members members of his own party to back his pick for attorney general is turning into a true test of strength. we'll have the latest. >> plus fema under fire. the agency's director responding to a stunning allegations made by a former worker who was fired after allegedly skipping the homes of trump supporters while offering aid. but that employee now tells cnn she was simply following protocol. and prosecutors are set to rest their case today in the trial of an undocumented migrant accused of killing a georgia nursing student. but not before revealing heartbreaking new details, including the last minutes before her murder. we're following these major developing stories and many more. all coming in right here to cnn news central building. >> we are learning that president elect trump and former congressman matt gaetz
11:02 am
are both making phone calls to try and convince republican senators to give the attorney general nominee a concerns about gaetz, and they are growing on capitol hill. and some lawmakers want to see a house ethics report on allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use against him. in the meantime trump is preparing to announce more key cabinet picks. sources telling cnn he's expected to name wall as his commerce secretary, and he's already tapped fox business host and reality tv personality sean duffy to lead the transportation department. cnn's kristen holmes is live for us now from west palm beach, florida. kristen, let's start with matt gaetz. trump not backing down from his controversial pick, even though he's quite backing down, but actually doubling down on matt gaetz. >> and i am told that he's spoken to a number of allies advisers, about the likelihood that matt gaetz could get confirmed and seems to be at an
11:03 am
understanding that right now, he probably doesn't have the votes in the gaetz have been making these personal calls to senators asking them to give him a chance, asking what they think, why they would be interested in not voting for matt gaetz. but as you at a time where we're hearing from more and more republican senators saying they want to actually see that ethics report appears in some of these republican lawmakers are saying they don't need to see it actually reveal it. but these senators are saying that it's important to them. now, we have also learned new reporting from our colleagues manu raju and alayna treene, that jd vance will be up on the hill this week parading out a series of these cabinet picks. and that includes matt gaetz, who will actually sit down with some of these republican senators as they try to make a case for him. i'm told donald trump has said above all else, above all of his cabinet picks, the attorney general is the most important to him, and they want he wants his team to do whatever it takes to get that
11:04 am
through the confirmation process. >> all right kristen holmes, thank you for that report, boris. >> the house ethics committee is set to meet tomorrow as members weigh whether to release the findings of their ethics report on allegations of sexual misconduct against matt gaetz. the committee's probe into the florida congressman was shelved when gaetz resigned from congress after trump announced him as his choice for attorney general, throwing the public release of that report into question. meantime, we're learning that vice president elect jd vance will personally bring some of trump's cabinet picks to capitol hill this week for meetings with key republican senators. let's get the latest from capitol hill with cnn chief the anchor of inside politics sunday manu raju. manu, what can you tell us yeah, there's a lobbying push that is happening intensifying behind the scenes. >> matt gaetz, for one, has called a number of republican senators on the senate judiciary committee trying to ask them to essentially give him a shot. that was the words from senator josh hawley, who
11:05 am
fielded one of those calls, as well as senator lindsey graham. now, in addition to jd vance coming to capitol hill, president elect donald trump himself making some calls and the the concern is that he may or may not he may not have the votes in order to get confirmed, because there are more than three republican senators who have concerns about jd vance's nomination. of course, it would require more than three to kill this nomination. during a vote next year. if and when this does come to pass, and there are a growing number of republican senators who say that the house ethics committee report that speaker johnson does not want release to the senate should be released to the senate and one key senator, chuck grassley, who will chair the senate judiciary committee, told me earlier today that he believes this report should be released in order for them to speed up consideration of this critical nomination speedy consideration of this, because you've heard my colleagues, especially on the republican side say that they
11:06 am
have some questions, not only considering what you're asking me about, but it goes beyond that to the fbi and i think it would help faster consideration. >> the extent to which they would make as much available as they can reporter. >> now, this committee's report, a bipartisan investigation, details allegations of sexual misconduct involving the former congressman matt gaetz, who resigned abruptly last week in the aftermath of this nomination announcement. that is the reason why speaker johnson has said that now that he's a former member of this committee, report essentially should be shelved and not released to the public. there are some republican senators who say they don't have concerns about the underlying allegations, which gaetz denies, saying it will not affect them one way or the other, including senator lindsey graham nobody should be disqualified because of a media
11:07 am
