A newscast reviewing and analyzing top stories of the day as they happen. Going to plead guilty but theres no cooperation agreement. Theyve been hoping for that, but there isnt one. What does that say in the Bigger Picture for the Mueller Investigation regarding the president , if anything . That litany you just laid out is correct. What it doesnt give the Mueller Investigation is any information mr. Cohen has specifically about the payments to those women. Not so much the taxi medallions. That Doesnt Interest mr. Mueller. But certainly the women, the money paid for on behalf of candidate trump. Youre depriving mueller of that inside information and you have to make the case some other case. If theres no criminal case to be made against the president , certainly a report to congress. Shepard either way, the items seized in the raid, if you will, on those three properties, those items can be used by the feds what ever way they chose to use them because they were legally obtained. Youre right that is fair game for any prosecutor anywhere
in the country, certainly mr. Mueller. Shepard good to talk to you. Thank you. Certainly. Shepard the other Breaking News were following a live look at allentown, pennsylvania where the District Attorney is announcing the first charges to come from that bomb Shell Grand JuryReport On Predator Priests in six of the eight diocese in the state of pennsylvania. Could justice finally come for some of the victims that have waited so long . Were monitoring the News Conference and have developments in this hour. First, still waiting a verdict in the trial of President Trumps former campaign chairman. Jurors asking what it means for the entire verdict if theyre not on the same page on at least one of the counts. Well head to the courthouse for the new developments there. Were continuing to follow a jet that has been circling four hours now after it blew tires on take off from teterboro,
new jersey in route to london. Among those on board, Rapper Post Malone that last night won the record of the year at the video music awards. That Emergency Landing is coming at some point on a Breaking News day on fox news. Feel the clarity of nondrowsy claritin and relief from symptoms caused by over 200 allergens. Like those from buddy. Because stuffed animals are clearly no substitute for real ones. Feel the clarity. And live claritin clear. Courthouse in alexandria, virginia where the jurors asked the judge what they can do if they cant agree on a single count against the president s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. In a note to the judge they wrote if we cannot come to consensus on a single count what does that mean for a final verdict . The judge told them to go back and go about their business. But then after the and continue deliberating. After the jury left the room, the judge said he would accept a partial verdict, not information that he gave to the jurors. Paul manafort faces 18 counts connected to Lobbying Work that he did for a pro Russian Party in ukraine. Hes pleaded not guilty to all charges. Peter doocy is outside d. C. Live. Shep, the wording of the letter that the jury sent the judge is somewhat vague. Its not clear that they cannot come to a consensus on one of the 18 charges or if they cant come to a consensus on any of the 18 charges. Are you dead locked on every count or one count . We dont know. Today i have spoken to someone that saw the note from the jury. They said it was edited. A word was crossed out. So the regional question from the jury is what happens if we cant come to an agreement on any of the charges. The judge said this has happened before and even though he can accept a partial verdict, he told jurors to go back and review all the evidence in this case and try to get 18 unanimous verdicts. Shep . Shepard how did the jury react to the judges
instructions, peter . One of the jurors nodded his head quite a bit when the judge told the entire group, all 12, that they need to respect the minority opinion among the jury and the judge said youre not partisan, youre judges, youre the exclusive judges to the credibility of the witnesses. First thing this morning before the note indicated that there might be a problem, Paul Manafort looked to be in very good spirits, which is unusual for him here. He was laughing, patting his lawyers on the back, a source close to the team said hes in good spirits because the deliberations have stretched passed the two days that he thought the jury was going to take. His legal team is off site with mrs. Manafort, waiting for a call from the clerk that theres been another note or something else. Shep . Shepard peter doocy monitoring developments. Thanks. Well continue with that. Ahead, a former prosecutor and current Defense Attorney says
todays developments in the Manafort Case may not be good for his defense. Ill ask him why after this. Dear greatgreat grandfather, you made moonshine in a backwoods still. Smuggled booze and dodged the law. Even when they brought you in, they could never hold you down. When i built my family tree and found you, i found my sense of adventure.

