Right now. From nbc news, World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. Good evening, a crushing disappointment today for the Obama White House and the president s go it alone strategy. A controversial move to keep some 4 million undocumented immigrants from being deported, first went aground in appeals court. We learned, thats where it comes to rest after a deadlocked u. S. Supreme Court Announced it was unable to rule, raising questions about president ial authority and leaving millions of immigrant families with questionable futures. Justice correspondent Pete Williams has details. Reporter the ruling is a huge blow to Rolando Martinez and isabel aguilar, they came here and children were born here and plan to stay. They will have opportunity to, to be whatever they want to do in the life. Reporter president obama wanted to let those adults stay, too, and get work permits, but lower courts blocked his immigration policy and today the eight members Supreme Court tied 44 unable to decide whether the president had the authority to order such a sweeping change.

So im still waiting for something positive for my life or my family. Reporter the administration will not be moving to deport those here illegally, if they dont commit crimes, but that i cannot apply for work permits. I think it is heart breaking for the millions of immigrants who made their lives here, who have raised families here, who hoped for the opportunity to work, pay taxes, serve in our military and more fully contribute to this country we all love. Reporter because a tie doesnt decide anything the ruling says nothing about president ial powers. Though, republicans acted leak it did.

Our conversation in his new york apartment the Presumptive Republican nominee, also responded to our reporting last night, but found some of his claims about clinton in that speech are inaccurate or unsupported. You delivered a speech yesterday. You went hard after Hillary Clinton. She said your speech was full of conspiracy theories and that you attacked her because you had no answers on substance. Whats your reaction . I attacked her because she has been terrible at what she does. Whether its libya, whether its the great mieg deterioration that you see, which is largely her and certainly her and obama. Shes done a horrible job. You look all over europe, its a disaster whats taken place. And shell be a terrible president. So the attack is really on the fact that she will be a terrible president. You made some very bold claims about her that didnt stand up when we put it you dont know if they stand up. What claim are you talking lets talk about your claim that she was asleep during the benghazi attack. He was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed. Were you there, were you with her . She has testified before the committee that she wasnt asleep. It happened during the day time. There is no evidence that she was asleep. It happened all during the day and it was going on a long period of time. I guess what im asking. Excuse me, it was going on for a long period of time and she was asleep at the wheel, whether she was sleeping or not, who knows if she was sleeping. She might have been asleep at the wheel. You said she was sleeping. She might have been sleeping. Somebody put out a tweet, therefore, she wasnt sleeping. Nobody else could put out a tweet . So you stand by what you said . I can tell you this, whether she was sleeping or not. She might have been sleeping, it was a disaster. It was a horrific disaster and it was on her watch. You also made the claim that her email, personal email server had been hacked. Her server was easily hacked by foreign governments. Suggesting that you dont know that it hasnt been. Wait a minute, suggesting that she would be compromised as president. What evidence do you have . First of all, she shouldnt have had a personal seber. Its illegal. Now she might not be judged that way, because we have a weak system. But what she did is illegal. She shouldnt have had a personal seber. Was there any evidence that it was hacked other than routine . I was given that information. Where . I will give it back to you. Probably, shelves hackled. You know, you can be hacked and not know it. She probably was hacked. The fact is, she should not have it. She should not have had a personal server. You have been critical of Hillary Clinton for taking wall street money . Will you take wall street money . Im taking very little. You will take some . I dont know, i have turned down, let me tell you differently. I have turned down millions of dollars from people who i dont really want them to give me their money. Shes taken tremendous apples of wall street money. I put up my own money. Now weve started raising money. I have gone to different events. A lot of money is being raced for the republican party. I think you will be surprised when you see the next report. Do you plan to debate her . Sure, i committed. Do you plan on doing them . Sure. Are you preparing . I think my whole life has been in preparation. I will prepare like eb else. You made an appeal to Bernie Sanders voters to come over to team trump. You are asking people who support a democratic socialist to come over to you, a symbol of capitalism. Thats true. You tow why . Who told me he may or may not take wall street money. Let me just tell you why. Because im no fan of bernie, but Bernie Sanders is right about trade. I mean, hes right t. Difference between him and me, i will do something ab it. In other words,ly do something about it and take the horrible deals and make them great deals for the country. Part of our conversation today in new york, mr.
