leasesa murkowski is the choice.and one thing we know about joe biden, he served with lisa murkowski for a number of years and he served with her father when he held the same seat for years. so if there is a state among all the states where pet projects back home are important, it will be alaska among many. the question for the white house is, is it worth leveraging some of murkowski's priorities for tanden's priority or are they already moving forward with the contingency planning. there is a woman nominated to be the deputy omb director who has the support of key players in congress and would likely be the back-up choice. for tanden's future in a biden administration, no indications of where it would be and whether she would want to serve at this point. >> let me ask but another important aspect. the unemployment numbers. 730,000 filed for unemployment last week. that is a stubbornly high trend as we see in it february of thissier. is the white house still trying to persuade any republicans to vote for the covid re

i can tell you, senator murkowski, even democrats say, you can't whip her, you can't pressure her to vote, you just give her all the information and let her decide. and even if the president's counsel refuse to answer a direct question with specifics isn't going to sit well with a powerful attorney who is used to getting answers to her questions. i see her, murkowski and romney whose decision is yet in play for at least a bipartisan conviction if not one that gets the two-thirds necessary. >> chris wallace, brutal, brutal critique of that fight video at the beginning. it did not land well, at least among some corners at fox news. chris wallace is a straight shooter, so that might not be surprising. any concerns about the approach and the tone? if they've got -- ted cruz was sitting at the table where they were prepping. i mean, they were so closely synced up with republican senators. was there any concern about those senators on the fence that they were too hot? >> i don't think so. the reality is these senators have more experience in impeachment trials than any other group of senat

this was in reference to murkowski's support of the 2017 tax bill. it says, quote, no offense, but this sounds like your high on your own supply. you know, we know and everyone knows this is all garbage. just stop. and, of course, this is exactly one of the reasons why senator joe manchin, a democrat from west virginia, announced on friday he would not support tanden's nomination. this comes as two key committee votes on her nomination were postponed yesterday. the key question is, is there a republican who is going to be willing to come forward and support her? of course, we had been keeping an eye on murkowski, but, you know, reporters reading her this tweet in realtime, that makes it tougher for her to back neera tanden. >> yeah. >> okay. so other big vote coming up. this, of course, on covid relief. the shoushouse is going to vote tomorrow, big step. it will pass along partisan lines. polls show that a lot of elements of this very popular with voters across the board, even some republican mayors coming out in support of this. do they see this as

and i imagine that they've read about senators collins and murkowski would also confirm that. but i think the point biden was trying to make is that the level of distance you see, that we've seen that led people to go as far as to write an op ed against their cousins in "the new york times" is an outlier experience that many americans are facing. and i don't know if it's exactly an outlier, but it's obviously not the norm, and the data that i reported in the piece that you mentioned suggests that. and this is something that may not change as we move forward, as long as the former president continues to have a hold on the republican party and as long as there are republicans in the gop who, like murkowski, believe that it is a group of people who should form their political ideology beyond that of one individual. >> fascinating. all right. the "washington post's" eugene scott. eugene, thanks so much for joining us. >>> still ahead, we'll get to the new reporting about governor andrew cuomo under investigation for his handling of coronavirus deaths in new york nursing homes. >>>

. >> reporter: in a tweet from 2017, she slammed senator lisa murkowski cow city for supporting then president trump's tax cuts. tanden retweeted murkowski with this, no offense but this sounds like you're high on your own supply. murkowski who said she is undecided about tanden's tweet only learned about it yesterday. >> high on my own supply. should i ask her my own supply of what? >> reporter: this morning tanden's supporters point to republicans who gave former president trump a pass for his tweets. for now the white house is sticking by tanden. >> neera tanden would be one of the most outstanding budget directors we've had. she knows policy. she knows all the -- how to get something done in washington. >> reporter: but republican senator john kennedy painting a bleak picture when it comes to tanden's prospects. >> i'm not saying she is a smoked turkey, but the smoker's warming up. >> susan collins, a key republican senator, said tanden's decision to delete tweets before her confirmation process raises concerns about her transparency. >>> tragedy on a lake in ohio. a 16-year-old

senator susan collins and lisa murkowski voted yes. all this coming after we heard from democrats last night, senator whitehouse saying the witnesses would clear up the timeline here and they would be open to it. now they're deciding to move forward. you have senator minority leader mitch mcconnell who came out minutes before this trial came into session as we were preparing to head into the final day of arguments here and he said he does plan to vote to acquit. now it is a question of whether or not those other handful of republican senators do here. they need 17 to convict. right now these handful of republican senators we've been keeping our eye on over the last couple days, they're proving to make the difference here. you have a handful voting to move forward with witnesses. >> i want to bring in our legal team. kate shaw, traumatic twist in this trial. it may not change the possibility of conviction in the end, but what -- actually hold on. they're about to announce the vote. then i'll come back to you. let's go back to the floor.

