top of the hour on "cnn newsroom." i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm alisyn camerota. we now know the first police report written after tyre nichols' arrest does not line up with the brutal and ultimately fatal beating that we see on body cam video.

cnn has confirmed multiple contradictions, including claims that nichols grabbed an officer's gun which was heard in one of the body camera recordings released last week by one of the officers talking about it, but it's not visible on the video. >> you were going for my gun too, so i'm, like -- >> he grabbed my gun. look. got him out the car and i was, like, hey, bro. you good? he swung and hit me. he reached for my gun and slammed into the car. >> so far, ten city employees have faced consequences in the wake of nichols' killing. of the latest, two emts and a fire department lieutenant have now been fired. that's three in the fire department and a seventh memphis officer has been relieved of duty last week. five of those seven officers were charged with second-degree murder and assault for nichols' death. cnn's ryan young has the latest from memphis. also here, cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, john miller. ryan, first, the discrepancies between the video and this

initial report, talk to us about them. >> reporter: yeah. something that we're still digging into, and of course, you can ask john about this later, but i have been talking to memphis police department officers today, and i was told when you file a police report, you file a use of force part of the report as well. you had to escalate, maybe go hands on or use some type of force, you include that in the police report, but these discrepancies stand out to us as we watch this video over and over. we'll take you through some of them. it says, nichols was an aggravated assault suspect. that stood out to us as well, and then it said he was sweating profusely and irate upon exiting the vehicle. as we watched that video, you saw the officers actually approach that car with a lot of force, and then it says nichols grabbed for detective martin's gun and then martin is listed as a victim in this case. of course, we don't see that initial pull for any officer's weapon, and then it says nichols pulled on an officer's duty belt, and there's no mention of

the kicking or punching of him, and after talking to an officer who worked in this police department for quite sometime, he said that would be listed in that incident report at some time. of course, not only have we called to see the full report that was initially put in, but we have also asked for that seventh officer name. it hasn't been released just yet. there's still a lot of questions surrounding this initial report that has come out. >> okay. so john, are discrepancies in police reports like this common? >> there's nothing common about this incident because the report does not reflect what happened. so it's more than discrepancies, but alisyn, it seems as if they have built into the narrative a series of justifications, and it's interesting that you hear them mouth some of those at the end of the beating on tape as if they're building a story that -- that goes somewhere other than we dragged a guy it of a car and started beating him and didn't stop until he was in a fatal position. >> like, he grabbed the gun. it starts to take on a life of its own. >> even more than that because

when you heard them talking in that scene we just played, one of them says, you know, i said, hey, brother, and then he came out of the car and, bam. now we've all seen that first video. >> right. >> they're screaming at him before he's ever out of the car and he's saying, what did i do? what did i do? i'm getting on the ground. okay, okay. so they're constructing a false narrative that is false from the beginning, not just the elements they add at the end. >> but they also know they're being recorded, that there's a body cam that is picking up the story, but also has the incident that doesn't reconcile with what they're explaining. >> great question, but it cuts both ways. they know that the body camera will be blocked and there's going to be chaos and confusion. not everything will be recorded so you can see it plainly. they are building that narrative while they are still recording because they know they're still recording. they're trying to say, when you look at this tape, here's the parts you might have missed. here's something that they didn't account for.

the pole camera. >> yeah. >> it captured it all clearly. there's something else here. in the report they say a lieutenant and they name him and give his shield number, made the scene, indicating he was there. this is the first time we have ever heard about a supervisor two ranks up having been present. so there's going to be a real question about, okay. this lieutenant got there when? and was there for what part of this? >> ryan, we know tyre's funeral is scheduled for tomorrow. what do we know about that? >> reporter: yeah. we do know that tomorrow breonna taylor's mother will be here, george floyd's brother will be here. we just learned the vice president will be here at the funeral tomorrow. put all this together with a news conference that's supposed to happen just in the next few hours, so much still happening here and obviously with this investigation, people asking questions about that initial incident report, and just how many times this scorpion unit was involved in incidents that haven't been reported or gone

