The president s attorneys Rudy Giuliani and chana ellis firing back with all do respect to the attorney general, there hasnt been the department of justice investigation. We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined. Some of that evidence was brought forward by republican lawmakers at a hearing in michigan today. Allegations that a trunk load of fraudulent ballots was loaded up to a voting center. Can you tell me what you saw come in . It looked like 60 boxes of those ballots. In each one of those leaves or boxes, there could have been hundreds of ballots. So we are thinking may be several thousands, tens of thousands. Im not sure of the exact number. The attorney general dismissed the idea of widespread fraud. Telling the ap, most claims of frauds particularly rise to a particular set of acts or conduct. They are not systemic allegations. In wisconsin the Trump Campaign is alleging more than 221,000 absentee ballots were improperly filed positioning the state Supreme Court to withdraw certification of the Election Results. So far wisconsin Supreme Court has refused to take up any of the Trump Campaigns petition. Senate minority leader suggesting bill barr may be on the endangered species list. I guess he is the next one to be fired that he now too says there is no fraud. Speak with the president s insistence the election was stolen from him has been a powerful fundraiser.

Stephen hahn to this president. But this president will never apologize for putting the fire and of these agencies to say yes, we want a safe vaccine, absolutely. We want a fast one because lives are at stake. In a statement to fox news, resisting the pressure saying let me be clear. Our career scientists have to make the decision, and they will take the time needed to make the right call on this important decision. Next tuesday, President Trump plans to bring together governors, executives from the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacies and shipping services, to get everybody on the same page about vaccine distribution. In some other news with the attorney general today for here at bill barr taking steps to make sure the probe and the origins of the Trump Campaign Russian Investigation dont die on inauguration day. Bill barr appointing john durham to be special counsel, meaning his work will continue well into the next administration. A lot of Trump Supporters expecting the Durham Report to come out before the election but now this provides an extra layer of protection and a biden presents .

