2:00 pm
russian media reporting, least 40 people were killed. that number is expected to run eyes with at least 100 other people wounded or injured were following every update on this attack, which the russian government is calling a terrorist attack. and we're going to bring you this up. it's live the second major breaking news story we're following this afternoon catherine, the princess of wales announcing that she has cancer and his undergoing chemotherapy. princess kate says the cancer was found after major abdominal surgery in january. the palace says king charles, who was also undergoing chemotherapy right now is quote, so proud of catherine for her courage and sharing her cancer diagnosis though neither the king who has cancer as well, or princess kate have revealed what kinds of cancer they have. prince harry and meghan released a statement this afternoon saying, quote, we wish health and healing for okay and the family and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace, unquote catherine's brother, james posted this photo of him and kate as children on instagram with the
2:01 pm
caption quote, over the years we have climbed many mountains together as a family, we will climb this one with you two unquote us. first lady, jill biden shared catherine's video message with the note you are brave and we love new. cnn's richard quest starts off our coverage on the princesses cancer diagnosis it has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family >> after weeks of speculation, the princess of wales to spelled the rumors and gave us the facts in january. i underwent major domino surgery in london and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous the surgery was successful. however, tests after the operation, on cancer had been present my medical team, therefore, advice that i should undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy. and i'm now in the early stages of that treatment >> suddenly so clear why kate's recovery after leaving
2:02 pm
the london clinic? taken so long and why she'd avoided the public eye >> this, of course, came as a huge shock. and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of all young family the diagnosis is still visibly role cnn understands the princess is and has been in good spirits okay. ten prince william of focusing on how to explain the diagnosis to their young children. the three last seen with them, mother in the now infamous and doctored mother's day photo, there many edge, it's fueling the rumors about the princesses health that's all seems irrelevant now with king charles also recovering from cancer, the princesses pr nightmare came with a delicate time for the royal family it left william and queen camilla
2:03 pm
to hold the fort now was she heels? princess catherine is asking for privacy and time. >> lai walk has always bought me a deep sense of joy and i look forward to being back when i'm able that's now i must focus on making a full recovery >> britain has seemingly rallied behind. it's princess prince joel's saying he was proud, praising kate's courage and the british prime minister rishi sunak, wishing her a speedy recovery promising the love and support of the entire country. >> i am well and getting stronger every day. bye the wales hopes to be left alone to focus on her family >> and her recovery and that's going to be the tough part in a sense for the media how to ensure that she does get that space, jake, how to make sure
2:04 pm
that there's the opportunity for peace, quiet, and just to recover. but at the same time, the demand will be so huge, the pictures for comments from any team it bits of information here in the uk, it won't be shown. i'm pretty certain about that. but international paparazzi, who will go to extreme lengths to get that photograph or that information that's a different matter. the real test is about to begin so richard, there has been so much interest in what's going on with princess kate and now in how she's doing, how is fleet street and the rest of the british media covering the story? >> wall-to-wall upside down inside out, squeeze it anyway, you like. but what i think is going to happen now is that at least on the surface, there will be a complete break. you're not going to get this intensity. she will be given the space. what worries is the
2:05 pm
there's those photographers who will follow and try and get information those journalists such as they, if you want to call them that all those other media that don't follow the rules. and the rules are here. look, she's done what needs to be done? she's a citizen who is in public domain, but she's entitled to her nicole privacy. and that's likely to be the way it follows. but then there's this un, i've taught before jake about this constitutional aspect. her husband is going to be king. she is going to be queen. and so the mere giving of this information today wasn't necessity, not just to put the paper routes in this and the conspiracy theorists to rest. but also because the public has a right to know that somebody who is going to be so sigma is and will be significant for many more years to come. please write the likely future queen of england. how are people in the uk are reacting to this sad
