out a christie staffer's order to close lanes to the bridge. now, his attorney is suggesting that christie knew about the incident as it was unfolding, although, christie said in public on several occasions that he did not. >> erin mcpike is live in washington, what have you learned, erin? >> well, christi and picturer there's tricky words in a three-page letter sent to the port authority yesterday. evidence exists as well tying will christie having the knowledge of the lane closures during the period when the lanes were closed contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference." now, we should stress here, this doesn't say christie knew about the underlying reason which is political retribution to the may of ft. lee for not endorsing christie last year. now, it doesn't say that he knew in fact directly about the lane

closures, specifically, ahead of time. it simply says evidence exists that ties christie to knowledge of it. and that's what makes the latest revelation murky. christie administration responded saying mr. wildstein's lawyer confirms what they have said all along, he had absolutely no prior knowledge of the closures before they happened. as the governor set in a december 13th press conference he only first learned lanes were closed when was reported by the press and as he said in his january 9th press conference, had no indication that this was anything other than a traffic study. and he read otherwise the man of january 8th, the gore denies mr. wildstein's lawyers other assertions." >> i knew nothing about this. and until it started to be reported in the papers about the closure. even then, i was told this was a traffic study.

>> now, in case anyone's forgotten it was christie's deputy chief of staff bridget kelly who e-mailed time for some traffic problems in ft. lee to david wildstein, a christie appointee at the port authority. and wildstein replied, got it. up to this point, none of the documentation that the new jersey legislation has reviewed in their estimation ever mentions jeezty. so the attorney leading the investigation told cnn yesterday so-called evidence and he's his- concerned that its very existence was leaked to the media before the investigatory committee got a chance to see what that purportrd evidence is. the second claim is wildstein contesting accuracy of statements christie made about him and that he could prove those are wrong. but that could prove just their different recollections of their own relationship which dateses back to high school. take a listen to what christie said about his former high

school classmate. >> david and i were not friends in high school. we were not even aquakwacquaint. i was the class president and athlete. i don't know what david was doing during that period of time. we went 23 years of not seeing each other. still a lot of details to flesh out here. >> thank you. >> while all the christie news was breaking, the new jersey governor made a surprising appearance with the self-described king of media howard stern. he dropped in with him at midtown manhattan, and he made a couple jokes with what he calling the real representative of new jersey. listen to this. >> don't be disappointed i'm not the representative of new jersey you want to see right now. the representative of new jersey you want to see right now, it's

not bubbabooey. >> no. >> the representative you want to see is one of new jersey's favorite sons one of my good friends and a great artist, ladies and gentlemens are jon bon jovi. >> christie spent about 30 minutes at the birthday bash. sounds like they had a good old time with that crowd. >> yes. >> for a few hours yesterday, super bowl organizers, they really faced kind of a nightmare they were dreading. they're on guard for this. >> envelopes with suspicious powder ahead of the big game entered an office in new york. turns out the powder was harmless. >> it was a jolt, rarldless, for authorities determined to make sure everyone in town for the super bowl is safe and sound. susan candiotti has more for us. hi, susan. >> reporter: christi and victor, good morning.

it's all quiet now but it was anything but for several hours on friday when letters containing a spifs white powder were received at six hotels around the area of the super bowl site in east rutherford, new jersey. and authorities quickly sprung into action, the joint terror task force, calling it a routine response. but, of course, they had to check these letters pout and they discovered after testing them that all of them were nontoxic, including one letter that was sent to former mayor rudy giuliani at his offices in downtown new york city. however, authorities say on initial tests it proved that this white powder was something that was not hazardous. vast, they'll be conducting more tests to find out exactly what was. in one instance, we're told the substance was cornstarch. the content of the letter sent

to the former mayor included the phrase "always in my thoughts." obviously, not a threatening phrase. but it just goes to show you the heightened security around the super bowl event. in this case, no problem. christi and victor. >> all right, susan, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> well, of course, the threat here was not real. but it was a wake-up call for all of us, exposing how vulnerable places like hotels could be. >> first thing i thought of was, it's a good distraction, if somebody wanted to do something. and it's a distraction that police just can't afford to have, what, two days before one of the biggest sporting events of the year. let's bring in cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes. good morning to you. >> good morning, christi. >> first of all, let me ask, is something like this serious enough to force officials to postpone kickoff, say, if it

would happen again today? >> no, i don't think it will. they'll treat is like they already did, security envelopes, send it for testing and then do precautionary tests with anybody who handled the powder. several individuals, postal workers went to the hospital just to be checked as a precaution to be checked to see if they had any evidence of being sick and decontamination. >> just two years ago, in 2011, a new york man was convicted in newark, new jersey, for mailing a powdered -- same type of hoax. mailing powder to a new jersey newspaper and he was convicted under the federal statute for that. after that was investigated by the new jersey joint terrorism task force and other agencies, as well as postal inspection service has a special unit, dangerous mail inspections unit, that also works on these cases. so it's a very serious matter. that individual was convicted. and anybody convicted under a

