earlier today, president biden told reporters, he is confident a deal will reach his desk. and no more sticking points to iron out. msnbc news has also learned part of the deals raising the debt limit for two years, avoiding another debt showdown before the 2024 election. the deal also clause back some unspent pandemic funding, we ll talk about what that means. and shaves off some irs funding. it also expands work requirements for certain adults on food stamps. speaker mccarthy also spoke to senate republicans this afternoon about his deal at the white house, two sources tell msnbc, republican retold the bill 150 pages. and will include 15 pages of spending cuts. this morning, he told reporters, he expects a vote on the bill as soon as this wednesday. we did a conference call with a conference over 95% were overwhelmingly excited but what they see. they re getting the text today, the process, look, in every single negotiation, when it comes to debt ceiling and others, you
in a huge win for the justice department, a jury just found four members of the proud boys guilty of seditious conspiracy including the group s leader enrique tarrio. all of this related to their roles in the january 6th insurrection. baseless lies, the biden administration is blasting moscow s claim that the u.s. is somehow tied to yesterday s drone explosion near the kremlin. now russia is seeking revenge, even using drones itself to attack ukraine with the words for moscow written on them. we re live from the battlefield. and a mysterious illness, a detroit public school forced to shut down after reports of a spike in illnesses among young students stricken with flu-like symptoms. we re following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central. from insurrection to conviction, a major day for justice, coming two years and three months after the attack on the nation s capitol. some of the most serious offenders charged wit
were convicted today of seditious conspiracy. it s a rarely used, often difficult to prove charge. a fifth member was acquitted of seditious conspiracy, but he has been convicted on other very serious charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting an officer. but today s verdict means so far 14 people, including members of another far right group, the oath keepers, have either pleaded guilty or been found guilty of conspireing and plotting a violent overthrow of the united states government. this victory by the justice department, while it is a milestone and a massive and hugely consequential federal investigation into that plot to overturn an election and overturn democracy on january 6th, only underscores questions about holding accountable the man, who the vice chair so memorably puts it, quote, some in the mob, assemble the mob and lit the flame of this attack. we re talking about the disgraced ex-president himself. as the washington post report

little bit ago about consequences. renato underscored that point saying this really flies in the face that this is any argument that this is just a bunch of people that got together and happened to be at the capitol that day. this is a seditious conspiracy conviction for four of these people. this latest gentleman not guilty but guilty of so many other things. help us understand what this means for this moving forward and kind of zoom out if you can, because we re kind of getting down in the weeds a little bit, for people who are just tuning in, what does this mean? reporter: all right, so i ll sort of start with the reasons why perhaps a jury did not convict pezzola, the fifth defendant who faced seditious conspiracy charges. part of the reason may be because he was not in a leadership position. en enrique tarrio was then the president, if you will, the leader of the national organization of proud boys at that time, and then the others who were convicted held some kind of higher up
