good evening, the one of era in washington with her first with a new one might look like the first part at the end of an era defined when the most consequential leaders in the history of what congress. few speakers of the house were is good at their job as nancy pelosi. and none can make the history that she made 15 years ago when she became the first woman to hold the gavel. today, after two terms as speaker, during which even her opponents acknowledge her accomplishments, getting major legislation passed, republican set to control congress she turned the page in close the book. >> scripture teaches us that for everything there is a season. a time for every purpose under heaven. my friends, no matter what title my colleagues have

bestowed upon me, speaker, leader, whip. there is no greater official honor for me then to stand on this floor and to speak for the people of san francisco. this i will continue to do as a member of the house, speaking for the people of san francisco, serving the great state of california and defending our constitution. and with great confidence in our caucus, i will not seek reelection to democratic leadership in the next congress. >> congressman -- james clyburn also announced their departure from leadership with new york's hakeem -- seen as policed speaker pelosi's to lead a democratic minority along -- with and the other top spots. on the republican side, minority leader kevin mccarthy will become speaker getting opposition from his party's white right-wing. >> what are the chances mccarthy's speaker? >> we don't have the votes.

>> are you absolutely i know on january 3rd for kevin mccarthy to be speaker? >> he doesn't have the votes. >> would he have your vote? >> the republican speaker is john boehner, and paul ryan they have fight with the far-right this kind of dissension could be a sign of things to come. one thing at least a certain's house republicans said so earlier today, they are committed to wide-ranging investigations of the biden ministration, cabinet members, the justice department and the president's son hunter and the president himself. >> we are focused on, you saw a report, i hope you didn't you take time to read it, we are focused on how political our justice department has become. it's not a question of if we are political, if they are. they are making decisions on a political basis, we are gonna look at all that. >> the more you look into biden, the more bad things pop up. one thing i learned from talking to a lot of you is that a lot of people don't realize the evidence that's already out

there. pertaining to hunter biden. i don't think anybody realizes that joe biden is in fact involved in a lot of these. he was in fact involved. the goal from this press conference is to show you number one, this is an investigation of joe biden. >> republicans also campaign this year on inflation, gas prices, crime in the border. a number in the months ahead. there's a lot to get to in this hour, we'll check in with cnn's manu raju on capitol hill. manu? >> hey, anderson. this announcement by the speaker was widely anticipated by democrats and republicans. even though she had kept her cards close to her vest, not saying exactly what she would do, this was something that she had promised several years ago the end of 2022 would be her last time to talk to the democratic conference congress. she needed the votes to secure the speakership. she never formally shut the door, which is why today's

announcement led to some drama and some anticipation in this long awaited move, setting up the leadership succession behind her. so, democrats today were reacting to her historic tenure across the congress, but also pushing through legislation of the affordable care act going toe to toe with george w. bush and the iraq war, pushing through to impeachment of donald trump, dealing with the surviving the january six insurrection and the attack on her office. but there's also a sense, anderson, that amongst some democrats that there is some anticipation and hope that there would be a generational change, and essentially, this is the time for her, the right time for her to step aside. there's a significant amount of anxious among democrats eager for the torch to be passed, so, happy that she had made the decision at the right time, republicans on their side satisfaction that she is waving, she is someone they had campaigned against for years and years, and someone they had vilified among the campaign trail as well. in the house chamber when she made her announcement, it was

mostly democrats in the room, some republicans, one republican who is not there, anderson, kevin mccarthy. the man who wants to be the next speaker. >> what is the political landscape on capitol hill look like for this new generation of house democratic leaders? >> right now, it appears that the trio that is likely to succeed the trio that is outgoing, hakeem jeffries catherine clark and pete aguilar is the 1 to 3 on the democratic caucus, for a smooth transition at the moment to become -- a democratic hierarchy unless something changes in the next week and a half, but after that, they will be the minority party in the house. they will be going up against a narrow house republican majority, and anderson, we are heading into a period of intense legislative gridlock. it is going to be very difficult to see any major accomplishments, any legislation really get through, given the fact that the makeup of the narrow democratic senate and a democrat in the white house is significantly different priorities on both sides of the aisle. but there are some major issues that they will have to deal

