tv   Don Lemon Tonight  CNN  September 6, 2022 11:00pm-12:00am PDT

11:00 pm
other nations willingness to continue to share with us when apparently we are kind of loosey goosey about protecting these kinds of information. and of course, it makes a big difference if this is a friendly nation versus an adversary. and if it's a friendly nation, that leads to a another set of complications that we experience in the aftermath of snowden's revelations in 2013. so, on lots of levels, don, this is very, very concerning to me. again, assuming this reporting is accurate. >> can you talk to me about the specific information, what kind of specific information could this include? >> well, it could include, i think, capabilities of a foreign nation in the nuclear arena.
11:01 pm
and, or, importantly, the obverse of that is that it could also indicate what we do not know about a foreign nation. which could give them some form of reassurance, particularly if it's an adversary. so, nuclear capabilities, number of weapons, how many are on alert, maintenance status, training status of their personnel or command and control, there is a whole plethora of kinds of information pertaining to a nuclear offense or defense that could be revealed or information could be inferred by exposure of these documents. >> this is obviously very valuable top secret information. but what is the value of this top secret information to another country? because, you know, only a certain number of countries have nuclear capabilities.
11:02 pm
>> well, that's right. it is a fairly small club of nine or ten, depending on if you include north korea or not, i guess. and as i say, this goes to the very core of our nation's existence. and that is why nations pursue and acquire nuclear weapons. it's why we did. it's why russia has and china. it's why north korea has, because it gets to the very existence in how they deter foreign attacks. and so, this in turn is, as i say, the holiest of holy's of secrets. which nations strive very hard to protect and restrict access to, as we do in this country. this is a very narrow field of view, so to speak, for people that do have access to this kind of data. and that is why this is so
11:03 pm
concerning. >> this, i hate to ask you this, do officials, or do we need to assume that this material has already been compromised, since it was in an insecure location for so long? >> well, that is the very question that the dni and others, since this is, this could be a dni matter, depending on the nature of the document, is assessing, you know, the damage that could accrue from this if it is exposed. and you have to make the assumption, if you're doing an assessment, you sort of have to worst-case it, that it was exposed, since it wasn't protected, there probably is no records kept of who had access, who might have seen these documents. we do not know where they were in the country club complex there.
11:04 pm
and the other assumption that you have to make is that mar-a-lago, from the get-go, has been a key priority for foreign intelligence service as a target. so, you put all those factors together and the prudent thing to do is to make worst-case that it conceivably and probably could have been exposed, and do your assessment accordingly. >> oh, boy, director clapper, thank you so much. i appreciate it. i want to bring in cnn political correspondent abby philip. also senior legal correspondent elie honig, he's the author of hatchet man, how bill barr broke the prosecutors code andcorrupted the justice department. and former special watergate prosecutor john sale. he's also a former personal attorney for rudy giuliani. good evening, everyone. elie, i'm gonna start with you, because i want to get your reaction to to what we are learning for the washington post tonight. we're talking documents so top secret that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about what
11:05 pm
these documents contain. does this bolster the fbi's case that they needed to take action to retrieve these documents? >> for sure, don. i think the criticism of the fbi we've heard from donald trump and others is they acted too rationally, too precipitously. why did they not try other measures? first of all, we already know they did try other measures for well over a year they tried informal negotiations. they don't get all the documents. they tried to subpoena, they didn't get all the documents. and the search warrant was really there sort of last option. if anything, if this reporting from the washington post holds up that there was at least one document relating to nuclear programs recovered, i think you would ask why didn't doj and fbi act more quickly? i think this sort of puts to bed any defense along the lines of well, this search warrant was done sort of too rationally or unfairly. >> abby, let's talk about the political part of this. the trump spokesperson is calling this a lie tonight, criticizing the report. the washington post sources did not identify the foreign
11:06 pm
government in question. but what is the political and diplomatic damage here? >> i mean, i have said this from the beginning about this case. this is one of those situations where i think the average person, the average american, understands how important top secret documents are. they understand the idea of national security concerns around the government secrets, particularly as it relates to secrets that are obtained by spies. that is just not hard for people to understand. for trump, one of the biggest problems that he has is that the common sense test makes it really difficult to spin his way out of this one. the explanations that are being put forward by his representatives just do not make much sense if the allegations that are being reported and are being put in court documents are true. there is, i think for most
