9:00 pm
>> good evening. on a day that brian walshe was arraigned, we learned in horrifying detail what prosecutors say he did her and the online research they say he did on how. this includes, in the space of less than one hour, searches for quote, how to stop a body from decomposing. how to embalm a body. ken ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to. ana walshe is the mother of their three young children. she's been missing since the
9:01 pm
new year. today, the courtroom prosecutors laid out what they believe her husband did her. jason carroll now joins us with the latest to talk about the arraignment. did the prosecutor provide any explanation or motive? >> anderson, he talked about some of those searches there. if you're talking about motive, i would direct you to some of those searches. two in particular that walshe allegedly made. one had to do with divorcing. what is the best date for a man to get a diverse. he searched that. the other was about inheritance. when is the best time in order to get an inheritance after someone has disappeared. >> brian walshe dismembered ana walshe and escorted the body. >> showing new details revealed in cold by prosecutors, describing the evidence against a massachusetts father, allegedly murdered his wife and try to cover it up. brian walshe in custody since january 8th when he was charged with misleading investigators searching for his wife.
9:02 pm
he was in court for the arraignment wednesday and formally charged with ana walshe's murder. the prosecution laid out some of the disturbing evidence against walls. saying he used his sons ipad to make numerous online searches in the days before and after ana walshe disappeared. >> on december 27th, the defendant, what is the best state to -- he searched, how long before a body starts to smell. at 4:58 am, how to stop the body from decomposing. >> a not guilty plea was entered for walshe who said little in court. only shook his head once as more of his alleged searches came to light. >> at 5:28, he searched, how to get rid of a body. 5:47 am, ten ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to.
9:03 pm
at 6:25 am on the first, how long for someone to be missing to inherit. >> prosecutors say ana's employer, a d. c. real estate firm, was the first to report her missing when she can show up on january 4th. that is when police went to the walshe's home for a while being checked. >> there is that this time repoe missing. >> during the course of the investigation, police found ten trash bags from a dumpster and trash facility. items including towels, rags, slippers, tape, gloves, cleaning agent, a covid vaccine card with ana walshe's name on it, a hatchet, and a hacksaw. they also discovered personal items including a portion of the necklace believed to have been worn by ana walshe in several photos. tests of some of the items by the state crime lab determine the presence of dna from both ana and brian walshe. after the arraignment, tracey
9:04 pm
minor called out prosecutors for leaks in the case, saying in a statement that read, in my experience where as here, the prosecution leaks evidence to the press before the provided to me, their case isn't that strong. he also said, it is easy to charge a crime and even easier to say a person committed a crime. is much more difficult to prove it, which we will see if the prosecution can do. >> prosecutors also released new details about surveillance video in the state of the car that brian walsh had. >> they did, prosecutors say that a figure fitting if her walshe's description was seen on surveillance cameras trying to dump something into a dumpster. they also say that a blood was they also say that a blood was found in walshe's a car parked
9:05 pm
or the house. despite all the evidence that the prosecution says that they have in their hands, they also point out that some of the trash bags that walshe i got rid of, they feel that whatever was in those trash bags was incinerated before they could get their hands on it. >> jason carroll, appreciate it. what will go into trying it. joining us for that, former deputy commissioner of counterterrorism with the new york police department. also from the fbi, mary o'toole. criminal defense attorney mark o'mara. jonathan, there's so much disturbing evidence laid out in court today. i just have to say, these internet searches are incredible. from 4:55 a. m., how lon g before body starts to smell. one away pm, what happens when you put body parts in ammonia. even the next day, more questions about -- two days later, january 3rd, can baking soda mask or make a body smell good? what happens to her on that body? this is incriminating.
