American tourist and tour guide abducted in uganda have been released. God bless them and their families. The freed american is kimberly sue endicott, 35yearold from southern california. Tonight shes safe and unharmed but her kidnappers managed to eskip as well. Authorities in uganda say all suspects remain at large. They were on an evening wildlife in ugandas National Park when their daughterers yanked them from the car. They used their cell phones to demand a hefty ransom, half a million dollars. Sources telling cnn ransom was paid to secure a release of her and tour guide. How much was paid . That remains a mystery. Robyn kriel is here now. Amazing rescue. Walk us through what we know about todays release of american kimberly endicott. How was she freed . Indeed, its not often we get to have positive endings to these kind of stories. We understand according to the tour company who paid the ransom, we understand that it was a peaceful and uneventful handover. The ugandan authorities are calling it a rescue operation, so were not exactly sure how it all went down. We hope to get those details in the coming hours. We do know that the United States did state earlier, the state Department Said they were aware of this recovery operation of miss endicott and also said they couldnt speculate or say more because of privacy concerns. The u. S. Embassy are issuing a criminal sort of warning on the day this happened stating that american citizens should be aware of crimes of this nature, particularly by the drc border. That is a very volatile area, ana. There are a lot of different armed groups operating there at any given time trying to make money in some form or fashion. Some from minerals, or kidnappings like this. But this is the first time to my knowledge we have seen some on the uganda side. Was she targeted because she was american . Did she know an american would be in that vehicle in that tour at that time . We do not know of any ugandan authorities were involved. We know they have military advisers on the ground in uganda because of the war with al chabad and neighboring somalia but we dont know if they were in an advisory role or programs not involved at all thousands of americans visit this popular wildlife park every year. Ugandas Queen ElizabethNational Park. How safe is it . Has anything like this happened there before . Not to my knowledge fwlut have been increasingly volatile episodes happening in the drc f the park. There was one episode where an american journalist had to hide out for days fearing for her life. A number of the smaller episodes, even in some cases westerns being gunned down on the drc side but the ugandan side, not to my knowledge. The park known for its lines that climb trees, known for gorillas but we have never known anything like this. This will be concerning and will have an impact on that park, which unfortunately when the u. S. And other western nations issue travel alerts like this, usually do you see quite a slowdown of tourism in that area. Like you said, happy ending. A lot more to learn. Thank you, robyn kriel, reporting tonight. Back in the United StatesPresident Trumps righthand man in the oval office is telling democrats they can forget about ever seeing the president s tax returns. Accounting white house chief of staff Mick Mulvaney made it clear today, his word, quote, not going to happen. Keep in mind, they knew tharp not going to get these taxes. They know what the law is. They know one of the fundamental principles of the irs is protect the confidentiality of you and me and everybody else who files taxes. To be clear, you believe democrats will never see the president s tax returns . No, never. Nor should they. That is not going to happen and they know it. This is a political stunt. Not going to happen, never. But its not what the president has said many, many, times. If decide to run for office, ill produce my tax returns, absolutely. Im releasing when were finished with the audit, i will release my tax returns against my lawyers wishes. When she releases her 33,000 emails. I will release them when the audit is completed. As soon as that is finished, whenever that may be, and hopefully before the election. Final with it. Boris sanchez is live at the white house. Boris, this isnt the first time the president and people in his inner circle sent different messages. Mick mulvaney saying no, never, forget about the tax returns. Do we take that to the bank or what the president said . He said woe have to speak too his attorneys and tore attorney general and you heard him switch position in the montage you played. We should point out we heard from sources on this and behind the scenes the way theyre portraying this, it sounds like democratless have to pry these returns from the president s hands. Theyre preparing for a legal fight that could potentially go all the way to the supreme court. The chairman of the house ways and Means Committee, richard neal, who is spearheading this effort of transparency, he said he believes this is perfectly legal. Listen. The last eight president s have released their tax forms, and we think here there is an mechanism where these forms could be reviewed in a nonpartisan basis and then we would have a chance to decide from there what to do with them. You heard acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney say this was a political stunt. Some of the president s attorneys said this request is ill legit my. I want to you listen to jay sec sekulow, one of the president s attorneys said he decided not to because he has an ongoing irs audit. The idea you can use the president as a political weapon is incorrect as both a statutory law and constitutionally. We should not be in a situation where individuals, individuals private tax returns are used for political purposes. As you just said, george, what stops another party from doing the thing . Ana, we have to point out President Trump broke with precedent. He was the first candidate in more than 40 years to not share his tax returns with the American People. Thats brought up all sorts questions about business dealings overseas, how much income tax he pays. Of course, theres no sign yet he intends to hand those over, ana. Boris sanchez, thank you. Joining us now California Democratic congresswoman, you are on board with collecting the taxes from the irs. Mick mulvaney said this will never happen. What say you . This is typical Trump Administration bluster. I would say to them, read the law. The law is not clear in section 6103 of the tax code. It says that the tax returns of any individual shall be provided if requested by the chair of the Senate Finance committee, the chair of the house ways and Means Committee or the chair of the joint committee on taxation. It does not say they may be provided. It says it shall be provided. And the fact this law was passed nearly 100 years ago to stop corruption and to have oversight over the finances of anyone in the United States, but especially the president , who is