own government is using drones to spy on you, and he wants it to stop. the government says it only does it to stop criminal activity, but the senator says it doesn't matter. no warrant, no spying. i'll talk to him as he makes his case. and happy birthday to cam d den yards, celebrating 20 years of housing the baltimore orioles. how the stadium became the gold standard in sports. and good morning to you. i'm carol costello. we begin this hour with a manhunt for the triple murder suspect. alabama police thought they had picked up the trail of 22-year-old desmonte leonard in montgomery. but after six hours and a round of tear gas, they abruptly left the scene without comment. david mattingly has been following the latest developments. so was he ever inside that house? >> well, that's a really good question. everyone left the scene late last night without any kind of explanation. throughout the night, we heard from officials in montgomery who said that as they were throwing the tear gas in there, searching the attic, that they heard
9:01 am
someone coughing, someone sneezing. as if they were in distress from the tear gas. so they felt pretty good that there was someone in that house. and they got what they call some credible information that desmonte leonard was in that house. so they converged on it. you saw how many resources -- you can look at the video and see how many people were out there. this is a very dangerous guy, and they want to catch him very badly. and apparently they walked away very disappointed last night. >> so they are going to hold some kind of press conference later on this morning. what do you suppose they'll say? >> hopefully they'll explain exactly what they found or didn't find in that house, and about the tips they might have gotten. because they got a call on 911. i talked to the sheriff of montgomery county this morning who is in charge of 911. and he was saying that this woman called in and said the suspect, desmonte leonard, is in my house. i saw him. he's in my house. plus, they had a couple of other tips that said he was in the neighborhood. so they felt pretty confident when they went into that house last night that they were going to get this man. >> police believe he is still armed and dangerous? >> yes. as long as he's out there, they
9:02 am
are going to say he is absolutely dangerous. they want this guy caught very quickly. that one shooting at that one party in auburn left three people dead and three people wounded. >> i'm sure you'll be continuing to follow the story. and monitor that news conference as well. david mattingly, thank you so much. a legal fight is brewing between the federal government and florida over the state's efforts to remove more than 100,000 people from voter roles. the justice department says it will file a lawsuit claiming that the purge violates voting rights laws. critics say the plan is flawed and unfairly targets minorities. last hour on cnn, florida's governor said he's merely protecting the integrity of elections by booting ineligible voters. >> if there's credible evidence that somebody is registered to vote that's not, they get sent a letter. they have 30 days to respond. if they don't respond, then there's a notice filed in the paper. if they don't respond then, they are taken off the rolls. but if they show up to vote, they get to vote provisionally and then we make sure.
9:03 am
because we don't want anybody that has -- we want all u.s. citizens to vote. we don't want non-u.s. citizens to vote. >> scott says florida will file its own lawsuit demanding that the department of homeland security share its database to help identify who is a legal u.s. citizen and who's not. at the top of the hour, the nation's top law enforcement official will appear on capitol hill to face some tough questions. the two biggest issues for attorney general eric holder, the recent leaks of classified intelligence and the bungled fast and furious gun smuggling sting. yesterday, a house panel announced it will vote on whether holder is in contempt of congress for failing to produce documents in the fast and furious investigation. also today, voters in arizona will choose the successor to gabby giffords' congressional seat. the special election pits a former giffords challenger against a former giffords aide who was also critically wounded in last year's shooting rampage. giffords, who suffered a brain injury in the attack, is campaigning for her former colleague. >> she's doing great.
9:04 am
you know, we've been here in tucson for a few days. going around. gabby has been thanking ron's supporters and volunteers. and motivating them to get out the vote here for the election. >> the race is considered too close to call. the winner will serve the remainder of giffords' term and face re-election in november. military investigators returned to the crash site of a u.s. military navy drone later today. it's not clear why the unmanned aircraft crashed in a marsh near salsberry, maryland. it comes at a cost of $176 million. the so-called victim number one takes the stand in the jerry sandusky trial. he is the teenager who triggered the entire investigation by becoming the first to come forward. and he's the second alleged victim to take the stand against the former penn state football coach. susan candiotti is following the case and she is outside the courthouse. has he taken the stand yet,
9:05 am
susan? >> reporter: well, we do not know. but court is certainly getting underway minutes from now if it hasn't already. jerry sandusky entered the courthouse a good half-hour ago. the importance, carol, of this first person is this. he is now 18 years old. but he has previously told a grand jury that when he was between the ages of 11 and 15, that jerry sandusky allegedly raped him, fondled him, attacked him at least 20 times, he testified, both at sandusky's home, at his own high school, and one time he testified that a wrestling coach even came upon them one night. this is a young man who has said that he had to transfer out of his high school after these allegations, after the investigation came to light, because he was getting flak from some students and fallout from some parents who were supporters of jerry sandusky.
