12:02 pm
against trump. but he says the decision is not based on merits or strengths of the cases. >> plus, fighting for their freedom, the menendez brothers are in court for the first time in decades. what we know about their upcoming hearings after being sentenced to life in prison for murdering their parents and a final message from youtube's late ceo three months after she passed away from lung cancer. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central president-elect donald trump scoring two huge legal victories. >> special counsel jack smith saying that he's dropping the 2020 election subversion case and the classified documents case against trump. >> cnn's paula reid and evan perez are with us now. paula, walk us through the latest so this morning, the first case
12:03 pm
that he moved to dismiss was the washington, d.c., election subversion case. >> and in his filing, he said, look, the country has never faced this circumstance where you have a president elect facing a pending criminal prosecution. and he acknowledged what we have reported, which is he consulted with lawyers inside the justice department about preexisting guidance that says a sitting president cannot be indicted or prosecuted and they had to work out exactly how that applies to a president elect, but that they have decided that this also applies to a president elect, that this prosecution quote, must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated. but he notes, he said this prohibition does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the government's proof or the merits of the prosecution. so there he is saying, look, we fully stand behind our case, but this is an extraordinary circumstance. then a short time thereafter, we heard about the mar-a-lago case, and there they are dropping the case against trump, but they are leaving in place the case, which is currently on appeal against his two co-defendants. so it'll be
12:04 pm
interesting to see how the trump justice department handles that, because the reason that case is being appealed is because a trump appointed judge, aileen cannon, had tossed the case, saying that the special counsel was improperly appointed. so if the trump doj wants to use special counsels, they're going to have to be delicate about how they handle that appeal and whether they pardon those two codefendants or dismiss the case. it's tricky for them evan, you've obviously been covering this for a while, standing outside the courthouse for days on end. >> this is not a surprising moment, but it is the closure of a big chapter in trump's legal woes. >> it is. it is a closure. and i think one of the important parts of this that we will see how the judge, the two judges who deal with this but in the in the january 6th case, one of the things that the that the special counsel is saying is that the immunity that a sitting president enjoys of course, ends when that person is no longer president. and so what they're asking the judge for here is to, to not to
12:05 pm
dismiss this case without prejudice, which means that there is this tiny little possibility once donald trump is no longer president, that the judge could revive this case. it's the same language they're using in the appeal case in the in the 11th circuit for the classified documents case. what are the chances of that? i don't know. i think anybody can guess. but i think closure is the word that you're using. and i think that that's right. i mean, it is one of the things that the, the prosecutors looked hard and looked at very, very, very closely to try to figure out whether they could get to donald trump in the january 6th cases. they they spent months and months and months and months before they finally filed this case and obviously, time ran out, right? the supreme court, as you have been talking about, gave them a huge assist. but all along, donald trump's strategy was to delay this so that his fate would be in the hands of the voters and the voters made that decision. >> yeah, we're looking at all
12:06 pm
the all the cases now that trump has faced and essentially most, if not all of them go away. there's just the question of what happens next in georgia, in georgia. >> yeah, that case is currently in limbo. there's a question about whether the da fani willis should be removed from the case because of her relationship with the lead prosecutor there, nathan wade. that was expected to be argued i believe it's next week. that's not happening so the case is just in limbo. it cannot proceed while trump is in office, certainly not while he's president elect, because you already have all these issues before you even g just u what is going to happen to the case against trump. and even the case against his co-defendants. that case, it's it's again limbo is the best way i can describe it because there are so many issues with that case. not only legal questions but also personnel questions tbd. >> paula, evan thank you both so much. appreciate it. cnn's alayna treene is live for us in west palm beach near mar-a-lago. getting the response from donald trump's team over the federal cases ttg you hearing, elena well i think
12:07 pm
