♪ new developments in the potential scandal of former house speaker dennis hastert. the man once second in line to the presidency, now at the center of a sexual abuse
3:01 am
allegation. new, this morning, a wichita state university student killed by isis while volunteering inside a morph inside of saudi arabia. and an nfl player gets kicked off the team after being charged for kicking his ex-girlfriend's dog to death. we are so glad that you're with us this morning. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. new this morning, indicted speaker of the house, dennis hastert, is accused of saex really abusing a former student. >> a minor, we're told, law enforcement officials told cnn it was a former male student of hastert. he was a wrestling coach for illinois for 16 years. that started in 1965. the news comes amid a federal indictment filed thursday against the 73-year-old. >> cnn's justice correspondent pamela brown has the latest this morning. >> reporter: well, victor and
3:02 am
christi, first came the shocking allegations from the justice department but dennis hastert had had lied to the fbi about money he way drawing about a cover-up, alleged sexual misconduct involving an underage student was the reason behind the hush money. federal sources tell cnn, dennis hastert, the longest serving republican u.s. house speaker was paying hush money to a student at the illinois high school where he once taught. more than $1 million for the former student to keep allegations hastert has sexually abused him quiet. he abruptly resigned from this washington, d.c. d.c. lobbying firm as well as from a chicago derivatives firm. the indictment did not discuss sexual abuse, instead, it focuses on how the 73-year-old former wrestling coach moved the money he was allegedly paying to former students. prosecutors say he agreed to pay an unnamed individual, quote,
3:03 am
$3.4 million. according to court records the investigation started two years ago when the sfooib started investigating mystery transactions may by hastert. big withdrawals of more than $950,000. the fbi alleges several of the withdrawals were less than $10,000 so he could evade irs detection. prosecutors say when the fbi asked hastert about the pattern of large withdrawals he said he was keeping the cash for himself. we're told by sources that federal authorities were looking at whether to bring extortion charges in this case and concluded it wasn't something they wanted to pursue. hastert has all in returned calls for comment. but a friend who recently spoke to him said that he perceives himself as the one being wronged. there is also a potential second development in this case this morning. the "l.a. times" which first revealed the sexual misconduct allegation in the case has reported there could be a second
3:04 am
person making sexual allegations. watch. >> a top government official and one that we consider very reliable. >> so, in other words, not just one individual who allegedly was sexually abused by hastert, but two individuals, is that correct? >> that's right. >> although there were no payments going on between hastert and the second, we're reporting. >> and that was hastert was a teacher and wresting coach at that high school? >> well, we believe that's the case. we don't have a lot of detail on the second victim, but in general, the charges made clear that it goes back before the time that hastert was in office. now, now, whether any new information could come out, alleging misconduct, while in office, that would really blow
3:05 am
the lid off of this case. >> do you know if these individuals, these two individuals, who allegedly were abused were minors at the time? >> i do not. that is implied by the fact that it apparently happened in the high school. but i do not know that for a fact. >> okay. so the second person making these allegations, according to "the times" was not being paid by the former speaker. >> let's talk about this with hln legal analyst joey jackson right now. joey, i want to make something very, very clear here, this indictment against hardest has nothing to do with any alleged sexual misconduct. he's only being charged with evading the irs. let's focus on those three things we know for certain right now, what is the penalty here, and what do you think they have, based on what you've heard enough to prove it? >> sure, christi, good morning.
3:06 am
and absolutely, that's an important distinction to point out. we don't know the specific knit of any alleged misconduct as it related to children. certainly, if they were minors at the time, certainly there would be statute of limitation issues that would be associated with those allegations, so what the fbi did, apparently according to this, we understand he was taking out $50,000 withdrawals from accounts that he owned and controlled. it was his own money. however, hour reporting requirements the statute provides if you take out as an individual, over $10,000, the bank has an obligation to report. apparently, christi, over the course of a year and a half or two, when he took out $170,000 they wanted to to know, banking officials, what it's going on. apparently, he was alerted not knowing for whatever reason it was $50,000. then moved to take the money out in under $10,000 increments.
3:07 am
whenever you do that, you run afoul of the statute, because what you're doing is using multiple banks to evade taking out $10,000 so it wouldn't be reported. as a result of that, the fbi had discussion with him. the problem here is two-fold. number one, it's crime to lie to the fbi. you as an individual may be under no obligation to cooperate or speak should they come knocking on your done. however, in the event you that give a false representation to them as alleged in the seven-page indictment, and say, yeah, i was using the money for me, and yeah, i don't trust the banking system. s essentially, had he agreed with the fbi, when they said, hey, what are you doing, you don't trust the banking system? he said, yeah. it's a two of had fold issue. number one, lied to the fbi that they confirm it was not for him, it was for someone else. and number two, evading those reporting requirements. in terms of the personalities it's up to five years in jail.
3:08 am
that's not to suggest that he would get five years upon a conviction but that's what's allowed by the statute. >> tom fuentes is joining us as well. tom if the sexual allegations that seem to be coming forward tend to be true, does that change what happened here? >> as joey mentioned the sexual allegations or the activity that took place 30 or 40 years ago is well beyond being able to do something with that now beyond the statute of limitations. i think what hastert is probably looking at there's no statute of limitations in the court of public opinion, that's probably why he would continue to make what intended to be $3 million in payments for hush money, essentially. as joey mentioned when the fbi conducts an official investigation when the agent identifies himself or herself as an agent that this an official
3:09 am
investigation, you don't have to talk to the fbi, but if you do, it has to be the truth. and that's what happened in this case. so he's violating section 1001 of the u.s. criminal code for tliegt fbi during an official investigation. >> so, joey, about individual "a," who is this person who was allegedly getting this money that this person was given over $1 million by hastert. >> 1.7, christi. >> some people thinking it was blackmail, is that individual seen as a victim and therefore gets to keep that money, and there will be no charges against them for alleged blackmail? if all of this turns out to be what has been alleged thus far? >> you know, christi, that's a great point. i'm certain that the defense attorneys that represent hastert will raise that issue. it's extortion, when you come to someone and you coerce them to give you money, under the
3:10 am
pretense if you don't, this is what i'm going to do. so when someone collects $1.7 million from you and it's hush money, they're especially blackmailing you. we should point out that the fbi has a great deal of discretion in what they do. do they prosecute extortion or say you're a victim, and therefore we won't do it. but hastert will be clear to point out that certainly they are victims, and if they are victims alleged, we talked about two, this complaint only references one, there are appropriate channels to go through. being a victim doesn't allow you or entitle you to break the law. whether or not the u.s. attorney doesn't prosecutor, they investigate, gives to the u.s. attorney and the u.s. attorney proceeds to prosecute the case. whether that will happen, that's yet to be determined. >> tom, did you have something you wanted to say? >> i was just going to agree
3:11 am
with joey, it's actually not the fbi's final decision. they'll gather all facts that will be submitted to the u.s. attorney's office. they may seek guidance all the way up to the department of justice and they go to the attorney general. at one time, hastert was number one to the presidency of the united states. he's a pretty high official to be undergoing this type of hush money or blackmail. depend on when it started and how long it's been going on. the facts will go to the department of justice. they'll determine if there's further charges, especially against whoever was actually receiving these thousands of dollars in payments. >> i think the allegations start in 2010, in terms of the conversation of that money between the two. tom fuentes, joey jackson, thank you so much. we'll have more on this had story. >> thank you, have a great day. >> thank you. we're also learning more this morning about a wichita state student killed in an isis attack in saudi arabia. a 22-year-old student died in yesterday's mosque bombing. we'll tell you why his fend fr

