for banning him. joined by first amendment scholar, we ll talk about whether he s likely to get thrown out of court or perhaps laughed at. a lot happening tonight. we begin with the assassination of haiti s president. it would be a shattering development. haiti as you know and as we ve reported has had more of its share of misfortune, whether from poverty, political violence and it seems intrigue. footage from moments around the killing. you ll not see any images on the clips that we re about to play you. the frame is black. what you ll hear is certainly raising questions. we ve edited the same passage together several times of someone claiming to be from the american dea, the drug enforcement agency, so you can hear more clearly what s being said. everybody back up, stand down. everybody stand down. dea operations, everybody back up, stand down. dea operations, everybody stand down. dea operations, everybody back up, stand down. so, again, we repeated that so you could
