attention of the archbishops' council... what's their mental state like? they are — their mental state is horrendous. i've listened to one survivor describe to me her suicide plan. i've had a survivor telling me they've taken two overdoses since. i've shared all this with the church of england and what i don't understand is why they will not just sit down and talk with us in terms of developing a plan for these individuals. i can't ignore them and i am not going to ignore them... crosstalk. well, the church says it's not ignoring them, either. it points to the fact it has now appointed a new sort of independent supervisor of the whole safeguarding scene, that is — i think we've referred to her already — professor alexis jay, who ran that independent inquiry on child sex abuse that you referred to. they also point to several other initiatives they've taken, including putting more than — well, over £100 million into programmes to help the victims of historic abuse.
>> all right. fair enough warning. thank you so much for that. >> and let's bring in los angeles county supervisor janis hahn for the very latest. this flash flood warning is in effect through the evening. are you hearing of any potentially dangerous flows right now in the early stages? >> yes. thank you, fredricka. as chair of the los angeles county board of supervisor, i signed our emergency declaration this morning, which means that we will have the full extent of emergency powers for life and property and it lets our federal partners know and our state partners know we know this is a big deal, it's a big emergency and a crisis and we may be calling for mutual aid in the future as we go through this weekend. but, yes, we are seeing flash flood warnings. i have many people who are giving the individual texts to their phones, telling them their street, their neighborhood is under a flood watch. so we are concerned here in los
before it's too late. i think a lot of people maybe won't realize that this storm is here until they actually see it on their street, they see the floods, the downed power lines, but we're trying to get that message out early and get people to safe ground. we don't want any loss of life as a result of this storm. >> all right. we are wishing you and everybody there the best during this storm. supervisor janice hahn, thanks so much. >> thanks, fredricka. >> as we continue to monitor hilary's past into southern california, the storm has already lashed out on parts of mexico. we'll show you the damage there. plus, what we're learning about the biden administration's plan to ensure the safety and preparation of california. those details straight ahead.
disheartening, we know that homelessness, mentalilness, they are linked together. if we don't have a mayor that cares issue not soros backed, we will continue to see this vicious cycle. >> kayleigh: gavin newsom's future hinges on san francisco and it is about how his political future is inextricably linked and we know it and took his cabinet to tour the district and said look at open-air drug markets, we need to fix it and he has been moonlighting as a executive, seems like gavin newsom realizes we have to get this in order. good luck. >> dagen: some supervisor in san francisco who is against law enforcement who wants to have a hearing to talk about all the car theft straight from the gavin newsom playbook. a district is ditching historic
february. he previously had been working as an inspector general inside of the kemp administration. he was appointed to that role in early 2021. and previous before that, he worked in the capacity to former assistant u.s. attorney in the northern district of georgia, but also before he took that role, he had actually worked inside of the fulton county district attorney's office. fani willis was technically his supervisor. but for scott mcafee here, this is a big case that if, in fact, he ultimately oversees here for scott mcafee, of course, he's not faced the attacks of donald trump yet, yet the former president has seemed to never hold back against anybody, even if they are republican appointed judges, for instance, even in the aftermath of the 2020 election he went on the attack against the u.s. supreme court justices that he himself had nominated to the bench here. so, for scott mcafee right now there is a lot of waiting and seeing in terms of exactly the role that he will play in this
saying he couldn't be trusted because he allowed hunter biden to strike a sweetheart deal in the first place and this idea that the special counsel investigation is now going to impede the investigation allows them to continue to further their attacks on the biden administration and this idea that they've been pushing that the justice department has been weaponized and has the fbi and law enforcement in general against republicans and that this is just the latest example of that. but you know, as you just noted, months ago, there were republicans who were clambering about this very idea that there wasn't a special counsel apointed. they claimed and touted the testimony of whistleblowers like the irs supervisor who was working closely on this case, that he said weiss had asked to be special counsel and that garland had rejected it.
it's a strategic decision she'll have to make. she's no stranger to bringing rico indictments. she understands how to strike the balance in these early stages so that her evidence can go in at trial the way she wants it to go in, and something that folks who aren't from the south, and may not be familiar with fani willis need to know is that while she's the elected district attorney in fulton county, she's someone with a deep background, doing complicated cases herself. she's not the bus, the supervisor, she's the bus who's been there charging rico in some very unusual situations. one involving educators in the atlanta area who were involved in a fraudulent test score rigging scheme. and so she took rico out of its native territory, organized crime, and used it very successfully in that incident. >> known as a tough on crime prosecutor, lisa, let's talk about donald trump's own words and the way that he has gone after not just fani willis and the judges and witnesses
at. he told jim jordan in a letter, i have been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding when, where, and whether to file charges. and he says he stands by what he wrote. are you saying that he's lying here? >> all i know is what he told us on october 7th. and i documented right then that i sent to a supervisor. they confirmed that that's what was said on october 7th. then you have the june 7th letter before our testimony, the house ways and means committee was released, where united states attorney weiss says he has full authority. after our testimony is released and he realizes what was released by ways and means committee, on the june 30th letter, he says, again, he has that full authority. in the next paragraph he immediately says, but my authority is geographically limited to delaware. then he says, well, he has to partner -- his departmental
denied it and told him to follow the process. that is cooperated. there were seven people there. two people at that meeting have corroborated what happened so far and there have been no contradictions. >> i think there is confusion because you said after this and he stated he is not the it deciding person on whether charges are filed but has said the opposite. he told jim jordan in a letter i have been granted ultimate authority over this matter including responsibility for deciding when, where and whether to file charges and he says he stands by what he wrote. are you saying that he's lying here? >> all i know is what he told us on october 7th that i documented right then that i sent to a supervisor. they confirmed that what was said.
>> at 5:53 a. m. a security camera captured michelle's car as it arrived at the parking lot. she stopped by the warehouse's time clock and headed upstairs to her office. about an hour later, a supervisor named ed noticed a big stain on the upstairs hallway carpet. he started looking arounded the area with the help of coworker, the janitor, david dooley. >> ed was out on the mezzanine just part of the ways, and i was holding the door. and there was just -- he said, there's a dead body laying there. >> what did it look like? >> i just saw from the knees down. i didn't see the whole thing. but honestly i'm glad i didn't look because i'd never been around anything like that. it was kind of frightening for me. >> someone inside thermo fisher had killed michelle mockbee. but who? and just as puzzling, why? >> coming up -- >> what was in that office that
