Much. Lets im kasie hunt. Dont go anywhere. Cnn this morning starts right now. Good morning, everyone. Hope you had a good evening. Good morning. Good morning. A lot to get to. Five things to know for this tuesday, october 3rd. Mccarthys next move. All eyes watching to see how the House Speaker responds to Congressman Matt Gaetz formally filing a motion to remove him from his leadership post. And happening today, a courtroom split screen. Hunter biden set to be arraigned in federal court in delaware and former President Trump expected to head back to court in new york for a second day of his Civil Fraud Trial. Also, 9yearold charlotte rescued in a dramatic raid two days after she was abducted. Police tracking down the suspect based on a ransom note left for her parents. This also breaking overnight, texas congressman henry claire carjacked In Washington, d. C. At gunpoint. His car, his phone, his ipad all taken. We are told, though, he is okay this morning. And after five months of strikes, late night is finally back. Its kind of weird coming back after being gone for five months. The nbc converted this to a spirit halloween. My writers got fresh air and sunshine and do not care for that. Now theyre back safely in their joke holes doing what they do best, Making My Prompter word screw full of good and ha ha. I am so glad late night is back. Im glad theyre back. Im offended by the notion that writers dont like the outdoors or sunshine. The prompter joke screen. Theyre a lot smarter and more coherent than we are. Which makes me think how important the words on our prompter are. Kevin mccarthy is hoping to pull it together, too. Will he, wont he . Well see. A vote could come as soon as today to determine the fate of House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy. Looks like hell need democrats to save him. Congressman matt gaetz moved for a vote to potentially remove mccarthy as he leads a right wing revolt against his own leader. We havent seen a move like this in more than saa century. Comes as congress is scrambling to prevent a Government Shutdown next month. I have enough republicans where at this point next week, one of two things will happen. Kevin kmark thi wont be the speaker of the house or hell be the speaker of the house working at the pleasure of the democrats. Im at peace with either result because the American People deserve to know who governs them. Mccarthy can only afford to lose four republicans. Five already said they would vote to get rid of him and at least 13 other republicans who are undecided but open to voting him out. That means mccarthy needs support from democrats to hold on to the gavel. House democrats are set to meet hours from now to decide what to do. Speaker mccarthy will try to kill the measure preerd ocedura. Lauren fox, as we look at the timeline and how things may happen over the course of the next 24 to 48 hours. Big question what do democrats do . Yeah that is the key question this morning, phil. Theyre going to huddle around 9 00 a. M. This morning. Their leadership has been telling them for the last several weeks dont go out and freelance your own deal with their republican friends. Also keep your powder dry because we want to have a broader conversation about this. Expect that that conversation is going to start to unfold this morning at 9 00 a. M. Now, we asked repeatedly yesterday if jeffries and mccarthy had a conversation to this point about the future of mccarthys speakership. And yesterday mccarthy said he had not spoken to jeffries. Obviously well be watching to see if that changes given the dynamics because there are a handful of republicans who have already said they are willing to oust mccarthy. That means he is going to need democrats. Here are a couple republicans who talked a little bit about why they made that decision. Really i see it as two things. One, do i vote against my friend, Kevin Mccarthy, or do i go with my conscience. Thats where im at. Im currently praying about it, but if it was right now, i would vote to oust him, yes. Im open minded. I havent decided yet. But ill tell you something, its very important that matt puts accountability reporter mccarthy has two legislative days to take action. This is a privileged resolution that matt gaetz brought to the floor yesterday, but obviously he could act as soon as today. He has a couple of procedural tactics he could deploy. The question, of course, are where are democrats going to be given the fact you now have five republicans who said they would been willing to remove the speaker from office. One thing to keep in mind is that matt gaetz yesterday went to the floor a couple of times. When he finally made the decision, it came with the thing in mind that there were going to be members who would be missing likely on thursday. Senator Dianne Feinsteins funeral is on thursday. If they were going to take this a, conservative hard liners wanted as many people as possible. You dont want to lower the vote threshold. Gaetz said hell do this as many times as he needs to. He wont do it just once. All eyes on the democrats. Theyll be essential to what Kevin Mccarthys future is. The word is leverage to say the least. Lauren fox, keep us posted. Busy day. Well, we have some good news to share with you this morning. 9yearold Charlotte Senna is safe at home after a two day search. She went missing while on a camping trip over the weekend. A suspect is in custody. Police say the crucial piece of evidence that led to a break in the case was a ransom note that was left at the parents home. Jean casarez is following all of this. Thank goodness this is what everyone was praying for. And its the news we have this morning. Fantastic news. Charlotte and her family, they were camping a little bit up the road here. This was the staging area where 400 searchers would gather before they would go out to try to find her. Its empty this morning because charlotte was found alive. She knew she was being rescued. She knew that she was in safe hands. Reporter Charlotte Senna, the 9yearold who went missing saturday while camping with her family in Upstate New York has been found. Our prayers have been answered. Reporter an amber alert had been issued for the young girl sunday morning, after an exhaustive search of the state park left authorities fearing the worst, that charlotte had been abducted. Approximately 400 certified search and rescue personnel, including the fbi, were searching for charlotte, who disappeared while riding her bike near her familys campsite. As each hour went on, hope faded because we all know the stories, the first 24 hours theres hope. When you hit 48 hours, hope starts to wane. Reporter the governor says a break in the case came early monday morning when the suspect left a ransom note in the sennas mailbox. He literally drove up to the familys mailbox, assuming they were not home. 4 20 in the morning, opens the mailbox and inserts the ransom note, leaving a critical piece of evidence behind, his own fingerprint. Reporter police tested the document for fingerprints and searched Law Enforcement data bases. Police worked diligently trying to find a match for a fingerprint. The hit came at 2 30 in the afternoon. There had been a dwi in 1999 in the city of saratoga, a fingerprint was found that matched what was found on