♪ ♪ house speaker kevin mccarthy calling for a formal impeachment inquiry into joe biden. he's accusing the white house of a "culture of corruption."

but even mccarthy's own party seems divided over the decision. we also just got new reaction from mitch mcconnell. >> we are following breaking news this hour. five police officers involved in the deadly beating of tyree nickels have been indicted on federal charges. the indictment states they deprived him of his constitutional rights. armed and extremely dangerous. this is how police are describing the convicted killer who escaped from a pennsylvania prison nearly two weeks ago. he's now stolen a rifle from a homeowner's garage. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to "cnn news central." with his speaker's gavel possibly on the line, kevin mccarthy just threw down the

gauntlet. this morning, the house speaker officially gave key republican committee chairs the go ahead to start an impeachment inquiry into joe biden, all based on allegations of corruption stied to hunter biden's business dealings. house republicans have been threatening to oust him as speaker if he didn't take this step. but the response from the counterparts in the senate has been muted. this was mitch mcconnell just moments ago. >> we've got our hands full here, trying to get through the appropriations process and not have an omnibus. and i don't have any advice to give to the house. they have a totally different set of challenges than we do. and so i think the best advice for the senate is to do our job and we'll see how this plays out later. >> let's take you live to capitol hill with lauren fox. so lauren, in a moment like

this, you would normally ask if joe biden can survive this politically, but you have to ask the same of speaker mccarthy. >> reporter: yeah. i mean, there's a huge political question right now surrounding house speaker kevin mccarthy's speakership. and specifically, he has a series of challenges. one of which is funding the government at the end of the month. you saw there mitch mcconnell alluding to the fact that the senate was focused on that. meanwhile, in the house of representatives, the big news today, of course, is this announcement from mccarthy that he's normally launching an impeachment inquiry into joe biden. now, he talked to reporters just a few minutes ago, and he made clear that he acknowledges that there is still more information that has to be found. and he said that that's the difference between an impeachment iny and moving forward formally that. is the tight rope that the house speaker is trying to walk right now. but mere moments after he made

his amountment, you saw matt gaetz go down to the house floor and give his own speech, threatening to try and oust the speaker if he doesn't give in to a series of demands, including demands on spending. here's what matt gaetz said. >> moments ago, speaker mccarthy endorsed an impeachment inquiry. this is a baby step following weeks of pressure from house conservatives to do more. we must move faster. >> reporter: and if house leadership thought that opening the impeachment inquiry was going to try and get some of those house conservatives to get together and back some kind of short-term funding bill, it's clear from that speech on the floor today from matt gaetz, that is not happening. if it feels like there is a lot of moving parts to this, boris, it's because there are right now. the house speaker is trying to deal with a series of crises, and obviously this news today

that he's opening an impeachment inquiry will take up a lot of time in the house. and there's only 2 1/2 weeks to form a government. so a lot of work left to do. >> that deadline is looming on the horizon. lauren, what about these republican committee chairs, have they taken any investigative steps since the announcement this morning. >> reporter: yeah, they have launched and announced that they are moving forward with their own steps. in some ways, these are the same committees that have been investigating these -- investigating hunter biden and joe biden over the course of the last several months. the house ways and means committee, the house judiciary committee, they will continue their work. now it's under this umbrella that is much more formal of impeachment, or an inquiry which they argue will help them get answers and documents more quickly. we'll have to wait and see if that bears down. >> lauren fox on capitol hill, thank you so much. let's discuss this with a former federal prosecutor.

