president biden has spoken out saying he's gravely concerned about the violent crackdown. today we have learned of a development. the u.s. is expected to oppose new sanctions on iran ians who are su prosing the protests. good evening. the almost two months since the fbi executed a lawful court approved search of mar-a-lago which executed 100 documents that don't belong to him, everything short of taking his case to the supreme court. and now he's done that. something most ordinary people in his situation cannot even dream of doing, then again most people aren't ex-presidents and most ex-presidents are not like this ex-president.

jessica schneider on exactly what the former president's lawyers are asking for and perhaps significantly which justice they're asking. jessica, what more do we know about what the former president is seeking from the court? >> right now they've filed an emergency request at the court, anderson, even though they've waited two weeks after the 11th circuit ruled on this. now we're finding out that the justice department has one more week to file its response. trump's team here, they're asking for very limited relief. basically what they want is the special master to get access to these 100 classified documents that he's been blocked from reviewing ever since the 11th circuit ruled and crucially here, if the special master regained access, that would mean that trump's legal team would also get to see the classified documents. that's something they've long been angling for. what trump's team is arguing, they say the 11th circuit didn't have the jurisdiction to act when it did. now they want the supreme court to step in. notably, this request from trump's team does go directly to justice clarence thomas, but that's actually because he

oversees all petitions that come in from the 11th circuit and it's likely here that justice thomas will refer this to the full court to decide this issue. but, you know, anderson, we've seen trump appeal to the supreme court several times in the last few years with little success. you know, it was just earlier this year that the justices allowed the january 6th select committee to get access to trump's white house records, notably justice thomas dissented from that. back in 2020 they ruled that he couldn't block his financial documents from prosecutors in new york. this was filed as an emergency order. the justices could potentially rule pretty quickly after the doj responds to this early next week on tuesday. >> what does it mean for the justice department's investigation, the handling of the documents? >> it won't have any effect because notably trump's team are not asking the supreme court to stop the doj from using the 100 classified documents. doj's probe should continue as

normal while the emergency request is considered. even if doj were to lose this at the supreme court, they really wouldn't be affected because trump's request only goes to the special master getting access to these documents. trump's team is really asking for very limit ted relief, very technical and narrow grounds here. if it passes pro lolog they won step in. we'll see what happens. they could act pretty quickly. >> jessica schneider, thank you very much. joining us now, a panel. so, john, i know you've looked over this emergency application whampt do you make of the trump team legal argument? >> well, i didn't see much of an emergency. the first opening paragraph starts out that the emergency

apparently is the fact he believes that his -- his opponent in the last election is after him now that he's out of office. and that's pretty weak. so i think that the emergency is thin. the arguments are highly technical and not the sort of thing the supreme court, i would think, would want to get into given their current standing and public opinion. >> joan, do you agree with that? if clarence thomas does send it to the rest of the court, how do you think they would rule? >> well, a couple things of context here. exactly what john says about the time that the court is at right now. you know, with so many questions about its legitimacy just coming off a very tumultuous term where they reversed a half century of abortion rights and so many people are questioning the justice's stature in america. set aside those very big questions, this is actually a small sort of a granular request

here, you know, involving jurisdictional question on interlocutory appeal. i think what's likely to happen is, you know, we'll see the justice department's response next week when they file and then the justices are likely to give the trump team another day or so to file their response to that and then i think conceivably this would be a very straightforward question for them that's likely to face a denial. you know, former president trump has always thought he had the supreme court on his side and for many of his issues during his administration, his policy questions, the court did side with his conservative stance but, you know, when you think, anderson, about all the different cases that donald trump has brought to the supreme court as an individual, you know, the financial documents cases that we had back in 2020, the election request that he made, you know, at the end of 2020 and then just earlier this year when he was trying to block