with in the new congress, they'll have to raise the national debt limit to avoid a debt default, they also have to fund the government so that it is always a tricky issue, and already, we're hearing talks among some republicans using those issues as leverage. trying to force their way to get issues through on immigration, other issues in the like. and expect major battles to happen and potential significant gridlock as both sides are preparing for the next two years here. >> manu raju, appreciate, it thank you. to california house members, congresswoman anna eschew who presided over speaker pelosi's remarks today, and congressman eric swalwell. i appreciate you joining us. speaker pelosi and you have been very close friends for decades, you're the godmother of two of her grandchildren, you officiated her daughter's wedding, he just talk about the significance of this moment as both her friend and colleague? >> well, today was a day of appreciating the history that nancy pelosi has made. she has an unmatched record of

leading the house of representatives as beaker. no speaker in the history of the country amassed the record that she has done. so, the pride of our caucus in our speaker the achievements, the history that she has made. the role model that she is. for so many girls and young women. and the role that she has played on the international stage. were leaders of other nations have a deep, deep respect for her her intellect and her leadership. so, it's a bittersweet day. we celebrate her and all of the accomplishments to make our hard to see her step down, but we know what she said, there's a season for everything. and so a new team will come in and we will welcome them and

work with them. i don't think we'll ever see the likes of her again. >> congressman swalwell, you brought your daughter to listen to the speech today, i understand you also brought her to speaker pelosi is getting sworn in as speaker for the second time she was only two months old. what do you think speaker pelosi represents for a little girl like her daughter? what did you want your daughter to be there? >> i wanted my daughter to be there for when speaker pelosi was sworn in for the second time and also today, for her farewell remarks. because she represents my daughter, all of the little girls who have many more opportunities in the future because of people like nancy pelosi who served. and paved a way for her. anna and speaker pelosi have gone to great lengths also to enable the next generation, and i think the fact that there are three younger leaders who are ready to step up right now is a testament to nancy pelosi. because i've benefited from her

mentorship and those three leaders, the fact that they're probably going to be uncontested, certainly benefited from her mentorship. yes, she was fierce in the way she let our caucus, historic in the legislation she passed, but i think an unwritten story is how many young leaders that she's reached out to and mentored along the way, and that's going to bear a lot of fruit in the future for our country. >> congresswoman, speaker pelosi spoke today about how much has changed over the decades that she served in terms of women in leadership roles, as one play part of that. >> when i came to the congress in 1987, there were 12 democratic women. now, there are over 90. and we want more. when i entered leadership in 2002, there were eight of us. today, there are 17 membership of the leadership. when i first came to the floor at six years old, never would

have thought that out someday i would go from homemaker to house speaker. >> congresswoman, what do you think the next two years looks like for congresswoman nancy pelosi? not being in a leadership position? yet with all the wisdom that she has accrued, what is her role going to be? >> well, i think i would rather concentrate being a helper to our new leadership. she certainly will. and it would be very smart of them to seek her wisdom and some good dinners together and pick her brain. i think it's up to the rest of us to help this team not only lead but to grow. these are serious jobs. these are serious jobs. the words that we write and

pass into law walk into people's lives. so, this is not just some inner circle whose members of the club are -- this is the congress of the united states. and if there's anything that nancy taught us, kept saying over and over again, is we are here to protect and defend and in a democracy, we are called to produce for the people of the country to make their lives better. this is a serious job and i think we owe it to the new leadership that's coming in to give our best shoulder to shoulder, and i think for a lot of our new members, they've never served in the minority. and i have. they haven't. this is going to be a real lesson for them. >> congressman swalwell, do you think that -- what do you think the next two years look like for democrats in congress?