it's no surprise that the trump team is celebrating this even though this was something that they had ultimately expected. >> as soon as donald trump had won the election. i want to read for you what we heard from steven cheung donald trump's incoming white house communications director. he said quote, the american people reelected president trump with an overwhelming mandate to make america great again. today's decision by the doj ends the unconstitutional federal cases against president trump and is a major victory for the rule of law. he went on to say that the american people and president trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country. now, this is typical of what we often hear from chung and his in his statements about any recent wins that we saw on regard in regards to donald trump's legal cases and them really going away now that he has won the election. and i think to evan's point, what evan pointed out about their strategy all along, this has been their strategy that they were going to delay these cases as long as possible up until the point where the election or
12:08 pm
excuse me, these cases would be decided by the election, that the voters would have a say and then if donald trump was elected that these cases would have to go away. so that's kind of what we're seeing happen. now. i do also want to read for you though, what we heard jd vance, donald trump's incoming vice president elect, is saying on this matter as well he said, quote, on x if donald j. trump had lost an election, he may very well have spent the rest of his life in prison. these prosecutions were always political. now it's time to ensure what happened to president trump. never happens in this country again. again, another thing we crely politicat really, to put a finer point on this boris, i mean, this is something all of these cases, particularly these cases from jack smith, had consumed donald trump and his campaign for several months, if not over a year now, and really having them go away and having him being able to focus truly on the work that is ahead and right now, putting his transition together is definitely a departure from what we've seen. this has always been weighing on donald trump and his team in the
12:09 pm
background throughout this entire stretch. boris. all right, alayna treene, thank you so much for that. >> let's talk a little bit more about this now with republican congressman mark molinaro of new york. sir, thank you so much for being with us. and i was hoping we did have your new york colleague a democrat, dan goldman, on the program this afternoon. and he was saying that smith's decision here is a shame that this is trump evading accountability. what do you say to that? >> well, with all due respect to my democratic colleague from manhattan, he's never missed a moment to be blatantly partisan. >> this is long standing practice. jack smith, obviously, as you reported, consulted and we don't take legal action against sitting. and in this case incoming presidents of the united states beyond that, of course, i take issue with the prosecution to begin with. i think it is begin blatantly politically motivated, but here's the
12:10 pm
thing. the american people spoke. this was a change. through donald trump's return to the white house, the kind of change that by the way, tackles a bureaucratic state that thinks that we work for them, not the other way around. and i think ultimately it's the right decision and the american people expect us to move forward with the kind of change the president was elected to implement. >> i do wonder what you think of the cabinet that is taking shape right now. as we see, we're getting a much better sense of it after the weekend. you did congratulate your friend, outgoing congresswoman lori chavez-deremer for being selected by trump to lead the department of labor. she's of course, one of the most labor friendly republicans when it comes to the ones in washington. she's one of the only ones to support the pro act. what does her selection tell you about how the trump administration is going to approach labor? >> well, i think first, the president is assembling a cabinet that reflects really the mandate that he's been granted and his vision to to improve the quality of life,
12:11 pm
drive down cost and secure and make safe this country for the american people. lori is a fighter. she's a thoughtful, diligent leader. the president is sending the message that he meant what he said he was going to put american workers first. he was going to work to to rejuvenate and revitalize the american economy and that he was going to drive down costs for american families. and lori will be a tremendous asset, as will the entire trump cabinet in attaining those goals. >> so for instance, senator bill cassidy, who appears poised to become the chair of the senate health, education and labor committee, has expressed some caution. so i think he reflects obviously, the views of some republicans who are looking at someone who's so pro-labor. there are also republicans who look, for instance at rfk jr.. for hhs and his past expressions on the issue of abortion. and they have a lot of concerns. what do you say to your republican colleagues who having seen that trump made strides with certain
12:12 pm
