Trumps truske to you Transition Team hes officiallys announced his pick for who he wh wants to be the nations nextnx secretary of state. State Rex Tillerson is the man heson m wants for the job. Tillerson is the chairman ceo oo exxon mobil. Trumps nominatio approve by congress. Con tillerson could face uphille upl battle on capitol hill, though,g lawmakers on both sides of the o aisle are concerned about his close business ties with russiaa and russian president vladimir a putin. Putin. In a statement trump says tillersons tenacity his broad d experience and deepnd dee understanding of geo politicsndn make him ang excellent choice e secretary of state. Secretary ofe he will promote regional regiona stability and focus on the coree National Security interests of the united states. Tes. Trump also on the verge of vergo picking former Texas Governor gr rick perry as energy secretary. A hes met with trump at least atl twice in recent days to discusss a position in the administration. Energy is one of the ener spoke ofperry eliminating during his failedd president ial bid back in 2011 i1 but he cannot remember themembhe agencys name. My question and its obvious question and is, why would you u name a person who wants to abolish the department as thehe departments head . Hea i think were seeing that wen with who he named for epa. I think also Climate Change denier. En i dont know. I guess in mine perhaps p these are people who he feelspe are the best for tophe job at a least thats what im coming take away from these positionsen but my biggest concern thoughhoh wafery with Rex Tillerson that the position im most concernedo with. If you have ties to russia and this is to me theres so mann conflicts here and i get there e youre a businessman you mightmg have done deals with themhe before. Be this is about National Securityy and our nation and im wonderini does this make sense . At sometm point doesnt someone say, holdl on minute here. Ere these ties these too close ce ties. Ties we need to pull the brakes ahe a little and see that there is nos conflict here really beforee proceeding. I think this is what congress has to look at too. His at too right. You dont want somebody whoo just has relations with one w nation because this is aon bec t position where you are being ambassador to the world. Wld right. Youre dealing with this countryrs relations with theeh entire world. Entire world so i think thats where it willt get very interesting when it whe comes to congress right now. Not just with tillerson buton really any of these people whoe have been nominate to do theseoe positions to s h going to take and who is going g to bring up one ago mentation. Tn is it going to cross the aisless as far as questions that are ous there like we saw during thetika campaiw gn not everybody in the gop was on board with donalddona trump was saying. S a person who has business to me yes, youre making money for company, but this this to me is clear conflict. Cflic because youve made money. E mony you cannot tell me that tha somewhere along the leap the lines werent blurred there winw the business deals. Ea. Now youre having in those are some of the same te questions they have with thes Clinton Foundation in deals. Thfi those were then deals same kindo concerns deals that were beingeg made. Ma i feel like whoever donald trump picks right now theres going tg be concerns about. Rn there is. S i think that what we arewhat seeing a lot with him, hes trying very hard to do anti establishment. Blent. But is he really . B is well, none of these people tp have political experience. Xperic these are not the people that t or great love for the agencye that they are looking to head. None of them are insiders ana his whole campaign was im anm outsider were going to shake s the problem the challenges cl with the unnope even if you hado the quote unquote conflict offlf interest in the past, thats okay. Ok umhmm. But if you have it looking forward now it isf ayou proba me once youre in that position of power you can no longer have that. The question is are people going to trust these people changee behaviors that they had in thet past . Thats where i think the big question. Io make whatever choice you wanw but as long as checks andck balances are maintained, imntni fine with that. H tha youre doing things in thengs interest of the country moveoe right ahead w that line isine is crossed you got to cut it off. Tt all righty. Well today the man accusedon of shooting Assault Rifle inside comet pingpong will head backwa to court. Edgar Madison Welch facing fac muddle pep charges. Fox5s bob barnard standing bynb with the latest. He latt. Bob. Reporter this hearing gets under way shortr ly.

Ninease goes back on that sunday more than a week ago when welch allegedly droveed up from his home in salsbury, sr north carolina, to investigatege those fake news reports thatha Hillary Clinton was involved in some kind of child sex slave s sting operation running out of comet pingpong there inn northwest dc near the chevyhevy chase circle. When welch went in there here didnt find anything but heind h fired off a gun, and customers e and employees went running. Ni he was arrested there right outt on connecticut avenue righte rih afterward, and hes been held in custody since then. T the hearing today is tois to determine whether he can be released pending his trial and go back home to north carolina. N he has two daughters there. T his parents say what may havemav set him off was a car accident d that he was involved in. D he struck a pedestrian with hiss car back in october, guys, a teenager, and that that may havh set this whole thing off. Ng off hes in court right now, and n well let you know how thist yow things turns out. Bob, thanks. In the meantime all eyes this morning on the silveher lin Dulles Airport and loudounun county. Special guest is ride the rails this morning virginia senator st tim kaine and right now hes h with wmau transportationrtation reporter and fox5 contributoront martin dicaro. Good morning, gentlemen. Gentlem marty, well let you take itk i away and tell us whats what happening. Reporter senator, why didhyd you request a tour of phase twoa of silver Line Construction . Well, look, the region doesnt work without metro and a wanted to talk to paul and theln other metro team. T see how silver line is doing, ridership looking at some of thf construction thats happeningnig here in the corridors, reallyll Interesting Development going on. On the Public Transit with greatre urban development but i alsont t want to look at the phase two pe construction which is about hall complete to kind of see thef e t progress of it, talk both to metro and the wmua on the airport authorities about how the progress is going and are ae there things i can do to beo tob helpful. Were on our way to Wiehle Reston east the last stop phase one. O phase two under construction. Unr 6 billion to build we have thii issue of thou op it or fun thert operations of it. F general manager Paul Wiedefeldfe standing here. G h he and other metro leade probably Like Congress tos contribute to metros operatingi budget to help Fund Projects ke thihis. Well, look, you know. W. Construction has been throughroh dedicated federal loans, state money, um, the transportation corridor special tax ax lots of pots of money. Ots ofy lots of pots of money. S of my so the whole question ofn o congressional involvement andnt keeping metro up and runningng thats every year question. Ue i frankly wish that we had donen appropriations bill this year that would have made it a little bit easier for these guys to do the couldnt resolutions througt april but im going to hopefully continue to be a battler foror metro funding as i was when in i was governor. Good luck because in congresc the next administration seems unlikely that you saw Paul Wiedefeld in the questioning why marty is noting talking to him apparently he did not want to be parimt o af thatt interview so he was still theree with senator tim kaine and martr dicaro apparently paul wiedefele declined our request to talkst o with him. Our signal issues also a wreaking havoc there. Sorry about that. He can have said yes and ited would have been on us becauseeee that tran mission issue. Ra were tracking metron again. Gan still no definitive answers as a to why the two lead cars of red line train decoupled comingg apart from the rest of the trait as it left the twin brookswin station yesterday. Statio this involved new 7,000 seriesee rs. S. Newest in metros fleet. Et fewer than 40 passengers were oe the entire train and only two ow were on the cars that separatedt they had to walk, though, the tt track bed for about 250 feet 25e before getting back to the platform.
