>> even when they lose, harris. >> i'm a chiefs fan. my filter is broken. >> hockey, i did not believe this and i went to a hockey game, i could not sit down and i could not stop yelling. >> hockey is awesome, i love it. all right, have a great weekend. here is "america reports." >> we added 250,000 jobs last month, but maga republicans in congress are threatening to undo all this progress by letting us "default on the debt" unless we agree to their demands. i think we have a lot of work to do and i'm doing a major press conference this afternoon. >> john: president biden touting the strength of the u.s. economy after 253,000 jobs were added in

april, but his remarks were quickly overshadowed, when he announced he would hold a major news conference this afternoon. >> sandra: actually is not happening. statement has since been clarified by the white house, saying there is no change to the president's schedule and there is no news conference. karl rove, doug, and jason will react to the puzzling comments, and where the heck is this american economy going from here. it has been quite a week. >> john: begin this friday with tensions, the justice department may be deciding on possible criminal charges for the president's son. the finish line in sight. >> sandra: and word could come in on any moment. this is "america reports."

refusal to lie low and plans to launch a legal defense fund. it could raise ethical questions over who is donating and whether they are trying to influence the president's policies. >> miranda devine, you've always got your ear to the ground on these issues and these matters. what are you hearing on tensions between the president's top aides and the legal team? >> hi, john and sandra. i think it's been going on for some time, ever since hunter biden got connected up with kevin morris, his friends call hunter's sugar brother, paid off $2.8 million in irs overdue taxes, also funding the 20,000 a month rent on his malibu house,

and i presume he was paying $20,000 a month to hunter's baby mama, london roberts in arkansas, and alimony he has to pay to his ex-wife kathleen, so a lot of money and hunter says that he's broke and for that reason he's beholden to kevin morris, hollywood entertainment lawyer, and take care of himself not worried about what the white house wants. there is pressure from the white house to quarantine joe biden from the influence peddling allegations looked into not just the republicans in the house but also in delaware, ongoing long running investigation run by david weiss, as we hear should be coming to fruition in the

next week or so. >> john: "the washinton post" reported he was close to making a decision to bring charges, and last year they said there is plenty there for charges but does not necessarily mean the doj is going to issue an indictment. >> it will exactly, and of course who is the boss of the doj, merrick garland, and who is his boss, joe biden. an awkward situation and what the white house has wanted for hunter to do is to take a plea deal and seems kevin morris and hunter himself don't want to take a plea deal, because hunter believes he's done nothing wrong. he believes it's a political witch hunt and he's not going to bow just to make things easier for his father in the white house. >> john: and what about this other issue swirling around joe

biden, that there is a document in the fbi possession which would indicate there was a criminal investigation, possible criminal wrongdoing on the part of the president involving bribes from a foreign official. >> yes, look, what we do know from that is that it's not china. this is something that both senator grassley and house oversight committee chairman james comer have taken care of. the whistleblower has come forward to say that this confidential human source report was made by the fbi and was it buried because it does not appear anything came of it, and so all comer and grassley are asking director wray to do of the fbi, to show them the document, tell them whether or not the fbi investigated it because if they didn't, this would be about the fourth or fifth situation within the fbi

where there's been a cover-up on behalf of joe biden. and this is to do with the influence peddling scheme in some other country other than china, there were many of them. chiefly ukraine, i would say, but also russia, kazakhstan, romania, you name it. millions of dollars that came through to the biden family coffers. what makes this particular allegation different and stronger is that it involves joe biden himself, the allegation is that there was a bribery in return for some sort of policy decision. >> john: and james comer is teasing he knows the country and knows what the policy decision was, but still playing his cards close to his vest, maybe in the next few days we'll find out more. miranda, thank you for kicking us off on this friday. >> thank you.

