But even mccarthys own party seems divided over the decision. We also just got new reaction from Mitch Mcconnell. We are following Breaking News this hour. Five Police Officers involved in the deadly beating of tyree nickels have been indicted on federal charges. The indictment states they deprived him of his constitutional rights. Armed and extremely dangerous. This is how police are describing the convicted killer who escaped from a Pennsylvania Prison nearly two weeks ago. Hes now stolen a rifle from a homeowners garage. Were following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. With his speakers gavel possibly on the line, Kevin Mccarthy just threw down the gauntlet. This morning, the House Speaker officially gave key Republican Committee chairs the go ahead to start an Impeachment Inquiry into joe biden, all based on allegations of Corruption Stied to Hunter Bidens business dealings. House republicans have been threatening to oust him as speaker if he didnt take this step. But the response from the counterparts in the senate has been muted. This was Mitch Mcconnell just moments ago. Weve got our hands full here, trying to get through the appropriations process and not have an omnibus. And i dont have any advice to give to the house. They have a totally different set of challenges than we do. And so i think the best advice for the senate is to do our job and well see how this plays out later. Lets take you live to capitol hill with lauren fox. So lauren, in a moment like this, you would normally ask if joe biden can survive this politically, but you have to ask the same of Speaker Mccarthy. Reporter yeah. I mean, theres a huge political question right now surrounding House SpeakerKevin Mccarthys speakership. And specifically, he has a series of challenges. One of which is funding the government at the end of the month. You saw there Mitch Mcconnell alluding to the fact that the senate was focused on that. Meanwhile, in the house of representatives, the big news today, of course, is this announcement from mccarthy that hes normally launching an Impeachment Inquiry into joe biden. Now, he talked to reporters just a few minutes ago, and he made clear that he acknowledges that there is still more information that has to be found. And he said that thats the difference between an impeachment iny and moving forward formally that. Is the tight rope that the House Speaker is trying to walk right now. But mere moments after he made his amountment, you saw matt gaetz go down to the house floor and give his own speech, threatening to try and oust the speaker if he doesnt give in to a series of demands, including demands on spending. Heres what matt gaetz said. Moments ago, Speaker Mccarthy endorsed an Impeachment Inquiry. This is a baby step following weeks of pressure from house conservatives to do more. We must move faster. Reporter and if House Leadership thought that opening the Impeachment Inquiry was going to try and get some of those house conservatives to get together and back some kind of shortterm funding bill, its clear from that speech on the floor today from matt gaetz, that is not happening. If it feels like there is a lot of moving parts to this, boris, its because there are right now. The House Speaker is trying to deal with a series of crises, and obviously this news today that hes opening an Impeachment Inquiry will take up a lot of time in the house. And theres only 2 1 2 weeks to form a government. So a lot of work left to do. That deadline is looming on the horizon. Lauren, what about these Republican Committee chairs, have they taken any investigative steps since the announcement this morning. Reporter yeah, they have launched and announced that they are moving forward with their own steps. In some ways, these are the same committees that have been investigating these investigating hunter biden and joe biden over the course of the last several months. The house ways and means committee, the house judiciary committee, they will continue their work. Now its under this umbrella that is much more formal of impeachment, or an inquiry which they argue will help them get answers and documents more quickly. Well have to wait and see if that bears down. Lauren fox on capitol hill, thank you so much. Lets discuss this with a former federal prosecutor. So an Impeachment Inquiry to find more evidence, not that they have evidence that is leading them to start an impeachment proceeding here. What kind of precedent does this set . I have to say, its extremely aggressive. Its really i think its set even apart from the Impeachment Inquiry into bill clinton, which had some disastrous political consequences for that party, because they were doing after there had already been a completed investigation by an independent counsel. Here, what we have, of course, is a multiyear investigation of Hunter Biden By A Federal Prosecutor appointed by donald trump. Ultimately found very little in terms of criminality. And i think this is a sad day, because it is definitely a use of the Impeachment Power for a purpose that really is more like it looks a lot like ordinary politics. Nancy mace, who is a house republican, who has raised concerns about what some of the political blowback might be, even as she is supporting this, says that she understands that this will enable the committees to seek joe bidens banking records. Do you think that they will get access to that . I think thats possible. You know, frankly, ironically, it was a multiyear stonewalling by the Trump Administration that established some good evidence on the ability of congress to get records. So, yeah, the authority of the house Impeachment Inquiry to get evidence is significant. I have to make some showing, the courts are generally differential to the house, so i think that they could use this as a way of getting more records, obviously critics will argue thats an abuse of that power, because, you know, thats not typically the purpose for which Impeachment Inquiry is launched. Usually, its because there is evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors that have been uncovered, but that debate will continue. So does impeachment lose its seriousness if there is nothing there, or if the process is used to just create the illusion that there is something . Yeah, look, theres a Disinformation Element to it, right . In other words, the mere fact of impeachment, its been such a serious thing in our nations history, not used very often. If this starts becoming a routine method for the other Political Party that is in the opposite party of the president , to essentially