Hallquist telling cnns don lemon this is a critical time for all oppressed americans. I think we should be talking about all marginalized communities. You know, certainly, if i look at whats happening certainly at the national level, you know, theres a systematic attack, and its going to start, you know, its going to start with the most marginalized of the communities. So, the fact that our president has gone after the Transgender Community is no surprise, and i think everybody should be afraid. In the connecticut primary, the 2016 National Teacher of the year could become the states first black democrat in congress, Johanna Hayes will take on republican manny santos, former mayor of meridan, in november. In wisconsin, leah vukmir is projected to have captured the gop senate primary, defeating former democrat and marine kevin nicholson. She will take on Tammy Baldwin in november. And in the governors race in wisconsin, democrats selecting state schools chief tony evers to challenge the republican incumbent, scott walker. History also made in minnesota. Democrats in the Fifth District nominating state representative ilhan omar, a progressive somaliamerican woman, for a congressional seat. And congressman Keith Ellison won the democratic nomination for Minnesota Attorney general, despite allegations of Domestic Abuse against him. He denies those allegations, but the dnc will begin a review. And we finally have a winner in kansas after the primary there. Kris kobach, the trumpbacked candidate, officially the winner of the republican nomination for governor. The incumbent governor, jeff colyer, conceded last night after absentee and provisional ballots extended kobachs lead to 345 votes out of more than 313,000 cast. All right, the Trump Campaign is filing for arbitration, claiming Omarosa Manigault newman breached a 2016 non disclosure agreement. It is the first legal action sense omarosa published that tellall book about her time as a Senior Adviser to the president , and it comes less than 24 hours after mr. Trump declared there are no tapes of him using the n word on the apprentice, a claim the white house is not backing up. We get more from cnns jeff zeleny at the white house. Reporter christine and ryan, President Trump looking forward to another day with at least no Public Events on the white house schedule, the second day in a row here hes not scheduled to be seen in public. But boy, in private, so much conversation still about those explosive charges in that book by his former top staffer here, africanamerican staffer here at the white house, Omarosa Manigault newman. Now, of course, the president yesterday just being slammed for some of his responses to her, calling her, of course, a cruel word in a tweet in the morning, but then also going throughout the day, just going after her specifically. But it was in the White House Press briefing in the afternoon where White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked about the president and if he has ever said the n word, that racial slur, on tape. Lets watch. Can you stand at the podium and guarantee the American People theyll never hear donald trump utter the n word on a recording in any context . I cant guarantee anything, but i can tell you that the president addressed this question directly. I can tell you that ive never heard it. But of course, the president has given thousands and thousands of hours, if not more than that, of radio interviews, other things, other programs, so she did not want to say that its simply not true, that he could have never said that. Chryistine and ryan. Jeff zeleny at the white house, thank you. Two Trump Campaign adviser omarosa recorded discussing the president s alleged use of the n word claim they were only talking about it because of omarosas bullying tactics. Katrina pierson and lynne patton can be heard discussing the possible existence of a recording. Pierson even suggested mr. Trump is embarrassed by it. Both women now claim they were just trying to get omarosa to move on. Pierson telling cnns erin burnett, the former apprentice star was the, quote, complete epitome of annoying. It got to the point where we had a campaign to run. So, what you hear in that tape, which is not the tape shes been referencing, is me placating to her, which i did a number of times because she would not let this tape go. There were a lot of times that we talked about this tape because omarosa was literally obsessed with it. She brought it up constantly. Its clear now that the reason why she did was because she was surreptitiously recording us. Earlier this week on fox, pierson initially denied having any conversations about the existence of a possible trump n word tape. White House Press SecretarySarah Sanders issuing a rare correction, apologizing for falsely claiming President Trump created three times as many jobs for africanamericans than former president barack obama. This president , since he took office, in the year and a half that hes been here, has created 700,000 new jobs for africanamericans. Thats 700,000 africanamericans that are working now that werent working when this president took place. When president obama left, after eight years in office, eight years in office, he had only created 195,000 jobs for africanamericans. So, thats not even close to true. According to the labor department, the u. S. Has created 700,000 jobs for africanamerican workers during the trump administration. It added nearly 3 million jobs during obamas eight years. Sanders later corrected herself via twitter, saying the jobs numbers were correct, but the time frame for president obama wasnt. Im sorry for the mistake, about the no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for africanamericans created under President Trump. Sanders made the claim while defending President Trumps record on race. Bloomberg first caught the mistake, prompting an apology from the White House Council of economic advisers. It cited a miscommunication to sanders. I will say, there have been a lot of wrong numbers thrown around by the administration about the economy. This is a rare apology and correction. A rare apology and correction on any topic, much less just economic numbers. All right. In pennsylvania, a grand jury report reveals a jawdropping amount of child sex abuse by priests. It says there are credible allegations against more than 300 priests suspected of abusing more than 1,000 children dating back to the 1940s. The report investigates clergy sex abuse in six diocese across the state, covering 54 of 67 counties. Emotional victims spoke out in a video provided by the state attorney general. I was groomed starting young. The day i met him, i was around 18 months old. They targeted me because i was fatherless. I was in my diaper, and i ran out and ran right to him.

