Brandnew hour and fox news alert. Former President Donald Trump staring down four federal charges stemming from Special Counsel jack smith investigation into january 6th. Im sandra smith in new york. A brandnew hour of America Reports starts right now and it is a treat to have you here today. Hello, rich. Rich great to be here, sandra. Thanks so much. Im rich edson, john roberts has the day off. The former president is expected to be arraigned in Federal Court In Washington tomorrow. Sandra many think the latest indictment will do that again. Rich aishah, what are lawmakers saying . Rich, congress is still on its august recess, but we are already seeing House Republicans begin to strategize on what actions they might take next in response to this latest indictment of the former president , including pulling on the purse strings, that is congresss power. Republican firebrand matt gaetz and Marjorie Taylor greene are calling to defund Special Counsel jack smith. Some folks are eyeing the appropriations process coming up, but gaetz is demanding that his conference bypass that all together and vote on his proposed bill now. We have not heard anything from House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy yet or gop leadership, but any such measure, keep in mind, would not really get through a democratcontrolled senate. Jim jordan has already come to trumps defense, waiting to see if hes going to demand that jack smith come testify on capitol hill. Hes already requested a lot of documents related to the Special Counsel investigations into trump. Republicans are taking particular issue with the conspiracy to defraud charge, where trump disputes the 2020 election results, everybody from joe biden, nancy pelosi, Hillary Clinton made similar statements over the 2016 election. They are also raising questions about the timing of all of this, particularly because this came just one day after the Devon Archer Testimony. The timeline is really odd. Donald trump is the frontrunner, they want to dismantle his campaign and if they could they would put him in prison. Like him to be in prison by the time the election comes. So Leaders Schumer and jeffries, excuse me, democrats are calling for no outside interference as this case moves forward and schumer and jeffries released a scathing joint statement accusing trump of personally orchestrating the attack on the capitol, calling it a months long plot by the president to defy democracy and overturn the will of the american people. And House Democrats were already taking credit for this before it ever even dropped. Rich. Rich Aishah Hasnie live on capitol hill, thank you. Sandra live to nashville, an event we have been anticipating. Vivek ramaswamy, hes live there in nashville, and he is there to call on authorities to release the Covenant School shooters manifesto. Dip in here and listen to what he has to say there. It is a long standing tradition of Law Enforcement in the United States of america to when it is recovered release the manifesto of the shooter. We have to learn from tragedy, to prevent in the future. Manifesto of the killer was made public in the following instances, allen, texas, buffalo, new york, charleston, south carolina, isla vista, california, poway, california, in all cases within 48 hours of the tragedy. The public demanded the same happen here in nashville immediately after the tragedy in march. In fact, the National Police association has since sued City Officials and county officials demanding the same. It turned out that on april 27th governor bill lee, the governor of the state pledged to release the manifesto. Yet today sitting here in august with nothing other than stone walled silence from our government. That is wrong. That does not build public trust. That erodes public trust. Im here today to make a demand of the governor of tennessee, to make a demand of the National Police department, to make a demand of the fbi. Release the manifesto. Speak the truth. The hard times are the times where we must most openly speak that truth. It is hardest to speak the truth under difficult circumstances, but that is when we require it the most. I understand that there are legitimate concerns that we do not want details released that will motivate copy cats, i dont want that. The Fellow Americans who have called for the release of the manifesto dont want that either and it would be perfectly reasonable for the police to redact any sections of the manifesto that lay out plans, plots on details of execution that could be copied by another individual. What we do need to know is this killers motives, this killers psychological State Of Mind, the truth of the matter that we have a Mental Health epidemic in this Country Driving A Wave of violence around this country and we are going to have to deeply understand it if we are to address it. History teaches us that we make our worst Policy Decisions as a nation when we suppress the truth on the back of a tragedy. Take the tragedy of the covid19 pandemic. We would not have shuttered schools in this country if we had been allowed to debate in the open School Closures and hear the truth about covid19. We would not have mandated covid vaccines so quickly if we had been allowed sandra really interesting moment in nashville, where obviously a gop candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is standing there, march 27, 2023, the shooting took place, the manifesto to which he is referring of the national shooter, audrey hale, the parents transferred it to the Covenant School parents. The parents are battling to not have that manifesto released, which is obviously an interesting thing in and of itself that they are working with the shooters family to keep that manifesto from going public. Vivek ramaswamy is making the case that we need to learn from tragedy to improve the future, that we