my cholesterol is borderline. so i take garlique to help maintain healthy cholesterol safely and naturally. and it's odor free.

i'm taking charge of my cholesterol with garlique. well good evening everyone, i am laura coats and this is cnn tonight. now president biden is responding this evening to the discovery of at least ten classified documents in his former private office. >> people know i take classified documents, classified information seriously. i was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any duck government records taken there to that office. but i don't know what is in the documents, my lawyers have not suggested i ask what documents they were. i have turned over the boxes, they have turned over the boxes to the archives and are cooperating fully, cooperating fully with the review which i hope will be finished soon.

well the documents were discovered on wait for it, november 2nd. from joe biden's time as vice president, including with any u.s. intelligence memos and briefing materials about ukraine and iran in the uk. we are learning exclusively at cnn that a couple of days later biden's lawyers handed over everything in the office, some 50 or 55 boxes out of an abundance of caution. here we go, the house oversight chairman has already sent letters to the white house counsel's office and the national archives and the opening -- of congressional investigations of biden's handling of the documents. the doj already has its hands full with two very different documents cases. what happens next will all come down to how those cases diverge after the documents were discovered to be in the possession of something other than the national archives. at least ten classified documents found in president biden's private office in

downtown washington, at least 325 classified documents found for president trump's beach club in mar-a-lago. some of those ten or so biden documents, they were marked top secret. 60 trump documents were marked trump secret. of course the idea of how many were there, if it is intentional, if it is serious enough, just one document is probably problematic. don't be swayed by the number alone. but team biden, the words you heard our words of cooperation. they are cooperating with the national archives and the doj. now trump he is under investigation for obstruction. president trump's lawyers found his documents and they notify the national archives. but the archives had to reach out to team trump and ask for his documents. and the doj doesn't think it has got all the trump documents even as we are sitting here today. sitting with me here tonight is cnn's phil mattingly, also

retired senior cia operations officer douglas london, author of the great new book the, recruiter. it is out in paperback as we speak. also national security attorney bradley moss and cnn's mj lee who has been covering the president while in mexico city. i am glad that you are all here right now. let's begin with you, mj, because you are where the action is for the president of the united states. of course, what is on everyone's mind is the dates here. we are not just finding out that the president has just found out. why did they not allow people to know or tell this earlier. ? >> i yeah, you know laura as much as we just heard the president address this issue for the very first time at this press conference in mexico city, that is the one question that he really didn't answer and it is a question that the white house isn't answering either, the question being if the biden

team knew and found these classified documents at a private office where they clearly shouldn't have been, going back to november, why are we only learning about this now? earlier today when we were asking the white house about this,, white house counsel office spokesperson said they are limited right now and what exactly they can share. the spokesperson also said that they are committed to doing things the right way and maybe at some point in the future they will be able to share more information. but right now as things stand it is just not clear why that decision was made. what went into that thought process and exactly who might have been involved. you know, the summit with, the north american leader summit that took place right behind us is now over. air force one is headed back to washington. but this issue is clearly waiting for the president back at home. and as you laid out in your intro there, look just real distinctions between the biden document situation and the

trump docks and certainly the white house is trying to make clear that the distinct mission is real. we have seen over the last 48 hours how many republicans and trump allies definitely don't care about those distinctions. >> you know, it is a really important point. i want to go to you bradley on this, national security attorney and has dealt with classified documents throughout your career. i'm wondering, we talk about the distinctions, we have laid out the distinctions, mj makes a fine point about whether that nuance will ever be appreciated. but i do wonder from your perspective, or the red flags here that people are missing? do you feel skeptical about the presidents response or when they knew? >> no. look the two roads diverged here in the woods and joe biden took the path you are supposed to take. he did what you are supposed to when you find out that for whatever reason, whether it wasn't, sloppiness or whatever, classified documents wound up in your possession. notify the government and get it returned to the mediately.