couple of statutes that apply to this can do anything from five to ten years in prison. and huge fines as well for doing it. >> you know, i look now at the resources that were diverted to these hotels, and so much has gone into making sure that new jersey, and new york, are safe. i wonder if someone who is pulling off this hoax diverts all of those resores to distract all of the officers, so they can attack. so there can be a real attack. >> i don't think that's the problem, victor. you know, the hundreds and thousands of law enforcement officers that are currently in the new york city/new jersey area, in preparation of the olympics, the command posts that they have established, they have plenty of resources. so in that sense, yes, it's a diversion. but the greater problem is, that the individuals that handled these envelopes and got the powder on them, you know, initially, you don't know what's in those envelopes and even though the field testing has

said they're safe. they still have to go for additional scientific testing which may take up to a week to actually verify that they're safe. in the interim, going back to 2001 when letters containing anthrax were mailed, people that handled them, some people died. so if you get that powder on you, you're wondering in the days ahead, are you doomed to death. and so, that's a legitimate fear for everybody that handled that material, and that's why this is such a serious matter. >> tom fuentes, we always scompesht your perspective. thank you. >> you're welcome. wall street is saying good-bye to a brutal january. the dow tumbled more than 5% last month, marking its worst january performance since 2009. blue chip stocks finished 150 points. concerns over weak corporate earnings and slowing overseas continue to keep investors on edge. all right. you know what we're talking about now, it is a saturday

airplane. >> so they searched. remember, the 19-year-old, pop star, has landed in new jersey, and he was going to watch the super bowl tomorrow. and our nick valencia is following that story for us. >> what a bad couple weeks for this guy. >> to say the least. >> he allegedly had pot on the plane. they called the ground officials to notify them. they searched the plane with two drug dogs but they couldn't find anything. he was let go. the reason he was flagged over is because he has these two pending criminal charges. dui case pending in miami. the assault charge coming, he was in canada, on way to the super bowl. more trouble. >> when you break it down, you've got the street racing the accusations of being under the influence of drugs and alcohol, egging a neighbor's house.

mind, let's do it again. and now they convict her. that would be double jeopardy in the united states. this italian justice system the way it's played out anyhow, it seems less of a trial and something of a bizarre stage play. if you go back to the beginning, the prosecutor created out of thin air a theory that this was a satanic orgy gone wrong. he was found guilty of prosecutorial misconduct. that right there should have been enough to throw this out the window. and it goes on and on. amanda knox's family has spent down to their last penny all their money fighting for their daughter. now they got to keep fighting, there's no closure, this cloud of possible extradition down the road hangs over her. even though experts say it's unlikely, it's a nightmare. >> exactly.

the thing is if the conviction hold up, you know, even after an appeals process, what is your take? should the u.s. extradite her? >> well, i don't certainly think the united states should extradite her, i think that would participate in a farce, in a travesty of justice. most experts say because of the whole double jeopardy issue the fact that she was found innocent, not guilty. and she was actually found innocent is the way they phrase it over there. there's no way she could be found guilty, that violates our constitutional concepts and, therefore, they would not participate in sending her back to serve time. but here's really one of the ago c agonizing things. amanda knox is concerned about her ex-boyfriend sollecito who was stopped near the border and told give us your passport and you cannot leave the country.

what would happen if this conviction stands, raffaele would have to serve decades behind bars while amanda knox is free in the united states. i know that would anger people in italy and it would seem even more an egregious conduct of justice. they should both be free. >> you can watch jane on hln. still to come on "new day," president obama one-on-one with jake tapper. >> and he was taking tough questions. why is that recent encounters with marijuana don't jibe with his administration's policy. before he got married. it started in his very first apartment. see that overdue bill? it arrived after he moved out. and he never got it. but he's not worried. checking his credit report and score at experian.com allowed him to identify and better address the issue...

have one casually. >> yeah, that's not good. >> it will be interesting to see if chris cuomo does get the invite to north korea that he gave him. let's talk here about new york, new jersey, the super bowl. i know you got your big screen tv. you've got your game face on already. it's that close. >> game face is on. it's always one of our favorite wookds here. a favorite sunday for a lot of team, it's a look at metlife stadium. the denver broncos who battled the seattle seahawks. andy scholes is across the hudson in new york on the eventual super bowl boulevard. andy, i know there's a lost excitement there. maybe not this hour, but people are ready? >> yeah, not a lot of action going on right now, guys. but during the day, this is the place to be. they transformed 13 blocks on broadway and times square basically an nfl fan's dream

world. called super bowl dream world. you can go down there and get pictures with lombardi and much more. we're about 26 hours away from the broncos and seahawks hitting the field. one the hot topics has been marijuana use in the nfl. it's ironic the two teams that made the super bowl come from the two states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use. that's, of course, colorado and washington. during his annual state of the league address yesterday, roger goodell, he spoke about this issue, handy answered a question we all want to ask. >> i am randomly tested and i'm happy to say i am clean. we'll continue to follow the medicine. our experts right now are not indicating we should change our policy in any way. we're not actively considering

