in more than 80 stores worldwide i'm rahel solomon in new york and this is cnn just a huge break in the targeted killing of health insurers ceo brian thompson moments ago. >> new york police announced an arrest, and they say they found evidence of a possible motive. and these are the first images into cnn showing the full face

of 26 year old luigi mangione of maryland. the new york police commissioner called mangione, quote, a strong person of interest who has no criminal record. mangione was arrested in altoona pennsylvania, was allegedly found with an untraceable homemade ghost gun, a suppressor, and multiple fake ids, including one that police say appeared to be the one used in new york at a hostile by the suspect and a two page letter slamming the health care industry that document is currently in the possession of the altoona police department as part of their investigation. >> but just from briefly speaking with them, we don't think that there's any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document, but it does seem that he has some some ill will toward corporate america new york police are expected in altoona at any time. >> and at this hour, mangione has not yet been charged with murder. right now, the engineer

is facing charges related to the gun that he had on him, that ghost gun that officials believe may have been 3-d printed. it was five days ago when a masked gunman was seen on video using a silencer to shoot thompson to death outside a hotel in manhattan. he was a 50 year old and the father of two. let's bring in cnn's shimon prokupecz, who was at today's presser along with john miller, cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst. shimon first to you take us through what happens to luigi mangione now. >> well, so if the nypd detectives and the manhattan district attorney are on their way over to this area, that means that, you know perhaps maybe there's some chance that they may be able to get a statement from him. i don't know that for sure. obviously but certainly if he hasn't lawyered up and he's willing to speak to them, i do find it interesting that the manhattan district attorney's office is on their way as well, with the nypd detectives. so then from there, you know, he's basically going to have to face a judge in

pennsylvania where either he waives extradition or he doesn't, and then he fights it and then there would be a hearing. but presumably he would waive extradition. and then the nypd detectives would then transport him back to manhattan perhaps the midtown north precinct, which is on the west side of manhattan, because that's where the incident occurred. and then they would process him there and then officially charge him and book him and photograph him. and then he would be taken to central booking, and then he would face a manhattan judge where he would be arraigned. so, you know, it could be a day away from this. we could be days away from this. all depends on what he wants to do, ultimately, and what a judge there in pennsylvania would decide. that's usually how the process works. so i'm sure what the other thing that's going to happen is, look, the nypd now needs to go to pennsylvania and get possession of everything that was recovered. the fake

ids the weapon, the gun, this ghost gun. they then need to take it to their lab to connect it to the shell casings that were found at the crime scene that will give them direct evidence enough with which they can charge him with. obviously, they already have his fingerprints, because no doubt that's been done electronically. so they could ultimately already have a link to his fingerprint from the scene so that is some of what would be going on. but the nypd, because there is now a criminal prosecution they need to take hold of this evidence, secure it and then present it at some point as part of the evidence in this case. >> and john, nothing's going to bring brian thompson back but the heart i'm sure uh, for those who know him, they want to know why this happened. and that has i think, been such an interest for people all across the country. you've learned about this letter, this manifesto in in detail. tell us

about it so this is two pages. >> it starts off interestingly apologetically saying, you know, i apologize if this brought any strife or trauma but it had to be done. and you know, it talks about those parasites had it coming which is interesting because it is written in the plural where we have a single murder, which raises some questions as to were there other intended victims or was he intended to strike again? and what about the manifesto? was it meant to be found was it something he was going to send in to? either law enforcement or the media he does say in the manifesto, in this two page letter, if you will that he acted alone and was self-funded. so basically he's he's railing about the health care industry. he claims

in the, in the note that that we are the most expensive country when it comes to health care here in the united states. and yet we're 42 in life expectancy among other nations. again, i can't vet his information, but he he goes on about profiteering and gouging and it is interesting in that this document that is allegedly found with him really kind of mirrors very closely another document he wrote some time ago, basically, and stay with me here as a book review of the unabomber's manifesto but this is his own words. talking about ted kaczynski, how long until we recognize that violence against those who lead us to such destruction is justified as self-defense? these companies don't care about you, or your kids or your grandkids. they have zero