11:07 pm
people, no real reason these types of documents should be in the former president's beach resort. and even if you put aside the question about the nuclear issue the fact that there were top secret documents there from the beginning are very problematic. and again, the short term gain that the trump team thought they were going to get by publicizing the existence of this search on mar-a-lago could very well be totally outweighed by the fact that if this is going to be a persistent narrative about him in the news, from now until at least the end of the year, but even further, just depending on how long it takes for the government to go through the process of their investigation. >> john sale, you have been supportive of the former president trying to get a special master. give me a reaction to the judge ruling in favor of the former presidents request. >> i think a special master can
11:08 pm
aid to confidence in this system, can add to lower the temperatures. i think as the judge wrote it is just gonna give a pause, a brief pause, and what's the harm? some delay? we're in that 60-day window anyway, so is it not better to get it right? and let me just say, what the special master, what the judge has ordered it not to, it does not shut down the investigation. the government can continue to interview witnesses, issue grand jury subpoenas. it has no effect on national security, such as this washington post story, because the judge carves out an exception for the dni damage assessment. and it just gives us a chance to take a deep breath, because every day something is more and more startling. but i want to say, when you say i'm supportive of a special master, i'm totally supportive of the notion that nobody, including the former president, is above the law. so i do not think those things are inconsistent.
11:09 pm
>> doesn't it stop the doj from using the information in the investigation, elie, am i wrong? or go ahead john. >> it stops them for using the investigation temporarily. but the judge wrote in her order, that when the process resolves, when the process is done, the president, the former president, may not get any the privileges sustained. and she also said none of the claims of having his rights highlight have borne out in the record. >> elie, you wrote the book on bill barr. and this is what he said about special master reviewing documents of the mar-a-lago search. he doesn't go along with john sale, this is what he says. >> the opinion, i think, was wrong. and i think the government should appeal it. it is deeply flawed in a number of ways. i do not think the appointment of a special master is going to hold up. and even if it does, i do not see it fundamentally changing the trajectory. in other words, i do not think
11:10 pm
it changes the ball game so much as we will have a rain delay for a couple of innings. >> well, i mean, partially he agrees with what jon said, a rain delay in for a couple of innings. but he does not think she got it right. what is your reaction to these comments and what is at stake here? >> well, i certainly agree with both jon and bill barr that this is a delay, this is a holdout, this is not going to determine any outcomes of the case. in terms of whether the judge got it right or wrong, let me just say this, be wary of any blanket assertions that the judge was absolutely right or absolutely wrong on executive privilege. because the fact of the matter is, we have very little case law to executive privilege. and you will hear people from time to time make assertions like a former president does not have a cannot invoke executive privilege. that is just not right. the supreme court has said there can be narrow circumstances were a former president can invoke executive privilege. this is the kind of decision that is invested in our district court judges, a trial court judges. i think what this judge did is
11:11 pm
weigh two competing factors. on one hand, not wanting to slow down or create unnecessary burden. on the other hand, as jon said, let's be safe, let's bring in a third party, let's bring in a neutral outsider, so at a minimum we will have an appearance here, we can tell the american public that all precautions were taken to guard the privileges. and i think the judge did a reasonable job of balancing those two factors. >> listen, the couple times we heard from the former attorney general bill barr, he has been going against what, you know, the former president, abby, he was one the presidents biggest enablers, but now is making a hard turn. this is what he said to the january 6th select committee, watch this. >> i made it clear i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out this stuff, which i call the president was bullish it. if he really believes the stuff, he has, you know, lost contact with, he's become detached from reality if he really believes the stuff. there was never an indication of interest in what the actual
11:12 pm
facts were. >> he is partial to a certain word, abby, because he's calling trump's request for a special master a crock of dish. what message does the send? >> you know, bill barr is such an interesting character in all of this. i think based on his testimony before the january 6th committee, it is pretty clear that he thought that something changed with trump in those last months of his presidency, where he became detached from reality, he stop listening to the people around him, so many cabinet officials like barr put up with a lot of behavior from trump that they personally did not like because they thought that trump was still listening to the cooler heads, the rational heads. and that change for barr toward the end. and so, i am not surprised to see that he thinks this is also a bit of a bridge too far. i'm interested in how ever just