that at this point in time. if it's down the road that's something we would never take off the table if it could benefit our players. >> one of my favorite stories cups from the broncos' mike adams. he says if denver wince the super bowl he said he's not going to disney world, he's going to keep his helmet on and pads and walk home from metlife stadium. it's not too far, about ten miles, but a long way to walk after a football game. according to pregame.com, sunday's game is on pace to be the biggest football game of all time. one economics grad is going to put $600,000 on this game. but he's going to do it in a funny way. he's betting on the weird prop ads that you can make during the super bowl. his name is rufus peabody, he

does it the prop bets on this. he said he wants to win about 5% or 10 or on $600,000. you can bet all all kinds of things on the super bowl, what color gatorade can get poured on the winning coach. how long the national anthem is going to be. lots of fun stuff with this game. >> i'm going with orange for the color. rufus peabody is his name. andy scholes there on super bowl boulevard. thank you. >> thanks, andy. like a lot of us, we just want to see the ads. >> yes. >> not to take anything away from the super bowl but come on. >> we're going give you a sneak peek of those all morning long. one right after the break. >> in the meantime, policing the super bowl is much more than a game. up next, one cnn reporter gets a behind-the-scenes look at how police are keeping people safe before kickoff. as $45 a month?

watching us on the super bowl. gawking, mocking, laughing, it's not a scene from "mean girls," it's what gsa agents are allegedly doing every day. new claim from a former agent on what workers are really doing at security checks. your "new day" continues now. >> yeah, we know you wondered about that, too. >> every time you stand there with your arms up. >> i know it. grab your coffee, your juice, whatever your pleasure is in the morning, sit back and relax. we've got you covered up. >> i don't know whatever your cup of pleasure is. add tea to the list. >> there you go. >> victor blackwell, 7:00, "new day saturday." >> okay. we want to start this hour with the new revelations in the george washington bridge scandal that is threatening new jersey governor chris christie's second term. >> and it centered around this

man, david wildstein, he's the former new jersey port authority official who carried out a christie staffer's order to close access lanes to the bridge. now, his attorney is suggesting christie knew about the incident as it was unfolding. although christie said in public on several occasions that he did not. >> erin mcpike is live in washington looking at this. erin, what do you know this morning? >> well, christi and victor, there's what you might call tricky wording in one paragraph of a three-page letter that wildstein's attorney sent to the port authority. so here it is "evidence exists as well, tieing mr. christie having nothing to the lane closures during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference." now, to stretch, this doesn't say christie knew about the underlying alleged reason which is political retribution against the may of ft. lee for not endorsing christie for re-election last year.

or that he knew about the lane closures ahead of time. so christie's administration responded in a statement saying mr. wildstein's lawyer confirms what the governor has said all along. he had absolutely no prior knowledge of the lane closures before they happened. as the governor said in a december 13th press conference, he only first learned lanes were closed when it was reported by the press and as he said in his january 9th press conference had no indication that this was anything other than a traffic study, until he read otherwise the morning of january 8th." so here's what christie claims he knew and when he says he knew it. >> and i knew nothing about this. and until it started to be reported in the papers about the closure. but even then, i was told this was a traffic study. >> there's still some confusion about whether it was the closures themselves. or the motivation for them that christie was referring to in the later press conference. and that's what makes this

latest revelation kind of murky, christi and victor. >> erin, take us back. people who are kind of listening from the peripheral here, david wildstein, what was his original role in this scandal? >> okay. well, it was christie's deputy chief of staff who e-mailed time for traffic problems in ft. lee to david wildstein who was a christie appointee at the port authority. and wildstein had that famous reply "got it." i want to tell you the second claim in the letter is wildstein contesting accuracy of statements christie made about him and that he can prove those are wrong. but it could be there are differing recollection of their relationship which goes all the way back to high school. they were high school classmates. take a listen 0 what christie said about him at this press conference. >> david and i were not friends in high school. we were not even acquaintances in high school. we didn't travel in the same

circles in high school. i was the class president and athlete. i don't know what david was during during that period of time. we went 23 years out seeing each other. >> and let me point out that the whole purpose of this three-page letter from wildstein's attorney in the first place was to the port authority, asking them to reask their initial decision newt pay wildstein's legal bills for this whole fiasco, christi and victor. so make of that what you will. >> we'll talk more about it throughout the morning. erin mcpike, thank you. as the new allegations surfaced, governor christie, he hit the town to help the king of all media celebrate his birthday. he seemed to be upbeat, christie did. dropped by howard stern's star-studded birthday party in midtown manhattan. christie told a few jokes. introduced the man he calls the real representative of new jersey, jon bon jovi, we know he

spent about 30 minutes there and was able to avoid reporters. if there's any weekend that new jersey can nut afford distractions is this that weekend zblnt state, of course, hosting the super bowl there and in new york city, we should point out police have got their guard up. we'll show you live pictures at times square and super bowl boulevard. yesterday's hoax where suspicious white powder was found at several sites just kind of added to the tension. cnn's alexandra field is live there for us. >> you got an up close look at all the precautions that police are taking. tell us about it. >> reporter: sure, good morning, christi, victor. we know that state police and military aircraft will both be used to help secure the super bowl sunday afternoon. really, on the front of that, you'll find u.s. customs and border agents. they took us up in the air and showed us exactly how they would respond in the case of any kind of threat. protecting metlife stadium and patrolling the spectacular