qualms about burning down the planet for a buck. so why would we have any qualms about burning them down to survive? so this is from january of 2024, the beginning of the year, but it shows early on what the profilers would call leakage. he's publicly kind of venting this anti-capitalist, anti-corporate anti-profiteerin g and justifying violence as the solution. >> john miller shimon prokupecz, thank you so much for the updates. let's get some more perspective now from cnn law enforcement analyst jonathan wackrow a former secret service agent. jonathan, thanks so much for being with us. when new york detectives get to altoona what do you expect them to do? what is this process like well, if they have an opportunity to speak to the suspect, what they're going to try to do is key in on is anyone else at risk? >> and i think that commissioner miller had a really good point around this

note or manifesto that was left behind. that it is intimating that there could have been more, you know more victims intended you know, or targeted by this suspect. so when we look at that, you know, we also want to understand, you know, what is the intent of this, this document. because it is a critical piece of evidence that is now in law, in the possession of law enforcement. oftentimes when, you know, suspects leave, these types of of documents, it's really to try to control the public perception of what their act was, ensuring that there's no misinterpretation of of what they were doing. and again, tying it back to, you know, other groups or groups of influence these types of notes can actually be meant to inspire others to mobilize or call to action. i think right now, that's what law enforcement is worried about. we oftentimes, you know, look at when there's a, you know some sort of critical event, a

mass shooting event or acts of targeted violence. we're worried from the law enforcement perspective of copycat attacks that is relevant, right now, especially with this manifesto. you know, so detailed in terms of what, you know, the reporting is around, you know, targeting against the health care insurance industry. so again looking at is there anybody else at risk and are they at risk by other a broader group. and that's what law enforcement is really looking at. right now is the public safety interest and then they'll get into the the rest of the investigation. >> jonathan what does it tell you that mangione was found, police say with so much evidence on him yeah, that's a little bit surprising. >> again, we you know, you know, typically what you would have is, you know, in, uh, in a case like this where you have a suspect that is on the run, what they're going to do is start shedding a lot of that evidence along the way. so should they get caught? should

they get identified? they're not going to have items of evidentiary value on them. you know, there is there is a belief that with some of these individuals, they want to get caught. they want to be that martyr. and so maintaining this manifesto and other items related to the crime, you know, you know could lead into that. but again, it's really early in the investigation. we're not sure if law enforcement is going to have the ability to even question the suspect at this point in time to really delve deeper into what was the motive. we know what the opportunity was. we know what his capabilities were. it's that last part of exactly what was his motive, what was his driving factor, and why did he target this individual on that day? >> all right jonathan, thank you so much for your insights we'll continue to follow this. and right now, three of president-elect donald trump's top picks for his incoming administration are on capitol hill. they are going through critical meetings as they're trying to shore up support this

includes pete hegseth, his pick for defense secretary tulsi gabbard his pick for director of national intelligence, and kash patel, who is his fbi director pick. despite the fact that there is still currently an fbi director. >> yeah, trump clearly sending a signal to christopher wray, who he hired back in 2017. we are told that pete hegseth is now intensifying his focus on persuading three female republican senators all of whom have raised questions about allegations against hegseth, related to alcohol abuse and past sexual misconduct. let's take you now live to west palm beach, florida, not far from mar-a-lago. we've got cnn's kristen holmes live for us. kristen hegseth said that he had a quote, very good meeting with joni ernst, the senator from iowa, one of those that had expressed skepticism to hegseth initially. but we've seen her in her discussions about this move a little bit toward a more favorable position to the former fox news host yeah, i mean, today looks very different than what we saw

at the end of last week we were told that they had a very frank conversation last week, but it didn't sound as though they were moving in really the right direction for hegseth but now what we're seeing is a little bit more of a cordial kind of conversation. >> at least that according to hegseth, is telling. and i was just reading through exactly what he said about that meeting. and one of the things i just want to flag here. he said, i've known her for ten years. the more we talk, the more we're reminded. as two combat veterans, how dedicated we are to defense. again, this is a very different sounding hegseth when it comes to joni ernst than what we saw last week, particularly after we heard rn saying that she would welcome him having an actual hearing that was a very big moving. the ball forward for hegseth and for the trump transition, who have been very concerned about how joni ernst might vote whether or not she was going to come around to pete hegseth. and it's not just her, as you noted. it's also murkowski, lisa murkowski of alaska, as well as susan collins. these are women who they believe they might have an