9:06 pm
>> it is extraordinarily incriminating. it certainly goes far beyond the probable cause that they would've needed to establish in court today to bring the charge. but it is not all they know. it is not all they're going to know. investigation is still very active right now. what you do see though is, the fragrance of evidence that will come together. you see two fragments of a motive. one is a search on the 27th with -- she disappears about the first, isn't reported until the fourth. on the 27th, he asked, what is the best day for divorce. and then shortly after they believe she was murdered, this question is, how long after death can you inherit? >> that question is, that is a 6:25 am on 21st. that is right after he has searched ten ways to dispose of a good body if you really need to. then allegedly he searches, how
9:07 pm
long for someone to be missing to inherit. then after that, 11 minutes later, can you throw a body parts? >> what you see here, anderson, is really telling. there is a couple of ways to do this. mary ellen o'toole is the expert, but you have the organized defender, the disorganized offender. the organized offender would've planned all of this out ahead of time. and then executed the murder, then set into motion his plan to cover it up. it looks like the murder was spontaneous. the plan covered up seems to follow the murder within moments. it doesn't seem that he planned ahead for the killing. it seems that he began playing out for the cover-up after the fact. >> mary ellen, you reported on the searches that we are talking about. what stood out to you in court today? >> well, a couple of things obviously. the searchers did not appear to
9:08 pm
be idle searches. it would be difficult to say in court, well i was just curious about this. if you are a forensic science student, it would be easier to explain why you would ask those kinds of questions because you are research-ing that. on the other hand, the searches were supported by going to stores and making purchases. and then they are supported by evidence that is found by csi people. they found the blood, they found other items of evidence. the searchers cannot stand by themselves as being idle. i think that is number one, very important. one of the most compelling search is, for me, was when there was a search regarding the teeth. can teeth be significant in identifying someone? that is very specific compared to the other searches. the first consideration that i had was, if the body were found, would there have been damaged heath? that was more than just, how do you do it, but with specificity. >> i was looking, that searches on january 2nd according to
9:09 pm
authorities, at 1:14 pm. >> can you identify a body with broken teeth? it is a very specific, so disturbing to think about. mark, walshe's defense attorney say the prosecution isn't strong. as a criminal defense attorney, do you agree? >> what she said was, don't tell media before you give to me. look, the discovery hasn't begun. i will give this purdue. feeling she could say is, let's do this in court, not in the media. how dare you give it out before i get it in the normal course of business? that is the only thing that you could say. don't forget, a defense attorney at this point has to say very little. they have no idea yet what the defense is going to be. they don't know the true strength of the case or where they might fit litigation or
9:10 pm
defense into. cheated all she can say which is, lay the foundation for stop telling the media, only tell me. >> correct me if i'm wrong, they weren't leaking this out, this was in court documents. >> there are a couple of things that came out before they came out in court documents. on cnn, we broke the story about google searches. but, the major information came out in the first affidavit in support of the arrest for misleading the police. and then the rest of it, the stuff we're talking about tonight, came out in these public documents filed with the court, turned over to the defense. i think the counselor is right. she is doing her job, which is, she has to stand up and say, my client is innocent, and throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. >> mary ellen, watching him, do you read much into watching a defendant in a courtroom, how people to react?
9:11 pm
things you can't necessarily judge how so duty behaves in public eye, guess. it was just fascinating to watch him listening as prosecutors or listening these google searches, reading out the timeline of information that they had. >> well, absolutely, there was a noted absence of emotion. there is no response, no indication that their feelings of sadness or remorse, or guilt, it was just a very blank look. the eyes were just without any kind of death to them. the only time that there was a little bit of movement was when it was brought up about the search for the inheritance. then his eyes kind of want t o decide. i think that was very profound. there are many offenders that don't realize that they come across that way. that may be the case here because we are dealing with somebody that may be devoid of a lot of emotions. >> given the amount of evidence
9:12 pm
that is been laid out so far, how likely is it that this case goes to trial? >> in my opinion, most cases don't. even the high publicity once. the idea seems to be leaning towards, it wasn't well planned, as john said, this was not an organized thing. this is very disorganized. this plan to cover up -- now we're looking at second-degree. then we are looking at second-degree with some excuse of litigation. the thought is, yet with the prosecutor once the case is as strong as it seems to be and work something out to get this guy a potential for parole. maybe even something less than second-degree if there is mental health mitigations. my thought is, this will probably not end up in trial where the risk is that a life sentence will have been. try to work something out once you've crossed your t's and dotting your eyes. >> mark, mary ellen o'toole is out. a quick reminder, we'll be doing the next hour to what happened to anna. very eleanor tool, joining us,
9:13 pm
including forensic fight scientist for a closer look at the aspects of this case. that is coming up at 9 pm eastern. next for us, this hour, the white house has a new strategy for getting ahead of the classified document story. the former presidents attempts to minimize his own problem, right down to calling fbi agents quote, the gestapo. kaitlan collins joined me for that. later, the newest allegation against george santos from a veteran who says that santos promised to raise money for lifesaving surgery for his dog. then he says he made off with thousands. see what the congressman is saying about the allegations ahead.

