Massive breach of customer data, 57 million exposed and to make it worse theyve known about it and didnt tell anyone. What were hearing now about it and why the company says your information is now safe . Lets begin with Alabama Special Senate election with less than three weeks to go, embattled republican candidate roy moore offered a new denial last night to accusations of predatory behavior. Did you ever date or go out with underage women . No. No. Have you ever engaged in any Sexual Misconduct with any person . No. Its against the law and it would be wrong. Moores denial comes after President Trump all but endorsed moore before heading to his maralago estate in florida. Traveling with the president , Peter Alexander is in west palm beach. Good morning to you. This was a pretty dramatic shift by the president. Whats he saying this morning . Its notable this shift from the president. Youll remember just days ago we heard from the white house in effect saying the white house, the president wouldnt be weighing in, that they wanted alabama voters to make the decision for themselves. The president is breaking his silence as you know on this defending roy moore, casting doubt on moores accusers. Its notable because he is going against the republican establishment tide. Mitch mcconnell, the Senate Majority leader and paul ryan, among those republicans in effect saying that moore should get out of this race, the president even going against his own daughter who told the a. P. Recently that theres a special place in hell for people who prey on children. The president , though, noting moores vigorous denials. Heres part of what he said when pressed by my colleague kristen welker. Take a listen. I can tell you one thing for sure, we dont need a liberal person in there, a democrat, jones. Ive looked at his record. Its terrible on crime. Its terrible on the border. Its terrible on the military. Mr. President , is an accused child molester better than a democrat . Is an accused he denies it. I mean. If you look at what is really going on and you look at all the things that have happened over the last 48 hours, he totally denies it. He says it didnt happen and, you know, you have to listen to him also. Reporter white house advisers noting that in the situation the president drew parallels between his predicament during the campaign where he faced accusations for more than a dozen women of Sexual Misconduct and the experience of roy moore right now, specifically about this moment, the president said that women are very special. This is a very special time, that he was very happy that all these women were coming forward in the wake of all these accusations against powerful men with claims of Sexual Harassment against them right now. The president so far saying nothing about roy moore today but while he may be on vacation, hes not taking a break from twitter. Early this morning lashing out at a couple familiar foils. Lavar ball. Thats the father of one of the ucla basketball players. The president calling ball an ungrateful fool, a poor mans don king as he described it. The president also saying that hell be having meetings and making phone calls from his winter white house here at maralago but notably today within the last half hour or so the president did head off to his golf course. No word from the white house if hes hitting the links. We want to go to huntsville, alabama. So juan, what are we hearing from both campaigns now that the president has weighed in . Reporter as soon as donald trump made those comments yesterday, and chris, the Roy Moore Campaign tweeted out the video. They sent the email out to their supporters as part of a link to get their donations. This is a campaign that has worked tirelessly over the last two weeks to deny these allegations, to poke holes into the stories of these particular women. The clip you played a bit ago, he went on, along with the former state republican senator and he went bit by bit going from the yearbook to whether there was light, to what time the restaurant closed in which Beverly Nelson worked at, back 30 years ago. They made an effort to really put into peoples minds that this is a conspiracy to really get rid of roy moore, his wife was on that program yesterday with him and she will said that they, they meaning whoever is behind this plot, is working just to undermine them in order to take away from the attention from what they called the ultra liberal doug jones. Doug jones, the democrat, in this race. Hes the former u. S. Former u. S. Attorney that is prosecuted clansman when he hear donald trump say that hes not tough on crime. This is an individual who has a history of taking on these types of tough cases. I want to pull you a sound byte yesterday when doug jones was asked specifically about donald trump backing up his opponent roy moore. Do you believe roy moore is a sexual predator . I believe the women. I think that answers the question. I believe their stories have credibility and i believe them. How do you feel that donald trump at this point is endorsing actively endorsing a man who is accused of be a child accuser. Ill let the record speak for itself. Reporter roy moore has not been on the campaign trail since all the way back on thursday and theres nothing on his