Good evening. If you were wondering how long a disgraced expresident has to wait to be forgiven these days after inciting a deadly insurrection against the seat of democracy in hopes of overturning the election he lost, the answer is three weeks and a day. Thats how long it took House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy to make the pilgrimage to maralago and pay his respects to the former president. He went on his own initiative to talk strategy about taking back the house in 2022. He also went to try to make sure he would stay in the president s good graces, it seems. The expresident s Political Action committee put out a statement that reads in part, President Trumps popularity has never been stronger than it is today and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time. Three weeks and a day. Thats how little time it took for the party to rush back into the arms of the man who egged on the violent mob that descended on the capitol, smashed windows, beat Police Officers
Lets go outfront. Good evening, i am erin burnett. Outfront. Breaking news. House republicans meeting Behind Closed Doors to debate the fate of liz cheney after she voted to impeach trump. That meeting lasted more than two hours. As her fate is up in the air, one thing the minority leader Kevin Mccarthy made clear already tonight is that he is picking a side. Marjorie Taylor Greenes side, a side of Conspiracy Theories, too fringe for fringe. A woman who days ago said she still truly believes that the election was stolen and fraudulent. A qanon supporter. Mccarthys words tonight, past comments by Marjorie Taylor greene on school shootings, Political Violence, antisemitic Conspiracy Theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the republican conference. Well, that is clearly not true because mccarthys actions speak much louder than words, he is siding with greene. Nowhere in his statement does he mention pulling her from both committees. By the way, theyre plum committees, educatio
There is no substitute for what happens in the classroom in those moments of looking over a kids shoulder, seeing what they are working on, being able to correct them. John Martha Maccallum away and in a moment. But the latest on San Francisco schools, hi, claudia. Hi, john. City officials have run out of patience saying the Board Of Education and the School District have failed to lay out a conference of plan to get kids back into classrooms as soon as possible. Thats a violation of state laws of the city is taking its own district to court. Its been nearly 11 months since students here in San Francisco, along with millions of others across the nation started learning remotely. While many other districts and even San Franciscos private schools have resumed in person classes, Public Schools here remain closed. Even though the citys own Health Department says they could reopen safely with proper precautions. The City Attorney says District Leadership needs to get its act together. Unfor

Dana we have a capitol hill watch with jackie heinrich. The Senate Moving Forward on covid relief without republican support . Thats right, dana. President biden reportedly told democrats to move forward with his 1. 9 trillion proposal not long after sitting down with Senate Republicans to try to hash out a bipartisan deal. 618 billion proposal was swiftly rejected. Democrats cleared a procedural hurdle to go forward with Budget Reconciliation to pass bigger bill with a simple majority. Republicans can join us but dont try to go against us. We have the majority and we arent backing down. Our members who were in the meeting felt that the president
File. As you may know by now, trump lost his entire legal team over the weekend. He has since named two new lawyers just last night. They are david schoen and bruce caster, hes represented mobsters and longtime adviser roger stone. Earlier tonight he previewed his Trial Argument on fox news. Besides the fact that this process is completely unconstitutional and this is a very, very dangerous road to take with respect to the first amendment, putting at risk any passionate political speaker, which is really against everything we believe in in this country, foundation of the first amendment. But im going to tell you, its the most illadvised legislative action ive seen in my lifetime. It is tearing the country apart at a time when we dont need anything like that. I think President Biden missed a great opportunity to be a statesman and to demand that this thing be called off, frankly. This is the political weaponization of the impeachment process. Meanwhile, the Biden White House is ramping
