New video shows the athletes, allegedly drunk, vandalizing a gas station and then in a confrontation with Security Guards. And race for the white house, questions about policing and Race Relations front and center. Donald trump is in North Carolina where he is expected to portray himself as the law and order candidate. This is his first appearance since a Major Campaign staff shake up. Earlier, trump met with police, picked up an endorsement from a state Law Enforcement organization. Hillary clinton also focusing on policing. She met in new york with top Law Enforcement officials from across the u. S. The Campaign Says it was planned weeks ago. But it comes saids after trump sa says clinton is against police. Lets begin with the breaking news. Brazilian police this afternoon saying the claim by four u. S. Olympic swimmers that they were robbed at gunpoint is not true. Cnn Senior International correspondent Nick Peyton Walsh is at the gas station where the incident took place, what else are police saying, nick . Well, it is extraordinary, isnt it, rihanhode islandit, b what happened on sunday morning. You might not recognize is here, but let me walk you through where the scene of the alleged noncrime, according to brazilian testimony, because there was no robbery they say, occurred. Here is the alley way, you see them going in and out, and down here, forgive the darkness, this is where it is alleged there was a poster on the wall which was torn down and here, according to the owner, may be where some of the vandalization and urinating occurred because the toilet is just a few meters down that way. You can see the other media here as well. An idea of the circus this has become, trying to work out what happened in that time. Do you remember we have not heard a updated version from mr. Lock tee or the other three swimmers responding to these allegations, they have put forward cc tv that shows the men, after talking to an increasing number here, coming out. They seem to get the wrong taxi. This is early sunday morning, celebratory time they certainly had, and they decide this is our taxi. Theyre right, they get in, and the driver is spoken to by a man who leans down, dressed in black, could be a Security Guard. This may be where, a police chief, a firearm was drawn. The police chief saying well, they felt threatened. They had four angry and intoxicated americans here and that is where the confusion over whether Armed Robbery took Police Station or not. Things calmed down fast, money exchanged hands, we understand, and the Police Arrived they didnt see much of a situation to respond to. But still, it is staggering, isnt it, that we have had days of debate about the Armed Robbery. And high pro file crime against high pro file victims here. And now, we seem to be talking, after this international incident, people dragged off planes, people who cant leave here, are now talking about what may or may not have happened in ten or 15 minutes at this gas station just ten minutes live away from the olympic venue behind me. It is staggering, what is the reason they were at the gas station in the first place . If you look at the beginning of the video, you might think it is because they needed a toilet. If they were in a taxi coming from somewhere else, that may explain why they were here in the first place. 6 00 a. M. If you listen to the account of the police chief, they say they left the club about 5 45. The judge who issued the warrant says it may have been slightly earlier, it could well fit a pattern here, they leave the club, need to go to the toilet, and then move on and the altercation is resolved peacefully. We know mr. Feigen is still in brazil. It was a discrepancy between their accounts, and now they have been talking to police. We understand the Police Station in the higher part of town we dont know what came of that discussion, but we know that the police chief is saying these men are high profile and they should apologize for what has happened. At the same time, an olympic official, slightly more light hearted in how theyre handling this, but this is not really an enormous crime. It did at the start, but if what the brazilian authorities are saying is what really happened, it is just the men out having a good time, great athletes, did well, maybe we should just move on. So many people have been focused on this now for days. We know how it is playing out in the u. S. I wonder there in rio, nick, how is it being received. Are people talking a lot about this . Yeah, the fist story of this Armed Robbery did leave a lot of brazilians confused. Cell phones are often the main target, and petty crime, they work so hard to keep it away from olympic venuevenues, and t judges themselves saw the men returning to the village, and she thought they looked unshaken. That also aroused her suspicions for the warrant. I think brazil is slightly stirred. The original story that mr. Lochte came up with, which he still stands by was, that was he was held at gunpoint as men disguised as police. That is troubling for anyone. Brazilian officials want to tackle that very quickly indeed, and there is that issue as well of how did they manage to get out of an Armed Robbery. Thank you, nick walsh, at the gas station where the incident with american swimmers took place. Well have more on this story as it unfolds. Lets turn now to charlotte, North Carolina where donald trump will soon be holding his first major rally since that staff shake up. Jason carroll is there for us, and you had, jason, donald trump meeting today with police and he is expected to talk about this law and order again tonight. Right, and not just that he is the law and order candidate, but to drive home the point that the Law Enforcement community is behind him. Expect him to repeat what we heard him say so many times in the past, that he is the pro cop candidate, and Hillary Clinton is the anticop candidate. Donald trump visiting a shooting range and getting an endorsement from a North Carolina police union in this critical state. So it looks like it is going very well. I guess they just got good numbers announced in North Carolina. North carolina will be very important. A new National Poll today shows that the glow for Hillary Clinton may be dimming a little bit. Kell Kellyanne Conway says trailing is not necessarily a bad thing. It helps us by being behind a little. It lights a fire under us. A course correction from yesterday when they tried to deny his candidate was trailing at all. You say it is not a shake up, but you guys are down, and it makes sense that says who . Says who . Polls, most of them all of them . Which polls . All of them. The campaigns new leadership seeking to project confidence, that