airspace around it. it's expected 180 million fans will have their eyes on the field, while u.s. customs and border protection agents take over the skies above it. we took a ride on one of three black hawk helicopters that will form part of super bowl xlviii's defensive line. a ten-mile perimeter, a strict no-try zone. in anyone breaches that perimeter for any reason, they should expect to see a black hawk up close. so a scary experience if you're up there flying and unintentionally breach the perimeter? >> exactly, unless you've been trained in the military, it's highly unlikely you've ever flown in formation with another aircraft, meaning you've never been within 500 feet of another aircraft while flying. >> reporter: some the case of an intruder, a black hawk will intercept and escorting it to the ground where federal agents

will first be waiting. >> they're going to first be shocked to have a large aircraft like this come up to them. secondly, they're going to come to the realization that something is wrong. >> reporter: on our own tour, we got a surprise but this was a welcome one. a fleet of military helicopter it's heading for metlife stadium where military aircraft will perform ceremonial super bowl duties on sunday. an exception to the no-fly rule and a stunning one. the border agents have told us in past super bowls we actually have had cases of intruders. they say usually it's someone making a simple mistake or even sometimes student pilots. christi, victor. >> alexandra field. good to know. thank you so much, ma'am. let's take a look at "your money" now. wall street is eye saing

good-bye to january. it was a brutal month. the dow tumbled more than 5% last month and parked the worst january performance since 2009. the blue chip stock index finished down 150 points. there are concerns over weak corporate earnings and the slowing growth overseas. those are continuing to keep investors on edge. >> california is experiencing one of the worst droughts in history. officials are cutting off the tab that it sends to the state's reservoir system to local agencies which means those local agencies are going to have to look elsewhere for water now. we do know that most water districts have local storage and groundwater that they can draw from. the good news, this state produces half of u.s.-grown fruits nuts and vegetables. this drought could mean either shortages, price hikes or both. just so you're prepared. another winter storm is expected to bring some other out of places like chicago, kansas city as well. >> and i happen to be sitting

could get even more. so this is going to be a snowy situation for you. detroit, you could see anywhere from 4 to 6 inches but this should be pushing out by later this afternoon. left just a little bit of rain and snow around chicago. it pushes on out, guys doesn't even touch the coastal northeast areas. we're going to see a dry super bowl. and temperatures are going to be a lot warmer than they could be this time of year. >> i'm sure folks there at the game appreciate it. >> yeah. >> jennifer gray, thank you. >> justin beeieber -- what do y think i'm going to say next? -- is in trouble again. >> this time at the new jersey airport. they search his plane. and a guilty verdict against manda knox could set off a monster extradition battle as italy tries to bring her to justice for murder. and knox, she's fighting to stay out of the prison.

this is all part of a scandal over lane closures at the george washington bridge. david wildstein's attorney said in a letter that, quote, evidence exists to contradict christie's claim that he didn't know about the closures until after they happened. no evidence, though, has tied christie to ordering the lane closures which a lot of people suspect was political retaliation. number two, investors gave stocks the cold shoulder on january. dow tumbled 150 points friday which pushed the index lower by 5% for the month. that makes the dow's worst performance for january since 2009. investors are concerned about falling currencies and emerging markets and disappointing corporate earnings in the u.s. number 3, police are hunting right now for a gunman who allegedly shot two students near michigan state university. one has been treated and released. and the shooting happened at a

apartment complex. they do not believe it was random. number four, the fbi said white powder found at the site of the super bowl is harmless. powder was also found at the office of former mayor rudy giuliani along with a strain letter that included the line "you're being my best friend." who injuries are reported. number 5, are you counting down yet? yeah, tens of thousands of you are going to pack metlife stadium. and the weather's expected to warm up just in time for kickoff. cnn meteorologist jennifer gray here. do not put your bathing suits on, people. not that warm. >> it's all relative, but considering the winter we've had, it could be much, much worse. let's look at the radar forecasted for sunday morning. just a couple of showers offshore. and not seeing anything as far as onshore. as we go through game time, looks like a dry forecast. we are going to see the

temperatures warm up just a little bit. in fact, tomorrow, we are going to see the temperatures reach around 47 degrees but right around kickoff, temperatures will be at 43, feeling like 37. so, guys, it will be chilly, but definitely not as bad as it could be this time of year. >> i'm take chilly compared to freezing. that's good. in you use yahoo! e-mail, check your account and reset the password and do it now. yahoo! is the latest now in this growing list of companies that's been hacked. >> we do know they've declined to go into more detail for us. or even say how many user accounts are at risk right now. yahoo! says every user, every one of you, go online to resecure your information immediately. the chief technology officer at bit nine is joining us right now. harry, i've got to ask you, we hear this over and over again, is this the norm? >> unfortunately in the world we