she is having this meeting, as jasmine said, with senator murkowski, who maybe the swing vote.te house have a plan b here? have you heard of other names that might be out there if it doesn't work with tanden? >> reporter: yeah, we have heard of schland a young, who used to work in congress on the house side, on budget issues, and so she is potentially one of the frontrunners. she has a lot of support from black lawmakers in the house, as well as some republicans in the senate. senator shelby also is behind her, before all of the complications of tanden arose. and so -- but every time a name like young's is brought up to the white house in press briefings the last week, the press secretary jen psaki has said the white house is behind tanden, the only name for the white house is neera tanden and they are going to continue to fight for her. that's why you haven't seen them pull her nomination and they are still, despite this delay that has gone over this weekend into next week, they are hoping that they can get more support for her, particularly with lisa murkowski. >> also hoping

lisa murkowski had a very strong statement after her vote to impeach essentially saying, come at me. i don't care. if somebody like, you know, lisa murkowski who has been elected as an independent can run her own campaign and a republican from louisiana like senator cassidy can be strong in this vote it gives me hope that anybody can. >> of all those seven lisa murkowski is the one who is up for re-election in 2022. so she may have the most on the line in that vote. paul, i want to ask about the house impeachment managers jamie raskin and stacey plaskett among those getting a lot of attention for the job they did during this impeachment trial. specifically for plaskett, you know, she made history as the first delegate to be included in this role. here they are. >> this attack is not about one speech. most of you men would not have your wives with one atechlt at talking to her. it took numerous tries. you had to build it up. that's what the president did as well. he put together the group that would do what he wanted. and that was to stop the certification of the election so that he c

everyone is waiting to feel it out and see if it's possible to get murkowski. obviously the nomination is doomed. we're not quite at that point yet. >> john, that's a great point. you've got two or cabinet nominees, but you've got javier becerra in terms of the hhs pick and deb haaland for interior. i wonder if you have a sense for how the white house is feeling on this front given the criticism of them, what romney has brault up in the last 24 hours. is there a confidence they're going to eke through these committees? >> reporter: yes, the white house is confident both knows nominees, haaland and becerra will make it. the flash points for them are not anything about personal conduct. republicans are complaining about neera tanden's mean tweets. in the case of haaland and becerra they're focusing on policy differences that are fundamental between the two parties, abortion in the case of becerra and climate and fossil fuels in the case of haaland. there are no democratic nominees for hhs or interior who are going to be anti-abortion or pro fossil fuel. that's si

but we wait to hear from lisa murkowski. she had said before that she was going to wait for the committee process. but the committee process can't go because sinema is withholding her support for now. in terms of other nominees, xavier becerra, deb haaland, i think the white house remains confident they can get both of those through. tough questions, absolutely. but i think they haven't had a high-profile defection yet. we'll watch and see. >> john harwood, david gregory, thank you. >>> so the capitol insurrection was a wake-up call about the growing threat of white supremacists in america. what's being done about it? that's next. psst! psst! allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! you're good. if you're on medicare, or retiring soon, making sure you have the right medicare coverage is important. so call unitedhealthcare and take advantage of a wide choice of plans including an aarp medicare advantage plan from unitedhealthcare. it c

and smart people like senators collins and murkowski, i'm sure, were offended by it. but it goes to a larger feeling in this defense. they are assuming that the fix is in. they are sure they have 17 senators who won't part ways. and i think that the other really striking feature of this case is how close, how very close, we came to even greater disaster, how much worse it could have been. and you've described some of the injuries, really serious maiming injuries and the deaths of the heroic capitol police who perished. but, you know, there's also the affect on our capitol. and i thought of this point today as i was walking to the capitol. it's rimmed with huge fences and barbed wire. the capitol of the greatest nation in the history of the world looks like some banana republic. troops and barbed wire. that's what donald trump has left us. and it is the result of the domestic terrorism, the mob that he not only mobilized but he built by giving it this kind of grievance ammunition. >> but senator, you couldn't have that trial today in the senate if the capitol was not r

