5:00 pm
>> the move cost the club $73 million, making him the most expensive player to date for the united states. >> where do you think the pressure is coming from? >> everyone. >> pulisic has been the main pitch man for team usa for the world cup and he's delivered under the pressure. will he play on saturday? according to a post from his hospital bed, he says he'll be ready. as he greeted his teammates yesterday after the win, it's hard to imagine him missing this moment. >> knowing a lot of these guys for so long and being able to do it with them by my side is definitely special. and hopefully a moment we're going to cherish for the rest of our lives. >> thanks for joining us.
5:01 pm
"a.c. 360 starts now." >> students are afraid that a killer may be among them. john berman here for anderson. the vigil being held in idaho for students murdered two weeks ago. similar vigils are about to get under way. this is happening, as we said, in the climate of fear as well as remember branrance because t killer remains at large. vero veronica, how is the university remembering the students? >> reporter: many people are still streaming in as this vigil is just getting under way. they are making sure as this is the first time that students, community members and faculty have been able to come together that they can honor those
5:02 pm
victims and also be here for each other. as you mentioned, this is the main campus here and the main vigil but there are six other vigils happening across the state of idaho and one in seattle. we know the family members of at least one of the victims is here tonight and we spoke to students about why they wanted to come back despite the fact that there's so many people still afraid and they say they just want to be here together as they grapple with so many different emotions. john? >> obviously the killer is still on the loose. no suspects have been named. what are police doing to help people feel safe and i feel safe right now at this vigil? >> reporter: right, well, here at this vigil there is increased security. there is metal detectors and a clear ban policy and they have ramped up security by bringing in officers in addition to the 14 patrol officers from idaho
5:03 pm
police that have come to moscow just this week, four dedicated to the campus. and there is increased security through the police department. many people here are trying to make the students feel safe but one student said it's actually quite unsettling. >> it's been really weird, especially because seeing all the cops everywhere and it's the kind of thing where it's like, oh, there was never a murder here before. i thought it would feel safer but it doesn't because it just reminds me that there's still someone out there. >> reporter: that is certainly on the forefront of everyone's minds. tonight they are setting that aside, many here to honor the four victims. >> veronica, thank you for being
5:04 pm
there. we're going to return to this story shortly. right now two big developments out of washington. the january 6 committee with their final hearing today. and the how ways and means committee finally has access to six years of donald trump's tax returns. cnn's jessica schneider joins us with the latest on both. what do we know will happen with the january 6th committee this friday? >> reporter: time is ticking. they have just weeks left before republicans take over. they are looking to issue their final report. that will likely be mid december. they still have pressing issues. they'll talk about the possibility of making criminal referrals. that's something that members have long said is likely. of course a recommendation from the committee, it's not something that d.o.j. actually has to follow. despite that, this has been a
5:05 pm
big issue for the committee. members have been quite vocal that they blefelieve that trumpd some of his closest allies did commit conspiracy when they tried to commit the peaceful transfer of power on january 6th, however, members are split about whether to make that referral. also, the committee has to decide how to handle those five republicans who refused to supply with subpoenas from the committee over the last several months. a lot of issues still outstanding as the committee nears the end and kevin mccarthy sent a letter telling people retain all records and the republicans will probably -- >> the house ways and means has
5:06 pm
access to six years of donald trump's tax returns. what are they dgoing to do with them? >> that could be a main point in a meeting they're going to have with legal counsel tomorrow. the big thing is it's still unclear if the public will actually get to see these six years of trump's tax returns. we know that the public and all of us won't get immediate access to them. it's possible they could be released sometime down the road. of course, that could impact trump's presidential bid that he's announced for 2024. trump has already for years refused to release his tax returns throughout his campaigns and throughout his presidency. woe did get a glimpse back in 2020. they found that trump paid no federal income taxes at all beginning in 2000. we could see potentially in the future depending what the house ways and means decides to do with these returns, what else might be buried in six years of
5:07 pm
trump's tax returns. but it's not anything the public is going to see any time soon and this committee has weeks before they wrap up to decide how to handle anything as well. >> we're going to talk about these one at a time starting first with the january 6th committee and possible criminal referrals. eli hoenig was a deputy attorney general. if the january 6th committee does go down the path of issuing criminal referrals, how much weight does that have with justice department? what does the justice department care here? >> the answer is zero. it's simply about political symbolism. it's a request from congress say, hey, d.o.j., we'd like to you investigate this. you know how we know that? they're already investigating
5:08 pm
donald trump. merrick garland has made that public. if i'm sitting at d.o.j., my position toward congress would be when it comes to a referral is thanks but no thanks. the last thing you want is the appearance from a democratic panel. that will make it look political. better for d.o.j. to have no referral at all. >> you have an interesting perspective here because you've worked boatth on the hill and a d.o.j. what's the risk-reward for this committee to recommend the referral? >> picking up on elie thought, if you are a member of congress, you must commit yourself to the first co-equal branch of
