it was a fictitious case. when you this toyed with the lead prosecutor who saw me as his path to stardom who investigated my office nearly $20 million in transactions. and in the absence of a crime, he attempted to try to manufacture crimes. shannon: there is a 52 page indictment, described this way, accusing you of treating government and campaign funds as a personal piggy bank, buying cars, selling them at a market what you admitted to doing. sound like they gather quite a bit of information putting together this indictment. that same agency walked into federal court and said that this indictment of 24 felonies has no merit. and they dropped every one of those charges against me today incorporate what they asked for was a plea not from me but from a campaign organization for a
their last day? reporter: hi, erica. a lot of them are very emotional to be leaving today but a lot of them are also showing a lot of pride for having worked for gm, some for decades. some of their families for decades and just a short time ago, the last shift ended at 3:00 p.m. eastern time and we saw a large group of workers cross the highway just to my right, they got together, holding signs, holding flags and asking cars as they drove by to honk their horns in support and it really shows just how much this plant and the workers here have meant to this community. now, according to gm, the reason why they re closing this plant and four others across north america is because people aren t buying cars like the chevy cruz any more. they re buying trucks, they re buying light suvs and they re also shifting their attention to autonomous vehicles and to making electric cars which
