11:01 am
charged in the death of tyre nichols. the 29-year-old was killed more than two weeks ago after an encounter with the memphis police. the court records show that the ex-officers have been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault and kidnapped. they were fired less than a week ago after an internal investigation. the courthouse says that they will be charged with criminal charges. a warning that the images that you will see is disturbing. this is how nichols looked before his encounter with police, and then he was pulled over, and the nichols family said they saw the beating of their son, and they described it as savage. don lemon is in memphis, and don, what are the sources telling you about the release of the video? >> well, they are telling us that it is going to be tomorrow, and that is the plan as of now, victor, they will release it
11:02 am
sometime tomorrow, and they are still coordinating and still meeting, and this is the plan as of now, and they believe that the video is going to be released tomorrow. to give you an indication of just how bad the officers' actions were on this video, police chief has been speaking out, and releasing a statement earlier this morning about what she thought about what the officers did and also releasing a statement moments ago. take a look. >> this is a failing of basic humanity toward another individual. this incident was heinous, reckless and inhumane, and in the vein of transparency, when the video is released in the coming days, you will see this for yourselves. >> so in the coming days you will see it for yourself. this is what i want everyone to know. there is no indication here, no indications that there will be violence, but what they are trying to do is to tamp down the violence. they know what is on the video,
11:03 am
and it is obvious according to the police chief and others that it is bad. it is not good. so what they are trying to do is to get people used to the idea that what they are going to be seeing is very disturbing, and therefore to quell any violence that is a possibility here, but so far, they don't believe it is going to happen, and they are trying to bring the temperature down. two people who i believe who can agree with that is reporting since the very beginning, and that is shimon prokupiez and sara sidner, and good morning. and since we last spoke this morning on cnn this morning, there have been major developments since this morning of the investigation, and charges of the officers and what is going to be said at the press conference coming up. >> certainly, the charges are significant here. you are seeing that all five officers charged with murder, kidnapping, assault and there is an acting in concert count, and they are acting together, and this is the charges. and the murder charge is significant, but seeing that
11:04 am
kidnapping charge, and there is allegations there that the d.a. is going to claim that they forced, you know, this victim into the location, and they didn't let him leave, and they did not let him free himself, and that is very significant, and of course, the murder charges are what everyone is going to be thinking about, because it is so significant to see five officers in such a case charged with murder and based on everything that we know about this video from the police chief, the sound that you played and from what the family wanted, it seems that this is what the authorities thought was appropriate in this case and bringing the charges. >> second-degree murder, two cases of aggravated misconduct, and oppression, and this is according to the shelby county criminal courts, and this is very serious stuff. and sara, not just the announcing of it, but it is in the criminal records, but to think about that, the degree of
11:05 am
the charges before we even see the video, and the community is just here, i mean, outraged already. >> it tells you how bad the video is when you are looking at the charges. i know that shimon has been covering police across the country, and social protests the across the country, and you have covered it. >> and beyond. >> and kidnapping, and when a police officer is in the job, doing his job, that kidnapping would be a charge that they would see. so whatever is shown on this video that we will all at some point see, it tells you how disgusting frankly and how brutal this was at the hands of people who are professionals or supposed to be and who are supposed to protect and serve which is why you are hearing from the family and they have
11:06 am
been very careful to say what they have said one time, and they have said that no one should ever have to see this happen to who is described as a quirky guy. he was working at fedex, and we have learned that he would go home to have a meal cooked by his mother on a regular basis when he would take his break. so this is somebody who was sort of trying to live his life. and to hear this happening after a supposedly reckless driving incident which is what the officers initially said is the reason for pulling him over, this, they are not the judge. they are not the jury, and they are certainly not thexecutioner seeing how seriously the police leadership is taking this, and we know that the community is going to be seeing this, and the murder says they want nothing less than premeditated murder
11:07 am
