And another stain on Rudy Giulianis legacy. The formermayor, turned trump lawyer, has his New York Law License suspended for pushing election lies. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. This is cnn breaking news. All right. You are looking at live pictures coming in from surf side, florida, right now. Awful situation that has unfolded. Our correspondent, randi kaye, is son thon the scene for us. Randi, local officials just a few moments audio, they gave us an update on the condo collapse. What is the latest . Update our viewers. Some good news and some bad news, wolf. They are telling us now, that 102 people have been accounted for. Which is very good news for some families. But they are still saying 99 people remain unaccounted for. So those families, certainly, on edge at this hour. But i should emphasize this is, still, a very active searchandrescue operation. They are searching in the Parking Garage beneath this collapsed building right now. Thats where the teams are, beneath that pancaked building. They have been searching in that rubble since before 2 00 a. M. They thought they heard a noise, not a voice in the rubble earlier. But still, no word on what that turned out to be. But the search, wolf, does continue. Reporter Daylight Hours are waning as the massive Search And Rescue underway in surf side, florida, continues where a 12story building partially collapsed this morning just a few hours north of miami beach. This is very sad when you are dealing with people that dont know the outcome of their family. Theyre very worried. Theyre theyre they just are desperate, in the sense that they want to know whats actually taken place. Reporter Surveillance Video from a nearby building appears to show the moment this 12story condo partially collapsed. Miamidade fire rescue responded to the collapse at 1 30 in the morning, and were able to rescue 35 people from the structure that was Still Standing. Two people were rescued from the rubble. 11 of those people were treated onsite, while four were transported to the hospital. One died. The problem is the building has, literally, pancaked. It has gone down. And i mean theres theres just feet in between stories where there were ten feet. That is is heartbreaking because it doesnt mean, to me, that were going to be successful as successful as we would want to be, to find people alive. Reporter President Joe Biden saying the federal government is ready to help. We are on top of it. We are ready to move, from the federal resources, immediately. Reporter about 55 of the buildings 136 units collapsed. Sending up a thickdust cloud, and leaving piles of rubble below. The structure is, still, unsteady, with much of whats left just dangling. Building resident, barry cohen, recalls the horrific moment after it collapsed. I looked down the hallway. And its a very long hallway. Probably, a hundred yards, 75 yards. And there was nothing there. It was just a pile of dust and rubble. And paint falling from the ceiling. Reporter Nicholas Balboa was out walking his dog when he heard a voice shot shouting. It was a young boy stuck in the rubble, desperately in need of help. I saw an arm sticking out of the wreckage. And he was screaming, you know, can you see me . You know, he was just screaming, dont leave me. Dont leave me. Reporter balboa was able to alert rescue teams, who got to the boy and saved his life. And as the search continues, at this hour, wolf, families are, certainly, getting anxious because there is only, really, a couple of hours of daylight left for them to search. The last thing these families want is for their loved ones to spend another night, overnight, trapped in that rubble if they are, indeed, still alive. But saving lives is, certainly, still, the priority here. Finding anyone buried in that rubble is the priority. Of course, Everyone Wants to know what caused this collapse but officials are saying there will be time to get to that. They will look into that, once they finish this searchandrescue mission, wolf. Such a heartbreaking situation. Randi kaye sonon the scene for. Thank you very much. Lets discuss with the mayor, Charles Burkett. What is the latest you can tell us about the situation where you are on the ground . The latest is, you know, weve relocated all the people that were in that building. And next to that building. And right now, our efforts are, exclusively, focused on finding people alive in the rubble. Nothing else. And youre and theres 99 people. 99 people that you are looking for, is that right . No. I i wouldnt put a lot of reliance on any of these numbers, yet. It you know, its less about the numbers and more about the fact that we are just going to stay looking for people until we we finish this job. What is the searchandrescue process look like right now . With weve got live pictures coming in from the scene. That rubble is is enormous. Oh, its its you know, buildings dont fall down in the United States. I mean, we, obviously, know there were two buildings that fell down in 2001. But this is a thirdworld country event. And we need to find out why these why this building fell down. But todays not that day. Todays the day to save lives. So, were 100 focused on that. As youve speculated, mayor, that perhaps there were some issues with this buildings support or a sinkhole, maybe. Are authorities, at least right now, and then i want to move on, any closer to figuring out what led this 12story building to collapse . Well, absolutely figure it out. I mean, but that wont happen today. And, you know, all of those possibilities are on the table right now. Its just that stuff is less important right now than pulling people out alive because time is of the essence right now and every minute counts. Is, first, pulling people out alive, mayor, are you getting all the support . Local, state, federal, and and i understand, theres some International Efforts underway, as well, to try to help . Let me tell you. We we have ive had a call from the white house. Ive had the governor of our