Biden wants Congress to take action on gun reform

When asked in pre-recorded interview by "CBS Evening News" Anchor Norah O'Donnell if former President Donald Trump should receive any further intelligence briefings, Biden said “I think not,” adding that it’s because of Trump’s “erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection.” 

Asked what his worst fear is if Trump continues to get these briefings, Biden wouldn’t speculate, simply saying there’s “no need for him to have” it.

“I'd rather not speculate out loud. I just think that there is no need for him to have that intelligence briefing. What value is giving him an intelligent briefing? What impact does he have at all? Other than the fact he might slip and say something.”

Trump’s own former deputy director of national intelligence, Sue Gordon, previously said that Trump shouldn’t have access to the briefings after he left office.

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the decision to revoke Trump’s access was “under review” and there was no determination yet.

In a clip of Biden’s pre-recorded interview with "CBS Evening News" Anchor Norah O’Donnell, President Joe Biden Friday night said that his plan for a $15 minimum-wage hike in his COVID-19 relief bill likely won’t happen.

“Well, apparently, that's not going to occur because of the rules of the United States Senate,” Biden said on the minimum-wage effort. 

“So you're saying the minimum wage won't be in this?” O'Donnell clarified. 

“My guess is it will not be in it. But I do think that we should have a minimum wage stand by itself $15 an hour, and work your way up to the 15-- it doesn't have to be “boom.” And all the economics show, if you do that the whole economy rises. I'm prepared, as president of the United States, on a separate negotiation on minimum wage, to work my way up from what it is now, which is-- look, no one should work 40 hours a week and live below the poverty wage. And if you're making less than $15 an hour, you're living below the poverty wage,” Biden said, suggesting an incremental shift to $15/hour. 

Biden also spoke about overall negotiations, saying he was “wide open” on how to target direct payments to those who need it most but seemed to commit to an upper boundary of $75,000 per person, $150,000 a couple. 

“But here's the deal: Middle-class folks need help. But you don't need to get any help to someone making 300,000 bucks or 250. So it's somewhere between an individual making up to 75 and phasing out, and a couple making up to 150 and phasing out. But, again, I'm wide open on what that is.”

Weeks after the Trump administration announced new sanctions on the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the Biden White House is now moving to revoke them, a State Department official confirmed to ABC News.

The designation of the group, formally known as Ansar Allah, as a foreign terrorist organization on Jan. 11 was condemned by human rights groups and United Nations officials for hampering the delivery of international aid to the war-torn country on the brink of famine.

The official told ABC News that Secretary of State Antony Blinken has notified Congress of the intention to revoke the designation and "will share more details in the coming days." 

"This decision has nothing to do with our view of the Houthis and their reprehensible conduct, including attacks against civilians and the kidnapping of American citizens. We are committed to helping Saudi Arabia defend its territory against further such attacks," the State Department official said in a statement to ABC News. "Our action is due entirely to the humanitarian consequences of this last-minute designation from the prior administration, which the United Nations and humanitarian organizations have since made clear would accelerate the world’s worst humanitarian crisis." 

Individual Houthi leaders have been sanctioned over the years, but former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's decision to designate the entire movement as a foreign terrorist organization essentially criminalized working with them, which aid groups say they have to do.

This is just the latest effort by the Biden administration to extricate the U.S. from the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen. On Thursday, Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, announced that the U.S. would end "American support for offensive operations in Yemen."

Last week, Biden suspended two U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which is part of the coalition fighting the Houthis, that the Trump administration had green-lighted.

The House passed the Senate-amended budget resolution in a 219-209 vote on Friday.

Maine Rep. Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote no.

Final passage of the budget resolution now unlocks the next phase in drafting the COVID-19 rescue package, with the work divided among several Congressional committees.

Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters Friday that House committees will begin their work next week. They hope to have a final COVID-19 rescue package ready for votes in the House for the week of Feb. 22.