3:15 am
breaking news coming into cnn, egypt released a u.s. citizen earlier this morning who had been jailed since 2013 for
3:16 am
his support of ousted president mohamed morsi. >> a dual u.s. citizen had been on a hunger strike for at least 14 months recently sentenced to life in prison. the u.s. embassy tells cnn, the 27-year-old is on his way back to america. also developing this morning, a student from wichita state university being called a hero for saving hundreds of people from an isis suicide bomber. he gave up his own life when a bomber tried to enter a mosque in saudi arabia, and then the bomb you blew himself up. cnn's nick valencia. good to see you. >> good morning, this is the second attack in weeks that isis has claimed spongt for at a mosque. the latest to happen friday at noon. in saudi arabia at the mosque, because of a separate attack on a separate mosque, security was on high alert. according to reports, this bomber showed up just as a female, as a cover-up. security noticed him, sort of
3:17 am
chasing him away. that's when he detonated himself killing himself and three others. among those killed 22-year-old abdul al arbash, he is a student studying electrical engineering. he recently returned to saudi arabia to get married. talked about him in a memorial service this week. >> his move in saudi arabia was bravery, with bravery and heroism, he saved a lot of people. >> he's like a brother, more than a brother to everybody. if you see him out, you're going to see a smile on his face. >> state news agency in saudi arabia has not officially identified al arbash as the person who stopped the attack. wichita university did release a statement saying in part the community is saddened by the tragic death of our our students. our condolences go out to the
3:18 am
abdul jalil's family. >> to sympathizers passed along, relayed a message claiming responsibility for that attack. still no word officially about what happened from that statement news agency, but as you heard from family and friends there of that 22-year-old, they believe he's a hero and saved hundreds of lives chasing off a suicide bomber that took his on life. let's bring in retired colonel an pentagon senior strategic robert mcguiness. isis is claiming responsibility for a suicide bombing in saudi arabia last week. lieutenant colonel, saudi arabia has not historically been a target of isis. we've got now these two mosque bombings in as many weeks. are we seeing a major shift here in the priorities for isis? >> i don't think it's a major shift. i think they've always wanted to
3:19 am
establish their caliphate, victor, and that includes saudi arabia, obviously as far east as afghanistan and yemen and egypt. what we have, of course, 10% to 15% of saudi citizens has been to be shia. and those two mosques, i don't think is a mistake from isis perspective that they're going after them. you have others in the persian gulf that have large shia population as well. so the tensions that are obviously playing out in syria and iraq between iran and the sunni world, the shia/sunni world are evidencing themselves in a wider area. we find if you even have shia recruiting going on in afghanistan. and, of course, you have isis starting to make major gains in northern afghanistan, as well as the ongoing conflicts between the proxies of iran, that happen to be shia houthis in yemen.
3:20 am
so this is a growing regional war, i would argue. >> so, i want to make sure that i'm clear here in understanding what you're saying, that this is more an extension of the ongoing, long lasting sectarian violence. and really, irrespective of the geopolitical border. >> absolutely. you know, borders don't matter to isis, because clearly they've established their caliphate. and they believe that it's their right, to extend out there the entire region, recapture what would appear to be the fifth legitimate caliphate in the islamic world since the beginning of -- you know, certainly when the prophet muhammad came in 632. >> lieutenant colonel maginnis, i want ed to make sure we didn' go too far and saying this is a
3:21 am
shift. the anthrax stamps discovered the a new lab. and the guantanamo five prisoners swap for american berg burden dahl. and they're scrambling to try to prevent this release of restrictions and we'll find out what's at risk for america. (music)

. all right. time, 24 minutes after the hour. let's take a look at other stories developing this morning. president obama has signed a disaster declaration for texas after severe flooding this week. >> the white house says it will also send aid to the devastated region where 22 people have died from the severe weather. and it seems more storms in the forecast, unfortunately, over the coming days. with the possibility of heavy rain and flash flooding across the south. so we'll have a live report for you on the flooding and evacuations in the next hour. this investigation going on in the u.s. military labs in the mistaken shipment of anthrax has turned up another live sample, this from a 2008 batch sent to australia. of the pentagon is now seeing if any samples were mailed out. earlier this week, four lab workers in the u.s. and up to 22 in south korea were creted for

exposure. after the u.s. inadvertently sent live samples there. the centers for disease control is investigating and says there's no threat. and the us department asking china to quit its expansion in the china sea. u.s. officials say they are concerned about china's militarization of some of the islands and are now considering flying surveillance missions closer than it has before over those islands. officials are rushing to seal a deal trying to keep in place a travel ban for the men known as the taliban five. we're talking about the men who had ties to al qaeda and even directly associated with osama bin laden. we'll tell you why no one is happy with surveillance claims for the five prisoners' swap for american bowe bergdahl. i'm a contributing writer to

