The that information that i have, the last time hes been to a colts game was like three years ago. This looks like a pr stunt to me. He knew our team has had the most players protest. He knew we were probably going to do it again and so, this was what it looks like. Power comes to the game, tweets a couple of things out and leaves the game with an attempt to tlart our efforts. Also on twitter today, an extraordinary change of insults between the president and a Top Republican senator. After being slammed by President Trump, bob corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee, said quote, it is a shame the white house has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning. He was responding to tweets President Trump fired off this morning. In them, President Trump claimed corker quote begged the president to reendorse him for reelection and said he wanted to be his secretary of state, but he turned him down. Then he blamed him for the iran
Hence i would fully expect corker to be a negative voice and stand in the way of our great agenda. Didnt have the guts to run. I want to go live now to cnns ryan nobles outside the white house. Ryan, what do we know first about pences decision to leave that nfl game . Well, it appears that there was some sort of planning ahead of time by the white house and by Vice President pence just based on what the Vice President and the president put out on their social media feeds today. I want to show you a tweet from the president that went out shortly after the Vice President left that game and stated on twitter himself that he was leaving because the nfl players were kneeling during the National Anthem.

Ana, its important to point out the logistics of this whole thing. Players in the nfl have been kneeling during the Natio
Were injured after he drove into the crowd. The police have detained the man and taken him away. They have not provided any details about him yet. They havent provided details about the number of causalities, about the nature of injuries at this time, and at the moment the police are saying they are investigating this incident. Its not clear what caused it. The police have responded rapidly with a huge presence. The area thats cordoned off is, perhaps, a half a mile by half a mile by half a mile. I can see cars at the side of the road. There were armed officers on the scene here. This is typical if the Police Suspect that this could be, potentially, a terrorism incident that they would deploy this type of armed officers. They havent said its a terrorist incident, but given the number of attacks in london over this summer and in particular two incidents where pedestrians were mowed down by drivers, police in this incident not taking any chances.

Today, a look inside the twisted mind of the late Charles Manson from someone who met him facetoface. This is cnn breaking news. And welcome to the lead. Im jim sciutto in for jake tapper this week. We begin with the breaking news. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson with a surprise appearance in the White House Briefing room just moments ago. To talk about brandnew measures to keep the rogue nation of north korea and its Nuclear Ambitions in check. Its really just the latest step in a series of, as you can see, ongoing steps to increase the pressure, and i think this is, though, to hold north korea accountable for a number of actions that theyve taken. Tensions have been ramping up and just this morning the president declared the nation a state sponsor of terrorism. Tomorrow, the Treasury Department will be announcing an additional sanction and a very large one on north korea.
