Rudy Giuliani

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) quietly deleted a tweet he posted saying that he met with the "Stop the Steal" rioters ahead of their armed insurrection on the U.S. Capitol. He told them at the time to "keep fighting."

Sessions was caught deleting the tweet by Inside Elections reporter Jacob Rubashkin, who was combing through a series of deleted tweets by elected officials.

District of Columbia Attorney General Karl A. Racine told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell that he fully intends to prosecute anyone who incited a riot last Wednesday in the nation's Capitol.

Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL) told the crowd of fans of President Donald Trump that "American patriots" must "start taking down names and kicking ass" mere moments before Trump called on the crowd to march with him to the U.S. Capitol.

According to Dallas Morning News columnist Gromer Jeffers Jr., Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) did irreparable damage to whatever hopes he might have had about rising above being a U.S. senator when he tried to ingratiate himself to Donald Trump and inherit his following by making the case that the president was denied re-election due to voter fraud.

Cruz, along with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), has come under withering criticism for attempting to subvert the Congressional certification of the Electoral College votes on Jan. 6th prior to a pro-Trump mob storming the U.S. Capitol.

Rudy Giuliani's membership in the New York State Bar Association is a step closer to being removed, reported NBC News' Josh Lederman on Monday.

During a segment on what Donald Trump is doing in the White House now that all of his social media platforms have been stripped from him, CNN's John Harwood said the president is in a downward spiral and that no one is left to pull him out of it because they are as disconnected about what is happening in the country as Trump is.

According to "New Day" host Alisyn Camerota, "We've seen so many White House staffers and members jumping off this sinking ship. So there are acting cabinet members around, acting secretary of defense, acting attorney general. So are the people, it sounds like I should say, the people in the White House who have the most extreme views -- Stephen Miller, Peter Navarro, that they are the people who are still by the president's side and have his ear."

"That's right," Harwood replied. "As the president has become increasingly deranged in his conduct, the people willing to be around him are people who are the most extreme, the most unreasonable, the most disconnected from reality. You're talking about Navarro, you're talking people like Rudy Giuliani who has advised the president and others."

"The real question right now is about who is actually running the government of the United States," he added. "We saw, of course, [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi reaching out to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs last week to clarify safeguards in place that would prevent a deranged president from launching a military strike or a nuclear strike, God forbid."

"So there are a lot of questions here," he continued. "The resignation of some of those cabinet officials like Betsy DeVos and Elaine Chao, diminishes the 25th Amendment that could be invoked even if Vice President Pence were inclined and most are quitting. I would say to most of the people who are leaving, if you leave in the last two weeks of this administration, you are probably doing it to cleanse your own reputation rather than have a constructive step on the process. And one of the things that people can be thankful for is that some people, some national security officials, some people like White House Counsel Pat Cipollone are staying."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said President Donald Trump is starting to get a taste of what his post-presidency life will be like.

The "Morning Joe" host played a video statement from Arnold Schwarzenegger, who compared the U.S. Capitol siege to Kristallnacht and remembered the men he knew who'd been broken by Nazi lies, and Scarborough said Trump would soon find himself living in disgrace.

The US Justice Department announced Wednesday that it has indicted 15 people involved in the assault on Congress, including one man accused of possessing bombs made to act like "homemade napalm."

The department said it had arrested several suspects, including Richard Barnett, a supporter of US President Donald Trump who invaded the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and another man found with 11 styrofoam-enhanced Molotov cocktails in his truck.