this far. >> ryan young, john miller, thank you both very much. joining us now, patrice robinson, a member of the memphis city council. councilwoman, thank you for your time. i want to pick up where that conversation left off. we know now that there were two additional officers who have been relieved of duty. we know one of them. his name was released. the other was not. of this preston hemphill, the sixth officer, he was recorded saying, i hope they stomp his ass. he's not been fired. can any of the officers stay on board with the memphis police department, any of the officers who were involved in this incident? >> i do believe that we're going to be as transparent as possible, and i know that we're going to be fair as possible. i don't see anybody on that street at the time should work for the police department. now i may be wrong. the law might say something differently, but if they were

there and they didn't intervene, they're all in the same boat together. >> yeah. the question is, can trust be restore first-degree that officer hemphill shows up on a scene and local people know he's the person who said, i hope they stomp his ass, what degree of trust and confidence will they have that will be taken care of within the bounds of the law? do you have a concern about the lack of disclosure of these additional officers being relieved of duty not on the first day when it happened, but several weeks later? >> i have a concern starting from the beginning of what we saw on the video, and you have made it very clear. i heard it in your last segment that when they approached him in his car, they just snatched him out. we have no idea -- nobody knows why he was stopped. they said it was a traffic violation. we don't know that for sure

either. yes, i am concerned. i'm concerned that all the information did not come out at the same time, but i know the community have been pressuring the police department to issue everything that they can. i know that they're doing investigations, but we want to make sure that we were as transparent as possible, and we've made sure that we were getting information that two individuals as -- i mean, as soon as we could get it out of the office. now we knew everybody thatting l -- everybody that looked at the video knew other people were involved. now we see they are being addressed and my concern at this point is what are we going to do, and what will the laws say that we need to do moving forward, and how will the d.a. plug in at this point? >> so obviously there's a question of culture there. not only within this

now-disbanded scorpion unit, but these officers were wearing body cameras. they were in a neighborhood. there could have been cell phone cameras, the pole camera was there, and that didn't deter or discourage any of the action that we saw. on the question of culture, is chief davis the right person to continue to lead this department as it tries to shift to obviously a different culture? >> i believe she is the right person to help them shift to a different culture because you can't take people that are already in the culture and utilize them to change the culture that they are used to. it really doesn't make a lot of sense, but we don't have a lot of bad players, but we know we do have some, and we don't have as many as the public probably thinks, and my heart goes out not just to that family, but to families of all the officers

knowing that their fathers, their brothers, their own people are there each and every day working, and they want to see their fathers at the end of the day or their husbands at the end of the day, or their brothers at the end of the day, and i do believe that chief davis has moved us in the right direction, and there was nothing she could have done to have stopped what happened on that day. it was tragic. those men made very poor decisions from the beginning of the video that i saw all the way to the end. >> all right. patrice robinson, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. and to texas now where parts of the dallas-fort worth area look like ghost towns as an ice storm wreaks havoc on most of the south and central u.s. treacherous conditions sent drivers sliding out of control. crews say they have responded to

more than 100 traffic-related m emergency calls. at least two people across texas have been killed. the freezing weather also paralyzing air travel. more than 1,700 flights canceled, and more than 2,000 are delayed. >> right now, 40 million people are under winter weather alerts as officials warn ice accumulation could lead to power outages. texas governor greg abbott is saying the kbgrid is working an no problems are expected. le let's bring in jennifer gray and ed lavendera. let's start with ed. what are you hearing from people? >> reporter: as you mentioned, i think a lot of people are simply heeding those warnings and not coming out in the droves out onto the streets here, and that is because the roadways really are quite a mess. here, we are standing over highway 75 on the north side of dallas, and, you know, we have seen trucks and cars taking it extremely slowly out here on these highways, and you have

