Many Senate Republicans are leaning on process claiming the trial is unconstitutional because trump is no longer president , a claim thats dubious at best zpl overnight a sobering reminder of just who trump is accused of inciting. A virginia man who faces conspiracy charges claims in a court filing he worked for the fbi and held a Top Secret Security Clearance for decades. Security at the capitol was extra tight for the trial. National guard troops still patrol the outside of the capitol complex. House Impeachment Managers are flanked by a security detail. Officials arent tracking any Security Threats but enhanced precautions are in place out of an abundance of caution. What will this trial look like and how long will it last . Cnns jim acosta had details. Reporter christine and laura, Senate Democrats and republicans have reached a deal on the time line of the trial. Under the agreement, the senate will vote on the constitutional role of holding a trial. Then we will see 16 hours of arguments over two days from both sides meaning this trial could potentially continue until early next week before a vote on conviction or acquittal. Hes been out of office down here in florida. Hes reaching out to allies and advisers telling them he believes hell be acquitted because there arent enough republicans to vote to convict him in his trial. In the meantime, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer has a deal on how this will play out. Heres more of what he has to say. The structure we have agreed to is eminently affair. It will allow the trial to achieve its purpose. Truth and accountability following the despicable attack on january the 6th. There must, there must be truth and accountability if we are going to move forward, heal, and bring our country together once again. Sweeping something as momentous as this under the rug brings no healing whatsoever. Reporter sources tell us trump has been fixated on punishing republican lawmakers who voted to impeach him in the house. Trump advisor says he sees his efforts as seeking, quote, accountability. Christine and laura . Jim, thank you so much for that. The Trump Legal Team has withdrawn its request to recess the Impeachment Trial on the 7th. That could shorten the length of the trial by a day. Yet pretrial Defense Filings suggest the trial is shaping up for disputes over basic facts. The former president s lawyers plan to argue their client did not incite the capitol riot but they gloss over the fact that he used the actual word fight close to 20 times during his preriot rally. The lawyers also noted that trump told rioters to go home but it took the expresident hours to release that video. And its the same one where he said the election was stolen from us and told the rioters, we love you and youre very special. One former senior official tells cnn the president was, quote, loving watching the capitol mob. The partisan fallout faces a real challenge for President Biden as hes on a mission to conquer multiple crises as the trial unfolds. Jasmine white is live at the white house. Nice to see you. Advisers acknowledge the next two weeks will be dominated once again by trump, but they think there will be an opening for President Biden to make a case for covid relief outside of washington. Tell us more. Reporter thats right. The white house is really digging in and President Biden will be pushing his 1. 9 trillion covid relief bill that is as Congress Turns to the Senate Impeachment trial of former President Trump. Now President Biden will continue to sell this plan outside of d. C. , as you mentioned, hell be talking to mayors, governors, Business Leaders all across the country. But one thing one advisor tells cnn that the president wont be doing is watching a lot of tv, watching a lot of tv on this Impeachment Trial. The president himself would tell you that we keep him pretty busy and he has a full schedule this week. I think its clear from his schedule and from his intention he will not spend too much time watching the proceedings, if any time, over the course of the week. He will remain closely in touch with speaker pelosi, leader schumer, a range of officials about his plan and thats exactly what they want him to do, remain focused on that. Reporter now the white house is trying not to make any headlines on impeachment. President biden was asked about it multiple times by reporters and continued to say it is up for congress to decide the outcome. But going back to the bill specifically, were starting to see some outlines of how the actual legislation could look. Yesterday House Democrats revealed that 1400 direct payment check to americans and they rejected a republican proposal to narrow who is eligible to receive this bill. So as it stands in this proposal yesterday, those who make up to 75,000, couples up to 150,000 can receive the full payment and that begins to phase out and caps off for single people who make 100,000 and couples who make 200,000. Laura . All right. Jasmine, thanks so much for laying all of that out. Well see you back in a little bit. A new report finds raising the federal minimum wage would give 27 million workers a raise and pull 900,000 people out of poverty, but at a cost. The Congressional Budget Office says raising the minimum wage to 15 an hour would increase the federal Budget Deficit by 54 billion over a decade. The minimum wage has been stuck at 7. 25 for more than a decade. Voters in many cities have passed laws themselves to raise the minimum wage. The report found raising the wage would help lower income americans, many essential workers, people of color and women. President biden included a way to increase in his American Rescue plan. The measure has run into resistance including senator joe manchin who wants a smaller increase and others say raising it during a pandemic is not the right time. Democrats work to fast track some of the other parts of the package. Does it have to be an either or. Does it have to be the case that jobs are lost for sure . The economic theory is when you raise the wage it costs businesses more to make the product theyre doing or the service and they pass that onto the consumer and that cuts demand. But there have been cases where in some cities and states where theyve raised the minimum wage in a Strong Economy and jobs go up and wages go up. So im watching these states and localities state by state because theyve been doing it without really any negative impact in some cases. Thats why its worth digging into it. Yes.