the republican candidate will sharpen his message and still let trump be himself. Voters know when youre comfortable in his own skin. He wants to deliver a speech, if he wants to go to a rally, connect with a crowd, that is wonderful. That is how he got here. Tonight the first big rally since the major staff changes. Trump will focus on the campaign themes, terrorism and law and order. Tomorrow the first tv ad set to air in five battleground states. As for the tv spots, one of the places they will be airing is right here in the state of North Carolina. Some of the other states include virginia, florida, ohio, and pennsylvania. One recent poll shows that clinton is leading trump here by as many asinine points, the trump camp points out it is still early and once again, those attack ads have not started airing, not yet here in the state of North Carolina. Jason carol in charlotte, thank you. Lets bring in our guest. He is supporting donald trump. I have questions about donald trump, but first i want to ask you about ryan lochte. There is of a connection to your district. A graduate of the university of florida there in your district, and he was actually arrested once as it turns out and issued three different citations during his time in college. One was for public urination in 2005. I guess as someone that has a local connection there to where youre from, do you think this latest. Behavior is something in a you want to see from someone who is representing the United States on an International Stage like this. If you say is it something i want to see . No, nobody wants to see that but it is what it is. It goes back to what did you say, 2001 . Things happen, people do crazy things and they move on. Its what theyre doing today that i think is what matters and what counts. Thats what we should focus on. What about all of the other athletes who are having their efforts, really their lifes work, being overshadowed by the kind of ridiculousness. I agree. Youll see a lot of that i think you should focus on what they have accomplished. The university of florida is in the top ten universities in the nation. And these Young Athletes give everything they have to competing. And i think that is what we should look at. 9 thrill of victory. Focus on those things. And lets forgive. For peoples bad decisions that they made at an early age. And we have you here to talk about donald trump, that is what i want to talk about, i wanted to get in a in there because of the local connection. So as a i guess, here is my question. It is about steve bannon, the new campaign ceo. What were hearing is he wants trump to unleash on the clintons. When trump really had an opportunity to do that in a fox news town hall, he kind of punted. He said they should be given the benefit of the doubt on receiving donations to the Clinton Foundation from saudi arabia. Do you want to see him be more aggressive in the vein of what maybe steve bannon wants him to be . I think youll see that. I think do i want to see him be more aggressive . Along as it is factual and not negative. If you bring out the facts, the American People are smart enough they will figure out these things on their own. I think if mr. Trump does that, that is how we ran our campaign. We never went negative, just factual. I think mr. Trump and steve bannon, if they go out and give out the facts and let the people out there in the news media, in the news media do your research, report on the facts, the American People will make that decision. And i think at the end they will see donald trump as best qualified for this. An Important Development because theyre putting out ads. Were going to see two new ads come out tomorrow. The first general election ads that we have seen from trump. What do you want to hear from these ads . I think number one im glad he is coming out with these. I think it speaks highly of donald trump, himself, and his vision. An atypical campaign. He did it through the whole process, the primary process, and i think what i would like to see on these ads, and i think what you will see, is clear, concise goals and visions for our country whether it is National Security, tax reform, we we welfare reform. I think you will see very concise, and we saw a good indication of that the other day. The best funded and well equipped terrorist organization in the world. And i think he did a good job of illustrating that. And now the second part of that is how are we going to get that under control. And then he pointed out that he will partner up with anyone that will fight radical jiha dists. I want to talk to you about the changes in the Trump Campaign and fact that he is prumping for debates and what could be a big moment for him in the general election, if you could, congressman, stick around, well get into break and be right back. You can fly across welcome town in minutes16, or across the globe in under an hour. Whole communities are living on mars and solar satellites provide earth with unlimited clean power. In less than a century, boeing took the world from seaplanes to space planes, across the universe and beyond. And if you thought that was amazing, you just wait. Z. Back now with donald trump supporter and senator. First, breaking news, new details about the 400 million. President obama insisted that the payment was not ransom. Cnn White House Correspondent Michelle Kaczynski is traveling with the president in Marthas Vineyard for us. What have you learned about the timing here, snishl. Basically more and more details have come out. Now we know that money was paid just before the american prisoners were released. The question that remains here was this a ran payment from a deal from a decade ago. But you know, our question is did it essentially function as a ransom payment . Why did the timing have to be that very day. Now we know that the money was, indeed, paid just before the prisoners were released. Now were hearing from the state department. Theyre calling this leverage. Listen to this spokesperson today. Youre saying you would not give them the 400 million in cash until the prisoners were released, correct . Yes, it was their 400 million, that was awarded to them. Make that clear. And because we had concerned about the end game, in terms of getting our people out, we didnt want to take any chances. So we believed that as much levage as could be had, we wanted to have. We wanted to keep as much leverage as possible. We believed that holding up that delivery was prudent. And the white house is saying basically the same thing tonight. They were concerned that iran would reneg on the deal. If they didnt get the money coming to them at the time. Was this then essentially a ransom payment as many