And his quest for bipartisanship. In his first News Conference of his presidency a while ago, he pledged to, quote, eliminate the vitriol. He didnt rule out passing his relief bill without republicans but says well see how negotiations go. Manu raju joins us now. The article of impeachment will be marched to the senate in a few hours. Walk us through what happens. Reporter former President Donald Trump will be charged with incitement to the insurrection that lhappened her on capitol hill. Read aloud the text of that very brief, one article charging the former president with inciting the insurrection. And afterwards, tomorrow will be the day in which the senators, who act as jurors, will be sworn in. Presiding over this case will be patrick leahy, presiding officer of the senate. Hes senate pro temp, the most senior member. Not chief justice roberts, who presided over the 2020 trial because this is not involving a sitting president but a former president. Thats given rise to a number of concerns, particularly from republicans about whether this is constitutional or not, to try a former president. But today, the senate majority, chuck schumer, took to the senate floor and pushed back on that criticism and said going after firmer President Trump is within the bounds of the constitution. The theory that the senate cant try former officials would amount to a constitutional getoutofjail free card for any president who commits an impeachable offense. There seems to be some hope that republicans could impose the former president s impeachment on process grounds rather than grappling with his actual awful conduct. Let me be very clear. This is not going to fly. The trial is going to happen. It is certainly and clearly constitutional. And if the former president is convicted, there will be a vote to disqualify him from future office. Reporter that will be a central argument that House Democratic impeachment managers will make on the senate floor when it comes time to argue the case. The arguments themselves wont be heard in public until the week of february 8th. Thats when they plan to begin those opening arguments, but the next two weeks, there will be briefs filed by both sides laying out why they believe this is constitutional and why democrats believe he needs to be convicted and the defense will lay out its case about why this should be thrown out. Overall, the question remains, too, how far will democrats go . Will they bring in witnesses who may lay out more of Donald Trumps thinking, at the time in which he spoke to the rally january 6th and to the runup of that rally and what he was doing behind the scenes to subvert the will of voters who lebtd joe biden. That is the question. Will they bring in witnesses . I asked chuck schumer, whether or not he believes there should be witnesses. He said that has not been decided yet. That is one key question. Other questions remain about the length of this trial. In talking to democrats, they believe that this trial will not go as long as a the 2020 trial when donald trump was charged with abuse of power and obstructing congress. They believe this trial will be less than 21 days. Uncertain how long it could go, but it could eat up a chunk of february at a key time when joe biden is trying to get his nominees confirmed and theyre trying to move on a covid relief package. Overall question, too, will senators break ranks, and convict donald trump . At the moment, that appears increasingly unlikely. Wolf . Twothirds majority to convict. Theyll deliver the article of impeachment to the senate tonight. The trial wont start until the week of february 8th. Tomorrow afternoon theres also related activity. Tell us about that. Reporter thats when the senators themselves will take their oaths to be jurors, essentially, in this proceeding. There will be a summeons that will be sent to the president and his team. Then theyll start to lay out specific arguments in briefs that will be delivered to the senate, acting as a court here. Then arguments on february 8th. For two weeks, things will be quiet as the senate tries to move on other parts of the agenda and confirm joe bidens nominees. Those senators are supposed to be jurors in this trial. Thank you, manu. Kaitlan collins is joining us. We heard from the president a few minutes ago, talking about his latest executive order, the lagging effort to vaccinate americans against the coronavirus. Update our viewers on the very latest. Reporter his First Formal Press Conference since take ing office. Joe biden came out, talked about that Campaign Promise you heard so many times, where he said 100 Million People would be vaccinated in the first 100 days that he was in office. Because that means 1 Million People per day, and experts said we already reached that threshold last week, President Biden raised it earlier today to 1. 