of an election, pressuring election officials to change election results, that, of course, is a crime. this state prosecutor's office in fulton county, georgia, opened that investigation under georgia state law, pressuring or intimidating election officials is a georgia state crime. it's a crime in, everych state the tacountry, and, of course, it's also a federal crime. but while u.s. attorney general merrick garland has made sort of vague patriotic statements about no one being above the law and t federal prosecutors following the evidence wherever it leads, so far there is no evidence that federal prosecutors are investigating that call or any other reported instances of pressure that the president personally put on georgia election officials about the conduct of their official duties.re so far the only known criminal investigation into his efforts to falsify the election results anywhere in the country, the aty only known criminal investigation is that georgia e state investigation, and as of tonight, again, we can report that that investigation has now proceeded to the point where president trump's lawyers have started meeting in person with staff from the fulton county prosecutor's office. we will have more on that breaking news in just a moment. both in terms of what effect this appears to be having on the former president and in terms of how we should understand the status of that case, its seriousness and how far it has progressed, given that those in-person meetings have started. but, of course, this new news arrives at a time when the news gods are shaking the trees and a whole bunch of new stuff is , falling out along these lines. you may remember right before christmas we reported here on al this show on these documents. documents that were forged by trump-supporting republicans in the great state of wisconsin after the presidential election there. on december 14th, after the 2020 election, that's the day that every stateti was supposed to formally assign their electors for the electoral college. wisconsin and every state in the country. the way that works is simple. in states that biden won, those states formally name their biden electors and say that those will be the state's official electors and states that trump won, those states say these are formally their trump electors and those are the electors from this state.ecanteidstst that happened in little sort of low-key, but official ceremonies all over the country in every state capitol in the united states on december 14th, 2020. but in wisconsin, as the neke official electors were meeting that day in the state capitol, and this is footage of the official electors meeting, we know, thanks to reporting from d the journal sentinel, the "milwaukee journal sentinel," a group of republicans decided j they, too, would meet secretly elsewhere in the wisconsin state capitol.ep they didn't tell anybody about their plans. they didn't invite the press or any observers from the public.r the "milwaukee journal sentinal" sussed out what they were doing. we learned in addition to meeting to describe themselves as the electors from the state of wisconsin, even though they weren't, we subsequently learned this group of republican in a state that biden won, they put pen to paper. they not only declared that day that they were the real electorg and they were electors for trump. they actually drew up forged documents in which they tried to impersonate real electors. they purported to be the actual electors from the state of wisconsin.re and they apparently sent them into the national archives and to the congress as if they were the real electors. so we reported on that last month just before christmas, ane on the still live question in wisconsin as to whether or not any of those ten republicans who signed their names to those forged documents, whether they e could actually be prosecuted for forgery for having signed their names to this document, impersonating real electors. it's still an open question in wisconsin, before the state election board, potentially hi before the milwaukee county district attorney. so that's what we reported righ before christmas in wisconsin. but now look at this. "politico" reporter nicholas wu had the idea to file public record requests inu multiple states asking to see what officials in the states handed over to the january 6th investigation. now, if you think about this from an investigative point of view, this makes sense, right? we know that the january 6th investigation is looking at what happened in washington, the lead up to the attack on the capitol on january 6th. we know that part of what they are looking at is what happened in the states, right? there is a three-part effort toa overturn the election. in the states, gin up false claims of fraud and have false electors apparently declare themselves as trump's electors even in states that biden won. then the effort in the justice department to give credibility to the false election fraud claims and to pressure republican-led state legislatures in those states they shouldn't send the real electors. then the third part of the plan to overthrow the election happened in washington, the pressure on vice president mike pence to not count the real electors and instead count the false electors that these states were going to send or not count electors from those states at all. that's what the mob attack on the capitol was about on january 6th, to pressure mike pence into playing his role in that three-part effort to overturn pi the election results, to falsify the election results and keep trump in power. now, the january 6th investigation, we know from public reporting, has been going to some of the states where this plan was effectuated and asking those officials for documents and testimony. if you want to know what's happening in that part of the investigation, how do you figure it out? we know from experience if you foia the january 6th investigation to find out what they've got,io what they have bn able to learn from those investigations with