details. manu, walk us through what police say happened? >> yeah. this is a harrowing incident. in fact, i just got off the phone with the congressman himself, jerry connelly, a democrat from virginia who determined how this individual came into his office today and someone not known to the congressman and used a metal bat and attacked one of his senior aides in the head and connelly said hit one of his interns on first day on the head on the side. these injuries are serious, but not life-threatening at the moment, but this individual came to his office looking for the congressman himself. the congressman was at an event for a ribbon cutting for a food bank nearby, and was not in the office, but connolly told me that this individual had, quote, out-of-control rage, used this metal bat to damage his office, glass in his office breaking

computers and including in a conference room that had lots of glass in that room, as well and just moments ago fairfax county police just wrapped up a press conference and not indicating what the motive was of this individual saying that it is still under investigation, but providing a little bit more detail about what happened. >> i -- oh, this is local, fairfax county, adult male resides in fairfax county. >> you have no idea what motivated? >> no motive at this time. >> any history or anything like that? >> they're using that in the investigation and that will be put out shortly in a press release. >> you will step up patrols here? >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. >> did he park up top here? >> up top. >> did he go anywhere else when he was in there? do we know? >> that i don't believe, so, it was one mission.

>> police have not yet released the name of the individual and connolly did not know who this person was and there was no note or anything like that and it is unclear exactly what this person was after, but there's no question about this. a scary incident and two aides injured and one hit on the head with this metal bat according to congressman connolly and another on the side and coming on the day of political violence that we've seen across the spectrum and whether it was last year and nancy pelosi's home where an assailant came in and attacked her husband with the hammer onned head and dating back to '17 where the baseball diamond shooting that injured the house and now house majority leader steve scalise. we've seen this happen time and again and today congressman connolly's office in virginia. >> a harrying and senseless attack and we hope to get more details from investigators soon. manu raju, thank you very much.

brianna? >> the u.s. boarder with mexico is experiencing a huge slowdown. officials confirmed they've had half as many daily encounters compared to title 42 last week. the pandemic policy let the u.s. quickly expel undocumented arrivals, but it expired thursday night. officials say it is too early to know why fewer migrants are coming and authorities believe that the warnings in illegal entry are piercing the misinformation. >> what we are seeing is people really making a use of lawful pathways in a big way, parole processes, family reunification processes and gifting labor pathways and we're starting to see the shift of people understanding that it is to their advantage and rather to put their lives in the hands of an unscrupulous actor in the region. >> still the question will that

slow in the surge continue to l last? border cities and towns are preparing. brownsville schools are about to propose empty district facilities to house migrants. let's go to polo sandoval. tell us about a rivals there today and how things are going. >> so brianna, if you were to sort of summarize the latest in a couple of lines, its apprehensions have been dropping since the expiration of title 42 and the systems that are in place to process individuals and to care for them at the non-profit level, they are certainly still strained and you see a relatively small number of migrants that have been recently released from federal custody and you would have seen much larger numbers and it's not really what we saw especially when you hear from the secretary of the department of homeland security alejandro mayorkas in the rate of apprehensions and

all of the people leading up to title 42 and that's what you will see in the shelters in downtown el paso and a lot of these migrants are passing the time and you may be able to hear a ball getting kicked around with a game of soccer in the streets and these are form of limbo that the migrants find themselves in. they've been processed by federal authorities and they're here waiting to see when their opportunity would be able to purchase a plane or bus ticket north or in some cases they are awaiting a loved one to be released from custody. a woman turned herself into authorities before title 42 and her adult-age daughters have been in custody until the last six days and it wasn't until the last couple of hours that they were processed and released. this goes to my final point the number that will absolutely continue to climb is the number of asylum seekers arriving in some of america's cities.

