kara skinnel and cnn legal analyst and former legal prosecutor elie hopig. you're been following all the ins and outs of this investigation. so what's new today? >> we over just learned today through a court file that the new york attorney general james has subpoenaed for pm and for documents donald trump jr. and ivanka trump. now, this is part of her civil investigation looking into whether the trump organization and any of its executives have ma nip late the values of its condo and golf courses and other properties. james' office had previously subpoenaed former president donald trump for his testimony. now trump's attorneys have said that they will file a motion to quash that subpoena. in this court filing today we learned that the children of donald trump ivanka and don jr. are also likely to fight this. ivanka trump before she went into the administration was a top executive at the company. donald trump jr. is still one of the top executives. now james' office had previously deposed eric trump. he is also one of the top executives at this company, but that came before james joined a criminal investigation by the manhattan district attorney's office. that is something that trump's lawyers are likely to focus on in their arguments of why these depositions should not take place. they have already sued james' office saying she is biased and trying to get a judge to stop her investigation. erika. >> interesting to see what happens with these subpoenas. elyrics as you're look at this, learning about these speech arksz now, does this tell you about anything where you are about this version anything that you should read into that. >> it tells me that james, the attorney general, is intensifying the focus and broad anything the scope of her civil investigation. separately there's a criminal investigation being run by the district attorney with james as we will looking at potential criminal violations and there's important differences there. up, it's way harder to prove a criminal case, the burden of proof in a criminal says is beyond a reasonable doubt and just a preponderance which means 50.01% and, two, of course, the penalties are very different. criminal cases, people can go to jail. civil cases, we're talking about monetary penalties. two different tracks, this is on the civil side. >> and when you look at these subpoenas, again, on the civil side as you point out, based on what we've seen from other members of the trump family, what we're waiting to hear from the former president, what do you anticipate will happen with these subpoenas? >> so there are three really potential approaches or responses to a subpoena like this. one is you can comply and testify. people often do that and two is people in this position can take the fifth amendment. each though we're in the civil context, any person who believes their testimony or statement might be used against them in some future criminal proceedings has the right to take the first and it austin powers the road that we're going down is they may move to quash the subpoena which is a legal move saying i want to block this subpoena and it's improper and inappropriate and they would argue the same thing that donald trump has said that this is politically motivated and inappropriate. >> we have the civil investigation. there is a criminal investigation which the new york a.j. jumped on to join, i should say. you recently spoke with the new district attorney other in manhattan who told you he was going to personally focus on this investigation. again, the d.a.'s investigation was criminal, possibly even expanded. how does that relate, if at all, to what we're seeing today? >> well, alvin bragg, the new d.a., was sworn into office on january 1st and up until now he's not had any briefings of substance on the investigation, so one of the first things that he'll do is get a briefing from the senior staff, understand where they are in the criminal investigation, what avenues there are. he's already asked one of the top prosecutors on the case, a top supervisor has decided to stay on because they did indict the trump organization and the cfo this summer. but he said he'll evaluate the facts and look to see where this investigation is, and he said he would treat it like he would any other investigation, even though it is of such consequence because it's a former president and ask and be guided by the question, you know, would they bring this case if it wasn't trump and would they bring the case otherwise and that's what he'll use to help guide his decision-making? >> great to have your insight and expertise on this breaking news. thank you. thursday will mark the one-year anniversary of the capitol insurrection, an attack that upended america's peaceful transfer of power and sent shock waves through the political system and they are still being felt. a year later, there is still not a full accounting of what then president trump was doing at that attack played out. the house select committee investigating january 6th however says a detailed picture is emerging. >> the committee has firsthand testimony now that he was sitting in the dining room next to the oval office watching the attack on television. we have firsthand testimony that his daughter ivapga went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence. >> we have significant testimony that leads us to believe that the white house had been told to do something. >> a source tells cnn the committee has spoken to a collection of people with firsthand knowledge of trump's actions during the riot. cnn chief congressional correspondent manu raju joins us live from the capitol. manu, president biden, all of washington, preparing to mark the one-year anniversary of that dark day as we're learning more about what this committee