new neutrogena cooldry sport. sunscreens behind? micromesh technology lets sweat pass through and evaporate so skin stays comfortable, while clinically proven protection stays on. new cooldry sport. neutrogena. bottom of the hour now, thanks for staying with us here on "new day." a law enforcement source tells cnn that former speaker of the house dennis hastert was paying a former male student to keep quiet about allegations of sexual abuse. >> the information comes amid a federal indictment against a former republican congressman cites misconduct and lying to
3:32 am
the fbi. now, hastert used to be a high school history teacher and wrestling coach in illinois from 1965 to 1981. >> a wichita state university student is being called a hero from saving hundreds of people from an isis suicide bomber. 22-year-old about duel jalil arbash was in a mosque in saudi arabia when a bomber tried to get inside. according to some reports, al arbash stopped him but the bomber set y explosive killing him and three other people. the clock is sticking down for the five terrorists, detainees from gann gann bay exchanged for bowe bergdahl. >> at their release, they were sent to qatar and banned for traveling for one year. now that ban is nearly over, the year is up, and it seems as though no one is happy with the current plan. >> global affairs alise abbott has a look what the could be
3:33 am
done at this point. >> reporter: cell, christi, victor, under the agreement, the five guantanamo detainees have been monitored by the qatar government for one year and banned outside of the country now the state department is leading separate negotiations with both the governments of qatar and afghanistan about what happens next. u.s. officials say there are a few options in play. now, the u.s. prefers they had stay in qatar where they will be monitored. they have brought their families there. now total about 70 among them. the other actions could see the five returning to afghanistan either be released or monitored by the afghan government. not the qataris say they will not expand the restrictions on the five, nor will they send them home to afghanistan if they don't want to leave qatar. so none of these are great option. these are five pretty high ranking taliban officials. at least one has tried to communicate with taliban militants since arriving in
3:34 am
qatar. raising questions of whether or not the lives of soldiers in afghanistan would be at risk. republican lawmakers were upset with the deal in the first place. now they're calling on the administration to make sure the five were not set free. >> let's talk about this with general bob maginnes again, general maginnis, thank you so much. we've seen one of the five in the group reach out to his former contacts. we know, how likely, do you believe that they're going to return to their terror network? >> well, christi, i'm sure they want to go home. they've been away from afghanistan for a long time. they've probably been well in communication, usual social media, and they've had add ver assesses i'm sure from the taliban that have been visiting them. yes, they'll go back. now, whether or not they can contribute anything to the fight, more than likely in a strategic way, they can communicate their views about u.s. operations, about how to,
3:35 am
you know, defeat perhaps some of the threats that are coming from other entities such as the pakistanis, which they're concerned about. and, of course in the alliances and leagues that the anti-taliban, in other words, the legitimate government of afghanistan may be promoting here. so i have no doubt, it is, i think, a bad deal in the beginning. they're on the loose now, there's not a lot even the qatar ris i believe can do. >> i know back in last june, there was an interview with secretary of state john kerry and he said this to say about the five and their possible return. listen to this. >> i'm not telling you that they don't have some ability to go back but they also have ability to get killed doing that. and i don't think anybody should is doubt the capacity of united states of america to protect merges. no one. no one should doubt the capacity
3:36 am
united states to protect americans. >> in other words, you think he's saying they go back, and they are fair game? >> well, i think anybody in afghanistan is fair game. you're targeted by the taliban or by the government themselves. we still have a sizable footprint, we, being us. in afghanistan. of course if they go on to lead once again on the battlefield. but most of these guys, christi, are much older. and that's a tough place in which to battle. i don't see these taliban five picking up ak-47s and chasing down americas. that's just not going to happen. they're going to be isn't a strategic place, kandahar or kabul, advising. so they are a threat, but more of a strategic threat than a tactical threat for us. >> great clarification. general bob maginnis
3:37 am
appreciated. lieutenant colonel bob maginnis, we appreciate it. it's a big weekend politically, in a couple of hours, former secretary of state hillary clinton will have another opponent former maryland governor and former baltimore mayor martin o'malley will make his formal announcement but it will come with a bit of criticism. protesters are expected outside of the announcement in baltimore, and they're arguing that the former governor's pretty strategy while he was mayor is partly responsible for the unrest. let's bring in reporter steven colinsson. let's talk specifically, before we get head to head with secretary clinton, how big of a bruise do you expect these protests an this narrative to lead on the governor's campaign? >> victor, i lost you in the beginning there. yes, o'malley is going to announce his campaign this
3:38 am
morning. there'ser is questions being raised about his prospects, given the fact that he was mayor of baltimore for two terms, governor of maryland and responsible for the policing tactics which many people say -- >> all right. so, we tried it with skype. maybe we'll get stephen on the phone. but, we'll, of course, follow this out there the morning, because we're going to match governor o'malley's announcement, live, we're expecting in the 10:00 hour. somebody in the control room, tell me, do we have stephen back? no. okay. we'll get to him later in the morning. let's move to this, this anti-islam rally in phoenix, it got heated when it was met with a love rally. >> do something! do something! >> yeah, we'll take you right into the middle of this divide. also -- >> this is robbing me of my joy.

colorado movie theater? well, the accused mass murderer has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but prosecutors say holmes knew what he was doing. and new video of the 27-year-old speaking with a psychiatrist reveals new insight into his state ofn's ana cabrera has the latest. >> reporter: appearing calm and speaking in a steady monotone voice, the words of accused killer james holmes have a chilling effect. >> do you remember. >> what day was it? >> twul 20th, 2012. >> reporter: it was in the mind of an alleged killer, take turn an examination. >> do you take into consideration the fact when you're talking to him, he knows that he's facing the death penalty? >> yes. >> reporter: ordered by the
3:50 am
court, dr. william reed interviewed holmes nine times for a total of 22 hours. >> did you drink dwight a bit in college? >> no, i wasn't a huge drinker. >> reporter: holmes said it turns dark when he suffers from depression after breaking up were eye his girlfriend just befores before the shooting in 2012. >> did you think about hurting yourself? >> no. >> how about hurting or killing other people? >> yeah, i kind of transferred it to kind of homicide thoughts. >> reporter: dr. reed concluded that holmes knew right from wrongs that are he was sane when he killed 12 and injured 70 others. prosecutors say he planned and detailed his actions in his journal. >> did he discuss having a desire to kill people? >> yes, he does. >> reporter: holmes sengt the notebook to a psychiatrist at the university of colorado before the shooting, and it was discovered too late. in it, holmes writes, the

obsession to kill since i was a kid with age became more and more realistic. he settles on mass murder at the movies. writing maximum casualties easily performed with firearms, being caught, 99% certain. holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. >> insights into the mind of madness. >> reporter: the defense points out the notebook also contains ramblings that don't make any sense. and holmes also writes about his mental illness. so, anyways, that's my mind, it's broken, he writes. whether the jury believes that could determine the fate of a self-described shy but once promising phd student. >> what brings tears to your eyes sometimes? >> just regrets. >> regrets about? >> about the shooting. >> reporter: ana cabrera, cnn,

denver. >> jeff, i want to get your take on what you saw there. jeff in terms of him being, not obviously, testifying in court, but in those videos, i'm sure that you've sat and you've conducted videos like that before. what was your take-away? >> well, my take-away was that this was a person with a broken mind. and something that we should be very clear about, he was already taking anti-psychotic and anti-depressive medications when he was being examined. so we may end up getting a skewed clinical picture of what was going on. that's why there is so much placed on that notebook. that's why we don't know whether he was complying with medication. we could see what was going on just before the shooting and i think that gives us a more accurate picture of whether he knew right from wrong, whether he was insane, psychotic, as the
3:53 am
defense claims at this present time. >> jeff, not only in that notebook do we see him plotting but we just saw there on the screen, there were six pages in this notebook that just said why with question marks? six pages written again and again. what does that say to you? >> well, certainly, this is someone who is very self-analytical. was possessed with the idea of killing people. but it also tells me that this was a person that was struggling with his santy. or his insanity. this wasn't a person just lollygagging about and wasn't aware that he had ha mental illness. he knew he was suffering and he was wrong. in his mind, as he said, he was trying to fix it, but he did, in his mind, it was broken and couldn't be fixed. >> but you can plan and plot, we
3:54 am
understand that he went to the theaterses that are he scouted them out to see which theater would work best for this plan. can you premeditate something like this and be legally insane? >> well, it is a great question. what we're looking at is this very simple idea, legal idea, of knowing the difference between right and wrong. it's very concrete. it's very black and white. but then you try to apply that to something like a schizophrenia, a serious mental illness that in fact is very complex, very fluid, very hard to understand. so, i believe, as a clinical psychologist, that even with schizophrenia, there are times of clarity, where you do know the difference between right from wrong. but you are still insane. so we just can't see it as a simple black and white process. and i think that's the real problem with a lot of these cases, where you're looking at a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.

