Reporter good morning. This is the latest development in an ongoing saga over whether or not President Trump will eventually speak to the special counsel in the form of an interview. Now we have learned as you just mentioned that Robert Mueller raised the potential for a subpoena to potentially compel President Trump to testify if he refuses to do so voluntarily. Now the president s lawyers view this as something that would be perhaps beyond muellers mandate, something that he would have to go through either a lengthy Legal Process or pass a constitutional muster in order to be able to do, but there are other legal experts out there who have said that the Supreme Court has upheld that the right of prosecutors to compel the president of the United States to testify in the form of a subpoena. The other big question here is whether or not President Trump will plead the fifth. He has the right to not testify, to remain silent in a case in which he is a part of but he has said in the past w
Synagogue in pittsburgh during saturday services. The gunman walked inside and started shooting. City officials have not yet announced an exact death toll. They only said there are multiple fatalities and the scene inside the temple is very bad. The man who opened fire on that synagogue has been identified, robert bowers, 46 years old, he is alive and has been detained by the police. One of the many threats that Law Enforcement is now looking at is his online history. Which now includes a list, a growing list of antijewish posts. President trump spoke to reporters about the shooting a short time ago. Lets take a listen. They didnt have any protection. They had a maniac walk in. And they didnt have any protection. And that is just so sad to see. So sad to see. The results could have been much better. It is a very, very, it is a very difficult thing, for me to stand as president , to watch any of this go. Cnns nick valencia has been on this story all day. Bring us up to speed on the late
Squirrel hill neighborhood of pittsburgh, they typically start their services for shabbat on saturday, which is the busiest day of any synagogue around 9 45. And it was shortly after 10 20 we got our first reports of an active shooter. Initial reports brought to us by Shimon Prokupecz, our crime and justice reporter, indicated as many as 12 people shot, that included at least four dead. But a short time ago, last hour, from the Public Safety director, we heard at a press conference, we not confirm the number of those killed, only saying there were multiple casualties. Adding that this was a horrific crime scene, perhaps one of the worst that he has ever seen. He did say there were six injuries. And of those injuries, included four Police Officers. He said three officers had nonlifethreatening injuries. Three others were in critical condition. He called this a federal violation, this act, being investigated as a hate crime. The feds now in charge of this investigation. That safety direc
That same day, the words that are used to women in congress, go home. Whether because they didnt look like others here. As annoyed as is insulted as we all should be, about the president saying that about our colleagues its also not showing mercy for him to say that about so many people in our country as he wants to split up families. I think mr. Monthlinowski to sp to the statements the president made later in the day. Mr. Molinoski was born abroad. The house hopefully has come together standing as one to denounce the white houses xenophobic attacks on our members. On our people much and what is america . America is many things a land of a great contribution. A beautiful land that god has given us. Values that we share that are being undermined. But america is also a nation largely but not totally largely of immigrants. The founders conceived america as a haven for refuge. For people fleeing from religious and political persecution, and Thomas Jefferson alexander hamilton. Having oppo
Involving trump. The Washington Post summing it up with this headline. Trump and his allies are blocking more than 27 different probes in an all out war with congress. The two sides could be headed for more clashes. Democrats are giving the irs and Treasury Department until friday to turn over six years of the president s personal taxes, and theyre considering multiple obstruction charges. The Trump Administration has decided to say a blanket no to any oversite whatsoever, no witnesses, no documents, no nothing. Claiming executive prifl for something they know there is no privilege for over the hundreds of thousands of documents. You cant have an executive privilege when youre not the executive. They know that vast categories are inapplicable to the privilege here, so theyre just stonewalling. Jeremy, another big week, subpoenas, deadlines for the Trump Administration, but will it still be more of the same . It certainly appears that way, fredericka. The battle lines are drawn, and the