the most powerful person in this country who has the u sneak ability to sign federal bills into law and by himself direct an entire executive branch of the government. The white house it is so important. The white house is saying theyre willing to die on the hill for this. Theyre willing to take this fight to the supreme court. Why do you think theyre willing to fight so hard to keep the president s tax returns secret . Im wondering what they are hiding especially since as you pointed out in your previous segment, the president said many, many times over he would veal his tax returns. Now, every president has revealed their tax returns over the last four decades. And theyve done it because the American People need to know that their president is complying with the tax laws of this nation, this they are paying their fair share and that they are not taking deductions that that should not be taken. These are these are things that inspire confidence in the American People and we want to make sure that the president is operating properly. As mull vein kbroivaney poin however, voters were willing to elect trump without seeing tax returns. So how hard are dems willing to fight for in . Remember, President Trump wasnt voted in with the american of the American Peoples votes. But nonetheless, we still have the oversight responsibility as the Tax Committee of the house ways and means. We are the ones that need to make sure that there is proper compliance and that there is indeed transparency for this president so we can answer the questions that the American People have about this president , about whether the tax law that the president was so eager to pass benefits him, about whether he has foreign income, and, of course, about whether he has paid his fair share of taxes. I hear what youre saying but that wasnt what chairman neil ses fay specified in terms of why he wanted to get his hands on these tax returns and we heard from the president s lawyer, jay sekulow, this is a political game about scoring points. Oversight is extremely important and in fact what is key and critical in chairman neils letter is he wants to see whether our proper audits that were done of President Trumps tax returns, we dont know if there have been thorough audits. We dont know the results of those audits are and we know that Richard Nixon was given a clean bill of health at first by the irs, but then when the joint committee on taxation looked deeply into his taxes, they found he underpaid by 472,000. Then the irs reaudited him and found that, oops, well actually really does owe over 400,000. So do we know whether President Trump has been properly paying his taxes and whether the audit system is working . The irs says its auditing the president and Vice President every year, but we dont know whether its being done on a proper basis. So if chairman neil wins and gets his hands on these tax returns, my understanding is hes the only one who will have access to those returns. Its not like they will be made public, right . So then what . Well, he will be able to look to see what is going on with these taxes. He can go into executive session with us, members of the house ways and Means Committee. But first he needs to see what is there and he will have the expertise to be able to analyze what keys are key and critical and especially whether the audits are being done properly.

I will tell them the truth, the only answer i feel is honest, which is i trust my fellow americans but tend of the day theres exactly one way to find out for sure. Buttigieg is one of several democratic contenders out on the trail today. Look at the map. We have cnn ryan nobles out where Bernie Sanders is holding a town hall and i understand its still going on. Whats is the big headline there, ryan . Ana, a little history being made here in malcolm. Were told this is the first time a president ial candidate visited this tiny town off i80. Its population less than 300 and in this hall behind me there may be more than 300 people listening to senator Bernie Sanders give his pitch to voters asking to build on this resolution he believes started here four years ago when he challenged secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Senator sanders usually sticks to his talking point at events like these but at this point hes taking questions from some of the folks here in iowa. Thats par for the course when youre making pitch for voters and one of the questions he took is about the rights of felons when it comes to voting. Sanders has been in fafber of exfelons after they left prison to get their full rights back but he was asked a pointed question about whether or not felons should have the ability to vote while still in jail. Thats something they do in his home state of vermont. Sanders said yes, he endorsed that plan and that is something they should look at more broadly, allowing people in jail serving sentences an opportunity to cast a ballot. That may be a little controversy and further out than some of the democratic opponents have been willing to go but thats an example how these Democratic Candidates are finding a way to stand out. This is a big deal. A lot of different people with a lot of different ideas and so many votes to go around. Bernie sanders trying to find at least one issue can he stand out in the crowd on and try to convince iowa voters ahead of their caucus next year. Ana . Ryan nobles in iowa. We will check back.

President trump airing his grievances of the Mueller Investigation with his goto line as the attorney generals own deadline for the release of the full mueller approaches. Attorney general general barr said he will deliver it as soon as april if not sooner. And as democrats chomp at the bit for a full look at the unredacted version, lawyer Rudy Giuliani said theres nothing left to see. I know bill barr. For many, many years people in this town know him as a man of the highest integrity. Also, everything hes doing is being run by rod rosenstein. The report was put out by barr and rosenstein. The fourpage summary . He gave him full scope to do an entire investigation. Theres no way rosenstein would sign his name to something that said they found no evidence of collusion, no form of obstruction that they could reach any conclusion on, so i guarantee you except for little quibbles, im not worried about the report at all. Theres no twhiez two lawyers would have written that kind of letter if there was any issue. Anna navarro is joining us now. Does Rudy Giuliani have a point . If theres no issue or nothing left to see, then whats the proper of letting the American People see it . I think its circular logic, and i think that there should be nobody with more interest in having this be seen than donald trump and his legal team. So that the American People have some trust in the system and have trust that the president of the United States did in fact not act illegally and inappropriately. So william barr said its coming, its coming and democrats want the unretacted cop
