Back doors and running or hopping the back fence. It was just chaotic. I saw gunshots to the heads and backs and atomistomachs. It was everywhere. He was able to hold my hand and his tears just broke my heart. I told him, you cannot leave me. I just want to see my brother, thats all i care about, nothing else matters to me. A good afternoon to you, i am craig melvin right here just outside the pulse nightclub of the scene of americas deadliest attacks since 9 11. Here is what we know right now. 48 of the 49 killed inside had been identified, officials have released the names of 36 in all. The ages ranged from 19 years old to 50 years old.

Federal officials telling nbc news that the shooter, omar mateen, visited saudi arabia twice, once in 2011 and once in 2012. A short time ago, president obama talked about the investigation compar
Anthony kennedy joining the liberals, the Supreme Court yesterday struck down a controversial law in texas that had forced over half of the states abortion clinics to shut down. Passed in 2013, the law stated abortion clinics must meet the same building standards as walkin surgical centers. It also required doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, but the Supreme Court ruling yesterday said that neither of these provisions offers medical benefits sufficient to justify the burdens upon access that each imposes. When the law was passed the number of abortion clinics in texas dropped from 42 down to 19. Yet despite the victory, many of those clinics will never reopen. Yesterday Msnbcs Thomas Roberts spoke to former texas senator wendy davis. You may remember shes the one who staged that elevenhour filibuster to prevent the bill from passing. Its going to take several months, i think, to see us rebound to a place where women throughout the state have t
Against him . And the plot thickens. Were following reports that the hacking of tom democratic officials was more widespread than first thought. A wild scene outside of trump tower yesterday after a man scaled more than 20 stories up the building saying he had a message for mr. Trump. Its 5 00 a. M. On the east coast, 2 00 a. M. Out west.

The personal accounteds of Clinton Campaign officials and Party Operatives are also said to have be
That youre going to hear about in the next few days. James comey confirms he was investigating. And a check in on the president s work day. Golf, golf, golf, golf, more, more. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Vladimir putin was the first world leader to call donald trump after he was sworn in as it will 45th president of the United States. And the president was incensed that staff did not tell him right away, forcing him to delay returning putins call. That is just one of the revelations in the comey memos, the former fbi directors contemporaneous accounts of his conversations with the president , which have now been made public, thanks to republican efforts to shake them out of the Justice Department. Now, presumably, it was an effort, they hoped, would vindicate the president and discredit comey. There is absolutely no evidence here of any obstruction of justice. Theres nothing else in there, no red flags, no smoking gun that would incriminate

Theres nothing else in there, no red flags, no smoking gun that would incriminate the president. And so as trey gowdy, who had seen this several months ago, its the best exhibit a defense of President Trump. Hmm. Not sure about that. Because like the nunez memo, this latest gambit by the president s allies has backfired in a spectacular fashion. The memos, if anything, bolster the credibility of comeys account, showing that his story about his interactions wit
