[woo hoo!] ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar and nutrients for immune health. good to have you along. i'm victor blackwell. welcome to cnn newsroom. president biden is facing renewed criticism and new questions today after the discovery of more classified
11:01 am
documents at his home in wilmington, delaware. this weekend the president's attorneys announced they five five additional pages of material on thursday evening. they found them t that the justice department announced a counsel to investigate the other material found at that home and in an office in washington, d.c. the white house said there are no logs of visitors to biden's home. james comer asked for those documents and answers from the white house. evan perez is following this for us. tell us more about these five pages. >> the white house says the five pages were turned over or discovered when the white house made arrangements and the president's personal lawyers made arrangements for the justice department to come and retrieve a one-page document they say they found in an office
11:02 am
adjacent to a garage at the wilmington home that they previously told us about. this timeline, this additional piece of detail told us also that the -- there's a white house counsel, a lawyer, who went to wilmington to try to facilitate turning over those documents. so, what this means, victor, is that you have additional witnesses that -- rob hurr, the new special counsel and the fbi will have to talk to. we now know that the white house and the president's personal lawyers allowed investigators to talk to a number of people who were involved in all of this. you know, it just seems like because of the messiness and the way they explained this, they now created new witnesses who will need to be talked to by investigators. of course, republicans view this as a huge problem of transparency. here's james comer, one of the chiefs of the oversight on the hill who is beginning to ask
11:03 am
these questions. >> we want to know the visitor logs to the residence. we want to know who had access to the president biden center for diplomacy. this is the same type of investigation that the democrats were so outraged and launched and demanded happen to president trump. we don't know exactly yet whether they broke the law or not. i will accuse the biden administration of not being transparent. >> victor, you heard there james comer asking for visitor logs, which the white house has already said don't exist because this is the president's personal residence. of course, the big outstanding questions at this point, victor, is are there more documents? are there additional places that need to be searched? and now that you have a special counsel doing this investigation, who does those searches? will you allow the president's lawyers to do additional searches or does the fbi need to
11:04 am
go in and conduct a thorough search to answer once and for all whether the government has back all of the documents that it needs to have. >> yeah. as you say, creating additional witnesses, additional questions. evan perez, thank you very much. the white house is playing damage control today. as that happened, president biden paid tribute to dr. martin luther king jr. he spoke at an event in d.c. and focused on what his administration accomplished to promote racial equality in america. arlette saenz is with us now. congressional republicans want more information about the documents including the request for these visitor logs, which the white housys thejust don't exist. >> yeah. the white house is facing so many questions regarding these classified documents as republicans vow to ramp up investigations into it. as for those visitor logs, the white house and secret service say they don't exist.
11:05 am
the white house counsel saying in a statement that as has been for previous presidents, the president's residence in wilmington, delaware is a personal one. secret service saying the details of who exactly is going into that home is not something that they keep record of. this all comes as there are mounting questions about the administration's handling of this classified document situation. as it with you revealed over the weekend, there were five additional pages of classified -- marked with classified markings found at the president's home in wilmington, delaware. one thing that the president's personal attorney has been stressing is that they are limited in what they can share. they are saying they can't share as much information as the investigation is still ongoing. he also left the door open to the possibility that there could be more classified documents in the possession of the government at this moment than the counsel has previously said. that's because, as he described, the lawyers did not look through all of these materials once they stumbled upon that in the
11:06 am
residence. bob bauer saying in a statement whenever a document bearing classified markings was identified, the search was suspended. the potentially classified material left in place as found. the government was then properly notified. it's for this reason that the president's personal attorneys do not know the precise number of pains in thethe -- pages in material, nor have they reviewed the content of the documents, consistent with standard procedures and requirements. today, president biden spoke at an event commemorating dr. martin luther king, jr. >> we have a lot of unfinished work to do. a lot of unfinished work. we have to build on it and defend our process, because this new congress -- this new
11:07 am
