>> stepping down, senator mitch mcconnell says he will going to have more on this washington shakeup. all of it live from capitol hill and more developed big news off the hill. hunter biden, the president's son in the hot seat >> what he's being >> grilled about by lawmakers behind closed doors in the impeachment investigation in bruce bother. >> and this massive wildfire burning out of control in texas, flames tearing through homes residents being forced to evacuate to. we're following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central
11:02 am
>> it is the end of an era on capitol hill. senator mitch mcconnell says he will step down as the republican senate leader in november, closing out his reign as the law i'm just serving senate leader in history for any party. we're told that his fellow gop senators gave him a standing ovation at the lunch after his announcement today. but even with that show of unity, there's no denying that he's stepping aside after repeatedly butting heads with the now dominant donald trump wing of the party. and as republicans grapple with serious divisions on issues like ukraine and abortion rights cnn's manu raju is on the hill for us. manu, what more do we know about this decision? >> yeah, this was a decision that startled many of his own members, even though this was, in some ways not a surprise, it was still surprising at the same time, given the fact that he is 82 years-old, he is
11:03 am
running a conference that has grown a faction within his conference has become more aligned with donald trump. he is he's gone crosswise with donald trump in the aftermath of january 6, and mcconnell for months has not said whether or not he would run again for republican leader as he's had health episodes in the past years, a lot of members in the senate had expected this to be his last congress, but the fact that he is stepping aside would have will have a significant impact on the direction of the republican party, given that he has been the one who is driven the direction of this conference from the past almost two decades being the longest serving party leader in history, someone who went toe to toe with barack obama in the push to enact the affordable care act. someone who held vacant the supreme court seat for more than a year, that barack obama warned to fill effectively, pushing this to the supreme court, to the riot in helping usher through three of donald trump's supreme court justices over democratic outcries over his handling of
11:04 am
all that. but someone who has aligned themselves with democrats in the the biden era, working with joe biden to enact the bipartisan infrastructure law being the only member of the republican conference in his delegation to support that pushing through gun legislation as well, bipartisan deal on that. and being a vocal proponent of aid to ukraine, something that has drawn enormous criticism from his his right flank. people who criticize his handling of that issue. but being one of the staunchest advocates in the republican conference for more aid to ukraine and putting them on the opposite side of the speaker of the house on that issue as well, all of which is leading to this moment from econo, who on the senate floor earlier today indicated that the politics have changed for within his conference and that there's one reason why he recognizes that it's time for him to step aside. he says that he can read the political tea leaves better than anyone announces time does pass pass it to the next generation will see which leaders ultimately
11:05 am
decide to run three potential successors could run john thune, john cornyn, john barasa, but all of them just moments ago would not commented that decided to if they said they would run to succeed. >> round >> three johns. all right. manu raju. thank you so much for that. let's bring in republican strategist, doug heye. let's talk first about mcconnell's legacy. he is i think obviously people focus on arnold trump and they think of reshaping the supreme court. but it was really mitch mcconnell who orchestrated that. >> well, the first thing i'd say is tenure. he has been in this position for a very long time. the first time i met mitch mcconnell was the first thing after the 2004 elections, i worked for richard burr who would just won the day before, and mcconnell's hit the ground, run i think first and north carolina and then to other states where republicans had won. he's been in that position for that long and clearly part of his legacy is donald trump's legislative victories, his judicial appointments. so if you like those, you should like mitch mcconnell, that's not always the case if you don't like those, mitch mcconnell's quite happy to
11:06 am