11:13 pm
the fact that barr was sort of known as attorney general as someone who had a very strong belief in, you know, the power of the executive branch, the power of the president himself. and now, he seems to be saying that, you know, trump really does not have a valid executive claim. perhaps this is all just because of the bitter taste left in his mouth after all that trump has said about him, and the way that he departed administration. but barr has had a bit of a shift here when it comes to trump. and it is also a reflection of what a lot of people who left that administration at the end felt about trump. they stayed for a lot of that presidency until the end. and they are in that club of people who think that perhaps trump should not be anywhere near the presidency. although we should be clear, don, bill barr has kind of danced around this issue of whether he would vote for trump
11:14 pm
again. but a lot of people have kind of had it with these candidates. >> elie, i want you to weigh in, because the last couple times we heard about it, it has not been pro trump. this is a guy who spun the mueller report in favor trump. again, you wrote the book. what is your response? >> yeah, i have given up trying to psychoanalyze bill barr. i think abby hit the nail on the head there. this is a person, let's not forget, despite what he's done over the last couple months, he spent two years lying to us, lying to congress, lying to the american public. trying to get trump out of trouble, destroying the facts, destroying the law, spreading conspiracy theories. he was one of the biggest proponents of the election fraud theory in the months leading up to the election. now, as abby said, he had a certain point. i guess everybody has got their breaking point where he said i'm willing to go this far, i'm willing to bend the truth this far, by a certain point, i think bill barr realize it was over. the election was over. donald trump was out, he was out. and i think bill barr made a move that at a minimum was designed to serve his own self interest, is rational self
11:15 pm
interest, saying i need to make a break, i won't use his language, but bs, bs. and we're seeing that even now on his comment on the special master. >> mr. sale, there is a friday deadline for a joint filing on the special master. but these two sides have not agreed on much, so how is this going to work? >> well, i do not think there don't agree on anything. a judge will have a candidate in mind, and hopefully, it will be a candidate of such stature that the american people will have faith in the review and faith in the judiciary. you know, i know that this judge has taken a lot of criticism in the last few days. i generally believe what the chief justice, said there are no obama judges, and there are no trump judges. once judges take that oath, i think they call as they see it. i think judge cannon has done. this >> you don't think, listen, maybe that's right. but you don't think that maybe they were judge shopping, considering that they ended up with this particular judge, in this particular jurisdiction? >> i know that has been said. they did not choose to
11:16 pm
intervene before judge reinhart in the search warrant matter. but this case went, was filed in west palm beach, not a fort pierce. and it went into the wheel and. it was randomly assigned and most people have said otherwise do not practice in this district. >> elie, listen, i've got some other news that's just into cnn. a new development for. youth sources are telling cnn that steve bannon is expected to surrender thursday -- new york state charges relating to his effort to build a wall along the southern border. what is this all mean? >> still more legal problems for steve bannon, don. and of the sounds familiar to people, steve bannon tried with fraud over the scheme to raise funds over this quote, we build the wall group, and then pocketing. it it should feel familiar, because he was already indicted for it by the department of justice, by my old office, the southern district of new york, back in 2020. but what happened was, before
11:17 pm
that went to trial, donald trump in his final hours an office, pardon steve bannon. but interestingly, not the other three defendants who are charged in that scheme, two of whom who have now been convicted. now, we are seeing a state level prosecutor, the manhattan da, bring these charges based on the same conduct. of, course a presidential pardon has no impact on a state level. charge and if people are wondering there is no double no double jeopardy problem, here because you are allowed to charge somebody with the exact same conduct in the federal system, and the state systems. the supreme court just reaffirmed that a few years ago. and i should add, don, let's also remember that steve bannon was convicted a couple months ago of criminal contempt of congress, a separate case, because he defied his subpoena from the january six committee. he has got sentencing coming up from that soon. he will be sentenced to at least one month in federal prison for that. so now he is going to have that as well as the state level fraud charge. >> listen, there's so many of these. a couple of. these is the, want the new one that we're going to, is this when he was arrested going to the yacht?