is learning. what can we expect this week? >> we expect a lot of bipartisan moments and a lot of very partisan moments in the aftermath of january 6th and on the day of this january 6th, the one-year anniversary. on the bipartisan said there's expected to be a prayer vigil that will occur on the east center steps of the capitol. who attends remains to be seen. there will be a lot of testimonials and speeches about the impact that this had on different members of congress. can probably hear some democrats and republicans alifngt we'll hear a lot from kevin mccarthy who attacked democrats for not doing more to prepare the capitol for the insurrection on that day. expect more that have republican line of argument. expect democrats pointing out donald trump's role in all of this and argue about how republicans, even in the aftermath of what happened on the capitol, the deadly insurrection, voted to overturn the electoral results in two states, and also expect in the senate side, chuck schumer, the majority leader, planning to use january 6th as an a argument to move forward with the democrats overhaul of the nation's investigate and electoral laws saying this is a perfect reap to push back on the big reason that the election was stolen from donald trump and that joe biden was somehow an illegitimate president, that they should pass a large-scale bill that republicans call a federal takeover of the elections and democrats are planning to push forward to try to change the senate filibuster rules in order to pass the message to go for a. nevertheless, expects a lot of discussion and argument but not a lot of agreement as they programle with this two-year anniversary. >> joining me is president trump's first impeachment attorney normalizen and the podcast host joe walsh. we heard more from the house select commit and talking specifically about firsthand testimony of people who begged with the former president to act as the capitol was being attacked, and we keep hearing over and over again about this 187 minutes of silence as they say saying that they believe it shows a dereliction of duty. the question is would that show any sort of criminal action or inaction? >> erica thanks for having me back. i do think that the evidence that's unfolding is relevant to former president trump's potential criminal liability. think about it. he swore an oath to defend the government and then he allegedly, we're still unfolding the facts, allegedly stood by for over three hours after inciting that same crowd to attack the capital and it appears they did nothing. that comes into criminal statutes like 1815 c-12, whereby his failure to act the congress count of the electoral votes was obstructed through violence, so, yes, there is potential criminal exposure and the committee has said they are considering criminal referrals so that could open a very new chapter of this investigation. >> really quickly before we leave this point. you actually say there's sort of a connection, right, between that 117 minutes and the gap in time on the watergate tapes. >> well, you'll remember that famous 18.5-minute gap, rosemarie woods, the former president nixon's secretary, became a central issue, whether that was part of the obstruction of justice there, whether that was an interference with the watergate investigation, and here we have the 187 minutes, and erica, it's so, so important because we're just getting the facts out and what the committee is going to do with its hearings and then its interim report is just make this case, not just the prosecutor's potentially but to the american people. >> it would be interesting to see how that is received, right? donald trump is set to speak on the anniversary, on january 6th. a recent cbs poll found 62% of americans expect violence over the outcome of future presidential elections. you took some heat in 2016 just before that election when you suggested that people grab their musket if donald trump lost. you later said you weren't suggesting if people take up arms if hillary clinton won but the reality is a year ago people did take up arms in this country and when we look at those numbers that 62% of americans now expect more violence, i wonder congressman, do you see a way back from this? >> no, erica, sadly, no, and none of this is surprising because here's the reality as 2022 begins. we have two major political parties. the entire voting base of one of those major political parties is completely radicalized, eric a. i mean, completely radicalized. they no longer believe in basic truths. it used to be, erica, and i engage with these folks every day, it used to be that they would say about january 6th, it was no big deal. they don't say that anymore. now there's almost a badge of honor. january 6th to the base of the republican party is almost a patriotic event, and i've got to say one more thing, erica, it scares the hell out of me that the rest of the country doesn't understand this. this is really scary. >> why do you think people don't understand it? >> because it's almost, erica, too impossible to believe. i mean, think about it, a former president of the united states as norm said sat on his ass for 187 minutes and doesn't do anything while our capitol was attacked. why didn't donald trump do anything? because, erica, he wanted that to happen. he smiled. he loved it, but like you -- the american people don't want to believe that. one of our presidents rejoiced in an insurrection. well, that's the scary truth, and he is still the leader of the republican party. >> real quickly, do you think that public, as norm pointed out, that public hearings we're told are coming. there's been a push for incremental reports even. do you think any of that would change any of those minds of the people who are