9:06 am
and as a matter of fact, this young man just graduated from a different high school just last weekend. carol? >> susan candiotti reporting live for us this morning. as the sun comes up in colorado, firefighters are hoping today is the day they can finally gain control of a fast-moving deadly wildfire. just since saturday, 64 square miles have burned sometimes traveling at 40 feet per second. alexander steel is here to tell us more about this fire and whether the weather will cooperate with firefighters. >> hi, carol. good morning. well, we also have learned this morning that actually lightning strike did ignite this fire on friday morning. and you heard carol say it's claimed thus far 41,000 acres. now, in this topography, wind s direction are common. but yesterday, a wind shift was favorable. it moved and put the fire in unto itself as opposed to burning more landscape. but that was just for a brief time in the afternoon.
9:07 am
moving about 20 to 40 feet per minute. and that is really very fast. so kind of what we're seeing in terms of containment, weather contention, it is all about the weather. the best scenario, cooler temperatures, calmer winds and higher humidity. well, will we see that? not really. yesterday, temperatures in the upper 60s and 70s. it's warmer and also windier today. we'll see the gusts at about 30, 35 miles per hour sustained between 10 to 15. humidity at 20%. unfortunately, tomorrow temperatures warm into the 90s and will stay about 89 and 90 for the next couple of days. >> oh, man. alexandra, thanks. >> sure. in the world of sports, the l.a. kings have put a hollywood ending onto their season. the kings beat new jersey last night to win the stanley cup. the kings barely made the playoffs as an eight seed and then went on an amazing 16-4 postseason run. team captain dustin brown was
9:08 am
9:09 am
9:11 am
12 minutes past the hour. checking top stories now, the justice department says it will sue florida over its program to purge voter lists before the november election. an initial comparison of florida drivers licenses and voting records turned up more than 182,000 names of people who might not be u.s. citizens. washington says the program unfairly targets minorities and violates federal voting laws. voters today are deciding whether the university of north dakota can keep the fighting sioux nickname. whatever the outcome, some say
9:12 am
they'll fight to change the state constitution that requires the nickname and indian head logo. native american groups find the name demeaning. the ncaa has threatened the school with sanctions if it doesn't drop the nickname. in money news, one thing that might get easier as you travel, finding a plug. airports are installing more charging stations for passengers wanting to recharge electronic devices. several airports are locating the new power outlets where pay phones used to be, and several airlines installing more outlets at the gates. ? weather, cleanup still underway in western new jersey after a brief but powerful thunderstorms. strong winds downed trees and power lines. crews have been working to restore electricity to people in morris and sussex counties. and check out this courtroom video. an inmate tried to escape a holding cell. this happened in jefferson county, kentucky. the inmate had just appeared before the judge when police
9:13 am
tried to get another inmate out of the holding cell. he was jumped but quickly tackled. the inmate now faces attempted escape and assault charges. the smoldering wreckage is still lying in a marsh in salisbury, maryland, what's left of a military drone. no injuries or property damage, but a $176 million loss for the air force. the air force is still investigating why this thing crashed. the drone is used for military purposes, but smaller drones are being used by law enforcement agencies across the country. police say these small drones can fly low and undetected and help them fight crime. the american civil liberties union says it's a violation of personal rights. republican senator rand paul does too. he is here now. welcome, senator. >> good to be with you. >> tell us about your anti-drone bill. i actually have it right here, and i'm amazed it's three pages long. >> well, you know, i got the idea from representative austin
9:14 am
scott. so i have to give him some credit from georgia. he told me about the bill recently. we picked it up and are introducing it as the senate version. yeah, i'm a big fan of the fourth amendment. i think you should have to have a warrant to invade people's privacy and to spy on them. and so i think it's very important. and this is just basically restating the constitution. but sometimes you have to restate the constitution because many up here seem so ignore it. and representative scott when he told me about the bill said, look, when i'm out hunting on my property, i don't want them spying on me. and i'm not a hunter. but when i'm separating out my recyclables, i don't want them having a drone to make sure i'm putting my newspaper in the proper bin. >> well, we've already got drone launch sites in more than 20 states. police are pretty excited about this new crime fighting tool. so would your bill make these launch sites go away? >> what it would do is there's a balancing act. police do have power. and i want police to catch rapists and murderers.
