Facebook's role ahead of January 6 attack

A new investigation by ProPublica and the Washington Post reveals how Facebook dissolved a "political moderation task force" in the weeks leading up to the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The previously unreported task force was created in an effort to police the increasingly "toxic" political groups on the social network. Craig Silverman, a national reporter for ProPublica and co-author of the report, joins "Red and Blue" with more on the findings.

U.S. to allow more asylum-seekers

As part of negotiations from a lawsuit filed by the ACLU, the Biden administration has agreed to allow up to 250 asylum-seekers who meet certain criteria into the country per day. Meanwhile, ProPublica reports the administration is fighting misinformation that's driving more people to the U.S.-Mexico border.

DOJ to allow public investigations of election fraud

ProPublica reports the Department of Justice sent an email that said federal investigators can publicly look into suspected election fraud before the polls close. It specifically mentioned postal workers and military employees, both of whom President Trump has accused of assisting in voter fraud. The memo goes against the DOJ's longstanding rule of not interfering with elections. ProPublica reporter Justin Elliott joins CBSN's Elaine Quijano with more on his reporting.
