kaugt on camera, a just released video shows the man who appears to be sean diddy combs repeatedly beating a woman in a hotel hallway. what we're learning about what happened and the potential impact on the legal battle he's facing. need off. golf superstar scottie scheffler taken into custody on his way to the pga championship, the masters champ charged with assaulting a peace officer, how he's explaining what happened. bringing down the house, a hearing on capitol hill devolves into total chaos. >> how dare you attack the physical appearance of another person? >> are your feelings hurt? >> move her words down. >> oh girl, baby girl. >> oh, really? >> don't even play. what sparked it all and the reaction from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. going wild. six flags gets ready to open its next great adventure, a first look at the brand new safari theme park where visitors can spend the night. well, it's certainly been a

busy week, and thank you for ending it with us. we're starting this hour with the breaking news, disturbing new hotel surveillance video obtained by cnn appears to show the music mogul sean diddy combs violently assaulting a woman who appears to be his then girlfriend singer cassie ventura. it took place in 2016 but the video was just released. a warning, the video is difficult to watch. the video shows the man believed to be combs running down the hallway of the intercontinental hotel in los angeles wearing a towel. he goes around the corner where a woman is waiting for an elevator. he grabs her, pulls her down to the ground and kicks her. he then grabs her bags, kicks her again, and pulls her bay her sweater, attempting to drag her back down the hallway. for more on this i want to bring in entertainment correspondent chloe melas, and legal analyst danny cevallos. chloe, first to you, interestingly, cassie detailed something quite similar to this incident in a federal lawsuit

and we've also heard from cassie's lawyers, what's the latest on this? >> her lawyers have come out with a very strong statement saying this is the evidence right here that they were talking about in their civil suit, that this is gut wrenching video that is only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of mr. combs. they go on to say the words cannot express the courage and fortitude ms. ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light. it's unclear who leaked the video. it's very unclear how this footage remained under wraps for so many years, since 2016. in this federal civil suit filed by cassie, casandra ventura who dated sean diddy combs for over a decade, it details an incident that took place in 2016, at a hotel, in california, with very similar details to what we're seeing in this video. nbc news has not been able to independently verify that is

sean diddy combs in the video but it sure does look a lot like him and his legal team isn't saying anything right now and neither is the hotel. >> how was this video just released. as you mentioned it's not yet been confirmed this is combs. danny, if it is, how damaging might this be for him given the slew of other legal issues he's facing. >> if it's diddy and if this happened in 2016, i originally was thinking of this in terms of straight assault and aggravated assault. under state law there's a one or three year statute of limitations, for state law crimes they maybe be out of time. but under federal law, the human trafficking laws the statutes of limitations are much longer and we're well within those statutes. this would be folded into a federal investigation if investigators were to determine if this alleged or apparent assault, of course if it is diddy, is part of a human trafficking investigation, which by the way, from just looking at

the video, there's no indication one way or the other, but that might be something that federal investigators could possibly be looking at. >> and it's important to go wide here, diddy was a big star of the early 2000s, and this is not the only legal case against him. i think of the federal investigation into him right now, so that's separate from this lawsuit, chloe, but what's the latest on that? >> so, we know that his homes were raided on both coasts, both on the east coast and florida and both in california, but we don't know what federal investigators found, he has yet to be charged with anything criminally. we don't know if they found anything and what is going to happen. what we do know is that sean diddy combs has maintained his innocence, he's gone on social media repeatedly in the last few days talking about love, posting pictures of his family. he has presented himself as a family man, as somebody who supports women, who has helped individuals like mary j. blige with their music career, he is somebody who has been revered in the music city, there have been run-ins with the law but nothing like this, there has never been

any video footage showing him allegedly assaulting anyone. so this is a huge issue, and obviously we're all waiting to hear from sean diddy combs, from his attorneys who vehemently deny these allegations when the civil suit from casandra ventura was first filed a few months ago. >> and danny, the big news of the day, this video, if it is him or if it's not, what does it mean, what are the legal repercussions for whoever that man is. >> the advent of security video that has taken cases that used to be he said, she said and made them much more objective, i mean, you could say the video for the most part doesn't lie. but, of course, if there's any charges that come from this, you maybe could argue it isn't me. that seems like a difficult one if facts show that it is, in fact, diddy, or that the statute has expired. if this is folded into a larger federal investigation it's damning evidence even if there's no underlying charge for the actual assault. >> danny and chloe, thank you. turning to the deadly storms tearing across the south.