issue with getting hegseth across the finish line. they need these votes. one of the things that we saw last week was haig's own mother going on television on fox and friends, essentially saying imploring these women senators to come around to her son asking them to vote for him and to see that he is a good man. this, of course came because of the fact that she had written his mother had written him an email that the new york times published back in 2018, saying that he mistreated women. she has since said she apologized for that. we are also starting to see more and more of hegseth on the airwaves. this is intentional. he is one of the only people who has been appointed to the cabinet or excuse me nominated for a cabinet position or across the administration who has been doing actual media. that is intentional because they want him out there answering for some of this. but i will say one thing. we saw donald trump. he is standing by hegseth as of now but sources close to him tell me that that could change. it could change if the senate math ends up not being there. they think that

they still have a pathway for him now. could also change if there are more accusations. and now we know that hegseth, a name, has been submitted to the fbi for a background check. so we'll see what that yields. now, just quickly we also talked about tulsi gabbard up on the hill as well as kash patel. these are two other very controversial picks for president elect trump. and we are told of those three he is likely to be willing to expend political capital on tulsi gabbard and kash patel. he believes these are people who he really wants to see in his administration turning the page very different. and obviously firebrands that would be out there. we'll see how this all plays out kristen holmes live for us in west palm beach. >> thanks so much. still to come, syria entering a new era. but with bashar al-assad out of power, who is in the u.s. now warning that isis fighters in the region could take advantage of a chaotic situation. >> and later, a verdict in the trial of daniel penny, the former marine charged in the chokehold death of a man on a new york city subway. jordan

today. it's not scenes of celebration. it's not scenes of looting. like we were seeing today. now people are trying to make sure that they have stocked up on all the supplies that they might need. take a look at this line here. we're outside a bakery. these people say they've been waiting more than half an hour. some of them, they're waiting for bread. we've seen lines like this around the city. people are lining up for cash. they're lining up for gas. they are trying to make sure that they have enough food to ride out this transitional period where nobody really knows what's going to happen. now, you can see behind me at the end of the road there that is the central bank of syria. yesterday there was extensive looting. there a lot of people in the city started to feel a little bit concerned that this was going to be a chaotic period then more rebels arrived in the capital. the looting appears to have stopped. it does seem very calm on the streets of course,

there are many people who are elated that bashar al-assad is finally gone, but there is also the day to day that people need to focus on to ensure that they have enough bread, enough gas, enough cash, enough supplies to get them through this tenuous transitional period. clarissa ward, cnn damascus let's talk more now about these developments. >> we have retired army general wesley clark, the former nato supreme allied commander, with us just give us a sense of how you're seeing what has happened here as you see, damascus falling. the u.s. used b-52 bombers f-15 fighter jets, a-10 aircraft to strike more than 75 isis targets in syria. what was the objective here big power shift in the region prevent isis from coming back and taking charge hopefully get rid of the repressive government in

syria and open a new chapter in the middle east. >> um, iran is a big loser. russia's role will be reduced. turkey is a big winner in this and the future is unknown because we really don't know who he is. and this man jolani really is. he's he's executed a smooth takeover and and president erdogan of turkey said, let's let's have this happen very smoothly. he's the first leader who came out in support. that's probably because turkey's been supporting him and grooming him. under under under the radar. all along. and it's worked but now what happens? because these are islamist organizations. what are the standards they're going to put in place what's the revenge they're going to exact on those who have been opposed to them and what will happen to the institutions of governance? will they remain in place? will

there be civil servants is education going to be changed uh, the taliban's pretty happy about this. why are they so happy about it from afghanistan? they must think something's going their way in this. so there are a lot of uncertainties. and i know the president took credit for supporting israel and israel has done a big job here. but look, there's still chemical weapons there. there's probably biological weapons there. there's a lot of other hardware that israel is trying to destroy. but do they know where all that is? do they get it all and and then what's the impact when the dust settles here? what are we dealing with in syria? >> yeah. israel quickly going after those chemical weapons capabilities and systems. but as you say, can they get it all? that's a huge if there are about a thousand american troops in syria whose mission it is to keep isis at bay which is designated as a terror group, although as you mentioned al gilani's, you

know, he's got this narrative. he's making big promises as he moves into governance mode. um how does his coming in affect the u.s. mission there, or does he have an interest in kind of calming compartmentalizing from the american mission in syria well, i think he's, first of all, is going to work damascus and what it has influence over. >> let the americans stay where they are for now it's very important, i think, that the americans do stay where they are for now. look turkey's hand is behind this in one way or another. we know this turkey was consulted before isis went into mosul ten years ago. erdogan knew about it. he knew it was happening. and so. and turkey's always wanted idlib back. so there may be a territorial swap deal here in play. and turkey is happy to keep russia there because it's a it's a trade off for russia plus a turkey that has

