. >> let's go to capitol hill and lauren fox. lauren, there is a bipartisan group of senators engaged on talks on this issue. where do the discussions stand right now? >> well, they're in their infancy at this point. lawmakers departing washington last week for a week-long recess. i'm told the negotiations aren't going to stop just because members are not in this building today. instead, what you can expect is a flurry of phone calls over the next several days as senator chris murphy, a democrat from the state of connecticut who has been trying to negotiate this issue for years now, he is going to be committed and leading this effort on the democratic side. you also can expect that senator john cornyn, a republican from the state of texas who has been dispatched by mitch mcconnell to lead the republican side of this effort is also going to be engaged in these conversations. but again, what they are looking at is really a narrow set of provisions. things like incentivizing states to pass more red flag laws as well as strengthening

lauren fox is live on capitol hill for us. i understand you just spoke exclusively to mitch mcconnell. what did he tell you? >> well, mcconnell making it clear to us that he met this morning with senator john cornyn, the senior senator from texas, who was just back in his state yesterday talking to legal officials and grieving families, and he said he made it clear to texas senator cornyn that he wanted him to engage with democratic colleagues, people like senator kyrsten sinema as well as chris murphy to try to find a solution that is directly related to what transpired in texas. now, this negotiation really could signal the beginning of very important talks, because for months murphy and cornyn had tried to find some consensus on background checks and just couldn't get there. it's important to remember that mcconnell often doesn't issue eddics to his members. he likes members to get to con cus collusions on their own, but it's important that you have your leadership's blessings when talking about gun reform legislation. this

cnn's lauren fox is live on capitol hill with the latest on this. there are talks, lauren. how are they going? >> reporter: well, it was a significant departure yesterday when senator chuck schumer the majority leader made it clear that he is going to give democrats some time to try to reach across the aisle, to try to negotiate with their republican colleagues on gun legislation. senator chris murphy, a democrat from connecticut who is leading this process, told me yesterday he already had had several conversations with the republicans trying to see if there was anything that they could do, whether that was something on background checks or red flag laws, mental health legislation, anything that they could do to try to move the needle forward. he told me, quote, he is a sucker for trying to find some kind of bipartisan bill, but, like you said, republicans having a private conversation during their conference lunch yesterday afternoon, but not coming up with any consensus of what their party might be willing to support. at the end of the daytime can be the enemy here with

. >> lauren fox joins us from capitol hill. lauren, good morning. what are you hearing? should he be hopeful? >> reporter: well, this meeting today is going to be significant, poppy, in part because it is occurring when lawmakers are not even in washington. they view this issue as so important, so imminent, they need to take action now. so the zoom call taking place today among a bipartisan group of senators and senator john cornyn, a republican from texas, addressed his plans for this call yesterday, when he was back in the states saying that his hope is that members will lean toward the middle. and he said he plans to do the same to find some kind of resolution on something like an expanded background check bill, or legislation to give greater access to mental healthcare in this country. now, cornyn did address that there may be other steps that other states want to take that go beyond those measures. he said that is going to be action that states should be addressing in their own legislatures with their own governors, what would work in one state like new jersey or ne

. >> cnn's lauren fox is on capitol hill. so lauren, what have you learned? >> well, it was a busy day yesterday for the house ethics committee as they announced these separate investigations, the first into representative madison cawthorn, a republican from the state of north carolina who you may remember -- whether or not he engaged in insider trading. cawthorn's chief of staff reached out to cnn telling us that they looked forward to clearing his name through this probe. there's also a separate investigation into representative ronny jackson. he's a republican from texas. the ethics committee looking into whether or not he may have misused campaign funds at a dinner club in amarillo, texas. his lawyer has denied any wrong doing, and that comes after the office of congressional ethics had done a separate investigation into this matter, which they said jackson did not participate in. however, his lawyer did respond to that investigation. there's also an investigation into representative alex mooney, a republican from the state of west virginia who is going t

>> lauren fox with the latest for us on capitol hill. thank you. >>> we've also learned first lady jill biden will travel overseas this week to meet with ukrainian refugees. she'll visit romania, slovakia, and spend time with educators there teaching some refugees. the first lady set to meet with top-level government officials and u.s. troops stationed overseas. >>> concerns mounting that vladimir putin could deploy chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons against ukraine. republican congressman adam kinzinger passed a resolution that if passed would authorize president biden to use military force against russia. >> it doesn't compel the president to do it. it just says, if it is used, he has that leverage. it gives him a better flexibility, but also it is a deterrent to vladimir putin. prior to world war ii, there were moments nobody ever wanted to get involved and eventually came to realize they had to. i hope we don't get to that point here. but we should be ready if we do. >> we're joined by mark hertling, former commanding gener

lauren fox joins me now from capitol hill. you and i have talked about this before at different moments where action did not happen after an initial sort of flurry of activity here but we are hearing, joe walsh on the air a short time ago, others hearing from republicans that this time may be different. i'm curious what do you hear and do you believe it? >> reporter: well, i think the context is important here, jim. we are talking about a much smaller universe of what might be possible up here on capitol hill. you are not talking about resurrecting an assault weapons ban, something that would have barred the shooter from being able to purchase an ar-15 but instead a narrow scope of options that republicans and democrats are going to try to hammer out over the next couple of days. lawmakers are away from washington for the next week. we will see if this momentum continues, but we're looking at a universe of things like universal background checks, something much more scaled back, though, something along the lines of what manchi