report. it's more than it's an investigation by the bipartisan ethics investigation. >> and they didn't proceed forward and he was referring to the justice department's investigation into matt gaetz that did not result in any charges here. >> there are democrats on the senate judiciary committee including the outgoing chairman of the committee, dick durbin, who said today that he wants the justice department to preserve all records relating to its investigation into matt gaetz. and i can tell you, boris, there are republicans on the committee who want to see this as well. so a lot of questions still about one, whether they see the report as the committee, the house ethics committee meets tomorrow to make a decision on how to proceed. of course you know, a quick pivot there by senator graham. >> he tried to escape. you manu, but you were able to corner him along with the other congressional correspondent, manu raju. live on capitol hill. thank you so much. let's discuss more with our political experts. shermichael singleton is a republican strategist and alyssa farah griffin was the white house communications
11:08 am
director under donald trump. thank you both for being with us. alyssa, why do you think trump is pushing so hard general what is he uniquely poised to might not that's the perfect question, boris, because listen, matt gaetz is somebody he is a practicing attorney he's a smart guy. >> he can present, well but he's also a deeply polarizing figure who's been plagued by these allegations. and he's also widely, widely disliked in congress. i'd argue he's probably the most disliked member from his effort to unseat kevin mccarthy, his own personal dealings are well known. donald trump likes him because he's a loyalist, and he's somebody who he thinks will have a heavy hand and implement his objectives as attorney general by the way, those are all things donald trump as president elect is entitled to. but the senate's got a key role here. they're advising consent role. matt gaetz not only i would say is arguably not particularly
11:09 am
moral failings and these these allegations that have dogged him since he's been in congress are a very real concern. but maggie haberman has got reporting that tracks with what i've heard from some folks, which is donald trump is also willing to accept that he may need to go with someone else. and i think senate republicans could lend him an elegant off ramp by saying, you know don't have the votes. why not go with your deputy attorney general or another nominee? >> and i wonder, shermichael what you think about the prospects for matt gaetz, what they are right now but also if he is appetite for trump to see many of his nominees. i mean does that does that mean that the other controversial nominees have a much better chance of getting through? >> i think so. i mean, look, i think from the senate's incoming leadership, you can say, look, mr. president elect, we're going to give you everybody else. but this particular nominee, i see that as a possibility. i am really uncertain at this point as more committee members request to see that ethics report i just don't think this is good if
11:10 am
i'm advising the president elect at this point, i'm probably saying, sir, we should have a possible number two. let us begin the process of doing the background checks on that. number two, you've been given this mandate, if you will. your numbers are looking great in terms of popularity. you're going to become president in a matter of weeks with a great applause from a sizable percent of the american people let's be in a position to hit the ground running really hard on those consequential issues that people voted for you. let's not get distracted. and i would present that case to him so that he has that opportunity to decides if you were in trump's camp and you were weighing whether to support the release of this house house ethics that the th s i have a really so close to the house ethics report. >> would you want it out there because some some republican senators are suggesting that if you just get it out there now, it's a lot easier to try to confirm him than if it's like a drip, drip, drip of information on testimony that's in it. >> which do you think i mean,
11:11 am
look, if he's confirmed what you don't want is for someone to leak it. number one. and number two, if you're a senator, you want to know what's in it, because let's say they ultimately confirm to vote for the former congressman and then a litany of information comes out after the fact. then you put a lot of these senators in really bad predicaments with a lot of their constituents with the media. so they're looking at this from a very different perspective. i'm sure their staff is advising them before we make a determination, let's make sure we assess all of the information, whether it's president elect i'm staying out of this. allow the senate want. you want to protect the principle again. he's popular he's doing well. mr. president, this isn't our battle. let the senate do what they need to do. let to release it to the senators. for us, we have more important things to focus on. like what? your first 90 days are going to look like. >> you have trump, gaetz and vance, and they are lobbying senators. so, i mean, he's very invested in this. alyssa and i just wonder what as we see these, there's really two
11:12 am
factors here right for some republican senators. there's the okay. well how much of trump's good graces are we willing to forego if we are going to rebuff him on this? and then, on the other hand, even though trump has been elected and i'm sure he likes to, you know, say he has a mandate and he thinks he has a lot of capital, it is finite. we know that i wonder the other factor being he's got to think how much time, how much capital do i want to spend on this one guy? so how do you see that interacting? >> well, listen, i think there's kind of two theories of the case. i was in the white house working for pence for both when ronny jackson was considered briefly to head up the veterans affairs department, and he ended up ultimately not going through confirmation and it being pulled back because there was this drip, drip of allegations. and donald trump ended up making the decision to go another direction the complete opposite of that, i would say, would be supreme court justice brett kavanaugh, where there
11:13 am
