she said no one is above the law that's donald trump she said presented a clear and present

ted lieu, jamie raskin, and david cicilline, david took the lead. it practically when we were under assault. members embraced it. has its simplicity, the president of the united states of the incited insurrection against our country. and it passed in a bipartisan way in the house. now we prepare for the trial. >> and is there a strategy behind holding it back? are you thinking about sort of timing it with the biden cabinet nominations getting through with things that he wants to get done? is there a strategy behind holding it back? >> well, it's not a question of holding it back. the senate is not in session. so we couldn't even send it until -- well, now they are. today they're in session. but up until then, they could not receive the article. so now we have our options open us. they'll tell us what the rules are for us to proceed. the leader -- majority leader schumer and mitch mcconnell, minority leader, will have their discussion and then will proceed from there. but it's about -- again, this doesn't take a lot because everybody saw what the pre

united states constitution and the bill of rights that's why i'm joining the call of democrats, david cicilline more aggressive enforcement of her antitrust so we reset the relationship between consumers and the digital platforms that they use. jon: congressman matt gaetz republican of florida, thank you. >> thank you. jon: it's been about a year since the coronavirus death in china and beijing is still making a hard for health experts to investigate the origins of the virus. up next look at china's handling of covid-19 and how things might change during the biden administration. this is hal. this is hal's heart. it's been broken. and put back together. this is hal's relief, knowing he's covered by medicare from blue cross blue shield. and with coverage you can trust, backed by over 80 years of healthcare expertise, we'll be there when it matters most. this is medicare from blue cross blue shield. this is the benefit of blue. jon: tomorrow marks one year since chinese state media reported the first known death from covid-19. the origins of the global pandemic remain unknown as beijing continues

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. always look for the grown in idaho seal. side dish? keeping your oysters growing while keeping your

joining us now, democratic congressman david cicilline, a member of the house judiciary committee, also a coauthor of the new impeachment resolution. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. your fellow coauthor of this amendment -- impeachment resolution, congressman ted lieu, tells cnn the article of impeachment will be introduced monday if president trump hasn't resigned by then or if he hasn't been removed from office by then. do you agree with that timeline? >> yes. we had hoped the president would resign. we had hoped that the vice president of the united states will invoke the 25th amendment, but if those two things do not happen, we will introduce the resolution on monday. we have 185 cosponsors of the resolution. it's a single article, incitement of insurrection. the american people saw our government attacked. they saw our democracy attacked during a very sacred ritual, the electoral college, where we have the recorded votes of millions of americans are formally recognized in the election of a new president, the peaceful transition of power. the president of the united s

. >> your colleague, congressman david cicilline, a co-author of the impeachment.e says he has been in talks with republican house members throughout the weekend, hopes this will be a bipartisan effort as what happened in the first impeachment, no republicans supported the impeachment. have you spoken with any of your republican colleagues who are, in fact, prepared to join me this time around and impeach the president? >> well, what we know, washington, is that there are republicans, many of them, who have now stepped up and saidsh this is enough. we've seen it, whether it's those closest to the president serving at his cabinet. whether it's common conservative press outlets or whether members of the house and senate, all of whom have been very clearly saying on the record that what the president did, what we witnessed in this attack on the very symbol of our representational democracy cannot stand. the president must be held accountable and he must be removed from office. >> republican senator pat toomey. i don't know if you heard about this, congressman, he says

senator lou has tweeted out that we just hit 180 cosponsors of articles of impeachment drafted by david cicilline republican raskin in ha and houe judiciary. what do you expect on monday and what do here in washington about a second impeachment? >> we are really in a very heated moment, we had very foolish actions of trumped supporters stepping in the capital, doing something they should not have done, disgrace for the entire country, heated political moment we have to be able to bring volume down, speaker pelosi talking about impeaching the president with one week to go and try to drive this is trying to drive a wedge further in a difficult situation more difficult and right now we need to turn the rhetoric down not turn the volume up. it's best when there is a fire not to pull ga pour gasoline anr water, for the house to say will come in session when they already said we will not be in session until january the 20th and for them to save we will come back in the session and poor gas on the fire is a very foolish thing to do as well, let's allow the last week of his nresidency to beh able to fini

david raskin and also ted liu and david cicilline. here's the reality. even though vice president mike pence has been given by speaker pelosi 24 hours to respond on the 25th amendment, every democrat i've talked to expect to vote on impeachment on wednesday, they fully expect to impeach the president on wednesday, and at this point in time, the biggest question is whether or not they're going to have the votes, they know they're there, they already have the 220 votes they would need just in democrats alone. i'm told house republicans are reaching out, trying to get them to come on board, and something i can't underscore enough. you showed those videos, brianna. as the days have played out in the wake of january 6th, members on both sides of the aisle have gotten angrier and angrier and angrier as they recognize this wasn't a group that turned into a mob and decided to break some windows. this was very real, this was very dangerous, and the consequences which are bad enough with five dead could have been significantly worse. so all eyes are not weather de