have to address what is in that manifesto in order to make things better and make things safer in the future. So an interesting stance, rich, from Vivek Ramaswamy who has been very vocal on many issues. This is the first time we have heard him speak directly to that. Rich yes, it is, sandra. Usually around this time president ial hopefuls are in iowa and new hampshire, but you know, hes leading somewhat of an unprecedented president ial campaign here, Pretty Atypical for Vivek Ramaswamy, hes a businessman, made issues that go beyond the normal political issues and certainly wanted to make one of it here, and as you mentioned, there is opposition from the families of the shooter and many of the victims in this case who do not want this released but there are many legal efforts to try for the opposite. Sandra we are going to continue to monitor his words from nashville, and many are watching and listening to that. Back to the Trump Indictment at this hour our top story, Wall Street Journal Penning A Blistering editorial writing this potentially criminalizes many kinds of actions and statements by a President A Prosecutor deems to be false. You dont have to be a defender of donald trump to see where this will lead. Kimberly, thank you for being here today. All right, so the Justice Department drops the third indictment, talking to mike davis about the timing of this, following Hunter Bidens former Business Partner sitting down for the Big News Making Interview is interesting to note. But where do you think all of this goes next . Well, i mean, i was really struck by the weakness of the conspiracy charges in particular in this indictment because essentially what they are saying is that donald trump was told by many people that his election claims were not true and yet he acted on those anyway. The problem is many people were giving him opposite information so to Me Jack Smith needs to go to Donald Trumps State Of Mind and thats what the indictment is missing. Some documentation or email that trump says i know this is untrue and im saying it anyway and taking actions on it anyway. So, how do you go do that State Of Mind, i dont know. Im also very concerned about the president , for future actions, not just president ial candidates but any politician. Rich since the beginning of the country was an operational system, you lost the election that was it, you got off the stage. And you had a situation that led up to january 6th and in the aftermath of january 6th democrats and many republicans were saying, or some republicans were saying the legal system needs to deal with this. Is the legal system even set up for this . Well, its not, and i think the other thing the indictment is missing is that context you mentioned, rich, which is it wasnt just a lot of confusion over lastminute changes to election laws, many demanded by democrats in lawsuits and the last minute running up to the election, but a lot of confusion over laws, like the electoral count act, and who has what authority when it comes to that day on january 6th of counting electors. Obviously Donald Trumps team had a novel theory about that, we had seen Congress People object in prior elections, including 2000, 2004 and 2016, and the president here, if the new standard is going to be n i time an elected official lies about something by the judgment of a prosecutor and takes action on that, are they guilty of conspiracy . If thats it, we need to hire busses to chart people to prison in d. C. Sandra and biden, Jonathan Turley on the biden scandal one of the worst in washington history. Listen. Its strange that he flies to china with his son and doesnt ask once, by the way, where are you going to go in china, what are the are you doing business here. I think this is shaping up to be one of the greatest Corruption Scandals in the history of washington. Sandra that puts things in perspective, you agree with that, kimberly . Oh, yeah, absolutely. Look, that was the importance of that Devon Archer Testimony you started with and mentioned, is that at the very least what we now know is that President Biden was untruthful with the country when he claimed to have absolutely no knowledge of his sons business dealings, he was present at some meetings, he was obviously on telephone calls. Democrats are trying to dismiss, oh, he was unaware. You dont end up in meetings being totally unaware, or flight like that totally incurious. Something was going on there and i think the real problem for biden and hunter is that this is just the beginning of House Republicans investigation. They now have a lot of leads, a lot of people to go investigate and the Department Of Justice is going to struggle to continue claiming it cannot give documents or witnesses because of its ongoing hunter investigation, which does not look to be going anywhere. Rich so kim, you have the democratic frontrunner who is in this situation he said he had no knowledge of his son and his son did not earn any money from china, which is now proven not to be the case. And sandra rich, i think you are probably hearing pence coming to your ear, hes speaking right now, the first time we have heard from him on this new indictment. Most of the money is created [indiscernible] are you concerned by decreasing the supply of money you are going to slow down, for example, the Real Estate Market or Small Business . Decreasing or increasing the money supply its really about having a Federal Reserve that stays focused on protecting the dollar instead of trying to prime the pump through lowering Interest Rates or zeroing out Interest Rates as we did in the period of quantitative easing, and creating great hardship for americans when the adjustments and the Interest Rates raised back up are happening. Look, for more than several decades we have had the Federal Reserve basically trying to do two things at