live in now where everything is interconnected and so many people rely on the internet to do e-commerce, unfortunately, is this going to become more and more common. >> so explain this to us how the systems work. how the criminal system works. it seems like people don't rob banks anymore, they go to a target, walmart, and steal a million people's information. how does it work? >> why rob a bank when you can do this from 6,000 miles away? it's actually a pretty complex ecosystem. they have an entire supply chain. they are people who write the programs used in the attacks often purchased by criminal organizations usually out of eastern europe butless where as well. then those programs are used to steal credit card information. those credit cards are then taken by brokers who sold on the black market and carders actually purchase these cards in bulk and use those for purchases. there's actually allot of people

involved in the supply chain. >> everybody remember the number $9.48. $9.48 on our debit and credit cards, why is that charge, harry, so important? >> actually, $9.84. but both would probably be suspicious. what happens is there's one of the carders, one of the organizations purchasing cards in bulk based out of the uk, cypress and india are making charges of $9.84, just under $10, racking up millions and millions in charges. so if you see that specific charge on your card. you should call your credit card company and your bank. it's likely your card has been compromised. >> thank you for the correction. $9.84. >> so these criminals, obviously, are getting good at this. and getting better. and more of them are coming on.

is there any way possible to even catch all of these digit criminals across the world? >> well, there's no way to stop crime in general. you know, as a single swoop-over, that would be really nice. but there are ways to track down different parts of the infrastructure. so we often do here. and there are organized police efforts and international efforts to either track down the people who write the malware code or the organizations that are selling the credit card numbers. or, in this case, the organizations that are actually using the credit cards. unfortunately, there's no one piece that will break the entire organization. there's a lot of money to be made. when there's money to be made. criminals will flock. >> wow, it is amazing we're having this, one, conversation so often, and that so many americans, people around the world, their information is just snatched. remember the number $9.84. look for that one. harry srertlove, chief technology officer at bit9.

actress and singer anna kendrick on sunday. so far, it has 2.5 million views on youtube alone. all right, watch. >> i was surprised that i even got offered the part, you know, because i don't think of myself as like beer commercial babe hot you know? i mean, i'm hot, but like -- like approachable hot. like the hottest girl -- we were like days away from shooting. and then they called and told me they didn't have any money. it's disappointing, you know because i was really looking forward to the paycheck. so, i'm like back to doing this stuff which is great, but you can't stuff andy down the g-string, you know what i'm saying? >> she is so good. >> it's a great ad. >> but newcastle, would you have

any idea what she was saying? >> late in the ad she says something about it. you think, oh, my gosh, she spent all this money. the latest research shows 1 out of 5 ads that air in the super bowl actually get consumers to part with their money. >> yeah. because they're great to watch, if i'm not drinking budweiser, you can run as many says as you luke, i'm not going to get it. this is for t-mobile starring unemployed quarterback tim tebow on the benefits of not having a contract. okay. you'll get the irony, watch. >> tim tebow here. still no contract, but it's all good. without a contract, i can do my own stunts. i can save these puppies. >> go! >> and you might want to hold on to those doughnuts. ♪ bottom line -- those contracts hold you back. switch to t-mobile, and we'll

choice. a u.s. treaty with italy means she could serve 28 years in prison. your "new day" continues now. >> don't start out stressed. i do that sometimes. wake up and i'm like this. take a nice deep breath. you made it to saturday. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. 8:00 on the east coast. this is "new day saturday." >> let's start with the new jersey allegations. this is threatening christie's second term and future. >> this is surrounding the former port authority official, david wildstein. his attorney is suggesting christie knew about the inciden

incidents as it was unfolding although christie said he did not. >> we have erin mcpike in washington looking at this closely. >> reporter: there is tricky wording in the three-page letter, wildstein's attorney sent to the port authority. evidence exists tying mr. christie to the lane closures. contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference. to stress this does not say christie knew about the underlying reason for not endorsing christie last year or christie knew about the lane closures ahead of time. several hours after the letter posted online, the christie administration responded in a statement of their own. mr. wildstein's lawyer confirmed he had absolutely no prior

knowledge of the lane closures before they happened. as the governor said in the december 13th press conference, he first learned lanes were closed when first reported by the press and in the january 9th press conference, had no indication this was anything other than a traffic study until he read otherwise the morning of january 8th. well, let's rewind to the very moments. here is what christie claims he knew and when. >> and i knew nothing about this until it started to be reported in the papers about the closure. even then, i was told this was a traffic study. >> reporter: there is still confusion about the closures or the motivation behind them christie was referring to in the press conference. that is what makes this murky, christi and victor. >> we talked about the letter from david wildstein and his role in the closure of the lanes of the gwb.

>> reporter: it was christie's deputy chief of staff, bridget kelly who e-mailed time for some traffic problems in ft. lee. at the time, he was the official at the port authority who carried out the ordinance. what makes wildstein a figure this this, he and christie go way back. christie appointed him to the port authority. the second claim in the letter, he said he can state the claims were wrong. >> david and i were not friends in high school. we were not acquaintances in high school. we did not travel in the same circles in high school. i was class president and athlete. we went 23 years without seeing each other.

