i'm erin burnett "outfront" tonight. breaking news president obama. slamming the 47 senators who wrote the letter to the iran supreme leader asking them to renig on the agreement. >> their basic argument to them is don't deal with our president because you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement. that's close to unprecedented. >> according to the senator's letter if president obama signs a deal with iran quote, the next president could revoke such an executive agreement with a stroke of a pen. jim acosta is "outfront" at the white house. jim, the president is firing back. i think pretty aggressively so on the day that the iran talks hit a major road block, too. >> reporter: erin that letter may be having an impact.

they brought of senator tom cotton's letter to the ayatollah and in new material from his interview, the president made it clear he is furious. while iranian and u.s. officials try to make progress in their talks in switzerland, they hit a speed bump. in a letter written by tom cotton signed by 46 of its his colleagues complaining about the nuclear talks. tehran negotiators raised the letter with the officials. >> i'm embarrassed for them because it's not how america does business. >> reporter: in a newly released interview, the president blasted cotton. >> for them to address a letter to the ayatollah, the supreme leader of iran who they claim is

our mortal enemy and their basic argument to them is don't deal with our president because you can't trust him to follow through on an agreement, it's close to unprecedented. >> reporter: despite that tough talk the freshman senator is not standing down. >> the congress is ready to impose much more severe sanctions. >> reporter: but congress is gaining critics. >> like a love-struck teenager he has sent four secret letters to ayatollah. >> reporter: dennis mcdonough sent a letter to bob corker assuring him that congress will have a role to play and will have to take a vote but the white house conceded that they would rather congress stay out of the process for months for a framework agreement. >> for all of the hyperventilating that we see on capitol hill there is no green that has been reached.

>> and press secretary josh earnest said they may want congress to hold off even longer. that is not going to fly with republicans or perhaps even democrats. as for cotton's letter officials are calling it a distraction but one official told me it's not a helpful one and we should keep in mind that cotton went after the white house again after his first speech on the senate floor, he described the talks under way as quote, appeasement. erin? >> obviously a reference to world war ii. thank you jim acosta. john john barrasso is joining me. you were one of the senators that signed the letter. what do you say, senator, to the

american people who think obviously there by a margin of 10 percentage points they think what you did is wrong. >> iran with a nuclear weapon makes america less stable and secure and if they can't deal with a letter things are not as solid as the president says that they are. realistically, this discussion with iran was supposed to be about dismantling their capacity to have a nuclear weapon and instead they are talking now about just delaying the ability of iran to get a nuclear weapon. we were supposed to stop them and instead the president is negotiating a way to manage them. but people all across the country have real concerns about the president's weakness when it comes to foreign relations. we've seen it with a red line in syria. he drew the red line. they used chemical weapons. they did nothing. we've seen him pull troops out of iraq against the opinion of his military leaders and that's what created the opportunity for isis to go in there.

and then with yemen, he said it was a success right up until the point that iran took over yemen. so there are great concerns about this president's capacity at an international level. >> i know there are questions. of course iran has yet to take over yemen and they obviously have been supporting some of the rebel groups there. iran's supreme leader, ayatollah, one of the clerics who you addressed that letter tweeted after you wrote that letter and said, "the team of negotiators appointed by president hassan rouhani but i'm worried because the other side." it isn't normal protocol for senators to send such a letter. are you worried at all, senator, that you gave iran supreme

leader propaganda material perhaps leverage for the deal? >> i think the president ought to be using approval by the united states senate as leverage in the negotiations. president obama ought to be embracing the opportunity for congress to weigh in on this. after all, john kerry has said that congress would. that's where the leverage ought to be. the president ought to welcome this opportunity. plus it would validate and give credibility to what the president has done. instead, the saturday night surprise letter that came from the white house chief of staff to senator corker basically said the president of the united states would rather go to the security council of the united nations than go to the congress of the united states for approval. they don't want to have a vote in congress until after the president leaves the white house. >> and senator, i know you talk about what you refer to as some of the president's weaknesses when it comes to foreign policy. some foreign leaders or potential foreign leaders don't

