9:00 pm
i'm in for anderson tonight. breaking news, word from attorney general, loretta lynch. no charges for hillary clinton or anyone else. there is a joint clinton bernie sanders possibly for him to endorse her. more on that shortly. we begin with donald trump, fresh from speaking out against hillary clinton, against fdi director james comey. against a system he calls rigged and controversily praising sad yam hus yan and saying he wishes his campaign hadn't taken down a tweet that some saw as ant
9:01 pm
anti-semant anti-semantic. fiery is an under statement. here is some of what he said. >> rigged system, folks. remember, i used to say it. i'm the one that brought that word up. now everybody is using it. bernie sanders is rightfully using it. because honestly, what they did with him is not good. wake up. i turn on the television, donald trump loves saddam hussein. he loves hussein. and i was just asked a question by the cincinnati inquirer. mr. trump, is it true you love saddam hussein, essentially like that. i said, that is not what i said. that is not what i said. that is the narrative that goes around iechl put a press release out and now the people that saw it say it was great but they're liars. these are bad people. these are bad people. and what i did say, and what i did say is that he was good at one thing. he was really good at killing
9:02 pm
terrorists. he didn't wait around. so one of my guys, married to a jewish woman, this is a very fine person. he put out a tweet talking about crooked hillary clinton and on the tweet was a star. a star. like, a star. and i said oh, because when i looked at it, i didn't think anything. all of a sudden, it turned out to be in the minds of the press only, because it could have been a sheriff's star. a regular star, my boy comes home from school, he drew stars all over the place. i never said that is the star of david, baron. don't -- it is a star! have you seen it? it is a star! the democrats there, was a mosquito, i don't want mosquitos around me. i don't like mosquitos! i don't like those mosquitos, i never did. okay, speaking of mosquitos,
9:03 pm
hello, hillary, how are you doing? >> that was donald trump just moments ago. cnn sarah murray was there. she joins us from cincinnati. it is safe to say this was not the teleprompter donald trump. >> i think that is fair to say, john berman. this was pretty classic, old school donald trump. he was going after the media and he was reviving controversies that seemed to have mostly been put to bed. you saw him there talking about the tweet that had this star, six pointed star. it had hillary clinton and piles of cash. it evoked anti-semantic and he got criticism on twitter. the campaign deleted it. covered with something else. the social media director put out a statement saying i never meant to offend anyone. they didn't go so far as to apologize but that was a couple of days ago and donald trump brought it all back. in addition to reviving that
9:04 pm
comment about saddam hussein. he started on message. he started talking about rob port man in a tough reelection time. he ended on a tangents. >> he did talk about james comey, the fbi and the e-mails. that is what a lot of republicans want him to focus on almost exclusively at this point. tomorrow, donald trump heads to capitol hill. he will meet with members of congress, he will try to reassure members of congress, do you think tonight's event, tonight's speech will be reassuring on capitol hill? >> well, it is important to note that when it comes to prosecuting the case against hillary clinton, donald trump does that as engetergetica wine. he says she managed to get away with it. you'll hear more on that as he goes to talk to republicans on the hill. and he tends to do better on the closed door meetings with republicans when she ask him
9:05 pm
questions and talk about the fundamentals of the campaign, about the strategy going into the general election. but the donald trump you get on the stump, on the campaign trail on nights like this where he is fired up. especially against the press is a totally different thing compared to what you'll see behind closed doors in washington. >> he is energized. that is to be sure. donald trump going to capitol hill. fbi director james comey also will be there. he will be in congress, going to answer questions about his recommendation against criminal charges for hillary clinton. a recommendation that loretta lynch accepted. as you saw again tonight, director comey is facing heat from donald trump and republicans accusing him of a double standard charging others under similar circumstances but not charging her. this is an allegation that comey tried to nip in the bud yesterday. >> all of the cases prosecuted involved some combination of clearly intentional and willful miss handling of confidential
9:06 pm
information or vast quantities of information, exposed to support an inference of misconduct or disloyalty to the united states or efforts to obstruct justice. >> they disagree and now say they want to know more even though when chairman's case, he praised director comey and said he would probably accept the up coming decision. >> his finger is on the pulse of this. nothing happens without him and i think he is going to be the definitive person to make a determination or a recommendation. >> all right. that was then. right now, let's turn to m, comt press charges against anyone else connected to this. what can you tell us about today's meeting? >> this really does not come as much of a surprise as loretta lynch previously announced she would accept the recommendation from the fbi no matter what it
9:07 pm
was. and with comey saying he didn't think a credible case could be made against clinton, she clearly agreed. she met this afternoon with cuomo and investigators who investigated the matter for a year and said no charges will be brought against, quote, any individuals within the scope of the investigation. now, in the wake of bill clinton's meeting with clinch on the tarmac, many republicans don't think the attorney general is impartial and she will be on capitol hill next week, john, testifying and answering questions from republicans. >> what can we expect to hear from director comey when he appeared before chaffetz committee. >> he will get a grilling and many of the republicans simply believe that clinton broke the law and should be prosecuted. this there will be multiple rounds of questioning from members from both sides of the aisle and house republicans really say that this is just a start of a political pressure campaign that is just going to intensify into november.
9:08 pm
>> and earlier today, manu, speaker ryan spoke about the fbi decision, spoke about what actions congress might take against hillary clinton. what was he saying? >> speaker ryan also suggested that he believed that hillary clinton got preferential treatment and when i asked him today if he thought congress should push for a special prosecutor, he actually did not rule that out. he said that all options are on the table. ryan has been very clear that clinton should not get access to the country's secrets during the campaign. listen to what he had to say. >> i was on the ticket in 2012. after the convention, you get the full, deep classified information as part of transition, as part of being a nominee. i think the dni, clapper, should deny hillary clinton access to classified information during this campaign given how she so recklessly handled classified information. >> republicans on the house
9:09 pm
intelligence committee privately met this morning and i'm told they discussed whether there is any legislative recourse to deny clinton access to intelligence. watch out for that, john, interestingly, i asked senate majority leader mitch mcconnell if donald trump should be briefed and he would not answer and instead he called on clinton to release a transcripts of her fbi interviews, john. >> 2016, manu raju. clinton supporters. michael and quinn. new york times patrick healy, trump supporters joseph borelli. caught in in all. we're talking about donald trump's speech. not the teleprompter trump which received praise. do you think this will be of concern for people who liked donald trump painting within the lines? >> no. this is donald trump taking control of the narrative by the hillary clinton campaign who takes any small incident, blows
9:10 pm
it up. manufacturers outrage and tries to create controversy where none exists. it was important to set it right. hillary clinton said x, y and z about me. he did focus on the issues, on the fbi investigation and that is important, too. that is probably most important but it was important to give the rebuttals. >> rebuttals to the star of david or the tweet controversy which no one was really bringing up today, kaylee. today was focused on the fbi, focused on james comey, on the e-mails which had no republicans thinking is a officfertile issu. unprovoked in cincinnati today. >> we have unbelievably dishonest media. think of that. so you have the star, which is fine. i should say, you shouldn't have taken it down. they took the star down. i said too, bad. you should have left it up. i would rather defended it and say that is not a star of david. that is just a star.
9:11 pm
>> were you surprised, councilman to see donald trump again tonight unprovoked when so much focus elsewhere is on hillary clinton and the e-mails bring up this controversy again? >> i think you reach a point where you're so frustrated with some of the manufacturered anger coming from things like the star of david to his trip to scotland. one of the things he spoke about is the trip to scotland and they used golf videos to create this lie that he was in scotland solely to play golf. you reach a critical point where you get frustrated and see this take, a larger precedent in the media over things that hillary clinton is doing like the fbi investigation, et cetera, et cetera. >> my point. it wasn't taking today, at least, a larger role in the media. today it has been all about the fbi. been all about the e-mails, it has been all about the hearings that will take place in congress tomorrow. patrick healy, you were with donald trump today, with you. he was bringing up the star of david. >> shortly before his rally we
9:12 pm
sat down at his office and he so clearly just was galling him. it was galling him, this idea that he had been pushing and trafficking and anti-acceptableati anti-acceptableatianti-acceptas. i saw a star, he sort of understood his staff took it down because of the sensitivities and sensibilities. he wanted to fight. the thing that was striking, john, as you know, republicans dream of a kind of weak like this where the fbi director is getting up there, barack obama's fbi director and giving it to bill clinton or giving it to hillary clinton and serving up just these softballs and donald trump instead is really just kind of still seething over a tweet that nobody really even wants to talk about. you think that he didn't want to talk about anymore and he is not pounding on the judgment and on the competency and on the instinct questions that are so
9:13 pm
fertile he could be raising. >> it baffles the mind why he would go back to this unfortunate, at best, unfortunate incident. it reminds americans that he is kind of irrational. and doesn't really have a sound sense of judgment and that makes you question, in my opinion, his stability and character as it relates to being president of the united states buttoned that, his staff members said they picked it off of an anti-hillary website which in fact, that exact imagery, the star of david with words like corrupt in it on top of a pile of money has been well documented as an image used on anti-semantic websites. you can not assail the qualifications of the anti-defamation league, a totally independent group. >> let's just hold on a minute. >> that is ridiculous. >> this is a tweet that donald
9:14 pm
trump now says he wishes were not taken down. but the issue, because i don't think we'll ever get the councilman or christine quinn to agree on whether this is ant anti-semantic or not. it wouldn't be discussed unless donald trump did what was politically unthinkable and that is bring it up himself. >> on a day that hillary clinton, her e-mail scandal, the fact that the fbi director has to go in front of the congress hearings. these are all things like patrick said. we talked about this earlier, these would be death blows. instead, donald trump is obsessing over a mistake that his campaign made four days ago, he is still talking about that. he wasted time when all of the networks are covering him, rehashing that issue.
9:15 pm
not only did he waste time on that bringing it back up so now we're talking about this instead of going after hillary clinton. he brought up the scotland golf thing again, he is bringing up all of these other, grudging up stuff. he wasted so much precious time going on and on about himself and other controversies and criticizing cnn and the media instead of talk being this country, going after hillary clinton, her record, her problems, instead of hammering that message home. >> he did that. >> he did that for about three minutes and then he went off on these crazy tangents again. >> everyone expects him to be a perfectly polished politician. >> he is a real person. he is going to address these acquisitions unlike the secretary of state who trieds to disparage a business effort as opposed to addressing all of the various myriad of contradictions
9:16 pm
that james comey pointed out. he takes the issues head on like any real person will do. >> we'll get you into this decision, kaylee is right. she has not spoken out publicly about the e-mails, about what the fbi director said about the investigation at this point. she hasn't talked yesterday, she hasn't spoken today. should she? >> i don't know if she will but the investigation is over. loretta lynch said this today. this investigation is over. what is going to happen is that the republicans unsatisfied with this finding who have pinned the white house aspirations on hillary clinton being indicted. they will bring james comey down to congress, a man who has been lauded by people on both the right and the left but all of a sudden now, these findings are somehow flawed. >> but -- >> but the point is that i don't know if she would address them. >> they're shouting out questions. >> reporters are always shouting
9:17 pm
out questions. >> in comments she made yesterday in a release from yesterday, but the fact of the matter is this is going to continue to get dredged up and it is not about finding systemic problems and changes that can be made. it is about prosecuting her. >> all right guys, standby. the investigation may be over. the discussion is not over. james comey will be on capitol hill. there is much more to discuss on the hearings. later, hillary clinton takes dead aim on how donald trump ran the casinos into the ground. da, dave stops working, but his aleve doesn't. because aleve can last 4 hours longer than tylenol 8 hour. what will you do with your aleve hours? or building the best houses in town. or becoming the next highly-unlikely dotcom superstar. and us, we'll be right there with you,

