pamela brown has been working this for us. she's our cnn justice correspondent. let's begin with this note on the father, the fact he'd been in jail. what more do we know about that? >> right. so we have learned today in speaking to law enforcement officials that the father of ahmad was questioned by the fbi in 2014 after this domestic dispute. ahmad had been arrested for stabbing his brother in the leg and unlawful possession of a weapon. he was put in jail and apparently at this time a neighbor heard the father saying his son was a terrorist. the neighbor alerted authorities about this and the fbi interviewed the dad and we're told by officials that during the interview the dad down played concern about his son and the fbi apparently determined that this wasn't anything more than a domestic dispute and ahmad was not placed in any terror watch list. what's interesting is we're told ahmad was never interviewed at this time in 2014. he was in jail, a grand jury decided not to indict. but this apparently happened, brooke, this domestic dispute, shortly after he ret

cnn's pamela brown is here with me in washington with the latest. information has the fbi think these two men may be able to provide? >> the fbi believes they could provide critical information. they want to know why they were in the area before the blast and why they opened up the luggage and removed the device. the fbi also wants to recover the bag the men took off with because it's a key piece of evidence. the fbi says the two men they're looking for are seen in surveillance video removing one of the bombs from luggage on west 27th street in chelsea a short time before a bomb went off a few blocks away. >> they saw the bag on the sidewalk. they admired the bag, opened the bag, removed what turned out to be a device, a pressure cooker, placed it on the sidewalk, and they rolled the bag or carried the bag away on the street. >> also today, the first glimpse of the bloody journal ahmad rahami was carried when he was captured. it was revealed during a hearing on capitol hill. >> this is a copy of mr. rahami's journal that was found on his person when

our justice correspondent pamela brown has a preview of a cnn special report "the essential hillary clintonre had been no tradition of a student speaker at wellesley but the student body insisted that there be one and they chose hillary. >> she was scheduled to speak at commencement after the invited guests, republican senator edward brook of massachusetts. >> and he gave a speech that was dismissive and patronizing about the anti-war movement, about what students were going through in the country. >> there was polite applause but mostly from our parents. then hillary spoke. >> and it is a great pleasure to present to this audience, miss hillary rodham." [ applause ] she got up and discarded her prepared vetted remarks and spoke extemporaneously. >> we've had lots of empathy, we've had lots of sympathy but we feel that for too long our leaders have viewed politics as the art of the possible and the challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible possible. >> while the administration was stricken by hillary's rebuttal, the students erupted in applause

our pamela brown is with us. these videos are very disturbing. what are we learning?er: that's right, they are disturbing. but they are not conclusive. they show this confrontation that ended with police killing an unarmed black man. that caused protests there in el cajon. this is business surveillance video. it shows the victim walking around after someone called 911 and said he was acting different. you can see the officer walking up to him here in this parking lot and there was some sort of interaction there. then another officer that walks into the frame. you can see the police car right there. that officer gets out of his car, walks up to join this confrontation. it's tough to see, as we zoom in here. you see the surveillance video. there was the cell phone video. tough to see what's happening, because the faces are blurred. but if you listen, you can hear some screaming, wolf. and you can hear the shots, the screaming, the police chief says -- there are the shots right there, the screaming. very jarring here, wolf. the police chief says one of the officers used

let's start with pamela brown. the suspect traveled to afghanistan and pakistan in recent years. how much do we know about those trips? >> so right now, anderson, investigators are scrutinizing his travels overseas, to see if he may have been radicalized while there. we have learned that in the last few years, he went to afghanistan, the country where he was born, and the taliban stronghold of pakistan. a longtime official said he married his wife in 2011 while in pakistan and returned to pakistan for an entire year from 2013 to 2014. the official says after that, or during his time, he filled out paperwork for his wife to come to the u.s. it was approved. he later contacted a new jersey congressman in 2014, saying he was having issues getting his wife to the u.s. she apparently had become pregnant and couldn't get her immigration visa until after she had the baby. we don't know, anderson, if she ever came to the u.s., but she's certainly someone officials want to speak with. >> was he on law enforcement's radar? so we're told at this point that he wasn't on law enforcement's rad

