A newscast reviewing and analyzing top stories of the day as they happen. Said yes. We expect more detail. Shepard its my understanding there was testimony about a time when Paul Manafort essentially ran out of money. He did. Theyre saying in 2014, when his former top client, who the mueller team described as manaforts golden goose, ukrainian president victor yanukovych. Gates testified when he left it decreased the Income Stream. Heres how much the Income Stream was down. Gates testified that in 2016, manafort paid between 200,000 and 225,000 for yankees season tickets. But then, manafort asked gates to write a letter to the yankees saying that gates actually just borrowed manaforts credit card to make that huge purchase. This case that started with a lot of testimony and a lot of exhibits and ed showing that manafort lived a lavish lifestyle for several years has now evolved into a case about a former lobbyist and campaign
and whether there was collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia to throw the election. Todd dupree is former Attorney General in the bush administration. Listen here. I think what the president is keen on doing here, a few things. Limiting the topic matters that mueller can get into. The president s team had an adamant they want the spotlight to be on things that happened before the election as opposed to after the president was inaugurated. Mueller is insisting on asking questions about things that happened after the inauguration, specifically the Michael Flynn firing. All of the meetings that the president had with james cummings, the former james comey the fbi director and the circumstances under which comey was fired. And the conversations with Jeff Sessions that the president had about his recusal in the russia investigation. There were lots of questions about those topics in the list of 29 questions that muellers team gave to the president s legal team in march. Mueller has since reduce the number of questions and has
agreed to accept some of the answers to them in writing. But he still wants to ask some questions to go to the issue of obstruction, in person. Thats really what the president s attorneys are resisting here. The president is telling his attorneys to keep talking with mueller, to see if there is some sort of deal that can be struck. Im told that one possible compromise might be ask the questions about russia, and possible collusion in person. And then have any questions about obstruction of justice. And the answers be in writing. The president continues to insist that he is innocent of all of this, he believes that sitting down with Robert Mueller could convince mueller of that. The president s attorneys continue to insist to the president that that is a bad idea. Sources also tell fox news that they have not done any Prep Sessions with the president yet, either in bed minister this week or anything prior to that. The imminence of any interview with Robert Mueller, i would say, shep, is probably fairly
low. Shepard john roberts, live at the white house. Weve heard a lot about Robert Muellers legal team. The president has called them a bunch of angry democrats. Supporters note their wide range of experience unravelling complex cases. Who are these lawyers . And is there really any evidence that they have an agenda besides getting to the truth . Trace gallagher has been looking into that, and the facts of these Men And Women behind the special counsel. Hey, trace. Trace we looked at 18 lawyers working the Mueller Probe, some playing a bigger role than others. All of them are very seasoned attorneys, with very high octane specialties. As for The Big Picture we should note that nine of them are former Department Of Justice lawyers and eight were either u. S. Attorneys or worked in the u. S. Attorneys office. Seven of them are registered democrats, four have no party declared. And we couldnt find the Voter Registration records of the others including Robert Mueller, though his wife is a registered republican. Three of the special counsel
lawyers worked in Robert Muellers william hail law firm. As we noted, these are heavy hitters. But as it pertains to the trump investigation, some have very interesting backgrounds like Michael Drieben currently the Deputy Solicitor General overseeing the criminal dock elt of the d. O. J. One of less than ten lawyers in history to argue more than 100 cases before the Supreme Court. Theres andrew weissmann, currently on leave from the d. O. J. s fraud unit, he also headed up the Enron Task Force that oversaw 34 prosecutions including kenneth lay and ceo jeffy skilling. Jeanne reed of the willter hale law firm, represented Hillary Clinton in the 2013 lawsuit, and conated to clintons campaign. Aaron zebley former Counterterrorism Lawyer that testified at al qaeda terrorists. Elizabeth prelegar is fluent in
russian and fulbright collar in russia. She also clerjed for Supreme Court justices ruth bader begins berg and elena kag wren. Ryan dickic was assistant u. S. Attorney specializing in cyber crimes and fraud and prosecuted the romanian hacker. And greg andres is an expert in foreign bribery, with vast experience prosecuting organized crime. The bottom line, were talking about an array of specialties that may or may not be indicative of how wide this scope of the Mueller Probe is. Shepard interesting, thanks, trace, appreciate it. The number of available jobs in the country is closing in on an alltime record. Turns out the number of people actually getting hired, is going down. So what does that mean if you look for work .