>> all right, nick, thank you so much. we appreciate it. let's talk about lawmakers and the fact that they are scrambling in washington to make a deal as the clock ticks down. to the agency's massive data collection program. the obama administration, as we know, is warning of a critical gap in national security coverage. not everyone, though, on capitol hill is sharing this view. sumlin serfaty is following this. >> good morning, christi. it's now about 40 hours before sunday's med night deadline and still there's no sign of resolution. the white house has been ratcheting up their language, making a big push, wondering what will happen if congress allows the surveillance program to expire. president obama said it would be irresponsible and reckless for what he says are essential tools that would need to be given up if these provisions expire. he called for the oval office

for the senate to take up and pass the house bill to get this done. >> i don't want us to be in a situation, in which, for a period period of time, those authority goes away, and suddenly, we're dark, and heaven forbid, we've got a problem where we could have prevented a terrorist attack or apprehended someone, who is engaged in dangerous activity, but we didn't do so, simply because of inaction in the senate. >> and the white house believes that the house passed reform bill is what they say is the only viable option going forward. and president obama there without mentioning any by name, called out a few senators for as he described it, standing in the way of this getting done. that was a not so subtle thought at senator rand paul who believes the surveillance programs are unconstitutional and have pledged to try to block this bill on sunday. >> i think it's a fight worth having. i have some detractors who say we shouldn't be having this
4:05 am
fight, but we'll have this fight again. they aren't really happy that i made them work on their vacation weekend last week. and make them come back on sunday and still object to the same passing. i may not win the battle, but at the very least, i want to draw attention. >> senate has been called back early from recess and will start working on this at 4:00 p.m. on sunday on a rare weekend sunday session. a spokesperson said the senate could pass some version of an nsa built but christi, it's unclear what the investigation will be. >> we appreciate it. thank you. dennis hastert, the former speaker of the house, just indicted by a federal grand jury has been accused of paying a student to keep quiet about alleged sexual abuse. that's the reporting, but that's not specifically in this indictment, we should point out. >> yes, sources with details of the indictment, though, did tell cnn that the allegations involved an underage male and that it was something that happened when hastert was a
4:06 am
teacher and wrestling coach back in illinois beginning in 1965. cnn justice correspondent pam brown has the latest for us. good morning, pam. >> reporter: well, victor and christi, first came the shocking allegations from the justice department, that dennis hastert had lied to the fbi about money he way withdrawing for a cover-up and now we're learning alleged sexual misconduct involving an underage student was the reason. >> more than $1 million for the former student to keep allegations hastert had sexually abused him quiet. hastert has not commented publicly, but he abruptly resigned from this washington, d.c. lobbying firm, as well as from a chicago derivatives firm. the indictment does not discuss sexual abuse. instead, it focuses on how the 73-year-old former wrestling coach moved the money he
4:07 am
allegedly was paying to former students. prosecutors saying he agreed to pay an unnamed individual, quote, $3.5 million to cover up his past misconduct. according to court records, the investigation started two years ago, when the fbi started investigating mystery transactions made by last hastert. big withdrawals of more than $350,000. the fbi alleged some of the withdrawals were less than $10,000. when the fbi asked hastert about the pattern of large withdrawals he said he was keeping the money himself. >> they concluded it wasn't something they wanted to pursue with extortion. a friend that we recently spoke to said that he had perceives himself as the one being wronged.
4:08 am
victor and kristi. >> i want to make sure that the l.a. times who first revealed this case has reported there could be a second person alleging buss. the paper's report told cnn, a k top official who is reliable there was allegedly a second victim. this alleged victim was not being paid by hastert. >> let's bring in tom fuentes. tom, i wondered as the indictment came out, there are hints and doorways and pathways without actually saying what the former speaker was attempting to cover up. is that something, when writing these indictments and going into this element of the investigation, that the federal government is careful not to do? >> i don't think so, victor. i think that it just wasn't relevant to the charges being brought. you know, the banks report suspicious transactions in cash.
4:09 am
they're required to report it to the department of treasury financial enforcement network which inclues the fbi, dae, customs and other agencies, because that many transaction gz and that amount of money in cash is suspicious. if it's more than 10,000, they're required to report it if it's less than 10 but numerous, they can report it because it's suspicious. that's what happened, they reported it because of his position as number two to the president of the united states all these years, they looked into it further, and when the fbi questioned him in an official investigation, the purpose of these transactions, he lied to them. and that's the essence of the indictment, lying to the fbi, during an official investigation, when you don't even have to talk to the fbi. he could have just said, you know, i don't want to talk. and that would have been the end of it. but if you talk to the fbi, bearing an official investigation, it has to be the truth. that's what tripped him up in
4:10 am
this case. apparently, is that the excuse or the reason that he gave for these many transactions total itting almost $1 million in cash turned out to not be true when they investigated what he did with the pony. >> so let's explore this middle ground here, between not talking to these fbi agents and according to the indictment, lying about what he was doing with the money and why he was taking it out. if the former speaker had said that, you know, taking this indictment and saying that these allegations are true, although he still has his day in court, if he chooses to go that far. that he was paying someone to hide these allegations of sexual abuse. if he'd said that to the fbi, what then? >> if he had told the fbi the truth, this probably wouldn't get this far. and if he had written checks to the person he was paying, they basically had, apparently a personal contractual agreement
4:11 am
for $3.5 million total in payments. he was about a third of the way through in payments. had he written a check, it wouldn't have been attracted the attention of the bank whatsoever and it probably would never have been an investigation. again, if he told the fbi the truth and they contact the other person saying, yeah, he's giving me the money, that might have been the end of it as well. but the violation that triggers everything here is that when he tells a lie, or series of lies, to the fbi, as to the nature of the transactions, that he wasn't keeping the money at home because he didn't trust banks anymore, that he was paying the money to somebody else. >> yeah, i'm pretty sure, though, tom, if dennis hastert had gone on the record saying he was paying someone to keep secret allegations of sexual abuse it would have come out at some point, but there wouldn't be, you know, a federal indictment related to lie to get fbi. >> correct. >> tom fuentes, thank you so
4:12 am
much for helping us understand it. >> you're welcome, victor. developing this morning -- egypt has now released a u.s. citizen who had been jailed since 2013. apparently for his support of ousted president mohamed morsi. muhammad soletan, a dual citizen had been on a hunger strike for 14 months. ian lee joins us on the phone. he was sentenced to life in prison but now released. what prompted the release? >> well, talking to his family, once he was sentenced to life in prison, christi, that the u.s. government and the egyptian government started negotiations to secure his release. according to an egyptian law, once a person is found guilty of the crime, they can be deported by the president to another country, the home country and serve out the remainder of their
4:13 am
sentence there. we saw that in the al jazeera trial when the journalist was returned to australia. according to the family, the same situation happened taupe. he has been been undergoing a hunger strike for many months. in talking to family, they don't know the current state of had his health. they say that once he lands to evaluate his condition, and if he needs medical treatment, they will provide it as soon as possible. the united states embassy here in cairo saying they're extremely happy that happened and announced he is on his way. and the family also very relieved that he's finally been released from egyptian prison. >> you say he's on his way, where? to the u.s.? and how soon might that happen? >> well, he's on his way, currently. we haven't heard the exact time for landing. he's going to land in washington, d.c. his family says they're going to be waiting for him.
4:14 am
no family members were able to travel with him. this all happened fairly quickly. but the family very much happy. obviously, they've been fighting for this for quite a time. and in talking to them after the life sentence was handed down, they had really almost given up hope because of the judiciary here in egypt. >> all right. ian lee. thank you so much. for keeping us apprised of what's happening there. all right. let's talk now about the record flooding in texas. it's not over yet. we've seen it all. raging waters. you see the property damage. cars damaged. deaths. well, how much more can this already ravaged state take? well, more is on the way. baltimore's former mayor, maryland's former governor, martin o'malley expected to announce his candidacy for the presidency. ever find out one local group

