Shannon donald trump is declaring a National Emergency in order to build a border wall because of what he calls an invasion from the south and the lawsuits are queuing up as we expected. Kristin fisher has this story. Reporter already the House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into this Emergency Declaration and the aclu says it will sue donald trump, donald trump predicted all that when he made the announcement in the rose garden. We will have a National Emergency and we will then be sued and they will sue us in the ninth circuit even though it shouldnt be there and we will possibly get a bad ruling and we will get another bad ruling and we will end up in the Supreme Court and hopefully we will get a fair shake and when in the Supreme Court. Donald from freed up 8 billion for his border wall on top of the nearly 1. 4 billion deal just approved by congress and signed by the president today. We are talking an invasion of our country with drugs, human traffickers, all types of criminals and gangs. Reporter democrats are accusing him of fabricating an emergency. In a letter to donald trump tonight they say we believe your declaration of an emergency shows reckless disregard for the separation of powers and your own responsibilities under our constitutional system. The letter points to one statement in particular in which donald trump himself seemed to indicate the Emergency Declaration was not necessary. I didnt need to do this but i would rather do it much faster. Reporter even some republicans like Lamar Alexander calling the declaration and necessary, unwise and inconsistent with the u. S. Constitution. Donald trump had an answer for those accusing him of making up a crisis at the border. What do you say to your critics who say you are creating a National Emergency and concocting a National Emergency to get your wall. Do you think im creating something . Ask these incredible women who lost their daughters and sons, okay . Because your question is a very political question because you have an agenda. Reporter donald trump was referring to all the angel families in attendance at todays announcement. Some later approached the cnn correspondent who asked that question and he invited them to share their stories on live tv. My only son, ronald, who was murdered by an illegal alien. We need to secure the border to protect american citizens. Donald trump is completely correct on this issue. We need to protect this country. This Emergency Declaration will be hashed out in court and in congress but at least washington has avoid another Government Shutdown in two months. The chaos continues. The power panel, democratic strategists, White House Correspondent and president of real clear politics, welcome to all of you. The angel moms became center stage. A little bit of the reporting on cnn and i will tell you what the angel families had to say. These are parents of victims who were literally killed by undocumented immigrants and also have women known as angel moms, mothers who lost children or alleged to have lost children to undocumented immigrants. The use of the word alleged did not go over well. One of the family solos when asked about Media Outlets that have been claiming the word allegedly killed, quote, that is extremely insulting and hurtful, previously deported illegal alien in our case has been convicted and is in prison. Thing allegedly is an effort to discredit our story, they dont want the story of angel families to be told. This spilled over post press conference. What happened . I saw the angel moms approached jim acosta and took issue with the tone of the question, what they see as an effort to look at things happening on the southern border and disqualify or push back against the president s rhetoric that there is a National Emergency. To many of them, ive spoken with some of them and met them, this is personal issue, their children or husbands or spouse were killed by an illegal alien and to see that discrediting of their narrative was upsetting to them. How do you address this . The left will say there isnt an emergency but to these people they suffered tremendous losses very much. A real crisis in their lives. I agree and they deserve all the love and respect they should be getting. I understand too in some respects what i think we are seeing from the executive side is a reflection of the gridlock on the legislative side. This isnt anything new, donald trump isnt doing anything new, donald trump president obama issued similar executive actions. The challenge is the president setting from obama and trump and moving forward which over the next administration is, how willingly they do these things from Climate Change to any other issue. You make a point because the president said many other National Emergency 7 declared, many still in effect right now, several previous president s, not that it is unique but nprs headline many president s of declared emergencies but not like trump has. They want to differentiate, 3 quarters of the time president s use their emergency power to impose economic sanctions on foreign parties, the declarations follow terrorist attacks or natural disasters. Critics say trumps declaration is categorically different in that the president is using his power to push a border wall far more bigger and expensive than congress is going to pay for and quote the California Attorney general saying this is not 9 11 or the iran hostage crisis of 1979. Trump is right, this will get hashed out. Duo joe do jennifer in the New York Daily News thing trump is on solid legal ground, there seems some consensus that hes on solid legal ground but trump is probably right, they will go to the ninth circuit and may not get a ruling there and this will be appealed probably all the way to the Supreme Court. Whether it is different or not, the nuances will be sorted out in court but trouble try to move ahead as quickly as he can. This is his issue he has to deliver on for his base and he wants to set up