we start with the growing fallout facing the white house this morning after a second batch of classified documents have been discovered in a separate location linking back to president biden dating back to his time at vice president this is after the initial discovery of classified materials in his former office at a washington think tank. republicans are using this, they have a new majority on capitol hill, now they are calling for a special counsel to oversee this matter similar to the one doing that for former president donald trump and the documents he took from office. there are a lot of questions so far not a ton of answers. so i m going to leave it there. want to be prudent here. this is under review by the department of justice i m not going beyond what the president shared yet, what my colleagues at the white house counsel shared with all of you as well. the president saying he was surprised to learn about these documents, is he saying he did not bring those docu
about his legal team discovering another batch of classified documents. the white house has yet to address this latest news. republicans certainly have plenty to say. we ll discuss both the legal and political ramifications facing the administration now. plus, in the next hour, the man accused of killing four idaho college students will make his second court appearance. it comes as a neighbor reveals what the suspect allegedly said about the killings just before he was arrested. first though, more on president biden s legal team finding more classified documents at a second location. cnn correspondent evan perez joins us now. what do we know about this latest discovery and i suppose the question is are they looking for more? reporter: the second question is very much an important one for the justice department as to what they do next, right. but what we know, jim, very limited information, which is that there was a second set of documents that were discovered in a s
faa first noticed tuesday night. the notam database crashed because of that damaged file. and the file also impacted the backup system. the faa tried to reset, plugging in again, but the restart failed, triggering a nationwide ground stop for 90 minutes. all air traffic paralyzed, anderson, something we have not seen since the 9/11 attacks. another government official tells me the computer system was not slated to be updated by the faa for at least another six years. that caught the attention of transportation secretary pete buttigieg. the faa falls under the transportation department, remember. the source tells us the buttigieg is not happy with how this update was planned, and he wants that system that caused these cascading cancellations fixed fast so this does not happen again, anderson. does it seem like this was done on purpose, or was it accidental? the f, aa has ruled out a cyber attack here. we do not think it was caused on purpose. this seems like it was something
that failed and that led to a nationwide ground stop. airports paralyzed across country for 90 whole minutes. we have not seen a nationwide ground stop since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. want you to listen now to transportation secretary pete buttigieg. he s directed an internal review of this. the faa falls under the department of transportation and so it is interesting here because the faa really faced a lot of criticism from airlines after summer and winter cancellations. but now the faa is coming under a lot of scrutiny on its own. listen to pete buttigieg. these kinds of disruptions should not happen and my primary interest now that we ve gotten through the immediate disruptions of the morning is understanding exactly how this was possible and exactly what steps are needed to make sure that it doesn t happen again. reporter: no doubt that this will come up in the faa reauthorization bill process that is just beginning now.
