shoe imprints and food wrappers that the pair may have been in the area. this as new information is emerging about the prison employee at the center of the escape investigation. our coverage begins with >> good morning to yo john. the section of 374 you saw shut down yesterday, still shut down. local school district not having classes tot. a bit of new information about the search for the two inmates. bloodhounds picked up the scent of them a mile from the prison. the maple hills gas station. they were likely looking for food or supplies may have gone into the trash looking for food. they are going to check out the security cameras to see if they can provide information there. the dogs traced the scent to the area we are now located three miles east of the prison where they found the spot where the two men may have been hiding out, found used wrappers the

food wrappers and a fresh footprint and a boot as well. searchers are going to be working a perimeter in the area looking for the two men. dogs are still on the scent, which is a good lead good information for investigators. joyce mitchell you have heard so much about her, that prison employee brought in for questioning this past weekend. she is still cooperating with investigators, still providing good information for them as well helping with the search. for now, these two dangerous and desperate men on the loose. >> john. >> they will remain in the area. as jason was mentioning joyce mitchell who may have helped the convicts escape there's new information this morning about her. turns out, they were focused on her because of a past complaint with a relationship between her and a fugitive.

will prosecutors press charges against her? alexandria field is live outside the prison. good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, john. they could press charges against her, felony charges, in fact. one law enforcement source said joyce's cell phone was used to contact some of richard matt's associated. she planned to drive the get away car and changed her mind at the last minute. she has been cooperating and has not obtained an attorney at this point. >> we have been speaking with her since sunday. she continues to come into the station and meet with our investigators and provide very viable information for us that's assisted us in the investigation. >> reporter: we know that investigators initially zeroed in on joyce mitchell because of

reports of a previous relationship she may have had with one of the escapees. there was investigation into that. as a result of the investigation, david sweat was actually removed from the tailor shop. authorities also said that joyce mitchell said he made her feel special, but didn't use the word love to describe the relationship there. we need to point out, her family has come to her defense. they believe 95% of the allegations are simply speculation and not, in fact true. >> so much to explore this morning. thanks for all that background. here to discuss is matthew, a former atf agent and security officer for fjc security service. great to have you here. >> great to be here. >> as they say, the bloodhounds are hot on the trail, but they are this morning. can you explain what that means? is this a new scent they have

picked up on in the last 28 to 48 hours or the old scent from friday night when they escaped? >> it could be old. if they are picking it up the suspects went through that area. there's a 100% certainty on that. >> there's other clues as well. they have found a boot print, a bed of leaves where they may have slept for the night and food wrappers. what does that tell you? >> it tells us several things. the plan about them being picked up and taken somewhere fell through. we know that now through the key witness in the case. they need to eat, drink and sleep. law enforcement knows they don't have sustainable resources and they are focusing on the area where they find the most evidence. >> where do they get the food? >> hard to say. >> did they steel frit a gas station? >> they could be taking food out of garbage cans. they could have taken it from a

cottage. the greatest fear we have from law enforcement is they are near someone's home and forced someone to help them get food and sustainable goods. >> they may have already done that. police would know if a family is not showing up for work. >> maybe not. if there are certain people out there who may not have contact with relatives or friends for days at a time. they have done this and are going to force someone else to do things for them. they have to eat, drink, need clothes and shelter. >> they were around a gas station a mile away from the prison. wouldn't there be surveillance video of them somewhere? >> there should be. i'm sure investigators are watching the footage to determine, if in fact it was them. >> you had an interesting insight. they have been in prison so long if someone gave them an iphone, they wouldn't know how to use it. what about the disposable phones?

can police track calls if they picked one up somewhere? >> several elements to the escape. the first was the escape. the second was transportation. if they didn't meet anyone to take them anywhere more than likely they don't have the resources. >> there's new information about the woman who theoretically may have helped them. she had been under scrutiny from the prison with an inappropriate contact with the suspect. why would the prison let her continue working there? do they turn a blind eye to relationships like this? >> there were several things that had to happen that just weren't right. this is one of them. it was reported there was an inappropriate relationship. who knows what happened or what authorities did to look into that. while we are searching for the suspects now is the time to look and determine what caused the security gaps and what

caused this breach of security that led to their escape? >> sometimes they do have inappropriate relationships with prison officials and it's overlooked to kind of keep the peace? >> throughout history, almost every escape occurred result of an inside relationship. it's happened in the past it's happened this time. hopefully, we have learned our lesson. >> we have heard there are 500 law enforcement officials searching that five square mile radius. does that mean there are there or could be far, far away? >> they could be. if that's where they are, that's where the evidence is leaning. this case draws a stark comparison to the case in pennsylvania. you have the rugged mountains of the poconos there and the adirondacks here.