heavy rain and at times hurricane-force winds left a path of destruction across texas and louisiana. in houston the winds were so powerful it blew windows out of downtown skyscrapers and even tore through the brick wall of this building. you see it right there. it's unclear if anyone was inside at the time, but across the region at least four people died. and nearly 2 1 million people were left in the dark. nbc news correspondent guad venegas is in houston for us. guad, you've been out there all day talking to people, surveying the damage. many of these people are just getting a chance to see the damage. including the mayor. what did he tell you? >> zinhle, surprise. the mayor and everyone else, when they come by and see this in person, they're sprietzed that the damage that was caused. just like they said they were surprised by the winds yesterday, now they knew, authorities knew there was a storm coming through but they didn't expect the winds to be so powerful. we've seen the images of downtown buildings, the windows blown out, the streets in that

part of downtown covered in glass and there was some flooding and there was a lot of damage to residential neighborhoods. damage where trees damaged vehicles, they've been covering the streets and then of course the power infrastructure. that's something that has a lot of people worried because the damage that was caused to the infrastructure, the transmission lines, the towers, could take a long time to repair. when the mayor was here earlier today we talked about the power, and this is what he had to say. >> i think you mentioned you lost power as well? >> yeah, i don't have power at my house. it was a real wake-up to me, to try to turn the lights on this morning, and realize, hey, and i can't even fix my coffee. so, you know, i'm living the life that houstonians are but there's people a lot less fortunate than me. >> reporter: the mayor also without power at home, and many others in the area that will have to wait for a lot of these repairs to be made.

again, it can take days, the judge, the harris county judge said it could be weeks because of the amount of damage. today they are still assessing that damage not just to the infrastructures but also the injuries. the major said they've reported four people dying, but they are looking into a fifth case that perhaps of another person that might have died during the storm. again, all of that still being assessed. zinhle. >> our condolences with those families and hoping people stay safe. guad, thank you. it is the story that is shocking golf fans today, the number one player in the world is now facing a second degree felony charge. scottie scheffler was arrested this morning after allegedly assaulting a police officer. it happened while he was on his way to play in the second round of the pga championship louisville, kentucky. he teed off just a few hours after being released from jail. let's bring in nbc news correspondent elwyn lopez, tracking this one for us. elwyn, can you walk through what happened this morning, and what are we hearing from scheffler at this point? >> reporter: zinhle, as you can

see in the video it's really dark, it was early in the morning, it was around 6:00 a.m. when all of this took place, there had been a fatal collision there, so, as you can imagine, heavy presence. and scottie scheffler was trying to get to the course for the second part of the tournament, so, as he was trying to do that, police say that an officer stopped him, that that officer gave him directions, and that scottie scheffler did not comply with those directions. then they allege that he accelerated, dragging the officer grountd, the officer did suffer injuries and was transported to the hospital, what is interesting is what scheffler's attorney is saying, he's saying this is all a big misunderstanding, that scheffler showed his credentials as he is told to do and that he tried to get into the course, and he also says that multiple eyewitnesses say that scheffler did nothing wrong, that he was complying with officers' commands, in other words no assault on any officer by part of scheffler. so i want to read a little bit

of what scheffler said in a statement. he says, quote, that it was a very chaotic situation, understandably still considering the tragic accident, that it occurred earlier, and that there was a big misunderstanding of what i thought i was being asked to do. i never intended to disregard any of the instructions. so that is what scheffler is saying as of right now, we know that a lot of fans are supporting him, and in all after this we saw that people were wearing free scottie with shirts with his mug shot on it. a lot of back and forth, and he'll be arraigned next tuesday. >> thank you so much. for today's cnbc money minute, exiter is officially x.com, and a popular video series coming back after more than a decade. kate rogers joins us now. >> twitter is officially x.com

we're back with breaking news, the man convicted of attacking former house speaker nancy pelosi's husband in san francisco has just been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. david depap was found guilty in his federal trial in november. in october 2022 he broke into the pelosi's home and hit paul pelosi with a hammer, fracturing his skull. steve patterson is following this for us. this sentence is lower than what prosecutors were asking more. what did we hear in court and have we heard any reaction from the pelosi family is this. >> it's a compromise. lower than what prosecutors were pushing for but higher than the recommended guidelines, which would have been 25 years as recommended by the probation department. what it ended up with is 30 years, but of course lower than the 40 years that prosecutors were pushing for. prosecutors really wanted this terrorism, essentially what amounts to a terrorism enhancement on top of this sentencing that was recommended. they were saying that not only

