into remember lost friends. john berman here in for anderson. the vigil being held tonight at the university of idaho in memory of the four students who were murdered at an off campus home more than two weeks ago. smaller gatherings are underway or about to get underway at colleges across the state and in neighboring washington. this is happening as we said in the climate of fear. as well as remembrance. because the killer still remains at large. cnn's veronica meir is at the vigil for us tonight. veronica, how is the university of idaho honoring the victims? >> john, hundreds of students are already inside right now. many people still streaming in. this vigil is just getting underway. they are making sure that as this is the first time students, community members and faculty have been able to come together. that they can honor those victims and also be here for each other. as you mentioned, this is the main campus here. the main vigil. but there are six other vigils happening across the state of
9:02 pm
idaho. even one in seattle. we do know that the family members of at least one of the victims is in attendance here tonight. and we have spoken with many students all throughout this weekend even today about why they wanted to come back despite the fact that there are so many people still afraid. 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. so what are police doing to help everybody feel safe? and i mean safe right now at the vigil. here at the vigil there is increased security. like any big event at the stadium, there is metal detectors, there is also a clear bag policy. in addition to that, they have ramped up security by bringing in officers. that is in addition to the 14 patrol officers from the idaho state police that have come to moscow just this week. four of those officers are dedicated to the campus. there is also increased security, private security, and the police department. so many
9:03 pm
people fear being safe, but we did speak to one student who said that it is actually quite unsettling. >> it has been really weird, especially because seeing all of the cops everywhere, and it is the kind of thing where it is like oh, there is [inaudible] and i thought it would make me feel safer but it doesn't, because it just reminds me that there is still someone out there. >> that is certainly on the forefront of everyone's minds. but tonight, they are setting it aside. many people just here to honor the four victims. kayleigh gonzalez, madison, ethan, and xana kernodle. >> thank you so much for being there. we are going to return to this story shortly where we will be joined by cnn chief law enforcement an intelligence analyst, john miller. right now, to developments out of washington. the january 6th committee hearing from what is expected to be its final
9:04 pm
witness today, and meeting friday to a potential criminal referrals against the former president, and maybe others. after a marathon legal battle finally has access to six years of donald trump's tax returns. cnn's jessica schneider joins us now with the latest on both. jessica, what do we know about what will happen with the january 6th committee this friday? >> yeah, time is ticking for the committee, john. they have weeks left before republicans take over. we know that they are looking to issue their final report, that would likely be mid december. in the meantime, they still have all of these pressing issues that they will be discussing at this meeting on friday. first off you mentioned that they will talk about the possibility of making criminal referrals. that is something that midterms have
9:05 pm
long said it is likely. but a recommendation from the committee, it is not something that the doj has to follow, despite that this has been a big issue for the committee. members have been quite vocal that they will -- the commit conspiracy when they tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power on january 6th. however, members are still split about really whether to make that criminal referrals. so that will be a talking point on friday. also, the committee has to decide how to handle those five republicans that include the house minority leader kevin mccarthy, who refused to comply with subpoenas from the committee over the past several months. so john, a lot of issues are still outstanding as this committee near the end of it. it also comes as kevin mccarthy has sent a letter to the committee telling them to preserve all records, and he is also vowing to hold his own hearings when he takes charge about security lapses that led to the capitol breach. so republicans are not going to get let this issue go, but instead will rewrite the narrative of january 6th when they do take power. >> that is a january 6th committee, the house ways and means committee now has access to six years of donald trump's what are they going to do with them?