congress -- look, i know i get criticized from some of you, folks in our party, my party, but i'm ready to work with the new republican house or any republican to make progress for the people of america. >> one of the issues that the white house will be grappling with in the coming months is the issue of the debt ceiling and raising that debt ceiling with fights expected to ensue with congress and republicans up on capitol hill. bottom line, the white house is hoping that this issue of the classified documents, even as the investigation is under way, that it won't overshadow the other work they're trying to do. at the moment it appears the classified document saga dominated so much of the conversation. >> thank you. christian morethy of illinois is with us right now. congressman, thank you for your time. let's start with the request for
11:08 am
the visitor logs, which the white house counsel says does not exist for the wilmington home. the secret service says they don't keep logs of that. how relevant to you think the list of visitors to this home where classified documents have been discovered, how relevant do you think that is to the committee's investigation? >> it may be relevant, but i have to say mr. comer -- he has not requested similar logs with regard to president trump's residencies. i think at the end of the day, victor, we have to kind of go bigger here. there's an issue with regard to mishandling classified documents. we have to fish out how to prevent that from happening again. >> i think both parties would agree that this issue of handling classified documents, the american people certainly now with a third election cycle where there is some investigation, we're going into
11:09 am
2024 of the handling of classified information, they want answers about how those at the highest levels handle it. let's listen to democratic assistant leader here, congressman james clyburn on what he thinks the threshold for cooperation should be. >> let me ask you this, do you think biden and the white house should cooperate with the house investigation that is promised to be launched against him? >> to the extent that the house investigates trump, i think this white house should respond accordingly. >> do you agree with that, that the biden white house should only cooperate insofar as the committee investigates former president trump? >> well, i -- i think that the
11:10 am
biden white house will cooperate with the investigation, and they need to be forthcoming to the extent that the requests are legitimate. of course, there are big -- >> what determines a legitimate request, congressman? >> i think that anything that goes to, you know, how do we prevent this from happening again? that is really the biggest issue, which is, you know, repeatedly between the trump and the biden white houses, classified documents are not handled appropriately. i'm a member of the intelligence committee, one reason that i think members of congress don't have that similar issue is that the control of these classified documents is retained tightly by the intelligence community and we only review these documents in classified spaces, nowhere else. that's something that has to be looked a the going forward. >> i don't know if you were listening to the top of the show and heard evan perez's report, but the additional five pages now that have been discovered on
11:11 am
thursday evening after we were told that that search of wilmington was stopped after the last page in the morning was reported. have the white house, the president, his personal attorneys bungled the messaging of this with the drip, drip, drip of disclosure? >> i don't know. i think they need to be forthcoming now and transparent about everything they have in their possession. i think that they should not follow the tact of president trump who refused to turn over hundreds of classified documents after he was notified. that's why it brings up the issue of criminality. with regard to criminality, it's about intention. you have an intent to remove, do you have an intent to conceal documents in unauthorized spaces? there's no evidence of such intent with regard to president biden. >> should that not be the work
11:12 am
of the committee? two questions ago, you said the scope -- i'm paraphrasing here -- should be how to prevent this from happening again. should the committee, the oversight and now accountability committee not get to the question of intent as well in this investigation? >> i think if it properly bears on their investigation, yes. but the bigger issue we're seeing over and of again is preventing this from happening again. right now is the time to figure that out. we see it's happened on multiple occasions with different administrations. >> all right. one more. let's switch to the debt ceiling now. a couple days out now from the u.s. reaching the debt ceiling, that's going to happen on thursday, according to the treasury secretary, the extraordinary measures now go into place to avoid default, push comes to shove in june, that's the point where the u.s. will have to default if there's no increase in the debt limit.
11:13 am
republicans say there has to be spending cuts. the white house says no negotiations, no concessions. are you willing to negotiate? the president says he wants to work with republicans. do you think there can be some negotiations on concessions on spending cuts to avoid calamity? >> i don't think it should be connected to the debt ceiling. i know kevin mccarthy agreed that he would not raise the debt ceiling unless he extracts spending cuts. but, you know, if we don't raise the debt ceiling, we go into def default. only one default is enough to nuke the economy. we can't have 15 defaults mirroring the 15 speaker votes for him to do what's right. as dr. king said, the time is right to always do what's right. today we have to do what's right, raise the debt ceiling and then deal with the other issues of spending and do it in a proper, regular order.

