items delivered on time, go to four imprint .com imprint for certain this is cnn. the world's news network. tonight already announcing he's running. it's only been five months and embattled republican congressman jorge santos is now already officially announcing that he will run for re election in 2020 for santos is on our criminal investigation and do his finances and, of course, is best known for his lies about everything from where he went to college to whether he's jewish. all of it. well, this news is sure to make his own republican colleagues in congress on easy. many have called for him to resign and step aside. our manu raju asked speaker mccarthy if he supports santos's reelection bid. mccarthy's response was to laugh. thanks so much for joining us a. c 3 60 begins now. good evening. people who live in new york city are used to seeing some unusual things. but today

they saw something they never have. before today, the house judiciary committee traveled up from washington to hold what they call the field hearing in manhattan. it was supposedly focused on crime in manhattan, which is interesting because the murder rate in manhattan is below the murder rate in washington, d. c. where the house judiciary committee is based. and it's lower than a number of big cities in republican controlled states like tampa or jacksonville or dallas or nashville or tulsa, oklahoma. so why did the judiciary committee headed by republican jim jordan come here because manhattan is where district attorney alvin bragg works and he brought charges against donald trump and jim jordan's doing all he can to protect the former president and ensure he becomes the next president of the united states. at the hearing today. jordan attacked district attorney brag , calling him soft on crime in response, bragged called today's hearing a political stunt and last week brag, sued jordan and his committee for political interference in his criminal case against the former president, specifically for what he called a campaign of intimidation, retaliation and obstruction. now multiple

sources tell cnn that the former president jim jordans, speak regularly. we don't know the topics of those conversations. but sources have told cnn that another republican lawmakers become a key point person for their former president on these investigations, and that is new york congressman middle east stefanik, who attended today's hearing, though she's not on the judiciary committee, the hearing was tense, sometimes volatile, particularly between democrats and the republican witnesses. this is a charade to cover up for an abuse of power that they are going around talking incessantly outside of this hearing about donald trump, and the purpose of this hearing is to cover up for what they know to be an inappropriate investigation. now i look forward many of you can i respond to not right now? because i only have 20 seconds. i'm sorry, but i do want to talk my intelligence that you're not time not entirely trying to insult me like i'm not aware of what's going on. thank you. okay

aware of what's going on here general label system. gentlemen gets another 15 seconds. thank you from the plantation of the democratic party. in a moment, we'll talk with new york congressman down dan goldman. he just saw who was invited by the committee democrats to join the hearing today. but first i want to go to cnn congressional correspondent jessica dean how much of chairman jordan's hearing appear genuinely focused on crime in manhattan. and we'll get to those statistics in a moment how much of it dealt with the political tax on the district attorney well, first and foremost, anderson, this was an escalation of this feud between jim jordan and the house judiciary committee, house gop members and the district attorney here in manhattan, alvin bragg that brought that indictment against former president donald trump. so that is just the fact this is escalating this already existing feud. remember they've already asked him to come down and testify. they've made charges that he did this inappropriately

. he's fired back with his from his lawyer, so there's been a lot of back and forth. and now today they were in here. his backyard. talking about crime. it's something that jim jordans who's the chairman of the committee, has said previously that this was something they wanted to do. they wanted to have field hearings in cities. of course, republicans have really used crime as a as a big issue during elections, and they wanted to have these field hearings, which simply means they come to the place. so in this case, they were in new york city to have that hearing and talk about crime. they did hear from some crime victims. but as you mentioned it got very tense between democrats and republicans. here's jim jordans. as we all know, fairness under the law is a bedrock principle of american democracy. in this country. justice is supposed to be blind, regardless of race, religion or creed. however, here in manhattan the scales of justice are weighed down by politics for the district attorney. justice isn't blind. it's about looking for opportunities to advance a political agenda, a radical

political agenda. rather than enforcing the law of the d. a is using his office to do the bidding of left wing campaign funders. now democrats, of course, push back to all of this , saying this is nothing more than a political stunt in anderson as you mentioned just a couple of minutes ago, the statistics really tell a different story than what republicans have been putting out there. chairman jordan, the former president. they've made a lot of very vocal claims about crime being at all time record levels in new york city, former president trump has said. you know, no one has ever seen it this high before d a brag obviously only oversees the borough of manhattan. but the reality is crime is not anywhere near the highest it's ever been in new york city. right and i can give you just a couple of numbers, courtesy of our fact checker, daniel dale, who wrote a whole piece on this that i would invite people to read on cnn .com. but just for example, murder rates are the number of murders in 1990. that was when they were really breaking records here in new york city. they were at 503 and 2022 78

