onlyfans. >> president biden's brother subpoenaed. >> potential tax charges. bad news for hunter biden anyway you slice it. good morning, everyone. it's friday. we have a lot of news to get to, but are starting with israeli forces now saying they discovered the body of a second hostage near gaza's largest hospital where troops have been conducting a military operation. that as the israeli military says it also found a hamas tunnel shaft and cache of guns, grenades and other ammunition at the hospital. looking at video now as proof hamas calling accusations baseless lies. cnn can't verify either side's claims and human rights whaantso add an independent investigation. >> and one of the big reasons why israel sent troops to the hospital. >> we had strong indications they were held in the shifa hospital, one of the reasons we

entered the hospital. if they were, they were taken out. >> significant to hear him say that. at home in the united states seeing more protests coast to coast demanding a cease-fire in gaza. protesters blocked san francisco's bay bridge for hours. police say some even parked their cars tossed their keys into the bay. oren liebermann starts us off in tel aviv. will we see more evidence of this from the idf? will we? >> reporter: what the idf said they would provide. more evidence hamas was used or using the al-shifa hospital complex as cover for what they call terror infrastructure beloaned grounds. whether that's where hostages were held at the hospital is almost a different question. israel asserted so long hamas used the al-shifa complex as cover for a command and control headquarters, a facility, a complex, underneath the hospital, that that was clearly a major target of the operation. the first bit of evidence

they've put forward a couple days ago was simple weaponry. ammunition vests. in no way showed hamas used it and had infrastructure below it. now they're showing evidence of a tunnel shaft they say was an operational tunnel useds by hamas. geo located to within the complex. key question, what is inside that shaft? they say they found, you pointed out, weapons and ammunition in the area, but the key now is what is in there and can we get a look inside independently verify that and see what sort of complex is below the hospital. meanwhile, conditions in the hospital growing increasingliy dire. the director of the hospital told al jazeera doctors are making hair rrowing decisions. patients can't be prevented from infection. kidney dialysis facing strain, premature babies, all of that, worsens conditions inside the al-shifa complex. >> interesting hearing the prime minister talk about the rationale potential for hostages

having been at the hospital driving part of the decision to launch this operation. we spoke to an idf spokesman two days ago who said explicitly it wasn't about hostages. two bodies found. any sense what that means where they may be and where negotiations are? >> reporter: that's why i've pointed out the al-shifa complex for so long has been in israel's mind the hub of hamas' operation. why clearly a target of this ground incursion that we've seen going on for some weeks now. the idf saying recovers bodies of two israeli hostages who died in gaza near the al-shifa complex. most recent 65-year-old grandmother, her husband killed october 7th. she was taken hostage. her body brought out and identified. that announcement came yesterday. earlier today a young israeli soldier. her body brought out, noa mars

y marsiano. are there more in the area? seems to imply held in small numbers, because suggesting found differently, in different locations. one at a time. that makes the task trying to find the 238 or so other hostages still in gaza, that much more difficult, as sort of rumors and reports of a nearing hostage exchange or negotiations. still waiting on that to come tom fruition. >> oren liebermann reporting from tel aviv, thank you. to a cnn exclusive. special prosecutors looking into hunter biden's alleged failure to pay taxes. >> already issued a subpoena for the president's brother james biden, hunter's business associate. this means that the special counsel david weiss could be preparing to bring new charges in a second state as he previously used the federal grand jury in delaware. we have the report. how significant is it? >> reporter: pretty significant. hadn't seen this activity before. hadn't known about it in this

grand jury in california. a federal grand jury being used by the prosecutors from david weiss' appointed to look into hunter biden. they're subpoenaing multiple witnesses according to sources we're talking to, and those are for documents and for testimony. it's an active ongoing investigation out in los angeles. apparently around hunter biden's business dealings. now, one of the things that's really notable here, phil and poppy, we hadn't seen before, we do know of this subpoena to james biden, the president's brother, hunter biden's uncle. the connection those two men have, hunter biden and james biden is that they have some business connections, it's possible james biden had insight into the income that hunter biden was bringing in at a time where he wasn't really paying his taxes. so putting this together, we don't know exactly what the special counsel david weiss is looking at, whether he would bring charges and what the