that is according to what we know from the media reporting and what the white house counsel set, is what happened. i want to still see what comes out more details wise i'm, not just taking their word for it but if that is what transpired here than in terms of at least joe biden, he's in the clear. he did what you are supposed to do. donald trump is the case study in how to get yourself into more trouble when you didn't have to be and how to take off the justice department. >> on that point, the idea that we are thinking about not taking one's word for, spoken like a true lawyer, i'm not going to take your word for it, -- i wonder if you are looking at this in your trying to think about how to evaluate and assess ones accountability, or to trust somebody, he could easily say i didn't know. and some talking points already saying, isn't that what trump would say? why is this so different? how do you see it? >> from a counter intelligence perspective, laura, you are looking at the material itself controlled and intent, intense speaking to the accountability

factor. in terms of material, there may be ten document some special access programs but -- clues but not sources and methods. when you compare that against what president trump held, 60 odd top secret documents, a lot more clues there. in terms of control, these were locked in an office that perhaps only biden and his team had access to wear with mar-a-lago this is a county storage space with boxes that common workers could have access to in. terms of a tenth as u.s. explained, president trump might find himself charged with obstruction because he went out of his way to prevent these documents from being retained which means he had an endgame to very possibly be the actions of biden staff but he seems to say he doesn't know about it. either way the numbers themselves in the met it metrics, the clinical evaluation makes it less of a potential hazard as what we saw in mar-a-lago. >> of course phil, thinking about this, there is a divergent path taken. there is the idea of what one knows when you are aware of it, but that awareness factor, we are talking about that it was

known in november. it is january. last week was an entire year, but it is technically still january and it is not november by anyone's imagination. what do you make of the idea that we didn't know about this sooner? this was a of a timeline. >> yeah, as a reporter i am not thrilled by it but i've also spent the last 24 to 36 hours making calls about this and not being thrilled about the general lack of answers. some degree i think that underscores the approach the white house in their team have taken. it is not satisfying from an informational perspective or from a journalisti c

decide this is suspect enough to try and appoint a special counsel. that is a nightmare for any white house, certainly something the administration is cognizant of and wants to avoid because at least according to them they, don't believe they've done anything to merit that. that drives the caution vote on the timeline of things, willingness to talk about this in just how few details they've been willing to let out up to this point. the one thing however they had made clear of, it has, been implicit, it is pretty blatant though, if you look at special counsel statements where the white house cancel statements from last night, if you look to the president today the are drying up a significant contrast with the former president. there is not -- there making clear this is a very different scenario. that is an understanding of -- the restrictions they have. >> mj, we bring you back into the conversation here because i wonder what, this is really taking center stage. of course biden, trudeau and everyone wanted this to have a different vibe today.

to say the least. what is the atmosphere like there? even having to address this, i think many people were surprised president biden didn't just punt and say this is not why i'm here, we are talking about this back in washington d.c.. in some respects it speaks to the idea, i think we lost two for speck and, it speaks to the urgency of how -- we go to bradley about this, i wonder about the timing on this. there has already been someone to look at this, someone who is a trump appointee, a u.s. attorney, added one noise, the fact that there is already been a preliminary report handed over, what does that signal to you about either the pace of the investigation, or how this might end up? >> shows me that they are running by the proper course it. was turned over, everything was turned over back in november, they quickly sent it to the doj. it wasn't like for the trump team where they dragged it out for months, fighting about expected of privilege with norah, doj got the records and they had no --

fear being able to interview people if they need it, and able to get an understanding of what has transpired. >> you need to have that report, interviews have been done. maybe even lawyers for biden. >> pray costly. we already know the president has his personal lawyer's so if there are lawyers being involved the, fact that journalists have been found out about it is kind of disappointing. love >> you brought that up. >> there were -- [inaudible] >> a minor cloud. >> it does show that it is going with the pace that it is supposed to. the reason it is taking so long in mar-a-lago is because of all the obfuscation and the obstruction. they made it take longer than, they put up those roadblocks. >> what about attorney general garland though? he has a bit of a dilemma on his hands. you hear that with the criticism coming out right now from anywhere from the former vice president mike pence to

