Jan. 6 defendant Vitali GossJankowski was tackled to the ground in an altercation inside a D.C. courtroom on Monday. Several federal agents were required to subdue the defendant in a fracas that reportedly toppled tables. CBS News was the first to report the altercation.
The scuffle erupted moments after U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman revoked GossJankowski’s conditional release pending his sentencing. GossJankowski was convicted in March of several misdemeanor and felony offenses related to his participation in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, which included pushing, spitting on,...

A member of the Proud Boys disappeared from house arrest days before he was due to be sentenced for pepper spraying a police officer during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Authorities have issued a warrant for Christopher Worrell, who was arrested in March 2021 and this May convicted of seven charges related to his involvement in the Capitol attack. Prosecutors were seeking 14 years of prison time, and a terrorism enhancement to the sentence, at a now-canceled hearing originally scheduled for Friday.
In 2021, Worrell filed a complaint against the D.C.

Updated, with additional details: Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to a 37-count indictment in federal court in Miami today. He is the first former president in U.S. history to face such charges.
News outlets began reporting his plea at about 12:05 p.m. Pt/3:05 p.m. Et, with The Washington Post reporting that Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche told Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman, “We most certainly enter a plea of not guilty.”
Earlier, Trump was arrested and fingerprinted, but no mugshot was taken.
Networks reported that Trump was instructed to not communicate about the case with any potential witnesses, including Walt Nauta, his aide, who is a co-defendant in the case. Trump was released and federal prosecutors reportedly said that they did not consider him a flight risk. There will be no restictions on Trump’s travel. Nauta also appeared in court, but will be arraigned later this month.

TV news can help a dozen soundbites from politicians go viral on any day. One recent social-media uproar stirred by CBS News came not from flagship programs like “CBS Mornings” or “CBS Evening News,” but from “Red & Blue,” a program available only through streaming.
On a recent Wednesday, CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns nabbed an interview with Senator Tim Scott, the Republican presidential hopeful, and made sure to ask him his stance on federal limits on when women might be able to terminate a pregnancy. Scott gave all kinds of answers, but none of them directly answered her questions. The exchange made news — even though it debuted first in a place where, in another era, it might have gotten lost.
Correspondents would like to do more of these kinds of interviews, says Huey-Burns. “He hadn’t defended a position before, so we saw that as an opportunity. Once people...

Kevin McCarthy made a series of concessions late Wednesday in an attempt to earn votes from members of his party who have held out supporting his speakership bid. The congressman so far has failed in six separate attempts to reach the votes necessary to make him speaker of the House, even with a late endorsement from Donald Trump.
According to Politico, McCarthy agreed to allow a one-member “motion to vacate,” which would lower the threshold of members needed to call a vote to remove a speaker to one. Previously, McCarthy...

“After pausing for much of the weekend to assess the security concerns, CBS News and Stations is resuming its activity on Twitter as we continue to monitor the situation,” CBS News’ PR division tweeted Sunday, roughly 40 hours after the tweet hiatus was put in place.

After a brief hiatus, Natalie Morales is back on the news beat.
In one of her first efforts for CBS News, Morales was called upon to explore a decades-old murder in Colorado for “48 Hours.” “It was more like a baptism by ice,” confesses Judy Tygard, the executive producer of the long-running program. “We had Natalie traipsing through the forest and the snow and out on these bitter, cold, deserted passes in Colorado, and we gave her a very simple task: Master a 40 year old case in a few weeks.”
On Saturday, Morales will tell viewers about an investigation into the 1982 murders of two young women, Annette Schnee, 21 and Bobbie Jo Oberholtzer, 29, near the resort ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado. The case had gone cold until investigators – some of whom have been trying to solve it for years – were able to get a DNA match from evidence via a public genealogy database.

CBS News’ latest election-night coverage feature won’t be as colorful or dynamic as one of the popular electronic boards that have propelled the careers of people like MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki or CNN’s John King. But it may be exponentially more essential.
CBS will introduce a new “Democracy Desk” to its coverage of the 2022 midterm elections. Norah O’Donnell, Gayle King, John Dickerson and others may narrate the proceedings on the evening of November 8, but three correspondents will be on standby to call attention to hiccups in voting procedures; how candidates who have denied the results of the 2020 presidential election are faring in their races; and whether law-enforcement authorities are seeing any threats to poll workers.
“I don’t think we are going to shy away from leaning into this early in the evening, and I think we will check in all night,” says David Reiter, executive producer of special events for CBS News,...

The Jan. 6 committee concluded its final hearing on Thursday by voting unanimously to subpoena Donald Trump, the man Vice Chair Liz Cheney described as the “central cause” of what happened that day. The former president responded with a furious Truth Social posting spree, calling the committee a “Bust” that is dividing the country while pinning the blame for the violence on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (who, unlike Trump, spent the riot trying to marshall forces to stop it).

Fox News’ decision to skip live news coverage of Thursday’s unprecedented primetime congressional hearing on the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks looks to have lifted viewership for the top-rated primetime news network compared to the week prior.
From 8-10 p.m. Et Thursday, Fox News averaged 2.9 million viewers, topping CNN (2.6 million) in total viewers, according to early Nielsen media research numbers provided to TheWrap. This marks a 7 jump from last Thursday when the networked earned 2.7 million viewers in primetime. From 8-11 p.m. Et, Fox News averaged 2.8 million viewers.
Thursday night’s figures compare well to the whole week preceding the first Jan. 6 committee hearing, during which Fox News averaged 2 million total viewers in primetime (8-10 p.m. Et), a 9 dip from the week before. For the week of May 30-June 5, Fox News’ top-performer, political talk show “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” was the only primetime cable program to average more than 3 million viewers.
