6:01 am
handmade france. so if you've go keepsake app, we would love a chance to frame it for you. >> i'm pete muntean at reagan national airport. >> this is cnn >> bringing, in big money president biden's campaign just released how much they have epr last month and how much they now have on hand. and they're happy to bragg this morning. >> and new developments this morning in the disappearance of an 11 year-old girl in texas. police are now questioning a family friend with a long criminal history. >> and a ruling from alabama supreme court on frozen embryos. now raising fears among fertility experts and reproductive health after this and topples how the decision could have a huge impact on idf clinics in the state. i'm sara sider with kate baldwin and fredricka whitfield. john berman is on assignment this is cnn news central
6:02 am
>> if money talks, president biden's campaign has a lot to talk about right now this morning the campaign is touting a historic amount of cash on hand after a big january hall they're reporting more than $42 million. was raised last month. and there are now jumping in through february with $130 million of cash sean hat biden's about to also leave the white house for another fundraising swing out west. let's get over to cnn's arlette sayyed. she's at the white house for us arlette, talk to me more about what the campaign is reporting out this morning and what it means for what is very, what it means today and also what is most definitely assured to be a very tough general election fight. >> yeah, kate, the biden campaign is really building up a sizable campaign. war chest is they are preparing for a very pricey race against what they expect to be there gop opponent former president
6:03 am
donald trump, those numbers that you ran through $42 raised in january alone. and the fact that they are ending the month the $130 million in the bank really are the latest sign that the parties, a donor class, a standing behind president biden, even as there are deep anxieties about his reelection bid, it all comes as the president is set to depart in just a few hours for a three-day fundraising swing through california that will include events in santa monica like a also los altos hills in silicone valley, and san francisco where he said to appear at a high dollar fundraiser with former house speaker nancy pelosi, but it's just one source has told me that that fundraising swing could bring in as much as 10 million. really pointing to the power of those high dollar fundraisers there is, but the biden campaign has also been working to churn out more donations from small dollar grassroots donors january the campaign announced was actually the campaigns most successful
6:04 am
month and fundraising from those small-dollar donors, just a run through a few of the numbers that they're seeing. they found i've had 422,000 unique donors in the month of january alone, 97% of the campaigns donations have been under $200 is the beginning of the campaign, and they also have these reoccurring donors 158,000 committing to donate each month campaign spokesperson, a tj ducklo said in a statement, quote, this hall will go directly to reaching the voters who will decide this election. that's reason number 355 million that we are confident president biden and vice president harris will win this november, that 355 million, is a direct jab taken at former president donald trump, who will have to pay that amount as a result of that new york civil fraud case. but really former president trump has also been an animating factor for many of these donors. if you take a look at some of the fundraising appeals at the campaign has done, they brought in nearly $1 million a day and the three days after trump won the iowa
6:05 am
caucuses, there was another event where the president had gone on to criticize trump for quite forcefully that brought in at 1.6 million. and when you talk to donors, that is really one of the animating factors that is also driving much of their thinking as they are standing behind biden at this time for what's expected to be a very expensive race >> absolutely. arlette, thank you so much. let's at the white house for us today. sir. >> of course, kate president biden, not the only candidate filing his campaign war chest. nikki haley raised 16.5 million dollars in january as she heads into a primary race in her home state. of course, this weekend. and at last check donald trump's campaign had 33 million on hand to spend both haley and trump making campaign stops in south carolina today we're haley set to deliver her state of the race speech. cnn's eva mckend is following this for us this morning. what can we expect to hear from our this is her home state, but she does not necessarily have the home-state advantage according to polling numbers >> sara, we know that she's
6:06 am
focused on a unity message telling voters that she is the one that can unify the country. it's the focus of her latest campaign, ad show the extent that we can measure if this is working, i can tell you democrats are showing up to her, her rallies. so that is an indication that her message has a broader appeal than just the average republican voter. it's not uncommon, for instance, to meet people at her rallies, even in south carolina, who voted for president biden in 20 2020. >> but she's >> expected to continue to essentially tell voters that she's in it for the long haul. and part of that strategy has been confronting the former president, arguing, trump is too distracted to engage the voters that republicans will need in a general election. she's also steady on resisting this pressure campaign from the republican establishment to get out of the race. and then she also has her eyes on super tuesday. she has indicated that no matter what happens, this weekend with only five days to