5 Million People per day. That is his new goal, he said. Wolf, he also warned before we round a major corner in this coronavirus pandemic, he said we could reach deaths of up wards of 660,000 people. President joe biden now predicting every american who wants a vaccine can get one by this spring. I think well be able to do that this spring, but its going to be a logistical challenge that exceeds anything weve ever tried. Reporter thats sooner than Trump Administration officials had estimated and comes after bidens Health Officials declined to make a prediction. Once we have that information, i guarantee you, we will share it. Reporter in his first press Conference Since taking office, biden also raised his goal of 1 million krchd vaccinations a day after experts said that threshold was already reached. I think with the grace of god, the goodwill of the neighbor and the creek not rising as the old saying goes, we may be able to get that to 150 1. 5 million a day rather than 1 million a day. Reporter while the white house hammers out details with congress, bidens first days in office have been filled with efforts to undo President Trumps actions. After trump tried to terminate covid19 travel restrictions on his way out the door, today biden reinstated them on nonu. S. Citizens who have been in brazil, ireland, the uk and much of europe while also extending them to south africa, due to the spread of a coronavirus variant strain. I believe the travel ban will be important, in addition to having a situation where anybody coming in to the country now is going to be required to have a negative test before they even get on the plane. Reporter in the oval office today with his new defense secretary by his side, biden also reversed trumps ban on transgender troops serving in the military. Im enabling all qualified americans to serve their country in uniform. Reporter trump had announced the ban by tweet, effectively ending an Obama Administration effort that allowed Transgender Service members to serve openly. I think im doing a lot of people a favor by coming out and just saying it. As you know, its been a very complicated issue for the military. Its been a very confusing issue for the military. Reporter meanwhile the Justice Department watchdog announced today he will investigate whether any current or former officials tried to improperly use the department to, quote, alter the outcome of the 2020 president ial election. That comes after the New York Times first reported that a littleknown Justice Department official, jeffrey clark, secretly plotted with President Trump about ousting the acting attorney general and using the department to pressure georgia lawmakers to overturn the states results. While it was another stunning sign of how far trump tried to go to change the election, he never followed through, fearing mass resignations. Now, wolf, the president may be about to add another member to his cabinet officially, because we believe janet yellen is on the cusp of being confirmed as the u. S. Treasury secretary. That comes after senator Mitch Mcconnell said he would vote to confirm her. Once she is confirmed, she will be the first female treasury secretary in american history. Well let our viewers know as soon as that happens. We expect it to happen fairly soon. That will be an historic moment, indeed. Kaitlan, thank you very, very much. Our chief Political Correspondent dana bash is with us. Cnn chief political analyst Gloria Borger is with us, and ben ginsburg is also with us. Gloria, well soon see this one article of impeachment against the former president , former President Trump be transferred from the house to the senate. This is an important and historic step thats unfolding right now. It is, wolf. First of all, we have a twiceimpeached president , which weve never seen before. I think its an existential moment for the Republican Party where senators are going to have to decide whether they want to convict a president of inciting an insurrection, something weve never considered before. And its a complication for joe biden, because he wants to get his covid relief package through. He wants to get his nominees confirmed. This will take up an awful lot of time that i think if if given the choice, he would rather spend doing those things than impeaching convicting, i should say, donald trump. I think youre right. Dana, you had a chance to speak with republican senator mitt romney yesterday. You asked him if he thought it was appropriate that the former president was impeached by the house. Lets listen to what he told you on state of the union. I