for example, kcon kone says tomorrow they will be on a bus to houston and it's what i keep hearing over and over again, brianna is that these asylum seekers are killing time until it's their opportunity to head to new york city, of course, but we've heard a lot of denver. >> a lot of denver. brianna? >> polo sandoval in el paso. thank you. jim? possible momentum for ukrainian forces and setbacks for russia. a commander says his are -- we are learning that in the single war the kremlin saw four of its aircraft downed over russian airspace. all of this happened with ukraine's president zelenskyy in western europe shoring up further military aid from nato allies ahead of his country's highly anticipated offensive. sam kylie is in ukraine and sam, you've been watching this closely. you've been there for months and

months and there's been an increase in tempo of long-range attacks and deep behind the lines and these aircraft downed over russian territory and some gains for ukrainians around bakhmut. when you add that up and speak to ukrainians there are we seeing the beginning and the early stages perhaps of this counter offensive? >> well, jim, they insist not as indeed does president zelenskyy. he says they need a little bit more time, but of course, a little bit of disinformation goes a long way when you're trying to put the enemy off working out where you will strike and you strike hard and it's clear and you reported this in the past that the shaping operations for an offensive are ongoing and they're taking the form as you point out of those longer-range attacks and we've seen, i think, unconnected and nonetheless, tactically important advances made by the ukrainians in bakhmut. we just heard from the ukrainian head of intelligence that he

believes that the offensive capability of russia no longer exists, but that they have powerful defensive capabilities, and you then see these downing of aircraft that could indeed have been the result of friendly fire by russia over their own aircraft and possibly shot down over ukraine in ukrainian territory, but collapsed down into the ground in russia and all of it sowing doubt and fear in the minds of russian troops and you say it to zelenskyy to europe when they've come up with a substantial shopping trolley full of pretty powerful military equipment that would again, enable him to go through the logistic structures ahead of this much-wanted physical offensive, jim. >> we know you'll be watching closely and retired brigadier general steve anderson to add all of this up for us.

let's talk about this highly anticipated counter offensive and i remember late last summer and early fall and all of the attention was about the possibility of maybe a push here or a push down here and then the ukrainians did it around and they gained a lot of territory back. so right now we're waiting for a big round offensive and i'll clear that for a moment and i'll put it back up and we're seeing russian aircraft down here. longer artillery and missile strikes further into russian territory and some ukrainian gains here. are we already in this, possibly? >> i like the word you used earlier, jim, which is momentum. i think we're starting to see some momentum shift and i don't think we can call this a counter offensive yet and we have to realize huge challenges that awai await the ukrainians. this is huge. this is the size of the state of pennsylvania. you're talking about perhaps 150,000 troops from the russians dug in now for over 11 months

preparing defensive positions. this is going to be a very, very difficult fight and what the ukrainians will need a lot of and a lot more of is equipment and logistics and they'll be able to surge both equipment and logistics forward because in order to conduct an offense like this they'll have to vastly outnumber in term was fire power the russian foes that await them. >> the defensive positions and by the way, the russians are well dug in here and trenches, et cetera, harder to -- easier to advance than to defend to take back that territory. we know there's been a lot of tension on this. the ukrainians really want f-16s and that's what they don't have. what they do have, and we'll call this map up again here and we have the storm shadow missiles and the long-range cruise missile and triple the range than what we had before and the tanks and they have the abrams coming from the u.s. and they also have armored personnel carriers and key for getting the ukrainian forces forward.

is that enough to gain growth fund? >> it will have to conduct warfare. they'll have to be able to integrate, indirect and direct fire in aviation assets in this incredible area here because we know it's a huge challenge. what they need to do, jim, is they'll have to find a weakness in the line and they'll have to penetrate and once they use mass inn in order to fix that objective, there's no way that they'll be able to take them on head to head, toe to toe and they'll have to surround them and terrorize them and bring them from the flanks and the rear. >> this was one of the key russian gains after the invasion of february and by the way, they expected to have the whole country. they didn't get it, and they didn't get the land bridge here in terms of ukrainian forces if they do attempt to break that? >> it is important, but more important to find some weakness and right now they're conducting

