They drag him down the stairs and then they brutally begin to beat him. The officer gets stomped on, even hit with a pole that carried the American Flag. The rioters used anything they had, a broom, a crutch. Even a trump 2020 flag fastened to a pole. And this is even more evidence of how dangerous this situation was and how much worse this attack was than we first knew on wednesday as it was going on. Five people died in this riot including Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. He died on thursday due to injuries sustained while on duty. Earlier today this procession was held in the nations capitol in his honor. And now three days after his death, and after mounting criticism, the white house finally lowered its flag to half staff. The New York Times is reporting that President Trump hasnt even called officer sicknicks family. Vice president pence did. We are now just ten days away from the end of trumps presidency. There are growing calls from republicans that for the sake of american democracy trump should not remain president. You think it was an Impeachable Offense . Oh, sure. Yeah. Youd vote to impeach . In the well, if i think it is an Impeachable Offense that is exactly what i would do, george, but im not in there. You want my opinion. That is my opinion. I think if inciting insurrection isnt i really dont know what is. What ive heard from fellow republicans is theyve had enough. And that the president s conduct quite frankly since then has gotten them upset. As for the president himself, a man who took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States, youll recall President Trump did post this video on twitter thursday, a day before permanently being banned from that platform. In this video he finally vowed a smooth, orderly, and seamless transition of power. He condemned the violence that he incited. Listen to this. We have learned he appeared to some aides at least like he regretted taping this video, asking those around him whether it was being well received. With us now, cnns Jeremy Diamond at the white house. Some members of congress are now calling for the 25th amendment to be invoked. What are you hearing about that . Yeah, thats right. We are seeing that there are these discussions, this active Pressure Campaign both from outside the white house and also people inside the administration who have begun to resign themselves. I know there are at least two cabinet secretaries who actually began calling around to other members of the cabinet in recent days to discuss the possibility of invoking the 25th amendment or at a minimum to hold a Cabinet Meeting to confront the president about that. The question of course is where does Vice President mike pence stand on this . We were told initially the Vice President was highly unlikely to actually invoke the 25th amendment but now a source familiar with the Vice President s thinking is telling us that the Vice President has not taken that option off the table and that he wants to preserve it as an option should the president s conduct more unstable and in particular he is not taking it off the table in view of what has happened over the last several days and the reaction we have seen including from some members, republican members of congress who are calling for the president to resign or as congressman Adam Kinzinger is calling for the cabinet and Vice President pence to invoke the 25th amendment. That still remains an unlikely option. But what does appear increasingly likely is that President Trump will be impeached for an unprecedented second time, the first u. S. President in American History to be impeached twice. Lets talk more about that, a second impeachment for President Trump. What more can you tell us about where that stands today . Ana, the house of representatives is going forward, moving toward impeachment this week, but the details of exactly what will happen are still being worked out. They are still in open discussions among democrats tonight. Now, we know that at some point likely early in the week they will introduce the impeachment resolution, the House Rules Committee will meet, and very likely they could vote in the full house on the impeachment resolution as early as wednesday and that notably right now has 190 cosponsors. So when that goes forward, that is where they essentially have the Decision Point on sort of strategy to take. Speaker of the house nancy pelosi could send the articles of impeachment straight over to the senate if she does it will impact the first few days of the Biden Administration. It would be engulfed in talk of impeachment rather than focusing on things like getting his nominees through, on covid relief, things the Biden Administration has said they will prioritize in their new administration. So there is some concern about that. There is talk about delaying sending the articles of impeachment over to the Senate Holding on to it for potentially the first hundred days or so and let the new president really have his way for a few weeks and months and then get to it at a later date. But as support for impeachment grows among democrats on capitol hill it certainly does among republicans as well. It was notable this morning we saw the second republican senator, senator pat toomey, come out for impeaching President Trump. Here is what he told jake tapper earlier this morning. Republican colleague senator murkowski of alaska says President Trump should resign. She said, quote, hes caused enough damage. Do you agree . Yes, i do. I think at this point with just a few days left its the best path forward, the best way to get this person in the rear view mirror. I think there is also a possibility that theres criminal liability here. Im not a lawyer. Im not a prosecutor. And i do know that the, you know, the standard for a conviction in a criminal prosecution is quite high. Im not sure whether that could be met. Senator toomey also spoke about