documents from the archives, he's lost all those. this one looks set up to also be a loser, but i just want to caution, we just don't know and we haven't seen -- we haven't seen what will probably be several days of arguments unfolding on paper, at least. >> david, do you think this legal strategy by the former president is a delay tactic basically? >> yeah. i mean, anderson, you know, the president's famous for three ds. deny, delay and distract, right? this is delay. it's a -- the next step to the 11th circuit ruled. there's only one place to go. as joan points out, this is a very, very narrow, legal technical question in which his lawyers can make a straight-faced argument in front of the court without getting sanctioned and have a leg to stand on. but at the end of the day, as joan points out, the supreme court is probably not going to rule in his favor. you know, it's put up or shut

up. listen, the district court judge, even if trump wins, if she gets access to these documents, she may not rule in his favor. she may not like what she sees. it may be all classified documents and may be very upset. even if it goes his way in the court here, it may not go his way ultimately. >> joan, how do you think the justice department is going to rule? >> they have dug in. it's laid out arguments over several chapters of this including, you know, to essentially support what the 11th circuit has done. i suspect what it's going to do is going to lift key passages from the 11th circuit's ruling saying, you know, look, this court thought it out. we're at a stage of the litigation that this is not time for the supreme court to intervene and essentially just replay its original arguments and the arguments that we saw from the 11th circuit which really, you know, point by point took apart key issues of the

district court judge's decision but, again, there were several elements to that and former president trump is only appealing this just little narrow question. >> yeah. >> i think the justice department will handle it pretty swiftly. >> john dean, i mean, if the supreme court doesn't take it up, are there any other legal moves the trump team, you think, will make? >> i don't know that the trump team will but i think the justice department might. they actually were considering an appeal of the entire earlier ruling so given the passage of time, they maria ses that. there is always that possibility that they'll want to eliminate some of this as precedent and go in and clean it out because they have a very strong backing of at least a three-person panel at this point. >> joan dean, john busbik. they heard a key part of the voting rights act.

it was how alabama redrew the congressional act. the lower court said diluted the power of black voters. they effectively invalidated a section of the law in shelby county versus holder, as in eric holder who was attorney general at the time. he's the author of "our unfinished march." attorney general holder, thanks for being with us. i want to get to this key voting rights case in just one second. you heard the panel discuss the request from former president trump to get the supreme court involved in this classified documents case. any reaction to that? >> yeah. i think it's really just a delay and distract move as was indicated. it's in the a particularly substantive appeal and i actually think, you know, as we're focusing on this, we're talking about this, i actually think if the justice department had its druthers -- i understand the strategic decision they

made. the notion of a special master in this case at all is inconsistent with these things. and so i expect the supreme court will give this short shrift and the delay will have occurred, the distraction will have occurred and the justice department will get back to doing the very vital investigation they need to do to do a damage assessment to see what harm has occurred to the intelligence capabilities of the united states. >> let's talk about what was argued before the supreme court today. merrill v melligan. talk about what's at stake regarding the voting rights act of 1965? >> yeah. this is about a racial gerrymandering case in alabama that violates section 2 of the voting rights act of 1965. about 27% of the people who live in alabama are african american. as you look at the seven-member

delegation that they have that goes to the united states house of representatives and applying the applicable law, you would expect there would be at least two opportunity districts, that is two districts in which african americans would have the opportunity to pick a representative of their choice. the alabama republican legislature drew the lines in such a way that they cracked the african american population and essentially put them in only one district and, therefore, they only have about 14% of the representation that they are entitled to in alabama. so the supreme court has to decide whether or not the lower court, which said that what the alabama legislature did was in violation of the voting rights act, the supreme court has to decide whether or not that lower court was, in fact, correct. >> the case was argued by alabama solicitor general. what is alabama asking the high court for? do you think they're going to get what they want? >> it's not totally clear to me what they're asking for. i suppose what they're trying to do is get the voting rights act

interpreted in such a way that what they did, which is inconsistent with long standing precedent, what they did is somehow not violative of the -- >> yeah, i'm afraid we've lost the connection with former attorney general eric holder. we'll continue to try to get in touch with him. we'll try to get -- refreshing with him right now and we'll try to get him back. we're talking about a case that was argued before -- we're told can't get him back. take a short break. more news ahead. n the world are you doing? i'm in the metaverse, bundling my home and auto insurance.. save up to 25% when you bundle home and a auto with allstate. it■s hard eating healthy. unless you happen to be a dog.