ipb and intelligence prep of the minefield. this 400-mile line, where are they weakest and the when they get there they'll penetrate that's why we have to be ready with the flank attacks and come behind them and terrorize the russians so that they surrender on their own. you have 150,000 russians dug in and it will be a difficult fight. >> to your point, that's what thai did last year. they came around here and they sensed that the russians were caught off guard and they backed up quickly and gained a lot of territory. retired general anderson, always good to have you on. >> thank you, jim. still to come, a florida teacher says that she is under investigation for showing her students a disney movie featuring a gay character. hear from the teacher and the parent who reported her. plus the clock is ticking. the d.a. in fulton county georgia has until the end of the day to respond to a motion from donald trump's attorneys attempting to throw out her

a fifth grade teacher in florida says she is under investigation for showing her students a disney movie that features a character who is both biracial and gay. governor ron desantis signed legislation last year banning materials about sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. in this instance, a parent who is also a school board member, complained to the principal about the movie not being appropriate for students. >> it is not a teacher's job to impose their beliefs upon a child, religious, sexual orientation, gender identity any of the above and allowing movies such as this allows teachers in

opening a door, and please hear me, they assist teachers in opening a door for conversations that have no place in our classrooms. >> cnn's isabel rosales interviewed that teacher. what else can you tell us, isabel, about this investigation and where it stands? >> jenna barbee, the teacher at the center of all of this, she shared with cnn the letter she received from the florida department of education. let's show that on screen here where it reads in part this office has determined an investigation is warranted into allegations that you engaged in inappropriate conduct. so barbee tells me she showed her fifth grade students this disney film "strange world" to teach them about what they were currently studying which was the environment. the film does feature disney's first-ever openly out gay character, but barbee says that the movie is not sexually inappropriate and every student she thought she was following

policy because every student had a signed permission slip from the parent indicating that it was okay to show pg movies and none of them objected to any movie including this particular movie. now we also have the announcement that was sent home to parents which reads, part of it says while not the main plot of the movie, parts of the story involves a male character having an and expressing feelings for another male character. in the future this movie will not be shown. last week there was a school board meeting where a board member shannon rodriguez acknowledged that she was the one who reported barbee to the department of education because her daughter was in that class saying that barbee broke school policy because she did not get specific permission to show this particular film. here's what else the teacher barbee had to say about that school board meeting. >> she tried to tell me at the school board meeting that i opened a door for conversation,

and that i stripped her of her right as a mother to have these conversations with her child. now that it's been brought to the spotlight all of my students are asking, why is that so wrong? why is it inappropriate? why are you in so much trouble because of this little part of the movie and i just have to keep saying no, go ask your parents about it. go talk to your parents about it, but now the door is open even more so because of it being brought to the spotlight. >> and this complaint does stem from that controversial florida law signed by governor ron desantis that banned certain discussions and conduct about sexual orientation or gender identity in the classroom. supporters of that law call it parental rights, but opponents say that this law tries to erase lgbtq people from the classroom dubbing it the don't say gay bill. very quickly, we do have the response from the florida department of education and they say that this complaint will be reviewed by an investigator and

then an attorney will then provide recommendations to a commissioner for the next steps here. brianna? >> we know you'll be watching it. isabel rosales, thank you for that report. boris? >> staying in florida, migrants in the sunshine state are on edge after tough new immigration laws were signed by governor ron desantis last week. under the law, transporting someone who has entered the country illegally could be punished with a five-year prison sentence or a $5,000 fine per person. it also requires companies with at least 25 employees to use e-verify to check the immigration status of workers against the federal database. cnn's carlos soares joins us live, what are you hearing from immigration groups about these new laws? >> well, boris, we are in homestead, florida. that say city to the south of miami that is home to a sizeable, a sizeable population of undocumented workers. now woe've talked to a number o