they were hoping lisa murkowski would sign on to support tan den for the nomination. as you pointed out, she's not looking like she will support tanden in this nomination. we'll have to wait and see where she falls. >> daniella, it seems there is a problem because they can't get cooperation anywhere. the public overwhelmingly supports this but not a single republican in congress is on board with it. congressman tom reid said the popularity of the bill is going to wear off. tell that to somebody whose unemployment benefits are about to run out, but what are your sources on capitol hill? what are they saying about what it will take to get republicans on board with this bill and anything else for that matter? >> reporter: i really want to be clear, democrats don't need any republicans to sign on to support this package. and republican leaders are urging their members not to support this legislation, as you pointed out, because they feel it's riddled with proposals that had nothing to do with covid-19 and it's very expensive legislation that has to be passed after several

lisa murkowski is the only one up for re-election in 2022. as we saw, for the handful of republicans who joined with democrats in the house to back impeachment, there are repurr -- repercussions at home. richard burr will be censured tonight. the majority of the republican senators and much of the party's rank and file are standing by their man and it appears the trump and trumpism will remain a dominant force on and off capitol hill. he and his colleagues are working with president biden on making his agenda a reality and insists impeachment was not an impediment. >> we are working with president biden on the priorities of the american people dealing with this pandemic, dealing with the economy, providing cash payments to american citizens to help them through this tough period. tchs not at the expend of president biden's priority. we'll be returning them quickly whip he comes back to washington. >> our nbc correspondents are covering every angle of what comes next. garrett is on capitol hill. let me start with you on the hill with the fall

lawyer and i'm interviewing him to be his lawyer, the first thing i'm going to ask him is those murkowski questions. the fact they couldn't answer it is very striking. then you were saying the stuff they refused to answer. they said, when was mike pence under attack? they said, trump never knew. it just seems patently wrong, the idea that the secret service would not have told the president of the united states that the vice president was under attack? that is preposterous, and here's the thing. i think trump lawyer, it looks like he lied in this hearing, and we know folks want to vote tomorrow, but you can't entail. he banks on the idea, nobody is dpg to come forward, they're too scared. the secret service could have come forward in 4 years. you shouldn't blame the secret service for what he did. >> he's just following his friend around, lindsey graham, who blamed the cops. >> i don't understand how that does not trigger some sort of ethics implications here. they claimed the video that democrat show as a doctor. this is surveillance video they got presumably from the capitol police. >>

. > reporter: alaska senator lisa murkowski could be that one, but tonight says she's not yet made aion. tanden had deleted more than a thousand tweets before being nominated, but late tonight, a newly-surfaced tweet shows she'd even attacked murkowski in the past. also tonight, president biden said he's read a u.s. intelligence report that cbs news has learned, is expected to show saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman approved the 2018 killing of journalist jamal khasogghi. the president is expected to speak soon with the saudi king, and it's likely this report will be part of that conversation, norah. >> o'donnell: ed o'keefe at the white house, thank you, ed. and there is still much more news ahead on the "cbs evening news." bruce springsteen's day in court-- what he told the judge he'd do right away. and, a former u.p.s. driver delivers in a big way, with a record donation to his former college. ups driver delivers in a big way with a record donation to his former college. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin

it emerged that one of the mean tweets that she sent was about lisa murkowski. nevertheless the fact that she's meeting with tanden suggests that she might have an open mind and look at an opportunity to say let's put this behind us. don't know the outcome, but neera tanden still have a shot and monday is critical. >> curious and curiousier. thank you so much. >>> the house is expected to pass the covid relief package today. >> let's go to manu raju on the hill. obviously they're going to keep that $15 minimum wage in it but it is not going to get through. it is a big decision last night. explain the importance of that and what it means now for people to get aid. >> reporter: the time line for getting aid will probably be early to mid-march. the push for the democrats is to get this done before that march 14th deadline when jobless benefits for millions of americans expire. today is a critical day to meet that deadline. the democrats advancing the $1.9 trillion package out of the house. this bill would touch virtually all aspects of the u.s. economy, provide mon

we've had a little praise for the republican presentation by people like lisa murkowski. we also believe we know that murkowski is likely to vote to convict this president so there's still that big question hanging out of what mitch mcconnell is going to do. the reporting that i'm pursuing over the course of the next few hours is, okay, how did he react to what he saw today. how did john thune, his number two, react to what he saw today because i think that may tell us a lot about the next 24 hours. >> kasie, thank you. let me bring in attorney dan goldman who assisted the democrats during the first impeachment of donald trump. dan, there's going to be obviously more of the defense case but then there's this question and answer period. if you're a democrat senator right now, what questions have been unanswered that you would want to ask to this defense team? >> oh, there are a lot of questions that i'd want to ask. the first would be if donald trump is not responsible for the insurrection, why was there so many republican officials going on television during the riot sayi