2:06 pm
news >> i think the sort of text messages i've got even from my own family, it's it's just like, oh my goodness. oh, i hope she's or oh, this is so again, this relationship that we have with people to whom we're not related. but because we see them in the news every day, we know they have constitutional importance in britain, and therefore, we identify with many of their trials and tribulations that will be great concern worry, there will be deep, deep sympathy, but it will be because of kate, the family that children, how she will manage this. and then we'll worry about what comes next. as for the king, let's not forget that king and the poor queen, she's in a '70s and she's now pulling the work of three people because she's having they're all having to pick up the slack. so you've got william and kate eight, who are to some extent now of the table
2:07 pm
and he says, you've got the king and the queen. and so you're gonna be looking at the other members of the royal family. because remember that old rule jake if you want to be royal and you won't, the role of monarchy, you want the monitor to continue as the queen always said, you have to be seen >> yeah, it's a lot though, right? i mean, prince philip dying in 2021, queen elizabeth dying and 2022, king charles has cancer. kate has cancer or everything with harry and meghan it's aligned on the duchess of york, fergie. she has had breast cancer. the fascinating look, look to tickpick gosset, but of course it's going to be what happens in california with meghan and harry and how they re-integrate in some shape or form with all of this but that's just going down to the rules of rumor and gossip. and we shouldn't do that. >> richard quest. thank you so much. princess catherine had been absent from the public view for the last few months, and now she says she will likely be taking additional time away from the public to go through chemotherapy to
2:08 pm
recover, to be with her family, her father-in-law, king charles, also going through chemotherapy right now, conducted i think events in private behind the scenes while he undergoes treatment as well. let's bring in cnn's and a steward in london and anna, what has the reaction been in the united kingdom to today's announcement? >> i think there has been a huge degree of shock at this stage despite, of course, they're being weeks and weeks of speculation about where the princess of wales was, what had condition was with xi, but getting better was she recovering? it's been pretty relentless, but i'm sure this wasn't the news that anyone expected and certainly didn't want this week has been a difficult one. there has been interest and actually intrigued going to quite an unpleasant level. reports of a hospital staff members from the hospital where the princess of wales as being treated illegally attempting to access her private medical records. so that story broke just a few days ago >> unclear whether that breach was successful. certainly, we haven't heard anything about this cancer diagnosis until today with this news, but this
2:09 pm
intense speculation throughout the media has just been relentless and i think if hopefully with this video message and a lot more information that may put an end to some of that speculation. and there was a plea, wasn't there from the princess screen for privacy. so her family can deal with this new news, this new normal and such a difficult time. >> well, on that issue of the accusations that members of this london clinic tried to illegally access the princess is medical records. what's the latest on that potential breach? and is it possible that that that played a role into why she is making this announcement now? >> yeah. you have to wonder whether that level of pressure and intrigue has pushed them to make a statement. i actually don't think so. listen to that video message. i think the fact that the children broke up from school today now was the moment for them to share this news because they're sharing it with their family now they're going to deal with this together as a family however, the latest on the data breach that ico, which is the data regulator here in the uk, they are investigating
2:10 pm
the hospital, the london clinic. they are also investigating, it is hugely embarrassing and damaging for their reputation. frankly, it's a private hospital that deals with vips frequently, including royals, prince philip and princess margaret were also treated the, london clinic, currently those investigations are underway. all we know at this stage is up to three members of staff did attempt to access her records unclear course, whether they will be prosecuted for that investigations ongoing. >> all right. and it's yours. thank you so much. let's turn now. >> to that other big breaking news story this afternoon, this 1 in russia, a deadly attack on a concert hall near moscow. live images showing a smoldering fire there at the scene. and russia we're gunman killed at least 40 innocent people were getting some brand new information about us warnings to russia, about us intelligence are some intelligence showing risks of a terrorist attack that's for his next reached unprecedented polarization what's the answer