schedule through the weekend. Doug jones, on the other hand, had the press conference yesterday where he took reporters questions. Hes going to be volunteering at a childrens and womens shelter this morning. Last night attended a Campaign Event with more than 300 people filled up a local Baptist Church to hear him speak. Hes for a tax plan. Hed be open to cuts in the Corporate Tax rate. He said that chip, the Childrens HealthInsurance Program needs to be funded. This is a candidate whos running a completely Different Campaign from the one that roy moore has seen. Roy moore he said that more evidence is going to come out to undermine this women. He wants to talk about the issues but theres been no indication that thats actually the Campaign Strategy at this point and were just 20 days out, chris. Thank you for that. I want to bring in my panel for the hour. Shelby holiday and nick contavorsi. Kristen asked the president whats at play and heres what he had to say. Women are very special. I think its a very special time because a lot of things are coming out and i think thats good for our society, and i think its very, very good for women and im very happy a lot of these things are coming out and im very happy im very happy its being exposed. Hes happy shelby its being exposed but at the same breath practically, hes saying roy moore denies it. He seems to be endorsing someone whos an accused child molester . Hes suggesting he does not believe the women. The Republican Party does have another alternative. They could back a writin candidate. Here we are, theres a choice between roy moore and doug jones and know other candidates getting involved in this race. Chris schmidt said against the forces of decency against the forces of indecency. What do you make of what the president had to say and him deciding to weigh in on this . If we start believing women who are making accusations about Sexual Harassment from decades ago, we quickly get back to the allegations against President Trump. So it doesnt surprise me at all that he would say, well he said, she said, who can you believe. Its 40 years old. It takes us right back to his front door. As far as, you know, the forces of good versus the forces of light. Doug jones can win this race if people look at it like a referendum on basic deessential sill and not a partisan fight which is why moore and trump are trying to make this into a tribal war of politics. Back your tribe. Forget the allegations. If people accept that, he can win it. The Washington Post weighed in on this with a fact check which they do so well and it was a fact check on the women that have accused President Trump over the years and one thing that they have in common is contempo rainus corporation. These arent women with just because donald trump is in politics or roy moore has decided to run for senate, first of all there was an atmosphere that was created with women who are having some success, lets say, thats a weird turn of phrase but were being believed finally, were being empower to say something. These are not women who suddenly are coming forward. These are women, shelby, who have been talking about this to people close to them sometimes for 40 years. And many of these women didnt want to come forward but they felt most of them who wants to put their name behind this so for the rest of their lives the first thing you see or hear is they may have been molested by a man in the u. S. Senate. I also think what President Trump said is so interesting because hes undermining all of the senators who have distanced themselves from roy moore and even threatened to expel roy moore. What happens if he does win . What happens if hes in the u. S. Senate . You have senators calling for his removal and you have the president saying, he denies this. Why would you kick him out . Hes just undermining those in his party and weve seen that with this president time and time again. And trying to explain why hes saying what hes saying. Roy moore is somebody who got kicked of off the alabama supreme court, right . This is somebody who is being accused not of sexually assaulting women, but sexually assaulting girls as young as 14 and he says hes concerned about a candidate whos soft on crime. Its crazy and doug jones obviously a former prosecutor put people in jail all the time, hardly soft on crime. I think trumps political sensibility were formed in the 1980s and whenever hes going forward, he reaches into a tool kit and soft on crime almost a generic charge, as far as these accusers, he was the chief judge of alabama. So why would you ever want to make an accusation against the man who is in charge of the system of justice of your state . Of course they didnt come out. And more than that, when you look at the thread that runs through all of these, these are women who are dealing with men in a position of power over them, a position of power either over their jobs, a position of power overly their lives, or your 14yearold girl whos in a position of he said she said with someone who is in a position of incredible power. And when youre 14, youre mortgagified. You dont want to come forward in the first place. Men who could plant stories in the media, men who are in charge of the justice system. There are just no good options for gop