congressman marjorie taylor greene who are expressing look there, might be a double standard unless there is a -- follow precisely in the same way it happened for trump. even with those divergent paths. general garland has to rely on these reports. he also has a political and legal calculus. what do you think? >> to avoid the double standard, at some point the intelligence community has to get involved to take a look, is there any damage to do an assessment? -- you know far better than me, they would have to -- to let him know, to provide the subject lines, this year on numbers of those reports to take people off line and say have we seen anything? again this intelligence reporting has to breed a 2017 because that is a bummer or material. some of it might be already overtaken by events and certainly there would be an opportunity that had damage been done, had documents been out of control fallen into that hands, by now we have certainly seen indications for the sources and methods that are involved in law -- used in those assessments.

>> is it a good thing that lawyers are told not to ask what documents there were? >> yes. he should -- don't ask about. it there you go fill, that is why they didn't talk. >> by the way reported that before. >> they had that happen? >> i will say, one final thing. i know i'm on the clock. here that has been an interesting element of this, it is not just the president, most of the people in his team also don't have a great sense, they certainly haven't reviewed it in the counsels office or in his broader senior advisories and that has complicated their response as well. they don't know. they have a broad sense of things just based on the fact that the review has been ongoing, some other personal lawyers have been involved as well but that complicates the ability to get information out. but to bradley's point, there is a reason that the president doesn't know about this. that is also not unintentional. >> final point from phil mattingly and obviously stick around please, the lawmaker caught in multiple lies being sworn in, that is up next. of course now his famed low members of congress are asking should george santos be really interested with classified information? i will speak with the democrat

who is demanding mccarthy blocks entices access to that information. next. that spin class was brutal. well, you can try using the buick's massaging seat. oh. yeah, that's nice. can i use apple carplay to put some musisic on? sure, it's wireless. what's your buick's wi-fi password? it's buick e envision. that's a really tight spot. i used to hate parallel parking. me too! the buick envision. built around you. all of you. get 3.9% apr for 5 years and no monthly payments for 90 days on buick envision models.

a clear picture of what comes next for house republicans after the brutal speakership battle. bringing up to discuss, former -- political commentator adam kinzinger. nice to see you today adam. it is interesting, first of all most people saw that screen flash for a moment and had a bit of a déjà vu and thought oh no, are we back here again at a long speakership vote? it is not that. but this was truly a test today. before we get into that though, i am really curious to hear your take on the news of the day. president biden speaking and addressing mexico city that there were classified documents found in a private office, he has not asked his lawyers about what is in it, they handed ovary mediately to the archives in there has already been some preliminary report handed over to the attorney general merrick garland. a trump appointed u.s. attorney who is a hold over an illinois. what is your take on this? >> well first off, the u.s. attorney is a great guy. i know him, he is fair.

i trust what will be in that report. i think in any other time this would be a news item, but obviously, given what has happened with the former president, it is huge. thankfully, in the justice area, they do nuance. there is a lot of nuance differences here, including just you know, yeah there was classified information but what was the reaction after that was found out? politics-wise, nuances -- ammunition perspective, from a difficulty now in prosecuting trump, i don't think is going to make a difference in what the justice department does but it certainly gives ammunition to the republicans to say that you're targeting president trump but i don't think that is necessarily the case. >> interestingly enough, if you were to look at if, you are a republican congressman attempting to do what you are talking about, then if you are condemning more broadly the idea of the possession of classified materials for a former executive officeholder, you necessarily have to then

