mayor muriel bowser must answer questions why they rejected additional security and national guard assistance in the run-up to january 6th. so the question is, how is impeachment, how is what happened in the impeachment trial going to play in this civil lawsuit, if at all? >> legally, not at all. it's a different charge. it was not unanimous. it really, the constitution itself is clear. you have impeachment charges and other charges. sara, i agree with everything she said but it's an important point to underscore, this is a civil lawsuit. this is bennie thompson as bennie thompson saying these guys hurt me and it wasn't just the proud boys, they were conspireing with trump and giuliani. might be hard to prove but the big fight will be can they get past the preliminary stages so they can get a deposition, get discovery? that will rank as a win. >> if they do get to deposition, harry, what about executive privilege, how does that factor in? >> very good question. i think the lawyer you spoke to was a little bit too quick in saying it can't apply because he was, in fact, president at the time. b

key facts to ensure the committees and the audience understand the very different roles of mayor muriel bowser and the district of columbia including mpd and those of congressional and federal authorities. first, mpd was prohibited by federal law from entering the capitol or its grounds to patrol or make arrests or serve warrants without the consent or request of the capitol police board. second, the president of the united states, not the mayor of the district of columbia, controls the d.c. national guard. the scope of the request by the mayor must be limited to supporting the district's local jurisdiction and authority, which excludes entities, federafederal entities. and since a public health emergency last march, the district has not issued permits for any large gatherings. although the district take pride in exercise of first amendment right by all groups regardless of their breliefs, none of january 6th were issued permits. mpd was prepared to support our federal partners with a first amendment assembly primarily on federal land while continuing to patrol and respond to calls for service

were a state, then muriel bowser might have more power in that position or somebody above her, would be able to call on the national guard more immediately. what do you make of that argument? are you in support of it? >> i fully support d.c. statehood. the other is simply equal protection for all. you shouldn't be having people who have taxation without representation. so, i absolutely support d.c. statehood. and i think we should take a step back and ask why were all these folks attacking the capitol to begin with? it was because of the big lie. they believe that the election was stolen, which is false. and if republicans want to reduce the risk of further political violence, they just have to say one simple truthful sentence, the election was not stolen. >> congressman ted lieu, thank you very much for joining us. we do appreciate it. >>> and still ahead, a live report from texas where the storm may be over, but people are still waiting in long lines for food and water. >>> and wrapping up the rollout. pfizer and moderna have pledged to send more vaccine to the united states. shoul

to mule bowser about why she refused in their words support of the national guard just a point muriel bowser as the mayor of washington d.c. has no control over the national guard the national guard when it comes to the federal capital under the direction of the president the white house the department of defense and so she has no power the but clearly they want to speak to come alatas the reason they're calling her is because in the video that they played in there was 11 minutes and 18 seconds of video of democrats saying fight fight fight if you watched yesterday you may remember that she was one of the people who featured been so they want to speak to her as well. quite why they would do that because if the question is did the donald trump incite the crowd to say well he didn't say crow but you use this sort of language it's. you know it's a bit like 2 kids being caught doing something you say you did that but my brother did this. flashback so you can understand why there may be some reluctance from the democrats to to. dive deep but as donald trump's lawyer said he has got every right to

as an appointee of mayor muriel bowser, i am honored to lead an agency. from snowstorms, to hurricanes, to a global pandemic, and the terrorist attack like the one we saw on january 6. i'm here today to discuss the attack that led to the insurrection at the u.s. capitol, which based upon my experience, was clearly an act of domestic terrorism. this attack exposed in starkest terms, the threat we face from the master terrorists, and from right-wing extremism. various times throughout our history, we have witnessed strains of political ideologies that run through the american bloodstream. but, time and again in these radical movements, they have been rooted out and minimized in our system. what should concern us now in 2021, is that the current manifestation is so insidious, they are becoming rapidly -- if not addressed, will only continue to exasperate, the delicate fabric of our democratic culture. to coordinate the response, the district of columbia is reimagining safety and security in the face of the evolving threat of domestic terrorism. i want to spe

simple majority vote to get people like nancy pelosi, they say they want to have come testify, muriel bowser, that would need 51 votes in the senate. would democrats vote for that? i doubt that. we're expecting the subpoena to go forward for jamie herrera beautler sometime today and then at that point they'll have to figure out when to actually depose her, get her testimony and submit that to the senate, dana. >> so it sounds like what i'm hearing you say, and i don't want to put you on the spot, but it sounds like what i'm hearing you say is that the vote they just took where five republicans crossed party lines was just on the overarching question of whether there will be witnesses, and then going forward there will be individual votes on each witness. is that correct? >> reporter: that's our understanding based on the trial rules that were adapopted by th senate. they were going to have to agree on specific witnesses one after another going forward. so jamie herrera beautler will be one. if they decide they want to bring someone else, they'll have another motion to the senate and get the
