singled out a suspect in the killing of capitol police officer brian sicknick in the attack on the capitol on january 6th. the fbi has found someone on video of the attack who appears to be responsible for the death of officer sicknick. we will have more details on this big break in the fbi s investigation of the killing of officer sicknick after we begin with coverage of the breaking news in the house of representatives tonight. the house rules committee is voting right now on the $1.9 trillion biden covid relief bill that includes an increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour. house speaker nancy pelosi was disappointed in last night s ruling by the senate parliamentarian, elizabeth macdonough, that an increase in the minimum wage could not be included in the biden covid relief bill as part of a budget reconciliation package because of the unique parliamentary budget rules of the senate, rules that do not apply in the house of representatives. it wasn t the first time in h
state in the u.s. capitol. we haven t seen anything like this since 1998. officer sicknick, his family had him cremated. his remains are on the table next to a flag commemorating his service. his family is there. it s a good thing, chris, we haven t seen anything like this since and we shouldn t be watching it now. as i was listening to you on the way here, hearing an officer die in the line of duty because of an insurrection on capitol hill was just mind boggling to even fathom. members of the law enforcement community were supposed to start their visitation, and that s what they re doing now, 10:00 p.m. i imagine the president of the united states will be along soon. he arrived we watched the motorcade bringing him in from the white house. he s not in yet. he hasn t visited. no, he has not visited but we saw the motorcade. i have been receiving word from law enforcement, law enforcement with capitol police and surrounding police departments, and they are actuall

spoke of the wind and what it has been like to stand out there and to wait for the departure of officer sicknick and all the people can see represented in the high numbers of law enforcement, fbi agents and all those who support the u.s. capitol police as well, who support our law enforcement, are outside the capitol. i understand griff jenkins is still with me. you re in position to better be able to see this. tell us what s happening. reporter: well, harris, right now we re just watching these hundreds of u.s. capitol police officers who have been standing firmly in the cold, in the wind, at attention for the last 30 minutes or so honoring their colleague and friend brian sicknick. the family here really has been a touching moment. they put out a statement saying they essentially thanked the capitol and congressional leadership for bestowing a historic honor on their fallen hero, saying their personal tragedy and loss is shared by our nation, brings hope for healing. such