condemn former president trump, but that nuance won't apparently be there. hypocrisy really is something that seems to be part and parcel as well, right? >> yeah. i think look, everyone can agree that the possession of classified material is wrong. it didn't happen. what you are going to see from my former car leaks in the republican side is a lot of attacking president biden saying he should be in jail and ignoring what donald trump did. i heard it yesterday, someone saying basically look he, was vice president of the time, he should've had access to this material which is patently false, but there is no excuse for either side on this but i do think former president trump has a much different cason again, justice will do nuance, they do nuance far better than politicians do. >> the lies about the behavior in part but let's talk about part of this because as i mentioned at the top, republicans did create a new select committee today to investigate what they are calling the weaponization of

the doj and the fbi. and i'm wondering what this is going to mean for the administration and also for the public's perception of the credibility of the doj more broadly. >> i think we are in a moment where people already have their minds made up. i'm not sure this is going to change anybody's mind. i guess what i'm confused about generally is, there is an oversight committee. the oversight committee is the one that is supposed to be dealing with this, so that is what is ominous about creating a whole new committee that says everybody that is under investigation, now we are going to get after the investigators. i wonder about any part of a chilling effect this pucks on the execution of justice. are we targeting individuals now who are out doing their job? if you believe that there is corruption for instance in the doj or and government agencies, that is what the oversight committee is for. this seems like an extra layer but what i am worried about is this actually seems like

something akin to mccarthy-ism in the 50s, not kevin mccarthy but in terms of who are we going to target, who are we going to put out in front of us and in embarrassing people for doing their job. >> when you try to investigate the investigations and the investigators, a lot of legislation is also not happening but -- speaking of committees and how the oversight is done speaker mccarthy -- and ilhan omar that they will not be on the committees that they served on previously. we already know we have come to think about even the campaign platforms and looking ahead to even november and beyond, there were conversations about what would happen if republicans became the majority and the -for-tat about -- democrats as well suarez was as -- payback listen, to this.

>> they are planning to -- off the committee is. and put george santos, marjorie taylor greene and paul -- over on the committee. i think you can see that is an uneven vengeful approach. they can try to do what they want to do but i think the voters see that this is nothing more than one side trying to take the best of the other side off the field in a very vengeful way. >> how do you see? it >> well it is a very dangerous, slippery slope we're on here. let's go to why emerge retailer green and why paul gosar were pulled off of the committees. by the way, i voted for both of them to be pulled off of their committees. if you go even further back, kevin mccarthy had pulled steve king for some white person supremacist comment off of his committees. it was asked if he could do the same for marjorie taylor greene for denying that school shootings the whole, jewish space laser all, this conspiracies and he refused

because that was politically tough at the time. same with paul gosar who addressed a white supremacist conference when he refused to do that, then the host took it up. we took it up because of a legitimate reason and it was a bipartisan vote. what is being done now is retribution and payback. listen we, start getting into this-for-tat, retribution and payback, this house is dysfunctional as it is is now continues to be even more dysfunctional. it is very scary with this is tracking at the moment. >> real quick we think about the idea of -- what we are watching, i do wonder what you make of the c-span video cameras there, is an amendment right now from congressman matt gates to have them up. speaking about how people are watching what is happening, is there some incentive if the cameras are on if, this amendment was to pass for some reason that you think could be braid or responsibility or count ability could see from people knowing that big brother is watching? >> well let me just give you a personal opinion. either way this goes, i don't

think it is going to be a massive deal, of course matt gates wants that so he can go out and perform on the floor anytime he can get on tv. but listen, what i worry about, right now anytime anybody speaks in a committee or on the floor of the house of representatives, all they think about is at any given time there is actually 7000 people that watch c-span, believe it or not, all they are thinking about is dressing those folks. that is why you don't have legitimate debates anymore. i am a little concerned about what happens if now i go to, i'm on the floor and i talk to somebody that is politically very different, could be a good story but in the base it could be like, why is adam talking to somebody on the far left? i do worry about now making everything a performance. if they end up freeing the cameras, fine i don't think it is a huge deal. i just lean on the side of, we probably shouldn't do that. >> showmanship in congress? i don't know what you are talking about, congressman. is that a thing? so nice to talk to you this evening. >> it is a surprise, yeah.

