market is showing whether it is loosing up. for more news, download the app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm dan lieberman, cbs news, new york. this is the "cbs overnight news." we begin tonight with some breaking news, cbs news has learned that the fbi has gathered what it believes is enough evidence to support charging president biden's son hunter with crimes related to his taxes and a gun purchase. the fbi has sent the information to the u.s. attorney's office in delaware. an attorney for hunter biden hit back at the immigrations in a statement. chris clark said it is a federal felony for a federal agent to leak information about a grand jury investigation such as this
3:31 am
one. well, we have a lot of news to get to tonight, and cbs's catherine herridge will start us off. >> reporter: there is movement in the hunter biden criminal investigation with sources telling cbs the fbi believes it has sufficient evidence against the president's son. the years' long federal investigation into hunter biden's business practices began before joe biden was president and the fbi believes there is enough evidence to prosecute. that evidence was provided months ago to david weiss. he was appointed by president trump and has yet to bring charges. >> there's a difference between agents gathering evidence and a u.s. attorney making a prosecutorial decision, and i believe he will have free rein to make the decision. >> reporter: the source says they probed whether hunter biden, his uncle james violated
3:32 am
the law. a source close to the president's son said he paid off more than a million dollars in past due taxes. sources familiar with the probe told cbs news, investigators were also looking at allegations that hunter biden made false statements on a gun registration form and may have disposed of a gun improperly. >> it seems to be a fairly straightforward charge to prove and carry as significant penalty under federal law. >> reporter: a lawyer for hunter biden called the leak inherently biassed, one-sided and inaccurate, adding that prosecutors should notprre rushs not been briefed on the case. the president has consistently denied knowledge of his son's work. but congressional republicans say they will investigate if they take control of committees after the midterm elections.
3:33 am
tonight the justice department and u.s. attorney's office declined to comment on the status of the investigation. hunter biden's lawyer said the justice department should investigate the leak. now to growing fears about rising energy prices. the national average for a regular gallon of gas jumped four cents overnight after opec plus announced a big cut in oil production. cbs reports from california, which is already dealing with the highest prices in the nation. >> reporter: in california, it now costs nearly $100 to fill up a mid-sized car. >> it's ridiculous. >> reporter: nowhere more expensive than in the golden state, where prices have soared $1.15 in just the past month. the aaa reports big weekly hikes not just in the west but also the midwest and spreading east, all the way to the white house, where president biden is now confronting opec's $2 million
3:34 am
barrel a day cut back in production. >> disappointment, and we're looking at what alternatives we may have. >> reporter: with the midterms just a month away. what do these prices mean for those elections coming up? >> well, we've seen americans very frustrated with the high price of gasoline, feeling a bit claustrophobic. gas prices are a very high priority for your average american. >> reporter: drive down any street or highway. rising gas prices stare consumers directly in the face. california's price hike has little to do with opec. it has been caused by refinery shutdowns, the highest gas taxes in the nation and california's strict environmental laws which require special gas blends. what's staggering is how much more californians are paying than drivers in states like texas or georgia, now more than double. has the gap ever been this high in the country before?
3:35 am
>> we've never seen the gap between california and the rest of the country this high. >> reporter: and starting tomorrow here in california, the state will issue rebate checks to around 23 million people. it's part of a $9.5 billion deal to provide relief to drivers. jericka? >> and a lot of people looking for relief with the holidays around the corner. thank you, jonathan. tonight a suspect is in custody following a horrific stabbing rampage on the las vegas strip. it happened just before noon local time near the wynne and venetian resorts. witnesses said several victims appeared to be show girl hostage show girls who take pictures with guests. now a woman claims she is the mother of one of herschel
3:36 am
walker's children. here's nicole killion. >> reporter: in his first public campaign event since back-to-back bombshell reports by "the daily beast," herschel walker played defense. >> this here, the abortion thing is false. it's a lie. >> reporter: the heisman trophy winner and staunchly pro-life candidate doubled down after the outlet revealed a woman who alleged walker paid for her abortion in 2009 also had a child with him. >> if i knew about it, i would but i know nothing about that. >> reporter: according to the latest report, the woman said she came forward after walker's repeated denials. >> you have figured out who it is in. >> not at all. >> reporter: she told "the daily beast," i've been very civil thus far. i keep my mouth shut, but i'm also not going t time and time again, adding, he didn't accept responsibility for the kid we did have together and now he isn't accepting responsibility for the one that we didn't have. the woman previously provided
3:37 am
"the daily beast" with a receipt from an abortion clinic, a get well card and a copy of a $700 check signed by walker. >> everything has been a lie. >> reporter: after his son called him out on social media, walker told reporters he's not concerned. >> well, i'll always love him, no matter what my son says. i'm herschel walker, saved by grace. >> reporter: the senate hopeful has raised at least a half million dollars since the scandal broke with some voters unswayed. >> i believe herschel has made mistakes, but i truly believe he's changed as a person. >> and if he's proven to be wrong and he lied about it, then i'll be greatly dispaipted. i don't know that it will be disappointment enough to sway me to vote in the other direction. >> national gop lea h so rallied behind walker who is in a tight battle with rafael warnock. warnock said the election is about who is ready to represent georgia in the u.s. senate.