really seen the sleet that fell several hours ago. we have only had, like, one initial wave of intent sleet and icy rain here in the area throughout the day, but it has really hardened up on these highways and as we go into tomorrow, that is clearly going to be a sign of great concern because this is going to be even more slippery come tomorrow after all of this hardens in an intense overnight freeze, but it has been treacherous and dangerous for people who have been traveling. we spoke with amber and jason kelly who were driving from wichita falls to fort worth. they left last night hoping to beat the storm. they got stranded almost a little bit past halfway. they spent their entire night in the freezing temperatures in their car, trying to conservative as much gas as possible to keep that car heater going. >> decided to leave last night about 9:30, and which would be a

normal 1:45, two of hour ride, but it's already been, what? eight hours, i guess, and i'm sure we have at least three to four more hours. >> i think we came here about 11:00 p.m., and we didn't move, not one inch for seven hours or something. i mean, hours. we didn't move not one inch. >> reporter: that drive ended up taking them 12 hours. they made it safely, but they were stranded there on that highway with hundreds of other cars that just weren't moving and that is the situation that people are dealing with here to today, victor and alisyn. >> what an ordeal. so jennifer, what can we expect in the next couple of days? >> guy, we're going to continue to get waves of this. once this ends in dallas, we'll see another wave of this by tomorrow, and freezing rain is the worst case scenario when it comes to winter precipitation

because it latches on and freezes to all the surfaces, whether it's the roads, your car, the power lines, the trees, anything, and so it's creating incredibly dangerous situation as temperatures stay below freezing. we got another round of this. it's going to be compounded over the next day or two. little rock in this as well, and you can see it's already moving into memphis. so that's another area we're going to be watching, and you can see just looking at the roads it doesn't look like much. it may catch you by surprise, but you are going to slide. there's no way you can drive over ice. it is just incredibly slippery, especially for those bridges and overpasses. we could see up to a half an inch of ice in those areas shaded in blue, about a quarter of an inch in the pink. you see all the ice reports of sleet and ice anywhere from texas to the ohio valley. so this is far-reaching. we have seen more than a quarter of an inch of ice across arkansas, missouri, texas, about a quarter of an inch to a half of inch.

it will break those tree limbs, guys and we could see power outages from this as well as we get into tomorrow and we go through our third round of this in a couple of days. >> all right, jennifer gray, ed lavendera. thank you. so the investigations into donald trump appear to be gaining momentum. find out who is talking now to a federal grand jury about those classified documents discovered at mar-a-lago. and the george santos sagai. >> you sound tired. you sound exhausted by it. >> aren't we all? why the new york congressman is now not serving on two house committees. unlock new insights and efficiency-right now. allow monitoring o of productivy at remote job sites, with next-generatition bandwidt. enable ai cameras that spopot factory issues in real time, using next-generation speed. and deliver ultra-capacity 5g coverage that's years ahead of the competition. t-mobile for business has 5g that's ready right now.

decided this on his own. >> nobody tells me to do anything. i've made a decision on my own that i thought best represented the interest of the house. >> cnn's chief congressional correspondent manu raju is with us now. speaker mccarthy just named santos to these committees. how's he reacting to this announcement? >> reporter: well, he is supporting this decision. they had met behind closed doors yesterday. santos said he informed kevin mccarthy about this decision. mccarthy indicated that santos needs to clear up these questions that continue to build up day after day. santos has claimed he would have a press conference to answer these questions. he has not done that, but mccarthy indicated it's time for santos to respond to these lingering questions, and at that point assuming these are resolved, then he can serve on these committees. >> i've met with george santos yesterday, and i think it was the appropriate decision that until he can clear everything up, he's off committees right

now. >> is that something that you asked him in the meeting? >> we had a discussion, and he asked me if he could do that. i think it was the appropriate decision. >> reporter: now mccarthy still is not calling on santos to resign even though a vast majority of voters including from one poll from his district say that he should resign. republicans and democrats, mccarthy has not gone that far including elise stefanik also not going that far. when i asked her about the situation, and santos himself indicating he will not resign his seat, but he put out this statement about why he is stepping down from these two commi committee. he said with the ongoing investigations i have submitted a request to speaker mccarthy that i be temporarily recused from my committee assignments until i am cleared and there are so many questions santos has not answered from reporters like myself in the hallway about why he fabricated major portions of his life story.