one. and murder is the knowing killing of someone, and you did not premeditate it, and that is difference of 50 to 60 years, and so these are not small charges in any shape or form, and they are significant as you reported, but the community, and this video that for this community and the communities across the country, this is going to be hard to take, and hard to keep the emotions down, but so far it has been very peaceful. >> i think this is important, because we were talking about the video, and also, you have reporting on the audio, and sound that i want the viewers to hear. >> you mean the radio transmissions. >> yes. >> so we have not been able to piece it together what has happened here, and the police have not given us a detailed account of how things unfolded here, but we have been able to pull some audio from the website that has the police radio transmissions, and i believe we have that, and we will air it,
11:08 am
but what it is showing is the encounter of the officers chasing him down, and at one point they lose him, and find him again, and then there is another encounter, and where on the dispatcher says that he is fighting. so just some context, and we don't have the full context of this, but it is going to give you a glimpse into what happened that day. take a listen. >> we have one male, black, running. >> and from? >> a scorpion car and running. >> run that tag, and see what the address is. >> show me. >> he is fighting at this time. and so we don't know how long this took, because there is a initial chase and they move him and find him at another location and how many times they encounter him and where this all
11:09 am
happened is not clear, but the family has raised issue with how they treated him when they first stopped him, and there was not a de-escalation, and they escalated the situation, and s sara, you are talking about the mother and his home, and this is 80 yards from the home, and that is something significant for the authorities thinking about this, and you are talking about the community and the law enforcement all around, and the country son edge, and it is because in many ways they fear what they know has happened previously in these kinds of situations like a george floyd. they have not had the opportunity, i think that george floyd, they did not have the opportunity to prepare the community for what they were seeing, and it was a complete ply dicompletely different video, and in the hands of a bystander, and this is in control of the police, and
11:10 am
this is a opportunity to prepare the community for what they are about to see. >> i see the reporting, and i agree, there is not as much transparency as there could be in this situation. >> no, i don't think so. >> but a different level of coordination of warning public about what they are going to see. and also, think about in this case, what is different is that the police chief fired officers is immediately, and you flo longer have the officers on the job, and they are facing charges and consequences whatever they are. thank you, sara and shimon. i want to bring in the long-time law enforcement analysts, charles and eli honig, and the police chief has called it heinous and inhumane ahead of us seeing the video, and what does that say to you about what is on the video?
11:11 am
>> well, we have not seen the video, and she has seen it, and so has the u.s. attorney, and the district attorney and all of them have stated that it is pretty bad and gruesome. so, that is telling me that one, she took strong action right off of the bat by firing them. the d.a. is going to announce charges later today, and this is why we have not seen the video yet, because they are trying to get as much out front of this as possible. firing, charges, all of that, and getting the people psychologically ready to see what they are about to see, because they are trying to avoid a george floyd-type situation. this is not going to affect memphis, and this could lead to protests around the country, and depending upon what the video looks like and i have no reason to believe that it is other than anything than bad. >> charles, is this effective other than doing what she is
11:12 am
doing and not releasing anything to the media other than trying to get ahead of it? >> i do. i do. i mean, we will find out, and you are going to be having widespread protests and a small group of individuals in memphis or elsewhere who are going to be trying to hijack the peaceful demonstrations and turn it violet, and you have to prepare for it. she is doing everything that she can to try and minimize that. but, you know, nothing is going to be absolute in terms of being able to, you know, stop everything from perhaps occurring. >> yeah. charles, one more for you. do you believe it is different this time especially when it is comes to the possibility of violence? the victim, black, all five officers are black, and we don't know the ethnicity of the two fire department workers or firefighters who have also been fired, and we don't know their
11:13 am
ethnicities, and the police chief is black, and the community is black as well. usually, we are reporting on these incidents and it is usually white officers and black victim, and do you believe it is going to make a difference? >> well, the race should not make a difference. it should not. if everything that i am hearing and based on those charges, the officers acted way outside of their lawful authority, and they should be charged and it should not matter whether they are black, white, hispanic or what have you, and people should not die in police custody, period. if they do, there has to be an in depth investigation to find out why, what happened, and sometime you have to use the force to take a person in custody, but the question is how much was too much? was it necessary? was it proportional? objectively. so those are the things that you to look for, and if the answers are no, then it does not matter
11:14 am