6:07 am
go until the south carolina primary. she's also focused on super tuesday states she has the money to continue to run the risks and then she's also on the ground in those state cheese in places campaigning in texas, for instance, continuing to make her case to voters, sara and i know you'll be watching the details and bring those to us when you get them, even mckend. thank you so much for all your work out there, fred. >> all right, sara, this morning, new cnn reporting a napa valley winery host is confirming key testimony by the georgia district attorney process the kidding donald trump attorneys for trump and some of his co-defendants say fulton county da fani willis should be disqualified for allegedly benefiting financially from her relationship with lead prosecutor nathan wade, will add a hearing last week. willis tested the fight that she reimbursed wade for meals and trips cnn's zach cohen is joining us now. so zach, you spoke with the host of a napa winery and it was one that both
6:08 am
weight and willis visited. he says he remembers willis paying cash. why is that significant >> yeah. fred, when fani willis took the stand last week, she pushed back on these allegations that she benefited financially from her relationship with nathan wade by arguing that they had a reciprocal relationship and understanding that she would pay for things when they went on these lavish vacations, including a vacation in napa valley. but the problem is there was no paper trail documenting those payments. that's why the my interview with stan brody is important because it does corroborate at least part of fani willis is testimony that there was no paper trail because she used cash cash, and stamp brody remember is when fani willis and nathan wade visited a winery in napa valley in 2023. and when it came time to foot the bill, fani willis pulled out $400 roughly in cash from her purse and paid for both her and wade. take a listen to what stand birdie told me when i talked to him about his interaction with willis and wade we ran up to saying and i
6:09 am
showed her i was expecting a credit card, quite frankly, and now she's i'll pay cash and so that was sad. so i just put the cash and may change for and she was very generous to me >> so ultimately brody is just one additional voice in a sea of a lot of voices here. and but the reason that cash payments have come into focus is because this issue of financially benefiting from her relationship with weighed, it could derail the entire georgia case. it threatens to disqualify fani willis and judge mcafee, the judge overseeing this case has to make a decision. is there enough evidence to support disqualifying fani willis or will he essentially set the case back on track by keeping her in place? this issue of financial benefit is really at the center of all of that all right is that cohen thank you so much, kate >> also new this morning, we're getting a new look. i first look at a new analysis rather of a north korean ballistic missile recovered last month in kharkiv, ukraine so here's what's so specific and important about it. the new report finds that many of the
6:10 am
components that that missile fired in that missile that was fired by the russian military, they were traced back to american and european companies, seen as natasha bertrand has this new reporting and for us this morning, the tasha tell us more about what you're learning yeah. >> so this uk based investigative organization which examines weaponry used on various battlefields, particularly those in ukraine day examined a north korean ballistic missile that was used by the russians in ukraine in the city of kharkiv last month and they directly examined it and they found that the vast majority of the components inside this missile were actually traced back to the united states and europe. they were designed and sold by companies incorporated in the united states, europe, and asia with the vast the majority, 75% of these components being made in the united states. and so this is very significant of course, because at further underscores this very vexing problem facing saying the biden administration and its allies in that the north koreans, the iranians, even the russians,
6:11 am
they are able to make these very deadly weapons using very cheap and widely available components that once they enter the global supply chain, are extremely difficult to track things like mike, michael girl electronics, and semiconductors that essentially power these missiles. for example, the components that this organization examined, they primarily made up the navigation system of this missile and it really is an issue because while the north koreans and the iranians are continuing to supply the russians with these missiles and drones that are using these widely available components found in the west the us of course, has been unable to continue supplying the ukrainians because of the fact that the supplemental funding in congress remains stalled. and so while the russians they're able to continue getting weaponry and equipment from these bad actors who are in turn able to find these very cheap and widely available components on the global market. the us still stalled in