so an impeachment inquiry to find more evidence, not that they have evidence that is leading them to start an impeachment proceeding here. what kind of precedent does this set? >> i have to say, it's extremely aggressive. it's really -- i think it's set even apart from the impeachment inquiry into bill clinton, which had some disastrous political consequences for that party, because they were doing after there had already been a completed investigation by an independent counsel. here, what we have, of course, is a multiyear investigation of hunter biden by a federal prosecutor appointed by donald trump. ultimately found very little in terms of criminality. and i think this is a sad day, because it is definitely a use of the impeachment power for a purpose that really is more

like -- it looks a lot like ordinary politics. >> nancy mace, who is a house republican, who has raised concerns about what some of the political blowback might be, even as she is supporting this, says that she understands that this will enable the committees to seek joe biden's banking records. do you think that they will get access to that? >> i think that's possible. you know, frankly, ironically, it was a multiyear stonewalling by the trump administration that established some good evidence on the ability of congress to get records. so, yeah, the authority of the house impeachment inquiry to get evidence is significant. i have to make some showing, the courts are generally differential to the house, so i think that they could use this as a way of getting more records, obviously critics will argue that's an abuse of that power, because, you know, that's

not typically the purpose for which impeachment inquiry is launched. usually, it's because there is evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors that have been uncovered, but that debate will continue. >> so does impeachment lose its seriousness if there is nothing there, or if the process is used to just create the illusion that there is something? >> yeah, look, there's a disinformation element to it, right? in other words, the mere fact of impeachment, it's been such a serious thing in our nation's history, not used very often. if this starts becoming a routine method for the other political party that is in the opposite party of the president, to essentially get evidence to try to find embarrassing things about the current president in power, really this ends up becoming something that happens in both -- or all administrations by both parties all the time. so it's not where we want to end up as a country. it's fair to say that the

individuals who framed and drafted our constitution did not anticipate. unfortunately, it's something that the house has the power to do, but not really a check or balance until or unless there's a vote. >> thank you so much for talking with us about this. we appreciate it. jim? we are following breaking news. minutes from now, the justice department will hold a news conference on the tyre nichols case. this comes after he learned that five former memphis police officers involved in his fatal beat thing past january have now been indicted on federal charges. cnn's nick valencia has been following the story. tell us what the reaction is from one of the defendant's attorneys. >> reporter: yeah, we reached out to all five defendant's attorneys but haven't been able to get in touch with anyone except for one. just in our brief conversation, he says that these federal charges are going to complicate the defense strategy they had

laid out for his defendant, mills. he said in part that this is different from what the state is alleging. this is going to cause us to change gears a little bit. going on to say, this adds another layer of things we'll have to look into and investigate. this is new from what the state is alleging. so let's get into what the federal indictment alleges. it's two charges. one, witness tampering. the other, the deprivation of civil rights. each charge has two counts, and essentially what the feds are saying, it's not just the incident but somewhat happened after the incident and what the officers said or didn't say to investigators. the doj saying that there was a deliberate attempt by these defendants to mislead the investigators to try to withhold the truth. this is the crux of somewhat they are saying about the deprivation of civil rights of tyre nichols, that incident in january, saying martin bean, haley mills and smith unlawfully assaulted nichols and failed to intervene in the unlawful assault, resulting in the bodily

injury to and death of tyre nichols. the state is moving forward in its case. the defendants are expected in court later this month, and a reminder to our viewers, remember, doj involvement in memphis might sound familiar. in july, they announced a plan for a practices and patterns investigation into the police department, saying information indicated there was a disproportioning targeting of black motorists in the city. we have this case going on and we are expecting an official announcement from the doj to these charges here just in an under hour. jim? >> an expansion of that case new york question. nick, thank you so much. boris? the manhunt for an escaped murderer has take an very dangerous turn. pennsylvania state police say danelo cavalcante is now armed with a rifle that is equipped with a scope that he stole from an open garage. and cnn has just obtained court records that shed new light on how cavalcante thinks. the transcripts of his sister's

testimony at his murder trial. investigators say the victim, cavalcante's ex-girlfriend, was stabbed 38 times. now, the sister testified that cavalcante told her he didn't know if the woman was dead or alive. the prosecutor asked "was he calm, was he angry, was he sad? how would you describe his demeanor?" the sister responds, "i couldn't really identify, because he always had a calm demeanor. he seemed okay to me." the prosecutor goes only, "so his demeanor was the same during this phone call that had always been with you?" the sister replies, "yes." let's go now to chester county, pennsylvania, with danny freeman, who has been following this from the beginning. police seem confident that cavalcante is within this new search area they have established. >> reporter: that's right, boris. that's one thing police have continued to be confident about throughout this manhunt, that when they establish a perimeter,

