12:03 pm
developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central >> right now, the house ethics committee is grappling with that very question. meeting on whether to release its report into trump's attorney general pick, matt gaetz, over allegations of sexual misconduct, and also illicit drug use. not long ago, the republican chair of the committee michael guest, said he isn't sure the report should be released. have you heard from trump or his team at all about this? >> not president trump or any member of his team. there are two options, he said. >> well what i'll say is, is i view a public release versus a conversation about transmittal to the senate. i think those are separate conversations that the committee needs to discuss the report actually done at this point, the report is not
12:04 pm
complete. >> it's not that's correct. and so how could you possibly release it if it's not done that is something that we will be talking about today. >> and that's another reason i have some reservations about releasing any unfinished work product. >> how far would you say it is from its completion? >> um, it has not gone through the review process gaetz and president elect jd vance have been holding their own meetings on capitol hill today, trying to shore up support with republican senators. >> cnn's lauren fox is following all of this for us. what are you hearing from lawmakers? lauren a lot of the outside of the house ethics committee room for about two hours now. >> not a peep. no member has come out from the ethics committee. we have not gotten any guidance about what is happening inside this room. obviously, there have been a lot of questions about whether or not they would vote today to
12:05 pm
try to release this report, whether they would vote to try to transmit it to the senate. those are some of the current options on the table, but it's not clear that they are definitely going to be doing either of those things today. meanwhile, across the capitol, like you noted jd vance, the incoming vice president, holding meetings with the president's choice for attorney general matt gaetz trying to win favor with some of those very least, make clear to them that they need to keep their minds open throughout this nomination process. look, it's a long time until january. until that formal nomination is transmitted to the senate, until the senate judiciary committee begins its hearings. they know that this is a long road, and they're banking on the fact that they need senators to keep their powder dry while they behind the scenes, try to make it clear that matt gaetz is denying all of the allegations against him. there's just a lot of moving parts here. and right now. the most important thing for trump's team is to make it clear that republicans are not
12:06 pm
closing the door to this nomination before this process really gets off the ground, brianna. >> all right lauren fox, thank you so much. let's go now to cnn's kristen holmes, who is in west palm beach near mar-a-lago. and, kristen, president elect trump is standing by gaetz, despite everything that we are learning. what are you hearing yeah brianna, of course, the big question is whether or not anything in this ethics report could actually change that. >> now, i'm told by people close to the president elect that there isn't anything that could be published that would change that. however again, this is coming from people who have no idea what's actually in this report. and it's something that they're hearing from donald trump himself who has said that they would he would stand by matt gaetz. in fact, earlier today, we actually saw him lamenting the fact that some of his more controversial picks were not getting to be approved quickly or not getting confirmed quickly, and that there was some sort of holdup. so clearly he's going to stand by gaetz at this point i cannot stop reiterating the fact that donald trump, because he hand-picked gaetz believes that this is something that he
12:07 pm
really needs to get through and get him confirmed. but he cannot control all of these republican senators. and despite the fact that gaetz has been saying and not gaetz, but these republican senators saying they're having good meetings with gaetz, obviously if this report is released which it sounds like whether or not it's released officially or unofficially through back channels, it is likely to at least get some of that report out how this would impact those republican senators, because at the end of the day, donald trump is going to have several controversial picks that he's trying to get through, despite the fact that he says that matt gaetz is his ultimate priority. that's where he wants to focus his political capital. but all of these other senators, they also have their careers on the line. and depending on how they want to handle donald trump, that's where we have members coming out of the house ethics committee. >> so we're going to pay attention here and listen in and see if they are going to be saying anything. we we cirium manu raju there so we know he'll be throwing some questions there at these
12:08 pm
members of the house ethics committee. >> we also saw democrat glenn ivey walking by refusing to answer questions. obviously, a lot of speculation about whether there would be a vote today. they had the opportunity to vote on the release of this report last week. but they punted because gaetz ultimately resigned from his congressional seat and is now obviously the nominee for attorney general and then you have the chairman saying a few interesting things he said that he has some reservations about releasing it because it isn't done, but just how undone the report is is very much in question. >> we want to bring in our panel to talk a little bit about this. let's bring in cnn senior political commentator and former republican congressman adam kinzinger. and we're also joined by marc lotter former special assistant to president trump. and and congressman, i want to ask you what you think about what chairman guest has said, because he does seem to be hesitant to releasing this,
