Summary

President Joe Biden met with GOP senators about covid relief, while the United States tops 442,000 covid deaths and 26.2 million covid cases. The GOP senators' proposals are less than one third the size of Biden's plan. Wolf Blitzer has a one-on-one with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sources are saying that house Democrats are planning to accuse former President Donald Trump of intentionally inciting rioters with the effort to subvert voters' will. According to White House officials, the White House is "in close touch" with key Democrat Manchin after the dust up over the vice president's interview in his state. Trump hires controversial lawyers for his impeachment trial after his previous team quits over his strategy. GOP Rep. Greene is now saying that shootings "are not fake" despite reportedly agreeing that Parkland attack was a "false flag." There will be a house GOP conference on Wednesday amid infighting over reps Cheney and Greene. In the first official act against Rep. Greene, the house rules to consider the resolution to kick her off of the committee. The GOP is under pressure to denounce controversial Rep. Greene as she touts Trump's "full support." Rep. Kinzinger starts a PAC to reclaim the Republican party after the Trump administration. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
