we have live pictures out of ohio where police are expected to give an update on a sthoir that began unfolding after the weekend when a 13-year-old was found bound and gagged in a basement. her brother, mother and a family friend are still all missing. thomas robert joins us live with the latest. >> we only have information about the little girl involved in this. her name is sarah maynard. she's recovering in a hospital outside of columbus, ohio, after she was found inside the basement of a 30-year-old's home. his name is matthew hoffman. her mother tina herrmann, brother kody maynard and friend stephanie sprang were all missing. when police investigated the home they found blood but nobody was there. police have not revealed what led them to the home of matthew

hoffman. but hoffman, who is only 30 years old has a talenty and disturbing criminal history. he is a convicted arsonist. he set fire to an apartment complex in ohio. he was sentenced eight years and court records show he only paid back $5,000 towards that debt. in the current ohio neighborhood where sarah was found, neighbors describe him as a loaner and a weirdo in their words. neighbors report he would sit in a hammock in a yard and he would stare and listen to people's conversations. today police closed and started searching a lake in fountain park. this is a public park with a lake a few blocks from hoffman homes. neighbors report hoffman walked there daily. an officer patrolling the park found clothing he thought had blood in it. it tested negative for human blood. more charges are expected against hoffman. as for now he is charged with the kidnapping of sarah maynard.

she's listed in good condition, but we are still waiting to hear from police and envis gators to how they were able to find her and what happened to the three other missing people. >> we also understand there may be family members at this news conference. as soon as it starts we will certainly bring you the developments out of this story in ohio. now to the series of dramas unfolding on capitol hill as the lame duck congress returns. among the dramatic things, the ethics tripe of charlie rangel just elected to his 22nd term but kicked off with fireworks after he walked out shortly after the trial started. >> 50 years of public service is on the line. i truly believe that i'm not being treated fairly, and that history will dictate that knot withstanding the political calendar, i am entitled to a lawyer during this proceeding. >> congressman rangel said his

lawyer quit on him and he's not had time to since find a new one, but the ethics committee denied his request to delay the trial. luke, the show went on without him, but the question is, where was congressman rangel? >> congressman rangel after he made quite a public exit retreated to his officer where his spokesperson said he will not be par it pating in the ethics trial at all. they're watching it play out on c-span and watching the developments as they occur. essentially we saw from the house ethics committee, running the trial, is the trial went out without rangel. the draf director was very interesting. within this ethics trial, eptive butterfield of north carolina, asked the guy who is essentially the prosecutor here, do you think that charlie rangel is corrupt, and he answered no.

he also went onto say he did not believe charlie rangel sought to enrich himself by any of the things he's accused of wrongdoing. such as not paying taxes. and essentially what this prosecutor said is that rangel is guilty of very sloppy accounting. just not being organized with his finances. but that he himself is probably not guilty of trying to do any of this sengsly. it will be interesting to see when that holds up when sentencing happens later in the week. the trial is set from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. rangel says he will not show up because he's already paid his lawyers from new york city over $1.6 million. they say they want another million dollars to go to this trial. rangel says he cannot afford to pay that. he could use his campaign funds, but those have been washed up, but he could use personal funds. he says he does not have the

money. saying it's not fair for me to go to trial without a lawyer or counsel present. the man who said he want ad trial to occur more quickly was charlie rangel. the trial is happening now. he wants no part of it. well now that president obama is back from asia ya, there's a looming battle with the gop over tax cuts. plus a potential dramatic fight for leadership in the house. mark wihitaker is washington bureau chief. this is another thing democrats don't need on their plate as they try to lick their wounds and get it together after the midterms. >> and the reason he doesn't have money left to pay his lawyers is that for a long time he wasn't taking the advice of his lawyers, which was to settle this case. now i think he's taking a position of sort of throwing himself on the mercy of the court.

>> and freshman orientation. the new blood hoping to shake up washington as so many aspire to do as they walk through the capitol and get acquainted with the new digs, if you will. >> this is a ritual every two years. all the people who have run against washington now coming to see what washington is really like. 20 years ago there was a young insurgent named john boehner from ohio and was part of the gang of seven and contract for america and so forth. now he's the likely leader of the now house will have to deal with the people who were basically there 20 years later. >> and one thing as we mentioned, the president is preparing to deal with is the tax cut issues. you have david axle rod on "meet the press" not wanting to use the words compromise. he was asked repeatedly if the president was ready to compromise on tax cuts. he would not agree to the wording. what are we hearing as the

