Ron, we just got this case, i believe, the end of last week, right . When do we expect the verdict actually be read sometimes i know the judge will give time for family members, et cetera, to get to the courthouse reporter exactly we saw the defense team come in about 10 minutes ago, so unsure of exactly what the timing is in the courthouse the jury has been deliberating for about nine hours four hours friday and they continued this morning seven men, five women. We dont know what theyve been deliberating because its been happening behind closed doors. We only heard a video feed of the jury, and its not a trial where you can actually sit in the courtroom. He faces nine counts, including ra racketeering and sex trafficking charges that could land him in jail for about nine years if he is guilty of all of this it says r. Kelly was running a criminal enterprise, sort of like a mob boss. It was not about his music and his brand, it was always about his own sexual gratification, about recru
Over the past few weeks, jane and i, in consultation with top staff and many of our prominent supporters, have made an honest assessment of the prospects for victory. If i believe that we had a feasible path to the nomination, i would certainly continue the campaign. But its just not there. Bernie sanders acknowledging the reality of the situation. Kasie hunt spent much of 2016 as our Bernie Sanders correspondent. Now our capitol hill correspondent. But kaycie, this was inevident i believe in ways but still a significant moment. The virus played a big role in this. The fact that its april and the democrats have their presumptive nominee, boy, its already a better position for joe biden than Hillary Clinton was in, in the same position four years ago. Its dramatically different, chuck. Its important to take a moment to recognize that Bernie Sanders really did change the contours of the president ial race throughout and the conversation that the country is having from a policy perspectiv
These crises, pressure brings out the best and the worst in people. I believe that, individually. You get to really see how a person responds at a time of crisis. You get a little snapshot of their character and of their foundation. Its also true of the collective, also true of society. And when i say we have to move to help western new york, yeah, there will be some places in the state where you hear a voice that says no, no, no, we have to worry about ourselves. We have to take care of us and theyre on their own the way were on our own. Not in new york. Thats not how we operate. Nobody is on their own. We are one state, we are one family, we are one community, and were there to help one another. So whatever erie county needs, whatever western new york needs, you have my word that the rest of the state will be responsive. Hopefully were on this plateau, and on the other side of the plateau is a descent. So we can manage it. I know its a granular topic, but its important. Were also goi
Close to 82,000. The number of coronavirus cases is nearly 1. 4 million. On monday, the president claimed victory in terms of access to testing, a key aspect in reopening the country safely. He also repeated the claim that anyone that needs a test can get one. That claim is not true. In terms of sheer numbers, the United States tested 400,000 people yesterday. That is far short of the 5 million daily tests that the president predicted six weeks ago. He said 5 million tests, were getting 400,000. The president also claimed that the number of cases are, quote, coming down rapidly all over the country. But that statement from our president is also false. Nbc has obtained an unreleased white house report showing cases spiking in the middle of the heartland of our country, in metro areas like nashville, des moines and amarillo, texas. All of this will play into todays very big hearing. I want to go to Garrett Haake on capitol hill. This is one of the most unusual and consequential hearings