hour, david cicilline joins us live. >>> we have breaking news about the january 6th riots. the justice department has announced new charges against a texas man who participated in the insurrection and posted online death threats we were just talking about against alexandria ocasio-cortez as well as a u.s. capitol police officer. garron miller faces five charges including trespassing and making death threats. miller tweeted assassinate aoc according to court documents. more on this as we continue today. e today. hi mr. charles, we made you dinner. ahh, thank you! ready to eat? yes i am! mornings were made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz... a pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. xeljanz can help relieve joint pain and swelling, stiffness, and helps stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood test

against coming with fiery passion from both sides of the aisle, here is rhode island democrat david cicilline. >> hundreds of domestic terrorists did what donald trump wanted them to do, they seize the capital and tried to end our country's 234 year experiment in democracy. as the trump family white house aides watched gleefully on television. they searched the halls of the building for the vice president who they came to hang for treason, what are you going to tell your children and grandchildren when they asked what you did in this moment. did you stand for the republic before this president? liz: republican jim jordan of ohio question the usefulness of the vote considering the president's remaining short period of time left in office. >> seven days of peaceful transfer of power just like there has been every other time in our country but democrats are going to impeach president trump again. this does not unite the country, there's no way this helps the nation deal with the tragic and terrible events of last week that we all condemn. liz: republicans are not totally unified here, dan newhou

rhode island congressman david cicilline is leading the charge for democrats on the judiciary committeeiting a letter to the vice president, signed by 18 additional democrats. he released it via tweet. the national association of manufacturers, which represents 14,000 companies in the u.s., also called on the vice president to consider removal. and republican vermont governor phil scott ended a string of tweets by writing, quote, enough is enough, president trump should resign or be removed from office by his cabinet or by congress. and nbc news has learned that some administration staff members have discussed removal as well, but one source questions whether there is legally enough time to complete the process and whether there would be enough votes in the cabinet to do it. joining us now, senior opinion writer at the "boston globe" and an msnbc contributor, kimberly atkins. kimberly, good morning. thank you so much for getting up early with us, or perhaps you have also stayed up late, like so many. let's talk about this push now because of the conversation today with the capitol secur

congressman david cicilline, who co-wrote the article, said he expects around a dozen republicans to vote with you. how many republicans do you think will join you? >> well, a dozen sound great, and it's good to have a much more bipartisan showing than the last impeachment. this is fundamentally different than the last impeachment. what happened last week crossed lines that we thought were not even imaginable. and i'm grateful that more of my republican colleagues are willing to acknowledge that. >> your fellow congressman, conger lamb, talked briefly about a briefing where members were told about a plot to target members of congress. were you on this call? did you learn anything about this athlete? >> ythreat? >> yes, i was and i heard multiple plots that some were reporting. >> and you said you would like to learn about these things before the capitol insurrection, like the detailed fbi report that warned of a war, that that were details on the fbi's radar. the question is, why aren't they really passed on? this is a report they got the day before the insurrection including operati

i know that david cicilline is working on drawing up impeachment in the house judiciary committee.nd chairman nadler supports it, along with ted lieu and jamie raskcon, thank you for making time tonight. >> thank you, chris. >> so if the president's impeached he'll face trial in the senate, as he first did almost one year ago. chris van hollen will be sitting in judgment again of this president. he joins me now. let me start with the same question i asked congressman clark. how are you doing? how do you understand the events of yesterday? >> well, chris, it's good to be with you. i'm still in shock that we had a violent mob attack the capitol of the united states, attack our capitol. at the same time, it was predictable given the lies and the poison and the incitement of so many people by the president of the united states, that something like this could happen, something violent could happen in the attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. and that's what we witnessed yesterday. the result of a president inciting insurrection and sedition. and people trying to essentially

jamie raskin of maryland, ted lieu of california, and david cicilline of rhode island. congressman lieu and cicilline started drafting this article by phone under lockdown as a mob breached the capitol. congressman lieu represents western l.a. county in california and joins us now. congressman, good evening. >> good evening, joshua. >> can you even put into words what it was like to begin drafting these articles of impeachment while god knows what all was happening outside of your secure location at the house? what was that like? >> after the momentary fear passed as we watched in horror what was an attempted violent overthrow of congress, congressman cicilline and i decided that we had to act and we were going to try to impeach the president again. so we worked remotely with congressman jamie raskin in the house judiciary committee staff and we started drafting the article of impeachment, incitement to insurrection. >> what do you think the path forward is for this? senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has said that a senate impeachment trial would not start until af