6:12 am
what is able to give to the ukrainians so that they can defend themselves? helps cave and hotshot. >> great reporting. thanks you so much good to see you, sir. >> all right. thank you, kate, the urgent search for missing 11 year-old girl in texas is now focusing on a family friend we're police say this person of interest last saw audrey county. an emotional plea from alexey navalny's mother to vladimir putin with lease, her son's body. now, this as the late activist brother is now on russia's most wanted list. also a credit card takeover. what a 35 deal between capital one and discover could mean for cardholders, will tell you all about it coming up >> vegas, the story of sensitive. sunday at ten on cnn, there's nothing better than i'm a subway series foot-long, except when you add on all new foot-long sidekick, like the philly, what a new $2

appearance in just a few hours, 25 year-old nicholas jordan is facing two counts of first-degree murder. prosecutors say he killed a student, any young woman at the university of colorado springs dorm room last friday. cnn's lucy kafanov has the very latest on that investment good morning. no word yet on the why the motive, but the university of colorado colorado springs has confirmed to cnn that the suspect was a fellow students he was identified by police as 25 year-old nicholas jordan, originally from detroit, michigan. they believed that he was responsible for last friday's fatal shooting of two people, a young man and a young woman in that dorm room. >> he >> was apprehended, arrested shortly after found being found inside a vehicle on monday, he was taken in to custody without any sort of incident according to police authorities, indicated that the suspect and these victims may have known one another. in fact, the police had previously said that
6:21 am
this was quote, not a random attack against the school or other students at this university authorities, however, did not go into how they were able to identify him so quickly, but they did say that they obtained the arrest warrant on friday evening, the same day that these shootings took place, which effectively means this invisible is on the loop, on the loose. pardon me for for two days. and so there were growing questions about why authorities didn't reveal more information about his identity before apprehending him. the colorado springs cheap police was asked about this. take a listen >> i have to really balance what what we provide to the community with public interest in public, public trust the safety of the public. and i fully understand that, but the investigation has to be able to move forward. and our goal is well, ensuring that public safety now, as for the victims, both were already deceased when police arrived on the scene on friday, the woman

6:27 am
coventry direct redefining insurance anderson cooper 360 tonight at eight on cnn how, is the biden campaign feeling this morning? one way you may be able to gauge that in this moment is to count the dollar signs has reported the top of the show, the biden harris team, the campaign raked in more than $42 in january and fundraising that's in january which now brings their cash on hand to a historic $130 million that's the largest amount for democratic candidate at this point in the cycle, joining me right now is the co-chair of president biden's reelection campaign. the former democratic mayor of new orleans mitch landrieu, merits good to see you. 42 million in january, 130 now, million cash on hand it's hard to make a direct comparison. we were trying to were doing some digging is hard
6:28 am
to make a direct comparison to republicans and trump right now as they have not released their numbers for the month, but they started the year with less and there spending big on donald trump's legal bills. we do know those two things. >> does this >> money well, this historic hall, does it make up for the bad polling, the tough polling, which continues to plague president biden well, first of all, enthusiasm is always measured in how many contributions you get in how much money you're able to raise. and so by any measure, no matter who you compare it to, it's the best that we've seen in this quarter ever. as you said? before, you don't have to go too far to make comparisons that makes sense. donald trump just got hit with, i think a $400 civil fine on top of another one sometime early than that. and while the president of the united states was working really hard on basically doing the things that are important to the united states of america. donald trump was selling tennis shoes so i mean, you could just look at both of those things and say, what do you think's have in the better day? i understand that
6:29 am
