that could certainly empolleden others who are thinking about not cooperating in this investigation. paula reed, as always, thank you. let s bring back norm eisen now. ambassador eisen, if the house does vote in support of the criminal contempt resolution, it would be up to attorney general ultimately-maker garland to decide whether to prosecute bannon. how much goes into that decision? well, it s a weighty decision like any criminal charging decision, ana, and, of course, when i worked on the impeachment, we were involved in the house side of those deliberations. civil contempt resolution against don mcgahn and the attorney general barr himself, the prior attorney general, was the subject of one. here though it doesn t seem like a very close case for attorney general garland. the notion that bannon is even
much families could save under his universal child care proposal. his salesmanship may face its toughest test among fellow democrats, especially given the divisions pitting moderates against progressives. cnn s kaitlan collins joins us now from the white house. kaitlan, where does the white house think they are in the negotiations? reporter: well, ana, they keep say that they are making progress and that negotiations are happening behind the scenes, they they have been very hesitant to detail what those are, publicly talking about the calls that the president has had with the two key moderates who have been at the center of this standoff among democrats in congress. senator sinema and senator manchin. we know that president biden has spoken with both of them this week and senator sinema has made clear to the white house what exactly it is that she s looking fwhor it comes to an agreement on this proposal and so, of course, the white house says that progress is being made, but there a
and here it includes can include substantial fines, can even include jail time. that will be for the court to determine after a trial. we have to remember, ana, everyone, even those that s the hallmark of a rule of law system. even those that we have accuses of the most heinous crimes entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, but if proven guilt or if the capitol police officer pleads guilty, jail time potentially, fines, that will be up to the court, including assessing whether there was any remorse, a prior record and all of the prior bad acts and all of the other issues that may come into play here. but this is serious! when the guardians themselves are part of the insurrection, that is serious. these were private facebook messages so they are fully documented. does this make this a slam dunk