>> -- >> with nancy pelosi not in a leadership position but a narrow majority? >> -- we've never been more united, anderson, and the voters rejected the vile, violent rhetoric of extreme republican party. you're gonna see us ready to deliver votes and keep the government open. deliver votes that extend the debt ceiling and continue to fund the effort in ukraine. 90 pelosi has led three or four vote margin and he never would've known it was sometimes -- kevin mccarthy never demonstrated the ability to do that, he's gonna need a unified democratic caucus to deliver on those priorities for the american people. and will stand ready to do that. >> congressman swalwell, -- appreciate it. the investigations the promises are promising but specifically how their investigation square with facts. later we get more evidence that

-- the states top agency in texas was informed the children of robb elementary were trapped with a still active shooter, yet did not follow their own training and take immediate action to save those kids. new information tonight ahead. new information tonight ahead. e love event, subaru retailers have supported over seventeen hundred hometown charities.

jordan made a lot of comments. the questions were in facts -- cnn's evan perez joins us now and chief national affairs analyst casey had. evan, you heard with the house republican said, that they found on hunter biden's laptop. he reported on hunter -- extensively. when it comes to these allegations of influence peddling, fraud and china and russia. what are the facts? >> the facts are, anderson, that hunter biden did try to set up a deal with a chinese energy country. and that investment plan ended up not happening. but there's a lot of questions that the republicans are raising. they say they want bank records to look at where that money went. they want to see who may have benefited from those investments. and whether anybody actually got swindled. which is an allegation that

they're making. and most of all, they want to know whether that compromise, the current president, president biden, and the relationship with china. there is no evidence that they presented so far that shows any of that. whether that's affected policy or anything like that. but the fact that hunter biden did try and set up the business in china. and we don't know, there's a lot of it we don't know. we know the justice department has investigated some of this. including. whether hunter biden violated new tax laws, violated new lobby laws. there's a lot of questions that remain unanswered. so far, the republicans haven't presented any evidence to support the idea that there was anything, that affected public policy. certainly, from the current administration. >> casey, how eager are moderate republicans, ones that just got elected, promising solutions on the economy, to crime, to have these investigations? >> it's a really interesting

question, anderson, those moderate members if they are able to find a way to stick together. as they get started in congress, could potentially have a really influential voice within the republican conference. i think the answer is, for that, the incentives are to try and demonstrate that they are doing things for the country. the central argument or a pocket that republicans are making in the midterm elections, is they do a better job of handling policy issues that they think americans care about, crime, immigration, things along those lines. quite frankly, these investigations don't actually accomplish that goal. i think political culture has changed over the course of the last decade in a dramatic way under donald trump. and there does seem to be a higher tolerance for some of these exercises that are seen as political. to become extraordinarily tribal, from a

political perspective. i do think to evidence point, what i certainly looking forward to learning from his and our other colleagues reporting. it is whether republicans can prove that last assertion. that congressman comer made in the press conference. where he said, joe biden knew about it and had influence over it. because that's the piece that extensive reporting has not been able to show. it's obviously true that hunter biden has come in for some serious scrutiny over his actions. what are they connect that back to the president, is a big question both in our reporting perspective but from a political perspective. they do run the risk of seeming to go too far, attacking the family, the biden folks have been, they've noted that there's been a lot of criticism of hunters drug use, people have tried to tie that into here. there is americans out there that have somebody in the family that's gone through something similar. to what the president as a father has gone through with his son, in terms of those issues. >> evan, you reported in october. that federal

prosecutors believe they could charge hunter biden with tax vibes, making false statements. but they had not made a decision to proceed. are they any closer to this decision. do we know how we let this play them into the potential hearings? >> one of the things that the republicans are hoping for, is, that they will find more information from -- the treasury department. that could at least shed more light into whatever the fbi has been looking at. and if the fbi ends up, justice department ends up not charging anything related to some of these business activities, then they will obviously make that a political issue for the sitting president. should he run in 2024. here is the deal, right now anderson, this is an investigation certainly the charges, potential charges, are centering around his tax issues. perhaps something related to buying a gun when he was a drug addict, when he

