They talk, they walk, they smile. Just like us. A lot of news to get to and begin with that controversial verdict out of San Francisco where an undocumented immigrant has been found not guilty in the 2015 shooting death of kate steinle. President trump made her death a rallying cry for his border wall and called it disgraceful and steinles family also spoke out and Clayton Sandell starts us offer. Reporter good morning, george. You can see the candlelight vigil memorial placed on the pier where kate steinle was shot and killed. Prosecutors believe this was a murder but the jury deciding this lightning rod case disagree. After six days deliberating the jury found Jose Ines Garcia zarate not guilty of murder or manslaughter. We believe the verdict is a correct and accurate reflection of the law. Reporter kate steinle was 32 walking along San Franciscos waterfront in 2015 with her father when she was shot. She loved life and the people in it and she loved us and we miss her greatly. Reporter in a 2015 jailhouse interview Garcia Zarate admitted shooting steinle. Did you shoot kate steinle, the lady who was down on pier 14 . Yes. Reporter but claimed he found that gun and when he picked it up it fired. Accident or intentional the case supercharged the president ial elections debate over ill league immigration. He was a convicted felon previously deported five times. Were going to shut down the sanctuary cities have that led to preventible deaths of so, so many. Reporter just before the shooting Garcia Zarate was in jail on drug charges but those charges were dropped and San Francisco officials set hi free ignoring a federal i. C. E. Request to hold him. Overnight theagency said this could have been prevented if San Francisco had simply turned the a alien over. From day one this case was used as a means to foment hate, foment division and foment mass deportation. Reporter steinles father said the verdict came as a shock saying justice was rendered but it was not served. President trump tweeting too calling the verdict disgraceful. Garcia zarate was convicted on a minor weapons charge and could face jail time. After that i. C. E. Officials say they will try to deport him again. Clayton, to pierre thomas. Hes in washington, d. C. And, pierre, the department of justice had a very Swift Response last night. Reporter robin, good morning. Thats right, the attorney general issued a blistering statement blaming San Francisco which is what is known as a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants, in a statement Jeff Sessions wrote, quote, San Franciscos decision to protect criminal aliens led to the preventible and heartbreaking death of kate steinle. Sessions said that the suspect would not have been on the streets of San Francisco if the city had worked with immigration officials to remove him. Law enforcement officials tell me that the Justice Department may pursue federal charges in the steinle case. The family is going to wait and see about that. In other news, concerning the Russian Investigation and you have new reporting, exclusive new reporting on what mueller and his team are up to. Reporter yes, abc news learned that the special counsels office has incurred total expenses in excess of 5 million in the first months of the investigation. Those expenses include money for staff and travel involved in investigating whether associates of the Trump Campaign colluded with the russians in a 2016 election. A more detailed breakdown will soon be released but those numbers give you a sense of how broad and aggressive the probe has been which also includes targets like former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort recently indicted and trumps former National Security adviser Michael Flynn who is now in muellers sights and apparently contemplating cooperation with the special counsel. Its comparable to the 70 million spent over six years on previous investigations like the whitewater probe, robin thats right. It is comparable. Cassian a wide net. More from jon karl. Jon, thats the mueller investigation. New reports that the president trying to curtail the congressional investigations into the russian collusion. Reporter yeah, the New York Times reports on several republican senators who have been contacted directly by the president and asked to end those congressional investigations. Some of those republican senators are on the record including richard burr who is the chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee. The times writes mr. Bur said mr. Trump was not fully aware of the impropriety of his request because the president still has the mindset of a businessman rather than a politician and bur tells the times, quote, businessmen are paid to skip things they think they can skip and get away with but that is it a highly unusual thing for the president of the United States to call members of congress, key members of congress and tell them to stop investigating him. Meanwhile, jon, it had been full speed ahead for the president s tax bill in the national yesterday when all of a sudden it hit a snag late in the day over costs. Reporter yeah, really extraordinary scene in the senate where they were actually negotiating details on the senate floor. The question is whether or not the tax cuts can be scaled back if the deficit turns out to be higher than anticipated. Looks like that provision will no longer be in the bill. That could cost them some votes but i have to tell you, george, although it was quite a scramble last night here at the white house and among the Republican Leaders on capitol hill, they are confident that this still will pass the senate. May take some time but they are still confident. Meanwhile, a lot happening at the white house yesterday including new pressure on President Trumps secretary of state, Rex Tillerson from the white house itself. Reporter yeah, thats right. There are reports tillerson is on the way out. The president was asked by cecilia vega about that and his only answer was rex is here. Meaning here