the race of the officers. >> i mean in terms of the public? >> no, i don't think so, because it is a police action, and what you will hear is that it is not about the color, but blue. and you will hear about those kinds of things, and i don't think it is going to have much of an impact, and the first reaction that people would have if it is a racial type of situation, white officers and black suspect, you know, people would make certain assumption, but i, i don't think it is going to be any different in terms of the reaction on the part of the public. >> elie honig, i want to bring in the charges, second-degree murder, aggravated assault, two charges of kidnapping and one of misconduct and one of misconduct and this is according for the shelby county court records and what are they charged with? >> it is the level of murder
11:15 am
here. there is a first-degree murder statute in tennessee that is not charged here, and that is what the family wanted, but what is charged here is second-degree murder which is the knowing murder of a person which is 50 to 60 degrees in prison punishable, and there were other lesser options available to the prosecutors and they could have charged voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, and lesser versions of statutes to killing another human being, and they settled on the second-degree murder, and so, another thing that is noteworthy and i am looking to more information and sara flagged this, the kidnapping charges. people are wondering what that means, and i am wondering what that means. but kidnapping means to restrict someone's movement, and someone's freedom of movement, and then moving or transporting that person. so, i wonder, and i wonder if
11:16 am
there is going to be an explanation of the charge, and perhaps the police restrained this person and moved this person from one place to another by car or on foot, and that is unusual as well. >> and elie honig, i said, will someone be charge and this is before the charge and the indictments came down, and they said that somebody will be charged, and somebody is going to jail, and you don't commit or not involved in something like this without someone going to jail, and they said of course an indictment would have to come first and then an arrest warrant, and that would trigger some sort of surrender org apprehension. so they have not announced officially what the charges are, and what we are hearing is coming from the shelby county court records and the d.a. has not officially announced the charges, but unless you are not indicted or charged, you don't turn yourselves in. so they had been charged earlier otherwise they would not have turned themselves in. and do you believe that some of them are going to jail here?
11:17 am
>> oh, they are going to jail, and it is an interesting question whether they will get bail, and whether the judge is going to let them out pending trial, and whether the d.a. asks them to be held pending trial, and don, it is interesting to note that we are seeing the state charges here from the state of tennessee, and we could see federal charges from the united states of justice, and that is not a double jep ti problem, because you can have state and federal charges here, and the federal charges in play are the criminal violation of a criminal violation of a person e's rights, and look no further than minneapolis where george floyd's criminal trial where there were very serious charges and so these five officers have very serious legal problems. >> thank you, elie honig.
11:18 am
and in under an hour, my colleague, victor blackwell, there is going to be under an hour the official charges and the district attorney will be expected to have a press conference and what he is expected to say, and now that the officers have surrendered to the authorities here in memphis. >> we have about 45 minutes shy of that. and so your interview is coming, and the sources are telling you that the video or the videos of this incident will be released tomorrow. don, we will get right back to you, and until then, the latest checkup of the u.s. economy is out, and it is better than expected, and president biden is going to be speaking to that promising news. and now, metaimetasay it isg to reinstate former prpresident trump's social media accccounts

11:22 am
11:23 am
expectations. matt egan is here to break down the numbers. all right. walk us through them. what do they mean? >> well, victor, it is like the report card day for the economy, and the grades are in and they are pretty good. 2.9% gdp for the end of the year is pretty solid with the gloom and doom. and we had negative growth to start the day, which is the economic equivalent of flunking, and looking inside of the numbers today, there were positives here, and government spending helped, an consumer spending slowed down, but it stayed positive, and business spending was positive, and the big negative was housing. it is not a big surprise, because the mortgage rates have come up so significantly. and we got new numbers on the jobless claims. the initial claims unexpectedly dropped to the lowest level since april. on that chart, you can see that they are down big time from the start of 2021 and lower than a year ago, and this is a proxy
11:24 am
for layoffs and despite all of the job cut announcements that we keep hearing about, the jobs market remains healthy. >> so the report is b, works well with others? >> yes, b, works well with others. that works. >> so the question is for some time now, can the fed pull off a soft landing with the increases in the numbers? >> well, the numbers today suggests that the economy is looking resilient, and surprisingly resilient. and the recession is still a possibility, but a soft landing is too. so i talked to the top economist at goldman sachs, and he said that a soft landing is not only possible, but it is likely. listen to what else he had to say. >> no, we don't expect a recession. our expectation is that we will see positive gdp numbers, and we are saying that we are estimating a 35% probability