think about that discrepancy. rapes 1996 189 cases in 2022 350 cases. so again, we are nowhere near the record levels that new york city has. seen before it is worth noting that in 2022, the crime rates did go up under the district attorney alvin bragg. they are down for 2023 so far. but anderson it's very hard to say exactly how much he influences, but either way, either when they're going up or going down, and as you mentioned, you have to remember. he's only over manhattan, not the entirety of new york city, and they actually started going up. i think in the spring of 2021 continued on through 2022 have now dipped down just but it's only been a couple of months in 2023 that they've been dipping down. jessica dean appreciate it. as we mentioned. one of the democrats who participated in the tense hearing today was congressman daniel goldman. the hearing was held in his district. i spoke with him just before airtime. congressman appreciate you joining us? what's your reaction to this field hearing the

chairman jordan's held today and as we mentioned your district well, it was pretty stunning that we were in manhattan in my district to talk about state level local level crime data for one city in this entire country over which the judiciary committee of congress does not have jurisdiction. nearly everything we were talking about today is for the state legislature or local prosecutors to deal with not congress and the elephant in the room. was of course, donald trump. now the republicans did not mention donald trump once. why because they have been coordinating behind the scenes with him, and that is what the impetus for this investigation is and it is completely improper, so they are now scrambling to try to justify this investigation, which was initiated at the direction of donald trump. so the republicans are colluding with trump. to interfere in his ongoing criminal prosecution. and that's

why we had this hearing today on something that congress has no jurisdiction over to your knowledge. has chairman jordans ever express interest in field hearings on crimes in jurisdictions where the former president isn't under indictment? i don't not to my knowledge, i think there was a field hearing and yuma, arizona about border security recently, but it's no one is stupid enough to think that this is not directly related to an indictment two weeks ago that jordan himself has lambasted, as have most of the house republicans, and they're now trying to do the bidding for donald trump. but using taxpayer money. to do so. it's also interesting i mean, i was looking at crime statistics in terms of murders. tampa jacksonville, florida. tulsa oklahoma. nashville dallas all have higher murder rates than new york. the murder rate, in fact, here has gone down the last and this year so far, um and most crimes were up in 2021

. they started going up in the spring of 2021 2022. they have gone down mostly across the board. except i think for felony assault and great solarcity is up six and 4. but i mean, it's. it's obviously not just this field hearing in new york chairman jordan's also now trying to directly investigate d a brags indictment of the former president has already demanded documents from the da's office subpoenaed a former manhattan prosecutor, which day brag is trying to squash in a federal court. do you think a judge a court would actually tell a congressional committee however, what it can or cannot investigate? well you you raised the salient point right there, which is that new york city is actually six, the lowest in all murders of the top 50 largest cities in this country, so this is not really about crime in manhattan, and if it were, we'd be focusing on guns because guns are the source of more than 75% of murders around the country. guns are the leading cause of

death for children now because of the epidemic of mass shootings around the country, so if we really wanted to talk, criminal justice reform, we'd be talking about common sense gun legislation. that's of course not what the republicans want to talk about, because the nra doesn't want them to reach common sense gun reform. but to your question about what a judge will do. yes it is incumbent upon a judge to determine whether or not there's a little what's called a legitimate legislative purpose for a congressional investigation, and what this lawsuit will bring out is the degree to which chairman jordan and others on the house republicans have coordinated with donald trump if they initiated this investigation. in order to defend him. and if those communications come out that that was what prompted this investigation, then it is a completely improper investigation, and any judge would have to rule that so that's what they're scrambling to correct after the fact

justifications and with this field hearing, congressman dan goldman appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. in the race for the gop nomination of florida governor ron desantis is hitting back at the former president. a new ad by a group of allied with desantis marks. an escalation in their battle comes after repeated attacks by the former president. of course, cnn's jeff zeleny has more. political feud has long been simmering the sanctions the sanctimonious, but the friction between donald trump and ron desantis has escalated into a nasty food fight. ron desantis love sticking his fingers where they don't belong, and we're not just talking about putting desantis has his dirty fingers all over senior entitlements. like cutting medicare season of attack ads with allies of trump and desantis engaged in an extraordinary exchange of insults and accusations. democrats not lie about governor desantis. what happened to donald trump? the florida