Breaking tonight the first indications how the federal government will decide who gets the Coronavirus Vaccine first. When you and your family will be eligible. Senior correspondent laura ingle reports from new york, laura. Good evening. The cdc has been focusing all day long on how they will prioritize who they deem to be the most vulnerable to covid19 exposure, illness and death. And the vote happening just moments ago. 131 vote did approve front line workers and elderly and longterm care facilities as the recommended groups to be the first in line. Now, there are approximately 21 Million Health care workers and roughly 3 million longterm health care for residents in the United States. And while a significant amount of data shared in the meeting today, one thing was made clear on the virtual call, the mission is urgent. And this is a difficult time in the United States. I just noted that since we are averaging one covid death per minute in the United States right now, in the time that to have this i. T. Meeting, 180 people will have died from covid19. So we are acting, i guess, none too soon. With the Cdcs Advisory Committee which is made up of voting members and several other vaccine experts determine the phase 1 group which is hospitals, longterm care facilities, ems and pharmacies with Health Care Workers and Public Health officials will roll up their sleeves first. Now the concerned by the one person who voted no was about the safety of the vaccine for those in longterm care facilities. My concern is that there is less which leads to less and also so i do not feel like the Safety Network for longterm care facilities are Strong Enough yet. I think there is some work that needs to be done. Once the recommendations are sent to cdc director dr. Robert redfield, those recommendations are then going to be sent to states who will eventually be in charge of distributing the vaccine. Aside from fda approval the next benchmark will be this friday. That is the deadline for state to submit their request for doses and where they will be shipped to, bret. Bret laura, thank you. As we told you the top of the program of the cdc will decrease quarantine time following exposure to the coronavirus. This state and local governments across the country are imposing new and tougher restrictions tonight, but in many places the very people ordering citizens to comply with the rules are themselves. Breaking those rules. National correspondent william losh and this from los angeles, good evening, william. Bret patient see after exposure but the cdc is saying they are reducing that 14 day quarantine period to seven days for those who get a negative test or ten days for those who have not been tested at all. As one holiday recedes and another approaches, Health Officials hear the works. Air hospitals can no longer take care of them. On track to exceed 2,200 today higher than last spring. The last resort that we have as local officials is to impose a curfew that will just shut it down. State and local officials are at a loss as the virus accelerates. Speak with the county has their own ideas of right and wrong. Im not in agreement with it. This restaurant defied orders to shut down. Im tired of people telling us what to do. I worry about it, yes, but it does not rule my life. Hypocrisy doesnt help. State protesters outside of the home of l. A. Democratic supervisor sheila who called Outdoor Dining dangerous and voted to ban it. Then went out to eat hours before the ban took effect. I eat here all the time. Democratic mayor Michael Hancock told people to avoid traveling for the holiday and hopped a flight to mississippi. The governors urge people to party like it is new years eve hours before anchorage to close bars and restaurants. There is a message we are getting direction from people that arent really believing in the decisions they are making. Last week the u. S. Recorded 2,000 new cases in a single day. Yesterday 16 states all record hospitalizations. Dr. Anthony fauci expects more. So many states are at the brink of being overrun with regard to their capability of taking care of people in a proper way particularly in intensive care. Now in ohio for cog. O. P. With peace articles monday against republican Governor Mike Dewine for requiring masks imposing some businesses popular to dismiss that effort as a foolish distraction, bret. Bret william, thank you. We are getting our first inperson look at the Biden Administration Economic Team tonight. We are also learning more about the president elects recent injury. Correspondent peter doocy reports from wilmington, delaware. Joe biden showed off his new boot today. And stood on hairline fractures on his foot for the duration of his marks which urged congress to act with a covert relief bill before he moves back to d. C. Passed in a lame duck session is a best but just a start. That would take cooperation with Mitch Mcconnell, but. Mcconnell is not sold on a new bipartisan proposal and biden is staying out of negotiations. Do you support 900 proposals there . I will take a look at it when i come back. A mess of relief packages on the way if treasury secretary janet yellen gets her way. It is an american tragedy. And it is essential that we move with urgency. An action will produce a self reinforcing downturn causing yet more devastation. But first this new Economic Team needs to be confirmed. I hope those outstanding, these outstanding nominees will receive a prompt hearing. Republican leaders will not commit to a vote for Neera Tanden Biden choice for management and budget. Not just a distraction but a reflection of our values. Elizabeth warren did not get the job she wanted treasury secretary but ensuring that her influence is in there for pickford deputy treasury secretary. But i dont know. Senator warren really likes you. Another historic pick biden thinking of shows tunes. We might have to ask Linmanuel Miranda who wrote the musical about the first secretary of treasury will tend to write another musical about the first woman of secretary of treasury janet yellen. That is what im working on right now, janet. The Transition Team tells host attorney general bill barrs big reveal no evidence of widespread fraud to change Election Results just confirms what they have known for weeks that biden won. They have already started naming members to inaugural committee, and we are told they are planning on a Traditional Space inclusive ceremony on the west front of the capital 50 days from now. Bret. Bret peter doocy in wilmington, peter thanks. One of bidens controversial selection so far as his pick for office of management and budget. Correspondent Mark Meredith examines why neera tanden is causing such an uproar on both sides of the valuable. Said director of office of management budget i nominate neera tanden. Neera tanden is no stranger to washington politics. As a former Hillary Clinton advisor in lending for center of American Progress she is well established in democratic circles but also made enemies on capitol hill. You want to make sure this nut job, neera tanden doesnt become the director of the budget in charge of office of management and budget make sure we win in georgia. Senator Lindsey Graham is among those feeling uneasy over forthcoming nomination. Ohio senator questioning her judgment after neera tanden spent years criticizing senator us on twitter. Top democrats are shrugging it off. Honestly the hypocrisy is outstanding. If republicans are concerned about criticism on twitter, thayer complaints are better directed at President Trump. But some democrats outrage with the president elects pick. The press secretary tweeting everything toxic about the Democratic Party is embodied in neera tanden. She has faced alterable controversies before and criticize biden a potential candidate in 2016 and private emails leaked by wikileaks. In 2017 days before President Trumps inauguration, neera tanden responded to trump tweet with pack machines russian has done enough damage to effect 70,000 votes in three states. In 2018, buzzfeed reported she faced criticism over how she handled Sexual Harassment claims within the organization she led. But despite the growing potential scandals, the president elect says he stands by his pick. She believes what i believe my budget should reflect our values. If confirmed neera tanden would be the first woman of color to manage the budget. And growing up on food stamps and Public Housing she is honored to lead a department that those get the funding they need. Bret. Bret mark, thank you. Former Trump Campaign manager Brad Parscale said the decision to remove him from his job was a major blow to the president. He talked with Martha Maccallum for tonights edition of the story. Jarod and i never got sideways on a concept. And i think the worst thing to ever do is to break those two up. That decision will go down if the president loses as the worst decision. Do you believe if you enter it had remained in charge, the president would have one . Im not saying that i think he wins easy. You can see the entire expanded interview tonight 7 00 p. M.

I own a virus aid and a new proposal from the senate but with a handful of days left in this congressional work. Next time is of the essence. Mike emanuel takes a look tonight. Bipartisan lawmakers trying to break gridlock with proposing a covert emergency framework. Designed to provide whole to the First Quarter of next year. It would be stupidity on steroids if Congress Left for christmas without doing an interim package as a bridge. Some key provisions are 160 billion for state, local and tribal governments and major item for democrats. 180 billion for additional unemployment insurance, 288 billion to support Small Businesses, 16 billion for a Vaccine Development and distribution. With many of the constituents hurting, these lawmakers are feeling a sense of urgency. Is it excusable for us to leave town and not have an agreement to come together. I happen to be a deficit hawk but the time to borrow money and only time to borrow money is a crisis and this is a crisis. Like today senator republicans offered a targeted plan. It would extend unemployment assistance, add a second round of paycheck protection loans and provide 105 billion to help get students back to school. Majority leader mcconnell says this focuses on what President Trump is willing to accept and likely attaching it to a must pass government funding extension. The issue is we want to get a result. I like to remind everybody the way you get results, you have to have a president ial signature. Speaker nancy pelosi