9:21 pm
i run on quickbooks.that's how i own it. just before donald trump began speaking in cincinnati tonight, word came down that attorney general loretta lynch would not pursue charges against hillary clinton or anyone connected to her. trump reacted. watch. >> this just happened, you know, with the attorney general of the united states saying no problem. no problem. no problem. you know? i wrote out a couple of things about hillary, crooked, so crooked. she made so many false statements. is she going to be brought before congress or something? is something going to happen? is something going to happen? because it is a disgrace. >> back now with our panel. patrick healy, i want to start with you. the democrats to your right suggest the investigation is over. the investigation is completely over. this is not over. not when james comey is going to capitol hill tomorrow to answer
9:22 pm
questions to one committee. the attorney general will appear before another committee. not when the house will consider legislation to bar classified information from going to the secretary of state while she is running for president. this is kind of a big deal with the fbi director going to capitol hill. >> this is really the beginning of something. the end of the investigation is the beginning of a difficult political period for hillary clinton. the question is, are the republicans on the hill who will meet with donald trump going to say to him this is how you have to prosecute the argument. you have her on the hot seat like no democratic nominee has been in years. this is how you have to go after her because this could be the kind of story that you know, lasts for weeks for her and as we know with hillary clinton, she is not the greatest at sitting down and taking all questions and saying i'll answer every last question that comes at me but people are going to be pressing her on this. people will be shoutings at her. if he figures out a way to focus
9:23 pm
on the miss trust, the judgment. she will be able to reach on decided voters where as the conspiracy theories he is trading in a lot of the times,o u know, people roll their eyes at that. >> by the way, when you say she is not the best at answering questions, she doesn't really hold news conferences in any kind of -- >> can i tweak that a little bit? i would take issue with that. when she was asked to testify at the benghazi hearings, one was an 11 hour session. she is prepared to sit down and answer questions related to these very tough issues but i think what the voters will look at ultimately is we spend $7 million on the investigations. the last report hit with a thud. no new information there. and i think what the american people will want to know is you can spend all of this time and all of this money trying to go after this woman, but you can't muster the fortitude to create good gun control laws?
9:24 pm
>> tara, james comey will be in the hot seat tomorrow, if there is a one guy that can handle the hot seat it will be james comey. do republicans run the risk here by putting the heat on him? >> if they don't over reach. as long as they ask legitimate questions, congress has over sight capacity over the fbi and the department of justice and they have every right to ask the fbi director how the investigation was conducted, how he came to the conclusion that even what, what's the difference between extremely careless and grossly negligent. i think he has the american people have the right to have the full explanation to that. as long as they don't over play their hand. what happened at the benghazi hearings, there were missed opportunities. there was new information in the report that came out last week. at the hearings there, were things, missed opportunities there. as long as it is not a rehash, i think this could have political upside for the republicans for sure but donald trump has to capitalize on that. >> counselor, i'll change the
9:25 pm
subject completely. donald trump said something interesting about the man on stage with them. newt gingrich, the former speaker of the house. he went out of his way to praise newt gingrich. i'm not saying tg is going to be newt, but if he is in the debates, he won't lose. do you think he is number one, two, or three on the list. >> i think all of the evidence in the media is that newt is one of the finalists in the vehic veepstakes. i think all were very good picks. newt brings a lot of mainstream republican support. he brings a vast knowledge of policy which i think donald trump could benefit from. but i really want to answer one question if you will indulge me for a second. the answer we spent $7 million trying to answer is one she wouldn't answer. why have you boldfaced lied to the american public about sending e-mails and not deleting them. you boldfaced lied to the american public on benghazi,
9:26 pm
what you told your daughter versus what she told the public. >> she didn't lie about deleting e-mails. >> i never sent classified e-mails. >> she didn't lie about deleting e-mails. >> she lied about the classified e-mail. >> number one, number two, with respect to the conversations with the daughter, if you will remember what was said in the testimony, it was that -- this was an ongoing event obviously. these were evolving. >> first she said one. >> one of the things she said to the daughter including comments made by susan rice were relative to information that they were just getting but had not settled on. it was an evolving event. this took place, these are were conversations -- >> what about an event that evolved about not sending classified e-mails. she oughting to have known, why was she willing to lie when directly asked several times on this question? >> i think it was very clear in the way the secretary conducted herself at the benghazi hearings and the degree to which those ended up as a show of really no new evidence of any wrong doing
9:27 pm
and -- and it shows she was not lying. and again, i want to say tomorrow at the hearing when the fbi director is. there tara raises a good point of will they go too far again? what i believe will happen, regardless of how the congressmembers conduct themselves, within the appropriate way or they go out of the way to attack a highly regarded public servant. donald trump will go out of his way to be outrageous again. >> correct in saying she shouldn't be charged. you should accept the fact that he basically said that she lied about this. >> he never said the word lied. don't put words in a distinguished public servant's mouth. let's not forget, donald trump just yesterday raised the spector that the fbi director, a man that has taken on republicans and democrats with
9:28 pm
clear, you know, patriotic focus, that he had made this decision because he was being coerced into staying on as the fbi director. that is what will happen after tomorrow's hearing. donald trump will act in a way that is disrespectful, un-american -- >> we'll take a quick break and talk a lot more about this coming up. clearly, there is a lot to discuss right now. there is also more to discuss about hillary clinton and her day today. she went to atlantic city to talk about donald trump and his businesses -- failed business. she gave a scathing speech and stood in front of a fading trump name in a now closed casino. more on what hillary clinton told the american people and what james comey told the american people. that is next. ♪hey just cashed a check ♪and i'm bout to blow it all on chocolate♪ ♪ya i'm bout to blow it all on chocolate♪ ♪sweet tooth baby make that dollar stretch♪ ♪yo yo yo chocolate yo yo yo chocolate♪