this contrast between himself and the democrats as he moves into the 2020 campaign. There are those publicly saying they would tear down the current existing border barriers if they had a chance. I dont think thats a particularly helpful discussion. What you are starting to see is people with the primary voter audience in a general Election Voter audience and a decent amount of this wall was constructed during the obama administration, both parties built portions of the wall. I come from a border state and people do feel there is value to having Border Protection. The question on a macro side is, is this the best use of time right now to be focusing specifically on this. This agreement we need Immigration Reform but do we need to be spending all this time on this one issue. When democrats were in control they didnt get it done, republicans didnt get it done. The president does not need congress to say so to declare an Emergency Congress has a right to override him after the fact with a vote of both houses. How likely is it republicans in the senate would join them . You cover this . I dont think they would have the requisite number of votes but even if they did white house officials of made known there would be a significant effort to rebuff any sort of vote and if it came down to it they would at least have a major discussion about vetoing it but they are not worried at the moment that is going to happen. Final word to you, tom. I dont think one of the things this does after trump had a significant bump after the state of the Union Address which had a bipartisan message trump is back to brawling and this will put the focus back on the split in the republican caucus, you mentioned Lamar Alexander and that is not a good thing for republicans, not a good thing for trump. Shannon i think he likes to be in the brawling position. Thats where hes most happy and most comfortable. Stick around and come back, we have more to discuss with you. It is becoming clear that Paul Manafort will spend the rest of his life in prison for not paying taxes on millions he received the lying to banks online applications and lying to investigators about communications with a russian translator. A special team led by Robert Mueller recommends he served from 19 to 24 years in prison and pay 24 million in fines. Special counsel Robert Mueller claims in a new court filing that prosecutors have evidence former Trump Advisor Roger stone communicated with wikileaks, the organization that released private democratic emails during the 2015 campaign. Stone was indicted on charges of obstruction and witness tampering denied evidence of such communications exists.

The Chicago Press is on hold because of the deadly shooting in aurora. An interesting twist today. This case becomes more bizarre by the day or even the hour. Two men were being questioned by Chicago Police today. Tonight they were released without charge, the same two men who were initially detained on wednesday, described by police on thursday as persons of interest, formerly arrested as potential suspects. This morning, friday, and tonight, friday night, they are free men, with the Chicago Police Department Spokesman saying, quote, due to new evidence as a result in todays interrogations the individuals questions by police have been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete. That statement just hours after Chicago Police said they had, quote, probable cause to believe the suspects committed assault and battery against justin small it after he left the subway shop in chicago in the early hours of january 29th. The two men again now released are apparently brothers originally from nigeria and police say at least one of them worked with small it on the set of the fox tv show empire. In early stages of this investigation Police Released Security Camera images of two men they said they wanted to talk to. Jesse smaller was asked if he believed those two were the men he says attacked him, used racist and homophobic slurs, putting news around his neck and shouted this is m aga country. I was there. For me when i was released i was like we are getting somewhere. I dont have any doubt in my mind that is them. Never did. There have been reports including from our own reporter matt finn in chicago that police have been looking into the possibility that the entire attack was staged, but yesterday a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department Said those reports were, quote, unconfirmed and small it is still considered a victim in this case. You could not make this up. We will stand by because it is an ongoing investigation. Thank you. The us Supreme Court will decide whether the 2020 census can include a question about citizenship. That could affect the allocation of seats in the house of representatives and distribution of billions of dollars in federal money. Justices have agreed to a speedy reviewing of a Lower Court Ruling that blocked the administration from using the Citizenship Question adding it to the census for the First Time Since 1950. New reaction from democratic hopefuls to Donald Trumps Emergency Declaration, more federal dollars to the border wall. Some say of elected there actually open to daring down the current barrier. What are you learning . We heard from democrats on the campaign trail have made it clear they do not support Donald Trumps wall that tearing down an existing wall is new rhetoric moving the political meter as we get closer to the 2020 election. As donald trump works with his team to build a wall on the texas border several democrats are on record saying what goes up must come down. Would you take the wall down now here . Absolutely. A new position from beto orourke, former texas congressman who represented el paso. He double down on his comments on it to milwaukee. We were safe before the wall in el paso, we were safe after there was a wall. We are slightly less safe after the wall was built in the el paso sector of the usmexico border. Report
