>> thank you, jake. no, not really. i mean the bottom line is what's clear to all of us or more so to the families of the shooting is this was a historic failure of law enforcement to protect our children in a time of crisis. so they already knew that. and the report as your colleague said is 570 pages, so nobody's read it yet. but the level of detail certainly was meaningful. >> so uvalde county district attorney christina mitchell has not finished her inquiry into what happened that day. she hadn't charged any law enforcement personnel with anything. are there any specific criminal charges that you would want filed against anybody in law enforcement? >> well, i think it's not really my place as a lawyer to comment, but i would say that a lot of frustration not just with local authorities -- whether or not there is or not we don't know. but families in this situation should not get that impression. and i think that's what the doj did well today is they made it clear to these families that they were taking their case ve

so we found him, got in touch with fake jake and had fake jake on the podcast.. one, he is a poet, and he writes love poems. and he said we, jake have, slept with 500 supermodels. also, they bought drinks for everybody. gareth was like would never be jake. if you meet jake in a bar, he will not buy you drinks, and he has not slept with hundreds of supermodels. >> jimmy: i don't think there are 500 supermodels. >> i will say to him or any other fake jakes, keep that lie going. >> jimmy: yes. >> if you're pretending to be me, we've slept with the hottest of hot and we were half a show again. and what's really funny is people are, uh, spotting him out and taking photos of him. m. so they're like got him again. he's dealing with paparazzi! what an amazing turn of events. >> jimmy: in your movie, you have a fake ellen degeneres? >> yes, we do. we have a fake ellen. >> jimmy: is that inspired by this? >> no. >> jimmy: where do you find a fake ellen deyenr >> i was looking at fake oprah's. i was looking at fake lettermans. >> jimmy: oh. >> but the problem is in the sce

so we found him, got in touch with fake jake and had fake jake on the podcast.e poems. two, he said that me, jake, had slept with 500 supermodels. also, they bought drinks for everybody. garrett was like, that would never be jake. [ laughter ] if you meet jake in a bar, he will not buy you drinks, and he has not slept with hundreds of supermodels. >> jimmy: i don't think there are 500 supermodels. >> i will say to him or any other fake jakes, keep that lie going. >> jimmy: yes. >> if you're pretending to be me, we've slept with the hottest of hot and we were half good. not great. let's not get insane. >> jimmy: will you keep in touch with fake jake? >> no. but i did have somebody email the show again. and what's really funny is people are spotting him out and taking photos of him. so they're like got him again. he's dealing with paparazzi! what an amazing turn of events. we have a fake ellen. >> jimmy: is that inspired by this? >> no. >> jimmy: where do you find a fake ellen degeneres? >> i was looking at fake oprah's. i was looking at fake lettermans. >> jimmy:

she said she is that candidate, jake. >> what about governor ron desantis? >> reporter: we met several open-minded voters this morning. they said they are looking at the distinction between ron desantis and nikki haley. one thing that ron desantis as tingling for him is a grasp of policy. the town hall meeting will be one of the final stages for them to be together. a lot of people are sizing them up. sure, many people have already decided to support former president donald trump. but there are still many minds, you know, trying to process all this. that is why are the debate next week is so important. as ron desantis tries to draw out campus, he believes, on policy, where he believes nikki haley is the, it will be substantive. there are 12 days, jake. the iowa caucuses have a history of surprising and humbling people. we will see if that happens again this time. >>> thanks to both of you. get in-depth perspective in our back-to-back republican presidential town halls tomorrow night. katelyn collins will moderate the conversation at 9:00 p.m. eastern on thur

jake?i also spoke to a two time donald trump motor -- voter who is intrigued with nikki haley and kind of tired of donald trump but not sure how she will vote. >>> let's discuss with former new hampshire republican party chairman who is supporting nikki haley and a senior advisor to john mccain. in this 2024 republican primary, you first supported tim scott of south carolina, he dropped out, you switch to nikki haley, why her and should she go after trump more directly, including in the town hall? >> when you are attacked, you need to respond and she should be forceful without being petty and insulting, which distinguishes her. with nikki haley, you get turning the page on older politicians, but somebody who can deliver on a conservative agenda without the chaos, without the drama, without the tweets. she is getting a good base of support among republicans who say they like the ideas that donald trump espoused as president, but i was somebody who gets it done and does not pick needless figh

