News news4 iteam. The security hub in rockville staff there can monitor the 5,000 cameras inside the systems 200 plus buildings. With so many cameras this is an nbc news special report. Heres lester holt. Were on the air with a Major Development in the investigation into russian influence as it may pertain to the Trump White House and the Trump Campaign. We want to go right now to Pete Williams with word of the appointment of a special council to lead an investigation. Pete. Reporter after serving as the Deputy Attorney general for 22 days the deputy Rod Rosenstein today took himself out of overseeing the russia investigation turning that over to robert muller, he has the former fbi director who served 12 years in that job. He was actually held over two extra years before james comey became the fbi director. He will have the to investigate that any u. S. Attorney would, including the power to file criminal charges. This is exactly what Congressional Democrats have been pushing for for the appointment of a special counsel ever since rosenstein was confirmed and partly because the attorney general Jeff Sessions has taken himself out of making any decisions about the investigation. So to be clear, mr. Mullers per view will be the entire russia issue, the whole question of whether any associates of the Trump Campaign were in any way involved in helping the russians try to influence the election last year and any subsequent things that flow from that. Now its important to note, lester, that as the special prosecutor hes not completely independent like we used to have in the old days. Special prosecutors are still subject to the control of the Justice Department but its much more independent, its much more separated from the political appointees than it would have been if Rod Rosenstein, a trump ultimate Decision Maker about this investigation. And what about the work thats been done so far by the fbi . Does that continue on, do they start from square one . Reporter they dont start from square one. The normal rule for special counsel is that they use the staffers provided by the Justice Department, typically career prosecutors but he does have the authority under the rules to bring in his own people, but lester, lets be clear, the immediate effectiveness is going to be to delay any ultimate decisions about the where the investigation goes, because when mr. Muller comes on to the job hell have to spend a good deal of time getting up to speed on it but hes certainly no stranger to the fbi having been the longest serving fbi director in history, second only of course to j. Edgar hoover. Pressure on this has been building since the president fired James Alexander at the white house. Is there any reaction . Reporter we just reached out to the white house. Were hoping to get a reaction from them. Within the last 48 hours as recently has monday we heard from the press secretary saying on behalf of the president that there is no need for a special prosecutor in the russia investigation, saying that the three investigations that existed with both the Senate House Intelligence committees involved was sufficient. The addition of another investigation, the addition of resources required would be effectively sue pump flewus. I dont know why you need Additional Resources when you already have three entities investigating this. This has been a remarkable last week, eight days really from the firing of james comey, then the meeting the next day with the Russian Ambassador and the Russian Foreign minster with the president where we would later that meeting revealed highly classified intelligence to those two senior russian officials. Within the last 24 hours we learned about the memo from the fbi director james comey basically commute indicating that in one of his conversations in private, the president said to him according to this memo that he basically should end the russia investigation. So now we have this which effectively takes it out of the hands of those others and the president. We wait for a reaction from him at any moment. Former fbi director has now been named by the Justice Department to be a special counsel, special prosecutor if you will to look into possible collusion between russian influence and the Trump Campaign. Well have full details of course coming up here very shortly on the east coast on nbc nightly news, continuing coverage on nbc news. Com as well. Im lester holt in new york. Well see you very he soon. Story that has moved really at warp speed. Were sorry we had to interrupt your earlier report about the story out of Rockville High School, but scott, bob muller, former fbi director is a strong choice for this role. Unique background for robert muller. Not only was the fbi head he was extended beyond the normal ten year term. He led the fbi during post9 11. In naming a special counsel, recognize who the Justice Department is pulling out of this investigation. Three men with huge local ties, Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney general, the longest serving u. S. Attorney up to this year for maryland. The head of the fbi now is andy mccabe who was part of the investigation into d. C. s former mayor vince gray in 2014 and dana boente. He was handling part of this investigation. Hes in virginia. Youve got three local figures now off the at least temporarily as the special counsel gets on the job. Hes been working at a local law firm in d. C. He presents a unique person seen as sort of a bipartisan figure which is pretty rare these days in washington. Robert muller was on the short list of names being rumored to be the next fbi head to replace james comey, getting back to his old job. Hes a local figure now replacing other local figures on the russian investigation. All right. Thank you very much. Hopefully well get back to your story that we interrupted in progress.

Visit kp. Org to learn more. Kaiser permanente. Thrive. Back to our top story now that was interrupted by that special report. Two Rockville High School students both of them immigrants accused of raping a 14yearold girl inside a school bathroom. Prosecutors dropped those charges and said they didnt have enough evidence. Obviously it doesnt show what happened in the bang room, but it appears to show us what happened beforehand. Theres no sign of security. And no indication anyone was watching as the students disappeared from public view. Scott macfarlane tells us the videos raising questions about whether schools are doing enough to keep kids safe, scott. Reporter as we mentioned earlier Montgomery County schools has 5,000 Security Cameras. And according to multiple sources the footage inside rockville high says theres no way for rockville security to school in march shows a nearly empty hallway which makes it easier to see the young girl hand in hand with a taller boy first in the hall and then entering the boys bathroom where they disappear for minutes. No security staff is seen. No one trying to intervene or check on them. The two teen boys believed to be seen in this video were charged with rape. Montgomery county parents say its troubling students could so easily vanish into a boys room. Its a huge problem. Its a huge problem. Reporter jennifer alvarious roe says security staffers should be seen. Its all playing defense, defense, defense. Its never being proactive. Theyre not monitored. Reporter a review by the iteam reveals possible weaknesses in the Security Camera system. In the hub staff there can monitor the 5,000 cameras inside the systems 200 plus the district has said it has too few people to watch them all in realtime. At headquarters or in the school buildings. The cameras arent the end all be all and we know we have to do more than just that. Therapy help in some areas that there are blind spots. Reporter craig rice on thursday the county will consider a 2 million increase in funding for School Security to add more staff and more lighting and possibly remove some of the bathroom doors. We still have to have and make sure that staff are adequately checking those areas to ensure that students arent just hanging out there doing other things. Reporter the allegations inside rockville high also triggered a sweeping security review of every single Montgomery County school and rockville high was first. Reporter weve learned that review is nowhere close to finish. Only 10 of schools, about 23 high schools only are complete so far. Taking much longer than they expected. No matter what happened inside that school that march repercussions are still being felt district wide. Any indications of what changes they might make . A lot of talk about moving more staff which does mean teachers into the hallways during student movements get the teachers out there near where students might be, might be going into bang rooms unnoticed. That being said we did not get a response from our request for comment from the teachers union. I guess teachers would have strong opinions about being deployed out of their classrooms. Thank you, scott. We want to take you back out to backyard weather we dont have to tell you how hot it is out there but boy oh, boy dont get used to this . Reporter dont get used to this.