>> justice! what do we want now? if we don't get it. shut it down. >> sandra: protestors taking to the streets for two straight days dede -- demanding charges in the death of jordan neely, a retired marine put him in a chokehold after he was behaving and making threats. laura, we hear there are new developments. what are we learning? >> a couple of big ones to share with you. fox news source is telling us that this case is expected now to go to a grand jury next week and that will determine whether criminal charges will be filed, and there's one key issue here at play. what was the former marine's mindset during the deadly struggle, will help determine what, if any, charges were filed. the former marine has lawyered

up also choosing manhattan district attorney alvin bragg's rival, he ran against bragg for the race for the manhattan d.a. in 2021. the chokehold video continues to draw questions about what happened leading up to the moment the 24-year-old former marine held neely down on the ground by his neck. a witness said he was screaming and threatening passengers. one former assistant d.a. spoke with fox about possible charges this former marine could face. >> i would be worried that he could be charged with manslaughter charges or criminally negligent homicide charges. >> why? >> because there is a video of him holding neely, holding him, using what lawyers call deadly physical force. >> and here are those protests.

protestors marching last night from barclay center in brooklyn to lower manhattan, shutting down parts of the manhattan bridge, spray painting the street with justice for jordan and clashing with police and reject eric adams. they are angry at the mayor for not calling the death a murder. >> i have faith in the criminal justice system and i'm going to let the process take its place and those who believe that i should do something differently, i respect that. >> and listen, this investigation is still going on by the manhattan d.a., and p.d., they hope more witnesses will come forward that were on the subway car, in the area on the platform, the latest as we get it. >> sandra: thank you, laura. john. >> john: big announcement out of the cdc, announcing dr. walensky is stepping down as director the end of june. the white house commended

walensky for steadfast and unwavering focus during the pandemic. the world health organization says the global health crisis associated with covid is over. between 7 and 20 million people died as a result of the virus. director general warned countries that even though the pandemic emergency is over, covid is still a threat and is here to stay. as so many of us believed from the beginning they don't just miraculously go away, there is something you have to learn to live with and are still doing that to this day. >> sandra: and all around the world and so many good-byes to dr. walensky, and dr. saphier says i hope you will focus on efforts to advance science for the betterment of public health with less political influence. >> john: certainly a lot of criticism during her tenure at the cdc. >> sandra: indeed.

title 42 set to expire less than a week from today, as as mayork tours the border, 8400 migrant encounters in the last 24 hours. the pictures we have been seeing out of there are just incredible. has secretary mayorkas arrived there yet, what have you seen so far? >> well, that's a great question, sandra. and we expect secretary mayorkas to get here at any moment, and more than 2,000 came right here at camp monument in brownsville where we are standing. let me take you to the sky flight drone team and you can see how well they have organized things, you are looking at all migrants, 90% venezuelan, but the cbp and border patrol have

organized it and streamlined so they can encounter and transport out the migrants in a fast and orderly way. and that's why secretary mayorkas wants to see the preparations. as you look at the images, understand title 42 is still intact, it's not until next thursday it will lift. some exclusive video we shot with the drone before the sun came up. thermal image, the bottom of the screen is the u.s., and mexico at the top, and migrants crossing in the dead of night. every group is 2, 300 large, and come 24/7. border wide, more than 32,000 migrants. averaging 8,000 plus, and officials think it could table once title 42 lifts. we sent the team to mexico, and learning from the sources in the

southern part of mexico where mexico has a border with guatemala, they are not doing anything to stem the tide. more than 15,000 temporary visas who transit all the way north to mexico to the southern border, that is part of the problem. i want to take you, sandra, out to el paso, we have also seen dramatic footage. congressman tony gonzalez giving fox news a break in the razor wire there, two miles from the downtown part of el paso. you see migrants walking through the gate including unabated, no one stopping them. however, the administration is deporting and expelling migrants. we shot footage, sent the team to the airport in harlingan, texas, migrants going on to the airplane, 133 from guatemala who illegally crossed deemed to be