the ransom note. Reporter investigators were able to track down the suspect, 47yearold Craig Nelson Ross jr. , who resided in a camper behind his mothers home. Two s. W. A. T. Teams entered the camper and located ross and charlotte. The little girl was found in a cabinet covered. She was rescued. Reporter and charlotte was take on the a hospital in albany as a precautionary measure. The governor says she has been reunited with her family and the suspect is now in custody, taken into custody at 6 30 last evening. And criminal charges, we expect them to be filed shortly. Poppy . Wow. Jean, their prayers answered for sure. Thank you for the reporting. Overnight, congressman henry carjacked. Police located the car but theyre still working to track down the suspect. Cnns gabe cohen joins us live from where it happened. Gabe, frightening thing but not something thats a rarity In Washington these day. What actually happened here . Reporter phil, youre right. Its a terrifying situation. Just to set the scene for you here. Were standing in navy yard, a fairly upscale part of washington. There are a lot of congressional leaders, Young Professionals who live here. You can see behind me less than a mile down this road is the u. S. Capitol, not far from where were standing. About a quarter mile in that direction, nationals park, the ba baseball stadium. This is a very busy area. Bars and restaurants all over this area. Yet at 9 30 last night, right at this intersection, Henry Cuellar was carjacked. They took his car, his phone, his ipad even his dinner. Now, fortunately the representative wasnt injured in the incident. We did get a statement in from his Chief Of Staff that reads, as Congressman Cuellar was parking his car this evening, three armed assailants approached the congressman and stole his vehicle. Luckily he was not harmed and is working with local Law Enforcement. Thank you to metro pd and Capitol Police for their swift action and for recovering the congressmans vehicle. Look, phil, all morning we have seen an increased Police Presence here at this intersection. Several of these police cars parked around the area. Its not exactly clear if thats solely because of this incident. Because the reality is, this is an area that is often trafficked by Law Enforcement given not just the amount of people who live here but also the proximity to the capitol there. But look, as you mentioned, this is not unheard of here In Washington. We have seen Violent Crime increase dramatically this year here in the district, including Motor Vehicle thefts, phil, which have close to doubled since this time last year. Gabe cohen for us In Washington. Thank you very much. President trump says hell be back in the courtroom today after he attacked the Attorney General prosecuting him here in new york and sounded off on the judge who will determine the fate of his business empire. And late night returns with hosts unleashing months of jokes bottled up because of the hollywood Writers Strike that brought production to a halt. We looked at the calendar today and check my math on this, i believe we have been off the air for 154 indictments. This is politics. Now, it has been very successful for them because they took me off the Campaign Trail because ive been sitting in a courthouse all day long instead of being in iowa, new hampshire, South Carolina or a lot of other places i could be at. That was former President Trump outside of court right here in new york city. He says hell be back in the courtroom today. You heard him say he could have been campaigning elsewhere in the country, but hes here. It matters to him. Trump turning the 250 million civil case against him into an extension of the Campaign Trail. He launched attacks at the new York Attorney general Latitia James and the judge who found him liable for fraud last week before court even started last week. Kara scannell joining us outside the courthouse with more. He will be back. What happens today in court . Reporter yeah, poppy. So former President Donald Trump will be back in court today. And he will hear continuing testimony from his former longtime accountant. Now, this is the trial where trump is having his reputation as a successful businessman challenged. And the ultimate fate of his business here could lay in the hands of the judge. And we heard from the former president yesterday, him taking every opportunity to slam that judge and the Attorney General. Fuming and combative, former President Donald Trump returned to a familiar refrain. This is a continuation of the single greatest witch hunt of all time. Reporter flanked by his attorneys, trump walked into the courtroom the opening day of the Civil Fraud Case brought by new York State Attorney general, Latitia James. Last week judge arthur engoron, the Trump Organization and his oldest sons are liable for fraud. On monday, trump disappeared. No bank was affected. No bank was hurt. They dont even know why they have to be involved. Reporter trump, turning the event into a spectacle and used the opportunity to bolster his president ial campaign. This has to do with election interference, plain and simple. Theyre trying to damage me so that i dont do as well as im doing in the election. Reporter returning to the cameras on multiple occasions throughout the day. Trump continued to link the civil action against him in new york to his other criminal indictments. The republican president ial candidate repeatedly attacked the judge overseeing the case. The new York Attorney general and the u. S. Department of justice, which has no jurisdiction over this case. Its all run by doj, which is corrupt. We have a corrupt Attorney General in this state. You see how she does. Reporter that new York Attorney general sat in the courtroom facing trump. Kevin wallace, an attorney for the new york ag told the court about the offices end goal to bar trump from doing business in new york. Wallace argued while it may be one thing to exaggerate for forbes magazine, you cannot do it while Conducting Business in the state of new york. But trumps lawyers pushed back, saying that there was no intent to defraud and, quote, no victims. Inside and outside the court, trumps attorneys claim the case is flawed and defended his Business Records and Financial Statements. President trumps assets are worth way more than what the court would have you believe. But this is all about 2024. Do not get it confused. Reporter but the 250 million lawsuit alleges trump and his codefendants committed repeated fraud, inflating assets on Financial Statements to get better terms on commercial real estate loans and insurance policies. Allegations that james said cannot go unchecked. My message is simple, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law. Reporter and the state will continue to try to prove its case today with the former accountant back on the stand as we head into the nittygritty testimony of these Financial Statements. Phil, poppy .

If Kevin Mccarthy goes and makes a dirty deal with the democrats to keep power, i believe that the people in this country will rise up and demand that their representatives and their lawmakers accept a better path a more responsible path. With his job on the line, House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy, could he cut a deal to stop
