2016. before he was elected to congress. but then, he took off with the money. santos, for his part, denies the story. we have his response for you tonight. and there are new details tonight about what investigators found when they searched the home of the alleged killer of four college students in idaho. and what it could all mean for the case. i m get right to the court appearance today. that losing republican candidate who is charged in connection with shootings at homes of new mexico democrats based on his grievances for having lost. joining me, the top law enforcement official in new mexico. attorney general torres. nice to see you, thanks for coming. thanks for having me, laura. is a truly disturbing case. many people are looking at it scratching their heads in part, but also thinking, is this the result of what happens when you have got election denialism or what do you think that you are entitled to a certain result. this is not a case that you are personally pros
