Lets go straight to capitol hill, our congressional correspondent, ryan nobles is watching all this unfold. We have heard a lot of powerful debate going back and forth on representative greene. So explain to our viewers where things stand right now, ryan. At this moment, wolf, were just awaiting the vote on the house floor that will determine the fate of Marjorie Taylor greene. This is a vote of the entire house. A simple majority will be enough to remove her from both the education and Labor Committee as well as the budget committee. And this vote comes after a lengthy amount of debate from both republicans and democrats, making their case as to why she should stay on those committees and why from the democrats perspective, Sheh Hshould Beple off those committees. The most dramatic moment happened just a few momen ....
Conscience not her fealty to trump. 60 out of that number. One vote was present. We have manu raju on capitol hill. An historic vote. There was a lot of talk. The feel of it was as you were reporting earlier that cheney might lose. She went behind the scenes for several weeks in the aftermath of the vote to impeach donald trump, talking to members trying to get them on their side explaining her vote. It appears to have paid off. She was listening to the concerns and did not back away from her vote. In fact today she said she does not regret voting to impeach donald trump.

But this is a lingering problem that is going to continue to exist as republicans try and forge their way through this process. A lot of it comes down to winning elections, right .

Things that i just told you i cared about, and i want you to know, a lot of americans dont trust our government and thats sad. The problem with that is, though, is i was allowed to believe things that werent true and i would ask questions about them and talk about them and that is absolutely what i regret. Regret. Its about the closest youre going to hear for anything that even comes close to an apology. There was no apology. We have a lot to unpack from those remarks. As you can see there, congresswoman greene basically tried to portray herself more as a victim, not as a perpetrator of all this nonsense and she tried to distance herself from past support of qanon conspiracy theories, drawing a line around the year 2018 and compartmentalizing things there and saying that was a different person. The house is debating ahead of that vote this afternoon to strip congresswoman greene of her two Committee Assignments. A vote putti ....