voters and that he's incorporated some people into his cabinet, that maybe other republicans might not? what do you say to them about what they should expect about how those voting blocks are going to be represented in his government? >> first, it's absolutely appropriate for the senate to advise and consent, right? they're going to go through a process. it ought to be diligent. but i say they listen to the american people. they can't on one hand celebrate that president trump has returned to office as a change agent return to the white house built the broadest coalition of republican candidate for president has had in history. they can't look at that. and then suggest somehow his choices to to administer his vision and this government on behalf of of american people desperate for change that somehow that's wrong. i think they need to give him the benefit of the doubt, ask their questions and understand the president's assembling a cabinet meant to reflect not only the mandate for change. he was given but the real desire of the american people not to fight over politics or partisanship or old ideology, but actually to produce
12:13 pm
results, drive down costs secure the border, make our country safe and, by the way, tackle the bureaucratic state that has its to elected officials and really hold it accountable, make it more efficient, make it more effective, smaller, smarter, and more successful on behalf of the american people do you think there may be some backlash when it comes to that? >> when it comes to maybe some in the party not feeling represented? >> well, i think that the president has assembled a team of people that represents the interest, not only of my side of the aisle, but of the american people's desire for change. and so there's always going to be a little bit of backlash. but i wouldn't want to take this president on at this moment. he was given a mandate to change the way in which washington functions and i think he ought to be given the benefit of the doubt in assembling this team. and and again a great reflection. i think of the mandate and the vision. he's been he's been elected to implement. >> so you lost your reelection
12:14 pm
bid earlier this month. but axios is reporting that you're considering running to fill congresswoman elise stefanik, soon to be to her position in the administration. what's going to be the deciding factor for you on that listen, ultimately, i'm committed to to serving the people of new york, trying to assist the president here on the ground in new york i'd be honored to continue to represent the people of upstate new york in one way or another but my first job, first job is to finish out this term and i'm committed to assisting the president just a week ago, we held fema accountable. >> that's an institution that needs remarkable change in divorce from the bureaucratic state that has helped it lose its focus. there's a lot of change that needs to happen, and i want to be a part of ensuring that that this country grows in prosperity and that americans have a have a government that respects them. >> congressman molinaro, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. happy thanksgiving. >> yeah, happy thanksgiving to you as well. and still to come,

12:20 pm
you. >> in the case of lyle and erik menendez. a hearing just wrapped up moments ago where family members testified that the brothers should be released from prison. >> the pair have been serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for killing their parents in their beverly hills mansion >> joining us now is trial attorney mercedes colwin she also hosts the podcast m and m in the morning. mercedes, thank you so much for being with us. i just want to let you know we're waiting for a reporter, nick watt, to come out of the courtroom and get to a camera. so we may be jumping to him in just moments. i wonder what your reaction is to the hearing and to this apparent delay of resentencing that we're learning about not a surprise, boris, because the biggest game changer for the menendez brothers was when gascon lost the election and a new incoming da hockman is about to start on december 2nd.
12:21 pm
>> and we know that the resentencing hearing was was supposed to go forward on december 11th. nine days is just not sufficient. hockman has been very clear that he needs to review transcripts. he has to look at prison records. he's going to make his own independent judgment. so notwithstanding that the outgoing d.a. gascon was very clear that he felt the menendez brothers had served their time and they should be released upon. obviously, the parole board agreeing so. and of course, the judge, as well. but the hockman decided that he wanted to do this independently. and in the face of that, it just made so much sense for the judge to postpone it. >> all right, mercedes, if you can stand by for us. our nick watt just got out of the courtroom and is joining us now. nick tell us more about what this was like expecting to see the menendez brothers together in a courtroom for the first time in nearly 30 years. >> that didn't happen, apparently, because of atoday is up here in los angeles. we did hear them speak. they were asked can you see? can you hear
12:22 pm
what is happening in the court? they said, yep, we yep we can. and then one of the brothers said while this whole snafu was going on with the video link, one of the brothers then said afterwards we've had video access all along which raised a little bit of a laugh after that, it became very very somber. the boys two aunts, josie believes the boys have done their time, that 35 years is a long time, and that she feels that they should be released. the other aunt, aunt joan, who was the sister of kitty the mother she also said that the boys should be released. i'm going to read you some of their exact quotes from inside the courtroom. they're of course, no cameras inside the court so this is first kitty sister, she said no child should have to endure what eric and lyle did. it breaks my heart that my sister kitty knew, but did nothing about it. it's time for them to come home no children should have to live in fear day by day that their dad would come and