>> on top of all of this, let me point out the purpose of the three-page letter was wildstein's attorney asking the port authority to reconsider their initial decision not to pay wildstein's legal bills for. christi and victor. >> erin mcpike in washington. thank you. >> we want to dig deeper into what this means legally for christie and the former port authority david wildstein. >> joining us now is famed attorney alan dershowitz. i want to talk about the words. he writes evidence exists as well tying mr. christie to the knowledge of the lane closures. if you want to make a strong case to get reimbursement and you say more evidence exists.

you say my client has evidence. do you believe he actually has the evidence that exists? >> a very simple way to find out. it should be subpoenaed. he has no fifth amendment right not to disclose physical evidence that exists. they can get that without giving him broad immunity. on monday, they should simply subpoena all of his documents. a little common sense is in order here. how can anybody possibly believe that a hands on governor with a long history of taking revenge could go four days of a major traffic jam without once asking his staff, kelly or wildstein, is this really a traffic study or is this another example of revenge against a mayor who did not support me? anybody who believes that, i have a bridge to sell them. there is no way this guy didn't know. the wildstein letter shows the dominos are beginning to fall.

that his friends are beginning to abandon him. the first thing the u.s. attorney has to do is subpoena those documents. the second thing is get christie under oath. so far he has had a free pass. he can talk all he wants at press conference. it is not a crime to lie at a press conference. if you lie to an official and under oath, you go to jail. there is no reason the u.s. attorney shouldn't ask christie specific questions. what did you learn? when did you learn it? who did you call? did you have any conversations with kelly? are there any e-mails? why don't you use e-mails? why do you use texts? because texts disappear? you can still subpoena a person's text. the government doesn't have the text or the phone companies don't have the text, but the individual has the text. they should subpoena the texts as well. this investigation is far from over. >> let me ask you in light of

the allegations coming out of play, would you call christie in and talk to him now or would you do other investigations and see what you have on the table and see what you have later? >> you call him in now so he gets the story out before he knows the evidence. you don't give him the opportunity to listen to the evidence and frame his answers around the physical evidence. right now, he doesn't know what is out there. you call him in now, not later. you get him to tie his story down under oath under law enforcement officials. let's see what he has to say. you don't wait. i know, i'm a criminal defense lawyer. i'm the guy advising christie not to go in now. wait for the evidence and you can make your answers coincide with the physical facts. if you get them in there now before he knows the physical

evidence, you require him to tie his story now and ask hard questions. >> alan dershowitz, thank you. you will stay with us for a bit and we have other questions for you in amanda knox's new murder conviction. thank you for sticking around with us. >> thank you. new this morning, united airlines flight -- excuse me -- a united airlines flight forced to make a landing at newark airport after smoke was in the plane. >> the plane landed safely at 11:30 last night. all of the flight's 210 passengers were given hotel rooms for the evening. their flight will continue later today. super bowl organizers are taking no chances with security this week. >> especially after yesterday. we will get a look at how they

plan to keep the game and everybody there safe. plus, convicted of murder, acquitted and convicted again. will amanda knox wind up in an italian prison or stay here free in america.

i will never go willingly back to the place where i -- i'm going to fight this until the very end and it's not right and it's not fair. >> obviously a pretty emotional

and defiant amanda knox speaking out on the murder of meredith kercher. amanda knox is vowing never to return to italy. the question is does she have a choice and what exactly is the evidence against her? let's bring in paul callan and attorney alan dershowitz. first of all, we have double jeopardy in this country. a lot of people say i don't understand how they can try her twice. what is the plausibility they will send her back? >> those are two questions. double jeopardy is

misunderstood. the italian court tries it and it goes to an appellate court. it is judges and civilians on the case. the difference between the united states and over there, the appellate court can call witnesses and hear testimony. it is like another trial. it goes to the italian supreme court. they send it back for a second trial. she was acquitted in one of the trials. in the united states, that would be the end of the case. in italy, double jeopardy doesn't apply. on extradition, the courts don't apply the double jeopardy rule to the country we are sending somebody back to because obviously different countries around the world have different rules how they process cases. they look to see for due process

of law and the defendant was treated fairly. we don't require that foreign systems mimic our systems. from a legal standpoint, she will not avoid extradition based on double dejeopardy. the president may say i'm not sending her back, but on the law, i don't think she will win. >> alan, what do you think? >> i don't know public opinion is supportive of her innocence. there was a compelling case presented against her. resulting in thousands of people put in american jails today. she falsely accused somebody of a crime of which he was innocent. she admitted and denied she was at the crime scene. she created a false alibi which her boyfriend disputed. they found small amounts of her dna on the knife. they found the boyfriend's dna

on the bra clasp. again, not enough. they found you needed more than one person committing the murder here. who was that one person? this is not a case projected in the media of no evidence at all. it is the case of a kind that would have resulted in a conviction in most courts in america. yet, because she is attractive and she is created a media campaign all over the country, she has become very popular. i don't think we should do justice by popularity or justice by the way a person looks. this is a case for extradition. >> you think she should be extradit extradited? >> if it is held on appeal and no other clear violations of due process and no other compelling evidence coming forward, it should be treated like an