so let's go to pamela brown, cnn justice correspondent. tell me more about what we're learning about his past and what his father was saying about him some years ago. >> brooke, we learned today the father of the suspect was interviewed by the fbi in 2014 about him after this domestic dispute where the suspect was arrested for stabbing his brother in the leg and unlawful possession of a firearm. today my colleague jessica snyder spoke to the father and here's what he had to say about talking to authorities about his son. take a listen. >> now he's a terrorist. >> why did you call the fbi two years ago? >> because he was doing bad. >> what did he do bad? >> he stabbed my son, he hurt my wife and i put him to jail two years ago. >> which son did he stab? >> nasir. >> why? >> for no reason, excuse me, i can go now. >> so we've learned a neighbor contacted authorities after he heard the father call his son a terrorist during this dispute and an official tells that when the fbi went to interview the father that down played the concern about his

let's go to cnn justice correspondent pamela brown.t exactly are law enforcement looking for from these two. >> they want to talk to them to find out why they were there, why they opened up this luggage, removed the item inside and walked awith the bag. also they need that piece of luggage from them because that's a crucial piece of evidence in this investigation. as you pointed out, brooke, these two men seen in this notice are are not being looked at as suspects but as key witnesses because they picked up the piece of luggage, took the item out in the same hour the bomb exploded just a few blocks away on 23rd street and officials said they looked incredulous when they pulled the white garbage bag out and there's no indication they were fully aware of what was going on. officials said they were lucky if bomb didn't go off when they pulled it out of that bag but they are key to the investigation so what the fbi is doing is asking for the public's help in identifying these two men right here. >> tell me more about what you know, pamela,

you saw pamela brown. unscientific survey, right. do you think many people were swayed one way or the other, john? >> oh, i don't know. that video reminds me of the episode of "i love lucy" where they're all at the restaurant and everybody orders and lucy changes her mind every time somebody orders. i wanted to start haranguing them in spanish. >> why aren't they decided? i mean, really what is it going to take? it's so funny. you -- if you watched the debate last night, i would think you would be decided. it looked like there were a few of them that were swayed. maybe they have to gather all three debates of information of about -- >> well, the spinning has started, especially with the donald trump camp. >> oh, yes. >> paul ryan, the house speak, just weighed in on the debate. this morning. help w he was having the press gaggle, you know, they have every week. >> here's what i saw last night. i saw hillary clinton give a polished well rehearsed defense of the status quo, which 7 out of 10 americans don't like. i saw donald trump gi

pamela brown has been following that story for us. what are you learning?er: this criminal complaint has a wealth of details, particularly about the premeditation and planning that went into the bombings and according to investigators, just two days before the bombs were placed in new jersey and new york, the bomber, the suspect, was seen igniting an explosive in a backyard. investigators say that in that cell phone video belonging to a relative of rahami, you could hear laughing after the explosive goes off and investigators say the suspect actually entered the frame. again, just two days before the bombs were placed. the complaint also says that back in june, the suspect was buying bomb making materials off of ebay and those materials were sent to a business in new jersey. also, there's surveillance video that investigators looked at showing the suspect entering manhattan the night of the bombings two hours before that bomb went off on 23rd street. then you see him leaving manhattan several hours later. u.s. officials i have been speaking with say they ar

joining me now to talk about these documentaries, cnn justice correspondent pamela brown and cnn chieft gloria borger. i cannot wait to watch these documentaries. i really cannot wait. so it's interesting that hillary clinton agreed to sit down and talk with you. donald trump did not agree. but ivanka did. >> you know, we made repeated requests of donald trump over a period of months. and he made a decision he didn't want to sit down for this. but his adult children did. his three business partners, right, donald jr., eric and ivanka. and they were -- they're devoted to their father. and what's different about them from other campaigns i've covered is they are so involved in this campaign. not just as surrogates. but they are, and jared kushner, who is ivanka's husband, is effectively running the ca campaign, along with the campaign manager and the rest of the staff. these are business managers and political managers with their father. >> it just would be a strange place for them you would think but i'm sure you get into that. hillary clinton, i'm actually surprised she answered questi