governor is not planning to jump into the presidential race until may or june. but trump super pac is not waiting, trying to knock him down a peg and define him before he becomes an official candidate. i don't have time for drama. i don't have time for palace intrigue issue is a debate over reforming social security and medicare emerging once again as a central issue and scare tactic in the 2024 campaign, also voted to severely cut medicare. i will not be getting medicare and i will not be cutting social security. we're leaving the latest back and forth started when a pro trump group took aim at desantis , marking him for a news report that he was supposedly seen eating pudding with his fingers on a flight from tallahassee to washington, slashing social security. even raising our retirement age. tell ron desantis to keep his pudding fingers off our money. oh and somebody get this man a spoon.

for his part desantis were the putting controversy is something of a badge of honor, a sign, he said no actual skeletons were lurking in his closet for me. they're talking about putting like is that really the best you got? okay bring it on. and a new ad released sunday from a super pac supporting him tried to turn the tables on trump and his own mixed messaging. so why is he spending millions attacking the republican governor of florida. trump's stealing pages from the biden pelosi playbook, repeating lies about social security. the ad also reminded voters of the investigations into the former president, worrying sign among republicans eager to win back the white house if we get distracted and talk about other things that the democrats want to talk about, like these investigations that only helps joe biden does not give us a path for republicans to win. and jeff zeleny joins us now what comes next between desantis and the former president anderson the pudding controversy aside, it's clear this skirmish over

social security and entitlement reform is going to be front and center in this republican presidential campaign. there's no doubt about it, but even more than that, both candidates have previously said yes, there should be a conversation about reforming social security and the retirement age, but they both backed away from that as well. so clearly, both candidates seem to be in one another's heads here. but again as the governor desantis is prepared to get into this race in may or early june, the trump folks are trying to define him outright. but again, those putting ads are going to be something that are likely to stick with ron desantis. jeff zeleny appreciate it. thank you , just ahead of grand jury today declined to indict eight akron, ohio police officers involved in the fatal shooting about 25 year old black man last year. details of the case and what his family has to say about the jury's ruling and later we've told you about the thousands of ukrainian children taken to russia. russian controlled crimea tonight. some of those children recently reunited with their families stands. nick paton

was unarmed. at the time he was killed, according to police. the attorney general said a gun was found in his vehicle after the shooting, and the ballistics of a shot recovered nearby matched the weapon. his family spoke a short time ago. i want to answer a question that has been asked and that question is, how are you doing? the answer is not good. ah, hearts. are hurting. our hearts. alright, heavy. we talked about peace. pamela and jada are not feeling peaceful right now. we're not advocating violence at all. but we don't feel peaceful. they're broken into pieces. in a moment, an attorney for the walker family will join us, but first cnn's randi kaye with more on what we know about the fatal shooting. getting onto eight. south talmadge june 27th last year

police in akron, ohio, or in pursuit of jalen walker after they say he fled a traffic stop and fired his gun at them from his car. there are eight officers in pursuit soon turned into a foot chase. moments after the foot chase began, the officers opened fire. killing 25 year old jalen walker in a blaze of bullets. still breathing is not coming or what is he still breathing? i can't tell. autopsy showed walker sustained 46 gunshot wounds in under seven seconds, according to ohio's assistant attorney general that includes entry and exit wounds. the medical examiner had found 15 wounds on walker's torso, where he had internal injuries to his heart, lungs, liver and spleen. another 17 wounds to his pelvis and upper legs, another to his face, which resulted in a

broken jaw walker, who did not have a criminal record, died at the scene. body cam video includes what one officer described as a gunshot coming from walker's vehicle. that vehicle just had a shot come out of its door half a mile from the location of the traffic stop. you hear the gunshot that changes the whole nature of the traffic stop. it went from being a routine traffic stop. now a public safety issue. police also provided still photos from traffic cameras as what they said was evidence of a shot fired from walker's car prior to the foot chase and fatal shooting. the shell casing from that shot was recovered on an entrance ramp, officials say, and ballistics matched it to the weapon in walker's vehicle. still, the family's attorney said walker's car didn't have any bullet holes. we had no such threats. to these officers, not one time you can't find one frame of film where my clients