once. Achieve full employment and protect the dollar. And when i was a member of congress i actually authored a bill that would end whats called the dual mandate. I think the Federal Reserve should be focused on protecting value of my dollar and hold the president and Congress Accountable for policies make sure americans are working and achieve full employment. Thanks, everybody. Sandra ok, we missed it right off the top there, rich, he did take a question on the new Trump Indictment, said he hoped it would not come to this. Well effort the exact response to that but did move on to talking about the Federal Reserve and his economic policy, pitching to become the next president. Rich he did say last night the country is more important than one man, our constitution is more important than any one mans career. O he was critical of the former president , i dont believe he mentions him by name but he has defended his actions on january 6th, done so for several months now, for a couple years now, and that has been a real point of disagreement between the former president and his former Vice President now as they find themselves political rivals in the nomination for the 2024 republican president ial nomination. Sandra and hes at the indiana state fair, hopefully he goes to get something good to eat now, an elephant ear or two. Kimberly strassel is still with us, interesting to hear the first reaction from former President Trumps former Vice President there. You know, i think it brings up another thing that was missing from that indictment, regardless of what donald trump said, what advice he was being given by the unindicted coconspirators, hes not president right now, hes not sitting in the office and thats because many people decided not to take part in that and the political system in that regard worked. And congress bringing forward impeachment charges, political system meting out some sort of consequence as it were, and so you have to bring the question again, is it worthwhile, is it prudential for this prosecutor to also now bring an indictment, to set a new standard here about what it means to lie to the public and take action on that if you are a political figure, given what it already given we had sorted through this to a certain extent and those people who did attack the capitol are being prosecuted at the moment. Sandra kimberly strassel, good to get your fresh reaction on the Vice President. I believe hes joining us martha on the 3 00 hour so reaction to that and more. Now this. Kimberly thank you.

I dont know, where do you guys think it goes next, garrett, you give it to me. Is this good or bad to the former president and his run for rerun for president . Third time is a charm. I think here what you are seeing is the last two indictments have helped donald trump, surged in the polls since they happened, the New York Times poll shows him in a deadlock with joe biden and trounsing his gop opponents by 37 points. Timing of it helps him, when he first ran for reelection in november, two weeks later the doj then appointments the Special Counsel, when grassley and comer come out with this essentially joe biden is alleged to be in a Bribery Scheme by an fbi source the next day, bomb, the docket in the case falls. And this, devon archers explosive system that joe biden was potentially involved in Hunter Bidens business dealings, certainly had knowledge of them, why are they doing this now two and a half years later and because trump surges in the polls, biden takes a nosedive in the polls and investigations continue to get closer to joe biden. I disagree. I mean, i think the problem we see is that donald trump for the gop has just become too big to fail, no matter what happens republican loyalists are looking away, saying its not not Donald Trumps fault, he can do no wrong, its the doj, its all a political witch hunt and thats what they are saying about the Department Of Justice and i think its a problem. When you just focus on the Department Of Justice doing wrong and going after them for political witch hunt, it leaves the political the real nugget on the table and thats policy. You know, what is trump going to do for the economy. We dont hear any of that. We hear just doj did that, that guy screwed him, this person is doing him wrong. One thing after the other. Data has been coming out the economy is looking good, that President Bidens policies are actually working, and thats going to bode well when we head into 2024. You can blame everyone, but you have to look to yourself to say what are you going to do and i dont hear that coming from the republicans. I hear it from President Biden, he can run on his record and the republicans dont have that. Any policy to stand on. Sandra meanwhile, there are continued questions and rightly so whether or not there is a twotiered Justice System in the country, this is tim scott, what we see are two different tracks of justice. One political opponents and another for the son of the current president. Meanwhile, mike pence taking on his former boss, says anyone who puts himself over the constitution should never be president of the United States. Quick to respond here. Donald trump has put out numerous Policy Videos and speeches, joe biden has not, he has no campaign events, no 65 of voters say the country is headed the wrong direction and 39 approve his presidency. Inflation is higher than before. Tim scott and vivek are seeing where the gop base is going, the voters think its weaponized against donald trump, more and more folks, even ron desantis, next closest challenger weighing in support of donald trump coming closer in that. Mike pence, a good man here but missed the moment and siding with the doj over President Trump i think is wrong. Hes saying hes siding with the constitution. Are we a Constitutional Republic or Something Else . What would you say look