directly from u.s. stocks. it's not likely to be a presidential drawdown especially because the u.s. just announced the $2.5 billion drawdown of u.s. stocks for ukraine last week. instead this is more likely to come through the ukraine assistance program. it means the u.s. creates new contracts with the tank manufacturers but also takes time to manufacture the tanks, to acquire them and to get them to ukraine so, john, this is not something we're likely to see immediately if we'll watch to see if those other dominos play out. thanks for your time today. "inside politics." busy day. abby phillip picks up our coverage right now. hello, i'm abby phillip in washington. thanks for joining us. we begin with a fresh classified documents controversy that is rocking washington. new cnn reporting is that classified documents were found

at former vice president mike pence's home. we are told that a lawyer for pence discovered about a dozen documents marked classified at his home in indiana. they've now been turned over to the fbi. but the discovery comes after pence has repeatedly said he did not have any classified documents in his possession. let's go straight to cnn's paula reid with the latest on this story. paula, this is happening again. what are the details on this case? >> reporter: again, and again, abbey. here's cnn learned pence's attorneys decided to do a search out of an abundance of caution after classified documents were found at multiple locations connected to president biden. now, pence has repeatedly insisted he had no classified materials in his possession. but his attorneys uncovered these materials in boxes that originally went to a temporary home that he had in virginia before moving on to indiana.

now, i emphasize these were not in a secure storage area. now, it is not clear at this point what dose documents were or their level of classification. now, once they were discovered, they were handed over to the fbi and, abby, the justice department is conducting a review of this matter. now, pence's lawyers say they also served a washington, d.c. office and did not find any classified documents at that location. >> thank you for that and manu raja raju is live on capitol hill. they've been slamming biden for weeks and listen to what pence said recently about that. >> the handling of classified materials and the nation's secrets are a serious matter and as a former vice president of the united states, i can speak from personal experience about the attention that ought to be paid to those materials when

you're in office and after you leave office and clearly that did not take place in this case. >> so this is a problem now, manu, that is metastasizing. what is the reaction on capitol hill? >> reporter: stunned from members of both parties. leaders say they are perplexed at how exactly documents continue to show up outside of the secure spaces where in private residences, now mike pence's home in indiana. this after joe biden's home in wilmington, his private office as well as what we saw in mar-a-lago. how this happened and why this is happening is a question that lawmakers want to explore. one senator john cornyn said, quote, it's not good and another senator, dick durban who is a senate judiciary committee chairman told people, elected officials have to be held responsible and told me i don't understand this. one of the reasons they're concerned is we've focused a lot

about joe biden over the last several days including documents that apparently he had or that were in the senate at the time when he was serving that somehow appeared in his private residences, a lot of members from both sides say is unclear exactly how that happened as well and how joe biden could have gotten in possession of documents typically reviewed into very secure spaces. now that those documents are in mike pence's office, concern from john cornyn and others that this appears to be wider spread problem than perhaps we ultimately know here and also some calls to continue an investigation into this matter. james langford just told me moments ago the senate needs to look into this. that is not something dick durban who runs the senate judiciary committee that democrats were in the senate wants to do how how will the house republicans decide to pursue this? they have launched an investigation from at least two committees about joe biden's handling of this. what will they do about mike pence? we have not heard from them yet

because the house is not in session but will later today and it will be -- we'll see if they decide to expand their investigation, look into mike pence or keep it focused on joe biden, abby. >> and elliot williams is with us. manu raises an important point. there's real questions here about how classified documents are being handled. i wantouo listen to how pence described the process and how it went on when he was in office. >> early in the morning i received a presidential daily brief at the vice president's residence. i'd rise early. i'd go to the safe where my military aide would place those classified materials. i'd pull them out, review them. i'd receive a presentation to them and then, frankly, more often than not, larry, i would simply return them back to the

file that i'd received them in. they went in commonly into what was called a burn bag that my military aide would gather and then destroy those classified materials. same goes in materials that i would receive at the white house. >> so it's a clear process. he understood it and seemed to have a sense of fidelity to it. but if you're doj and you're now seeing a former president, a current president with documents dating back to senate time and former vice president all dealing with the same issue, what questions do they have? how do they approach this? >> well, it's not all the same issue and we should be careful here. look, the same law applies to everybody, which is that, abby, when there are documents that have leaked out or been removed or are not in a secure place, what was the intent behind getting them out of there? was it inadvertent as the vice president pence, i got to clarify that now because there's so many but that pence seems to be saying that these might have been accidental disclosures.