are calling it . Republicans have been calling it this. They have been hammering the white house on the language here. And with the white house it goes back to look, this among was going to be coming to iran. They wanted all of the things they were working on at the same time as the Iran Nuclear Deal to work out, so they paid the money to make sure that iran was going to release those prisoners. Okay, Michelle Kaczynski for us, thank you for that report. Im going to bring back now congressman yoho of the white house degree. The white house is saying that is not a ransom, but there are still a lot of outstanding questions here about the timing. What is your reaction to this . The timing is terrible. And i had a professor in vet school that said if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, it is probably a duck. But they gave it out at the same tie that iran was demanding the payment. The administration can say they would not give the money until the hostages got released, but then the iranians went around and said it was a ransom payment. I think most of the world believes it is a ransom payment, and the Obama Administration, they lost credibility. They drew a red line and said they didnt. It is recorded. Cnn has tapes of it as every Major Network does, or a regime change, the assad presidency had a go. President obama said that himself along with john kerry and they retracted that and said we never said that. The credit ability has been lost. That is important when you get to a situation like this. If they had the credibility, the American People i think would stand on the president s side. But it looks fishy, like a duck, to me. You are a donald trump supporter. Were covering a lot of news today. Part of this shake up in the campaign is Kellyanne Conway being promoted, does this mean the Trump Campaign will be not just taking polls seriously, but really delving into the details ant different demographic groups and where donald trump needs to improve his standing . Absolutely. I think with any campaign as they mature, youre going to see the fine intraicacientricacies. Sometimes they change daily. And i think, im very pleased that mr. Trump is getting his campaign more organized and doing some of the more traditional things and i agree that he should stay who he is. The American People have put him in this position. Because of his willingness to do things outside of the establishment. And we, as a country, are not used to seeing this. And i think that lead to a lot of the success you see. And i think when it comes down to it, when you have a choice between donald trump and Hillary Clinton, who is best fitted to serve this nation. If you look at the 7 1 2 years previously under the Obama Administration with Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, youre going to get an extension of where we are. When you have 74 of the American People saying our country is going in the wrong direction, our National Security is like our policies are like a broken compass. When i have foreign dignitaries coming into our office, it is a scary point in time in our history. And with Hillary Clinton, you will have an extension of that and there will be more uncertainty in the world and more confusion. I think the world and the American People are ready for somebody that is very decisive and clear in their actions. I think they they will see that in this campaign.

We have our cnn reporters, and also the politics executive editor mark preston. Mark, how about you start with this. This is a big day and it is surprising to so many people that donald trump is finally coming out with ads, television ads. It will happen tomorrow. Your first two ads, what are you expecting to see . It is significant because the fact of the matter is even though he is down in the polls, he has done well without running any paid advertising. So we will expect to see two ads running over the weekend. I would gather theyre going to be directed at Hillary Clinton. Thats the indication we have gott gotten. 30 second ads, in battleground states, directed at Hillary Clinton. Obviously he will try to tear her down. What is it going to be . Honest and trustworthy . I bet it is honest and truthworthy. The corrupt Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation stuff. Emails he seems to like that. He talks in his speeches about the state department, Hillary Clinton running it as her own slush fund and there has been stories about that recently. You wonder if that is part of some of the ads. And probably calling for change. One thing that republicans have been clambering for. Hammer her as a washington insider. That is a message he strayed away from. So a lot of republicans feel like why is he not saying this, right . Not sticking to that, the Hillary Clinton alternative is the thing, right, that will convince some people. And he is advertising in states where republicans have done traditionally pretty well. It is hurting the republican incumbent because of how bad trump is doing. Did you see this brexit tweet he did. He put it out this morning they will soon be calling me mr. Brexit. To which i and others are wondering what does he mean by that. Donald trump is really skillful at putting out a statement and letting it lie, letting people interpret what it is. A lot of the things have been very controversial. He says if it is not the way he likes wait it is going, he will say i didnt mean to do that. What i think that mean Social Security a lot of people didnt think that brexit was going to happen, and it did, donald trump was one of the people who said he hopes it happens and it did happen. He is saying im going to win in november. Brexit is the e giquivalent of t will happen here. And part of the brexit thing was the isolation. I think it is both, he wrapped himself in the decision even though leading up to it he was not quite sure but the idea of them breaking free from the e. U. , having britain i think was partly that as well. Thats right, and it also goes to the message that he has been pushing in a lot of these battleground, rust belt states, hitting on the issues of trade as they would say isolationism, it hits on his Main Campaign themes for sure. That same feeling that maybe people in britain had, right . To what benefit for me . Im helping other people and it is hurting me, right . That is exactly right. Sort of antiimmigration strain, too. And he will give more policy speeches on immigration. That is one of the things that kellyann conway has signals. Thank you so much. Thank you to all of you. Coming up, hick also met with Police Chiefs and top Law Enforcement officials today, but her message is much different from the one that donald trump is sending.

