treat victims compared it to those sustained in a war zone. we heard gunshots people thought for five seconds that it was fireworks until people started screaming bodies down, bodies down and everyone started running. there were six people who i saw who were horribly, horribly injured from the gun shot, and the gunshot wounds that these people sustained are like war injuries. i ve never served, but i ve been in the emergency rooms and i ve seen horrific things. the bodies that i saw it was not an image that anyone who is not a physician would have an easy time processing. let s bring in nbc news correspondent rehema ellis who has been covering this story for us. rehema, what is the latest on the ground? the very latest on the ground is they are engaged in an intense man hunt for this suspect. hundreds of officers are blanketing the area trying to find the person responsible for this mayhem. authorities say that local, state and federal authorities are all working toge
donald trump s orbit as the washington post is evidence states that a similar pattern, donald trump and his allies privately shower potential witnesses with flattery and attention, extending big assurances that staying loyal to donald trump would be better than crossing him, eight sentiment echoed by his former attorney, michael cohen. he says he received this behavior before he flipped on his former boss. it is a mob style scenario where you want to make sure these people stay in orbit. if you step out of the orbit, understand there are people that are going to potentially do some pretty bad things to you. you put yourself into that spot. a lot of these actions that came at me, i am sorry to say, i am sure she will experience the same. he wants it that way. i want to bring in ally on capitol hill. a national security analyst, and tim miller is a political analyst and writer at large, the author of the brand-new book, why we did it, a travelogue from the republican road
it is not unusual to have a third party pay for your legal services, it happens every day across the country, family members help out people in trouble. even at the major fortune 100 corporate levels, companies will pay for employees to have an attorney. because the attorney is under scrutiny with regard to something they did with their employment. the mob analogy carried on, the lawyer knows where the paycheck is coming from and even on a subconscious level, the knowledge of who is paying could impact how they represent your individual interest, even at the corporate level. when a company says to you, we will help out with an attorney for you, because we are all under investigation, they have to tell you and give you a letter that says, understand that this attorney is our attorney and not your attorney, we are helping you out but he really needs to represent our interests. the same thing happens with the mama, they provide someone s

the normal measure we use when measure when looking at these things, conflict of interest, do their financial interests everyone a serving the national interest, does that conflict? and obviously, yes. even if it happens on a subconscious level that is something we have to worry about. the example i used is his tenant, the industrial and commercial bank of china, largest bank in the world and state-owned enterprise by the communist government of china. that s a problem. because a lot of our foreign policy clashes with china having the state-owned enterprises. even if he is not trying to enrich himself the fact he has one pull which is how his company would profit and another poll serving the public interest, that s problematic. and it seems to me, one of the things about this, that that example which i hadn t thought of, which is that that bank is a tenant in trump tower, they rent