they believe that danelo cavalcante is inside of it. the most recent time they set up a perimeter before this time, he was able to slip out. but after the two sightings last night, police are displaying confidence that they are closing in on him. as you can see right here, we're at the intersection of state route 23 and the northeastern most side of this perimeter. a lot of police activity right in this intersection. we have been seeing armored vehicles coming in, as late as this afternoon. a lot of troopers standing out here, checking every car before it tries to go into this perimeter. boris, i want to go over the things we did learn in this press conference about these two sightings. the first one happening around 8:00 p.m., when police say a woman who was driving in the area where cavalcante ditched that dairy van he stole over the weekend, she said she believes she saw him crouching down on the road. police came, they didn't find him but they did find foot prints in the mud and his prison issued sneakers. less than two hours later at around 10:10 in the evening,

police responded to an incident at an open garage, and that's what you described earlier, where cavalcante was said to have stolen that rifle that had a scope on it. also a flashlight on it. and that resident, who owned the house inside the garage, shot at cavalcante. take a listen to what the law enforcement said about his own mind-set now that danelo cavalcante has this weapon. >> we consider him desperate and dangerous. all this does is confirm for us that he has a weapon. >> is he desperate enough to use that weapon on law enforcement of? >> he's killed two people previously. i would suspect he's desperate enough to use that weapon. >> reporter: now, a few of the things, boris, i would like to add. first, police have no reason to believe that danelo cavalcante was injured during that period of gunfire last night. they got there to the scene within minutes. but they still were not able to capture him. one last thing is that police

said cavalcante is familiar with this area, that he's now on the loose in. he's been here before, and no doubt making the challenge of capturing him more challenging on day 13 of this manhunt. boris? >> yeah, a terrain that officials have said is very complex with a tunnel system and a very wooded area, all sorts of places for someone like that to hide. danny freeman, thank you so much for the update. brianna? still to come, it could be the biggest anti-trust case in decades. google and the justice department facing off in court today. we'll tell you why the case could reshape one of the internet's most dominant plat forms. plus, the slow but heavily armored train, carrying kim jong-un is now inside russia. the north korean dictator is expected to meet vladamir putin in and an arms deal could be on the table. we'll talk about that coming up.

u.s. prosecutors opened a landmark trial today against the tech giant google. this historic trial, considered to be the biggest anti-trust case in decades could, a major implications, the case focuses on google's search engine. according to the justice department, 90% of all searches begin with google. the doj alleges the company has stifled competition and paid billions to device makers to make it the default search engine. google maintains people don't use google because they have to, but because they want to. sarah fisher, seenia media reporter at axios, join us us now. this reminds me of the doj case of microsoft, accusing them of the same thing, of microsoft being the default operating system here. what exactly is at stake, and could google conceivably be broken up if they lose this case?

>> i don't think google is at risk of being broken up with this case, jim. but the doj is also simultaneously suing google for its dominance in advertising technology. there's a more high likelihood it could get broken up there. what's at stake for google, this could be a major distraction. often times when tech companies are taken to court, they become more cautious around innovation. it's happening at a time when google is fighting to compete for search dominance with ai. microsoft, of course, being the big competitor there. there is the irony because the microsoft case in 1998 hampered their innovation, which gave rise to google. >> this is just one of two major anti-trust lawsuits the doj has filed against google. it seems to be part of a broader administration shift here, where they're going after monopolies or near monopolies in a whole host of areas, whereas in the past, republican and democratic administrations tended to keep their hands off. is this part of a broader push

here? >> much broader push, and a broader push by the eu. google has been fined billions by the european commission. but this biden administration has said, even though it's not illegal to be a monopoly, we want to go much more aggressively after companies that are abusing this. with a company like google, one of the things that is challenging, jim, the service are also free. so it's really hard to argue that consumers are being harmed by the dominance google is having in search. the doj is arguing the consumer doesn't have enough choice. whether they go on to their fault, the default browser is google, so the consumer doesn't even know they're lacking competition. >> yeah. i wonder, given what you said, that the new focus is on emerging ai technology and search. would you argue the case is a bit late to the game sh >> oh, absolutely.

