Activations. Another report that more than 13,000 guard troops were called into the district after the assassination of Martin Luther king in 1968. And that was the most to occupy a city since the civil war. A virginia man has been arrested after showing an unauthorized credential at an inauguration checkpoint a few blocks from here. Police found a gun and 500 rounds of ammunition inside his vehicle. The 31yearold security guards vehicle had weaponsrelated stickers on display including one that read assault life and another that said if they come for your guns, give them your bullets first. Wesley alan vealer told the Washington Post it was a, quote, honest mistake. Biden plans to issue dozens of executive orders in the early days of his presidency including measures to rescind the Muslim Country travel ban, rejoin the paris climate accords, extend relief for student loan payments and evictions instituted during the pandemic and mobilizing an actual federal response to the covid19 crisis as priority number one as we near 400,000 deaths in america. For getting more people vaccinated, we need more vaccination sites. Thats where were going to harness the full resources of the federal government to establish thousands of Community Vaccination centers. On my first day in office, ill instruct the federal Emergency Management agency, fema, to begin setting up the first of these centers. By the end of our first month in office, we will have 100 feld rally supported Centers Across the nation that will ultimately vaccinate millions of people. To underscore the remarkable political moment in which were living, a new nbc news poll shows that 61 of voters say joe biden won the election legitimately compared to 35 who say he didnt. For those of you keeping track at home, its 100 true that joe biden in fact won the election legitimately. There have been almost 100 court cases challenging this. None have succeeded. Heres whats dragging down the numbers on that fact. Republicans 21 of them believe the fact that bidens victory is legitimate. As for the legitimate loser of the president ial election, though hes yet to concede, he will be leaving office on wednesday, and during his final hours hes reportedly retreated into the shadows largely leaving his president ial duties in the hands of Vice President mike pence. L. A. Times reports, trump has withdrawn almost completely from the duties of the job he fought so hard to keep. Aides and friends who have spoke within him this week describe him as irate about twitter deleting his account but also saying hes sober by warnings from his lawyers about his potential liability for inciting last weeks riot. As trump prepares to leave office, it sets up a crisis in the republican party. The infighting underscores the deep divisions hes created in the gop and all but ensures the next campaign will represent a pichal test of the partys direction with a series of clashes looming in the months ahead. First i want to talk about what is going on right around me in preparation for this inauguration. Joining me now, nbc correspondent allison barber. 25,000 troops have been deployed to d. C. This week. Theres still a threat of violence. We saw a wellarmed man arrested near the capitol yesterday. Whats the scene this morning . Police, military officers are across the city. There are check points across capitol hill and downtown d. C. At a checkpoint similar to the one we see just down the block from us, that is where police say they arrested a virginia man yesterday evening. Wesley vealer pulled up to a security checkpoint with an unauthorized inauguration pass. He had a handgun under an armrest and told police. As officers searched his truck they found more than 500 rounds of ammunition. He was arrested and booked on suspicion of carrying a weapon and unregistered firearms and ammunition. He told our nbc affiliate that he was working as a security guard, that he was trying to get directions, he was lost heading home so stopped to ask police for directions. He said that his weapon is legally registered in virginia and he forgot that he had it in his car. He was arrested. He was booked. D. C. Police, Capitol Police told him to stay away from d. C. Its increasingly becoming what many have described, the green zone in iraq. There will be some 25,000 National Guard members on the ground in d. C. Come inauguration day. 15,000 are here. Those 25,000, theyre going to come from all 50 states, three u. S. Territories as well as the district of columbia. And that is all in between this. Police, fbi, Law Enforcement are still looking for rioters who sieged the capitol on january 6th. This is one of a few bill boards that are up in d. C. Showing the faces of some of these alleged rioters, hoping people can identify them and more people will call and turn them in to the fbi. We know the fbi has said they have gotten at least 