charges might be, but the meaning of this is that he certainly is moving forward on what he indicated he would do before. which was, when the police fell apart for hunter biden he said, keep looking at tax issues and others perhaps somewhere else outside of delaware. >> how does this interact or play with the charges hunter biden's already facing in delaware? >> reporter: they could interact in a lot of different ways. namely, that hunter biden had that plea deal in delaware on some gun charges. ultimately he was indicted on those gun charges when that plea fell apart. that's going to trial. if charged with some sort of business crimes or tax crimes in california, if this grand jury approves indictment, he would have to face another trial potentially in california, or at least prepare for it against the special counsel's office. with that plea deal that existed in delaware, there was discussion whether he's immune to other charges. we'll see what his attorneys argue and what judges do. >> great reporting.

thank you. so it's a friday, and the government's open. that is good news. the government shutdown has been averted. that bar's not high anymore. president biden signed a short-term funding bill last night kicking down the can until january and february. >> a lot of clock opportunities ahead. >> a lot of clock opportunities. and signs of nikki haley's momentum in the republican primary. new polling from new hampshire and what it shows us about her campaign and the state of the race. plus this -- >> he lied to everybody. >> we sddeserve better. >> something wrong with the guy. >> george santos? ah! >> botox, hermes. onlyfans only one individual it bring all of these together -- to congress. >> just a few of expenses george santos accused pawning off on voters, enough to get him expelleded from the chchamber? wewe'll take a a look.

if he a congressman or a lesser kardashian. >> a.j.: shopping list of the 20

yard wife. stuck by him, alienated his own fans spending money on onlyfans. actually funny. a clever line. saga of congressman george santos has taken another, we'll go with "interesting" turn. the new york republican said he will not seek re-election after a scathing house ethics committee report released yesterday. panel uncovered additional "uncharged and unlawful conduct by santos goes beyond criminal allegations already pending against him and immediately refer them to the justice department." the report says santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his house candidacy for his own profit. using campaign funds, you heard from the comedians, not a joke. botox, designer clothes, lavish trips, purchases at sephora with campaign funding.

doesn't specifically call for santos' resignation. joining us, a political reporter and two others. shaking your head, "no." i don't want to assume anything, but this is all maybe not this egregious, and without the onlyfans stuff, out in the public domain a long period of time and a clear reason by house republican leadership has not wanted him out. >> uh-huh. >> they have a very narrow majority. >> that's right. yeah. i mean, look. the margin is difficult and very narrow but that said, this is an embarrassment. i mean, how can you not call for him to resign? >> it has been, for, like, a year. >> has been but worse all the time. talking about it the other day. another example why should anyone take the house seriously at this point? it's a performance. it's a reality show. i mean, i'm old enough to remember when the only people who could make fun of the house were the senate. right? >> yes. >> the only body more aghast was the senate.

now it's like we're all sort of looking at, i thought i elected you to serve the public and serve constituents? you're not to use campaign funds for your own personal gain, it's an embarrassment and mike johnson should call for his resignation. >> why isn't he? >> oh, math. math, math, math. simple math. another piece of this that we used to say, huh, coming up in washington, small staffers, washington was hollywood for ugly people. right? there's this -- >> why are you looking at me? not if you use a little botox. >> not saying george santos is physically ugly. i'm saying a lot of members of congress, and this is often what tragically congress has become for so many people. a place to become a celebrity. a place to become, george santos sunglasses cameras around him. never mind he's walking into court. never mind he's, you know, in serious legal trouble, in very

serious federal legal trouble. he's a celebrity now. people are talking about him. it's not just the celebrity justification of the congress, also the trumpification of the party. talking about you, you're winning. doesn't matter what they're saying. this is really undermining the esteemed nature how we used to see publish service as a real noble calls. >> on a collision course with reality. where the hollowness of celebrity as opposed to leadership is going to be brought home to him in a graphic way i think when he gets to court. look, eve fon for members of congress often using campaign funds to have a steak dinner with a campaign meeting with a lot of best friends, this is extreme. right? very hard to excuse luxury shopping and botox and so forth as opposed to a steak dinner with favorite donors. to that extent i think we'll see whether or not they take it very, very serious lily and kic him out or use him as an

