your case, and this is important to see if other people were perhaps involved. we know that there is one person in custody so far, and that person, you know, could be the main person or could be an accomplice, and we don t know that yet. but if it is the main person, the main target, doing this, there could be other accomplices out there, and those are important things to watch for over to the next 24 hours or so. mimi, thank you. as we continue the watch this white van make its way down the interstate there in plantation, florida, and kerry sanders is on the ground for us there. kerry, and there is something attached to the back of this van, and i m not sure if you have gotten a better look at it than the i am getting here from the helicopter. can you make out what is on the back of it? well, right here on the state road 7, us 41, and right before it went on to the what is the turnpike, and so we got a glimpse of it. it looked like on the back, it was probably like a bicycle or
former trump associate, back in court, to learn his sentencing date. though some interesting things to report from this. his former campaign chairman paul manafort pleaded guilty to criminal charges and cooperating with the mueller investigation. though manafort arrived in court today in a wheelchair, in his prison jump suit, his request to wear a suit having been denied, his hair is growing out gray. he was missing his right shoe. according to his attorney, there are significant issues with mr. manafort s health concerning confinement, and a source told npr, quote, he has a serious medical condition related to his diet. manafort s sentencing, which has been postponed until his cooperation with the mueller team was satisfied, has now been scheduled, docketed for february 8th. remain can with us tonight, mimi rocha and josh gerstein. thank you for sticking around. mimi, i will admit, none of us
credibility of that investigation out of the justice department and that is an important thing. the credibility of the justice department is one tof the most important attributes and it needs to maintain it. the second is what they actually talked about and whether they did talk about the investigation. i am troubled when you see the president walk out after this meeting and for months he has been calling the investigation a witch hunt, and he comes out and saying that they will be treated fairly, and it is an odd thing to make you wonder what they talked about, because we know that it is i reported that rod rosenstein has discussed this with the president in the past. and rod has done a good job managing it, but at times he has bent to the president s will, and i hope that is not what happened yesterday. and he has to meet with the house investigators as well about all of the allegations in the new york times. thank you, matt miller and mimi rocha and matt williams at the supreme

elena kagan and sotomayor was there also as well. and mimi rocha, talk about the change in the court, and also, i wanted to ask you briefly about rod rosenstein and whether there was anything improper as him of deputy a.g. flying on air force one and not a private meeting and so it was onot the moment that a lot of the anticipated with the president, and the president then the reaffirming that he is not planning to replace rod rosenstein. well, andrea, the two things that you are asking about are linked in some big principled way which is that we have seen through this process of kavanaugh getting confirmed to the supreme court such a politicalization of the process, and i know that politics have always played a role in the supreme court, but what we saw here where, really, a whole portion of where women and