if that's where investigators are, that's where they are focusing because that's what's giving us the evidence. >> they wouldn't put that many resources in an area if they didn't think they had a chance. >> they are there for the long haul and going to stay until we catch them. >> thank you. >> thank you, have a great day. >> if you have information about the where abouts of the inmates, contact the u.s. marshals at 800-336-1802. if you don't have a pen, call 911. they will put you in touch with them. the district attorney heading up the case is in the 7:00 hour. a cleveland judge is recommending charges in the shooting death of 12-year-old tamir rice. he was killed last november playing with a pellet gun. martin savidge has been following the story. he is joining us live with the

latest. martin? >> good morning. this is a ruling that had something for everyone but didn't have everything for anyone. what i mean is it was a mixed result in the eyes of many people. the supporters of tamir rice and his family believe it's a victory. the judge said there was probable probable cause of pressing charges. murder manslaughter reckless homicide negligent homicide and derelict of duty. they wanted the arrest of the officers. that's where the judge stopped short saying he didn't have the power to order their arrest. he would need an order coming from a prosecutor. that means that's where it comes back to the prosecutor where this case has been. the family for tamir rice is saying that well this is one

step toward justice. the attorney who represents timothy says this is prejudicial. there was essentially a trial, but not much in the way of evidence and no grand jury. totally wrong in the legal process. he spoke to me last night. >> i think his life will never be the same. he's a young man, wanted to be a police officer, is a police officer and depending on who you talk to everybody has a different version of facts. the only facts i would rely on are what the sheriff's department did. it's been assassination by innuendo. anyone of us would suffer under those conditions. >> reporter: he pointed out no one suffered more than tamir rice and his family. it was a tragedy. when a grand jury will hear the case we do not know. they say it is only a grand jury that will determine if or not

charges will be filed against the officers. >> we are going on six months already and this case is far from over. martin savidge, thanks for staying on top of it. we will speak with an attorney representing the family of tamir rice. a somehowdown over the landmark trade bill. lawmakers are expected to vote on legislation to give authority to seal a deal on a trade agreement. democrats, his own party may be the biggest obstacle for the president. let's go to the white house. michelle is there. >> reporter: trade did pass the senate. passing the house was always going to be a different ball game. speaking of which, here is the president at the congressional baseball game. one part of a last minute push. people in the stands were chanting for the passage of tpa. only in washington right? this is one of those strange situations where you have the

white house and republicans on the same side for the most part. it's democrats in the house who are balking at this. the arguments on each side are so strenuous. on one side it is critical to the u.s. economy, for them to compete and engage in asia. this is bound to be a loss for u.s. jobs. the white house is insisting this time it's going to be gimpbt different. they are talking about the deal with asia they are trying to complete. built-in written provisions to protect human rights the environment and labor. that has to mean a couple things happen before that can go through. there's going to be a vote on protecting american workers if they lose their job. there's bickering over democrats and republicans but that has to

pass before trade promotion authority. that needs to happen before the transpacific partnership can go through. that's what this is all about right now. alisyn? >> you are giving mae three-hour headache. there's so much beaurocracy. >> reporter: this will be. >> the tpa -- >> i know. >> we are going debate it all with the political panel coming up. >> reporter: we need a chart. >> are you down with opp? thank you so much michelle for that. general martin dempsey suggesting a shift in strategy against isis which may mean more u.s. troops heading to the region. dempsey saying it may require opening outposts near the front lines. earlier, the white house announcing the plans to deploy 450 forces to iraq.

shocking new information about german wings co-pie lat. lubitz feared going blind. cnns seen your european correspondent jim bittermann has the latest from paris. new details just released jim. >> reporter: the prosecutor held a news conference to talk about the details and announce he's going to open up this criminal investigation to see if someone should be held negligent for their role or perhaps not taking a role in preventing lubitz from lying. lubitz in the five years before he crashed the plane, he visited 41 different doctors, including ophthalmologists and urologists.