11:25 am
that it will be a recession. >> so 35% chance of a recession is not nothing, but it is a lot lower than what other economists are expecting, and so one catch is if washington fumbles the debt ceiling, because it is a big concern out there, and i asked the goldman sachs economist that question, if there is a recession if there is a default or near default, and he said, yes, there could be so much mayhem in the markets that it could infect the rest of the economy. so it is interesting that we have to keep an eye on what happens with the debt ceiling, and despite the optimism, and the growing sense of the soft landing, the debt ceiling could muddy the debt ceiling. >> so washington could tip it over. >> yes. >> thank you, matt egan. all five officers have been charged in the death of tyre nichols. we will learn more about the charges and any moment, we will take you there live.

11:31 am
those police officers. it was an unadulterated unabashed non-stop beating. >> and i want you [ bleep ] and it could have been your son, and it could have been you -- don't you gavel me, because i am here the tell you they can speak without the microphone. >> the community outrage here in memphis over or the police beating and eventual death of 29-year-old tyre nichols here on january 3rd. the parents are speaking out about their son telling the world really what he is like, and what they are feeling now. we are awaiting, i should say the shelby county district attorney to come and speak to us, and as a matter of fact, he is here, and we will talk to him about exactly what this means, and the charges mean for the
11:32 am
officers and what he is expected to announce coming up in a few minutes here at 2:00 p.m. central time here in memphis, tennessee. shelby county district attorney, sir, thank you, sir. we appreciate your joining us here on cnn and we have gotten word and confirmation from the attorney, and the court records that the officers have been charged. can you speak to us about the charges and the family wanted first-degree murder charges, and this is not appearing to be the case. >> yes. so there are charges, and i will be announcing them at the press conference in a few minutes, and i would rather not go into too much detail, but that is the case, there are charges and the grand jury returned indictments and we will announce all of the details in a moment. >> so all five officers we are getting confirmation that they have surrendered, is that correct? >> yes. >> there are for some of the charges, and some face different charges or the same charges, but different counts or more counts than others and can you explain
11:33 am
that to us, and why is that? >> well, i can't confirm that is the case. >> you can't confirm that is the case, and this is possibly a mistake? >> i think that might be. >> okay. i want to go over the charges and you can respond what you want. >> second-degree murder, aggravated assault, two charges of aggravated kidnapping, and that is unusual, aggravated kidnapping. >>ly -- and i will go over this at the press conference, but aggravated kidnapping is when you unlawfully constrain someone's physical liberty, and the possession of a weapon, and what the intention started out to be lawful one, and then becomes an unlawful one, and that person is unlawfully confind and this is kidnapping, and if bodily injury ensues or
11:34 am
injuries ensue, that is aggravation. >> so what is official misconduct. >> that is when an official intentionally authorizes misconduct in the performance of their duty, and in that statute, it says if you are imposed by duty of law to do something, and you don't, then through your inaction, you are also engaged in that same offense. so, law enforcement officials who are on duty have an affirmative duty to prevent unlawful detention and unlawful injuries as well as unlawful to do it actively as well. >> i have covered this year, and you can see shimon and sara over there, and we have covered a number of these stories sadly. but at this point to see officers charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, that is highly unusual, and as i said, the family wanted first-degree murder, but
11:35 am
second-degree murder, and why? is that speaking to what is in the video, go on? >> well, it does, don, you are right. it is serious business. these are extremely serious charges, and you are correct to saying that this is more serious than the typical officer-involved fatality case, but i think that after everyone sees the video, there is not going to be a question about the charges. >> do you anticipate more charges of more people, because there are fire department individuals involved in that case. >> that is something that i will be handling at the press conference, but the investigation is ongoing and certain charges that are made today does not preclude more charges made later on. >> so, let's talk about the video, it is body cam video or from a stationary position? >> both. >> how many different sources of video do you have? >> multiple sources of video, and i think that it is fair to say that when the public release
11:36 am
occurs, and i think that it is going to be soon, and people will be able to see the entire incident from beginning to end, including the first encounter and then the second encounter in which the serious injuries occurred. >> how much is there, and how long are the videos? >> i think that what is going to be released and this is really a question better directed to the city of memphis, but i understanding is that when the city of memphis releases the video, it is somewhere in the neighborhood of an hour. >> an hour of video. >> yes. >> so will it be redacted or edited in any way? >> yeah, yeah, there have to be redactions, don, to protect the identity of people who were city employees who were not involved and you may hear a bleep of a phone number or reductions that are aimed to protecting third parties. >> i am having sources that the