president is expected to meet with the other side. >> the president ran to extend the tax cuts for only people earning under $250,000 a year and to repeal them for everybody else. probably he is going to compromise on that. so there are three scenarios. one is he allows the extension for everybody but limits the time period for the rich. second is that he raises the cap and says, okay, we'll extend tax cuts except to everybody who earns more than a million and require that the republicans fight for tax cuts for millionaires. and third is a mark warner proposal to take some of the money and target it to small business. >> how is the preponderate expected to deal with, for example, nancy pelosi who has a clear different stance on this, as she also faces a possible challenger in her leadership? >> well, remember, nancy pelosi will be still the speaker during

the lame duck. but then she loses her power. she'll be a voice at the table, but not as strong as before. one of the surviving blue dogs who won re-election said during the campaign that he would challenge her if she ran again, and it sounds like he may make good on the promise. he's an ex-nfl quarterback. she has the votes. but in schuller's case he'll have to go before north carolina voters, and he wants to show that there isn't just a nancy pelosi wing of house democrats. >> all right, mark, thank you very much. a lot to talk about. thank you, mark. and new information on the obama administration's plan to end the war in afghanistan. this week the u.s. will share details of a schedule to end combat operations by 2014. afghan president karzai says u.s. troops need to reduce their presence in the country. he says now their presence is

putting them at odds with many including david jen petraeus. general petraeus is saying that these comments from karzai and others undermine the effort right now with the u.s. troops on the ground. >> absolutely. that's the word going around right now. president karzai had strong words in an interview to the "washington post." an interview released on sunday. he stated he wanted the u.s. military footprint to be smaller and pretty much right away what it seemed to be by this article, by this interview is he was trying to appease to the taliban leadership. the same leadership that he's trying to talk with right now. the leadership he wants to bring back into the government. but these rubbed washington and certainly rubbed general petraeus the wrong way. president karzai talked about having the military and nato forces stay in the bases and

only come out when it's to fight the insurgency, which contradicts the counter inser gener insurgency strategy of general petraeus. they want to win their hearts and minds and gain their trust. so obviously petraeus is not happy with president karzai's words. and that's not good for president karzai. he already has a very strained relationship when it comes to the obama administeratioadminis. president obama himself. as well as the u.s. special envoy to pakistan and afghanista afghanistan. >> thank you. and up next, we'll talk with a man who sporked a 30-minute standoff with the tsa after refusing to go through one of those, you know, full body screening procedures. plus -- >> it's just none of his

welcome back. "news nation" is following breaking news out of knox county in ohio where police are giving us an update on a suspect matthew hoffman. he's been charged with kidn kidnapping 13-year-old girl sarah maynard found in his basement. her mother, brother and friend

are still missing. >> the knox county sheriff's office, the federal bureau of investigation, bc i&i and the ohio attorney general's office. that's where we are today. i will take questions now, and i will remind everyone like i do every time when we get to this point in the media briefing, this is a very active investigation. there's a lot of sensitive information that could impede the successful prosecution, so some questions i obviously will not be able to answer, but i'll take questions now. >> what led us to foundation park is most of you know that matthew hoffman lives a t 49 columbus road. right directly across from that address is the street that accesses foundation park.

foundation park has ponds. it has -- it's a former gravel pit. that's why we're searching foundation park. >> was there anything more specific than the fact that he lives close by? >> no. >> he has been cooperative at all in your investigation? >> i don't want to comment on what he is or is not doing. >> we understand you had an alert deputy who actually contacted the suspect prior to your arrest. that's interesting. can you talk about ha at all? >> prior to his arrest? >> a field interview? >> okay, when -- when the f-150 pickup truck was recovered last thursday. >> yes, that was a deputy who was on his toes it sounds like. >> absolutely. >> what can you tell us about that? >> since it involved sames that are part of the investigation, i really can't get into it other than the identity of mr. hoffman

being at that location when the truck was recover rd. >> was it approximately the same time they found the truck? >> yes. >> you said he was cooperating yesterday. why can't you clarify his cooperation or lack thereof today. >> because the investigators are talking with him. i think most people when they're initially arrested, they're maybe not too likely to want to talk, but because of the excitement and the way that the arrest took place with the s.w.a.t. team, but that's all i'm going to say about what he is orsy not doing. >> we are listening to the sheriff of mt. vernon. it unfolded when a 13-year-old girl was found bound and gagged in the home of 30-year-old matthew hoffman. her mother, her young brother, and a family friend are still missing right now, and police are saying there's a possibility

that those three people still missing have been killed. they are searching a nearby park, near to the home of the suspect. we'll continue to follow this breaking news out of ohio and bring you any developments. we will be right back with more news nation.