example. precautionary tale for the next round of members of congress. >> switch to being extraordinarily bearish anybody but donald trump being the nominee. >> where's john avlon? we have a bet. >> swoop in and say, "i told you!" not yet john avlon. can you pass that on? >> yeah. >> something's happening. nikki haley. see it in several polls including the cnn new hampshire poll. trump has a 22-point lead. it's huge. haley, 20%, clear movement. seen it poll after poll after poll and in new hampshire in particular that matters. you know that state. you've worked there. it matters there. >> totally matters and a big jump. what's going to happen higher she goes bigger the bull's-eye is on her back. thinks people come for her now, wait until they start to even more aggressively tie her to trump and more aggressively go after her record. she's certainly made a bunch of

progress. i think things are about to get tough. >> great point seen from chris christie the last couple of days. our friend ben smith covered her campaign in 2010. what he wrote about her i thought was interesting. heard her comments, what she says are attacks on women in the past couple weeks. haley's grass roots gender politics is gretta ger b.i.g. leb.i.g. gerwig astute. you are scum, said in the debate to him. isn't about a slogan for that particular appeal. he writes never seen a politician better than haley turning a smear directed at her turned into a weapon. anyone with a shot against trump will need in their arsenal. what do you think, margaret? >> we've all seen that. studied her closely. uncanny ability to zero in. national security official in the last administration, when she was u.n. ambassador, american ambassador to the u.n. said was like a heat-seeking

missile for identifying issues and driving them home effectively. i would never underestimate nikki haley. of all the candidate aside from donald trump she is enormously politically adept in this, a very natural way. i think as we have seen especially in the republican primary, so much of the early states, not about the candidate, the delegates you're racking up. small numbers. it's all about momentum and this momentum carrying into beginning of the first contest i think is real and might just be a force in factor to stan winnowing the field around another candidate to trump. we know majority republicans primary voters want somebody other than trump. >> that's right. look, she also happens to check a lot of boxes. trump not doing well with women voters. nikki haley. trump not doing so well with professional voters. nikki haley. communities of color.

nikki haley. really she's positioned herself and timing couldn't have been better. in this last 90 days really before, the whole thing gets under way, to really try and see if she can be an alternative. that's the, the lock everybody's been trying to pick. how do you go at donald trump? can't do it by outing him, insulting him or imitating him, what ramaswamy tried to do. you can pick up elements of voting base never did and don't like donald trump, never really did like him that much and grab other people from his base. i don't know if i like her chances, but it's a rational, logical thing that seems to be paying off. >> noted on the 17th of november phil mattingly started to shift his position. >> shift. not a shift. irritating idea. >> thank you. >> anything rational logical, we don't do that anymore in my

country. >> i'm back in my spot. new report out of gaza, director of al-shifa hospital says children are starving. remember, still treating patients there, by the way. he says no access for milk for babies andnd a dire e situation unfoldlding there,e, we dive i thatat, next.

so you're looking right there at new video filmed by the idf given to cnn. israel says it show as tunnel shaft inside the al-shifa hospital complex. idf says this is evidence hamas was using the hospital as a command center. the hamas-run government in gaza calls that claim by israel a baseless lie. cnn geo located the video and can't independently verify the idf or hamas claims nor able to get in touch with people inside the hospital right now, but in the wake of the idf going into that hospital, that raid, the question of hamas' possible operations at al-shifa is crucial. right? hospitals are protected from attack under international humanitarian law, but, that protection only goes so far. it can be temporarily revoked, if the hospital is being used by combatants to commit acts of war. right now communications

services are down in gaza. cnn unable to reach its contacts on the ground. u.n. says this is due to a lack of fuel to run generators. david harden is with us served in the west bank and israel from 2005 until 2016. you have had eyes and ears and were on the ground and you know al-shifa hospital really well. does this track -- i know you can't say what's happening now, but does this track with your experience there? >> thank you for having me, poppy. i mean, this is a litmus test for the israelis, and either they're able to present the evidence to independent observers, like cnn, like nic robertson, able to get down there and kind of check it out, and there will be sufficient evidence that it was a fundamental command and control center for hamas, or it isn't. but at end of the day, this will kind of shape the israeli's