11:22 am
half mile off campus, an area known as the strip. they found a young woman dead inside of a vehicle, the result of a gunshot wound. the driver says two suspects opened fire after some words were exchanged. as a result of that, the driver said he fired back. meanwhile, one of the two suspects was reportedly hit, but non-life-threatening injuries. police were able to identify the two suspects which now include darius myles and 20-year-old michael lynn davis, a 20-year-old who is also from the washington, d.c. area. as to why? here's the spokesperson with the sheriff's department. >> at this time, it appears the only motive to this was a minor altercation that these individuals had with the victim as they were out on the strip. >> it seems as if it was a
11:23 am
split-second of bad decisionmaking that has now led to a lifetime of tragedy and heartbreak for a number of families. capital murder is the most serious charge in the state of alabama. >> martin savidge, thank you. the buffalo bills will play the cincinnati bengals next week for the first time since damar hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field. cincinnati beat the baltimore ravens. buffalo edged past the dolphins. hamlin visited the team's facilities in orchard park, new york ahead of the game. matt milano posted this photo of hamlin smiling with the team. hamlin tweeted my heart is with my guys as they compete today. nothing i want more to be out there with them. the 24-year-old safety was initially hospitalized in cincinnati but was transferred

. a new survey on the chances that we'll slide into a global recession shows 63% of chief economists think it's likely to happen this year. and the regions where the most economists think growth will be weak or very weak, the u.s. and europe. richard quest is with me now from the world economic forum in davos, switzerland. good to see you. what's driving this? >> what's driving it, of course, is the higher interest rates. what you are seeing in those numbers is the patient, the u.s. economy, the patient is responding to the medicine that has been given by the central bank, the fed. if you raise interest rates at the race that the fed has, you better believe there's going to be an effect. that effect is a slowing down. now, you know, there's a great economic debate at the moment, will they or won't they slip into recession? i happen to think it's a moot
11:30 am
debate because, victor, to people watching, there's very little difference between growing by 0.2 and contracting by 0.2. unemployment will still go up and it's still going to feel really slow and sludgy. it's going to remain that way. the idea of a u.s. recession, if it happens, will be the second and third quarter of this year. >> what's the expectation beyond the u.s., beyond europe? >> okay. so, really fascinating. you have china coming back into the game. they contracted at the end of last year, now it's reopening, even with all the covid. china becomes an engine of growth. as for elsewhere, you have the gulf region with the oil revenues, saudi where they have huge amounts of money. you have different parts of the world. but the truth is the developing world, victor, the emerging economies are really going to feel is very, very badly.
11:31 am
they don't have the safety nets -- social safety nets of the u.s. or the eu or the uk. in those countries, here there is great concern, increased poverty, health risks, malnutrition, all the sorts of things -- yes, eventually leading to political instability, the sorts you've seen in south america. these are realistic possibilities and probabilities when major economies go into recession. >> all right. subject of conversation where you are right there in davos. thank you. tiktok is now banned from all government devices in kentucky. the restriction was laid out in an updated employee handbook. the popular app continues to be the target of criticism for its ties to china and potential security risks. kentucky is one of 30 states that proposed restrictions of tiktok on government devices

dry january has been growing in popularity since is began about a decade ago. according to cga, more than one-third of u.s. adults took part in 2022. if you are one of them, this may be a good time to rethink how much you drink from here on out. elizabeth cohen joins us now. there's a new relevant study out. what does it say? >> so, this study is so interesting. what researchers at the cdc said of all the deaths in the united states, how many are attributable to excess alcohol consumption, so they looked at drunk driving incidents, and cancer and heart disease where alcohol may have played a role. they said if you looked at deaths of people between 20 and 49, 1 in 5 of them could be attributed to excess alcohol. ages 20 to 64, sort of a bigger age group, 1 in 8 deaths were
11:33 am
attributable to excess alcohol. you might wonder what is excess. let's look at what the cdc says is moderate alcohol intake. so what they say is for men, it's no more than two drinks a day. for women, it's no more than one drink a day. that's what they call moderate. that's not excessive, that's what they would call moderate intake. victor, i want to make a note here, you can't average these all out. you can't, you know, abstain from alcohol all week and on saturday night drink seven drinks at once. that has binge drinking and has health problems of its own. >> two a day is moderate. good to know. >> i know. it's surprising. it seems like a lot, but that's moderate. >> seems heavy. okay. let's turn to new reports concerning the pfizer covid booster. cdc says one of its monitoring systems detected a possible
11:34 am
increase in strokes in those 65 and older. tell us about it. >> the cdc and fda are sensitive about collecting information on side effects to vaccines. they want to be sensitive. they want to catch everything because they're giving vaccines to a lot of people. so, what they do is they set up these systems. one of the systems said, wait a second, we may be seeing that senior citizens are having more strokes in the three weeks after they get the shot. then they looked at other systems they have, systems that the veterans administration has, medicare, they said we're not seeing it here. here's what they concluded. they say the totality of all of the data currently suggests that it is very unlikely that the signal found in that first database represents a true clinical risk. that's a fancy way of saying we saw something, we looked into it, it's very unlikely to be real. it's very unlikely to be a problem and the cdc is still saying senior citizens go ahead
11:35 am
and everybody actually, but senior citizens in this situation, go ahead and get your covid booster. they've been available since september. victor? >> maybe just a glitch or an anomaly there. thank you. police reveal some chilling details in the stabbing of an indiana state university student. investigators say the attack was racially motivated. more coming up. a mystery! jessie loves playing detective. but the real mystery was her irritated skin. so, we switched to tide ds free & gentle. it cleans better, and doesn't ave behind iitating residues. and it's gentle on her skin. case, cled! it's gotta be tide.

