republican candidate for state office in new mexico. he's not a clear election denier who claim that his own race was rigged. he was in court today, accused of masterminding a series of shootings that targeted the homes of elected democrats. the arrest warrant for pena detail the conspiracy he allegedly orchestrated to quote, cause death and serious injury to democratic officials. there are disturbing new details tonight, including what police say was found in a car that was registered to pena, driven by one of his alleged coconspirators. fentanyl, nearly 900 bills, as well as more than $3,000 in cash and two firearms of and mitch mission. plus, in another story, the question many are asking is, how low can someone go? or allegedly go. the navy veteran now says that congressman george santos promised to raise funds for lifesaving surgery for his cancer stricken dog back in

2016. before he was elected to congress. but then, he took off with the money. santos, for his part, denies the story. we have his response for you tonight. and there are new details tonight about what investigators found when they searched the home of the alleged killer of four college students in idaho. and what it could all mean for the case. i'm get right to the court appearance today. that losing republican candidate who is charged in connection with shootings at homes of new mexico democrats based on his grievances for having lost. joining me, the top law enforcement official in new mexico. attorney general torres. nice to see you, thanks for coming. >> thanks for having me, laura. >> is a truly disturbing case. many people are looking at it scratching their heads in part, but also thinking, is this the result of what happens when you

have got election denialism or what do you think that you are entitled to a certain result. this is not a case that you are personally prosecuting as attorney general, but the accusations here that he engaged in this behavior, talk me more broadly about what this means for the people of your state and how they view this whole process. >> well, the first thing i would say is, we are extraordinarily lucky for the swift and very dedicated work of local law enforcement, our partners at the fbi. i have been in contact with them and the chief of police. they did an extraordinary job to really hone in and identify mr. pena and his associates as quick as they did. and then get them on custody. i think the larger lesson for all of us is, really what happens when you have somebody who is so clearly susceptible to paranoid conspiracy theories and election denialism. the kind of rhetoric that we have seen all across this country when it comes to having political disagreements.

we no longer are in a place where we treat each other as people that have a difference of political opinion. 14 people are starting to look at fellow citizens and elected officials as potential enemies. i think this is really taking us down a very dark and dangerous path. it is something that we have to be mindful of. we have to take very serious security precautions in terms of how we manage the private information of elected officials. but also, see what we can do to moderate the kind of speech, the kind of rhetoric that is used. i think -- and others across the country. >> it is so important to think about how, well can often begin as rhetoric more broadly can become marching orders for others. i wonder, you are the top prosecutor in your state, but i do wonder, what will the role be that you will play in this case. is it something that is overseeing this particular prosecution because it has some connotations to it, or is this a role for someone else within your jurisdiction?

>> so, the case is currently being handled by my successor before being elected to attorney general. i was actually the district attorney here in albuquerque. the new district attorney and i have had a conversation. he has got resources dedicated to it and i have also been in touch with all federal partners. what we are going to be doing is providing both investigative report and prosecutorial support in examining the outstanding questions about mr. pena's with finance laws. we've been asked to take a look at that and offer our association of the assessment on those issues. the idea here is to bring about the swiftest and frankly the most severe response that law enforcement can bring. my hope is that the u.s. attorney here and the department of justice will take a close look to see if there is

the possibility of bringing federal charges, not only for the weapons that are used, but potentially for domestic terrorism. this, in my judgment, fits the definition of domestic terrorism. it should be treated as such. >> i want to read for you a statement in part that the attorney has said about this. of course, in large part, they're calling it merely accusations. even i both know, obviously, there's still the burden of proof that needs to be met. the statement is, at this point, the charges against mr. pena are merely accusations that not been tested by the full rigor of the traditional process. mr. pinion is presumed innocent and the charges against him. i know you agree with the presumption of innocence, as do i. but i also wonder what you make of the what has come out so far. conversations about masterminding, about the idea, and for some it might be a lot