the various states, you will get bupkis, you will get nothing. but nicholas wu turned it around and filed the state equivalent of foias. he filed state public records requests with state government officials in all the relevant states asking them what they had handed over to the january 6th investigation. and under state freedom of information laws, state public records laws, bingo.nttaalst nicholas wu at "politico" has been able to find this new avenue into unearthing what the committee is seeing. and what he has turned up, at least as of yet, includes this. look at these documents here. turns out it wasn't just in wisconsin. on the left side of your screen these are the similar forged documents from republicans in michigan purporting to be the electors from the state of t ef michigan, casting their votes for trump, even though michigan voted for biden. on the right side of your screen these are newly unearthed forged documents from republicans in vo arizona, again purporting to be the real electors from the state of arizona, casting their votes for trump, even though in reality trump lost arizona and biden won. now, in both instances, just like the documents we dug up in wisconsin, in both instances these really are forgeries.he if you're a state that trump lost and biden won, the electors from your state are electors for biden. but nevertheless, in both instances, here is republicans r in michigan and arizona pretending to be their state's c electors, pretending to be electors for trump. and i can tell you, i mean, based on our previous reporting about what republicans did with these forgeries in wisconsin, in michigan it looks exactly the or same. in these michigan documents it looks exactly like the forgery we previously reported on from wisconsin except it's 16 electoral votes than ten and the names are different. other than that, it's word for word, formatting, fonts, to the president of the united states senate and the archivist pursuant to 3 u.s. code sectionn 11, please find michigan's electoral votes for president we, the undersigned, being the duly elected and qualified electors -- no, you're not -- for president and vice president of the united states of america and the state of michigan do hereby certify the following. we convened and organized in the city of lansing and performed the duties and joined upon us being so assembled and duly organized proceeded to vote by ballot for president trump 16 votes, vice president pence 16 votes. they are purporting to be the duly elected electors of the state of michigan. they are not. and then these 16 republicans ze from michigan all signed their d name to this forgery as if they really are the michigan electors and these are the official results of the election, a forged document purporting to represent the election results in that state. again, that's michigan. again, it looks exactly like the document from wisconsin. in arizona, interestingly, the formatting is different there. and the "arizona republic" reported at the time that this had happened, that republicans in arizona were trying to do something like this, but as far as you i know we have never seen the forged documents themselves before now.rona but thanks to nicholas wu's reporting at "politico," here it is. page one the state seal of the state of arizona and it repeats throughout the document. the thing has a notary stamp on it. each of the signatures is notarized. but it's headlined the seating and voting of electors for the general election for 2020, the electors documents amend the previously submitted documents. whatever you've gotten before, these are the real ones.ub and you see the headline under the actual state seal from arizona, the certificate of ascertainment of the electors. and then all the rest of the pages are each of those 11 republicans purporting to be electors, each of them one by ic one solemnly attesting an signing their names to that document that says they are the real presidential electors from arizona and cast their electoral college votes for donald trump each one individually signed and notarized under the official seal of the great state of arizona. these documents are forgeries. these people are not the real electors. both in michigan and in arizona, just like we saw in wisconsin.ue the real electors in all these states were biden and harris ee lengths because biden and harris won those states. at least these three states that biden won we can see the forgeries that republicans tried to pass off as real electoral certifications. so their fake votes could t somehow be counted in the electoral college instead of the real ones. and again crucially this was not just playacting. they were not apparently just drawing these things up to have like, a little bureaucratic christmas pageant in 2020 where they could pretend trump won and wouldn't that be fun to dress ut and agent it out? they sent these forged documents into the government. purporting to be real. they sent them to the congress, to the national archives. nicholas reports at politico.cot part of the reason we know is that the national archives last december forwarded the arizona forgeries to the secretary of state in arizona, quote, for orh your awareness. national archives making clear they were not planning to act on these forged documents, but the secretary of state should know they exist. the secretary of state of arizona, katy hopps, responded at least in part by sending a cease and desist letter to the republican fake electors telling them they at least really truly needed to stop using the official state seal. now, interestingly, we don't know what ultimately became of the forged documents drawn up by the republicans in michigan. we don't know of any response to them, for example, from the oc national archives. we also don't know if they are facing calls for their prosecution the way their neighboring republicans are in wisconsin right next door where they tried the exact same stunt, apparently using the exact same language, font, and formatting. how can these