5:09 pm
government and has the power to cut off the salaries of the exec executive branch. that is their right and duty. it's not going to drive a prosecution, no one will go to jail because of something congress says. it's really about how the branches interact with each other. the right thing is for congress to issue criminal referrals. >> we just heard that house republican leader, kevin mccarthy, who may be speaker within a few weeks is about to hold hearings around the security around the capitol on january 6th and that the january 6th committee preserve all records and transcripts. what does that mean? how does that play out? >> this is an example of elections have consequences. republicans soon will have the power to hold hearings. they issued this instruction to the january 6th committee to preserve their records. i don't think they need to be
5:10 pm
told that. of course they're going to preserve their records but we should get used to this. weir we're going to see kevin mccarthy investigate the investigators on the january 6th thing. kevin mccarthy and jim jordan made public statements say attorney general clear your calendar and save your documents or something to that effect. merrick garland doesn't need to be told that either related to the mar-a-lago. we should get used to seeing the republican-controlled house, they can't stop or derail a criminal investigation but they can make life difficult and complicated for merrick garland and the justice department and i look for them to try to do that. >> elliott, how, how in this case particular can the january 6th committee once they take control, if they wanted, how could they try to rewrite the history? >> so a number of things. one, like i said a little bit earlier, they are congress and have a tremendous amount of respect with respect to oversight and making the justice department grind to a halt,
5:11 pm
constantly putting in oversight requests for letters and documents and slowing things down. number two, they have a bully pulpit and at the end of the day what they can do is create a new narrative. now, look, the current january 6th committee by being first and by issuing the report that they will issue in all likelihood by the end of the month will seize the public discussion for quite some time and if they're good at it can shift the public discussion on this. the republicans will have their chance over the course of next year and a lot of power and a lot of microphones and a lot of followers who believe their side of the story as well. so there's right and there's wrong and then there's who's got the microphone and come january 3rd, another group of folks does that. >> my favorite law firm. thank you so much, yes. >> it's a high-end firm, john.
5:12 pm
>> and tax returns. what house democrats could learn from them in the remaining weeks they control the chamber. now with us, the author of "the big cheat." the house committee doesn't have much time to investigate donald trump's taxes if they wanted. they only have control for the next month or so. what are the immediate questions that could be answered by these documents? >> they can tell us definitively whether donald manipulated the value of the assets. when you own a building, you get to write off the costs of it each year and saves you tax dollars. we know that trump manipulated values from four years ago all over the place to deal with loans and insurance documents. so that would be one of the first things to look for. and, second, to look for numbers
5:13 pm
that don't match up. you claim to have x amount of money in the bank in a particular account at the end of entity and donald has 500 t entities and the numbers you have next year don't close out. but they don't have much time to look at that if that's what they want to do. >> so the tax returns in question are primarily from the period when donald trump was president. how does that affect the investigation? >> i'd be much more interested in seeing the tax returns before he became president because there's testimony in the ongoing new york city trial on tax cheating by the trump organization that they cleaned up their behavior once donald trump arrived in the white house. but the issue the committee was concerned about was donald trump's repeated claims that he
5:14 pm
was persecuted by the irs because he's a christian, never mind in a book he called christians fools and schmucks and idiots and is inherently anti-christian. are presidential candidates being treated properly by the irs. that's an issue the republicans might want to get into depending on how facts turn out in the future. not likely but possible since they're always trying to beat up the irs. >> so the house's committee declined to release whether they will see cethese publicly. will any of these see the light of day? >> they are concerned about a section of the tax return that makes tax returns a public record. they used to be public records
5:15 pm
but they aren't now. he's having a meeting with his caucus on the committee and i think one of the things they're certain to discuss is is there a way for them to put this into the congressional record so that it's always there and people on the outside can basically crowd source an audit. >> the former president's legal team has fought for years as has the former president to keep these secret. you've reported on him extensively. why do you think he works so hard to keep these from going public? >> because donald's a tax cheat. i've established in the public record previously he cheated on sales taxes, he cheated on payroll taxes and actually even cheated novice roulette players at one of his casinos and they said the investigation showed very, very calculated income tax cheating by the trump family. it also involved gift tax and estate tax cheating.
5:16 pm
that's who trump is. he's done this his whole life. he's cheated investors and workers and even some gamblers. the tax returns if fully audited are going to show he cheated on his income taxes. >> david k. johnson, thank you for your insight. >> and coming up, the investigative work we are not seeing. cnn's john miller joins us. and a live report from one of the many cities across china where protesters fed up with covid lockdowns have taken to the streets and where there is one sign the government coululde bending on these restrictions. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with realal honeyand elderberry.

