Door because pruitts security broke in to check on him after he didnt answer his phone. Cnns Abby Phillips joins us live from west palm beach, florida, where the president is spending the easter weekend there on palm beach island. Good morning to you. There is a lot going on. Thats right. Good morning. Just another day and another problem with one of the president s cabinet members. The Environmental Protection agency had scott pruitt as under fire today over his spending on a condo in washington, d. C. The fact that he paid what seems to be below market rate for that condo, about 50 a night. But only for the nights that he stayed there. As well below what people say you ought to be paying on capitol hill in that area for a nightly stay in a room there. But scott pruitt is just dealing with several of these issues with ethics. A couple of days ago there was some questions raised about his use of a 24 7 security detail not only when he is on official business but also whether he was on
The atmosphere like in the city right now . Ryan, like you said an hour from now that protest is going to start again, and if you look behind me former nba player matt barnes is in the distance talking about the rally. He is one of the voices that is going to be here talking about what happened and the conversation that has been happen iing over to last few da in this community. And we believe it might be one of the largest rallies they have had over the past few days, and Stephon Clark is a 22yearold father of two, and loft people in the community have been saying his name over and over and they are upset with how the Police Responded to the incident a few days ago, and the family hired the attorneys, and they had a pathologist to go through what happened that night. And in is what they believe. They believe they are refuting what the Sacramento Police department said, and that is what he was shot here on the side and the body turned and then he returned six gunshots to the back and l
Police explanation of how he died. Officers opened fire on him because they believed he had a gun. He didnt. In a just released autopsy report, it shows Stephon Clark was shot six times in the back. Cnns ryan young is in downtown sacramento. Ryan, you were talking to people today who knew Stephon Clark personally. Reporter absolutely. This is a tough story from both sides, for everyone involved in the story. So many people have been talking about what has been going on the last few days. We talk about that autopsy that was released, an independent autopsy. The family lawyer had that done by a pathologist. We know that Stephon Clark was shot in this area and maybe his body turned, according to the attorney, and hit in the back and side. You could hear people gasping as they announced it. The police chief says they need to make things happen, things need to change but they cant throw out the entire system. This is one woman who was on the stage, not only talking about the loss of Stephon
And by extension the Washington Post. Thats right. Good morning, ryan. The president is here playing golf and also tweeting about amazon on the subject for really the second time this week. Hes been tweeting about this quite a bit for several months. Its an issue that is always seemingly top of mind for him. But kind of came to a head this week when some reporting about the president s private conversations on this subject sent amazon stock tumbling. Now President Trump is here in this tweet going after amazon on some questionable basis. For example, the Washington Post is not a part of amazon, the company. In fact, its owned by amazons Ceo Jeff Bezos who used his private funds to on that newspaper. And the president seems to be making a connection here between the newspaper which often publishes unflattering stories about him and his administration and the Company Amazon which he now accuses of defrauding the u.

That Stephon Clark was shot by Police Officers eight times, six of those wounds were in his back. Contradicts the narrative that had been put forth by the police. The white house not happy with scott pruitt over his controversial living arrangements and his security detail. Is the epa chief perhaps the next to go . I think he should resign.