to note that this is somebody who was charged as a felon and was still able to still run for office. i understand that although he had a prior felony, he was adjudicated to be able to still run for office, it was not a violation of your state law, is that right? >> that is correct. there was a challenge brought by someone during the last election cycle to see whether or not he was constitutionally qualified to stand public office. there is a district court judge who in our turkey who ruled that he was in fact qualified to remain on the ballot. and i don't know if the legislature intends to re-examine that. but this is certainly somebody with a long criminal history. as you noted, at the top of your program, this is somebody who is associated with people who are engaged in drug trafficking and have access to some pretty significant weapons. we are really just at the initial stages of the investigation, trying to

understand everyone who was involved, the nature of their involvement, the nature of their relationship. and really how he was able to organize so many people to engage in this concerted and very dangerous act of political violence. >> attorney general, very fortunate that we are not talking about a very difficult result in terms of any shots being fired more broadly and what could've happened to those who were targeted. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> i do want to bring in one of those officials who was allegedly targeted in the shootings. adrian barbosa, she is the county commissioner. i'm glad to see you here, i was thinking about what is happened. i have to tell you, it gives me such pause, as many people have been hearing about this story. i wonder if you can just speak to how you are feeling about this.

the fact that your home was targeted and the seaming motivation appears to be about someone who lost an election as far as we know today. what are you feeling about this? >> hello, thank you so much. it is been a range of emotions from relief, definitely, to know that someone, that people don't have to continue living in fear of this threat. but angry, disappointed, full range. >> you know -- excuse me, i do want to cut you off, please continue. >> i just think -- >> i think we have a problem with your audio for a moment. i know we are gonna come back to you in just a moment. just thinking about what the range of motion must be like. one of the things that adrian just mentioned was the idea of living in fear for those who

were targeted. remember, all of these different shootings have not taken place, if you remember, on the same day. we are talking about a series of different days where the shootings occurred. there was a question i n december all the way into january, the range of people whose homes were targeted and what that looks like and why. of course, it is always going to make -- we're learning more information about who would've been inside of those homes, who may have been vulnerable, particular to all of this. we are going to work on the audio and sound to make sure

that we are able to get her viewpoint on this very important issue that really is a part of a bigger and larger story across this country. also, more accusations against george santos. the congressman from new york. a navy that is saying that santos promised to raise funds for this little guy you see on your screen. for his cancer stricken dog. allegedly, he took off with the money. now, there are new questions tonight about santos's claim that his mother was at the world trade center on 9/11. -- and when it comes to value, which popular brand has the lowest cost of ownership? lower than toyota, honda, or hyundai? subaru. it's easy to love a car you can trust. it's easy to love a subaru. ♪ this rental car is so boring to drive. let's be honest. the rent-a-car industry is the definition of boring. and the reason can be found in the name itself. rent - a - car. you don't want a friend. you want the friend. you don't want a job. you want the job. the is always over a. that's why we don't offer a car.

>> well, another day, another accusation against republican congressman george santos. you never guess what he has been accused of now. this time, the accusation is that he is taking money meant for a dying dog. that is not all, cnn obtaining immigration records showing that his mother was actually in brazil on 9/11 which is interesting considering he has repeatedly said that she was at the world trade center in new york. joining me now is political analyst alex burns. he's the coauthor of this will not pass, trump, biden, and a battle for america's future. also joining us republican strategies dog. cnn national politics reporter eva mckend. let's begin with the story surrounding his late mother.

there has been a lot of discussion about how she passed. we are learning some new reporting about any connection if, there is one, to 9/11. what are we hearing? >> laura, he is told variations of the story about his mother and how she passed. he has said, he has suggested that she died as a result of cancer, that she contracted from the ash cloud, the specific term that he used from her being present at the twin towers on 9/11. cnn has obtained immigration records that prove that is not the case. she's not even living in the country at that time. so, not only to be clear, did she not die on 9/11, but she could not have died as a result of the tragic events of 9/11 either. >> was this included in part, we have a list obviously, as you will know, of the things

that he is lied about. has he ever spoken about that in terms of recanting the statements he's made about his mother's death? if this one of the things that he is doubling down on? >> today, i haven't heard him do so as of yet. in the reporting, especially here at cnn, we have been careful about this. we have not characterized this as a definitive lie. they are said there continues to be questions about the statement. now, we have obtained those immigration records that seem to suggest that it is a definitive lie. she wasn't in the u.s. at the time. how could she have died on 9/11 or as a result of 9/11? she is how this is passed. the scenarios that he has suggested just don't seem to

add up. >> there are many, gentleman, scenarios that are not adding up. if i take a step back, i want to talk to you for a moment. we can go through all of the different lists of things that he said. clearly, the idea of his name becoming more and more synonymous with deception and lies is apparent. the thing you talked about before, unless he wants to resign, or he does resign, or they expel him from congress, there's an app to it for publicans to do so. i'm wondering at what point there will be that pendulum swift away from the interest and this is a fools errand to keep looking into.