11:37 am
video is going to be released tomorrow, and negotiations between your office and the memphis police department to make sure that you have this all in order, and that you want to coordinate it. >> it is best discussed at the press conference, but we have been in constant consultation with our office and the city of memphis, and that the release of the video will occur relatively soon after the conclusion of my press conference with the formal announcement. >> why so long? >> we wanted to make sure that the video is not going to compromise the investigation. we do not want people to speak to the law enforcement without knowledge of what we want, and you don't want nonsuspect witnesses to start testifying of what they saw on tv with what they witnessed with their own eyes, and it is not typical of this case, but general rule. >> and one of the producers is speaking to me, and can you ask me while i have the district attorney while he is here.
11:38 am
any other -- oh, yes. that is not related to the video, but i wanted to ask if there are other charges on top of this, and can the charges escalate? >> well, so, both with respect to other charges with the persons who have already been charged or other persons, that is always an option, and that can always happen later on, but i will say this, the investigation is ongoing. nothing that we have done today precludes any further charges. >> nothing today precludes any further charges. why haven't we learned the names of the fire department folks and who they are, and why is that? >> that is a good question, and we have not charged them today, and so that is a better directed to the city of memphis, and we are only talking about the people who have been charged
11:39 am
today. >> thank you, and we know that you have to go in and do the press conference and i am sorry that i am tearing up here, because it is freezing cold out here. and so, when the official announcement here of the charges, but he gave us good information of why they are charging and what we will see on the video, and what is on the video released, and according to my sources that they are going to be releasing that tomorrow, and also, he gave us information regarding the other two people who are involved in this with the fire department and why haven't they been name and charge and what is their involvement in this as well, victor. >> it is fascinating interview, and a lot of clarity there with the charges and you had a conversation with elie with that aggravated charge there on the list of the former officers now. and don, we will get right back to you, and of course, we will be bringing that news conference with the d.a. at the top of the
11:40 am
hour, and now, back with us is the former law enforcement analysis charles and elie honig, and what is standing out to you? >> well, what is standing out to me, is that under the tennessee law, they chose not to bring first-degree murder, and that is under tennessee law it is premeditated, and second-degree murder is showing a knowing murder. it is significant that the d.a. has brought knowing murder and as opposed to voluntary or involuntary manslaughter, and we have clarity on the kidnapping charges which is to restrict a person's movement where there is a weapon involved or freedom -- >> and able to move. >> and what is aggravated is weapon or injury involved. and the d.a. explained to don official misconduct and oppression as it is called in tennessee, the charges and these
11:41 am
are the flipsides of the same coin, and official misconduct means public official or police officer or anything else, and you violate the duty in a criminal way, and oppression is the inaction, and we don't know the fact, but we have seen other cases like this where some of the police officers were charged not necessarily for what they did, but for a failure to render aid. there is five officers here, a if it turns out that one or two of them did not physically assault the individual, but failed to render aid that is where that charge of official oppression comes in. >> and the d.a. did not want to step on his own announcement, so there is not the full narrative of what happened on january 10th, but the clarity of the charges and the time line, and what did you take away from don's interview? >> well, multiple video available and both the body-worn cameras and some stationary cameras, and so, approximately one hour worth of video and probably a lot of inaction in
11:42 am
that hour period of time, and so eventually it is going to be edited down to show exactly what took place in terms of the force and that sort of thing. they have a strong case here, and a lot of evidence, and i can just tell from the way that everyone is talking about this that it is something that really is, it is pretty severe in terms of the actions of the police suff officers. so we will be seeing the video ourselves pretty soon. i imagine that they were waiting to get everything in line, the charges, you know, the firing of the officers first, and the charges and all of that sort of thing. don had asked me earlier if it would make a difference if the officers were black and the suspect is black. i think that if anything makes a difference in terms of the public's reaction to this is the swiftness in which the officials are dealing with this. both the firing, the charging and everything that is going on right now. if it does make a difference, it is because of that.