were they accidental or intentional and what was the level of obstruction of justice or of an investigation that happened afterward? that is what the justice department needs to look into. that will involve probably i think a special counsel here to fairly and adequately look into how these documents got out. why they did, was it just sloppiness or was someone voluntarily trying to get documents out of the white house? that is the same standard of law that has been applied to president biden that should to president trump and vice president pence here. >> you're raising a stunning prospect, could there be another special counsel appointed here? should there be for dealing with the pence case? >> only on a count -- look, i have said consistently about this from the beginning that the justice department is perfectly capable of investigating people of their own political party or of the opposing political party. but the fact is we live in a political world and the public

may draw conclusions based on the justice department going down the road of an investigation. to take it away from the attorney general and sort of minimize some of that public pushback, yes, a special counsel is likely here, but, look, merrick garland and the justice department is more than capable of investigating this. >> i want to go now to former republican congressman charlie dent. elliot, stand by for us. the pence team says they will notify congress about the documents today. if you were still in congress, i mean, what questions would you have and now i mean this seems to raise the prospect that we don't know what we don't know about what other former officials might have classified documents in their homes and in their offices. >> well, the question, abby, the question is how. how did this happen? there's clearly a systemic problem at the white house and the vice president's residence. i believe that both joe biden

and mike pence, whatever they did here was unintentional and probably accidental but that doesn't excuse it. somebody should be held responsible. as a member of congress, i had the opportunity and privilege to view classified material. but always in a classified setting in a scif, a secure facility. always did that. i walked in, i checked the electronics at the door and then we reviewed the paper and we gave it back. we walked out. you know, i'm sitting 20 feet from my garage and it's loaded. it's a mess, it's loaded with all kinds of documents from my time in congress but i can assure you of 100% certainty there's not a classified document in there. the question is how did this happen? it's clear that the controls are missing, you know, i always thought there was a protector or keeper of the documents. every time i looked at a classified document there was somebody in my presence would was there who was responsible for those documents. now, mike pence just said that his military attache was responsible. but, again, it doesn't answer the question, how some of those

documents ended up in his home same thing with biden and we had a problem with hillary clinton and unsecured server and donald trump who's been uncooperative, absconded with documents so i think this is a subject for very serious congressional oversight about why this is happening because in congress, i'm not aware of this happening. how did biden walk away with senate material? it's almost unfathomable. >> the frustration you're expressing seems to be expressed by a lot of members on the hill actually. charlie, one thing that one member, senator -- a senator proposed, which is that maybe the special counsel should go away and that this should become a more of an oversight issue, figuring out what is going wrong with our classified document handling system and dealing with that? i mean what do you make of that proposal that this is not necessarily something at this point that needs to be prosecuted? i'm not saying this is criminal

in the case of biden or pence by any means but you're right, absolutely serious oversight is required. and not just of how they handle the documents but we all have a system of overclassification. we classify too much material and probably far too many people have security clearances. i mean, i used to be very frustrated as a member of congress. i would go into a classified briefing, only to learn things that i already read in "the new york times" or on cnn. i mean, that's not helpful and so i think there is a problem with this and, by the way, members of congress are -- i had access to really interesting stuffer. i was on the homeland security committee and responsible for infrastructure protection and transportation security so i saw a lot of really sensitive things about how our enemying might blow up our airplanes or attack our infrastructure but members of congress are very attuned to this issue and i'm pleased to say in my experience never had issues so the question is can congress do that serious oversight, you know, in a manner that is balanced that could

actually help fix what is -- appears to be a broken system at the white house and the vice president's residence? >> and in a polarized environment that's a real question. paula, i do want to go back to you before we go here. you now have three instances, very high-profile individuals and the justice department walking a tightrope. how do they proceed now and what do you think is the deliberation inside the doj about whether this is a case that now because of the other two cases requires another special counsel? >> right now we know they are conducting a review of these facts and, abby, i'm not as foolish that there will be a special counsel. if we do know everything and pence put forward all of the facts into the public sphere and it is true that these materials were packed up in boxes, moved from point a to point b, that he was not aware of it. it's not clear that that would prompt a special counsel.