11:40 am
at least 46 people are still missing. saturday's missile strike is one of the deadliest single attacks since the start of the war. fred pleitgen has more from dnipro. >> reporter: the morning brings to light the full extent of the destruction. the residential building home to dozens of families annihilated down to the foundation. even though rescue workers still work, the chances of finding anyone now is zero. all night residents watched in fear, anger and grief. ola says she passed by the building about a half hour before it was hit. there are many friends and people close to me here, many, many, she says. alana stunned by the destruction curses the russians. i simply hate them. children, people died here. many.
11:41 am
she can't speak anymore. throughout the night, the death toll continued to jump. on top of the many killed, ukrainian authorities say dozens were injured, many of them children. in just this location in dnipro, one of many sites in ukraine russia targeted with barrages of missiles this weekend. the ukrainians say the reason why the damage here is so extensive is this building was hit with a cruise missile designed to destroy aircraft carrier strike groups. when it hit the building, it annihilated it burying dozens of people underneath. the ukrainians call the attack state terrorism and the president says rescuers will try to save anyone trapped here. let's fight for every person, president zelenskyy says. the rescue operation will last as long as there's the slightest chance to save a life.
11:42 am
even the slightest hope has now all but died and this is essentially a recovery operation. the crews searching for bodies where so many lives were violently ended in an instant. >> after the attack, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy asked for more weapons from the west. the uk and poland announced plans to provide tanks to ukraine and ukrainian soldiers are expected to start training on the patriot missile system offered by the u.s. orrin lieberman joins us now. when will the weapons actually be delivered to ukraine? >> unfortunately the short answer to that question is simply not yet. we see a clear willingness from the u.s., the uk, poland and others to send in more advanced, powerful weaponry. here's a list of some of that weaponry we've seen over the past couple of days. the uk announcing it will send its challenger 2 tanks. poland saying it wants to send
11:43 am
its leopard tanks, that's waiting on german approval and the u.s. is beginning patriot missile training. inherent to this is training on more complex systems and that will take time. that's the real holdup here and the question of how this can happen on different systems here. a uk system, a german system and an american system. it's not just how to operate it, it's how to maintain this. it could be weeks or longer, a period of months until this arrives on the battlefield and the u.s. and others are looking to make the changes they expect. as for the patriot training, here's what we know right now. it's set to begin this week in oklahoma, that's where the u.s. conducts its own training on patriot missiles. the ukrainians have arrived to begin that training. the question of how long it will take. pentagon officials say several months. they will try to shorten it in any way they can so the patriot can arrive on the battlefield as

quickly as possible. they're not putting a date on it yet, first, because they don't know how much they can shorten training and they don't want the russians to know when the patriot missile system will arrive. it will be a long-range air defense option to add to the air defense systems they have. it's because of that attack on dnipro the need for the u.s. to send this in and the growing willingness to send in more advanced and powerful systems for offense and for defense. >> thank you. peter zwack is joining me now. general, good to see you again. let's start with this massive attack, the deadliest -- one of the deadliest since the start of this war, more than 40 dead, more than 40 missing, even more injured. do you think this attack was strategic or sporadic, scatter shot?
