>> a swiss study showed a flu virus can survive as long as 17 days on a paper bill. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in washington. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next. breaking news. the justice department has filed criminal charges in the deadly attack on benghazi. plus, manhunt in california. a murder suspect on the run tonight. it is believed he has two children with him. and the gop has threatened cnn. the man who made those threats, reince priebus, head of the republican committee is "outfront" tonight. let's go "outfront." >> good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront," i want to begin with breaking news. the justice department has filed its first criminal charges in

the deadly attack on the u.s. mission in benghazi. federal authorities have charged several people including militia leader. it is important to note the suspects have been charged but they have not been arrested. in fact, our report he sat down with khattalah about his potential involvement. he told cnn that he had not been approached by the fbi. evan broke the story. you broke the story about the charges. what can you tell us about these charges? >> well, the charges were filed under seal in new york which is not an uncommon thing. the fbi and the justice department has been working on this case as you said for 11 months and they have been interviewing hundreds of witnesses and have been trying to build the case against these men. we are told that the case has been filed under seal and right

now, they're still working on trying to figure out how to bring these men to justice. as you mentioned, the reporter from cnn just interviewed the suspect believed to be one of the people involved. and so we're hoping to see what happens next. >> and evan, i want to play for our viewers. you will see more in our extensive documentary about the truth of benghazi which airs tonight. here's a little about what arwood damon asked the man charged but the fbi has not spoken to. here's that. >> i didn't know where the place was. when i heard, we went to examine the situation. when we with drew and there was shooting with medium guns and rpg's in the air and people panicked, we tried to control traffic. >> did anyone from the american or the libyan government side try to get in touch with you? >> never.

>> never. >> and if they tried, are you ready to meet with them? >> yes, no problem. but not as an interrogation. as a conversation like the one we are having with you now. >> now, obviously, when you think about this, this was nine months, ten months after the attack and someone who was a person of interest was just walking around on the streets. reporters were able to speak to him. it doesn't seem like a lot of urgency at that time. what are authorities saying about questioning potential suspects? it is easy to charge somebody but you know, these people could be anywhere. it has been almost a year. it might be impossible to ever bring them to justice. >> that's one of the problems with this case. obviously, the fbi would have loved to have gotten in there much quicker than they were able to. the security situation in benghazi is not like any other place. even in previous talks in saudi arabia, they had a host government which is able to bring you to interview witnesses. they don't have that in benghazi.

they don't have that in libya. so we believe that the, that they've done according to people who have talked to me. they've done hundreds of interviews. the question is, as you've raised it, whether or not the libyan government can bring or help the americans bring these people to justice. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. and of course, evan perez breaking that news about these charges. of course, this news about the charges coming after cnn has widely been publicizing this interview with abu khattala. i want the get now to the other developing story tonight. the terror threat against the united states. 19 u.s. embassies and consulates are still closed in the middle east and africa. in yemen, fears of what the state department is calling a quote, specific immediate terror threat has prompted the united states to order all nonemergency personnel staff to leave the country. of course, lawrence is at the pentagon. and chris, we saw the c-17

taking off. the u.s. government was trying to say this isn't really an evacuation although that's of course what it certainly seemed to be. is the threat in yemen separate from the threat that has prompted the now extended closings of so many diplomatic posts? >> no. the state department says while they are constantly evaluating new information, this is based off that original threat by al qaeda. defense officials tell us that an air force transport plane took out between 50 and 100 people and flew them to germany. now, there are still u.s. troops still on the ground there in yemen. fewer than 100. and they're split between marines who are still there protecting the u.s. embassy and down south near ayden where they are training the forces on counter terrorism. >> and let me ask you, we have reports about a pair of u.s. drone strikes killing four al qaeda militants in yemen.

so are we going to see more of these? and my understanding is there is up to 25 high profile targets in the country. none of whom were struck today. do you know if that's the case? >> that's right. this is the fourth drone strike in just the last ten days alone. it is coming just a month after a deputy commander of aqap in yemen was killed in a drone strike. he was a former detainee at guantanamo bay that was release asked went back to al qaeda. and this is all coming as the u.s. steps up its aerial surveillance over yemen as well as pouring over jihadist websites and the nsa intercepts trying to figure out where this plan may be going next. >> thank you very much. reporting on the latest we know from the pentagon. i want to bring in tim clemente, former counter terrorism agent. obviously we have that intercepted communication from the leader of al qaeda ordering