influence over russia. so you can't take the state actors out of the equation here. but at the bottom you still have this. what was al nusra and a terrorist organization. and julani is boy, he sure sounds good, but the taliban didn't sound that bad. after the fall of afghanistan either. and step by step, they put all the repressive measures back in. so we just don't know where this is going, brianna. and that that really is the question we want to make sure wherever it goes, they don't have access to the chem and bio. >> yeah. and then finally, just one question. as you have trump coming into power with a message of sort of isolationism, stay out of syria. and we saw what he did, pulling out some american troops who had long been supportive of longtime kurdish allies in the region. what do you expect? maybe the dynamic

is he's coming back into the white house and how that could impact things in syria i'm kind of expecting a different dynamic. >> i think now he's he recognizes he knows what power is. he wants to be a global player. you can't be a global player by withdrawing from everything he's got a seat at the table. there with the forces on the ground he's got something to talk about with erdogan and mbs. he's in a critical position to help netanyahu so i think he's going to hold on to that for a while. he recognizes that when he's dealing with ukraine and georgia and so forth, the world is watching. it's not just about europe. it's about china, north korea iran. he's got some big opportunities to make some climactic changes in the middle east. if he plays his cards right, he wants to make america great again. he can't do it by just falling back into the united states, because it's not just about the united states. it's about our role in the world and i think

he sees this much more clearly now than he did in 2016, 2017. >> yeah, we'll know soon enough. anyways, general wesley clark, thank you so much for being with us thank you, brianna and we'll be right back can't fool myself it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life had extremely joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> you only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> luther. never too much new year's day on cnn. >> we learned that becket would be born with half of a heart. you have all these expectations, and they just come crumbling down. >> he was transferred to the hospital. we had a plan and kind of built relationships with the people that were going to be saving our son's life. six surgeries and three open heart surgeries without the staff and the surgeons, our son would not be here without a hospital. >> they saved his life. >> people take for granted all the things that a hospital does. there are people that give their life to serve. these

tackle immigration. >> everything from aggressive deportation efforts to protecting dreamers. cnn's priscilla alvarez has the details president elect donald trump previewed his immigration actions in an interview that aired on sunday. >> and in that interview, he stood by his pledge of mass deportation suggesting that it would go beyond criminals but not detailing who exactly he was referring to, but also saying that it is, quote, a very tough thing to do. of course there are limited resources for detention and deportation and challenges when it comes to repatriating some individuals. back to their home countries. all of that lies ahead for the president elect and his incoming administration but he stood firm on the idea that they, quote, came in illegally. but he made an exception or appeared to make an exception for those undocumented immigrants who came to the united states as children. they're often referred to as dreamers. and on them, the president elect said that he would work with congress to potentially provide

protections. >> and we have to do something about the dreamers, because these are people that have been brought here at a very young age and many of these are middle aged people now. they don't even speak the language of their country. i will work with the democrats on a plan, and if we can come up with a plan. but the democrats have made it very, very difficult to do anything republicans are very open to the dreamers. >> now for years, congress has tried to extend protections through legislation for that group of undocumented immigrants. again who came to the u.s. as children and many of whom are now adults. but they have not been able to do so, so significant that the president elect showed a willingness to work with congress to do that. but he also detailed some of his controversial plans, including for example, ending birthright citizenship that, according to experts, would require congress and more than two dozen other countries also offer that though the president elect suggested that it was only the united states. so certainly the president elect working on these immigration actions ahead

of january and his team planning on what exactly will take effect and when in those early days. priscilla alvarez, cnn washington. >> our thanks to priscilla alvarez for that report. let's discuss this and more with congresswoman madeleine dean, a democrat from pennsylvania, a member of the judiciary committee and a former trump impeachment manager. congresswoman, thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. so, president-elect trump expresses this openness to dreamers, saying he wants to work with democrats to protect them. he made similar remarks in his first term, expressing some openness. but when a deal fell through, his administration tried to end daca. i wonder what you envision a bipartisan agreement on dreamers might look like well, good to be with you. >> thank you for inviting me today. i welcome the president elect and his hope to find a pathway to citizenship for