140,000 videos and photos of people involved in the riot. They say many rioters theyve arrested, they were turned in by family and friends. Ali . Im so glad you showed us that bus shelter. Thats what gabe and i were talking about in the last hour. All over d. C. , these electronic pictures of people who are wanted are being displayed. Allison barber here in the district of columbia. Not only is donald trump facing an impeachment trial in the senate, but some of his closest allies may face legal consequences related to his sedition. The attorney general for washington, d. C. , the district of columbia, is considering filing riot incitement charge against donald trump jr. , Rudy Giuliani, and mo brooks for roles in the capitol invasion, also leaving up the question of prosecuting donald trump himself for same conduct once he leaves office. With me is carl racine, attorney general for the district of columbia. Hes also the president of the bipartisan National Association of attorneys general. Good to see you. Thanks for being with us. Nice to see you, ali. Tell me your thinking about these people. You are considering bringing charges. Thats what the reporting is. Against people for inciting this riot. The reporting is accurate. The office of attorney general has jurisdiction over a number of potential offenses, including weapons, ammunition, curfew violations, and the one thats gotten the most attention, of course, is the inciting violence charge. Weve brought that charge before. Its law in d. C. Since 2011. It makes illegal the statements of individuals that clearly encourage, cajole, and otherwise, you know, get people motivated to commit violence. Well balance the First Amendment rights of speakers versus this law and will be judicious with whether to charge and who to charge. But every Single Person at that rally is being reviewed. Rightwing media and politicians always say this is about freedom of speech and censorship, ironic to someone coming from the floor of the house of representatives if youre making a speech on the floor of house of representatives youre not being censored. How do you balance that . What is the theoretical line one crosses between arguing for, you know, protecting our democracy and storming the capitol . Well, its all about the worries, the crowd thats present, all about the dynamics and the environment. The Energy Around the environment. If one is talking about combat justice in a crowd that is all amped up and really focused on taking over a particular building, like the capitol. I think it gets closer to that line. When folks are talking about fighting, fighting, fighting, i think it gets closer to that line. Ultimately, were going to have to do a thorough investigation, which is under way, including, i must say, talking to people who were at that rally, talking to people who indeed stormed the capitol and went inside. Lets talk about the president of the United States himself. Not only was he a participant in that rally but he had been tweeting about it, talking about it, and while it was going on, he then released a video further encouraging people. The video didnt talk about violence, just talked about how he loved them. In the moment he was called upon by joe biden to get on tv and stop the riot, he encouraged them. Is there any potential charge that donald trump might face . You know, were looking at the president , of course. You have to be, you know, incredibly diligent and responsible whenever youre going to charge anyone. The president is not above the law. Hes not below the law. I think his conduct prior to the mob storming the capitol is relevance. I think his conduct during that time and immediately thereafter is also relevant. And youll remember it wasnt until hours after the capitol was cleared that the president actually made a statement of contrition and actually chastised and called the stormers rioters. Thats a long time after what everyone saw on their tv was an attempt essentially to undo our democracy. So were going to be thorough, patient, and rigorous. What do charges like this carry in terms of penalty . Its great question. So our charge is a misdemeanor, a sixmonthinjail maximum. The federal charge carries far more jail time. Our charge is nonetheless very important, and were going to make sure that we use our prosecutorial discretion in an appropriate manner. Were obviously collaborating at a high level with the federal prosecutors and will continue t to do so. But let it be known that the office of attorney general has a potential charge that it may utilize. Attorney general karl racine, good to see you. Karl racine is the attorney general for the district of columbia. Well follow your offices doings in the next few days. Up next, Donald Trumps estranged niece, mary trump, will comment on the possible harm her own uncle brought upon the country in his final days of office.