that's the case with all of these lawsuits. this is going back to mergers from well over a decade ago. that's the challenge with people looking at regulators, trying to rein in technology broadly. we expect this trial to last a few months, and for all we know, a whole new version of generative ai could be out. >> sarah fisher, thanks so much. appreciate having you on. boris? another group has filed a lawsuit to block former president donald trump from the 2024 presidential ballot. this time in minnesota. it's the second lawsuit in a last week invoking the 14th amendment. we'll discuss ahead on cnn news central. to scientists. tourist taking photos that are analyzed by ai. so researchers can help life underwater flourish. ♪

north korean leader kim jong-un is now in russia ahead of his expected meeting with vladamir putin. he stopped at a train station near the border getting off his heavily armored train. kim get with a russian firm th -- official there, got back on the train where he will soon meet vladamir putin. let's discuss with more with retired general wesley clark.

thank you for sharing part of your afternoon with us. what are you going to be watching for out of this meeting? >> well, a lot of atmospherics about this meeting. obviously, they're playing coy about where the location is. my guess is, this is a real reward for kim and munitions and other things he's probably already provided or committed to provided them or he wouldn't be having a meeting. for putin, it's also an opportunity, because this puts pressure on china to do more, and it also is designed -- going to be designed to intimidate ukraine and allies. but we should take from it, this is a form of horizontal escalation. and the longer the fight goes on, and the more it drags out, the greater the risk of escalation elsewhere. >> i want to dig deep we are you on the question of ukraine, but you mentioned the reward for kim jong-un, reportedly part of it

has to do with his quest to obtain and upgrade hit satellite and submarine capabilities. what happen it is he gets that technology to enhance his capabilities? >> well, it increases his sense of security. it increases his ability to intimidate. he probably still believes that at some point, he may need to use those capabilities against the united states. certainly, if he gets the nuclear submarine capacity, he can deploy those submarines off of our coast, and it is a deterrent. we kept the peace in the korean peninsula for 70 years by basically the threat of nuclear annihilation of north korea. president eisenhower started that by deploying an atomic cannon in 1953 after he was elected. and shortly after the peace talks got serious. we have always had this huge measure of nuclear superiority and we were invulnerable to

north korea. now we're not. so he gets a lot out of this, kim does, if putin delivers this kind of technology. >> yeah. and you mentioned how help from north korea can drag out the conflict in ukraine, because vladamir putin gets more munitions. but the counter to that, does this move potentially put pressure on the west to provide ukraine with some of those longer range missiles that they have been asking for, and that we're anticipating the white house will soon make a decision on? >> it does. and it also should encourage the west to try to speed up the pace of the delivery of weapons. if you look at this from the benefit of hindsight obviously, if we could have delivered all the stuff we have given them over the summer six months earlier, maybe russia wouldn't have had those strong defenses prepared. if we wait six more months, russian forces are likely to be

stronger. the economic weapons against russia, they're significant. but they're not decisive, and russia is finding ways to work through those restrictions and through those cutoffs of technology and so forth. it's getting its technology in 6, 12 months from now they'll be stronger. the russian military, we read a lot about their mistakes, but they're learning. and you can't believe they're going to continue to be just as ineffective as we saw them in the early days of the campaign. so this is a race. it's a race of the west and ukraine to develop the decisive capacities to finish this war versus putin on the other side building up the capacity to intervene and overrun ukraine where it is right now. >> general, i did want to ask you about something that vladamir putin brought up today. he was asked about former president donald trump's legal troubles, and he was speaking at an economic forum in russia. he said, as far as the prosecution of donald trump is

concerned, this is good for us in today's conditions, because it shows the rottenness of the american system, which cannot pretend to each others about democracy. i'm wondering what you make of those comments from vladamir putin? >> well, look, he's very aware of the american political system. in fact, russia has done everything it can do to try to destroy this system, including its intervention in the elections. there's no doubt that putin is pulling for trump to win, but he's not so much for trump. he is for the disintegration of the american political system and its weakness. and frankly, the strength of the american political system is a very important part of deterrence and stability globally. so when you look at what's happening in the united states today with the charges against president trump and what's going on with funding the important government bills in the congress, you have to understand that this has international