personal responsibility, that individual republican senators have up here on capitol hill, those like cruz and hawley, those senators that stood up to object to the electoral votes being counted. He says he believes those senators will pay a price and they have some soul searching to do. Ana . All right. Thank you both. I want to bring in former Homeland Security secretary under president Obama Jeh Johnson also former general counsel of the department of defense. Thanks so much for being with us. Thanks for having me, ana. Secretary johnson, the insurrection at this capitol was not spontaneous. Republicans including President Trump, they goaded their supporters for weeks about this day. There was plenty of right wing social Media Chatter about storming the capitol on january 6th. Who dropped the ball here . Why were the federal government and police so unprepared . Ana, that is a question that deserves to be answered and should be examined very carefully in the coming days. We know how to secure the perimeter of the u. S. Capitol. Four years ago for the inauguration of President Trump when i was in office i had the overall responsibility for the security of the inaugural event. There is a standard, a protocol in place. If you can anticipate the security challenges, we know how to do this for an inauguration, for a state of the union, for a u. N. General assembly. We know how to do this. Clearly, there was a failure to anticipate that this mob would try to rush the u. S. Capitol. And it seems rather obvious. This is not a matter of classified intelligence but a matter of open source Public Information about what we could anticipate what happened here. That, coupled with the president s own incitement of this crowd just before they marched on the capitol seems to me made it pretty obvious what they should have suspected. It wasnt just that they werent prepared at the onset. It was what appeared to be a delay in responding as well. What do you make of the two or threehour delay between the request for the National Guard and the National Guard actually showing up . Well, ana, those are facts that should be carefully examined by seeking information from those on the ground who were making decisions, real time, at the time. Im not in a position to give you an answer except to say that the guard should have been poised some place to respond much quicker and much more ably than they did by the time they got there. By the time they got there, the guard the event was pretty much over. And so far there have only been 18 people who have been arrested on federal charges that we know of. No one is facing murder charges. Nobody is facing a charge of insurrection or terrorism. Obviously somebody who killed officer sicknick is still out there. Are you surprised by how many have been arrested and by the types of charges were seeing at this point . I suspect a lot of the looters, the rioters, have retreated to other states from where they came. Im heartened to see on social media and elsewhere the photographs of these individuals, the names of these individuals. I believe it is a matter of time before that number of arrests will grow. Deservedly so. For very, very serious federal charges. And thats just it. The federal charges we know of at this point for a layman like me dont seem to be the most serious charges when you look at the gravity of the situation and the videos that were seeing and what we know and witnessed at the capitol of the United States, which should be one of the most secure buildings in the world. At this point there are some weapons charges. Theres a charge for knowingly entering, remaining in an unrestricted building or grounds without lawful authority, theft of government property, violent entry, disorderly conduct. But that doesnt carry the same weight as Something Like insurrection or sedition or terrorism. Right . Two things, ana. First, i believe, i suspect, i predict that the u. S. Attorney in washington, d. C. Will charge many, many more people out of this event. It is also the case, and i used to be a federal prosecutor myself 30 years ago, that very often you arrest someone on the quickest, easiest charge to hold that person on or to charge that person with and then the charges become more serious as the investigation proceeds and develops. And so it is entirely possible that someone who is arrested on day one on a certain charge will then face much more serious charges as the investigation progresses. I suspect thats part of what is going on here, ana. It took three days for the white house to lower the flag to honor the fallen Capitol Police officer. The president we are told still hasnt called Vice President pence who he was attacking on twitter even as the violence was under way while pence was in the capitol with his family and while rioters were calling for pence to be hanged. Reporting is that the one thing trump has appeared to express remorse about is taping the video where he condemned the violence and committed to a peaceful transition of power. What is your reaction to that . My reaction to that is donald trump needs to be gone from the whoa white house one way or another. Ten days may not be soon enough. He needs to be gone. And when i looked at the last four years, it is filled with cruel irony. Recall that in his inaugural address donald trump stood on the western front of the capitol and decried, deplored american carnage. Now four years later on the western front of the capitol that is exactly what we saw brought by donald trump. He needs to be gone. He was never qualified to be president. Dangerously unqualified to be president. And i hope that this is this dangerous experiment in democracy over the last four years is a real Lesson Learned for the american people. The election of a president , who occupies the oval office, is not a matter of who can best entertain us, who can best offend us. The office carries with it real