the source with kaitlan collins starts now. >> tonight, straight from the source, forgot all, an adult website, and botox? a scathing new report says for misspent thousands of his donors dollars, and calls are coming for him to be expelled from congress. plus, the israeli military says it is recovered the body of a hostage of at al-shifa hospital, releasing new videos they say reveals a tunnel shaft. we'll go one-on-one with a top official in moments. and why osama bin laden's two decade oh manifesto justifying 9/11 go viral on tiktok? and more importantly, why are some americans sympathizing with it? and caitlin collins, and this is the source. . >> and i did congressman george santos now says he won't be running for reelection next year, and reelection may have been the least of his troubles. tonight he could be facing even more legal jeopardy. house ethics committee has just referred its new findings on santos to the justice department. the report finds, quote, substantial evidence of additional uncharged, unlawful conduct by the new york republican. the committee suggests that were crimes were committed in the 23 the santos was already charged with. i should note he has pleaded not guilty to those. the report finds that santos, quote, lately stole from his campaign and those funds to pay for his own personal expenses. here is what the report says, that people. nearly $3,000 worth of botox, purchases at sephora, taxi and hotel charges and las vegas during the time when the congressman told his staff he was on his honeymoon. and also, quote, smaller purchases from the website onlyfans. if you are watching and you don't know what it is, don't google it on your work computer. trust me. santos cold their work biased and a disgusting, politicized smear. the ethics committee did not subpoena him as part of the investigation, but the reason they gave is because he is a serial liar and they said his testimony would have low evidentiary value. santos did admit to cnn earlier this month he had made some errors on his financial filings. >> were there mistakes made on those forms? now i know there were. malicious? no. did i understand reporting dates? this is from last year or two this year? i didn't understand how that worked. and i'm a new candidate and i'm sorry, like, mistakes were made. >> he is sorry that mistakes were made. the ethics committee found that were much more that mistakes. now the question is, what will his colleagues think? a number of house republicans have indicated they will vote to expel santos when that vote comes up again, having previously not supported it enough to remove him from congress. but many were waiting for this report from the ethics committee. so far, at least ten republicans who voted against it last time now say they would vote for it. i'm joined now by santos's fellow new york republican congressman, mike lawler. congressman, what do you think? do you think george santos is ultimately kicked out of congress? >> no question. he is a serial liar with the report now out, is proven to be a serial life. and everything that i and many of my colleagues from new york have said for months has borne out. and i think it is time, long past time, for george santos to go. if he had any dignity or decency, he would have resigned yesterday. but obviously, we'll see, between now and the time we get back, whether or not he pleads guilty or resigns. or both. and whether or not we obviously have to come back and expel him. i pick the votes are there when we get back. >> you think the votes will be there. if there is a republican tonight who's on the fence, who doesn't know which way to vote, what would you say to them? >> this isn't about party. this is about country. it's about the institution. and anyone who is serving in public office needs to hold themselves and we need to hold them to a higher standard. george santos has defrauded the voters. he defrauded donors. he defrauded the nrcc. his treasurer pleaded guilty a month ago. a staffer pled guilty just this week to impersonating kevin mccarthy's chief of staff on a phone call with donors to try and defraud them of money. and obviously, he misused campaign funds, including paying for shopping sprees at ferragamo and hermes, including a subscription to onlyfans. it's absolutely absurd. it would be like an episode of veep and it would be funny if it wasn't so sad and pathetic. >> it's funny, except it's not because it's disturbing. i'm assuming, you were elected the same time he was. i'm assuming you knew you are not supposed to spend your campaign money on that kind of stuff? >> [laughter] that goes without saying. look, i think campaign funds are meant to be used to get your message out to the voters, to help elect you to public office. they're not meant to be used for personal gain in any way. and, you know, obviously, at the end of the day, this is about the public trust. this is about the people that we represent being able to trust we have their based interest at heart. and when you see episodes like this, when you see individuals like this who get elected to congress, it means the office. it demeans the institution. and it really does break the public trust. so i think this is far bigger than party. it's bigger than politics. and it's time for him to go. >> given that, we heard from speaker mike johnson today. he says he's troubled by the report. he didn't explicitly call for santos to resign. do you think speaker johnson should? >> look, i'll let the speaker speak for himself. i have said repeatedly that george santos needs to resign. i called on him to resign going back to the beginning of the year. i called on him to resign when he was indicted. i joined my new york colleagues in putting an expulsion resolution on the floor and voted to expel him. he needs to go. and i think, after this ethics report came out today, the sentiments i have heard from many of my colleagues, including those that were waiting for a level of due process here, is that he's got to go. >> but speaker johnson, he's the leader of your party. and you are saying that party politics should not be put over that here. don't you think that means the leader should call on him to step aside? >> i think the speaker said in his statement that we need to put the institution above all else. and so, i think i would read between the lines, that george santos needs to go. and if he's unwilling to show a little bit of decency and dignity here, and resign, then he needs to be expelled. and i expect that when we get back from the thanksgiving recess, if he is still a member of congress, there will be a privileged resolution