9:06 pm
>> yes, they have to decide now that they have access how exactly they will handle the returns. that could be a main point in the meeting they will have with legal counsel tomorrow. the big thing is that it is 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 definitely will not get immediate access to them. it is possible that they could be released sometime down the road, however that could impact trump spread it presidential bid that he announced for 2024. he has repeatedly, for years, refused to release his tax returns throughout his presidency. we did get a glimpse of information from the new york times back in 2020, they found that trump paid no federal income taxes at all beginning it in 2000. so we could see, potentially in the future, depending on what the house ways and means committee decides to do with these returns, what else might be buried in six years of trump's tax returns. it is not anything the public will see anytime soon, and this committee has just weeks before they wrap up to really decide how they want to handle them as well. >> all right jessica, thank you so much for that. we are going to talk about these one at a
9:07 pm
time, starting first with the january 6th committee, and possible criminal referrals, the perspective from two legal analyst, elie honig who is a prosecutor in the southern district. as deputy attorney general during the obama administration. ali, to you, if the january six committee does go down the path of issuing criminal referrals, how much weight does that have with the justice department? what does the justice department actually care here? >> the legal answer is zero. a criminal referral from congress or anybody else is simply about political symbolism, really. it is just a request from congress saying hey, doj, we would like you to investigate this. doj
9:08 pm
does not need that in order to do anything. you know how we know that? they are already investigating donald trump. mary garland has not made that public and have not received a referral. and if i am sitting at doj, i position towards congress, when it comes to a referral would be thanks, but no thanks. because the last thing i want to even the public appearance that you have, this committee, which is dominated by democrats, it is not all democrats but you do not want donald trump to be able to say well, this democratic dominated committee tells doj to jump and what they do, they jump. that will make it look political, it is better for doj to have nowhere for a little. >> you have an interesting perspective here, because you worked both on the hill, and at doj. so what is the risk reward that you see for congress to do for this committee to recommend the referral? >> yeah, picking up exactly on elise point right here, john, there are two different impulses. if you are congress, you must assert yourself as a coequal and maybe even first among equals branch of government that has the right,. and even the duty to investigate the executive branch. and has the power to frankly cut off the salaries of the executive branch and make the whole government grind to a
9:09 pm
halt if they want. that is the right, that is their duty. but to l. a.'s point, it just doesn't matter, it is not going to drag the prosecution, nobody is going to go to jail on account of something that congress says. this is really about how the branches of government interact with each other. the right thing to do for congress is to issue criminal referrals here at the end of the day, it is not going to move the needle with respect any prosecutions. >> elie, we just heard from jessica's report that the house republican leader, kevin mccarthy who may very well be a speaker within a few weeks is going to hold hearings, is bound to hold hearings about security in the capital around january 6th. in addition to that, is demanding that the committee, the january 6th committee preserve all records and transcripts. what does that mean, how might that play out? >> well, this is an example of elections have consequences. republicans soon will have the power to hold hearings. they issued this order, this destruction to the january 6th committee to preserve the records. i don't think they need to be told that, of course they are going to preserve the records of course they are not going to destroy records. but we should get used to this, because we are going to see
9:10 pm
kevin mccarthy, he has already told us he is trying to investigate the investigators thing on the january 6th committee, and also let's remember, kevin mccarthy and jim jordan have both told merrick garland, they both made public statements saying attorney general, clear your calendar and savior documents, something to that effect, maryland is no need to be told that either, but relating to the mar-a-lago search. now, i think we should get used to seeing the republican-controlled house. they cannot stop or in the rail a criminal investigation, but they certainly can make life difficult and complicated for merrick garland and the justice department. i look for them to try to do that. >> how, in this case, particularly with the january 6th committee, could republicans, once they take control if they wanted, how could they try to rewrite the history? >> okay, so a number of things, one like i said a bit earlier, they are congress and have a tremendous amount of power with respect to oversight, making the justice department grind to a halt constantly putting an oversight request for letters and documents, and testimony bringing people up to testify and slowing things down. number
9:11 pm
two, they have a -- 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 this month will seize the public discussion for quite some time, and if they are good at it, they can shift the public discussion on this. but 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 that their side of the story as well. so, there is right, and there is wrong, and there is who has got the microphone. you know, come january 3rd, another group of folks does that.
9:12 pm
>> my favorite law firm, thank you so much for the conference tonight. all right, now to the second piece of business that jessica reported on. trump's tax returns and what house democrats could learn from them, in the remaining weeks they control the chamber. with us now is investigative reporter, and trump biographer, david cay johnston. author of the big cheat, how donald trump pleased america and enrich himself and his family. the house ways and means committee, they do not have much time to investigate the former president's taxes if they want to. democrats only control this committee for another month or so. so what
9:13 pm