11:18 pm
>> i think that's right. >> i think that's this. what >> if memory serves, does the federal charge in 2020. basically, they were saying to trump supporters, tonight to this fund. we're going to privately financed the construction of a southern border wall. and steve bannon and the other defendants allegedly pocketed that that. money steve bannon, hundreds of thousands of dollars, up to 1 million dollars that is a straight-up standard fraud. and as i said, two of the other codefendants have already been convicted of that over the federal system. and now steve bannon reportedly is going to have to face that in the state system. thank you elie, thank you abby, thank you john sale, i appreciate it. i'll see you guys soon. so, new video obtained by cnn shows the former gop chairman of coffee county, georgia, who is under criminal investigation for allegedly posing as a fake elector in 2020 discording a team of pro trump operative to the county's election office on january 7th of 2021, the same day a voting system there is known to have been breached. we are going to break down what the video shows, next.

tonight cnn obtaining video
11:23 pm
showing a republican county official in georgia escorting operatives who -- for the former president into election offices on the same day voting machines there were breached. the breach is under investigation by georgia officials. the gop county official identified as kathy layton is under criminal investigation, proposing as a fake elector in 2020. we have more on this developing story tonight from cnn senior investigative -- drew griffin. drew? >> don, the surveillance video you're about to see is from an election's office in georgia. just one of the states where breaches of voting machines are under investigation. the woman that you're seeing there, kathy latham, in blue, she used to be the chairwoman of the coffee county gop. she's already under investigation for posing as a fake elector, signing one of those documents that declared donald trump the winner of the 2020 election, not joe biden.
11:24 pm
she can be seen escorting a team of pro-trump operatives into the elections office, where those operatives breached the voting machines including a man named, paul maduro, an i. t. specialist whose company was hired by trump to attorney. how do we know they breached him or sheen's? this guy, scott hall, actually admits it in this audio obtained by cnn. >> i'm the guy that chartered the -- to go down to the county to have them inspect all of those computers. i went down there, we scanned every leap a ballot. and they scanned all the equipment, all the hard drives, and scanned every single ballot. >> scott hall isn't and on land bail bondsmen, done and described as a republican operative. cnn got no response from him
11:25 pm
today. kathy latham, who opened the door the video, has been connected to the plan that access the elections office through emails and text document in a civil case. her attorney told us miss latham has not acted improperly or legally. and that ms. latham did not authorize or prejudice faith in any ballot scanning efforts, computer imaging, or any other activity, similar activity, i should say. the it specialist firm says it has no reason to believe the lawyers that hired them with direct anyone to do anything wrong. there seems to be no doubt this counties machines were compromised and ballots were scanned on the behest of these operatives working for trump, don? >> all right, drew griffin, thank you so much. the gloves are off in pennsylvania's senate race. doctor oz taking shots at opponent john fetterman's health. but, he is not alone and asking questions about that. is it fair game?