9:15 am
but they ask a judge. and we separate the police from the people who finally make the decision on someone coming in your house. so even if a rapist is loose in d.c. tonight, the police will call a judge in the middle of the night, wake him or her up and say, we think there's a rapist in the neighborhood. can we go in x address? and so those are things that are very, very important to protecting innocent individuals. and a drone is a very, very powerful way of snooping on behavior. and i don't want them monitoring every bit of my behavior. and i'm not joking about the recyclables. i mean, we've had different states and cities trying to punish people criminally for not separating out the recyclables. we don't want a nanny state that watches every minute of our day. it's not that there will be no drones much it's that drones will only be used when a judge says that it's proper. >> what about in this instance? one texas sheriff told reporters his agency is considering arming his drones with rubber bullets and tear gas. let's say there's a large crowd gathering and you need some crowd control.
9:16 am
this type of drone might be able to diminish problems on the ground. would that be allowed under your bill? >> anything that would require a warrant. it would have to have a warrant. and i'm concerned about obviously arming drones. but i don't want to say that i'm arguing against technology. for example, there's a bomb in a car, i'm very happy that we have automated robots to go up to the car and investigate the bomb and we don't have to risk a human. same with drones. if they can save lives, that's one thing. arming drones, i don't think domestically armed drones are a good idea. what i would say is that drones can be used if you have a proper warrant. but that means you go through a judge. a judge has to say there is probable cause of a crime. but i don't want drones crisscrossing our cities and our country snooping on americans. and that's the surveillance state that i'm very concerned about. and that's what our bill would stop. >> this military drone that crashed in sals bury, maryland,
9:17 am
the aclu is also concerned it could crash in a neighborhood and hurt people. is that a concern to you too? >> i don't know the safety profile of how good they are. but they do crash occasionally. this one crashed. and we also lost the one in iran. so i think there is some danger. but i'm not against technology per se. what i am for are the constitutional processes that protect our civil liberties. so, you know, it's not like i'm against the police using cars or against them using airplanes or helicopters or robots. but i am for personal privacy for saying that no policeman will ever do this without asking a judge for permission. that was the recent case where the police were tagging gps tags on your car without a warrant. the supreme court was very clear on this. struck it down 9-0. so i feel comfortable that conservatives and liberals on the supreme court are concerned about privacy and technology's ability to invade our privacy. so i am very, very concerned about this, and i think this is
9:18 am
a very serious bill. and we'll push forward and i'm going to talk to senator reid and senator mcconnell about allowing a vote on it. >> do you have the same types of concerns about military drones being used in other countries or does your bill just specifically deal with drones flying over the united states? >> this would only be domestic. >> do you have concerns about the use of military drones in other countries? >> i am concerned about one person deciding the life or death of not only foreigners but u.s. citizens around the world. and the chance that one person could make a mistake, you know, is a possibility. so having the president decide who he's going to kill concerns me. i would rather it go through a court, and there are actually secret courts, the fisa court investigates intelligence information. and most of these decisions aren't made like this. they make the decision over weeks and months. they target people and go after them. i see no reason why there shouldn't be some sort of court preceding, even if it's secret,
9:19 am
to allow some protection. even in the united states where we have the best due process probably in the world, we have probably executed people wrongfully for the death penalty. they have found out through dna testing, many people there on death row are there inaccurately. and even republicans have pulled back their beliefs some on death penalty. so i think when we decide to kill someone, that's obviously the ultimate punishment. we need to be very, very certain that what we're doing is not in error. >> senator paul, thank you so much for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. it's the new incivility, loud public cursing, f-bombs galore. one massachusetts town is speaking out. >> this is not freedom of speech. we're talking about verbally assaulting everybody who is out there. and if you're heading out the door, don't forget you can take us with you. watch us anytime on your mobile or computer. just head to cnn.com/tv.