. >> reporter: now, house impeachment manager, david cicilline, he was asked if he believed that jeffrey rosen or jeffrey clark would be called as witnesses in the upcoming impeachment trial, but he would not say. in the meantime, we do know that the doj inspector general has already opened an investigation into whether trump administration officials improperly pressured the former u.s. attorney in georgia, bj pock, to investigate the election. now, pock abruptly resigned earlier this month and he said it was due to unforeseen circumstances. i have reached out to become, he is declining to comments. but as these details continue to drip out about the president's pressure campaign, it is sure to have democrats digging in on those calls, to not only convict the president, but also to bar him from holding any future office. alisyn? >> oh, my gosh, jessica. just great reporting. thank you very much. please keep us posted with anymore developments. back with us now, we have seung min kim and also joining us is e elie honig, a former federal prosecutor. as the smoke clears, every day you can r

michael, i asked house impeachment manager congressman david cicilline of rhode island yesterday whether all of this reporting will be included in the article. here is what he said. >> this was all part of an effort, a desperate attempt by this president to stay in power despite the decision of the american people to elect joe biden as president and it ended with an effort to incite people to go to the capitol and try to substitute their judgment for the judgment of the american people in an election that was held in november and so i think, you know, that context will be important. >> so, michael, how does this new reporting fit into the impeachment case and could this delay in the trial actually benefit democrats if more news like this leaks out? >> so i've got to say first of all republicans have to figure out what kind of party they want to be. do they want to actually be a substantive party that is about policy and protecting our democracy or do they want to be a cult? because right now they are a cult of trump. so what we saw a couple weeks ago, and i don't say this lightly, we saw

i want to play for our viewers representatives left for representative david cicilline, among those leadingfor impeachment. >> you poked the [ bleep ] bear this time you little [ bleep ]. you poked the bear. do you understand what i'm saying? you got 830 [ bleep ] million people coming after you commie [ bleep ]. >> if you impeach him, civil war is on, buddy. >> first of all, i reject this idiot caller's notion that 80 million people support what happened at the capitol. 75 million people or so voted for president trump this last time around. i just don't believe that there are 74 million, 75 million people who support what happened at the capitol. how unprecedented is this? i mean how does washington feel tonight? >> i think washington is frightened. i think in many ways it is paralyzed about what's the right thing to do and what can they do with the little time they have. should they convict if they impeach the president in the house? should they convict donald trump or at least try to convict donald trump after joe biden is president, when they want joe biden's cabinet to be confirmed, e

articles of impeachment, which are slated to be introduced today by representatives jamie rask and david cicilline and ted lew at 11:00. that is happening simultaneously with nancy pelosi's plan to push full charge ahead with introducing the raskin resolution, which is urging vice president mike pence to remove president trump via the 25th amendment. he'd have to -- vice president pence would have to invoke that along with agreement from the cabinet members, in order to remove president trump from office. that appears unlikely. the next steps, as nancy pelosi stated in her letter that she released to her members last night, would be then to move ahead with impeachment. after that, though, the big question mark is, when will those -- when will the articles of impeachment be sent to the senate, which, as you outlined, there's already some disagreement amongst democrats, whether or not it would disrupt joe biden's inauguration, so that could be delayed, or it could happen immediately. and in the senate, it's already looking like there is some bipartisan support for removing president trump. >> i don'

i will lead out the names, david cicilline of rhode island, joaquin castro of texas, eric swalwell of stacey plaskett of the u.s. virginia islands, madeleine dean of the state of pennsylvania. what you're

the rest of the list includes congresswoman diana degette, representative david cicilline, joaquin castro, eric swalwell is on the list as well, ted lieu of california, joni goosed and a madeleine dean. the lead impeachment manager there from maryland, here are some of his comments from the floor yesterday and you might hear them repeated in the lead up to the senate trial whenever it happens. >> smashing windows and beating police officers over the head, a bloodthirsty mob attacked the capital and invaded this congress last wednesday. they erected a gallows and repeatedly chanted hang mike pence. they stormed speaker pelosi's office yelling where's nancy. they branded the cover -- confederate battle flag, wounding dozens, hospitalizing dozens, killed five of our people and for six hours they shut down the counting of electoral college votes. our sacred process under the constitution for a peaceful transfer of power in the united states. they may have been hunting for pence and pelosi, but everyone of us in this room right now could have died. as senator lindsey graham said, the mob could