state here with me. Ive had both of our United States senators call me. Ive had Debbie Schultz here most of the day. I have had the mayor of dade county give us resources, like you couldnt believe. Were not lacking for resources. We are lacking for a little good luck, right now. How long do you think its going to take to clear out that rubble . And and god willing, find people alive . Were not going to worry about how long it takes. Were just going to do it. Were going to keep doing it until we find out we find all the people we can that are alive. Before we go, anything else you want to tell our viewers . You want to tell our viewers here in the u. S. . Yeah. I do. I want to tell you that, you know, at 2 00 in the morning, when when i arrived. We had our First Responders here and we were told the building was in eminent imminent danger of collapsing. And those guys ran right into the building and they started pulling anybody that was left, that didnt walk out on their own power, out of that building. So, you know, this this is a story of courage and heroism. But its, also, a story of of a fight against time, right now. So thats what were doing. But thats the Silver Lining in this very, very dark cloud. We have got some heroes on our hands and we got a lot of work to do. And we we are grateful to those heroes. Are you concerned, mayor, about other buildings in surf side right now . And we hope it doesnt happen that, god forbid, could could have the same kind of disaster . I this this well, i tell you what. We dont understand why this building fell down, and we need to. But the first thing we need to do is save the lives that we can save. We have got a Sister Building like this one block away. But its its kind of unimaginable, to imagine that that would happen, again, at the same time. Weve had roof work on this building. And thats, also, probably, not the reason why this building came down. But in any event, like i said, were going to be worried about saving lives right now. And then, we are going to worry about. Why this happened. Good luck, mayor. Mayor Charles Burkett of surf side, florida. Thanks very much for joining us, good luck. Lets get more on this disaster. Joining us now, daiv downey, a retired miamidade fire rescue chief. And cnn Law Enforcement analyst, roberto. Chief downey, nearly 100 people still unaccounted for right now. So, what is happening . Try to explain, to our viewers, how they are trying to find anyone, anyone, who may still be alive under that rubble. Well, thanks for having me. And and, yeah, thanks for the opportunity to explain. And and whats happening right now is highly specialized, highlytrained, and experienced Rescue Workers. That are methodically, and deliberately, conducting a search of the entirerubble pile. And theyre looking for any signs of life. Well use canines to run the rubble pile and look for sur pick up a scent from a survivor. Well use Search Cameras and Listening Devices to be able to um um check for any detection of any survivors in the rubble pile. But this is an arduous process, painstakingly, space by space by space. In order to successfully have, you know, a a a good outcome. So, these rescuers are going to work through the night and i would imagine, for the next couple days, in rescue mode. Trying to ensure that everyvoid space is accounted for and that theres no survivors left. Chief downey, we are just showing our viewers some new video that weve just obtained. Underneath this building, you see Rescue Workers there. Theyre going through it. This is very, very dangerous for these Rescue Workers, as well, isnt it . Because we dont know the structure of of what remains. How how how structure how strong it could be . Well, i mean, therein lies the challenge, that you have part of an existing building Still Standing thats unsupported. You have all the debris that is still attached to where the collapse occurred. And so, the Rescue Workers are making deliberate moves. They are making educatedrisk decisions, based on the information. Weve got Structural Engineers that work with our teams. That evaluate the building. And make the ultimate decision of what areas they can go into, what areas they cant go into. And what areas they may be able to go into, once they stabilize it. So, this is a process. They have devices that are monitoring any movement in the building, to a small centimeter of movement. Theyre theyre monitoring, right now. And if they have to, they pull the Rescue Workers out. But this is something that, you know, fortunately or unfortunately, these Rescue Workers are trained to do. Theyre experienced. And theyre going to work through the problems. They are true heroes. Chief, how challenging is it to coordinate a scene like this . Have you ever, personally, seen anything like this here, in the United States . Personally, other than the issues that were talked about in 2001, no. These are extremely challenging issues. But also, this is why most jurisdictions hold jointoperation practice sessions, where they they do tabletop and, also, livescene scenarios where they Work Together. They need to understand how each agency works together. Hopefully, they have a commoncommunication channel. They, all, understand incident command. Right now, this is a fireandrescue mission. And there has to be no pride about that. You know, fire and rescue are in charge of this. Police and Law Enforcement will serve as a supporting role and trying to keep perimeter control. If theres a need for any evacuations, they can assist. Notifications. But also, maintaining the clear path for the rescue vehicles, as people are found, to make sure theres an easy path for them to access out. So, there is a tremendous amount of coordination and they, all, Work Together and support each other in their efforts. Chief, chief downey, we are going to stay in close touch with both of you. We are going to stay on top of this story, obviously. A heartbreaking story unfolding in South Florida right now. Thanks to both of you for joining us.