people that we expect ourselves to be. and that our grandparents expected us to be. and that our kids need for us to be. >> n.j. lee is a reporter for cnn politics. chris is a columnist for cnnpot t -- cnnpolitics.com. what are we expecting at this rally today? >> good morning, guys. we are expecting this rally to start sometime around 10:00. o'malley will lay out his vision for his presidential campaign. we are told that he will not necessarily develop into policy specifics, but this will be an opportunity for him to introduce himself into voters, and talk about his record in maryland. you mentioned the protesters that are expected to appear here today, i spent some time yesterday, walking around baltimore and talking to the residents here.
4:35 am
and i can tell you that the anger here is very real. while there are plenty of residents who do feel that o'malley was a good mayor and good governor. there are also plenty of people who do have real problems with the policing tactics that he promoted as mayor and governor. and so when the protesters come here today at the rally, it could serve as a distraction, but we are hearing that protesters expecting to keep things peaceful and hopefully it won't turn to anything violent. >> chris, let's go to the aesthetics of the day with respect to protests will these stick as a narrative for the former governor and former mayer? >> the recent developments in baltimore do certainly provide a backdrop, i guess we could call it. before the presidential candidacy being launched today, he could have tauted baltimore
4:36 am
as a success story. the crime dropped precipitously during his mayorship. but at the same time, he was instituting the zero tolerance police practices that brewed anger slowly, that simmered, that really came out this year. and i think that that is going to be a part of his campaign that he's going to have to answer for during his time. that's actually the case for a lot of candidates, both republicans and democrats who have supported tough-on crime initiatives out there the '90s and early 2000s, including hillary clinton. i think we'll see a lot of candidates talk acronym justice reform in changes that from hillary clinton, to rand paul to chris christie and martin o'malley, you're going to hear a lot about political involving on their ideas on this issue. >> you know what we learn every cycle, that these candidates are not running against an ideal. they're running against other candidates with their own baggage. if martin o'malley wants to win
4:37 am
this nomination, m.j., he's got a lot of crownaut ot of ground against former secretary of state clinton. do we expect him to come out kicking? >> absolutely. interestingly, you mentioned the other candidates in the race. vermont senator bernie sanders is actually also going to be in iowa today. this san interesting situation where both candidates, o'malley and sanders are trying to prevent themselves as progress tiff alternatives to hillary clinton. you know, get the voters who are less inclined to support hillary clinton. and is looking for someone with a more populous message and rhetoric. so whether or not martin o'malley, whether there's oxygen, quite frankly in the race for o'malley to really get the momentum he needs to even get ahead of bernie sanders, we'll have to wait and see. >> let me ask you, chris, there's a good conversation and
4:38 am
good piece in politico this week about bernie sanders being the better challenger to hillary clinton because he has supported all the elizabeth run elizabeth. elizabeth warren on the more progressive end of the democratic party. do you believe that? >> you know, i lot of people run for president for different reasons. some people run to win. some run to push issues. and bernie sanders is one of those who could compare him to rand paul back in 2012. those people will get a lot of support. a lot of grassroots support. they draw big crowds but they're not going to be necessarily form midable when formidable when it comes to winning elections. o'malley has a record when he was governor. if he can get his name out, i think had he could be more of a formidable challenger. but the real world is, hillary
4:39 am
clinton is here and she's sucking all the oxygen out of the room and it's going to be difficult to gain a leading edge. >> m.j. and chris moody, thank you both. the fbi said it just cannot keep an eye on the hundreds of suspected isis supporters in the u.s. we're going to tell you who they're asking for help. and the next hour, the duggar family candle. you can't find a show on tlc right now, the network has not officially cancelled it. but we're going to hear insights to someone who has been inside the duggar home talking to them and their kids. we're back in a moment. the rates of sexually transmitted diseases are going up in some states experts think they know why it's called tinder or craig list or grinder. social media are helping people

4:44 am
fast in the foyer [pronounced foy-yer] or is it foyer [pronounced foy-yay]? fast in the hallway. i feel like i've been here before. switch now and get the fastest wifi everywhere. comcast business. built for business. the fbi says it cannot keep an eye on the hundreds of suspected isis supporters in the u.s. and are now asking local police departments for help. this changes part of the fall jot from the terrorist attack in garland, texas, earlier this morning, the fbi says one of the attacker, alton simpson was already under investigation but managed to elude surveillance to attempt this foiled attack. we got harry hauck who joins us now.
4:45 am
good morning. i wonder if you can fill the picture out when they say they need the help of local law enforcement are they asking them to watch facebook pages, to surveil? what are we expecting? >> it's probably all of that. it's a bit a red flag to me. there's roughly 30,000 agents at the fbi the last time i checked. that's approximately the size of the new york city police department. so they don't have the manpower to watch were every single possible terrorist in this country. each state does have their own task forces that virtually work with the fbi. and that's comprised of local law enforcement also. but apparently, that's not enough. so it appears to me that they're going to have -- it takes probably about six people to watch somebody 24 hours a day. that's just following somebody. all right? so if you have hundreds and hundreds of potential suspects, then that's thousands and thousands of police officers and detectiving having to follow these people around. >> that lead s me to the next
4:46 am
question, it's not like the coffers are filled with unlimited resources. can they handle that job? >> exactly. they're going to have to find the money because the threat of isis attacking us here in this country seems to be pretty high if the fbi is looking for help. so going to have to, you know, put more manpower into these fusion centers, more manpower into the joint task force to be able to follow these people around. most of the time, they're not following these people around, unless they have maybe a planned attack. they're most likely following them on facebook. maybe there are wiretaps going on that still takes a lot of manpower to be able to do that. >> let's list ton what fbi director james comey talked about with the ability to track potential terrorists. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> there's an incredibly difficult task that we're enlisting all of our federal and state partners in that we're working on every single day. but i can't stand here with
4:47 am
confidence when i confront the world that's increasingly dark and tell you that i've got it covered. >> honest, but not reassuring at all. >> no, it's not. to be honest, with the homeland threat we have here, a lot of these are homegrown groups or single jihadists here. so if they're not having any kind of information back and forth from other terrorist groups, we're not picking this information up. we're not picking up that intelligence. so if two guys alone want to conduct an attack and they don't tell anybody about it, that's no way we'll find out about it. >> is there additional training that comes with this request? >> of course, there's got to be additional homeland security training available to police officers it's free. and police officers i know to go to it all the time. each state also works strongly with the fbi in putting programs together to train police officers. >> harry houck, thanks for filling out the picture for us. >> no problem. well, did she put her baby
4:48 am
girl up for adoption nearly 50 years ago? or is it a ploy to cover up a massive human trafficking ring. newly uncovered birth records could offer new details in a scandal in a st. louis hospital. we're going to try to uncover what's fact and what's fiction for you. stay close. ii accept i'm not the sprinter i was back in college. i even accept that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't accept giving it less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin, ...i will. eliquis. eliquis... reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both.
4:49 am
that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept that i'm not as fast, but i'm still going for my personal best... and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke... plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor... if eliquis is right for you. let'at your credit. >>i know i have a 786 fico score, thanks to all the tools and help on experian.com. so how are we going to sweeten this deal? floor mats... clear coats... >>you're getting warmer... leather seats...
4:50 am
>>and this... my wife bought me that. get your credit swagger on. become a member of experian credit tracker and find out your fico score powered by experian. fico scores are used in 90% of credit decisions. but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas
4:51 am
where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. 51 minutes past the hour and a newly obtained document may show that a woman who says her
4:52 am
baby was stolen from a st. louis hospital actually gave up her child for adoption. we have been following this story for weeks now, as you know. that mom zella jackson price and her baby, diane, they were reunited eyears, 40 yearses at least after she gave birth. zella says she contends somebody stole her baby and told her that her baby had died. more than two dozen women have made the same kind of allegations about their newborns saying they were stolen and now a decade's old document appears to show the lost time between the two is the mom's own fault. adoption records say she gave up her daughter just five months after giving birth and she did tell a different hospital which raises all kinds of questions what really happens. al watkins is joining us. al, thank you, again, for being with us. first of all, do you believe
4:53 am
these records are authentic? >> no. the records are not authentic. any time you have a criminal or nuferrious act like this involving a baby there has to be appropriate documentation that is consistent with the story other than the real one. this comes as no surprise and is totally inconsistent with the facts as we know them. >> let's talk about this. the hospital, as i understand it, accuses her of walking across town to the all-white city hospital. remember, this was in the '60s and she did that to deliver the baby there and then they say she walked all the way back to homer g. philips hospital to give the baby up for adoption. let's listen to what zella says about that, first of all. >> this is robbing me of my joy. it's robbing me of my joy. you have robbed me. you are trying to kill my character. you're trying to lie and say i was at one hospital.
4:54 am
i've never been to city hospital in my life. i can't even tell you right now where it was. i think it's lies on top of lies. >> okay. let me ask you, al, how clausable is tclause ab clausable is the hospital story eand not some clauberation in their records if she had gone there to have the baby? >> one is there is absolutely no clausable or credible that substantiate what these records show. this is a sealed adoption file that is open after decades. she had two babies at homer g. philips hospital before baby tidiane was born. she lost a third baby before baby diane was born. she lived in the shadow of the hospital. when she delivered baby diane her then sister-in-law, worked in the maternity ward.
4:55 am
she is alive today. she was present at the time she was delivering baby diane and she corroborates that assertion. not only that she walked across the city, did not happen. you got fput on a gurney and rolled north to homer g. phillips hospital. >> do you believe this was a conspiracy of several people at the hospital? >> yeah. there is no way that what was done could have been done without a very coordinated set of steps and undertakings by more than one person in a position of authority. not just with the hospital. but with the city. >> so, where do you go from here? we only have 30 seconds. what do you do now with these records that are going to come out? >> we need to get a hold of the records from city hospital,
4:56 am
number one. if my client had her baby there. there has to be a lot of records. we want them. the city is in possession of them. they have not produced them. they have all the forms necessary. we want the police reports. my client abandoned this baby, why wasn't she arrested? high-profile, easy to find and they had her address. >> we'll see what happens. attorney al watkins, thank you so much. thank you for appriseapprise pd. the next hour of "new day" begins after this quick break. stay close.