did david depap knowingly strike paul pelosi with a hammer, in doing so he was trying to kidnap nancy pelosi. and in the charges, was obstructing, essentially, a public official from conducting her duties. they were also arguing on top of that, this was an intimidation of the federal government itself, that the actions that depap took were so heinous, and so bad that he was trying to obstruct and intimidate people from doing their job in the government. you know, obviously with sort of the compromise sentence we got i think the judge half agreed with that but didn't fully commit to that. we didn't hear what actually happened in court but we heard from prosecutors outside who said this lined up with somebody that essentially exited a very heinous act and they wanted to set the record and set a precedent for anybody that would do something similar in the future. >> steve, this doesn't enend with the federal sentencing. where a does that case stand? >> we know they're going to do a

jury selection coming up next week but there are five charges there, he's looking at another sentence, up to life in prison for that. he's going away, no matter what. zinhle? >> all right steve patterson, thank you. texas governor greg abbott is facing growing criticism for pardoning an army sergeant, murdering a black lives matter protester. daniel perry was sentence today 25 years in prison last year for shooting and killing air force veteran garrett foster in austin a few months after george floyd's murder. perry was released from jail within one hour of the governor's pardon. nbc news correspondent marissa parra is following this one. >> reporter: let's recap here, it was july of 2020. we know perry was working as an uber driver during a black lives matter demonstration there, and foster was part of a group of people who add approached this consider, and this, what i'm about to say is according to not to just perry's representation but also what we have seen from the interrogation video that has since been released. but perry said that foster

approached him, and that he was armed, and they had pointed his gun at h im, all of his actions that followed were a matter of self-defense. his representation has argued this falls under the umbrella of the stand your ground law. now, since perry was sentenced last year to 25 years, we know that texas governor greg abbott has faced pressure from conservatives to pardon him, and we know that the pardon board unanimously ruled to do that. governor abbott vowed to sign the bard as soon as it hit his desk and that's what we saw here. we're hearing a lot from different people here, including the district attorney jose garza who said the board and the governor made a mockery of our legal system, continuing on to say they have sent a message to garrett foster's family and his partner, and to our community that his life does not matter. we've had a chance to briefly speak with foster's family, his mother says that she does not feel safe in this state of texas anymore, that she has lost faith in the legal system in texas,

with perry now a free man, zinhle. >> marissa parra, thank you, and you can catch more of marisa's reporting including her interview with the mother of garrett foster tonight with lester holt. supreme court justice samuel alito is facing new backlash today, why some say he displayed a pro-trump symbol days after the january 6th riot on the capitol. we'll have how he's responding, that's coming up next, right that's coming up next, right here on "nbc news daily." before my doctor and i chose breztri for my copd, i had bad days.

(♪♪) san francisco home has learned his fate in the federal case against him. it marks the end of a year and a half long court battle. our ginger conejero saab was inside the courtroom as the judge made her decision. the judge handed down his sentence for david depape, the man who is convicted of attacking paul pelosi. she handed down the sentence of 30 years in prison. now there are two counts that david depape was charged with in this federal case. one is for attempted kidnaping that the judge gave him a 20 year sentence. and there's a second count that was a an assault on a family member of a federal official. he was sentenced to 30 years on that count. now, both of those sentences will be served concurrently, which is

why he will serve 30 years in prison. a big question for the judge this morning was how will david depapes mental state play a role in his sentence, saying prosecutors made the case saying it was necessary to keep depape away from the public for as long as possible. we're showing you some body cam footage that was released from the attack, and this is why prosecutors are asking or we're asking i should say, for 40 years that had an enhancement of terrorism. that was a longer sentence than what is usually recommended by the u.s. probation office defense attorneys. however, ford depape this morning were making the case that depape has not had any prior record they were requesting for 14 years. they believe that that amount was significant. also they made the case that this was not a murder case and he should not get the same sentence sentencing as it was now. another really telling part of this morning was the daughter of nancy pelosi and paul pelosi. read the victim impact statements from both her

parents. really talking about how in the last year and a half, their family has felt the impact of what has happened. the harm has continued in their family. paul pelosi, still feeling the effects of his injuries from that night. ginger conejero. nbc, bay area news. sonoma state is ending the school year in controversy. the school's president has announced his retirement. it comes just days after he was suspended on tuesday, president mike lee sent out a campus wide message agreeing to meet some of the demands of pro-palestinian protesters on campus. however, the california state university chancellor says lee posted the message without proper approval, so he was placed on administrative leave. in the message, lee offered divestment strategies and said sonoma state would end academic relations with israeli schools. csu chancellor mildred garcia shared a statement on the president's retirement, saying in part, quote, i thank president lee for