good morning to you. i'm carol costello. stories we're watching right now in the newsroom, opening bell on wall street just about to ring after a day of selloffs. stocks are padroised to open a higher today, but likely to be up and down as investors keep a close eye on europe. ringing the bell this morning, the ceo of pembinna pipeline corporation. secretary bryson is on medical leave after police found him unconscious behind the wheel.
9:29 am
it is said he suffered a seizure. he will undergo tests and evaluations. to florida, the stand your ground task force is holding its first public meeting right now. if you remember, george zimmerman cited that law when he killed trayvon martin, an unarmed teenager, in february. the task force is reviewing the law. martin's parents are expected to testify. imagine, you're at home and suddenly police show up out of the blue after getting a 911 call like this one. >> i just shot my wife, so -- >> you just shot your wife? >> i don't think i can come down there. >> where's your wife at now? >> she's dead now. >> you just shot your wife and she's dead and you don't know where she's located at? >> well, i know where she's located. >> where is she located at? what's your phone number, sir? >> i don't know. i guess you're going to have to find out.
9:30 am
i'm going to shoot someone else soon. >> that sounds chilling. sounds real. but it actually was a fake call to 911. the prank is called s.w.a.t.ing, it's meant to get the s.w.a.t. team to respond to a certain address. in case, the target was cnn contributor and editor-in-chief of red state.com's eric ericson. good morning, eric. >> good morning. >> you have talked about this. and you have been talking about this. now you're releasing the actual 911 tape. you posted it on your blog. it's just -- listening to it, it's just chilling. >> you know, i was really fortunate when the police showed up in the driveway, they were very professional. in fact, the police officer recognized me from cnn and as my kids came bounding out of the house, he pretty much suspected that it was not what it purported to be. and he told me it was an accidental shooting. it was only when i heard the 911
9:31 am
call that i realized it was much more than that. and the other police officer came up the hill with his hand on the gun as my 3-year-old is dancing around in the front yard excited at the blue lights, it finally sunk in this could have been a lot worse. >> who do you suppose is doing this? >> no one really knows. there are all sorts of suspects out there. there's why so many members of congress have asked the fbi to look into it. it is definitely happening in new jersey and california. it's happening here. it started off as a prank in the gamer community. and now suddenly conservative activists have been targeted. all of us kind of fitting the same fact pattern, writing about the same topics, and then suddenly this happens. >> so you think this is an orchestrated effort against conservative bloggers? >> it appears so. and on one topic in particular, a left wing activist we have been focusing on, no one thinks it's this person, but it seems like someone doesn't want us writing on this topic. and it all kind of happens. the three people, myself
9:32 am
included, and now a fourth person who had a similar situation happening with him, although police didn't show up at his house. all of us focusing on this topic, and then this happens. it just seems like someone is either trying to scare people, intimidate people, or punish people for covering particular political topics. >> well, what specific topic are you talking about? >> well, back in the early 1980s, there was a man in indiana who was arrested for being a bomber named brett kimberlin, who is now a left-wing activist gets a lot of money from left-wing organizations. and when the guy in new jersey, the guy in california, myself, and a now a fourth person have written about him all of us have been the subject of harassment. none of us think it's him. but seem seems to fit the same pattern. we write about this person, particularly where the money comes from for his left-wing activist, and suddenly this happens. >> so 83 members of congress have sent a letter to u.s. attorney general eric holder.
9:33 am
they are all republicans. do you think the u.s. attorney general will investigate this? >> well, i think so. given the pattern of the crime. and it happened in new jersey, california, georgia. someone is doing this across interstate lines. and it appears to be happening over voice over i.p., means it's much more difficult for local authorities to trace a phone call that originates from the internet. the federal authorities are the only people who have the capability of handling that. so i suspect they'll be interested. i do know local prosecutors in my situation have also independently reached out and asked for help. >> er thank you for talking with us this morning. >> thank you. it's become an icon of daytime drama. >> i hate you! >> who hasn't heard of "general hospital"? it's been on television for 50 seasons. how have they done it? when so many other soap operas have died? we'll take you behind the scenes and get the secret to their success.