9:32 pm
hillary clinton was in atlantic city today. she did not answer questions or give any explanation about the e-mails story and what the fbi director said about her practices as secretary of state. instead, she hammered donald trump's business failures in atlantic city and warned essentially that a president trump is a gamble the country cannot afford. on the board walk in front of a
9:33 pm
now closed trump plaza casino, she talked about the multiple bankruptcies, stiffing contractors and causing job losses during his stint running casinos there. >> when this casino collapsed because of how badly he managed it, hundreds of people lost their jobs. shareholders were wiped out. lenders lost money. contractors, many of them small businesses, took heavy losses and many themselves went bust. but donald trump? he walked away with millions. and here is what he says about the whole experience. he actually brags about it. atlantic city was a very good cash cow for me for a long time. the money i took out of there was incredible. >> we're joined now by jeff
9:34 pm
zeleny. what else was he saying about trump and his business record and why? >> it was song and verse about the long business record of donald trump, particularly here in atlantic city. it certainly has seen its better days and donald trump certainly not to blame for all of the economic issues of atlantic city, but he certainly has bankruptcies in his history and record here. she came directly to the heart of the board walk here. literally turned behind her and looked at the sign where trump plaza used to state. her point here is this. he got rich. other people did not. that is her whole anthem of her campaign here. she believes that he is trying to, you know, sort of defraud and mislead working class voters across america so she is trying to, at every turn, get them to pay more attention to his actual business record. john, i got the sense that today might be replayed in the form of a tv commercial with clinton turning behind her and looking at that trump plaza, formally trump plaza sign. >> one of the things that might give you the impression is they
9:35 pm
had cameras there filming it. clearly they want to focus on that and not the e-mails. loretta lynch announced she will accept the decision for no charges against hillary clinton. >> she is not talking publicly about it yet but a tweet a short time ago said this. with the attorney general accepting director comey's recommendation, the case is resolved. no matter republicans attempts to continue playing politics. so again, they say the case is closes. the case is resolved. legally that in fact may be true but politically speaking this case goes on and it will go on tomorrow morning on capitol hill before the house over sight committee when director comey is answering the questions. one interesting thing, they've been working with house democrats to shape the questions and get context out and their
9:36 pm
side of the story out. the hearing is not just one sided with republicans. it will be with democrats asking questions as well. >> it will be fascinating tomorrow. jeff, you have other news, political news on the democratic side. the idea of possible democratic unity, a possible joint appearance between secretary clinton and bernie sanders next week? >> john, we are learning that tonight. there is a potential meeting next tuesday in new hampshire with hillary clinton and bernie sanders. behind the scenes, they've been working on this for quite some time and the details are not quite worked out. the sanders campaign is holding out hope for a couple more things and the outcome of platform meeting, a democratic platform meeting this weekend in orlando, if that goes well, if the sanders campaign gets more things that it has been asking for, they believe he will appear on tuesday in new hampshire and will in fact endorse her. if things don't go well, he may not. so finally this is coming together. patience is really running thin on some democrats who want to
9:37 pm
get on with this. she has appeared with the president of course and vice president come friday but they want to get this out of the way before the democratic convention which is really just slightly under three weeks away. john? >> jeff zeleny, thanks so much. as you heard, secretary clinton said in her speech that donald trump convinced other people that his atlantic beach properties were good but rigged it so he got paid no matter how bad the properties perform. jessi jessica schneider has been digging into the properties. >> donald trump became the self pro claimed king of atlantic city. it was april, 1990 when trump opened his third casino in atlantic city to extravagant fanfare and bravado. >> they talked about a billion dollars a day. i think we've done that in the first few hours. >> within days, trump's new
9:38 pm
trophy was tarnished. it immediately began losing money but you wouldn't have known it from what trump was saying publicly. he talked to larry king less than three weeks. >> we've broken every record. you're seeing numbers that nobody has ever seen before. it is a great building. >> trump's boast didn't stop the alarm bells from sounding at the new jersey casino control commission. in the summer of 1990, the commission issued an internal report flagging the fact that several trump's atlantic city casinos were generating insufficient level of cash flow pushing it towards collapse. >> he didn't run a company that served atlantic city well or served investors well. he didn't run a company that served the employees well. he left a lot of damage in the wake. >> tim o'brien documented trump's financial woes for years as a reporter for the new york times. >> the reality is he got too big to and atlantic city couldn't afford to let him run a ground
9:39 pm
because he had gotten control of such a big part of the market. >> the financial fall out was felt throughout trump's properties. the castle casino owed $20 million to bond holders in 1990 and as the deadline on that debt approached, gaming officials expressed concern to the control commission about a ripple effect. they considered pulling the gaming licenses but feared an industry wide collapse. the casino commission instead approved a $65 million bail out. the money coming from nine banks. it also put a strict limit on trump's personal spending, budgeting him $450,000 a month for the first year with decreasing amounts for the next five years. ever the outward opthalmologiim touted it a win. it lamented the situation it was forced into. >> if you have these casinos going out. they will go to the entire work
9:40 pm
force. >> in 1991, one year after it opened, the taj mahal filed for bankruptcy, the other properties followed suit. despite the failures, some still credit donald trump for infusing atlantic city with the energy to make it the east coast gambling destination in the 90s. aug augierenna say the early years were the best. she spent workk as the head of the player development. >> it was an excellent leader and excellent boss. he picks the best, most knowledgeable, most talented people. >> reporter: and donald trump defends the bullish ways. >> i have the good sense and i've gotten a lot of credit in the financial business. seven years ago i loss atlantic city and i made a lot of money in atlantic city and i'm very proud itself. >> trump standing by the words saying bankruptcy is effective and a commonly used practice. c in fn, new york. >> a lot to talk about there.

supporties, the jobs lost, trump responded at a rally in ohio a short time ago and imitated hillary clinton talking about him. >> donald trump is a bad person. donald trump made a lot of money on atlantic city but he hurt the little people. she calls them the little people. i didn't. we made a lot of money and government what they did. did you see that sham. i left seven years ago. >> back now with our panel. patrick healy, the term swift boating comes to mind here which in political terms means go after your opponent's perceived strengths. donald trump, one of the perceived strengths is a businessman, made a lot of money. so the clinton campaign is hitting him on his business practices. how far do they think they can go with this? >> they think they can go far, john, this was, it was just a picture perfect, so well executed campaign event for hillary clinton. this is what they do when the message is bad like with the fbi, they go to atlantic city.
9:46 pm
they stand, you know, right in front of that image. you see the trump faded sign and they want to push it just like barack obama planned to go after romney as much as he could about the down sizing, layoff of workers, that this hits people where they live. bringing this to the undecided workers in pennsylvania, and ohio and michigan where donald trump is hoping to make serious inroads an remind him this is a guy in a billionaire in a penthouse apartment who put people out of work, cashed out, took the money away. it is a powerful argument. the thing is, donald trump has a powerful counter argument about a different narrative about her trust, but he doesn't make it in the same way that she can execute sort of so clearly and cleanly. >> tara, new jersey woman here. >> proudly. >> the republicans tried this in the primaries, they hit donald trump on this. do you think they did it less effectively than hillary
9:47 pm
clinton? >> obviously they lost. i said for months they needed to go after his business record and make it more human and bring the human interest stories into this so people can see and hear the actual words and rhetoric that donald trump used in the 80s and 90s to get these ka seebos and the -- casinos and the promises he made that ended up being completely untrue and compare that to the same language he is using and making promises to the american people that will turn out to be untrue also. atlantic city is a microcosm of the trump campaign right now. i hate to agree with hillary clinton it pains me but she is 100 % right on the business record. not only did he put people out of work, he put people out of their homes. he had to -- he lied to the gaming commission down there to the point where they were like, we don't believe what you're saying and they almost didn't approve things. he needed his father to come in and sign off on the leases from the mafia by the way.
9:48 pm
they that didn't get into his ties to the mob, which are well documented. >> allegedly. >> head didn't talk about the fact that he was fined against black and female dealers to appease a mafia dealer. he wanted to take over a casino and promised the gaming commission let me take over because -- and what happened when he took over? it went bankrupt in a year. >> you must have a different view. >> yeah, the conspiracies with a little off here. >> it is fact. not conspiracy. >> the problem with the atlantic city argument is that people walked down the streets in manhattan and look up and see trump towers. they go to the beach in florida. i went to las vegas. there is trump tower. he has 500 businesses. one went wrong in atlantic city. that is a rather good record. he has created a 10 billion
9:49 pm
enterprise. employed 10's of thousands of dollars. hillary clinton has employed precisely zero. that is the problem with the argument. it is a losing one. >> tell that to the people he promised jobs to that didn't get them. testimony them to the people in indiana when he promised another river boat casino and thousands of jobs for the local work force there and none of of that came to fruition. tell that to the cabinet makers in atlantic city that worked for them because they believe in the trump name who's family business went out of business because donald trump did not pay them because of one of his bankruptcies. tell that to the piano salesman who was intimidated to paying 70 cents on the dollar because donald trump said he wasn't going to pay him what he wanted. that is real. >> i assume you haven't seen the contracts between these various contractors and donald trump. you don't know the terms of the contract. >> they're in the bankruptcies. they're in the bankruptcies which is public record. >> are you seen them? >> i've seen the bankruptcies. >> you haven't seen the contracts. we can go piece by piece. >> so those people are lying?
9:50 pm
>> donald trump is not? >> donald trump is not create a $10 billion enterprise by not paying people. >> there is no proof -- >> the key point is how does this get in front of voters. hillary >> how does all this get in front of voters. hillary clinton and her super pac have spent millions and millions of dollars buying air time. they're going to flood the airwaves with commercials like the one that jeff described. donald trump is so far behind on this, to come up with the counter argument, as strong as kaley may be making it. >> he has some new money in the bank right now. maybe he will go on the air with a message soon. we will take a quick break. cnn has obtained new video of a police shooting in baton rouge, louisiana, the images the

9:57 pm
monday night, early tuesday morning very large crowd on hand here, like there was last night, tonight there are a number of things going on a prayer vigil, a major intersection has been blocked by the crowd and the traffic. it's all been very peaceful, the calls have been nor people to maintain order. a lot of people are gathering to see what happens next. as to your question, though, it was a phone call according to authorities that came in to 911 on that monday night that reported a man wearing a red shirt who apparently had accosted the caller with a gun, threatening him. the report came in of a man at this food mart, threatening people with a gun. that's what police say they were told, that's the attitude they had when they arrived. >> sterling's family they spoke out today. what did they have to say?
9:58 pm
>> they believe this is murder. murder done by police. they don't believe there was any justification either for the action the authorities took, or for some of the evidence that police had. there are family members who don't believe he has a gun, never said he had a gun. he did talk about needing protection in the neighborhood. his mother said she recommended a knife, they didn't say there was a gun. and that is one of the things that is in great dispute. the family here clearly states that the video shows and the store owner backs up that he was not being aggressive and that there was no gun in his hands at the time that the police arrived. >> no gun in his hands, maybe in his possession, that is what's in dispute. what's the latest on the officers involved? >> they're on administrative leave, that is the standard practice here. now it's being told there has been an initial interview done with them. this is in keeping with what is
9:59 pm
the law in the state of louisiana. there is an immediate interview done of them by detectives, that's taken place. it took place before the federal authorities got involved both those officers say they believe their actions were justifiable. we should point out, though, that that kind of evidence or those kind of statements are not used or not admissible. it is merely for police understanding of what happened. >> all right, martin savidge for us, in baton rouge in front of peaceful protests there. thank you so much. we have a lot to discuss in this two hours of 360. donald trump's list of running mates just got a little shorter. bob corker takes himself out of consideration. ♪i'm leaving in my thoughts