right now. Ev weve been seeing signs on the campaign trail. Youre going to see those a lot more especially as trump heads down to campaign for roy moore. We talk a lot about how we have this 15 second attention span. Does this have implications for 2018 for sure . If roy moore wins, absolutely. Hes not going away. Hes already waging war on the gop. Hes calling for mitch to step down. If roy moore wins, this is not going away. What do you think . Its not just roy moore. Its john conyers and who else knows who in the house and the senate. I would be shocked if this is the last politician or candidate or sitting official in congress that were hearing this about. Itll be an issue for both parties for a while. I think well all make that bet that well hear more about it and well talk more about it. You guys are going to stay with me. Were also following that breaking news off the coast of oak can i now wa. One of its planes crash as it was bringing passengers and cargo to the uss Ronald Reagan. The u. S. Is in the region as part of the military posture on the Nuclear Standoff with north korea. Kourtney cuby is at the pentagon. What do we know about this . Reporter it was a u. S. Navy aircraft that crashed. It was on route in japan to the uss Ronald Reagan off the coast of okinawa. This is a c 2 plane which is a twin engine propeller plane. It generally brings people and mail. Its one of the ways that sailors get their mail on aircraft carriers. It lands and takes off from the carrier deck. Its generally referred to as a cod and its a somewhat unusual aircraft, when youre a passenger in it youre flying backwards. There arent any windows so its dark. In this case the cod crashed into the water with 11 passengers on board. U. S. Military officials tell us they were all u. S. Service members. Eight of them have subsequently been rescued and are described by the u. S. Navy as being in Good Condition and the search continues for the other three, chris. Thank you. I know youll keep us updated as we learn more. Nick just mentioned this, congressman john conyers, longtime voice on the hill, under investigation now for trying to violence a former staffer who tried to accuse him. Thats next. Give ancestrydna, the only dna test that can trace your origins to over 150 ethnic regions. And open up a world of possibilities. Save 20 for the holidays at ancestrydna. Com. This morning the Detroit Free Press is calling on a congressman john conyers to resign. The michigan democrat admitted reaching a financial settlement in 2015 with a former staffer who accused him of Sexual Misconduct. The woman claimed she was fired after refusing conyers sexual advances but the congressman has denied those allegations saying in a statement, quote, my office resolved the allegations with an expressed denial of liability in order to save all involved from the rigors of protracted litigation. The resolution was for millions of dollars but rather for an amount that equate today a reasonable severance payment. The House Committee is now investigating. Kasie hunt joins me now. So the Detroit Free Press which we should say is not a conservative bassion, theres another Sexual Harassment lawsuit that was filed against conyers what do we know about that . Reporter hi chris. My apologizes. I couldnt hear you until the ends of your statement. John conyers, the senior, congressman in frankly all the house. Hes the longest serving member. He holds a very powerful post as the top democrat on the House Judiciary Committee and he has now been accused by two different people, one woman anonymous in a buzzfeed story, the other who is named in Court Filings that were released late last night, both women saying that he essentially made them uncomfortable, made unwanted sexual advances and that it had ramifications in their office in the way that they believe was against the law. He is facing calls for an ethics investigation. The House Ethics Committee has opened such investigation and now youre starting to get a sense of whether or not his colleagues believe that he should step down. The Detroit Free Press, his hometown paper, calling on him to resign. The the New York Times writing a story this morning that suggests and hints at something that some people in washington have been talking about already, he is 88 years old, he is by some accounts in difficult health. In that lawsuit, the woman in question notes that she was responsible for making sure she took his medication. She was responsible for calling to wake him up in the morning. She was responsible for knowing his whereabouts. The times reported that he has gone to at least two meetings in his pajamas in recent years. Again, all of these questions piling up around the congressman and the other piece of this, chris, that i think is part of the narrative youre starting to see playout here is theres frustration among younger democrats that congressman conyers has been in this position of power for so long and that they havent had as much as of a chance to rise because that pathway has been blocked to them. I would argue that thats a separate issue from what were talking about which is Sexual Harassment. Sure. I do want to ask you while we have time and i understand i understand your point. Youve been reporting on this