11:30 pm
okay so, pennsylvania gop senate nominee mehmet oz ramping up his attacks on democratic opponent, john fetterman, and his health issues. listen to what he had to say during a press conference in philadelphia. this is earlier today. >> john fetterman is either healthy and he's dodging the debates because he does not want to answer for his radical left positions, or he's too sick to participate in the debate. >> all right, so let's bring in cnn political commentator paul begala and scott jennings. good evening to both of you. scott, pennsylvania gop senator pat toomey joined dr. oz at the event today, and also took shots at fetterman's health. take a listen to this. >> i'm here to issue a warning to pennsylvania voters. you cannot do the job of u.s. senator sitting at home firing off snarky tweets. it's a demanding job.
11:31 pm
it requires extensive time on the road, long days and nights. i have my doubts about whether john fetterman is up to the job. >> so, oz's strategy of attacking fetterman's how health is backed by. do you think it's going to be more affective as it gets closer to the midterms? is it more effective, scott, coming from an establishment republican, like to me? >> well, i think it is affective coming from to me. he's got credibility with people in pennsylvania. he knows what it takes to be a senator. and let's be clear, doctor oz did not cause john fetterman's campaign to be evasive about this. they did not cause fetterman's campaign to say he cannot do the debates. they did not cause fetterman's campaign to say his health issues were a bump in the road, and then for fetterman to say he almost died. the vision here in the mystery here is coming out of fetterman 's own campaign. these are questions, you don't have to flip about it, you don't have to be mean, but if
11:32 pm
you are pennsylvania voter you do have to ask the basic question, can you execute the job duties of u.s. senators? because right now it does not seem like fetterman can execute the job capabilities of a candidate. so i think it's fair game. >> let's pause, i can see wanting to get in. let me just say this, though. because it's not just oz into me talk about this. it's -- conservative editorial board published an op-ed today about his condition, writing in part, and i quote here, mr. fetterman is not well enough to debate his opponent. that raises serious concerns about his ability to serve as a united states senator. fetterman has had some instances of losing words midsentence. his campaign says he is dealing with auditory processing issues. is it not fair to say that voters need more information about his health? >> man, you have to be careful about how you do it. if mehmet oz was a nice guy like scott jennings, maybe he might could. down in texas, least double conditional, he might could get away with it. but he is not. he is a jerk. he put out a statement today,
11:33 pm
his campaign did, that said doctor oz promises not to intentionally hurt john's feelings. at any point in the debate, john can raise his hand and say bathroom break. look, a lot of pennsylvanians can relate to having a health scare. not a lot of pennsylvanians can relate to having ten homes and not even being able to admit how many, and voting in turkey before he ever voted in pennsylvania. oz has a problem and. his problem is he's seen as a phony. and he's seen as out of touch with pennsylvania, not a real pennsylvania, and a carpetbagger. attacking fetterman's health in such a clumsy, snotty way, frankly, it is not going to help make him more likely. by the way, 68% of pennsylvanians in a college vote said veterans health is not an issue to them. so i think it's wrong place for austin -- >> so you're saying it's fair. >> the style is so bad. >> you think it's fair, but it's how he does it, right, is not what you're saying? >> but voters decide. and they're deciding, 68% are
11:34 pm
saying it's not an issue to me. 51%, by the way, say oz living in new jersey is an issue for them, makes it less likely to vote for oz. he is just on the wrong side of this. i think we do a lot better talking on issues that affect peoples lives, like his position that he wants to outlaw all abortions in all states of america. it's a pretty radical position. >> scott, i want to talk about abortions, because that will play a big role in this as well. abortion road rights are playing a role in this race. oz has given conflicting answers about as pro life position. he now says he is four exceptions for rape, incest, life of a mother. but during the gop primary, he said abortion is still murder, because life starts as conception. how will the dramatic shift in, abortionists issue, affect his race? >> it's not a dramatic shift. i mean, look, i think doctor oz is looking at the political reality, and the reality is, and by the way, this is been the position of the republican party since i got into the business. and since ronald reagan was president, that we are a pro-life party.