forged documents look exactly the same between your two states? somebody was organizing the effort among republicans in multiple states to send in false slates of electors as if they were real?e as because now we've got ahold of the forged documents they created in not one, not two, but three different states. who believes we will find more where this came from? raise your hand.oce two republican sitting members of congress have now said or signaled pretty intensely that they will not comply with p requests for information and testimony from the january 6th investigation. republican pennsylvania congressman scott perry was the first. now this weekend ohio iofi congressman jim jordan has also indicated that he probably comply, although, he stopped short of exexplicitly saying so. "washington post" reports today that alabama republican congressman mo brooks may find himself on the receiving end of a request from the january 6th investigation.re congressman mo brooks put on a bulletproof vest and a hunting hat on january 6th and told the crowd that day, today is the day american patriots start taking down names and kicking ass. he said online that day as the pro-trump mob streamed toward the capitol, the fight for america's republic is on.he bam! the fight for america's republican is on. he said that as the crowd streamed towards the u.s. capitol. when they actually started breaking into the building, congressman brooks tweeted, doors locked, capitol complex breached, chamber door is locked, speaker leaves.th a former staffer to republican house leader kevin mccarthy toli jake tapper in an interview at k cnn last week congressman mo brooks was laughing and cheering on the mob from inside the house as they broke in and started rampaging through the halls of congress. congressman brooks' office denied that account. reporter michael cranish at "the washington post" says that the january 6th investigation is now weighing whether they will seek testimony from congressmang brooks as well as congressman perry and congressman jordan, although whether or not they will put in a request to congressman mo brooks, who knows how they will deal with these republican members of congress saying they won't testify. members of congress, there is no precedent for subpoenaing them for trying to make it compulsory that they comply.rr eyh s congressman brooks was in federal court today in washington acting as his own lawyer, which is always a bad idea.ic he is acting as his own lawyer in the civil lawsuits, some of the civil lawsuits that have been brought to try to hold him accountable alongside president trump and others for their behavior leading up to and on january 6th.vehe this was a long federal court hearing in washington, d.c., that addressed three of those civil lawsuits today. it was specifically on the question of whether or not congressman mo brooks and president trump and potentially others could be considered immune from liability because whatever they did in conjunction with the events of january 6th, they did it in their official capacity as elected officials, and so, therefore, they can't be sued for it.ec that is a real consideration under federal law, and it's an open question now beingth considered by this federal judge in washington. that said, i don't mean indicato any certainty about how the judge going to rule, and it's always sort of hard to guess these things. you sort of guess these things at your peril in advance after listening to oral arguments in any particular case. but with those caveats, reporters who monitored the hearing noted that the federal judge did not seem particularly inclined to let at least former president trump off the hook for his behavior that day. the judge saying during today's hearing, quote, what do i do about the fact the president didn't it denounce the conduct immediately? isn't that from a plausibility standpoint enough to infer that the president agreed with the conduct of the people inside the capitol that day? he said, quote, these words -- excuse me. these words are hard to walk back. you have an almost two-hour window where the president does not say, stop, get out of the capitol, this is not what i wanted you to do. the judge also said today, quote, if my words had been misconstrued and they lead to violence, wouldn't somebody, wouldn't the reasonable person just come out and say, wait a second, stop? again, those comments today in open court from the judge holding this hearing on whether or not trump and congress mo brooks and others may be immune from being sued. it led a lot of observers to believe the immunity from lawsuit argument may not go far. we'll see. we will see if the former president may be subject to civil lawsuits about his role in the events of january 6th. the court today was considering three of the civil lawsuits that have been filed against him over his behavior on january 6th, but that isn't all of them. cbro there are at least nine lawsuits like this against him that we know of. so we shall see. in terms of his criminal liability, though, the only investigation we know of is this one in georgia. the district attorney in fulton county is investigating trump's efforts to pressure elections officials over their administration of the election and the conduct of the count. and, again, repeating our breaking news from the top of the hour, we can report tonight that in that ongoing criminal st investigation, former president donald trump's attorneys have started meeting in person with that prosecutor's office.ig and, in fact, here's one more piece of it. you might remember in december, in mid-december, sort of apparently apropos of nothing, former president donald trump mi put out a statement that are often hyperbolic, can seem a little bit unhinged, but this one was, again, seemingly apropos of nothing, and it was about prosecutors and investigators, and even though his statements seem unhinged, this seemed particularly unhinged for him. you will remember this. it is from december 18th. he said, quote, all the democrats