gun is pointed at any officer ever, according to the police chief officer said walker was wearing a ski mask and reached for his waistband just before they shot him. a gun was later found in walker's car, but he was unarmed. at the time he was killed. he was outgunned, and he was contained in an area. please help us understand why, for any reason anyone would have to be shot. that many times by that many officers, seven of the eight officers involved in the shooting are white. one is black . following the shooting, the officers were placed on administrative leave pending investigation. they were later reinstated, but did not respond to service calls. the akron police union defended the officers action in a statement last year, saying the decision to deploy lethal force as well as the number of shots fired is consistent with use of force protocols and officers training. randi kaye, cnn. i'm joined now by bobby donatello, an attorney

for jalen walker's family. who you saw there in randi's piece, mr schell appreciate you being with us. what is the reaction? first of all from jalen walker's family tonight? anderson. thank you for having me. um total and complete devastation. uh, i want to take you to a small house with a well worn couch and on that couch, pam walker and her daughter screamed, and they cried, and they wailed when they heard not only this news, but you know that the fact that the system has utterly failed them again. um it's a it's a terrible day for them, the ohio attorney general said this evening that mr walker took at least one shot at police from his vehicle led them on a chase exit. his vehicle and a ski mask ignored multiple commands by officers to show his hands to stop. the attorney general also said police tried after a foot pursuit, too. using nonlethal tasers and that they only fired him. mr walker reached for his waistband and turned toward them raising his hand. they said they found a gun in his car. what is

your response to all that? do you? do you believe that? hmm that's a well coordinated, polished statement that does its best to exonerate the officers. it's what it is. it's been coordinated in scripted since the very hours after jailings death. it's been coordinated and scripted by the union. it's been coordinated in the scripted by the city and the city of akron, as well as northeast ohio generally has been, you know, given time and time again to the notion that it was all jailings fault, and i just have to remind everybody the highland park shooter killed several people went on a freeway in his car and was stopped by police and is in jail today. so the notion that a single gunshot could have resulted or should have resulted in 96 bullets flying at my client, 46 of which strikes striking him as something fair and reasonable is absolutely beyond the pale and frankly um, terrifying example of an abusive police power in in this

evening's news conference member of your legal team said that mr walker was murdered by police because he was black and that the case presented the grand jury was skewed in favor of the police. obviously there's a serious allegations. what legal options do you have at this point to try to prove them? well so the allegation of racial disparity is a conversation about institutional racism, and that's a conversation that many don't want to have today. what is what is the meaning of it? it means simply that most white people never have a conversation with their kids about what it's like to be in the in front of police so that they don't get killed. most white people myself included. never had a time. where i wondered, should i be in this part of town? will i get in trouble because of my skin color, and most white people like myself have never won. under what job? can't i get because of my skin color? so these concepts are part of what was referenced tonight. there's a system that was set up. that's benefited some of us for a long time, and i have to remind everybody that the song that i

remind myself of at times like these is whatsoever you do to the least of my people. i mean, that's that's kind of what government should do to us. it's for all of our protection, and it's failing the people of akron . so are you intending to file a civil suit against the police department? absolutely we will have a file a suit filed before the one year anniversary of galen's death. absolutely. and we heard a little bit, uh, from the family about feeling not peaceful, not wanting violence. um what is the family's message to members of the community tonight who are upset with the grand jury's decision? the message is clear. be loud. be strong. uh let the world know how much you despise. what's happened come out to akron support the cause of social justice. the jailer's life has now you know, unwittingly become a very important symbol of and do so without destroying each other or any of the property. i just got to make this point, anderson before they have ever

called and spoken to us as a legal team to resolve this problem or to reach out to us to discuss a path forward. they boarded up the windows of the government buildings in akron in anticipation of this result, and they did so and said in no uncertain terms by doing it that they don't even trust the people of akron enough to allow them to live the way they need to live did but just the question i asked before about the sequence of events that the police say you said it was well scripted. um that's really may be the case. is it the case that he fired a gun at police? do you know we don't? we don't have that evidence right now before us. we know that that's what's been presented. but i can tell you this an examination of the video with your eyes or mine. that's out there. it's on the internet shows no hand wagging out the window pointing a gun would have to be backwards at an officer, putting an officer in threat of lethal harm. now could he have opened the door and