12:23 pm
rape them. now aunt terry, who is josie's brother, josie's sister said, i would like to be able to hug them and see them not going to jail. now, of course, the boys have always said that they did in fact kill their parents with shotguns in their home in beverly hills in 1989. the question has always been why? the prosecution said the boys wanted their parents huge estate they wanted the money. the boys themselves said that they had suffered years o physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of their father and that their mother is why they killed their parents. now, of course this case just really grabbed the public attention, both here in the united states and overseas at the time as i mentioned, it's been nearly 30 years since we've seen the boys since they were convicted. there were, of course tv shows. there was a peacock documentary in 2023,
12:24 pm
which suggested that a member of a boy band had also been molested, and abused by jose menendez. that led to the boys lawyers filing to say listen, there's new evidence here. there's also a letter that eric wrote to his cousin suggesting abuse. they the lawyers were asking for the case to be reopened. and then, of course, the outgoing district attorney, the now outgoing district attorney here in la, said that he wanted resentencing. we're now going to have to wait until the end of january to find out if and when those boys might actually be let out of jail after all this time. back to you nick watt, live for us in los angeles. >> nick, thank you so much for the update. we still have mercedes colwin with us and mercedes. i wonder as we're hearing this update from nick how much these statements from their family members, their two aunts carry weight with a judge as he's considering what options he has when it comes to these brothers. >> that's a great question,
12:25 pm
boris, and that's pretty essential for the judge to hear from the families what they would like to see. especially we're talking about kitty's sister, who is even more compelling than jose's sister because kitty's sister acknowledged that she believthae in fact sexually molested by the father. that is very key and we all know that that evidence was not permitted in that second trial that led to the conviction. so that's key for the judge, certainly. and of course, the fact that jose's sister although she didn't acknowledge directly that she believed that the menendez brothers, but she did say that she wanted to have them back with the family. so that she can hold them and hug them and show her love for them. that's very compelling but ultimately, the biggest question here is if is it going to be it's up to d.a. hoffmann whether or not he wants to entertain the resentencing, whether he wants to proceed with this, these proceedings. it's really going to be up to this new administration. and that's a big if.
12:26 pm
>> you also have this other issue of ideas perceptions, opinions of this case being so entrenched from the narrative that was established when the menendez brothers were tried i, i grew up in southern california. i remember it every day on the local news, seeing it on the national news, the narrative of these being young men who had killed their parents. and this is what the prosecution argued ultimately successfully, of privilege, that they were going to benefit financially and this idea that they had been victims was kind of dismissed. ultimately in the second trial. and i wonder when you see mercedes, these entrenched opinions that are formed, how hard it is to change that, even though we've seen people looking at this case with fresh eyes because
12:27 pm
of, yes, these documentaries and these these this television show that is such a great point because we have evolved, i mean, for so many years, and certainly back when the menendez brothers were convicted, back in the 80s, it really wasn't talked about. >> it really wasn't the focus. but thankfully, we've evolved as a society and there are horrendous, heinous acts that happen as a result of victimization. and this is why we have come to this point. then frankly, the social media, which obviously was a big focus on the abuse of the menendez brothers endured was the reason why there was even a look back to see whether there should be a further examination, whether the menendez brothers should be released because the underlying motivation for the killings, which they were, clear it was not about the money, the prestige any of that. it was because of the constant sexual molestation by their father. and thankfully we've arrived as
12:28 pm
a society where that does mean something and it is meaningful and it has to be examined and therefore, if hochman and this new administration puts weight on this, then then certainly we can see the menendez brothers be released and paroled, which is what gascon wanted to begin with. >> mercedes colwin, thanks so much for the analysis. appreciate your time. >> my pleasure. >> still to come, a macy's employee is accused of intentionally hiding more than $150 million worth of expenses and this forced the company to delay its quarterly earnings report. how it's impacting the company and where all that money went in just a few minutes happening all over the world, things that can make, things that can make our lives better. >> that's the goal of my podcast to try andd the secrets to a longer and happier and healthier life and then we bring those secrets to you. >> listen to chasing life

