"cnn this morning" starts right now. here's where we begin. overnight israel says troops recovered the body of a second hostage near the hospital conducting that military operation. >> this after israeli forces found a hamas tunnel shaft and a stash of guns, grenades and other combat gear at the hospital. idf releasing these videos as proof, they say. hamas says it's all baseless lies. cnn can't very either side's claims and the human watchdog wants access to the site to launch an independent investigation. president netanyahu saying that's one of the reason the troops were sent in to the hospital. >> strong indications hostages were held at the shifa hospital and one of the reasons we entered the hospital. if they were, they were taken out. >> meanwhile, here at home we're seeing even more intense protests coast to coast demanding a cease-fire in gaza. protesters blocked san francisco's bay bridge. look at that. for hours. police say some parked cars and tossed keys into the la oren liebermann is live with us. concrete evidence the idf is handing over, that indeed, their belief that hamas ran a command center, control center, under the hospital is indeed, fact? >> reporter: israel faced tremendous pressure to prove this assertion because it wasn't just something heard in past days and weeks but said for years hamas used al-shifa hospital above ground to have a terror infrastructure below. and a far cry establishing decisively hamas used this underground. releasing more pictures of a hospital shaft and located tz video entrance to the shaft closer to substantiating what they say is an operational tunnel network below the hospital, but still we clearly need to see into the shaft itself. not just the opening. they say the shaft was found near a cache of weaponry and ammunition. directors, health officials and the hamas-run enclave denied accusations saying it was only a medical complex. worth noting the u.s. and president biden threw their weight behind israel saying they have their own information that hamas used the hospital itself as cover for infrastructure below the hospital. still waiting to see more evidence and the idf promised more evidence and a look deeper under the hospital itself, poppy and phil. >> focus on the military operation. still, or supposed to be, a functioning hospital. the director says it's on the verge of catastrophe. what's being done to help the doctors, those working there, and the patients? >> reporter: the humanitarian crisis inside the hospital very much deepening. reporting for days on shortages of food, water, supplies and the ability to keep the patients alive and treat them. there is some 650 patients there according to the director of the al-shifa medical complex and the situation, as i said is worsening. some 36 premature babies, several have already died because the ink cue cubators co be continued because of utility outages. they're trying to move patients but the not clear that's possible. the director says doctors have to make harrowing decisions including amputating limbs of some of the injured because they can't prevent infection. >> sad news this morning, that the idf says they found bodies of two hostages. two israeli hostages near the hospital. do we know anything more about them? >> reporter: at this point, not much beyond what the idf has said. announced in the course of the past several hours discovered the body brought it out of gaza of a 65-year-old grandmother kidnapped october 7th. her husband killed in the attack itself. then also announced they brought out the body of a young female soldier noa marciano. announced died in gaza but not able to locate her body. both bodies located in the area of the al-shifa complex and they brought those out after identifying those and notified the families. the first two israeli hostages who have died in gaza that we know of. little information of where the other 238 or so might be what condition they're in and little on the state of negotiations whether there will be a deal soon or not. the broad framework appears to be there, getting it over the linehappened. >> that is the crucial came. thank you. cnn exclusive reporting the department of education launched investigations into seven schools after receiving complaints about anti-semitism and islam phobia. this according to an administration official. the investigations include five anti-semitism cases and two islam phobia cases among the schools, k-12 school in kansas and six colleges including cornell, columbia and university of pennsylvania, of course, college campuses have seen such a rise in tension over this since october 7th. education secretary miguel cardona will be here to talk to us next hour about all of it. also overnight, the government shutdown has been averted. thank goodness. president biden signed a short-term funding br ing bill w kicks the can down the road until january and february. growing calls for republican congressman george santos to be kicked out of the house of representatives. the calls after an explosive report from the house ethics committee found he repeatedly used campaign funds for personal expenses including thousands of dollars worth of high-end designer goods, botox treatments and apparently some onlyfans watching. now santos will not run for re-election saying a year from hell but he will never back down and announced a news conference outside the capitol on november 30th. cnnen lauren fox is live for us in washington. i don't want to ask you what he's going to talk about november 30th. goodness, who knows a the this point. my question now, tried multiple times to get him out of the house, expel him, condemn his actions and not able to. is it different now? >> reporter: yeah. definitely the tide is starting to turn, phil. you've already seen more than a dozen republicans who had voted against past efforts to expel him who now say they are prepared to vote "yes." here's a little sense of why from this ethics report that came out yesterday. new york gop congressman george santos facing possible expulsion again from the house of representatives. >> i think if he has any ethics and any respect for our government, he would step down. >> literally lied to voters and everybody that he represents. >> reporter: after a months' long investigation, the bipartisan house ethics committee says it found substantial evidence that santos violated federal law saying he sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his house candidacy for his own personal financial profit. the report paints a picture of a cash-strapped candidate who used campaign money to fund a lavish lifestyle including unrelated travel and buying luxury goods. in july 2022, over $2,000 was spent in atlantic city resorts with no records of campaign events occurring there. also, a federal elections commission report list that on july 7, 2022, the campaign spent over $3,000 on an airbnb. reported as a hotel stay. despite santos being off at the hamptons, as per the campaign calendar. it also lists services that don't appear to have a campaign purpose. $1,400 at a spa for botox. more than $200 at city m.d. $,500 more for botox. more than $1,000 for an ines ta stigs in new york. more than $4,000 purchased at hermes. smaller purchases at onlyfans, sephora, meals and parking. the damning report concludes santos knowingly filed false reports with the fec and made wereful violation wis the house. michael guest planning to file a resolution to make santos just the sixth member in u.s. history to be expelled. >> that will be enough for members to be able to make a decision as to whether or not they believe it would be proper to expel representative santos. >> reporter: according to a panel, santos refused to participate in an interview or provide a written response, and the panel did not subpoena him. santos posting on x, criticizing the committee's finding calling it bias and a disgusting politicized sphere showing the depths how low our federal government has sumpgnkened that will not seek reelection. yesterday we got a statement from the office of the speaker, mike johnson. his spokesman saying "as members from both parties and the ethics committee and representative santos return to congress after the thanksgiving break, speaker johnson encourages all involved to consider the interests of the institution as the matter is addressed further." obviously warning everyone including congressman santos, to consider the next actions that they want to take, because as you noted, phil, there is growing calls for him to be expelled from the u.s. house of representatives. >> lauren, kind of numb to the george santos stuff at this point. read this report you actually have to try to attempt to break as many laws, or rules, inside the house, as he did as alleged in the report. lauren fox, great piece. thank you. >> what a week of bad behavior by members of congress. >> not a great, not the best week on the hill. >> not the best. >> hey, don't have a government shutdown. >> happy about that. amen. lights are on. a second grand jury called and the president's brother subpoenaed. exclusive cnn reporting on the hunter biden probe. next. and a new poll in new hampshire shows former president trump continuing to dominate but a a new runner-u-up. momore on the e haley hypepe. that's's ahead. welcome back. president biden's brother now subpoenaed in the criminal investigation of hunter biden's business dealings. sources tell cnn special counsel seeking documents and testimony from multiple witnesses and's now using a grand jury in california, not just the one in delaware. that suggests new charges could be coming for the president's son in a second state. joining us now, cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor jennifer rodgers, anchor john avlon and cnn political commentator from spectrum news al lewis. start, counsel, with you. this was a big part of the republicans' criticism of the first part of this probe. what about california ? why didn't you pursue things in other districts? what does the grand jury there tell you? >> nothing good for hunter biden for sure. already have gun charges in delaware. now seeking to up the ante from the misdemeanor charge was going to file on the tax side in delaware to felony probably tax charges, perhaps other charges in california. they're expanding their investigation, too. not just a matter of finding a grand jury to charge in. obviously issues subpoenas looking to go outside of what they've done before. >> can i just ask. is the criticism warranted? why didn't you follow this lead before? >> listen, i don't know exactly what david weiss and his team did. worked on it a long time. no reason to think he wasn't uncovering every lead and doing a good job. 's listen, hunter biden, if he were anyone else, i think, would not face the situation he's facing. would not be facing this extensive investigation. would have wrapped this all up with probably civil resolution. so you know, whether it's fair or not i don't know. they're certainly going after it and i guess we'll see what they've come up with. >> there has been, especially of the white house, the view political pressure they ended up at this point and the judge as well. bringing you to our reporting that president biden is not going to be charged for the classified documents case. he will, i think, be chastised, clearly. wait and see what the special counsel has to say. political pressure to equate this, a., with trump's classified documents and b. immediately, i assume, jump on no charges and say this is an example, once again, of bias? >> look, just evidence i think of bad faith. damned if you do, damned if you don't. the president not charged evidence of to the system and charged vindication. look at facts. underlying principles equal justice under law. what biden is accused of doing and appears doing, what mike pence was accused of doing. documents are biased end up in people's homes. the question, what was the intent, alleged purpose? in the case of donald trump we see he knew he was in possession of documents, after the documents and seems to have taken action to hide the documents nig to using or talking about national documents with significant national security implications. the details of that still need to be played out in court, of course, but equating the two, the fact pattern, what you keep your eye on. >> interesting development here in the trump and trump org civil fraud trial. they have temporarily, the court