see it that way. obviously the deal will come down to the prime minuter, whether he wins the re-election tomorrow. if he loses, he loses to isaac herzog who said, "i trust the obama administration to get a good deal." if the possible new prime minister trusts the president, should you? >> well when i was in saudi arabia in january, met with a man who is now king and others and they don't want to see a deal like this. they are ready for a nuclear arms race. and it's not just saudi arabia who wants nuclear weapons. it's also turkey egypt, the emirates because they believe this is a deal that is not dismantling the capacity of iran to get a nuclear weapon but just managing a nuclear armed iran and that's why all of these

other countries are trying to get nuclear weapons as well. we know what iran wants. iran wants the sanctions to go away so they get the additional money that they will use, i believe, for terrorist purposes. they will fund hezbollah, as well as money in yemen. iran is developing an arc of dominance all the way from iran to the mediterranean with what is happening in lebanon as well. >> thank you very much senator barrasso. i want to be sure you all know krn cnn will be releasing new poll results tomorrow on "new day". if netanyahu loses, he will lose to a man named isaac herzog. that seems increasingly possible. so who is this man that i mentioned, isaac herzog who

could become prime minister of america's biggest ally in the middle east? elise labott is "outfront" tonight. >> reporter: isaac herzog said a prayer to fulfill his destiny. he seems an unlikely candidate for prime minister. >> i've always suffered from a certain underestimation. >> reporter: even his high-pitched voice has become a concern in this campaign. something that he has acknowledged when he poked fun of himself in this campaign ad using someone else's voice. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: he comes from political royalty. the israeli version of the kennedys. his grandfather, one of israel's first chief rabbis his uncle, a fierce foreign minister.

benjamin netanyahu falling behind in the polls dismisses him as a lightweight who can't stand up to iran or the palestinians. in a recent campaign ad portraying himself as a baby sitter to herzog. but israeli voters are more focused on security something that netanyahu was not counting on when he made his high-profile speech to congress earlier this month. the group's secret weapon is jeremy bird a former obama campaign strategist who scolded the tactics that helped repel obama to office. netanyahu is calling foul, pointing to a worldwide effort to unseat him. >> there's fatigue. there's a lot of disappointment from benjamin netanyahu. i think his era is over.

>> reporter: herzog said he would reignite peace talks with the palestinians and would work with washington and its allies on a nuclear deal with iran. it's better than the one currently being negotiated. >> because security is not only in the barrel of the gun. security has got much bigger than that. it has to do with regional alliances. clearly, i'm ready for all of this. >> and herzog calls netanyahu's security platform an empty brand, pointing to an iranian nuclear threat stalled peace talks about the palestinians and deepening tensions with washington. he says israel is no safer than when the prime minister took office. herzog says netanyahu has failed and he's calling his bluff. >> it's going to be an incredible day to watch those votes come in. elise labott will be covering that for us. breaking news out of ferguson missouri. new details about the man

. breaking news the man charged in the shooting of two police officers in ferguson is fighting back tonight. his lawyer talking to cnn just moments ago and saying his client jeffrey williams the man you see there, was beaten by police. beaten. his mother says his confession was coerced. ana cabrera is "outfront" and is in missouri. what more did he tell you? >> reporter: his attorney tells me his client was not part of any police ambush. he says he was not a protester and he insists police have the wrong guy. investigators say 20-year-old jeffrey williams admits he opened fire outside the ferguson police department. the shots hit one officer in the face and another in the shoulder. >> he has acknowledged his participation in firing the shots. >> it appears that whatever

statements he made he was without the advice of counsel. >> reporter: does he admit to you he fired shots near the ferguson police department? >> no he does not. and what i want to be clear about is any statements that he made i'm not confident that those were voluntary statements. >> reporter: the arrest happened over the weekend following a public tip. police say they found a .40 caliber gun matching shell casings at the shooting scene. >> i was shocked. i didn't expect it. >> reporter: no? >> no. i didn't think he had anything to do with it. >> reporter: why? >> i didn't know he was a type of person -- well he's real quiet. >> reporter: not many neighbors we spoke to knew williams well but family and friends who declined to go on camera denied to go on camera. his mom's ex-boyfriend says he wasn't an angel but he wasn't violent. he also posted about ferguson on facebook and at one point talked about joining the looters.