Our senior white house correspondent, phil mattingly, is working the story for us. Phil, its not a done deal. Since the president has tied it to another bill, only supported by democrats. Not necessarily, all democrats. Thats exactly right, wolf. Lets be clear here. There is a long way to go. But clinching this deal. Something the president made a Major Campaign issue about. That he could make bipartisan agreements happen, in an extraordinarily polarized washington is a key component of what the president was seeking to do. Its an issue that has debeveled his predecessors for the last several administrations but today, President Biden securing a longsought bipartisan agreement. We have a deal. Reporter tonight, President Biden clinching his longsought bipartisaninfrastructure deal. Got everything they wanted in this deal. Thats what it means to compromise. Reporter validation for a process, many republicans dismissed, and more democrats castigated. I know, there are some of my party who discourage me from seeking an agreement with our republican colleagues. Who said that we should go bigger, and go alone. To them, i say this. Ive already shown, in my young presidency, that i am prepared to do whatever needs to get done to move the country forward. Reporter Biden Huddling in the oval office with ten senators, including five republicans, signed on to the deal. The people i was with today are people that i trust. I dont agree with them, on a lot of things, but i trust them when they say this is a deal. Well stick to the deal. Reporter emerging with a roughly 1 trillion package. 579 billion of that in new spending. 66 billion for passenger and freight rail. And 15 billion for electric buses and infrastructure. And more than 100 billion for water and broadband infrastructure. The investments well be making as a result of this deal is long overdue. Reporter its a marked departure for bidens predecessor for whom infrastructure week became a Running Punch Line from the ability to make any progress, at all. Yet, turning the deal into an actual law is hardly a sure thing. Something, even biden acknowledged. Progressivedemocrats, already, ripping into the proposal. Way too small. Poultry. Pathetic. It has to be combined with a second, muchmorerobust, adequate package, to be deserving of a vote. Reporter making clear, they will vote against it unless they have assurances a sweeping, second, multitrilliondollar proposal will move, as well. Biden moving, immediately, to address the flareup, head on. The bipartisan bill, from the very beginning, was understood theres going to have to be the second part of it. Reporter making clear, his proposals to invest billions in education, climate, and the socialsafety net, must pass, as well. If this is what comes to me, im not signing it. Directly aligning with democratic leaders. There aint going to be an Infrastructure Bill, unless we have the Reconciliation Bill passed by the United States senate. Reporter its an arduous, twostep process, now, in full swing. With biden acknowledging nothing is guaranteed. But making a bet that underscores his confidence in whats ahead. My party is divided but my party is also rational. If they cant get every single thing they want but all they have in the bill that before them is good, are they going to vote no . I dont think so. Reporter and, wolf, this is turning into a day of potential breakthroughs for the biden administration. Just a short while ago, we are now learning Police Reform. Something that has been the subject of negotiations for several months, now, may be on the verge of a deal. A statement from the key negotiator saying, quote, after months of working in good faith. We have reached an agreement on a framework addressing the major issues for bipartisanPolice Reform. Now, the caveat is, it is not all done, yet. And nothing is agreed to, until everything is. But very clear that, on another, Central Agenda item for President Biden, there is a path forward. And lawmakers hope to close that deal in the coming weeks, wolf. If they could do that, that would be very, very significant, indeed, for this new administration and for the country, for that matter. Phil mattingly reporting for us. Thank you very much. Lets get some more on all of this. Cnns political commentator, van jones, is with us. Senior commentator, john kasich, the former republican governor of ohio. And our chief analyst, gloria borger, is with us. Van, hurdles remain on this infrastructure compromise deal. But how important is it to see these very rare moments of P Bipartisanship . Look, i think its extraordinary. Look, its hard to fly this plane but if you got a pilot like joe biden, you can actually get it off the ground, move forward. Now, he is going to have to land that plane with democrats only but its still good and i think we ought to, every now and again, take yes for an answer from republicans who want to be