7:00 am
i'm john berman. it is just about the top of the hour. i'm here sampling because jim sciutto is off this week. this morning house oversight committee james comer is demanding answers after another batch of classified documents was discovered in president biden's delaware home. comber is now asking the white house to turn over evidence as he plans a congressional investigation. all of this as you might imagine further dividing democrats and republicans in congress. >> i still would like to see congress do its own assessment of -- and receive an assessment from the intelligence community of whether there was any sk exposure of those documents and harm to national security. >> it shows the hypocrisy and why the american people don't trust their government. congress has an independent constitutional obligation to
7:01 am
oversee all aspects of justice department. >> paula reid is following all of this. paula, let's just start with these five additional pages of classified material that were found at the president's home in delaware. what do you know about that. >> reporter: these were found uncovered at the president's wilmington home. let's take a step back. right now there are approximately 20 known documents of classified markings have been uncovered at two different locations connected to the president. the first is his former office here in d.c. we know ten documents have been uncovered there. and they include top secret information. the rest of the material has been uncovered at his wilmington home and there was one document that they thought consisted of a single page and they realized last week it was six pages consisting of multiple documents. and now, john, i'm sure a lot of people asking. well is this it? and i could tell you, we have no idea. because we still know from our
7:02 am
sources that not every possible location has been searched. the u.s. attorney, when he was conducted this initial review, he didn't do any searches. he allowed the biden team to do that. it is taken a long time to search locations where me know documents were shipped during the transition and now there are other spots that could be searched and it remains to be seen whether the biden team will do any of those searches or if that will be passed off to the special counsel and the fbi. not clear if we'll be alerted to any classified material that is uncovered. >> and how the white house intends to release this information, paula, is this something of a shift in their strategy? >> reporter: over the weekend we did see a shift, john. because over the last week, it seemed that almost every day there were new disclosured but coming through press reports and followed by the confirming statements from the president's lawyers. and they took a lot of heat for that. now the white house argued they wanted to defer to the justice
7:03 am
department, let the process play out. but it was interesting, over the weekend, they got out in front of this. they disclosed additional five pages and said don't get used to this. they said going forward they want to defer to the special counsel and that ongoing investigation. they emphasize they are cooperating but as of right now it is not clear if they'll update if additional classified material is found and that is how potentially this could continue to balloon into a bigger political problem because the average person, they're hearing more and more and more classified information. >> senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid. keep us posted. thank you. and in a letter to white house chief of staff ron klain, house over site committee chair james comer wants more information on these classified documents. stephanie zan ona is here. what is chairman comer after
7:04 am
here. >> so he wants access to all of the classified documents and seeking more communications and documents regarding the searches of biden's home for classified documents and comer wants to get his hands on the visitor logs from inauguration day to present and part of his reasoning is that he said the biden administration has not been fully transparent throughout this process. noting that the administration did not reveal the discovery of these dpoocuments before the november election. here is what more of what comer had to say with our jake tapper yesterday. >> we want to know the visitor logs to the residence and who had access to the biden center for diplomacy because this is the same type of investigation that the democrats were so outraged and launched and demanded happen to president trump. the administration hasn't been transparent about what is going on with president biden's possession of classified documents. and we just want equal treatment
7:05 am
here. >> now, jake tapper also asked chairman comer why he he's not also investigating trump's handling of classified documents and comer's response was that democrats have already thoroughly investigated donald trump throughout their years in the majority and he also claimed that biden and trump are being treated differently here and that there is a discrepancy in how they're being treated but we should note there is a reason for that. joe biden has been cooperating and turning over documents as they've been discovered and donald trump did not and that is why mar-a-lago was ultimately raided. that is something that jamie raskin, the top democrat on the house oversight committee also talked about. >> we were delighted to learn that the president's lawyers the moment they found out about the documents, that he day turned them over to the national archives and ultimately to the department of justice. that is a very different posture than what we saw with donald trump where he was fighting for
7:06 am
a period of more than eight months to not turn over hundreds of missing documents. >> so this is a huge clash between republicans and democrats on the over site committee. republicans were vowing aggressive over site into the biden administration and now they have a new line of attack to go after biden. this is an investigation and there are going to be hearings. i asked chairman comer that last week and so this is a big battle in the coming weeks and months, john. >> melanie zanona, thank you for your reporting. here now, john dean who served as white house counsel for former president nixon and laura lopez from pbs news hour. first to you, our paula reid said something that was interesting. she said is this all of the documents now? at this point could there be more and paula's answer was we don't know. there still could be more documents out there in biden world. how much of a problem is that?