believe that what is being alleged and what we saw, which is incitement to insurrection, is an impeachable offense. If not, what is . It continues the pattern that the president had of trying to corrupt the election by his communication with ukraine, by trying to corrupt the election with regards to the lie that he has been spreading over the last several months, and then, if you will, firing up a crowd and encouraging them to march on the capitol at the time that the congress was carrying out its constitutional responsibility to certify the election. Dana, that opinion clearly doesnt seem to be all that popular with other republicans right now, does it . At least not in public. And at least not, for the most part, it seems right now so much that it will guide their vote on the during the impeachment trial. But, remember, of course, mitt romney, bens old boss, is somebody who, a, was the only republican to vote yes on one of the articles of impeachment a year ago. And, b, was out there, very publicly on this network and elsewhere, warning that if the president and his enablers didnt change their tune, then there would be violence and, unfortunately, that is exactly what happened. So, youre right. He certainly is not in the norm. He doesnt have a lot of people around him who are willing to say what hes willing to say. And potentially willing to do what hes going to do. We dont know how hes going to vote on this one article. But if you talk to people privately, a lot more republicans agree with him, that if if that is not an impeachable offense, they dont know what is. Senator romney said he believes it is constitutional to hold an impeachment trial after someone left office. But theres some debate about this. The president s legal team is going to argue its unconstitutional to do so now that hes a private citizen and not a sitting president. Its an issue thats never been obltried before. If you ask more than one lawyer youre going to get more than one opinion. The weight of authority seems to be it is permissible to try a former president and it would be a majority vote of the senate to try to say that the trial should not be. Also discussing the possibility of launching a new political party, depending in part on how republicans vote to convict him in the senate. What are the implications . What implications would that have . Is he or isnt he . We dont know. People who work from him who say hes not going to do that. Then there are those who say that theyve heard him say, yeah, i want to start a new political party, something called the patriot party. And i think the implications are something we dont really know yet, if he were to decide to do it, what he wants to use it for is pretty obvious. He wants to use it for leverage. He wants to be able to threat threaten those in the senate who would not go along with him, with being primaried, for example. And raise money against them. He has a considerable amount of money that hes already raised and his pack. Theres a lot of ways he can wreak havoc among republicans. Will he do it . We dont really know, wolf. What does this mean for President Biden right now . Will this impeachment trial in the senate thats supposed to be begin the week of february 8th make it more difficult for the new Biden Administration to secure bipartisan support, lets say, for the Coronavirus Relief bill . I really think that theyre separate in so much that the trial is about the former president. And President Biden so far has really tried to stay out of it for lots of reasons. Having said that, if there are republicans, looking for excuses to not work with President Biden, they can probably put that on the list. Not to say that that would be legitimate, but it would be a potential excuse for them to use in saying that they dont want to work across the aisle. The more likely scenario is that theyre going to fight his policies and his proposals rather than use trump as an exc excuse. Where can this lead . It can lead to finding down the road, wolf, not in time for impeachment. How deep donald trump was in all the machinations, including the Justice Department, the georgia secretary of state and its making them wonder how deeply involved was he in the january 6th insurrection march as more and more people are indicted by federal authorities, are they going to find out that donald trump or members of his team were talking to the insurrectionists about their plans for that day at the capitol . Dana, ben and gloria, thank you so much. Some are arguing the impeachment trial itself are unconstitutional. Well talk about that and more with one of the house impeachment managers, congressman Joaquin Castro is standing by live. Well discuss when we come back.

