[Blitzer:] We're following an important developing story up on Capitol Hill. After months and months of delay, the Senate finally may be close to an agreement that would allow a vote on confirming Loretta Lynch as the nation's first African-American female attorney general. Let's get to our chief congressional correspondent, Dana Bash. What's the latest, Dana?
[Dana Bash, Cnn Chief Congressional Correspondent:] Well, the latest is first of all to keep in mind what has been holding up Loretta Lynch. It's not because she lacks the votes. By our count, she has the 51 votes needed to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. But still, she has been delayed as the White House repeats over and over again, longer than any attorney general nominee since the Reagan years, about three decades ago, and even twice as long as any other nominee I think since the past seven between her committee approval, which was done, and the Senate floor vote. So the question is, so what's the hold up? It's actually on something completely unrelated. A human trafficking bill, which also has very broad bipartisan support, that has been mired in differences over abortion language, restrictions on abortion and federal money being used for that. So that is why the whole reason why Loretta Lynch has been held up. The majority leader won't let her nomination go before human trafficking is agreed to. Today we're told by Democratic and Republican sources they're closing in on a deal to get human trafficking done. So once that gets done, then you could actually see a vote on the attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch, which again has been held up for a very long time Wolf?
[Blitzer:] All right. Let's see what happens. Thanks very much, Dana, for that. We leave you with this note. Israelis pause today as sirens pierced the air this morning marking Holocaust Remembrance Day. Drivers stopped, stepped out of their cars. They and others bowed their heads as the nation came to a two-minute standstill to remember the six billion Jews killed during the Holocaust and the end of World War II. That's it for me. Thanks for watching. The news continues next on