in the investigation into former president trump and current president biden, part of what prompted the special counsel were how they handled it, interacted with the justice department. with former president trump, of course, his investigation among the most serious in part because he has not cooperated with the justice department. also the volume of material, hundreds of documents that he retained and then refused to fully cooperate. his property was searched, of course, because there were concerns he was even moving material after the investigation began and then once he declared his candidacy for president the attorney general decided to pass the entire investigation off to a special counsel. the current president, biden, there are questions about why it took so long after the initial disclosure to search other locations, in one instance not telling the justice department before searching another place and not being fully transparent with the american public and backed garland into almost having to appoint a special counsel to handle a further investigation. those facts are not on the table right now so at this point it's not clear that there will be a

special counsel but once again the justice department is doing exactly what they did in the biden case which is conducting an initial review and then they can figure out if this needs to proceed to a full-blown criminal investigation. >> all right, paula read, manu raju, elliot williams and charlie dent, thanks. up next a manhunt under way after another shooting left at these three people dead in washington state. police surrounding a home right now and it's happening as investigators comb through other mass shooting scenes in the state of california. all of those details are ahead for us. plus, a judge in georgia is hearing arguments over whether to release a special grand jury report on former president trump's meddle as a judge says a charging decision will be imminent. we will be live in that courthouse and how ticketmaster's taylor swift debacle is bringing republicans and democrats together today on capitol hill.

right now america is coming to grips with a string of deadly shootings, the latest in yakima, washington, where at least thee people are now dead and police gave us details about the ongoing hunt for the suspect who you can see here. cnn's lose have cavanaugh is following the story. what more do we know? this is an ongoing manhunt? >> reporter: police have surrounded a home in eastern yakima. we know that s.w.a.t. is on the team. we know several drones are in the area. the yakima county sheriff's department tells cnn this is related to early morning homicides and let's talk go those. at these three people were killed in the circle k store. the man responsible for firing those shots is still at large. i mention that police standoff at this home.

yakima police in a facebook post have named what they're describing as the presumed home said suspect as jared haddock. a yakima county resident and as armed and dangerous. take a listen to the police chief. >> it apripears to be a random situation. the male just walked in and started shooting. this is a dangerous person and we don't have a motive. we don't know why. >> reporter: no know tiff. they don't know why but do say the suspect pulled into an arcoam/pm station and attempted to get into the lobby. doors were locked and matt murray told cnn the suspect walked across the street to the circle k as he's walking into that store, abby, he pulls out his gun, two people are getting food and he apparently shoots them. both died and the suspect walked

out and shot and killed another person and goes back to the gas station, shot into the car and drove off. now, initially police describe this as a carjacking with a potential fourth victim inside but it seems like they're walking back those comments now sticking to the three victims and do believe that the car he drove off may have actually been his. >> lucy, thank you. the state of california has seen three mass shootings in the last three days, one in half moon bay, one in oakland and one in monterey park so we'll start with monterey park today we are learning more about that suspect and the 11 people who died in a shooting at a dance studio on saturday. cnn's nick watt is on the scene. what are you learning and the latest on this shooting? >> reporter: well, abby, officials and the community here want to know why. they want a motive. why did this man commit as they say the mayor here says such a

heinous act. well, our stephanie becker, cnn producer just spoke with a man named adam hood, an old friend of the suspect and knew each other for a number of years and this man rented an apartment from him and did fall out over a small lawsuit but this is what hood had to tell us about this suspect. he said that this man just didn't trust people. he was a pure misanthrope and led a simple life. very few hobbies. he hated people to the bone. however, hood says that he never saw this man act on any of that hatred. he wasn't a fighter. he wasn't an arguer but inside he, quote, hated people to the bone. apparently the suspect did like to dance and he danced a lot. he was an occasional instructor here at this dance studio where he ended up killing 11 people. now, apparently the suspect complained a lot. he complained a lot about the

other instructors at the dance halls that he went to and also about the people who managed and owned those dance halls, but according to mr. hood, the suspect never complained about any of his students, his anger was always directed at other instructors who he said treated him badly. now, what mr. hood concludes is it was all in his mind. he hated people. now, of course, there was a search of his trailer home and police found lots of ammunition, another rifle and evidence this suspect was actually making suppressors, silencers in his home. he was also arrested just once back in 1990 for suspected unlawful possession of a firearm. now, i mentioned 11 people dead. 10 people died at the scene. one person died in the hospital and we now have identities from the coroner of all 11 dead. six women, five men, the age