5:21 pm
come by. with us is cnn chief law enforcement intelligence analyst john miller, a former nypd deputy of intelligence. where does the investigation stand? if there ia breakthrough, will it be because of forensics or maybe a witness comes through? >> it could be either. we're past the ten-day mark. we're going into the third week where lab results are coming back. we're now really for the first time beyond what was visually available and what the profilers could interpret from what they saw at the crime scene, the crime scene speaking in terms of cr chemistry. you have your four victims, your two survivors and then you have people who are known to be in the apartment, including those who discovered them that day. so all of that dna is known samples. what they're looking for is the unknown sample and what they're
5:22 pm
looking to do is to collect those unknown samples, run them through the systems that are national to see does that hit on someone with a violent felony record that's being kept? at the same time they're running the crime scene through those computers, at vicap and saying is there a crime similar enough that it needs to be compared? >> how likely is it they will able to identify the dna? >> if the dna is on file and the contribution is large enough that it should be, that would happen with great deal of certainty and would happen now. if the unknown contributor is isolated as an unknown contributor but they're not on file because they haven't been

5:25 pm
counseling after her parents were killed, set the house on fire and took off with her, which ended with her fleeing the car and the suspect being shot and killed. the suspect was hired just days before the murder and was a former virginia state trooper. >> we ask the same questions you all asked. how did this person get past a background investigation, past a polygraph investigation? >> reporter: police say he developed an online relationship, posing as a 15-year-old boy. >> he posed as a 15-year-old boy with the plan to kidnap her and kill her family. >> we don't know if it's the first physical encounter they had. it's quite possible it was.

5:32 pm
on the heels of yesterday's rare seditious conspiracy convictions, attorney general merrick garland held a press conference today touting the work of the justice department, investigators and prosecutors. >> as the verdict of this case makes clear, the department will work tirelessly to hold accountable those responsible for crimes related to the attack on our democracy on january 6, 2021. >> five leaders of the oathkeepers were found guilty of crimes related to the capitol attack. two were convicted of the most serious charge yet, seditious conspiracy, conspiring to oppose by force the peaceful transfer of presidential power. despite all this the oath keepers as a group still exists. cnn's sarasid sidner joins us w more. >> that is the big question.
5:33 pm
the name of the group not necessarily one you want to share with anyone but there are members still across this country of the oath keepers. what's their next move? the oath keepers comes from the name of service taken by the military and law enforcement and the message is to keep that oath whether or not you have ever served in either capacity. the extremist group was founded by stewart rhodes, a disbarred yale law graduate and former u.s. army combat trooper. it began in 2009 after president obama took office. rhodes ran the anti-militia group ginning themselves up on the fear that the federal government would take away the right to bear arms. they made themselves visible at large protests like this one in missouri that at times turned
5:34 pm
violent. the oath keepers highly visible and armed to the teeth said they were there to protect businesses. >> we had patrol over here and city officers and they said please don't walk through us, stay on the sidewalk areas. >> reporter: they were also known for the defense of ranchers trying to take over federal land. >> reporter: the oath keepers came armed and ready to take on the government. they were also there on january 6th, unmistakable because they were wearing military combat gear and walking in a stack up the steps of the capitol. many of them went inside. after the january 6th attack where oath keepers were out enforce, rhodes spoke to info wars via phone from jail. >> if you're going to have dictatorships, you're going to
5:35 pm
have dissidence. some of you are going to go to jail. melson m nelson mandela was going to go to jail for life. you have to be willing to take the hit. >> reporter: now that rhodes and others have been charged, they say the oath keepers at its height had up to 40,000 people on its rolls. >> reporter: has this case weak end the group known as oath keepers? >> with oath keepers we are seeing an organization in disarray and nearly decimated on the organizational level. >> reporter: but make no mistake, the extremist threat in the united states remains. >> however, those ideas pe
5:36 pm
perpetrated by people in this organization, those ideas don't just go away with the snap of a finger, even if the structure of the organization is really, you know, falling apart. >> you just spoke with stewart rhodes' lawyers. what did they have to say to you? >> yeah, james lee bright. he talked about some of the things that happened in trial and said he did believe this was a fair trial. that is an important point being that this was watched by a lot of people who are still -- still believe they-- they deny the election was won by joe biden, they thought the judge did a very good job but they are going to appeal. it will be something along the lines that the evidence they wanted to come in that wasn't allowed in. some of the evidence that they didn't want to come in that was allowed in. they are going to be putting
5:37 pm
forth that appeal sometime soon in this case. so a serious fight in court may happen again when it comes to this but the convictions are there for all of the members of the oath keepers and the one associate that was on trial, these five people, they were convicted of several things and acquitted of several other things but all of them face up to 20 years in federal prison for the charges that they were convicted of, john. >> thank you as always for your work on this. >> ahead, developments in china where protesters have been clashing with state police. they are now easing some restrictions in some cities, which is what t they have been fighting for. a rereport from beijing is next. did i tell ya i got my car from carvana? oh! tens of thousands of mud-chugging options.