discharged around? perhaps, but there was nobody there. why he did it or if he did it, i can tell you he wasn't handling a gun for very long. he had only had a gun for a brief period of time. so could there have been a discharge? maybe but there's no hole in the side of the car. there's no gunshot residue tests that are made of the car. there's nothing done to establish precisely how these officers say they were in threat of lethal force, and i have to remind you the discharging of a firearm in the presence of a police officer. it does not give an officer you know, point blank opportunity to shoot that same person if they choose to illegally registered weapons, you know? it was legal. right bobby. i appreciate your time tonight, bobby dukes. hello thank you so much. thank you, sir. ahead manhunt underway after yet another mass shooting here in the us this time at a sweet 16 party in alabama, the latest next. how to growow more vibrant flowers. step one. feed them with mimiracle gro, shake d feed. that's it. miracle gro,

you, anderson and please call me jose. but um, no, not only have i not experience said i'm going to guess go out on a limb and guess that most prosecutors across the country have never experienced this. this is unprecedented in the state of texas. um not to my knowledge this has never happened. i think it's unprecedented across the country. do you believe governor? abbott has called for daniel perry to be pardoned is related to public pressure, whether it's from fox news, tucker carlson or others. well i have no idea what's inside the governor's head. the timeline of the facts are pretty clear. we know that late friday evening, mr carlson and mr rittenhouse called for this part and we know that less than 24. hours later, um, the governor of texas delivered so there is still, um , important process to go forward. it's important to point out that this case is not yet concluded, and that's what we're

going to stay focused on in an online post after the verdict, governor abbott, it stated. in part, quote texas has one of the strongest stand your ground laws of self defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or progressive district attorney. i'm wondering what you say to that. well, i think it is real clear evidence that the governor did not pay attention to this trial because what was at issue at this trial was not stand your ground. what was that issue is whether under texas law, you are permitted to provoke a fight and then kill someone and claim self defense. knowing that you are going to provoke that fight. the jury had the opportunity to hear evidence about this defendant's state of mind and planning going into this incident, they were able to hear evidence about the incident itself, and they determined that this defendant is guilty of murder. so the jury had access to those. those

unsealed court documents of the text messages, the facebook messages he had sent with a friend. well i want to be clear the jury had access only to a very limited sample of those messages. um and i want to give the district judge who presided over this case, a great deal of credit. he was very careful to protect the integrity of this case. he made sure that only those pieces of evidence that were really necessary to allow the jury to determine whether this defendant was guilty or not guilty would come in. he was very careful to exclude any evidence that may have been too prejudicial for a jury to consider. so the truth is the overwhelming majority of the evidence that is now public, and that is now permissible for the judge to hear at sentencing was not considered by the jury. interesting district attorney jose garzon. i appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you so much quick programming note tonight on cnn. primetime

essential and what we're left with bedrooms for modern living, irma the whole story with anderson cooper sunday at eight on cnn. we have an update tonight and some of the children taken from occupied ukraine to russia or russia controlled crimea. we've done extensive reporting on this for months. tonight there's some good news. dozens of ukrainian children are reunited with their families months after being stolen by russian officials, effectively trying to turn them into russian kids. just last month, he will recall the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir putin. and its so called commissioner for children to rights maria lovable ova, accusing them of forcibly abducting thousands of children from ukraine. russia says it's done nothing wrong calls it a humanitarian campaign to ukrainian children who are back home or talking about their ordeal with cnn's nick paton walsh. here's his report. had a

son may be free, but it's haunted by occupation. when russian troops fled last year blowing the bridge. it was only just across the river from where their snipers and artillery now regularly fire. thursday shelling killing a local man here and saturday. a mother and child haunted too is the homecoming here of bogdan h. 13. we first met him in kiev when he just been rescued from occupied crimea. he was one of thousands of children ukraine says were forcibly deported by russia a charge that's led to war crimes indictment against putin. but home is tough. and on this hard hit ireland off of kherson, so dicey with russian troops near this bank and shelling the water . the police won't let us over the bridge. changes this is bogdan's first time outside since he got back when we get some ice cream and pizza isn't