all these questions about his campaign finances and these questions continue to swirl. i think the ethics investigation could be launched here, but here a sign after weeks of defiance from george santos, a sign here that he is -- he is bowing to some of this pressure and stepping down from two committees as others are calling for him to step down from congress altogether. guys? >> certainly not for lack of trying to get your questions answered. manu raju, thank you very much. >> thanks, manu. new video just released from the august deposition of former president trump. he was deposed as part of the new york district attorney's investigation into fraudulent practices at the trump organization. here's the former president explaining why he pleaded the fifth for the entirety of this interview. >> anyone in my position not taking the fifth amendment would be a fool, an absolute fool. one statement or answer that is ever so slightly off, just ever so slightly by accident, by

mistake such as it was a sunny, beautiful day when actually it was slightly overcast would be met by law enforcement. >> well, that case resulted in fines and penalties for the trump organization, but the former president is facing a lot of personal legal trouble as well. cnn has new reporting that two people who found classified documents in a trump storage facility in florida have testified before a federal grand jury. federal prosecutors are also pushing to look at files on a laptop of at least one staff member around trump at mar-a-lago. cnn's senior legal analyst elie honig is here, and he's also the author of the new b book "untouchable: how powerful people get away with it" rocketing up the charts right now. what report do we have about

what's going on? >> there are three investigations swirling around donald trump. we have been here before, the swirling phase. number of them have resulted in indictment. let's take stock starting with that justice department investigation. it has -- it was 73 days ago, i counted, when merrick garland appointed jack smith as special counsel. jack smith has two jobs, to investigate january 6th first of all. we have not seen movement on that. could be happening behind closed doors and to investigate the mar-a-lago documents scandal. as you said, we have reporting that two people have gone into the grand jury that recovered those documents. that tells us that jack smith continues to move ahead in that part of the investigation. now how is this going to play for now? when jack smith is ready, he will make a recommendation to the attorney general, indict or don't indict. the final word, however, is up to merrick garland. by law, he has to give jack smith's recommendations, quote, great weight. so we'll see how this plays out. ultimately this will be up to merrick garland. >> of course, bonnie willis in georgia is looking into former

president trump's alleged efforts to overturn the election in that state. how could that affect the 2024 presidential campaign? >> this could be the most immediate case of all the pending cases. the district attorney we found out in the last couple of weeks has finished her presentation to the special grand jury. we're not seeing that report as of this moment. the special grand jury cannot indict, but what the special grand jury can do is make a recommendation. ultimately, again, it will be up to bonnie willis whether she wants to go to a regular jury, to seek an indictment, and fani willis said to a judge, that, quote, decisions are iminnocent. now people asked me mean, is that a legal technical word? no. it means imminent. it means soon. whatever fani willis thinks is soon, is soon, but i would take her at her word and i think we will hear what her decisions are. >> how about that hush money payment to stormy daniels? is that back again? >> this is the oldest and the newest. this dates back to 2016, but

there are brand-new developments here. we've just learned that the new york d.a., the manhattan d.a., a state-level prosecutor here in manhattan is going to put evidence of these hush money payments in front of a grand jury. that could result in an indictment, and it's interesting because this goes back so far in time, and i think the question is what has happened? this goes back 6 1/2 years to before the campaign. why now, and will the jury see fit to indict? we're talking about new york state level crimes here, and that is a surprising development and one we'll watch carefully. >> you have reporting in the new book that says feds actually looked at this as well, but they decided not to pursue it. why? >> yeah. so this is in my new book, victor. i take us inside the justice department, the southern district of new york. i get into the federal decision. they are across the street. this is my old office across the street from the manhattan d.a. they considered this very question in 2021 as donald trump was getting ready to leave