lifted the gag order. why? >> yes. an appellate court decided it was maybe constitutionally impermissible to slap a gag order on donald trump about the statements he makes outside of court. meaning, the suggestion here that judge engoron may overstepped his boundaries and you can put orders on him about what he says when he's in the court and possibly on the courthouse steps but out in the world, do you really have the right to limit his speech? it's an interesting question, as a hypothetical. reality, of course, that it was made out of a certain exigency. hundreds and hundreds of threats are aimed at not just the judge but his staff member. >> yeah. >> in part based on what donald trump is saying on social media and elsewhere. >> yeah. >> and she's had to change her phone number and so forth and so on. look, a real argument that those statements are not just free speech but are actually behavior interfering with the administration of justice, but they seem to have lost this stage of that argument, also, the basic principle breaking down. >> if any other defendant was sending forth, attacking people in court part of the apparatus in personal terms and family in a persistence way they'd get the book thrown at them within the context. donald trump is daring people to hold him accountable. then presumably he can play the victim. >> ask you a legal-based question on the santos stuff talking about. wait until 7:00 or 8:00 to get to the onlyfans side of this. he says in part not part of due process. they poisoned the jury pool on my ongoing investigation with the doj. this is a dirty act that tramples all over my rights. people who don't whaunderstand t the ethics committee does, does he have an argument? >> the jury pool poisoned when it comes to that they can do extensive voir dire making sure jurors are not biased. the house decides whether or not members are abiding by the rulesable whether or not they should stay in the house. you can't just say the house isn't allowed to kick me out and investigate me because i have a criminal case ongoing. we really don't want to rely upon the justice system to make sure the house is upholding its ideals. right? that's up to the house. there's no merit in it, but, listen, his judge will be smart to make sure voir dire excludes all of those who have a view of things base and, for example, having read the investigative report. >> does anyone not have a view of george santos after the last -- whatever the view, a lot of george santos. got to go. two points. ethics committee always takes great pain to give the justice department space. delay investigations so they can complete their investigations. >> it's a little hard for them. glad he managed to do their investigative report given that. >> thank you all. appreciate it. elon musk under fire for endorsing an anti-semitic post on x formerly known at twitter. the fallout that's already led to one company pulling its ads. in order for small businesses to thrive, they need to be smart, efficient, savvy. making the most of every opportunity. that's why comcast business is introducing the small business bonus. for a limited time you can get up to a $1000 prepaid card with qualifying internet. yep, $1000. so switch to business internet from the company with the largest fastest reliable network and that powers more businesses than anyone else. learn how you can get $1000 back for your business today. comcast business. powering possibilities. keeping an eye on the tropical cyclone forms in the south caribbean. here to break it down, what are we seeing? >> hurricane season actually ends end of the month but mother nature says, hold my beer. i've got one more trick up my sleeve. a storm developing across the central pacific. here it is on the satellite called potential tropical cyclone 2022 and around thanksgiving, jamaica, caribbean, caicos, a cruise or family vacation heads-up. it's going to be extremely wet across that part of the world. on the flip side, now there's this. at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow the town of barrow, alaska, most northern town plunged into black news the next 66 days. any town within that arctic circle the red ring on the 3d sun doesn't see the sun officially rise above the horizon the next six months. on the flip side, in the summer, see the sun a long time. anchorage, alaska, could see their snowiest in history. yes, it is winter in that part of the world. phil, poppy? >> to be honest, i would hold your beer and watch you work on that thing for long periods of time. super cool. >> should have heard the control room during your hit. that is so cool. thank you. >> happy friday. >> appreciate it. turning to serious allegations. tiktok mogul sean "diddy" combs denying ing years of rape and a from his ex-girlfriend. that's ahead. and a legal win against governor ron desantis. details of the supreme court's ruling on the state's anti-drag law. after the report dropped santos announced he will not seek re-election for a second term -- [ cheers and applause ] i know. i know. i'm so happy, too. thank god i won't have endless content for my show anymore. >> late-night shows getting what might be their final laughs at congressman -- not final laughs. a lot more to come, guys. momentum building for another effort to expel the new york republican following a scathing house ethic reports with substantial evidence he violated federal laws, stole from his campaign and delivered a "constant series of lies to voters." an to santos accused for using fund for botox, leisure travel, and a lot of other things with no political purpose. unlawful conduct referred to the justice department. santos already pleaded not guilty to 23 federal charges including identity theft, credit card fraud and filing fraudulent campaign finance reports. the communications director for congressman santos resigned back in may after being indicted by the justice department. thank you for taking time this morning. i want to start with, if you were still counseling the congressman, that would probably be hard, but the november 30th press conference he scheduled several weeks in advance what would you tell him to do? >> well, the press conference should have happened from the beginning. doing