should not have been able to buy a gun. those are the things that have been the focus. there's been a debate inside the justice department. certainly, i think, some investigators and at least some prosecutors believe that there is enough evidence to charge. the final decision lies with david weiss, who is a trump appointed u.s. attorney, who's kept on to oversee the investigation, we believe that decision could come at anytime, obviously, given the fact that the elections are passed. we are now waiting for that. certainly, anderson, if you see that these charges don't have anything to do with this. you can expect the republicans are gonna try to pursue the investigation. >> evan perez, casey hunt, we thank you so much. coming up, -- as polarized as a one down on the ongoing investigation that face him. more testimony

civil case focused on allegations of tax fraud. it's also highlights a significant problem for the former president and his new bid for presidency. namely the sheer number of investigations circling him. there's been reports of former president may hope his candidacy helps money some of these investigations. cnn senior legal affairs paul reed, has a legal rundown. >> i'm a victim, i'll tell you. i am a victim. >> as he announced another right for the white house, former president trump said he feels grieved by the multiple criminal investigations he faces including in georgia. or former white house aide cassidy hutchinson testified wednesday for a special grand jury hearing evidence about efforts by trump and his associates to overturn the state's 2020 election results. >> we want all votes counted by election night.

>> two of trump's closest allies, senator lindsey graham and former trump national security adviser mike flynn, are also expected to testify soon. >> i don't see anything to prosecute him. over >> on tuesday ryan camp appeared. >> the truth is, ensuring the integrity of the ballot box isn't partisan. it's about protecting the very foundation of who we are. >> camps a central witness to the criminal investigation, being run by fulton county attorney bonnie willis. >> we will look at anything until that investigation is complete. >> the georgia probe was prompted by an hour-long january 2021 call from trump, pressing georgia fischel to find the votes to help and when. >> i just want to find 11,780 votes. which is one more than we have. >> in new york, the trump organization is on trial for a glaad tax fraud. longtime

executive adam lysol bert taking the stand this week. as the prosecution star witness, while trump has not been charged in the case it hit close to home. as dazzle 250 million dollar civil lawsuit from the new york attorney general. alleging financial fraud by trump, his company, and some of his children. in washington, trump faces two parallel investigations into his role on the attack of the capital. the house committee investigating january six subpoenaed him in october for documents and testimony. >> we're obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion. >> trump's not expected to appear before lawmakers, he sued to block the subpoena and the committee's work wraps up at the end of the year. but the justice department is also investigating his role in the attack. a grand jury in d.c.

has heard from witnesses including trump's former white house counsel. and the former presidents legal exposure expanded august, when the fbi searched his mar-a-lago residents and recover documents including some marked classified, that were taken from the white house. >> they should give me a media back everything they've taken. because it's mine, it's. mine >> prosecutors are looking at whether trump mishandle national secrets, or try to obstruct the investigation. attorney general merrick garland has insisted, his investigations are being conducted free from political influence. >> no person is above the law in this country. nothing stops us. >> even the former president? >> i'm gonna say that again. no person is above the law in this country. i can't say anything more, clearly on that. >> sources tell cnn that the justice officials have considered appointing a special counsel to handle the investigations. now that trump has declared the attorney general will need to decide if that is a move he indeed wants to do. but under the regulation,

a special counsel would still report to the attorney general. so, it's unclear if the special counsel would really insulate the justice department from political blowback. anderson. >> thank you so much. now from jim schwartz, coauthor of -- the art of the deal. great to see you. you haven't spoken much of the former president in a long time. why now? >> i guess because, the election went so positively. i wanted to be part of the democrats victory in a way. it has been so enjoyable the last week. to watch the republicans fumble and bumble, to try and deal with what, with such an overwhelming an unexpected laws. >> i want to play a bit of this announcement from the closing. which i didn't see. because we didn't take, once we announced we stop covering. it but he uses the word choice here, let's listen. >> i'm asking for your support,

i'm asking for your friendship. and your prayers. at this very incredible but dangerous journey if our movement remains united in confidante, we will shatter the forces of tyranny. will unleash the glories of liberty for ourselves, for our children. and for generations yet to come. america's golden age is just ahead. and to gather, we will make america powerful again. >> yeah, what do you make of his announcement? >> it seem like he was half asleep. and i think the reason was because he's working off of a teleprompter. and he reads poorly, he loses the interest of, i think what happened was is he got caught in a super. and felt like he was barely there.