10:03 pm
good evening, again, breaking news throughout the hour, including a new video showing a police shooting. we begin with donald trump in ohio on an epic tear against many, many things including a mosquito. also including hillary clinton and the lack of charges against her in the e-mail investigation, also including the tweet his campaign sent out with the picture of hillary clinton, the
10:04 pm
money and the six pointed star that some people saw as anti-semitic. tonight he said he wished it had not been taken down. that's not all he said. >>en hillary clinton i said bad judgment, she's incompetent, okay? the only thing she's ever done is get out of trouble when anybody else would have been in jail by now. that's the only thing i've ever seen her do. that was a great job, i got to give her credit. i got to give bill clinton credit for going to that plane and saying for 39 minutes he talked about his grandchildren, and he talked about goth. there's no way you can do that. i told you, two minutes with the grandchildren, two minutes on golf, we have 36 minutes left, what are we going to talk about? that's talk about hillary. and hillary then talks about, i think i'd reappoint the attorney general. and you're waiting for a
10:05 pm
decision by the attorney general. and you're saying you're going to give her a job, you're not allowed to do that, that's bribery, folks. raised $51 million, folks. right? even newt couldn't believe that, right, newt? $51 million raised, here's what's going to happen, and i just started really in the middle of -- listen, it sounds like a football game, dude, dude, dude, dude. i don't know, newt, are they booing or saying newt? >> we all love newt, newt gets it. i'll tell you one thing, folks, i'm not saying it's newt, but if it's newt, nobody's going to be beating him in those debates, that's for sure. right? nobody. >> we have a president who's terrible, we have a president who's right now what he wants to do, all he wants to do is campaign. he wants to -- he has fun campaigning, he has a good time campaigning. i want a president that's going
10:06 pm
to be focusing on knocking the hell out of isis. the democrats -- ooh, there was a mosquito, i don't want mosquitos around me. i don't like mosquitos. i don't like those mosquitos, i never did. okay. speaking of mosquitos, hello, hillary, how are you doing? we have unbelievably dishonest media, you have the star, which is fine. they shouldn't have taken it down. they took the star down. i said, too bad, you should have left it up, i would have rather defended it. no, that's not a star of david, that's just a star. >> sara murray was at this event. it's clear donald twrump was enjoying himself, he was energized during this entire speech, he did discuss hillary clinton and her e-mails, but he discussed a lot of other things, many, many other things he heads to capitol hill tomorrow to meet
10:07 pm
with republicans. some of them want him with a greater disciplined speech. >> i think other republicans are going to look at his criticisms saying hillary clinton is a liar, she gets away with things other americans would go to prison for. i think the portion they're not going to like as much are the parts where he doubles down on some compliments he offered to saddam hussein, the former iraqi dictator, and he doubled down on his campaign, sending out this tweet with the six pointed star and the piles of cash behind hillary clinton, which many thought invoke d anti-semitic stereotypes. having to answer for donald trump doubled down on x, y, do you agree with him? when he goes to the hill and meets with these folks, i think they get a better sense of what's going on with his campaign, of him personally, it's possible he may be able to win a couple people over that way. he's certainly not doing them
10:08 pm
any favors when they get stopped in the center hallways and have to answer for things like the tweet and the anti-defamation league. >> we heard trump talk about newt gingrich, the possibility he's a vice presidential pick. newt is going to be involved in government at some level if he's elected. dropping a lot of hints there, sara. >> we are in full on veepstakes mode. you know this period all too well. we are looking for any hint that he may be closing in on someone that he feels comfortable with. one thing you can tell, they feel very comfortable together. gingrich has become an asset to this campaign, in a way he wasn't early on, and he's really become comfortable not just with donald trump, but trump's family members. one things trump has said in recent interviews. he's trying to decide whether he wants someone to bolster his military credentials or bolster
10:09 pm
him on the political side. that could be a key question that could determine whether he would go with someone like newt gingrich. >> sara murray, thank you so much. newt gingrich introduced donald trump, he is on the short list. two others, doesn't seem like they are any more. joannie ernst made noises about staying in the senate, she didn't want to be part of this election process any more, and bob corker, who introduced donald trump last night. he flat out said, no thanks. i spoke to senator corker earlier tonight. senator corker, earlier today, you said you are withdrawing yourself from consideration to be donald trump's running mate, you don't feel comfortable playing the role of a political attack dog. it's a highly political job and that's not who i am. that's what the vp role is particularly as a candidatcandi. if you're not comfortable with it, why did you let yourself get so far in the vetting process. >> i didn't use the words attack
10:10 pm
dog. that's what someone else ascribed to the job. but look, i think when someone asks you to consider something, i think all of us look at it fully, i felt like there was a better way for me. there are other people who are better suited to try to be a vice presidential candidate, but the process was very positive, i certainly appreciated the time with the candidate, donald trump and his family members and certainly have an appreciation for who they are and how they conduct themselves. >> you've also been somewhat critical of the campaign and the candidates. you were discouraged by the results of some of the advice you've been giving him. did that come at all into your decision not to keep your hat into the ring to be his running mate? >> it really didn't. i view myself as someone that if i ever were to serve in an administration, would serve in a different way than being a vice presidential candidate.
10:11 pm
but it really didn't. i think that they have made moves in a very positive direction. they're going to make a lot more moves in that direction. i think they're gearing up and are going to have a very professional campaign as they move ahead. >> where would you like to see the most growth for donald trump as a candidate? >> well, you know, i think -- you know, i don't know if you've been to one of the rallies or not. >> i have. >> you have? >> yes. >> i think you would agree, it's pretty amazing the energy that is there. and so i think he's tapped into something that none of the other candidates did. i think that people see that he loves being with them. he drives energy from that. and so it's to be able to capitalize on that energy, and the way that he's tapped into the american psyche during this race, and to do so and to build
10:12 pm
the momentum without committing any unforced errors, there are going to be a few obviously, i think that's the biggest thing to have to overcome. >> you said that donald trump has committed unforced errors on the campaign trail. others think that donald trump has said things that are just false. for instance, he keeps on saying he is on the record opposing the iraq war before the invasion. there is no record of that. do you have concerns that sometimes he plays fast and loose with the truth? >> look, we've got a candidate who has been a business person all of their life, which brings a lot of strengths as people look to washington to change this trajectory. again, i think you're going to see a lot of differences moving ahead, and i have to tell you, the character that's been portrayed of him, he's a
10:13 pm
different person than the public sees him to be, because of the unforced errors, i think they're working hard to put in place the kind of disciplines that are necessary in races like this, my first race i certainly wasn't near as good at the beginning of the race as i was at the end. >> but good and truthful are two different things, you served in business, being in business, you have to be honest and stick to the truth also. i'm wondering if you think he needs to work harder to stick to it? >> i think they have recognized over the last several weeks, they're moving into the general election. they're running against a professional campaign and group of people, they're making the adjustments they need to make to rise to that occasion. i hope they do, i know that they understand that, i think that they will. >> senator corker, thank you so
10:14 pm