5:01 am
good morning, it is always good to be with you. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm christi paul. we want to start with the taliban five because they could be free to return to the battlefield literally in just days at this point. today efforts are under way to stop that, though. we are talking about terrorists with ties to al qaeda. one man even directly associated with osama bin laden. these former detainees at guantanamo bay were eexchanged for the bowe bergdahl and their travel restrictions end monday. >> officials from both the u.s. and qatar where the five men were sent after their reelise are meeting today to prevent that from happening. >> global affairs correspondent eelise has been working this story. good morning, what can you tell us? >> christi, victor, under the agreement the five taliban detainees have been monitored for one year and banned from traveling outside the country.
5:02 am
now, the state department is leading separate negotiations with both the governments of cutter acu qatar and afghanistan about what happens next a few options in play. they prefer they stay in qatar where they will be monitored. the five have brought their families there and now total aamounts 70 among them. the other options could see the five returning to afghanistan and either be released or monitored by the afghan government. now, they say they will not expand the restrictions on the five, nor will they send them home to afghanistan, if they don't want to leave qatar. so, none of these are great options. these are five pretty high-ranking taliban officials. at least one has tried to communicate with militants back home since arriving in qatar raising questions whether the lives of afghans and u.s. soldiers in afghanistan would be at risk. republican lawmakers were upset with a deal in the first place and now calling on the administration to make sure the five are not set free.
5:03 am
christi, victor. >> all righty, elise, thank you so much. i want to talk to general mark hurtling about this. want to ask you right out of the gate, of course, how big a threat do you think these men are to the u.s. if they return to their terror network? >> no way to sugar coat this, christi. four of the five are very significant taliban figures. it was difficult to see them released, but, truthfully, there was not a lot of evidence against them. so, it's difficult to hold them. that's the quandary ethat the administration sees itself in with the guwatt mow prisoners. >> if they go back to the terror networks, are not not seen in some sort, characterized in some historic status because they are suffering for their cause, so to speak? >> unfortunately, that's a part of it. it also comes at a time when the
5:04 am
afghan government is becoming stabilized and it's becoming a better place, but there's still pockets of the insurgency throughout the country. so, yes, they will become heroes to their followers. they will be challenged, if they do go back to afghanistan to the afghan government and it's certainly a political factor here in the united states, as well, as the white house continues to, the state department primarily continues to engage with the government. >> so, the u.s. wants stronger restrictions in place for this. we know. where do you see might some of the bigger gaps be that we need to have some modifications? >> well, it boils down, truthfully to the legal issues at guantanamo. you can't continue to keep people when you don't have evidence against them as these insurgencies die out. but they are still dangerous. this is part of the asymmetric of part of the kinds of war that we're in right now where these aren't uniformed figures and at
5:05 am
the end of the war you trade a soldier back to their government for whatever reason. that's the challenge that we're sitting between. these are full fledge, life-long fighters for a cause. they are not soldiers in an organization and that's what makes the rules so edifficult. so these are going to be continued challenges as we get rid mfof the remaining prisoner in a guantanamo camp. >> on an interview on cnn last year secretary of state john kerry said the u.s. could kill these men if they returned to terrorist activities. retired general bob mcginnis said these men are older and wouldn't necessarily be in combat ready positions. they would be instrategic positions. any way to monitor them at this point or are they free to go? >> there really isn't. what ewhat we are talking about if they leave qatar and go to
5:06 am
afghanistan, the afghan government would monitor them. but the technology isn't that available in afghanistan. and i'm not sure i agree with the fact that these at least four of the five might not continue to contribute to the fighting because before they were higher level officials. they weren't involved in the direct fighting. they weren't involved in combat actions, but they were guiding that combat action. this is a very difficult call, christi. >> eretired general mark hurtling, appreciate your insight. >> thank you. to a developing story this morning, we're learning more about wichita state university student killed in saudi arabia. 22 years old. this student died when a suicide bomber decided to blow up a packed mosque. this was the scene yesterday. four people were killed in that bombing. nick valencia is following this story efor us. nick, what do we know this
5:07 am
student was doing there? >> according to his family. the student volunteer eed as a security guard there. he was visiting saudi arabia to get married while he was there. he volunteered as a security force. according to reports, suicide bomber showed up at that mosque dressed as a woman and that grew some suspicions because women curasked to stay home because of this security threat. it raised threats that he chased this attacker off and that's when the attacker detonated a suicide bomb killing himself and three other worshippers. his family spoke about his character calling him a very good man saying he always had a smile on his face. his university also released a statement. i want to read part of that. it said the wichita state university community is saddened by the tragic death of one of our students. our condolences go out to his family and friends in this time of loss. the state-run agency in saudi
5:08 am
arabia has not official ey named him as the person who stopped the attack, but his family and friends are calling him a hero. victor? >> so, this, nick, is the second attack claimed by isis in saudi arabia in just a couple of weeks. >> that's right. the second attack on a shiite mosque. what's interesting is saudi arabia is a majority sunni nation and these attacks have become a little more frequent according to the shia community. now, isis sympathizers and supporters have posted claims of responsibility by isis saying they are taking responsibility for this attack that killed a handful of worshippers. >> nick, thank you so much. >> you bet. take a look at what's happening in arizona. the muslim community. >> we have called this press conference so we can state the obvious. we, here in 2015 in america are reminding americans that bigotry
5:09 am
is a bad thing. >> okay, those are, those are some people in the community of arizona speaking out and condemning an anti-islam rally outside a mosque in phoenix. take a look at this here, too. video from the protests. you see it there. shows on one side there's the supporters of the contest. organizers say they're fighting for the first amendment. freedom of speech. you look at the other side of that obvious divide there and you've got the group that says it's fighting for the first amendment, as well. the freedom of religion. some 500 people reportedly attended the rally and it did end without any major innocence, fortunately. martin o'malley is about to make it official. in just two hours or so he is expected to formally announce he is running for president. a live report on what is behind planned protests against his aannouncement and his candidacy.