2:15 pm
breaking news in our world lead and a shocking attack near moscow at least 40 people have been killed and a building is still on fire. after several gunman entered a concert hall in russia and sprayed bullets into a crowd. cnn is now learning that the united states had warned russia about a stream of intelligence suggesting that a branch of isis was determined to attack in russia. and cnn's oren liebermann joins me again now oren, what are you learning about this intelligence, jake, according to two sources familiar with the intelligence back since november, the us have been watching this space and there was a steady stream of information that isis k, known as isis core san, which we normally associate with afghanistan was determined to carry out an attack in russia creating mass casualty event. it was fairly specific intelligence that rose to the level of a duty to warn. and according to one of those sources, the us intelligence community did in fact warn russia that an attack was possible. now, a few caveats here, we don't know if this is
2:16 pm
directly related to the march 7 warning from the us embassy in moscow. so these could be coming from two separate threats that the us was monitoring in this space. and of course, this is an isis k threat. this is the isis k area. the us intelligence community was watching and we simply don't know at this point who carried out the attack at the moscow concert hall. but there is a pattern here emerging and it is clear the us was very much watching this space and the potential for an attack in moscow or in russia. what kind of a look? >> hertz is the us government providing right now, the state department for americans in russia. >> well, other than the general alert that it's dangerous for us citizen to be there. there was that alert on march 7 from the state department, warning from the embassy that there might be an imminent attack in moscow or in russia within the next 48 hours. and it's specifically listed concert halls and that's why after the attack, we're watching now it's certainly caught our eye. now it's unclear if these are linked that march 7 warning was effectively for two days and we're two weeks after that, but it's very easy to see the
2:17 pm
similarities between what the us was warning about and what we're seeing play out here right now, still though, it's early the us is still looking at what happened here. of course, the russians are as well opening up a criminal investigation into what happened. and it is still very much happening based on the pictures were seeing. >> all right. thank you so much. appreciate it. let's go now to cnn fred flight. and who's following this all from europe, specifically from berlin, bystanders say that people were shot at point-blank molotov cocktails. were you we just learned that russian state media reported children are among the victims here. what do we know about the attackers for it? >> yeah, jake and i think the troubling things that the authorities are not seeing right now is that they would have come to terms with this attack. in fact, this could very well still be an ongoing security situation. it's certainly if here are some videos that we're seeing and we're seeing them some on our screen right now. these attackers were very well armed. also the way they move seem to show that they were also very well versed in dealing with those firearms. and you're absolutely right. that one of
2:18 pm
the eyewitnesses who was questioned by russian state media came out and said that the attackers came in and immediately started firing at people point blank using long weapons. obviously, meaning something like rifles, who vaulted been checking some of the videos from the scene of them coming in as well. it certainly does seem as though the attackers already as they were still outside of the cocoa city hall before coming into that concert, help were already pulling out their weapons and getting ready to fire as they made their way into that area. of course, some of the video that we're seeing now from the evenings still shows a map massive presence of security forces and medical personnel on the ground there as well. the building, of course, the crop city hall on fire and it appears as though part of the roof has collapsed as well, and that does mesh somewhat also with some of the things that we've been hearing from eyewitnesses and from the authorities saying that the attacker is not only fired the ad people, but also apparently use those molotov cocktails. of course, things that could very easily set up a very large fire in a place like that.