12:09 pm
suggesting that it's not fully complete while also suggesting that there is no pressure on the committee from the speaker to not release the report, even though the speaker has made it very clear he's pressuring the committee not to release the report yeah, i mean, look behind the scenes, i can tell you for sure. >> the speaker making the comments was very important and that sends a message to the members of the ethics committee who are appointed by the speaker that he doesn't want them to release it. now, hopefully i'll tell you, most of the people that serve on the ethics committee are very much committed to good ethics. that's why they're picked. they usually put the partisanship aside, but, you know, the pressure that comes with donald trump is very intense i do think ultimately we're going to find out some of what is in this and whether that's just they transmit it to the senate. that's at a bare minimum, what they have to do, what they need to do is transmit it to the senate, even if they don't publicly release it but the excuse about it's not completely finished. look
12:10 pm
at no fully completely finished until i don't know, even months after. because you're always, you know, tightening up, crossing the crossing the t's, dotting the i's. so i think that could be an excuse because it sure sounds like they're very close to at least having pretty close to a finished product in my mind. >> mark to to a point congressman kinzinger just made. we've been speaking to experts who have said that essentially whether or not this report comes be made public and will be made public by the senate judiciary committee when they hold hearings about this, why not just put the report out now and get this out of the way, the way that several republican senators have suggested every member of that committee they're talking about are they setting precedent? >> are they going to set a precedent in the future where maybe another congressman, maybe one of themselves, are going to have a report
12:11 pm
complete or maybe they left congress, and yet a report will still come out. so i think those are the kinds of things that the lawmakers have to consider. but i have no doubt in my mind, and i say it jokingly, washington and capitol hill leaks like the titanic. so whether they make an official release or not trust me, it will find its way into the hands of cnn or the new york times or the washington post. someone will get it before this confirmation process continues. >> i mean this committee normally and i know it's hard to believe, but they do mark and i wonder though, one of the things we've heard from members of congress including on the gop side is that it seems pretty. it just seems like standard that members of the senate, senate republicans should be able to see this work that has been done. i mean why
12:12 pm
reinvent the wheel if the house ethics committee, the other chamber, has already gone through this whole very long, involved process of doing this investigation. i mean, i suppose that would open it up for the possibility of another leak. but once in their hands, mark, do you expect that actually, if there's some really bad stuff in here that might mean they can't proceed with going for gaetz well, i mean, everything that's being speculated or has been reported on earlier would obviously raise concerns and it's important when you think about these things, that this is not about winning over or against the republican caucus or the senate caucus. >> this is about getting four republicans to flip their votes that's all. that's all it takes is four republicans out of what looks to be 53 republicans to say no. and this and this nomination would be done. if you're on the team trump side or with the others, you're trying to keep to getting at
12:13 pm
least 50. so the vice president can break that tie. when the new congress takes effect. >> speaking of the incoming vice president congressman jd vance was on capitol hill today alongside matt gaetz, trying to lobby some republican senators to give him a shot and in their words, i'm wondering what kind of an impact do you think that has alongside what seems to be a clear threat from maga acolytes that any republican senator that goes against this confirmation could potentially get primaried yeah. this again, from my experience in congress, every two weeks, there's something that could get you primaried and so you either have to just learn to acquiesce to every demand. maga has or actually just be a you know, what people elected you to be, which is kind of an independent thinker. the good thing is senate republicans tend to be more independent thinkers when you're a senator, particularly if you're not up for reelection. this time, although a lot of the kind of sane senators are up for reelection. so i do think it
12:14 pm
will have an impact to have j.d. vance there. i don't know, i mean look, if i was jd vance, i'd be friggin embarrassed to be walking with matt gaetz. i mean, this guy has is basically a you know, it's been accused of having sex with underage girls and apparently the ethics committee has proof of this. we know what he said to us. the disgusting things he has said to us in person why he can be the chief law enforcement officer. and jd vance will go along with this. i don't know i think this is partially because donald trump can find people to go do his bidding in the in the doj. this is partially donald trump's attempt to break the will and the resistance of senate republicans to prove that he can get anything through, although i don't think he's going to get this one through. but this is again, you kind of if you're a senate republican, you can oppose this one, and then you're scared to oppose anything else. and that's where you have like tulsi gabbard and some of the others that actually would, should deserve opposition as well. >> yeah, it's a very good point. >> former congressman adam
12:15 pm