12:34 pm
no longer with the company. we have cnn's vanessa yurkovich joining us on this story. vanessa that's a lot of money. where is it? >> that is what macy's has been trying to find out. >> they were putting together their third quarter's earnings report. and they realized that the numbers simply were not adding up. so they launched this independent investigation and found that a single employee was fudging the numbers in the accounting of their small packages delivery expenses to the tune of $154 million. now, macy's is still investigating, which is why the company is saying that they are pushing their full earnings report and conference call that they normally hold to december 11th. individual was doing this. we do not know how this individual was doing this, but macy's says that the hiding of $154 million has had no impact on their cash management or their vendor payments. macy's also says that this was going on for
12:35 pm
three years during that time, the expenses totaled 4.3 million, company. so $154 million is a fraction, but it's still over $100 million of money. that was not accounted for. now the ceo of macy's saying in a statement this morning, quote, at macy's, inc., we promote a culture of ethical conduct while we work diligently to complete the investigation. as soon as practicable and ensure this matter is handled appropriately. our colleagues across the company are focused on serving our customers and executing our strategy for a successful holiday season. now, this particularly among investors who are wondering why the auditing within macy's did not work correctly, how they could have just figured this out now that $154 million over three years was being hidden from the

12:42 pm
signed in the next 24 hours. >> so it seems that both sides here think they're close. look, the israeli side does have reservations and one of those reservations is that they want the ability, the right to strike back at hezbollah if they break this ceasefire deal. it's supposed to initially, as the israeli foreign minister said today, the hezbollah have to pull back about 30 miles north of the border north of a place called the litani river. the idf pulled back inside of israel. but the thing that the the foreign minister said, that seems to be hard to achieve is he said that over time hezbollah must not be allowed to grow back into the military force, that it once was. how that happens, what's the mechanism for that and how they would ever agree to that really isn't clear. but but it does seem that both sides are headed towards this. look, the vote tomorrow in the cabinet. it's not a done deal. it's not in the bag for the prime minister yet. itamar ben gvir the national security minister.
12:43 pm
really one of the hard right wing members of prime minister netanyahu's cabinet has said today. he said, i told the prime minister hezbollah is losing. we should continue to press on, he said. continue continue, continue. he wants the idf to continue taking the fight to hezbollah tomorrow morning before the prime minister with the individual parties that make up his coalition. so that will be his opportunity to give the hard sell to people at itamar ben gvir and the others who are reticent about this um, but the momentum seems to be there. i don't get a sense of big support coming from the people who live in the north. i was talking with somebody i know is very close to the border in the north, and he feels that the government is selling them out. he feels that the terms of this deal are really like the terms of the deal in 2006, where it will be quiet for a while, but eventually hezbollah will make their way back to the border and become as big a threat again. so i think there's a level of disappointment
12:44 pm
certainly in the north of israel, the 60,000 people that were evacuated from there. but but nevertheless we do seem to be moving in that direction, not a done deal. then there's the implementation. but closer and closer. yes nic robertson live for us from jerusalem. >> thank you so much for the update staying focused on international news countries have come together for the cop29 summit and finalized a new climate deal after days of contentious negotiations in the agreement, developed nations including the united states are pledging $300 billion annually, so poorer countries can negotiate or rather, mitigate the effects of extreme agreement as a historic outcome while others are calling it an insult and a betrayal. >> cnn chief climate correspondent bill weir is with us now. those are a variety of responses here where does this deal fall short? >> bill well, it depends on where you live in the world, to be honest, brianna, it's the these are the developing countries india's negotiator
12:45 pm