While donald trump was meeting with Police Officers and at a shooting range, Hillary Clinton was sitting down with Police Chiefs and other Law Enforcement officers from across the nation bringing a very different message. What is she saying . She is giving legitimacy to the concerns, experiences, and complaints coming from the Africanamerican Community about the abuse at the hands of Police Officers. She acknowledges that exists. She is also recognizing that Police Officers need help and support to do their jobs. We have a lot of work to do together, and we dont have a minute to lose. Recent events from dallas and baaton rouge, milwaukee, and across the country under score how difficult and important the work is ahead of us to repair the bonds of trust and respect between our Police Officers and our communities. The meeting aimed at striking a careful balance between supporting the police while still addressing the concerns from communities of color who experienced abuse. We have to be clear eyed about the challenges we face. A photo opt, a who is who of those in blue including Police Chiefs from new york, los angeles, philadelphia, and dallas. And the outgoing new york city political commissioner bill braton. Aides say it the scheduled weeks ago, but it comes just days after donald trump made this claim she is against the police, believe me. Clinton is trying to counter that from the very beginning, giving her First Campaign speech on racial profiling and policing last april. We have to come to terms with hard truths about race and justice in america. A recent poll shows clinton benefits from over 90 voter support from africanamericans, but turnout remains the key. Yes, they do, and im going to talk a lot about them. She and her husband have faced criticism for a bill that disproportionately put blacks and latinos behind bars. Trump, desperate for support from minorities. Clinton backed policies are responsible for the problems in the inner cities today, and a vote for her is a vote for another generation of poverty, high kriep, and lost opportunities. Today the Clinton Campaign launch add new tv ad hitting trump on his lack of transparency for his lack of tax returns. And an activist called donald ducks showed up at trump tower to emphasize. So the duck and his handler promised brianna they would be out there shadowing donald trump everywhere he goes. Clinton aides are also telling me too on a serious note that she will continue to prove that she, too, is a law and order candidate, but at the same time recognizing the pain of Police Misconduct and abuse. That is the Democratic National committee behind that duck. When Hillary Clinton was on her book tour, the republicans sent a squirrel talking about how it was nuts. It is bizarre. Well have to see how mascots we have. Coming up, more on the breaking news, a startling announcement by Brazilian Police denying the claim by four u. S. Swimmers that they were robbed at gunpoint. Instead police saying the swimmers were acting like vandals. Get between you and lifes dobeautiful moments.

Now only are they saying four u. S. Olympic swimmers were not robbed, police say the swimmers vandalized a gas station. One of those swimmers, six time gold medalist, ryan lochte already facing backlash in brazil and back at home as well. A short time ago this went up. The New York Post releasing its picture of tomorrows front page. It says the ugly american and liar, liar, speedo on fire. With me here many the situation room is cnn legal analyst, laura coats. I want to bring back our Senior International correspondent, Nick Payton Walsh. Hes at the gas station where this incident with the american swimmers happened. Laura, the issue here isnt so much the ripping a poster off, its the fact they appeared to be dishonest. If it was only this vandalism, it probably wouldnt be that big of a problem. Its kind of like perjury in the United States. You have this backlash about how rio is upset about the reputation of being upset. Now you have this visible person saying thats a true scenario when in fact, its not, perhaps. Its not a big crime in brazil but its a very big diplomacy nightmare. The big concern was security. There were the issues about the water. The issue of the zika. I think rio was trying to go out of their way and they feel a disservice has been done. You have the impersonation of an officer. They have a gun. Thats scary indictment of Brazilian Security measures. You have a whole host of things. Theyre getti intin inting a lo back then they have just slander an entire nation. Nick, you are there where this has been developing. A lot of media descending on this gas station. Whats the latest that youve been hearing . Reporter we have just spoken to sources close to both ryan lochte and the three other swimmers. Their take is the Security Camera video krcorroborates mr. Lochtes story. They were the victim of an Armed Robbery by people they thought were police. If you look at the time code at the top of that video, its a gap of about three minutes. The sources say that during that period of time the man who you see leaning into the car, the swimmers saw was carrying a badge, they felt he was policeman. He used a weapon to get them to get out and then said by doing this symbol, they should hand over their money. Essentially, theyre saying the police story has many holes, particularly the hole until the cctv footage which is moment when the robbery occurred. Theyre not clear if it was the Security Guard behind the Armed Robbery or another man or when the military police were involved too. Thats unclear. They are saying these four men who had been drinking felt they were being robbed by people who were armed Police Officers. Thats their story. The alleyway behind me, which is media is crawling over, they accept the four men came here go to the toilet and they did pee behind that building. They may have also damaged that poster. Thats unclear. At the end of the day they are saying put aside the fact that maybe people werent behaving perfectly, they are still talking about Armed Robbery and saying the Brazilian Police have not been honest and have left things out of their account. Thats a problem if theres a missing section of this closed circuit television. Its not just the u. S. That has a problem with cameras failing when it comes to police activity. This wasnt be such a hard issue for people to accept or believe, but the fact there are some holes in the police story but theres inconsistencies with the swimmers. First he said it was pointed at his forehead. Thats a dramatic, scary thing. He said he was pulled over by a cop. That didnt happen either. Then it was we were at a gas station. They rushed us there. That didnt happen either. It was the series of inc inconsistencies that hurt them. Thank you so much. This breaking news continue next as new details emerge from rio about this olympic scandal.

