The Associated Press is reporting that the Racine County sheriff says theres multiple victims. Their condition can unknown. A photographer that said he witnessed this crash reports a semi truck jumped the median on i94 near highway 20 around 11 00 a. M.

Theres already congestion and massive amounts of construction in this area because of the fox con development. Lanes are narrow with no shoulders. The department of transportation says theres no estimate of when this highway will reopen. A major investigation. Well keep you updated. Matt finn in chicago. Thank you. Were watching both of those. Meantime, hope hicks on capitol hill today. She met with the house judiciary committee. Democrats say president trumps former Communications Director and confident is not answering questions about her time in the white house. Hope hicks left the Administration Last year and is currently the executive Vice President and chief Communications Officer for fox corporation. That is the Parent Company of this network. This is the first time lawmakers are hearing from someone linked to the president s inner circle since the release of the redacted Mueller Report. Hope hicks was there for key moments in the russia investigation including firing of james comey and the trump tower meeting between top Campaign Officials and a russian lawyer offering dirt on hillary clinton. Hope hicks name appears 184 times in the Mueller Report to mueller, she described after she gave a false statements claiming there were no contacts with a Foreign Campaign and entities, hope hicks asked other Campaign Officials whether the statement was true. She previously testified on capitol hill in private and in doing so admitted she told white lies for the president but not about matters of substance. She said the former aide is immune from testifying about working in the Trump Administration. But the president has not exerted executive privilege and some democrats are calling her refusal to answer questions obstruction of justice. Catherine herridge reporting live from washington. Catherine . Shep, hicks is still behind closed doors. Theyre going to about the fourth hour of testimony as part of this transcribed interview. Late last night, the white House Counsel put the democrats on notice that there were some areas that would be off limits, that the scope of the interview would be limited. They cited constitutional immunity and potential implications for executive privilege. The white House Counsels letter reads in party, the department of justice has advised me that mrs. Hicks is immune from compelled congressional testimony with respect to matters during her service as a Senior Adviser with the president. Democrats are not satisfied and we heard from them. Im watching obstruction of justice in action. You have the white house asserting immunity, which is not a thing. Doesnt exist. You have to ask the question what are they trying to hide from the American People . Its an ongoing effort to prevent the American People from knowing the full truth. Democrats said they wanted information about five events of alleged obstruction. Among them, the firing of director comey in may of 2017, whether the original rationale was the clinton email investigation and handling of the investigation or whether it had to do with russia. Then also the termination of the former National Security adviser, mike flynn, shep. Shepard catherine, republicans say the democrats complaint are without merit. They point to this letter from the white House Counsel last night. They say look, when you have a president ial aide, the whole idea behind executive privilege is that the president has to have a mechanism to shield his communications so that he can have honest deliberations when hes making decisionmaking in the white house. So they say it applies in this case and also accuse democrats of not being happy with the findings of the special counsel investigation. Heres the chairman ranking member, dot collins. This is another time that they can get a press release, that the democrats continue to try to relitigate the mueller investigation. The democrats are trying to relitigate the entire mueller investigation. So thats what they have hope hicks there for. Theres been nothing of real substance other than reference to Mueller Report. What we anticipate from the committee, shep, once the interview is complete, there will be some kind of review. Theyre promising reporters it will be released within 48 hours. So everybody can decide from themselves whether any refusal to answer questions is based on a legitimate request by the white house or whether as the democrats say it amounts to obstruction, shep. Shepard theyre claiming executive privilege but the president has not exerted executive privilege. Theyre saying implications of executive privilege, if you look at the letter closely. Dont go as far as executive privilege. But they cite implications over the transition period. My understand of executive privilege, it is or it isnt. But you have to exert it or it isnt. Thats for the lawyers, right . Thats what theyre arguing about tonight. Shepard that is for the lawyers. Thanks so much. Can you put a price on suffering in on enslaving people .