kinzinger, marc lotter, appreciate the conversation. thank you so much. we actually want to get out to manu raju, who's been standing by on capitol hill for a long time now waiting outside. this closed door. and manu, a short time ago we saw some lawmakers emerge. they didn't seem eager to speak with you. what can you tell us about what you're seeing there now yeah. >> that's right. boris in this meeting that has gone on for about two hours and multiple members have come out refusing to comment about anything that went on there, including we have seen susan wild, who is the ranking democrat on the house ethics committee, declined to make a comment. one congressman, david joyce, did tell reporters that he did expect wilde and the chairman of the committee michael guest, to make a statement. now it's unclear if that's going to be an on camera statement or a paper statement. but guest we believe still in this room this one door that you are seeing is the only way in and out of this secretive committee. so we expect him to come out any minute. will he
12:16 pm
actually address what's going on? that remains to be seen. this is a very secretive panel. they didn't even want to know anyone to know that this meeting was ongoing but we found out. and of course, the press is all here waiting for their decision. now, the question is, do they actually have a vote to release this report? if they if they were successful in that vote, they would need one republican at least to join the five democrats who wanted this report to come out, come out publicly. now, the chairman of the committee guest told me on his way in that he said this report was not actually done, which he said gave him some reservations in moving ahead with this report. there are ways to release this, one of which is a democrat any member can force a vote on the house floor to essentially call for this vote, this report's release that would require support of a majority of house members. but that would mean republicans would have to join democrats in doing so. unclear if that will happen. two other ways that guest said that this could be released one is simply a vote to make it public, or they can transmit it directly to the senate judiciary committee. given that there are republicans and democrats on
12:17 pm
the committee that want to see what >> do that and still needed to go through, i guess it's final that to us because complete. >> it just needs maybe a a final look over or a final edit. i mean, explain to us how far done this report actually is be a point of contention because democrats say that this is ready for prime time republicans are indicating it is not >> he said this is still in its final product. it's in its final review stages. and during
12:18 pm
this report's review stages, of course, the staff is the one that conducts all these investigation. the interviews they compile, the report and then the members have to sign off on it and there's a back and forth that is going on on that particular issue. but brianna, i can tell you that this report could have come out earlier, but the committee has rules in deciding when it can release reports. they can't do it too close to an election, which is why they waited until after the election. then matt gaetz abruptly resigned. and now it puts this committee in a bit of a dilemma here with the speaker saying, don't release reports against former members, even though there is precedent in doing it. and that's what they've been debating now for more than two hours. and we'll see what they ultimately decide to do. >> so strange, because it's not a steak. it's not like you can like it. well done. or you can like it medium or medium rare. it's done. when it's done, it's done when it's done and shan wu quickly. >> are we sure there are no windows in that room that lawmakers may have climbed out of in an effort to avoid you possible that would not be unprecedented for us.
12:19 pm
>> but, uh, i'm assuming that there's one way in or out. but, you know i learn something new every day here we'll make sure to keep an eye on it. >> manu raju thank you so much for the update from capitol hill. still plenty more news to come here on news central, including ukraine saying that russia spread a quote, fake warning of a massive looming airstrike, calling it a psychological attack. we're going to be joined by a ukrainian father whose baby is as old as the war between the two countries, about what the past thousand days have been like and the fear they live with every day, plus the punishment for the undocumented migrant convicted of killing georgia nursing student laken riley. >> how long he'll spend in prison and new warnings from america's biggest store that you're going to see even higher prices if the president elect keeps his promise on tariffs. what you're going to pay more for that and much more coming up on cnn news central

announcement. the judge had earlier issued a guilty verdict on all ten counts. defendant was facing, including malice, murder felony murder and kidnaping. without with bodily injury. the verdict was announced in a completely packed courtroom. the family and friends the eight rows available inside before reading the verdict. the judge, haggard made two observations one the closing statement by special prosecutor ross was very powerful, he said, and two, he took into account the defense's request that he set aside his emotions before issuing a verdict. the special prosecutor said in fighting her attacker, the victim left more than enough evidence to convict him. ross also had a very compelling argument when she asked judge haggard to sentence the defendants. the defendant of life in prison without the possibility of parole for the sake of lauren phillips laken riley younger sister. this is what she had to say she's growing up without her sister. >> she's going to have to deal

12:38 pm