immigration rights organizations across south florida as well as orlando and they're telling us right now that a great deal of the anxiety and a great deal of the fear surrounding this new immigration law is because some of the misinformation that exists around this new law. as you laid out there, a part of this law would require companies with at least 25 workers to go and it would make it mandatory for them to check the immigration status of all of their workers against a federal database that's also known as e-verify. it also allows hospitals to ask patients about their immigration status, and as you noted, it does make it a crime for someone to knowingly transport an undocumented worker and illegal img immigrant into the state of florida. they told us that what they're saying right now is some of the talk about the possibility of a work stoppage in response to this new immigration law. a lot of this conversation was taking place on social media with folks posting videos saying

these undocumented workers were going to walk off the job. however, these immigration groups tell us that right now that is not what they're seeing across the state of florida. instead what they believe is happening that in the days after this new law was -- the bill was signed into law by governor ron desantis, some workers across the state of florida, did not go to work because they weren't sure exactly what this new law meant to them. governor ron desantis campaigned on the expansion of the e-verify program since the first run for governor in 2018 saying that e pan p expanding e-verify made it less attractive for undocumented workers to move through the state of florida. boris, right now the sentiment is right now we have new time before to get sentiment in july to how this will play out and as you can imagine, the immigrant community here in south florida, across the state, really is

still trying to make sense of all of this and the direct impact that it is going to have on them at some point down the line. >> also, we have to point out, we are anticipating that governor desantis is going to announce a run for president. carlos suarez from homestead, florida. thanks so much, carlos. what will the georgia d.a. investigating donald trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election to decide. she has until today to respond to requests from trump attorneys to throw out his case. the news from capitol hill not so good. what they're saying about debt ceiling talks as we move uncomfortably close it a potential economic disaster. you can't beat the italian bmt. uh you can with double cheese and mvp vinaigrette. double cheese?!? yes and yes! man, you crazy.. try the refreshed favorites at subway today.y.

police in new mexico are on the scene of a mass shooting in farmington. that is about an hour north of albuquerque. it's in northwestern new mexico near the colorado border. i want to get to camila bernal for the very latest on this. what can you tell us? >> brianna, they are investigating an active shooter situation at the moment, and you mentioned three people at least so far that we know have been killed, but this also became an officer-involved shooting. so what officials are saying that there were two officers who were shot during this situation.

one with a new mexico state police and one with farmington police. they were also taken to the hospital and we are told that they are in stable condition. there are very limited details here, but again, at least three people have been killed in this incident. police officers are still investigating. they are trying to figure out exactly what happened, and we do know that the suspect was killed on the scene. we do not have the identity of this person, but there are no other threats at this time according to authorities. so they do have the situation under control, but unfortunately, three people are dead and two injured, at least, that are police officers. thankfully, we do know that they are in stable condition at the moment, brianna. >> obviously, we are looking for more details about the circumstances surrounding this mass shooting. camila, thank you for the very latest on that. we'll stay on the story.

jim? developing now, a deadline, district attorney fani willis must respond to attorneys for donald trump. the ex-president's legal team is trying to throw out a special grand jury that investigated his attempts to interfere in that state's 2020 election, interfere and overturn the results there. cnn's sarah murray has been following. the deadline was actually earlier this month for the d.a. to respond, extended it to today. the question is we can guess how willis is going to respond to it, but do we know the judge's positioning on this? >> i don't think she will say disqualify it and throw out all my evidence if he's the one that would make the call on this it would be hard for me to imagine let's throw out all of the evidence the grand jury has collected and it's possible that he'll say let's have another judge look at this and we pretty