his years of service to the california state university, starting at cal state university, sacramento, and to higher education overall. i wish him and his family well. it is not clear who will replace him in idaho. man is now behind bars for a crime. police say he committed 20 years ago in the bay area. back in 2002, eric ferguson was suspected of kidnaping and raping a girl in oakley, court documents show the girl was under 18 at the time. yesterday, a judge in contra costa county issued an arrest warrant for this man, ferguson was arrested in idaho. he is now waiting to be extradited back here to california. another beautiful day out. get ready to enjoy the sunshine and clear skies as we head into the weekend. here's meteorologist kari hall. hi kari, as we take a look at our high temperatures for today. expected to only reach 62 degrees for half moon bay, as we see the clouds and the fog linger, there will be a cool day and a little bit warmer for san mateo as we start to get

some peeks of sunshine by the early afternoon, but then where it clears up a lot more quickly, we're going to see temperatures warming up into the mid to upper 70s in parts of the north bay, and spots like santa rosa, napa will be in the mid to upper 70s and then looking at tomorrow, there's really not much of a change. so we're settling into this pattern with a wide range and temperatures as you go across the bay area, you want to make sure that you're prepared for just about anything, and our temperatures will be as warm as 81 on sunday. while in the low 60s near the coastline. and we'll check out our seven day coming up in about 30 minutes. thank you. carrie mayor london breeds plan to get pandas to san francisco just hit a roadblock. the mayor has been pushing to get pandas from china to the san francisco zoo for months now, and last month, brie took a trip to china. and when she came back, she announced a plan that she had made. it called for $25 million to be raised to build their enclosure at the sf zoo. but yesterday a supervisor's committee shot down the plan. they said it was a distraction from more urgent funding issues.

found the bodies of three israeli hostages in gaza. an idf spokesman says they were killed while escaping the hamas attacks on october 7. right now in gaza the u.s. military says trucks carrying humanitarian aid are starting to move in through its temporary pier. the aid is the first to enter gaza by sea in two months, however, humanitarian groups say it's far short of what's actually needed. international correspondent josh lederman joins us now. i do want to start with breaking news about the bodies of those hostages who were found, what more do we know? >> well, in a way, it's sad to say this, zinhle, it's not terribly surprising. we know that while israel estimated there were roughly 100 hostages in gaza, in addition to about 30 they believed were already dead there, that the number that is already dead is likely far higher than that 30, and so now we have learned that three of them have been recovered. they were all captured on october 7th as they were fleeing

that music festival in southern gaza at kibbutz reim, two in their 20s, the families are preparing to bury them in israel, but certainly this is not creating anymore optimism that any of those remaining hostages will be brought home alive, given the fact that the cease-fire and hostage release talks appear to be at somewhat of a stand still at this moment, although in an attempt to try to keep some of that alive, that optimism alive, the white house does say it is sending national security adviser jake sullivan to saudi arabia and then to israel in the coming days to work on a cease-fire talk, among other things. >> josh, talking about humanitarian aid that's entering gaza through the floated pier we reported on earlier this week. how is that operation working and what's the status overall of getting aid into gaza by land. >> it hasn't really been getting in by land in nearly the numbers it needs to deal with the humanitarian crisis there in

part because the rafah border crossing hasn't been opened and because israeli settlers have been attacking trucks making their way through israel. that's why this new sea route is important. the aid gets staged in cypress and gets moved on big ships to a floating platform, a couple miles off the shore of gaza where it is then loaded onto smaller u.s. navy vessels that bring it to a floating pier that's attached to the shore in gaza. it's supposed to be handed over to the u.n. and local aid groups to bring it to those who really need it. >> important reporting, thank you. turning to an nbc news exclusive, a group of top border officials are under new scrutiny over their ties to a wealthy businessman along the southern border. the home lance security inspector general as well as cbp's aufgs of professional responsibility are investigating whether the the chief jason

owens have -- security correspondent julia ainsley joins us now. first off, explain to us who is eduardo garza and what are these border patrol officials accused of doing? >> eduardo garza has a ranch in laredo, texas, as well as properties in mexico, and he is in the import/export business, according to his company's website they advise clients who do international cross-border trade on things like tariffs and the best places where they can do trading, and go across these borders. he's someone who stands to benefit financially from the policies and from the jobs being done by top cdp officials, those are exactly the kind of people that he wined and dined, we have found out about, five times. three times at that ranch in laredo, and twice in mexico, including here when we introduced them to this tequila maker who said that he might make a border patrol tequila for the 100th anniversary.