ordinary case. having said that, think there is a reasonable doubt about her guilt. it is a compelling case, but not an overwhelming circumstantial case. i think that a good lawyer in america might have won this case and a good lawyer in italy might have won this case. it is a reasonable case. >> paul, what about the guy they have convicted right now? >> godet people believe he was one of the killers. godet admitted as much -- he e admitted he was in the apartment. his foot prints are all the place. he incriminates amanda knox in an early statement he gave in the case. he said he heard amanda knox in the room in the apartment that night. he actually brings her into the case himself. you know, just to touch on what

alan dershowitz had to say. cases like this and forceful advocates who know the case inside and and they go through cases and say this is ridiculous and you cannot base a decision on this dna. what is never mentioned here is, of course, prosecutors in italy had experts on the other side. this is evidence you can rely on. ultimately, the italian courts credited or they now have credited the prosecutor's witnesses. we use the same system here in the united states. expert testimony, we send it to a jury and say which side do you believe? alan is involved in the famous o.j. simpson case. however, the jury decided to believe the witnesses that were called by the defense in the case. >> there is one other point that has to be added.

that is although there are six or seven pieces of evidence, none of which alone, proves her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, every piece of evidence points in the direction of her guilt. if you have a dna that is 20% likelihood it is her or 20% likelihood it is the boyfriend. you have a false alibi. if you add those together, you have a compelling circumstantial case. for me, the great concern is the media has presented this case as if there is no evidence and if this is a poor woman who has been falsely accused. never any mention of the victim. the victim has been ignored by the american media. in italy, it is the opposite. she is al capone. she is the worst murderer in history. a little nuance and calibration and little understanding that gray area exists would help both sides of the case. >> paul, what are the options here? she will appeal.

it is not like this will be over tomorrow. >> you know, it is astounding how long these cases take. the case went to the intermediate court and convicted. then acquitted. then the italian supreme court. they said no, no, no. you ruled improperly on several issues. we want you to look at it and sent it back. they issued a conviction decision the other day. it hasn't been published. they have 90 days to public. they will publish the analysis. that will go back to the italian supreme court. there play be an appeal to an international court on human rights issues. then back to italy and request to extradite. there is a long road for amanda knox, more time for her hair to grow out. she is sporting a new hair do in what i think is a public

relations effort to humanize amanda knox and keep the high american opinion poll. the american public is very supportive of her. that is the important thing. the president and the state department and justice follow the public opinion. >> i have a couple of seconds. alan. >> we have a hint from italy. they let her go back to the united states although the case was then pending. knowing it would be very difficult to get her back in italy. the italian government may be satisfied with convicting her and letting her spend the rest of her life in the united states and not able to travel to europe or italy. >> i agree with alan on that. true. >> both of you brought great points and important things for us to think about. paul callan and professor alan dershowitz. author of "taking the stand my

tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira today. remission is possible. there's nothing like being your own boss! and my customers are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one rate. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order.

christ christie. david wildstein's attorney says there is evidence that christie knew about the lane closures. number two, a shooter is on the loose in or around michigan this morning. police are on the hunt for a man in his 20s who they say shot two college students near michigan state university. police also say the shooting did not appear to be a random act. oe of the victims is still in critical condition. number three, after months of hearings, the state department issued the reports on the keystone pipeline. the verdict? it won't significantly impact the climate. environmentalists worry about the greenhouse gasses. the proposed pipeline would stretch between the u.s. and canada. number four, investors gave

stocks the cold showulder in january. the dow dropped 150 points on friday. that makes it the dow's worst january performance since 2009. investors are concerned over falling currencies and emerging markets. and number five, justin bieber in trouble again after airport officials smelled pot on his plane. they brought in dogs to search the jet. bieber is in town to be with friends and watch the super bowl tomorrow. well, speaking of pot, marijuana is set to light up the voting booth in florida this november. the florida supreme court this week narrowly, but they did approve a ballot measure that asks voters to legalize pot for medical uses. on the ballot in november. the side effects may be decidedly political. some are concerned that

medicinal pot is a concern for democratic voters, it may oust rick scott and others. joining me to discuss this is rick gates and maria cardona. a cnn political analyst. let's start with representative gates. you support medicinal marijuana, but at a lower thc level. your young republican supporting medical pot. why? >> the republican party can no longer have a bumper sticker approach to medical marijuana. at this stage, you cannot stage a debate on two people under the age of 40 if there is no appropriate application for cannabis. the issue is to do it in a sa safe way. >> the polls suggest you could not stage a debate with people

over 40, under 40, black, white, hispanic. i'm looking at the polls from quinnipiac and the latest from florida in november and no group here that is less than 70% who support medical marijuana in the state of florida. maria, is this for the democrats in florida what marriage equality was or let's say the marriage protection was in 2000 for the republicans nationwide? >> i think initially definitely. democrats are on the side of legalizing for medicinal purposes. the change that is happening in the country is going toward that. we are seeing it play out on the state level and now we are seeing it play out in florida. but i commend matt gaetz because he is certainly on to something, not just in terms of the right thing to do medicinally with