Death toll now topping 420,000 people as the country faces more than 25. 2 million confirmed cases. Tonight, theres deep concern, its growing, about the variants of the virus increasingly showing up here in the United States. Nick watt is in los angeles with more. Reporter is that more contagious coronavirus variant first found in the uk also more likely to kill you if you catch it . Im pretty convinced that there is a degree of increase in seriousness of the actual infection, which we really have to keep an eye on. Good afternoon. Reporter today, President Biden, hoping to slow the spread of that and other variants, reinstated travel restrictions for nonu. S. Citizens coming from much of europe and brazil, also adding south africa. The vaccines that we have now do work. Reporter against these variants. Although moderna says its vaccine works but not quite as well against the south africa strain. Theyll test if a third dose or variant booster might help. For now, in the raw numbers, there is some optimism. First time since mid december, fewer than 115,000 americans in the hospital with this virus. These past two weeks average daily case counts have fallen 30 . But the country still adding more than a million infections a week. On average more than 3,000 deaths still reported every day, and if the variant that has a greater degree of transmissibility becomes dominant, well be faced with more problems. And 1 of the population double dosed. Team biden says hamstrung by a team trump hangover. Is there at least a ballpark amount that officials are aware of, of how much vaccine there is . Well, our team is working right now. Weve been here for five days, to evaluate the supply. So the confusion around this issue, which we acknowledge there is some confusion, speaks to a larger problem, which is what were inheriting from the prior administration, which is much worse than we could have imagined. Reporter there are more disturbing insights now into how hard it was to fight the pandemic and save lives when donald trump was in charge. I saw the president presenting graphs that i never made. So i know that someone, or someone out there or someone inside was creating a parallel set of data. There was a considerable amount of mixed messaging about what needed to be done from the top down. And that really cost us dearly. Reporter President Biden is saying that he thinks by the spring anybody, everybody who wa wants a vaccine in this country will be able to get one. He calls it a logistical challenge unlike anything ever seen but says it is doable. However, wolf, the darkest hour comes before the dawn. January, this month, is projected to be the deadliest month of this pandemic so far. Wolf . First day of spring is, what, march 21st . Lets hope that happens. Nick watt, thank you. Former cdc acting director dr. Richard beser is joining us. Thank you so much for joining us. New cdc director, who has just taken over the position that you once held says, and im quoting her now, i cant tell you how much vaccine we have. Thats a direct quote. How quickly should we expect the new administration to get their arms around this crisis and improve Vaccine Distribution . Well, wolf, you know, thats a good question. I couldnt imagine what it would be like, coming in and not having that critical piece of information. As states around the nation are planning to administer vaccines, not knowing for certain how many doses are going to be coming each week, that makes it really hard to figure out how many doses do you need to make sure you have for second doses versus first doses . Its a critical piece of information to have, to be able to predict how many people can you vaccinate and how quickly . Its a starting block that they just dont have yet. They need that information and they need it right away. The white house also says its working to ensure there is enough supply for americans to get their second doses on time, three weeks or four weeks, depending on the vaccine. There is some confusion about when people should go back for a second dose. And the cdc has updated its guidance. What do americans need to understand about the two doses that are required . Well, you need to understand that both doses are required in order to get the full protection. I think you also need to understand that while we all want to get vaccinated, there are people in our country who are at greater risk, and as we think about what people need to do to protect themselves, and get this under control, its wearing masks, its social distancing. Its washing our hands. But its also waiting our turn and making sure that theres enough vaccine for essential workers, those people who are keeping society going. I look forward to the day when im called to get vaccinated. But i would not want to get vaccinated ahead of someone who is working in the grocery store, someone who is running our transit system. We have to be patient and recognize theres not enough vaccine right now. We knew that coming into this. But eventually there will be enough vaccine for everyone in america. The cdc is also reviewing new data that suggests, dr. Beser, that the coronavirus variant identified in the uk, for example, could be even more deadly. Modeling shows this new variant could become the predominant variant, actually, in the United States by march. What precautions do americans need to be taking now . Well, i think it reinforces the importance of flattening the curve. That phrase we used back in the spring. The more the virus can transadmit, the more those mutations are allowed to take h hold. But if we all do those steps and follow Public Health guidance, we can reduce transmission, reduce the impact of mutants. From a Public Health perspective, it ups the ante, ups the importance of them doing monitoring, checking