2:19 pm
>> jake friend, what is security usually? please? like at places like this concert halls in moscow and europe in general >> yeah, that's one of the things i lived in moscow for three years and i think that's one of the things that anybody who goes there would notice almost immediately is that you do have security checks almost every year when you go into the subway, you have people checking you for any sort of metal objects. they do have detectors on them, but especially if you go into places like shopping all is if you go into places like concert venues or movie theaters, then you would also have those security checks and security guards as well now, of course, none of them would be equipped to deal with very professional attackers who also have the firepower that we appear to be seeing on some of the videos that have been coming out, but certainly security is actually normally pretty tight in russia and specifically in moscow because of course, in the past decades, they have dealt with terror attacks on on important
2:20 pm
buildings in moscow and in other cities as well. but certainly, despite the fact that there are security guards on in almost every public bill building a commercial building. it would be very difficult for them to deal with something like that, to deal with something like the kind of attack that we appear to be seeing unfold in some of the videos. that are coming out from the scene of the attack. and again, it seems to be a huge, large-scale attack that took place with at this point in time, 40 confirmed dead and the authorities saying there our children apparently among the victims as well, jake. >> all right. horrible news. fred pleitgen. thank you so much. the live images show the massive police response there in russia is still even hours after the attacked, just outside russia's capital city. we're going to dig more into the new us intelligence and what may have led to this. >> we're back in a moment >> this is the greatest age

2:25 pm
>> anderson cooper 360 tonight at eight on cnn >> we're back with more on this massive terrorist attack near moscow sources telling cnn then that the us warned russia after a steady stream of intelligence that isis k, that's the isis-affiliated and afghanistan. and around that area was determined to attack in russia, we should know, we still don't know for sure who is behind today's attack. let's bring in former deputy director of national intelligence, who also served at the cia is the deputy he for analysis for russia and european affairs. beth center. but what do you make of what we're hearing now of this warning that the us gave about isis k striking in russia well, i think that hue, hue always want to be careful about jumping to conclusions, but that isis and isis
2:26 pm
>> the unit that is out of afghanistan has a lot of reasons to go after russia and tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of the official defeat of isis caliphate. when syria and iraq. and so there's been quite a bit of chatter as well as couple of other attacks that have been thwarted. >> plus you have in russia >> they caught some isis k folks who are about to attack paris, who were about to attack synagogue on the seventh. and then on march 3, they also killed six other ices cake gunmen in the north caucuses region of inke shania which is a muslim majority area, and the hotbed of anti-putin, anti-war sentiment. so there's a lot going on here, kind of point to islamic terrorists >> yeah. and the islamicize hatred of russia of course,
2:27 pm
rooted in many ways in the soviet invasion of afghanistan years ago. and then a lot of people, a lot of terrorists inspired also to join the chechens in fighting russia >> what do you make >> of this specific style of this attack? eyewitnesses report of point shootings of the victims, molotov cocktails for gunman with automatic weapons. apparently they also set a higher than appears to still be raging >> yeah, it really takes you back to the chechen terrorists and all of these books are linked in this it's worth caucasus region. i mean, some chechens, muslim majority area of english chaldeans dog is done and they're all related. so in 2002, they did this attack on a theater in moscow, were very similar. gunman came in point-blank range and of course, the way that the
2:28 pm
russians responded to that, not exactly with precision and sophistication and hundreds of 129 people i think were killed in that. i'm including the paris but innocent people. and then 2004 kind of a similar attack and best lawn where they took that school 300 people were killed as a result of the russian response. so i mean, in fact, he said hadley, maybe it's a good thing that the russians didn't didn't respond to this. and the attack took place >> yeah >> it can be worse what might this attack mean for putin? russia seems in many ways just pretty discombobulated with a the attack, with its the invasion of ukraine this attack, and yet potent >> just last >> week, cemented his grip on power even more so in the sham elections it is so interesting.
