SALUTE LEE ON CAPITOL HILL.
JUDGE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON
THESE ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING
CONFIRMED AS THE NEXT SUPREME
COURT JUSTICE AND THE FIRST
BLACK WOMAN TO SERVE ON THE
COURT.
>> SENATE DEMOCRATS WITH THE
SUPPORT OF 3 REPUBLICANS VOTED
YESTERDAY TO MOVE HER
NOMINATION FROM THE DEADLOCK
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TO THE
FLOOR OF THE SENATE. THIS ALL
CLEARS A PATHWAY FOR
CONFIRMATION VOTE. AS SOON AS
THIS WEEK. NBC NEWS CAPITOL
HILL CORRESPONDENT LEIGH ANN
CALDWELL HAS BEEN FOLLOWING
ALL OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS. SHE
JOINS US NOW. GOOD MORNING,
LEON. SENATE DEMOCRATS WANT
THIS CONFIRMATION VOTE
SETTLED. THEY WANT BEFORE THE
EASTER RECESS. THAT'S NOW
EASIER NOW THAT 3 GOP SENATORS
HAVE SAID THEY WILL VOTE FOR
JUDGE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON.
NOW, WHAT IS THE TIMELINE THAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT FROM HERE ON
OUT.
>> GOOD MORNING, VICKY. SO THE
VOTE THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE
YESTERDAY WAS A PRECURSOR TO
WHAT GOING TO BE THE FINAL
VOTE. WE WERE WAITING ON A
COUPLE REPUBLICANS TO DECIDE
IF THEY WERE GOING TO VOTE FOR
BROWN JACKSON AND 2 MORE. DID
SENATOR MITT ROMNEY AND
SENATOR LISA MURKOWSKI. SO
THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER
TO REPUBLICANS. AS YOU
MENTIONED, CLEARING THE WAY
FOR HER CONFIRMATION PROCESS
FOR HER CONFIRMATION. SENATOR
MCCASKILL, JUST WANT TO KNOW
PART OF THE REASON SHE DECIDED
TO COME OUT OF THE PORT OF
KETANJI BROWN JACKSON DESPITE
HER ADMITTING THAT IT COULD
MAKE IT POLITICALLY DIFFICULT
FOR HER TO WIN REELECTION.
THIS YEAR IS BECAUSE SHE
CALLED THE CONFIRMATION
PROCESS. AWFUL JUST AWFUL AS
WHAT SHE TOLD REPORTERS. SHE
SAYS IT'S BEEN COMPLETELY BY
OUR PARTISAN. IT'S COMPLETELY
BROKEN AND SHE'S REALLY
FRUSTRATED WITH IT. AND THAT'S
PART OF THE REASON SHE CAME
OUT IN SUPPORT OF COUNTRY.
BROWN JACKSON AS FAR AS THE
TIMING IS CONCERNED, THERE'S A
LOT OF STEPS THIS THAN IT
NORMALLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH IN
ORDER TO PASS NOMINATIONS AND
SO THEY'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH
THOSE STEPS AND IT'S GOING TO
TAKE ALL WEEK. THE ONLY
QUESTION IS WILL THE FINAL
VOTE BE THURSDAY FOR FRIDAY,
BUT IT HAS BECOME CLEAR NOW
THAT SHE WILL BE CONFIRMED TO
THE SUPREME COURT SO WE'RE
EXPECTING THAT BY AS EARLY AS
THIS WEEK.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HOUSE
IS LEANNE. IT IS EXPECTED TO
VOTE TO RECOMMEND PETER
NAVARRO AND DAN SCAVINO TO THE
DOJ FOR CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS.
OUR VIEWERS REMEMBER, THESE
ARE THE 2 ADVISORS TO FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP. THEY REFUSED
TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE JANUARY
6 SELECT COMMITTEE. SO WHAT IS
THAT PROCESS STAND.
>> YEAH. THE HOUSE YESTERDAY
THEY HEARING ABOUT WHICH IS
THE FINAL STEP BEFORE MOVES
THE FULL HOUSE. AND SO THAT
FULL HOUSE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE
UP SPACE TO CONTEMPT
RECOMMENDATIONS THIS WEEK. NOW
AFTER THEY VOTE FOR IT, WHICH
IT IS EXPECTED TO PASS WITH
THE SUPPORT OF ALL DEMOCRATS
ARE MOST DEMOCRATS. I THEN IT
GOES TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE WHERE THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE WILL DECIDE IF
THEY'RE GOING TO PRESS CHARGES
ON THESE 2. AND SO PETER
NAVARRO AND DAN SCAVINO ARE
LIKELY AFTER THIS VOTE TO JOIN
MARK MEADOWS AND THE BANDIT.
BUT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS
CONSIDERING MOVING FORWARD. TO
REMIND VIEWERS STEVE BANNON
WAS ALREADY INDICTED. THAT
PROCESS HASN'T STARTED FOR HIS
TRIAL THEY'RE STILL WAITING ON
A MARK MEADOWS. BUT AT THE END
OF THIS WEEK, THERE COULD BE 2
MORE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OF
FORMER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
OFFICIALS THAT HAVE BEEN
REFERRED TO JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
FOR CRIMINAL CONTEMPT. THE
MAN. QUICKLY BEFORE I LET YOU
GO, THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE
UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE NOW TO
WRAP UP THIS INVESTIGATION
BEFORE THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
>> IT'S A PLAN TO GO TO PUBLIC
HEARINGS. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK
LIKE.
>> THE NEW SCHEDULE THAT
COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE SAYING
SO WE HAVE HEARD THIS OVER AND
OVER AGAIN THAT TIMELINE KEEP
SHIFTING. SO NOTHING'S BEEN
OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED. BUT
WE'RE HEARING THEY MAY. ALL
RIGHT. LEIGH ANN CALDWELL,