constructive. I think joe biden is [ inaudible ] today. How realistic is it, gloria, that congress can pull off that dual track . Passing the traditionalinfrastructure deal . And a much bigger, Progressive Package that could be passed through whats called reconciliation . As nancy pelosi said, she wants to see that happen in the senate, first. Before she has votes in the house. So, look. Its going to be very difficult but i want to echo what van said. Which is, just take a moment, and stop and think. When was the last time you saw a president standing with republicans and democrats at the white house saying we have a deal . We, all, agree on something. We havent done anything on infrastructure in this country, in a very long time. Yes, its the beginning of a process. Yes, it could turn out to be a house of cards. We have no idea. But we should appreciate what they have done because we havent seen that, in so long. Let let me ask governor kasich. The president is making it clear, he wont sign one, without the other. So what do you make of that tactic . I think thats bizarre, myself. I that, i dont understand. And i dont know what this Reconciliation Bill will be. But but if were going to celebrate something, we have an Infrastructure Bill. Why dont we just go ahead and sign that . Do it. Get it done. Sign it. Police reform. Great news. We need that. I think bidens realized crimes a major issue. So, hes now leading with that. We can get Police Reform, which means the police can be you know, that we can we can increase the resources for police. While, at the same time, hopefully, improving their their training and and having the reforms that we seek. In terms of this this this other package. I dont know that theyre going to get that through. This reminds me, back in the days when bill clinton. We had an issue, whether he would sign Welfare Reform and medicaid reform. And i advocated, at the time, lets take what we can get. And i think we are in a takewhatwecanget moment in washington and lets do the infrastructure. If were not getting infrastructure before reconciliation, im not sure you are going to get infrastructure. Im just not sure it will happen. Let me get van, and then gloria. Van. One, the physical infrastructure, and some republicans want to be constructive on that. Lets Work Together. But you have got a big gap when it comes to human infrastructure. You know, all these women that got knocked out the workforce because you dont have enough services to help with prek, with with elder care. Thats infrastructure, too, from our point of view. And if the republicans dont want to walk with us on that, we have to walk by ourselves. But the reality is, you know, some people said, just do it all by ourselves. We can get it all done by ourselves. We could have but biden wanted to do it differently and im glad that he did but we are not going to abandon those moms and elderly folks and those kids just because republicans dont want to come the rest of the way with us. And you might not be able to get the democrats you need in the house for this compromiseinfrastructure package, unless they have a promise of something larger on the human infrastructure. So if you were to take that vote, governor, right now, without anything else coming down the pike. They might say no. They might say we dont want we dont want to do this right now. I mean, thats thats bidens problem. Well, here heres the issue. Nobody is saying we should abandon these other folks. There are many parts of that bill. That big, 4 trillion bill, that there are parts of it that are good. Pass it separately. You know why they couldnt pass it . The reason they couldnt pass it does not have anything to do with republicans, van. It had to do with democrats. There are democrats that dont like that level of spending and taxation. So my view is we want an Infrastructure Bill . Then, pass the Infrastructure Bill through the house. Pass the Infrastructure Bill through the senate. If you cant get all the democratic votes in the house, pass it with republican votes. And hopefully, over in the senate, mcconnell will go along. So you could actually get something accomplished. But if were going to play this dance, its got to be both and not one. I dont know where thats going to leave us. Its its a mess. But its good news, initially, here about the package. You know, leadership really matters. I mean, bidens having to negotiate. And deal with a divideddemocratic caucus. And hes found a way through. You know, oh, hes out of it. Whats he doing . You know, this guy. If you listen to the other stations, you would think this guy is laying on a Lawn Chair Someplace and hes figured out how to solve a rubiks cube that is very hard to solve. Van jones, gloria borger, john kasich, thanks. Coming up. Rudy giuliani has his law license suspended for fueling formerpresident trumps election lies. Plus, well have more on the breaking news.

