[ applause ] >> that meeting had a big impact on president obama, as well. one of the things that led him to launch an initiative called my brother's keeper which he announced at the white house in 2014. christian, lazarus and james were there. >> when you went to d.c., that was your first time out of chicago, right? >> so that was my first plane ride and that was really my first time being out of my neighborhood. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. >> christian champagne was 18 years old at the time. >> he sat down with us and shared your story and to my surprise, he was just

in a drawer in james and jennifer's bedroom. the gun recovered from the shooter at the school after the shooting was the same gun that was purchased by his father james crumbley on november 26th, 2021, in the presence of his son. based upon the forgoing, the oakland prosecutor's office requested and received authorized -- we charged four counts of involuntary manslaughter as to james crumbley and four counts of involuntary manslaughter as to jennifer crumbley. i want to be clear that these charges are intended to hold the individuals who contributed to this tragedy accountable and also send the message, that gun owners have a responsibility. when they fail to uphold that responsibility, there are serious and criminal consequences. as we work together to honor the lives lost and all of those impacted by the evil acts this week, justice for the victims and their families is at the forefront of today's announcement. we need to do better in this country. we need to say enough is enough for our kids, our teachers, parents, for all of

this is part letitia james new york attorney general civil investigation. whether they had lied about the value of their properties, condos, officer towers, golf courses. this investigation has been going on for a long time. they did depose eric trump, one of the top executives at the country. the timing of this comes as the criminal investigation, which james' office is also working along with is come to go a head because the manhattan d.a., sigh vance is stepping down. he didn't run for reelection. big questions on what the next steps will be in a criminal investigation. a spokesperson for cy vance's office said in a public statement that the deposition that james' office is seeking is separate and not part of the criminal investigation. these are two parallel investigations. we can expect that the former president will move to fight this deposition. he has moved toll fight many o these depositions. particularly because it comes with the threat of a criminal investigation ongoing. it involves some of the same leaders of the offices there with james being

well, this lawsuit is asking a federal court to block letitia james' long running investigation into the trump organization. roughly two years her office has been conducting a civil investigation into the trump organization, looking at whether it lied about the value of its assets to obtain more favorable loan terms, better insurance rates, and to pay lower taxes. now, her investigation mirrors a similar investigation being conducted by the manhattan district attorney's office. that, though, is a criminal investigation and has already resulted in criminal charges against the organization and one of its executives. now, what's interesting about the timing of trump's lawsuit is it comes as james is seeking to depose the former president under oath next month. now, trump and his attorneys have long argued that james is politically motivated, but this this lawsuit they get more specific. they argue that james has violated trump's constitutional rights, and that she has abused her office to further her political career. now, in a statement, james has responded to these allegations saying,

earlier today, james and jennifer crumbley were arrested in detroit after an hours long man hunt. you're looking at footage of the couple being hauled off to the same jail where their son, ethan, is in jail. the police have identified a person of interest in surveillance footage from that building. they say it shows the person helping the crumbleys hide out. this morning, the crumbleys were arraigned on four counts of involuntary manslaughter. listen to the prosecutor explain why they took the extraordinary measure of charging the parents for a mass shooting allegedly carried out by the child. >> on the 29th, both defendants were aware he was searching ammunition on his phone at school. instead of reacting to that as a concerned parent and worried about safety, mrs. crumbley texted, lol, i'm not mad, just the next time, don't get caught. then obviously on this very tragic day on the 30th, they were called to the school and about their son's drawing, which clearly depicted threats and acts of violence and instead of disclosing to the school that he had full access to this weapon, t

now, what's interesting about the timing, this lawsuit is that it comes as james is seeking to depose the former president under oath next month. mr. trump and his attorneys have long argued james is politically motivated and allege she has violated trump's constitutional rights and abused her office, they say, to target trump and to further her own political career. now, in a statement, james responded saying, to be clear, neither trump nor the trump organization get to dictate if and where they will answer for their actions. our investigation will continue undeterred because no one is above the law, not even someone with the name trump. while legal experts say this lawsuit is unlikely to succeed, james' previous statements including her campaign promise to target trump and other statements she's made are not really focusing on him, those could come back to haunt her if she files a lawsuit or any other charges against the former president. those statements could be used as a basis to challenge any action she actually takes against the former president. paula reid, cnn, washington. >>