you bet. >> spoiler alert, it's not. thank you so much congressman for talking to me tonight. listen everyone, speaking of well, what you want to call it, a show that mother nature is doing, sinkholes and flooded roads and heavy snow, there are desperate rescues and california's deadly storms have killed at least 17 people. they have forced tens of thousands to evacuate just so far. we her going to have more after this.

there are dangerous storms battering california with relentless rain and deadly flooding, at least 17 people have now died, thousands have been forced to evacuate, millions are under flood watch. you can see firefighters rescuing a 70-year-old driver stuck on a suburban street near l.a. county. luckily he survived but in central california a five year old is still missing tonight after being swept away in floodwaters. at one point rescue teams were forced to suspend the search for him when the weather became too unsafe for even the rescuers. and the heavy rainfall in

fresno led to this rockslide. deep mud and debris forcing highways to close. i want to bring in ryan mae's spokesperson for the california governor's office of emergency services. thank you for being here tonight ryan. when you see this, the number of people of that have died, you fear this number will rise? >> it is hard to put into words just what we are seeing just across the state, california certainly no stranger to danger in events but normally when we see events in california we see an isolated earthquake in one part of the state. we see a wildfire in one particular part of the state. this really is impacting the entirety of california especially along our coastal communities we are seeing the 17 deaths that you mentioned stretch from the southern border of mexico all the way over to the oregon border on the north side of the state. it is challenging you mention for first responders as well. we did more air rescues today than we did in the last five years of the event. we see a lot of events in

california we are, just talking about the challenging conditions in trying to get through the series of storms. >> we are watching sinkholes on the screen next to you and seeing -- the tire stay tonight. the entire state is under flood watch. so what are you telling people to take keep them safe? this is seemingly in predictable and very dangerous storm in terms of what could impact in happen next. what is your message? >> first and foremost, if you hear an evacuation order in your specific community, best thing you can do is heed that warning. get out, keep yourself safe. keep those first responders who don't then have to come looking for you safe. along those lines, the second thing is take coast attention, watch your social media -- local authorities, these weather conditions are changing very quickly and it is hard to predict. mudslides we are seeing, hard to predict one 100 plus year old trees are coming down it is very dangerous. the third message would be stay off the roads. stay at home if you can and let's get off these few rounds

together. important messages, thank you brian means for these messages. thinking of everyone out. they're especially that five year old boy's little family thank. you so much. >> you are welcome. >> know everyone, george santos is kicking off his term in congress. insulin staying, despite has multiple lies that he has done nothing unethical. from his fellow members of congress they have not been agreeing. there are questions about whether he should even be interested with classified information. you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per r night. proven quality sleep. only from sleep number.

complaint against him with the house ethics committee. they're taking issue with the timing and of course the accuracy of his financial disclosures. it comes just a day after a watchdog group asked federal election commission to investigate santos for allegedly using campaign funds for his personal expenses. now on top of all of that, federal prosecutors in new york are also investigating his finances. this appears to be just the tip of the iceberg. the long island republican has been caught in a growing number of tall tales. that is putting it nicely. facing questions about his work history, is education, this fourths of his wealth, whether or not he is jewish and even how his own mother died. here is how gop leaders say they are going to deal with it. >> this is something that is being handled internally. obviously there are concerns about what we had heard. so we are going to have to sit down and talk about it.