Tell us about that round table conversation and how it went. It was actually very important meeting. You had attorney general there. You had Andy Mccarthy who prosecuted the first world trade center. You had, obviously Rudy Giuliani. You had really leaders from the defense and the intelligence and the security fields. Again, donald trump wants to zero in on fighting islamic terrorism both overseas and here at home. He wants to put aside political correctness. Some like myself stress the importance of getting good intelligence and having surveillance in muslim communities. Once they arrive out of sight, no matter how good the police are, its going to be difficult to stop them. Thats why its important to have the intelligence to stop the operation before it can start and as far as overseas to identify the enemy and to put aside political correctness. Also, as far as here at home, to stand with the police against those who cause riots and disruption. Let me ask you about that because you said you talked about surveillance. This was something you sort of initiated in a conversation. Did you talk about mosques surveillance. Youre talk about surveillance of muslim communities. Did you talk about mosque surveillance . Both Rudy Giuliani and i said the importance of surveillance in the community and also within mosques. Im catholic. If police want to have a Police Officer in the church to hear whats being said, its fine with me. If you have nothing to hide, maybe you can make some converts. You had a number of plots originate in mosques. I know that Rudy Giuliani had Police Officers in mosques. It continued after that. You go where the plots will be formed. Obviously, you use discretion but they should not have probable cause. As long as theres some suspicious, yes, absolutely. Were talking about life and death. You said it was continued after Rudy Giuliani but its also something, i dont believe its in effect now. In fact, you have some Law Enforcement officials in new york saying it wasnt a good idea. It also alienates the Muslim Community when you need to reach out to them and help end the scorge of radicalization. What do you say to that . I discard that. People in that community may be 1 or 2 , but thats where the threat was coming from. When it was the Italian Community and the fbi was going after the mafia, they didnt worry about hurt feelings. When they were going after the westies in new york, every irish bar and irish neighborhoods, there were undercovers everywhere. Thats how its done. Its legal. Its constitutional. Whether its the New York Times or people who say we have to reach out a hand to friendship, all american vs to stand together to fight terrorism. I wonder if you think under that judgment och political corre correctness run amuck, donald trump said he will fight to ensure that every american is treated equally and reject bigotry and hatred. How does that hue with mosque surveillance . Youre treating equally any community where theres a threat coming from will be treated equally. If theres a threat coming from the Irish Community or the Jewish Community then you have surveillance there. If youre looking for the ku klux klan, you dont go to harlem. To be putting police and fbi and synagogues and churches. Whenlooking for criminals, you go where they are. Part of it agree it. What high pressuappened with ce command was very wrong. Theres very good people in the cia and fbi. I wouldnt say across the board. I would not agree that across the board that this problem with intelligence. I think we have seen instances, very serious instances where is the intelligence on the middle east especially involving isis was being tailored and doctored. That is pretty clear. As far as, its policy differences that might be going on in the cia, as far as being honest, i think the analysts are being honest. Did you get a sense of what he wants to do. He does not like the way the Intelligence Community is operating. He seems to doubt that hes even now or will get good information from them. Did you get the sense he wants an overhaul . We didnt go into great discussion on the Intelligence Community itself. I think he wouldnt change it. I think it would change the tone. Im saying as far as the honesty. Obviously some people in various intelligence agencies but the fact is overall they try to do their best. I think if you had different direction from the top, maybe looking differently but the honesty or integrity, i partially agree with donald trump and i partially disagree. Stay with me.

Were back now with peter king. Were getting some breaking news in the president ial race because the Clinton Foundation has Just Announced it will not accept foreign or Corporation Donations if Hillary Clinton is elected president. This amid growing questions about potential conflicts of interest. Also, congressman, king, you had the boston globes Editorial Board. Thats not a conservative board, thats a liberal Editorial Board. They said to Hillary Clinton, that really she needed to think about really shelving the foundation if shes to be president. I wonder what you think about it. Is this change enough to put these concerns to rest . I think its the right thing going toward the future but it raises questions about why it was allowed to go on during the time she was secretary of state. Im a little different from other republicans. I have a good personal relationship with president clinton and secretary clinton. I think they were wrong on the foundation. She should have known as secretary of state the conflicts or appearance of conflicts being raised by accepting all this money from foreign donors, people had involvement with overseas interest and really sort of raises questions about her judgment. It is the right thing to do going forward. Well have to see the fine print but to the extent they will be stopping money coming from overseas if she is the president is the right thing. Again, why did she allow it to go on during the time she was secretary of state. Donald trump is someone, obviously, who could have a similar issue because he has very various businesses. What would he do as president to ensure a separation between himself and his business interests . Yeah, first of all, as far as the past, it was no conflict. Donald trump had no obligation to curtail any foreign involvement before. If hes in the white house, hell have to make it clear theres an absolute wall between him and anything overseas. There cant be anything that gives even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Its not just enough to comply with the law when talking about dealing overseas. Its going to be a infine line. You have to make sure theres a separation. Youre saying that what he has done in the past should not be scrutinized because he was a public citizen. Why does that erase concerns about what his ties to foreign entities would be . Im saying as far as any conflict of interest. I want to ask you about something trump said in a town hall. He said he could give clinton the benefit of the doubt about accepting donations to their foundation for saudi arabia. I suspect you do not agree with him. Maybe youre surprised as i am that he would have said that. Maybe theres a kinder and gentler donald trump. I