expelled under title 8 or title 42, going back to guatemala. the administration hoping to send a signal if you come you will be sent home. and what we may hear from secretary mayorkas we hope will hold a press conference and learn from him exactly what the numbers might be when title 42 lifts. one thing for sure, though, they are trying to get ready, they have been surging resources all week that we have been here and the agents i've been talking to, a high morale to be ready for what is coming. the storm is already arriving. >> sandra: a lot for all to deal with, the border patrol agents, communities on the ground, resources are tied up. thanks for your reporting on the ground, griff. >> john: effects of that spread far and wide. fox news exclusive. new video showing the migrant crisis so bad in chicago that

families are sleeping on the ground in police stations all across the city. mayor lori lightfoot saying the sanctuary city is all tapped out and yet the remarkable statement from the press secretary that illegal migration is down 90%. >> sandra: she had quite an exchange with peter doocy and accused him of dramatics, it is quite wrong. what we are seeing at the border is a surge, and not just border town problems, john, to your point. look what's happening in chicago and the outgoing mayor seeing this happening and they cannot deal with it, cannot take it anymore and lori lightfoot is calling on the feds to step in with federal resources to help out. but that is a sanctuary city, john. >> john: it is, and people are attracted to come there or bussed there by governors in the

south say look, you are a sanctuary city so do what your belief is and the city is overwhelmed. it's happening in new york and other cities, and imagine with the cities actually on the border, going through. and i know peter very well. he is anything but dramatic. >> sandra: it was a plain and simple question. it was a plain and simple question. a challenge on her statement. all right. we'll be watching for more reaction to all of that, john. meanwhile, the count down to 2024 is intensifying. we are now learning florida governor ron desantis could announce his bid as early as next week. what all that means for the playing field. >> john: the april jobs report is out. some say the numbers are headed in the right direction, experts warn they are not as strong as they may look. when you look behind the main announcement, a lot of detail there and karl rove is here to

break it down coming up next. >> big story here, it's not a strong jobs number, it turns out the two prior months were revised lower by a substantial amount. this is iowa. we just haven't been properly introduced. say hello to the place where rolling hills meets low bills. where our fields, inside and out, are always growing. and where the fun is just getting started. this is iowa. so, when are you coming to see us? ♪ veteran homeowners making a big car payment every month? car loans can be expensive and the payments high. consolidate that car loan into a newday home loan and save hundreds every month. i brought in ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks.

>> john: lawyers for advice colu columnist carroll resting, the defense has also rested, and the former president said he will not take the stand in his own defense, the judge is giving him until 5:00 on sunday afternoon to change his mind. otherwise the trial will move into closing arguments on monday. and then turned over to the jury. carroll is suing trump, she claims he raped her in a

manhattan department store in the mid 1990s. the former president has denied the allegations. sandra. >> i'm doing a major press conference this afternoon, so i love y'all but i would like to ask you to leave so we can get down to business. >> sandra: all right, well, another biden gaffe, happened a short time ago. in the clip he stated he is going to be holding a major news conference today, only problem is, there wasn't one scheduled. white house officials saying the president misspoke. all this as the april jobs report released shows the u.s. added 253,000 jobs in the unemployment rate lowered to 3.4%. revisions to february and this is really important, february and march show 149,000 fewer jobs were created than was previously reported. let's bring in karl rove, former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor. karl, that is important, the revisions do count. so the jobs picture was not as good as one thought back in

february and march. what's your take away before i ask you the president's nonnews conference in a minute. >> you are right. net number is 104,000, the 253 up and the 104 is well below the last six month average of 290,000 on average created each month. what does it mean? mean the economy is slowing? are we going to have a soft landing, are the increase in interest rates by the federal reserve finally slowing down the economy, it looks like it but one month does not tell the tale. in february and march things were going good, but now look more shaky than we thought at the time. >> sandra: interesting and important notes from edward lawrence, he's noting the revisions is the softening the

