Watch. Keep us posted and i appreciate you joining us today. Thank you. Hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me. Im fredricka whitfield. This Breaking News in the manhunt for escaped Inmate Danelo as they say cavelconte is no longer in the area, even though the fugitive was seen driving this van stolen from the nearby dairy farm. They say they recovered the van without him inside. There was a wealth of information but the bottom line is they still dont know where he is and they have expanded the search, polo. Reporter and this, fred, if you look at it will prove to be a significant setback for investigators as they have been searching for this 34yearold con convicted killer for 11 days. A wealth of information we learned from Pennsylvania State authorities including keys from a dairy farm had been left in that vehicle and thats what provided him with the ability to actually get movings , to get mobile and eventually he was traced during the overnight hours to just outside of what was described by authorities as a work acquaintances home, knocking on that door and captured on Surveillance Video and it has provided video of him wearing a hooded sweat shirt that was from the dairy farm as he was trying to get assistance there and it was later that that van was abandoned just west of that location. Authorities telling me earlier today that he literally ran out of gas. So he ditched that vehicle and that rural part of pennsylvania is now the general space or at least the general region that investigators believe that this convicted killer could be hiding. Look, this is certainly going to be for those following this investigation and manhunt a difficult and Disappointing Development as authorities said they were fairly confident they had contained him in a perimeter just a short distance from where he originally escaped in late august and now the region and the country waking up to news that he has essentially escaped that area and that authorities a the this point dont know where he is and, as we heard from the Lieutenant Colonel a little while ago, theyve been very clear there is no excuse for that happening. Im not going to make an excuse to you. I wish it had not happened. Unfortunately, there are a lot of circumstances, there are a lot of issues associated with that property. Tunnels, very large drainage ditches, things that could not be secured. You couple that with weather, aviation being down for a night, there are a number of reasons. Again, no excuses. He also confirmed that his own sister in custody. He would not elaborate on why. The question of whether hes getting assistance from family and friends, they say theyre trying to take steps to eliminate that assistance. His actions suggest to investigators he is desperate, he is quite literally knocking on doors of those that he knew to try to get any help and criticism certainly mounting for this agency that has still been unable to track him down, even with the support of hundreds of men and women in law enforcement. All right, keep us posted as you learn more. Thank you. All right right now, President Biden is in vietnam. Its part of a Major National swing and comes amid heightened tension with china. Earlier today the president met with vietnams General Secretary and later he pushed back against comments out of china that his trip seemed focus on containing chinas influence in the region. Jeremy dimon is in hanoi. What is the president hoping to accomplish overall on this trip . Reporter well, fred, certainly President Biden came to new delhi and here to hanoi, vietnam, with a mission, to try to provide a counterweight to chinas growing influence in the region and developing world. We saw that on display at the g20 as President Biden sought to reach out to developing countries showing with his presence, trying to make the case the u. S. Is the more reliability and effective partner for the future. And today inking a new highlevel partnership with vietnam, a comprehensive, Strategic Partner with vietnam, on par with countries like russia and a sign that like several other countries in the region with whom President Biden has sought to forge closer ties with in recent months that there is growing concern about the way in which china throws around its military and economic heft in the region. But even as the president took hes steps, which he insisted are not solely aimed in china, yet every expert says this is all about china, the president tried to make clear he is not seeking to contain that second largest economy in the world. What this trip is about, it was less about containing china. I dont want to contain china. I just want to make sure we have a relationship with china that is on the up and up, squared away. As i said, were not looking to hurt china, sincerely. Were all better off if china does well. Now the question is will President Biden be able to me with chinas president xi jinping. Theres been speculation they could meet at the apex summer in november. The president would not confirm that today. So far the u. S. Is in treaties with the chinese as weve seen Cabinet Secretary after Cabinet Secretary dispatched to beijing to try and deepen the relationship between the two countries, to reestablish militarytomilitary communications. So far that has yet to bare any tangible fruit. Well see if the president is able to be successful in that regards. So far china appears to be resisting reestablishing relations along the same rules of the road that have existed now for decades. I did get a chance to shout a Brief Question to the president at the end as he was leaving the stage and i asked him a request about human rights. Thats because vietnam is one of the worst offenders of press freedom in the world, its the th Third Largest jailer of journalists and when i asked the president about that, he said i dont put anything above human rights and he insisted that he has raised human right issues with every leader hes met, including here in hanoi. Fred . Jeremy dimon, thank so much. Lets talk more about that this and bring in National Security analyst david sanger. David great to see you. Good to see you, fred. How important was the trip to china and his most recent comments this morning . I think it was an important trip. Its a big effort to try to hem in china in the pacific where china has made great inroads in areas we were paying insufficient attention to from the Solomon Islands to new guinea, the philippines and vietnam. And what was interesting about this trip, to my mind, fred, was that we have gone from early president ial trips to vietnam. Bill clinton did the first. I was on that. George bush did one. And they were still trying