first to cnn's pamela brown for the very latest on the investigation. what are you learning? >> this notebook is a crucial piece of evidence because it gives a glimpse into what was inside the suspect's mind. in this notebook that was on him that was recovered after hat shootout yesterday in linden, new jersey, he rambles on about terrorism. he talks about anwar al awlaki of course the al qaeda cleric. he talks about the boston marathon bombings. we know he sort of replicated what we saw in boston several years ago. so officials are looking at these ramblings and picture's emerging of someone who may not just be influenced by one terrorist group. in fact, so far, there isn't any indication that the suspect right here was inspired by isis but, rather, had a variety of influences. and so what officials are also looking at is his overseas travels. we know several types in the past few years he traveled to pakistan, to a taliban strong hold in pakistan. he also traveled to afghanistan. in 2011, i'm told by a u.s. law enforcement official, he married a woman and had been trying to

other than pamela brown is reporting that the suspect is in custody.usly waiting for police to get back to us here at this scene. you can imagine it is rather chaotic. >> stand by. the news is that ahmad rahami is now in custody after a shoot-out not far from where drew griffin is in linden, new jersey. apparently pamela brown reports one police officer was wounded in that. if we have a former official of the u.s. marshal service here, do we have art with us? bring art into the discussion right now. art, this man now in custody, this happened remarkably quickly, the bomb was placed, the first bomb was placed saturday night around 8:40. a series of three explosions over two days, the bullet was the man's picture going out a couple hours ago. now he's in custody. that is fast, fast work. >> well, it really doesn't surprise me. there was so much information and so many leads since this whole thing started, that it doesn't surprise me that they have him in custody already. when you look at the makeup of the terrorism task force. and also there's a very lar

joining us now cnn justice correspondent pamela brown and political analyst. sts of these two special reports. pamela, i have never heard her talk about that before. i know she wrote about some of it but i have never heard her address it. that was completely new. tell me what that interaction was like with her. >> this was a side of hillary clinton that i haven't personally seen. she was very open and candid and engaging and accessible on some pretty difficult topics talking about the monica lewinsky scandal. so we talked about a range of topics from her parents and meeting her bill clinton, what was holder her back at first and her hardest moments in the white house which didn't have to do with her husband's impeachment proceedings or the failed health care proposal. it's important i think for people to see this side of her beyond policy, beyond politics and rhetoric on the campaign trail and we're peeling back the layers and getting to know her on the human level. >> having your pain laid bared for the entire national to see which it did in 1998 i can't imagi

he also traveled to pakistan, he traveled to kreda, as pamela brown reported this hour. all of this is coming together to really basically raise new questions in the minds of investigators as to whether or not there was something here, perhaps some training that he got during those trips back to pakistan that they need to now take a look at. again, that's the beginning of this investigation. we're only at the beginning of this and we're going to learn a lot more in weeks to come. >> peter bergen, you studied terrorism for a long time. not only did he go to afghanistan a number of times, his family was born there, but we also learned he spent most of a year in pakistan, including a hotbed of the taliban. he married a pakistani woman. we don't know her whereabouts. he came back to the united states following all these trips, had secondary interviews at the airport but was told, go home, all is cool. is there a problem here? >> well, we don't know, but this is reminiscent of an american citizen who tried to blow up bombs in the manhattan subway in 2009. he was also from the

cnn's pamela brown has more from orlando. >> reporter: good morning, chris and alisyn.ear winner in the 20 undecided voters here in the key battle ground state of florida. that was hillary clinton. 18 of the 20 undecided voters felt like she had a better performance. this was one of the highest rated moments in the group. take a listen. >> we have to restore trust between communities and the police. we have to work to make sure that our police are using the best training and techniques that they're well prepared to use force only when necessary. everyone should be respected by the law and everyone should respect the law. >> reporter: let's get reaction from the undecided voters about hillary clinton's performance. what struck you? >> she was prepared. i liked she talked about criminal justice reform. that's one of my biggest issues. >> did you feel you connected with her more? >> yes, i did. she kept to the point. she tried to stay within the time limit. where the other opponent kept interrupting her. i like when she talked about the infrastructure. i think it is very i