much expect from the d.a.'s office why the evidence should not be thrown out and why she should not be disqualified and this case is not even in the indictment stage and before we even see indictments, jim. >> sara murray, thanks so much. breaking news. that's right, jim. we have breaking news just in to cnn the long-awaited durham investigation has just concluded. remember, this is the trump-era probe that explored the origins of the fbi's investigation into the trump campaign's ties to russia. we are joined now by cnn senior just i justin correspondent evan perez. they vowed to investigate the investigators, what did they accomplish? what more are you learning about the end of this probe? >> yeah, boris. this is now an investigation, this four years in the making and we finally have the conclusions. more than 300 pages released by

the justice department. it has now been transmitted to members of congress who also are going to want to bring john durham in to review some of the findings, but the bottom line is this. the investigation found that the fbi failed in many, many ways, things that we already knew from a previous inspect or general report and i'll read you just a part of it, of john durham's con clugz. he says based on my review of related intelligence activities we conclude that the department and the fbi failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report. this is the top line finding from john durham who was taking a look at what the fbi was doing and what the intelligence community was doing. in the end he doesn't suggest any changes that the fbi and the justice department need to do. he says there are plenty of rules and regulations in place

that the fbi just needs to do a better job of following. one of the interesting things that we did uncover here, obviously, the sus ppicion of t people in the trump world, in the trump camp amp and the white house and bill barr, the attorney general who did appoint john durham to appoint the legislation and there was this massive conspiracy of spying by the fbi intelligence community and there was an instance when a judge is not a confidential source into a clivent cnton cam fund-raising event trying to get information about promises being made to a foreign government and a lot of things, we are still going through this more than 300 pages of this report and we'll come back to you with more of these filings, but john durham's

report, four years in the making is finally in the hands of the public and finally in the hands of republican members of congress who say they want to learn more. >> evan, i just want to reiterate two of the key takeaways that you noted. first, special counsel durham saying the fbi should never have launched the investigation into connections between donald trump's campaign and russia during the 2016 election, but simultaneously the special counsel did not recommend any new charges against any individuals or any changes to the way that the fbi handles politically charged investigations. so those two key takeaways, very important here and this does not -- >> right. >> this does not fall in line with the sdripgsdescription of former president of his expectations of the durham probe. he was saying that former president obama was spying on his campaign, that this was a

witch hunt, a deep state-coordinated effort about his connections to russia. this durham report doesn't get anywhere near those allegations from the former president, right? >> anywhere near those accusations from the former president and certainly from the former attorney general who appointed durham who thought that there was something here and to reiterate what you just mentioned, you know, the report does say that the justice department and the fbi did have a duty to look into those original tips that began this investigation, but he says in this report, he doesn't say that the fbi should have launched a full-blown investigation. he says that perhaps there was enough here to do an assessment which is a much lower level and he says that the fbi ignored all kinds of evidence that would have gone against some of its suspicions about trump and some of the people around the trump

campaign as you pointed out correctly and there are no more additional charge being recommended against anyone, and not the fbi and not jim comby and barack obama or hillary clinton. no one in the campaign is being charged with anything. what we do know is there was a charge against a former fbi lawyer who did falsify some parts of a fisa application on carter page, this was an aide to the former campaign of donald trump and there was a lawyer, a false statements charge who was prosecuted, a former lawyer who was working for the clinton campaign. again, this was an outside lawyers and in this case the jury acquitted him and this is michael zusman. we do know this investigation is

wrongdoing and he's plenty done wrong here and he's not suggesting that the fbi and the justice department do anything maeblgorror different except admire hoor to the rules already in mace. >> you don't have to bring us any further con kugzs, that it does so sending it over to congress does so without additions, retracks or other modifications and this is the actual source material handed directly over to congress. quite a bit different from what we saw attorney general william barr do with the mueller report a few years ago. evan perez, thank you so much. brianna and jim, we'll hand it over to you with this breaking news. >> let's bring in elliot williams to talk about the legal aspects of this. i think this is pretty key, right? where he says in this, we conclude that the justice department and the fbi failed to uphold their importaw in connection with certain events and activities described in this

report. how bad is this for the s etty . it sounds like there was sloppy work by the fbi and the justice department that led to the opening of an of the have the gagz investigation is was there the grand conspiracy that many people thought, and it doesn't look like that was there, but by any measure it looks like there was sloppiness and i think the devil is in the details and i want to see the basis for how they came to that conclusion. >> i don't want to equate the two, the fbi investigation and crossfire and hurricane and this durham investigations, but we should not there are come chonnalities, right? which s.t.a.r.t. out as a conspiracy, but the legal work didn't break up with actual charges, and i believe he got one criminal charge for faking an e-mail.