credibility now and going forward. so we will find this out. i mean, al-shifa has long been rumored to be a base for hamas operations. >> right. you wrote about this as far back at 2014, and in that conflict. israelis and palestinians telling you they suspected hamas had major operations there in the hospital. can you help people understand how they could actually do that, in one of the biggest -- by wait one of the most technologically advanced hospitals, within gaza. how? if this is the case. how was hamas able to do that? just accepted, because it had to be? by powerless ability to fight in gaza? >> first thing to remember, this is a very large complex with many buildings over a big area. and so, you know, whether or not there was a sufficient command center underneath the hospital, outside of the view of the patients and the medical staff,

we will find out. we don't know, but it was -- it was long suspected that hamas was operating in al-shifa, and, by the way, i know for a fact they used ambulances at times as well, to kind of escape attacks. >> hmm. >> these are the issues i think we see in front of us. >> david, i want your response to what the united nations human rights chief told cnn about these competing claims. listen to this. >> we cannot rely on one or the other party when it comes to this. this is precisely where you need and independent international investigation, because we have different narratives, and as i said, international law is clear. you cannot use civilian especially hospitals for any military purposes but you can also not attack a hospital in the absence of clear evidence that, you know, there are issues. >> i wonder what your response is to that? talking about what is laid out

in the geneva convention. how high is the bar, david, for israel to have said, okay, we have to go in? >> i mean i think it is going to have to be clear to some independent observers outside of israel that this was a sufficient base of operations. i think it would be acceptable certainly to the biden administration that it, you know, that the united states has kind of independent eyes and i think for the world, it would be very useful for international media to be able to kind of look at the evidence and to probe it and push it. i will say kind of, you know, a small set of arms and one mri element is not enough. it's got to be a very big use of the hospital complex in order to allow for the proportionate attack that we just saw. one other thing i will say is that the israelis have an obligation and a duty to all the patients that are there and the

medical staff. so they in essence own this hospital now, and they have to provide the fuel and the water and the medicine and the services that the patients need. >> that's a really good point, because we're hearing from doctors that the babies don't even have enough milk. david harden, thank you given your expertise in the region. >> thank you. reports of anti-semitism at america's universities the department of education is taking action. ahead, the new investigation launched into several colleges. also, sean "diddy" combs accused of rape and rearsyears abuse filed by his girlfriend cassie and also his denial. ahead.

former girlfriend of sean "diddy" combs suing him ober being abused a number of years. cassandra ventura says she was lured into this after being signed under his record label bad boy. you would know her from

performing name as cassie. famous, cltalented. the complaint is stunning when you read it. >> pretty big allegations diddy was physically violent towards her controlled all aspects of her life forced her into sex trafficking acts and tried to leave him in 2018 forced his way into her home and raped her. now, they met back in 2005 when she was 19. he was 37. that was when, as she describes, a lifestyle of heavy drug abuse and alcohol began. effects she still feels today. her statement put out after years in silence and darkness i'm finally able to tell my story and speak up on behalf of myself and benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships. i should also mention this comes ahead of a crucial deadline. last year the new york adult survivors act was put a into effect.

allowing adult survivors to come forward even if statute of limit aces passed. now that act is set to expire next week. getting it out now was very crucial in that regard. >> diddy's lawyer responded. what do they say? what's next here? >> you can imagine completely denying what they're calling outrageous claims. read you part of their statement that says, for the past six months mr. combs, diddy harks b, ventura's demands writing a book unequivocally blackmail. despite withdrawing that she file add lawsuit riddled with baseless and outlandish lies to tarnish client's reputation. seeking damages as part of this but also range and scope of these allegations clearly detail an experience she says she had over the course of what was more than a decade at this point.

and basically a time period that she wants diddy held accountable for. >> keep a close eye on this. thank you. >> of course. protesters in the united states taking their calls for a cease-fire in gaza to the streets. demonstrations from coast to coast. that's the bay bridge in san francisco. running a marathon is hard, seriously. hard enough as it is. even harder with 30 pounds of body gear. later this hour, i inspiring sty of chicagogo police officer'r's tributute run. stay w with us.