the concern about the polls you see this actually for both candidates. but essentially as this campaign heats up, you're going to have to make a choice between two very, very different people in two very, very, very different visions for the country and for the world. donald trump wakes up every day thinking about himself. he thinks about oppression, he thinks about revenge. he thinks about how to hurt other people. he thinks about how to get back at them. he thinks about how to do things that helps himself, joe biden, failing to a lot of voters, how to fight for the american people? >> i'm. sorry >> and that message, i will be i will be your vengeance. i will be your retribution is appealing to a lot of voters. you could see it in the bowling well it's appealing. it, it's appealing to some voters in the polls. but on election day, when, when vote folks go into that booth, american citizens are going to step up to the plate and they're going to vote for somebody that's protecting their freedom. they're going to vote for somebody that's providing jobs for them. they're going to vote for somebody like joe biden, who who's done an incredible job in his first term as president of the united states. that's
6:30 am
what i believe is going to happen. and we have every indication that we're moving in the right direction and we feel very good about where we are. there's no question that can't campaigns are our hard fought. we're in, we're in a moment right now in this country that we have not been in the last 50 years. but the choice could not be clearer and that's what the fight is about, and that's what the campaign is going to be about. >> you were just in michigan yesterday for the campaign receded to leave democratic congresswoman. she put out a video calling on democrats in michigan to vote uncommitted in the michigan primary. did do so in protest of president biden's handling of israel's war against hamas i want to play for you what the democratic congressman said >> right now, we feel completely mclaughlin neglected and just unseen by our government. if you want us to be louder they come here and bow uncommitted >> what does that mean for you all michigan >> well, first of all, as you said, i was in michigan
6:31 am
yesterday. i was with senator stabenow. i was with congressman kildee. we have a huge amount of support in michigan, michigan's a critically important state i had the opportunity to meet with representatives from teachers. i met with representatives from law enforcement, both of whom we're very thankful to the president for the commitments of his made there. i spent time with local 3-20 for a lot of the guys that actually building all of the projects that the president has funded through the bipartisan infrastructure law, creating 350,000 jobs. i was in flint, michigan yesterday with the mayor talking about the work that the president has done to make sure that people have clean air and clean water with the lead pipes and the response was really, really good our respect congresswoman tlaib, it's a very complicated, difficult problem right now, the israeli gaza conflict, as you know, is complicated. it's hard. the president hears them, understands them is working very hard. on trying to get the hostages released and getting humanitarian aid into that conflict. it's just very, very difficult he feels in be sent three senior officials there the other day, and that compensation is going to
6:32 am
continue. and the president is going to continue to work to protect america's interests while at the same time being opened an epic thetic, to the thoughts and feelings that have been expressed by the congresswoman. >> and look a protest vote and democratic primary in this cycle, it might not have a real impact, but if that bleeds into and becomes a i'm not going to show up to vote in a general in michigan that could have real impact for sure. i want to ask you also before i let you go, democratic senator joe manchin, he was on cnn just last night and he announced for one, he announced that he is not going to run for president. he's not going to launch a third-party bid though that had been rumored rumored, and you've kinda toyed with it. >> he also said >> that he is not ready to endorse president biden for president. he did call donald trump and extremist in the next breath. but on the question of endorsing president biden, he just kept saying, i'm not endorsing anybody yet, quote, we'll see what happens what do you read into that
6:33 am
>> not much. i mean, that's a look. i know joe manchin a long time. we served as lieutenant governors together. i worked with him when i was a senior adviser to the president on if the structure i would remind everybody that you used to during that enrolls infrastructure to talk to joe. i talked to joe manchin a lot and i haven't talked to him in the last couple of weeks, but i know him well. and joe manchin always holds his cards close to his vest. his view is that, you know, the sensible middle needs to rule. i would just remind everybody he's got 90% of the current thing, but there's one real democratic candidate brooke. >> brooke, let me, let let me finish. joe joe manchin, this is what you mentioned. does he does this all the time? he waits until the end, but what i want to remind everybody, it's we're in february, the elections in november to expect everything to be the way it isn't. november 7 is unrealistic and the bedwetting just gets exhausting over some period of time the president has it's to make his case to the american people. joe manchin is going to make his
6:34 am