office. they had a series of internal meetings. do we indict him? do we not indict him? they were contentious. they were high-stakes. i take you inside those meetings. we know the outcome. we know they did not indict donald trump on those hush money cases, but what i found sp interesting in my reporting is it wasn't because they felt they didn't have the evidence. they had enough to indict, but they decided not to for various political and practical reasons, and i think it'll be interesting, does the d.a. now weigh that evidence any differently? >> all right. elie, thank you. and congratulations on the new book. >> thank you so much. i hear it's the hottest thing, you know, in town right now. >> yeah, unbiased. i cannot wait to read it. >> i can't wait for people to see it. there's a lot in there people will love. >> thank you. >> thanks. florida lawmakers are proposing a bill that would allow people to carry a concealed gun without needing a gun permit. we'll speak with one of the bill's sponsors next. also, a disappearing leopard, a dead have you cher,

in florida, a group of republican lawmakers have introduced a new bill that would allow floridians to carry a concealed gun without a license.

current florida law requires a concealed carry permit, which you can only get after completing an instructional firearm safety course and additional background checks. this bill would eliminate those requirements entirely, allowing anyone who is legally allowed to own a firearm to carry it without a permit. state representative michelles soman is here. thank you so much for being here. tell us what evidence or research you have that this will make people safer. >> i'm not sure that we filed this bill to make floridians safer. i think we filed this bill to provide floridians with the opportunity to exercise their got- god-given right, their second amendment right to carry a firearm. >> as you foeknow, the country awash in gun violence. we're looking for ways to make citizens safer, and what i'm perplexed about with this bill

is the lack of the training aspect that was a criteria for getting this permit. why lose that component? why wouldn't you want the most trained people possible to be able to carry a gun? >> so this bill does not eliminate the permit -- the conceal carry permit license. this bill does not eliminate the ability for floridians to go out and receive that training or get that permit. as a matter of fact, that permit is a great tool for floridians to travel across state or swas well as to eliminate the wait for them to pick up their firearm if they have that conceal carry permit. their background check is a lot quicker. >> yeah. >> the process to pick up the weapon is a lot quicker. it's not eliminating the training. it's justing floridian. >> the training is not necessary. >> that's correct.

i would say -- >> don't you want the most trained people to have the guns? >> i personally am a previous armorer in the united states army. i'm very familiar with weapons as well as training for weapons and the importance of weapon safety, but i think that your conversation where you try to mix in mental health and the crisis of violence with handguns or guns in general, it's not fair. you know, florida has doubled their efforts each year for the past several years, each year doubling what we did the last year in mental health funding and we have been really working hard in that whole arena, trying to find ways to solve the problem for the mental health crisis that we have, not just in florida, but across the nation. >> so why leave that conversation? sure. so after parkland, i think that florida made great strides in terms of, you know, the connection between mental health and guns. so why isn't that fair? i mean, one of the -- let me get

to my question about the permit because i think that that ties it in. basically in the past six months, the state rejected 3,100 applications for these concealed carry permits from people who wanted one of these permits, but were denied -- but were deemed ineligible because of either mental illness or domestic violence or substance abuse or because they did not demonstrate competency with a firearm. so was the state wrong to deny those applications? >> absolutely not, but this bill does not affect laws relating to the purchase of a firearm and will not allow anyone prohibited from possessing a firearm to carry concealed. those people that are carrying -- the criminals out there will carry whether or not they have the concealed permit. this permit -- eliminating that permit process doesn't mean you have to apply to buy the ha handgun. you have to get the background check. we're not willy-nillying it.

you have to do that piece. >> i get it, except that it was the piece of the concealed carry permit that flagged and prevented those 3,106 permits for a reason. so in other words, they were flagged for some reason. >> it prevents them from getting from conceal carry permit, but it has nothing to do with whether or not they were qualified to buy the firearm. if somebody wants to go shoot somebody, they're not going to worry if they have a concealed carry permit. >> understood, but they were flagged for some reason. it's either mental health, or it's because, again, they did not demonstrate competency with a firearm. wherever you can flag them, it seems like we don't want someone who's not competent with a firearm. here's the sheriff from orange county. he's what he says. he's in law enforcement, the current sheriff. he says, allowing people to carry guns openly or without a permit is a recipe for disaster. we have too many violent encounters because of simple