was the first to stand up after the gavel came down and says this is stage managed sham. >> this is a paltry sum. we're not going to accept it. then leaders from fiji and bolivia and african nations all saying the same thing. let me give you some context. all the world came to this conference in baku, azerbaijan, and economists are saying the the actual amount given the scale and actual amount given the scale and speed of the climate crisis, needs to be about $1.3 trillion a year. this pledge, while it triples previous promises, is less than a quarter of that amount and it really gives the impression that the rich countries that built the modern world and put so much pollution in the sky are walking away from that. saudi arabia continues to not only backpedal on their pledge to help with the energy transition, they are now actively blocking it at every turn. sort of fortifying a fossil fuel future for the world. probably emboldened by the trump win the presidency. and while china leads the world in pollution and in renewable energy, they're putting solar and wind on online at a
12:46 pm
staggering pace. they still insist on being considered a developing nation, so don't want to kick into sort of this loss and damage fund. those are the big, big politics. but i tell you, everybody left with a reason to be angry at this one. and the fact that these negotiations are still holding up, i guess can be considered the one bright spot. >> yeah because, bill, this was a largely chaotic cop29 conference. you kind of describe some of the reasons it was so divisive, but ultimately why was it so combative? >> it's pendulum swing there's four years ago, even petro states were saying, we have to get off of the fuels that burn. it's literally burning the planet and we have to transition. last year was the first year after 28 of these, where the transition was spelled out. fossil fuels are in the past. we've got to move forward. but now the economy has shifted and investors are trying to get in on this. and countries like saudi arabia azerbaijan say no, not so fast. maybe we'll go for a while. of course, donald trump is saying drill, baby, drill. but what's interesting
12:47 pm
for an example right now in pakistan, they're having a huge solar boom. it's everywhere. they talk about it at cricket matches. it's on tv. they've got so much solar power coming online. they need technology to manage the grid so it doesn't crash. a perfect opportunity for the western world to come in and help them transition and not go back to fossil fuels. but now you got to imagine fossil fuel lobbyists will be trying to sell oil and gas in pakistan and undo that sort of sustainable renewable wave that's happening right now. and it's happening all around the world. so it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. >> yeah, we'll be watching with you. bill weir, thank you for the report. and up next a moving message from the late youtube ceo susan wojcicki is posted after her death. what she wanted the world to know about lung cancer as the rates among nonsmokers surge publicly what people are saying to themselves, i have enough money. >> i could just shut up i just

12:53 pm
yet she was diagnosed with this disease and she says that she is not alone. we have seen here in the united states a rise in lung cancer diagnoses among people who do not have a history of smoking. when you look at the numbers in the past 42 years, there has been a 84% increase in lung cancer diagnoses among women but a 36% decrease among men during that same time period. and i will say, just in general, we have seen an overall decline in lung cancer in the u.s. because we have seen fewer people smoking cigarettes. but at the same time, we've seen a rise among nonsmokers and women are twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with lung cancer. when you look specifically at men and women who have never smoked. so this is the takeaway message from susan wojcicki's blog that we need to take a closer look into this trend of lung cancer among nonsmokers. otherwise healthy
12:54 pm
young and middle aged adults. >> jacqueline, do we have any inclination as to what's leading to this trend? >> it's still a mystery. some researchers point to environmental causes. asbestos. other researchers say we're seeing more genetic mutations that are putting women at an increased risk of lung cancer but again, it's still unclear. and in susan wojcicki blog post, she does highlight that lung cancer is underfunded and under-researched. we also have guidelines, as you see on the screen here, for screening among people with a history of smoking. but some advocates say maybe we should consider guidelines for screening among nonsmokers to really get at what's behind this trend. so again, it's an ongoing conversation that's happening here and there's research being done that we're definitely going to keep an eye on jacqueline howard. >> appreciate the update. thanks. so much. stay with cnn. we'll be right back

1:00 pm
portly pup was inspired by a real life dog named waylon with his own weight loss story to tell on the company's website. i've watched the story of waylon, who bears a striking resemblance to the inflated dog. and i have to say, it made me open my eyes because waylon seemed perfectly healthy and happy in the before photos of him. then what happened? well, they put him on this dog food. they put him on like a rigorous exercise routine, and he seemed to get healthier. but my question is, how do you treat a good dog? you got to give him a treat. and if they're really good, you give him a lot of treats. so then you wind up in this awful conundrum. >> you rub them behind their ears. >> that's not enough. no. >> my dog will not move from places where i need to sit from the doorway from any location, unless they're treated and so you got to incentivize. >> so how do you treat him? you know, you give him a piece of cheese. >> i think