The truly horrible collapse of part of a 12story condominium near miami. We are just getting new video of the urgent searchandrescue operation happening right now. 99 people, residents, of that condo, are still unaccounted for, according to local authorities. Rabbi lipsker is joining us. Thank you so much for joining us. I know you have been Counseling Victims at the community center. As man of faith, how do you try to understand and explain something as horrific as this . You, obviously it you cant explain it so lets start from there. Theres no rationality for it. Anybody that gives you a rational reason for it is an idiot. This is something that transcends our capacity for understanding. Its a reality. We accept it and we have to learn, as we do in our in our culture, resilience. And to move forward because challenges dont hold us back. Even though its extremely painful. This is a surreal kind of a space, now, where hundreds of people are sitting and waiting for the ultimate judgment, alive, or, god forbid, not. So there is a hope in the air but its a very strange kind of feeling. I have rarely had this feeling, except in a war zone. I understand, rabbi, that some members of your own congregation are among the 99 residents who are listed as unaccounted for right now. And i know you have been meeting with their families. How are you helping them, right now . The only way you can help in this kind of a situation. The outpouring of caring, empathy, love, in the community, has been unprecedented, on any level. Every theres there are way more volunteers than we can use. Our synagogue big hall, which is a giant space, is filled with blankets, pillows, microwave ovens. Chargers. Food. It is an extraordinary outpouring, and its real. Its sincere. The only thing that helps In These Times is kindness and empathy and togetherness because you cant take away the reality. You cant make this is not about a pollyanna story. You know, thats good for the world to come but, in thisphysical world, we see it in a very dynamic way. So, id say, the way we help them is by just pouring kindness and empathy and being there where we dont leave them there for a moment, alone. They are surrounded, each family member, there are five or Six Community members that are around them giving them support and just being there and so forth. So its the only way that you can do anything for them. There is nothing more that you can do. Its very interesting. Its interesting, because the governor was here last week. He was here today. And he was here last week. And he signed two bills at our synagogue. One was the month of silence. The other was to give the local jewish Emergency Movement official status in the state. And today, both of those were the only things that were helpful. Prayer and this emergency units. Nothing else. So it went right into practice. Interesting perspective. Rabbi sholom lipskar. I was going to say, rabbi, please, pass along our love to your congregates, to members of your congregation there. Everyone. I know all these families are, so desperately, searching for their loved ones right now. And lets hope and lets pray to god that we that we can report that they will be found alive, in the midst of that rubble. Thank you so much for joining us. A amen. Thank you. Thank you, rabbi lip skar. There is other news tonight as well. Former trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani has, today, had his New York State Law License suspended over what a court calls his demonstrably false and misleading statements about the 2020 election. Cnn senior legal afafairs correspondent, paula reid has details. Reporter tonight, Rudy Giuliani has his law license suspended for promoting the big lie. They stole the election. Reporter in a 33page opinion, the state Appellate Court concluded ther e is un uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers, and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for formerpresident donald trump and the trump cam pin in connection with the trumps failed effort at reelection in 2020. He went on to become a top official at the justice department. And then, of course, the mayor of new york, before joining formerpresident trumps legal team. Mostly, defending that client in the court of public opinion. The collusion part, were pretty comfortable with because there has been none. Reporter the former president issued a Statement Today defending his longtime friend as a greatamerican patriot and the victim of, yet another, witch hunt. Giulianis team issued a statement saying they were disappointed by the ruling but once the issues are fully explored at a hearing, mr. Giuliani will be reinstated. The former mayor has been actively retweeting supporters and his son, andrew, also, posted this video. I stand by my father. He did everything, ultimately, by the book. Reporter but following news of his suspension, giuliani did not attend a federalcourt hearing in washington today on a defamation lawsuit brought by dominionvoting systems. Sending a lawyer to argue, on his