implications. u.s. political stability is essential for u.s. global stability. president trump has threatened that. putin likes that. he supports that threat. >> an important point. general wesley clark, thank you for perspective, sir. >> thank you. >> brianna? first on ann, there is a different legal hurdle facing donald trump. another new lawsuit seeking to keep him off the 2024 ballot. a liberal group in minnesota is arguing that the 14th amendment's disqualification clause bars him from office, saying "donald j. trump, through his words and actions, after swearing in oath as an officer of the united states to support the constitution, then engaged in insurrection as defined by section three of the 14th amendment. he's disqualified from holding the presidency or any other office under the united states." a different group filed a similar suit last week in colorado. so two suits now in two weeks. joining us now to talk about

this is gabe sterling, the chief operating officer for georgia's secretary of state's office. sir, thank you for being with us. you have obviously been outspoken about the former president undermining democracy, but you say this is a very bad idea. tell us why. >> it's a dangerous idea. we go back to your previous segment with general clark, putin loves this chaos. the reality is, there's -- we can't be saying, and some of the legal scholars who are brilliant people, are say thing is a self-executing section of the constitution. i don't think anybody intends for an elections official in any one state to say i have decided that the former president has committed insurrection, remove him from the ballot. the only other way to remove somebody from the ballot who still qualifies is a 2/3 vote of the senate following impeachment by the house. having one election official

like secretary raffensperger and other secretaries to say we decided you committed insurrection doesn't seem fair to people. if we want to encourage the sense of grievance we see from many trump supporters saying the system is rigged, try to remove his name from the ballot. it's pouring gasoline on the fire. >> if trump were convicted federally for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election, do you think by this mechanism that it could be employed? do you think he should still be on the ballot then? >> look, i'm not a lawyer. i'm not a judge. the one thing i do know, we do have due process. the first part of the 14th amendment is a due process clause bringing it down to the states. if there is some way the supreme court gets to this and they say he's not qualified, i don't see that happening necessarily. but what we need to do is focus on the voter. we have a constitutional

republic of laws. we have to trust the voters in this. and anybody using an electoral scheme or a constitutional interpretation to remove anybody from the ballot is going to be a dangerous precedent. ky guarantee what happens, one side does one thing, the other side does something else, the other side blames the last side for doing it. there will be a republican saying you have violated your oath of office under the constitution, i'm barring you from the ballot. that's all we will see happening. we need to have grownups in the room to look at the long-term implications of these things. >> i mean, this is, to be clear, this is a post civil war provision in the 14th amendment that was designed to keep people who were in the confederacy from holding future public office. this is from a very long time ago. is this a modern equivalent to what we are seeing in your opinion, or is it not, and do you think people need to think twice about this?

>> i absolutely believe we need to think twice about this. just because something is old doesn't mean it doesn't work. the constitution itself, it's the longest running constitutional republic in the history of the world. the words have meaning and import, but we have to know what did it mean? when it comes to who is qualified or not under the 14th, somebody is 35, i know that they have a birth certificate. we all agree on that. who is the decider whether or not an individual has quote unquote committed snusinsurrect? you can't put the power into one individual. the only other way to remove someone is a 2/3 vote of the united states senate. the american people would accept that outcome. but a large section would freak out if all of a sudden there is individuals to be removed from the ballot. >> you have had a good sense of things that could happen.

you warned in december of 2020 that if former president trump and the gop's attacks on the election system don't stop, someone is going to get hurt. someone is going to get shot. someone is going to get killed. ault mattly, all of those things happened on january 6th. what do you worry could happen in the future with the election and these lawsuits playing out? >> i don't think i have any crystal ball. this is common sense when you see it play out. if people take these steps, all it will do is pour gasoline on the fire of grievances felt by millions of americans. if one of these states that president trump will probably lose any way, they take his name off, you are literally going to be feeding the, "it's all rigged and he was right all along." we have a need for adults in the room to sep up. secretary raffensperger wrote his op-ed outline thing in "the wall street journal."