get evidence to try to find embarrassing things about the current president in power, really this ends up becoming something that happens in both or all administrations by both parties all the time. So its not where we want to end up as a country. Its fair to say that the individuals who framed and drafted our constitution did not anticipate. Unfortunately, its something that the house has the power to do, but not really a check or balance until or unless theres a vote. Thank you so much for talking with us about this. We appreciate it. Jim . We are following Breaking News. Minutes from now, the Justice Department will hold a News Conference on the tyre nichols case. This comes after he learned that five former memphis Police Officers involved in his fatal beat thing past january have now been indicted on federal charges. Cnns Nick Valencia has been following the story. Tell us what the reaction is from one of the defendants attorneys. Reporter yeah, we reached out to all five defendants attorneys but havent been able to get in touch with anyone except for one. Just in our brief conversation, he says that these federal charges are going to complicate the Defense Strategy they had laid out for his defendant, mills. He said in part that this is different from what the state is alleging. This is going to cause us to change gears a little bit. Going on to say, this adds another layer of things well have to look into and investigate. This is new from what the state is alleging. So lets get into what the federal indictment alleges. Its two charges. One, witness tampering. The other, the Deprivation Of Civil Rights. Each charge has two counts, and essentially what the feds are saying, its not just the incident but somewhat happened after the incident and what the officers said or didnt say to investigators. The doj saying that there was a deliberate attempt by these defendants to mislead the investigators to try to withhold the truth. This is the crux of somewhat they are saying about the Deprivation Of Civil Rights of tyre nichols, that incident in january, saying martin bean, haley mills and smith unlawfully assaulted nichols and failed to intervene in the unlawful assault, resulting in the Bodily Injury to and death of tyre nichols. The state is moving forward in its case. The defendants are expected in court later this month, and a reminder to our viewers, remember, doj involvement in memphis might sound familiar. In july, they announced a plan for a practices and patterns investigation into the police department, saying information indicated there was a disproportioning targeting of black motorists in the city. We have this case going on and we are expecting an official announcement from the doj to these charges here just in an under hour. Jim . An expansion of that case new york question. Nick, thank you so much. Boris . The manhunt for an escaped murderer has take an very dangerous turn. Pennsylvania state Police Say Danelo Cavalcante is now armed with a rifle that is equipped with a scope that he stole from an open garage. And cnn has just obtained Court Records that shed new light on how cavalcante thinks. The transcripts of his sisters testimony at his murder trial. Investigators say the victim, cavalcantes exgirlfriend, was stabbed 38 times. Now, the sister testified that cavalcante told her he didnt know if the woman was dead or alive. The prosecutor asked was he calm, was he angry, was he sad . How would you describe his demeanor . The sister responds, i couldnt really identify, because he always had a calm demeanor. He seemed okay to me. The prosecutor goes only, so his demeanor was the same during this phone call that had always been with you . The sister replies, yes. Lets go now to chester county, pennsylvania, with danny freeman, who has been following this from the beginning. Police seem confident that cavalcante is within this new search area they have established. Reporter thats right, boris. Thats one thing police have continued to be confident about throughout this manhunt, that when they establish a perimeter, they believe that Danelo Cavalcante is inside of it. The most recent time they set up a perimeter before this time, he was able to slip out. But after the two sightings last night, police are displaying confidence that they are closing in on him. As you can see right here, were at the intersection of State Route 23 and the northeastern most side of this perimeter. A lot of Police Activity right in this intersection. We have been seeing Armored Vehicles coming in, as late as this afternoon. A lot of troopers standing out here, checking every car before it tries to go into this perimeter. Boris, i want to go over the things we did learn in this Press Conference about these two sightings. The first one happening around 8 00 p. M. , when police say a woman who was driving in the area where cavalcante ditched that dairy van he stole over the weekend, she said she believes she saw him crouching down on the road. Police came, they didnt find him but they did find foot prints in the mud and his prison issued sneakers. Less than two hours later at around 10 10 in the evening, Police Responded to an incident at an open garage, and thats what you described earlier, where cavalcante was said to have stolen that rifle that had a scope on it. Also a flashlight on it. And that resident, who owned the house inside the garage, shot at cavalcante. Take a listen to what the Law Enforcement said about his own mindset now that Danelo Cavalcante has this weapon. We consider him desperate and dangerous. All this does is confirm for us that he has a weapon. Is he desperate enough to use that weapon on Law Enforcement of . Hes killed two people previously. I would suspect hes desperate enough to use that weapon. Reporter now, a few of the things, boris, i would like to add. First, police have no reason to believe that Danelo Cavalcante was injured during that period of gunfire last night. They got there to the scene within minutes. But they still were not able to capture him. One last thing is that police said cavalcante is familiar with this area, that hes now on the loose in. Hes been here before, and no doubt making the challenge of capturing him more challenging on day 13 of this manhunt. Boris . Yeah, a terrain that officials have said is very complex with a Tunnel System and a very wooded area, all sorts of places for someone like that to hide. Danny freeman, thank you so much for the update. Brianna . Still to come, it could be the biggest antitrust case in decades. Google and the Justice Department facing off in court today.