an attack, evacuation of personnel in yemen, drone strikes, closure of nearly two dozen embassies. all of this unprecedented and all overseas. what about at home? could there be a situation where there is an incredible amount of chatter and the u.s. is looking in the wrong place? >> i don't think we're looking in the wrong place. i don't think we ever lay down and don't look at what's going on here in the homeland but it is certainly a threat. the possibility as they said, lone wolf style attacks like boston marathon. that's very real. these are people that want to be allied with al qaeda. and if al qaeda the greater organization is pushing for major attacks on american assets overseas, there is no reason why these individuals that want to ally themselves with al qaeda here in the united states wouldn't consider doing their own lone wolf type attacks. so it could be very threatening for us and i think absolute vigilance is necessary by not only law enforcement and the intelligence community but the american public. >> so in the united states, are we safer from al qaeda threats than we were prior to 9/11?

and you're talking about different kinds of threats. threats that are threats to parades and marathons, that's a terrible thing. >> those are what we would call soft targets. they're not hardened facilities and events. trying to attack the white house, we've seen a couple movies come out in the last few months. those are very difficult. and other than an air attack, very difficult. but soft targets, people gathered in transportation facilities, airports, buses, train depots or sporting event, entertainment venues. those have security but they're not as protected as hardened sites would be like our embassies abroad. so those soft targets are always vulnerable. and the security apparatus that i was a part of with the special event venues is always trying to improve what they do and try to stay ahead of the curve. so i'm sure there will be increased security measures at any events coming up in the near

future. >> tim, thank you very much. you will see more of him and his expertise on what happened in benghazi in our documentary which debuts tonight at 10:00 eastern. still ahead, a massive manhunt in california. a man on the run, a 16-year-old girl missing. plus, jerry sandusky, he says he's getting better. is that possible? is it possible for a pedophile to ever not be a pedophile? and later, the world's most unfriendly city. we'll tell you which city was given that dishonor and why it is a load of horse manure. and former president george w. bush is in the hospital but we have an update.

. our second story, a manhunt in southern california. murder suspects james lee dimaggio is on the run. an amber alert has been issued for the two children you see here. 16-year-old hannah anderson and her 8-year-old brother ethan. authorities believe that they could be with dimaggio. now, those children's mother, christina anderson, was found dead sunday in a burned home that belonged to dimaggio. along with the body of a child who has not been identified. "outfront" at the san diego sheriff's office, i want to find out how this could have happen, paul. first of all, we're talking about these bodies that this happened on sunday. do police have any leads about where dimaggio and has nota and ethan might be? >> no, they do not. as we speak, this has been

expanded to a nationwide search. federal authorities involved, including the fbi and u.s. marshals and of course, san diego county detectives. one thing at play here, the mexican border, extremely close to the town where dimaggio lived so they've expanded it well beyond just this county and are looking for him all over the united states. if you think about the time line, if they found his house burning at about 6:00 sunday night, he now has had two days to drive away in what they describe as a blue nissan versa with california plates. as you pointed out, they issued an amber alert for that vehicle. >> so i guess if they don't have any idea where they are. found dead sunday, the mother in a burned home that the suspect owned, right? and now these children have disappeared. one of them, a 16-year-old girl, a beautiful girl. what do you know about the relationship between james lee dimaggio and this family? these people?

is there a link? what could have motivated this? >> well, let's start with what detectives say. they stay mother and dimaggio had a very close plutonic relationship. other relatives and authorities have said, it would not be uncommon to see this family with dimaggio. he apparently had known the children since they were very little. so again it would not be uncommon for them to be at the house. i have to tell you this and this requires some reading between the lines but one law enforcement source said to me that the remains found inside the house were not inconsistent with those of an 8-year-old child. so it may just be that indeed, they're looking for the 16-year-old girl right now. a very desperate urgent search to try to find dimaggio and to find hanna anderson. >> so the, obviously one of the bodies could be the 8-year-old boy that may also be missing right now with dimaggio. that child could of course have

horribly perished. any sense of what might have motivated him to take this 16-year-old? any sort of bizarre situation there? >> so far, no one is saying anything on the record. speculation, of course, that perhaps in some way, and we'll leave this to some other people who might want to second-guess. there might have been a link between dimaggio and the 16-year-old girl, hannah. she is 5'7", 115 pounds. they're looking for her. no sign of either of them. >> thank you very much. as paul said, this is a nationwide search. now letters from jerry sandusky. the former penn state football coach who as you all are aware was convicted last june of 45 counts of child sex abuse has been writing to friends from behind bars. in the handwritten letters which were obtain by tmz he writes in part, i must fight my personal battles to learn from, grow from and endure the circumstances.

