have their depositions postpo ed as they, quote, continue to engage. dan scavinoscavino s has been pd as well. here s what jennifer said. there was an insurrection on our nation s capitol. what we re talking about is getting to the bottom of that. shouldn t everybody want to get to the bottom of that? democrats, republicans, people who have no affiliation whatsoever. i will say that there s going to be a standard review of documents on a case-by-case basis. psaki was also asked if this set a precedent for future presidents. her response, president biden had no plans to launch an insurrection at the capitol. joining us now, white house correspondent for politico and
january 6th rally, which really didn t have anything to do with presidential functions. so, in this case, it s going to almost certainly go to the courts because the reality is executive privilege, we simply haven t had the opportunity. it s been raised dozens of times, which is not enough for the courts to fully figure out exactly when and how far it extends. so, then it begs the question, would a move like this set a precedent and could it backfire with a lot more that could be exposed at what goes on at the at the white house than future presidents or even president biden himself might want. that s why i think members of congress are talking a bigger game than they really mean right now and there s nothing wrong with bluffing at this point but the reality is, if this goes forward, will that result in delay? it could also result in a loss. so, this is the kind of thing whereas even though the early rumblings from the select committee are, hey, we re not
letter a couple weeks ago calling for healthcare workers to be mandated to get vaccines, you saw and then, the department of veterans affairs and, of course, president biden calling on federal workers to get vaccinated. you saw a number of businesses follow suit. and we know from our reporting that many of them were waiting for the full approval of either the pfizer or moderna vaccine because that makes it legally easier for them to withstand challenges and be able to require these vaccines. you saw the pentagon immediately after the fda approval yesterday, say it was going to move forward with mandating that members of the military get vaccinated. so i think all of these set a precedent and and provide some cover for businesses that have been wanting to do this, to go ahead and do it. do you think the cdc s been a little behind the curve on not just mandates potentially but on boosters, as well? i think you ve got reporting, yasmin, that pfizer officials had a meeting with gover
sentencing. we finally now have a live feed coming out of the courtroom. we ll keep an eye on it once the hearing resumes we ll take through live. let s talk post sentencing here. the floyd family talked about what justice means for them. but also the impact of this moment in the impact of this mo in our country and where we go forward. reverend al talked about that briefly. i want to get your thoughts. what does not just the immediate sentencing in delivering justice to the floyd family mean but what is it going to take? and does this set a precedent, do you think, for other cases of similar magnitude? well, i think that a sentence of 30 years or more would bring not a sense of justice. justice would be getting floyd back, which can t happen at this point, but a sense of accountability. derek chauvin became the first white officer in the state of minnesota to even be convicted for killing a black person. and so the fact the jury came back with three guilty verdicts in the case and n
0 we know that we saw that mr. floyd did not want to be in the backseat. that s it. that s the rub. it was the need to get him in that backseat no matter what. once he was pulled out of the backseat, he was find. went down on the ground. not fighting, not punching. and he was placed initially on his side. he is already handcuffed. he is placed on his side in the recovery position. like he should be. he is trying to breathe. he is on george floyd s back face down on the pavement. and officer king sat on mr. floyd s waist area and officer lane pulled his feet down. you can even see mr. floyd trying to pull his feet up. we all are going to fight to breathe. everybody knows that fear when you all of a sudden realize you re having trouble breathing, it is just in ate. he tries to pull his feet up. but he is held down the three officers. officer todd is watching. he is placed face down on the pavement so harshly that it rubs the skin off his face. he has injuries from the knuckles from try
