Heres abcs steve osunsami. Get on the ground right now.

Get on the ground reporter 44yearold joseph santos, who police say is seen on Cell Phone Video refusing commands, was shot and killed.

Rachel Maddow takes a look at the days top political news stories. And his time working with manafort was laid out by the prosecutors, the next thing was the Plea Agreement with the government and then more discussion later on of the same basic theme. Prosecutors seem to want to get that out on the table very early.

And the prosecution definitely wanted that laid out before we quit court today. They wanted that out on the table and brought it out before they went through chronologically the different crimes that they may or may not have been involved in.