aside to say forget about the election results, put me back in power. Where that against the Constitution N you are not allowing peoples votes to count. This is what hes charged with. Sandra all right, all right, let me jump in here and continued reaction to some of what is out there, and this is our ladies at the view stirring up some trials, they are calling for the trump trial to be televised. Reaction to this. Its very important this trial be televised. Important thing to televise. The maga cult will not believe it. This is an exceptional case. Something we have never seen before. American, american. We want to see whats going on. Sandra maga cult. Your reaction to that. Why they are out of step with voters here, regardless if you disagree with republican or democrat voters, their brief is never such a smart thing a. Televised trial would be unprecedented here, probably go against former President Trumps rights here to have a fair trial as well, so i think doing that would just create more of a frenzy that does not need to happen. Bottom line, look at the merit of the cases and not not just dismiss them because of partisan politics and thats where we are creeping down. You hear it on both sides, ignore what he is going on with hunter biden because of political prosecution or the same with donald trump. And unfortunately with one indictment, one charge after the other, it becomes more and more. Sandra timing, the Trump Indictment dropped after each indictment helps him in the polls. Why would they do this, to help him succeed . Sandra and quick question, any indication the former president will be at the debate . He was just at Bedminster Meeting with fox executives, i dont know if it happened or not, its a very interesting question. You could see whether or not hes showed up. Floated to folks of doing counter programming, and hes done this multiple times. He keeps you on a cliff hanger, like an hbo show. Sandra you advise these guys do you think he should show up . I think he should show up. He is one of the strongest debaters. At the end of the day i dont think it matters because Republican Voters trust him. I dont think he shows up. He plays by his own set of rules, hes shown that time and time again but he wants to keep people on edge, maybe i will, but then we see that he wont. Sandra appreciate the discussion, gentlemen. Thank you very much. Rich. Rich the next Big Public Health crisis may not be a virus or disease at all. New warnings that america is becoming a nation full of lonely people. So naturally washington, even a celebrity, are stepping in. Well explain. Sandra i promise they walk away friends every time, they do.

Sandra thousands of afghan allies fled to the u. S. Seeking safety nearly two years ago after the disastrous withdrawal. Now facing an uncertain future. A bill that would help them with permanent residency was left out of the National Defense authorization act. We will speak to a lawyer fighting to keep 43 afghan Women Soldiers here in the u. S. But first, we head to chief National Security correspondent Jennifer Griffin, live at the Peth Pentagon with that. More than 70,000 that came to the u. S. Are still without legal status despite two years of propses from lawmakers and the government their cases would be fast tracked. They are left in legal limbo, and the strain is taking a serious toll. Afghans risking their life to help americans. She commanded 43 Afghan Female Commandos trained by the u. S. Military. 30 were evacuated alongside with the soldiers they served alongside ten years. Only some have received asylum. They recently visited the pentagon where the u. S. Army facing a Recruiting Shortage wants to enlist them but cant because they dont yet have green cards. A because of these problems we cannot focus on anything because we done Have Permanent Status. Doesnt give us a better job because we dont Have Permanent Status here. Major mary colares and other veterans are lobbying capitol hill for legislation that would give them a path to citizenship. Major colares described how brave minaz and the other were during fire fights. She came out on a rope, helicopter hovering about, i dont know, anywhere from 30 to 70 feet and slid down a rope under gunfire, you know, not a lot of u. S. Service members have done. The Afghan Adjustment Act got removed from the Defense Authorization act last week, and now republicans led by senator tom cotton, Lindsey Graham and tom tillis and others are trying to negotiate with democrats to find a solution. Senator cotton introduced an alternate bill. I feel like the Afghanistan Afghan adjustment act is caught in the domestic policies of both parties. Both parties have Good Intention but here we are. We have to make a decision about the lives of more than 60,000 afghans who live in the u. S. And they want a Brighter Future and be like everyone else. Senator cottons bill focuses on more security vetting, the 43 ftps have already been vetted over and over by the u. S. Government, sandra. Sandra Jennifer Griffin live at the pentagon, thank you. Rich. Rich lets bring in renata paris, representing three afghan soldiers, and im sure your clients are extremely frustrated with the process. Whats the mindset, are they hopeful, frustrated with the United States, how are they feeling . Thank you for having me here today and giving us the opportunity to talk about these heroes. They are incredibly frustrated. We put together a legal task force that represents them and we immediately put together Asylum Applications and filed those on those behalf. Those applications have been sitting with the u. S. Department of homeland security, u. S. Citizen and Immigration Services and as jennifer mentioned earlier, only 12 of those applications have been granted out of the 43. So this have been a very frustrating process for them and they are in wait