brought to the floor and he will be expelled. >> congressman mike lawler, that is something you have been saying for quite some time now. thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, kaitlan. >> of course, in light of this damning new report, george santos does still represent more than 770,000 americans in the third district of new york. many of them had some thoughts on the allegations. >> he lied to everybody. >> we deserve better. >> we elected somebody we thought would be ethical. >> we need honesty. >> george santos? >> our cnn senior political analyst john avlon is here. john, i know how much you love history. here is a fun fact for you. if he is expelled as congressman lawler predicted his colleagues will expel george santos, hit with the only member in u.s. history to ever be expelled from congress who's not been convicted and court, who's not fighting in the confederacy. >> [laughter] we have got to put a finer point on that. my grandparents remember jim traficant very unfondly when that went down. i think the objections off to this point have been a precedent. but folks have to wait if this report. this report is damning and detailed as the indictment he has already faced. and it's just a pathetic and so tawdry. mike lawler, new york republican, wants him to resign with others because he's a stain on them. but what he calls for country over party, hundred percent. when he starts expecting anything resembling decency or integrity -- good luck. ain't gonna happen. >> i think when you look at this 55, 56-page report today, they included an exhibit where his campaign stuff, they knew there was something going on with. they created a vulnerability report where they basically had all of the reasons, questions they had. they urged him to resign or cost it out of the race. he didn't, the three of them resigned. so the signs were there. they weren't obvious, obviously -- >> they weren't, and that's because he had run previously and lost by a lot. people didn't think the race would be competitive -- questions were raised about his finances but we did know how bad it was. we just know it was based on a fraud -- and i think that larger step back is, this is partly a downstream effect of donald trump. if you're concerned about fraud, if you concerned about serially lying, then it's not just george santos. because it's frankly donald trump who turned shamelessness into a political superpower. who made people feel that land was somehow table stakes for politics. politicians should be held to a higher standard. it should be an honorable profession. those are the sentiments lawler was drawn for the argument for expulsion. but the larger culture enables this. maybe it will take us to remind people those attributes shot up tolerated. >> everyone deserves due process, but it's not just republicans. senator menendez is facing a bevy of indictment charges and his remaining in the congress -- >> equal justice under law. democrats have been calling on senator menendez to resign and not just from his home state, because that makes him look bad. republicans calling on santos to resign. that's returning to the politics we are seeing. people in parties are willing to police their own outliers. they are not willing to defend the indefensible simply because of the party label by their name. >> what happens if he doesn't resign and they need about 50 republicans, more than what voted most, time to actually expel him from congress. they're not there yet based on our numbers. we'll see if that happens after the break, but what happens if he doesn't get expelled and doesn't resign, he stays there? >> i think it will symbolize the stain on the congress. it would be a shame for the republican party. he'll be ostracized. he says he's not going to run for reelection again, unlike what he told our colleague manu raju weeks ago. the only reason to keep him in congress isn't a question of precedent. it's a question of whether republicans want to winnow their majority to an even thinner number. but that's not a good enough reason. they got to apply certain basic standards. not just about george santos. it's apply those standards more poorly. and if your problem is with, lined with fraud, with degrading the truth. and skimming off your donors and spending on these ridiculous details. apply those standards forward. >> john avlon. we know it would never do that. >> never. >> ahead, israel has released new images tonight to pick up its claims they say hamas has been using a major hospital as a command center. hamas is calling that a baseless lie. i should note, we are going to have the white house spokesperson john kirby here to break all that down next. also, he's been dead for more than a decade but why is osama bin laden going viral on tiktok? ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tonight, israel's military says it has proof of hamas tunnel infrastructure below gaza's largest hospital. this video you're seeing here was released by the idf, a day after they raided the al-shifa complex. at one point in the video, which i know it has been geolocated by cnn, it shows one of the hospitals main buildings about 100 feet away. a big area, big complex. i should note, cnn cannot verify the idf findings. we've been unable to get a comment from hospital authorities since this video was released. doctors and health officials in the hamas-run enclave have denied these accusations from israel. the idf sources, there are troops found large clusters of weapons and ammunition. they also announced they have recovered the body of an israeli hostage or the hospital. israel says hamas killed yehudit weiss, a 65-year-old grandmother. it's not clear how she died. we know she was kidnapped from kibbutz be'eri on october 7th. her husband was also killed. in that attack. also, israel's now pointed to these new details as it's physical pressure to provide evidence of hamas command center at that hospital. the united states says it has intelligence to back off the claim. and for more on that, i'm joined now by john kirby, white house national security council spokesman. admiral kirby, thank you for being here. does the u.s. plan to release any evidence that it has that the al-shifa was being used as a hamas command center, as you said? >> of any plans to speak to tonight with respect to release of our own intelligence. but i can't assert, as the president did yesterday, our own intelligence analysis does corroborate the claim hamas was using that hospital as a command and control about, possibly to store ammunition, other weapons, and of course as a potential temporary housing