want to do is put people in jail. they are vicious, violent, and radical left thugs.edyo they are destroying people's lives, which is the only thing they are good at. their d.a.s, attorney generals, and democratic law enforcement are out of control.of again, their d.a.s, a.g.s, and democratic law enforcement are out of control. this is what happens in communist countries and dictatorships.wh the people of our country won't stand for it. that was december 18th from trump. whoa, girl, calm down. easy now.orfo easy. district attorneys and attorney generals and law enforcement. oh, my, they are ruining lives and it's communistic -- what's going on? we can report tonight that that seemingly sort of unhinged a statement from trump decrying democratic law enforcement, that statement happened within days of trump's attorneys having their previously unreported in-person meeting with the ha prosecutors in fulton county, georgia, who are investigating mr. trump criminally for his alleged actions to pressure election officials in that state. w that statement, again, within days of that previously unreported meeting by his attorneys in person with the fulton county prosecute's p office. oh, maybe that's what he was so upset about. joining us now is gwen keys fleming, someone who has known fulton county district attorney for years.t. she is the district attorney to dekalb county. thank you for being here. >> absolutely.s. thank you for having me. >> so we're reporting this news, i believe for the first time. i'll stand corrected if it turns out anybody else has reported it. we think this may be the first time this news has been publicly reported. can you tell us from the c t perspective of somebody who has been a district attorney in georgia, if there is anything at all that we should read into or we should see this as a signifier for in terms of the state of the investigation, that the gentleman at the center of the investigation, his attorneys are meeting in person with the prosecutor's office? >> well, i think it signals that things are moving along. i think the fact that defense counsel met with the e prosecutors, that, in and of itself, is not remarkable. that happens all the time in georgia, even before charges are filed, particularly in high-profile cases where there may be speculation. i think what's interesting is the statements that we heard after that meeting, like you said, that didn't appear to be context beforehand. now, as you look at that full picture and all of the pieces and facts are coming together, it gives you a new light. and let me say, first of all, i had the pleasure of serving with elected district attorney to a republican, elected district attorneys who are democratic, a and the one thing that is common among all of them is not ever can i ever point to a time where any of us made a decision to either prosecute or dismiss a case based on our political affiliation or that of the person that we were investigating.io so the statements assigning a certain intention to democrats versus republicans is just patently false. that does not happen. that is a violation of the oath of office. and, again, i think if you step back, you can begin to put things in context, particularly if you go back in history and think about the things that the former president said back in april of 2020 and the eight months leading up to the election, where he decried a fair election. he indicated that there was rampant fraud through mail-in voting, and kept saying that the election would be rigged, and you could see how those early statements then snowballed into what became the big lie of him winning the election and joe biden losing. and so if you take that frame and apply it to these current statements, you can't help but wonder if this is the beginning of a similar playbook where he is trying to undermine and yo ofcu create doubt in the integrity of the criminal justice system just like he did the voting and elections system. tobt >> oh, i see what you mean, that this may be an effort because of what he is expecting to happen in this investigation or potentially others, he's trying to seed doubts and seed among those who listen to him and believe hum and support him, that anybody who pursues some prosecution or hurtle investigation of him is tsli motivated by partisan means and shouldn't be trusted. he is essentially trying to tilt or pre-spin what he expects to be negative outcomes from these investigations. is that what you mean? >> that's exactly right. exactly right. >> the last time that we spoke, miss fleming, a few months ago about some reporting that the district attorney's office in n fulton county was considering a impaneling a special grand jury in order to focus on this case. obviously, grand juries meet alt the time.ra grand juries consider every kind of case that a district attorney has to handle. there was reporting several months ago that the district attorney willis in fulton county was impanelling a special grand jury for this moment.to is there some sort of time line that we should be keeping in mind in terms of when decisions like that would need to happen or when you would expect them to happen in terms of the life span of this investigation? >> so let me point out, though, special grand juries are very different than regular grand juries. those are focused on criminal indictments, regular grand juries, and they turn over every two months. so a special grand jury does not produce indictments. it would produce a final report that would be critical in signaling what the citizens of fulton county, how they may be viewing the facts and evidence presented before them about this case. but in terms of timing, it would need to be specially impaneled the d.a. would need to write a moment or submit a motion to the chief judge of superior court asking for the special grand jury, and then there would be, really, i want to say, no time limit on how long it could convene. that would all be dictated by the complexity of the case. and so i have had special grand juries that were