i am trying to get better. trying to get better. can a convicted pedophile get better? clinical psychologist jeff guardier is "outfront." the question i had was, if you are a pedophile, can you ever not be a pedophile? >> you're always a pedophile. it is an impulse control disorder. what we do as treating specialists, to make sure you stay in recovery but you're always mindful that you have this impulse control disorder, that you have to be on top of all the time. >> so is it more like an addiction as opposed to a sexual orientation? >> much more like an addiction, absolutely. >> in another excerpt from the letter, sandusky writes, i have written and continue to write my account of what has happened. god's light has warmed me with many letters of support and motivation. my plan is to continue the battle until the last whistle blows. all right. so this sounds to me, you know,

that he is going ahead with, i'm going to keep fighting this. he is obviously fighting an appeal to overturn the conviction. this is an person saying i admit i'm a pedophile. this is a person saying i'm going to fight to get out of here. >> that's right. he never admits that he's a pedophile. doesn't take any responsibility. still keep pointing fingers at everyone else. holds other people complicit and we see this in the mind of a pedophile. we saw with it ariel castro. the threat continues here. he says he wants to get better but we're not sure what he wants to get better from. >> right. because he doesn't admit. let me ask you this again. this is so important to so many people around the country when you have people convicted of crime against children who then go and live back in neighborhoods. you're saying that it is something you fight every day. if you are a pedophile, it's not that you're suddenly be going to have an attraction to a child. >> even the healthiest people who try to get through being a

pedophile, those are the ones smart enough to know, they've got to be on guard at all times. it is about people, places and things. so to not place themselves in any situations where they're around children because they can't even trust themselves. that's why we monitor and say they need life-long treatment. >> jeff gardere. thank you very much. a man who shot and killed 14 people at ft. hood in court today. why the judge is allowing him, the man who said he killed these people, to question the survivors of his attack. plus, bill clinton in a very tough position. what did he say about what he really thinks of anthony weiner when he was asked today in africa? and dramatic video of a newspaper delivery truck flying off a highway. we'll be right back.

. our third story "outfront," murder confession. majored in aal hasan confessed to killing 13 people in ft. hood, texas. because he is representing himself, he is also now cross examining his own victims. ed lavendera is "outfront." >> reporter: dress in the an army combat uniform and an american flag decorating his sleeve, majored in nadal hasan. the evidence will clearly show i am the shooter, he declared in opening statements. prosecutors are fighting for the death penalty but major hasan is on his own war. he is on a mission to justify killing 13 people and wounding

more than 30 others in the horrific ft. hood massacre four years ago. hasan went on to say i was on the wrong side and i switched sides. prosecutors say hasan felt a jihad duty to kill as many soldiers as possible, that he was targeting soldiers preparing to deploy to fight war in afghanistan. heavy security is in place for major hasan's court martial. it block by sand baskets. he has flown in by helicopter from the nearby county jail where he is being held. he is acting as his own attorney and will likely question his own victims as the trial continues. >> i got shot twice in the lower back. >> 41-year-old christopher royal is one of those victims preparing to stare down hasan in court. the chief warrant officer is still recovering from his wounds, nerve damage down his arm, back and legs. the trauma is more mental for this married father of a young boy. >> i can't go to crowded places

anymore. i don't even go to the mall anymore. i can't take my child to disneyland because i can't deal with it. i can't take my child to six flags because i can't deal with it. >> royal has found solace and healing in the gym. he works out twice a day for a total of four hours while the government categorize as an outbreak of workplace violence. royal said he considers hasan a terrorist but has forgiven him. every day he goes by the ft. hood memorial honoring his fallen comrades. >> i talk to the soldiers out there. i don't know if that makes sense. but i see that i can go on because they can't. so that's what helped me throughout my day. to keep going. and then when i go by the site, it continues to help me go on. it was 13 that did not make it past that site. so that kind of pushes me

through. >> reporter: with nadal hasan representing himself, a lot of people looking very closely at every move in the courtroom and many people worried about the fact that nadal hasan would be cross examining his very own victims. ted chance to do that once today. one of the witnesses that was called was one of the first people who identified nadal hasan as the shooter. and oddly enough, nadal hasan, when he had a chance to cross examine that witness, that soldier, chose not to. so it was interesting. he had very few questions for very few of the witnesses after prosecutors were done with him. that is something we'll continue to watch closely as this trial goes on. >> thanks very much. still to come, the republican party has threatened cnn. they say kill a planned hillary