dont think well see too much of that between now and election. All kidding aside, its very important to raise issues and even if they seem like theyre being personal. As long as they are based on fact and have relations to the government, then i think these type of analysis and criticism is very valid. Debate prep coming up. This is really important because donald trump is going to begin this. This is such a key moment for him and with his new hire of his campaign ceo, do you think he will unleash himself on the clintons . Is that what we will see him prepping for . I read about steve. I dont know him well. I think kelly will do an outstanding job. Maybe these allegations. Theres such a large number, more than 60 of the American People have real serious questions about Hillary Clintons trustworthiness, her integrity. I think its important if he focuses on those issues, he has to make sure its factual and on target and doesnt leave himself open to a counter attack. Theres enough legitimate questions to be raised. I think he has to fine tune those arguments. I think its important that he do it but make sure he does it in factual way, which i think he will. Thank you for being with us. Thank you. Just ahead, more on the breaking news on the Clinton Foundations donations and the democrats new way of slamming donald trump for duck his release of tax returns. Were also live to rio on breaking news of u. S. Swimmers accused by police of being vandals, not robbery victims. Were also following wildfires burning in california. These are live pictures. Y. Im a fine arts major. Being able to pull up different articles to different parts of the screen is so convenient. I draw my notes in class. The pen makes it so much easier. I used to be a mac user. But this is way better. The first paint that kills bacteria. Sherwinwilliams paint shield continuously kills 99. 9 of bacteria. Totally breakthrough. Surprisingly the same. And its only avaiblble at sherwinwilliams. Were back with breaking news of u. S. Swimmers accused of lying when they said they were robbed. The Surveillance Video of the swimmers, at the gas station. This is where police say they committed acts of vandalism. I want to go live to rio. Were hearing from sources close to the four swimmers who say they believe that cctv video corroborates the original story that he was a victim of Armed Robbery. They say its a threeminute hole in the time code in which the man leaning into the car used a firearm to make them get out and give them all their money. They say thats Armed Robbery, pure and simple and the police are nitpicking facts and lying. Police still examining the cctv to see if theres a real threeminute hole but we had a remarkable series of shifting stories here. There was no robbery as the way it was reported claimed by the athletes. These guys game out with badge. They pulled us over. They pulled out their guns. They told the other swimmers to get down on the ground. Authorities say thats not true. In a press conference today, the civil police chief say the americans were probably drunk and vandalized mirrors and signs on the property. The gas station owner claims the athletes urinated. You can see one person in the alley way bending over appearing to pull his pants up. The swimmers attempt to run to their taxi but approach the wrung o wrong one. They exit, some with their hands up. Police saying the guards were likely armed. There is the use of a weapon to control probably one of them. Reporter later the group is seen from another angle sitting on a curb together. Thats when police say the olympians came to an agreement to pay for the damages. Would like to pay for the damage that they cause and leave the place before the police could arrive. Reporter lochtes mother said the swimmers were robbed at gun point in a taxi. Olympic authorities denied any robbery took place. Lochte himself raised a stakes with a chilling account when the sea of men with guns and badges posing as Police Officers. He pulled out his gun. Reporter last night Brazilian Police pulled them off the u. S. Bound flight and seized their passports. They are barred from leaving the country until they give a statement to officials. An attorney for the two swimmers said his clients were frightened and confuse and did not understand why they were being preventing. Lochte flew back tuesday joking around in this video just as the story was unfolding today. The fourth athlete remains in brazil and is said to be cooperating with police. That was Nick Payton Walsh reporting from rio. Were trying to reestablish his connection. Hes at the gas station where this incident involving these american swimmers took place. Well get more on that for you when we can. Now back to the president ial race. We have some breaking news there. The Clinton Foundation announced it will not accept foreign or corporate donations if Hillary Clinton is elected president. Lets go to our senior washington correspondent. This is quite the capitulation, joe. It seems that way. Bill clinton telling the staff of the foundation about this today, on a acknowledge that if Hillary Clinton wins, the foundation will have to be retooled and refocused announce that the foundation will not accept donations from corporate or foreign interests if Hillary Clinton is elected in november. The move comes as questions have started piling up over potential conflicts of interest between donors and the state department during and after Hillary Clintons time as secretary of state. Today, mrs. Clinton was working on bolstering her credentials on law and order. Reporter Hillary Clinton firing back at Donald Trumps claim that she is weak on law n enforcement. We have to be clear eyed about the challenges we face. We need to Work Together to bridge our divides, not stoke even more divisiveness. Reporter clinton meeting with Law Enforcement leaders from around the country billing herself as the propolice candidate. I want to support them, our Police Officers with the resources they need to do their jobs. To do them effectively and apply those lessons across our nation. Reporter clintons photo op earlier this week. She is against the police, believe me. You know it and i know it and guess what, she knows it. Reporter trump even blaming clinton for the violent protests sparked after an officer involved killing in milwaukee. Those peddling the narrative of cops as a racist force in our society, a narrative supported with a nod by my opponent shared directly in the responsibility for the unrest in milwaukee and many other places within our country. Reporter the Clinton Campaign today flipping the script on one of trumps favorite attack lines. If i decide to run for office, ill produce my tax returns. Reporter releasing a new ad zeroing in on his refusal to release tax returns. Clinton trying to reverse the nagtive about trustworthiness and transparency aiming to point trump as the one who has something to hide. Under his plans, he would pay a lower tax rate than middle class families. We have no idea what tax rate he pays because unlike everybody else who has run for president in the last four or five decade, he refuses to release his tax returns, so the American People cant really judge. Trump can expect to see a