10:18 pm
contractors, many of them small businesses took heavy losses and many themselves went bust. but donald trump, he walked away with millions. and here's what he says about the whole experience -- he actually brags about it. >> it remains to be seen whether this line of attack will is it stick. not necessarily on the merits, possibly because of the messenger and whether people will trust her. it's one of her biggest challenges and it's been years in the making. here's tom foreman. >> 2008 in the heat of the democratic primary. >> i remember landing under sniper fire, there was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, instead, we just ran with our heads down. >> good to see you. >> video of her smiling, shaking hands, posing for pictures proves the story is not true.
10:19 pm
and clinton backtracks. >> i made a mistake in describing it. >> so help me god. >> congratulations. >> almost since she came to washington, her trustworthiness has been under fire. amid stories of her role in real estate deals and firings at the white house. william sapphire called her a con genital liar. and time and again, her actions have given opponents ammunition. >> do you think new york state should recognize gay marriage. >> no. >> no? >> she opposed same sex marriage, then she backed it. >> i support marriage for lesbian and gay couples. >> the obama administration was saying the benghazi attacks grew from a spontaneous protest. the secretary of state privately e-mailed it was the work of an al qaeda like group. >> state department experts knew the truth, you knew the truth. >> well, congressman, there was a lot of conflicting
10:20 pm
information. >> a two-year congressional probe produced no evidence of overt wrongdoing, just as the fbi investigation into her e-mail produced no proof of a crime in what she has called a mistake. >> you defended president obama's immigration policies, now you say they're too harsh, you supported his trade deal dozens of times. now, suddenly last week, you're against it, will you say anything to get elected? >> i've been consistent over the course of my entire life. >> plenty of her supporters seem content with that, they note, anyone's political views can change. they dismiss many of her critics as political enemies just as she dismisses the idea that this could crater her campaign. >> would you vote for someone you don't trust? >> well, people should and do trust me. >> thank you. >> but polls show, most voters still do not. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> our thanks to tom. back now with our panel, joining the conversation, cnn senior
10:21 pm
political analyst david gergen, regional vice chair, a donald trump surrogate. i want to start with you, you get to this issue of trust, and you get to this issue of truth, and we talk about the e-mails and what director comb my announced yesterday. hillary clinton said she never sent or received classified e-mails, the fbi director said that's not the case. she never sent or received e-mails that were not marked classified. hillary clinton said she turned over all of her e-mails. that's not the case. this gets to the issue of trust. this gets to the issue of leveling with the american people. do you see how that is a problem for her and why she would need to address it more? >> on the e-mails in question, i think the campaign's been clear, they had not seen and i don't know if they have yet, the e-mails the director's referencing. we can't speak to what their response is on that, what the facts are on that from their perspective. not that they should have before
10:22 pm
the director's report, but that is the facts, we don't know what e-mails he's referring to yet. i think secretary clinton has herself recognized on the campaign trail that trust is an issue, she understands that, it's not surprising, after 30 years of a cottage industry attacking the clintons, but let's also recognize that donald trump has incredibly high negative numbers and also has incredibly high numbers of people believing he is not qualified to be president, that is never what we can say about hillary clinton. >> we don't need to see the e-mails to know what the fbi director said, which is that what she had climbed to the american people isn't true. that's according to what the fbi director said, christine quinn said something which you often hear from the clinton team, people don't trust her because of 30 years of a right wing attack. you actually worked in the clinton white house, you saw some of the attacks against them, but don't they bear
10:23 pm
responsibility? these attacks aren't coming out of thin air. look at the one about the e-mails, there are legitimate questions about whether she was telling the truth to the american people. >> they're legitimate facts. they're not legitimate attacks. i think she's been subjected over the years to a lot of illegitimate attacks, that had no basis. donald trump repeated that kind of thing today, when he repeated the attorney general of the united states was bribed by the clintons. there's no evidence of that, i should tell you, that not answering the charges from the fbi for a day and a half, saying nothing is very disappointing. a lot of americans would like to be able to vote for her, because they're not happy with donald trump. they would like to look to her for leadership and guidance, that's what they're not seeing, i think it's imperative. whatever you think about the facts, i think it's imperative she come forward and respond to and answer a lot of questions
10:24 pm
that were on people's minds. she was one of the highest ranking people in the world, who is being accused of being extremely careless about her national security secrets and running a state department that was extremely lax. she needs to respond to that. >> publicly? >> of course. >> i think she needs to sit down with journalists and have -- i'll answer all your questions to the best of my ability or she's going to have to go in front of one of these committees. either way, can she handle it? she showed in benghazi. >> you say there are illegitimate attacks. you agree there are legitimate questions, particularly in this case that she has not answered? >> absolutely. this was a tough report, yes, he came to the conclusion the fbi came to the conclusion they would not recommend prosecution. it was a scathing report. and news organization avenues organization has said basically, they blew holes in her story. they dismantled her story, whatever you want to say.
10:25 pm
a lot of people she is not above everybody else. she has to show, i get it, this is serious, this is a serious investigation. i think she's right. she's got a very good case. i think she needs to say, i want to get to the bottom of this, i want to answer questions. >> she may have a case, the fbi has a different version of the story than hillary clinton. >> i think we -- >> i want to bring john into this conversation. she doesn't give a lot of press conferences. that would be news in itself. you have been around for a long time, including in new york, where hillary clinton ran. there have been questions about the clintons for a long time. yet they keep on winning. you know, bill clinton won a lot of elections, hillary clinton won an election here in new york. she became secretary of state, she got through the benghazi hearings. most people think completely unscathed. why doesn't it stick? >> hillary clinton is not bill clinton first and foremost.
10:26 pm
what she's doing now is insulting to the american people. she's run this campaign in a controlled environment. she refuses to be accessible to the press. everything's controlled, she's the only one talking, she doesn't answer questions because she can't. she's dishornest. >> she was mayor of new york -- >> it's new york, it's tough. >> it didn't stick, you think this time will be different? >>. >> i do. the democratic party blocked everyone out. you have an open seat for president of the united states of america. and there were really only two candidates. and one of the candidates is a 70 some odd year old socialist. she really had no competition, it was a joke. the vice president decided not to seek the presidency. >> i don't actually -- >> we talked about this. >> i don't know what to say, who dispatched whom. you had four candidates. you had a jv team in this race. >> i don't know about that. >> there were four candidates in this race.
10:27 pm
two of them dropped out, bernie sanders for all intents and purposes is in this race. >> it's actually great. >> a hell of a new york primary. >> he won, but we ran a great new york primary. attacking and asailing someone's age is just disrespectful. >> i want to get back to -- >> hang on, i want to -- >> why zhou attack his age. >> it's a fact. >> hillary was a candidate. >> to be clear, hillary won new york soundly. number one. number two. she has won more votes in this election than anyone. >> including donald trump. >> hang on, i want to bring you in. >> and i would also add, going to the bernie sanders influence. he has influence and hillary's own policy background has influence. a democratic platform, that democrats across this country are going to be incredibly proud
10:28 pm
of don't talk to me about, we got everything everybody out of the race. we had a substantive. >> no one -- >> i have to -- i've been working very hard to get you to be a part of this. trust is seen as a vulnerable issue for hillary clinton. >> sure. the polls show it flat out clearly. is donald trump the right candidate to prosecute that issue? >> no. because -- why do you think there are people on my side of this who don't want donald trump as our nominee, are upset by the fact that we couldn't have a worse candidate, because he is such a liar. and he says things that are so belate an thely untrue. and that it's -- it's almost a wash, we're going into a general election now, where people have to choose between who is the least liar, that is awful for this country. you know, and it pains me we're in this position. donald trump has a huge deficit problem with the truth. >> no, on -- >> he's winning the trust issue. here's why my colleagues want to
10:29 pm
talk about bernie sanders, because -- >> you brought up the question. >> either hillary clinton is massively incompetent for not knowing the law or she deceived the american public. those are the two options. the deception argument is the much stronger one because she signed a nondisclosure agreement, agreeing she would suffer criminal charges if she mishandled classified information and sent a memo to state department employees saying remember, don't conduct state department business on private e-mails. >> david gergen agrees, she needs to answer, perhaps at a news conference, which we think would be a great idea. or an interview, very soon. guys, thank you very much. stick around, coming up, donald trump says saddam hussein was bad, very bad. but he was good at dilling terrorists, this is not the first time trump has expressed a
10:33 pm
10:34 pm
watch this. >> saddam hussein was a bad guy, right? he was a bad guy, really bad guy, you know what he did well? he killed terrorists. he did that so good, they didn't read him their rights, they didn't talk, they were terrorists, it was over. >> donald trump repeated again tonight that saddam hussein was bad, but he was good at killing terrorists. this is not the first or second time trump has expressed admiration for some of the behavior of some dictators. >> reporter: they are some of the most powerful and dangerous dictators around the world. and donald trump seems to be impressed. sure, he called north korean leader kim jong-un a maniac, but also called the killing of his political arrivals amazing. >> he goes in, he takes over, he's the boss. it's incredible. he wiped out the uncle, this one, that one. this guy doesn't play games.
10:35 pm
>> kim's uncle was accused of turning on the government, he disappeared suddenly and was later executed. still, trump has said he'd have no problem speaking with kim jong-un. then there's vladimir putin, he and donald trump have enjoyed a bit of a bromance for months. trump calling putin highly respected. and when asked about allegations that putin has had journalists and political opponents killed, trump defended him. >> he's running this country and at least he's a leader, unlike what we have in this country. >> trump has shown confidence in moammar gadhafi, even though he once criticized the u.n. and vowed to diaz a martyr rather than lose power. in 2011, trump said that gadhafi was slaughtering his citizens and the u.s. should knock him out. but later changed his tune. in february at a debate, long after gadhafi was shot dead by rebel forces, trump stunned many

when he applauded the former dictator's regime. >> we would be so much better off if gadhafi were in charge right now. >> the two have a history. in 2009 trump allowed his westchester estate to be rented to the libyan leader so he could stay outside in a ten the, even sacrifice a live lamb while in new york for the u.n. general assembly. gadhafi ended up not staying there, but as trump tells it, gadhafi paid him a fortune. trump has admired the tactics of the chinese government for its hand elling of the 1989 crack john in tiananmen square. hundreds of thousands of students were killed calling for a more democratic government. they were vicious, they were horrible, they put it down with strength. that shows you the power of strength. trump again called the crackdown horrible, but went on to refer to the protest as riots, which

tonight cnn has obtained new video in a police shooting. the images they are extremely graphic, you may want to ask any children to leave the room. the killing has set off a wave of outrage. here's martin savage with the latest. >> new video obtained by cnn begins with a two responding officers and 37-year-old alton sterling already struggling on the ground. shouts and then shots are heard. >> the camera jerks away, then returns, showing one officer lying on the ground beside a sprawled and unmoving sterling. another officer reaches down and takes an object out of sterling's pocket. that object was a gun. another video circulated on social media is 13 seconds longer. and starts earlier with the two
10:42 pm
baton rouge officers confronting the man in the red shirt. one of the officers pulls him over the hood of a car and pins him to the ground. a second officer attempts to assist in restraining sterling. someone shouts about a gun. one of the officers appears to draw his weapon. both videos only offer a fraction of the tragedy. and don't tell the whole story. before the videos, radio transmissions obtained by cnn showed police were dispatched to the convenience store after an anonymous 911 call reported a man threatening with a gun. >> he pulled a gun. he said he couldn't be around there. >> the convenience store owner said he let sterling sell cd's in front of the store and never had any problems. abdul was at his store when police arrived. >> first they slammed him on top of a silver car out here. >> he says the officers used a
10:43 pm
stun gun on sterling, then tackled him. then in the gunshot. >> after the guy -- >> the recordings capture the frantic officer calls. >> shots fired. >> sterling died on the scene, and according to the coroner, cause of death was due to multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and back. police have identified the two officers as blaine salamoni and howie blake ii. both men are now on administrative leave. as video of sterling's death spread on social media, it sparked outrage. >> hands up, don't shoot. >> the demonstrations could grow larger and violent. the u.s. justice department says it's taking the lead in the investigation into the officer's actions. while louisiana's governor is calling for calm.
10:44 pm
>> i'm urging everyone to remain peaceful. one thing is for sure, another violent act or destruction of property is not the answer. >> while videos of sterling's shooting have triggered many. they caused obvious heart break for his family. something painfully evident the mother of sterling's son, with the teen at her side. >> he is 15 years old. he had to watch this as this was put all over the outlets. and everything that was possible to be shown. >> it's tough to watch. martin savage joins us now from baton rouge. what's the reaction there tonight. >> the reaction has been mixed. a lot of outrage. tonight you have a lot of protests, it's the second night
10:45 pm
of protests, you can see, it's pretty vocal, there is a mixed crowd of different messages that are coming, some are proclaiming this has got to be peaceful, maintain order, keep the streets open, they haven't been able to do that, the crowd has been peaceful, order for the most part has been maintained, but as the night wears on, it is quite clear, this is a gathering point, one of sorrow and also one of tension, john. >> martin savage for us in baton rouge, thank you so much. much more ahead on this story. what we know so far, what should happen next, and what factors investigators will consider when evaluating the officer's actions. ♪not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider,♪ ♪yeaaahh... ♪but i'm not gonna let 'em catch me nooo♪ ♪not gonna let 'em catch the midnight riiiiiiiideer!♪