dreamers. >> but as you point out, we have been down this road before and it's in direct. very strange incoherent conflict with what he said later in that interview around birthright citizenship. imagine he's open to dreamers path to citizenship, as am i. it is the right thing to do. it is the economically right thing to do. it is the humane correct thing to do for this country and for those people. but to say he wants to end the constitutional protection of birthright citizenship it simply makes no sense. >> there were three senators who called on the white house recently to take steps to protect dreamers and tps holders before january 20th, when trump is said to be sworn in. is there much president biden could do that? a president trump couldn't just undo well, whether or not president-elect trump undoes, i

really do call upon president biden in these final days to make sure as many folks can be protected as possible. >> i'm thinking of ukraine citizens who are here and many other citizens who are here under temporary protected status. so regardless of what mr. trump might do in an upcoming administration president biden should do everything to protect tps holders i also want to ask you about a portion of his meet the press interview in which he said that he would not direct his department of justice to go after those who investigated his role. >> in january sixth, though he did say that members of the january 6th committee should go to jail. i wonder what your reaction is to that and whether you think president biden should issue preemptive pardons for those lawmakers i thought maybe we're playing a clip i apologize, um again, this didn't make much sense. >> what is it that president elect trump believes the

january six committee is guilty of what crime was committed in doing their job of marking for history exactly what happened to that point that we could know as to what happened on the attack on the capitol on january 6th, incited by the former president, as you know, two members of that committee were republicans extraordinary public servants. but much more importantly everybody who came in front or just about everyone who came in front of that committee and offered their testimony at their own peril were republicans. many of them who wanted to see president trump succeed, many of whom were heartbroken and challenged by the fact of what he did on the days leading up to january the 6th. what he did during january the 6th, 187 minutes of watching the attack on the capitol watching an attack on capitol police, his own vice president in known jeopardy. and so i just would

ask mr. trump, what crimes did they commit in their oversight? and historic duty of making sure america knows what happened on january the 6th? >> congresswoman, you were an impeachment manager responsible for laying out the case, alleging that trump incited the insurrection. are you concerned that you might be a target? and would you like a preemptive pardon from president biden i'm not concerned for myself. >> i have to tell you, that was one of the highest, saddest honors i will ever have serving in congress. i'm sorry we had to ever come to a point of a second impeachment of mr. trump especially for those actions which were so, um, so evident of high crimes and misdemeanors as anticipated by our founders. so i'm not worried for myself, i was doing what i was charged with doing in the course of my responsibilities as a member of congress. i'm not worried for

there were protests outside the courtroom that grew louder on both sides after the verdict came in, and the district attorney said prosecutors had received threats. cnn national correspondent gloria pazmino has more on today's controversial verdict reporter now, the fact that this jury was hung on that first charge, the more serious charge of the two certainly reflects a lot of the views of new yorkers. >> this was a very politically charged case. and new yorkers here are divided about what to do about some of the issues that were exposed by this case, specifically homelessness, mental illness and public safety, especially when it comes to the public transit system. now, the charge here was criminally negligent homicide, and the prosecution simply failed to prove to the jury that penny should have known that there was a risk in placing jordan neely in that chokehold. now we have gotten some reaction from the manhattan district attorney

alvin bragg, who issued a statement shortly after the verdict saying that his office respects the process and also saying, quote the jury has now spoken at the manhattan da's office. we deeply respect the jury process and we respect their verdict. unfortunately, over the duration of this trial talented career prosecutors and their family members were besieged with hate and threats on social media by phone and over email. simply put, this is unacceptable. and everyone no matter your opinion on this case should condemn it. so that again shows you just how much attention and how much political tension there was around this case by new yorkers who were divided on the case, some who believe that penny did the right thing by stepping in and intervening because he felt that jordan neely posed a threat and others who said that jordan neely was simply a

person who needed help was asking for food and water at the time, and should have been let go buy from penny as soon as he put him in that chokehold. in the meantime, the family of jordan neely filing lawsuit against daniel penny for the death of their son gloria pazmino, thank you so much for that. >> it could end up being the highest grossing tour in history. taylor swift closing out her final eras tour show last night. we'll have it next oh what a good time we will have you can make it happen again voltaren for long lasting arthritis pain relief hey, i'm brian gari and today we're talking about the biggest misconception there is about replacement windows. >> i'm here with ted the