Shepard more now on President Trumps former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. We await a verdict in his case for tax fraud. Lets go to bob bianchi. So a jury passes a note. What do we do if we cant get a consensus . It looks like they reached a number on the 17, but i guess deliberations continue. Yeah, we play this game all the time as Trial Lawyers trying to figure it out. When they come back and the judge gives the charge and says to them, you try to come without doing violence to your judgment
and respect minority opinions and they say its about one count, that was a gamechanger. That is a gonethrough and due diligence, meticulously going through a Document Dump that the judge threw in there. They had to piece the documents together. They went through it all. Just seems like theyre hung up on a charge. I would suspect based on the evidence produced that the tax case is solid for the prosecution and those will be all guilty verdict. Maybe they get a hung jury and a mistrial on one or two charges. I suspect they come back today or tomorrow. The question is how long do you get for this . I guess the foreperson will go, hey, we keep trying this, we cant get there. Heres what weve got. Would they present the verdicts as reached from the Charging Document and decide whether they would go back and work on the last charge . In other words, we would know most everything relatively soon . I think the time will give
the allen charge, where the judge will say listen, without doing violence to your judgment, can you foreperson, come to a conclusion, do you think further deliberations will be useful with respect to the counts that you cannot come to an agreement on. If the consensus is if they cant, if it is in fact the number of counts where they made a finding, guilty or not guilty, he will take a partial verdict and mistrial where the charges they couldnt come to a conclusion on. Shepard this is really the beginning for Paul Manafort. Theres another trial coming. That has more to do with activities with the president. This has nothing to do with it. Right. Sure. They got manafort in a bind here. If he gets convicted, heres the play, shep. It will be interested if prosecutors or the defense comes knocking and says, hey, you know, maybe we should talk before that other trial. They have him in the breach at that point in time if he gets convicted on any of these offenses. He has all the reason in the
world to cooperate. Under sentencing guidelines, you get a sentence north of ten years under sentencing guidelines. Absolutely. The judge will have a huge amount of discretion here. The judge is an interesting character. He wasnt friendly to the prosecution. Challenged the prosecution in front of the jury, which was detrimental. Ive had it happen. Its an ugly thing. Who knows with this judge and his personality would do when theres ultimately a lot of discretion with regard to sentencing. Hes up to the ten plus point if he gets convicted of the tax case. Shepard on just this trial. Yep. Shepard thanks, bob. The other big stories with new developments. Well go live to iowa for the terrible ending and a monthlong search for Molly Tibbets. Her father says that investigators have found his daughters body. Cops say the dad charged with killing his family in colorado was cheating on his pregnant
wife and hes accusing her of strangling their children. Also, theres word the Russian Group accused of hacking the 2016 election has struck again. Just months before the midterms. What were learning about the targeting coming up and in addition continuing to track the small jet with 16 or so people on board, including post malone, as it waits to make an Emergency Landing 4 1 2 hours from teterboro. Stay tuned. Since my stroke, he hasnt left my side. With the right steps, 80 of Recurrent Ischemic strokes could be prevented. A bayer Aspirin Regimen is one step to help prevent another stroke. So, im doing all i can to stay in his life. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an Aspirin Regimen. Land in an Emergency Landing at stewart, new york, sometime in the next ten minutes. We believe its shorter than that. Theyve been burning off fuel. I mentioned the Rapper Post Malone is on board. We mentioned his name because hes a famous guy you might have heard on. He won Song Of The Year last night on the video music awards
sources tell fox news that a few minutes ago, this is a straightup guilty plea. We dont know which charges that hes pleading guilty to. He has been accused of Campaign Finance violations or investigations for Campaign Finance violations and loans on taxi medallions. Were told whatever hes pleading to, its a guilty plea and includes jail time. Michael cohen has agreed for three to five years in jail. He will be going away. We dont know if he will be taken this afternoon or if the judge will give him some time to get his affairs together. Looks like Michael Cohen will spent three to five years in jail on a guilty plea on charges
that were brought by prosecutors from the certain district of new york. The fact that hes pleading guilty would seem to indicate according to sources that ive talked to theres no possibility that Michael Cohen is going to flip on President Trump. If there was some inkling that he would flip on trip, he would have chosen some sort of cooperative deal. One source i said there wouldnt be any flipping because he has nothing to offer. He has no dime to drop on the president. So this Michael Cohen part of this whole investigation could well end within the next half hour when we learn details of the Plea Agreement and we find out exactly what his fate is going to be. At this point, looks like Michael Cohen wont be a witness for Robert Mueller. Shepard thanks, john. That is happening here in New York City. Were expecting that this