have you not like them in that case. he alluded to that speech, but support sort of the paradox here. rihanna is, if we think about what donald trump's key bipartisan legislative achievement was, his criminal justice reform. that only happened because mitch mcconnell got that through the united states senate, got behind that effort. donald trump doesn't talk about that anymore for a myriad of reasons. but mcconnell has been skilled at blocking things he's been skilled at getting things through as well. >> he's very savvy, very skilled he also is someone who will he harnessed the energy behind donald trump. they were not always completely aligned. he actually provoked a lot of ire as did his wife of trump. and i wonder when it comes to republicans in congress who feel that they are the caretakers of conservatism, but not always fully aligned with donald trump if you're seeing that kind of scaffolding crumble with his departure from essentially so previously we talked a lot about what reagan conservatism is in means or
11:07 am
meant, because the word conservative has really changed in washington in the past few years. a lot of that is due to donald trump's personality and how personality driven so much of this is what we've seen. so often is a lot of legislators were political people are trying always to go hostile to score points with i'll try donald trump doesn't give points. you only takes them away one at a time. so you can get three supreme court justices through. you can get a bipartisan bill through. but ultimately, if you, if you disagree with donald on any given day, unless you bend the knee down to them the next time he doesn't forget it. >> who do you see in the running here? thune cornyn or barrasso of the three johns two will be in tension. obviously, >> we see three, they're all in leadership. there's talk that rick scott may run. there's talk that thom tillis also from north carolina, may run. it's what makes this hard is you have to do real math at this point because you're talking about multiple people. so it's not one person versus another who, who gets the most. you have a lot of politicking that's going to happen. and we have a lot of months for it to
11:08 am
happen in you didn't answer my question at all. very strategically and intentionally. >> i'll give you one more shot. know who do you think? who do you think has the skills and his position to do it? >> i think all three have the skills to do what i tell you, josh hawley was asked to we support it and he said, john, that's probably a smarter. >> there you go. well i guess he's right. doug. thank you very much. boris. >> as if that weren't enough to digest out of capitol hill right now, hunter biden is being grilled behind closed doors as part of house republicans impeachment inquiry into his father. the republican effort could very well hinge on what happens in that room today, but already the two parties are providing diametrically opposed readouts of the proceedings so far cnn's paula reid has been tracking this for us. paula, get us up to speed with everything that's come out of that room today. >> of course, we only know what's happening inside of that room from our sources and from lawmakers because this deposition is happening behind closed doors. there are no cameras and as you said, the
11:09 am
lawmakers, we have heard from it says that they weren't even in the same room. now, democratic lawmakers have come down a few times to talk two reporters. they have described this hearing so far as an embarrassing spectacle. a waste of taxpayer resources, and they told us that there are so far has been no evidence of treason, bribery, or high crimes, and misdemeanors. now they also suggested that if republicans really want to investigate corruption, foreign influence, peddling, and they should open a box i poured us an inquiry and also look into former president trump and his son-in-law, jared kushner. they said that hunter biden actually brought up the kushner comparison during this question-and-answer session, notable since the lawyer who came with him today, abbe lowell also formally represented jared kushner. we haven't heard from too many republican lawmakers since this deposition then got underway. now, chairman comer did come out before the deposition, but since then, we've only heard from a few republicans. nancy mace came down. she said that she found hunter to be defiant and dishonest. but you did say
11:10 am
that he is not invoked his fifth amendment. other lawyers confirmed that as well. that's notable because he is facing two criminal investigation that's right now. but lawmakers also described hunter at times as being frustrated. forest in his opening statement, he told the committee that he felt that he was being hunted by republican lawmakers a paula, i want to paraphrase something that i read. matt gaetz say coming out of this meeting, he was asked about the future of the impeachment inquiry and effectively he said about the future of it that he's not looking at this closed-door deposition through the prism of the future of the inquiry, which i took to mean that at the very best, it's a murky proposition and this is coming from matt gaetz. he's been one of the most vocal people about this inquirysurprising been hearing him say that and it speaks to what happens next. i think there was important thing for us, boris is we're expected to get a transcript that was one of the requirements a hunter biden and his lawyers had before that sit behind closed doors because
11:11 am