for more permanent legal status in the United States. Rich whats the explanation the government gives here, why is this taking so long . They havent gotten an explanation from the u. S. Government. The u. S. Government came out with a program called Operation Allies welcome that they were going to ex petite the applications for afghan nationals and do it, they said, within 150 days barring exceptional circumstances. And so far they have all been interviewed but for 1 or 2 of them and the applications have just been sitting. The only explanation they received is they are in a background vetting process, which really does not feel like a satisfactory response for a bunch of heros who served alongside u. S. Military in afghanistan. Rich we have heard some stories in jennifers report how the women helped America Forces in afghanistan. What would they face if they returned to afghanistan . Without a doubt these individuals would be persecuted and potentially tortured should they return to afghanistan. They are one of the most soughtout groups of people in afghanistan due to their gender, their ethnic status, and certainly their military service. We have no doubt that they are exactly the kind of people the Protection Laws of the United States contemplate and so there should be and are deserving of asylum and permanent resident status here in the United States. Rich you see from some of the headlines that come out, this sums it all up, United Nations characterizing afghanistan under taliban leadership as the worlds most oppressive country for women. You talked about the prohibitions about certain things in American Society like work. How difficult is it for them to live here . Its incredibly difficult. Its complete legal limbo. Right now the women are beneficiaries of humanitarian parole, a very temporary status. They have received some benefits but Nothing Akin To Permanent Status in the United States to enable them to have meaningful jobs, including as jennifer said, serving for the u. S. Military or contributing to our National Security objectives in other kinds of meaningful ways. Benefit from other types of Social Services and most of all, would benefit from the Mental Wellbeing of understanding they can now live permanently and their service was appreciated by the United States. Renata, thanks so much. Thank you for having met.

Not the first armed up rising in recent years, its the fifth successful coup since niger gained independence in 1960.

Hesitation may be justified, a new study should goes charging a car can sometimes cost more than filling up at the gas station. Fox businesss kelly ogrady is live in new york city. Department of transportation is accelerating the green push. The Department Of Transportation issued a proposal that would essentially force all new vehicles to be electric by 2032. Thats aggressive, especially considering the e. V. S are already selling below manufacturers suggested retail price. Four e. V. S are at or below msrp, and they say it proves the Current Business model is not sustainable. When its electric cars piling up at dealer lots, whether its longer time to turn for the vehicles, whether its new manufacturers lowering their prices on their new e. V. S to try to keep them moving, every indication we have kind of hit maybe a threshold in the e. V. Market and all of a sudden its become much harder to sell vehicles. On top of that, the headline are e. V. S are a cheaper alternative to gas cars, may be more expensive to buy but over time you save money. It does not account for the cost to install a home charger or the cost to drive a charger. It may not seem like a big deal in california, but per 100 miles entry level price gassed vehicle is almost 3 cheaper than the e. V. Counterpart. Mid priced was 1. 50 cheaper.

Maga republicans defined by chaos, callousness and reckless. Im so grateful, i dont know why janet yellen does not call me directly. Sandra shes defiant, saying it never should have been downgraded. I dont think the fitch Credit Rating means a thing, fitch was given aaa ratings to mortgageback bonds in the 2000s so much for fitch. A problem with spending, 25 of g. D. P. Federal spending, historic range is 20. So you are at 25, and theres no sign of that letting up. Second point, i know joe biden says he cut the Budget Deficit by 1. 7 trillion, for which the Washington Post gives him a bottom line pinocchio, correctly. But this year, this year the Budget Deficit is heading for 2. 25 trillion, roughly 6 of g. D. P. And the next few years, not in a deep recession, not in a war, the next few years we will be running deficits as a share of the economy roughly 6 , that is historically, incredibly high, twice as high as any average we have ever had and spending remains at 25 of g. D. P. So somebody has to have some institutional restraint on federal spending. You have the Federal Reserve deflating. Sandra interesting point based on the sound i was going to toss to you. I want to say, the government is inflating, inflating the Federal Reserve is deflating. Two policy arms are loggerheads, im sorry. Sandra Charles Payne had some interesting things to say last hour, but one is making the forecast on the recession or not. There is no reason for the u. S. To fall into recession. Only way to fall into recession is if the fed is so focused on 2 and wants to deliver it quickly that it overtightens. Sandra and the 2 is 2 inflation. So if they are so aggressive at achieving that, hes warning there is no reason for recession, but they inflict so much pain on the American Economy that possibly drives us to recession. Muhammad is a friend, a great guy but a lot is baked in the cake. Looking at models i like, 70 chance of recession the next 12 months, thats my view based on the collapse of the index of leading indicators, collapse of the money supply, the inverted yield