>> there has been much debate about how much is he running in order to be in the game again. and relevant. and have remained a central power, to be able to raise money and how much of it is that he wants to be president, how much is fear of the investigation, thinking this helps him stop them, or muddy the waters, or fight back. >> well all of those are factors. but the number one factor for donald >> trump is if i'm not a winner, i'm a loser. and all i have done in the last several years is lose. i barely believe i exist when i lose. so, i think it's a grass back at identity on his part. >> he talks a lot about people who are nobodies. that seems to him to be, the worst possible thing. >> it reminds me of a conversation we had back in

2016. about projection. so, when he calls people nobodies, he's projecting onto them what he feels about himself. and there is nothing deeper, more deeply true about donald trump and he feels that he's worthless. he doesn't even necessarily have a consciousness about it. but he has an internal defense esteemed that he is raging, fighting against that awful feeling, all the time. >> did you see that when you are working with him on the bulk, did you see? because to ghost write a book with, you need to examine the person, get inside them? >> yeah, i remember thinking, the phrase black -- was very alive in the period i was writing that book in my head. that he was somebody that you put stuff into. and it pumped up very briefly. but there was a leak down there. the air would leak out of the balloon

so he'd have to fill it up again. and he spent 75 years doing that. or close to a. >> do you think he can stop the grievances and the conspiracy theories, and the looking backward? that he can barely do it in this announcement, the teleprompter, do you think you can do it on a campaign, it seems impossible? >> that's a rhetorical question. you know the answer. there's not one chance and how that this man could stop being aggrieved and feeling like a victim. that's the one thing about him that he had said about himself over and over again. that it's true. he does genuinely feel like a victim. it's pathetic, it's ridiculous, but it's accurate that's who he thinks -- >> it surprises me that he says that out loud, you'd think he would not want to be perceived as a victim, but he embraces it. >> it's an instinct to blame, he needs to do that to keep

himself afloat. >> tony schwartz, great to talk to you, we appreciated. coming up, cnn obtained new audio from the day of the robb elementary school mass shooting. the top law enforcement agency in texas, new children were alive and trapped in the room with the shooter but did not immediately act. this is new information coming out, state and. coming out, state and. answer a few questions and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds we'll come to you pay you on the spot then pick up your car that's it at carvana

>> cnn has obtained more new lot of the day of the rob alex elementary school mass shooting in texas. 21 people as you know warmer that day, looting 19 children. like the audiotape we presented, one of the law enforcement agencies that responded that day, in this case the test -- was informed that the children were alive and trapped with the shooter. that would contradict previous statements from the agency about not knowing that the children were trapped inside with them. it also means the top law enforcement agency in texas did not respond in accordance with active shooter protocols. cnn senior crime and correspondent shimon porcupine as has more on story. -- unsettling -- >> robb elementary, my god.

>> there's a school shooting. >> new audio obtained by cnn makes clear, the top law enforcement agency in the state of texas. told of the horrors inside robb elementary on may 24th, as it was happening. despite senior texas department of public safety, or dps, officers claiming they didn't know children were trapped with a gunmen. the uvalde dispatcher relay the critical information to someone inside the process. dps. it should have supercharged the dps response at the scene, to take action. that call came out about 12:18 pm, when a uvalde police dispatcher here is from someone who identifies herself as being with dps, at the agency's headquarters in austin. >> hi, this -- is with dps and austin. we have -- some active shooter. trying to find out where to go and if we have any