2:29 pm
so the ukrainians just came out with a statement, part of the ukrainian service saying that maybe putin and the special forces were behind this because when putin rose to power in the late '90s, he went after the chechens and a lot of people think he staged something like similar to this back then. >> i >> don't think that's the case now. i think that guten has absolutely no reason to have stage something like this knee looks like he's out of control. so this is like the last thing that he wants and just a few days ago, he came out making fun of the united states threats or warnings and said that these were threatened against the russian people. and so he is not looking like he is very well in charge of things combined with some of the ukrainian in attacks deep inside of russia as well. so i don't think it's going to take them out, but it certainly isn't a good look
2:30 pm
>> cnn >> that the celebration >> yeah, cnn has just confirmed that isis is claiming responsibility for this deadly attack. now, not that there's any reason to doubt their claim, but i'm assuming the us will do its own birth to confirm this information, you don't just take the word for a terrorist group exactly. and there are ways >> that the intelligence >> community can look at that information. and, trace it back and try to validate whether the his claims are correct or not as i said in the beginning, you don't ever want to really jump to conclusions too soon but it does, it does kinda line now that santa >> thank you so much for your expertise has always good to see you here in the united states attorney general, merrick garland was frustrated by the slow pace of his justice department's investigation into donald trump's efforts to overturn the election. so frustrated, we are now learning that in the summer of 2021, earlier than had been
2:31 pm
previously reported, garland took matters into his own hands. he created a team to investigate trump allies, including rudy giuliani and roger stone. this team that had gathered at the willard hotel ahead of the january 6 capitol riot. this is all according to a blockbusters new story in the new york times cnn's evan perez is here and having the new york times says that in trying to avoid small mistakes, garland might have made a bigger one in the sense that he is now up in a race against the clock that it's possible the justice department is going to lose right? i mean, i think the >> concern that you hear from critics of the way these cases have been brought, jake, is that we now are obviously up against a deadline. we have obviously the election already in full swing the supreme court is now finally going to hear the appeal for the president's claim of immunity. >> and so that >> pushes back the prospect of having the first trial, the
2:32 pm
january 6 trial, perhaps happening very close to the election and maybe at some point, someone will say maybe the judge will say it's too close to the election. and so what certainly some of mine everyone reporting and that from you saw from glenn thrush and adam goldman, the times is there was a lot of activity happening behind the scenes. i know that members of congress have been on our air, certainly in the last few months and last year criticizing the pace of activity at the justice department and what you see from that time, democrats criticizing saying he's too slow too slow, correct. and fearing >> exactly what's happening now but i think some of the reporting that you see in that story from the times and some certainly some of the reporting i've had, i've done myself indicates that there was a lot of activity happening behind the scenes, including what you just you just describe there was an effort by the attorney general to make sure that you know, the other parts of this investigation which was looking at the proud boys and the oath keepers and some of those other
2:33 pm
aspects didn't get in the way of following the money and trying to make sure trying to see whether any of that led to the former president. some of those threads ended up being not quite as fruitful as people thought and so some of these cases are also extremely complicated. a documents case, for instance, obviously it's not just possession of the documents. it's about obstruction and in some ways, this is a sprawling investigation of the kind that's bigger than anything that justice department has done. i'll read you just a part of what the times has in their, in their peace, they say mr. garland said he would place no restrictions on their work. this is the work of the the investigators, even if the evidence leads to trump, again, that jives with all of the reporting we've done in the last couple of years on this, he said followed the connective tissue upward according to the times. now, the big question now jake is where does this leave us right? if the supreme >> court hears this appeal in on april 20, and if they come back quickly, or perhaps some
2:34 pm
time before their deadline before they leave and june right. and say that trump doesn't have immunity and restarts these trials how much appetite is there in the justice department and garland could, at some point tell his prosecutors, we need to ask the judge to pause this right >> of course. >> all of this yeah. >> is now in the hands >> of the judges. they're the ones that will decide whether this happens before the election. >> all right. evan perez, thanks so much. let's next to the dramatics today on capitol hill, a new attempt to remove mike johnson as house speaker another house republicans calling it quits and leaving congress plus a new announcement from george santos. >> we're back in a moment. >> doug >> hello, ghostbusters. it's duck i've. definitely moon. we help people customize and save hundreds on car insurance with liberty mutual >> anyway, we got a bit of a situation here