okay with this, who as you point out, right, they are good? it won't? >> yeah. sadly, erica, hell no. anything the january 6th committee puts out will not change one mind among the republican party base. they are a cult, but it ought to wake the rest of us up. >> well, one would hope so, but as we look at this, we also know the messaging, norm, at this point that we're hearinging right, house minority leader mccarthy putting out a lefter saying, you know, the focus needs to be on 202, as the republicans maintain and points out in his letter that january 6th was in his view a result of security failures writing specifically that the question of how the capitol was left so unprepared and when must be done to ensure it never happens again in his view isn't being addressed, that instead the committee is a partisan political weapon to further divide the country. i mean, i feel like we ask this question all the time. is there anything you can say or do to get through to people who are determined to stay in this lane, determined to embrace the big lie, criminal charges? i mean, people are in jail. it doesn't seem to be having an effect either? >> well, erica several points p.first, contrary to the minority leader, that is bipartisan committee with the vice chair liz cheney and representative adam kinzinger very active, and i think it has credibility. number two, and this is a hopeful note in the polls that came in, including over the weekend, 40% of republicans do support the committee getting to the truth and fully two-thirds of americans, so those are very important numbers that the committee can build on with these hearings and its interim report that i think are helpful in perhaps stopping the bleeding and maybe even reversing a little bit and then finally i -- i would really make the point that the -- that the committee has taken account. representative schiff, for example, said they are going to look at the intelligence failures leading up to what happened land do a full spectrum review so it's not accurate that that's not being looked at. i do think that there is some hope to stop additional americans from going over to the dark side, and it's early days yet. they have only begun the first -- well into the first phase of the investigation and hearings not report can have really beneficial effects on the americans who have open minds hand maybe even reopen the minds of a few of those whose minds are currently closed. >> we will be watching. norm eisen, joe walsh, appreciate you both joining us today. thank you. >> thanks, erica. back to school in the midst of a massive surge. how districts across the country are grappling with an explosion in covid cases. plus, president biden's new warning to moscow. what he says the u.s. is prepared to do if russia invades ukraine. and five strikes and you're out. why twitter has now decided to finally ban one of congresswoman's emgroene's twitter accounts. t-mobile will pay for it.nd t-mobile is bringing it all together for the holidays. upgrade to the iphone 13 pro on us. plus get a free year of apple tv plus. only at t-mobile. >> vo: my car is my after-work decompression zone. ♪ music ♪ >> vo: so when my windshield broke... i found the experts at safelite autoglass. they have exclusive technology and service i can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need?

cnn medical correspondent elizabeth cohen joins us now. let start with the boosters because this is something that a lot of parents have been waiting for. children now as young as 12 eligible for a booster. what more do we know? >> right, so we know that they have changed the dates, so it used to be you have to wait six months to get a booster. they are telling in this case for children 12 to 15 just wait five months, so let's take a look at what this means to parent who have children in this age group. so they are saying at least five months after a child second shot, ages 5 through 12, go ahead and get a beaufort. that means about 5 million -- i'm sorry, 12 to 15-year-olds are eligible right now as we speak. now, those numbers are important and it's great that those 5 million can now go get their booster, but there's one number, erica, that i really think we need to focus on which is there. 39% of children ages 12 to 15 have not even gotten the first shot, have not gotten even one shot of the covid-19 vaccine, so while the booster is important, that's what they call the primary series, the first two shots, that's even more important so we need to figure out ways to convince those parents children have been eligible that age to get a vaccine since may, so, you know, they have had plenty of time to do it. 39% have not done it. erica? >> we'll watch and hopefully that number will change a little bit. ecohen thank you. taking a look now at schools, back to school today for millions of kids across the country, but not all in person. some districts opening remotely or delaying their return to school. a lot of kids back in the class root i know two from my house back in the class root athena jones joining us here in new york. kids are going back to school committee i was at the school in the bronx this rpg mom the mayor is really clear where he stands on this, athena. >> you're right. very, very clear. we've heard mayor eric adams. a lot of things he likes to say over and over again. one of them is that schools are the safest places for students to be. he continued to press that this morning at the elementary school in the bronx. here's some of what he had to say there. >> i'm going to tell you what's going to happen day to day. we are staying open. we're going to do everything that we have to do to keep our schools owe, and i know there's questions about staffing. i know there's questions about testing. there's