in the white house and, in fact, he was. But i am told this is a matter of time. It may be two weeks, it could be two months. But Everybody Knows where this is heading and is heading towards Rex Tillerson ultimately leave the state department. Big shakeup diplomatically. More on that from our chief Global Affairs anchor martha raddatz. No secret that the president and Rex Tillerson have not gotten along for much of the year after Rex Tillerson reportedly called the president a morin. The secretary of state also facing questions from inside the department. Reporter exactly, you know, tillerson doesnt treat trump the way trump likes to be treated. He has a complete lack of government experience, political experience, hes at odds with him over north korea, iran and, of course, as you said those reports that he called trump a moron in private. But at the state department as you say positions havent been filled. A couple of thousand people pushed out, so he doesnt have real allies on either end of washington. This could be a real ideological shift if the reports are correct over who the president is looking at for secretary of state. His current cia director mike pompeo and that will leave a vacancy at cia as well. Reporter it certainly would and there are reports it would take that senator tom cotton is a possibly and also reports that admiral bob harwood, a former navy s. E. A. L. Is being looked at as well. If you recall back in february, he was looked at, in fact, offered the job of National Security adviser after mike flynn left. He turned that down because of personal reasons, but would have to see if he was offered it this time whether hed take it. He was Deputy Commander of Central Command under jim mattis. They are very good friends and like mattis, total warriors but harwood also has white house experience in his past. A lot on the table. New fallout over those Sexual Harassment allegations, calls are growing for representative john conyers to step down as he faces multiple accusations and a House Ethics Committee probe. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi doing an aboutface now saying he needs to go. Our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce has more. Shes there in washington. Good morning, mary. Reporter robin, good morning. Well, john conyers remains hospitalized this morning with stressrelated illness, a clear sign that this controversy is taking a toll on the 88yearold congressman as the drumbeat for his resignation is growing louder. In a rare move of bipartisanship, this morning leaders on both sides of the aisle are calling for congressman john conyers to go. I think he should resign. He should resign immediately. Congressman conyers should resign. Reporter but the congressmans lawyer says hes not going anywhere. It is not up to nancy pelosi, nancy pelosi did not elect the congressman. And she sure as hell wont be the one to tell the congressman to leave. Reporter the powerful former chair of the congressional black caucuses says hes made the case to conyers in person. Given over 50 years of service but this was not going to get any better, in fact, i can see it getting worse. Reporter conyers denies all allegations of misconduct but admits paying one former staffer a 27,000 settlement. Now, congress has secretly paid out 17 million to settle workplace complaints and weve now learned of a big payout for claims against disgraced former congressman eric massa. Close to 100,000 in taxpayer money paid to two male staffers. Its the largest known settlement of its kind for misconduct by a single lawmaker. Weve been hearing a lot from conyers lawyer asking why there arent calls for democratic senator al franken to resign now that more women have come forward accusing him of Sexual Misconduct. What are you hearing. Reporter i talked to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who feel the allegations against al franken should continue to be investigated by the Ethics Committee but they are calling for a swift review. Now, some do note that the allegations against franken are very different and that unlike conyers, franken has apologized. True, all right, thank you, mary. We get the latest on matt lauer facing new Sexual Misconduct accusations after being fired by nbc. As the Network Faces questions about what they knew, abcs linsey davis has that story. Reporter questions continue to swirl about who knew what and when were hearing from matt lauers first wife married to him in the 80s saying she supports him 100 and says she called lauer last week to tell him a reporter showed up at her door and said some things were going to be coming out and that he said none of it was true. One week later, of course, those allegations came out and he was terminated. Now were starting to see the first images emerging of the former today host in photos by dailymail. Com leaving his estate on island, new york. As many as six women have come forward with allegations by lauer. One alleges she was summoned to his office for sex. Another claims that he exposed himself and others accuse him of making lewd inappropriate comments. Nbc unequivocally denies any knowledge of complaints against him prior to monday and jeff zucker former president who led the today show when he was just 26 years old had this to say. Obviously ive known matt for 25 years. And i didnt know this man. In a Statement Released thursday man lauer said there are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain i have caused others by words and actions. To the people i have hurt, i am truly sorry. He added some of what is being said about me is untrue or being mischaracterized but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. As of last night it appeared all of his social media accounts had been deleted. In that statement some hints of what he will be doing now . He says very clearly repairing the damage will be his full time job. Linsey davis, thanks very much. Michael. Thank you, george. Now to a new recordbraking moment on the stock market.