responsibilities and powers and it requires someone with a sense of maturity and responsibility and understanding of how to govern and understanding of our history and values. So i could go on and on about how terrible this whole experience has been, capped by what happened on wednesday. That should be the capstone of Donald Trumps legacy. Let me just ask you real quick though. Is the u. S. More or less vulnerable today than it was before the insurrection we witnessed on wednesday . Ana, after january 20, trumpism if you will is not going away. There will be people who are angry, disenchanted, cynical, filled with hate, filled with racism, filled with antisemitism. They are not going away. This is a strand of our society and our culture that were going to have to wrestle with. This is not simply this is something for the incoming government to appreciate this is not simply a matter of reaching across the aisle or trying to build bridges. There is an ugly strand in our society, in our culture, and we saw the face of it last wednesday that somehow has to be addressed and that is not simply a matter of patting them on the back and calling them special people and telling them you love them and please go home. Well be at this for quite sometime. This ugliness has been brewing in our society for quite sometime. You said what doesnt need to happen. What does . The Biden Administration need to do . What has to happen on day one to try to nullify this growing threat of domestic terrorists due to White Supremacy ideology . There needs to be a focus from the Law Enforcement perspective from the Homeland Security perspective. On the strand of violent, white nationalism, racism, you know, in my time in National Security at the pentagon and at the department of Homeland Security we spent a lot of time dealing with foreign born, foreign commanded, foreign inspired acts of terrorism. That has now evolved to domestic based violent extremism. Just ask the Antidefamation League for example that tracks this. And so from the Law Enforcement perspective, this needs to be a top priority at the National Level for the u. S. Government. And there are a host of other things you and i could spend an hour talking about but we need to reckon with the fact that the face of terrorism now is what you saw on the steps of the u. S. Capitol last week. A lot of work needs to be done as you point out. Secretary jeh johnson, thank you so much for being with us. I appreciate it. Thank you. Will the president be held accountable . One republican senator admitting today the president s actions were, quote, reckless. But he thinks trump has learned his lesson. Really . Well discuss, next. But first, join cnn for all day live coverage of the inauguration of president joe biden, history making event in unprecedented times. That special all day live coverage starting wednesday, january 20th on cnn. Good morning, mr. Sun. Good morning, blair. [ chuckles ] whoo. Im gonna grow big and strong. Yes, you are. Im gonna get this place all clean. Ill give you a hand. And im gonna put lisa on crutches wait, what . Said shes gonna need crutches. She fell pretty hard. You might want to clean that up, girl. Excuse us. When owning a Small Business gets real, progressive helps protect what you built with customizable coverage. And im gonna eh, eh, eh. Donny, no. Oh. Congressional republicans are now facing a moment of reckoning after this weeks deadly attack on the nations capitol. Wednesdays violence was incited by the words and lies of outgoing President Trump and at least five people lost their lives. Just this morning one republican senator called trumps actions clearly reckless. Does that mean he is ready to impeach . Take a listen. I think the president s decisions and his actions that day and leading up to that day on this topic were clearly reckless. I said that very early in the evening on wednesday that this was a tragic day for the country and the president had involvement in that. My personal view is that the president touched a hot stove on wednesday and is unlikely to touch it again. If thats the case, we get every day we get closer to the last day of his presidency. Joining us now cnn political commentator Margaret Hoover host of pbs firing line and cnns senior political analyst the author of washingtons farewell and wing nuts. You heard senator blunt there. Any evidence this president has ever learned his lesson . Absolutely not. When i saw that first i just burst out laughing. I mean, there is nothing funny about what our country is going through but for any senator, for any one to say i think donald trump has learned his lesson is to be willfully blind and ignorant about everything weve learned about this president that culminated in inciting an insurrection and attack on the Capitol Building in order to stop the peaceful transfer of power. If you dont get it now just give up. This is serious. A lot of people get how serious this is. This is history book serious. It is not over and its not done and anybody who thinks donald trump has learned his lesson is clueless. It reminds me of what Susan Collins said after the first time President Trump was impeached, margaret. Well, thats because she said the exact same thing. And look. Even at that point it was clear that donald trump would never learn the lesson. I mean, his job is to double down and to do whatever he can and that he can get away with. And the law, the constitution, the rules, none of it apply to him. We all know that. What we didnt know and some people say they did and i think my husband warned of this for a long time but many, many republicans, myself to a degree included, never realized or expected that it would come to what we saw this week. And i tell you, Susan Collins didnt think that in 2020 but for roy blunt at this point, it is just unexcusable. It is choosing to live in denial in a way that is no longer defensible. It does feel like he is