Wrights office said the congressman was admitted to Baylor Hospital after contracting the virus on january 21st. His wife susan who was also hospitalized with covid was by his side when he died. He was battling cancer. President biden remembered him as a fighter and vowed to beat the virus in his memory. About 15 minutes after the hour. News into cnn about the origins of the coronavirus. Our Nick Peyton Walsh monitoring what the World Health Organization and chinese officials are saying right now. Nick, whats happening . Reporter interesting developments here. This is a key w. H. O. Investigation into where coronavirus came from. Now obviously the accepted story until this point by most people has been that it emerged in china from wuhan from a Seafood Market where a Super Spreader event has occurred. There are a lot of studies saying it may have emerged before that, possibly coming from bats into humans. Why is it important to find out the real source . To stop this from happening again. Weve just been listening to a key Press Conference at the end of a twoweek long mission by the w. H. O. In china finally to try to work out the answer to this question. First of all, we heard from the top chinese expert thats working with the w. H. O. On this. I paraphrase here. There are some caveats, but essentially this chinese expert said that all the studies they did of samples of cases of infl influenza, other things looking for the possibility that they missed an earlier emergence of this virus before december 2019, they say they concluded there was no substantial evidence that it began before december. Thats important because it suggests the chinese didnt drop the ball so to speak earlier. Importantly too the same chinese top official goes on to point to the qanon Seafood Market. Some of the contamination could have been from cold food chain. Not necessarily live animals. Thats important because it feeds into a broader Chinese State government narrative that weve been hearing quite a lot over the past few months. That leads china to say maybe it wasnt from china, it was from outside of china. That potentially also feeds into Something Else we just heard in the Press Conference, suggestion there may have been unreported cases of sars cov 2. Thats the technical name for the novel coronavirus, could he indi covid19. They may have come from unreported regions outside of china. There has been some corroboration of some chinese preliminary findings by saying what they discovered has not substantially changed what they thought happened in china with the origins of the virus december 2019. China is essentially pushing out a narrative that suggests maybe it was frozen food. Maybe it came from somewhere that wasnt china and also we saw nothing, we did noga miss ahead of december 2019. All very important here because, remember, the former Trump Administration suggested in fact a Laboratory Leak or they had no evidence to back that up. This vital question being answered here by what sounds thus far to be a pretty pro china narrative. Back to you. Let you get back to listening to that World Health Organization briefing. Thank you so much for that, nick. Social media has been a haven for misinformation, including about vaccines.

Facebook says its cracking down on claims that vaccines including covid vaccines are not effective. Thats something Ceo Mark Zuckerberg said the company would not do. Given facebooks past failures, the obvious question is whether it will be able to effectively enforce the latest restrictions. Cnns done osullivan has the latest. Reporter deja vu. Facebook announced on monday that it is going to take further action against Antivaccine Misinformation on its platform. Now this all came just a day after cnn published an investigation where it found that the company, including its platform instagram, was recommending very prominently in search antivaccine accounts. Facebook has been dealing with this issue for a very, very long time. We have seen Antivaccine Misinformation on the platform and instagram for years. So while this is a welcome move that facebook is cracking down in this way, a lot of people will rightfully be asking why just now, why are they only taking these steps more than a year into this pandemic knowing that there would be a Vaccine Rollout across this country and Around The World. While the company has made announcements like this in the past and as cnn has shown in its recent reporting, you know, Antivaccine Misinformation was all across the platform. Whether these new steps they are taking will actually work, it will remain to be seen. We, of course, will be keeping an eye on it. Christine and laura. Done, thank you for that.