now lisa murkowski said this was a new tweet. and this is more evidence of how the american public and senators, lawmakers on capitol hill have gotten too used to negative tweets like this one. she said clearly this is an illustration that she needs to continue doing her homework on neera tanden. democrats do not have unity on her nomination, because joe manchin said he would not support tanden. >> thank you, lauren. we'll see where it goes soon. we're keeping an eye on the house hearing regarding the deadly insurrection at capitol. >> and the push to vaccinate americans set to ramp up even more. that is good news. especially after the discovery of the new coronavirus variants spreading in new york city and parts of the northeast. ahead, why this strain could have health officials worried. the secret to amazing hair? dove believes you get amazing results when you get the details right. that's why for our new dove hair therapy range we have selected ingredients so potent they instantly nourish damaged hair at a cellular level. 100

she still has tweets going after lisa murkowski for some of lisa murkowski's policy positions. so the tanden nomination right now is hanging on a thread. >> what is the perspective from the white house? biden only has 9 cabinet nominees approved by the senate, including those two yesterday. you see there on your screen compared to the past two administrations at this point. obama had 15. trump had 14 by february 24th. what is the mood? what is the perspective like from the white house as they see this delay in confirming the president's picks? >> well, they say that they are fighting for nira tandem still, that this is not over. they continue to back her. they're in conversations with the senate to see if there is a way to muscle this through. it is worth remembering that they started at a disadvantage when you look at those numbers from the obama administration, the trump administration. there weren't many cabinet nominees confirmed day one when president biden took office. there was a rocky transition that delayed a number of things including cabinet nominees. so there is som

only senator murkowski is up for re-election next year.ng criticizing senator burr. louisiana's gop voted to censure senator cassidy. voting against the president of one's own party can be risky. but historically it's also rare. the very first senator who voted to convict their party's president was mitt romney, last year. after he was acquitted donald trump released a statement. it reads in part, "our historic patriotic beautiful movement to make america great again has only just begun." what becomes of republicans and conservatives who want out of that movement? joining us now is evan mcmullen, the executive director of stand up republic. he ran for president as an independent in 2016. recently he helped lead a call with nor than 100 former republican officials discussing among other things the possibility of starting a new party. mr. mcmullen, good evening. >> good to be with you, joshua. thanks for having me. >> so let me just get right to that. starting a new party. is that a thing? does that feel like just a notion or is it actually

votes that voted yes for witnesses they named mitt romney named susan collins and they named lisa murkowski all 3 are republican senators they also. had john meacham is name in there he is a democrat from west virginia but considered to be a swing vote in the senate often sometimes votes with republicans so it's clear to me just from those 3 names and i didn't catch all of them but from those 3 names there's more than enough there's more than 50 so it looks as if will be moving towards depositions which won't please don't trump won't please this team but it's something that jimmy ruskin says is important to get to the bottom of what happened so there may be just one deposition there may be more to that so this i think that means that we will not be moving to closing arguments by him to business today alan explain that for us now what will decide whether it will simply be about who's called to testify or whether trance lawyers will have their way and and core hundreds of people. if she says kevin mccarthy said that to me and this congresswoman and this congressman and he was there as well th

murkowski this week, asked her multiple times about the tanden nomination.eclined to comment saying she would wait to see what the committees do to decide how to vote on the floor. republican leaders themselves are confident all members will fall in line and ultimately defeat this nomination. this all came, brooke, because joe manchin, democrat from west virginia, announced his opposition to this pick contending she was too toxic a pick to go forward. she, think tank center for american progress but tweets attacking republicans is what caused concern among republican members who say she should not serve in this position. she has expressed regret for those past tweets but not enough to win over any republican support at the moment. so, brooke, this nomination in limbo showing both the power of one individual senator frustrating the agenda of the new president and also the challenge and the possibility that joe biden could lose his first nominee here in this divided senate. brooke? >> manu, thank you. >>> come back to that in a bit. just in to cnn, an update o