putting his head in the sand. I want you to look at this new interview with nancy pelosi taped with 60 minutes and listen as she lays out her case for why President Trump needs to go. What if he pardons himself . What if he pardons these people who are terrorists on the capitol . Or pardons himself . He can only pardon himself from federal offenses. He cannot pardon himself from state offenses and thats where he is being investigated in the state of new york. There is a possibility that after all of this, there is no punishment, no consequence, and he could run again for president. And that is one of the motivations people have for advocating for impeachment. Wont that take more than the ten days . Does it actually make sense . Well, i like the 25th amendment because it gets rid of him. He is out of office. But there is strong support in the congress for impeaching the president a second time. Let me bounce it back to you, margaret, and ask you about the 25th amendment pelosi mentions at the end. A source close to the Vice President tells our jim acosta that pence has not ruled it out and the source says that there is some concern inside pences team that there are risks to invoking the 25th amendment or even the impeachment process as trump could take some rash action putting the nation at risk. What is your reaction to that . Were still being scared by the bully as we try to figure out what is the right thing for the country. I mean, look. If mike pence is unwilling to stand up to the president after the president hasnt apparently reportedly spoken to him, since his life was threatened by the protesters he incited on wednesday, look, im not surprised. But im also not waiting around for this president s cabinet who is bullied and scared by him to do the right thing. I mean, look. This is the dance weve been seeing all along. Thats what makes the people who enabled this president s incitement and insurrection. This is a president who perpetuated a big lie on his supporters with the support of many members of congress and his cabinet and his administration. Because they were afraid of a tweet. Because they were afraid of him. This is a president who isnt strong but is weak. Whether he is the 25th amendment, there is a process in place. Weve got ten days. There is impeachment. There is an argument to be made as Chris Christie his former ally and endorser and supporter said. If inciting insurrection isnt impeachable, nothing is. There is also the question that was raised by leslie stall in that question. What if he tried to pardon himself . That i believe would ultimately be struck down by judges but it has never been tried. If he tries to pardon everybody involved with inciting this insurrection, tries to offer general amnesty to the people who stormed the capitol, his supporters. These were never intended by the founders to be things a president could pardon for but it is broad language and an impeachment could restrict his ability to do that. That is a strong argument in addition. Apparently he is expressing some regret for taping the video in which he is committing to a peaceful transition of power. And where he condemned the violence. I think that speaks volumes about where his head is at and whether he has learned a lesson. I also wonder margaret given what we saw in georgia just this past week where the republicans lost the senate seats, you now have one term donald trump losing the white house, youve lost the house previously, now the senate. Do you think that could change the calculus of republicans getting on board with impeachment if in fact they are thinking about the partys political future . It could, although the ultimate sign is Mitch Mcconnell and much mcconnell has said, look, folks, theres just not enough time to do this. He hasnt said nope were not doing it but Mitch Mcconnell still runs the senate until january 20th. And thats why this scenario that impeachment articles could be sent to the senate after joe biden is inaugurated, when Mitch Mcconnell no longer runs the senate, is also an interesting scenario to explore. Let joe biden have his first hundred days in office and then one might impeach a president and prevent him from holding future federal office. That would be, you know, a slap on the wrist. It wouldnt remove him from office but it would be something. Final word, john . Well look. It is not just about shutting down Donald Trumps political future. There needs to be absolute accountability for a president committing, inciting insurrection against the government. And for anyone in the government who enabled that. There is more information that is going to come out. It is going to be ugly. And already were seeing the fbi arresting people and realizing what the character of this has been. These people who rushed and destroyed and attacked our capitol. But the senators and congressmen who gave these people aid and comfort have a lot to answer to as well. How are they held accountable . Well, first of all, go look at the 14th amendment section 3. It is no person shall serve in the senate or house if they have engaged in an insurrection or given aid or comfort thereof. Obviously that is the context of the civil war. But i think a strong case can be made it could apply today. And there needs to be every constitutional and legal level of accountability put at the people who perpetuated this on our country, who enabled it, and who encouraged it and who enacted it, who stormed our capitol. That needs to be done. And the fact there is a possibility these people could be pardoned by the president should frighten everybody but not to the point where they are intimidated by the president. He is weak. He is not strong. Push back, insist on the rule of law really, insist on the constitution really. So we can get past this. Theyve had a chance all four years to do that at different times. John avlon, Margaret Hoover, many thanks as always. Thanks, ana.