range, 57 up to 71 and, of course, there are also some injured still in the hospital and the local representative here, congress person said a lot of those people in the hospital are not only having to process the trauma of what happened but worrying about their medical bills, worrying if they'll get their jobs back and she says, the representative of the community must rally around. abby. >> we certainly hope they do step up to help those individuals. thank you, nick watt. we're getting information about the suspect in the half moon bay shootings. police say that a 67-year-old man, quote, snapped and targeted his victims with a semiautomatic handgun that he bought legally. seven people are now dead in that case. cnn's veronica miracle is there in half moon bay. veronica, there was just a press conference by officials here. what are you learning about this case? >> reporter: that's right, abby. the last numbers we're hear something that eight people have

died. seven men and one woman. that's according to the sheriff's department. they say that this gunman, 66-year-old chun li zhou was targeting one of his workplaces, targeting a workplace as you mentioned, he snapped according to authorities and it is really still unclear exactly what the motive was, but they say that he was targeting a workplace and that this was likely an individual who was working alone. now, this all took place yesterday afternoon just before 2:30. the first initial 911 call came in and authorities say that they got a call about a shooting with multiple victims. when they arrived to that first location, they found four bodies and, of course, a person critically injured then about a five-minute drive away to another location. that's where they discovered three bodies yesterday. all of this happening in the afternoon in a place where people live and also work and

because this was after school hours there were children present and children who witnessed this massacre according to authorities. incredibly devastating here and i was just at the police sheriff's substation rather where chun li zhou was taken into custody yesterday a couple hours after that initial 911 call. he went to the station and that's where they were able to apprehend him and take him into custody relatively without any incident. i was there this morning and there was a man who said my wife works -- my ex-wife works at concord farms. i haven't heard from her for hours. you know, he's been trying to call her all night and he has not been able to get through to her and went to the sheriff's department and gave his information and they didn't have any more information for him. at this point they have not released information about the eight victims who were killed beyond the fact that there are seven men and one woman. so people in this community are left wondering, you know, is my family member affected. are my friends affected?

it's a very small community here in half moon bay and a lot of people feeling grief today, abby. >> absolutely, veronica miracle, thank you for that. and coming up next we have a potential break in the big debate over whether to send tanks to ukraine. sources telling cnn that the u.s. is now finalizing plans to do just that after officials initially opposed that move. so what changed? we'll have more on that coming up and should the public see the final report from the special grand jury that is investigating trump over the 2020 election? a georgia judge is hearing arguments right now on that very issue. we will be live at the courthouse when we come back. yep, them too. it's an invigogorating rush... ...zapping millions of germs in seconds. for that one-of-a-kind whoa... ...which leaves you feeling... ahhhhhhh listerine. feel the whoa! next on behind the series.s... the boss upended the whole roster. here's this young sub from jersey,

and happening right now a georgia judge is deciding if the public may see the final report from a special grand jury that investigated donald trump over the 2020 election. now, that report contains recommendations on whether to indict and the fulton county district attorney says that a decision on charges is imminent. the probe was sparked by the phone call between president trump and georgia's republican secretary of state. listen. >> all i want to do is this, i just want to find 11,780 votes,

which is one more than we have because we won the state. >> now, cnn's sara murray is at the courthouse in atlanta. what are you hearing about those wrotings under way? >> reporter: well, abby, the judge is still hearing arguments about whether to make this report public but heard from fani willis in court a little bit ago and signaled that this special grand jury report again still secret that they recommended indictments potentially multiple indictments and talked a lot about how the d.a.'s office wanted to keep this report under seal to preserve their rights. >> what the state does not want to see happen and don't think there's any way the court would be able to guarantee is if this report was released, there somehow could be arguments made that it impacts the right for later individuals, multiple, to get a fair trial, to have a fair

hearing, to be able to be tried in this jurisdiction. >> reporter: now, willis can move ahead with seeking indictments whether the judge decides to make this report public or not. but this is a grand jury that has been digging into, you know, efforts to meddle in the election for seven months, willis said they talked to 75 witnesses. you know, we know they brought in people like rudy giuliani, like south carolina senator lindsey graham, like former trump adviser michael flynn. you know, we know in addition to that call you referenced, the trump/raffensperger call that set it off they've been looking into the fake elector scheme and looking into false claims of election fraud before georgia state lawmakers and threats to election workers, so there is a lot that they have been digging into. it's unclear how much of it made it into that report but there was a pretty clear signal from willis we could see more action in court moving forward, abby. >> i think it's very telling she is concerned about potentially tainting a case that she's going