>> i was in the office building today where his office is. there are still cameras there. the house is out of session, he is not there, there are still cameras in front of his office. it does appear to be dying away anytime soon because, while production, if we are here from weeks now, we will probably talk about four or five other things that he is made up, names these head that we did know about. and all of this. the mechanism for moving him doesn't change. expulsion has happened twice since the civil war. both times, it is happened after someone has been convicted of bribery. not accused, not indicted, convicted. everything that we see of george santos, his nonsensical stuff. with real legal implications. he hasn't gone to that point yet as crazy as that is. >> we are learning more about the story, about a dying dog. and the gofundme page, alleged

stolen funds from it. i do want to say, congressman santos did respond on the record to that accusation to our own don lemon. in speaking about that, denying that it ever happened. he has been pretty adamant in the past, for few examples, he is not a liar, he is telling the truth. this campaign finance issue, alex, and you have followed the money in a number of cases and the intersection of what happened when money issues come to flee. is that the kind of investigation and inquiry that, regardless of what you might think about his statements of piling on, that those are the kinds of things, the kinds of investigations that could upset the apple cart in terms of being able stay in congress?

>> i think they could. i think the context that they just mention is important. when an expulsion happens, it is because someone gets convicted of a crime. not just investigative charges, but convicted. as you know, that takes a while. but i think the nature of the crime could matter a lot. if he is under investigation for serious finance fraud scheme that cuts at his basic integrity as a member of congress, i don't mean his in terms of is he telling truth about his mom, but his basic integrity, is he on the take from somebody. that is an entirely speculative proposition at this point. if he is investigated for the allegation that you just alluded to, stealing money from a disabled veteran that was supposed to go to help that person's dog, if that turns out to be true, i do think that is

the kind of thing that could be really difficult for us colleagues to ot other weight on. bottom line, it is a really, really tiny majority that is democratic leaning. if he quits, that would have to become a really big headache for it to be worse for kevin mccarthy to have him around then you have a special election. >> i want to get right back to. i want to come to you on this point. we are talking about a gofundme site, essentially the money was taken from that. gofundme has issues statement about this on the alleged santos dogs can. they said, when we received a report of an issue with this fund-raiser in late 2016, our trust in safety team sought proof of delivery of the funds from the organizer, he failed to respond. that led to the fund-raiser being removed in the email associated with that account prohibited from further use on our platform. as i mentioned, eva, congressman santos spoke to our own don lemon and said, i have no clue what he is talking about.

the crazy part is that anyone who knows me, knows that i will go to and back for a dog, and especially veteran. this is more of the pile on effect. i have dozens of people reaching out to me in support, sharing their stories about their dogs and cats that i helped save and rescue. and yet, there is still the accusation looming from this veteran. listen to this. >> i said him, he please give the money back to the people or there is a veterinarian in the area that we can give the money to and put it into a fund where he's at from time to time. it is not your money to keep. he just wasn't hearing it. i called which back, or fight, i was really upset. this is rich's lifeline. i work with veterans every day. dogs save people lives. he needed this dog every day to be in his life. i felt horrible to tell him

that i failed him. because of feeling that he was going to do the right thing, he did not. >> you never got $1 of the money? >> the idea that this is out there, he is denying it. >> if he was running a legitimate charity at the time, he should've had no issue responding to gofundme. gofundme ultimately did pull down the side. we know that santos and his credibility is shaky to put it in the most generous framing. we now have this better and coming forward, the president of a veterans charity in new jersey, coming forward, putting their credibility on the line.