case to the american people from the perspective that he is all feel fairly confident the end of the day, whether joe manchin says he's going to endorse the president and not when he goes in that booth, he is not voting for donald trump when he is not not voting. and so you can conclude from that, what you think is going to happen in my full expectation is that at the end of the day when joe manchin knowing his character and what he thinks about sees the choice between donald trump who thinks about himself and joe biden and thinks about the american people. he will be there when it works for him. and you can't push people on that timing. so it didn't surprise me at all. i'm surprised that you're surprised, given given how much you know how this, given how much you know about how the system works, i'm not saying i'm surprised, i'm just saying when you get a chance to say you want to endorse the democratic candidate when you're democrat, sometimes you might want to take it. it's good to see them. >> thanks for coming in. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> thank you, fred. >> all right. kate new this morning, alexey navalny's mother has released an emotional video appealing directly to russian president vladimir putin, standing in
6:35 am
front of the penal colony where her son died she pleaded for the release of his body >> the mice finland, behind me is the ik three polar wolf colony, where my son, alexei navalny, died on february 16 i haven't been able to see him for five days. they won't give me his body. they don't even tell me where he is. i'm addressing you vladimir putin the solution to the issue depends only on you let me finally see my sunday. i demand that alex's body be immediately handed over so that i can bury him humanely. >> also this morning, alexei navalny's younger brother has been added to russia's wanted list for unspecified charges. and in the last hour, we've learned that alexei navalny's wife had her twitter account i'm suspended and then restored cnn's melissa bell joining me right now. so melissa, there's a lot there. what do you know >> because right, fred, are you
6:36 am
luck going on this morning in the wake of what we heard from the kremlin, which was again pushing back on any suggestion, alexei navalny's death might have been caused by authorities are might've had anything untoward about it in the shape of dmitry peskov comments this morning and in the wake of that so much happened, we saw that extraordinary video appeal from alexei navalny's mother nearly 70 sending their outside the penal colony in russia's far north. where's sun is now known to have taken his last breaths at the end of last week demanding the release of his corpse something that had been reflected as well, it a message posted to x by alexey navalny's now widow, again, pushing back on the comments that have been made by dmitry peskov, the kremlin earlier that morning, accusing the kremlin of twisting her words and again, calling for the urgent release of her husband's corpse and he was shortly after that that her account was suspended. now, we haven't heard we've reached out to x to try to figure out why for awhile it was indicated

6:43 am
opinion, alabama supreme court associate justice j. mitchell wrote, carving out an exception for the people in this case, small as they were, would be unacceptable to the people of the state who have required us to treat every human being in accordance with the fear of a holy god who made them in his image justice greg cooke wrote a dissent saying no court anywhere in the country has reached the conclusion. the main opinion reaches and the main opinions holding almost certainly ends the creation of frozen embryos threw in vitro fertilization in the state of alabama, joining us now is barbara kaltura, the ceo of resolve and national infertility organization. thank you so much for joining us first off, can you tell us how this ruling in your opinion effects couples who are seeking in vitro fertilization treatment in the state of alabama well first of all, sara, thank you so much for covering this story and we our hearts break for those couples who lost their embryos. we had
6:44 am
tremendous empathy for them. but for the people in alabama today who need ivf treatment, who may even have frozen embryos stored in the state. we are very, very concerned. we are concerned if the physicians that health care providers will be able to continue their care. we don't know what the what the likely outcome is going to be for care in the state. but we are very, very concerned and people in the state of alabama should be concerned about their future ability to get ivf treatment >> even the alabama medical association has said that it will have an impact on people who want to do in vitro. i want to ask you this the way the court is ruling on this has to do with the abortion debate, where life beginins. here's a little bit more of what the court said. it said it applies to to all children born and unborn without limitation the court continued is not the role of this court craft a new limitation based on our own
6:45 am
view of what is or is not wise public policy that is especially true where as here, the people of the state have adopted a constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding unborn life from legal protection. how concerned should couples be in this state if they want to go, if they're in the process of ivf or if they want to take part in using ivf to try and have a baby? >> it should be very concerned. a frozen embryo, which is a clump of cells sara, you can't even see it with the naked eye. you need a microscope. so now the court is saying that that's a person. can we freeze embryos? i don't know. can you freeze the person? what will happen to all of those embryos? what will happen? and if people who need this care are our advice right now to folks in alabama is a need to talk to their health care providers they need to be very concerned about the future of their ability to get care in this state and potentially, we might