10:49 pm
including this new one obtained by cnn have surfaced of the shooting, they have fueled peaceful protests, the justice department is handling the investigation. joining me, cnn law enforcement analyst, harry houck. and mark o'meara. we've seen this video. we've sign the two officers on top of this man. you can't always tell everything from the video. from what you've seen, as you've looked at this, did these officer officers over react. >> the officers are both on top of mr. sterling, trying to fight with him. all right? mr. sterling did not comply with the officers, and, therefore, this altercation started. now, when they had him down on the ground, you're looking from that perspective on the video there, one of the officers yells
10:50 pm
that he's got a gun, the now, that right arm is near the right pocket where that weapon is. the officer with the police officer's weapon that is being put into the chest of mr. sterling is telling the man calm down, stop or you know what i'm going to do. at that time if you look at the other officer, he does not now have control of the right arm and those officers at that time believe their lives were in danger and mr. sterling was able to geet close to that weapon and they had to fire. if you look at the police officer's body language he still thinks he is in danger and maybe the suspect might now have the gun. final low the second officer takes the gun out of the pocket. >> there is now a federal investigation and the civil rights division will oversee it. the head of the naacp said it
10:51 pm
was an unnecessary loss of life. >> i can't litigate based on the video. i think we don't do the public any justice and we inflame rather than educate. there are things that you can't see in this video. he comes into contact with the officers. he is alive and shot at point blank range and killed. in addition that, there is one thing that nobody is commenting on. almost every case i have covered and i covered many of these cases of people killed by police. the with holding of the immediate administration to save the life because they are still alive. the video does not capture and i don't know what happens after the video goes soft, but they see hoe is still alive and remove whatever it is from his pocket that is the threat to them and still no one tries to stop the beating from his chest.
10:52 pm
this happens in the case of trayvon martin and jamir rice and garmin where they checked his pockets instead of administering cpr. what is it about these particular people that makes people lack the basic human empathy that would say even if i had to shoot you, i now see that you are incapacitated and can no longer harm me. the least i can do is try to keep you alive. >> harry, hang on. is there a way to get aid more quickly to people who have been shot like this? harry? you asking me? >> yes. >> as soon as they shot this man, mr. sterling, their next procedure is to handcuff him. when he is handcuffed, i can
10:53 pm
call the ems and i'm sure they are responding as soon as they called shots fired. they responded and i didn't see how fast they tried to get this man some kind of aid, but two police officers who are in the heat of it and you are fighting for your life and you fired shots, the two police officers might be shocked themselves. >> and we don't know what happens after the video and one of the issues i think are the officers fighting for their life. he is the disposition of the gun. the police afterwards today we heard in a news conference say the man was armed there. we did see a gun that appeared to be taken from his pockets after the shooting. if he did have a gun in his pocket, would that be enough to justify deadly force? >> it may be. our prayers to the family and community that this resolves
10:54 pm
itself with some peace. we have to be careful speculating and jumping to conclusions, but it will be frame boy frame. they come to the scene because somebody has been threatening somebody with a gun. that is their premises. >> wait a weekend. we are told he was brandishing a gun. i don't know that the word threatening was used. >> brandishing a gun. when a gun is involved, that is a deadly weapon and has to be addressed. they come to the scene and they do what they are allowed to do. get control of the situation. if he is resisting because he doesn't know why he is being stopped and harassed, none of less, they are the judges. we give cops that authority to get control of the situation. that's what they do. when thi get him down, as soon as they see the gun, it's apparent the gun was not out. if a cop sees the butt of a gun,
10:55 pm
that's a gun. if he doesn't have full control of his right hand, that situation has now gotten worse because a deadly weapon is in play. with the premises that he had it before, they see where it is. we are going to hear the cop's statement that they saw the butt of the gun. when that is in play, they have to be aware that that is a deadly force situation. that's why the one cop takes out his gun. unfortunately in the moment, in the split second a decision has to be made, if he is not compliant and they can't get his arm out or because of the slight resistance, they have to deal with the potential active weapon and that's what they did. unfortunately it seems as though the way it develops, quarter second by quarter second, there was not a lot more that could happen. one cop said he saw the gun and
10:56 pm
the other react to the fact that a gun was present. >> hold on. we have about 15 seconds left. the department of justice is overseeing this. is this the right authority? >> there is state violence and community violence. you want a situation where the vast majority who are doing the right thing trust them enough to be able to call and not being complicit in another person's death. that relationship is severely strained. >> thanks so much for being with us. we'll be right back.

>> that does it for us. thanks for watching. cnn with don lemon starts now. >> donald trump has one word for hillary clinton. >> these are all lies. lie, lie, lie. lie! dirty, rotten liar. >> that was the same word a lot of different times, but it's still one word. this is cnn tonight. clinton trying to turn the page and blasting trump today in atlantic city. >> remember what he promised. i'm going to do for the country what i did for my business.
11:01 pm
well, we should believe him and make sure he never has the chance to bankrupt america the way he bankrupted his businesses. >> not a word about her e-mail scandal on the eve of the testimony on capitol hill and on the day loretta lynch declares the case closed. confrontation with police in baton rouge, louisiana turns deadly. the whole thing caught on camera. now a black man is dead, shot multiple times in the chest and back by a white police officer. what really happened? we will discuss that, but we want to get to a big day on the campaign trail. we are here with more. good evening to you. attorney general loretta lynch said hillary clinton will not face charges. what's the latest? >> this is the official word in the wake of that meeting with bill clinton that loretta lynch
11:02 pm
had on the airplane, she intended to take the recommendation of what james comby, the fbi director said. whether there were charges or not. this is her making good on that promise of following the recommendation given yesterday. she released a statement saying in part, late this afternoon i met with the fbi director and career prosecutors and agents who conducted the investigation of secretary hillary clinton's use of a personal e-mail system during her time as secretary of state. i received accepted the unanimous recommendation of a year long investigation be close and that no charms be brought against any individuals within the scope of this investigation. this decision, this ultimate ruling by loretta lynch brings the legal concerns and by far does not end the political
11:03 pm
ramifications and they are very real and a big problem. >> it doesn't end that part. if donald trump held a rally, he covered a lot of ground. how is he reacting? >> this is giving him fresh political fodder. they referenced this and again going down and tripling down on his snake name for her. bringing up many times the meeting that he had and also picked up on reports and suggestions that hillary clinton could potentially keep loretta lynch if she were to win the presidency. >> the attorney general comes out and says no charges. that's bribery. she said she is going to reappoint the attorney general and the attorney general is waiting to make a determination as to whether or not she is guilty. and boy, was that a fast
11:04 pm
determination. wow. could have waited a little bit longer. don't just come out with one or two sentences. talk about it a little bit. >> trump using a big and loaded word, broibry. trump also seemed a little to try to course correct. he received a lot of criticism after yesterday holding a big rally in raleigh. he didn't seem to hone in on hillary clinton and the problems of the e-mails and the slap on the hand that was given yesterday. today he seemed to course direct and at times really try to read off of his notes that were on the podium. >> has she reacted to facing charges? >> she is really deflecting questions thrown at her by reporters when she was out in new jersey. she has remarkably been silent
11:05 pm
on this issue. her press secretary tweeting out the recommendations, this case is resolved. this is pretty much their message coming. they want to make sure that this signifies an end and they want to close the book and turn the page and move forward. that necessarily won't happen. james comby is on capitol hill tomorrow and will be testifying in front of the committee. there a lot of questions and there is an awareness that at some point she will come out and address this. and answer questions about this going forward. >> that's hanging over her head. the political and the trustworthy part. they are getting word of a sanders endorsement of clinton? >> there might be steps, but there a lot of ifs ands and buts.
11:06 pm
they are inching closer and potentially could be setting up a meeting tuesday in north carolina, but a lot of that hangs on the results of a meeting in orlando this weekend. the democratic platform is meeting there. >> thank you and appreciate it. now i want to bring in kevin madden, cnn contributor hillary rosen and jason osbourne, strategist for ben carson who now supports donald trump. jason first. let's get right to it. your reaction to the attorney general saying hillary clinton won't face charges. >> i can't say i'm not shocked. i think donald trump had a good point when he said the time period between the press conference yesterday and her deciding today she will not continue the charges was not shocking. she could have taken more time to make it appear fair. >> okay. >> why are you laughing?
11:07 pm
>> last week after bill clinton and loretta lynch met to exchange niceties about their grandchildren, the republicans went crazy saying oh, my god, the attorney general has to stay out of this and can't make a decision. she promised that she would take the recommendation of the prosecutors and the fbi in this case and not make independent decisions about the prosecution. now that they have done what they asked her to do last week, they are saying how could she do this so fast. she should have done more and rethought this. really, it's their turning this into a political decision and i think they will overplay this holding here and prosecuting on the hill. it seems like they are going to take this further and further. >> the sim question for kevin
11:08 pm
madden. why are you smiling? >> any time you have someone decrying politics, that means they are worried about the politics. hillary clinton may have gotten out of legal clearance, but she is very much on trial in the court of public opinion. what he did before he decided not to make the announcement that he was not going to pursue charges and not recommend charges or an indictment to the department of justice. he laid out a mountain of evidence that she had for the last talking points that they have been offering about her e-mails. the first that it was allowed and the second that the national security was never put in jeopardy. in his presentation of the facts, they demolished those. the public which already worried about hillary clinton and her level of honesty will continue
11:09 pm
to have the doubt fist donald trump can adequately prosecute her on the campaign trail. >> is that not the soap box from which republicans should be standing on the lack of being trustworthy? what james comby said in his estimation. it appears not telling the truth because she said no classification. instead of seemingly overplaying their hands. >> i agree with the first part. donald trump should be making this case every day and every way that hillary clinton is not trust worthy and lacks the judgment that the american people care about. >> does it seem like sour grapes when you say she should be charged and should have been charged when two people who are in charge said she will not be changed. that part is over. >> you appeal to the american
11:10 pm
public the facts that hillary clinton said she doesn't do anything wrong and never had classified information. that's where they should be. >> go ahead. >> as a practical matter, the attorney general of the united states and the director of the fbi who is a republican, by the way, has been bribed by hillary clinton. he is so far outside of what most moderate people think in this country that it's just -- he can't prosecute that case. i think that the reason he can prosecute it is because ultimately what comby said is we did not find any mal intent in her actions and there was no attempts at hiding anything. they were open and above
11:11 pm
transparent in doing so. there is something for everyone and it will be difficult for people to focus on that entirely. >> my question tonight with this panel is why are you laughing now? why are you laughing? let me say this and then you can tell me. elijah cummings was reacting to house republicans and the decision to bring in director comby to testify. republican after republican praised the impeccable record until the moment he issued his conclusion. since they disagree, they are doing what they always do, using taxpayer funds to continue investigating to bring down secretary clinton's poll numbers. the only emergency is another experience theory is slipping away. jason, is he calling out a political motive. what is your take? >> i think it will be interesting to see how the
11:12 pm
questions proceed during the hearing. i think there is a legitimate interest in the fact that he interpreted the law further than what congress had done. the reason i'm laughing is the transparency argument is ridiculous. if you look at the tale of two press conferences, they list five lies that hillary told over the last year. one said repeatedly that she turned over all work-related e-mails. he said that's not true. she also said she only used this one device for convenience's sake. she used several devices. >> what's your argument? she should have prosecuted or she is not trustworthy? >> my argument and there is a danger that trump can overplay his happened is that the changes
11:13 pm
need to be brought. the argument is an honesty argument and we need to reinforce that this is a woman who the fbi director said repeatedly at least five lies throughout the course of 16 months. >> he didn't say that. >> yes, he did. if you read the reporter or listen to the press conference he did say she lied several times. the point is that hillary clinton has an honesty problem. for her to go after donald trump on honesty issues is like living in a glass house. >> i don't think he said she lied, but through his words saying some things marked classified. he is making the assumption. >> he said they should have known they were classified. that's different. she said i didn't know. >> extreme negligence in mishandling. >> if you are the secretary of
11:14 pm
state and every e-mail you have is going through this one server. >> extreme carelessness, he had to go back. i have to take a break. thank you is what we say. but we mean so much more. we mean how can we help? we mean what can we do? we mean it's our turn. to do our part. to serve you, for all you've done to serve us. ♪