11:45 am
>> thank you, victor. i think that if we take in the full aggregate look, it is another vicious example of the wholesale mayhem that the russians are dishing out on a land that they have invaded. we must never forget that. they invaded, unprovoked, and they continue as put to me to be killing people and breaking things. yes, ostensibly we'll hear, yes, they were going for a power station, but no, you just had an apartment complex blown up with 50 or 60 probably dead and countless, hundreds, thousands killed across the country. so i think there is an aspect that is strategic in that the
11:46 am
russians want to -- i use this medieval term -- ukrainians submit. and the ukrainians won't. the more the russians do this and the viciousness and, by the way, they dig themselves into a hole in the world as well as a black cat, but they are -- i think it's psychological in part, but like the british during the blitz, i think the ukrainians will stay hard and then they are going for the power stations. but that is -- that is also more strategic. but the bottom line, they're hit hitting a defenseless population and it has to stop, which is why more help needs to go to ukraine. >> let's talk about the help. you said it's time to go all in on providing weapons to ukraine. we reported on the tanks coming from poland, the uk, patriot
11:47 am
missile systems from the u.s. should there be more, a different type or style of weaponry sent? >> i think we're rapidly getting to the time where the ukrainians need more tactical air support. they need to be able to reach out deeper with the artillery systems like, you know, like we have -- the very, very effective himars, there's even longer range. on the ground, mano e mano fighting, tank by tank in donetsk and elsewhere. this is good, by the way, what the british and germans have done and the french with their amx10 and we're coming up with the bradley. it's a start, it's a mark on the wall, but they'll need much more. it needs to come fast, victor. the russians, i think, are trying to in this awful fight
11:48 am
around bakhmut, it may be a problem for the ukrainians to build the forces to make a counter offensive. the business in belarus, about belarussian inexercises, it maye a risk but also a massive diversion to distract large ukrainian forces from finishing off, if you will, the other battle fronts in donetsk and to the south. >> let me ask you about the joint aviation drills that are happening between belarus and russia. you said it could be a diversion, since the start of the war since february, there was a question, will we see belarus fighters on the ground or in the air? do you think there will come a time when we'll see them cross the border and join the fight in that way? >> i think that if the -- i'll
11:49 am
say this, victor, flat out to you and your audience. i think that the belarussian strong man, victor lukashenko has been playing a game with the russians ~. yes, he's all in. he's their ally. he marches to putin's drum. but he also knows and remembers just in 2020 the massive protests and you reported on it heavily in belarus when the election got grabbed. tens of thousands of young belarussians went out into the streets and it looked like it might have fallen but it didn't. here's the point, that -- a lot of those guys are now draftees in the belarussian army. if they go in or the air force goes in, it could create a meltdown within the army in certainly ukraine, maybe in belarus and lead to a meltdown
11:50 am
of the population as occurred in 2020 in belarus. so i think it's a high-risk game for the belarussian strong man to commit forces to an invasion. he's been letting the russians use it as a staging area. it's a dangerous game. but the capability is there. >> brigadier general peter zwack, thank you. californians are again facing more rain, more flooding. next, when the storm-battered state could finally catch a break. whoo! we gotta go again. only pay for what you need. ♪liberty libertrty liberty♪ ♪liberty♪ let me tell you about the greatest roster ever assembled. the monster, the outlaw... and you can't forget abt the boss. it wasn't just roster. it was a menu. the subway series. the greatest menu of all te.

11:56 am
away, went to the hospital. it's unclear, her condition at this point, but we know that then davis got off the bus and authorities were able to arrest her, and according to the charging documents, when police were questioning her, she flatout told them, she conducted -- did this because that victim was asian and that she, quote, it would be one less person to blow up our country. that's what she told authorities. of course, now she is facing a number of charges including attempted murder, but the campus, you know, just riveting -- not riveting, just so upset about this as you can imagine, sending out statements that we stand with our community. colleague, students and neighbor, we stand firmly with you. also saying they're getting so many cards and prayers. people really coming together about this. this is not something, again, that we hear often in these smaller communities on a campus, and here we are. >> awful it's happening. we talked about it here in new york and across the country, and it seems like this is spreading