see this spread into other states as well. right now we're focused on alabama we have a lot of questions. but to consider that that group of cells, a living human being, is flies in the face of science and everything. we know about this process. >> for people who are unaware, can you just give us some sense just as we end here of how the process works. because once you have the embryo, do people have more than one embryo that, that is created can a couple basically say, look, we've had one child, we do not want the other embryos. what happens to them? how does it work before the supreme court made this decision there in alabama? >> yeah. you're exactly right. the goal of ivf is to create as many embryos as possible so that you have the greatest number of attempts at pregnancy remember, not every embryo results in a live birth. so we need to get as many embryos as possible. we transfer one at a time. into the woman's uterus once they are done with their family building, those embryos

are the rights of the people who created them. they may decide to donate them to someone else. they may decide to donate them to medical science. they may keep them frozen, but they are their choice to do. now we simply don't know who has the rights here. >> barbara kila, it sounds like there's a lot more questions and there are answers when you're dealing with the actual work of ivf. and now what to do after the supreme court ruling there in alabama. thank you so much. and for coming on and explaining all of that to us. we appreciate your time. >> absolutely. thank you >> okay. >> two of the largest credit card companies in the united states, joining forces the deal that could impact hundreds of millions of credit card holders very soon headliner las vegas >> that's what i >> want to do. >> it's unlike anywhere else in the world. >> vegas, the story of sin city

6:54 am
what i thought was really interesting. capital one just issues the credit card, but discover issues the credit card and then processes all the fees. so they got all those merchant fees. so now capital one is about to make a ton of money off of those money off a ton of money and obviously they want to remain these two companies want to remain competitive in this landscape where they're not that many credit card companies, they believe that this merger is good for shareholders ultimately, but for the consumer, all of us who may have a discover card or capital one card, nothing is going to change just yet, because this does have to go through through regulatory approval. capital one optimistic that this deal will close at the end of this year, maybe early next year. but for consumers, we pick credit cards probably based on perks. people are obsessed with their credit card sharks. >> capital one saying that if you're a discover card holder, you're probably not going to lose any of those perks who really love. you may actually gain some parks through what
6:55 am
capital one offers through cashback. you may see a change in the name of your credit card and about a year or so if this deal goes through but ultimately, if this merger happens, discover capital one will have to give all of us a 45 day heads up for any changes that may be coming. so the consumer does have an opportunity to make a decision about whether this is right for them. >> i'm going to say yes, they may be optimistic if a deal is going to go through. i would not expect them to say not optimistic. you're exactly right, but there is a very likely to be real regulatory scrutiny on this, any kind of big birds were like this obviously gets to the question of competition and they have a lot of eyes on it. what are you hearing about it? >> absolutely. there is some concern that because you're having these two companies, these two huge credit card companies merge. there's talk of monopoly that could be concerning. it really depends on just how much the ftc wants to put their feet to the fire. they say that they've done a lot of due diligence. they say that they're financing is he's in place here. but ultimately
6:56 am
it is up to the ftc and discover and capital one while they are remaining optimistic that this is going to be good for them in their customers. we have to wait a year to find out if this deal is really going to go through, you know, hope springs eternal for all, optimism is wonderful, beautiful thing when it can be achieved it's going thank you, sir. >> what is happening and what do you guys must be the flats. what is happening over here? why am i in such a good mood? i know, so i don't i don't know what to say. >> it's nice to see late all right. >> just ahead there is the latest from spain were officials are now searching for a missing american woman. the details on that just ahead die him not guilty. >> i am resigning administration officials destroyed my cover. >> politics. we're great power meets questionable decision making. >> and then on faceless from iowa, backroom deals, cia see