new face around the campaign trail. The Democratic National committee introducing himself calling himself donald trump. He said he will show up until he releases his tax returns. What is he trying to duck . Is he ducking because hes not as rich as he says he is . Is he ducking because he doesnt donate to charities like he says he does . Reporter Hillary Clintons meeting with law enforce lt officials today has been in the works for weeks and made public on the schedule last week. It did give an opportunity to push back on the latest attacks from donald trump. Thank you so much. When you think things couldnt get more stranger, now we have mascots. Lets bring in our political reporter for the daily beast. That kind of seems like it could be common sense and yet im surprised this development has happened. I think it was rosy at buzz feed who said this is something she should have done before becoming secretary of state. It just looks bad she hasnt already done this while running for president of the United States. Just from an optics perspective, it doesnt look great for for her. I think its the right thing to do. I think she should have done it before started running for president. If she gets elected, its something she needs to do. You cant have questions raised. Why do you think she did this today . As we were talking earlier, shes backed into a corner, really pressured to do this. I think it raises more questions even if they say this is a good first baby step. What do they want . Do they want it all together like the boston globe said . Saying this Social Security only once shes elected. If you want to donate, donate now. You still can. An interesting point. Its a tacid acknowledge that she should have done something sooner. They have to get past this. They may have to whether the storm but they will be able to move on whether than letting the story fester. Did this have anything to do with the boston globe. Maybe its too soon to tell but the board, which is a liberal Editorial Board said you need to shut this thing down. Theres this terrible conflict of interest. This is the right thing to do. Focus like that can become a know ball and you have other people examining it and looking and not focusing on the wild thing drumpb might have said or the little shiny thing on the campaign trail. Every single donation, if she is president could be looked into and theres more stories and more stories. This is cutting it off as best as you can if its too late. I was thinking if they kept this going just a lot of House Oversight Committee Hearings into this. It would just be sort of e evicerated. It would just get piled on. I want to talk about what Hillary Clinton is doing today. Donald trump is saying youre the antilaw and order and youre not for police. Hillary clinton is trying to keep everyone happy. Trying to appeal to black lives matter, Community Activists trying to appeal as well to Law Enforcement. What is her its sort of a balancing act. She wants to be seen as an honest broker. Even though donald trump has an easy path to hammer by saying hes the law and order candidate, i think its actually a myth that Hillary Clinton has been anticop when she was a u. S. Senator, she had a Good Relationship with police. Shes met with police today. She met with black lives matter during the primaries. Republicans like to chime in on this idea that democrats are antipolice. If you look at president obama, especially in his second term, hes spoken over and over again in praise of police. 94 crime bill that she supported and the big thing she touted was getting more police out there on the street. I want to talk about this Trump Campaign reboot. Still an interesting topic as we get into his first public appearance after this happens. You have stewart stephens, the former strategist saying this on twitter. He said trump has entered hospice stage of campaign. Wants to be surrounded by those who love him. Good line. Is that the case that these are yes men who will create group thing who wont yield the best decisions . On the surface it looks that way. I think he made a few compromises. He could get through an entire day almost without saying something outrageous to offend a group of people. When that didnt result in his luck turning around and the polls going up, i think he just started to question the wisdom of people saying he should professionalize his operation. People like Paul Manafort who is retaining that title is starting to look to drumonald trump like doesnt know what hes talking about. They were asking him to play a role he couldnt play . Ive never seen anything less comfortable in candidate. Its not his natural space. It seems this new team will try to find a compromise where he is speak the way he likes to but focus on topics. Maybe they will say for this week but im going to believe it when i see it. Ive heard so much about the pivot or its happened for an hour and weve written and story and pivots over and well talk about it again next week. What do you think . I think chris is right. Its all in the control of donald trump. His Campaign Staff can nudge him. He can shake things up. They can change the structure. His kids have gotten involved but its ultimately up to trump. Staying on a message not just for day or week but for the next 80 days. Thank you so much for being on the panel. Just ahead, cnn gets an exclusive tour of the massive flooding disaster in louisiana.

Cnn international correspondent, Nick Payton Walsh is at the gas station where much of this unfolded. You have some new information. Share that with us. Reporter absolutely. We have two stories. Very different in their tone but they begin quite similarly. Both the Brazilian Police and sources close to all four swimmers. Let me talk you through the thing they agree on. You see the four swimmers heading down here. The sources admit the swimmers have come here to go to the toilet and they did urinate just there. Same sources say its possible they did, as alleged by the owner and police tear or be involved in this poster coming off the wall. Let me walk slowly with you out this way towards the court again its owl there where the stories begin to diverge again. The Brazilian Police say when they came out here they got the wrong taxi and went to a different taxi and got into that. A Security Guard is pictured lean sboog the car and then apparently police say the negotiation started and they arranged to give some money. Everyone calmed down because of damage done there. The police turned up it was all over. Sources close mr. Lochte and the other three say theres a different story. They claim that there is a threeminute hole in the cctv. Police will look at it. During the three minutes the man lean sboog the car used a firearm and in the minds of the swimmers presents himself as a Police Officer. Making them get out of car, walk slightly further away and then give them all their money using this gesture suggesting they need more money. They say the cctv confirms mr. Lochtes original account. Were trying to get to the bottom. Thank you so much. Tonight the red cross is calling the massive flooding in louisiana the worst disaster since super storm sandy four years ago. Cnn got exclusive access as the National Guard surveyed the disaster area. Tell us about what you saw. A heartbreaking scene as we were flying overhead in these Communities Southeast of baton rouge. We looked out the window, we could see what appeared to be small land fills popping up on peoples front lawns. This is really what it is peoples belongings. They are having to pull out what is now destroyed to try to get their lives back on track and rebuild. Reporter from the air the scale of devastation is overwhelming. C nr cnn spending the day with the National Guard to survey the damage. Tens of thousands have abandoned their homes and it looks like very little will be salvaged when the water finally subsides. Its what makes the guard different. Fight the wars is one thing and then youre helping the homeland. Thats something special. Reporter some of the National Guard members helping in the recovery are also flood victim themselves. 