Tuesday ramp up the vaccine rollout. Good to have you with us. In just a few hours u. S. House democrats will begin their first push to hold President Donald Trump accountable for last weeks violence at the capitol. Its not impeachment, though. Not yet anyway. Democrats will introduce a measure today demanding Vice President mike pence invoke the 25th amendment and remove mr. Trump from office. And if pence fails to do so, House Speaker nancy pelosi says she will bring impeachment legislation to the floor. In a cbs interview, pelosi explains why she believes consequences are necessary. There is a possibility that after all of this theres no punishment, no consequence and he could run again for president. And thats one of the motivations that people have for advocating for impeachment. Wont that take more than the ten days . Does it actually make sense . I like the 25th amendment because it gets rid of it. Hes out of office. But there is strong support in the congress for impeaching the president a second time. Theres a lot going on. Jeremy diamond has the view from the white house, but first heres ryan nobles with more on the democrats strategy. Reporter House Speaker nancy pelosi is ready to move forward with articles of impeachment against President Trump if Vice President mike pence does not begin the process of invoking the 25th amendment. In a letter to her colleagues on sunday night pelosi said that she is going to introduce a resolution on monday morning that will essentially put mike pence on the clock, give him 24 hours to decide whether or not hes going to take the step of moving forward on the 25th amendment. And if he doesnt, then the house will begin impeachment proceedings. That could happen as early as wednesday, and there is certainly enough votes for pelosi to get the impeachment passed here in the house. The question is whats happens when it gets to the senate . There doesnt appear to be an appetite by Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to begin a trial and convict President Trump especially before he leaves office in less than ten days. So the question is what does pelosi do after those articles of impeachment are passed . She could send them over to mcconnell for him to do nothing with them, or she could actually hold onto them and wait until President Trump is out of office. And when the democrats are in control of the senate and begin the trial then. There are still some benefits for the House Democrats to move forward with impeachment even after President Trump is out of office. There are longterm consequences President Trump could be in store for if hes ultimately convicted of those impeachment proceedings. So still a lot we dont know. The only thing we know for sure is that Speaker Pelosi is ready to take that first stem of doing something to hold President Trump accountable for his role in those riots that took place here last wednesday. Ryan nobles, cnn, capitol hill. Well, as House Speaker nancy pelosi indicates that the house will move this week to impeach President Trump, the president faces the increasing possibility that he will become the first president in American History to be impeached twice by the house of representatives. Now, a trial in the senate is a whole other matter and its very unlikely that will happen before president elect joe biden is inaugurated on january 20th. But the president is facing not only the prospect of impeachment. Hes also facing calls for his resignation including from several key republican senators. And hes also facing these questions of the 25th amendment with some calling for the president to be stripped of his president ial powers through that amendment. Now, President Trump making very clear according to our sources that he has no intention of resigning despite his role in inciting that mob on capitol hill last week. But there is this question of the 25th amendment, and the move by the House Speaker nancy pelosi will put a lot more pressure on Vice President mike pence to make clear what his position is on this 25th amendment. So far weve just heard from sources close to the Vice President , first of all, its highly unlikely hell actually invoke the 25th amendment. And second of all, hes still not taking it completely off the table because he wants to preserve it as an option should President Trumps behavior become more unstable. But it is remarkable that despite four years of unfailing loyalty to President Trump weve yet to hear mike pence say himself or through an on the record statement from his office that he does not support invoking the 25th amendment to strip President Trump of his president ial powers. That in and of itself is remarkable. And this move by the House Speaker could increase the pressure on mike pence to actually make his position much more clear. Now, on sunday President Trump also finally moved to lower the flag on top of the white house and order flags across the country lowered to half staff in honor of Capitol Police officer Brian Sitnick. Remark, though, it took President Trump two days longer than it took for the House Speaker nancy pelosi to order that move and only after a lot of withering criticism. Jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. Democrats whether in the house or senate appear united in their concern about what could happen if President Trump remains in office. And there are calls for impeachment