Consumers, were spending more and feeling more confident about the economy. Remember, the black friday sales weekend, second, the major factor is potential for tax reform. Many companies have said they will pass those savings to shareholders in the form of stock buybacks and dividends which is good news if you own stocks about half of americans do. But not necessarily, michael, if you are waiting on a raise. If youre waiting 0en a raise, okay. Well, where do things go from here . Everybody is excited about it hitting 24,000. Where does it go from here. That typical 401 k , this year so far its up about 16,000. Weve now seen this bull market in stocks. Stocks rising without any significant drops go on for almost nine years. Some are going to say, well, what goes up must eventually come down.

Things like that but youre talking about 9 million in one case. 1. 4 million in another case in 2001. A million in another. Why wouldnt he sue for more . Theres been a movement to reduce the penalties from it and that might have happened here or he might just simply trying to say this is my costs.

We have lots of news to get to and begin with that stunning verdict in the murder case of t the undocumented immigrant who killed a woman in San Francisco and put focus on sanctuary cities and back to Clayton Sandell now. He is in San Francisco. Good morning, clayton. Reporter hey, good morning, george. This case which has fanned the flames of a politically charged immigration debate began right here, kate steinle was a 32yearold tourist enjoying the San Francisco waterfront here with her father when she was shot and killed in 2015. Now a jury has found Jose Ines Garcia zarate not guilty. The case caused such a firestorm because Zarate Garcia is also an undocumented immigrant. He had been previously reported five deported, that is, five times. Shortly before the shooting he was in jail on drug charges that were dropped so San Francisco officials set him free despite a federal i. C. E. Request to hang on to him. Overnight President Trump tweeting the verdict calling it disgraceful. Garcia zarate admitted to shooting steinle but the defense has always claimed that the shooting was accidental. Now, Zarate Garcia was convicted on a minor weapons charge and will serve some jail time. However, i. C. E. Officials say after that he will be deported for a sixth time, george. Okay, Clayton Sandell, thanks very much. Well take a look at an incredible piece of video from the Oswego Police in illinois. Officers responding to a hitandrun accident.

The fda just cleared the first medical device accessories for the apple watch, an ekg reader that will be able to detect abnormal heart rhythm, our chief medical correspondent dr. Jen ashton is here and, jen, this is a big thing right here. How does this work exactly. So this means the next time we say be still, my heart, you can actually just look at your wrist and you can actually see what your heart is doing but this uses micro electrodes and cloud mobile Communication Technology to detect heartbeat and then your actual heart rhythm an ekg and has the capacity to send that report to your cardiologist if you choose. Really this is to detect Atrial Fibrillation and doesnt always produce sims and can be serious so its easy to wear, its easy to use. Well see more and more things just like this biotech wearables, trackables to send medical information. All sounds wonderful. Dont get me wrong here but some potential risk as well. Always downside. To start with this is a device if we know how often our phone malfunctions. Potentially any device like this could do the same thing and ekg interpretation is a very Specialized Skill so the machine can do the bakes. A human has to do the rest. If its misinterpreted it could potentially result in unnecessary er not the thing you would go state to the emergency room. No, you would email it to your cardiologist ideally. Maybe in the future it could go to someone like a 911 but were not there yet and if it generates anxiety, unnecessary procedures and tests, its 199 then you pay a membership fee of 99 a year. I just got off the phone with a top new york city cardiologist who thinks this is actually a good idea and thinks it can help a lot of people. Thinks its a game changer. He didnt use the word game changer but Atrial Fibrillation can be serious and if you dont know you have it you can look down. Better safe than sorry. Ill check your pulse. Be still, my heart.