proceeding will begin 30 minutes from now and well have live coverage from lower manhattan. Lets go to a. B. Stoddard at real clear politics. Your take on this, a. B. Well, i agree with much of what john roberts is reporting except that in assessing how this is potentially linked and connected to President Trump, well have to hear what he actually pleads guilty to today. He obviously is in trouble for some financial crimes. If theres Campaign Finance violations that have to do with Stormy Daniels or Karen Mcdougal on payoffs connected to President Trump that links a crime to President Trump, we also dont know what although this is a case of the Southern District of new york involving misdeeds, we dont know what the Mueller Probe could uncover from
this investigation and these pleadings that might speak to other issues connected to russia. Michael cohen was involved with the trump organization. He was involved with deals that the trump family made. We dont know yet what is going to be revealed to investigators if not probably from Michael Cohens guilty pleas. Shepard Maggie Haberman from the New York Times reports that this agreement to plead guilty involves at least in part payments by Michael Cohen on behalf of President Trump to Stormy Daniels and possibly others. Right. This is the known direct link. That he was the fixer, that he likely did this in order to hide these revelations before the election in order to stave off some kind of political harm for President Trump and President Trump has not told the truth about whether he knew or didnt know. He said he didnt know about the payments and rudy guliani went
on fox and told sean hannity that he did know. Theres a lot of confusion about that. What im talking about with these other things, Michael Cohen this does not preclude him from telling Robert Mueller as he said six weeks ago, he might. Not that hes a credible witness in every case here. But that the president was aware of the trump tower meeting before it took place. So just because hes not making a soup to nuts agreement that gets him out of prison time doesnt mean that in some way the overlapping and connections to President Trump and exposure to President Trump ends with the payment to Stormy Daniels. Shepard thanks, a. B. Thank you. Shepard live coverage, top of the hour on Fox News Channel as the Court Proceedings begin. Well learn then the details in the Manafort Case. First, the same group of russian
hackers that meddled in the election in 2016, about that were certain. That same group is now trying to do it again before the midterms. That is the word not from the government, but from microsoft which reports that it uncovered the latest hacking attempts. The latest target, the u. S. Senate and conservative think tanks that have criticized President Trump and called for sanctions on russia. No big surprise. The claims are called unfounded by Vladimir Putin and its unclear who the hackers are. Its not unclear. Microsoft president says theres no doubt, none at all, that it is the same group associated with the russian government that hacked the Clinton Campaign and the dnc. This all comes weeks after the democratic senator Claire Mccaskill of missouri revealed that Russian Hackers tried to break into her Senate Computer network. Shes running for reelection in a red state. Susan lee is here. Were told this would happen and alas, it has. Microsoft has discovered six fake web pages that were meant to mimic conservative institutions even the u. S. Senate. How the scam worked, you were sent emails to your inbox. You click through them thinking theyre from legitimate institutions like the Republican International institute. You were redirected to fake web pages. The hackers use your Security Codes to get to other sources. We asked about this. I think the smart thing for us to conclude as a nation is that everyone across the political spectrum is vulnerable and potential target of attack. We need to put aside enough of our differences to come together to do what it takes to defend the democratic process in this
country. Microsoft has shut down 84 accounts the past few years. Earlier this summer, facebook said they shut down 32 pages on instagram and facebook. They said they were fake and meant to basically divide the nation on progressive issues. Technology companies, as they have been warned since were three months away from the midterms, they need to be vigilant and on alert for russian interference in the vote. Shepard as i mentioned, microsofts president said theres no doubt. No doubt. The kremlin denies this. Shepard okay. The National Security adviser, john bolton is again saying yes russia could be one of the countries. Watch out for north korea, china, iran to meddle in the midterms with under three months to go. All those security and intelligence Officials Say they have seen no hints of any other countries possibly trying to meddle. Shepard thanks, susan. While we wait for developments on the Michael Cohen plea deal, were watching big news, including ending to the search for Molly Tibbets. Bob tibbets tells fox news that investigators have found his daughters body. We dont know of what she died. A truck marked State Medical Examiner driving passed an official road black earlier today near her hometown of brooklyn where she vanished. Its about an hours drive east of des moines. Molly was out for a routine run. Molly tibbets boyfriend Molly Tibbets was dog sitting for her boyfriend. He said he heard from her that same night when she sent him a snap chat message. Then no sign for more than a month. Investigators launched a search
effort involving dozens of officials from local departments all the way up to the fbi. They search nearby ponds, farms and homes and interviewed hundreds of people were told. Mollys father and mollys boyfriend talked with us here on fox news many times pleading for anybody with any information to come forward. Investigators set up a couple of scheduled to give a News Conference matter at 5 00 eastern time, so less than 1 1 2 hours from now. Matt finn has been covering the case and hes live outside of brooklyn, iowa where she was last seen alive. Matt . Shep, right now the swarm of activity is ongoing in the rural area, about 13 miles away from brooklyn, iowa. Thats where the medical examiners truck was spotted. Fox news has a crew there where weve seen a csi car recently leave the area. We cannot confirm if this is where her body was found but seems related to the discovery of her body. We cannot confirmed the nature of mollys death, this area does not come as a surprise to us. Its close to the farmers house that we saw questioned by the fbi three times. The farmer tells fox news that he took a polygraph and so far he remains a free man. No suspects named publicly. Were not aware of any arrests. But right now, investigators are back out in that rural area where we were many times. Weve wondered why investigators returned to the area. Maybe her phone or fit bit pinged in the area. Rob tibbets just returned to california a few days ago after being on the ground here a full month. He did many interviews with us. He did as many interviews as possible because he wanted his