use weapons. to call what happened on january 6th an earned insurrection is not accurate. >> his latest remarks to the rotary club in milwaukee are not sush surprising. he called some of the people marching some of the people, quote, people that love this country, truly respect law enforcement and never would do anything to break the law. speaking to fox he said, quote, the fact of the matter, even calling it insurrection, it wasn't. since then senator johnson has had many opportunities to become better informed. hundreds of people have been charged including five on trial. a texas man sentenced this summer for among other charges illegally carrying a firearm to the capitol or christopher alberts arrested while fleeing the capitol with a loaded pistol or mark ibrihim or perhaps he might have tuned in to the

news come in the wake of a daily beast story. the website reports walker paid for an unnamed woman to have an abortion in 2009 writing a personal check for $700 and reportedly sending a get well card. >> i never asked anyone to get an abortion. i never paid for an abortion. and it's a lie. >> reporter: the story doesn't include a photo of the check. cnn has not independently verified the allegations reported by "the daily beast." >> i send money to a lot of people. i give money to people all the time because i'm always helping people. >> reporter: one of walker's sons, christian walker, also taking to twitter calling out his father leveling a series of accusations against him. >> don't lie to me. don't lie on the lives you've destroyed and act like you're some moral family man. >> reporter: when asked for comment on his son's accusations walker's campaign pointed to a

tweet saying i love my son no matter what. on the trail walker has expressed opposition to abortion rights saying last month he'd support a national ban on abortions after 15 weeks. in may he said he would support a ban -- >> would you support more total ban on abortion if you were -- >> i have no exception in my mind. i believe in life. >> reporter: georgia democrats are approaching the allegations with caution. warnock shifting the conversation back to the policy debate over abortion. >> i'll let the pundits decide how they think it will impact the race. but i have been consistent in my view that a patient's room is too narrow and cramped for space for a woman, her doctor and the government. >> reporter: conservative activists in the peach state and the republican establishment sticking by their candidate. the national republican senatorial committee who have pumped millions into the race dismissing the story and the ensuing fallout as nonsense from

lawsuit from walker or the campaign. >> i understand mr. walker's campaign manager spoke to the campaign staff about this today? >> reporter: yeah, this was interesting. it seemed like he had a very sort of serious conversation, candid conversation with aides telling them that he was hopeful that the walker -- more definitely a blow in this race but that the campaign had seen a surge of fundraising in the hours since. also notably he talked about the "access hollywood" and donald trump episode evoking that saying that that surfaced just weeks before the 2016 presidential election but trump still made it to the white house. that is going to be interesting to watch as well. does walker have that same sort of trump effect? in which no matter what sort of scandal trump found himself in, he still inspired a great level of devotion from his supporters. are we going to see conservatives in georgia rally around walker in that same way?

questions about whether anything could be done differently to prevent this widespread misery and loss of life particularly in the hard-hit lee county which includes fort myers. randi kaye has the story. what have you learned about evacuation decisions that were made where you are? >> reporter: well, anderson, tonight information is still pretty thin. there's a lot of finger pointing here in lee county. certainly still so many questions tonight about the timing of the evacuation orders that were issued here. here in florida, anderson, floridians have what locals like to call hurricane amnesia. they forget how bad the storms can be if there hasn't been a storm in a while. that's why it's so key for the local officials to get the evacuation orders right. here is how it played out here in lee county. two days before hurricane ian slammed into florida's west coast, lee county manager roger