. >> cnn's lauren fox joins us now. nobody went easy on the fda commissioner today. >> reporter: that's right. it wasn't just republicans, but democrats and allies of the president who were going after the fda commissioner, arguing they should have had answers sooner as to what went wrong with this formula shortage, why weren't they told sooner that this was coming? and over and over again, he made it clear this investigation at the fda is ongoing. and he did not provide them the kinds of detailed answers that they wanted and that they were looking for. you had at one point, rosa delora, saying which side are you on, the side of corporations or on the side of consumers and babies that need this formula? you also had this exchange from a progressive representative from wisconsin. >> there's frustration when you were asked what happened, and the answer you gave back is it's being investigated and you can't talk about it. you should talk about it. one problem i've seen over and over with the fda in my ten years here, you g

they know that time is the enemy here. >> lauren fox, thank you so much. great reporting. >>> these high-profile mass shootings perpetrated by gunmen in their late teens coming at a time when the federal judiciary, many of them trump appointees, have increasingly ruled against gun control limits aimed at people who are under 21 years old. citing historical record that teenagers were in the militia when the second amendment was adopted in the u.s. let's bring in the anchor of "early start" and cnn correspondent laura jarrett to tell us more about this. tell us about this point that they are arguing. >> hey, brianna, good morning. so here is what we know, let's start with the data. the data shows teens are responsible for a disproportionate share of gun violence in this country, yet the laws currently on the books don't address that reality in a uniform way. take a look at this, only 19 states have passed laws requiring someone to be 21 years old to purchase a handgun. when it comes to long guns, like the types of guns that we see in so many of these mat sho

lauren blanchard, fox news senate republicans have suggested they can be open to negotiations on new gun control measures. but democrats say getting a bill passed will be an uphill battle. i've been charlie brown, uh, enough times to know that up until now, the football has been pulled out from under me every single time. still the tragedy in vivaldi seems to be striking a chord on capitol hill seems to be democrats say the six that's six of 12. republicans have indicated interest in possible legislation. a new poll underscores strong support for gun control nationwide, the political morning consult poll shows 88% support background checks on all gun sales 75% are in favor of a national database for all gun sales. and 67% support a ban on assault style weapons. and as we just showed you earlier, the national rifle association's convention did go on as scheduled. in houston. thousands of protesters showed up outside the convention center. some were signs with the names of the you've aldi school shooting victims. former president donald trump addressed the conference this evening. he s

but as foxes lauren blanchard reports for investigators say there are still many unanswered questions tonight. a frustrated community is demanding answers on how a gunman was able to get into the elementary school unobstructed. a number of state and federal agencies are piecing together tuesday's timeline after an 18 year old gunman opened fire inside rob elementary school for roughly an hour. 19 kids are dead, plus two teachers, texas department of public safety officials say the gunman walked onto campus and through an unlocked door. the school safety officer was not there at the time. he then barricaded himself in a classroom. eventually border patrol agents were able to shoot and kill the gunman was a lot of gunfire in the beginning. during. the negotiations. there wasn't much gunfire other than trying to keep the officers at bay. but that could change depending as once we analyze the video. there are also questions why it happened. investigators are looking into s are growing as pe flowers, cards and pictures. jorge rodriguez was seen holding a picture of his late grandson as he

this is what he told to lauren fox. i have encouraged him to talk with senator murphy and cisinem and others who are interested in trying to get an out come directly related to the problem. i'm hopeful that we can come up with a booich ipartisan solutio. this could be the signal for very important talks. in the past republicans have not met democratic colleagues at the table on these issues of gun safety legislation. and now whether the scope of these discussions remains to be seen, that is a huge question mark, but still it is very important that they are now engaging and that senator john cornyn is going to discuss this with his democratic colleagues. he actually met with senator murphy and said that he had touched, quote, touched gloves with murphy and he said that their talks are just getting started. so this is just the beginning. now remember, the senate is actually in recess right now, they left town last night, so this will take some time. it won't be an immediate solution on some sort of gun safety reform. but