was a moment where the white house basically said, you need to fight for yourself, or we're going to pull your nomination. and that was somebody who there weren't the concerns over the credentials and the qualifications for the role in the way that there was. ronny jackson, i see gaetz more as a ronny jackson in this case. but listen, senators are looking at this, let's call it tapestry of nominees from donald trump and kind of gauging who are the ones that we actually want to expend the political will to deal with and what i'm hearing, talking to, i've talked to a number of republican senate leadership staffers and it's it's really there's some concerns about pete hegseth, who's really benefited from sort of being behind the scenes while gaetz is front and center. and this is someone who, well, a veteran who served this country has allegations of his own and also probably the thinnest record resume in history to be the chief of dod. so i think they're weighing, you know, is that where we want to direct our perhaps second chance of blocking someone or is it in rfk? there's a lot to analyze so these are all conversations that are happening in real time. but i think gates is very much seen as the first conversation that republicans need to make a
11:14 am
decision on. and i think the best the most appetite is that his nomination somehow be pulled so it doesn't go to an open committee confirmation hearing. >> a tapestry of nominations tapestry. it's like a friendship quilt or something very strange tapestry. you have a way with words. my friend alyssa farah griffin shermichael singleton, thank you so much to both of you. we continue to follow breaking news. the manhattan district attorney's office agreeing to postpone donald trump's sentencing in his criminal hush money case we have some new details. >> plus, the director of fema on the hot seat on capitol hill facing tough questions about a supervisor fired for allegedly telling hurricane relief teams to bypass the homes of trump supporters and the president elect looking to make good on his mass deportation plans. but now one group is suing to learn details about what that plan may actually look like. we're going to talk to someone behind the lawsuit. still ahead on cnn news central

11:20 am
breaking news. kara, what are the details? >> so the district attorney is saying that they want to defend the conviction in this case that was returned by 12 new yorkers in may but they're saying that they will agree to postpone the sentencing in this case. part of the reason, they said, is that trump's attorneys plan to file a motion to dismiss the case based on a number of factors, and the da's office is saying that they are going to oppose that and because whatever the decision is, it will likely get appealed that would ultimately end up postponing the sentencing. so they're saying at the outset they're not going to oppose it, but they are going to defend the conviction and in this letter to the judge, they write no current law establishes that a president's temporary immunity from prosecution requires dismissal of a post-trial criminal proceeding that was initiated at a time when the defendant was not immune from criminal prosecution, and that is based on unofficial conduct for which the defendant is also not immune, saying that the judge has many things to
11:21 am
consider, but also within that not just the presidency, but the integrity of the criminal justice system, the concept that no one is above the law. so prosecutors laying out here that they do want to defend this verdict and that they are willing to litigate for it. they also asked the judge to move quickly, asking for them, for the judge to set a deadline for the trump's lawyers to file this motion and give the prosecution a deadline of december 9th. so indicating that they do want to get this litigation underway and ultimately so they can continue to defend this conviction guys. >> paula, you, though, have been talking to sources inside of trump's circle how are they looking at this? >> well inside trump's inner circle, they're viewing this as an enormous victory because not only will they not have to deal with the immediate issue of sentencing while he's president elect assembling his cabinet, they're confident that they can probably get this entire case dismissed on appeal. we've been saying this very table for a
11:22 am
with regard to the two federal cases and the two state cases was to try to put them off as long as possible. now they were not able to indefinitely delay the manhattan case. he was tried. he was convicted on 34 counts. but then the next goal for them was to push off sentencing as long as they could. and here they have been successful. so now he will not likely before he goes back to the white house. the two federal cases against him, as we've reported, jack smith is discussing with top justice department officials how to resolve those cases, wind them down before he even gets back to the white house. and the case down in georgia remains in limbo. so this has been a spectacular success for the trump legal team in implementing this strategy of helping their client avoid legal consequence i will say they also got a huge assist from the supreme court that delayed weighing in on the federal january 6th case for about seven months. had they done that faster, it's possible he could have faced a federal trial, but of course he can dismiss federal cases as president and
11:23 am
>> so what comes next? >> so more litigation right. we'll continue to sit here and talk about this issue of whether the case should be dismissed. there's a few different grounds that they've argued that on. they have argued that the immunity potentially decision from the supreme court should apply here. there's a larger appeal just based on issues in the case. and now they're going to argue that because he's president elect, he has constitutional protections. and the case should be dismissed. so we're going to continue to see them fighting this case in manhattan, trying to get the whole thing tossed with the goal of not having that sentencing in 2029. but of course, i will say his defense attorney, todd blanche he's, of course, expected to be the deputy attorney general he will be very busy running the justice department. that's a huge job. you run the day to day operations. so it's to litigate this for him. >> if he's looking for a job after that, i guess there would be one for him. paula. paula reid, kara scannell, thank you so much to both of you. and happening now, the head of fema is on capitol hill and very much on the hot seat. deanne