38 minutes past the hour. soap opras, they provide some of the biggest twists, turns, and plots for television shows. "general hospital" just one of those soaps. there are not many left on afternoon television, frankly. but "general hospital" is celebrating 50 seasons with 23 daytime emmy nominations. hln's "showbiz tonight" correspondent nischelle turner takes a look at the secret of its success. >> get out! >> just go about your day, man. >> get out!
9:38 am
>> a little comedy -- a little romance -- >> you took them both away from me! >> and a whole lot of drama. it's the classic recipe that's been cooking for nearly 50 years monday through friday afternoons on tv's "general hospital." >> the longevity of the show has been because of the characters written. and the fact that people really feel like they know us. and they want to spend their afternoon with us. >> finola hughes is a familiar face to longtime fans of "general hospital." she first showed up to the fictional town of port charles back in 1985. she left the soap scene for many years, but was lured back five months ago by the show's new executive producer, frank ballentini. >> he is on the side of the actors. he stays out here with us to make sure that everything is real and entertaining. and truthful. >> reporter: valintini himself
9:39 am
moved over from "one life to life" when that show ended in january. he has brought along some crossover characters, brought back in favorites, and added frae fresh faces, all part of his strategy to keep "general hospital" thriving with fans and appealing to a new audience. >> not only does it need to be entertaining, but it needs to be entertaining and part of everyone's life in 2012. so keeping the show contemporary in terms of music and the way it sounds, the way it feels, the way it looks, is something that's very important to me. >> reporter: the production schedule is demanding. in today's budget conscious climate, the cast and crew of 300 shoot about 80 pages of dialogue a day. compare to primetime dramas that shoot about 10. >> dead or alive, there's no evidence. >> reporter: there's little time for retakes, so the cast is ready to roll. >> there's no room for someone who cannot take the pace, the speed. you have to be on your game. >> reporter: "general hospital"

vet nancy lee gron has been on the cast for 16 seasons. one of her new things, twitter outreach. >> these are the most loyal fans on television ever. and they have been watching it generationally. >> reporter: the team attributes much of its success to its loyal fan base. as to the future of the soap, one of the show's youngest stars sums up the continued appeal of "general hospital" this way. >> i think that soaps deal with everyday issues. sometimes they are a little built up, you know, under extreme circumstances. but at the same time, if you talk to anyone, everyone has a soap opera story in their life and they can relate to it in some way. >> reporter: and don't we all love a little drama in our lives. >> absolutely. nischelle turner. you can watch the daytime emmys on saturday, june 23, on hln. some people just have a

9:44 am
we know him only as victim one. his accusations led to the criminal investigation that led to sandusky's arrest. and all 10 boys accused sandusky of molesting them over a span of 15 years. you better watch your mouth in middleborough, massachusetts. the town just passed a plan to make people with potty mouths pay $20 a pop if they are caught swearing. critics say people shouldn't be fined for constitutionally protected speech, even if that includes foul language. it took more than three decades, but a mother can finally have some peace. a coroner's inquest in australia, the fourth one, finally agreed with lindy chamberlain-creighton, who insisted all this time that a dingo wild dog had stolen and killed her 2-month-old baby. it happened during a family camping trip in australia in 1980. she was actually convicted of murder, though she was later -- that decision was later quashed. imagine surviving a snowstorm in the new zealand mountains by soaking up heat from natural hot springs and
9:45 am
sleeping in hammock tents. for nine days, that's what erik brown and erica clintworth did. they toughed it out the rain and the snow, rationing trail mix and lay lying in the warm water from the natural hot springs which likely saved their lives. >> it was pretty much the river ran through. the island was in the middle, and the main river in one side. the main river was a flood plain, where the hot water came out of. so we just had to dig away some of the rocks and make ourselves a little pool, and it was really nice and hot. nice clean water. just a great place to be stranded in a blizzard. >> and how long were you standing in that hot water each day? >> pretty much as soon as we got up, maybe around 9:00 or 10:00 we got in and got out. some days it was around 5:00 or 6:00 when it started to get dark. other days it wasn't until maybe