a month before the plane crashed, he visited seven doctors, including three psychiatrists. what the doctors told him is there was no organic reason for his perceived blindness. he lost 30% or 35% of his vision at night. he was worried they were going to cancel his pilot's license. and the doctors are held up to a standard of secrecy between clients, patients and the law. they kept silent on all the accusation that is were coming at all the things they were hearing. as a consequence, they never told anybody, apparently. the prosecutor looked into the whole thing to see if anyone is to be held negligent in the crash. >> jim bittermann in paris, thanks so much. government hack attack worse than thought, much worse. a breach revealed compromised

the personal data of every single federal employee including social security numbers. it began with an attack in december. after that the cyber crooks were able to navigate through other systems. officials tell cnn they believe china is responsible for the attack. it is a charge china more or less denied. >> how can they not figure out who did it? >> they say they are sure it was china. they haven't presented evidence to the public to determine that. every single federal employee? >> past and present here. social security numbers, what are they going to do with it now that they have the information? >> a cleveland judge says there is enough evidence to charge two police officers in the fatal shooting of 12-year-old tamir rice. now what? our legal panel, next.

the status of the case yesterday, today and tomorrow hasn't changed. we have had the investigation by the county sheriff's department and is now with the county prosecutor and will proceed from there. >> that was the attorney for timothy loman reacting that there is probable cause to charge his client in the shooting death of tamir rice. he was the 12-year-old boy with a pellet gun and he was shot

dead seconds after the police pulled up to the scene. let's go to danny and mel. danny is a criminal defense attorney and mel is also an attorney and cnn commentator. danny, what the judge decided is there's probable cause to charge the men with murder manslaughter reckless homicide negligent homicide. this judge says there is probable cause to charge them with that but, that doesn't mean today they are being charged with that. legally speaking what are the consequences here? >> the consequences are virtually none. this judge reached the correct legal result. i'm not talking about the probable cause determination. arguably more important was the determination of the role and the power of the court in this situation. in ohio this law allows for what are called private,

criminal complaints to be reviewed by a court. the issue is can the court compel the arrest and prosecution of a defendant if the prosecutor does not want to get involved or independent of the prosecutors involvement. the court concluded it does not have that power. even though there is an ohio statute that say ifs the judge found probable cause, then warrants shall issue, not may, not if you want to but shall issue. it's a fascinating discussion of direct conflict of two ohio laws. >> it means, as of now, the judge can't say there is probable cause, but does not mean the prosecutors are going to press charges, necessarily. mel, let me tell you what the prosecutor is saying. timothy put out a statement after the ruling saying this case as with all cases using deadly force will go to the grand jury.

that has been the policy of this office since i was elected. ultimately the grand jury decides whether the police officers are charged or not charged. legally speaking they believe what the judge said means nothing. politically speaking practically speaking mel, doesn't this put an enormous amount of pressure on the prosecutor to have the grand jury indict? >> well john good morning. good morning, danny. one would certainly hope so. why would i say that? it's been 200 days guys. the michael brown grand jury had a decision out almost 100 days. marilyn marilyn mosby indicted in a couple weeks. this is something all of the legal analysts have been saying. there is a system in place with police officer investigations where the prosecutor the local prosecutor that works with the

police officers john has a tremendous amount of discretion. when will this be presented to the grand jury? when this prosecutor is good and ready present it. since 200 days guys there was snow on the ground when the 12-year-old was murdered within two seconds of the police officers showing up on the scene. 200 days have gone by. nothing, absolutely nothing has happened. i hope it puts pressure on the prosecution to do something. >> you have worked as a prosecutor. what would it do to you if you had a judge saying by the way, i have looked at this case and in three days. this happened monday and in three days i decided there was probable cause. what pressure does that put on you? >> i was a criminal defense attorney so normally i'm jumping up and down on things. in terms of the prosecutor this is an elected role. he may not care at all. he might be emboldened.