a lot of questions, but we're going to turn those question marks into an exclamation point. we're staying open. we're going to make sure our chirp are in safe spaces. >> and, of course, the mayor has pointed to the many drawbacks of children not being in school. one of them is being exposed to an environment of crime. another is kids missing meals. a lot of kids rely on schools to get their meals. the challenges for parents without child care and, of course, remote learning leaving a lot of kids behind, especially kids in poorer community and housing insecure so the commitment to keeping calls is open is there but there's no doubt that this is going to be a huge challenge and the mayor's most prosing and immediate challenge. this is the nation's most largest school district but they have a testing system in place and a system for staffing, a pool of employees, waiting and standing by to stand in if that's necessary, and the question is will that work? >> everyone watching. joining us now, dr. william schaffner, professor of infectious diseases at vanderbilt university. great to see you today. as you look at schools they have been very colleagues, here in new york city mayor says kids are going back and he believes that is the safest place for them to be. he said, look, last year transmission rate was less than 1% in schools. he says in homes it was 15%, and he believes that's another reason why it's safer in schools. they have also added a lot more testing. is in-person learning the right approach in january of 2022? >> well, erica, i don't know a single educator who does not want to send chirp back to school for all the reasons that you have just mentioned. it's then our responsibility to make that school environment as the mayor has said absolutely as safe as to be is to make sure that all the children attending the school can be vaccinated. that's where we really need to put the emphasis and all the adults should themselves, and if other interventions are taking, masking appropriately where there's a lot of spread and good hand hygiene, yes, there's a lot of ventilation as possible, and i know it's cold out there, all of those things taken together, i think schools can be at very, very low risk >> you talk about the importance of vaccinations, boosters as well are really a focus that have conversation, as elizabeth just pointed out for us, 39% of kids who are eligible still haven't gotten that first shot. when you look at a booster for 12 to 15-year-old, how much of a difference do you think that that will make? >> well, the boosters have been shown certainly to provide more secure protection against omicron, and by secure protection i mean protection against serious illness that requires hospitalization. you can still get a minor infection akin to a bad cold, but it keeps you out of the hospital. so now that boosters are available for those 12 and up, i would hope that parents quickly take advantage of that. we have plenty of vaccine in the refrigerator, but vaccine does not prevent disease. vaccination prevents disease. it's got to move from those refrigerators into arms and that's what we need to focus on, children and then, of course, we have adult neighbors who haven't got enl their vaccination. >> come on income the water is fine. there's a lot of focus early on, you and i talked about it a number of times, that a lot of people would say it's not as severe for kids. we know that kids, perhaps less often than adults, but kids can get severely ill. we've been looking at the hospitalization rates for kids tick up here. we've also heard specifically about omicron and more from the former commissioner dr. scott gotlieb. >> it's more of an upper airway group and that's good for most americans but toddlers have trouble with upper airway infections. >> toddlers, of course, children under 5 and eligible for a vaccine yet. do you agree with his assessment, and if so how concerning is that? >> well, dr. gotlieb makes an interesting point. i haven't seen an increased risk in toddlers yet, thank goodness, and my fingers are crossed, but way to protect the toddlers is to have all the adults and all the older children vaccinated, of course. you create a cocoon of protection around them so the virus has a hard time finding them. that's the way to do that, and we still have a lot of work to do in this country to get everybody else vaccinated. >> one last question before i let you go. i note messaging can be confusing. the science is changing. that's part of it, but we heard from dr. fauci, that you know, we could be hearing yet more recommendations, specifically that americans test negative before returning to work right after a test, not just for the shortened protocol but adding that testing. do you believe that that's the right call? >> well, would i say it would be a helpful call, but i have some cautions. first, we're already stressed for testing resources, right, so that will be an issue very practically, and each test, both the pcr test, the very serious gold standard test and the rapid test have their limitations. we need to understand them, interpret them clearly as we go forward and use them more widely. >> dr. william, always appreciate your insight. thanks for joining us today. >> my pleasure. >> well, for folks maybe trying to get home still from their perhaps now extended holiday, thousand of flight cancellations to tell you about again, and that's a double whammy for airlines. first, they are dealing with staff shortages due to some covid issues as you've been hearing about but now there's major winter weather issues stretching from georgia all the way on up into new england. both of those joining together to leave passengers in the lurch. pete muntean is joining us from reagan national airport. this is a rough day, as we know. lots of cancellations, and it's not just the airports where the flights are being cancelled, right, where we may think about the winter weather that's the issue. there's a major ripple effect here. >> huge ripple effect, eric a. 70% of all flight have been cancelled here at reagan national airport alow. the most cancellations of any airport nation weed but now the faa is instituting a ground stop for flights come here also to nearby bwi where will half of all nights have been cancelled there. look at the numbers. 