At least one person was killed and nearly 100 people were still unaccounted for after a part of a high-rise condominium building collapsed into a mammoth pile of twisted steel and concrete Thursday morning. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Thursday afternoon that 102 people have so far been accounted for. Residents seeking to flee the building screamed for help, and some were plucked from the building by firefighters using ladders. Mayor Charles Burkett said Champlain Towers South, the 12-story condominium in Surfside, Florida, «pancaked.» About half of the building’s more than 130 units were affected. Why the building collapsed was not immediately known. Rudy Giuliani, once a federal prosecutor in New York, has been barred from practicing law in the state for making «false and misleading statements» while working for former President Donald Trump. Giuliani made «demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for President Donald J. Trump» in his attempt to overturn election results, according to a 33-page decision by the New York Supreme Court. Giuliani, a former mayor of New York and a longtime fixture in New York City politics, has been at the forefront of Trump’s failed effort to reverse the results of the election he lost. Breaking a long stalemate, President Joe Biden and a bipartisan group of 21 senators reached a compromise Thursday to modernize the nation’s deteriorating transportation and public works systems, putting the president on track to pass the first plank of his sweeping infrastructure agenda. The breakthrough ends a weeks-long stalemate over the price tag and how to pay for what would be the largest transportation package ever approved by Congress. The $1.2 trillion plan includes $579 billion in new spending and focuses only on physical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, rail, broadband internet, water and sewer pipes, and electric vehicles. It proposes several ways to pay for the spending that avoid a gas tax increase that Biden resisted and a corporate tax hike that Republicans opposed. «We have a deal,» Biden said. Calling the Jan.6 attack on the U.S. Capitol «a day of darkness,» House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday announced she will create a select committee to investigate the attack. \u201cIt is imperative we seek the truth about what happened,» Pelosi said. She decided to create the select committee \u201cwith great solemnity and sadness\u201d because she preferred the bipartisan committee. The Capitol was stormed by a pro-Trump mob on Jan.6, as members of Congress had gathered to count the Electoral College votes affirming Joe Biden’s election victory. The violence sent Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress, including Pelosi, into hiding. Congressional Democrats have accused Republicans of downplaying the events of Jan.6. Republicans say Democrats are using the commission for political gain. More than 6 million households are at risk for eviction, and the only thing keeping some renters in their homes is a federal moratorium on evictions. The CDC announced Thursday a 30-day extension to federal protection for renters through July 31. The moratorium prevents tenants who are behind on rent from being removed from housing on public health grounds amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The order itself does not eliminate rental costs for families, leaving millions of families behind on payments. This is a compilation of stories from across the USA TODAY Network.