7:07 am
>> well, look, obviously this is not something that the white house wanted to be dealing with right now. right as president biden's approval ratings were just starting to improve earlier this year and he was feeling pretty emboldened and after the midterms went better than democrats expected. and when you're a sitting president, you don't want to have look at the fact that you're being investigated by a special counsel. but paula is right, we don't know how many documents are left out there. the white house clearly was trying to get ahead of it this weekend with president biden's personal lawyer bob bower who used to be the white house counsel under president obama has now taken that over and he tried to put out a formore full time line for the press this weekend but we don't know if they'll continue to do that. >> what are the potential legal pitfalls for the president and his team here. what do they need to be most careful of? >> well they're cooperation is the key. and they are doing that.
7:08 am
they're doing nothing to obstruct this investigation. they're trying to alert the justice department, the national archives as to what was involved and doing it as quickly as possible. so i think this is more an investigation of what happened, how did they get there, why were they still in the vice president's belongings, the former vice president's belongings and trying to understand the back story. that is a political question and not a legal question. but i think they need to answer all of the questions because the way this has been handled has obviously created a bit of a mini scandal. >> is there a legal issue for them, john, in the fact that there are still documents being found? if you were an investigator at this point, with the fbi or i guess the special counsel's office, and you were told by biden's team, here are still more and then a week later here is more. is that something that would urk investigators?
7:09 am
>> it is a little surprising when they first discovered the documents, they didn't do a sweep. that is one of the reasons that they have this problem, is they were less than forthcoming on some of this. they should have gone everywhere where he could have had documents. they should have uncovered them themselves. why the documents were still there and what use was made of them, if any. how they were secured, if at all. if they had volunteered all of that, they might have nipped this in the bud. but for reasons we don't know at this point, they were slow. they were, you know, national security information is delicate. and bob bower, who did not have a current clearance, i think he could have been cleared just by the fact if the president himself assigned this, he could have said, bob, i want you to go find what is going on here and
7:10 am
then give him the necessary clearance by that instruction. >> jake tapper yesterday what chairman comer, he had an interesting conundrum for republicans here. yes, they have an oversight capacity, but at the same time, it is going to be hard for them to press just on president biden's documents issue when they didn't real liz express any concern over donald trump's document issue. >> that is right. congressman comer never asked for the visitor logs for mar-a-lago while he's asked for the visiting logs for president biden's delaware home and a lot of republicans including representative comer and speaker kevin mccarthy all rallied behind former president trump after the fbi went into search and are now they have -- sas a part of the new investigation they're launching, one is into the fbi. one is looking at the fbi and arguing that -- that it has been
7:11 am
weaponized because of the fact that they conducted that search of mar-a-lago. so, a lot of the republicans are even admitting and i think comer did to jake tapper, that it is not so much the classified documents they're concerned about, they think that there has been some unequal treatment. but there is a very valid reason from officials, from doj officials, from the fbi, why there was different treatment. because of the fact that president biden's lawyer so far appear to be cooperating and immediately sending back documents. and that is not what trump and his team did. they withheld for more than a year. >> they're different treatment because they're different cases and way different behavior as far as we know at this point. laura, and john great to see both of you. the faa is investigating a close call between two plains at jfk. you're going to hear how swift action by a air traffic controller kept the jets from colliding. plus a search for survivors

7:16 am
the national transportation safety board is investigating what led to a near collision between two jets on a runway at jfk here in new york. on friday night quick action by an air traffic controller prevented a delta and american airlines plan from slamming into each other. pete muntean is here with the very latest on this. pete, this seems close? >> reporter: super close. but the good news is the
7:17 am
disaster was averted but only with seconds to spare. thanks to the quick action of the air traffic controller and the jfk control tower but also the quick reaction by the delta airlines flight crew. look at the animation. it shows that delta airlines 737 lining up for takeoff and listen to what the controller heard and realized that an american airlines triple 7 was taxiing across the same runway. listen. >> delta 1943, cancel takeoff clearance. cancel takeoff clearance. >> rejecting. >> now the faa said the planes came within a thousand feet of one another. that is only about three football fields. very close. and in aviation terms, this is known officially as a runway incursion and in the year of 2022, the faa saw about 1600 of
7:18 am
