Took since july to get the deal. It culminated with weekend wrangling before christmas to finalize the agreement. And then a last minute computer glitch. Lawmakers are heading home soon with Stocking Stuffers with americans way late by a striken economy. This is an emergency survival package. The American People have waited long enough. Negotiations on the fifth coronavirus package started, broke down and began again for months. Some americans thought lawmakers may leave them a lump of coal at the holidays. There was concern about congress not renewing expiring Unemployment Benefits just after christmas. Republicans directed their ire at House Speaker nancy pelosi. Very disappointing to me that nancy pelosi blocked this aid for struggling businesses and families for four months. Republicans believe she could have cut a deal months ago. She changed after president elect biden won. The democrats came around to our position where we should make a law where we agree and get help out the door. The Republican Leaders accusation that the blame for this bills delay lies totally on one side is ridiculous. Its alice in wonderland thinking. Some democrats and republicans pushed for 1,200 stimulus checks. The sides could agree to half that. The checks go out after christmas. Let me emphasize that people will see this money the beginning of next week. So its very fast. Those off the job score 300 a week for 2 1 2 months. Theres an infusion of 257 billion to the Paycheck Protection Program to keep businesses afloat. And theres money to distribute the vaccine. Who do you think gets these vaccines from a state . They go from a lap to your arm magically . No. Republicans crowed that they blocked liberal priorities as democrats push for a plan topping 2 trillion. Just smart targeted bipartisan policies. Democrats sold the compromise to their members that wanted more as the first bite at the apple. Everyone understands that its a first step. Democrats still demand hundreds of billions for state and local aid and republicans insist on a liability shield connected to the pandemic. Now, the house debates the bill tonight. Votes could come around 9 00 or 10 00 eastern time. And then its on to the United States senate. This bill funds the government. Its unclear in the senate can finish before the witching hour. It will be close. Theres another stop gap spending plan ready the avert a midnight shut down. Bret . Bret so they will get it done eventually. Stocks mix today. The dow gained 37. Made a huge bounce back after opening lower on coronavirus fears overseas. The s p 500 lost 14. The nasdaq dropped 13. A significant difference of opinion tonight between President Trump and his outgoing attorney general. Over the weekend, the president insisted china may be behind that massive hack against American GovernmentComputer Systems and not russia. Late this morning, bill barr disagreed. That wasnt all he disagreed about. Mark meredith is at the white house with more. Good evening, mark. Good evening. President trump surprised many people when he suggested that china, not russia, may be responsible for the massive cyber breach. Bill barr was asked about it and he made it clear he disagrees with the president on his response. It certainly appears to be the russians. I wont discuss it beyond that. Outgoing bill barr joined mike pompeo in blaming russia for the hack. Its the case that now we can say pretty clearly that it was the russians that engaged in this activity. Officials believe hackers gained access to multiple day that including departments of commerce around energy. The full impact is unclear. President trump says the hack is overtyped. Tweeting within hours, lawmakers pushed back on any assertion that president was not responsible. I was disappointed, but the president has a blind spot when it comes to russia. The president says he has spoken with incoming alabama senator Tommy Tubberville who recently hinted he may join the challenge. The president s campaign is hoping the Supreme Court will hear its petition and invalidate pennsylvanias electoral votes cast for joe biden. What happened in pennsylvania and as well a number of other states is that the state courts or the secretaries of state altered or suspended various provisions of state law. Senior republicans insist the election is over. The Electoral College has certified the election. We have the constitution and i accept the outcome of the election. Late today the president called in to the turning point summit in florida. He said that he feels like he won the election in a landslide, that he wants members of the party to step up. He said he felt will was no need to investigate voter fraud. Barr leaves the Justice Department wednesday. Bret thanks, mark. President elect joe biden has not announced who his attorney general nominee will be. He rolled up his sleeves and took the Coronavirus Vaccine shot. He figuratively rolled up his sleeves already pushing congress for more coronavirus aid. Rich edson reports from wilmington. The administration deserves credit getting this off the ground, operation warp speed. With a nod to scientists, the Trump Administration and clinicians, president elect joe biden is now among the thousands to receive Pfizers Covid vaccine. Its one thing to have the vaccine show up in a hospital. Its another thing to get the vaccine from that vile in to a needle. This is the first of two required shots. Biden wants congress to take another shot at an additional Coronavirus Relief package after congressional leaders agreed last night to a economic bill, biden wrote this action in the lame duck situation is just the beginning. Starting in the new year, congress will need to get to work on support for our covid19 plan for support to struggling families and investments in jobs and economic recovery. With a month to go before taking