fed wants to see. shows the interest rate hikes are dampening the economy, karl. the big question, have they gone too far. we will not see the effects of the interest rate hikes for quite some time. economy has added back all the overall jobs lost in the pandemic, since february 2020, and created 3.3 million jobs. we can celebrate that fact. however, that headline unemployment, 3.4%, he notes it's because the number of unemployed was down 182,000 and then the number of people who dropped out of the labor force rose by 214,000, the labor force he notes actually shrank, not a good thing. >> unbundle those. you are absolutely right. we can celebrate getting back to where we were in march of 2020. but think about that, it's taken us three years to get there. the and is that a good -- is

that a good performance, could the economy be growing at a stronger rate, and many say it would be if we were not spending so much money. and lowered the number of people in society interested in working. it's not good for the economy, not good for prosperity or for the people of america to give up on the workforce and drop out. people are -- people who are working create value and economic growth and help broaden prosperity for all americans and for us to have a workforce that's flat is a problem. >> sandra: very interesting note. the actual report out from the labor department does not say why the labor force is shrinking, but the numbers do note that it is. i want to bring up, by the way, and the markets by the way, karl, up 420 -- up. what i am hearing this morning is that is because this is being

interpreted as a weak jobs report as larry kudlow said, that then the translation is perhaps the fed will step back from its interest rate hikes. maybe they'll back off and that's the market prediction right there. i want to ask you, though, about what just happened at the white house with the president because we all stopped in our tracks, listening and the president said he was going to be holding a major news conference later today, we checked the white house schedule, it was not on the schedule. the white house came out and said no, no, no change to the schedule, i guess he will give an interview, but not a conference. and he has not held a solo news conference yet this year. what happened there? >> it's age showing again. like ireland, confused where he was, what he was supposed to be doing, had been to be prompted by his son and the white house is in full clean-up on aisle three promising a major news conference when they have no

intention of holding one. a reason why biden has not held a major news conference since the beginning of the year, he's not up to it. and this is the first foreign trip he made to ireland that i can remember in my lifetime that a president has not held a formal news conference with the host country leader in which they take questions from both the host country press and the u.s. press corps travelling with the president. he's not up to that. if he's not up to that, is he up to the job of being president of the united states, and unfortunately, the answer to the question is no he's not and his age is showing and yet he is still saying i'm going to run for a second term, age of 82, hoping to run to age 86. >> sandra: moments of concern, what if he misspoke on something else triggered an actual reaction we would have to deal with. last question, final question, karl, on desantis jumming in the

race, field appears to be growing, 2024 declared gop candidates, donald trump, hutchinson, haley, and the rest, and potentially desantis next week. >> it's a major candidacy if desantis gets in. interesting to see what his message is. this is a moment where a lot of people, all though know about him, the governor of a successful state who won a big election and florida looks like a great place to live. big advantage for him but he has to build on it and show people what it is he wants to do, how he will build on the success in florida and make the country more prosperous and safe and move it forward. a big day, the question, will he raise up to it, i think he will. we'll see, and what's interesting to me, how much the expectations have been dampened down. if i were donald trump, building expectations up.

instead, he's been attacking desantis and florida, raise expectations, don't lower them. >> sandra: very interesting. great to have you on this friday afternoon. john, going back to the moment a few moments ago, we were getting ready for the show and the president was holding the meeting at the white house and said i'm not going to answer your questions now because i have a major news conference this afternoon, we all went back to the white house schedule and they said no, there was not one planned, that was not the case and the president misspoke. >> john: some folks tell you a news conference versus an interview, but when the president, announces a press conference it's like a canon has gone off among the press corps and everybody starts scrambling to get to where they need to be, and then when the white house says oh, no, no, he did not even misspeak, no change to the schedule. it does cause a lot of

consternation and maybe in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal but the folks covering him it is. i remember being in davos and president trump said holding a press conference, and oh, no, how we get there. >> sandra: scramble the jets. >> john: secretary mayorkas set to speak at the border. 1500 troops are headed to the border as the largest surge of migrants to date is expected. congressman tony gonzalez says 1500 troops along the border not enough. he's up next. >> sandra: the excitement is growing for the big coronation happening tomorrow. royal watchers camping out to get an up close look on the big day. and let me tell you, they camp out for days to get a glimpse of the royals. we all know king charles and queen camilla will be there, but the bigger story who is not there. live at buckingham palace next.