pamela brown is working this part of the story for us. she left just before the bombings. >> that's right. in fact the suspected bomber's wife is cooperating with federal authorities and has spoken to u.s. officials in the united arab emirates. it is believed she was packing. she has not been accused of any wrongdoing. >> cnn has learned ahmad rahami player he had his wife in 2011. in 2014 he and his father seen here coming out of the family's home contacted a new jersey congressman's office for help bringing her to the u.s. >> the staff dwelt the father most times. mr. rahami only showed up once. he was a little abrupt and nasty with the staff. >> reporter: he claim his wife was having trouble with her passport and visa even though it was arranged. >> she needed a new passport. then they found out that she was 35 weeks pregnant and they were not given the entry visa and they said that they would give other visa once she had the baby. >> a u.s. official said she made it to the u.s. and described her relationship with ahmad as, quote, dist

i'm pamela brown. in outfront tonight nothing ruled out. nine weeks from election day and donald trump appears to be changing his position again. for months he vowed to carry out mass deportation of 11 million immigrants here in the united states. now he says he is not ruling anything out. let's take a listen. >> a lot of republicans talked about letting people have a legal status, just being able to live here and work here. >>. >> we are going to make that decision into the future. good kwechlt i'm glad you asked that. that decision will be made. our first thing is to get all of the bad element out. ♪ >>> from what trump said in his big speech states repeatedly that the only path to legal status would be to leave the country and reapply for reentry. you're looking live where hillary clinton is rallying in hampton, illinois. clinton shot down talks that trump is trying to soften his stance saying it is clear his advisers are scrambling to try to present a new and different donald trump. the fact is there is no new or different donald trump.

the one that pamela brown was talking to. and one of them when donald trump said, you know, i have the best temperament of anybody. i think there was a laugh across the whole country when he stayed that because nobody believes he has the best temperament and i think that showed and therefore i don't think you get to those things you talk about whether it be the wall or other issues. it was thrown off stride and very difficult for phim to come back that though. >> seems so obvious the things hillary clinton was bringing up to goad him. your dad gave you $14 million. an obvious poke at donald trump and he went for it. seemed like every time he would bring up something he would go and reach for it and waste valuable time. >> i agree with he did need to get the birther point of view and get those explanations and he did that not because hillary goated but because heaves he's responded to the questions asked. i also think what he saw last night when he looked at hillary clinton. said this is all politician. no action. sounds good.

joining me now, cnn chief political analyst gloria borger and pamela brown, the two women behind these extraordinary documentaries. thanks for being here. >> we're relieved it's done. >> it's a big lift, no question, for you and the entire team. gloria, you sat down with hillary clinton, and you sat down with donald trump. how difficult was it to go through something so private, so personal under the glare of the spotlight as the first lady? >> it was really hard. it was painful. and i was so supported by my friends. my friends just rallied around. they would come, they would try to make me laugh, they would recommend books to read, we would go for long walks, we would hang out and eat bad food. just the kind of things you do with your friends. and it was something that you just had to get up every day and try to deal with while still carrying on a public set of responsibilities. so it was very, very challenging. >> so what i think is so fascinating about this, pamela, this is not a look at the campaign they're running now, this is about the people, right? and one of the big criticisms

joining us now to go through the details, our justice correspondent pamela brown and tom verney. e on rahami's movements. l lay that out. >> looking at the time before he placed the bomb and then entered the manhattan tunnels two hours before placing the bomb on 27th street and left several hours later. we learned what family members have done, rahami apparently went home sunday morning, hours after allegedly placing those bombs in manhattan, and his family told investigators he was acting normal. wasn't acting suspicious. that had no kwlad no idea what earlier. overseas, a strip he took to pakistan for a year, 2013 to 2014 and in that time also went to afghanistan and turkey, we've learned. officials want to know if perhaps while in turkey he tried to get into syria. his father told the in t the "n times" and other, that he took a trip, was bad, contacted the fbi, was interviewed by the fbi. there are different accounts of that interview. the law enforcement officials we've spoke with say the father downplay downplayed, but the father has a different view. >> days before the bomb