this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm nicole killion in washington, thank you for staying with us. since its founding in 1947, the central intelligence agency has been tasked with collecting information and keeping america's secrets safe. the agency has experienced great victories over the decades, along with some defeats, and much of that is cataloged and on display at cia head quarters outside of washington. the museum there is possibly the most top secret in all the world. but to mark the agency's 75th anniversary, the cia director
3:41 am
gave norah o'donnell a tour. >> reporter: the hope diamond, the spirit of st. louis, the u.s. constitution. they're just some of mesh's national treasures on display in washington, d.c. now add to that list this brick from osama bin laden's final hideout. the ak-47 found by his side. flight suits worn by clandestine surveillance pilots. >> there's the dead rat. >> reporter: and this taxi determinied rat used to hide messages during the cold war. they really put intelligence in a dead rat? >> that's the truth, yeah. >> reporter: these artifacts are among the hundreds on view at stral intelligence agency head quarters, on view that is only to those cleared to enter the high-security complex. >> this is the latest edition. >> reporter: such as cia
3:42 am
director william burns. do we still use spy cameras? >> we still use a lot of gadgetry like this but it's a lot more sophisticated. >> reporter: like james bond? >> yeah, james bond plus these days as well. >> reporter: gentlemen, they highlight the high tech side of spy craft, but the tro purpose is to inspire employees with stories like that of peterson who was recruited to work with a soviet informant, code named tri gone. >> marty happened to be the first female cia case officer to ser inform moscow to take advantage of a blind spot in the kgb. they tended to be very dismissive of the capacity of women to conduct intelligence operations. >> reporter: they didn't think a woman would and cia spy. >> they did not. so basically what trigone would do would use documents like
3:43 am
this, he'd put the film in a hollowed out brick or old milk cartons like this one and leave it in mutually-arranged dead drop and locations around moscow that marty would come and collect. >> reporter: eventually the kgb arres arrested tri gone, and he swallowed a cyanide pill. it's a lesson in the risks taken by cia agents and those who come to trust them. how important is the intelligence you get from human sources? >> well, collecting intelligence from human sources is a very important part of cia's mission. you know, our officers are working literally as we're sitting here to try to recruit foreign agents and to try to work with them to obtain intelligence that can directly help ensure the safety and security of american lives. i have a profound responsibility
3:44 am
to protect them. on the right side as i walk in every morning there is our memorial wall that has 139 stars on that simple marble, each one honoring a cia officer killed in the line of duty. there's not a moment when i walk by that wall when i'm not reminded of my obligation to take care of people, and that means presenting sources and methods. >> reporter: the past few months have been dominated by reports about the mishandling of human source intelligence by former president trump. he can't speak about what was found at mar-a-lago but made ch clear what's at stake. how damaging is it to the agency if sources are revealed or this human intelligence is compromised? >> without commenting on any particular investigation, i think there are lots of instances in the past where compromising, you know, that human intelligence, failing to protect it carefully, being reckless about it, has cost
3:45 am
lives. >> reporter: the cia museum does nod to such failures. assets killed through the treachery of turncoat spy aldridge ames in the 1980s and the bay of pigs fiasco as well as the 2003 assessment that finding weapons of mass destruction in iraq would be quote, a slam dunk. still, it's hard not to marvel at operations like project asorian, the 1970s salvage of a wrecked soviet submarine. >> now docked at long beach, california, a mystery ship that has emerged as the nerve center of a cia operation. >> reporter: the cia enlisted billionaire howard hughes to provide a cover story that his ship was searching for minerals on the ocean floor, rather than helping the cia harvest soviet military secrets. the press did find out about it, right? >> they did in 1975.
3:46 am
a year after the successful salvaging of a large section of the soviet submarine. the los angeles times broke the story. >> no comment. >> the ford administration for the first time used what became known as the glomar response, which is we can neither confirm nor deny. which you've heard a few times. >> reporter: now i've finally put it together. there's many times as reporters where we've asked questions and we get the "we can neither confirm nor deny". this is where it came from. one item has particular meaning. it features this model of a house in kabul, afghanistan, where the last surviving master mind of the 9/11 attacks was hiding. he gave the go ahead for the drone strike that would kill the terrorist leader. >> i was in new york city and
3:47 am
made a quiet visit to the ground zero memorial, and, you know, gives you an opportunity to reflect a little bit. in this case, a measure of justice that the zawahiri strike brought to victims and their families. and these seven stars are from our base. these are seven cia officers who lost their lives in the hunt for zawahiri 13 years ago in 2009. so for cia, that's not something that any of us have ever forgotten. >> reporter: to preserve the memories of the missions and the people who carry them out. that's the aim of this most unusual museum, dedicated to the unusual museum, dedicated to the secrets kept behind these walls. ♪♪ here goes nothing. hey greg.

about his overseas business dealings. >> reporter: the president has consistently denied knowledge of his son's work, but congressional republicans say they will investigate, if they take control of committees, after the midterm elections. tonight, the justice department and the u.s. attorney's office declined to comment on the status of the investigation. hunter biden's lawyer said in a statement, the justice department should investigate the leak. jericka. >> catherine, thank you. now to growing fears about rising energy prices. the national average for a gaed+ announced a big cut in oil production. cbs's jonathan vigliotti reports tonight from california, which is already dealing with the highest prices in the nation. >> reporter: in california, it now costs nearly $100 to fill up a mid-sized car. >> it's ridiculous. >> reporter: nowhere more expensive than in the golden state, where prices have soared