complicated process that staffers have to go through to file harassment claims, right . Sure. Some people have called the system archaic. This has been about the fox guarding the hen house. What are the chances that somebody like Jackie Speier who is one of the people spearheading, no pun intended, are actually going to get anywhere . First of all, chris, i would just say the conversations about connier should resign or not will have more layers. The Ethics Committee investigation that relates to Sexual Harassment sure and that is of course the primary issue that has caused us to talk about any of the rest of this information. As far as Sexual Harassment goes and the process in congress, the more that we see this, the more likely it is that theres going to be incredible pressure on these members of congress to do something. They are the ones who wrote these rules in the first place. Back in 1995 when they created the office of compliance, which is the office where congressional staffers go to complain, they that actually was a step forward at the time. There was nothing for staffers to do. It has evolves into something that critics say is very much stacked in favor of the accused, in favor of the lawmaker and its stacked against the accuser. I think the more sunlight is on this issue and Jackie Speier has said since the conyers news broke, that she had referred to a democrat and republican in the hearing who she knew had been charged with Sexual Harassment or had allegations of Sexual Harassment levelled against them. That connier is not the democrat that shes aware of. We know this is a problem and its a persistent problem and hopefully well see potential that this will change for some of the people who struggle with the system. Its not clear yet where its going. Kasie hunt, thank you. And thank you for your reporting on this. Were talking about this disparity of power, these young staffers, these folks who have been in power on capitol hill for a very long time joining the conversation now, National Reporter for the the New York Times, yamiche alcindor. You have new reporting about how democrats are reacting to this news about congressman conyers what are you learning . Democrats are really not running to the defense of representative conyers. There are people who are already hinting that this might be that this might be the hint he needs to take in order to resign because of some of the issues that kasie said but also because of the allegations being very serious. I reached out to Jackie Speiers Office Yesterday and she said these are serious charges that the Ethics Committee needs to be looking in to this and nancy pelosi who is really been someone who i think is very cautious when it comes to her members and to the democrats, that she reached out and very swiftly said, the House Ethics Committee really needs to open this investigation. I also was on the phone with the members of the Congressional Black Caucus and they were telling me, this is someone who obviously has not just been a long serving house member but someone who started the Congressional Black Caucus, hes a founding member, he was endorsed by both barack obama and Martin Luther king. This is somebody with a very storied career. I will defend his legacy but i will not defend anybody for Sexual Harassment charges. So essentially you have the caucuses that usually would rally around representative conyers really taking a step back and saying, we really need to get to the bottom of this. There are only a few people coming to his defense, one of them being representative cryber. Hes unsure whether these allegations have substance. For all he knows these allegations could be completely madeup. Cryber is in a small minority. What do you think is going to happen here . My gut tells me that the House Ethics Committee is going to thorough look at this and theres going to be a lot of pressure for conyers to want to resign. I should say because hes such a long serving member, hes title dean of the house, i think its going to be very hard to get him to resign if thats what people are pushing for. His Office Yesterday was pretty steadfast in saying that he was going to stay the course and that he was caught off guard by the ap when he said he didnt know what these allegations were. Theyre also defending him when we reported at the the New York Times that he showed up to some of those meetings in pajamas. His office denied that and said that did not happen. Theyre pushing back hard on these allegations. In the meantime, you have Jackie Speiers legislation which would make members of Congress Personally responsible for these financial settlements, does that get us any where . Congress is very good at protecting its own butt. The settlement process that were now learning more about is engineered for coverups. Its designed for coverups. If im one of these victims i have a hard time believing that the system will now turn around and do a fair job of investigating but i do think that the energy is on speiers side to push for reform here. I think its hard to defend the current status quo. There will be a push and a bipartisan one to change this. There has to be nonpartship here. You cannot say if youre a democrat, roy moore is bad, but then look the other way when its a