he might say, screw you, you are not going to tell me what to do. i have held this office i know what i'm doing. i will put it in front of the grand jury when i'm ready. if he wants an indictment he would have put it before the grand jury already. the likelihood is he doesn't want to prosecute the case. the reason i know? he's waited 200 days and hasn't done anything. >> you talk about being careful and deliberate in the process. this has taken months and months and months for the prosecutor to get it before a grand jury. the judge looked at the case for three days and decided there was probable cause. >> well the judge's role is much more limited. he's making that determination of probable cause, which smaller court judges do every day, thousands of times a day. it's a much more -- it's a lower burden and easier determination

to make. the judge, understanding from the beginning his role is advisory has that liberty of making that determination. what is also significant is he found no probable cause as to some of the charges, which, again, are advisory. really more interesting in this case is his determination that he has no power to issue those warrants. it would be a problematic world indeed if a judge could order prosecution without the involvement of the prosecutor. in that sense, the judge reached the right result. the fact he did so so quickly compared to the prosecution, i don't think we should focus too much on because nationally we shouldn't have an absolute standard of how many days are required to issue or determination of probable cause or decide to prosecute. >> 200 days come on. >> the warren commission took a long time. you can make the argument with

different investigations there are different resources and different needs that need to be called upon. >> we are going to leave it here now. a lot more to discuss on this case for sure. the judge may have created a more complicated case. thank you. what is your take on it. #newdaycnn or facebook.com/newday. almost a week and two convicted killers are still on the run. search dogs have the scent, but no sign of the killers in up state new york. we are taking a closer look at the tools law enforcement are use zing like dogs. ortho bug b gon gives you season-long control of all these types of bugs. spectracide gives you season-long control... of just ants. their label says so. bugged by more than ants? get ortho bug b gon. the label tells the story. ortho home defense gives you year long control of all these household bugs -

welcome back. the search is intensifying for the two escaped prisoners in up

state new york. authorities are focusing their search in this concentrated area three miles from the prison where they escaped. we learned new information overnight about where this all began. tracking dogs picked up the scent at this gas station less than a mile from the clinton collectional facility. they tracked it to katiesville. what's important are all these yellow dots in the area. they represent homes and buildings and structures 330. some of them are seasonal homes, others might be abandoned. they are where the killers could be hiding. a couple experts joining me are two experts he is with his dog, montana. he is a specialist in training

and placing bloodhounds with the fbi. also joining me is ed davis, the former boston police department commissioner and the head of the department at the time of the boston bombing and led the search for dzhokhar tsarnaev. thank you for joining us this morning, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> good morning. >> i want to talk about the bloodhounds bloodhounds. they seem to make a huge different in the picking up the scent at the gas station. how sensitive are the dog's noses? >> they are very sensitive. they are the best animal on earth to do that type of work. >> we keep hearing the dogs are picking up the scent. what does that mean? does it mean the individuals could have been walking through an area or they had to have been there longer? >> no, no, these dogs are taught to work off a specific odor. it's what they call scent

discriminating. once they are taught to do that and given the odor off something the person has wore or had hold of or something, the dog will lock in on the odor and work the odor no matter what. it's like they have to have it. >> is it very reliable can you say with 100% certainty, if they have a hit, indeed those people were there? >> oh no ma'am. you can't say 100% on anything. after all, they are an animal. what you can do is rely on your training and your records and your proficiency level of working different cases and scenarios you have laid out. if the dog has been trained properly it is most definite the dog can pick it up and tell you whether they have been there, or not. it can also if it's been worked enough trail the car, which way it left the station or wherever it might be. >> duke stay with us. ed i want to turn to you.

we mentioned the 330 structures in the search zone officials are combing. how would they divvy up responsibilities of searching the structures? >> well this set up of perimeter based upon clues they found at the scene to try to go far enough the suspects will be inside the perimeter. once they have done that they will break it up into zones and different teams assigned to search the zones. one of the problems and challenges you face in a residential area is once you go into the area and search it you can't leave, unlike a military operation with troops at the scene, the search teams go through then leave. so the chance of suspects doubling back on you is one of the problems that the officials will be facing now. >> we know there are a few other clues in this search. they found food wrappers an

area where they believe the suspect had been lying down leaves. do you know is there any way to date those clues? >> that's extremely problematic from an investigators perspective. you tend to look at the physical evidence at the scene and combine it with potential witness statements to determine when that particular damage to the foliage occurred. but it's hard to do. you really need to bring in people specialists who are in the woods all the time who understand these things better than some of the police involved in the search. i'm sure in addition to the officers charged with the searching, they will have experts being brought in like duke who track people but also who understand the woods and the forest better than the police do.