to be making in court. now, sara, that is the time line here? when could a judge make a decision and if he makes a decision to release it when could we ee seen the report? >> reporter: i think that's a good question. he is really wrangling with whether this is something that could be made public and referred to the january 6th report and said the world kept turning. it's possible he could decide to put parts forward with redactioned. it's not clear what his time line could be and not clear what they are time line is for bringing charges. she said decisions are imminent but when we were talking to legal experts about this case, they said, look, if she is dealing with multiple defendants, if she wants to bring charges against multiple individuals perhaps as part of a racketeering case then she's going to want to take a little time, get her ducks in a row and get her case sort of court camera ready before she asks for those dimes from a regular grand jury. >> sara, thank you so much. this just in to cnn, the u.s. is finalizing plans to send

abrams tanks to ukraine according to officials familiar with those deliberations. ukrainian president zelenskyy has been pleading with the west to send more tanks for their war with russia and a ukrainian official calls these tanks the real punch of democracy. natasha bertrand is joining me now. the u.s. initially was reluctant to send the tank so what has changed, and will this allow other reluctant ally, namely germany, to follow suit and send ukraine what they have been requesting? >> reporter: yeah, abby, this really seems like an attempt by the united states to break that diplomatic logjam that has emerged between the u.s. and germany on this issue. so just taking a step back for a minute, last week we were told that germany was not going to send its leopard tanks unless the united states also sent its own abrams tanks to ukraine because germany did not want to be seen as being out of lockstep with the united states on this issue. now, at the time, u.s. officials

were adamant that now is not the right time to send the u.s. made abrams tanks because they're extremely heavy and require a lot of fuel. they are costly and just broadly inefficient was the argument they were making. well, fast forward to this week a lot of conversations have been going on behind the scenes between u.s. and german officials to try to figure this out because the u.s. really does want to see germany or i should say ukraine get these german made tanks not only from germany but from dozens of other european countries who have them in their inventory. they do believe that they could make a significant difference on the battlefield there. so talks have been ongoing between the u.s. and german officials over the last several days. now it appears the u.s. is preparing to announce a significant commitment of these abrachls tamikas to ukraine though we should note those tamikas are not going to show up on the battlefield immediately and require a lot of training and logistical things to work out but a step toward breaking the logjam between the u.s. and germany played out so publicly

last week, abby. >> all right, watch this space. we'll be looking to see what moves germany makes next, natasha bertrand, thank you. treated like a human pinata. the horrific descriptions are pouring in of the tyre nichols arrest video. officials are bracing for the potential backlash. we'll have more next. how? the lower r the temp, the lower your bill. tide cleans great inin cold and saves money? i am so in. save $150 when you turn to cold with tide. we all have a purpose in l life - a “why.” no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how just tell us - what's your why? lomita feed is 101 yea old this year and counting. i'm bill lockwood, current caretaker and owner. when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did.

lack of competition in the ticketing industry. here's the head of live nation. >> we apologize to the fans. we apologize to miss swift. we need to do better and we will do better. >> but that may not be enough for lawmakers and not to mention the fans of taylor swift and taylor swift herself who may not want to shake it off. matt egan is joining us now, so, matt, forgive me for the gratuitous taylor swift lyrics. what's going on down in capitol hill? it's been a colorful hearing. >> reporter: it has and has been a hearing full of taylor swift puns. what's interesting is that in some ways it's already accomplished a few things, first, it has drawn a spotlight on what is normally a pretty arcane issue and that is that the idea that some companies have just gotten too big, too dominant. two, this whole situation has managed to bridge the partisan divide in washington.