behalf, instead. Rudy giuliani actively propagated disinformation to purposely mislead voters. Because giuliani and others incessantly repeated the false claims about dominion voting systems, on a range of media platforms, some of our own family and friends are among the americans who were duped. Reporter the company alleges giuliani and others put it at the center of numerous Conspiracy Theories related to the election. Giuliani, along with formertrump legal team member, sydney powell, and my pillow ceo, mike lindell, are all asking a judge to dismiss Defamation Claims Dominion has brought against them. Lindell continue today Attack Dominion on his way into court today. You are all out there talking about my pillow and youre all going theres rocks and knives in my pillows. No, id open it up and say, its beautiful patented fill. Thats what i would do. Dominion didnt do that. Powell, who famously Vowed Last November to release the crackin to prove widespread voter fraud also attending but there was no sign of the former mayor. Its incredibly unusual for a lawyers license to be suspended. And especially, for it to move this quickly, after these complaints came in earlierthis year. But giuliani, who had his apartment and Office Raided in april as part of an ongoing federalcriminal investigation, he can request a hearing to try to get his license reinstated. But thats going to be a long process. And, wolf, he has a lot of other, legal issues to tend to before he gets back in a courtroom as a lawyer. Yeah, thats important to understand as well. Paula reid, thank you very, very much. I want to bring in dave, the state attorney for palm beach county, in florida. And cnn legal analyst, elliot williams. Dave, how did giuliani go from being americas mayor, after 9 11, to personal attorney to the president of the United States, to now being unable to practice law in his home state of new york. Yeah, good evening, wolf. This is the latest in a long, sad decline of a guy who went from being americas mayor to americas favorite punch line. And the Appellate Court in new york was right to immediately suspend his law license because he repeatedly violated the rules of conduct for a lawyer in new york and, immediately, threatened the Public Interest through his lies. Its not just any lie. Its the big lie. The lie that undermines our democracy. Threatens our institutions. And leads to violence. And in the courts ruling, they mentioned the january6th insurrection. Words have consequences. And, you know, rudy is not just a lawyer. Rudy was a topfederal prosecutor in manhattan. And so, he knows better. We, prosecutors, are supposed to be ministers of justice. And he is not a prosecutor, anymore. But he continues to tar my profession. He continues to embarrass all of us, in the Legal Profession and so i think this action was overdue. What do you think, elliot . Because he was, correctly, as dave says, one of the top prosecutors in the United States. Right. And its incredibly rare. As paula had said in her reporting, to suspend the license in the first place but also to do it immediately. Now. He has a right to appeal it and ask for a hearing but the immediacy of it is a big deal. Lets forget donald trump, forget giuliani for a second. Look, i am a member of the bar there. And why they exist. And they theyre clear in this opinion. That its not about punishing individual attorneys. But protecting the integrity of the system. And if you cant trust lawyers, and set aside all the lawyer jokes you have. I know many of them, as well. But if you cant trust lawyers and cant trust courts, then the system completely falls apart. And what they are trying to do and what the court does here is try to protect the whole system. And they go in great detail, almost shameful detail, the kind of statements mayor giuliani had made. These, by vir tue of making the from his platform. Its really, very, very powerful. Dave, some people may hear this and think, lawyers, they they lie all the time in defense of their clients. You know, so whats the distinction here, from your perspective . I know, youve read the statement. What line did giuliani cross that led to this specific suspension . Well, the court sent out a bunch of things, including saying repeatedly that pennsylvania received more Absentee Ballots than they sent out. And he kept repeating the lies. He went in the court and in a court of law said that there was election fraud. And, of course, there was no election fraud. So its one thing to lie to the public. Thats bad enough. But you really cannot lie to a judge. And for those who think that all lawyers are like that. Were not. But there was an example of a lawyer like that. Roy cohn. And ironically, wolf, this week marks the 35th Anniversary of the disbarment of roy cohn in new york by the very same Appellate Court. In new york. And roy cohn was trumps lawyer, as well. And trump holds him up to be the model of a lawyer. But keep in mind that, roy cohn later died penniless and disgraced. And unfortunately, rudy seems to be on that same path.