>> we know forest rangers are part of this investigation for that very reason. duke tell me about these dogs again. can they be more specific about who they are smelling? can they tell investigators if it's one or two people and which one they are smelling? >> well no they have to go off of a specific odor. they have to have something from one of those people. they won't track both at once. where they bedded down they can take an odor pad or let the dog go to the scene and smell at that spot. the dog will lock on to that odor and tell them which way they left and can continue a trail from there. they are scent discriminated. they only take in one at a time. when they are done they expel that and you can take them to the next. >> final question i want to ask you, we know that helicopters are being used. we have airplanes with infrared

cameras with heat sensors. there are hundreds of law enforcement officers scouring this area. between 2002 and 2013 only one person was gone longer than two days before being captured. are these fugitives that smart or lucky, do you think? >> go ahead, ed. >> it's probably a case of luck in this situation. we have used the forward looking devices in helicopters and planes. they do a good job of identifying people in the wilderness. unfortunately, there are ways to evade them. they might have knowledge of that. but, the bottom line is they are not going to stay out for long. they don't have if they don't have assistance if they don't have somebody moving them around they are stuck in an

area. there's a lot of police resources there. i think they are going to wrap them up fairly quickly. >> we hope so. thank you for joining us. davis, duke our appreciation to you. john? you want strange? you want controversy? how about this? questions about an naacp official. is she white? is she black? her family wants to clear the air.

back to the top story, police focusing the manhunt for two fugitives in up state new york three miles from the prison after bloodhounds picked up a strong scent. police also finding shoe imprints and shoe wrappers. we are learning the prison worker who allegedly helped them escape was investigated in the past for possible involvement with one of the inmates. she said he made her feel special. a friend is expected in

court today. the fbi says he and a third man encouraged them to carry out an attack using knives. he was shot dead in a confrontation with boston police last week. new questions this morning, swirling around the leader of a spokane chapter of naacp. is rachel presenting to be black? her parents saying she is white and has been falsely portraying her race for years. a local tv station pressed her about the allegations. listen to what had to say. >> are you african-american? >> i don't understand the question. >> i don't understand the question. the city of spokane, washington is investigating her for ethics violations. the issue came to light after

making multiple questions to police about racial harassment. >> let me rephrase. what i'm asking is are you african-american. >> that clears it up. what is your race. >> your parents might be a good source. >> they are estranged? >> must you be black to work at the naacp? >> i don't think so? >> why do it then? >> fair question. >> in the realm of questions and answers we do not fully understand let's talk basketball. the golden state warriors came up big. the series tied at two games a piece. it goes back to oakland. it is not the game people are talking about. oh no. it is what happened before the game. it was a short moment before the game in the bleacher report. >> yes, good morning, guys. as we all know lebron he has a camera an him at all times. before the game he was

adjusting his shorts and accidentally lowered his compression shorts a little too far. here is the video that has everyone talking. of course we have blurred it for you. people are calling it the biggest wardrobe malfunction since janet jackson at the super bowl. if you want like to see more you can go to the internet. golden state changing things up going with a small lineup. andrew coming off the bench, fouls lebron. went flying into the camera man. he winds up with a good gash on the side of his head. you know what makes it better? a kiss from mom. lebron played through the pain. cavs down three. golden state wins this one easily 103-82. the sere rice tied two games a piece. goes back to the bay area for

nothing better than a capitol hill showdown. we have one today. in the house over president obama's pacific trade bill. a vote expected this morning. it's the president's own party who could block this. joining us to talk about it republican consultant margaret hoover and editor and chief of the daily beast, john. we saw a remarkable sight, president obama went up to the nationals game. two things president obama is not fond of congress and baseball. yet, he was there.