are the most immediate questions that could be answered by these documents? >> well, they could tell us definitively whether donald many populated the value of assets that he was depreciating. when you own an asset like a building, you get to write off part of the cost of it each year. and it saves your tax dollars. and we know from the new york times investigation four years ago that trump manipulated values all over the place to deal with loans, and insurance documents. that would be one of the first things to look for. second, to look for numbers that do not matchup. you claim to have x amount of money in the bank, in a particular account at the end of an entity, donald has 500 entities, and the amount of money that you have the next year does not match up, it should be exactly the close out, just the start of the next year. but they do not have much time to look at that if that is what they want to do. >> the tax return in question is primarily from the period where donald trump was president, when he was in the white house, how do you think that affects the investigation? >> well, i would be much more interested in seeing the tax returns before he became president, because there is testimony in the ongoing new york city trial on tax cheating by the trump organization that day 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 was persecuted by the irs because he is a christian. never mind that he has called christians fools, and idiots, and has declared repeatedly his life's philosophy is revenge, which is inherently anti-christian. that was the issue, that the >>
9:14 pm
>> being treated properly by the. irs that's an issue i can imagine democrats might where republicans might want to get into. depending on how facts turnout in the future. not likely, but possible since they are always trying to beat up the irs. >> so the chair of the house committee we declined to say whether they would release many of these publicly. do you think that any of these will see the light of day? >> well i hope so, first and foremost but you neil is very concerned about the section of the tax code that makes tax returns confidential. they used to be public record 100 years ago. the republic. but they are not now. they have procedures by which the committee can split the tax returns into the public record. he is having a meeting with his caucus on the committee, and i think one of the things that they are certain to discuss is, is there a way for them to put this in the congressional record so that it is always
9:15 pm
there, and people on the outside can basically crowd source and audit? >> the former presidents legal team has fought for years, so has the president picked heap these secrets. you've reported on him extensively. why do you think he works so hard to keep these from going public? >> because donald is a tax cheat. i have established in the public record previously that he cheated on sales taxes, on payroll taxes, he actually even cheated players who wanted his casinos, and the new york times investigation, they said was inspired by my reporting four years ago, it showed very, very calculated, income tax cheating by the trump family. it also involve gift tax, and state tax cheating. that is who trump is. he's cheated investors and workers. and even some gamblers. so of course the tax returns, they're fully audited are going
9:16 pm
to show that he cheated on his income taxes. >> david cay johnston, thank you for your insight. >> thank you john. >> next, more on the idaho killings. specifically the investigation and what authorities are now saying about it and the investigative work we are not seeing. cnn's john miller joins us. later, a live report from one of the many cities across china tonight. more protesters fed up with covid lockdowns have been taking to the streets. and where there is one sign that the government could be bending on these restrictions. so you can enjoy the life you've created. that's the planning effect. from fidelity. why do so many businesses use stamps.com? they save time by printing discounted stamps and shipping labels right from their computers get a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and get started today

9:21 pm
investigation stands tonight? and if there is a breakthrough, will it be because of forensics something paid off their or maybe a witness comes forward? >> it could be either. we are at the stage now where we are past the ten-day mark. we are going into the third week. lab results are coming back. so now really for the first time beyond what was visually available. and with the profilers could interpret from what they saw at the crime scene, in terms of chemistry. that means dna results are taken from the four victims. 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 looking to do is collect those unknown samples. and run them through the systems that are national to see does that hit on somebody with a violent record that is
9:22 pm
being kept. at the same, time they are running the crime scene through those computers. the violent criminal apprehension program. and saying is there a crime that is similar enough in the amount that it needs to be compared for one of these offenders. >> how likely is it they will be able to identify the dna of the perpetrator or perpetrators and if they do, is that the type of thing they would hold close to the vest? >> yes, likely first if the person's dna is on file and the contribution is large enough, which should be. that would happen with a great deal of certainty. and it could happen now. if the unknown contributor is isolated but not on trial. they haven't been convicted or did not give a dna sample when they were arrested. they have to figure that out another way. which means they go through all of the rest of the leads. remember, they painted that box and said, we want every piece of info.
9:23 pm
they are looking for license plates, and frankly they have people they looked at. put aside people. when you have a main suspect, everybody is a suspect. >> so if there is no useful dna. of an alleged perpetrator. what does it say about the person who pulled this off? maybe that they are so careful, they know they are doing to not leave traces behind? >> could be. whoever went there, according to the offender characteristics the crime scene tells us, came there on a mission. and their mission was murder. they were going to kill at least one person. probably everybody that was their. that's why they brought that particular knife. which was a significant fixed blade weapon. it is probably why they took that knife with them. it's probably something they have used before. something that they like that could include gloves. we've seen many cases where in frenzied stabbings, the person is slip and cut their own hand and become an inadvertent dna contributor. so what they're hoping for is a
9:24 pm
mistake on the perpetrators and that becomes a break on. there's >> john miller, great to see you tonight. >> new developments as well in the so-called catfishing murders in southern california. the mother and grandparents are a teenage girl found dead on friday. the suspect was killed in a shootout. and now family members are speaking out. with a warning about online dangers. more now from cnn's josh campbell. >> this horrific event started with an inappropriate online romance. between a predator and a child. >> the child, a 15-year-old girl is still in protective custody undergoing trauma counseling and receiving extensive medical care. after a law enforcement officer brutally killed her mother and grandparents. >> we have possible murder victim. multiple victims. >> then set the families home on fire and took off with her. driving for two hours until the pursuit ended with her fleeing the car. and the suspect shot and killed