degarslais suggested the storm would ultimately shift elsewhere. >> couple days ago fort myers lee county was right in the very center of the cone of uncertainty. that's really the best place to be. >> reporter: he also suggested, albeit gently, that residents could evacuate if they were concerned. >> if you are feeling a little nervous about this storm and the effects, it's okay to go now if you want. >> reporter: the lee county commissioner brian hammond echoed the sentiment. >> monday afternoon we were telling people you do not have to wait for evacuation orders to leave. you can leave now. >> reporter: but can leave and should leave are two very different things. it wasn't until tuesday morning, 7 a.m., that the official mandatory evacuation order for lee county was issued. less than 24 hours before hurricane ian slammed into florida's coast. question is, why did county officials wait? lee county's own emergency management plan says a 10%

chance of a storm surge measuring 6 feet or more would indicate the need for evacuations in the most vulnerable areas. on sunday, two days before lee county took action, the national hurricane center predicted a storm surge as high as 7 feet. shouldn't that have triggered lee county's evacuation plan? here atlee county's emergency operation center we tried to ask county manager roger dejarslais about the order for evacuations. no luck. so we called him. hi, roger. this is randi kaye at cnn. we are at the emergency operations center, want to speak with you, give you an opportunity to speak with us regarding the questions about the time line and the evacuation orders for lee county. if you could give me a call at this number i would appreciate it. thank you. a representative called me back later saying he declined our interview request but he did tell us by phone during another attempt to reach him that he supports all the decisions that were made. we also tried to connect here

with stacie alosio, the emergency management coordinator. she didn't return our call. >> hi, this is stacy. sorry i missed your call. i'll call you back. >> reporter: and later declined to speak with cnn. officials say ultimately it's up to the residents. >> certain percentage people will not heed the warnings regardless. >> we cannot force them to leave their homes. >> reporter: residents cnn spoke with sounded mixed about the timing of evacuation orders. >> i think this came up hot on everyone and i don't think anyone was prepared for anything. >> even though there were warnings and ample warnings i feel, people didn't want to leave. this is their home. >> are there any plans for review at the state level of how the evacuation orders were handled? >> well, anderson, the governor here, ron desantis and lee county officials have defended their decision thus far but the

governor has said they will review everything about this storm including the timing of the lee county evacuations. florida senator rick scott said they always reviewed the storm procedures when he was governor here. he expects they'll do the same. a full assessment and see if the proper procedures were followed. anderson, it's also worth noting the shelters weren't open until 9 a.m. on tuesday morning after that evacuation order was put in place. even if people chose to evacuate early, they didn't have a shelter to go to. sounds like a review is a good idea before the next storm hits. >> i understand residents of sanibel island will be allowed to go back to the island for the first time tomorrow. >> reporter: they are. they can go back as early as 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. the residents for the first time. we're expecting this will be a very emotional visit for a lot of these people. they have no idea in many cases, most cases what their homes look like. what might have survived there,

if they're on the ground, still standing. the main thoroughfares and causeway to that island is gone as a result of the storm. the only way they can get there is a boat. in some ways the coast guard is shuttling people. they're hiring private captains. we spoke to several tonight who are taking residents over. we do expect it will be very emotional for a lot of these homeowners to see what happened to their home and their island. >> randi kaye, thank you very much. cnn's john king talks to us about a vote and how their votes may help determine election night in the state that could also determine who controls the senate. ♪ my relationship with my credit cards wasn't good. i got into debt in college and, no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere.