agreements. throwing more guns into the mix will only increase shootings and death by gun fire. what do you say about that? >> i say our constitution protects gun ownership rights and the ability to carry a firearm. violent career criminals are not allowing for a state permit to carry a gun. removing the permitting process will assist our law-abiding citizens with the protections they need to defend themselves and their families from those criminals who intend to do them harm. so we have -- you have one sheriff that says one thing and another sheriff that says another, and let's not forget that the actual person that filed the bill is a retired chief investigator with the baker county sheriff's office, a former deputy with the u.s. marshal, and of course, we're all certified gun owners. so i would say that we could easily find ways to refute what one person says versus another, but at the end of the day, this is about our constitutional rights and we took a lot of those away with the marjory stoneman douglas bill.

we did a lot of great things with that legislation, but making the age from 18 to 21 was a bad move. >> well. i mean, obviously that's -- i hear you, but obviously that's not how the students feel and, in fact, i talked to one of them today who said they find it insulting and hurtful that just two weeks before the five-year anniversary that you are talking about this. do those feelings matter? >> i would say the timing is bad, but the timing wasn't intentional. i can assure you that had nothing to do with it. we take mental health in florida very seriously, and we certainly respect and love on all of those families that had that horrible experience. so that was not an intentional smite. we certainly do embrace those children and their families and feel very bad, but one does not equal the other. the second amendment does not equal mental health and does not equal, you know, the safety that those children should feel in school. >> florida state representative michelle assalzman, thank you f

just into cnn, a district attorney in new mexico has just formally filed involuntary manslaughter charges against actor alec baldwin and on-set armorer hannah gutierrez-reed for the fatal shooting on the "rust" movie set.

>> josh campbell has been following this from the beginning. what have you learned? >> reporter: we have been waiting on these charges to come in. the district attorney's office telling us a short time ago that alec baldwin has been formally charged along with the armorer who was on the set of this movie, "rust" at the of the fatal shooting back in 2021 that claimed the life of cinematographer halyna hutchins. these charges including involuntary manslaughter. i'll break that down for you because prosecutors could have opted for a lesser charge, a petty misdemeanor in new mexico, negligence of a firearm, but in their view they said a felony charge was warranted, involuntary manslaughter. i spoke with the district attorney earlier this month there in santa fe, and she said this didn't come down to one particular piece of evidence, but in her words, the totality of the circumstances. she described that the investigation uncovered incident after incident of this set having unsafe practices, and the district attorney saying that had alec baldwin, the set's

armorer and the set's assistant director done their job in ensuring a safe set, this wouldn't have happened. we heard from attorneys from alec baldwin as well as hannah gutierrez-reed, the armorer. the attorneys say their respective clients are innocent. as far as what happens next, these are serious charges. if one is convicted, that could carry a sentence of up to 18 months in pridson, but in this particular case, there is a firearm enhancement, a crime involving a gun which means that if convicted, both baldwin and gutierrez-reed could face up to five years in prison. so again, very serious charges here. those documents are now being transmitted and uploaded into the state's court record system. we should have those shortly, but the news just in, alec baldwin has now been criminally charged. >> thank you, josh campbell. a dramatic image on long island. this is where a massive hutmpbak

farming that's been going out here and the humpback whales, we put that question to those who are out here from the federal government to get their perspective on what's going on. >> yeah. again, it's a science-based agency. so we really go by the facts and the evidence. and right now there is no evidence to suggest there is offshore wind activity that is linked to any of these whale deaths. >> reporter: so again right now a necropsy is being performed. look at what's going on, the backhoe is up here. you see those mounds over there, alisyn and victor, that is where the whale is going to be buried. that is supposed to be some time later this evening once all this is wrapped up. but again, the big question as to why. why so many of these whales are doing it in such a short order of time. back to you. >> all right, jason carroll for us there on lido beach, thank you. now to this, an escaped
