3:10 am
the death nearly 20 years ago let's cross over to mike hanna who has the very latest and it seems that the president is reacting to well at least the 1st of the truth of the tweets. well indeed president trump has tweeted within the last few minutes that twitter is now interfering in the 2020 election he says in a follow up tweet he adds that twitter is eroding your silly saying that his claims about mail in voting are incorrect and he says style that it is stifling free speech and he continues and as president. i will not allow that so certainly a very strong attack on twitter which earlier in the day had put fact checking labels on 2 of his tweets dealing with mail in voting twitter described these as incorrect and put a lead in a reference to news reports on mail in voting pointing out that it is not as the
3:11 am
president claims fraudulent so certainly this spat between president trump and the forum of twitter is continuing to rage on indeed of course sort of continues in the propagation of a murder conspiracy theory that seems to have no basis in fact at all and that's getting him in hot water again with the with the family of the deceased. well indeed yes the stills with a woman called laura died some 1000 years ago after the medical examiner found that she had an undiagnosed heart condition that she fell over and hit her head now she was an employee at the time of joe scarborough he was then a florida congressman he is now a talk show host who has been very critical of president trump in recent months now president trump lashed out at joe scarborough implying that he was guilty of murder

3:21 am
found i think what millions of others found very disturbing but there were police officers around that situation that didn't advise their colleague to let up to give the the the member of the public. the chance to actually breathe are you surprised that the he took no notice of his colleagues after you know i'm not sure. that why all 4 our producers were fired i have no doubts about that what lessons have been left through who saw him down and the other 3 who get nothing what lessons have been learned. since you might say the death of for example steven clark who was who was shot with a phone in his hand mistaken for