what >> we are going to sit down and talk to him about it. joining me now to talk about this, democratic congressman pat ryan of new york. congressman ryan, thank you for being here this evening. you know, for so many people we are still sort of recovering from the entire speakership election. however -- you joined the recovery of all this. but of course one of the things that was on the minds of everyone was how congressman santos would be treated, number one, how with the slim margin mccarthy might try to either appeal to him or rebuke him. how did that go? i wonder in hearing that what we can call a tepid response, we are going to -- accused of all of these lies. what is your reaction? >> when is it enough? when does lie upon lie upon lie become enough to actually grow a backbone and say, this is deeper than gaining 218 seats

in the house, this is about trust in our democracy among the american people. and unfortunately, we just continue to see people putting power over the essence of our democracy, the dame chrissy i risked my life to defend as a -- if is me off, frankly. >> i can imagine. frankly the electorate, they are wondering the same questions we are asking, especially about the trust element. because trust of course in a democracy has become imperiled in recent times either through famed accusations of not. humming a fair and free election, we do, or the idea of trying to sow discord and distrust between people to have that the self gain you are talking about. you have written to mccarthy speaker, mccarthy, today and you called centers a direct threat to, i'm quoting, a direct threat to national security. that certainly goes beyond the idea of misplaced trust or rejected trust.

why is he a direct threat to national security? well >> i think it is really important, the american people should understand that when you are elected to congress you essentially automatically get access to top secret, national security information. a security clearance. that is undergirded by this idea that if the people know you and they elect you you should be trusted and trusted with this highly sensitive information with lives at stake. the problem is santos blatantly lied to the american people. yet he is going to get the same access to this highly sensitive, top secret information. i said the speaker i, demanded, along with other colleagues, all of whom are sort of in harm's way in the military or intelligence agencies, we cannot let this stand. we don't even know where hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign contributions have come from. who might he be beholden to, until that is sorted out and he is properly vetted it truly is a national security risk to allow him access to this

information. >> you said the idea of vetting, of course, and the idea of an investigation pending is at least one republican congressman who appears to be -- south dakota wanting to have an investigation. i wonder what that would look like to? >> well, there needs to be a congress prevents of investigation into frankly how he was even allowed to be seated given how we knew these issues had come up. these lies had occurred and yet he was allowed to be sworn in. i also -- >> there is time to catch it. >> yeah, we knew, this was wildly reported before he was sworn in. me another is called and said we let stop and now and low not let this mistake go further. i have also called for specifically that he should be subjected to a national security investigation if he does one access to this information. the normal american citizen getting clearance goes through months of extensive band crown checks and vetting given his lies at a minimum, if they want

to keep him in congress which i don't think he should be, let's at least subject him to a fulsome background check with the i don't think would pass frankly. >> speaking of national security of course, the big news of the day and really the past 24 hours and frankly the last month -- 's handling of classified documents, there, has been -- classified documents of some nature being found in the private office of a former vice president who is now the president of the united states. what do you say to the fact that this has happened, you don't have all the information, that is true to you, are still waiting for data from the reporting to come in and for the president to talk about really happened if he knows. what is your reaction to this issue? is it is a matter of trust in many respects. >> it all comes back to trust, which comes back to accountability. i handle classified information every day is an army intelligence officer. if someone were to accidentally misplace it or miss store it, what you do is you identify that problem, you own it.

you address it or fix it and you do it in a transparent way. that is what the president seems to be doing, that is what everybody should do. it is the opposite of what trump did, by the way, who tried to cover it up and lie about it and so on and so forth. so, we, as you said we need to learn more. but i think the first step is taking accountability and getting to the facts. >> congressman, thank you so much for your insight today. >> yeah, thanks for having me. >> well, china's government denying a covid surge over there but picture evidence tells a very different story. we have got the solidly images showing crowded crematoriums and funeral homes after this. te, because you can track us and see exactly when we'll be there. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. let's go! >> tech vovo: that's service that fits your schedule. go to safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

images raised questions about china's covid deaths. there are growing signs that the number of deaths are far beyond what the government is objecting to. at the sudden end of its severe lockdown just last month. take a look at the satellite images of funeral home outside beijing. just a matter of weeks last month, it apparently became so crowded they have to build a new parking lot for mourners. and the clues, while they don't stop there. this video shows people lined up in the night at a crematorium in china. the washington post reports that scenes like this suggests that families are now waiting for hours just to have a chance to make arrangements for a memorial service and cremation. now, in some cases, demand is so high that the person who uploaded this video says that there were even scalpers holding spaces. joining me now is washington

