cnn s jamie gangel, who broke the story, joins us in the moment. first, though, the irony of classified documents ending up where they did, of all places. did you take any classified documents with you from the white house? i did not. do you see any reason for anyone to take classified documents with them leaving the white house? well, there would be no reason to have classified documents, particularly if they were in an unprotected area. so that was the former vice president in november talking about the former president, saying there is no reason for anyone to take classified documents with them after leaving office. here he is three days after the first batch of biden documents was reported suggesting that he knew how to handle such things. and then vice president did not. the handling of classified materials and the nation s secret is a very serious matter, and as a former vice president of the united states, i can speak from personal experience about the atte
the most scary thing in my life, but thank you, god, that we are here. we couldn t see anything. it just went white. everything went white. explosions were happening. it was terrifying. for biden this is a political gift. it turns out apparently he is not alone in perhaps inadvertently taking classified documents. i don t know how this happened. we need to get to the bottom of it. this is an example of our leaders not following the rules they write themselves. they are preparing to announce their commitment of a significant number of tanks to ukraine. they have every right to defend their territory and armored tanks can be helpful. announcer: live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. > . it is wednesday, january 25th. 9 a.m. here in london, 4 a.m. on the u.s. east coast where we are following a dangerous storm system barrelling across the east coast. tornado for mississippi, alabama and florida. 40 million people under wi

we re following a pivotal moment in the midterms as we come on the air with the final countdown to that critical debate in pennsylvania. john fetterman and mehmet oz facing off for the first and only time ahead of election day. this hour, what to expect and what to watch for. and why republicans are now pumping a new round of $6 million into the race. our political experts are here standing by. also this hour, new details on two one-time close aides to former president trump. nbc news confirming one member of his white house inner circle talking to the january 6th committee. while another is trying to get out of talking to the georgia grand jury. the new legal filing just dropping this afternoon. we re live with those developments. plus, president biden making a new public plea for americans to get their covid booster shots with cases rising across the country and new worries about a so-called triple demic. one of the nation s top health officials, dr. anthony fauci, here