jake? >> nick valencia in atlanta for us, thanks so much. >>> coming up, new and disturbing details about what happens to children thought to have been kidnapped from ukraine. stay with us. in san francisco, two people a day are dying from fentanyl. this is a national crisis that demands new strategies. prop f requires single adults receiving cash assistance to enroll in treatment if they use drugs. i know what it's like to lose family to drug addiction. it's too late for some families. but our city needs to do what's necessary to save lives. please vote yes on prop f. >>> stories we think are not getting enough attention. in this case tens of thousands of children who ukraine says were abducted, kidnapped for forced assimilation. it's considered a war crime. today members of congress listened as ukrainian officials described what happening to the children, some as young as 1 years old. >> every day that passes is moss crimes. adoption followed by indock runation, the imposition of new cult

so you'll see, jake. you'll have to follow up with me later. >> republican senator joni ernst of iowa, thanks so much. let's reconnect with congressman mark pocan to get his response next. >>> plus that blizzard in iowa, below zero temperatures will be around monday evening for the caucus. how concerned are they about turnout? i'llll be talkining to take rerepublican s strategist t wat this clolosely. >>> we're back with our world lead in the domestic and international reactions after the u.s.-led airstrikes against houthi targets in yemen. i want to bring back democratic congressman mark pocan of wisconsin whose bluetooth has been sorted out, so we can hear you now, congressman. you're not happy congress did not get to approve these strikes. the white house said the strikes were in self-defense. do you disagree with that? >> well, i think the president has notified congress and now it really is up to congress to decide according to the war powers resolution. it is congress that has to decide if we're goi

>>> i'm jake taper. we're standing by for a judge's decision in south carolina in a push for a new trial for alec murdaugh, the south carolina attorney convicted of killing his wife and son. we'll bring you that judge's decision the moment it happens. >>> cnn on the ground in ukraine, coming under artillery fire. >> 100 meters. we're trying to make our way out of here. >>> plus, see the intense fight in the forest, showing what ukraine is up against. >>> leading this hour, the latest dysfunction on capitol hill, this time over immigration beginning with a look at how we got here. you'll recall when president biden was sworn in on january 20, 2021, the new administration started ending trump administration immigrations policy arguing they were harsh and inhumane, for instance a policy that forced would be asylum seekers to stay south of the border. last may along party lines house republicans passed hr -2, a bil that would bring back trump policies. president biden vetoed the bill. last october republican

i'm jake tapper. marks 100 days since th hamas attacks on israel. here in the united states, divisions over the war that israel launched that day are only growing. joining me now is independent senator bernie sanders of vermont. thanks again for joining. we have a lot to get to, but first, let's start with this dramatic new escalation this the middle east. joe biden's strikes against the houthi rebels in union. top house progressive congresswoman jayapal said the president needed permission from congress. do you agree with her? were the strikes illegal? >> well, what i do think is that the president has to respond under an emergency basis, the disruption of international shipping brought about by the houthis. but you have to get to congress immediately. it is congress that has a right to declare war, not the president of the united states. so i hope this gets to congress immediately. >> let's talk about the war that israel is waging in gaza. you are trying to force a vote in congress that would direct

jake? >> kristin, you are at donald trump's press conference after this, did his team make any legitimate legal points? >> one interesting part of this, i have been to several of these, and he actually took questions from reporters. usually, it is airing of grievances. [ indiscernible ] >> kristin, i am sorry, the audio is not working on your feed right now, i am sorry about that. let's bring in former federal prosecutor ellie. donald trump can say whatever he wants, but the attorney general of new york is asking for him to pay $370 million and for him to lose his ability to do business in new york, how do you think the judge is ultimately going to rule? rex i don't think there is too much mistreated us, because the judge has already found against trump and in favor of the attorney general on one of the seven counts in this case. what is at stake here is the ability of donald trump to do business in the future. the ag is asking for an enormous monetary judgment here, up to $370 million. eve

jake? >> thanks so much. >>> right now on capitol hill house republicans are moving closer to something not done in more than 100 years. they are trying to impeach a sitting cabinet official. the high crimes and misdemeanors they are alleging against department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas . that story next. >>> house republicans are preparing to do something today that has not been done in nearly 150 years, and has only been done that one time before. they are moving ahead with articles of impeachment against a sitting cabinet official. the last time this was done with president gretz secretary of war, for a kickback scheme. in this case it is homeland security secretary alejandra mayorkas. the public and their saying he committed high crimes and misdemeanors by his alleged mishandling of the crisis on the southern border. lauren is live on capitol hill. this is a big step to impeach. what exactly are the high crimes and misdemeanors that are being alleged? >> well, a