5:14 am
he certainly has a big job ahead of him in terms of introducing himself to democratic voters. a former mayor of baltimore, as you said. a former two-term governor of maryland. well-known among party activists. going to swing through early voting states, iowa, new hampshire going to present himself as a new alternative to hillary clinton. let's take a listen. >> the man strumming hail to the chief is martin o'malley and he wants to be president. he is a musician and former maryland governor, ready to go head-to-head with hillary clinton. >> right now our country is going to fight the very future of the american dream and i am drawn to that fight. >> reporter: on a recent visit to new hampshire he acknowledged he is hardly a new hampshire name. >> start this race having to introduce yourself to a lot of people? >> just as, you know, i start
5:15 am
this race as a new face to a lot of people and somebody totally unknown to most. and is the same way when i started when i ran for state senate or mayor. >> reporter: his time as mayor of baltimore is now in the spotlight, given the violence and potests in the city. he talked about it with cnn's jake tapper. >> do you shoulder the blame at all? >> i was responsible when i decided to run for mayor in 199199 and i told people across the city vote for me and we will not only improve the policing of our streets, we'll improve the policing of our police. >> reporter: his record will be seen in a new light to knock off the democratic frontrunner. >> history is full of examples where the inevitable frontrunner was inevitable until he or she was no longer inevitable. >> the presidency of the united states is not some crown to be passed between two families. >> reporter: it's a different tune from eight years ago when he was one of her biggest fans.
5:16 am
>> it is with great pride and enthusiasm that i endorse my friend, senator hillary rodham clinton to be the next president of the united states. >> i could not be prouder than to have this endorsement. >> reporter: those old bonds now broken as he seeks to stop her presidential bid. now, in this campaign we will see a new side-by-side picture of o'malley and clinton when they appear on a debate state later this year. he has a super pac called generation forward. another implicit reminder that he is presenting himself as a candidate of the future while secretary clinton may be a candidate of the past. victor? >> there may be crowds there that want the nation to pay attention to his past in baltimore. these protests are planned. tell us more about what we've learned about them?
5:17 am
>> that's right, victor. we're told there will be protests around when this speech begins around 10:00. we're in downtown baltimore. governor o'malley has been presenting himself the record as the mayor of baltimore as one of his attributes and he will have to deal with some of the questions what happened during his time as mayor. were his policing strategies the right one? we'll see if his announcement is interrupted by protesters. i'll tell you, victor, a decent amount of security here in downtown baltimore. they're prepared for any protest. >> jeff zeleny in baltimore waiting the formal announcement from mr. o'malley. we'll have his announcement live here during the 10:00 a.m. hour. time is running out for alawmakers to make a deal on the nsa. if they don't make a deal this weekend, a terrorist could slip

5:23 am
this explanation. >> christi, we are edging towards the explanation. it is now about 40 hours before thad midnight deadline tomorrow and really no sign of a resolution yet. the white house has been ratcheting up their warnings calling it irresponsible and reckless if congress allows the surveillance programs to expire. they have been characterizing them as essential tools needed to track terrorists. officials say the only viable option to avoid lapses for the senate to take up and pass the house bill when they come in for that rare session tomorrow. now, the house passed compromise measure, that would extend the expiring laws but changes that controversial phones records program putting it in the hands of phone companies, not the government. he called for the senate to get this done. >> law enforcement in national security teams and civil liberty proponents and advocates who say this is the right way to go.
5:24 am
the only thing that is standing in the way is a handful of senators who are resisting these reforms. despite law enforcement and the ic saying, let's go ahead and get this done. >> the ic a reference to the intelligence community. that was also not so subtle shot at republican senator rand paul, who has pledged to try again to block this bill from moving forward on sunday. the full extension of the patriot act, as well as the house compromise bill unless significant changes are made to weaken the government surveillance powers. christi, at this time, the way forward. it's not clear and intelligence agencies are already making contingency plans preparing for this deadline to be missed. >> appreciate it, thank you. well, as tlc struggles with what to do with their hit show "19 kids & counting." we'll talk to their media correspondent about their options. also, you'll hear from a survivor who was abused as a

5:29 am
drench that already oversaturated land there. severe weather has killed at least 22 people just this week in the state with authorities expecting futleties to rise and late yesterday president obama did order federal aid to be delivered to the lone star state. a live report for ayou you on t situation in texas. another democratic presidential contender will enter into the 2016 race for the white house. martin o'malley expected to make an announcement in the heart of the center where he served as mayor. we'll bring you that announcement live at 10:00 a.m. on cnn. former speaker of the house dennis hastert one of the most powerful people in washington was making payments to keep quiet alleged sexual abuse of a minor. that minor law enforcement officials tell cnn was a former student of hastert's. he was a high school teacher and
5:30 am
wrestling coach in illinois for 16 years starting back in 1965. now, the news come amid this federal indictment filed thursday against 73-year-old hastert. federal prosecutors say hastert lied to the fbi, started bank laws to cover up, "misconduct" with hush money. adding to the mix, the "l.a. times" reports a second person who is making similar allegations. let's bring in criminal defense attorney joey jackson. joey, good to have you. i want to start here. the reporting is from cnn and other outlets that this was to cover up abuse. will there be any interest to investigate that alleged sexual abuse so many decades later? >> good morning, victor. you know, will there be an interest in it? certainly there will. as much as people want to know specifically what the nature of the conduct was, when it occurred, how it occurred, why it occurred and so there would be certainly an interest in it.
5:31 am
as to whether there will be a viable prosecution stemming from it, i think the answer is resoundingly no. that really, victor, is predicated upon statute of limitation issues. that is a certain time frame in which you have to prosecute sexual abuse crimes involving minors. the statute was changed in illinois in 2005 to make it three years from the 18th birthday in many instances. nonetheless, there are other exceptions that would even prolong it and make it longer. but i think even if you look at the statutory exceptions, i think you're pretty much out of the box and there will be no prosecution on that ground. >> so, does the sexual allegation and sexual abuse allegation play any role in this federal investigation out of this indictment? >> i think it plays a role in as much as it answers the question of why he was paying money. what was that predicated upon? of course, when the government began to investigate, they were suspicious because he was withdrawing money at $50,000
5:32 am
intervals at the time and then bank officials initially approached him in 2002 after he was doing this for two years and said, hey, what is going on here? apparently the speaker became attune to the notion, hey, we have to report any transaction as a bank that is over $10,000. when he started taking it out, that is the former speaker in less than $10,000 increments. that's where you run afoul of the law because the allegation is that he was doing it to aavoid any type of reporting requirements. certainly, it provides a sense of understanding as to why he was doing it to provide it as hush money. but beyond that, in terms of the prior allegations of sexual misconduct, that's why, you know, it's really not in the complaint itself. if you look at inditement, it does not reference the specific allegations, but just speaks to past allegations of misconduct. >> i think it was 2010 at which point they had this discussion of misconduct and met with individual "a" who was a recipient of a lot of this
5:33 am
money. let's go to 2002. let's go to the time that he was speaker. if any of these allegations overlap with his time as speaker of the house, what then? >> i think certainly there will be an interest in determining what he did and when he did it. however, it doesn't appear based upon the indictment that i'm reading, victor, that anything is included in that indictment regarding any allegation of misconduct while he was speaker. it appears to be that the meetings, as you reference in 2010 began with individual "a," who is a person he apparently knew from the complaint. that is the indictment for the majority of his life and it seems as though it's based upon misconduct that he engaged in back in the day when he was a wrestling coach at this school. it does not appear to have anything to do while he was speaker. but i'm certain the federal government will have an interest in that. apparently to date, they have not had an interest in going forward with any extortion allegation or charges as to the
5:34 am
person who actually he was paying the money. but that may be subject to change, as well. >> all right, defense attorney and hln legal analyst, joey jackson. always good to have you. >> and you. have a grate day, victor. >> you, too. we didn't know this was a flood zone. now my car is all drowned. the stories are just so sad in texas with this flash flooding. it swept away homes, cars, anything in its way in a matter of minutes. we're going to go live to houston for an update for you. also, an nfl player cut from his team this morning after being charged with killing his ex-girlfriend's dog.