Simone said theyre already calling her. How about a closer look at the real Meghan Markle. The soontobe american princess making her first appearance since the engagement with prince harry. The crowd greeting them. What, they were yelling out their names. Yes, like hi, hi. Hi, harry. Hi, meghan. I was doing it too. We hear shes already learning the rule, telling one fan were not allowed to take selfies. The royals are not allowed to take selfies. Thats what she had to learn walking the line. A big debut for the royal in waiting whose fairy tale began far, far away much different setting. 20 20 going all the way back to the beginning and anchor Elizabeth Vargas is here going to give us a sneak peek of what we can expect. A little bit . [ applause ] Meghan Markles first appearance in public today as prince harrys betrothed was a hit. She handled those enormous crowds with poise and confidence and shes a woman with some experience already living in the public eye. It is difficult, however, to overestimate just how much her life is about to change or how big the difference is between life in the palace and where her journey began. This is the home where she grew up. Not a palace or a mansion, just a los angeles apartment. Above a garage. If you follow the driveway back thats where the yard is where the fruit trees are and meghan lived in the back upstairs. Reporter from the age 3 until around 6, she lived here with her mother, according to their former landlord. She was gentle. She was soft and perceptive. She was always listening and paying attention. Reporter meghan attended the all girls school immaculate heart. Christine and maria both taught meghan. She had a lot of inner strength and was spunky, feisty. She took our social justice teaching very seriously. I taught meghan in this very classroom when she was a junior. Reporter these days this photo of meghan on the wall has become the student bodys star of fame. Shes one of our sisters because everyone that comes here is like technically we could probably be part of the royal family too. Shes so pretty . Shes definitely really inspiring and she knows what she is saying. Following her footsteps in a way. Reporter it was here on the stage in the School Auditorium where her talent as an actress began to bloom. She was the star at damn yankees and she was very good and remember thinking, oh, my gosh, this girl has talent. Reporter by Graduation Day maria says she was determined to make it big . She wanted to be the best that she could be on stage or wherever that career led her. It was not at all frivolous i want to be a movie star. It was a very serious pursuit of the craft of acting. Reporter professor harvey young taught her at northwestern in chicago and remembers a young woman ready to take on the world. My lasting memory of meghan is her profound sense of self as she knew who she was. Its that perspective that i suspected would peep her well for the world outside. Reporter her professional acting debut came in 2001 on general hospital. What the hell is going on with him . Reporter hidden in the background nurse jill, a part so small they have a name for it, an under five. Which is a role that is five lines or less. Reporter casting director mark teshner took a chance her her. I have the chart. I dont see the notation. I think we read meghan for something smaller and liked her enough to give her an under five role which are not easy to get either. Reporter she later landed a role on the canadian show suits. Hi. Im rachel zane. Reporter and once Meghan Markle game rachel zane, nothing was the same. She plays a paralegal who goes far beyond the limits of her job and has that sort of glint in her eye that les you know that this is no simple assistant, you know, who should be trifled with, that shes someone not to underestimate at all. That gorgeous smile. We live in an era of tv. The fact she has been able to break out of what was a toss network show gone to the cover of vanity fair within the span of a year is quite the cinderella story. Cinderella story. You talk to so many people, friends, colleagues, teachers. What are they saying about her . I think everybody is struck by the same thing were struck by which is this is an incredible transformation about to take place. I mean you cant overestimate that as i said in the intro to this piece what, is about to happen. She will known as her Royal Highness princess henry of wales. Interesting to know she like Kate Middleton will not be a princess because you cannot be royalty by marriage, only royalty by birth. However, harry may be appointed or named duke of sussex, she would then be known as duchess of sussex. Thank you for clearing that up. Every time we say princess, the real people are like we can call her the peoples princess. But technically she isnt. Shes blessed. Thats what she is. No kidding. Duchess, princess or not. Anything surprise you . You know, she really worked hard. Weve known shes at 36 years of age shes not the blushing. Igenue that diana was and has a lot more experience in life that will probably suit her well and has experience living in the public eye. Interesting, the columnist who knew her well and several other people ive spoken to described her shrewd which i dont think they meant that in a negative way but shes a smart woman who is going to know exactly what she needs to do, i think, to be successful in this new role. I think harry was attracted to that. He didnt know too much about her. He knew nothing about her like me and many you, we had never heard of the show suits. Its on cable. Its a big hit on usa, but a lot of people havent seen it yet and prince harry said in the interview he had never seen the show and never heard of her but set up on a blind date in the soho house out in the country and she claims she only asked if hes nice. I personally i think that most pym would just say, sure. Blind date with prince harry, okay. You know. Im in but they seem so incredibly compatible. They do and one thing was striking in their first public interview how relaxed they were, they were completing each others sentences. Shes already much more relaxed in this public role than Kate Middleton was. We saw that. She is an actress so shes used to being around people. I think it feels like its genuine. Im not saying its not. We can just keep going on and on. You can see more of the american Royal Special on 20 20. Ginger left us. Downtown. Whats going on, ginger . Yes, robin.