national university. supporting the whole you. >> after a week of revelations the naming of a special counsel of the biden administration appears to have settled on a strategy. also today, the former president has cooked up a new strategy of his own. an argument for why in his words, i did nothing wrong, joe did. we talk about that in a minute. first, the current president, the new white house strategy, what we learned? >> no question, the ruling disclosures and new discoveries of classified documents last week ripping the white house in terms of its ability to put out a coherent message and focus on the agenda. the president has wanted to talk about it. that is where things have been different this week up to this point, a somewhat steadied operation as they focus on the things that they made clear that they are going to continue to focus on throughout the course of this investigation. first and foremost, it is the
9:18 pm
presidents agenda itself. the schedule, remains unchanged, traveling to california tomorrow to visit storm hit areas. meeting with world leaders, talking about his agenda, that is not changed at all. there is also very clear attacks and efforts to draw contrast with house republicans. they have long been the foil for this white house. they certainly have been elevated as such since they took the majority. over the course of the last three days, there has been a steady and intense focus on calling out republicans, particularly those of u.s. hypocritical when compared to president biden's predecessor's own issues with classified documents. one thing you want to hear, anderson, is any new details, any answers to questions that remain unanswered to this point. that is not a shift, but it is also very intentional in terms of what you are going to hear. take a listen. >> from this point on, are you not going to be taking questions about the classified documents? >> i've been very clear over and over again. we are going to be prudent here. we are going to be consistent. this particular matter is being looked at. there is a legal process
9:19 pm
currently happening at the department justice. i am going to refer you to the department justice on any specifics to this particular case. and anything that has to deal with our, what we are doing here. i refer to the white house counsel's office. >> anderson, there will be no engagement, there will be no answers to unanswered questions. lawyers have made clear it is not a smart idea, particularly with an investigation that they simply don't have a lot of insight into, either in time horizon or in terms of what it will entail in the weeks ahead. >> this is what they see in public match what they're saying behind the scenes? how do you feel but how this is unfolding? >> it is worth noting that the vast majority of white house officials have no knowledge of this. over the course of the nearly two months of review. most of them have no involvement in it at this moment in time. for those officials, this is a matter of trying to keep your heads down and keep doing the
9:20 pm
work that they long planned. this was viewed as a very critical couple of months ahead, the president considering reelection, but also the presidents agenda, something that they want to highlight, focus on and really elevate over the course of the months ahead. that is not changing at this point. officials believe, at least based on what they know, this will all end up showing that they did the right thing, however discombobulated it appeared. obviously, the special counsel, -- >> that is one thing i've been told by several people. it is not something that is on the table. the president doesn't blame his team for what happened, it may have appeared publicly to be disjointed at times, to be on the back foot at times. the president believes what his lawyers have done, both personally and in the white house counsel's office have been what was necessary for a legal perspective. in a legal perspective, it is by far the most important thing. as one official said a couple
9:21 pm
of days ago to me, short term pain might be necessary at this point. as long this ends up in a resolution that we want to see. this will all that out in a good place. >> phil mattingly, appreciate it. the former president who in a series of postings managed to misstate the facts of his case again suggesting the fbi planted evidence and called fbi agents the gestapo. just remind you, more than 300 classified documents have been recovered from mar-a-lago. in today's post, the president does not say that he did not take any, but he suggests that he only took the empty folders they came in. quoting now, remember these were just ordinary inexpensive folders with various words printed on them. but they were a cool keepsake. perhaps the gestapo took some of these empty folders when they raided mar-a-lago encounter them as documents which they are not. it is also possible that the trump hitting marxist thugs in charge will plant documents while they are in possession of the material. he ends by saying quote, i did nothing wrong, joe did. joining us now is chief correspondent co-anchor -- senior political correspondent. i don't want this point, but it is startling for me to hear a former president of united states calling fbi agents gestapo and suggesting that they planted things against the former president. >> it's normal for him, but not normal.