Christine and ryan, Officials Say that this report written by 23 pennsylvania grand jurors is the largest, most comprehensive into child sexual abuse within the Catholic Church that has ever been produced in the United States. The report states that there were credible allegations found against over 300 priests, over 1,000 child victims were identifiable from the churchs own records, but they believe that the real number of children whose records were lost or who were afraid to come forward is actually in the thousands. This 884page report took two years to put together, and there are many redactions. The Attorney Generals Office is going to Court Next Month to fight for those redactions to be revealed, saying, every redaction represents an incomplete story of abuse that deserves to be told. The members of the grand jury wrote in their report, we need you to hear this. There have been other reports about child sex abuse within the Catholic Church, but never on this scale. For many of us, those earlier stories happened someplace else. Now we know the truth it happened everywhere. Because of the coverup, almost all of the abuse is too old to be prosecuted. The grand jury has issued presentments against two priests who allegedly assaulted children within the statute of limitations. And there also may be more indictments in the future because the investigation is continuing. Christine, ryan . All right, jean, thanks for that. Just a terrible story, no matter how you slice it.

Christine hallquist became the nations first transgender Major Party Nominee for governor. Cnn projecting the former Energy Company executive won last nights democratic primary in vermont.

I think we should be talking about all marginalized communities. You know, certainly, if i look at whats happening certainly at the national level, you know, theres a systematic attack, and its going to start, you know, its going to start with the most marginalized of the communities. So, the fact that our president has gone after the Transgender Community is no surprise, and i think everybody should be afraid.