growing louder. Theres no doubt it he should be impeached. President trumps actions over the last two months since the election has lost the right to be president. Well, you know, i absolutely believe that impeachment should be scheduled. This president must be impeached and removed and anything less than that is an abdication of Congress Constitutional responsibility. Donald trump represents a clear and present danger to the health and safety of the American People as well as our democracy. At least two republican senators have called for trumps resignation. Pennsylvanias pat toomey and alaskas lisa murkowski. But toomey says hes not sure impeachment is the right move. Meantime republican senator roy blunt says its time to look to the future. And House Republican nancy mace says impeachment risks inflaming trump supporters. Take a listen. One of the issues that i have right now whether this the 25th amendment, whether its impeachment right now is further dividing the country and pouring gasoline on a fire. I risked my life to take the vote on wednesday night to certify the electoral college. There are many of us out there that that happened to. Our lives were people were threatening us. I was accosted in the street on tuesday night, and i worry about that. Because the impeachment articles if it passes with a simple majority in the house, it needs twothirds in the senate. I dont know if theres an apt tite for it there, but it doesnt get to the senate until the 19th of january, the day before joe biden is sworn into office. I think we need to be thoughtful and careful about how do we go from here, and how do we ensure that theres a peaceful transition of power, the inauguration goes smoothly so we can get a fresh start starting january 20th. My personal view is the president touched the hot stove on wednesday and is unlikely to touch it again. And if thats the case, every day we get closer to the last day of his presidency, we should be thinking more about the first day of the next presidency than the last day of his presidency in my view. Daniel strauss is a senior political reporter for the guardian. He joins me now from washington. Good to have you with us. Thanks for having me. So House Speaker nancy pelosi has made it clear that the house will attempt to pass a resolution by unanimous consent monday morning calling for Vice President mike pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment to remove donald trump from office. Now, if that fails after 24 hours the house will move quickly on impeachment. How do you expect all of this to play out . I mean, its anyones guess right now, but i would say that the fact that the speaker said she listed impeachment as an option right after going through invoking the 25th amendment suggests that she does not think enough cabinet secretaries will come forward to remove trump from office that way and that it will eventually go to impeachment proceedings. Now, the reason for this is partially because President Trumps own doing. He has a number of officials who are acting secretaries in his cabinet, meaning theyre pretty new to the job. Theyre not officially cabinet officials, and theyre very, very loyal to President Trump. So even if there are few secretaries who privately feel that that the president is unfit for office, its more likely that they wont join in pelosis movement. Now, that means were going to impeachment. And again, thats a tough road to hold for democrats as well. They control the house but not the senate. And there arent they dont appear to be enough republicans right now to break the requirements to remove trump from office that way. Some republicans are still reluctant, of course, to call out President Trump. Senator roy blunt says that the president touched the whole stove and learned his lesson. But we of course all remember republican Susan Collins saying exactly the same thing after trumps first impeachment. What does this indicate to you about where other gop senators might stand when it comes to a Historic Second impeachment of the president . And of course for the senate theres talk of possibly doing the house first and the senate later when it comes to these impeachment proceedings. It still suggests to me there just arent enough republicans in the senate to successfully impeach the president. There are a number of them roy blunt is a great example. The missouri senator is up for reelection soon, and hes worried about angering the trump base either to a point where they will pose a primary challenge to him, or that will take away from his voter base which he needs. Now, missouri is a very red state. There arent any democrats in the highest elected offices there, but that could always change. And a new abc news poll shows 56 of those americans survaeye think trump should be removed from office while just 43 believe he should not be removed. What impact could a poll like this have on any decision made by Vice President pence. Hes not taken off the table his option to invoke the 25th amendment, which is interesting of course to remove the president. I mean, im still skeptical about that majority swaying the required number of federal officials needed to remove the president from office. There are only a few days left in his presidency, and 54 isnt that surprising given that democrats will control the senate soon. They control the house, and they narrowly won