them by flight crews to the faa. that sounds like a high number, but most of them pretty minor. not near as significant as this one. it is been a huge focus of airlines, the faa, and the ntsb which is now also investigating this. because the accidents have really, really big consequences. they're written in blood. the tenia reef accident of 1977, two 747s hit each other onned ground. one was taking off and the other was one taxiing. the single world airline disaster ever. more than 580 people killed. came so close to another one here, john. >> you could see it in a that graphic and then hear it in the voice of the air traffic controller and the first word he used there, a very technical word to describe. >> a lot of urgency. >> how dangerous this was. pete muntean, great to see you. thank you very much. this morning three people still missing after a plane crash in nepal. the worst aviation disaster in
7:19 am
30 years. when the yeti airlines went down. authorities say the chances of finding survivors at this point extremely slow. vivica joins me now with the latest. what have investigators learned about the crash? >> reporter: well, think what you mentioned is the most important development from today which is the black boxes being recovered which has the data recordings there it. this is vital to the investigations which is going to be a representation from the government. you have a five member team that will look into the investigations and the black box will be crucial to the findings and there are a lot of answers only investigators and the nepal government but even family members of the 72 people on board arek looing for. like you pointed out, the other big development of the day is
7:20 am
another body was retrieved. yesterday on sunday the count was 68 bodies and another has been retrieved which makes it 69. but only 38 of the bodies have been identified as of now. we're being told by officials that these bodies will be sent postmortem after which they will be handed over to family members. as far as the 15 foreign nationals who were on board is concerned, their bodies will be airlifted to kathmandu whether the post mart em will be handed over to family members. we were told by officials and this in fact was a quote from the yet a airline spokesperson, that the weather was clear and sunny where the crash took place and the wreckage was found in a gr gorge. so it seems that the weather was holding up. now all eyes will be on the investigations. this committee has 35 days to submit their report to the government and we are hoping we get to know what really happened in the moments that led to the
7:21 am
crash in the town through these investigations. john. >> the families want answers. vivica sud, thank you very much for your reporting. so it is one of the deadly attest attack in russia's year long war on ukraine. we have a live update on the search for survivors after the devastating missile strike on an apartment building. before advil. advil, dual action bites, pain, twtwo ways. advil targets pain at the source. acetaminophen blocks, pain signals, advil, dual action. not flossing well? then add the whoa! of listerine to your routine. new science shows itets in between teeth to destroy 5x more plaque above the gumline than floss. for a cleaner,ealthier mouth. listerine. above the gumline than floss. feel thehoa! hi, we've both got a big birthday coming up. so we have a lot of questions about medicare plans. we've got a lot of answers! how can i help? well for starters, do you include hearing benefits? how about a plan with dental, vision and hearing benefits?

7:26 am
this morning rescue crews are combing through the rubble of a bombed out apartment building in dnipro in ukraine searching for survivors. a russian missile strike destroyed part of the nine-story building on saturday killing at least 40 people. now the kremlin has denied targeting the building saying it was a result of counter missiles and air defense. but this contradicts ukraine's claim that a russian kh-22 missile was used. fred pleitgen is on the scene just outside of the apartment building. we could see behind you and the rubble. give us the latest from there. >> reporter: hi there, john. you could see the rubble and that gaping hole where that actual part of that building used to be. and you know, standing here, you could up close you could really see that the structure was just absolutely flattened all the way to the ground, all the way to the ground floor. you could still see the rescue crews that you were just talking about, they are indeed still sort of sifting through the building, till hoping to maybe
7:27 am
find people who might be buried somewhere, trapped somewhere. but you know, john, i spoke to the local mayor here a couple of minutes ago and he was telling me, yes, this is still a search and rescue operation. but they do understand that the chances ever finding anybody alive underneath that are very slim. and of course, throughout the course of the day, we have seen the death toll really jump from about 30 early this morning to 40 now. and of course, the rescue crews here, they do fear that there could be more people who lie dead underneath that rubble. but an absolute scene of devastation. we have seen some really tragic things play out, we were at the funeral of a 15-year-old girl today and there were just a lot of her classmates, a lot of her teachers who were also there who were in absolute grief and agony and cursing the russians. and the kremlin say the russians don't target civilian areas but the ukrainians do say they are certain that the missile that hit this building was that kh-22
7:28 am
cruise missile and we have to tell ow viewers that that missile was designed to destroy aircraft carriers and obviously if a missile like that hits a residential building like this, it leads to the kind of destruction that you're seeing behind me right now. the other thing about that missile, it is also one that was developed in the time of the soviet union and known to be very inaccurate. the margin of error with that rocket is about 500 yards that it could miss its target. and the mayor told me there are some power plants here, some critical infrastructure in the vicinity of the area but no military installations whatsoever. the ukrainans angry and saying that they need more modern air defenses. we know that ukrainians are learning to use the u.s. patriot missile defense systems, anti-aircraft systems and they say that is something that is needed and could help them to defend against strikes like the one that we saw here.
