Shepard fir from fox at 3 00 in new york city. The mob trial of Whitey Bulger, and the case moves to the defense now. Lawyers for the accused mob boss said, yes, he ran a criminal enterprise for decades. Still they say he did not take part in any of the 19 murders with which he is charged. For now we do not know whether Whitey Bulger himself will take the stan. The prosecution called 63 witnesses, many of whom painted a colorful picture of life in bulgers gang in south boston. This month, one associate testified that Whitey Bulger wore a wig and fake mustache to a double murder in 1982, driving a car that could spit smoke or an oil slick to help him get away.

The lawyer for his exwife says his family believes his death is not related toothily the trial but that it is not confirmed, and witnesses claim that white bulger sent tips to the fbi, and a foreigner supervisor denied he was ever an informant.

For unity. Weve just finished a long and bruising political campaign. Emotions are raw. And tensions just dont feel overnight. It doesnt go quickly unfortunately. But we have before us the chance now to make history together. To bring real chance to washington. Real safety to our cities. And real prosperity to our communities. As a country, we just emerged from a noisy passionate and sometimes Divisive Campaign season. Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter our differences, were still one people. Part of something bigger than ourselves. We are communities that move forward together. Were neighbors. We look out for one another.

Erupted when news broke that castro had died on friday at the age of 90. Many there say castros death will close a dark chapter in cubas history. The mood in cubas capital is quiet and somber as people there worry about what might happen next. Were getting reaction from president obama and president elect trump. Trump says while cuba remains a totalitarian island, it is his hope for a future in which the wonderful cuban people live in the freedom they richly deserve. From president obama, during my presidency we worked hard to put the past behind us. The relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things we shared as neighbors and friends, bonds of family, culture, commerce, and common humanity.

Spending the holiday at his palm beach estate one day after nominating two women for his cabinet, one of those selections, drawing heavy criticism this morning. R but we begin with a new report thats raising eyebrows over the president elect, the Washington Post reporting today that trump has mostly shunned the daily Intelligence Briefings, only twice setting about the time to learn about Global Developments and security concerns. Cnns Jason Carroll is at trumps palm beach estate maralago with more. Hi, jason. Good morning, kierl. The Washington Post article basically saying as you said that donald trump, the president elect, has only received two security briefings. Thats versus mike pence, who is basically been receiving briefings nearly every single day since becoming Vice President elect. The article also pointing out that this is not unprecedented. That even though other president s have taken more security briefings at this point, than donald trump, that it is, again, not unprece