>> thanks, jake. numbers on the map there and getting information from my sources that i know you guys are well, they are particularly in the haley campaign right now they are watching some very important suburban towns or well-populated towns, towns with more traditional as you call them country club republicans earlier. and they're just hoping and praying that their numbers really are pumped in those areas in order to even come closer at all close to donald trump. >> yeah, i mean, there are certain places obviously a place like bedford as there are in every state, there are certain parts that are more moderate, certain parts that are more conservative, certain parts that are more independent, certain parts more republican. and, you know, you can go and talk to the advisers for both camps, and they'll say, well, this is where we've got to be strong, this is where we underperform, and this is where we hope to -- talking to the trump people this afternoon, you know, their first line was a win is a win,

>> it was jake sullivan and the chief informs the president. >> who from the pentagon told jake sullivan? >> i don't have the timeline or the name of the individual -- who informed jake sullivan. what i can tell you is that jake sullivan was informed by the pentagon last thursday and from there, they were able to inform the president, they, meaning the chief of staff and the national security adviser informed the president. i do not have who told the national security advisor. >> did whoever at the pentagon and form jake sullivan, say that they regretted the delay or give an explanation? >> i get the question, i do not have specifics on what was communicated in the conversation at what i can tell you is that the national security advisor jake sullivan was certainly informed about secretary austin's hospitalization. but i do not have anything further on specifics of that conversation. i can also share with you is that we have -- as we many times, that the president was informed thereafter. >> did secretary austin apologized to the president? >> i do not have any specifics into their conve

jake?you're getting emails from individuals inside the courtroom, as soon as you have anything to tell us, we will come back with you, kristin, the trump team is inside the courtroom, one would imagine, although donald trump is not quick >> i have not spoken to the lawyers, i know his entire campaign team is with him, heading to the airport, he has a political event in nevada, i'm trying to make sure it hasn't changed any of their plans, happening so closely to his departure, no matter what happens, whatever the verdict is, he will say over and over again that this is some kind of election interference and that he never met her, this was done at -- done to try to stop them running for office, we for these argument time and time again his own lawyer was talking about how e. jean carroll was funded by democrats, something that she was admonished by the judge for saying, this is been there standard practice, something he's done repeatedly, he has continued to boast about her even in a trial fo

jake?> all right, dana bash, thank you so much. >>> let's check with kristen holmes who is at trump hq i think in des moines, iowa. and so much about this evening, kristen, is about the expectations game. trump posted something on truth social saying he was leading nikki haley by 57 points. that's not really consistent with the expectations game. but what interest the trump officials telling you? >> yeah, that seemed to be trump being trump. what we've heard from senior advisers now for months is playing the expectations game. even though we have seen poll after poll showing donald trump leading here in iowa by roughly 30 points, they are insisting that any win above 12 would not only be historic but celebrated. they've been privately telling me for months they believe the margins could be closer than what the public polls were showing. in addition to that, they are telling me they are worried if he falls short of a 20 point gap in any way, that's going to be viewed as a disappointment at a

but nothing, jake, like ron desantis. he's all in here.e said that he's -- it is not make or break here. but if you just look at where the campaign is, his campaign and more importantly his superpac, which has been running the show here in iowa, they have been talking about the vanted organization. knocking -- i talked to one of his aids yesterday, saying they knocked or more than 900,000 doors and they have the same precinct captains that donald trump has. and they have pulled up stakes in new hampshire and all of their eggs are in the iowa basket. so yes, he is not as high in sort of the overall horse race number in that very important des moines register poll that came out last night. but his support is more sticky and the organization that the superpac never back down has built, is much, much stronger. much more intense than nikki haley by all accounts here on the ground in iowa. >> dana, stay warm and thank you so much. >>> and joining me now is republican presidential candidate florida governor ron desantis. governor, thank you so mu

the lead, with the jake tapper, starts right now. >>> donald trump's response, when a judge threatened to throw them out of court, quote, i would love it. the lead starts right now that outbursts in court. what donald trump did, when a woman who is accusing him of sexual harassment, took the stand. at the white house, resident biden, meeting with leaders of the house and senate as senate republicans urged house republicans to take the deal on immigration and the border and get something, rather than nothing. when schoolchildren stop. see how often it is that the students are stopping planned events. >>> welcome to the lead. we start with our law and justice lead. a jury is deciding how much donald trump must pay to a woman he defamed, as the jury previously divided -- decided. the judge threatened to kick the former president out of the court. trump responded, quote, i would love it. he was warned to speak more quietly when talking with his lawyers. during the testimony, ms. carol said that he shattered her reputation. she said she has received death threats and has had to hire private