Incumbent governor jeff colyer conceded the race last night after absentee and provisional ballots extended kobachs lead to 345 votes out of more than 313,000 cast. And the Trump Campaign is filing for arbitration, claiming that Omarosa Manigault newman breached a 2016 nondisclosure agreement. It is the first legal action sense omarosa published a tellall book about her time as a Senior Adviser to the president , and it comes less than 24 hours after mr. Trump declared there are no tapes of him using the n word on the apprentice, a claim the white house, though, is not backing up. We get more from cnns jeff zeleny, who is at the white house. Reporter christine and ryan, President Trump looking forward to another day with at least no Public Events on the white house schedule. The second day in a row here hes not scheduled to be seen in public. But boy, in private, so much conversation still about those explosive charges in that book by his former top staffer here, africanamerican staffer here at the white house, omarosa now, of course, the president yesterday being slammed for some of his responses to her, calling her, of course, a cruel word in a tweet in the morning but then also going throughout the day, just going after her specifically. But it was in the White House Press briefing in the afternoon where White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked about the president and if he has ever said the n word, that racial slur, on tape. Lets watch. Can you stand at the podium and guarantee the American People theyll never hear donald trump utter the n word on a recording in any context . I cant guarantee anything, but i can tell you that the president addressed this question directly. I can tell you that ive never heard it. Reporter of course, the president has given thousands and thousands of hours, if not more than that, of radio interviews, other things, other programs, so she did not want to say that its simply not true that he could have never said that. Christine and ryan . All right, jeff, thanks. Lets talk about this. Cnn politics digital editor zach wolf is live in washington for us this morning. Hey, zach. Zach, good morning. Lets talk about this omarosa, which really is becoming a bigger and bigger mess for the white house. Perhaps they shouldnt be all that surprised about it, given omaro omarosas history and the president s history with her specifically. But i was interested yesterday to hear some of the chatter on fox in particular. Listen to what geraldo had to say. You cant sing at the same volume, the same tune, when youre talking about north korea and when youre talking about omarosa. The president , by responding at the same kind of tone as she is giving and dishing it out to him i think diminishes him, and i wish he would just cool it. This isnt the first time weve heard this type of advice given to the president , that he shouldnt engage in these kind of theatrics, particularly with someone that was a former reality star. But zach, he never seems to listen to that advice, does he . No, i dont think he can help himse himself. In this particular case, it seems like, you know, there is no strategy by which i think its a good idea to kind of bring omarosa up to his level and get into, you know, essentially an online shouting match with her, calling her names, disparaging her. I just dont understand. Nobody is going to advise him to do that. I dont think its something he can help, though. When he sees the headlines, when he sees the things that shes saying and the ink that shes getting and looking at the charges in her book, i think he probably just cant help himself. You know, i think its fascinating that theres this reality show happening that the president is engaging in, this white house reality show, but this administration is working to chip away, to roll back the legacies of the Obama Administration every single day. Let me give you an example. Betsy devos rule would limit loan relief for defrauded students. That happened the end of last month. Ben carson moving to roll back fair housing rules, rules meant to reduce segregation in public housing. Mick mulvaney looks to weaken oversight of military lending, something that caught advocates for military families off guard. There are real things happening in this Administration Every single day. Its not just a reality show there. Its not just a reality show, but its hard to look away from the, you know, kind of the train wreck headlines that we see every day screaming at us, you know, and the way that he sort of commands attention is almost like a diversion from those other things that are going on. Yeah, other things that affect millions of people, by the way, you know what i mean . Important policies. We had primaries last night. Zach, perhaps the biggest headline is what happened in vermont. The first transgender woman to win a primary for governor, christine hallquist. That happened yesterday. There were a number of results that were a bit surprising. But i want to ask you about what happened in kansas. Even though this wasnt a vote last night, but the results finally became clear last night. Kris kobach, who is a trump supporter, of course, was the lead investigator into trumps look into election fraud, which never really revealed anything. But the president came and endorsed kobach at the 11th hour. And now he defeats the incumbent governor there. Does this show us as well as anything that the president remains, continues to have a stranglehold, at least with Republican Voters in republican primaries . Yeah, absolutely. I dont know that id call it a stranglehold. He is the leader of the party, and he commands attention in the party. Look at what happened in minnesotapawlenty, who had been a trump critic, was unable to kind of you know, even though he had better name recognition, unable to get the primary to try and reclaim his old job. Its clear that trump commands such respect among Republican Voters, or has such sway among Republican Voters that, you know, he is setting the pace, for sure, in those primaries. Can i ask you about these ndas . To go back to this idea that there are these agreements between people who work in the white house or worked on the campaign, actually, and the white house. How common is that really . I mean, is washington, every administration steeped in ndas . You know, its kind of a new thing that were learning about. I dont know that, you know, theres no reporting that members of congress are asking their staffers to sign these ndas. This is something trump has really brought to town. And i think theres a real open question about how enforceable they are. Clearly, omarosa, you know, is talking. So, this is going to be an open question and well have to see what happens with this arbitration suit theyve brought against her. Sure. But you know, this is a new thing. Omarosa, stormy daniels, there are many people that have signed these ndas that are still talking. By bringing suit and arbitration, they keep the story alive. Thats the only thing. Nice to see you, zach. 38 minutes past the hour. In pennsylvania, a grand jury report reveals just a Staggering Amount of child sex abuse by priests. It says there are credible allegations against more than 300 priests suspected of abusing more than 1,000 children dating back to the 1940s, and as recently as just a few years ago.

Reporter thats right, ryan, and were seeing more equipment being brought in to help piece apart all this concrete that fell down from that bridge. Im going to step aside so you can see what im talking about here. Back there, that is where the bridge collapsed. This is about a half a mile bridge. And the section that fell is about 400 yards. So, you can imagine, thats about four football fields of steel and concrete falling down on the ground below. At least 35 cars, were told, were on the bridge at the time, and theyre picking through that concrete right now looking for any survivors. They havent found any since yesterday, but the chief of Fire Services is still optimistic that they could probably still find someone, although theyve also pulled out three bodies. 36 people have been killed in this tragedy. That number could still rise, as they say theres still a number of people believed to be trapped under that rubble. This is a bridge that has had a long history of problems, structural problems, and the people in this community have complained about it, but they have a bit of a Silver Lining to this, it could have been a lot worse. Today is a national holiday. This road would have been packed with cars. It could have made this tragedy a lot worse. Also, yesterday, when it happened, was the day before a lot of people were taking that day off, and that is important to note because underneath this bridge is a Big Industrial park. No one was injured in that park. No one was there when it collapsed. So you know, still a tragedy with 36 people killed, but this could have been a lot worse, ryan. Okay.