9:46 am
9:00 or 10:00. they were able to make it out on their own, but not before a hefty search and rescue was underway to find them. here's new zealand reporter jessica row. >> reporter: the rescue helicopter homes in on the spot where wisconsin couple alex brown and erica clintworth toughed out last week's big snowstorm by lying in natural hot pools. they reject criticism they were unprepared. >> we were in hoodies, just not the type of thing you want to be wearing and have when you're stuck in a mountain storm. but i think when i came down it, we were a lot more prepared than everybody thought. >> reporter: they were hiking when the bad weather hit. the snow came down thick and fast. and temperatures dropped as low as minus eight degrees. unable to cross the swollen river, they were stranded. they hunkered down keeping warm by sleeping in a hammock tent like this and spending hour after hour lying in the natural hot springs. >> clearly, we were pretty

comfortable where we were and survived it, no problem. we had all the right gear to get through it. and have clean fresh water. and stay warm and dry. >> reporter: it was not until yesterday that river levels dropped low enough for them to safely cross and walk out of the bush by themselves. west coast search and rescue coordinator sergeant sean judd says it could have been avoided if they had been properly prepared for the forecast. >> it is frustrating. there's a lot of work gone into this operation. taxpayer dollars, the use of a helicopter. and obviously, you know, the search and rescue volunteers that we use. a lot of time has been used up over the weekend. and perhaps needlessly. >> the couple spent last night there and are expected back in christchurch this evening. your talk back question of the day. how do we restore civility in america? facebook.com/carolcnn. i'll have your responses on the

9:52 am
9:54 am
9:55 am
follow. let's bring in orioles vice president of planning and development janet marie smith and orioles center fielder adam jones. welcome to both of you. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> adam, i'm so excited to be talking with you. tell me what it's like to play in center field at camden yards? >> to be honest, it's one of the most beautiful ballparks in the league. a lot of guys come around the league and they say you play in one of the best ballparks. i love coming. there i love hitting there. it's a great place to hit. every time we come back from the road trip, i always walk all the way down to the tunnel, to the dugout just to see if the ballpark is still there. i like seeing it even with the lights shut off. it's an honor to play in such a ballpark that has such history to it. >> i must say it is gorgeous. i remember, janet, being there when camden yards opened 20 years ago. i think i covered it for one of the baltimore television
9:56 am
stations. at the time it seemed so new and exciting. now people say it's getting a little old and crusty. what do you say? >> i think the challenge for us is to make sure it doesn't get old and crusty, but rather that the patina of time is good to it. we've been fortunate that the maryland stadium authority has taken such good care of it. and our owner is always looking for ways to bring fans in, do new things like the roof deck we're sitting on now. keep it upgraded, stay true to our origin which is to be an old-fashioned park in the middle of downtown. >> so many other cities have copied the camden yards model. cleveland, texas, pittsburgh, san francisco, detroit, a host of others. adam, when you play in those ballparks, is it sort of playing at home? >> no. it's nothing like playing here in camden. we were talking before there's a lot of great ballparks out there. but they don't offer, you know what this ballpark offers.
9:57 am
you know, seattle is one of the most beautiful ballparks to me also, but it's a graveyard. you know, it's very -- you go inside, it's incredible. but it's still a graveyard. so the thing to hitters, this place is a graveyard, but you come to camden, it's real nice, and you can be rewarded if you hit the ball sometimes not as great as you hoped but it still flies here. >> adam jones, thanks. you're having a terrific season. >> i'm trying. >> the orioles are on the comeback trail, that's cool. keep it up. janet marie smith, thanks to you, too. i think he's going to be in the all-star game. >> i think he's going to be, too. >> having a great season. hi jeff, fischel. >> how'dy. >> you're talking what? >> the kings. growing up in l.a. it was rough being a kings fan.