Com groomer four days since we witnessed a deadly pro trump riot at the United States capitol and federal authorities just charged two more men for their alleged roles in the invasion. Authorities say each was carrying restraints inside the capitol. Lets get straight to cnns justice correspondent. What are you learning . Reporter federal officials promised more charges and tonight were seeing two new sets of charges just being announced. Both against men whose photos and video have been widely circulated on social media. First we have eric munchul known as zip tie man online. He was seen walking on chairs in the gallery, wearing parra military gear, and also carrying the plastic restraints. Police say he had a holster on his right hip and a cell phone. That authorities believe he was filming everything throughout. So he is now charged with entering restricted grounds, violent entry. Then a second man charged is larry rock of texas. He is identified as the man who entered the u. S. Capitol wearing a green helmet, green tactical vest, a black and camo jacket. He also had beige pants, was holding a white flex cuff that is used by Law Enforcement to restrain suspects. So he is also charged with violent entry and entering restricted grounds but, ana, this is going to probably keep happening in the coming days because the acting u. S. Attorney here in d. C. Says hundreds of people may end up under arrest as they continue this investigation, hundreds of prosecutors, hundreds of fbi agents, theyre working from three command centers 24 7 so the charges tonight are just the latest in what will likely unfold throughout this week, ana. Another person facing federal charges, jessica, from the riot is this man seen in a video here. They are at the front of the mob and he is in a standoff with this black Capitol Police officer at the doorway. He moves in on the officer, eventually chasing him up these stairs. Weve learned the man who is leading the mob, his name is doug jensen according to a cnn comparison analysis of his booking photo and posts on social media, cnn has reached out to his lawyer but no response as of yet. Watch what happens as this officer gets to the top of the stairs. He looks toward the open door to the left and then he moves away from it and he goes toward the camera. Weve learned that open door was the entrance to the senate floor. So this officer led this mob away from the senate floor. Jessica, what more are we learning about the charges against doug jensen, again, the man who appears to be leading the mob in this video . Ana, he is facing five federal charges. Among all the other defendants weve seen, five federal charges is actually a lot in comparison to what others are facing. It includes violent entry, disrupting government business, blocking Law Enforcement during the riot. He is 41 years old and we know he actually made it back to iowa before he was arrested. Fbi agents, you know, have been getting tips. Theyve been investigating all of these people who kind of flaunted their presence at the capitol on social media. Fbi agents worked along with local Law Enforcement in iowa to move in to arrest this 41yearold. They actually took him into custody on saturday so he, too, is facing these federal charges. Right now were up to 20 people facing federal charges and again, ana, we should be seeing a lot more people arrested and charged in the days to come. Thanks for that update.