optimism today in the middle east where u.s. >> envoy amos hochstein is meeting lebanese leaders about a potential ceasefire deal between israel and hezbollah. the american diplomat says an agreement is, quote within our grasp. and this is of hostilities and a major israel offensive that was launched in september. cnn's oren liebermann is following the latest from the pentagon. so, oren, how close to a deal are the two sides here >> brianna, we are potentially closer than we've ever been to seeing an agreement between israel and lebanon that would end the fighting. and yet we're not there yet. and it may not be able to get across the finish line here because of the details here. lebanese officials have said much of what's in the draft agreement they agreed to, but they're trying to clarify some unclear points. and according to those officials, it would be a temporary 60 day ceasefire with the idea of getting to a much that agreement would get back to un security council
11:30 am
resolution 1701. the reason that's important is because that's the resolution that ended the 2006 war, and a key part of that is that in southern lebanon, the only military forces allowed would be the lebanese military itself. as well as un forces. that's something israel wants to see. so if the broad outline is there, why aren't we across the finish line yet? well, lebanon itself is trying to clarify some unclear points and that's why amos hochstein is there right now trying to see if it's possible there. but also, according to an israeli source, a deal isn't quite yet imminent. and that's because israel wants the guarantee of being able to carry out actions militarily in southern lebanon. should there be violations of the ceasefire, and that is the point upon which this may fall. apart from the israeli side. it's unclear if lebanon would ever agree to such a stipulation in an agreement whether explicit or implicit in fact, it's difficult to see them agreeing to that. and yet, israel's government may not be able to come to an agreement to come to a ceasefire without
11:31 am
that stipulation in there, without the guarantee that they can take military action in southern lebanon, should there be a violation of the ceasefire. and that's where this final effort will be focused, trying to bridge a gap that, brianna, in the end, may be unbridgeable so we've said this so many times before when it comes to negotiations, not only between israel and lebanon, but also israel and hamas. we are so close, closer than we've been in a long time to an agreement to end the fighting and yet not there yet. that being envoy, his visit to the region is a positive sign, but not a guarantee at this point. certainly we'll keep watching this space. >> yeah, maybe some optimism, but that doesn't mean they're over the finish line at all. oren liebermann thank you so much for that report. and happening now, round two of testimony for fema she is being grilled on capitol hill about hurricane disaster relief and whether some in her agency may have avoided helping republicans in hard hit areas. >> these hearings come as there are concerns
11:32 am
to natural disasters, and this scandal over an employee who was recently fired after being accused of bypassing homes in florida, with trump signs in their yard. here's what that fema worker told cnn what i'd like for the american people to know is, before i even deployed to florida, that this was the work culture there. >> i was on two teams in florida and the first team when i arrived they were implementing avoidance and deescalation, and unfortunately that trend ran with those. trump campaign signs. i don't create policy. fema does. i just implement it in the field here, now is the fema administrator's response just a short time ago. >> there is nothing in and our training that would direct any employee to bypass anybody's home based on their political party. >> i cannot speak to what her
11:33 am
motivations were but this came to my attention again on november 7th. i directed my team to get me information. they gave me factual information on november 9th, which is when i directed the termination of this employee. >> cnn's sunlen serfaty is covering this story for us. it seems like they're trying to paint this to be an isolated incident. while the employee is saying no, this is a broader pattern. >> that's absolutely right boris. the fema director could not have been clearer that she believes that this is not the culture of the agency. she says not part of the policies, the training anything. and she says that for the most part, for the moment that this was not an agency wide directive, that they've only so far, she says uncovered this one employee on that one team that gave this directive to their team to avoid places and houses that were displaying trump signs. but certainly this is the second hearing of the day. we expect a lot more fireworks here because republicans have been very clear that they want to get to the bottom of this
11:34 am
story. and we heard that pushback from her at this morning hearing. but that second hearing today, just underway. and here's more of what she said earlier today of what the investigation so far has uncovered we have an ongoing investigation. >> chairman perry to determine if there was any additional acts that violated our core values of compassion, fairness integrity and respect. >> okay, so i guess there's an ongoing investigation, but this isn't a law enforcement thing where you can't say, well, we have an investigation, so we can't talk about it. you can talk about this. does the investigation including include her immediate supervisors and several steps above them? >> the investigation includes those that were deployed in this particular incident. and we have found no evidence that there is anything beyond this one. employees specific direction. >> so they are really giving you an example of kind of the tense moments in these hearings today. and the fema