can you see some of the same weaknesses in each investigation? >> yeah. i mean, look, for this amount of time for there only to have been three criminal charges that were brought at all and of those three, two of them ended up in acquittals and one of them ended up in a plea agreement, was there not the kind of large-scale criminal accountability here they think that they would have wanted. >> just for folks at home if they don't remember how this originated and during the trump administration because driven in part by his allegations that this whole russia investigation started by decmocrats, conspiray theorists and many of them typical connections that were made that he was first appointed by bill barr and then later named by special counsel for the latest in the russia investigation which was name by crossfire hurricane and that was the origin of this, at the time having covered this, was there a

great deal of excitement, that criminal tharnles would follow and he hasn't found wrongdoing or at least not meeting high standards and that vision of it did not come to be. >> it simply did not, and again, i think there's something important to note in the law. there may be wrongdoing. there may be something that smells bad. there may be something that's irresponsible or irregular, but it simply does not lead to a great number of criminal charges and that's often what you end up seeing. >> i'm interested in how one of the things that is not recommended aside from new charges are changes about how the fbi handles politically charged investigations and the fbi has had a number of issues, right? with politically charged investigations in recent years from hillary clinton on this one. i wonder if you're surprised that it doesn't recommend some sort of guidance about how they

would do that? >> look, i worked at the justice department for six years in all ending in a pretty high level over there. there are a lot of safeguards built in place for protecting political investigations starting with number one, you don't bring charges in advance of election day. number two, very serious matters. also have career, not just politically appoint people working on them, they get brought to the senior career officials at the justice department, and i will be the first to tell you and people are subject to their own biasses, and you correctioned them in terms of recommendations, but there are a lot of checks in place. >> they kept by the checks of the number of days prior to an election. >> right. >> for instance the guidance of the office of legal counsel which was so key during the investigation while trump was still in office, right? can you pursue that? i suppose we should note though

there were -- there were allegations of politics injectioned into each stage of this and he found some -- if not politics he found some standards that were not met, but the sad fact in the country today is that there are allegations of politics in anything, if it rains today, there are allegations, to your point, some standards were political beings and they're allowed to work in government and the question is when did that enter fear with them to do their jobs in an effective manner? again, there are safeguards to ensure that they don't when they happen and people should be dealt with accordingly and frankly, jon durham could have brought charges and personnel changes based on folks who read that, and it seems that those kinds of recommendations were not made. >> this is the breaking news

that we are following right now. special counsel john durham concluded that the fbi never should have launched the trump-russia probe. however, this does not go where republicans, i think, had hoped that it would. that there was some sort of deep state conspiracy to target donald trump, none the the, we understand that jim jordan will want trump to testify next week and that is the news as it stands right now. we'll get in a quick break and be right back. the all-new tempur-pedic breeze makes sleep feel cool. so, no more sweating all night... ...or blasting the air conditioning. because the tempur-breeze feels up to 10° cooler, all nit long. for a limited time, save up to $500 on selt tempur-pedic adjustable mtress sets.