there are more protests expected today here in new york city calling for a cease-fire in gaza. this after several demonstrations yesterday from boston. san francisco protesters urging lawmakers to push for israel to stop its war in gaza. we've also learned president biden's campaign staff at the democratic national committee in d.c. after a day of violent protests erupted outside there, told the president thanked his staff and praised law enforcement for keeping everyone safe. turning to us now friend and colleague cnn's victor blackwell, also host of a great, new show, first with victor blackwell. 8:00 a.m. eastern time on saturdays right here. good to see you. seeing so much of that and interesting polling that sort of backed some of this up. new npr poll saying 38% feel

israel's response is too much. up from october. >> seeing 56% of democrats say what the idf done in gaza is too much. listen, as the war goes on to state the obvious, this becomes more difficult for the president. you saw two dozen members in the house, democrats, send this letter to the president urging for this cease-fire to be negotiated, and some of them had never publicly supported a cease-fire. they cite the numbers impacting children. according to the u.n., 4,500 killed. 1,700 missing. more than 7,600 injured and must be cessation of hostilities here. you point out the protest outside the dnc headquarters wednesday. one of the members inside, california congressman brad sherman, posted on x that there

were anti-israel proce-terroris outside. journalists outside didn't see or hear anything that they report was pro-terrorist. this is coming down to obviously the split there in congress, but what does this mean for the president from the voters? increase crewingly seeing rhetorical shift seen from the president and from secretary blinken deem it insufficient. i'm had on the show and correspondents interviewed same people protested in 2015 president trump the posed muslim ban and showed up, mobilized people at airports in 2017 when there was the restriction placed on people coming in to the country, are condemning the president's handling of this. one was about immigration. another about life and death. where will these voters go in november of 2024? that still is to be seen. as discussed polls show this is really politically fraught for

the president and maybe beyond the president, does this extend into some of those crucial house and senate races based on what comes down the pike from funding? >> the representative critical elements of the coalition as well. civil rights attorney ben crump, you'll have him on, talk about mississippi. what are the pressing questions? >> dexter wade, 37-year-old man in jackson, mississippi, will be buried on monday. that will be his second burial, because back in march of this year, his mother reported him missing on march 14th. nine days earlier, on march 5th, he was actually struck by an off-duty jackson police officer and killed. they identified him from something in his pocket. they tried to contact, or they say, his mother, she says never got any contact and buried him without notification to his

family in a pauper's grave. not until -- remember, given information about him days after identifying him and didn't find out until august. we have ben crump, we have his mother on to talk about what those months were like. what they want from the police officers, and how this could have happened that they had an identified person, also a missing-person report matching dexter wade, and they could not give notification before they buried him. there is now an independent autopsy, ben crump says he ordered, revealing really disappointing findings for the family. we'll try to get to the bo ttom of this. police department putting in changing to be better about notification. how did this happen? >> very important story. victor blackwell, watch every saturday. thanks for joining us as always on a friday. be sure to catch with victor blackwell at 8:00 thomorrow rigt

raised more than $2,000 and says remembering those who gave it yo their all. a heavy load. >> how did it feel crossing the finish line? >> amazing. best accomplishment in my life. >> reporting for cnn, chicago. >> wonderful. ahead, alarming rise of anti-semitism and islamic phobia and what the government is now doing. new video what it says is a hamas opening at al-shifa hospital. live in n israel. stay with h us.

we have exclusive new reporting. the department of education launched investigations into seven schools after complaints about alleged incidents of antisemitism and islamophobia. the investigations include five

antisemitism cases and two islamophobia cases mopping the schools, k through 12 in kansas, cornell, columbia, the university of pennsylvania. a rise in tension over the israel/hamas war. joining us to discuss this, education secretary miguel cardona. appreciate your time. you said in the past that there was an uptick in basically the filing of concerns about this. how many investigations do you think that will lead to? we already have these initial batch. are more coming? >> i anticipate more coming. thank you for having me here, phil. first of all, we take the responsibility very seriously to protect students' freedom to learn in an environment free of hate and the feeling of threatening. we spoke to students at different universities. we have been at over five different states, listened to parents and students who feel under attack and threatened, learning. we take that very serious.