to sort out the relationship after the vietnam war. You didnt hear any mention of the vietnam war in the course of this. You only heard discussion of coming together as a Strategic Partner even though, fred, the president knows as he read it in the New York Times that the russians recently signed a secret deal to provide arms to vietnam. So the vietnamese are playing both sides. Mm. And you talk about chinas involvement and you just heard the president kind of reiterate his sentiment that hes not trying to contain china. He said if anything, all of us are better off if china does well. Hes sending signals to china as opposed to the whisperings, i guess, sending communications for him. How beneficial might that be . So the chinese see what the u. S. Is doing as containment or at least so they say they do. And i can understand why it looks that way. Biden has been much more successful than any of his recent predecessors, including President Trump and president obama in cutting off exports to china that are useful for military purposes but that are also critical to chinas development in the most high tech industries. That includes doing highend semiconductors, it includes the hardware you need and much of the software to do Artificial Intelligence and to do quantum computing. So when the chinese look at this, they say, well, youre not just trying to stop our military from developing, youre also trying to keep china from being a competitor in the biggest, most Profitable Industries of the future. And theyre not wrong in that. This trip comes after, you know, a South Korea Summit at camp david, a state dinner with the indian Prime Minister and a white house visit from the president of the philippines all really within the last few months. What does this tell you about what the president s focus is and why he feels like its really important to reinforce these relationships in this part of the world . Its a fullon push. Part of the reason for that is that china has been pretty successful in africa, latin america, parts of europe, getting their equipment in, huawei telecommunications, aid through the belton Road Initiative and the United States has really sort of sat back and not had a plan to count er it. I think its to the credit of the Biden Administration they have figured out that the way you do this is with alliances. You start with Treaty Ealigns that include japan, australia and china and its even part of the effort to woo india, which has clearly not sided with the United States and its allies on the invasion of ukraine. A disappointment of this trip was that the statement on ukraine that came out of the g20 meeting in india was very watered down and did not call for the russians to get out of the country. And why not do you suppose . Because russia and china are both members of the g20 and these are consensus documents. But they werent there. They were not there. Their president s were not there but their representatives were. And so they still had a vote. So missing in action here were of course putin, xi jinping, president zelenskyy, who usually shows up at big summits to try to attract more aid. So that tells you the world is not quite as with us on the Ukraine Agenda as President Biden would like you to think. David sanger, thanks so much. Great to see you. Great to see you.

All eyes are on Donald Trumps legal team in georgia now that a federal judge has rejected former white house Chief Of Staff mark meadows bid to move his case to Federal Court. The judge found the allegations on meadows on Election Subversion charges were largely related to Political Activities and not to meadows role as trumps Chief Of Staff. Meadows has appealed the ruling and trumps lawyers have signaled in recently that they may ask for his case to be moved to Federal Court. The meadows decision came on friday, the same day the full Special Grand Jury report was released and that report provides new insight into the 2020 Election Subversion investigation in georgia. It shows the panel wanted to indict 39 people in the pr sprawling racketeering case, including senator graham, n Senator Purdue and michael flynn. And im jouined here in studio with karen morrison, a former federal prosecutor and an Associate Professor at Georgia State universitys college of law. Good to see both of you. Karen, since youre right here, lets go to you first. We are already hearing that Donald Trumps attorneys may try to follow suit, hoping for a different outcome by trying to get his georgia case moved to the federal level. Right. Might these be mirror, i guess, you know, requests and a Mirror Outcome or will the circumstances be different . I think the circumstances if anything are a little less favorable for donald trump. I think mark meadows had probably the strongest case for removal to Federal Court and obviously his case was not that strong since he lost. So i think that the chances for all the other defendants who are trying to move their cases to Federal Court are looking a little grim right now. However, mark meadows is appealing. You just explained to me in break, his appeal is on the federal level, even though the case remains, you know, in a georgia court. Sometimes it takes a long time for the federal appellate process to weigh in. How might that coincide with what the District Attorney is hoping to be an october trial date . Well, if theres no decision from the Federal Court of appeals in the 11th circuit, then the court case in georgia is going to continue. So i very much doubt that the georgia judge is going to try all 19 defendants at once on october 23rd, but if that were to happen, then that would just start, regardless of the federal appeal. And jeffrey with the judges decision, denying his request to move his trial to Federal Court, do you expect that in any way whatever plea donald trump makes, he will make some adjustments so that perhaps the judge may render a different decision . Well, he would have to make an adjustment if hes looking to prevail on the motion because he would probably and most like have to testify since the defendants had the burden of proof on a Removal Motion and mark meadows testified and probably exposed himself to perjury or potential perjury or inconsistent statements and he made some statements as well which could cause trouble for donald trump. So if donald trump does try to remove this matter, i think the only reasons he would be doing it is for delay, as hes trying to push his trial date back. And, you know, he hasnt asked for the speedy trial like others have, so it would push his trial date back and hes hoping to push it past the election. And let me hpivot to the release of the grand jury repor