experienced in the past. civil rights groups and some pilots unions say it's going too far. one california manmade the video you just saw while trying to board a flight from san diego to south dakota. he was thrown out of the airplane for refusing the pat down, and then threatened a civil suit. john joins me live via skype. john, thank you for joining us. >> hello. >> let me first of all -- when you went to the airport, did you know that there were full body scanners there? >> no, up until last night tsa's website said there were no full body scanners at san diego airport. >> so you went in thinking you would see the normal metal detector or screener we would go through at any airport? >> yes, exactly. >> and so when did you realize that things were not going to be the way you had wanted them, especially when coming to the

full body scanner? >> well, when it reached the screening area they had the ait machines alongside the metal detectors. actually they checked my i.d. i got in line for the metal detector. what i assumed people were going ob is people were allowed to choose between the two machines. >> you decided i done want to go through the scanner. then you were gien the option to get the pat down. what bugged you about the pat down? >> specifically the groin check. i head new stories that the groin check was especially invasive. i read stories of other men who felt physically sick to their stomach because the officer had been so rough when they did the check. >> did you feel embarrassment? did you feel like, listen, you just didn't want someone touching you in your private

areas? >> exactly. that was my big concern. i don't think some random stranger groping my private area should be a condition of my flight. >> janet napolitano did an article in the usa. she says pat downs have long been a security measure used by the u.s. to make air travel as secure as possible. i also want to play what tsa ad administrator said on the "today show." >> everyone wants that. the question is what is that blend or balance between security, safety and privatesy, and while we remain sentensetivo those people, we believe the system addresses the concern and provides the best possible security. >> so you have people who say this is about our security. if we want to keep terrorists from boarding the planes, like on christmas day, over detroit, we have to take the measures that in some cases may not be

comfortable, but it is about safety. >> is it necessary? is that what you're asking? >> yes. >> i think we're in more danger than we have been in the past 10 years doesn't hold water. you're more likely being killed going to and from your car than you are in the air. the pat downs we have up until now are probably makes us just as safe as the new ones supposedly do. >> we appreciate you joining us. we apologize to the audience for the long delay via skype. we really wanted to hear you a in your own words. nationally syndicated radio talk show host michael smerconish. what do you think? does he have a point? he says he went online, saw the airport did not have the full

body scanner. once he got there, he's one. >> he's concerned about his privacy rights, but if i'm a fellow passenger, if i'm in the jump seat next to him, what about my right to be safe? if there's an alternative, i would love to hear what it is, but this is apparently necessary in the opinion of secretary napolitano because of what happened tw the underwear bomber last ses 25. >> several groups online are calling for a boycott the day before thanksgiving saying boycott these body scanners. >> i don't like it. busiest travel day of the year. think f all the folks going home to see family and loved ones for thanksgiving and this voluntary effort is intended to do what, shut down american airports? i don't like that idea. >> i have to tell you, michael. i went through a body scanner. i thought what was the big until i got in the body scanner and your mind starts to wonder who is looking at my image. i don't know the man down below in the secret room. it makes you wonder, is this too

much? is this going too far? >> having read what she said in this morning's newspaper? they tried to plan for ef eventuality. the person looking at the image has no ability to store the image. if someone saves it. >> what about the pat downs. you hear this guy say someone's hands all over your body -- too much. >> again, but they're providing a person from the same gender. if there's an alternative, let's get to the alternative. but these folks still want to kill us. but for whatever reason airports and airlines are still using as a means to do so. if we have the technology, let's use it. i want to do whatever is most able to get me to the gate quickest, and hopefully i can keep my shoes on. >> some lawmakers from new jersey, aclu and a couple of other places want a congressional hearing to take a look at whether this is the necessary step to keep us safe. thank you, michael.

it will bring those together. so if you get a text from someone but you don't lick to text, you want to respond via e-mail. you can send an e-mail back from you. it allows you to communicate in any means you want and brings it all together in one place. it really makes the mun kmags social. facebook is launching a social inbox to organize and priority messages based on your friends sochlt you f you put into facebook who your parents and siblings are and significant other and it will rank those e-mails accordingly. it will keep all of your conversations organized based on who you're communicating with. now your texts, ims and e-mails are all separate. it's hard to keep track of all those different conversations. now all of this has really conver converged. google's g-mail service has a