post video forensic reporter samuel oakford. thank you for joining me. if this is very disturbing to think about what is taking place here, samuel, i wonder initially, seeing these images that are around china, showing this increased traffic. i am wondering with this truly signals in terms of what the current state of covid-19 is in china. >> laura, thank you for having me on. the chinese government is very tightlipped about how many people are dying due to the curve in covid surge that is what going on due to the reversal of their zero covid policy, especially when it comes to deaths in major cities. we are seeing totals. that are low if not at all showing up. what we wanted to do is show if -- open source material including videos to see if we can establish patterns across the country and if we are able to do that, we looked at multiple cities and eventually we came

up with six cities where we could identify funeral homes that had more activity now in terms of vehicles and people outside, compared to the same time last year. we then took videos that were taken inside of those facilities and we could see how crowded they were. >> that is pretty amazing to think about, just the technology who were using and the idea of using satellite images to get to the heart of the matter of what china is not revealing. i just want to underscore a point that you made, samuel, because officially just over 5200 people in china, according to their numbers, have died since the beginning of the pandemic. that compares in the united states to just over 1 million. but just 5000 they say have passed. but you are reporting actually that it is a very different projection. in fact a projects by in international -- 5000 per day. how do we get to that?

>> right. well, our investigation is trying to see what was happening, in cities across the country, to see if there was any evidence to suggest that what experts say could happen was right. we basically we did not find that there was evidence to contradict what those experts are saying. we don't know how many people are dying, certainly the evidence suggests that a lot of people are dying especially the elderly, who have lower levels of vaccination or boosters. this is a big problem in china. and when everything changed overnight effectively, in early december, the country as a whole is undergoing what the u.s. may have gone through over the course of three years. >> and of course we are learning now that part of it is relaxing of the covid protocols. we are wondering the cause of this recent surge is most directly. but china is also allowing people to not travel again. i am wondering how this might pose a danger internationally.

>> yeah, well or investigation is mostly focused on the spread of the, possible spread in china i. think we all know by now that covid can spread and people traveling. but i think that what we are trying to get at was accountability here. the chinese government basically is not saying and leveling with the international community as well as their own citizens about what is happening at the moment. if you think about what we went through here in the united states with so many deaths and so many dramatic scenes here in the early days with the the pandemic. imagine if the government was covering up that, those deaths. we simply didn't know how people many people were dying. that is what is happening now in china, our investigation shows that what the government is saying is almost certainly an accurate. >> really important story. way to get at the information when transparency certainly is not the name of the game there.

thank you so much. >> thank you. >> so, the investigations, well they have begun. republicans are requesting information about the classified documents found in president joe biden's old private office. i will tell you about it next. new retinol overnight means the smoothing benenefits of retinol are now for your whole bodody. plus, fast-working crepe corrector dimiminishes wrinkled skin in just two days. gold bond. champion your skin. with angi, you can connect with and see ratings and reviews. and when you booand pay throug you're covered by our happiness check out angi.com today. angi... and do. aubree: i'm aubree. i went to st. jude because i had a cancerous tumor. casey: these kids, they don't deserve to have to go through this. my beautiful little redheaded girl has cancer.

well president biden is breaking his silence tonight in the classified documents or his time as the vice president that were found in his present office. here's what he said today at the summit in mexico city. >> people know i take

classified documents, classified information seriously. when my lawyers were clearing out my office at the university of pennsylvania, they set up an obvious for me, a secure office in the capital for years after being vice president i was a professor at penn. they found some documents in a box, locked cabinet. or at least a closet. and as soon as they did they realized that there were several documents in that box, and they did what they should have done. the immediately called the archives, immediately called the archives and turn them over to the archives. and i was briefed about the discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office. but i don't know what is in the documents, my lawyers have not suggested i ask what i've turned over the boxes, to the archives, we are cooperating fully, cooperating