11:35 pm
and we believe strongly in the values around what it means to say that you're pro-life. but at the same time, we believe in the exceptions of rape, incest, and life of the mother. doctor oz is exposing those views, which i think are actually pretty mainstream in pennsylvania. the extremists u.s. fetterman, who wants no limits on abortion whatsoever at any moment. and i think what fetterman, or what oz rather has to do, is get back on offense on this debate and not allow himself to be defined. i think that is what he's trying to do here. and he's gonna have to keep at it. because i think the democrats are gonna be very dishonest about was position is. but a mainstream position, for the exceptions on pro-life, i understand the political reality. there is not gonna be any federal ban. let's face it, there is not 60 votes for anything the united states senate. that will serve was very well if he stays on. >> so paul, listen, it's not a one 80, but the shift. what's your response? >> yeah, those key last fibers that scott just said, if he stays on it. you see, if people think you are a phony, and then you switch positions on abortion, right, that's not like a really
11:36 pm
arcane difficult position like on tariffs, everyone has a position on abortion. and when you move around, when you're not pro-choice, but your multiple choice, well, it's murder, but we can murder in a few cases, that is phony. and pennsylvania is going to sniff that out. i've done a lot of campaigns in pennsylvania. and what they are really looking for its authenticity. and fetterman is real. and he is a real pennsylvanian. and oz is a real new jersey, or ankara, or wherever he's from. but it is not pennsylvania. >> thank you, scott, i appreciate it. you know they say, it's the economy, stupid. what are the numbers show us about who will win the midterms? we will ask former treasury secretary larry summers right after this.

11:40 pm
11:41 pm
president biden trying to focus on his legislative winds, as he ramps up his campaign pushed to the midterms. it seems -- as the economy, stupid. -- the dow following the hundred 70 points just today. in a new wall street -- more voters -- to handle the economy and inflation, not democrats. let's bring in the former treasury secretary, mr. larry summers, who knows a thing or two about all of this. larry, good evening to you. thanks for joining. which overall assessment of where things stand with the economy right now around. it'll be clearly heading into the midterms.
11:42 pm
>> we've seen some favorable developments in the near term. yes, prices are down, with it, inflation measures. the economy, last month, continue to create jobs at a strong rate. that's all to the good -- those trends are actually likely to stay in place for the next several months. beyond that, i think we do have substantial problems. i've talked about it on your show before, don. an overheated economy, the difficulty of containing inflation, particularly in an environment where there is a war going on, particularly in an environment where iran -- is not cooperating as well as we would like, and we've got these very real strains with china. i think we've got a very challenging economic environment, but we are --
11:43 pm
you know, relatively sweet place right now. i do think, at some point, a downturn will come, given everything that's going on. >> larry, you said you expect the economy to, sort of, -- did you say, remain the same over the next couple of months? >> literally, as we speak, don, inflation came down considerably. gasoline prices are falling. >> what i'm wondering is, we're nine weeks away from the midterms, i'm just wondering, do you think it will remain the same or get better past than, that's what i'm trying to ask you. >> i think, in the period between now in the midterms, the economy is likely to continue to show relatively low inflation, and relatively strong employment. i think, to take that to mean that all is well would be too rosy of a scenario.
11:44 pm
i think, through the midterms, developments are likely to be relatively favorable, barring some kind of major shock in financial markets, which is always possible, but it wouldn't be my prediction. >> if you are in the white house right now, larry, advising the president or administration, one of the three things that you would do to get the economy back on track? >> look, i think it's absolutely crucial that they effectively implement what they're already committing to. i think that means we've got to do everything we can to increase energy supplies, both on the renewable dimensions and over the near term on the hydrocarbon dimensions, with faster permitting, greater if harassment, energy infrastructure, like pipelines, as well as in supporting renewables.