>> i wasn't, jake. you know judges hate to be reversed so what they often do is give the prosecutors a little bit less than what they're asking for. it looks reasonable, it's within the sentencing guidelines range. and the fine in particular unless it's some sort of corporate crime or there's some sort of reason that a monetary fine makes a lot of sense as part of the punishment, most felonies and most misdemeanors in federal court actually get the bare minimum fine, which is really called a special assessment. they don't get any true fine at all. so i wasn't surprised to see where the sentence ended up, and i think the prosecutors are probably pleased with four mounts. it's not a lot of time but it's a misdemeanor, and peter navarro, assuming he doesn't get this overturned or drag it out until former president trump is president again and gets a pardon, he will go to prison for this. and that's at the end of the day i think what prosecutors are looking for. >> let's talk about that because you do think

>> well, jake, i think -- i thank you for having me.art off by understanding not only did we see 300 homicides in these years following 2015, much of my lifetime, and that's what pushed me into public service, we did something that baltimore had never done before. we created a comprehensive violence prevention plan that focused in addition to making sure that our police department was operating in a better way, making historic investments into community violence intervention, building an ecosystem, working with community groups, expanding our hospital-based violence response, making sure that we're focusing in on those who are most at risk to be the victim or perpetrator of gun violence in our city through our group violence reduction strategy where we give them options to change their life and if they don't bring the full weight of law enforcement down on them. doing all of those things is how we've been able to reduce homicides in baltimore, having the largest single-year drop on record for baltimore from one year to the next, and all

i am jake tapper. cue the music. the election jam is underway. a runaway victory for donald trump last night in the iowa republican caucuses. the strongest showing for any nonincumbent in the modern era of the iowa caucuses since the 1970s with trump winning 51% of the vote. that is 10 points higher than the previous record. george w. bush with 41% in 2000. the turnout for trump, he won every single county in iowa except one. that one in yellow uc. johnson county, nikki haley won. look at these scenes from last night. democracy in action. hard-working election workers counting votes on pieces of paper. tabulating, putting them in popcorn buckets. all on the up and up. today, no complaints of fraud. even if the system looks like it has not evolved much since the caucuses began in iowa in 1846. why are there no complaints? well, perhaps because donald trump won. when ted cruz won in 2016, trump lodged evidence complete complaints. in fact, he is still claiming he really won in 2016 even though he did not. here he is before the results last night. >

i'm jake tapper. this hour, the white house is lamb basting members of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's cabinet. specifically two right wing extremists who are calling for the ethnic cleansing of tony bl some are wondering if the netanyahu administration will have to choose between extremists and the biden administration. >>> and a federal appeals court, a closer look at abortion since roe v. wade was overturned. >>> we have a brand new court filing from donald trump. this time he's going to the u.s. supreme court to try to appeal the decision made by the colorado supreme court to remove him from its 2024 ballot for engaging in insurrection. let's get right to cnn's paula reed who is here with me. paula, i know you have a big stack of papers that you just printed out, but what can you tell us about this appeal? >> two weeks ago, the colorado supreme court removed trump from the ballot. that decision is on hold, because previously, the republican party of colorado appealed this decision to t

jake, it's clear. have a deep-seated left-wing bias and supreme hatred for all things donald trump. just tell the truth about who you are. your left-wing radical talk show host. you're not a journalist as you claim. that's why we very accurately for a u.s. fake jake. of course after scribe journalists like tapper and maddow don't just hate donald trump. they frankly hate everyone who supports him. take a look. >> trump has in some ways become religion for certain section of the american electorate and especially for evangelicals. it's not about the virtue anymore. it's about the device that trump expresses. and i think you see that playing out in iowa where the even to look is key. it's central to what is going to unfold tonight. and it is very much a group of people that find the trump is in some ways a second coming. >> these are white christians. this is a state overrepresented by white christians that are going to participate in these caucuses especially tonight. >> regardless of whether or not the