daughters name to remain on peoples mind. He and mollys boyfriend went to the Iowa State Fair looking for information. The father just returned to california. Now you can imagine hes on his way back. Molly tibbets mother just changed jobs and start add new job. And dalton jack, her boyfriend, was likely scheduled to return to work today. Shep . Shepard matt, local Crimestoppers Group with others involved have posted or offered a reward of close to 400,000 and they still plan to put it to use. Is that right . Yes. Crimestoppers say they want to use the 400,000 for any arrest or conviction of a person involved. They would have to ask the majority of the donors is thats where they want to money to be used. Shep. Shepard well wait for that News Conference on fox news. A judge in colorado is denying
bail for a man accused of killing his pregnant wife and their two children. Christopher watts in court today and for the first time he did not enter a plea. Investigators say the man confessed to strangling his wife. But he claims she had already killed the children after he told her he wanted a separation. He claims he saw her strangling one of their daughters on a baby monitor. In a range, he strangled his wife. That happened in frederic, colorado,25 miles north of denver. Authorities tell a different story. Police say watts was having an affair with a coworker. Investigators say they found all three bodies on the property of an oil company where watts worked. His wife, buried in a shallow grave, his 3yearold daughter celeste and bella submerged in
crude oil. I am shananns dad. This is her big brother. Wed like to thank all the agencies for working so hard to find my daughter, granddaughters. Thank you for coming out to the Candlelight Vigil and saying all of your prayers. Theyre greatly appreciated. Keep them coming for our family. Shepard he mentioned his two daughters and niko. Thats the name that they were planning to give to their unborn child. We have late word that the plane carrying 16 passengers that took off from teterboro and lost a couple of wheels or couple tires blown is about to land. But flight air traffic control

Shepard earlier, we reported prosecutors in pennsylvania were announcing the first charges against a Catholic Priest after a Bomb Shell Report came out last wike. The District Attorney says the charges announced are an separate investigation and not related to the grand jury report. Laura engle has more. The charges are against a 30yearold roman Catholic Priest detailing his alleged actions with an unnamed
17yearold female. They called her jane doe. It included the use of snap chat and social media apps. Martin says during the period of December 2017 to january 2018, this man electronically communicated with jane doe, many messages sexual in nature and he was sending nude photos of himself through snap chat. This is the first time charges have been issued sense the diamond was issued last week. This was not what we were reporting on the explosive grand jury case which listed 301 priests accused of sexual assault. Kevin lonergan has been charged with a felony, which could bring him up to seven years in prison and one count of Indecent Assault if hes prosecuted. Well continue to find out more. Shepard thanks. Were following the developing news in stewart, new york where now we have live pictures. This is the scene at the airport there where this plane that has been circling now for about five hours burning off foul containing rapper and others, post malone. Were expecting it will land in the next few minutes. The original report is the two front tires had blown, two tires on the left, two tires on the right. Now it seems that they were passing over another airport out in southern, connecticut and that the flyby indicated it may have been the two tires under the left wing. So the information is a bit sketchy. Its on final approach. That appears certain on what is a very long runway with the Emergency Facilities necessary to take care of this sort of

And at the end of the night, post malone and 21 savage and aerosmith had a wild finish to the vmas last night if you stayed up for that. But it was quite a thing. He got a lot of face time last night. Really one of the most popular guys out there. In fact, his song, which the album has been a top of the billboard r b and Hip Hop Charts for 76 weeks, which breaks a
record that was set by Michael Jackson back in the day for thriller to say hes popular these days is an understatement. They were headed over to london. He and band and pals and others for a series of concerts in an around london and were going to land at a Municipal Airport over there. But instead, for five hours, they circled around Northern New Jersey for an hour or so when they thought they might land at teterboro. They decided to go to an airport in massachusetts where gulfstream has a Service Center and about an 8,000 foot runway there. They circled over long island and the sound and connecticut for a couple of hours. And then they made the decision to go instead to stewart, which is this Orange County airport where you see it now. Stewart has a 12,000 foot runway and facilities. The air fort sent out some of their equipment to help. Thank goodness, the jet landed
without incident. I felt like what we were hearing at 50 minutes past 3 00 here on the east coast was a roar after the plane landed without incident.