11:45 pm
i think it's crucial that we move as quickly as we can to build out to the country's infrastructure because that will contribute to greater productivity and, ultimately, that's what's most important for peoples living standards. i hope, at some point, will be able to go back and do something about the egregious international taxing polls, were corporations are able to move their profits to the cayman islands and get away with paying less taxes. they made a start on dealing with that in the inflation reduction act, but there is much more that can be done. my advice, to the administration, would be they have legislated a lot, they've put in the framework to do an

enormous amount, but it doesn't implemented self. for example, making sure this 52 billion dollars for semiconductors really restores american competitiveness. that it doesn't go to help china, that it doesn't go as corporate welfare. that's a very difficult and very, very important task. i think, secretary raimondo is up to that task, but she's going to have to assemble a first rate team to implement that legislation. >> larry, we always learn so much from you. we appreciate you joining us. we'll see you next time. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> so, she had been living with a man she met on craig's list, and now, she's missing. what happened to irene -- that's next.

a family seeking answers and accountability after their daughter went missing last winter. irene -- reported missing less than three years after she moved to the united states from kenya. at the time, she went missing, she would be living in wyoming with the man she met on craigslist, on credulous forum. police say the man is considered a person of interest in her disappearance and he is not made himself available to the detectives looking to resolve questions that exist in the investigation. -- via phone, via text and email, but he has not responded. cnn also left messages for his public defender but did not hear back. joining me now, cnn contributor -- she is the host of the killer psyche podcast. candace, thank you so much for joining.

i appreciated. let's talk about hyndman here. heineman has not been -- good he is a suspect unrelated case involving financial crimes, financial crimes case against her. police charged him for allegedly changing your bank account password, and leading her email count after she had gone missing. i'm sure you have a lot of questions, what are they? >> well, he commits these financial crimes and when you think about it, it appears that, for what he did, running up a credit card -- draining her checking account, he knew she wasn't going to need those things anymore and then, he fails -- or he refuses to cooperate with police regarding her disappearance. pretty clear to me what's going on. >> you know, he told police that he last saw irene in late february when, he says, she came home one night pachter clothing in left, in a dark colors to be here.
11:53 pm
also told her that he -- former bank account so she would be forced to contact him if she needed money. does that tell you anything about him and their relationship, and are you buying the story? >> i don't believe what he says. if you care about someone, and they've left to, and you want them to come back, why would you restrict their access to money so that they can get back? it makes no sense. >> according to court documents, investigators recovered a shovel, some boots. heighten said he bought it in the walmart late february, using your credit card. again, he hasn't been charged, but that seems like something investigators would ask more questions about, no? >> i'm sure they are asking questions. i think it's difficult to get a new information because -- diligently and they're keeping the lid on the investigation. that's a good thing.
11:54 pm
>> irene's parents, who are in kenya, say they were not aware that she was living in wyoming with someone she had met farm craigslist. her brother -- dated since 2020, but had broken up several times and they did not know that they were living together either. her family says that they are close. what can be happening with her that she wouldn't share details like that with them? >> i thought about that and, perhaps, before she went missing, the reason she did not share details was -- i wouldn't be the first time a young person didn't talk to their parents about their personal life, especially their dating life. but, one thing that occurred to me, maybe, because they were breaking up a lot, getting back, breaking up, getting back, maybe she didn't want to worry her parents that maybe she was unhappy. maybe -- even her brother is an idaho,
11:55 pm
maybe she was ashamed to tell them she was dating someone that was, well, a problem. >> no one's been charged in her disappearance police haven't found her yet. what happens next in this case? >> like i said, i think the police are, especially now that there is a national spotlight on this, yes, six months after it happened, nevertheless, a lot of crimes, lot of mysteries, missing person mysteries, have been solved after the fact. we know the police are looking at him as a person of interest. they've asked him to sit down and talk with him, and he refuses. that's a red flag to a detective. >> as you just said, again, cnn has made repeated attempts to reach him via phone, text and email, but he's not responding. thank you, candace, i appreciate it. >> you are welcome. >> thank you for watching, everyone. our coverage continues.