75 of the homes were destroyed and those were the homes of the men and women of National Guard of all the people doing the he response. Theyre affected by it but also have the burden of having to respond. Reporter touring an evacuate center, many flood victims are worried about how long it will take to recover. Is there something you need . You got medical, food, clothing. We do but were not turning anything around because we dont know how long its going to go on. Reporter at the same time theres growing criticism of president obama for vacationing in Marthas Vineyard as the people in louisiana deal with aftermath. The baton rouge editorial riting if the president can interrupt his vacation for a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton as he did on monday, then surely he can make time to show up for a catastrophe thats displaced thousands. The magnitude requires federal leadership and intervention. This is a poor state. A lot of people have lost everything they own. Were going to need help just as we did in katrina. Reporter fema director was on the ground. Today the Homeland Security. The federal government is here. We have been here. We will be here as long as it takes to help this community recover. Reporter back in the sky, whole communities remain submerged. He got the call from his wife and several daughter who is call this place home that they needed this officer jumped in a boat, was able to make his way here, rescue his family, rescue his pets and now that those waters are gone, brianna, the tough task of cleaning up and rebuilding is in. 86,500 people will be relying on the federal government for help and many did not have flood insurance. Very few of them did. Its a very good point that you made for us. Polo sandoval, thank you. Breaking news in southern california. A wildfire that is threatening thousands of homes 70 miles east of los angeles. More than 80,000 people have been warned to evacuate here. We have cnns Paul Vercammen live. We have been seeing these picture, paul, it is just burning out of control. Reporter as we speak and lets get right to it. If you look over my shoulder, brianna, you can see on this hillside, this is the most active flank of the blue cut fire that weve seen all day. Firefighters will try to make a stand right here. You can tell that some of that hillside is a purplish color. Thats because they have bombarded this hillside right here with a whole batch of airplane drops and retardant. As we look over other parts of the fire, this news just in, somebody trying to capitalize on someone ses misery. The San Bernardino county sheriffs reporting that three suspected looters or thiefs have been arrested by going into this fire zone and allegedly trying to or stealing property. Now back to this fire fight. You can tell, this is extremely rugged terrain, and its difficult to get the hand crews up there if not downright risky and lifethreatening. So theyre hitting it from the air. You can hear the whirl of the helicopters. Theyre now trying to drop water on this fire to get a better handle on it. As bad as this looks, brianna, they are starting to let some of those evacuees return home, but as we speak right now, this is where theres a pitched fire fight and this is the cajon pass where theyre had trouble with winds and fires before and its one of several fires burning in california. So they have to be careful that they dont take too many resources away from this fire and give it to others. Back to you, brianna. Paul vercammen for us. We know youll be following that.

Wrenching video are reminding the world of the brutality and bloodshed thats been going on in syria for years now. Lets get more from our pentagon correspondent barbara starr. This is just something that is so moving and so disturbing at the same time, barbara. Good evening, brianna. The images are very disturbing. One tiny face in the middle of a civil war. 5yearold Omran Daqneesh carried out of the rubble in aleppo, syria, sitting in shock, alone in the ambulance, no shoes, not even crying, wiping away the blood. The syrian activist who recorded the images says it took nearly an hour to pull him out. Translator omrans whole face was blood and his family was under the rubble and there was no one to help him, but the rescue workers. The image going viral capturing the horror of aleppo and the humanitarian disaster that is syria. Evoking another image, that of 2yearold drowned on a turkish beach. The impossible choice facing millions trapped in the middle of syria, stay and try to survive or escape. Either way, risking death. The u. N. Special envoy demanding russia and the u. S. Try to stop the carnage and get humanitarian aid into aleppo. I again, insist on behalf of the secretarygeneral of the u. N. And of all of the Syrian People to have a 48hour pause in aleppo. Reporter but safe passage for relief convoys is impossible as long as russian and syrian warplanes continue bombing. More than 4500 children have been killed in the aleppo area since the war began 5 years ago according to an observer group. The last u. S. Ambassador to syria says the u. S. Is failing. I think its important for syrians such as those doctors in aleppo to not be waiting for the Obama Administration to come to their rescue because frankly, i dont think its going to happen. Viral moments like omrans image may be fleeting, however. This time will the outrage last . For just a moment the heartbreak of Omran Daqneeshs 5yearold life was shown to the world. Five years of war and trying to survive. For every day hes been alive hes known nothing, but conflict and war. The latest reports from the region, brianna are that his immediate family members also did survive the attack. Brianna . Barbara starr at the pentagon, thank you so much. Im brianna keilar, thank you so much for watching. Erin burnett out front with kate bolduan starts now. Out front next, breaking news. The u. S. Confirming tonight that a plane filled with 400 million in cash was, quote, leverage to get american Prisoners Released . Was it rabnsom . Ill ask my guest john kirby. More breaking news, ryan lochte lied about being robbed at gun point, but tonight yet another side of the story. And donald trump is about to take the stage, his first major speech since his Campaign Shakeup. Well bring it to you live. Lets go out front. Good evening,