Democratic congresswoman Alyssa Slotkin is asking for Capitol Police officer and veteran Brian Sicknick to be given special posthumous special honors and burial at Arlington National cemetery. The office of the secretary of the army says it supports that request. Cnns brian todd reports on officer sicknicks life and the emotions many are now feeling with his death. With flags lowered to half staff, the Capitol Hill Community is reeling over the death of a respected Police Officer, 42yearold Brian Sicknick. But with their sorrow, some including members of congress are also expressing anger. My heart goes out to officer sicknicks family. There are a lot of people who have officer sicknicks blood on their hands. The way that they went out, the way he died was unnecessary. Reporter Capitol Hill Police say officer sicknick was injured on wednesday while, quote, physically engaging with protesters. That he then returned to his Division Office and collapsed. He died late thursday. The youngest of three sons, born and raised in south river, new jersey, Brian Sicknick is being called a hero by his family. In a statement sent to cnn, the family is saying he wanted to be a Police Officer his entire life. As a means to that end, they say, he joined the new jersey air National Guard. That branch says sicknick joined in 1997, was deployed to saudi arabia, and kyrgyzstan, and served in a Security Force squadron, the air guards military police. Sicknick was honorably discharged from the new jersey air National Guard in 2003 and joined the Capitol Hill Police in 2008. Capitol Hill Police Say sicknick most recently served in the forces First Responders unit. One former capitol hill officer says the job is dangerous even under normal circumstances. Every day is your life is in danger. Its no promise that youll come home the next day or the same day that you go out. Every officer that swears in takes the job very seriously to protect congress. Officer sicknick and his colleagues, though by most accounts overwhelmed by the rioters are drawing praise from members of congress who they fought to protect. Many of our Capitol Police just acted so bravely. And with such concern for the staff, for the members, for the capitol, for the capitol of the United States. Many of them and they deserve our gratitude. We were all very fortunate the Capitol Hill Police that were there were thinking as quickly as they had, if they had automatic weapons, they could have killed hundreds of members of congress. Now one of the men who helped prevent that horror is being remembered by his family for his empathy, his commitment to rescuing dogs, his love of the new Jersey Devils hockey team. Brian sicknick had no children but lived with his girlfriend of 11 years. In a statement to cnn Brian Sicknicks family asks the public and media not to make his passing a, quote, political issue, but his death will be the subject of a federal Murder Investigation with the u. S. Attorneys office, the Capitol Hill Police, and the d. C. Metropolitan Police Taking part. Brian todd, cnn, washington. Well leave you with this image as we head to a quick break.

Food and Drug Administration is so concerned about the speed and the manner in which the Coronavirus Vaccine is getting to people across the u. S. That he says it might be necessary to stop the vaccine rollout and start all over again. The game has changed on the vaccine. We really need to get this vaccine out more quickly because this is really our only back stop against the spread of these new variants. If we can get a lot of people vaccinated quickly, we might be able to get enough protective immunity into the community. So we need to acknowledge that this isnt working and adopt a new strategy in trying to get it out to patients. That game changer as dr. Scott gottlieb puts it is a new variant of the virus emerging. I want to get an emergency physician at Brown University in here. Is a reset on this vaccine rollout plan even remotely possible at this stage . And how widely held is this opinion that the rollout is not working . We have three times as many doses that have been distributed to states as have actually gotten in arms. We have to do Something Different. And we have to do Something Different now. There is absolutely consensus on that fact. But stopping distribution of the vaccine doses that are already out there doesnt make sense. What we need to do is invest in better logistics, develop better plans and do that in parallel to the current rollout plans. At this point, we know around 7 Million People have been vaccinated. I understand you just got your second vaccine dose yesterday. What was your experience like . So, my First Experience was that i am just tremendously relieved to have that second dose in my arm. I know that ill be fully protected in one or two weeks. I did have a few more symptoms this time than after my first dose. After the first dose i had a sore arm for about a day. This time i had a headache, some fatigue, some chills. That all lasted about 24 hours. And i am mostly back to myself now. Okay. So thats good. And its good for people to know that they might experience some of these side effects, but that it goes away quickly, and obviously the protection is whats so valuable here that you have now going forward. Even though some people like yourself have received both doses, there is a question about how do you go about this. Joe biden says as soon as he takes office, hes going to release nearly every available dose of the vaccine to get more people their first doses. So hes not going to hold anything back to make sure that there is indeed that supply for the second dose. Do you see pitfalls to this plan, and will this ultimately result in more people getting protected faster . So i think that that type of plan is exactly the type of reset that Scott Gottlieb was talking about which is so needed. We need to rethink how we take the doses we have and get them out into peoples arms. Time is absolutely of the essence. And holding back doses now makes no sense. That said, we still need to keep to the twodose, 21day to 28day dosing regimen that has been approved by the fda. And what the Biden Harris Administration is banking on is that production is going to continue at least as quickly if not more quickly than it currently is. Theyre holding back a little bit just in case there are production difficulties. But their plan makes sense. We are under a dire Public Health emergency.