tonight. this is how congresswoman taylor greene described it. >> i filed the motion to vacate today, but it's more of a warning and a pink slip. i respect our conference. >> i paid all my >> dues to my conference. i may member in good standing and i do not wish to inflict pain on our conference and to throw it throw the house and chaos a panel joins me now to discuss mark, does that make sense? a warning and a pink slip but she doesn't want chaos. i don't >> well, i think there's a lot of problems with that spending, but then i get why conservatives are upset about it. but there are three bodies that it takes to pass a law. and you control only one of them. so you're going going to have to negotiate if this is not a privileged motion, so it can sit in committee. you can sit there on the back burner, but if she moves forward with it, that i think we're back to seeing what we saw following kevin mccarthy and kristin, there's more bad news for speaker johnson today because republican congressman mike gallagher from wisconsin, one
2:40 pm
of the party's rising stars who had already announced that he wasn't going to run for reelection. he's got a wife and young kids. he announced that he is actually resigning imminently his last day will be on april 19th. today is congressmen ken buck, republican congressman can bucks last day. this means speaker johnson's already razor-thin majority is now doubt going to be down to one vote one vote majority. >> well, that also matters if murder taylor greene decides to bring this motion to vacate to the floor and actually notice that i think that what we're seeing again is the likelihood of more chaos within the republican conference. and what i'm talking to republicans on the hill, even those that are closely aligned with marjorie taylor greene, they don't want that. >> now she says that she has people who have said that they will vote for this. there'll be on board, but this looks very different than what we saw with kevin mccarthy. we're people were coming out and backing this motion to vacate long before they brought it up. and even before it was noticed. so i think it'll be interesting to
2:41 pm
see how this plays out because we're in a very different, different political time and climate now, than we were back with kevin mccarthy and also remind you that took 22 days between kevin mccarthy being brought, the vote being brought, and actually hiring mike johnson, who really came into the office because nobody knew who he was and it just seems like the easiest way to do this. people were very frustrated at that time. i think this might play out differently than she thinks. well, if he if he to resign next week, that would have been a special elections since he waited there's until april 19, it's now a vacancy until the november general election. it's an r plus 15 seed. that's basically just leaving the seat open on purpose. >> and interesting and democrats joined with republicans during that whole rebellion against kevin mccarthy and the whatever it was three weeks without a speaker of the house. i don't know that there's the same appetite among house democrats to join the marjorie taylor greene's of the world, not that they support speaker johnson, but again, it would be a vote for chaos.
2:42 pm
>> well, i think democrats when kevin mccarthy loss of speakership we're saying they want the republicans to figure it out. they were not going to give kevin mccarthy out if they he decided and agreed on the roles that one person could vacate the speaker, right now, >> this is because >> marjorie taylor greene says she doesn't want chaos chaos is when the government shut down, shuts down. chaos is when you can't keep doing the business of the people. and so by trying not voting to support the spending bill, right now, would be sending the it's kinda contradictory to what she's saying in terms of sydney and chaos. i don't think dams we heard the latest person's suozzi out of new york saying he would help keep mike johnson in place. i think there are some congressional districts closer to the election now that folks would help keep speaker johnson and place not because they agree with him, but just because they need a functioning government. and i think voters want congress be able to do something for them. >> speaking of suozzi, he replaced congressman george santos, who was ousted. so as you want in a special way, i can santos today said, he's
2:43 pm
leaving the republican party. he said he's gonna be running for congress, i think for a different congressional seat in new york, one instead of new york to he said he tweeted today, quote after today's embarrassing showing in the house, i have reflected and decided that i can no longer be part of the republican party. the republican party continues to lie in swindle. it's voter base i mean, that's santos saying that in good conscience could not affiliate myself with a party that stands for nothing and false for everything. so george santos is embarrassed. george santos is accusing the republican party of lying and swindling. he's literally on trial for corruption >> anyway, >> your thoughts? >> so yeah >> where's it gonna got it right >> what he's got to come an independent i suppose. >> okay. >> to get the signature is apparently to do that. so we should see if anyone wants him anywhere, at least one isn't independent in new york? >> no, he can't be embarrassed though. yeah. i mean, there's a silver lining that's a claim a second source listen to how majority leader, republican
2:44 pm
majority leader steve scalise of louisiana reacted to the news that his party was about to be down to a one seat majority he's tough with the five seat majority is tough with the two-seat one's gonna be the same. we all have to work together. we all have to unite if we're gonna get some things done we should note that the reason he's wearing a mask, congressman kalisa battling blood cancer but he's talking about getting things done as he being working together, as he being too. hopefully, thank yes. >> i mean, if the last several months has shown us anything, yes, he's being too hopeful. i do think there is something we said about how big margin is two is similar to one. i mean, i think that when you have that some of them are margin, you're operating on a very, very fine line no matter what. even if it's five, for example. but i think overall, i mean, we haven't seen i'm really be able to get a lot done at all. i mean, even the bipartisan border bill was killed. i mean, there's there's time after time. we've seen republicans act against themselves in certain ways and not seeing anything really come by the house.