impaneled for a year because of the type of matters that we were looking ate but what that does, it gives you a continuous group of dedicated citizens reviewing your evidence, and they can look at the full picture that every fact, everyll document, every tape, every witness statement, every piece of the puzzle that paints the picture about what happened. and after reviewing all of that, they would write a report as to whether they thought there was sufficient evidence for criminal charges to be brought, and that would then give the district attorney a leg to stand on, if you would, that her case was being evaluated by the actual ct citizens and not just the folkst in her office. >> if she made a motion to the chief judge of the superior court as you said in order to impanel a special grand jury, would that be a public-facing motion, or would that be something that would be confidential. >> they're usually public-based. >> thank you very much for your expertise here. invaluable. thank you so much for your time tonight.ex >> glad to be here. thank you. much more to get to her this very busy monday night. stay with us. stay with us and there you have it. woah. wireless on the most reliable network nationwide. wow. big deal. we get unlimited for just 30 bucks. sweet, but mine has 5g

this weird hitler youth looking march in downtown philly last fourth of july weekend. hundreds of white supremacist in matching uniforms matching in philadelphia, yelling the election was stolen, the election was stolen! the only, i mean only silver lining of that story is that the people of philadelphia were having none of it. >> they started engaging with citizens of philadelphia who were none too happy about some of the things they were saying. apparently these males felt threatened and somebody in their crowd threw a type of smoke bomb to cover their retreat and they literally ran way from the people in philadelphia. >> yeah, the paramilitary white supremacist group, macho in their matching khakis and polos, they literally ran away from the people of philadelphia. i have lived in philadelphia. i love philadelphia, and, no, i'm not surprised about the talents of the people in philadelphia in moments like this. but then our goose steppers popped up again last month in washington, d.c. they got their white nationalist flag, their little homemade plastic shields and their khakis and their soccer team shin guards, and they marched in form nation down the national mall in what was supposed to be a show of neo-nazi force in our nation's capital. it's supposed to be intimidating. it is a lot of things. it's not intimidating because they are pitiful. but this neo-nazi little boys club that keeps popping up all over the place, they call themselves patriot front. their leader used to run vanguard america, the same idea with the khakis and everything. vanguard america changed its name to patriot front after a member made the murderous decision to drive his car into people at the "unite the right" meeting. patriot front, same idea. here they were this weekend at a march for life event, an anti-abortion march in chicago this weekend. they marched alongside anti-abortion activists carrying a banner that said, strong families make strong nations, which isn't creepy or anything. to be clear, many of the antiabortion folks were bewinders or unhappy that the white national list middle managers club was crashing their event. a few also welcomed them. and this paramilitary white supremacist group showing up in formation to march and make common cause with the antiabortion movement, this comes as antiabortion politics is becoming sort of increasingly emboldened. it looks like the supreme court is poised to remain what is left of roe v. wade. they have gutted it in texas, and the abortion ban remains in effect now. antiabortion mihm tansey and violence is getting to a new place as we see white supremacists and apparently anti-abortion groups marching in the streets of cities like chicago. we found an important don't in this story next. stay with us. stay with us here's how the fbi agent described the early morning -- excuse me -- early hours of a february morning at the planned parenthood clinic in columbia, missouri. quote, after breaking the glass door, the defendant threw a molotov cocktail incendiary device in the building. the defendant remained standing on the sidewalk outside the door watching the inside of the building. sometime later smoke is visible billowing from the broken glassdoor of the planned parenthood building. that man was sentenced just over a year ago in september 2020. the man described by that fbi agent was sentenced to five years in prison for setting fire to that clinic in columbia, missouri. in january 2020, it was a different guy. it was an 18-year-old man who had rhapsodized online how much he wanted to shoot democrats who supported abortion rights. he decided to bring his online threats into real life. he threw a firebomb into the planned parenthood clinic in newark, delaware. he also spray painted on the clinic building the latin phrase for "god wills it," which is a crusades-era battle cry that far-white activists and white supremacists have adopted in several years. that 18-year-old pled guilty in federal court last year, pled guilty to throwing that incendiary device into the planned parenthood window. he is set to be sentenced later this month. surprisingly, thankfully, in those attacks nobody was injured. but the attacks do keep coming. last week we reported that a planned parenthood clinic in knoxville, tennessee, was set on fire just a couple of weeks ago on new year's eve. authorities have since determined that that was, in fact, an arson attack and it was a complete destruction of the property. nine fire units responded to the scene, but they couldn't save it. the clinic was in the midst of a $2 million renovation due to double in its size. somebody intentionally burned it to the ground. it is a total loss. this time last year that same clinic in knoxville, tennessee, was attacked another time. somebody fired a shotgun through the front doors on the anniversary of the roe v. wade decision, january last year. that crime has never been solved. no arrests were ever made. nearly one year later, no suspect has been identified. but now in connection to the fire, there is a $10,000 reward out for information about the new year's eve arson attack that destroyed the knoxville planned parenthood clinic. that clinic, for context here, it served 4,000 people last year. tonight it is ash and rubble. joining us is ashley cofield, president and ceo of planned parenthood of tennessee and north mississippi. ms. cofiellco field cofiell, it's a pleasure to have you with us tonight. i know this is a stressful time. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, rachel. thanks for having me. >> let me first start by asking if i got any of that wrong or if i have missed out any of the important details, if there is anything we are misconstruing or don't know about that you might know about in terms of what happened with your clinic. >> no. we know from fire investigators that it was arson. they do have the evidence to prove that. and we're so grateful to them for all of the hard work they are doing to get to the bottom of it. >> in terms of the evidence they have got, i am disheartened, i will say, to know that the crime this time last year in which somebody shot a shut gun through the front door of the clinic, that was never solved. do you know anything about the strength of the evidence that allowed them to determine this was arson? does it give you comfort that a suspect might ultimately be identified? >> i have all the faith in the world in the investigators. the knoxville fire department did a terrific job protecting our neighbors from harm. it was a huge fire, rachel. and none of our neighbors were harmed. and they worked hard with the atf to collect all the evidence as quickly as possible and they are working as hard as they can to get to the bottom of it. >> you know, roughly a month before the shooting at the clinic last year we read in terms of looking at local press an anti-abortion group new to the knoxville area started protesting outside your clinic and this group held a prayer vigil, for example, where they prayed every fire of heaven would come against this building, given the ultimate fire at the clinic that is, obviously, foreboding and terrible. i don't mean to draw any supposition here, and connect the anti-abortion protests and these violent crimes committed against the clinic, but i wonder if you could talk about the protests around the clinic, whether you have been experiencing threats towards your staff or patients? >> we have seen an increase in harassment at all of our locations in tennessee the past several years, which is, obviously, very concerning. and i can't help but relate it back to the charged rhetoric and the extreme policies promoted by our tennessee general assembly and our governor. you can't help that. they create an environment where harassment and hate and violence is justifiable. and i want everybody to know that we're not intimidated by that, and we are going to move forward. we are determined and committed to rebuild. >> now, you've said just here that you plan to rebuild. i know you said that recently since fire investigators confirmed that this was, in fact, an arson. can you you talk to us about what kind of challenge this is? i mean, obviously, financially and logistically and in terms of the intimidation factor, this is a big deal, but this is also a clinic that was serving 4,000 people a year at this site. what are the kinds of challenges, what kind of support have you had since this crime, what are your plans in terms of how you will rebuild? >> well, right now we are helping our patients with referrals and with telehealth to the extent that we can. we're looking for a safe operating site to get back to work for our patients as quickly as possible and thinking about what the rebuild will look like. knoxville wants us to be there. our patients need us to be there. and we are going to be there. at that clinic we were offering abortion services. we were offering gender-affirming hormone care. we were offering free and low-cost birth control, including free iuds. so it is a significant cost for the community. the fire erased the hard work of lots and lots of people who were making that expansion possible and we were so close to being almost finished. but we are committed and determined to be back in knoxville as quickly as possible. >> ashley coffield, president and ceo of planned parenthood of tennessee and north mississippi. thank you for your time tonight. and, again, i know this is a difficult time. keep us apprised of any updates. we will keep watching for updates from law enforcement in terms of this reward that they have put out for information leading to anyone's arrest. we'd love to keep in touch with you about your rebuilding plans and how else this develops. thank you. >> wonderful. thank you, rachel. we'll be right back.

hospital with covid. you can see the first big bump. that's when the u.s. hit our peak for covid hospitalizations a year ago. that's january of last year. the second big bump, that was the delta wave that filled hospitals last fall. and now look at the spike on the right side of your screen? that is where covid hospitalizations are right now. more people being admitted to the hospital with covid

that the caseload number at least has started finally to fall in recent days, and thankfully, it is a similar story with hospitalizations in new york, which are following, temporarily following the case numbers, but they also appear to have started to turn the corner. may that continue. if those trends continue in new york city, and that is a big if, it could be a sign that this current wave may be on track to come down just as rapidly as it rose up. the top elected official for manhattan said tonight online, quote, there are continued signs that new york city's omicron wave has plateaued.