what he is trying to do with katie edwards in florida. by the way, big bipartisan effort there. congratulations on that. it is also a way to start getting the republican party to open up on issues where younger voters, voters of color, women voters need for this party to open up if they ever want a chance to try to get more voters, which they need on a national level. >> the reference was in 2000, karl rove bring out republican voters to vote for george w. bush. are you concerned that will happen in florida, representative gaetz? we know you bring a lot of young people to the polls. we know from the last election, overwhelmi overwhelmingly, they voted for

barack obama. >> it is usually a recipe for success to put yourself on opposite end of the electorate. i'm no political scientist. democrats, if they wanted to, did the right thing for patients, could actually mute this issue. attorney general eric holder could declassify marijuana as a schedule one narcotic. we could actually do the research in all streams of marijuana in the efficacy. we could prove there is an appropriate medical application without the risk of abuse and eroding the social fabric of our neighborhoods. the attorney general hasn't been able to do that. maybe because of the point you and maria are making. this is a blunt force to use in the upcoming political circles. this is in the bag of republicans. we put marriage equality issues

or marriage protection issues on the ballot and also put a lot of pro-life issues on the ballot. that brings out more voters to vote conservative. you will not see too many marijuana issues that fail. if you look at what happened in colorado, unexpectedly, many republicans lost because of the voters that turn out for these issues don't vote for the ballot initiative. they vote up and down the ballot. there is a realization that politics will catch up to republicans. i believe in the republican party. i think when we talk about extending people's liberty, we need to mean it. >> i want to be clear about this. i don't know if it can be boiled down to one sentence. you want the republicans to be a national party. can the republicans only be a national party if they support medical marijuana? >> i think there are two issues that are problematic for the republicans if you simply look at demographics.

marijuana and gay marriage. increasingly, you will see republicans have a pro liberty view on those subjects. >> you can make news here, too. you are always saying the party should support gay marriage? >> i think the party can always support traditional marriage. it is a matter of tone. i don't think most americans in the front of their minds are worried about what others are doing in this bedrooms. they are more worried we have $16 trillion debt and diminishing the country for the next generation. we have the best approach on the economy and how to create jobs. the more we are losing battles on the issues where we have been too dogmatic in the ideology. >> let me get to maria. i have 15 seconds for you. if this works and voters come to the polls, they also vote in

chris -- not chris christie, governor christ in florida, and you get democrats across the board in many races, what does that mean for 2016? >> i think it will certainly become much more of a central issue. i really don't think at this point although majorities of americans do approve legalization of marijuana, i don't know if by 2016 it is an issue that is front and center with all americans. matt's right. this is not an issue right now from a national level democrats frankly all agree on what needs to be done, which is why we are seeing it played out state by state. but, it could just like equality of marriage, certainly become an issue that will be more front and center in 2016, but i think it will be more of an issue beyond 2016. i would just add one more issue to what republicans need to do

to open up the possibilities to be a national party. they need to make some action happen on immigration reform. >> all right. representative gaetz -- >> we don't get worried about the politics christ makes because we don't know which party he is a member. >> he is a democrat. >> he may be a wig party by the next election. >> thank you, both. i want to tell you about firefighters in washington. they could be in trouble here after an elderly man died just outside their station. some people saying they did not act. we will tell you exactly what happened. plus, what do blake shelton and craig morgan have in common? members of the nashville grand ole opry. take a look with our country music start craig morgan. ♪

paragraph of a three-page letter that wildstein's lawyer sent. evidence exists tying mr. christie of knowledge of the lane closures during the period when the lanes were closed. contrary to what the governor stated in the two-hour press conference. this does not say christie knew about the reason about retribution of the mayor of ft. lee not endorsing christie last year. several hours after the letter posted online, the christie administration responded in their own statement. mr. wildstein's lawyer confirms what the governor knew all along. he had no prior knowledge of the lane closures before it happened. as he said in the press conference december 13th, he only efficiencies lend lanes were closed when it was reported by the press and he said in his

january 9th press conference. here is what christie claims he knew and when. >> and i knew nothing about this. and until it started to be reported in the papers about the closure. even then, i was told this was a traffic study. >> reporter: there is still confusion about whether it was the closures or the motivation behind them that christie was referring to in the press conference. that makes the latest revelation murky, christi and victor. >> we talked about this chapter is about david wildstein. why is his name so important and central to the scandal? >> reporter: it was christie's deputy chief of staff bridget kelly who e-mailed time for traffic problems in ft. lee to david wildstein and wildstein

replied, got it. what makes wildstein such an interesting figure in the story is he and christie go back to high school in 1977. then christie later appointed him to the port authority. he says they were never close. so the attorney's second claim in the letter is he can prove some of the statements made about wildstein are wrong. take a listen to what he may be referring to. >> david and i were not friends in high school, we were not acquaintances in high school. we did not travel in the same circles in high school. i was the class president and athlete. i don't know what david was doing during that period of time. we went 23 years without seeing each other. >> reporter: let me point out on top of that, the whole purpose of the three-page letter in the first place was wildstein's attorney asking the port authority to reconsider the decision not to pay wildstein's legal bills for the debacle. christi and victor. >> let's see if that happens and