curve, so i think you are seeing a recession in manufacturing already, ism Manufacturing Index was down for the 8th straight month, some such thing, get services out tomorrow. So recession threat, regardless of what the fed does for the next one quarter of a percentage point but the bigger issue coming back to fitchs thing there has to be some budgetary restraint. Newt gingrinch was on the show the other night and talking about the need to Start Talking about a balanced budget. People have stopped talking about it. The last was in 1990s when gingrinch was speaker of the house and greenspan was chairman. You cant keep running 6 of g. D. P. Deficit, its unhealthy. Sandra something is going to give. Something is going to give. Sandra and maybe the fitch rating is the beginning of it. You have to have Budget Resolutions coming up, thats very, very important. Sandra there is a chiron under you that this the current Biden Administration, this is the trump downgrade, talking about the fitch and janet yellen says she strongly disagrees with this, puzzling in the light of economic strength we are seeing across country right now. He hasnt been president for three years. Are you going to blame trump, really . When it rains you blame trump, too humid you blame trump and when trump exercises free speech you blame trump. How about some Budget Restraint and stop blaming trump, for heaven sakes. Sandra we have some Breaking News. Rich Breaking News here, Capitol Hill Police are asking everyone to shelter in place. Chad pergram knows the building and series of buildings more than anybody. Whats going on . Russell senate building, i heard a lot of traffic on the radios, they have evacuated the Russell Senate Office Building, across the street from the u. S. Capitol and read what the police have put out here, officers are searching in around around the Senate Office buildings, grand total of 3 in response to a concerning 911 call, stay away from the area as we are communicating. And this from our Hillary Vaughn with fox business said they evacuated the russell rotunda, and said the officers were screaming at everybody in the Office Building to get down the stairs as quickly as possible, they ran down three flights of stairs, you had officers with their rifles up saying put up your hands, put up your hands and get out of the building as fast as you can. So, Hillary Vaughn was with Aishah Hasnie, our other correspondent in the russell building, so they have dumped the russell building but dont know precisely what they have, at least they are not saying publicly what its about right now. They just say there was this concerning 911 call that came in to the Capitol Police and they are investigating right now. We get some of these evacuations from time to time where they say they are going to close off a building or hallway. This is a little bit different. Keep in mind the house and senate are not in session right now, there are a lot of tourists here at the capitol, you still have Staff Reporting to work in the russell Office Building. This is where a lot of the senators have their offices, again, just across the street from the capitol. They did not lock down the entire capitol complex, the u. S. Capitol itself is still open at this point but they are looking for this person dealing with this very strange 911 call that came in and looking through the Russell Senate Office Building and again, this is specific to the other two, the dirkson building behind it and the hart building, rich. Sandra and thank you for the update as we are looking live at the capitol and getting any information we can, which is very little at this point, this is a live camera you can see police activity. The u. S. Capitol police say there is a report of possible active shooter at the Senate Buildings and as chad is reporting, the Capitol Police asked everyone inside, said they should be sheltering in place if you are inside. They have evacuated the russell building, correct, chad . Thats correct, evacuated russell and Something Else i should flag, a lot of rumors floating around, telling people to shelterinplace, from the Capitol Police, in the Senate Buildings, shelterinplace, there was a report of an active shooter and the police are saying they have not heard any gunshots. Sandra the Capitol Police saying we do not have any confirmed reports of gunshots. Maybe well learn something more shortly. Rich and from the news desk in washington, hearing its a Mental Health crisis. D. C. Fire says no reason to believe its an active shooter and chad, get into the Security Posture up there on capitol hill, what do you have to go through as a member of the citizenry to get into one of these buildings . You can go into the Russell Senate Office Building or the other Office Buildings without a pass. There are certain places you have to come in if you are a tourist or have appointment, certainly entrances for staff and the members of the press corps. But this you can come and go from the offices. And i had inquired if they were going to enhance the overall Security Posture at the capitol because of the appearance tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon by the former president at the federal courthouse, which is just at the foot of capitol hill. They had not implemented any of that as of this morning and i was told there was no concern right now toward the capitol connected to this. And we are not connecting it in any way, shape or form to what will happen at the federal courthouse tomorrow. Sandra following the direction of the officers and clearly what you see live on the screen right now. People are heading certain directions based on where the police are telling them to go. Our coverage will continue. Thanks for joining us. Im sandra martha Breaking News on capitol hill. Well stay on top of that. Good afternoon. Im martha maccallum.