5:39 am
you have the river just next to me and it has spilled over to some of these residential streets. several subdivisions where the only way you can get around is by boat. i should tell you that the homes in this area, they're elevated. they're on stilts. they're not going to flood. that doesn't apply to some of the other communities in texas that are currently under a flash flood watch. you have the town of morton southwest of houston. 30 homes under a mandatory evacuation orders. so, the question is what is going to happen later this afternoon. the forecast does call for rain. if you get one or two inches, perhaps they can handle it. if they get much more than that, then we may see a whole other round of flooding. victor, christi? >> for more information on how you can help the victims of that severe flooding and the storm damage in texas, head to cnn.com/impact. well, a young woman who was abused as a child now has a law named after her. erin's law.

. struggling still with what to do about the show "19 kids & counting." it pulled episodes of the show after it was reveals that the eldest son, josh duggar, molested several girls, including his sisters, when he was a teenagers. even after advertisers dropped out, tlc is still silent about the show's fate. brian is joining us now. we've seen several shows whether it's sexual abuse or racially insensitive comment. these networks move quickly and may change their opinion or decision later, but why haven't we heard something definitive from tlc? >> this is a very difficult situation for tlc. for some reasons that we haven't thought about. for one thing, the show is not currently in production which means no camera crews following the duggars right now.
5:45 am
the network doesn't have to make a decision right aaway. because it's not in production, they don't have anything to cancel. they will probably decide at one point decide not to resume production. i'm told by sources close to the show that that will probably happen. the show is over, but tlc doesn't want to say show publicly. they won't want to make the announcement or the decision because it is going to create waves and further controversy. for all the people they will please by canceling the show, they're going to disaappoint other people. they're going to disappoint fans of the duggars that want to see the family supported during the crisis. >> let's talk about hulu the streaming video service that dropped all the episodes of "19 kids & counting." you spoke with an executive there, which side initiated that? >> hulu's ceo said they were in
5:46 am
talking and that's why they took it off line. when a show becomes controversial, you can take it off your schedule and you also have to take it off the internet. they said it was only for the time being and, again, leaving the door open to the show coming back at some time. what happens in these cases the shows or the brands become political fights and they become red and blue issues. you have a lot of blue sort of commentators. a lot of progressers or a lot of progressi progressive-minded websites saying why hasn't the show been canceled yet? you have red type commentators and evangelicals that have loved this family for years and has supported this family for years that don't want to see them further penalized by taking the show off the year for a long time. as you know, it's off the air right now and advertisers don't want to be associated with it. but to aabandoned the duggars entirely could turn off core supporters that tend to live in red state and tend to live in the heartland. there is the tension that tlc has to grapple with.
5:47 am
business ramifications and also the cultural ramifications. >> with all this going on, i understand that there is potentially a spinoff that is being considered? >> that is exactly where this all wind up getting us to. you think about all the issues they face. you think about the pros and cons of canceling or keeping the show. and the most logical outcome is probably a spinoff. the most logical outcome might be just to have the kids featured. do a spinoff of "19 kids & counting" with a few of the kids as they start their own families and that's a way to distance the show from josh duggar and the parents while creating the relationship with the duggar family while keeping a popular show on the air and keeping tlc in business with the show. one point executives made with me. tlc has had a relationship with the duggars for years and don't want to penalize them further in this situation. for the time being and not making any decisions they are
5:48 am
aallowia allowing themselves the time to announce it in the future. >> thanks. our next guest is a survivor of abuse and staunch advocate to prevent it. erin marin wrote the book "an unimaginable act." she knows the duggars. she was invited into their home to talk about it. so, erin, thank you so much for being with us. help us understand when you were brought in to talk to the duggars about abuse, what was that experience like for you and how did you feel when you heard about these allegations? >> it was a very positive experience. they had heard me speak at a conference and asked me that night will you come inour homes and talk about erin's law to speak up and tell if you've been abused. i sat there for two hours
5:49 am
talking to their kids about this. and their hope was to help me bring my message into home schooling families. my law requires public schools pre-k to 12th grade about personal body safety. they were talking about ideas on how to bring this to national conferences on home schooling and it was a positive experience. so, when i heard about this, i was shocked, but at the same time, you know, 93% of the time children are abused by someone they know and trust. no, it isn't stranger danger that we talk about so much about in society. the reality is, we need to talk to kids that we know and trust that can hurt you and that you don't keep this secret if it's ever happened to you. >> what is the one thing you think we can teach our kids to help them, empower them to speak up. what is the one thing they need to know. >> kids need to know the difference between safe touch and safe secrets on safe
5:50 am
secrets. the areas covered by your swimsuit if anybody ever touches you there, anybody, that you report it to an aadult and keep speaking up, this is not your fault. th you are not to blame and you will be believed. >> one thing that is perplexing about the situation with the duggars every parent who was fans of them think what do you do as a family when you have one child or more than one child who is a victim and yet your other child is the accused is the abuser? we love all of our children. how do you deal with that? >> i tell people right now that try to put yourself as a parent in their shoes. what if this was your son or daughter that had done this to a sibling? it wouldn't be easy at all. you love all your children. in this situation i tell any parent if this happens, go to the authorities. get your child help. the one and most important thing
5:51 am
is to get them help and, honestly, remove them from the home. if this happened to my kids, i love my kids but i would not allow that family member back into the home. it just would not be safe. >> you wrote a great article that you won't let your daughter go on sleepovers. that was a good point. erin, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate your voice in this. >> thank you, thank you for having me. >> of course. >> victor? >> thanks, christi. another animal controversy for an n if, l team. a player is cut from his team after being charged with killing his ex-girlfriend's dog. ten years after teenager nattily holloway disappeared in aruba, could a new lead help to solve this mystery?