they said they wer when we get this transcript. but then in terms of what happens next, when you have even matt gaetz not willing to say next up its impeachment, that is significant and ominous sign for republicans in terms of what exactly is happening behind closed doors. you also have one of the most powerful republicans in the land, mitch mcconnell, making a very newsy the announcement that is bumping this story of further down in the headlines. i'm not saying he did that intentionally to distract from this, but this is a make-or-break moment for the gop's investigation into president biden. and at this point, again, we have no evidence so far,hat they've really got that smoking gun that has alluded that and are impeachment inquiry so far we look forward to that transcript. paula reid, live from capitol hill. thanks so much, brianna. >> we're joined now by democratic congressman raja krishnamoorthi of illinois. congressman. thank you for being with us. one of your republican colleagues admittedly, one who had touted the now-discredited information from an fbi informant who was closed mr. russian intel and is now charged with lying that
11:12 am
colleague of yours characterized hunter biden, is defiant and dishonest in this closed-door testimony. what's your perspective on how this was? >> gosh, i think i was watching a different deposition. i didn't see that. i saw someone who is more calm. the answer the questions in a forthcoming way. i also saw somebody who he just came off as credible. in fact, i distinctly remember the way it worked as a lot of us members were sitting in the room and we were sitting next to each other as republicans and democrats were kind to intermingle. and after one of the answers that he gave i actually said to my republican colleague, i thought that was a pretty good answer and is shut shut down the line of questioning and he agreed with me and i think that that is probably because hunter was probably a biden was probably prepared for the questions. i also say i also have to say that he was candid about him
11:13 am
being tell us first. can you tell us >> a kid >> like i can't tell you that under the agreement that we entered into today, you'll see it in the transcript. hopefully tomorrow >> okay. so you said he was forthcoming about being a flawed person. was he was he frustrated ever? i mean, was there demeanor that could have been perceived as defiant >> i think that in his opening remarks, his opening testimony, i think that he used language that would suggest that he didn't want to be there. he thought that this was a attempt to smear him. but i think that during the questioning, as i said before, his answers were forthcoming, he appeared credible, calm, and collected when you look at. >> this >> information that is now discredited, should the fbi have told the committee earlier
11:14 am
>> that alexander smirnov was a potentially compromised informant or that they had concerns about the veracity of this information yeah. >> i wish they did because remember that form. that smirnov had provided information for was kind of grist for the mill in the kind of opening part of this impeachment inquiry and if we had known that smirnoff was potentially a russian asset, that he was a liar, and that he was going to be indicted. >> i think >> that would have probably changed the character of the initial proceedings. we're wasting a lot of time here, brianna, especially when the clock is ticking on a potential government shutdown on friday. and here we are an adult position of hunter biden on an impeachment of the president. that's going nowhere. >> it's really alarming to see that kind of information gain legitimacy through the process that we saw in the house of representatives with
11:15 am
republicans, but democrats have also fallen for russian misinformation in the past i mean, you think of the steele dossier that was something that a democrat had actually put into the congressional record. do you worry that the environment of this political polarization is such that it is ripe for members of congress, of both parties falling prey to foreign interference like this >> sure. >> i think this is something that our adversaries are going to try to ramp up in this election year. it's not just the russians, but also, for instance, the chinese communist party. we know that they we'll also attempt to interfere in our elections the same way they did in taiwan at the start of this year. and so we have to be vigilant. >> you mentioned taiwan. you did just go to taiwan with a congressional delegation and i wanted to ask you about that because i saw that you'd mentioned that the topic of
11:16 am
ukraine kept coming up obviously aid for ukraine hung up in the congress right now, what did you hear in taiwan about ukraine >> well, gosh, brianna, they asked about it at every single meeting from the president elect to the current president two other leaders they are very concerned that we are not going to pass this aid to ukraine. >> why because they fear that that >> a failure to provide that aid, a failure the ukrainians to prevail on the battlefield will be viewed as a invitation for more aggression potentially by the ccp against taiwan as secretary mike pompeo's said that are hearing the other day if we don't provide this aid to ukraine, it makes war over taiwan more likely because it could invite aggression and a secretary, leon panetta said, you know, you can't be strong on china and weak in your support ukrainian. >> do the taiwanese leader's