location for some of their fighters. >> but john, you know as well as i do, that there is skepticism over this. the u.s. says it has this intelligence. israel says it has this intelligence. but neither side is showing evidence of that intelligence and obviously people in thet u. s. have long been skeptical of claims about u.s. intelligence, at times. wouldn't it be helpful and important to build confidence in these assessments to show that evidence? >> the idf is the one. that they're releasing imagery, they're releasing video, and they are walking through the hospital and showing through camera coverage what they're finding. again, i don't have any plans to speak to you tonight about releasing any u.s. intelligence. but it is solid intelligence that hamas was using the hospital in that way. and it's right out of their playbook, kaitlan. virtually try to put civilians in harm's way by tunneling under their homes, headquartering in hospitals and schools. they deliberately try to use the people of gaza as human shields. so this is right out of their playbook. >> i should note, what israel has shown is part of a shaft and if shotguns and other things found in the hospital. not this sprawling complex they alleged it was when they showed the 3d mockup. but john, based on what the u.s. does know, do you believe that the raid on al-shifa hospital was justified? >> we know that this was a tough dilemma for the israelis, kaitlan. we know that hamas was using a hospital. we know there were command and control of your forces out of there, at least some of them. but we also know it's a hospital, a working hospital, with patients and medical staff. even young children. and it's a tough dilemma for the israeli forces. on the one hand, you want to be able to eliminate the very viable, very critical threat to your own country. on the other hand, this added burden of protecting people. and we've said, we don't want to see hospitals as firefight locations. we just want to see them as battlegrounds. it's a violation of the law of war, that hamas would headquarter itself inside a hospital. and again, it put that extra burden on the israeli forces to do so, in as precise and careful a way as possible. they have gone in on the ground. they have gone in small numbers. to try to be as careful as possible. but obviously, we're going to stay in touch with him and urge them, as much as we can, to be careful and deliberate. and to not place the patients and those medical staff in any greater harm's way than hamas has already put them. >> the idf said today, the body of a 65-year-old hostage , an israeli woman, was found near al-shifa in the complex. do you know, john, as any american hostages were being held there? >> no. we don't have any information to confirm that. we are still working very, very closely with the israelis, to get more information about were all the hostages are. i think we have to assume they are not all in one place. we know there are still a small number of americans, and we're doing everything we can to get more information. but i can confirm, they may have been held in al-shifa, but i don't know that. >> you are in san francisco with the president now, john. we have seen in recent days protest over president biden's refusal to call for a cease-fire. last night, the democratic national committee had to be evacuated. you saw the pro palestinian protesters outside. very tense clashes. have those protests moved president biden's position at all? >> first, we are very sorry that protest outside the dnc turned violent. our thoughts are with the officers who were injured and hope for a speedy recovery. peaceful protest is one thing. but when it turns violent, and somebody gets hurt, that's unacceptable. and we have been very clear about condemning that kind of activity. the president understands there is strong feelings here on all sides, with respect of what's going on between israel and hamas. but he also believes, and continues to believe, now is not the time for a cease-fire. a cease-fire would simply validate what hamas did on october 7th and it would give them breathing space and time. what we do support, and what we have talked to our israeli counterparts about, are a series of humanitarian pauses. you've seen yourself and reported on that. they have put into place regularized humanitarian pauses. they originally announced it for four hours, but that expanded by two or three hours to allow civilians to get out of north gaza through safe corridors. and many people of gaza are taking them up on that. that's a good important step forward, to help protect civilian life, to get those folks out of harm's way so they are not in the crossfire between hamas and the idf. >> and admiral kirby, obviously, you used to work at the pentagon. what 15 happen in recent days, they have been at least of this event attacks on u.s. forces by pro iranian militias since this war began. we have seen that u.s. carry out multiple propel her strikes. do you believe they're working? it doesn't appear they are, given these attacks are continuing. >> we'll keep doing what we have to do, kaitlin, to protect our troops in our facilities in iraq and syria. they're there for our counter-of mission, which is still a viable mission. they have come under attack. we'll continue to take the action we need to protect them and protect their ability to go after i. s. i. s.. and our message to the groups and the revolutionary guard corps supporting them is, you need to stop these attacks. they're unacceptable. and if you don't, there will be additional consequences for you. >> will that be anything different than what we've seen, given that deterrent strikes have not deterred the attacks so far? >> if the attacks continue, we will respond at a time and manner of our choosing. you have seen us in recent days go right at targets that were tied to the revolutionary guard corps, to their facilities, were they were training, headquartering. where they were storing ammunition and some of his rockets and other materials used by these militia groups. we will continue to hold the irgc and these proxy groups accountable, if they continue to attack our troops in iraq and syria. >> admiral john kirby, thanks as always. thank you for joining us here. >> good to be with you. >> up next, a cnn exclusive. the department of education now looking into reported incidents of antisemitism and islamophobia at seven schools here in the u.s.. the first such investigations we have seen happen since that october 7th terror attack in israel. the schools are separate across the country. they include one k-12 school in kansas, six
