Narrator Joel Patrick Courtney was sitting in jail in albuquerque. It was december 2004. The married father of three was facing decades in prison if convicted of kidnapping, sexual assault, and battery charges. As investigators began checking out the possible link to Brooke Wilbergers case, a call went out to her family. They had waited more than six months for news, any news, about their daughters disappearance. Now, there was a man in custody who they thought might be able to reunite them with their daughter, just as Elizabeth Smart had been returned to her family.

And when i heard the news, i thought, they made a mistake. They tried it again. And No One Else knew what id prayed, because i hadnt told anyone else, because it was always, Find Brooke. You know, help us to Find Brooke. I guess that was a selfish prayer, you know, to help whoeve

privilege, i think as we talk about what these conversations could be between pat cipollone s attorneys and the doj, that grand jury, i should say, what is covered by executive privilege? just remind us here. what conversations could potentially be covered. what we know is that pat cipollone and others have claimed executive privilege to allow them basically to avoid answering questions about conver conversations, private conversations they claim they had with donald trump leading up to and including on january 6. we know with respect to the january 6 committee that pat cipollone, although he appeared before that committee, that he used executive privilege oftentimes to avoid answering specific questions. and this is going to test, quite frankly, whether that privilege holds now that we know that there is a grand jury, a criminal investigation taking place with respect to donald trump. these conversations that pat cipollone s attorneys are having with the doj presumably des
house speaker nancy pelosi is in taipei. china is lashing out. nearly two dozen war planes crossing into taiwan s air defense zone. just after 7 a.m. local time in taipei as i m speaking. speaker pelosi is getting ready to meet with taiwan s president and to visit taiwan s parliament in just these next hours. as we await the meetings and await to see the speaker leave her hotel, chinese president xi has placed them on high alert and launched military exercises around taiwan. the red boxes that are going to pop up, each indicate a place where chinese exercises are now taking place. tonight the biden administration is warning china. there s no reason, as i said yesterday, for beijing to turn this visit, which is consistent with longstanding u.s. policy, into some sort of crisis or use it as a pretexts to increase aggressiveness and military activity in or around the taiwan strait now or beyond her trip. now the biden team has been struggling to separate biden from pelosi. f