2,600 cancellations across the country today alone. about 13% of southwest's schedule, 13% of the schedule at sky west which operates commuter flights for delta american and unit, an important connection also and also 10% of the schedule at jetblue which operates up and down the east coast. airports are trying to clear snowy runways and taxiways and ramps as quickly as they possibly can, but there's already six or eight inches of snow on the ground and it only stopped snowing a bit ago and airports are trying it get the message to passengers and airlines to passengers before they show up here that their flight could possibly be cancelled. >> it's a tough situation right now. when it's winter it's especially hard because that can happen last minute. with the covid cancellations at the very least a lot of those are happening a day in advance, sometimes sooner but usually with enough time that you can try and figure things out, you know, before you're heading to the airport. >> talked about that one-two punch, erica, united airlines says half of all of its cancellations are because of flight crew shortages and half of them because of the weather. we've seen about 18,000 cancellations in total going all the way back to christmas eve. about 5,000 over the weekend. no sign of stopping any time soon just yet though, erica. >> that is rough. pete monthan, appreciate it. president biden sending a new warning to russia president vladimir putin. we'll have that next. idaho pota. but it's not like that's my only interest. i also love cooking with heart-healthy, idaho potatoes. always look for the grown in idaho seal. kim is now demonstrating her congestion. save it slimeball. i've upgraded to mucinex. we still have 12 hours to australia. mucinex lasts 12 hours, so i'm good. now move! kim, no! mucinex lasts 3x longer for 12 hours. we're carvana, the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100% online. now we've created a brand-new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old. we wanna buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate answer a few questions. and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds. when you're ready, we'll come to you, pay you on the spot and pick up your car, that's it. so ditch the old way of selling your car, and say hello to the new way at carvana. your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire . a pledge to ukraine, a warning to russia. president biden makes his position clear. the u.s. and it allies will respond devise i recall if russia further invades ukraine. cnn chief national affairs correspondent jeff zeleny joining us now. jeff, house intelligence committee chair democratic congressman adam schiff says he fears that president putin is likely to invade unless the white house issues enormous sanctions, so what is the white house prepared to do to russia if in fact there is an invasion of ukraine? >> well, erica president biden has said there will be severe sanctions. in fact, he said that after a telephone call yesterday with the ukrainian president and he that's made clear that the u.s. will act decisively. now it's not exactly clear what those sanctions would be. of course, there have been sanctions, many sanctions against a russia in the past against the energy sector and business sectors, but clearly the u.s. has made clear that if there's any type of move by those russian troops, there are about 100,000 of so of them amassed at the ukraine board their there will be action. the u.s. has had repeated phone calls. president biden had, you know, throughout end of last year with european allies all in lock step on this, but this is going to be a major flashpoint, a major challenge head nothing this new year for the biden administration. starting next week there are going to be a round of talks in geneva, switzerland between the u.s. and russia, officials as well all aimed at nato. russia wants to avoid any expansion of nato in the region. with everything else on this administration's plate, russia remains a challenge here. the president sadie is veer sanctions and left it at that. we don't know specifically what that would mean. >> jeff zeleny, appreciate it. thank you. >> sure. an honor given to new statesman. former senate majority leader harry reid will lie in state in the u.s. capitol rotunda on january 12th according to a joint statement from house speaker nancy pelosi and senate majority leader chuck schumer. reid capped off his political career as leader of the senate. reid died last week at the age of 28 from pancreatic cancer. still to come, twitter finally suspends, one, one of congresswoman's marjorie taylor greene's twitter accounts. one of two, that's next. ♪ three times the electorlytes and half the sugar. ♪ pedialyte powder packs. feel better fast. ray loves vacations. but his diabetes never seemed to take one. everything felt like a 'no'. everything. but then ray went from no to know. with freestyle libre 2, now he knows his glucose levels when he needs to. and... when he wants to. so ray... can be ray. take the mystery out of your glucose levels, and lower your a1c. now you know. try it for free. visit freestylelibre.us announcer: tired of pain radiating down your leg and lower back?

