fight. her fight is not over regardless of what happens on tuesday. it is literally a vote to help save the republic. here i have a one bedroom and i pay $800 a month. americans leaving pricey u.s. cities heading south to work from home in mexico city. it is tuesday, august 16, 9:00 a.m. here in london, 4:00 a.m. in washington where the u.s. justice department is making clear just how serious they are about the criminal investigation of donald trump and the search of his florida home. they are now opposing the release of an affidavit used to get the search warrant for the mar-a-lago despite growing calls for more information. evan perez has the details from washington. reporter: justice department says releasing more information about the investigation that led to the search of donald trump s florida home would put the probe and possibly highly classified information at risk. the department made the statement in a court filing opposing efforts by the news media incl