. >> cnn congressional correspondent lauren fox is with us now from capitol hill. so, lauren, what more are you learning from lawmakers today as they react to this leak? >> reporter: there's a lot more shock and frustration, victor, where elizabeth warren is coming from. and it is coming from not just democrats but also some republicans. there are, of course, concerns about the fact that this very deliberative process at the supreme court leaked out, no matter how iterative it was back in february. there's also concerns from many democrats that the entire integrity of the confirmation process is really on the line now, because if you remember, in those confirmation hearings, you had people like brett kavanaugh saying that he believed that roe vs. wade was settled law. and you have some republicans, senator susan collins, specifically, who made her entire vote for kavanaugh contingent on the fact that he had said that in private meetings and in an open hearing. she said in a statement, quote, if the leak draft opinion is the final decision, and this reporting is acc

cnn congressional correspondent lauren fox has the details. >> reporter: yeah, house speaker nancy pelosi's husband, paul pelosi who's 82 years old was arrested on saturday for driving under the influence of alcohol. this incident transpired in northern california. he was driving his porsche, and according to the police documents, crossed into state road 29 in napa county. now, he was struck, his vehicle was struck by a jeep who was traveling. no one was injured in that accident, but around 11:45 p.m., he's arrested and taken into custody for driving under the influence of alcohol. he's then released around 5:00 in the morning on sunday. now, i reached out to house speaker nancy pelosi's office to get a comment yesterday. they said that they will not be commenting on further as what they view as a private incident, but they did clarify that house speaker nancy pelosi was not in the vehicle. she was actually on the east coast because she gave the commencement address yesterday at brown university. now, this incident is going to be further investigated by napa county officials, but again, hou

of course, cnn's lauren fox joins us now. lauren, talk to us about these discussions and where the common ground might be. >> well, they're going to pick up today, really, john, after this memorial day holiday. you can expect that lawmakers are going to get on a zoom today to have a bipartisan discussion, one of the earliest discussions about what is actually possible. and senator john cornyn, a republican from texas, adressed this yesterday when he was back in his home state saying that he thought that there were a couple of things that lawmakers could be discussing, things in the universe of the possible. and he specifically cited mental health legislation, access to mental healthcare in this country needing to be boosted. he also talked about background checks needing to be expanded. now, those are two areas that he has worked for many months, even years with senator chris murphy, the leading democrat to try to work out. but he said he hoped and he was optimistic that lawmakers would be able it lean feorward, to len toward

fox and cnn's phil mattingly. at the nra this weekend, you heard trump, you heard cruz, trump talking about doors. that is how doors work. they lock on the inside and they let people from the outside not come in. but everything but talking about the guns. that is the one thing after all this time that has not changed. >> yeah. it wouldn't surprise me trump and cruz wouldn't be for gun control. i think it's the possibility of having something done in congress, which i think is also not likely. i think he's more possible than he has been in previous years. in part, because i think democrats are willing to do an incremental bill, abbey, and something that's not going to be ambitious that could potentially find ten republicans. i'm not saying it's going to happen. it's more in play than it has been for years. >> yeah, i think the contours of the discussion we'll talk about that a little later on capitol hill, it will be really important. as we look back at what we have learned this week, the school in uvalde was in a

. >> lauren fox is live for us on capitol hill. leader schumer saying i'll give this time. let's come at it this way. what is possible? what might happen? >> well, what lawmakers aren't talking about is an assault weapons ban. things to limit gun ownership in this country. instead, they are talking about red flag laws. those laws that would block people from being able to access a gun in a moment of crisis if their family or others think they may be a danger to themselves or to others. they're also looking at background check measures, potentially expanding those and closing loopholes that exist in the system, and they're looking at trying to help people access mental health care. those are much narrower measures than what you've heard in the past, but you expect today that cornyn and murphy are going to sit down and have some conversations. here's what cornyn told me earlier about what is possible and what might not be. >> there's a whole list of things that we could consider, but i think particularly mental health, access to mental health treatment is high on that list. >

lauren fox, thank you so much for that report. >>> now to the investigation in texas, including disturbing new questions about whether lives may have been saved if police acted sooner. remember, 78 minutes passed from the time the shooter entered the school and police shot and killed him. so let's break down the timeline. based on information provided by 911 calls and the texas department of public safety. the first 911 call actually comes in at 11:30 a.m. before the suspect enters the school. the suspect crashed a truck into a ditch near the school. police say he starts shooting at civilians at a nearby funeral home prompting that call. still outside, the shooter then fires shots at the school at 11:32 a.m. one minute later, at 11:33, as seen in this video, he enters robb elementary through a back door that a teacher had propped open, according to law enforcement. he begins shooting into one of the classrooms. police say he fired more than 100 rounds. two minutes later, 11:35 a.m., three police officers enter the school through the same door the shooter had. the shooter fires at them thro