listen to what senator richard blumenthal said about it. >> i want to congratulate and thank you for an absolutely stunning achievement. you have brought together republicans and democrats in an absolutely unified cause, may i suggest respectfully that ticketmaster ought to look in the mirror and say, i'm the problem. it's me. >> and if you think that that last line sounded familiar, you're not crazy. it comes from a taylor swift song. listen. ♪ it's me, hi, i'm the problem, it's me ♪ ♪ at tea time everybody is agrees ♪ >> reporter: so maybe there's another accomplishment. they managed to get taylor swift lyrics in the library of congress. on a more serious note all this raises the question, what can be done about this issue? now one idea floated is the idea that maybe tickets can be made

n nontransferable to ken a lid on prices, but a lot of people say the real issue here is competition or lack thereof and so you got to wonder whether or not this hearing will create the political cover for the justice department to actually file an antitrust lawsuit against live nation? north blumenthal suggested one solution here is to have the doj unwind the controversial 2010 merger between live nation and ticketmaster that created this ticket behemoth in the first place, abby. >> i got to give senator blumenthal credit for that one. but, matt, in that very vein about competition or lack t thereof, the justice department just sued google. what is going on with that. >> reporter: it is a blockbuster case. the doj and eight states are alleging that google has unfairly competed in the online market. they say google is illegally staying dominant via a campaign

and gobbling up publishers. we just got a statement from them pushing back on this and argue that the doj is effectively picking winners and losers and they warn that this argument from the doj could end up raising ad fees and stifling innovation. >> than you for all of that, matt egan, and we will be right back. to support all of you. national university. supppporting the whole you. dry skin is sensitive skin, too. and it's natural. treat it that way with aveeno® daily moisture. formulated with nourhing, prebiotic oat. it's clinically proven to moisturize dry skin for 24 hours. aveeno® what the buck? need money? file your taxes today at jackson hewitt. you could get up to 3,500 bucks the same day

a non-stop beating is how the family of tyre nichols and their lawyers described the arrest of nichols when he was stopped and then died three days later. the nichols family has provided this chilling account of what that video shows. >> he was defenseless the entire time. he was a hue piman pinata unaba beating of this young boy for three minutes of this young boy.

>> oh, my god. >> joining us is the family counselor frank covet, and you have heard his mother crying out there, and you talked to people who have seen this video, and what have they told you that it showed? >> i have not seen this video, and at this point the justice department, and the tbi and fbi and they are completing their work, but i have been told by more than two sources that the video is horrendous, and the video is disgusting. it is a very, very sad day for memphis. >> we are also learning that the two members of the memphis fire department have also been fired. so based on your understanding of what transpired in that video, does it cover their ac actions, and do you know why they were terminated? >> well, that internal

investigation was not made public as why the five men were fired from the police department, and one thing they want to point out is that 1,900 of our police officers came to work yesterday and they will show up tomorrow, and the five men and two paramedics do not represent memphis values or public safety and as i have said many times, abby, and it does not matter what shirt you wear whether it is a button down or a police officer, and if you break the law, you are going to jail. and if this video is as horrific as i can, and because we are transparent, we will certainly release the video, and we will have a top-down examination of it, because it is time that we have this kind of discussion in memphis. >> do you have a reason to believe that there should be more investigation not only into the five officers and two

paramedics and just to look at the federal behavior, and it is called a pattern of practice here here. do you believe it is warranted here? >> yes, i have asked for a top-down pattern, and i have asked for it so that we can identify these individuals in the process, and what we need to do so get through this, and one of the things that i want to do is to have an examination of our public policy in terms of making sure that the public is well aware, and we have done a pretty good job at it, but when this is all through this, we need to look back not just at how we let the public know, but also to take a top down look at the police department. you know, if it happened once, we have to make sure that it absolutely does not happen again. >> in this case, all five of the officers fired were black, and attorney benjamin crump says it is not the race of the officers,

but the race of the citizens being victimized and in this case, a black motorist, a black man treated in this way, do you think that there is a pattern here, and what is the reaction here to what benjamin crump said about that? >> i don't know if there is a pattern, and i don't know the national numbers, and i can request the local numbers, but we will go back to main charge as the government of memphis, tennessee, and we will protect you regardless of origin, race, gender, sexual preference, but we are going to protect you and we will not lett this happen. this is going to be a top-down look at the memphis police department of the hiring practice and also the current officers not just with the

personnel hiring inventory, and why these things are happening at traffic stops. >> thank you for joining us on this tragic story. that is going to do it for me in the cnn newsroom. and that is gogoing to do it fo me. and the cnn newsroooom continue after this h. good news! a new clinical study showed that centrum silver supports cognitive health in older adults. it's one more step towards taking charge your health. so every day, you can say... ♪ youuu did it! ♪ so with centrum silver.y...