This time the jurors are also the victims. The trial is at the scene of the crime. 100 senators will confront the deadly january 6th riot on their workplace and decide whether trump must answer for inciting that mob. Senators finally have a deal on the time line of the trial, but they still disagree on whether they should even hold it at all. So the first vote of the day will be on the Constitution Acoy of whether they can impeach a former president. Then there will be up to 16 hours of questioning for each side. Heres the Senate Majority leader. Following the despicable attack on january the 6th, there must, there must be truth and accountability if we are going to move forward, heal, and bring our country together once again. Sweeping something as momentous as this under the rug brings no healing whatsoever. Now a handful of republicans do agree with that, including congressman adam kinsinger. He voted to impeach President Trump in the house. Hes urging his Senate Colleagues to hold him accountable as well. He writes this isnt a waste of time. Its a matter of accountability. If the gop doesnt take a stand, the chaos of the past few months and the past four years could quickly return. The future of our party and our country depends on confronting what happened so it doesnt happen again. The president s legal team said the trial is political theater. They argue when he told the crowd to fight about 20 times he was talking in the figurative sense even though video from the rally clearly shows people taking cues directly from the former president. Overnight a sobering reminder of just who trump is accused of inciting. We learned a virginia man, a member of a right Wing Extremist Group who already faces conspiracy charges claims in a court filing he worked for the fbi and held a Top Secret Security Clearance for decades. Security at the Capitol Extra tight for this trial. The price tag for protecting the trial after the riot 483 million taxpayer dollars. President biden is leaving impeachment to the senate. He wants to keep the focus on recovering from the pandemic. Jasmine wright is live at the white house. Jasmine, we got new details late yesterday about two big components, the stimulus checks and Child Tax Credit could be huge for families. Tell us more. Reporter thats right. As the senate turns to the Impeachment Trial, they are working to markup the 1. 9 trillion coronavirus bill. House democrats on the stimulus check, they rejected a republican proposal to narrow who qualified for that 1400 payment. That proposal said singles who make 75,000, couples who may 150,000 would still get the 1400 payment. That would begin to phase out capping at singles who make 100,000 and couples who make 200,000. On that Child Tax Credit as you mentioned, laura, dems would give millions of families a Child Tax Credit for one year starting in july and that would be 3600 per child under 6 and 3,000 for a child from 6 to 7. That again starts Single Parents who make 75,000 would get that full payment and it would begin to phase out by then. Again, laura, i just want to be clear that these are just proposals and it is a long way until these things are passed if they are even passed. Fair enough. Jasmine, questions have also been raised about whether the former president should be given a privilege that other president s have, intelligence briefings. Now the security concern, of course, is that former President Trump might Say Something or eventually tweet something if he ever gets back on twitter that he shouldnt. Theres been some back and forth about this. Whats the white house saying now . Reporter well, if President Trump were not able to receive those intelligence briefings, that would be a break from tradition. As we know, it is a courtesy afforded to former president s once they leave office. President biden said in an interview on Sunday On Cbs that he didnt think trump should continue receiving it. The white house is walking that back a little bit with White House Press secretary jen psaki saying that decision ultimately is going to be left with those intelligence officials. Feel the need to walk this back. He was raising his concern about President Trump receiving access to intelligence. He has deep trust in his own Intelligence Team to make a determination about how to provide intelligence information. Thats not currently applicable, but if he should request a briefing, he leaves it to them to make a determination. Reporter now as for my colleague kaitlyn collins, if President Trump has requested a briefing jen psaki said not that she knows of. Laura . Yeah. This may never even come up if President Trump doesnt even want the briefing. They may not have to deal with this. You know, some people who even were in his own administration have cast out whether he should receive those briefings. We will have to wait and see. Jasmine, thank you. 35 minutes past the hour. Stocks hit record highs again monday. Wall street is not main street, but there is one sign average americans and places they bank are starting to benefit. Regional bank shares are soaring.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen money to operate a Rogue Nuclear program. A u. N. Program says north korea is still developing the ballistic and Nuclear Missile programs despite years of pressure from outside and from within. Will ripley joins us from hong kong. Youve reported extensively from north korea. What does all of this mean . Well, the bottom line, christine, is that the covid19 pandemic probably has had more impact on north koreas economy than 15 years of u. N. Sanctions, since 2006, because north korea has found very creative ways and illegal ways to get around the sanctions according to the new u. N. Report. They say north koreas cyber army is alive and well stealing 316 million through online hacking operations, stealing from financial institutions, stealing bitcoin, the currency thats untraceable. A lot of that cash going to develop new kinds of intercontinental ballistic missiles, Medium Range Missiles and Submarine Launch missiles. This report says that north korea has the capability to put miniaturized warheads on many of those missiles. Whats unclear is whether they have the ability to launch an Icbm Up Into Space and have it intact with the warhead intact upon reentry. Something critical for an often repeated threat from north korea. What this means is the Incoming Biden Administration could face a huge diplomatic challenge if kim jongun tests these weapons. Theyre getting help from an old partner, iran and north korea teaming up, according to the u. N. , basically sharing not only information but also supplying each other with critical missile components, christine. Will ripfully, thank you very much. Back in the u.