the genetic makeup of viruses as theyre spreading across the country and Companies Like moderna being ready, if the virus changes, to have vaccines that will be effective. This is all part of the back and forth between us about this virus, and were going to need to continue to do this until its under control. Moderna says its vaccine is expected to protect against new variants, but it also says its working on a booster to better address the variant found in south africa, for example. So how quickly could that booster be developed and tested . And does this mean that people have gotten two shots might need a third shot down the road . Well, at this point, what we can say is that these vaccines are effective against both of those mutant strains as well as whats circulating here primarily in the United States. It shows the importance of scientists keeping up with this. One of the exciting things about the moderna and Pfizer Vaccine called mrna vaccines, is that they were developed extremely quickly. They can be modified extremely quickly. So, its one of the things that gives me hope is that the Vaccine Technology can keep up with these mutations. But, again, it points to the importance of getting this under control quickly so that mutations, mutated viruses cant take hold in our communities. This could potentially be a huge, huge problem. Dr. Fauci says wearing two masks is likely more effective than a single mask. When should people consider double masking, and what types of masks, dr. Beser, can be layered most effectively . Yeah. You know, aive seen a lot about double masking. My recommendation first off is if everyone wears one mask, we will accomplish a lot. Right now there are a lot of people who arent wearing masks, who dont see the value in that. Theres incredible value. I have a lot of hope. Cdc is working on recommendations, on rating scales for masks. Because, you know, you could stack together two masks that arent very good and it wont be as effective as one mask that has a much higher rating. So, you know, theres a group at cdc called niosh and they rate masks for hospitals, health care settings. My understanding is theyre working on ratings that can be used for the masks that we buy in the stores. And i would look to that to help instruct people, you know, what masks to wear that will provide the best protection. Important information from dr. Richard beser. As usual. Doctor, thank you so much for joining us. Thanks, wolf. Stay with us. Were about 90 minutes away from history. The article of impeachment being delivered to the u. S. Senate.

Get started today. A truly historic moment at the white house today. There was a ceremonial swearing in for the new defense secretary, lloyd austin. Vice president Kamala Harris administered the oath and tweeted this photo. The pentagons new press secretary is joining us right now for his first cnn interview since taking the job. Hes a familiar face to all of us here in the situation room, retired u. S. Admiral john kirby. Thanks so much for joining us. Good luck with your new assignment. I know this is something you know well, serving at the pentagon. Lets talk a little bit about the history of whats unfolding right now. Its truly historic to see the countrys first africanamerican Vice President swearing in the first africanamerican defense secretary. How significant of a moment is this for the pentagon . I think its very significant for the pentagon, wolf. Think about that. The first africanamerican defense secretary. You have to ask yourself, why did it take us so long . It speaks to the value that a diverse military brings to the defense of the country. It certainly speaks to secretary austins long, dedicated career in uniform, and the capabilities, the leadership he will bring to the department. I also think, wolf, it sends a powerful symbol and is a great example to young men and women all throughout the country, who are thinking about joining the military and what they can do to contribute to the defense of this country, to see that an africanamerican is now a civilian head of the defense department. Yeah. The u. S. Military has been very diverse, ahead of the curve in so many areas. I remember when i was covering the pentagon, chairman of the joint chiefs was general colin powell. Theres been a history of diversity which is very good. Secretary austin was there today when President Biden signed an executive order, repealing the trump ban on Transgender Americans serving openly in the u. S. Military. Whats the message that the message being sent today to the Lgbtq Community . The message is simple. Everyone who is fit and willing to serve this country in uniform should have the opportunity. And now they will have that opportunity. As long as they meet the regular standards for coming in to join the military, they will not be d discriminated against. We defend all americans. As secretary austin said its also about having enough talent, the right talent to fill out the ranks. Why would we rob ourselves, deprive ourselves of the talent of so Many Americans based on Something Like gender identity . It just is not in keeping with our core values and what we represent. So its an historic day for the pentagon, in yet another way today. Former President Trump said this was not what the military wanted, it was uncomfortable for the military. You know the military. You served in the navy for a long time. Give us the reaction from the men and women in the military to this decision today by the president. Well, you know whats interesting is that there hasnt been some rousing reaction to this, wolf. I think this was a policy that was in place in 2016 during the Obama Administration that had been fully staffed and vetted and the chiefs of all the serves said they see no decrease in