Molly went missing three weeks ago. She was dog sitting for her boy friend in the town of brooklyn, iowa, that somebody saw her going for a jog on july 18, that her boyfriend says he last heard from molly that night on snapchat. Well go through the time line with her dad. Her family believes molly is alive and somebody is holding her. Her father, robert tibbetts, joins us now. Thank you so much, i know a lot of people in the awedens and in the newsroom think about your family lately. I hope youre doing as well as can be. Well, were actively searching for molly. The more we are active in that effort the better we feel. You have said you believe shes alive and going through something she can survive. What made you tell us that . You know, a lot of that is speculation and conjecture on my part. I am a father who wants to know his daughter is alive. Im trying to think of logical scenarios where we can bring her home. That is certainly one of them. I know the authorities probably have a better handle on what is going on. I believe that every day that we dont find molly, hurt or harmed, that shes somewhere we can get her home safe and sound. Shepard you were very specific when you said i think she may have gotten into a car with some one. Why is that . Well, because she didnt get up and walk away. Theres no sign of any sort of foul play that anyone can point to. Theres a logical scenario, she left with some one she maybe knew. But thats all just speculation
on my part. And a hope that shes somewhere, that shes still safe and healthy and we can get her home. Shepard did she have a relationship that was of interest to you, aside from that with her boyfriend that you have not discussed yet . No. Shepard its not like weve been through all of those. Shepard lets talk about that night. Molly is a regular runner, right . She runs daily . Correct. Shepard and for how long . Did she usually take the same route . Well, if youve been to brooklyn, theres maybe a dozen treats in the entire streets in the town. You probably dont take the same route but theres not a lot of other options. Shepard does she run for a half hour, an hour and a half . An hour, 45 minutes. Shepard it was 7 30 you think the run began that night . Well, people saw her running at around 7 30. That was typical, she would run
late in the evening before it got dark. But once the heat started to subside. That was just her typical run, her routine. Shepard is it true as far as you know at 10 00 that night there was a selfie to her boyfriend inside the house . As far as i know she sent him a snapchat, there was a photograph and some comment that was, again, so totally routine that dalton told us he doesnt even remember what it was. Shepard that was 10 00 at night. That would have been lock after the run was complete long after the run was complete. Well, as far as i know he opened it at 10 00. But that doesnt mean she sent it at 10 00. Shepard but with that social app there is a way to know when she sent it. Do you know when she sent it . No, but that underscores the need to work in partnership with the Technology Companies. I wanted to correct something that you had said, that i was
claiming that the Technology Companies were not cooperating. We dont know, i dont know that theyre cooperating or not. The authorities are working with them. My concern was that based on previous episodes weve seen Technology Companies are reluctant to cooperate, citing privacy issues. I think in this instance when mollys line is on the line that we should expect the Technology Companies to work vigorously with the authorities, the same way the media and the community have stepped up. And so, its not something that i know or am claiming. Its just a concern of mine. Shepard hows your communication with the authorities . Terrific. They have been absolutely fabulous and they deal with us on a daily basis. Theyre concerned with our well being. How were doing. How were dealing with the psychological, emotionally. And giving us sort of general advice on how to cope and how to work with the media, for instance. But they are not willing to share information because they do not want to compromise the search and they do not want to put molly at harm. Shepard do they give you hope, do they dash hope, or do they not give you any of that . No, they give us hope and they give us hope in the fact that the Men And Women that are involved in this, that we have met with, tell us all that they have daughters that are mollys age and this is very personal for them. They are extremely good at what they do. But in this instance theyre extreme lip motivated. Shepard you mention molly might have gotten into the car with some one, is that the sort of thing shes done before . No. Well, she would definitely get in a car with some one she knew. Shepard is there some one she knows who might have, as you put it at one point, made a bad decision, and you dont want to it get out of hand. Is it your belief, now, that dont know. Shepard You Dont Know. I only ask because its speculation that took on a life of its own. Its just that, i think it was something i said in an interview that took on a life of its own. Its just in general, there is a logic, a logical scenario where molly is still alive with some one and we can get her home. How she got to that point is totally up to speculation and i probably shouldnt have done hah. Shepard hmm. Is there something that people can do for you thats not happening now . Is there a place that youd like to know more about or people youd like for the police to talk to or anything like that . Well, we started to do interviews with the media and i cant be more grateful to the media how sensitive theyve been to our family and how terrific and effective they have been in driving tips and leads to the authorities. In parallel we started a reward fund that was with crimestoppers
so that people could provide anonymous tips through crimestoppers. We started that fund last thursday, its already up to almost 300,000 as of today. And we have generated 650 tipt and leads tips and leads in the three days weve been up and running. All of this effort between the media and the community is working effectively. Shepard some of our viewers have noted, and its been my observation from the beginning, youve been a man who is very at ease and very strong in this role. I wonder, and i know how important you feel like it is to keep the discussion of your daughter whos missing alive. But i wonder where you find it in yourself to be at such ease and so easily communicating at such a difficult time. I tell you this, if it were anyone else in our family in this situation than molly, she
would be in this chair. Molly is the one with all of the poise and the public speaking skills. I am really not very good at this. I do