9:22 pm
one of the things that was really striking about that sentence is a, it is straight out of the playbook, his mentor and former lawyer. >> who is immensely sleazy and horrible. >> and known for ruthless burr knuckle tactics, slamming people who he was against. making not see references, it is also really strange to describe someone as both a not see any marks in one sentence. but that is a whole another issue. i do think that what he is saying here is something that i've been hearing from people around him, who have been talking to him for the last couple of days. they're trying to minimize his scandal. and suggests that joe biden is
9:23 pm
not the real problem. this is something miniscule trump. it is just not true. the sheer volume in terms of what trump had versus what we know so far, that biden had, it is not all the same. the big difference, anderson, is the obstructive nature of how dome him build it. i think that can't get lost here. >> by the way, that nature, there are continued fights between trump lawyers and those looking for documents. >> very much so. this post is coming in the context as they are still in a dispute with the justice department. trump's legal team, over whether not he may still have classified documents, whether everything has been turned over.
9:24 pm
they've still come back to one of his custodians all the records recently and had him a test twice that they turned everything over. that suggests that they don't believe that they've turned everything over. it is interesting to me that they -- that he is zeroing in on the empty folders. there's 48 of them i think, the fbi said that they were found when they conducted that search of mar-a-lago. that is among the hundreds of classified documents were found. those were folders that were marked as classified, but there were empty. they raised questions with the judge in recent months, the other need to be an investigation to where that material went, was it lost? was it stolen? was there something in there that they now pick up? because it wasn't enough older. it is interesting to me that he is zeroing in on the empty folders when it is not really something that he has talked about recently. it makes me question what is happening behind closed doors and what kind of questions these prosecutors, these investigators are asking about this. >> he's responding to something that we are not seeing. >> what does that mean to you? >> it means that there are some issue that the justice department is raised about these folders, that they have zeroed in on them. we do know that there are
9:25 pm
looking for repeated statements from his team in terms of not just the custodian records, but the justice department also wants -- a judge said this should be turned over. they want to be able to interview people who did the more recent searches of his these properties and found additional stuff. that is part of what they did. >> the most obvious explanation of classified folders is that they were once classified documents in those folders as opposed to, he just really liked the writing on the folders themselves. >> he may have liked the writing on the folders, i'm sure there is some aspect of it that he found cool and okay. but there are protocols for how these boulders are supposed to be handled in the white house. i've never heard, i don't think you've ever heard, people who are grieving him would like sure, just go ahead and take this. i've never heard that before. but what i do know is that people who believe him sometimes feel pressured by him when he wanted to keep something. it was difficult to say no to the president of the united states, but never heard this thing about empty folders. >> the trump circle, or they're still making the argument that he had the magic ability to just declassify all of these? >> one thing they're driving home, and we will see how this plays out, i'm still deeply skeptical, i'm sure maggie is as well as well as our other senior reporters. they think this documents
9:26 pm
investigation is going to greatly help them. it is essentially -- >> it has already. >> it helps them in the sense that they're trying to muddy the waters, you see trump trying to draw the distinction there, saying that the people who are drawing the distinction in terms of cooperation or wrong. legally the, we don't actually know. the obstruction and what, if there is obstruction, what trump's mindset was. that is what really matters. i will say, i heard today on those two people who search, i hear they've not been interviewed, they are still seeking to do so. we will see how that ultimately resolves itself. it was interesting to me that steve scalise either minimalistic when he said that the u.n. officials had leaked photographs of the documents laid out on the floor. they were leaked out, they were court documents. >> first of all, we live in this moment in time where everything is -- something was improperly disseminated, you are correct, it was part of a court filing. the doj has been very upfront in its court filings and really specific on a lot of points because the trump team had been putting out so much stuff. >> it was a mistake, i thought he would've corrected himself. i don't know if he has. kaitlan collins, thank you so much. out next, the outrageousness of george santos, match only by the newest allegations. the central steal thousands of dollars to save the life of a u.s. navy veteran stop? what santos and veteran are telling cnn now.