9:58 am
finally they have done it they were like the last team in the playoffs. the first period hit by steve bernier on sk ushcuderi, and th kings capitalize three times. like this one, lewis with the goal. the kings win 6-1. take the series 4-2. kings goalie jonathan quick named mvp. the kings are stanley cup champs, can't believe i'm saying it, for the first time in the history of the franchise. 44 years in the making. other 14-year-olds may be hanging out at the pool, and dru jiang will be playing in the u.s. open. he was born in china, now lives

10:00 am
rounds of tear gas, they walk away empty-handed. and researchers say the rhythm of your typing is as unique as your fingerprint. now the department of defense is paying big bucks to find out if that can help secure government computers. we start with this. right now on capitol hill, the nation's top law enforcement official is getting ready to face tough questions. here are the two biggest issues for eric holder. the bungled fast and fourious gn smuggling sting this one day after a panel will vote on if holder is in contempt of congress. and the fbi is investigating whether the white house is to blame for secrets being made public. dana bash is on capitol hill. dana, let's start with fast and furious. >> sure. this, overall, is a case of bad timing for eric holder.
10:01 am
this happens to be a regular oversight hearing, but as you laid out very well there are a ton of issues that are in the crosshairs on fast and furious. yes, it is the house side and the house republicans over there who are threatening to hold eric holder in contempt, but members of the senate, specifically this committee he will testify for who are angry. namely charles grassley, he's one of those who feels lied to by the justice department. they wrote him a letter more than a year ago saying that they try to intercept these weapons, and that's the core at what they're look at with fast and furious. on that issue alone, we will see fireworks. let's move on to the next issue, this leaking of classified information. will we learn anything new?
10:02 am
>> unclear how much we will learn new with regard to the leaks. as you know, late last week eric holder formally announced two u.s. attorneys are looking into this as senators call it, this cascade of leaks that they say has hurt national security and threatened peoples lives. there are, again, bad timing perhaps for eric holder, senators on this committee in both parties who are angry about it. some, for example, lindsey graham of south carolina who says what holder has done is not enough. that there should be independent council. so i think we're likely to hear him pressed on why not have somebody from outside the justice department come in and look at these leaks and the impact on national security. >> we'll check back with you, dana bash. they have been used to track down and kill terrorists in lands far away, but rand paul says our own government is using drones to spy on us. he wants that to stop.
10:03 am
the government says they only use drones here to stop criminal activity. the governor says no warrant, no spying. >> anything that would require a warrant, it would have to have a warrant. i'm concerned about arming drones, but i don't want to say i'm arguing against technology. if there's a bomb in a car, i'm happy we have automated robots that can go into the car and investigate the bomb and we don't have to risk a human. same with drones, that's one thing. arming drones sends up pictures to the military. and i don't think domestically armed drones are a good idea. drones could be used if you have a proper warrant, but that means you go through a judge, a judge has to say there's probable cause of a crime. but i don't want drones crisscrossing our cities and country snooping on americans. >> the senator plans to introduce a bill to ban the use of domestic drones today. a legal fight is brewing
10:04 am
between the federal government and florida over the state's efforts to remove more than 100,000 people from voter roles. the justice department claims the personal violates voting laws. the florida governor said he is merely interrogatiprotecting th of elections. >> if there is credible evidence that somebody is registered to vote who is not, they get sent a letter, they have 30 days to respond. if they don't respond then, then there is a letter sent to the papers. we want all u.s. citizens to vote. we don't want non-u.s. citizens to vote. >> scott says florida will file its own lawsuit demanding the department of homeland security share its database to determine who is a legal u.s. citizen and who is not.
