investigate russian interference in the elections. if you were leading this investigation into president biden s classified documents, what key questions do you think need to be answered as soon as possible? well, there are a couple of different questions, anderson, that the investigator need to focus on. one, of course, is whether or not president biden was aware that he was in possession of these classified documents. another important question is just how sensitive are these documents? what information is in them? how dangerous would it be to u.s. national security if that information were release. and then of course they ll be interested in who had access to those documents over the past six years. how realistic is a potential sitdown interview between doj officials and the president of the united states? well, it would depend upon the president s willingness to agree to that sort of an interview. i think in a typical investigation where somebody is found in possession of cla
issue the special counsel would want to look into. it wouldn t be the first thing they d do but certainly on their short list. do you think a special counsel was warranted here? you know, anderson, i don t know what information attorney general garland had. there had been some preliminary inquiry conducted by u.s. attorney laush and i think it s appropriate to have done that inquiry. presumably when he came to attorney general garland and made his recommendation, it must have been based upon something he founding in his investigation and i don t know what that is. looking at it from the outside, i don t know what information caused them to make that decision. you do know that robert hur, he was your top aide and worked on the mueller investigation, how do you think he ll take on this role? rob approaches everything with a nonpartisan attitude and with tremendous sense of urgency and commitment to excellence. that was really demonstrated in everything that he did as an assistant
of course that did not come into play here that i can see. it s so difficult and tragic to watch this, anderson. you can get some information from those videos. but the other thing i noticed from those videos and mary and les had said is that left flap is up higher than you might normally see during approach. the only thing that i can think of, the amount of kinetic energy that is required to make that aircraft bank so quickly is a lot. there has to be something in the air flow or as les mentioned a possible stall. but if that left flap was split, we call that a split flap condition, in which one flap goes lower than the other, it can cause a very dramatic roll because that s a lot of mass out in the air flow to make the aircraft go one direction or the other. of course it s too early to speculate, but this tragic situation, as i said, it s after being on accident sites and going through it, it s quite emotional to have to go through that and see that. but it s necessary. david, do y
the chances of survival. but it s certainly encouraging that they are still out there considering it a search and rescue operation. yeah, yeah. it certainly is. and they re certainly still trying. if you look up there, they seem to be doing some work out there that s causing some sparks. i think one of the things they re trying to do right now, they feel that maybe there s some rooms in this building where someone might have been hiding out, where someone may have been unconscious. as you say, with the temperatures the way they have been out here, it s been around freezing pretty much every night and much not higher during the daytime. it would certainly be a miracle to find somebody. but the perseverance is something that we re seeing here that is very, very large, and you do feel that the authorities are doing their best. as we can see here again, 3:30 a.m. in the morning, working around the clock to see if they can make a miracle happen, anderson. thank you, appreciate it. com
media? were you given any indication there might be something amiss there? on which part? any of it. the resume, all the things that he s said. i don t know about his resume but had a few questions about it. what about the campaign and pretending to be your chief of staff. i didn t know that happened. they corrected it but i was not notified about that until a later date. did you speak to him about it at all. yeah, i didn t know about it until a later date unfortunately. anderson, now this just begs the question who knew what and when. house republicans are clearly trying to keep their distance from santos. even those lawmakers who aren t explicitly calling for him to resign, just a handful of those, suggest they have very little appetite to work with him. i understand you have new reporting on what santos constituents are planning? yeah. so i have had ongoing conversations with his constituents. the latest that i ve heard is that they re working on a