he was on probation at the time of the arrest for receiving stolen goods. williams' mother believes that her son was coerced or even beaten into saying he was a gunman. there is an abrasion on his right cheek. >> he said he was bruised by the police when taken into custody. and he was in a lot of pain when he was being questioned. >> reporter: did they beat him? >> yeah. they used a lot of force on him. choked him by the neck a lot of bruising across his back. he has a knot on the back of his head. >> reporter: st. louis county police call the allegations completely false. the st. louis police officer associations says williams was taken into custody using the handcuffs of the injured officers. a 32-year-old from the webster police department and a 14-year-old veteran of st. louis county pd. both have been released from the hospital. witnesses say williams was seen at the protest on wednesday

night outside the ferguson police department and that he was with at least one other person. williams' attorney admits he was there but says williams is not a protester. >> yes, he is a demonstrator. he was out there earlier that evening as part of the demonstration. he's been out there on other occasions as part of the demonstrations. >> as the investigation continues, police are urging anyone with more information and video to come forward. williams is now facing charges, a bunch, actually about half a dozen including first-degree assault as well as firing from a moving vehicle. investigators say it's still early in the investigation so they are urging more people to come forward. his attorney the attorney for williams says he's working to get that bond reduced currently it's set at $300,000 cash only. erin? >> all right. thank you very much, ana cabrera. joining me now, jeff warda with the city of st. louis police

officers association. jeff let me start with you. you just heard ana. she spoke to williams' attorney. he says police arrested the wrong guy. are police sure? are they sure this is the man who shot two police officers or not? >> yeah. i've talked to a lot of people close to this investigation and there's no doubt we have the right guy here. he was able to you know tell them where the gun was. they recovered the gun, matched it ballastically to the scene and we have him behind bars where he belongs. >> ray, williams' attorney says that williams was beat by police. the word he used was a lot of force. this is a williams' booking photo. he was booked into jail. it appears to show an abrasion on his right cheek. his attorney says he has a lot of bruising on his back which you can't see in the picture. they say he was choked by the next.

do you know if police beat williams or coerced him, as his mother says to say that he shot these police officers when he didn't? >> you know i don't know. what i do know is i've seen the police assault people at protests before and we have reason to question the police narratives because they've told untruths before. even the night of the shooting without seeing any evidence he went to the police were ambushed the shooter was embedded in the protest community, things that we know to be untrue. so we question the narrative because we've been lied to before. not true. we're talking about justice. >> so clearly we have a protester, his attorney admits it there's social media hits. >> no his attorney doesn't add mit it. his attorney does not admit that. >> his attorney says he was not a demonstrator. that's what he said. >> you played somebody there who admitted that he was a demonstrator.

a self-admitted looter admits that he's a looter on social media. >> you're being just like belmar using inflammatory language. >> inflammatory? this guy tried to kill two police. he's not a protester? how does he know the guy he pose supposedly has a beef with? >> you'd be in jail for assaulting someone on camera. >> our reporter -- let me interrupt here. his attorney said he was not a demonstrator but deray, our reporter ana there did report that on his facebook page he did talk about joining looters and being a part of some sort of -- i don't know what word you want to use, obviously, but he did talk about being with the looters. >> yeah. there are a lot of questions that we still have that haven't been answered. what we know to be true, though is that the police have started to pedal a narrative that is not true. it's not clear that -- >> the bullets in the police

flesh is pretty good proof that what they are saying is correct. >> no it's not, jeff. >> you have two cops nearly dead because of this guy. that's pretty good evidence that his intentions were bad. >> and remember the protesters' lives were just as at risk as the police at that point. he was not targeting the police. that is not true. mccullough even said that. did you hear that? >> no. they flatly disagree with his accounts. >> that is not true. you don't get to live in a world with your own facts. >> it's a convenient story that i wasn't shooting at the cops i was shooting at another guy in the protest but it's still assault first and a felony and a dangerous act. it did put the peaceful protesters in danger. >> you're pedalling lies. >> why aren't you condemning this? you're supposed to be talking about -- >> what's your reason that you're defending williams? i mean how do you know?