welcome back to the second half of outfront. we start the second half of our show with stories from the front line. i want to begin with the man who allegedly drove his car into a crowd of people on venice beach's boardwalk. he has now formally been charged with murder. he is 38 years old, nathan lewis campbell. he was charged in the death of an italian woman on her honeymoon when she was killed. 16 others were injured. campbell has pleaded not guilty to murder and 33 other charges. if he is convicted, he faces a possible life sentence. we are learning more about the circumstances that led a snake to kill two young boys, brothers, ages 4 and 6 during a sleepover in canada. sometime before dawn on monarch 100-pound african rock python came crashing through ceiling apartment where they were staying and likely squeezed them on death. now there had been confusion as to where this snake came from. there have been some reports it may have come from a pet store. other reports that it could have

come from an aquarium in that very apartment. steve bento from the department of natural resources tells "outfront," african rock pythons are not only illegal in new brunswick but the pet store was not licensed as we try to figure out where that snake came from. former president bill clinton speaks out about the new york mayoral race. during a trip to rwanda, he was asked about whether he has advice for anthony weener and his wife. clinton officiated at their wedding. so from africa, here's what he had to say about it. >> everyone understands that we won't be involved as long as our personal friends and people whom we feel obligations are involved. so the feelings i have are all personal. and since they are, i shouldn't talk about them. >> two takeaways. clinton has feelings about the weiner scandal and he won't say but don't expect clinton to pit

one friend against the other. here in new york they have three friends involved in the election. they are friends water temperature of them and it says something pretty significant that they are unwilling to endorse and have not been willing to endorse the husband of the woman they call their second daughter. yesterday it was the "washington post" and today it is amazon art. a new online fine art store that features more than 40,000 art works from 150 galleries. a huge project. and i'm be talking about art you put on your college dorm wall. we're about monet, warhols and norman rockwells. you can get something for as low as $25. jean tells us no, segment is safe from amazon. it has been 731 days since the united states lost its top credit rating. what are we doing to get it

idea. what's your specific problem with the films? >> well, you know, i just think that groups like nbc and cnn that are in the business of news ought to take into consideration the fact that if you want to actually moderate and produce a debate that chooses a nominee for president on the republican side of the aisle, that it would be reasonable to have the chairman of the party say hang on a second. you ought not be doing feature films or documentaries and mini series about what we know to be a very likely candidate that is running on the democratic side of the aisle. look, cnn and nbc can do what they want to do. that's their right. but it is also my right, erin, as chairman of the party to say if you go forward with this, then i'm going to choose not to include you in the debate process and the moderating of our primary debates in our party. i think this is a reasonable

thing for me to be doing. and i think it is actually something that a chairman of a national party ought to be doing. >> let me ask you this. this is what bing the cnn document army i'm not going on talk for nbc and i don't work for cnn film either. i know that they commissioned a feature length documentary. an important word on hillary rodham clinton and the director of it is an academy award winning director. i know you're well aware of this, charles ferguson. ferguson made the film, inside job. and a review of that film in the nation, which as you're well aware as a liberal magazine said, his film attacks the bush administration and offers an equally scathing evaluation of president obama. so a liberal man slammed a democratic president. i know you've called the cnn film an in kind donation to the campaign. how do you know this documentary by cnn films might not be really nasty about hillary and

therefore helpful for the rnc in. >> actually, i don't think it matters. i don't think it matters if it is really negative or positive. i think presidential elections are largely elections that go to the point of popularity. i think it is a personality that's being built. if hillary clinton runs, chit looks like she is gearing up to, then she will just build up her campaign. use the fact news networks are building up her name. even if it is negative. unless you're an idiot like anthony weiner, generally, i will tell you, generally, erin, these are positive developments for candidates. it builds up that cult of personality and cnn is going to play a role in it. i don't think you should. i don't think your network should be playing a role in building up hillary clinton. if hillary doesn't run, then they'll have plenty of time to run all the documentaries in the world about hillary clinton. so cnn doesn't have to proceed

right now. >> the bigger issue you're facing, there is context here. some people say what you're saying makes a lot of sense. then there's this. in 2012 the gop had 20 televised primary debates. that was kind of insane. >> ridiculous. >> it was too many. your candidates had some or ifg moments, i'll just play a couple of them. >> i would do away with the education -- commerce, and let's see -- i can't. the third one, i can't, sorry. oops! >> i'll tell you what. $10,000? $10,000 bet? >> i'm not in the betting business. >> obviously those were not good moments, right? we all know that. but you don't want asle debates next time. so a critic might say you're getting a nice way to feed your base. going out against liberal media. when what you're really