2:45 pm
>> so trump's struck a new fundraising agreement with republican national committee, which remember he installed his picks to run it a few weeks ago under his new agreement, the republican national committee directs donations to his campaign and the political action committee that pays trump's legal bills before the rnc gets a cut of it. what do you make of that? i think it's standard because the campaign and the rnc or legal bills though. i mean, well, not the pack. the pack itself and the super pac, but the rnc and the campaign are both hard dollar limits. and so when you have these jumbo fundraising events, these are mega events, then the bulk of it goes to the super pac than the rnc in the campaign takes. >> but it's legal bills standard to have 91 indictments and to have your people who are donating to get donald trump re-elected >> you would think >> that you would want that to actually go to your reelection. now, if you think that the criminal convictions actually help get him elected, that could be the strategy >> i would say the charges are
2:46 pm
political, so the defense is two. okay? have to weigh in on one thing here because i think there's actually like a legitimate look at this with just numbers. okay. the first bit of money >> goes to >> the reelect primary general election. then you have $5,000 that goes to save america pac, then everything else? goes to the rnc. >> so this is going to >> affect a very specific level of donation if you are donating $100,000, the majority of that money is still goes to the rnc. if you are donating tiny bit of money, a majority of your money or all of your money goes to the campaign this is when you're donating around ten or r think we have to wait and see the fec report. how much money is actually going to save america? that's not going to the rnc because that means that the $11,000 mark no money is going to the rnc, but it is going to save america pac and it is going to the campaigns we really won't know the outcome can we see what kind of donations are coming in? >> thanks everyone for being here and have a great weekend. i will see you sunday morning. >> good >> we're going to go back to

>> and we're back with that breaking news story in our worldly. that's shocking attack near moscow. isis is now claiming responsibility for the attack at the concert hall, at least 40 people killed more than 100 injured or wounded, several gunman, reportedly entering the building, a headache and i'd show opening fire including point blank range before throwing what a bystander said, we're molotov cocktails russian media now reporting the children are among the victims of this attack. cnn's oren liebermann, back with me oren. is it a surprise that isis has claimed responsibility? how seriously should we take? >> perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise, us intelligence community has been watching back since november. and we talked about this a little bit earlier. the potential for isis k to try and carry out an attack on mass casualty event somewhere in russia. and certainly that mass casualty event is what we're seeing playing out right now. now, isis claimed responsibility for the attack. they haven't provided any sort of evidence
2:52 pm
to back that up yet, nor have we seen the us are crucially russia weigh it and corroborate that, say, look, we came to the same conclusion that it was ices that was behind this attack. so there is still a question mark there and we'll wait to see what the us says when they've had more time to look at this and with what russia says, it is worth pointing out that the commander of us central command, general erik kurilla, just testified before lawmakers yesterday about isis k, which is the group the us was watching, threatening russia and sitting this is a group that's trying to build its capabilities and that could within six months try to attack us or western interests. here or abroad. so this is clearly a group the us has been watching and one that is trying to build its capabilities to carry out horrific attacks. leave what we're seeing in moscow. all right, oren liebermann, our pentagon correspondent. thank you so much. also checkout cnn.com for instant updates on this breaking news. we'll be right back >> this with wolf blitzer.