why this matters is because generally people like garza are considered a prohibited source under federal ethics guidelines, and people are not supposed to be taking anything of value from them, and as we can see in the pictures and videos we've reviewed that's exactly what he provided them with. >> really helpful context there, julia. have we heard anything from border patrol or the officials being investigated? >> well, as far as we know they're telling us, just the investigation is ongoing, this is being investigated by the d.h.s. inspector general as well as cdp's own internal watchdog, the office of professional responsibility, a spokesperson says they still have confidence in their senior leaders but i will tell you, just late last night. owens posted on "x," he is cancelling a gala next week that was supposed to be for that border patrol centennial, that was sponsored by a lot of government contractors, so right now, the ethics and border patrol all under a lot of scrutiny.

in today's mental health check child abuse can have long term consequences affecting physical and emotional well-being well into adulthood. one in seven children, and the abuse can take on if m forms, including physical, emotional and sexual, as well as neglect. and heads up, some of the topics we're about to discuss may not be suitable for young children. joining me is sherry botwin, a sexual abuse survivor and trauma specialist and author of the new book stolen childhood, thriving after abuse. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> i truly believe there's power in sharing our own stories so thank you for being generous with yours, talk to us about your journey and what inspired you to write this book. >> i came from a very abusive family as a child. i survived over 20 years of childhood sexual abuse.

what i did during my childhood is, i said to myself, you can't get out now, but some day, you're going to get out in the world, and you're going to tell your story, and that was what really helped me to keep fighting, to surviving, and then as soon as i got my masters in social work, i got myself into intense therapy, went to therapy three or four days a week for ten years, and i'm also a therapist. so the longer i've been in recovery and working with other people, the more i wanted to get the word out and say, there's so much hope that comes from recovery and healing after abuse. >> it's powerful to hear you say that. you talk about thriving in recovery, thriving through recovery, and what's your message to someone who's listening, saying that's me, i need to do something. >> something that happens for people who survived abuse, they feel like they can't ask for help. i should be able to handle this on my own.

i don't need any help. the way to thrive is to really begin to face our trauma, to let ourselves know what happened, to be able to understand the impact, and to say, you know what, there's so many things that i want in my life and in order to thrive, what do i need to do to be able to thrive and have what i want? and that's about making all of your dreams and accomplishments really come to life. >> we're talking about childhood abuse but the reality is, right, that's like the soil of life. adulthood is us blooming, and often the consequences of that bleed into adulthood, and people might carry guilt or shame, how do you recommend they move fast that, through that? >> i think carrying guilt and shame is something we have to accept that we're going to have to spend the rest of our lives working through that, to be able to look in the mirror, and say to ourselves, it wasn't my fault. i am worthy. i am lovable. i didn't do anything wrong. so really reminding ourselves, if we need to multiple times a

day, i'm a good person, and i lost my childhood, but i want my adulthood, and why shouldn't i have that? >> what are actionable steps people can take? their journey toward recovery? >> so you can go to therapy. for sure. but you can also do things like make a vision board, and put on that board the things that you want. i want to parent, i want to partner, i want to be successful in my job. write those things down. say to yourself, every single day, this is something that i can do, i am worth this, and i am going to keep fighting. >> and, you know, i mentioned some stats at the beginning, the reality is, many of us will pass people in our lives, or have people in our lives, who have experienced child abuse, how best based on your experience, going through it and now supporting people in it, how best can we support? >> what you're doing right now, you're sitting here, and you're listening, you're asking me questions, providing your loved ones a witness, saying i'm here for you. i may not understand some of what you've been through, but i

love you, i believe in you, and i'm here. that's really what loved ones can do, they can stand by us, and stay in a place of acceptance, and knowing that all is going to be okay. >> really powerful message. well sherry, it's an honor to receive and witness your story, thank you for sharing it with our audience, we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> yeah, thank you, don't go anywhere, a lot more news ahead, thank you for being with us, you are watching "nbc news daily." if you have chronic kidney disease you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with farxiga. because there are places you'd like to be. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, an allergic reaction, or ketoacidosis.