7:29 am
>> at least three children killed, 40 people at a minimum killed in their homes, in their apartment building. fred pleitgen on the scene in dnipro. thank you very much. with me now is mark kenysian, from the strategic international studies. and first is it reasonable to think that patriot missiles or enhanced air defense may have protected that building from this attack? >> well, in theory that would certainly be possible. the problem is that just aren't enough air defense assets to go around. the united states has committed to sending one patriot battery to ukraine. that will defend one city. the germans have committed to another battery. that means that they could defend two cities, probably kyiv and kharkiv. it is unlikely that dnipro would come under that umbrella. nato got rid of the most ground based air defense so there isn't a lot of inventory to provide to
7:30 am
the ukraines. >> we're looking at this apartment building that is just gone. the hole where the building once stood. does it make sense that this could be this kh-22, this cruise missile that did that damage. >> absolutely. and as your correspondent said, they have a very large warhead. it is about one ton. they're designed, however, to attack ships. very inaccurate. probably the russians were aiming at one of the power stations. remember that the russians have conducted a campaign against the electrical system in ukraine trying to put the ukrainian people under pressure, maybe to have them sue for peace. it is likely that the russians were aiming at that but with a tool that is that inaccurate, they're going to land all over the place including on civilian apartment buildings. >> they've shown little to no concern for welfare and when you are targeting the infrastructure you are targeting civilians by definition there. vladimir putin is claiming that the war the last few days has taken what he calls a positive
7:31 am
dynamic. do the russians have a reason to feel as if their getting some kind of momentum? >> well they're not getting any momentum on the battlefield. what i thinker that doing is settling in for a long war. putin, of course at the beginning called this a special military operation implying it was going to be very short. they've come to realize it is going to be long. and he's taken some steps to enable russia to fight for a long-term. last couple of weeks he's been berating his defense industry to do more munitions for a long war and they had this partial moeshlization. so i think putin is probably feeling better because he's now positioning himself for a long war and perhaps an offensive in the donbas in the next couple of months. >> you talked about the potential and also the limitations about the patriot
7:32 am
missile. there are now reports that ukraine could be getting incr increased shipments of advanced weaponry from nato an the west including tanks which they've been asking for now for nearly a year. weapons in and of themselves, how much of a difference will they make to the ukrainians? >> well, the big is the last two weeks has been the number of armored vehicles that the west has committed and the united states is sending bradleys which are like tanks and fighting vehicles and other countries like the pols have talked about leopard tanks. they have to be helpful. but there is a problem here with scale. the pols have talked about sending maybe 15 tanks. the ukrainians have 800. so what the united states and nato are sending is symbolic and powerful weapons but initially
7:33 am
they won't arrive in the kind of numbers needed to really turn the war around. maybe after six months, or more as more of the systems arrive, as more ukrainians get trained on them they could make a real difference. i think early on, the significance is mostly symbolic. >> important perspective. colonel mark, thank you so much for being with us. >> thanks for having me on the show. so an american detained in iran for years is on a hunger strike and calling for president biden to help him and other detainees. he's marking 7 years in captivity. correspondent kylie atwood joins us now with the latest on this. kylie, what have you learned? >> reporter: well, listen, the man is trying to do here what a lot of the other americans who have been wrongfully detained abroad, try to do. get the attention of the person that matters most and that's president biden. because they think that he is key to securing their release.