11:35 am
administrator certainly bracing for more. and we heard from mani washington in these back and forths over these series of interviews. she's done, she's done in the last 48 hours talking about how she didn't do it on her own volition, talking about how this was part of the culture. so clearly she has a lot more to say on how that her, even if it wasn't in formal fema, fema policies. as the administrator claims. no. notably, washington she says she has not been asked to testify, but she says she would be willing to do so. >> it's really interesting and what is formal >> yeah, it's so interesting. you asked and it's important here because that's what we're talking about here. now i'm going to pull up my phone. it does talk about dealing with hostility and the important part is on the part of the policy says remove yourself from the situation. if you feel threatened later. it goes on to say if the person continues with hostile behavior, or if you feel unsafe, leave. now it does not say anything specifically about trump
11:36 am
supporters. harris supporters, or political identity. either really interesting story. >> one we'll continue to keep track of. sunlen serfaty, thank you so much. up next immigration and customs enforcement facing a lawsuit by the american civil liberties union, a group that wants to obtain info about a program that could be instrumental in the president elect's mass deportation plans. we have new details on this pending legal battle next publicly what people are saying to themselves, i have enough money. >> i could just shut up. no no i just i can't carp. >> now

11:41 am
in american history. we are going to have to do a very large deportation live like that. on day one of my new administration, the invasion ends and the deportation begins and now the president elect's plans for mass deportation go head to head with the legal system. >> the american civil liberties union is suing immigration and customs enforcement to get records about ice air operations. that's the network that transports noncitizens to u.s. detention facilities. and then back to their countries of origin. the aclu says it sought the records in august through a freedom of information act request, but ice officials failed to respond. and now the aclu alleges in its lawsuit that because of trump's victory, quote the need for the records requested is especially urgent. these mass deportation plans raise serious concerns about operational feasibility, their impact and the potential for continued and increased
11:42 am
serious abuses and danger. on ice, air flights, ice tells cnn that it does not comment on ongoing or pending litigation in response to a request for comment. joining us now is cecilia director of the aclu. cecilia, thank you so much for being with us. what specific information are you seeking about ice, air and why of aclu government transparency lawsuits. >> as we prepare for an expected flood of civil rights violations by the trump administration. this current lawsuit that we filed yesterday is, as you said seeking records relating to this shadowy network of privately run airlines and other transportation providers that the government has been using to transport people who've been deported, ordered deported by the united states. there have
11:43 am
been serious concerns raised about the use of these shadowy, privately run companies in the past. during the first trump administration for colombia refused to participate in receiving people who were being deported through this shadowy network because they heard that mothers and children were being shackled for the duration of these long flights from the united states back to colombia. similarly there was a planeload of people who the trump administration, the previous trump administration, tried to deport who were hours, eventually having to turn back and go back to the united states. >> so when it comes to the first trump administration the maximum number of people they could deport per year was roughly just over a quarter of a million. what resources do you imagine would need to be deployed to execute the president elect's current plan of deporting all undocumented
11:44 am
trump himself has told us exactly what to expect. >> he and stephen miller and tom homan, who he's tapped to oversee his immigration policies, have said they're going to execute the largest domestic domestic deportation operation in u.s. history. no expense spared. in order to get that done. the trump administration is going to have to go into american communities. we're not talking about the border. we're talking about towns and cities across the united states. we should expect door to door raids on people's apartments and houses. we should expect them to go into american workplaces around the country. trump says he's going to declare a national emergency in order to tap other law enforcement resources. have other federal law enforcement agencies drop what they're doing and focus on immigration enforcement. he has said he's going to deploy the national guard and the u.s. military against civilians in
11:45 am
the united states and he's going to commandeer local police forces, all to get this done for example. he has said if maryland is not with my program on immigration, i'm going to send virginia police into maryland to get this done. so the point of this lawsuit, again, third, in a series, is to first find out what the government's existing deportation and detention capacity is, and then we can predict how president-elect trump and his his appointees will exceed both the practical and constitutional limitations on the deportation system. and we'll go in to challenge him when he violates people's rights. >> so, given what you know now cecilia, what laws do you anticipate the administration could violate as it executes this plan? if it troops from virginia to go into maryland to conduct deportations is that against the law sure.