james and her investigators on january 7th. he does not want to make that appearance, and so he's thrown out this lawsuit as a way of distracting attention from her efforts and to try to push this thing into a separate channel, attacking her as being smau biased against him. unfortunately there's no right to be investigated by someone who likes you and that's essentially what the climbs in this suit come down to. >> the lawsuit cites comments that the new york attorney general letitia james made in her 2018 campaign as she's vowed to aggressively go after trump. could those comments by her come back to haunt her? >> they could, wolf. it's entirely possible that a court that looks at this claim determines that those comments were inappropriate. maybe there were things she should not have said. maybe they cast a light on her office that makes it appear as if she's, you know, head hunting or going after the former president. unfortunately, i don't think it goes much further than that. it's not an issue of conflict of interest. no

now, the timing of this lawsuit is also interesting because james has signaled she wants to question the former president next month. it does appear to be a traditional trump tactic, airing of grievances, everything that's happened between james and the former president in the last few years in the course of this investigation. the lawsuit argues she slyviola some amendments and want the judge to block this investigation. experts say this is highly unlikely, but we'll see what the judge and the courts have to say. >>> we'll be right back. meet stuart and byron, owners of sml, a tiny home architecture firm. they were getting ready to travel to portland, maine for a pitch when their 3d-printer broke. luckily, sml is with american express business platinum, and has access to over $1000 in value per year with the business services suite. so they got new software and created a full augmented reality experience. sml won the pitch, and with their membership rewards® points, extended their hotel stay for a few extra days. they had a whale of a time. get the card built for business. by ameri

have been making, climate scientists have been making for decades, 30 hours since 1988 anyway when james hanson testified before congress about all of this, people are seeing in their front and back yards. maybe now this could be a good thing that comes out of these disasters that we will take it seriously. and as you pointed out, the plan is to burn more coal next year than we did this year. and i say "we," human kind because coal is everywhere. it's just everywhere. we'll never run out of coal. but we can't do that anymore. we've got to stop. we've got to do things a new, better way. >> this week noaa released its white christmas probabilities. unsurprisingly most of the country's white christmas odds have decreased. are we looking at a future where a white christmas is a rarity in any part of the country? >> i'm not an expert on that because probably on that detail, rather. oh, boy, the other side is going to go wild over that sentence, but that detail is hard to predict because in a place like buffalo, new york, where when the great lakes get a little warmer there's more evaporation,

james, great to see you. build back better, dead or alive? what do you think? >> build back better is dead but build back differently is going to be very alive after the 1st of the year. they are going to get back, have substantial agreement on things. everybody needs a cooling-off period. look, it's 50. a 2nd grade math teacher needs to go to washington and explain the number 50 to people. you know, we -- we didn't do that well in these congressional and senate elections, so we're where we are. i think the president and senator manchin are going to be able to work this out. for right now, just going to put it on hold for a couple weeks but i -- i have no doubt this thing is going to come back. >> what is this thing? i mean, how -- how much will this thing resemble the bill right now? >> i'm not a legislative mechanic. but it will contain many good things, and what people need to do is stop talking about what's not in it when we get it and what's in it. and by the way, we have had a good year, economically. historically good year, economically, in this country.

james stavridis is also the author of the sailor's bookshelf, 50 books to know at sea. admiral, welcome. here's my first question. does ukraine stand a chance against russia in armed conflict? >> depends how you define a chance, michael. i think ukraine could make it very painful for russia. the vast majority of ukrainians will fight. they will fight to defend their land. they have improved greatly in war fighting capability over the last four or five years with u.s. and nato assistance. it will be a painful struggle for vladimir putin if he decides to invade. >> in other words, what i hear you say, admiral, is this could be a repeat for putin of afghanistan in '79. >> or chechnya. let's face it. the russians have experienced their own forever wars, michael. and those ghosts rattle around moscow. putin is trying to weigh that precise calculus. if he does go across that border, he'll do it swiftly. h he'll try to carve out a chunk that creates a land bridge from mother russia to crimea. he's not hanging around for a long fight in ukraine. >> okay, admiral. here's another

you're watching exclusive video obtained by cnn as james and jennifer crumbley were arrested early this morning on manslaughter charges after police were tipped off that the couple were in detroit. >> an attorney for the pair said they left town for their own safety and intended to turn themselves in yesterday. that, of course, never happened. this type of evasive behavior, though, and what the crumbleys allegedly did leading up to the shooting appear to be what led the prosecutor to filing charges. listen to this. >> they didn't say to the school officials or anyone else, "hey, just so you know, he has a weapon. i think we should take him home. just so you know, he has access to a gun." instead, they resisted taking him, and the decision was made that he should go back to class. what we know now is there was actually -- we have to assume, based d on the footage we've s and other things, that gun was in the backpack with the child at that meeting. it wasn't two hours later that he walked into a bathroom, walked out and began to systematically try to kill as many people as he could. so,