the man in new jersey still runs that veterans organization to this day. we also have the corroboration of text messages that were being sent between anthony devolder. >> the name that was given, they say that it belongs to george santos that he used. >> we know he is gone by different aliases throughout the years. it is hard to believe congressman santos and his denials because there is this overwhelming evidence on the other side. i think we should not forget the center in the district. this really underscores that is

gonna be hard for congressman santos to be an effective member. he was placed on two congressional seasons -- they're gonna be called before those committees. how does he conduct q&a with people that are before him in a legitimate fashion. with this cloud hanging over him. >> i get your point, but a little bit emboldened, there were questions that he would ever be on a committee. he has been placed on committees. there will be cameras undoubtedly every question he asks. anyone in these hearings, the tension will be there. obviously not for the good reason. but there are some people in this world that might surprise you who all news is good news, all presses good press. is that part of the concern? why does this matter more in the republican party right now? is it the numbers? >> it is completely the numbers. nothing is going to change between now and when the house gets back in the session. except that we will hear more and more stories and anecdotes about lies and things that have been completely made up. it'll be interesting and politically -- when we come back into session, do any democrats offer a resolution for expulsion? that then changes the conversation a little bit in a way that just hasn't from the past two w> cosathe it t is t w>> i webut > t thethanther d, nextnext

>> significant new developments tonight in the investigation

into the stabbing death of four university of auto students. search warrants used to achieve evidence from bryant kohberger's home and office have been unsealed. he is a grad student in criminology in washington state university who is facing four counts of first-degree murder. now, among the items are shaved, a black glove, possible human and animal hair strands, more on that point in a moment, and materials containing stains. let's talk about it now with john miller, cnn's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, and cnn legal analyst joey jackson, also a criminal defense attorney. gentlemen, i'm glad you are here, we are learning about some of the evidence that was collected from brian kohberger 's residence in washington, more than a dozen items by the way including hair and stains. in fact, there was a sample of a dark red spot, part the mattress cover-up was stained. nitrate tight black loves. there was a walmart receipt, a martial machine. a lot number of things, a computer tower, et cetera.

i wonder what stands out to you, joey, the most when you see this from a defense council perspective. i'm seeing what is missing as a murder weapon perhaps. what stands out to you? >> laura, without question. first of all, you are going to examine and look at those hairs. those hairs would trouble me greatly from a defense perspective. why? because whenever a suspect commits a crime, there is transference. what does that mean in english? you then have to leave the crime scene, you go to your apartment, what you carry for transfer from the crime scene to your apartment? in the event that one of those hairs happens to be one of people who unfortunately are dead as a result of his alleged

hands, how do you explain that hair being there? second issue, you know there's gonna be all types of forensics with respect to the dog that was in the home. could you imagine in the event that one of those animal hairs belongs to that dog, how do you reasonably explain that that animal here would've gone there? but there is not a murder weapon, but what do those receipts demonstrate and indicate? did he purchase something? to that extent, or the weapon. there's a lot of things that concern me. is indicative of police doing their job in order to connect the dots, which you know as a former prosecutor is overwhelmingly significant in

securing a conviction. >> just what we are clear, when we talk about the admiral here, it might be obvious, why this would be an issue. we know that her dog was home at the time of the murders. the idea of the significance of an animal hair transfer from, one location to the next. i want to bring you in here because, this list of things that were recovered, the search warrant unsealed at this point. one thing that was a part of it, they were also looking for blood. they collected a dark red spot, that is the phrase, a dark red spot and other stains. what struck you about that? >> we have got a stain on an uncovered pillow. they want to know what that status. that will undergo analysis. that is happening now. they also took a couple of matches covers and are looking

at stains on those. but they also took the computer. they warned spelled out that there were going to look for any searches for compilations on information on either the victims, or their home address. 1 to 2 king street address. or anything about any of them individually, for pictures, social media, and so on. from the search of the home, from the office, they have a lot to go through. and a lot of sizing's to do before they can tell of the match. >> on the point about the search, that is gonna be so important to think about. we are seeing other cases that we've been tracking here on cnn and beyond about what happens when ones google search might intimate or insinuate something else. the idea here, joey, of the searches.

