A congressional tribute will be held later this morning. And today, House Managers will lay out their case against former President Trump for inciting that insurrection. They argue that mr. Trump is singularly responsible for the deadly capitol siege. They want him barred from ever seeking Public Office again. Mr. Trumps lawyers claim their clients speech was protected by the First Amendment and a Senate Conviction would be unconstitutional. This morning, President Biden weighs in on this. His brandnew interview ahead. We also have breaking new reporting about the meeting overnight between House Republican leader Kevin Mccarthy and congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene. Greene has endorsed statements calling for the execution of democratic leaders. She has harassed survivors of school shootings. She suggested that Mass Shootings were staged or hoaxes. She has reportedly made wildly dangerous and outrageously antisemitic statements about the existence of jewish space lasers. All this and until this morning, were told, Kevin Mccarthy had not made up her mind as to whether to strip her of committee assignments. No official decision yet. People familiar with the meeting gave no indication that greene expressed any remorse. This House Committee meets this afternoon. But theres new reporting from politico that crossed seconds ago about how mccarthy is leaning this is big. And well bring that to you in just a second. First, Josh Campbell at the capitol where officer Brian Sicknick lies in honor this morning. Josh . A very solemn ceremony last night at the capitol, as lawmakers and members of the Capitol Police gathered to remember fallen officer Brian Sicknick. Now, a hears arrived at the east steps, carrying his remains inside the rotunda, where he is now lying in state. We saw two officers, one carrying a box with his ashes, another with the american flag, set those down on a table in the middle of the rotunda. We then saw lawmakers come in as well as Capitol Police officers to pay their respects. Just before 10 00 p. M. , we got indication that the president s motorcade had departed the white house for an unscheduled visit. He arrived a short time later, President Biden and the first lady to pay their respects. They arrived there, placing their hands over their hearts as they stood before the remains of this fallen officer. Now, i wanted you to take a look at one moment, which i think really captures what so many in the nation feel. Its very brief, but you see biden walk up to two wreaths that are there and he just shakes his head, seemingly projecting just how senseless this tragedy was, this fallen officer who died in that capitol riot. We know that there will be another ceremony today, a departure ceremony. His ashes then will be taken across the river into virginia where he will be interred at Arlington National cemetery. Alisyn . Josh, ill tack it here. Whats the latest, fremt on the investigation into officer sicknicks death . Authorities are struggling, john, to build a case. Thats what our sources are telling cnn, as they try to find the person or persons that were responsible for his death. We know that there are mountains of evidence. The video footage, some of the selfies that some of these rioters took. Were told that they have not. Itted a moment where someone had actually inflicted an injury upon this officer. Sources do tell cnn, according to the medical examiner, that he did not receive any type of blunt force trauma. He collapsed on the evening of the riot and later succumbed to his injuries. But were told right now, they are struggling to build that Murder Investigation to try to find, identify, and hold accountable the person responsible for his death. Josh, thank you very much for all of that reporting. So house gop leaders meet today facing a crucial test for their party. What will be the fate of two lawmakers, liz cheney, and qanon believer, Marjorie Taylor greene. Cnns lauren fox is live on capitol hill with more. What do we know, lauren . Reporter we know that President Trump, former President Trump has been out of office now for roughly two weeks. But he is still really overshadowing the republican conference over in the house of representatives. They are slated to meet today at 4 00 to continue discussions about liz cheneys vote and other republicans vote to impeach former president a couple of weeks ago. You also can expect that there is going to be more questions about what House Lawmakers are going to do, specifically, Kevin Mccarthy is going to do about representative Marjorie Taylor greene and whether or not she will remain on her committees. The fight over the future of the Republican Party reaching a critical point on capitol hill this morning, as House Leadership decides whether to punish members who Support Extremist Views and Conspiracy Theories, or those who voted to impeach former president donald trump. In the middle, House Minority leader, Kevin Mccarthy, who spent time with trump in florida just last bweek. Mccarthy will play a part in deciding how to handle Marjorie Taylor greene. President trump won by a landslide. Reporter a former congresswoman who promoted a number of baseless Conspiracy Theories. Mccarthy meeting with greene on tuesday night, but staying silent on her controversial actions. But in the senate, Mitch Mcconnell condemned the freshman congresswoman without mentioning her by name. I did yesterday express myself on that particular new member of the house. And i think i adequately spoke out about how i feel about any effort to define the Republican Party in such a way. Reporter other senators, like lindsey graham, refusing to pick a side. I want to hear from her. Before i judge what to do about her, i want to know what the facts are. Reporter for senator mitt romney, Keeping Greene in the gop will be detrimental to the party. Writing in a statement, i think our long history as a party has shown that its important for us to separate ourselves from the people that are whacky weeds. Meanwhile, the thirdranking Republican House member, congresswoman liz cheney is working quietly to hold on to her leadership position, facing scrutiny from some gop House Members after voting to impeach trump last night. I think there needs to be a vote. She didnt just go vote her conscience on the day of the vote. 36 hours, put out a statement in the sharpest possible terms. When you do that, i think thats a concern. In their meeting later today, House Republicans are expected to discuss those ten republican votes against trump. Mccarthy giving this answer about cheneys decision in january. I support her, but i do think she has a lot of questions she has to answer to the conference. Reporter congresswoman adam kinzinginger kinzinger, says its time for republicans to fix their focus. I think weve forgotten the art of leadership or really how to lead. Its sometimes leading in dark moments. Its times calling out things like qanon or saying that the idea of an election being stolen with widespread whatever is false. Reporter and of course, House Democrats are expected to hold a house rules meeting today to try to advance their resolution that would essentially Strip Greene Of Her committee