With Senate Republicans blocking the creation of an independent commission to investigate the u. S. Capitol riots, nancy pelosi has announced today she will create whats called a select committee to investigate the riots. Lets dig deeper with the former fbi Deputy Director andrew mccabe. Andrew, thanks for joining us. How essential is it right now . Youre the former Deputy Director of the fbi, to get to the root causes, to learn exactly what happened leading up to january 6 and what happened on january 6 . It is absolutely essential to the safety and security of this nation. Its, you know, whats important here, wolf, is not politics or who is this story good for, and who is it bad for . Whats important is to try to figure out why our federal agencies, specifically the fbi and dhs, failed to prevent this act of domestic terrorism on our capitol, period. And the only way to get to the bottom of that is with a legitimate, powerful investigative entity. An independent commission would have been better than this select Committee Led by democrats. Thats right. As in all these situations, politics is the enemy of an investigation. You want these investigators to be able to go wherever the facts take them, and they need the ability to compel people to testify, to produce documents, to really get inside the agencies to understand what they knew, what they didnt know, and what they did about this situation. Because a lot of us remember the select committee on benghazi. How did that work out . I can tell you, as smun who had the unfortunate experience of appearing before a committee several times, it was just mired in politics. You really got the sense of sit at that table with a glass of water answering the questions that you were there to support a political narrative, rather than to actually get down to the bottom of what happened. What was the select committee that nancy pelosi has announced, will they be able to subpoena everyone who potentially was involved . Because if we dont learn from the mistakes in this historic event, were bound to repeat them. They need that power, wolf. They need the ability to issue subpoenas that the agencies and personnel have to comply with. I think it would be important for the president to send a loud and clear message to the federal agencies that full compliance and transparency with this investigation is a necessity. What is about Trump Administration officials, will they be compelled through subpoenas, like mark meadows, the white house chief of staff . They can be subpoenaed. It remains to be seen if they fight those subpoenas, whether they get dragged into court in the same way we did with many of the subpoenas congress tried to serve in the last time.

Pop star Britney Spears breaking years of silence and pleading with a judge to end the conservatorship that gives her father significant control over her personal and financial life. Lets go to cnns brian todd who is working the story for us. So whats the latest . Reporter wolf, Britney Spears says shes been traumatized by this conservatorship, that she wants her life back. She gave a disturbing portrayal of the control she says her father has exerted over her. She sold at least 33 million albums, and amassed a fortune of 60 million. But Britney Spears has told a judge shes a virtual slave. Spears spoke out in court on the phone, pleading for the judge to end her conservatorship administered by her father, jamie, calling it abusive. She said she felt pressured by her father, she felt pressure by him to work as much as she did. She felt pressure by him to maybe take medication she didnt want to. Reporter she told the judge she was put on lithium, despite her objections. While she was on lithium, she said, i felt drunk. I couldnt even stick up for myself. And she said, under the conservatorship, she cant get married or have a child. I have an iud inside of myself so i dont get pregnant. I wanted to take it out so i could have another baby. But this socalled team wont let me go to the doctor to take it out because they dont want me to have children. Those are all things that are tough to hear and traumatic, knowing that shes lived this whole life underneath his conservatorship for 13 years. Reporter since 2008, Britney Spears father, jamie spears, has had remarkable control over several aspects of his daughters life, including her money. He petitioned the court for Legal Authority over her because of concerns about her Mental Health and potential substance abuse. And following some very public meltdowns. Including one in 2007, where a headshaved britney wielded an umbrella and attacked a car belonging to a member of the paparazzi. Some of the singers more erratic moments captured in a documentary produced this year by the New York Times and fx, titled framing Britney Spears. We saw her tumble, we saw her fall, but now looking back at it, we know there were some Mental Health issues there. Reporter but Michelle Turner says Britney Spears is also now a story of redemption, that while battling the conservatorship and all her personal issues, shes still been one of the top earners in hollywood in recent years. She even has a movement behind her. Still, one Attorney Says conservatorships can often be difficult to get out of. The conservetee has a condition that doesnt get better, a lot of times it involves significant Mental Illness that stays with the person. So theres always the risk that if you release them, they may go back to the beginning. Reporter but the Attorney Says she believes the judge could grant Britney Spears more freedom and her father could be removed as the conservator. The father has always said he was doing what he had to do to keep his daughter safe and healthy. A lawyer for the father said hes saddened to see his daughter in so much pain and he loves her and misses her. Wolf . Brian todd, thanks for that report. Brian todd helping us appreciate this story.