11:17 am
you spoke with worry that not providing aid for ukraine is a sign that america will not provide aid for taiwan in a long-standing consistent manner. >> they didn't say that explicitly, but i'm sure at the back of their minds, they're thinking that. and i think that that's another reason why we have to pass this because we want to reassure our friends and allies and partners around the world. >> remember at the end of the day just take europe for example if we don't provide the aid that we want to for the ukrainians in order for them to succeed you know, putin's not going to stop at ukraine. he's already talked about poland. he's already talked about the baltic states, the ukrainians are fighting a war so that we don't have to, if ukrainians don't prevail than our people could be embroiled in such a war again, in europe

11:24 am
texas is the population of just over 2000 people. they were all evacuated when the flames came through. now, while we here are not able to get close to the frontlines of the flames. there are still parts of this town that are burning. some homes were completely flattened and destroyed. we were able to get to one of the locations we met a neighbor who said it went up crazy fast. those were his words. he evacuated, he was able to get it back. his home still so standing, boris, but across the street for homes just completely destroyed they were wooden structures. >> there's nothing left. >> to those people will have to rebuild their lives. and this was a scene that was playing out and so many of these rural communities flames came so quickly fueled by those high winds and the really dry conditions. we did see some of the winds go down a little bit today, so that will help and some of those firefighting areas. but because these fires are so vast, because they're covering such a large amount of
11:25 am
ground. there, just simply not able to get on top of them when we spoke to adam terms turner, he's the pio of the texas a&m forest service, and he told me that because of these massive landscapes, it's, it's kind of tough to get this under control. he also said that the danger is not over. the winds have died down. there gonna be down for maybe 23 days. he says, but they will be back this it's weekend. there'll be high winds and dry conditions. one again, so we are not in the clear. i'll end with this, boris, the one piece of good news. some structures have been destroyed, no injuries so far, the well aware of that authorities are aware of no deaths. boris know that is a silver lining of us for lucy kafanov, live fritch, texas. thanks so much. rana. >> so more fallout over alabama's controversial ivf decision dozens of patients and families rallied outside of the state house demanding lawmakers do more to protect providers and restore ivf services. the state's high court said frozen embryos are human beings creating potential liabilities
11:26 am
if the embryos are destroyed. and now many families are left without access to the treatment. we have cnn's isabel rosalas outside of the state capitol there in montgomery. tell us what's happening there? >> hey, brianna. so we had dozens of patients, doctors, family advocates, decked out in orange holding up signs saying we are here for ivf to support it, to protect it. they came here to the steps of the state. state house here in alabama to condemn that state supreme court ruling that has effectively shut down ivf treatments at three critical clinics throughout the state. also to share how limited their options are and to push these lawmakers to take action to protect ivf. i spoke with elizabeth goldman, who has sacrificed a lot. she went through for uterine transplant to become an ivf patient and to carry in her womb her first baby she wants another one done through ivf and this is what
11:27 am
she had to say, how she's been impacted i gave up everything for this to chase this dream, to chase to be on this journey my whole life right now revolves around ivf and being able to go through one more transfer, have one more pregnancy and baby. and then i'll have a hysterectomy to come up all the transplant meds. >> i am angry. >> i don't really have a better word for that. i am upset and i'm hurt not only for myself, refer the hundreds of other families, i consider myself pretty lucky because we hadn't started yet and because of the insurance that i have, we do have the option to go out to say if that's necessary, even though that's not what we want to do. many other couples do not have that option and that last woman was gabby price. she downsize her home to a camper >> in order to afford ivf. she switched jobs to get access to fertility benefits and she says those benefits were set to
11:28 am