the idea here of trying to figure out has this person been in contact with any of these before. was he aware of them? was he stalking in some way? is there a connection there? how would you approach this? the idea of, is the way for his defense council to try to stop these kinds of searches or is it really the waiting game to figure out the prosecution, can meet their burden at this juncture? >> so lori, searches of course are very important because they gather critical evidence that law enforcement needs in order to potentially secure a conviction. we always do from defense perspective is attempt what we call suppress evidence. what does that mean? keep it outside of the purview

of the jury, keep it outside of the trial. you know, in order to do that, you have to show the absence of probable cause. you have to show that the nature of -- it is very difficult on under the circumstances given that we certainly seem to have the authority to do that. in terms of any connection to the victims, we know that the cell phone data is critical. we are in a day and age where technology is just so powerful, how do you explain yourself, yourself on to that connects to the homes at the time that it does with regards to when the murder occurred with regard to after the murder, with respect to before the murders occurred. all of that is the connection. you get the dna, the analysis, and boy there's a lot to overcome. so much more evidence and information as well in addition to that. these are the things that i laid out, they're very powerful

for the prosecution. >> john, are we learning anything more about the other roommates were in the home at the time? when there is the initial arrest and extradition to idaho, the real questions arising from what was revealed. the idea that someone else was there, they may have seen this person. they come into contact with them. it wasn't entirely clear whether the suspect in the case actually saw that person. are we doing anything more about that evidence or the other room it's? >> we haven't. what we have learned is that because that is the only living person that the prosecution and investigators have who saw the killer face to face, although the killer was wearing a mask. that is highly valuable in the context of this case. it is somebody whose name they are seeking to not just keep out of the press, but the search warrants that we are talking about today have been sealed strictly for the purpose of redacting their names. when they were released today, only be initials were used. this is someone that they're very interested in keeping under wraps. even though the suspect is now in custody. >> you can imaginehoi can i theof course, the survivo jo well dea could it imp dea could ite will

just look around. this digital age we're living in, it's pretty unbelievable. problem is, not everyone's fully living in it. nobody should have to take a class or fill out a medical form on public wifi with a screen the size of your hand. home internet shouldn't be a luxury. everyone should have it and now a lot more people can. so let's go. the digital age is waiting.

>> there are concerns tonight of a book could damage a manhattan das investigation into donald trump. dea office sending a letter to chairman suture and prosecutor asking to review the contests of his new book. that book is supposed to come out early next month. promising with an inside account of the ongoing investigation. now, he was brought in as a special prosecutor under the nda cy vance before resigning last year amid disagreements with brag over seeking an indictment against the former president. the yays office writing quote,

based on the pre publication descriptions of his book, and the benefit of current knowledge of the matter, but without access to the manuscripts. this office believes that there is a meaningful risk that the publication will materially prejudice ongoing criminal investigations and related adjudicative proceedings. i should mention, chairman suture also published my own book. i should bring in political commentator maria cardona. and welcome back doug, cnn legal analyst elliott williams is here as well. i think we have to set the scene here for a second. this is the same person, the same attorney who wrote a blistering letter about his time at the d's office. i'm quoting from it, he says, i believe that donald trump is guilty of numerous felony violations of the penal law in connection with the preparation and use of his annual statements of financial conditions. the team that has been investigating mr. trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes, he did. i believe that your decision not to prosecute donald trump now and on the this existing record is misguided and completely contrary to the public interest. of course, that makes people want to lean in and go, what is in this book that might be obviously driving the concerns

here? elliott, the idea that there is an ongoing, that's the phrase, and ongoing criminal investigation which might be news to some people that is still happening. are they right to need this review? >> oh, they are absolutely right to need this review. let's set aside for a second the merits of the book, whether it's right to prosecute him, or not, put that all aside for a second. how is it humanly possible for him to write a book that doesn't either a, break some office confidentiality, or even maybe the law if there's grandeur issues. look, in the promotional materials for the book, what they say is, a fascinating inside account of the attempt to prosecute donald trump. if you believe the office, they are still trying to prosecute donald trump.