outrage for this disney book. is this the star of david? excuse me. hillary, what do you say about this? he is saying where is the outrage on this frozen thing. there is no controversy and there is no money and people. where is the controversy. >> i do believe trump loves his son in law and daughter is a jew now. he has run a divicive campaign of an us versus them. he exhibited significant racist insensitivities against muslims and african-americans. he is against lgbt people. he has been a divicive figure. the reason this tweet became an issue is because people believe that he is capable of insighting

11:23 pm
kevin, please go. >> yes, he should have apologized. he never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. hillary clinton had the worst four days of her campaign if donald trump was focussed on elevating on her trustworthiness and honesty was in question because of the press conference, but he is offering one distraction after the next. if it's not the tweet that is lifted from a white supremacist or anti-semitic sites, it is praising saddam hussein's actions when he was a dictator. these cannot continue if he is going to unite the republican party and win in november. those are easy answers. >> you are so awesome. thank you so much. it's just that easy to be honest. just be honest and say what is right. thank you. thank you, hillary and jason and i appreciate you coming on.

11:39 pm
we can't always pause in the community, but i admire it and i am so pleased with what our governor is doing. last night they got me on the phone and we wanted to hear about the case and two of the invest getters sat in at the request of the district attorney and asked me if i could be a part of that. we met back in the governor's office and within an hour, he talked to the justice department and the fbi and walter green with the u.s. attorney's office. i know these people well and i know what they are going to do. they are going to follow the facts and our governor is meeting with about 50 faith-based community leaders and he is telling them go back to the community. and the police department and the sheriff's department make sure the individuals want to do memorials and stand ins and
11:40 pm
whatever. >> they are going to give it to them. >> we had limited time with them. let's talk about the shooting and i want you to walk us through. i want to you play audio from the police dispatch. let's play that audio. >> a suspicious call off of fairfield. he is the complain ant. >> they get a call saying he was brandishing a gun. then what happens? walk us through the video. officers come up with the scene and what happens? >> i have got to be careful because i'm going to be with that investigation with the fbi. i have seen the tape and you heard the comments. i want to make sure i am unbiassed. my guys have been part of that investigation and we offered
11:41 pm
that same assistance with the fbi. you are seeing the trained professional group of individuals and the department is going to the scene to answer a call. what you see and what they will have to be able to quantify and justify is the actions that took place after that. that's what they will be doing. the fbi and the justice department will take the facts and apply them to law. what was the justification based on the actions. >> when you look at the video, from what you have seen, there is video here and we have limited time and there is a pause. i want to get this in. if you look at the video and see the officers's actions and there is audio and enhanced audio from the body cameras that fell off, but it's still going. do the officers act too aggressively from what you see now? >> that's what they are going to have to justify. they have to talk about their
11:42 pm
actions. i need to be careful in and what i'm saying. we will be a part of it. it speaks for itself and the public certainly is seeing a part of what happened out of there. you have to put the rest of that piece and i have full faith that the fbi will do that. >> he did have a gun, correct? >> it was reported to us and he did have a gun and there was one found at the scene. that was correct and i have to make sure the comments talked about the facts in the case. i don't want to mess up the video. >> the police chief went to the same high school and we graduated a year apart. i know him. i know the attorney and i know the councilman and the mayor. one is a friend of the family. i know. be honest with me hare. license to carry. was it a registered gun? >> that we do not know at this
11:43 pm
time. nor do we know that they had the title carry the gun. it was concealed on his person. that much we do know and i'm sure the facts will come out and we will follow him. >> from what i'm told is that everyone in the community know this is man. my nieces know this man. one of my nieces know his aunt. he has always been nice. he held cds and dvds. he is out there all the time. everyone knows him and he is in an area where he may have felt uh safe and may have had the gun. it doesn't appear he has a history of a violent past. he is not a violent person. >> a lot of that stuff is speculation. we don't know his exact past and we have to get his record to see what is on there. all the things are things we to
11:44 pm
have to get to see where it follows us. i can assure you that. >> why no medical assistance that we see in the video? >> i heard the tape and they called for 911. as far as the actions there at the scene, they are going to have to articulate what the actions were and why they happened. that i can assure they will get to the bottom of it. we will be a part of that. i have been in this community for 36 years. i understand that and my wife went to the same high school you do. i know the chief and the sheriff and the district attorney. they want to get to the bottom of it. we are so pleased when the governor said we will get to the bottom of it and be transparent and find out what happened and tell the public what happened. they deserve and they have a right to know. >> again, calling for calm and peace and it appears to be peaceful now. let's hope it stays that way. i appreciate you coming out and please come back as the case
11:45 pm

answers tonight about the deadly police shooting of a louisiana man alton sterling. his aunt, sandra sterling, joins me now along with the attorney for the family. edmund is also a friend of my aunt's, who is part of my family, who is a councilman in west baton rouge. thank you for coming out and sandra, i'm so sorry for your loss. i spoke with quinnetta earlier, but she said she hadn't eaten so couldn't come on. i would ask you how you're doing but i understand you passed out because you hadn't eaten and you hadn't slept. so tell us about the family. >> we were at -- before today everybody was in a calm, but i don't know if you know a second video surfaced. >> yes.
11:50 pm
>> with the second video, in my mind i was thinking and hoping that he died peacefully and instantly. no, he didn't. he suffered. he was reaching out and talking. it killed me inside. >> he was known as the cd man, right? >> yes. >> when you looked at that video, and i know it's tough for someone who is not even involved, what did you think, the police actions, did it warrant what happened? >> the second video? >> yes, ma'am. >> the second video, while he was dying they were pointing at him their guns and i seen him dying and i seen his
11:51 pm
hand reach up as if he was grabbing for somebody and he said something until his hand went down and that was it. everybody walked away. >> i got to ask you about the gun. what do you think? >> i didn't see a gun. i saw a phone come out of his pocket. that's what i saw, a phone. where'd that gun come from? get some prints off it. i don't think he had a gun. >> you never seen him with a gun? >> no. he don't have a gun. he don't own a gun. >> what about his demeanor as a person? because we understand, this is part of the reporting, we have to report, there is a criminal history. there's also people are asking about something in his past that has to do with someone who is underage but that underage person happens to be the mother of his son who spoke today, correct? >> right.dmond, you want to folp
11:52 pm
on that? >> i mean, look, don, you know it's a public record, but she was under age, they were a few years apart but still under louisiana law, it was a statutory crime. but they had a relationship which continued through the co-parenting of their son up until his death. so to try to use that to make it out to be something more than what it was or to paint him in some negative light is certainly unfair. and i would tell you it's certainly not relevant to this matter. >> you're absolutely right. it's not relevant. this has nothing to do with this case, but people are asking about it and i thought it was best to clear that up to get it out of the way and to deal with it. so here's my thing.
11:53 pm
>> and i appreciate that. >> so here's my thing. do you know -- why the call to the convenience store about brandishing a gun? what happened? >> well, what i'll tell you is this, i am not sure what that is. i think i heard you speak to the colonel and talk about the area was being unsafe. so if that guy was not supposed to be around that area, you know, it almost seems like he was protecting the store and the store owner. now, whether he had a gun or he had a phone and he made the individual think he had a gun, i don't know. but i can tell you from all accounts that there were no violent encounters or even arguments or altercations that happened in the hours before the police officers arrived. so why that individual made that
11:54 pm
call, look, we don't know. i wish we knew who the anonymous caller was so we could get down to the bottom of it. but nevertheless, if the call was made and that's what he reported, i can tell you that there's nothing that i saw in that video that warranted mr. sterling being shot at least four times at point blank range like that. >> according to police, they say he did have a gun, it was a handgun. of course the investigation is not complete yet. but i want to play this, and i know it's disturbing for our viewers. i want to warn you. this is the video, the second video, sandra, that you mentioned. here it is. >> [ bleep ].