>> i didn't say i'm defending williams. what i'm defending is a narrative untrue. right? so i'm pushing back against a narrative that is untrue. what belmar said is that the shooter was embedded in the protest community and that the shooter ambushed the police things that simply are not true. i don't condone the shooting but i want to get to the facts and it seems like jeffrey was assaulted by the police and that is a problem and that the lawyer is saying that the statements were released without any counsel. again, this is why we are protesting because the police have shown that they are unfeet to lead. belmar's statements were inflammatory and that's not what you want from the police. >> thank you both for your time. there are a lot of questions about what happened that night and whether williams was embedded with or embedded using the cover of protesters. "outfront" next, a real estate millionaire linked to three murders. but it could be more. is he a serial killer?

breaking news tonight on the real estate heir linked to at least three murders. robert durst was caught on tape saying he, quote, killed them all. investigators have found a substantial amount of cash and marijuana in durst's hotel room in new orleans where he was just arrested. he's in custody tonight charged with the execution-style murder of his friend and admitted to killing a neighbor and dismembering his body. he happened to be acquitted of those charges. he was arrested as he was airing an hbo documentary. his confession aired last night.

>> i killed them all, of course. >> the reason you see that empty room and hear him talking, he was actually in the bathroom. his microphone though was still recording. so will durst's words finally convict him? jean casarez begins our coverage "outfront." >> reporter: following an extradition hearing in a criminal court, his defense team came out swinging. >> bob durst didn't kill susan berman. >> reporter: he's now the subject of a popular hbo documentary and was arrested saturday night at a downtown new orleans hotel for the slaying of his good friend and confidant, crime writer susan berman. before the hearing began, he was in a glass enclosure. he would stare at the gallery and appear to even sleep, leaning back in his chair.

when he was taken out of the glass room, he immediately looked at the gallery and just smiled. berman was found shot dead in her home in 2000. police were planning to question her about the 1982 disappearance of durst's wife which remains unsolved. the murder charges coincide with the airing of the final episode of the hbo series entitled "the jinx." the revelations include the confrontation with the now 71-year-old after uncovering a letter written by the millary to susan berman. the handwriting and spelling of her address similar to a letter telling them where to find her body. he denies he wrote it. but the biggest bombshell came at the show's conclusion when durst went into a bathroom still miked after being questioned about the murders. here he can be heard talking to

himself. >> killed them all, of course. >> reporter: an admission to murder or a sarcastic editorial by durst? on "good morning america," producer/director said at least two years went by before they discovered that bathroom recording. >> how is that possible? >> well, the fact is it's a small documentary crew and we were all working very hard. >> reporter: he was acquitted in galveston, texas, in the murder of his neighbor morris black, claiming self-defense. though he admitted cutting up the body and throwing it away. but now durst is facing murder charges again and awaiting extradition to los angeles. >> we're frustrated because the local authorities are considering filing charges on him here and holding him here. we're ready to go to california and have a trial.

>> reporter: and cnn is learning right now the los angeles county district attorney's office has just filed murder charges against robert durst. so that changes everything because once murder charges are filed, you have got to constitutionally appear before a judge to face those charges. and erin, the question is, when will he be extradicted because local authorities say he may file local charges. this is speaking volumes by their actions. they want robert durst. >> jean thank you. in new orleans they found marijuana, cash and a revolver in that room where he was arrested. "outfront" now, investigative journalist who wrote a book about robert durst and the judge who presided over durst's trial for killing a neighbor.

he was acquitted in that case. you two know more about him than anybody else. matt you've been covering durst for years. when you heard that voice, what did you think? >> i was familiar with most of what was being aired and i heard him say what he said. but when he said that i didn't think, knowing what i know about the case that he was just talking about kathy durst and susan berman and morris black. in my mind he's talking about everybody. he's lived a bizarre life and he did it for years before this case even began in 2000. >> so you think he might be a serial killer? >> i was convinced of this ten years ago. i met with andrew several times. >> the director of the documentary? >> the director of the documentary. he wasn't convinced of it. i haven't spoke to him in a

couple of years. i'm assuming he may stand with me now. but hearing that last night it did send a chill down my spine. >> judge, this is a man who admitted to dismembering somebody saying that the killing was accidental. when you hear him say, i killed them all, you hear matt talk about how he's believed for a long time that this man is a serial killer, what do you think? >> oh i agree. when we tried morris black and i saw the pictures of the cutout heart of morris black and hower perfect he had been cut like a surgeon, that person knew what they were doing, what sort of weapon and knife to use to cut this bone and that muscle and use different tools for different parts of the body that was chilling. and that was not -- that did not look like the work of someone who had cut up their first body. >> and judge, durst was caught