office, the Transition Team says biden is considering his options for attorney general, one that will likely lead the Justice Department with an Ongoing Investigation into hunter biden. President trump and republicans say they want an independent special counsel to carry an investigation into joe bidens presidency. The outgoing attorney general says theres no need to that. Theres an investigation and its being handled responsibly and professionally. I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and i have no plan to do so before i leave. The incoming press secretary says the on going investigation into hunter biden will play no role in the president elects attorney general decision. He will not be discussing an investigation with him. The transition personnel is planning on future office space. One reporter asking the Vice President elect whether reporters need to fumigate the white house since so many have tested positive for the coronavirus. We hope to have a smooth transition and that is something that were working on. The transition says president elect biden will speak to the press in wilmington and ahead of the holiday. Biden is urging americans to wear a mask and to avoid travel over christmas. Bret . Rich edson live. Thanks. Dr. Anthony fauci and health and Human Services secretary alex azar will be among the first to get the Moderna Vaccine tomorrow. The first shots of the second approved vaccine given out to healthcare workers today. There are new grim numbers tonight in the coronavirus pandemic. The u. S. Continuing to set records for infections, deaths and hospitalizations. In phoenix, arizona, insensitive care units are full and some hospitals are using refrigerated trucks as temporary morgues. Matt finn reports from phoenix. The u. S. Marked its deadliest week of the pandemic. More than 18,000 people died from covid19 last week. Friday saw a record 250,000 covid cases reported in a single day. Today the death of health and Human Services says two million additional Pfizer Vaccines will beshiped to states across the country. We believe the jurisdictions and the leaders in a place to talk about their need. California is at 0 icu capacity. In arizona, the states largest healthcare employee, banner health, is using these trucks to store bodies because the morgue is full. Banner says their covid hospitalizations jump 93 and 50 of the patients have coronavirus. Just think about that for a minute. Nearly half of the patients currently being cared for in our arizona hospitals are there because of a disease that was not here last year. And thanksgiving combined with christmas and new years could make it worse. Wear your mask and shrink your circle. We can look forward to a different Holiday Season in 2021. Outrage after a united flight from orlando to l. A. Made an Emergency Landing in new orleans. A man with apparent covid symptoms got on the died. One passenger said i knew the risk with performing cpr. I made the chose to do so anyways. I spent the remainder covereded in my own sweat and that mans urine. Im symptomatic and waiting the results of my second test. Dr. Deborah birx is under fire for apparently going against her own warning to americans not to travel with thanksgiving outside people their household. If your family traveled, you have to assume youre exposed. Birx traveled to a Vacation Home after thanksgiving with family from two households. Birx explains it was to winterize the home with people inside her bubble. Dr. Anthony fauci is urging americans not to travel to see family for christmas but the tsa is now reporting that for the First Time Since march, they have screened more than one Million People for three consecutive day theres past weekend, bret.

Oregon state police forcefully shoved people away from the state house today deploying blue smoke to disburse the group. Lawmakers are in the State Capitol for a special legislative session to vote on Coronavirus Relief provisions. Governor kate brown has extended oregons state of emergency expiration days from january 2 to march 3. There are growing fears tonight about a new strain of the coronavirus in the united kingdom. Those fears have led to several countries imposing travel restrictions on people from the u. K. Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent greg palkot has that story from london. Covid19 chaos in the u. K. Following the news, a new mutant strain of the coronavirus is in england. Its thought to be responsible for 60 of the cases this year and could be more contagious prompting a lock down in london and surroundings. Given the new evidence on the virus, the potential risk it poses, its with a very heavy heart that we cannot continue with christmas as planned. Included in the new moves a u. K. Ban on foreign travel. Over 40 countries have issued their own travel bans. Thousands rush to train stations and airports. Putting a strain on a lot of people. In u. K. , there were miles of backed up trucks. France banning transport from france to britain. I dont know what for they close the border. Its stupid. Amid new reports of mutant covid19 virus has been detected elsewhere in europe and could be present in the u. S. Resulting calls from bans on flights. I think the United States should do what other countries have done, which is halt the travel. In fact, the Trump Administration has restricted most british citizens travel to the u. S. Since earlier this year. Along with a halt to travel by chinese seen by some of the time as controversial. Scientists think the new virus mutant is not resistant to vaccines being rolled out and that its not more dangerous. But theyre testing further. The u. K. Now says it could take stricter measures to deal with a virus variant and they could be in place for months. As the world hopes it can be contained. Bret . Greg palkot in london. Thanks.