this is only a person of interest. they have not seen him committing any crimes on camera. they're hoping the public can help solve the case. more from cnn's reporter. >> reporter: take a close look. this is the man police in california say could be linked to what some fear is a serial killer saying it's unclear whether it's a possible witness or suspect. five murders in stockton, all shootings taking place between july 8th and september 27th in similar areas according to police. now police say they have ballistic and video evidence that links the stockton homicides to two early morning shootings in april of last year. >> we don't know what the motive is. the person is on a mission. >> reporter: in the earlier shootings one man died in oakland about an hour nava way from stockton by car. then another victim a 46-year-old woman shot in stockton. she survived and gave police details about her assailant. >> she described that person between 5'10" and 6 foot wearing all dark clothing, wearing a

darko individual style mask that was concealing his face. >> reporter: police say analysis of the weapon used was key m their investigation. >> as far as interconnecting these cases, we've done that through ballistics. we have ballistic evidence that the link in . tom o'connor is a retired senior fbi agent to worked the 2002 d.c. manhunt investigation. he says analysis can give a break. >> if there is a bullet fact or a bullet contained within a victim or recovered in the area of the shooting, that can give a class information. there's also specifics that can be gained by laboratories in looking at the different markings on that bullet itself to say this came from the exact same gun. >> reporter: as the manhunt continues, a california town now living with grief and fear. josh campbell, cnn, los angeles. joining us for more, cnn

chief law enforcement analyst john miller, the new york police department's deputy commissioner for counterterrorism. what do you make of this new video that stockton police released. they say it's a person of interest. the guy seems to have a distinctive swaugger to his wal. >> you see the back of him, not the front, but they also realized that, you know, the still picture they have didn't have that gait. somebody who knows somebody will say i know that outfit, i know those boots, i know that walk. that's that guy. so they're trying to expand their reach. >> they say they've linked these cases through ballistics. the police officer said that this person is on a mission. what does that mean? >> i think when you look at the offender characteristics, there's no indication he knows these victims, there's evidence that he doesn't. this is an extension of what they call instrumental violence.

there's no guilty or remorse. the people are just objects in his killing spree because he's after a larger goal. in this case, the goal is probably not a specific thing. it is to feed his feeling of power, this god-like power that i can stand over these people, take them by surprise, and eliminate their lives. the real question is, where did he disappear to for a year after he started with those first two shootings? that's when police are going to be looking for, who went to jail during this period, who may have been somewhere else, who left the scene. >> they've done that in other cases with people where there's a big lapse between murders and turns out it aligns with somebody being in prison or sent away on a job or something. >> that's right. when you see the pace here, which starts, you know, kind of in june and then july and right up through september 29th, he's

got a real taste for this. he's out there. he's probably out there way more than we think. i don't think that with the pattern like this he goes out to kill on those nights that he kills. he's probably stalking and that hunting behavior is what the profilers call it, and only hitting with the circumstances are just right. and that means that person is at the wrong place at the wrong time. >> the fact that somebody got away, survived, and was able to talk to police, that's obviously a huge help. >> that's a big deal. now, she tells us important things. he came into her tent, you know, to shoot her while she was resting her sleeping. she confronted him and he did shoot her, but he was wearing a hood and a mask covering his face. it probably means if she saw him, she couldn't identify him again, but it gives us some of those behavioral characteristics. it further implies that he is either attempting to kill

homeless people or people that he sees on the street in the pre-dawn hours that he believes may be homeless people. >> where do police go from here? releasing this surveillance, is that a sign of desperation? is it just one tool in their arsenal of trying to get information? >> it's a good idea. where police go from here is our suspect has been very cagey about striking in areas where there is almost no video surveillance. the piece they have doesn't give them much, but it gives them something. i think you'll see them expanding that video canvass outward to see what is still retained that might still be available, especially from the latest shootings. and i think you're going to hear from them more often saying to the public, somebody knows this person, somebody is with somebody that they think is that guy in that video, or who's been acting strangely, or who acted strangely after, you know, each

one of the killings, whose behavior changed. there's somebody out there who's probably looking at somebody right now saying i really think i should pick up the phone. >> john miller, appreciate it. thank you. up next, remembering country music legend, legendary artist loretta lynn. dad. what's a b? it's a cross between a bear and a sass... it's made up. he's usually sleeping. he'll never sleep agaiain. ♪