10:05 am
we are expecting a live news conference next hour on a manhunt for a triple murder suspect in alabama. police thought they had picked up the trail of the 22-year-old when they converged on that house there in montgomery. after six hours and a round of tear gas, they abruptly left the scene without desmonte leonard, the man accused of opening fire at a weekend pool party. david mattingly is following the latest developments. so no guy in the house. do they have any idea where the guy might be? >> when they have the press conference the next hour, they have some explaining to do. they abruptly left the scene last night after being there for hours. they pumped the house full of tear gas. they said they had thermal imaging that indicated somebody might be there. they said they heard possibly some movement or coughing in that house. so they were very sure that suspect was in there. they got a 911 call from someone in montgomery saying that man is
10:06 am
in that house that is my house. he is sitting on my couch. >> who was that person? did the suspect know her? >> they have not identified publicly the woman who made that 911 call, but authorities in mo montgomery last night say they are questioning that woman. no word on whether the story changed and that's why they left. they left about 3:00 in the morning eastern time after being there for hours and pumping up expectations that they would find someone and make an arrest there, they left. now we're waiting to hear in the next hour from auburn police exactly where this manhunt stands. because desmonte leonard is a dangerous guy. just 22 years old, he opened fire at this party. shot six people, killed three of them. >> david mattingly, thank you very much. prosecutors are calling it the most extreme case of harboring a fugitive and they want to send katherine greg to
10:07 am
prison for the next ten years. greg is the girlfriend of reputed boston mob boss whitey bulger. greg is in federal court right now awaiting sentencing. fbi agents captured the couple last june after they had been on the run for 16 years. prosecutors say greg not only hid bulger's hid but hid the fact that he filled their apartment with an arsenal of weapons. bulger will go on trial in november. as the sun comes up this morning in colorado, firefighters are hoping they will gain control of a fast-moving deadly wildfire. since saturday, 64 square miles have burned. for the thousands evacuated, it's an agonizing feeling of helplessness. >> we brought the few things that are important to us, some works of art done by friends. some things that we're emotionally attached to. other than that, we are just
10:08 am
really -- we trust these guys. we know all these firefighters in our area. >> meteorologist alexandra steele is here saying the weather is the big concern right now. >> containment is weather contingent, no question about that. we actually learned now that saturday morning, early saturday morning, lightning ignited this fire. now it's claimed up to 43,000 acres. in this part of the country, this rugged terrain, ebbs and flows and shifts in the wind are common. yesterday for a brief period in the afternoon, a wind shift actually worked in its favor. what happened was the wind pushed the fire into itself as opposed to spreading it out. so, short-lived, albeit, it was certainly good news. it is 20 feet to 40 feet per
10:09 am
minute, about a half mile per hour it is certainly moving. containment, weather contingent. what's the ultimate? cooler temperatures, calmer winds and higher humidity. what we'll see is not that. warmer temperatures. yesterday we saw a cold front move through. temperatures on the high side in the upper 60s to about 70. today 82, sunny skies. also the winds will be higher today. so temperatures are higher, wind gusts are higher gusting to about 30. humidity about 20% or less than that. 82 is about average. tomorrow the numbers get into the low 90s temperature-wise. that will be a problem. you think storms would be good, but you see that lightning actually set off this thing. the rain from it would be good, but the seriousness of thunderstorms wouldn't be. >> exactly. alexandra steele, thank you very much. in arizona voters are choosing the successor to gabby giffords congressional seat. the special election pits a
10:10 am
former giffords challenger on the right, you see him there, against a former giffords aide. ron barber was also critically wounded in last year's shooting rampage. giffords is campaigning for her former colleague. >> she is doing great. we've been here in tucson for a few days. going around. gabby has been thanking ron's supporters and volunteers. and motivating them to get out the vote here for the election. >> the race is considered too close to call. the winner will serve the remainder of gifford's term but face re-election in november. this is such a strange story. you know how you ate -- you always forget your password, right? an iowa state university professor wants to make passwords a thing of the past. he has a unique way of doing it. the way you type is as unique as

investigation as to who knew what about the allegations, past allegations against jerry sandusky. as you know, there is an ongoing investigation including into what penn state officials may have known about it and others as this investigation unfolded. and what we have learned, according to court documents now obtained by cnn, documents that were filed on monday afternoon, is makes reference to what appears to be a secret file that may have been maintained by penn state officials, in fact including two people who are now charged with perjury in the case. specifically gary shultz, a form vice president at penn state and was in charge of the police operations. he is charged with perjury as well as tim curly, the former athletic director. to the point this motion says that the attorney general's office of pennsylvania has
10:30 am
obtained a file relating to incidents involving jerry sandusky. it says the file was created, maintained and possessed by gary shultz. these documents, the motion goes on to state, involves information that is inconsistent with statements made by gary shultz to a grand jury, as well as curly. it also talks about computer data that has been received by the attorney general's office investigation as well, including e-mails between shultz, curly and others that involve -- that contradict their grand jury investigation about what they did or didn't know about jerry sandusky and what they might have done about it. so this is what we're learning now. again, blockbuster information about what appears to be a secret file of information that had not been turned over previously after being -- after the attorney general's office
10:31 am