>>and senators romney collins and murkowski are just a few of the republican senators that left last night saying that they were still undecided but keep in mind that a minimum of 17 republican senators, no they need those 17 republican with all of the 50 democrats in order to vote to convict the former president live in washington, i'm anna wiernicki back to you all right thank space left that live report from washington dc. >>back here at home there some rain on the way it's actually already it was a little sprinkling on my way and that's for sure when i came in and was still dry. okay for that late as well checking out that golden gate bridge camera over there by davis part it looks a little wet out there day service yeah we're starting the day off a little bit like that, but it looks like at least a partial improvement will be in store for us today, although a little bit on the windy side to so careful on area bridges though too chris do have little bit of a strong wind going on here's another shot for you the shoreline here all kind of covered up and fog again that will be tempo

lisa murkowski would be key.joe manchin's vote to oppose her. it's not quite over. she's definitely the biden nominee who is in the biggest trouble. very annoying, distressing to some democrats that there is a double standard when it comes to the ferocity of tweets between tanden and president trump. there is really no comparison. and people like mitch mcconnell were willing to countenance donald trump's tweets but find neera tanden' unacceptable. it is a double standard the biden white house doesn't want to be abide by the standards of civility common with the last administration. >> all right. a "washington post" reporter seung min kim has been targeted with sexist and racist abuse from parent supporters of omb nominee neera tanden. kim received a wave of ugly online comments after huffington post reporter igor bobik posted this image of kim showing senator murkowski an old tweet from tanden. "the daily beast" reached out to tanden. because protocol states they cannot speak to reporters until confirmed, she dec

yesterday during the question and answer period of the impeachment trial, gop senators murkowski and collins asked the critical question. the howard baker question, if you will, what did trump know and when did he know it. specifically they asked exactly when did president trump learn of the breach of the capitol and what specific actions did he take to bring the rioting to an end and when did he take them. and please be as detailed as possible. here was the response. >> the house managers have given us absolute -- [ inaudible ] -- to that question. we're able to piece together a time line and it goes all the way back to december 131st, january 2 there is a lot of interaction between the authorities and getting folks to have security beforehand on the day, we have a tweet at 2:38. so it was certainly sometime before then. with the rush to bring this impeachment, there 45shas been investigation into that. and that is the problem with this entire proceeding. the house managers did zero investigation. and the american people deserve a lot better than coming in here with no evidence, hea

that's what republican senator lisa murkowski said this morning of the stunning presentation by house impeachment managers. she says, quote, i knew what it meant to be running down this hallway with my colleagues. i wasn't fully aware of everything else that was happening in the building. now that they know, what will they do about it? what other surprises are in store from the house managers today, in the impeachment trial of the former president? they've already revealed a series of never-before-seen videos. vice president pence right there, looking behind himself and his family evacuating the senate chamber just before it was breached. senator tommy tubberville confirming overnight that he told the former president on the phone that pence was being evacuated, but the former president did nothing. house speaker nancy pelosi's staff, running to hide from the mob, moments before the insurrectionists tried to break down the door. senators mitt romney, chuck schumer, also seen on surveillance video. we have never seen this before, narrowly escaping the mob. >> and this morning, we have

. >> gop senator lisa murkowski is one of those seven and is up for re-election in 2022. she put out this statement about her vote to convict trump. if months of lies, organizing a rally of supporters in an effort to thwart the work of congress, encouraging a crowd to march on the capitol, and then taking no meaningful action to stop the violence once it began is not worthy of impeachment, conviction, and disqualification from holding office in the united states, i cannot imagine what is. which begs the question, is impeachment meaningless? as a tool to hold presidents accountable? >> look, impeachment isn't meaningless but impeachment is by the design of the founders the highest bar of political damage and ramifications and accountability that one can be held to. when you combine that with the most hyperpolarized moment we've had in modern american politics, you know, we just -- the republicans, democrats together weren't able to clear that threshold. it was intended to be a very high bar by the founders. there are other measures. they can pursue censure. they can pursue

watching the usual senators who usually vote their conscience, this includes susan collins, lisa murkowski, mitt romney, but other than that, it doesn't seem like there will be 17 republicans. and if the argument here -- the goal here from the impeachment managers leading up to today, the final day of the trial, was to change heart and minds from republican, it just doesn't seem like that will happen today. >> daniella, we'll watch for all of that. thank you. >>> and so professor for the center of the u.s. politics at the college of london is with us and also ross garber, thank you both for being here. ross, i want to start with you because i think one of the biggest most glaring question marks that has been left open today is this question that has gone unanswered it seems from senator susan collins and lisa murkowski, they asked specifically when did trump learn of the breach of the capitol, what specific actions did he take to bring the rioting to an end and when did he take them. what do you think is the consequence for that at the end of the day being unanswered? there were no specifi