we're tracking breaking news just in to cnn. the long-awaited durham investigation has just concluded. remember, this is the trump-era probe that looked into the fbi's investigation into the trump campaign's ties to russia. we want to go to cnn's sara murray who has been following the reaction from capitol hill. sara, very importantly, the chair of the house judiciary committee, jim jordan, now says he wants to hear directly from john durham as early as next week. >> reporter: that's right. jim jordan just tweeted he is hoping to get testimony from john durham next week. of course, jordan ice committee has oversight over the justice department, but jordan has also presided over the investigation into what he calls the weaponization of the federal government. so you can imagine, they want john durham in front of their committee to talk more about why he believes that this investigation into the ties between donald trump's campaign and russian nationals should

have never been opened. you can imagine he's going to be seizing on a lot of the details on this report that are favable to former president donald trump. we have seen that time and time again now that republicans have taken the house, that they have used these committees not only to highlight what they believe is sort of injustice in the way justice is handed out by the federal government but also in instances where they feel donald trump has been unfairly targeted by the government, boris. >> sara murray, thank you so much for that report. we have new video from a mass shooting out of farmington, new mexico, where at least three people are dead at this point. you can see on the street. this is a huge police presence. we have cnn's camila bernal following this story. camila, what more can you tell us at this point? >> reporter: right now we know at least three people were killed in this shooting and at least two officers were injured

as well. according to authorities, multiple officers were involved in this officer-involved shooting, and they now say that the suspect has been killed. they have not identified the suspect. what they're saying is there is no threat at the moment. the person that took that video said he was about a block away, and thankfully is safe. but, again, there's huge law enforcement presence in this area, and three people were killed. in terms of the officers that were injured, we know one of the officers was with the new mexico state police. the other officer was with farmington police. both were taken to the hospital, and authorities saying they are in stable condition at the moment. so good news there. just to kind of tell you exactly where this is, this is in farmington, new mexico, which is just south of the colorado state border. again, we're awaiting for more

details from authorities. what we know so far is that at least three people were killed and at least two officers were injured and thankfully are in stable condition. guys, back to you. >> camila, thank you very much. the news coming in fast and furious as we speak. another story we're following right now also breaking, a violent attack at a congressman's office in virginia just outside of washington. police say a man with a baseball bat walked into the office of democratic congressman jerry connolly, assaulted two staff members, one who was on their first day in the office. cnn's manu raju joining us with details. we have new details, manu, including the name of the suspect? >> reporter: that's right. police have identified him as a 49-year-old from fairfax, virginia, someone who is a constituent of jerry connolly. this individual is being charged with one count of aggravated

malicious wounding and one count of malicious wounding. police say this occurred at 10:49 a.m. today. the man came into connolly's office. connolly later told me this person used a metal bat to strike one senior aid of his over the head and then attacked another one on her side. the one he attacked on her side was an intern on the first day of the office. both staffers were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. they're now being treat ed. this coming at a time of a rise of political violence, everything stemming from last year from nancy pelosi's home in san francisco, the attack on her husband, back in 2017 the attack on the baseball diamond, steve scalise being shot on that baseball diamond. today this assailant using a bat

allegedly to attack two aides. connolly telling me this individual also destroyed many things in his office. glass was shattered in a conference room, computers were destroyed. connolly saying this individual was filled with rage at the time. within five minutes or so, that's when police responded to this attack. connolly said there were a handful of aides in his office. connolly, himself, was at a nearby ribbon cutting for a food bank, he and a senior aide. two staffers injured after being attacked by this 49-year-old from fairfax, virginia. >> thanks so much for updating us on that. we would think of gabby gif 40s as well. this has been going on for some time. it is incredibly alarming as we see this pattern happening, both sides of the aisle. democratic congressman gabby giffords, the baseball attack

against house republicans, the attack on the husband of nancy pelosi and now this. >> sadly a string of political violence that we've watched unfold over the last few years driven largely in part because of the rhetoric that we've seen, especially on social media from leaders that at times have not been perhaps responsible with their words. on the durham news, that coming up, at least from the former president's perspective, short. >> there will be a lot more. >> "the lead" with jake tapper will start with updates on a al these stories. make your dream car...a reality. mercedes-benz certified pre-owned vehicles