7:34 am
namazi, retained in iran for seven years is embarking on a hunger strike and calling on president biden to do everything in his power to bring him home. >> he feels desperate. and reaching out publicly to the u.s. president underscores that desperation. >> reporter: but he said the goal of his brother's letter to the president is to remind him of what happened seven years ago when biden was vice president. five americans wrongfully detained in iran returned home and he was left behind. >> it is just a horrific week. to think that 7 years, 7 whole years have gone by which could have been avoided. >> reporter: in his letter, he pleads for biden's attention saying all he wants is just a single minute of your time for each year of my life, i lost and in prison after the u.s. government could have saved me but didn't.
7:35 am
that is all. he remains in the notorious evan prison. there are also two other americans wrongfully detained by the iranian regime right now. the hardest question for him to answer is how are you doing? he writes to biden, quote, how do i explain the devastation my family and i have left with after so many half hearted prisoner deals crumbled last minute. turning freedom into chyme era. how do you convey not knowing when or how this nightmare will end or even what comes next. >> he's begging you and my family is imploring you, please take what it takes to make those courageous decisions that we node you're capable of. >> reporter: now, a spokesperson from the national security council told us it is outrageus that iran continued to detain people and they are working
7:36 am
tirelessly to bring home this man and two other americans who were wrongfully detained in iran. but we should note that u.s./iran relations are frankly in a very troubled moment right now. there are no diplomatic relations between two the countries but the biden administration has been highly critical of the iranian regimes violent crackdown on protesters in the country and any efforts to revive the iran nuclear deal with on the back burner for now. john. >> and we're talking about years in captivity. kylie atwood, thank you so much for this. along the lines of what kylie was talking about. the united kingdom has recalled its ambassador to iran for consultation as western nations continue to condemn tehran for executing ali raise acbarry after uk diplomat was summoned by the iran regime on saturday over downing street over unconventional interventions in

creek has been spilling over on to the highway and they are concerned that even though they pumped the water off of the road yesterday, that new rains could definitely bring that water back. we want to show you some images now from southern california where in san joaquin county there were about 175 people who evacuated from a mobile home park there. you could see some images and including a member of the sheriff's office with a backpack with a cat in it there. everybody trying to get their pets out. some of the places that we've seen flooding have experienced flooding off and on for last couple of weeks. so this is not the first time having to contend with this since new year's day. and then of course dangerous situations with laguna hills, officials have to rescue someone in a tree stranded there by a fast-moving creek. he to to bring her up -- lift her out to safety. orange county fire authority
7:44 am
sharing an image of rescuing a man yesterday who was stranded in the water. so, again, because there hasn't been as much rain this past weekend, as -- as there was for example over new year's weekend, that doesn't mean there is not a threat. it didn't take much rainfall for more flooding and more mudslides and land slides to happen. just because there is nowhere left for the water to go. so definitely very exasperated californians looking forward to a dresire part of the week late on. >> it might stop raining but the threat will remain for sometime. natasha chen, thank you for your reporting. in the wake of damar hamlin's terrifying on field emergency, we go behind the scenes to see how the nfl medical teams prepare for possible incidents before every single game. contestants s ready? go! only pay for what you need.

(co-worker 4) what are you doing this weekend? as we have seen in the nfl, keeping players safe is a job that requires both preparation and speed. first on cnn, dr. sanjay gupta got an up close look at every step the medical teams take before every nfl game even kicks off. >> when buffalo bills safety dam har hamlin went into cardiac arrest, the game stopped. but for the emergency response team, everything was just getting started. >> go over to the cot. i don't like how he went down. >> we need everybody. >> bring everybody. we need everybody.
7:50 am
bring the cot with the medics and get them out here. >> as rare as this all is, i'm going to explain the remarkable chain of events that came together to save damar hamlin's life. >> this is actually the eap for -- >> it started with this. >> what is the eap. >> it stands for emergency acplan. >> and that takes place for every day. >> it is any time or anyplace that players are go fog be active, there has to be an emergency action plan. >> the eap was followed to a letter that night. in that moment everyone knew what they needed to do and ahow to do it and felt the equipment to do it and felt comfortable. >> doctor allen sales is chef medical of the nfl. he's given me a sideline view of the preparedness that goes into every game day. and once you see this, you'll probably never watch a game the same way again. you may have missed this.