much, rafael. >> brianna, we have some breaking news from capitol hill. let's get right to cnn's manu raju, who has been staking. >> thank you guys house ethics committee meeting just wrapped up. >> manu, what can you tell us yeah. >> michael guest, the chairman of the house ethics committee, the republican emerging from this closed door meeting not saying a whole lot to reporters but saying this very significant statement saying there was not an agreement by the committee to release the report. of course, that report referring to matt gaetz, donald trump's pick to be the next attorney general of the united states. this report detailing going into allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use by the former congressman. that report, of course had been part of a bipartisan probe for the past two years and its final stages. but it has not been released to the public yet. why? because gaetz abruptly resigned as a house member last week in the aftermath of his selection as attorney general. now, republicans, including the speaker of the house, say that should not be a public report because he's a former member. even though there's precedent for doing so. and after two
12:39 pm
hours of debate behind closed doors, and as democrats are demanding this report, what guests are saying is that there was not an agreement from the two sides to put this out publicly. he would not say brianna, whether or not there was actually a vote by the committee. i asked him that several times he would not say what the nature of the debate was, or if they're going to revisit this in any way. but he did tell me on the way in that he views this report is not finished. still, in the final review stages he said, and needs to, which is why he had some reservations going forward. but democrats are not going to be satisfied by this answer so expect this to be a big fight, especially as senate republicans themselves want to see the allegations here as they consider this hugely significant nomination. brianna. >> all right manu raju on the hill, thank you for the update there. stay with cnn. we'll be right back disaster cleanup and restoration how do you make like it never even happened? >> happen. let it rain randy.

12:45 pm
now you have texas essentially saying here's some land where you can get started. this is coming from the texas general land office. and as you said, they're pointing to this area not far from the southern border in the rio grande city, where you could potentially, according to them, put up this sort of facility that would help deport and process people. now usually you'd have to go through a whole process with federal agencies you'd have to take the time to put up the facility, and you'd have to go to contracting, which usually takes time. but we know that trump has said he wants to move quickly, and we also know that these mass deportations are expected to cost an incredible amount of money. and require a large amount of resources. so texas making this offer could potentially help the trump administration move faster as they try to put these mass
12:46 pm
deportation plans in place, remains to be seen. if they will actually take up the offer. >> all right. we'll wait and see. gloria pazmino, thank you for the report. >> boris, it's not just texas getting ready for mass deportations under donald trump. the city of los angeles is also preparing. except officials there want to protect undocumented immigrants. cnn's veronica miracle is live in l.a. with the details. veronica, what's the latest there well, boris, the city of los angeles is really kind of setting themselves up for a fight with the trump administration potentially very much making their stance on immigration known ahead of >> the city council unanimously voted for this ordinance, and it essentially prohibits city resources from being used in immigration enforcement. it also prohibits city employees from cooperating with immigration agents that includes the lapd the los angeles police department, which actually has their own

instantly with code tv prize picks. run your game have i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn largest store walmart says if president-elect trump follows through on his promise for tariffs, you are likely to see higher prices on store shelves and walmart is not the only one that's worried. >> cnn's vanessa yurkovich is with us on this story. is saying and tell us how this is going to cost consumers
12:53 pm
yeah, the store known for everyday low prices is saying they're going to have to raise their prices if president trump goes ahead with his tariff proposals. >> and just to remind viewers that 60% tariffs on chinese imports and up to 20% on imports coming in from other countries, because much of what you see on walmart's store shelves come from other countries, and the cfo of walmart just yesterday telling cnbc that quote, our model is everyday low prices, but there will probably be cases where prices will go up for consumers. and walmart is not the only company sounding the alarm here. a host of other companies and retailers are saying that they too, will have to raise prices. steve madden saying they're going to move 45% of their business out of china to try to beat these tariffs and they will probably have to raise prices. black and decker. the power tools company saying they could see a hit of $200 million if these tariffs go into effect. columbia sportswear saying that they are

12:55 pm
tanking down 22% on this news. part of this, though, brianna, could be that target is losing some of their upper income customers to brands like walmart, where they have more essentials like groceries. customers we know are spending more on everyday items versus candles and home decor, and also worth noting that walmart is doing very well they are projecting strong holiday sales, so a tale of two retailers target really struggling with holiday shopping. but walmart saying that they have a lot of customers coming in and taking advantage of their everyday low prices. >> brianna really interesting. vanessa yurkevich thank you so much for the report. and this just in, we told you moments ago the house ethics committee chair told reporters as he left this meeting that was happening today, there was not an agreement by the panel to release the report on matt gaetz. but now we've learned that the committee voted on whether to release the report and republicans voted to