the presidency. So that really reflects the margin of sentiment across the country. But its probably not enough to sway the necessary amount of republicans needed to remove trump from office. And would you expect to see donald trump pardon himself between now and his departure . And can he even achieve that now given he and pence appear not even to be on talking terms . Yeah, i mean, its unclear if he can do that. But this has been something the president has been talking with aides and floating for some time now. And its clearly something that he that appeals to him at least to some extent. But its unclear especially since originally the part of that whole strategy required pence to be involved for him to be out of the picture makes it even more difficult for the president. Keep in mind that the Vice President and the president have not talked directly since the rioting and since the mob attack on the capitol. Indeed. Daniel strauss, thank you so much for your analysis. Appreciate it. Thanks. And we have new, horrifying video from the insurrection at the u. S. Capitol showing the mob dragging a Police Officer down the stairs and brutally beating him. I first need to warn you, of course, the video we are about to show is graphic. But its important to see the reality of wednesdays attack. It is difficult to watch. The officer gets beaten and stomped on, even hit with a pole that carried the american flag. The rioters use anything they have, a broom, a crutch, even a trump 2020 flag fastened to a pole to throw it at police who were trying to maintain a barricade at the tunnel entrance to the capitol building. And the assault on the officer happened roughly ten minutes after President Donald Trump urged his supporters through his now deleted twitter account to be peaceful and go home. Well, in the wake of the siege on the capitol, Law Enforcement agencies around the country are bracing for more possible violence. Officials say the riot has heightened their planning for the upcoming inauguration of joe biden. Cnns Jessica Schneider has our report. Reporter there is a lot of concern as we move into a new week and closer to the inauguration in the wake of last weeks attack on the u. S. Capitol. The capitol now surrounded by a 7 foot nonscalable fence and hundreds of National Guard members will be sent in for the inauguration next wednesday. That includes a thousand members from new york, 6,200 from across the country. And so far nearly two dozen people have been charged federally for their involvement in the mob that stormed the capitol. That includes a man found with 11 homemade bombs in his truck parked near the capitol, plus a handgun, Assault Rifle and ammunition. And prosecutors say that man actually had two handguns on him when police found him. And there was another man all e allegedly sending Text Messages threatening injury to Speaker Pelosi. When he was found he had an Assault Rifle and hundreds of round of ammunition. This is likely just the beginning of the charges. The acting u. S. Attorney in d. C. Now says hundreds of people may end up under arrest as they continue this investigation that encompasses hundreds of prosecutors and fbi agents working from three command centers 24 7. And finally there is some growing concern for the safety of members of congress, many of whom weve seen in videos yelled at, surrounded in airports as theyve traveled to and from washington. Well, this weekend we learned all members will be able to get increased security when they travel through airports. U. S. Capitol police, theyre coordinating with other Law Enforcement agencies to make sure those protections happen to keep those members of congress safe. Jessica schneider, cnn, washington. Well, big tech is responding to the siege on the u. S. Capitol. How these moves are impacting social media. Well take a look at that coming up. Plus the u. S. Is now moving to designate Houthi Rebels as a foreign terrorist organization. A look at what this could mean for the Incoming Biden Administration and humanitarian aid. Welcome back, everyone. Well, the u. S. Plans to designate yemens Houthi Rebels as a foreign terrorist group. Secretary of state mike pompeo says the move will provide additional tools to confront the iran backed militia. But diplomats and aid groups fear it could damage the u. N. s work on peace talks in yemen, hinder humanitarian aid and make it more difficult for the Incoming Biden Administration to craft a yemen policy. Joining us now with more details is Senior International correspondent sam kylie standing by in jerusalem. Good to see you, sam. So what could this potentially mean for Joe Bidens Administration and of course the humanitarian crisis there . Well, rosemary, firstly on the International Diplomatic front as you know Houthi Rebels and other belligerents in that now pretty long running war are part of a faltering Peace Process sponsored by and led by the United Nations. And if one of the belligerents in that namely the Houthi Rebels are dez naltsignated as a terro organization it makes it very difficult for them to participate, not impossible. Remember, of course, the taliban is currently involved in facetoface negotiations from time to time with american officials in their efforts to try to broker a longterm peace in afghanistan. So it doesnt completely cripple, but it certainly hamstrings the bidens administrations futur