much worth noting here, only murkowski is only up for reelection in 2022.oro and toomey plan not to run again after this term . they are running . romney is not for reelection until 2024, while cassidy, collins, and sasse are set through 2026. let's get more perspective on this. ron, i want to start with one of your tweets on saturday. you said this. trump insights, ignites, and rebels in right-wing white nationalist the intimidated a vast majority of gop into supporting him. no consequences means extremists are emboldened . explain the impact of acquittal for political reasons. >> if you look at the way this trial was unfolding, artistry of the 50 republican saying there should be no consequences for trump, for his actions in which he indicted, excited the mop at the capitol, and as we saw, ignored the request, laughed at the request by kevin mccarthy when he called in to call off the mop or to send more law enforcement help. if you look all of that, michael, it follows the decision by house republicans just a few weeks ago not to sanction marjorie taylor

your thoughts on his significance and the significance of the republican murkowski?l rests on them. clubs yes. so senator murkowski is an adopted member of the tlingit and won historically through write-in. i think there's a decent chance she goes to confirm haaland similarly, mentioned does not have that many native voters into ste but i think he understands the importance of the historic moment. while i think you can ask some tough qutions of haaland, i am hopeful he will also do the right thing. amy: julian brave noisecat, thank you for being with us, journalist and vice president of policy & strategy at the think tank data for progress. we will link to your piece in politico, "native americans finally have a cabinet nominee. will an adopted tlingit take her down?" next, refugee camp on the u.s.-texas border in matamoros, mexico, where asylum-seekers have had to brave freezing weather while living in tents. and we will look at the biden reversal of trump's remain in mexico policy. how is it working out? stay with us. ♪♪ [music break] @a this is democracy now!no, d

they are senators richard burr, bill cassidy, susan collins, mitt romney, lisa murkowski, pat toomeynd ben sasse. noteworthy here only murkowski is up for reelection in 2022, burr and toomey don't plan to run again after this term, romney isn't up for reelection until 2024 while cassidy, collins and sasse are set through 2026. cassidily immediately met the wrath of his republican party. there are a lot of louisiananess that are upset, disappointed we elected senator cassidy back in november and overwhelmingly sent him back to d.c. along with president trump. a former public policy director for mitt romney joins me now from mountain view, california. thank you so much for being here. so you currently informally advise a number of senate republicans on policy issues so you obviously know some of these senators very well. what's your reaction to the vote? >> well, it wasn't a surprising outcome. i think obviously we knew for some time that former president trump was going to be acquitted. i think the question was how many republican senators would come over and vote to convict the forme

it will need help from at least one republican senator like lisa murkowski who is still undecided on tanden. >> the stage we're in is working to continue to fight for her nomination and as you know, it's a numbers game. >> reporter: sources tell cnn the biden administration is conceding tanden's nomination could fail, as two senate committees postponed a vote on her nomination. >> it's really sad to see someone with her ability being denied an opportunity to serve this nation. >> reporter: and senator lisa murkowski expressing some serious concerns about tanden's past social media posts saying that she's worried that the country and senators themselves are getting numb to derogatory tweets. >> lauren, thanks very much. >>> in just a few hours the house holds its first hearing on the deadly insurrection at its u.s. capitol. lawmaker also hear testimony from the acting chief of the capitol police and acting house sergeant at arms. cnn's live at the preview. >> reporter: the testimony of the acting chief is so important. at the time of the insurrection she was head of intelligence and o

i voted to convict president trump because he is guilty. >> lisa murkowski released a detailed and firry statement saying if months of lies and organizing supporters to thwart democracy -- is not worthy of impeachment, conviction and disqualification from holding office in the united states, i cannot imagine what is. >>> but, you knew the but was come figure you had been watching this weekend. the vast majority of republican senators in a cowardly act of bad faith, hid behind a mute procederal question that they invented like mitch mcconnell, who let's remember, delayed the impeachment trial until donald trump was no longer president, and then said, he could not convict him because he was no longer president, thank you, mitch. and that said, utterly absent from all of the proceedings was a single defense of trump's actions and even after voting to acquit the form president, mcconnell took to the floor to basically say he thinks he is guilty and should face legal consequences. >>> there's no question, done. president trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of