>> first, jake, i grieve the loss of any innocent civilian lives. wo one of the things that i've learned as we visited sderot as they murdered people in the streets, this because 23not simy a terrorist attack, but i believe it was a terrorist invasion. what i learned in our briefings in the south is that fence line separating israel from gaza was breached in more than 90 different places simultaneously paving the way for some 3,000 terrorists heavily armed to move into israel. in fact the briefings i received pointed out that actually the terr terrorists had suftsficient armaments and supplies to march all the way to jerusalem but for the heroic efforts of police, idf forces and frankly courageous citizens, they were stopped from doing that. so i really believe what israel is doing in gaza today is absolutely essential. it is a response to an invasion that was launched with the intention of beginning the process of destroying the jewish state of israel. and i really do believe that this is a moment where america needs to speak with one voice that we

i'm jake tapper. the republican caucuses and primary process begins next week. but with president biden facing political head winds he's trying to skip ahead and go right to the general election. he's trying to paint a stark contrast with his predecessor donald trump over democracy and political violence. tomorrow more on that from president biden. he will speak at mother emanuel ame church in charleston, south carolina, with a white supremacist murdered some in 2015. joining us now congressman james clyburn. let's start with the trip to the church. what are you hoping to hear from president biden and is it fair to tie in any way what happened at the emanuel ame church to donald trump, donald trump had barely launched his campaign when that attack happened. >> well thank you very much for having me, jake. i think it is very clear that donald trump's utterances way back before charlessville or at the time of charlottesville tied him to what happened at mother eplan you'll. the fact of the matter is that young man went into that church's basement and joined with t

fascinating conversation, jake tapper, thanks so much. >> of course, you can watch jake on "the lead" 4:00 p.m. eastern here on cnn. >>> now the first batch of the jeffery epstein documents are unsealed. what they reveal about epstein's relationships with former presidents bill clinton and donald trump. >>> a mass email bomb threat sent to government offices and officials around the country. the latest on that situation next. >>> this morning we are waiting for the release of more documents tied to accused sex trafficker jeffery epstein. the first batch hundreds of pages were just unsealed last night. they include the deposition from one of epstein's accuser, showberg. she was asked did jeffrey talk to you about bill clinton? she said one time clinton liked them young, referring to girls. >> the pilots told them on a plane they couldn't land in new york and had to land in atlantic city. jeffrey said, great, calm up trump and go to i don't recall the name of the casino, but go to the casino. neither clinton nor trump are accused of any wrongdoing involving epstein. >> joining us an inv

jake, i was there. it was a riot. the way it broke out and i've never seen it any other way. and while i said that the president's words were reckless and i believe that haze history the american people will hold him to account for his role in that day, i think the efforts to take the decision away from the american people are antithetical to the democracy that the president biden and many democracies talk about wanting to defend. i'm confident that the american people will choose wisely and that we'll run our elections. but removing the former president or any other candidate from the choice of the american people, i don't believe is in the interest of the country and i have reason to be confident that the supreme court of the united states will see it just that way. >> two tough anniversary this is weekend. the three year anniversary of the january 6 capitol attack yesterday. the three-month anniversary of the hamas terrorist attack on israel. mike pence in a unique position to talk about both of those

national security adviser jake sullivan. he discusses u.s. foreign policy goals during this 40 minute event. [applause] good afternoon, everyone. excellencies. your majesty, president vucic, ladies and gentlemen, friends of the forum here it is my real honor to introduce jake sullivan, the 28th u.s. national security adviser. when jake took office in januare youngest u.s. national security adviser in 60 years. president joe biden described him as having one in a generation intellects. during his years serving at the highest levels of the u.s. government, he has formulated u.s. policy toward the middle east, on the iran nuclear deal, and guided washington's pivots towards asia-pacific. these highlights don't capture extent to which the s-shaped u.s. foreign policy over the past two decades. and i think there are some reasons to believe that he will continue on that path for the coming decades. still very young. today, during one of the most complex geopolitical moments in decades, as american leadership is being tested in new and unpredictable

if we can try to get jake back.event a partial government shutdown in just 17 days, so as jake and i were just discussing, you have to figure out how to avoid a shutdown. a lot at stake. for mike johnston, new speaker of the house. jake, do we have you back? >> i'm not sure what happened. it's maybe an internet goblin. but johnson is going to be at the border with 16 republicans, touring the border, which congress has been harping for a long time, congress needs to get a solution on the border on these issues. and all of these issues, ukraine, all wrapped up in the border crisis. none of these issues are easy on their own, but put them together, they become incredibly intractable and difficult. >> it's a major at the time for the new speaker. it's a major test for the senate and white house in the election year, because there's going to be a big split in the party no matter what happens. there's going to be changing to refugee and asylum rules that are international rules. jake sherman, to be continued in the new ye