start march 1, and just now on the last couple of days, she heard that ruling from the supreme court. so she think she is in limbo here awaiting the next steps and so desperate for lawmakers to take action yeah, those are a lot of people with the futures of their families up in the air. isabel, thank you for that report. >> coming up >> new developments in the criminal investigation into the botched police response to the uvalde school massacre, who's testifying and what we might learn here ahead. the mayor of new york city wants to make a major shift in how the city handles undocumented immigrants, will have details next how do i look? >> perfect. >> good boy >> we already young republic >> let me do my work and some pride. >> sorry >> streaming exclusively on max my mental health was much better, but i struggled with

price that cable can't be try free at fubotv.com vegas >> the story of sin city. sunday at ten on cnn >> another major update from texas, the department of public safety there, the director steve mccraw he's testifying before a grand jury today in uvalde. this is part of the criminal probe into the botched police response to the mass shooting at robb elementary school. cnn senior crime and justice correspondent shimon prokupecz is in uvalde covering this for us. shimon, this is a significant development, something that parents of victims have been calling for now i'll years >> well, yeah, for nearly two years, they've been asking that there'll be some kind of investigation, a criminal investigation, and that seems to be well, under way now, it's interesting that you have the head of a law enforcement agency the aim, this is no
11:34 am
small agency. this is the texas department of public safety, essentially their state police. he oversees state troopers, you oversees the texas rangers to have him testify. certainly is interesting. i don't know of another situation like this where the head of a law enforcement agency who's not in charge of investigating anything. he's simply running the department and simply receiving information from his officers and his investigators in the days after the shooting to have him testify is certainly something that is strange, but significant, of course, remember, steve mccraw came out out in the days after the shooting calling the response by law enforcement, an abject failure and pinning most of the blame on the school police chief, the former school police chief pete arradondo, ads lacking any kind of control or command of the scene. and so to have of home testify here
11:35 am
today. as you said, boris is certainly significant. we know that this grand jury has been meeting for about a month now, hearing from other law enforcement official and investigators, and it could take several months before we hear what the grand jury finds the family, of course, is hoping that they hold officers responsible. but the chances of that are really unlikely. it's a difficult path for the da to pursue. but nonetheless, of course, they're hoping for that when it comes to who the grand jury will hear from shimon, do we know of they're going to hear from victims, family members? >> so far we know that none of the family members have been giving notice or subpoenas are have been asked to testify in the grand jury. it could come at some point, but they've not been updated by the da about this investigation. which i think is significant also because they feel that there's not been enough transparency. they feel their relationship with the da is strained and she's not provided enough
11:36 am
information. i ran into a family member in town here this morning and i asked him if he received any word on whether or not he was going to be testifying in the grand jury and still he's one of the family lee members that hasn't. so that's certainly interesting. and then we'll see what happens here. >> boris shimon prokupecz live from uvalde. thank you so much. brianna, in new york city for the first time, mayor eric adams is calling for major changes to the city sanctuary policies descend undocumented immigrants accused of a crime over to immigration and customs enforcement office the search for possible deportation. cnn national correspondent athena jones is joining us now on this story, tell us more about this of ina >> hi bianna. what we know that new york city mayor eric adams has been joining some other big city mayors of democratic mayors and talking about the migrant crime, migrant influx as a crisis this is an influx that began in the spring of 20 2012, when you had a governors like governor abbott in texas sending people crossing the border to cities like new york city is like chicago. and so
11:37 am
that is kind of the background of all of this. he's breaking now with precedent, with decades of precedent in part in response to growing concerns about public safety and about immigration in general, we've seen it already be a top issue in some recent elections and it's a top issue on voters minds. and it's an issue that democrats aren't faring very well with but the sanctuary city policy in new york has been in place since 1989. so we're talking about a long time. you saw governor mayor ed koch first introduced a sanctuary policy and then mayor buildup blasio expanded on that a few years later. so we're talking about decades of precedent that the mayor is now wants to challenge and change. listen to what he said at that press conference on tuesday i don't believe people who are violent >> in our city and commit repeated crimes should have the privilege of being in our city.
11:38 am