Shes trying to save whatever may exist of whatever political career she thinks that shes going to have. They all realize that theyre all in trouble, so what you see is youre seeing a mass exodus away from donald trump. While he was in power, it made sense to try to hang on to his coattails. What happens when somebody loses all that power and theyre going down a path of destructiveness . Thats the time that all of the rats start to flee. I want to bring in mary trump, Donald Trumps niece, psychologist and the author of a book too much and never enough how my family created the worlds most dangerous man. Thanks for join us. You heard what Michael Cohen was talking about. This becomes a dark moment for your uncle donald trump because the same people have kind of left, the people who keep the guard rails have left. Hes surrounded by a little built of family and Rudy Giuliani and the foam pillow guy. He may be getting the worst advice of his entire career right now. Oh, he absolutely is. Michael cohen is correct in his assessment of whats going on with people like jared and ivanka. You know, their relationships with donald have always been transactional, and as long as they believe theres no upside for them, theyre going to get away from him as quickly as possible. As for the people left, you know, the other the flip side of it is that donald only wants people around him who are going to tell him what he wants to hear no matter how destructive it might be for him. And the fact that its down to Rudy Giuliani and a pillow guy tells us everything we need to know about the quality of people left. I understand Steven Miller is still in there, too, so that just enforces the theory that the worst among them are the only ones hanging in there with him. I guess the concern is, is it just sad and it will be over in a few days and hell go to maralago and live out his days, or is it dangerous in the next three days . Its incredibly dangerous. You know, theres no reason to think that his incitement for an armed insurrection was the end of it. You know, in some ways, on wednesday, that wednesday, january 6th, they were able to claim a victory. They actually did storm the capitol, after all, and there is no moderating influence in the white house to the extent that there ever was one, and donald is increasingly desperate. You know, we need to realize that it isnt just what were seeing, its what were not seeing that we need to be really worried about. What do you think that is . In other words, what were not seeing . I have this terrible feeling were in for some pretty horrific pardons, which is saying something considering the pardons hes already granted. You know, im worried about whats going on at the department of defense in terms of the installing of donalds loyalists. And, you know, ive been worrying for a while about what might be going on with our most closely guarded secrets, all of which donald has access to. Hes a desperate man who is in serious financial trouble and who is looking at very serious criminal charges and lawsuits being brought against him as soon as he no longer has the powers and protections of the oval office. So i dont think anythings off the table in terms of what he might do. During the rally leading up to the storming of the capitol on january 6th, we saw images of donald trump with his family, with eric, don jr. They were in a control center of sorts watching it all on tv, dancing to music. Then we saw him release a video that said he loved them and is with them. Late theyre night released another video condemning violence. It doesnt look like he was condemning the violence. He was aggravating it. Karl racine is looking into charging Rudy Giuliani and donald trump jr. And maybe donald trump himself with inciting violence. What do you think was going through Donald Trumps mind while he was watching coverage of the people storming the capitol . Im sorry to say he loved every second of it. There was no way while it was happening anybody was going to convince him to step in and tell them to tone it down. That was for him. And he reveled in it. The video that he later made calling them out and criticizing it was entirely inauthentic. It was a lie from beginning to end. And that was simply something he was forced to do probably by an attorney to cover himself in case he was open to charges. And i think the attorney general of d. C. Is entirely correct to pursue those. Things can go two ways. Articles portray him as a sad, lonely, isolated man going to florida to get the adulation he seeks. On the other hand, he holds sway among several million disaffected americans. Theres media power in there, money to be made. He continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the republican party. What do you think happens next to donald trump . You know, we can laugh about Rudy Giuliani and the my pillow guy, which i suppose we shouldnt, but we cant discount the fact that donald has people still advising him who know a lot more than he does, how to manipulate the system. As you mentioned, there are still millions of people who support him and who think that this was not a legitimate election. Donald is not going away to the extent that he is allowed to stick around and remain relevant. So my hope is one, that the media ignore him as much as thats possible, because as soon as President Biden is sworn in, donald should be irrelevant, and he is looking at all of those things i mentioned earlier statelevel charges, lawsuits, also his banks have no reason anymore not to call in his enormous debts. So on the one hand, i believe that he will continue to try to stir things up, but i hope hes not allowed to slink away to maralago and live out his days. I hope hes looking at a lot of depositions and indictments and hopefully criminal charges because if anybody deserves them its him. He incited an armed insurrection against our country, and the fact that he hasnt been removed from office yet is an indictment, i believe, of our system. Mary, than you so much for joining us this morning. Mary trump, the niece of donald trump, the author of too much and never enough. Joe biden will be inaugurated in three days.