Bret the Justice Department has unsealed charges against a libyan bomb makener the 1988 explosion of pan am flight 103 over lockerbie, scottland. The attack killed 259 people in the air and 11 on the ground. A Family Member of one of the victims says its another small victory towards justice. It is the resilience of Family Members who have not let anyone forget our loved ones who were lost on that tragic night 32 years ago. We will continue to pursue justice for all who were responsible for this bombing. But today is a small victory in that conquest. Bret the accused bomb maker is not in u. S. Custody at this time. American Officials Say he admitted making the device to libyan interrogators several years ago. The one person convicted in the attack died in 2012 after being released from prison. For the first time in eight years, the u. S. Navys fifth fleet announced that they moved a guided missile submarine in the persian gulf. This comes a day after the American Embassy was attacked and said to have caused minor damage and one death. The u. S. S. Georgia armed with tomahawk cruise missiles has entered the persian gulf. Trey yingst reports tonight from the middle east newsroom. The u. S. Embassys air Defense System fires into the sky over baghdad. Eight rockets were aimed at the green zone in the iraqi capitol. One civilian was killed and minor damage was done to the embassy compound. The event drew condemnation and called it a terrorist attack. Mike pompeo blamed iran saying these violent and corrupt criminals must cease our destabilizing actions. The response from the Iraqi Foreign ministry. I want the United States regime not to seek starting fire and waging conflict. The American Embassy was the target of numerous rocket attacks over the past year conducted but i rainian shiia malitias. Sins fire comes two weeks before the one Year Anniversary of a strike that killed a top iranian general. This january the Trump Administration will reduce the number of u. S. Forces operating in the country from 3,000 to 2,500 soldiers. Calculations are going on for iran and their proxies. Theres hope that a Biden Administration could lift economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic while allowing them to continue a controlled nuclear program. Bret . Trey yingst, thank you. Up next, where the phrase bless your heart is not an expression of Southern Hospitality at the moment. Well take you to georgia. And pope francis gives out toughless for christians.

The winner will control the chamber. President trump will hold a rally for the republican incumbents the day before the election. Today one of his favorite surrogates was in the state with the incoming Vice President. Correspondent Jonathan Serrie shows us from atlanta. With your help, your voice around critically your vote, georgia will save america. Campaigning in suburban atlanta, ivanka trump urged youre agains to reelect Kelly Loeffler and david purdue and Kamala Harris campaigned for democrats in the western part of the state. Everything is at stake when it comes to the need to elect reverend raphael warnock, to elect jon ossoff. With congress in control of the it is senate at stake, each party is painting different visions of americas future. We can make georgia number 1 in the clean and Renewable Energy in the American South and in the world. Ossoff says he does not support the green new deal, conservatives insists that he aspects many parts of the proposal. Senator loeffler cites warnocks sermons to portray him as a liberal. He said we should open up the prisons and let every one out, eliminate cash bail. Im trying to have a debate and shes engaged in name calling. Thats what we say in the heart, bless her heart. Over the weekend, warnock tweeted loefflers attacks on our faith are not disappointing but hurtful to black churches across georgia. Loeffler said nobody attacked the black church. We just exposed your record in your own words. The secretary state send 8,000 letters to individuals that requested absentee ballots. The letters warn if they established resident in another state but still vote in georgia, they will be prosecuted. Bret . Bret jonathan, thank you. Tonight we begin a series on how you, your family and your neighbors are observing the Holiday Season in the midst of the pandemic. Chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt starts us off with hugh many aspects of the traditional family celebration are undergoing significant change this year. This is an entirely new christmas for us. New for nearly all of us in so many ways, but for this family, its not just traditions that are changed but location, too. A move from lockdown california to the less stringent covid rules of texas. For the kids, that means christmas without grandma. We always went to Church Christmas eve. So that was a big deal for her to have her family with her on christmas eve. Thats all she ever wanted. So having her back there is pretty sad. Across the country, families are making changes. Were exchanging stockings and were having dinner outside. When youre not eating, youre wearing a mask. So everything is socially distanced and safe. And while covid has taken a huge physical toll, the mental pressure is huge, too. You have stress upon stress upon stress. Experts say the old adage of giving better than receiving might be truer than ever. We know by extending a hand and giving to somebody else is a very healing thing for people. It really helps one to change their mood. And psychologists say parents should talk to children about their feelings. Youre actually building the basic Building Blocks for your kids and how theyre going to cope with their own personal issues when theyre teenagers. That are nonpandemic. Finally they say be thankful for the little things. 