>> john: six days from now, title 42 ends, and in about an hour's time, homeland security secretary mayorkas will be at the border talking about operations ahead of the policy's expiration, as we are getting exclusive new video of migrants coming into the country illegally through a hole in the fence. tony gonzalez sits on the house appropriation committee, he is calling on the white house to send more immigration judges to the border. they will send 1500 military for

transportation and administrative jobs, you say that's the wrong thing to do. we need for judges to clear the backlog of cases, now stands at more than 2 million. >> yeah, john, thank you for having me. it is the wrong approach. crisis goes away by enforcing the laws on the books and instead of waiting years for a person to get the case heard, it needs to be days and you do that by surging immigration judges to the border. right now, nine out of ten illegal migrants do not qualify for asylum. i was just in el paso, there is a plethora of migrants there. the city is completely overwhelmed, it's a dire situation, and every administration prior to the biden administration has had to do this. president trump did it with the pacer program, president obama had to do it as well this. is not a new concept. this is how you solve the border crisis. >> john: call four number three since we are on this topic. you mentioned the amount of

time. 762 days for asylum claim to be adjudicated. in 2013, 562 days. so, it's always been bad. but each and every one of those migrants that has their sights on the border, congressman, knows if they manage to get released into the united states, they are going to be here for at least two and a half years. >> the reality is they'll be here indefinitely. and unfortunately, they are going to have to live in the shadows during their time that they are here. it's the wrong approach. once you have the court cases heard in days not years, all of a sudden everybody behind them stops coming. so you stop the immediate influx of illegal aliens coming over. going back to my time in el paso, i'm on the border, i'm seeing the makeshift camps. you could have blindfolded me and sworn i was back in del rio

a year and a half ago when fox did so well covering the thousands of haitians under the bridge. the same is happening in el paso. we have to enforce the laws on the books as well as congress needs to find a legal path where people can come over. i think that's through work visa, not the fake asylum claims we know are not going to get adjudicated or return. >> john: before you came on today, your office supplied a video of migrants coming through a hole in the fence. >> almost shocking. hundreds in the makeshift camp and you can see they had built a trail and this is the u.s.-mexico border and they are going back and forth with impunity, and there is a gas station on the mexican side and folks were getting ice and food, but it highlights the lawlessness and how unsecure the border is, and border patrol

agents were elsewhere, another part of the city was the church, and fox has done a good job of covering the church. i did that as well, and the police officers said tony, don't go there. there is mumps, measels, covid, bedbugs, there's all these diseases that are there, don't go there. i worry about what about the americans that live in el paso, it's a beautiful city. what about us that are doing the things that are right. >> john: and show the drone footage in brownsville where griff jenkins has been all week, where you see a line of migrants there at a customs and border protection station. looks like a border crossing in san ysidro or hidalgo where day workers come across the border and then return at night, but these are illegal migrants who have crossed into the country illegally, i mean this looks

like an orderly process. but the biden administration repeats over and over the border is closed because clearly it's not. >> it is no, and robert, we have to make sure it does not become normal. griff has done a good job highlighting, the border patrol morale is high, they want to push back the lawlessness but there is a role to play and congress in particular, i'm very proud, worked hard on the house side to get some of my initiatives in. you are going to see next week house republicans are going to roll out a border security package that has some of my initiatives in it, more pay to border patrol agents, more resources to sheriffs and deputies doing the work and also takes us down the path of labelling cartels as terrorist organizations. you want to get to the root of the issue? the cartels are trying to ma i can this normal. there is nothing normal about the chaos that's happening on the border. >> john: we mentioned the numbers, more than 2 million people in the backlog. numbers, its like the debt.