Authorities confirmed theres no explosives but there are believed to be Hazardous Materials. The area is still shut down. Authorities are still investigating. Updates as promised as they come in. Reparations for slavery. Should the United States government pay for enslaving human beings in and the decades of segregation that followed . A house hearing on that matter exploded today on capitol hill. The first of its kind in more than a decade. One of the witnesses, a writer for the online publication, coleman hughes. He said americas failure to pay reparations to slaves when they were freed is a great injustice of the nation. That said, he slammed reparations now as a moral and political mistake. Its not contingent on ancestry. It never expires and cant be paid off. Bill hr 40 is a political and moral mistake. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Hughes. Chill, chill, chill. He was presumptive but still has a right to speak. Cory booker of new jersey said that he supports the payment of reparations. We as a nation must address this persistent and inequalities or we will never fully achieve the strength and the possibility. Hope is the active conviction that despair will not have the last word. I believe that right now today we have a historic opportunity to break the silence, to speak to the ugly past and talk constructively about how we will move this nation forward. Shepard the hearing was wellattended. Visitors lined up outside the hearing room on capitol hill. One woman told an Associated Press writer that she waited two hours to get inside. Opponents say its not fair to hold americans responsible today for what their ancestors did 150 years ago. Ellison barber reporting live. Ellison . Shepard, cheers and boos. A lot of different opinions here. Supporters discussed hr 40 say the difference of opinion is why this legislation needs to pass so americans can have the discussion in a serious way. Supporters of the bill say the critics are misinterpreting what the legislation does. It calls for the establishment of a commission to look at the issue of slavery and reparations. It does not call for reparations and does not have a specific dollar figure. Some opponents say while slavery was wrong, the people that supported it and the people impacted by it are no longer alive. Supporters say the effects of slavery, the systematic racism kept going long after emancipation. Listen to those arguments. The people that are owed for slavery are not longer here. Were not entitled to collect on their debts. Reparations by definition are given to victims. The moment you give me reparations, youve made me into a victim without my consent. The redlining of chicago and the looting of black homeowners, victims of the plunder are alive today. Scholars look at this issue of having 3 components. Acknowledgement resolution and reconciliation. The commission this bill would establish would look at all of it. House majority leader steny hoyer he believes hr 40 will get a floor vote out of committee. Even if it passes the house, the legislation would likely die in the senate. Mitch mcconnell says he does not support reparations. Shepard thank you. Lets go to aaron haynes hack now. She writes about race and ethnicity for the Associated Press and was inside todays hearing. Thank you. Thank you, shep. How are you . Shepard im great. What stood out to you as the biggest moment . Id have to say probably writer coats taking on Mitch Mcconnells comments from yesterday saying we dont know who we would pay for reparations and dont know how that would work, dont know no one is alive today is responsible for reparations. To that, coates pushed back and said if you think about the folks that lived through jim crow segregation, the brutality and oppression of that area, a lot of people are with us today. That could be a good start. Even suggested that maybe some of the victims of that era would be happy to speak to the majority leader and share their experiences if hes wondering who may be could benefit from reparations in america today. Shepard new yorkers read of segregated schools in our School Systems here in the largest city in the country today. Was any of that discussed . That was discussed some. You have people on both sides of the issue saying there should be more of a focus on the current Racial Disparities that are affecting black americans living right now, issues varying from education, mass incarceration, the continued housing discrimination, the Ongoing Health and income gap in america are a few things that could be addressed. Not necessarily reparations but other legislative policies that could impact black americans. Shepard from your reporting today, did you get a sense of those in charge that this bill would make it to the floor and might receive a vote . I heard from ellison that it was said it would. Is that a reality . I think that Congress WomanSheila Jackson lee out of texas that is sponsoring the bill after former congressman john conyers first sponsored it in 1989 and sponsored it until he resigned from congress in 2017, she seems to think this is a moment before the issue of reparations, which was a fringe issue in this country but is in the 2020 president ial conversation and is in the halls of congress for the First Time Since 2007. So the speakers in support of a commission to study reparations, which is House Resolution 40 is calling for are saying that they really feel that this is a historic and urgent moment whose time is overdue to reckon with americans original sin of slavery. Shepard representative jackson lee said this is not a symbolic action, which so many people have taken it to be but a real matter of urgency, at least from the democratic party. Absolutely. She noted that because in particular this hearing was held today on juneteenth, which is a cultural holiday celebrated by many African Americans that commemorate the emancipation of enslaved black people in this country. So while she certainly appreciated this hearing was taking place on juneteenth, she wanted people to know that this is not the last folks could expect to hear. Errin haynes whack, thank you. Thanks for having me. Shepard if i asked you to name jobs that required physical strength, what would come to mind . Firefighters, hauling gear up a flight of stairs, sanitation workers. How about Airline Pilots . Ahead, why boeing executives are reportedly concerned that some pilots may not have the strength to perform a job in an emergency. Value. Thank you, admiral.