how can a book be written that doesn't violate office secrets if this investigation is still going on. look, we could all be surprised by what is in it, maybe he figured out a way to write it neatly and cleanly around that office. but it seems a little bit close to comfort. it is not uncommon for books when ex government people write books to have the government review the things that you've written, maybe that happens

here, we will see. >> here is the big if, you use the word if. let's broaden that for a moment. although the trump organization was convicted last month, decade long tax fraud scheme, at the time the dea said to cnn, if they closed one at chapter and opening another. at the time of this resignation letter, we were under the impression that there had been an indefinite suspension of any type of investigation into donald trump. i wonder, is the thought of this, maria, that you are saying indefinitely suspended because you are an elected official, mr. break. if you are them, are you thinking that he is trying to silence the book so as not to look into the reasons as why not to. >> that letter describes a lot of the frustration from democrats and progressives who absolutely believe that there is not just one, but several ways that you can criminally prosecute donald trump. i agree with that, but at the same time, a lot of times we don't know what is being investigated.

that is the sole reason why a lot of these investigations are secret and sometimes we should know everything. if they are continuing the investigation, and if there is still a attempt to prosecute all trump. then again, as the democrat and a progressive who wants to see this man behind bars, i say yes. more power to him, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. and do everything that we can to make sure that when and he does, not if, but hopefully when he does that he is able to do it cleanly. that all the t's across in the eyes are dotted, that it is airtight and that nothing can come back to say that doesn't count because of that leak or the sleek. >> i look at it as the va office brought this on themselves by either taking the prosecution or not being clear whether this was an open investigation or not. they left this vacuum or this void for one of their former guys to come in and write a book. it is a little bit of advance. >> i will say, one of the things that the days office a manhattan had to say was, talking about the disclosures, these procedures, which mr. pomerantz agreed to in writing in 2020 were put in place to ensure the integrity of investigations and prosecutions conducted by this office, as neither sought nor received approval to make disclosures relating to ongoing matters of the day's office. his office has not reviewed any excerpts of his manuscript. on that point, what we've all been talking about here, on the

one count, is the balance. the public is hungry for information, trying to understand the nature of decisions not to indict or whether to indict the process. balanced against the perspective on investigations. there is still the perspective in that part. you know, politics keeps coming into play when you're talking about how people perceive investigations into donald trump. is this kind of thing ammunition for him? i think absolutely. in public life, in politics, resignation letters are often a

statement of an agenda. in this case, it was just a resignation letter, it essentially was a press release. you can almost read into this, by my book. but it seemed clear that there was something more coming here. i think the challenge for prosecutors in this case, prosecutors take a long time for a reason. it is because they don't want to indict somebody and then lose. they want a conviction. i have some sympathy for garland who is really getting pounded by the left every day because of trump isn't in jail. the reality is, if he indites donald trump and loses, well then why would he have been indicted. you have to have an airtight case as you can have. that is why these take while. >> they also suggest, maria, that while there was a conviction by the trump organization, obviously that was an entity as opposed to an individual. obviously gonna be serving in a few months and records as part of his plea agreement. but there has been -- that is a civil matter, there is an appetite for some criminal accusation as you know.

to that point, do you think that that patience collectively is waiting? -- yes, i answer my own question. yes, there is logic. the next question for you is, what do you do about it? >> well, i think that is where you have to taking to consideration, it is hard because we have no idea what the dea has that is part of the frustration. i don't know if there is a way for him to come out to your point and say it one way or the other, without giving it all up because yes, we are impatient. if this is not going to amount to anything and the dea knows this is not going to amount anything, then that is one thing. i think that is something that everybody will be off at at some point if that is ever found out. again, if there is a possibility that this investigation, and let's remember, pomerantz has not been there for over a year. so he doesn't really know what

has gone on in the last year. michael cohen was brought in for interviews, he is part and parcel of everything that was happening with donald trump. maybe it is still happening, maybe it is ongoing and he is putting it up. let's hope he's buttoning it up because yes, our patience is waning. >> chairman schuster does intend to publish on february 7th. >> is there anything that can stop that by the way? >> well, that is the million dollar question. let's see what happens on february 7th. pomerantz did tell this to the washington post. quote, i'm confident that all of my actions with respect to be troubled investigation including the writing of my forthcoming book are consistent with my legal and ethical obligations. so, whether we will see it will not, february 7th, ever stick around because there is a decision being made on possible charges in the fatal shooting on a set of alec barred winds movie rust, set to be announced tomorrow. the big question here is, what will it be and will be any