2020 is certainly a Holiday Season well never forget. That alone perhaps can make it more rather than less special. Bret . Bret jonathan, thank you. You know, a moment ago we said jupiter and saturn were looking close but more than 450 miles aparty. Theyre actually 450 miles apart. Sorry for that confusion. Tonight they seem like theyre side by side. Take a look in the night sky. Up next, well get reaction from the panel to the agreement on a coronavirus stimulus package. First, heres what some of our fox affiliates are covering time. Khon in honolulu as the kilauea volcano erupts and shoot as steam cloud in the atmosphere. The u. S. Geologicals survey says the event lasted an hour. The threat of ash fallout is said to be very low there. This is a live look from tampa bay from fox 13, our affiliate down there. One of the big stories tonight, the National Hockey league, the nfl owners and players agreed a shortened season january 13 because of the coronavirus pandemic. It will be a 56game schedule instead of the usual 82. The Tampa Bay Lightning are the defending stanley cup champions. Although Washington Capitals may be coming back. For special report, well be right back. This year we got it done. And with free Curbside Pickup at walmart. You can get the perfect gift up until the last minute. Lets end the year nailing it. But with walmarts low prices, you still know how to do it up. And keep costs down. Lets end the year enjoying more. You are all i need baby baby to get by yesterday leaders in the senate and the house reached a major agreement that struggling americans have needed for months. What took so long . What took so long is because we could not get our republican colleagues to crush the virus. What held it up is they did not want to do anything before the president ial election. I think they felt that that would disadvantage the president. Millions of families on the verge of addiction can accept the short term because well have a new president during the length of that moratorium to extend it further if necessary. Well, the blame game, who is to blame for the delay in the coronavirus stimulus package, it is now making its way through the sausage making of the bill. Eventually will get to the president s desk probably tonight, maybe early tomorrow morning. Well see. Inside here you have 600 in direct payments to individuals making 75,000 a year or less. 1,200 for couples making to it 150,000 a year. 2,400 for a family of four. Laid off workers getting up to 300 a week for 11 weeks through march 14. The Paycheck Protection Program helping Small Businesses revive, 30 billion for treatment of disease. 50 billion for schools affected by the pandemic, colleges and universities getting 23. First ever federal rental Assistance Program in there as well. Just to name a few. Lets bring in the panel. Molly hemingway from the federalist. And we have mayra lions. Lets start with you. This back and forth and who is to delay. Speaker pelosi is clear why it didnt pass before. Thats because they didnt want that president to have it. The next president , she said, now there is one, we can move forward. Well, its very unclear what biden will get through the congress after january 20th. We dont know who will control the senate yet. Theres no doubt the democrats want more. This is a true compromise in many ways. Remember Mitch Mcconnell wanted a 500 billion bill . Nancy pelosi wanted a 2 trillion billion. They ended up in 900 billion. When both sides are blaming the other one, you know this is a true compromise. The question now is it big enough to do the trick. That will depend a lot on how fast the vaccine gets distributed and how quickly businesses are able to reopen. Bret you know, the legislative process can be ugly, molly especially in compromise. Both sides say they wanted more. It is clear. The record is clear that there was a clean bill that republicans put forward, there was even a negotiated bill at 1. 8 trillion. It wasnt clear if all the republicans would go for that but that was the offer from the white house. This is 900 billion. Post election. Right. The track record is clear. A lot of what is in the bill is what republicans put forward going back to july. Nancy pelosi did make a political calculation that it would serve her partys interests to delay the passage of the bill past the president ial election. May or may not have worked out well. Biden might have won even if she had not fought it so much before the election. But it is not a good idea to delay bills like this for political reasons. If the country ends up in recession in a couple weeks or months or whatnot, theres a lot that will not look good about how nancy pelosi handled this. In general, this has been a bad year for nancy pelosi and how shes handled things politically, nearly losing the house of representatives in what was supposed to be favorable conditions for her. This bill is 5,000 pages long, packed with an omnibus bill. Nobody knows what is in it except lobbyists and aides and theres no time to go through it. Its a Staggering Amount of money with so lit thought applied to it. Bret when they pull out the hand trucks and they have to roll the bill from one side to the other and its stacks and stacks of paper, you know its ugly when its put out there to voted on a matter of hours away. This one is really needed by people out there that are hurting. Yeah. Thats the problem. This was needed now and months and months ago. As molly pointed out, nancy pelosi dragged her feed on it. Effectively acknowledged that she did it for political reasons. There were problems with republicans in the senate. Mitch mcconnell didnt have the consensus that he needed to move forward with the kind of bill that he wanted to. Really nancy pelosi deserves the blame here. The bigger story seems to me, this was going to happen, the money would get out the door, this process is a disaster. Its so broken. The idea that you would that a bill would be 5,000 pages, that you give people less than 24 hours to read it that youre talking about 2. 3 trillion. Nobody has the foggiest idea what is in this. Its exactly this kind of thing that makes people so frustrated with what the happens in washington. They should be frustrated about it. Bret speaking of frustrated, ilhan omar tweeting out that it would make sense if it was age, but unfortunately its of importance and its shameful. Were not more important than front line workers, teachers and those making sacrifices which is why i wont take it. People that need it should get it. Talking about vaccinations for lawmakers. Criticizing her own squad member, aoc. Yeah, the whole question about whether members of congress should get this vaccine now is a really important one. Theres a certain Public Health communications value to seeing leaders in washington roll up their sleeves and get a jab in their arm. Tells people this is safe, you should take it. The Vice President has taken it, joe biden has taken it. Now i do think that its unbecoming for people that said that the virus wasnt real or people shouldnt be concerned about it to being going to the front of the line to take the virus. Or take the vaccine. The point is that its a good thing to see elected officials taking it. It communicates to the public that this is something that they should do too once they have a chance. Up next, the attorney general gives his opinion on whether a special prosecutor is needed to look into Hunter Bidens business dealings and Election Fraud.