it's so high now you are never going to actually -- never going to get rid of it, you have to deal with it somehow. congressman, good to talk to you. we'll see what happens just eight days now until title 42 comes off. appreciate your time. thank you. >> sandra: buckingham palace making it's final preparations for a ceremony and celebration decades in the making. the coronation of king charles iii. greg palkot is live outside buckingham palace for us on a beautiful day, greg. so, what is the mood there? >> beautiful. i would say the anticipation is growing, sandra. some people have been waiting for about 70 years for this one, king charles iii and his son prince william and princess kate working the room at buckingham palace, 74-year-old king acting like he's been doing it for a while, which he has, assisting his mother, late queen elizabeth. earlier in the day the king was at westminster abbey, it's still

filled with ritual of 1,000 years. a close-up view of the king and his fans, take a look and listen. >> king charles, doing a bit of a walk about with the people nearby buckingham palace. the folks are happy and looking forward to the big day, coronation day tomorrow. they are cheering him on. >> you love it? >> i love it. fun to be a part of it. >> moment in history, i wanted to be a part of. >> we are here for the coronation, once in a lifetime event. >> we know that the u.s. first lady, dr. jill biden, is here. she arrived earlier, and met with the wife of the u.k. prime minister and we think prince harry is here but he will be attending without his wife meghan and maybe without a bit of the drama. back to you. >> sandra: all looking to enjoy the day. greg palkot, thank you very much. and do not miss our special

coverage of the core operation of king charles and camilla, five eastern time, and next hour martha and christopher anderson will join us live from london from their view. >> john: newly released bodycam footage showing the idaho murder suspect bryan kohberger pulled over in washington a month before. why was he pulled over and more coming up. >> sandra: another u.s. bank in trouble. will the rate hike lead to more bank struggles? what does this mean for you and your money? this is going to be great. taking the shawl off. ok i did it. is he looking at my hairline? is plaque psoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla is a pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis

>> the banking system is safe and sound. >> we have the tools necessary to keep our banking system safe and protect depositors. the president wants to make sure we keep taxpayers safe. >> u.s. banking system is sound and resilient. learning the right lessons from the episode and work to prevent it from happening again. >> sandra: pushing the narrative the banking system is safe, but pack west is considering a sale. econ panel, what does it mean for you and your money. ja jason and doug. i cut that short. people want to get to it. they want t know what it means. why is the president and the vice president and kjp, why are they insisting the banking system is safe when clearly

there are some banks out there that are struggling. >> look, for a policy maker it's a difficult balancing act. you don't want to convey panic, you don't want a false sense of reassurance. if you are watching the show and you have less than $250,000, your money is insured, you are getting it. more than 250,000, they will figure out a way to get every penny, but more needs to be done to bring stability to the system. >> sandra: doug, how do we do that? >> the key to make sure you use the tools designed to get banks in sound financial shape. people are conflating it with the fed to raise interest rates. today's labor report was sufficiently strong but when we look at the inflation report next week, the fed will conclude in june they have to raise

again. so accept that, inflation is too high, go over and find the banks that have the weakest balance sheets and if necessary, merge them or get ahead of the curve. >> sandra: conflating it? don't we have evidence, jason, the banks are getting caught backwards with the rising interest rate environment right now? >> yes, but the three barngs that have failed so far were badly managed. if you have a bank that can't survive a 5% feds fund rate which used to be a common interest rate in our economy, you've managed your bank badly. this, you know, i think the fed got behind the curve, it had to move quickly as a result of that, but i very much agree with doug, the fed's job with interest rates is to control inflation, that probably means more hikes are to come, and then they need to then use other tools to deal with the banks. >> sandra: i want to put this up