on the microphone. there's been a debate whether that will be useable or not. this is a man who has said things off microphones before. he certainly understands when a mike is on or not on. my question to you, do you think he wanted to get caught? this is a case at the end of his life. he wants to take credit for what he sees as his life's work? >> no. a lot of people are saying that because it just seems like such an odd thing to do to submit to the interview at all but i don't think he wanted to get caught. i do think that he had so much disdain and hate for his family that he wanted to put them in a bad light. he was willing to risk getting himself in trouble. >> matt why do you think he committed -- as you do think -- he committed these horrific murders and maybe many more? >> what wasn't in the documentary is he had been diagnosed at 10 years old with

severe psychological problems. it was a warning. this was 1953. his family has known all along that he's had mental issues. they talked about personality deterioration and things like that. so this is nothing new to the family. >> all right. well i appreciate both of you taking the time. we'll be talking with you a lot more about this these incredible developments in this case. next a popular traffic app that you may be using or have heard about it. is it used to track down police officers. and a mega church pastor is asking help for his congregation. he wants to buy a $65 million private jet. this is real. we've the story. financial noise financial noise

two police officers shot on the streets of los angeles. the officers were driving through a neighborhood in an unmarked police car and suddenly opened fire. this is raising concerns about the safety of police officers in the united states. a major fear is actually a popular smartphone app that is used by at least 50 million people worldwide to spot traffic

jams and things like cops to see if they can stop you for speeding. now people say it's being used to target police. sara sidner is "outfront." >> reporter: this is a driver's dream, helping 50 million users around the world avoid tickets and avoid traffic jams and speed traps during their morning commute. but the app is raising concern among law enforcement that it could be used for nefarious reasons. >> in half a mile turn left. police reported ahead. >> reporter: in december, this was a screenshot of the waze app before he shot and killed two new york policemen. they don't believe he used the app to target the police officers. still, l.a. police chief charlie beck is not taking any chances. >> given the incidents in new york and other things that have

occurred i think that it is the risk that outweighs the benefit. >> reporter: police departments around the country are taking a stand after high-tension protests and high-profile police killings have raised questions about the vulnerability about the men and women in uniform. >> why give them tools to make it easier to kill police officers? it makes no sense to me or anybody i've talked to. >> reporter: they are very concerned about the accuracy of that police tool in being able to pinpoint where police officers are. so we decided to put it to the test. >> turn right. police reported ahead. >> reporter: about 7 of 10 times, the police were no longer where the app showed they were because that relies on users to constantly update officers' locations. waze has responded to the police complaints saying they partnered with the police around the world including the nypd and say the police partners support waze because most users tend to drive more carefully when law

enforcement is nearby. but the national sheriff's association balks at that. >> the problem is that the police locator button or reporting button has no use other than for people who are doing illegal activity. >> and as the number of people using the app rises, the law enforcement says it is accuracy will rise too. more convenience for drivers but more potential danger for police. >> police reported ahead. >> reporter: sara sidner cnn, los angeles. joining me now is jonathan thompson director of the ceo for sheriff associations helping to locate the police app. what makes you think that waze is being used to target cops? what specifically do you think is happening? >> let me put this into perspective. a little over two months ago two innocent officers were murdered assassinated. the app was found on the

handheld and laptop of the suspect. more than likely they are using this as a tool but the real threat here is that when more than one person gets together they control what information is posted where it's posted and how it's posted. the simple act, the simple act of avoiding a drunk driving checkpoint a speed route, any other host of activities tells us there's a likelihood that it's being used in a multitude of ways. and that's a threat to officers. >> and has google responded? do they seem like they will take that app down away? >> you know that's a great question. for one month we have been asking them almost every day, meet with us talk to us let us show you what we see, explain to us what you see and they've done nothing but stiff-armed us. >> well hopefully they will be giving you some answers. >> you know we're very troubled by it. it's one of those things

imagine in a second a kidnapping, that three-hour time period 80% of the time is the most vital. the kidnapper finds that sees the amber alert put up sees the cops staked out, they can go the other way. that's a problem for the parent. >> something very few people probably thought about. up next a popular evangelist asking them to spread the gospel by spreading the wealth. he wants them to help buy him a $65 million jet and we have the report. putting putin on the milk carton helped. jeanne moos on his mysterious disappearance. it's where great ideas and vital data are stored. with centurylink you get advanced technology solutions from a trusted it partner. including cloud and hosting services - all backed by an industry leading broadband network and people committed to helping you grow your business. you get a company that's more than just the sum of it's parts. centurylink.