suspect information. >> but there are also dps officers on the scene in uvalde. >> the dps employee says that she's trying to help coordinate more tactical teams to the school. she identifies herself only by her first name. and cnn has decided not to reveal that. at the same time, ten-year-old chloe torres, a fourth grader trapped inside the room, is on the phone with another 9-1-1 dispatcher. we >> -- 12, 12. yes ma'am. please hurry, there is a lot of dead bodies. >> the details of chloe's cry for help from inside the room have already been communicated to uvalde acting chief. now they're being relate to the dps employee. >> we have several students. >> are you kidding me? >> i am not. >> oh my god -- >> we don't know the collars

rank inside the dps or where all she may have communicated the information within our agency. dps has not responded to cnn's questions about the call, and what happened after it was made. >> is it in the classroom? >> a barricaded from? where >> all the classrooms. we have an active shooter. >> the active shooter protocol have been followed the responding officers should have used any means necessary to breach the door and killed a shooter. some officers from the texas dps were told to stay out of the hallway. and remain on the perimeter of the scene. as more and more tactical resources arrived, in critical time, to save lives went by. even the texas ranger closest to the classroom was not clued in. major christopher ryan candle had been suspended from failing to organize the response that day. he can be seen offering to negotiate with the shooter. a clear contradiction of active shooter protocol. and in an interview

with investigators obtained by cnn, joe betancourt, with the texas highway patrol, who can be heard and body cam footage trying to delay a team from entering the classroom. because he thought a better swat team was on its way. he said he didn't know about the children in the room. >> -- the only thing was reported is there was barricaded subjects. there was no shots that have been fired. we didn't know that there was any children, or anyone that was injured in the building like we do now. at that time, it was a person in a room. >> it's a communications breakdown that potentially delayed urgent action from dps. and left victims alone with an active shooter for even longer. three of the victims who were shot survived for 77 minutes before help arrived. but later, they died from their wounds. speaking to cnn this week, the mayor of uvalde renewed's accusations over a cover-up.

inside the department of public safety over the failed response. something the agency has repeatedly denied. >> there's a lot of officers there, high-ranking officers. and it needs to come out. same thing with them. they need to be accountable just like we just like we are. you are going to have to take your -- and if you had people on the scene, maybe their career people, or they're part of the good old boys system. i do not know. but you're gonna have to take your lumps like everybody else. >> shimon porcupine is joins us now -- that we just heard, what happened after? >> right, there is an internal investigation that has been going on. -- also an inspector general and several dps officers. but we don't really know in terms of the specific situation whether or not anyone is investigating. i'm not sure that they even understand the significance of this.

this is something that we came across from our sources. certainly, anderson, it stood out to. us and gave us indication that someone at the department of public safety was given this information. what did they do with this information, it's still unclear. >> the acting police chief in uvalde resigned today, in wake if you reporting. on monday. you've been talking to people in uvalde -- what's the reaction been like? >>, so certainly for family members they feel they're getting some accountability, the problem is, anderson, it's not coming -- it should've come sooner for them, they feel. all this information as it has to do with this lieutenant, is something that they should've known all this information sooner. the mayor even says. that therefore, he could've taken action sooner, anderson. >> has he resigned from the police force and is he also elected as a commissioner, is he still a county commissioner? >> right now so far he's -- seoul county commissioner.

he was elected just last week. it's a bit more complicated to have him removed. it's gonna require some steps, it's not clear if he's gonna resign from that seat. what i can tell you, anderson, family members told me that they intend to be at those meetings at the county commissioner when they have those meetings. they intend to be there in protest, and try to get them to resign. >> really, extraordinary reporting, shimon prokupecz. and staying on the story. thank you so much. coming up, new information tonight on the mysterious killings of four university of i don't, students and what a coroner's saying now about their death. there's still a lot we don't know, but information has been coming in. plus, new video showing two of the victims at a food truck in the early morning hours, before they were attacked offering somewhat of a timeline of the final hours. we have a report from idaho, coming up next. >> tonight, and i know -- for