accomplishing is cutting out 20 debates. more than half would go away if you cut out cnn and nbc. >> well, look. there's plenty of people and groups that would love to host our debates. the fact is, what you're showing here is making our case. that we ought not have moderators that are in the business of make news at the expense of our party and our candidates moderate our debates. moreover, we ought not have moderators and company in the business of promoting a democratic opponent three years before an election. so you're making our case. which is number one, nbc and cnn ought to halt their promotional movies of hillary clinton. >> you're saying if we air anything on hillary clinton, even if it is nasty, it is promoting her, right? >> it doesn't matter. the fact is, if your company is so interested in spending million of dollars in promoting hillary clinton when they know darn well that hillary clinton and the peel around her are

gearing up for a presidential election, then that is a choice as a news agency that is trying to be, at least claims to be fair, ought to stop in their tracks and think about what the effects of that are. if you don't care, if cnn doesn't care, then i don't care either. we move on without cnn and without nbc. it is pretty simple. there's plenty of media throughout for us to work with. >> there are, and of course if you got rid of cnn and nbc, that would leave you with, when it come to the primaries, the vast majority are on cable so you would have a lot on fox. that's why i wanted to ask you about that. >> you have fox, you have pbs, you have abc, you have cbs, you have a lot of other channels on cable. we can do salem communications. we can do radio. we can do town halls. we can do lincoln douglas debates. the sun doesn't rise and set with cnn and nbc. erin, i like you.

i don't have a problem with you. but this is easy to understand. >> but what about in 2005? a & e ran an adaptation of john mccain. he was widely seen as a candidate. he then ran. you didn't boycott then. >> listen, i can't, i was a candidate for state senate, i think back then. i can't speak to the past. what i can speak to is that we had, number one, a 23-debate traveling circus in our party a year and a half ago. number work the we had moderators that did not have the best interests of our party and our nominees at heart. and number three, we've got two major networks that are spending million of dollars and pretty high level actresses to be part of these movies. and i'm not going to sit around as party chairman and act like nothing is wrong. this is not right, erin. and i'm saying i've had it with

this stuff and i'll try to do something about it. >> final question. in the 2008 primary season, the candidates decided to skip a debate held by fox news. the democrats. then the debate was canceled. and fox news chairman and ceo said this. >> any candidate for high office of either party who believes he can black list any news organization is making a terrible mistake about journalists. and any candidate of either party who can not answer direct, simple, even tough questions from any journalist runs a real rick of losing the voters. >> i don't know what my boss jeff zucker would say but it sounds like he might say what roger alees is saying. >> not at all. he did not say any candidate that doesn't appear before cnn or nbc isn't fit to serve. they can come on your show every night if they want.

and they can take all the tough questions in the world. the question is if the party is going to spend time and money and resources and organizing a debate calendar, should we have networks and moderators promoting hillary clinton depose our candidates? and i say no way. >> thanks very much to reince priebus. former president george w. bush is recovering from heart surgery tonight. he is 67 years old. earlier he was fitted with a stent. he went in for a routine physical and that revealed blockage in one of his arteries. it was performed without any complication. he is reportedly in high spirits. he is going home tomorrow. every year though, nearly a million stents are inserted into americans. 1 million. we looked into this. that brings me to tonight's number. $7 billion. that is the estimated value of the world's stent market. 37% of that money is generated right here in the united states. do you think we have a health care speck problem?

the three major players of this country are boston scientific, abbott and med tronnic. it is a huge business. the biggest of the big boys, boston scientific is looking at 70% gross margins. can you imagine? you could cut that by just a little bit and save us all hundreds of millions of dollars. to put it in perspective, a grocery store is lucky to pull 3% margins. still to come, a black college student threatened by his white classmates. the victim has asked to spend more time with his attackers. plus, the most friendly city in america. is it yours? and a major development in the case tonight. and the shoutout. a jaw-dropping crash. take a look at this video. we have it highlighted. a car swerving on the freeway. look at how that crash is run baghdad is a "boston globe" delivery truck. it was send over a guardrail and

on to an exit ramp. according to our cnn affiliate, the driver of the swerving car was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. the shoutout goes to the truck driver who has survived that crash. with the spark cash card from capital one... boris earns unlimited rewards for his small business. can i get the smith contract, please? thank you. that's three new paper shredders.