we are a civil rights agency. we are protecting the students' right to learn. >> the hammer you have in your toolkit is to cut off federal funding. there are steps before that. >> sure. >> what would lead you to cut off funding? >> if an institution refuses to follow the law protect students, we would withhold dollars. that said, as you mentioned, i haven't spoken to a college leader that doesn't want to do everything they can. right now we are helping, giving them resources. we have resources we put together making accessible on our website. we want to be open and transparent with the process of providing support. i met with college leaders, superintendents, later today i have a meeting in new york with another group of leaders. the goal is to build the capacity and be direct that that's a responsibility as a leader to protect students. >> you have been in education your entire career. you have been traveling the country the last several weeks as this moment, which i think is

extraordinarily complex, but also very tense. have you ever seen it like this before? >> no, the level of intensity is very high. we need to match it with a level of response that moments the moment. we need to be listening to the students, let them know that they will be safe in our schools, we are not tolerating hate or threats on campus. so it is intense. but we are committed to making sure that they feel safe, their parents feel supported, making sure that the children are safe. many students 300 miles away from their parents. i talked to a student at us townsend university. she broke down. i want all parents to feel their kids are safe and we are doing everything in our power to protect them. >> what is the message to parents now? to your point, i can't imagine having a kid in college right now. it would be terrifying. >> your child should be unapologetic about who they are,

shouldn't have to hide their identity to learn on campus or a k-12 institution and it's our responsibilities to protect them and we are doing everything in our power to enforce that and if we see there are places not doing to we are going to open up an investigation, provide support, open up an investigation to make sure that we're doing our job as educators. >> how do you find the balance in the sense of free speech versus discrimination? it's been a gray area forever. it's not easier to figure out now. you have teams and enforcement power here. is there a threshold? >> we are bringing together college leaders and k-12 leaders and we are getting great examples. colleges should be places where students could express themselves. it's okay to have different beliefs. it's okay to express those different beliefs. when it becomes a threat to students or when students can't feel safe walking from their dorm to their classroom because they are afraid they are going to get harmed, that's unacceptable. we must protect students at all costs.

>> i want to ask you -- i think this ties together. >> there have been a bunch of stories about the viral nature of a tiktok video, people reading the letter from osama bin laden. stunning to those of us who were alive during 9/11 and millions have viewed it. does that say something about the education system, about social media platforms, about algorithms? how do you fview that as the education secretary? >> it is stunning. i was a school principal when that happened. that impacted how we taught and protected students that day. i do believe it is a lot -- there is a lot of misinformation. we have a responsibility collectively to make sure we are guiding students how to look for misinformation, how to be educated consumers of education and we need to continue to work with parents to make sure they are aware of what tools they have at their disposal to limit misinformation from students and protect their students. >> last one before i let you go. we talked about the complaints.

there has been an uptick. what do universities need to know to avoid something like? ? i assume you are in constant conversations with them. in this moment, i if guess what's the threshold for the investigations that have been launched? >> they have to be open and honest about what's happening on the campus, communicate with students, families, be visible, and recognize that while students do have the right to express themselves, there is a threshold that has to be communicated very clearly what they can't do. the resources online are available to them. our offices are available for technical consist assistance. we want to support them. at the end the day, if they are not protecting students, we will investigate. if we have to, we will withhold dollars. >> it is clear they know the line, you lay out the line, you detailed the line. >> and if they cross the line or the line is crossed, they should be aware? >> there is a line based on their situation they are getting the support that they need but they need to be clear. >> secretary miguel cardona,

appreciate it, sir. a jury unanimously found david depape guilty of attacking paul pelosi, former house speaker nancy pelosi's husband. dak prescott was convicted. he hit the 83-year-old in the head with a hammer in october of last year leaving mr. pelosi hospitalized for six days with a fractured skull and other injuries. he testified tuesday, apologized and explained some of the conspiracy theories that motivated his actions an now faces up to 50 years in prison. a judge declared a mistrial for the former louisville police officer charge inside the shooting of breonna taylor. the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