democrat whos accused. Right. Were seeing this transcend Political Party and race, occupation, industry. I think one important point of all this its not enough to do an investigation. You have to change the system. The system has been failing women at Companies Like weinstein and charlie roses in the house and in the senate, places where you dont have robust hr department, there is no method to bring attention to this and also investigate it and hold people accountable. No matter what industry youre in, the system fails women so you cant just do an investigation and say we believe the women and not change anything. Lets talk about charlie rose, a former intern, for his show spoke to nbc news and she alleges that rose showed her a graphic sex scene from a movie. She goes over to his apartment just to deliver mail in 2002, this is how she describes what happened. I knocked and he said come in. I proceeded to go into the living room and he said i want to show you this scene from this movie. And he said have a seat, you know. Relax. And he proceeded to turn on the film, secretary, which is a sexually involved film, involving s m, unfortunately and he asked me how does this make you feel, you know . Does it turn you on . That kind of stuff. We should say that gordon said rose did not touch her but you also have a lot of these people who are being accused saying things like, i thought my feelings were reciprocated. Can we just say, shelby, if a woman tenses up when you touch her, if a woman says no, if a woman starts crying, its not okay, its not reciprocated . Unwanted. It blows my mind. Were seeing a pattern of this. Ive been having a lot of conversations with the men in my life, where do we draw the line, whats harassment, whats not . If a woman is not only reporting to someone higher up who has more power but also cannot or doesnt feel like they can say no, thats harassment. If these young secretaries, if these young assistants dont feel like theyre in a position to say no or express their uncomfortable, thats a sticky situation, thats harassment. And you cannot sit down and show a sexually explicit movie and say everythings been fine. Youve been put in a position for speaking for all men. Ill just acknowledge that im putting you in an awkward position. Men of a certain age, men who are in their 50s and 60s who frankly take offense at the idea that every man who is as old as Harvey Weinstein or as old as john connier, it was a different situation back then. Well, you know what . Again, a woman says no, you understand that that means no. A woman is crying, she doesnt want you touching her. Im just wondering what the conversations are among the guys about this. Look, i think there are some men and hopefully a lot of men who are taking this as an opportunity to listen to these stories and think about their own lives and conduct. Most men are not predators, but i think all men should be thinking about is there a time that i made someone uncomfortable or acted inproently in a lesser way and those conversations have to happen and look, the whole 60s things, it was different back then because a sense of entitlement was powerful because the opportunities for women to push back and fight back were much fewer. The cultural is changed. The behavior was still wrong back then. Its a ridiculous excuse. The other thing that i wonder about is now were getting these high profile incidents and we talk about it because it is charlie rose, we talk about it because it is Harvey Weinstein. If you work in a Small Business some where and youre a young person coming up and youre an intern and its your first job, you need that job. Youve got College Loans and you need to pay those off. You need to pay your rent or put gas in your car and some guy that nobodys ever heard of outside of your company is a predator, is anything going to change . Are we at that point or is it just that these high profile situations, people are going to be, i dont know, embarrassed or forced to make changes but theyre only going to be in certain places for certain circumstances . I think its really tough to say whether or not a young woman who is working for a small company, maybe in the midwest and is being sexual pli harassed whether or not shes going to feel like now is a time i can feel empowered because so many people are living paycheck to paycheck in the country, so many people are economically distressed that they feel they have to stay in these jobs. I wrote a story last week interviewing 50 people talking to women who said that they stayed in a lot of these congressional offices or stayed or worked for a senior aide because they were so tied to their success. This was a person that was able to write them a recommendation letter or get them a raise. I also think part of me, because im an optimist, women are watching the news and saying if he can go down, i dont have to take this. If these journalists are speaking up, i can now speak up and i wont face the same repercussions. I can only hope that women out there have a support system where even if nothing changes in that office that they can say, i have to get out of this situation. Im going to tell this person and theyre going to help me at least get a new job. Thats the bare minimum that women can remove themselves from those situations. Yamiche alcindor let that be the last word and i thank you. Outrage this morning in a popular car sharing service, uber, revealing theyve been covering up a massive hack, tens of millions of users now the victim. What the company says about protecting personal data coming up. Alright, off you go. Casual fridays at Buckingham Palace . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money nathan saved by switching to geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Back now with a look at this mornings headlines. Eight people have been found alive while search and rescue continue for other. Three more people, after a navy plane crashed off the coast of japan on the way to the uss Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier. Part after a joint u. S. And japan naval exercise. The eight rescued are in Good Condition. David cassidy, the 70s teen heart throb, died last night at the height of his popularity, cassidy had a fan base that drew comparisons to the beatles and elvis and i certainly had a crush on him. But in the past decade, cassidy revealed he was suffering from dementia and details his struggles with alcohol, divorce and bankruptcy. David cassidy was 67 years old. And former teen u. S. Doctor pleaded guilty this morning of multiple charges to sexual assault. Hes been accused by more than 130 women of sexual abuse and hes facing at least 25 years in prison. Olympic gold medallist abbey joins her name to the molested. And Uber Technologies admits it paid off hackers to keep quiet about personal data that cyber criminals stole from 57 million combined user and driver accounts. Uber paid the criminals 100,000 to keep that hack under wraps. Msnbc Stephanie Ruhle is here to talk about it as well as shelby holiday. Lets be clear about the type of information that was accessed in this breach for both uber, riders and drivers, they stole names, email addresses, mobile phone numbers and for u. S. Drivers the hackers accessed 600,000 drivers license numbers so uber puts out a statement. They say they had not seen evidence of fraud or misuse tied to the breach. Can they know this, stephanie, that this is not being misused, otherwise why steal the information . Uber paid the hackers, this was a year ago, 100 grand and the hackers agreed to delete all that information but we dont know that they have. Theyre hackers. Theyre criminals here. The thing that is so stunning is lots of companies have been hacked. Equifax was hacked, yahoo was. They were much bigger breaches but uber chose and they have a bad track record in terms of credibility of not alerting the public who had their information stolen and not alerting the authorities and in some states if you dont report a breach you could get a big fine. So they decided lets have a coverup here and its not their first and lets let it ride. Theyve got a new ceo in town because the other ones were tossed. Great, clean slate. Let me tell you what happened and well change our practices and well make it better. None of this should have happened the new ceo says and i will not make excuses for it. We are changing the way we do business. Our business is looking at this and saying, this is not okay any more. Its not okay any more. The new ceo has a chance to have a clean slate. Theyve got a great new brand officer there, but its just stunning that a company as amazing and innovative that many of us use every single day continues to have messups like this. The coverup is worse than what happened. It is like the kind of things my kids do. Stop lying about having cookies under your bed and just admit it. Well not give them a timeout, a second statement from the new ceo. You may be asking why we are just talking about this now a year later. I had the same question. So i immediately asked for a thorough investigation of what happened and how we handled it. Effective today, two of the individuals that led to the response of this incident are no longer with the company. What are the implications for uber . Its going to get messy. Theyll be lawsuits. Theres an investigation already launched by the new York Attorney general also over in london, there are cities that already have legal battles with uber and you cant see this going over well in any sort of well and uber is already under investigation for things like alleged bribery, pricing schemes. They are already in hot water. Does this ruin their customer stand. Do people stop trusting uber because not only do you have the question of, like, data practices, you also have the ethics questions . Theyre still valued at 50 billion. Uber isnt going out the window any time soon. This is a gift for their main competitors. Its not going out the window but there are alternatives. Companies like uber and many of them are collecting extraordinary amounts of data on americans all across the country, the rules on them are incredible weak and theyre doing a terrible job of protecting it. Its an epidemic. For somebody that paid the hackers 100 grand and call it a day, are you kidding me . Note to companies, you will get caught. Thats the most amazing part they thought they could get away with it. And sexual harassers, you will get caught. And you should. New video this morning thats showing a daring escape from north korea.