7:51 am
pop-up blue tent. it is on every sideline. >> it is like a medical exam room. now we've made this a medical space even in the middle of a very busy stadium. it is just so much easier to do things in here everybody is more relaxed and you don't have the cameras an the fans. >> or this, the injury review screen. >> so we could be down here on the sideline and the spotters booth, if they've seen an injury video, they'll cue it up for us and put on the video what we need to see and we could ask them to run it back. we could talk right there. >> the spotter's booth. they are the eyes in the sky. >> welcome. >> thank you. >> so this is another part of our game day medical preparations. and real goal of this booth is to help spot any injuries or illnesses on the field. it could be hard to see the whole field. >> right. >> probably one of the most unique things in sports is the spotter could directly communicate down to the referee. these people could stop the game.
7:52 am
>> so, we watch every play probably minimally four times and then we'll go back and watch it again. and so, we just want to make sure we don't miss anything. >> it is always about the right people, the right plan and the right equipment. we have 30 medical professionals an everybody has a job to do. >> e.r. doctors and paramedics and airway specialists like. >> justin deeton. >> this is the bag that i carry and it has a number of things that we could use. the first thing is a portable video scope. we have a portable ultrasound machine that we could use. and we also have the ability to perform surgical airways. i have all of the resources available here that i would have in an emergency room. >> what is the biggest challenge of that scenario versus being in an emergency room. >> the biggest challenge is the external environment and the chaos of the situation. when you have a larger than average size person that is laying flat on the ground and not able to be elevated to a
7:53 am
certain level, with extra equipment and plus cameras and other people around, those are really the things that make it more difficult to manage. >> how does everyone know you're the guy in charge? >> i wear a red hat on the sideline. when that signifies me at the emergency physician, the airway physician so the other team knows when i come out, what my role is. >> every game comes with new lessons. for example, on september 25th when tua tagovailoa stumbled after a hit. he was allowed back in the game. that won't happen again. >> no, we changed the protocol this year when you and i spoke to say if we see something that looks like a attack on video, they're also -- >> as the teams warm up, there is one final crucial step. >> any time i'm in the operating room we do a timeout. everyone stops what they're doing and make sure that everyone is on the same page.
7:54 am
this is the same thing that isp had aing behind me. it is called a 60-minute meeting, it happened 60 minutes before every game. the chance for the medical professionals who make sure they know who each other are and that who is going to do what if there is a crisis on the field. >> all right. so let's start with introductions so everybody is familiar with the medical staff here at the game. i'm kevin, head team physician and with the jaguars. >> just indeedon, airway management physician. >> justin is going to be on our 30 yard line. he's stands to our right. if a player goes down he won't know if it is orthopedic or internal medicine and step out on the field. our call sign is an x. if you need him to come out, he will come out with an x. all of the important equipment, airway, defibrillator is behind him on the side line. the ambulance is going to be in the tunnel to your right. if you need anything at all. we'll be out there you if need
7:55 am
us. otherwise, hope we have a safe and healthy game. good luck. >> the medical team was able to get to dam har am lynn within ten seconds and speed matters here. every additional minute that someone in cardiac arrest goes without cpr, mortality goes up by 10%. >> this is a process in place for every single game. and we train in the off-season and just like the players train and practice, we do as well. so i have tremendous confidence, but you always want to see a game with no injuries and you want everyone to frankly be bored on the medical side. that is a good game from my standpoint. >> i hear you. >> have to tell you, john, i have never seen anything like this. you watch football but all of the preparations going on, on the the side lines and the drills and they do the meetings, part of it is because the game was changed. the average lineman is 300 pounds and they could run a
7:56 am
40-yard dash in five seconds if. you get hit by someone it is like 1700 pounds of force hitting someone, like a ton of bricks and that is why the medical capabilities keep changing. >> i'm not good at math but it looks like it hurts when you get hit by someone that big. it is great seeing the inside look there and i have to say you look like a natural on the football field. thanks, sanjay. >> you got it, jim, thank you. thank you all for joining us today. i'm john berman.
