presidentialness of romney, you would have the perfect candidate. if only it worked that way, huh? much more on the iowa stakes and the states in play. first the news you need to know. we ll shift to new hampshire. newt gingrich just wrapped up a debate with jon huntsman. it seem the real sparring was between speaker gingrich and mitt romney. romney threw the first punch saying gingrich should return the nearly $2 million in fees paid to him by freddie mac. one of the things that i think people recognize in washington is that people go there to serve the people and then they stay there to serve themselves. do you believe he should give that money back? i sure do. from the form he speaker, this counter punch. if governor romney would like to give back all the money he s earned from bankrupting company and laying off employees, over his years, i would be glad to then listen to him and i ll bet you $10, not $10,000, that he won t take the offer. and responding to c
the big contract for a drug that s not been proven yet, why is it going to make an 85% profit on its government contract? coming up, we re going to talk with a member of the company s board of directors, a familiar face here at cnn. we first got wind of this story in the los angeles times but since then, have learned a lot more. investigative correspondent drew griffin is keeping them honest. reporter: it s just another good business deal for billionaire investor and big-time democratic political supporter, ron perlman. this major political contributor to both parties but particular friend of the obama white house, owns the controlling shares in a company called siga technologies, and siga this year won a sweet $432 million no-bid contract from the u.s. department of health and human services that even a democrat says is a little bit too sweet to ignore. how did this become a no-bid contract? was it justified as a no-bid contract? overall, i think we need to begin askin
let s talk about what he gets bailed out. we do know that just about half an hour ago his wife left his home which is located about 20 minutes from now. not sure if that s any sort of indication in terms of whether or not he might be released soon. currently being held on $250,000 bail. if he s able to post bail, don, he ll be unvery tight restrictions. he ll essentially be under house arrest. he ll have to wear an electronic monitoring device while he s under house arrest. in addition to that, he ll not be allowed to have my contact with victims or possible witnesses in the case and another condition of his bail would be he d not be able to have any unsupervised visits with minors. don? we re hearing, jason, that there s going to be a hearing next tuesday, what do you know about that? yes, of course, that s going to be the preliminary hearing, don, as you know, and i think what might be interested in that is that that would be the first time that jerry sandusky would com
threatening to dredge it up. gingrich reporters say getting information from the house ethics investigation would be at the least unethical. pelosi says she s only talking about information already on the record. they asked the candidate about it yesterday. we turned over a million pages of material. we had a huge report. the total 83 charges were repudiated as false. the one mistake we made was a letter written by a lawyer that i didn t read carefully. mr. gingrich isn t telling the whole story about the house investigation back then. it s complicated but they wanted to know if he used money from tax exempt organizations to fund college courses that he taught and used, by his own admission, to further his political agenda. shortly after the rival filed the complaint, gingrich hired a washington lawyer who wrote two material letters to the ethics committee. gingrich signed the first letter and approved the second. both contained statements that were false. gingrich was te
school officials say they re worried he may have sex with another student and spread the virus. even though in any case, the hershey school is a highly structured, highly supervised environment. even though condoms block the spread of hiv and taking drugs lowers the risk of admission even during unprotected sex by 96%. the school claims it cannot take any chances even though barring the student, known in court papers as john doe, would seem to violate the americans with disabilities act. i spoke to the school spokeswoman earlier. in a legal document you ve written the school has made an individualized assessment as required by the ada and its implementing regulations and determined that john doe would pose a direct threat. that s the language you used just now. i want to read to you from a question and answer document put out by the justice department by their civil rights division to inform people about the americans with disabilities act. in this document it says, and i quo