assignments. That is something that steny hoyer, the House Majority leader has made clear, he is willing to put on the floor if republicans do not act to remove her. Alisyn . Okay, lauren, thank you very much for all of that. We have some Breaking News right now. Politico has just published details from inside that meeting between minority leader Kevin Mccarthy and congresswoman greene and cnn analyst rachael bade joins us now with her new reporting in politico. Rachael, what did you learn . So last night, mccarthy and Greene Sat Down and mccarthy tried to lay out from my understanding that this was coming to a head and that her controversial comments from, you know, years past, months past, were putting republicans in a really bad spot and they were, frankly, sick of it. He tried to lay out options for her, my understanding is, to say, you can go on tv, you can apologize for your remarks, you can denounce qanon, this Conspiracy Theory that in part led to some of the violence we saw on january 6th. And if you dont, you know, we could see gop colleagues remove you. And my understanding is this didnt perhaps go as well as he wanted. There was some hope with republicans that she would do the graceful thing and remove herself without making them ask. So mccarthy called a latenight meeting last night with his top lieutenants, basically the ones who choose committee assignments. And they talked about this and my understanding is the consensus in the room from my reporting is that everyone agreed, she should probably have to come off education and labor. There was a question about whether they could go to steny hoyer, the democratic leader in the house and make some sort of deal to keep him from having a floor vote on this issue. The big thrust of the meeting or the feeling in the room was that a floor vote and forcing republicans to take a vote, a yes or no in terms of removing a colleague, would be catastrophic on the campaign trail. They would either get hit from the base or if they were in a swing district, they could be labeled as somebody protecting a qanon conspiracy theorist. And so, the room agreed that if they can stop this boat, this democratic boat, that they want to do that. And so my understanding is that Kevin Mccarthy is going to be going to steny hoyer, pitching this idea of removing Marjorie Taylor greene from one committee. Shes on two, but one committee, and seeing if they can find a way out like that. Just to be clear. I want to reiterate this, because this is a big deal and this is more than we have known up until this point. Mccarthy is leaning toward removing her from at least the education committee, rachael . Thats right. And its a question of whether thats going to be enough, right . Is steny hoyer, are the democrats going to be okay with that . Shes got this other committee, a littleknown committee called the budget committee. Is there a middle ground that she can come to where she steps off of one but not the other . I dont know. I will say that theres a lot of angst angst and feelings of discomfort, concern about this woman on the part of democrats. And i dont know that him offering to take her off one committee himself is going to be enough. Well have to see. But especially because last night, im hearing that republicans talked about if they took her off, could they eventually put her on another committee . And that, i just dont think thats going to fly right now for democrats. The question i have is, are they so concerned about this house vote and voting on this issue that they will give the democrats what they want and remove her from both . And another option we could still see that seems kind of unlikely, is we could see Marjorie Taylor greene come out and apologize, denounce qanon, and you know, try to make amends herself or step down on her own accord. Im skeptical this would happen given her tweets and her defiance that she has shown. But thats another option. Im skeptical that would happen because of what she said just yesterday on a radio show. She said she was asked, would you like to clarify some of your previous positions . Would you like to apologize for them, whatever. And she said, i dont think i have anything to apologize for. For looking things up on the internet and asking questions about it on facebook . Big deal. Okay. So that tells you. That was yesterday. That was less than 24 hours ago. So that tells you she doesnt have the, i guess, Mental Capacity, to understand whats real on facebook and what isnt. And she doesnt think she needs to apologize for liking other postt executing Top Democrats like president obama, nancy pelosi, hillary clinton. She thinks thats looking things up on facebook. She doesnt understand shes incited violence. I dont know if she has the Mental Capacity or what, but as of 12 hours ago, she had no intention of apologizing. And thats probably why we saw mccarthy call this emergency meeting last night. They werent set to discuss this, but he called them in. Theyre going to continue this conversation today after he talks to hoyer. I do think its interesting, you know, republicans, even just 24 hours ago, i was hearing from them, can thand there was a con about, if we remove her, are we catering to democrats . Are we going to get hit for that . But overall, the concern amongst republicans privately about being tied to this woman is what is winning out right now. And thats why youre hearing them actually talking about bringing her off. Again, will it happen . We still dont know. But there is broad concern about republicans being sort of labeled the party of qanon, which if they allow her to keep saying things like this, then, obviously, thats going to happen. Its already starting to happen. And meanwhile, my colleagues at politico did this story that over at the Democrats Campaign arm yesterday, there was a conversation about how they would use republicans and qanon in elections next year. And that they think this is going to help them with recruiting good candidates, because they think theyll flip more seats and they could possibly hold the majority at the time when a lot of them thought that they were going to be on the defense because democrats control washington and naturally, republicans do better at a time when democrats control washington and flip the house. Last point i want to reiterate here. Apparently, what youre reporting is one of the outs that mccarthy gave Marjorie Taylor greene was to publicly den denounce qanon, and she wouldnt do that. I find that fascinating, particularly because the former president has had that same issue. Hes said, qanon is made of members that love america. Thats what he said about it. So she would not publicly denounce qanon. Theyre going to see what she says over the next few hours. Its going to be a really big day for the Republican Party, not judds based on what she does, but what they end up doing. And this could determine the future of how the Republican Party is seen in the coming weeks, months, and years. They have a big choice ahead of them. Rachael, thank you so much for all of this reporting. Keep us posted over the next few hours. It sounds like there will be major developments as the morning progresses. Thank you. Thank you.
