We have gruesome video in, though, now which appears to show Palestinian Militants opening fire on a civilian car. You hear the gunshots, the car crashes, and there are no signs of life inside. Dozens of israelis we know have been taken hostage, including this young woman who was kidnapped and taken away on a motorcycle. In a moment, im going to be speaking to her roommate this hour.

He feels the charges under review right now in this case have nothing to do with the Trump Campaign of 2016, with the element of collusion. He believes he is innocent, trump does. And he thinks that this is that mueller is going after manafort so aggressively, specifically to try to embarrass the president , to try to take him down, to try to harm his presidency and that the media is complicit, that were going along with it and it bothers him. It has him really angry and hes been telling that to his confidants, theyve been of course telling that to us reporters.