11:43 am
>> this incident was on january 7th, and nichols died on january 10th from the injuries related. elie, what is the expectation on bail for these officers? >> that is a big question for the prosecution, will they let these officers is out on bail which is months away or seek to have the police officers locked up pending trial. i will tell you that it vary by jurisdiction, but typically in a second-degree murder, knowing murder case or the equivalent, you would seek to have them locked up. that is a difficult decision that the d.a. is going to have to make. >> elie and charles, thank you, both. and now, there was no minced words today with the classified documents rulings, and that those with access need to be more conscious. that is ahead.

well, now to a cnn exclusive. some of the classified documents found in the indiana home of the former vice president mike pence were briefing memos meant to prepare him for foreign trips. cnn's evan perez has been following the developments. so what more do we know about the documents found at pence's home? >> reporter: well, victor w, wh we know is these documents are in lower classification than what we've seen in the biden investigation, the investigation of classified documents that were found at the home and of the private office of president biden and of course, the hundreds of classified documents that were found in mar-a-lago at the home of former president trump. we know that the documents were described as briefing memos before the vice president was meeting foreign officials on foreign trips and so that is a very common thing that would be

prepared for him. >> do we know after this news conference, if there will be another special counsel for these documents found at the vice president's home? >> reporter: we don't know yet, right, victor? but it does raise an important big question for the attorney general in merrick garland. he hasn't said what he's going to do. you get the sense from the justice department they view this case of former vice president pence a lot differently because it doesn't raise the same conflict of interest concerns that former president trump and of course, joe biden raises for -- for the attorney general and the department. vice president pence has not said that he's going to run for office at this point. so at this point at least, the justice department i think is viewing this in a different -- from a different lens, and so we'll see whether there are more documents found or additional information that comes forward that forces their hand on this,

facebook and twitter at the time. facebook has said that after two years they would consider putting him back on the platform. now how they would decide to do that is to kind of take the mood, the pulse of the nation, and they determined, they said they believe the threat of further violence in this country has receded, which, you know, i think folks could argue with that, but they said they no longer see a threat there posed by trump, and they also make the point that, look. this is going to be a campaign for 2024. the public should be able to hear from him, good, bad, and ugly. they say they're going to have some more guardrails in place that he could get kicked off again, but one of the kind of weird parts of all of this is he is allowed to still lie about the 2020 election. >> okay. >> you but he's not allowed to lie about the 2024 election. >> that makes it all better.

it's good now. >> you see what i'm saying? he's still undermining the election integrity and whatnot, but look. as he imagined, partisan sides of this, and people are saying it's good he's back. it's not good. i think the aclu came out with an important statement saying, look. we have many issues with trump, but meta made the right decision, and people should hear from him. >> we'll see if he uses the platforms. he's allowed back on twitter, but he hasn't tweeted since elon musk ended that suspension. thank you for that reporting. any minute now, the shelby county d.a. will give an update on the tyre nichchols case. we'll bring that update live. ♪ go betty! ♪ let's be more than o our allergies! zeize the day. withth zyrtec.