he was there to lobby not congressmen, before democrats. with nancy pelosi trying to win votes from his own party. look how much he cares about baseball. he doesn't care about baseball. >> he's a white sox fan. >> they are not talking legislation. they are talking baseball. what he's trying to do is demonstrate to the democrats there in the dugout i'm still popular, i have juice. you can't screw me on this. i need this legislation passed and i need you with me. this was a posturing movement. i think he was trying to throw his weight around a bit. he needs democrats with him. nancy pelosi has not said she supports him on this. >> the president's trade agreement, they want fast track. you know you are getting -- democrats, traditionally backed by labor, there's a feeling of being burned by nafta and there

are provisions in this trade agreement to undercut those concerns. you have republicans who support free trade, some of whom are not supporting this because it's obama's free trade. >> the problem isn't the republicans. most republicans is the democrats not supporting their president. >> two democrats, many democrats, i should say met with the chief of staff. two came out and spoke to politico and used course and colorful language. this is from congressman pete defazio. i said you are telling us we have to facilitate your deal on this trade agreement and the president can't do anything for us basically. i said that's bull blank, and it is. it's bull. >> nicely done mr. congressman. look democrats are a tough sell. they feel burned by nafta. this administration put in a lot of provisions to address

democrats concerns. guaranteed minimum wage to environmental protections. how much can be done? >> to interject, this is a larger commentary on this. you get interest of democrats generally, who say, if you haven't had real legislative experience this president didn't have it. it really has shown in his relationship with democrats and republicans. >> in a case where democrats don't do something because the president says so may show he's losing clout. let's talk about hillary clinton making his first big public speech in a big, public rally tomorrow in new york. she's not going to lay out policy which i think is understandable. she's going to talk about part of her life she thinks we haven't heard about before. she's going to talk about her mom, growing up middle class,

abandoned in the depression era. why is this person who's been in public life for decades and decades need to find something we haven't heard about yet, that we might connect with more? >> this is part of the curiosity of hillary clinton. she's reintroducing herself to the american people for 25 years now. it gets tougher and tougher. the story about her mother is the newest tact. this is why she's running. she's going to hit the themes like middle class like we have heard before. talking about her mother is something she didn't do in 2008 when her mother was alive. when they have to redo their introduction it's a difficult day. >> they are calling this the official launch of her campaign. what do you think? >> it boggles my mind somebody we have known in public life is going to reintroduce herself, once again, to the american people to run for president.

again, it does defy dmoncommon sense in every way. but, we haven't heard her talk intimacy. the relationship with her mother and her abandonment. that's the one thing hillary lags on is authenticity and ability to connect with people. stk washington post is talking about jeb bush saying his campaign has run off course. what do you think about that? >> he doesn't have a campaign yet. that's what's extraordinary about this. you cannot have a playbook that says i'm the biggest guy in the race the most name id i have the most money and i should get the nomination. that is not going to fly. it seemed that way to republicans. 20 other people clamgot into the race. not in this party. >> he's had a bad few weeks. he went from the front-runner to

the middle of the pack. this is mission critical time. it's a long way off. he's not pretending everything is right because it ain't. >> he opened a lot of doors. >> great to have you. have a great weekend. we are following a lot of news this morning. let's get to it. police narrowing their search to a few square miles. tracking dogs picked up the scent of two fugitives. joyce mitchell -- >> she's not been arrested. >> they have no idea where they are. they don't have a clue. >> charges against police officers. >> the rule sg nonbinding. >> in the shooting death of 12-year-old tamir rice. >> 17-year-old of virginia is facing 15 years in prison z. >> pleading guilty to giving material support to isis. >> in a prolific online presence

that included 4,000 followers on his twitter account. announcer: this is new day with chris cuomo, alisyn and michaela. >> welcome back to "new day." chris and michaela are off this morning. john and ana are here with me. >> good to be here. >> bloodhounds are on the trail of two escaped prisoners. they are focusing three miles away from the prison where they escaped. >> food wrappers show they may have been hiding in the area. details emerging about the relationship between a convict and the prison employee that may have helped in this escape. coverage begins with jason carroll who is live in new york. good morning, jason. >> reporter: good morning to you, john. that section of 374, routes 374 still closed at this hour.

the saranac school district canceled classes today as the search in the area continues. new details about the trail they may have been on. apparently bloodhounds picked up the scent of the two men at a local gas station located a mile or so away from the prison. they may have been there looking for food or supplies gone to a dumpster looking for food or supplies. security cameras are being reviewed to see if there are leads to get from the cameras as well. meantime dogs may have traced the scent to the area here. that's where they found a spot perhaps, they believe they may have been bedding down for a period of time. they found wrappers and a boot print as well. probably a fresh boot print. dogs are on the scent. searchers out here looking. the concern is