on the screen, i believe it was politico who did it earlier this week. with numbers, we are trying to spell out exactly what this means for people at home, and for most american families owning a home is the single largest asset they will ever own, doug. and this is what is happening now. they laid out that the average monthly mortgage payment for a typical u.s. home has grown by 50% since january 31, 2022. so, over the past year and a half, mortgage payments are up 50%. that's the line on your screen. if you put 20% down, that is incredible. and that is a real tangible thing people are feeling right now, doug. >> there's no question about that. and food prices are up 8.5% year over year rate. people are feeling that. the inflation is in the economy and once it's there the fed has no good choices. it either lets everyone suffer,

and no one liked it, or slow the growth and demand and fallout is high mortgage rates, fewer home sales, less home building, lower retail sales, in and of themselves bad news but are necessary measures and what i worry about is the drum beat of oh, my goodness, the banks, goodness, the mortgages, stop the fed from doing its job and stuck with high inflation and that's even worse. that's what i grew up with. stagflation and continued inflation, we have to get it back down to 2%. >> sandra: a painful environment, mostly for the working class, the very group the administration jason says they are out to help the most. no matter what they tell us, what people are feeling. polling revealing that people are concerned about the banking system. the white house says it's safe and sound, americans are very or moderately worried, 48% of them, about the safety of their money in banks. final thought from you, jason. >> look, first of all, i would

say your money is safe. if it's below 250,000, it's insured, no one even uninsured -- >> sandra: why don't they say that then. >> there are issues that we have economically, but as a family, you don't need to be concerned and by the way, there are challenges in the economy. i think they are really big, real if inflation is a problem. we also have 3.4% unemployment rate, a lot of jobs created. good things in the economy and challenging things in the economy. you want to think about all of them. >> sandra: well, we are, and we dug into that with karl at the top of the hour, the unemployment rate is reflective, a lot of more people pulling themselves out of the workforce. that's a problem, too. thank you both of you for joining us. appreciate it. john. >> john: fox news alert, the house oversight committee james comer says he has new documents that contradict the white house comments about the discovery of

classified documents, penn biden center, and in wilmington. comer is requesting the documents found stored in the penn biden center, as well as those in his wilmington home, questions about the timeline and why kathy chung was dispatched to box up documents much earlier than the existing timeline would suggest, it suggests that back on november 2, 2022, is when classified documents were first found at the penn biden center but the white house was talking with chung about packing up the center as far back as may. so he wants -- comer wants to look into the discrepancy and find out whether or not biden was exacting enough care when it comes to the storage of classified documents. phoenix police arresting a man they say murdered a 29-year-old hiker, zion teasley faces a

charge of murder, and we are learning more about his background. >> one law enforcement source tells us 22-year-old suspect zion teasley has a criminal background and he stabbed lauren heike multiple times and that led to her death. teasley faces a first-degree murder charge, he was arrested less than a mile away from the hiking trail where heike was killed. during his first court appearance, prosecutors reportedly said that teasley showed signs of premeditation. also say he had purchased a plane ticket to detroit and is a flight risk. police managed to arrest teasley just 48 hours after they put out this six second clip appearing to show the suspect running from the scene. lauren, just 29 years old, went out for a hike friday on a trail near her home. police believe teasley attacked

heike from behind, leaving her body in the desert. the family spoke about her saying she was a kind hearted person who was sweet to everyone around her. >> terrific. as hard as this is for us, we are grateful because we had such a beautiful child. >> she was my little girl. i'm going to miss her terribly. >> it's ok, honey. >> i just hope they can find whoever did this to her. >> records show the suspect was arrested back in 2020 for robbing a convenience store. he later took a plea deal admitting guilt to armed robbery and disorderly conduct. teasley was sentenced to three years in prison but released after 16 months. john. >> john: what a tragedy. jeff, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: lawmakers making a last ditch effort to handle the