>> yeah. it was a misleading graph that greene posted purporting to show data linking the vaccine to deaths. look, twitter has a strike system where they allow politicians to spout a certain amount of bs, whether it be about the election or whether it be about covid, and greene has repeatedly violated those policies and that's why twitter took this decision, they say. important to point out that they didn't should -- did shut down her personal account which is the one she uses the most but she still has access to her congressional account with about 300,000 followers so it's not a total shutdown. >> does twitter not understand the way baseball works, three strikes and you're out, not five? why is it five? >> i think these companies, you know, right now, greene is saying that twitter is an enemy of america and is censoring her. i mean, these companies really do not want to take this sort action, right? they want people to be able too use their platform, so, you know, i think twitter in the past has also made the point that they don't think really it's right that they should be able to shut down the account of an elected official on a whim. they think that speech twitter, howing how longly or dangerous it might be, that people should be allowed to make those points and be held accountable for it, but, of course, in this case it got to the point, much like last year when we saw what former president trump, that these companies, in this case twitter, felt like they had to act. >> there we go. good to see you, my friend. >> thanks, erica. still ahead, new comments from the head coach of the tampa bay buccaneers after antonio brown decided to quit mid-game walking off the field after throwing his shirt. full prescription-strength?

>> yeah a lot of people concerned about antonio brown's mental health right now. considering what happened yesterday. and there was some sort of disagreement on the sidelines that sparked all of this. head coach bruce arians said today that he was not aware of any injury that brown had and brown did not voice that he was hurt and according to multiple reports, the coaching staff asked brown to go back into the game multiple times. he refused to they sttold him t leave and he threw his shirt and gloves into the crowd before waving to the fans and heading to the tunnel and today head coach bruce arians said it is pretty tough how all of this went down. >> i wish him well. i hope if he needs help, gets some. and but i -- it is very hard. because i do care about him. >> now brady is the reason that brown joined the bucs. after yesterday's game brady sounds concerned about his friend. >> i think everybody should find hopefully do what they can to help him in ways that he really needs it. and we all love him, we care about him deeply. you know, we want to see him be at his best and unfortunately it won't be with our team. the most important thing about football are the relationships with friends and teammates and they go beyond the field and, you know, i think everyone should be very compassionate and empathetic toward some very difficult things that are happening. >> now brown did not fly home with the team but he's posted on instagram multiple times since the game, one of the posts saying thanks for the opportunity. and it is very, very turbulent few year for brown. his time in pittsburgh ended with him throwing a ball at a teammate and then traded to the raiders and after barely participating in training camp, he asked for his release and he got it. the patriots then signed him but he lasted just one game there after he was accused by his ex trainer of sexual assault. new england released him two weeks later. and this january of 2020, brown was charged with felony burglar and two misdemeanors for an incident with a moving truck company. he pleaded no contest and did not receive jail time. he was suspended for eight games, but in october he got another chance with the bucs and he played well, helped them win a superbowl. but this season he was suspended three games for misrepresenting his status and this was already considered brown's last chance. so after what he did, leaving his team on field like that, it is hard to imagine another team is going to take a chance on him. >> it is interesting, really quickly, i have about ten se seconds, have we heard anything from roger goodell. >> no. >> "cnn newsroom" continues with alisyn camerota and victor blackwell after this quick break. could use some help showing the world how liberty mutual customizes their car insurance so they only pay for what they need.
