>> well, maybe instead of a circus i would call it a bazaar because of the tone and the manner with which it was conducted. substantively, i don't think we learned much of anything in this because whitaker would refuse to answer the questions, but tonally i think we learned a lot. i think we learned what matt whitaker thinks of congress and by extension what the president thinks of this congress. i've often said the president is not upset with nancy pelosi or the congress, he's upset with james madison because he doesn't like the checks and balances. for two years he had a congress that didn't ask the tough questions. now he has a democratic establishment and democratic members who are asking the tough questions of him and his cabinet. >> but it looks like these tough questions that you mentioned, we could be hearing a lot of them in hearings like the one we saw yesterday over the next two years. is it possible that the democrats run the risk of overdoing it here? >> yeah, it's very possible. i mean, i think the chairman of the committee, jerry nadler, i

think handled it very well and i think his demeanor and the way he engaged was very well done but i think some of the other members i think pushed it too far and i think democrats have to be really careful that the american public doesn't look at this whole thing and say, nothing is functional. it's not working, so, yes, i think the democrats have to be careful on how they do this. i think they're aware of that but sometimes when people get on stage and theater takes effect, they go too far. >> so speaking of dysfunction, let's loop back to our top story, virginia, where we have the three top officials in the state under assault. all of them are staying in their jobs for now but where do you think we're heading with this thing? can all three of these men tough it out and stay in office? >> well, you know, as i've watched this, it's like a game of survivor where the tribal council votes somebody off and they don't leave the island. and none of these three seem willing to leave the island even though there have been demands on many of them, almost all of them to leave. i think what is likely to happen

of sexual assault, i think the most likely scenario is that he steps down. i think we now have two women in this who have made valid allegations of sexual assault but i think nobody knows where this goes from here. it looks like the governor has dug in and he is not going to leave but it is a -- talk about a bizarre situation. virginia is a bizarre situation. >> he's dug in with so many people calling for him to resign. it's unclear who he'll be able to work with going forward. matthew dowd, thank you, and we're disappointed you didn't mention "deuce bigalow 2." >> i got "survivor" in. i got "survivor" in. i got "survivor" in. >> credit where it's due. thank you, matthew. appreciate it. >> we always appreciate the matt dowd references to pop culture as well. turning to other news this morning, president trump getting his annual health checkup. dr. sean conley, his personal physician, saying the president is in very good health but stopping short of releasing any details of the four-hour exam. after a health assistment last year, the president was told to step up the exercise and cut the calories.

sentenced to 30 years behind bars after pleading guilty to stealing money from clients and elder abuse. last friday merritt was supposed to turn himself in to a georgia he killed his mother and t time went on the run. >> reporter: authorities say merritt fatally stabbed his own mother shirley seen here in a memorial page created by her family then allegedly cut off his ankle monitor and took off in her lexus. >> what i want is justice for shirley merritt and i want him to pay for what he's done. >> reporter: former clients like tina sailor who testified against merritt during his trial fearing possible retaliation telling abc news his ankle monitor was in cartersville, georgia, which is 15 minutes up the road from me. right now we're all kind of scared. so far investigators say there is no evidence of a hit list. >> he could be anywhere. we think he may be anywhere in the country. >> reporter: now his brother tells abc news overnight merritt should never have been givck to.

he believes all of this could a disturbing video coming to light during a traffic stop in arizona. >> the glendale police department facing a lawsuit for what happened after they pulled a car over. this morning, newly released body cam video obtained by affiliate knxv showing the dramatic encounter involving police officers in glendale, arizona, and a man they tased during a traffic stop. >> ow! >> stop it. >> reporter: the man and his family now suing the department. police say the july 2017 incident started with a turn signal violation. >> nobody has their i.d. on them? >> no. >> anything with their name on it? >> reporter: the passenger, johnny wheatcroft, his 6 and 11-year-old sons and their mother in the backseat. >> okay. i don't want you stuffing anything down in between the seat like you're doing. relax. >> reporter: the officers concerned he's hiding evidence. the situation dramatically escalates. >> stop. >> what the [ bleep ]. >> turn over.

turn over. turn over, [ bleep ]. >> reporter: officers deploying their tasers struggling to get wheatcroft into handcuff, the struggle lasting for several minutes. wheatcroft's attorney saying his client was tased 11 times in a lawsuit calling the incident unlawful, unprovoked, unwarranted, unjustified, callous, depraved, vicious and evil. police saying the officer deployed his taser after they say wheatcroft's wife hit his partner in the head. in a statement glendale police say they reviewed the officer's actions and one of them was disciplined. in a letter obtained by our affiliate knxv, he was suspended for 30 hours without pay for what the department called gross negligence. wheatcroft and his wife were both charged with aggravated assault. court records show she pled gu ta lesser charge. in the lawsuit wheatcroft's attorney says all the charges against his client were dismissed. but hard video to watch no matter what. >> really.

absolutely. >> no matter what. let's move on now to the tense standoff along the border with venezuela. embattled president nicolas maduro blocking american humanitarian aid trucks from entering the country, which is in crisis. abc's victor oquendo has the latest from the colombian side of that border. victor. >> reporter: good morning, dan. interim president juan guaido moving forward announcing over the weekend the opposition will be organizing volunteers to get that desperately needed humanitarian aid into the country. we got a firsthand look at the u.s.-led efforts. nine truckloads filled with food diapers, toothpaste and medical supplies held up at a warehouse right here in cucuta, colombia blocked from entering venezuela by the nicolas maduro regime. directly outside that warehouse a highway connecting the two countries blocked by shipping containers and a tanker. maduro calling the u.s. aid a humiliation and calling for sanctions to be lifted. meanwhile, venezuelans continue suffering with a crippling economy and a shortage of supplies left with no choice but to cross this nearby border for food and medicine on an almost daily basis. but now the big question is,

what happens next? the u.s. promising to deliver more than $20 million in humanitarian aid. guaido vowing to get it into the country but for now the majority of those supplies remain in limbo as this crisis continues. eva. >> all right, thanks, victor. and the dangerous winter storm pounding the northwest this morning causing whiteout conditions. >> that's right. it was in the northeast last week. now the northwest. rob marciano here with the very latest. rob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. really the entire west coast ran across san francisco, los angeles and snow down to the lower elevations of some of the mountains outside of l.a. but the northwest is bearing the bankrupt of this. portland seeing rain turn to snow. it's been all snow in seattle overnight causing all sorts of problems. this is a rare second punch of snow this week for seattle and they call it the emerald city but this morning it is covered in white. overnight, the northwest slammed again by another winter storm bringing near whiteout conditions in seattle. the wintry mess, heavy snow and

ice blanketing parts of washington backing up rush hour traffic for miles. >> two hours on 5 to get home. >> it's bad. >> reporter: cars like this one left abandoned as slippery roads and visibility become a huge issue for drivers. wind gusts reaching up to 45 miles per hour in some areas bringing down trees and blocking roads. drivers stranded and some forced to pull over. watch as several people helped push this car along an icy road. and take a look at this truck that needed to be chained up and pulled out. major highways closed down due to collisions like this one and this bus stuck struggling to get moving. the driver eventually giving up needing some help to get back on the street. the storm hitting the seattle metro area the hardest with more than six inches of snow dumping on the city. planes grounded at the seattle tacoma airport with hundreds of flights delayed or canceled. s ar nor as a cmate that's veryimilar