You believe there should be a special counsel appointed to investigate the allegations against hunter biden . To the extent theres an investigation, i think its being handled responsibly and professionally currently within the department and to this point i have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel. I have no plan to do so before i leave. Does the president have the Legal Authority to order the seizure of Voting Machines around the country . I see no basis for seizing machines by the federal government. You know, wholesale seizure of machines by the federal government. I if i thought a special counsel at this stage was the right tool and was appropriate, i would do i would name one. I havent and im not going to. Bret attorney general bill barr today talking about hunter biden potential special counsel and then asked about Election Fraud and whether there would be a special counsel for that. Saying neither. He went on to say he has not seen evidence of fraud enough to overturn any of the votes in any of the states. Were back with our panel. Molly, he said he was clear to clarify as he has before, he hasnt seen enough evidence to overturn the votes. You have sydney powell, the lawyer once on the Trump Legal Team and then not on the Trump Legal Team who has been spotted at the white house meeting there. Where do you think this is going . I think that theres a difference between appointing a special counsel to investigate voter fraud and having some type of mechanism in place where the entire country can have better standards for how to handle mailin balloting. Something like a commission is what people are talking about in the senate and the department of justice, about making sure that action states have moved to broad mailin balloting programs without the appropriate scrutiny for that, that that is not allowed to continue since its nod good to have tens of millions of people trusting election results. Thats what happens. Theres legitimate concerns about this last election along those lines about how states quickly moved to expand mailin balloting without appropriate checks and balances. Theyre different than the conspiracy theories being put out there that i think attorney general barr was attempting to pat down. Bret what about the possibility of what comes next . Obviously you have lawmakers meeting at the white house and standing up january 6. The president is not stopping his push. What are you hear something. Well, hes continuing to fish it in the courts. Hes looking for members of congress that can object to this the conclusion of the election on the floor. He needs to find somebody in the senate if it will continue. The reason that people are doubting the election is that the president has been telling them before election day it would be rigged. If we want to look at the way its conducted, great. I dont think the reason so many people, tens of millions doubt the results the election was fair was just because of mailin balloting. Weve heard it from the most powerful person in the country over and over again. Bret steve . Yeah, i think its just irresponsible for say the election was stolen or to make those claims without evidence. Weve looked again and again at the evidence. Its been denied by numerous trump appointees that are judges. Its been investigated in states themselves. Weve seen this. Weve had this discussion. What we saw from attorney general barr today was a base of reflection of reality. Hes shown himself as someone willing to make a case on behalf of donald trump as long as that case has some basis in reality. The line hes drawing here is saying look, this stuff is crazy. This stuff from sydney powell is nuts. Its not true. The other stuff is not based in reality. Im not going to be part of it. Bret last thing, molly. The hunter biden case, seems like the attorney general is saying in his last few days that this investigation is okay on its own without a special counsel. The theme of the barr term is one standard of justice, this is what hes been trying to put back in the department of justice after they had rough years where they investigated Hillary Clinton and made sure that she wasnt prosecuted for anything and handled the madeup russian collusion folks by going after anybody for the most minor of charges. What hes saying here, he doesnt see a need for a special counsel. It should go on unabated and hopefully well see a department of justice that follows through. Bret well follow all of it.
