A newscast reviewing and analyzing top stories of the day as they happen. Mandate was originally and whether or not there was any collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia to try to influence the election. In his response letter, mueller said, no, i want to talk about the issues that go to obstruction as well. Im not sure where that leaves things right now. I know that the president s attorneys are formulating a response. Theyll likely have that next week. They dont want to let the president sit down with mueller and talk oneonone about these issues of obstruction. They might be willing to submit some written answers on the question. Mueller has said he would accept written answers in person also. What is interesting as well today about the Press Briefing, President Trump has talked about there being no credibility of this russian investigation, calling it a witch hunt, talking about malign actors at the fbi. Chris wray was asked why we should believe what hes saying about protecting the integrity of the election when the president says theres no credibility. Listen to that. The president has tweeted that that investigation by the Special Counsel is a hoax and should be shut down. You said you dont believe its a hoax. Why would the American People believe what youre saying about the fbi when the president says that the investigation by Special Counsel and when the Press Secretary said there was a lot of corruption in the fbi. Do you have any response . I can assure the American People that the men and women of the fbi starting from the director all the way down will follow our oath and do our jobs. Not surprising that wray would stand up for the fbi. The question is, will the president do an interview. I was told almost certainly no but he has the final say. I was told by rudy guliani last
night the president wants him to keep negotiating to see if one might be possible. The president believes that if he sits down with mueller and answers his question, it could clear his name. Shep . Shepard thanks, john. And prosecutors say they plan on calling the star well against paul manafort, rick gates. He worked on the Trump Campaign and was manaforts longtime business partner. Back in february, gates cut a deal with the feds and pleaded guilty to conspiracy and lying to investigators. Manafort has pleaded not guilty to more than a dozen charges including bank fraud and conspiracy. His lawyers are trying to pin the blame on gates. Yesterday prosecutors suggested they might not have gates testify against his former boss. But today the judge told them they could not prove conspiracy without putting gates on the stand. So the prosecutors told the shepard the big focus on manaforts spending, peter. Right. He allegedly had millions of dollars in multiple accounts located in cypress that even his bookkeeper in Southern California didnt know about. We heard about this today. Witness number 12, Heather Washkun from the ssb firm, she said she didnt know manafort had any International Accounts because he never told her. So when he is ordering a blazer from the Beverly Hills stores, he was generally using an account she didnt know about. Same story when he wanted a 15,000 ostrich skin jacket. He used another jacket that he kept hidden from the feds and his own bookkeeper. Shep . Shepard peter doocy live. Another member of our Thunder And Lightning team. Thank you. Pope francis calling for the end of the Death Penalty in the whole world. He says its an attack on human
dignity. The pope changing the official Catholic Church teaching on capital punishment.

Shep, this is very important because the pope is not issuing an opinion, this is a huge change that goes to the heart of catholicism. Catholic teaching. For a long time, the Death Penalty was considered permissible in rare cases and a protection of the common good. Pope francis has declared inadmissible in all cases. The pope approved the change in early may and the vatican
announced it today in rome. Its been talked about for some time, even three years ago when the pontiff spoke before congress on his pilgrimage to the united states. Every life is sacred. Every human person. The pope says in the light of the gospel, the Death Penalty is inadmissible because its an attack on the dignity of the person. First of all, its a message to all catholics. Lets go back to what its like to respect all life and all cases. I send a message globally. With this change, the Catholic Church moves in the direction of the general public. Shep . Shepard lauren, catholics
reacting. Is it a mixed bag . Its a mixed bag but interesting the reaction from conservative catholics, which is negative. Saying the pope doesnt have the power to rewrite things he doesnt like in the catechism. Adding if the only standard of change is the subjective against human dignity, theres implications on other things like marriage, divorce and human sexuality. So expect well see more reaction.