11:46 am
>> there are a host of violate in order to deport. let's say, a million people a year which is in line with the numbers that he's talking about. first of all, he uh, he declared bogus national emergencies during his first administration. he said, we have a national emergency on our hands and i'm going to divert military construction funds which were set aside for the military, the army and the navy to build facilities across the united states. he's from the military and build segments of border wall that congress had states led by california and new mexico, successfully challenged that bogus declaration of national emergency. and we plan to do the same here. also, as i said, we can expect trump to go door to door with raids. we've seen this all before. we've seen local law enforcement
11:47 am
years get interested in immigration enforcement in this obsessive sheriff joe arpaio in maricopa county, arizona said he was going to spare no expense and have zero tolerance for people who were who lost their immigration status. being in the community. he went into workplaces and detained the entire workforce of companies on the suspicion that there might be some undocumented immigrants so i think we're going to see what we saw in a localized way in the past 15 or 20 years on a massive nationwide scale. and so we're going to have to gear up to bring the same kinds of lawsuits that we brought to fight back against those kinds of agencies. we'll have to look for fourth amendment violations where law enforcement agents have no basis to detain people. don't forget, u.s. citizens are going to be caught up in this dragnet as well. so we'll look out for racial profiling. we'll look out
11:48 am
it's traffic stops or detentions. while you're at your workplace trying to get your work done if there's an immigration raid and they detain you, we'll be looking to bring challenges to that. and we'll also be challenging trump when he invokes the statutory authorities. that really don't apply. but he's going to try to use them in order to divert. again, important federal government resources from other law enforcement priorities in order to focus on immigration detention. those will all be subject to legal challenge cecilia wong we'll have to leave the conversation there for now, but we look forward to having you back on to discuss those moves. >> if and when they happen thank you. >> maurice. >> thanks. still ahead missed messages and urgent calls. prosecutors revealing the heartbreaking last text messages sent by laken riley minutes before her murder. we'll take you live outside the courthouse next on cnn news central

11:54 am
part of that, rafael is because she didn't initially pick up. and by the time she called her daughter back, not long after she received that text in a phone call her daughter had called 911 and and had died that's right brianna, something that can happen to any of us. >> we are unable to pick up a phone call, and then we call later. and nothing really happens. but in this case it was very, very tragic. and this has been a very significant day, brianna, because in her opening statement, special prosecutor sheila ross had already given the court a preview of some of the forensic evidence that was going to be presented during testimony this afternoon. the prosecution called to the stand doctor michelle demarco, an associate medical examiner with the georgia bureau of investigation, who testified laken riley cause of death was the combined effects of blunt force head trauma and asphyxia. this is how she explained it.
11:55 am
when special prosecutor ross asked her about laken riley cause of death. let's take a listen head trauma as well as signs of asphyxia. >> what is asphyxia? asphyxia is essentially the inability to deliver oxygen to your tissues and cells added that asphyxia can be the result of hanging manual strangulation or physical compression. >> however she clarified that she was not able to categorize the type of asphyxia for riley earlier on day three of the trial against suspect jose ibarra, we heard from a university of georgia police sergeant who described how a video from the college campus shows not only lake and riley's last moments alive, but also the suspect lurking outside an apartment complex that is near the trail where riley was eventually killed. the uga police sergeant also
11:56 am
testified that laken riley last three communications were texting her mother, then calling her, and finally trying to call 911. apparently at the moment she was attacked while running, brianna rafael. >> thank you coming up, at least two of president-elect trump's most controversial cabinet picks heading to capitol hill. we're told vice president elect jd vance is bringing attorney general pick matt gaetz and defense secretary nominee pete hegseth to meet with key republican senators. we'll have more when we come back for you are pretty obvious. >> yeah but what are the cons? >> we could run out of news before then that would never happen. >> have i got news for you? saturday at nine on cnn and stream next day on max. >> unitedhealthcare knows you've got your whole life ahead of you they are old