Truly dramatic new video released by the United Nations so a north korean soldier sprinting for his life across one of the most dangerous borders in the world. He defected earlier this month, crossing the countrys southern border into the Demilitarized Zone. United nations command says north korean armed guards who fired shots at the soldier violated a 1953 agreement between north korea and china. Keer has more on this. Watching this video is incredible. It really is. Its like something out of a cold war spy novel. You see it all play out. You see the defector run for his life across the border. You see those north korean soldiers, his former colleagues run after him, open fire and as you are going to see, you then witness on camera, a daring rescue. In the dramatic footage, released overnight, a military jeep hurdles towards the Demilitarized Zone, a border considered one of the most dangerous in the world. Inside the vehicle, a north korean soldier risking his life, desperate to defect. Heavily armed Border Guards racing to intercept him. The defector leaps from the jeep, seconds later. His former military colleagues, firing 40 rounds, he is shot at least five times, his motionless body slumped against a wall. The footage released by the u. S. Led u. N. Command then shows a daring rescue. South korean soldiers crawling to him and dragging him to safety. Just last month, inside north korea, we visited the border area known as the dmz. Our military guide took us through the very same road where the defector is seen and to the heavily guarded border where north and south are just steps away from each other. That is the border between north and south. The escape, an embarrassment for north korea, which insists defectors are kidnapped or lured by the south. Its also a diplomatic violation. North korea soldiers briefing crossing over the border, opening fire its fought Authority First time in three decades. The soldier now recovering after two operations, lucky to be alive, running for freedom, escaping with just seconds to spare. And many commenting that there was a real risk to north Korean Military opening fire across the border like that, particularly at this tense time with north korea. It is exactly the kind of thing that could escalate and end in a much worse fire fight. Thank goodness it didnt. Amazing story. Appreciate it.

Call now take control of your retirement today for the second time, a federal judge has blocked the Trump Administrations ban on transgender people serving in the military. Were going to go straight to Pete Williams for the latest on this. I guess, pete, this preliminary injunction goes a step further than the first one . It does go a little further. The essence of both of them is this. Both the judges say that the government can discriminate, but when it does, it has to have a good reason and explain why that theres a governmental justification for it and both judges, both the one in maryland and the one in the district of columbia in october, said that is completely lacking in this latest ban of transgender service. Both of them note that earlier the military had thoroughly studied this issue and included that transgender individuals could serve. Then comes this president ial tweet followed by a memorandum ordering this change which didnt have that same kind of thorough justification analysis. For that reason they say its discrimination against transgendered individuals and is unconstitutional. The Trump Administration has indicated late yesterday that its going to appeal one of them. But it has to appeal both of them and succeed in both if they want to try to turn the ban back on. In the meantime, harvard is facing an investigation into at admissions process. What can you tell us about that . The Justice Department is looking into whether this school is improperly discriminating against asianamericans. Theres a similar lawsuit going on already by a man named edward bloom who has made somewhat of a career of mounting these affirmative action challenges that appear to favor minority admissions. This in the past hes said that theyre unfair and sort of reverse discrimination to whites. Here hes serving reverse discrimination against asianamericans. Now the Justice Department is looking at the same question demanding that harvard turn over a number of documents about its policies specific about the admission of past classes and harvard has said it will comply. The government said if you dont comply with our demand for documents, then well take you to court. So the government hasnt yet sued harvard, its still in essence in the discovery stage, if you will. Prelawsuit discovery stage. So is the argument that this violates civil rights law . That its basically discrimination. Thats the claim here. Now, this is a tricky thing. Because the courts have in a sense been all over the map. But in a couple of rulings, the u. S. Supreme court has said that schools can take race into account. They cant have quotas. But they can consider race as one factor in order to achieve diversity in the student body. And on that basis, the court has twice said that schools can do this, so the question here is is it achieving that kind of diversity and how it is working. Pete williams, always good to see you.