military readiness because of allowing transgender people to serve in the military. And so were kind of going back to that old policy. Thats the new policy now made old. And i just dont think youre going to see much of a reaction, other than the support that we have already seen and heard from Service Members all throughout the country, that they believe this is the right thing. So, so encouraging. The acting Army Secretary commented on the ongoing threats here in the nations capitol, saying there were concerns that, in his words, malicious actors could use lawful protests to create trouble, about 7,000 National Guard troops will stay here in washington through midmarch, john. But have lessons been learned since the capitol riot . Give us the latest. Of course lessons have been learned. This is not a mission our National Guard typically performs. They serve Civil Missions throughout the country. Thats typical for them. They have had a busy year. This is a unique mission. Theyre learning from this. Its put them in some ways in a difficult spot, in between defense of the capitol and the government, and the institution and the people that those institutions serve. But theyre doing an amazing job. They really are. They were sucked out of their jobs and away from their families on very short notice. Theyre out there, in the cold, making sure that the business of this government can go on safely. I think we are learning a lot of lessons and well build on that going forward. Mostly we want to make sure while we keep the institution of government going safely, we get them back to their jobs and homes as soon as is practical. And many of them will be leaving very, very soon. Very quickly, have you gotten any explanation why those National Guard troops, hundreds if not thousands, were booted from the capitol, forced to go to some underground garage, breathe in exhaust fumes, very few bathrooms . It was a horrible decision. I dont know who made it. Is there an explanation why that occurred . The men and women of the National Guard should not be forced to do that. No, they shouldnt. You saw that even President Biden was very clear and open about his regrets for what happened to them, as many members of congress were, too. I think it was a miscommunication between the Capitol Police and the National Guard. It was temporary. They werent actually there for that long, but it should have never happened, clearly. Everybody has learned a lesson from that as well. You saw recently Capitol Police and National Guard for d. C. Put out a joint statement about their appreciation for one another and the respect that they have for both institutions. So we obviously learned a lesson from that. Thats not going to happen again. I think it was really more of a miscommunication than it was anything as a matter of policy or anything like that. Retired admiral john kirby, good luck as the press secretary at the pentagon. Its a tough job. Well stay in close touch with you. Thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me, wolf. Stay with us. Were awaiting the historic moment when house impeachment managers will walk from the house to the senate to deliver the new article of impeachment against the former president of the United States.

Were following breaking news on capitol hill. The nomination of janet yellen to be the first female treasury secretary in u. S. History. Lets go back to manu raju, watching all of this unfold. She is expected to be easily confirmed by a rather lopsided majority, right . No question about it. Overwhelmingly, the senate is about to confirm her to become the first woman to take that post atop the treasury department. Three republican senators have voted against the nominee, senator john boseman of arkansas, Missouri Republican josh hawley. The vote is still open. There might be a handful more but we expect this vote to be overwhelmingly lopsided in favor of her confirmation. That includes Senate Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell, who announced today he also would support her nomination. Wolf, this will be the third biden nominee who has been confirmed since the president took office on wednesday. Lloyd austin to be defense secretary, confirmed on friday. Avril haines, director of national intelligence, confirmed on his first night in office. Those three nominees, while all groundbreaking in their own right, first woman in that position, first africanamerican as the head of the defense department, first woman above treasury, this effort to confirm nominees are moving at a slower pace than joe bidens past predecessors, including barack obama, bill clinton, george h. W. Bush, george w. Bush, all had nominees confirmed at a much more rapid clip. Even donald trump on his first day in office in 2017 had two nominees confirm ed on that firt day. Biden, as i mentioned, just one. So, democrats trying to get more nominees confirmed this week, including possibly tony blinken to be the head of the state department. Others as well. They will need cooperation from republicans as well, given the rules of the senate and given the unusual nature here. This 50 50 senate, they have not officially organized the senate because of a fight between the leaders of the senate. As a result, republicans still control the senate committees, even though the democrats are overall in the majority right now, because theyre operating under last years rules. Theyll have to sort that out, wolf, if they want to try to get bidens cabinet confirmed quickly. History unfolding on the senate floor right now. Well update our viewers on the final vote. Janet yellen will become the first woman secretary of the treasury. Avril haines, first woman to lead the National Security and lloyd austin the first afr africanamerican to betohead the defense.