great. a violent row there the night before left glass broken and his hand cut up bangs outside. make it harder still. not to push the stuff stuff. not sure yesterday. the woods vote and your religion summer. now out camp in crimea had gentle indoctrination daily russian anthems, but it wasn't his thing . stop we were. believe, mr the producer said. we have two solutions. thanks, bill. oka. it was really funny studio just wanted um what? don't love shirt

option would be hard wood. town has its troubles locals annually queuing here for cash handouts and arena has endured animosity from neighbors ever since she let bogged down, go to what she thought. would be a safer place for just two weeks. dollar. down. legitimate. home here can be hard. kira 10 was also sent to crimea. her parents are

separated badly, and she came back straight to her father, alexander, but in the shop as they gather handout, toys, clothes and food because her father has lost his job in the war. the background chatter is also that parents who let their kids go to the russians should be treated with caution as sympathizers really short. hmm that's nice. yeah i ask kira how the russian camp was where she stayed for a while. so beautiful . i asked if it's better to be home. yeah. their world is still spinning between two sides of war. leaving them nothing but dizzy. nick howard, the kids adapting to life in her son now . yeah, i mean, look very complicated personal circumstances for a lot of these

children as they return to a country where their families are clearly struggling to provide the kind of home most parents would like to do, but also to around that there are the circumstances of life in her son per se. you saw partially in that video, too. there are incidents in which we see lots of locals together, angrily demanding the payouts that they hope the ukrainian government would give them more easily a lot that is associated with the destruction of their homes and also two throughout the day and night shelling constant in her son. it's very hard to tell exactly often where it's landing . but the persistent back drumbeat of explosions means that life and her son is far from anything any child want to come back to. it's interesting, anderson because a lot of the time you know you talk to the parents we spoke to, and they refer to the initial decision to send their children to occupied areas of ukraine as something voluntary, essentially a choice from complicated circumstances at home, coupled with the bombardment that her son was

facing at that time, they thought, well, you know, a couple of weeks and holiday camp controlled by russians. how is that going to hurt? but it was obviously months that these children ended up spending forcibly separated from their parents. that's left them in these circumstances that glad to be home, certainly, but it's the home they have returned to that's compromised and still a place at war. anderson walsh appreciate it. thanks, nick. still ahead, all the lies and voter outrage and stopping disgraced new york congressman jorge santos. what he is planning to do now. next. how to grow more vibrarant flowers. stp one. feedd them with miracle gr, shake and feed. that's it. miracle gro, you need to know to grow.

went back through history and found some politicians with comparable favorable ratings right around seven or 8% the bad news is those politicians were either at the time convicted criminals or later became convicted criminals such as rapid gourevitch and bob taft, both of them had favorable of approval ratings right around seven or 8% just like jorge santos. so again, it's good news , but it's also really bad news about the numbers behind his fundraising are there like intimate numbers that one can actually see. yes so from quarter one. this is interesting and something i don't think i've ever seen before. that is he refunded more than he actually took in. he only raised about $5000. he had to refund about $8000. so we actually lost money on the refund because we're people who might have asked for the for their money back. exactly right. i know at least one of those folks, and he has to win a primary first. what's the data showing that? well, you know, normally, if you have let's say in a blue district like new york three at least according to 2020 presidential vote. if you had a favorable rating that was equal to joe

biden's, that might not be bad for republicans, but it is quite bad when it's among republicans, right. so joe biden, not exactly the most popular guy among republicans 11% favorable rating in new york three jorge santos among republicans. also with an 11% favorable rating, so overall when you just kind of look at the numbers, anderson so some of them there's another republican thinking about running. they would look at those numbers and things in that district. i might have a good chance. exactly and there's already one declared, and i might argue he may be the first of many to follow because those numbers personally anderson from a professional point of view, they flat out stink. okay thank you, harriet. and i appreciate that. thank you continues. let's hinder pamela brown is seen in primetime. pamela. alright gotta love harriet and anderson. thank you so much. a major development tonight after a teenager is shot after showing up to the wrong house. charges filed a thorough review of the case file. i filed two felony counts. prosecutors charged the elderly white man who shot a black teenager who mistak