he had good, rational basis for say thing is a dangerous precedent. if someone is convicted somewhere of insurrection, that's one thing. that's not the case here. and even in these other cases that are running right now, our big concern is if you have a hung jury or he's acquitted of anything, he will take that as full exoneration. essentially, he broke both parties. democrats lose their minds about him, republicans have lost their minds about him. we need to get back to a rational state, because one of the things that trump can do, because he takes this chaos and plays it to his advantage. people who want to remove him from the ballot are playing to trump's advantage. they are helping him out. alvin bragg put trump into first place in the primaries because people think it's unfair. if they give him something new, all they're doing is supercharging his campaign. >> gabe sterling, thank you for having this conversation with

coming from the libyan interior ministry, the interior ministry loyal to the government in the east in benghazi, saying 5, 300. but the real numbers are unclear, because access to derna is so difficult because most of the roads have washed out. many cell phone towers have been knocked down. aid is beginning to arrive. turkey sent three airplanes full of search and rescue personnel as well as humanitarian supplies. the rival government, based in tripoli in the west, sent a plane full of medical workers, as well as body bags. but it may be days before we get a clear idea about the death toll, the number of missing, and the true extent of damage. but the numbers, the images we are seeing would indicate the situation is extremely grave and

probably going to get only worse. jim? >> yeah, already numbered in the thousands, the death toll. ben wedeman, thank you very much. wewe'll be right back. ners witho not only enhance the e fan experience, but to advance hohow the game is played. aaa relies on t-mobile's networkrk to stay connected nationwide, so they can help get their members back on the road. and we're helping pano ai innovate, to stop the spread of wildfires. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network can do for your business.

picketed outside of the drew barrymore show after the talk show resumed production. they said it violates the writers strike now in the fifth month but a spoke said the program won't do any writing work that is covered by the strike and also this is not only show that is going back on air. there will be -- or there are new episodes of these talk shows that you see here. all of these. so joining me to talk about

this. we have nichelle turner, host of entertainment tonight. take us through this. >> well this is collateral damage what we're seeing from the strikes. the writer strike that has been going on since may. i think the fact that drew barry moyer more is getting -- because then is he shed i'm going to do this and she's not the only talk show that is coming back. the talk is coming back. the "view" never went away. they are back in production and they've all said we're coming back but we're not going to do any writing. we're going to speak off the cuff. we're not going to break any violations for the writers strike. that is what is up for debate and the debate is a strong one on both sides. i mean, there are people who are saying, we want to make sure that our crews get paid and we want to make sure that we come

back and we could still keep people in production and then the other side is saying, this exactly what we need to the studios feel the heat. you shouldn't be in production and that is the push and pull going on right now. >> does it undercut the writers when you have all of the shows coming back? >> that is a good question. that is the second part of the debate, does it weaken the writers' position with the studios. i think the people on the picket lines would think that yes, it does. because me believe that it is showing the studios that the shows could go on without them and still be productive. on the other side of it, i think that shows that are in production like the drew barrymore show and the view and the talk, they are struggling but we we do have to think of the bigger picture and we have hundreds who we want to be employed. so while we stand with the writers and stand with what they are fighting for. we do want to make sure that our

shows continue. so people could still get paid. >> all right. nichelle turner, thank you so much. this is reallying to watch everything that is going on there with these strikes. >> yeah, it is interesting to see how this is going to play out. thanks, brianna. >> certainly is. thank you so much. we'll be right back. get a free eye exam when you buy two pairs of glalasses startiting at just $79.95. book an exam today at americasbest.com. my name is josh sanabria and i am the owner at isla veterinary boutique hospital. i was 5...6 years of age and i knew i was going to be a vet. once alexandra called me to let me know at bank of america had approved my loan... it was important to me. we n only just provide the financing piece, we do everything that we can to surround them with the right people. all you need is a perfect, amazing team that will guide you through the right steps to be successful. and that's what bank of america was for me.