so people in china rarely rise up, but they are in a big way now all across the country to demonstrate against extremely strict covid lockdowns. you can see protesters in the southern manufacturing hub clashing with riot police. the city has now fully lifted
5:42 pm
lockdowns in four districts and scrapped district-wide tested. shanghai will lift lockdown measures starting tomorrow, which is today there. china's national health commission is calling on local governments to, quote, resolve the reasonable demands of the masses in a timely manner. whether that's a real directive, we don't know. selina wang has more from beijing. >> reporter: anger boils over into violent protests at the world's largest iphone factory. workers stream out of the dorms in central china, protesting unfair treatment, dirty living conditions and chaotic covid rules at the apple supplier. videos obtained by cnn show a group of police in white haz-mat suits beating workers with batons and metal rods. "the police are hitting people," a worker shouts in the video.
5:43 pm
an employee told cnn the scene turned into a river of blood. police hit the workers ruthlessly." earlier squadrons of riot police had rolled in. they're going to start beating us, protesters yelled in fear, facing off rows of law enforcement with riot gear. the protest escalated into the evening, workers tearing down covid barriers using metal beams against police. masses of them hurling metal parts towards law enforcement. even using a covid barrier as a shield against rows of authorities. they worked together to push over a police car, cheering and chanting. since october the foxcon plant has been sealed off from the outside world after a covid outbreak that forced employees to live and work on site. and in what videos obtained by cnn
5:44 pm
show smfilthy conditions and th the exodus, workers walked miles along highways. analysts estimate this plant produces more than half of apple's iphones. so to attract workers, foxcom promised higher pay and bonuses. works are signed up. when they got to the factory, the pay package was worst than what foxcon advertised. they said workers felt cheated and foxcon blamed the difference on a, quote, technical error. soon after, video showed long
5:45 pm
lines of workers boarding busses to leave the factories, their departure possibly putting an end to another violent and dramatic scene, but increasing the pressure on apple. it's just the latest victim of china's zero covid policy. >> wow, what images there specific selena, obviously we're seeing scenes like this across all of china. what's the latest? >> well, john, the sweeping crackdown to smother any other demonstrations appears to be working, but authorities are on high alert. they announced the death of the former communist leader and this could become a new rally point. china has a chance of people taking to the streets to mourn the deaths of previous leaders. on chinese social media, we've seen an outpouring of people grieving and reminiscing about a
5:46 pm
prior era. he's seen as someone who embraced goebbels station. some scholars say he was one of the leaders that wanted to become a world leader, not a communist dictator. he did interviews with american media, including cnn and was known as a colorful personality. he'd recite the "gettysburg address" and attend the opera. now xi jinping seen as a very different leader. >> thank you very much for that. >> and shifting gears here. huge expectations for the national world cup game. this time it is the knockout round and the player who put us there is christian pulisic who
5:47 pm
scored the only goal of the game but that left him with an injury that knocked him out at halftime and sent him to the hospital. so pretty much the whole country is wondering how he's doing and if he'll play this time. so, don, it's like the pelvis contusion felt around the world or at least america. help us. give us an update. how is he doing and will he play on saturday? >> reporter: well, we don't know for sure, john, but the mood music seems to be that maybe he will, hopefully he will. certainly the team and the country wants him to play. we've been talking about him for a long time but he only played half a game against iran and he still won the man of the match award. of course it was his goal that was absolutely crucial. he's not even the captain of the team but they call him captain america. when the coach spoke to cnn earlier on, he kind of gave an
5:48 pm
indication that he was probably going to be okay. >> he seems to be doing good. i just spoke with him a couple minutes ago and we're going to see what he can do on the training field tomorrow and hopefully he'll be ready for the game against netherlands. i've said all along with one of your most talented players is also one of your hardest workers, you know you're in a good spot. >> the fans have known how important pulisic is to the united states. i have friend that are big soccer fans and every time i see them, they're like pulisic needs to be ready. they knew how important he was going to be and here we are. >> there are a couple coaches in the premiere league. the u.s. are underdogs. how is the u.s. team feeling about their chances in this must-win game?
5:49 pm
>> yeah, i would think they'll be feeling pretty good. there's no doubt about it, the dutch are the favorites, the world number 8. they played in several finals and argue blif. but "new york times" football, anything can happen. the way the united states have been playing, organizing, they're not receiving goals. i think they've got a really, really good chance. the last time they played, 2015. if poulisic, when chelsea playe just eight months ago, pulisic got the goal. he got the best of one of the best defenders in the world. van dike wa -- if they can get e