>> get on the ground! [ gunshot ] >> shots fired, shots fired. >> sorry you have to sit here and listen to this, but you said there is -- the video shows there is no justice for your nephew and that he did not have a chance, sandra, when you look at that. >> he didn't. in the first video and definitely in the second video. he's a big guy. when they tased him in the first video, i can hear him asking him what did i do? because he was still trying to figure out what did i do? you charged me with a gun, you came at me with a gun. what did i do? nobody explained it to him. he was trying to figure out what did i do?
11:56 pm
>> his son broke down at the press conference today. how is he doing? >> he's good. he's good. he's coping. >> sandra, thank you. give our best to quinnetta. and thank you, edmond, i appreciate it. >> thank you again, don, we appreciate it. >> we'll be right back. ♪sorry i'm not love ♪ ♪i'm leaving in my thoughts

see the secret life of pets, in theaters july 8th. almost two years after the shooting of michael brown in ferguson, missouri, history appears to repeat itself in baton rouge, louisiana. we will bring you the latest on the killing of 3-year-old alton sterling by police. and breaking news of yet another controversial shooting of an african-american man in minnesota. plus, it's already dealing with street crime, pollution, and the spread of the zika virus. but with four weeks to go until the olympics, is rio prepared for international terrorism? we've got expert analysis on that. hello and welcome to our viewers
12:01 am
here in the united states and around the world. i'm rosemary church at cnn world headquarters in atlanta. this is "cnn newsroom." and we begin this hour with two shootings in the united states. both involved police and the death of an african-american man. in just a moment, we will have the latest fallout on the incident in louisiana in the southern u.s. but amid the anger there, we got word of another shooting, this one in minnesota, and we want to go to a news conference on this right now. let's have a listen. >> on the evening of 7-6-2016 at approximately 9:00 p.m., a st. anthony police officer affected a traffic stop. during the stop, shots were fired.
12:02 am
one adult male was taken to the hospital. we have been informed that this individual is deceased. no one else was injured, and the bca has been called in to investigate this officer-involved shooting. a hand gun was recovered from the scene. the bca will be providing additional information as their investigation progresses. the officer involved in this incident has been put on standard paid administrative leave. i thank you all for coming in at this hour, and have a good morning. thank you. >> all right. we were listening there. this is the latest fatal shooting linked to a traffic stop this time. it was a very short news conference there in minnesota, and we had learned there that shots were fired at a traffic
12:03 am
stop and an african-american man was taken to the hospital and he died as a result of this traffic stop. now, at this point, we do understand that there was an incident. we know that the woman involved in the car, she was with a child, as well. and she took some video and posted that on facebook. we must warn you, the video is graphic and may be very upsetting. but we're showing the video to you because the woman who shot it clearly wanted people to see what happened. she and her daughter were passengers in this car. the woman says her boyfriend was driving when they were pulled over for a traffic stop. now, reynolds started live streaming the stop on face pook, and this is what happened. >> stay with me. we got pulled over for a busted taillight in the back and the police [ bleep ], he's covered,
12:04 am
he killed my boyfriend. he's licensed to carry. he was trying to get out his i.d. and his wallet out his pocket and he let the officer know that he was -- he had a firearm and he was reaching for his wallet. and the officer just shot him in his arm. we're waiting -- i will, sir. i will. he just shot his arm off. we got pulled over -- >> i told him not to reach for it. i told him to get his hand up. >> you told him to get his i.d., sir. oh, my god, please don't tell me he's dead. please don't tell me my boyfriend just went like that. >> keep your hand where is they are. >> yes, i will, sir. i'll keep my hands where they are. please don't tell me that he's gone, lord. please don't tell me that he's gone. please, officer, don't just tell me that you just did this to
12:05 am
him. you shot four bullets into him, sir. he was just getting his license and registration, sir. >> get the female passenger out. >> get out of the car with your hands up. exit now! keep them up! >> where is my daughter? you got my daughter? >> face away from me and walk backwards towards me. >> keep walking, keep walking. keep walking. get on your knees, get on your knees. >> extraordinary and distressing footage there. an incredibly composed lavish reynolds there, recording that incident there where her husband were pulled over by traffic
12:06 am
police and her boyfriend i should say was shot four times from her reporting on that. now, as you heard from the news conference that we brought you just moments ago, police say that man, who was involved there, was shot and did die from his injuries once he was taken to hospital. no one else was injured. but a hand gun was found at the scene. and police say they are investigating what happened. and lavish reynolds, she took that -- she was streaming that video and she put it on facebook. now, the u.s. justice department is also investigating another case causing outrage. police shot and killed alton sterling outside a louisiana convenience store. several people recorded that scene. we want to warn you as well that the video is very graphic and disturbing. martin savidge reporting from baton rouge.
12:07 am
>> reporter: new video obtained by cnn begins with the two responding officers and 37-year-old alton sterling already struggling on the ground. shouts and then shots are heard. [ gunfire ] the camera jerks away, then returns, showing one officer lying on the ground besides a sprawled sterling. another officer reaches down and takes an object out of sterling's pocket. witnesses say it was a gun. another video is 13 seconds longer and starts earlier with the two baton rouge officers confronting a man in a red shirt identified as sterling. one officer pulling him over the 450d of a car and pins him to the ground. a second officer attempts to assist in restraining sterling. seconds later, someone shouts about a gun. an officer appears to draw his weapon. neither video tells the whole story.
12:08 am
transmissions obtained by cnn show police were distached there after a 911 call reported a man threatening with a gun. the convenience store owner says he let sterling sell cds in front of the store and never had any problems. abdul was at his store when police arrived. >> first they slammed him on top of the silver car. >> reporter: he said the officers used a stun gun, then tackled him. then came the gunshots. >> after the cop went inside his pocket to pull it out. >> reporter: after the shooting, radio recordings captured the frantic officer calls. >> shots fired, shots fired. >> copy, shots fired. [ indiscernible ] >> reporter: sterling died on the scene. cause of death was due to multiple gunshot woulds to the
12:09 am
chest and back. the two officers have a combined seven years on the force. both are on administrative leave. as video spread on social media, it sparked outrage. >> hands up, don't shoot. >> reporter: amidst fears the demonstrations could grow larger and violent, the u.s. justice department is taking the lead into the investigation, while louisiana's governor is calling for calm. >> i'm urging everyone to remain peaceful. one thing is for sure, another violent act or destruction of property is not the answer. >> reporter: while videos of sterling's shooting have triggered anger in many, they've caused obvious heartbreak for his family. something evident as the mother spoke at a news conference with the teen at his side. >> he's 15 years old. he had to watch this, and this
12:10 am
is put all over the outlets, and everything that was possible to be shown. >> i want daddy. >> reporter: the involvement of federal investigators is something that many protesters wanted, but they admit it's just the beginning. back to you. >> now, as martin mentioned, protests and vigils have popped up across the u.s. in alton sterling's memory. this one in ferguson, missouri. it's a city rocked by violence after police killed an unarmed black teenager back in 2014. police in philadelphia arrested about a dozen protesters wednesday after they blocked highway traffic, and demonstrations in baton rouge have been largely peaceful. an artist painted a mural during one of them in honor of his memory. joining me now to talk more about the shooting death of
12:11 am
alton sterling is criminal defense attorney paige. thank you for coming in and talking with us. the videos that we've seen are disturbing. we have two police officers on top of mr. sterling, and he's shot at point blank range. what is your reading of what played out? >> we haven't talked to all of the witnesses, but having watched both of these videos, it is a clear case of excessive force. i've represented police officers in cases like this where they have used force against an individual that they were trying to arrest or trying to apprehend, and the key legal question is, does that individual, mr. sterling in this case, present an immediate threat to the officer or some other individual in the area? if there is no immediate threat, if that person doesn't have a gun out and is about to shoot, then you cannot use deadly force. so i think what we've seen from this video is excessive force, because they shot him and they killed him when he was completely immobl.
12:12 am
>> now, the justice department is handling this. how do you think they'll proceed going forward? >> well, the justice department will come in as an independent agency to look at this. there's a u.s. attorney's office there in baton rouge. but i expect the investigation will be run out of the justice department in d.c. the fbi will talk to the witnesses and the officers, if the officers want to cooperate. they don't have to. if it's a criminal investigation, they have a fifth amendment privilege not to talk to law enforcement. we don't know at this point if the officers are going to make a statement about what happened. >> as you say, you've dealt with cases like this. how should the police have dealt with this particular situation? >> well, the first thing you want to do when you arrive on the scene, you want to assess whether or not that person is an immediate danger to anyone. do you see a firearm? is he making moves or gestures
12:13 am
in a violent or tumultuous manner towards someone? but from what we saw in the video, when they approached this individual, you couldn't see a weapon and he wasn't moving towards anyone. he appeared to be posing no harm to anyone. so once contained, and you know there's no harm, then you can approach him, question him, if necessary, and if you believe he's committing a crime, if you find a gun on him and it turns out he's a convicted felon, then you can arrest him. but there's no reason for deadly force if he's not posing an immediate threat to you. >> we see this same situation play out a number of times across the united states. what is the problem here? is there a problem with the training of police in these sorts of situations? do people panic? do the police just not know how to handle some of these situations? >> i think it's a little bit of both. and then i also think there's -- i hate to say it, but an undercurrent of racism in some
12:14 am
law enforcement agencies across the united states. i've seen that personally in my practice. and i don't think you can have any other conclusion after watching this video other than these officers did not treat this man as they should have. now, was that based on their own prejudices or their fear, their panic? maybe they were poorly trained. but they've all been in law enforcement for several years. both officers who were directly involved in the use of force, they're not new cops. they've been on the force for a period of time. you would expect them to be better trained. >> page pate, thank you for talking with us. hours from now, the fbi director will testify before a congressional committee. he's expected to explain his recommendation that no criminal charges be filed against hillary clinton in relation to her e-mails.
12:15 am
the attorney general has accepted that recommendation and closed the year-long investigation. loretta lynch will also testify before house lawmakers next week. so far, the presumptive democratic nominee has said nothing publicly about the fbi's investigation, but she had plenty to say about her opponent, slamming donald trump and his business record. brianna keilar has the details. >> reporter: as hillary clinton tries to highlight donald trump's business failures in new jersey -- >> what he did here in atlantic city is exactly what he will do if he wins in november. >> reporter: she's still facing criticism over her e-mail practices, despite the fbi's recommendation not to prosecute. the gop is on the offensive. >> director comey's presentation shredded the claims that secretary clinton made throughout the year with respect to this issue. the dni, clapper, should deny
12:16 am
hillary clinton access to classified information during this campaign. >> reporter: the republican national committee calling out clinton's initial inaccurate statement with a new web video. >> i did not e-mail any, um, classified material to anyone on my e-mail. >> 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information. >> reporter: and house republicans have called fbi director james comey to testify to explain why the government isn't charging clinton. donald trump -- >> she lied! >> reporter: -- is sitting clinton from the trail as she tries to shift the focus back to his record in atlantic city where three of trump's four bank result sis affected businesses. >> contractors, many of them small businesses, took heavy losses and many themselves went bust. but donald trump, he walked away with millions.
12:17 am
and here's what he says about the whole experience. he actually brags about it. >> reporter: her campaign is unveiling an online video about how his companies and bankruptcies hurt small businesses. >> a lot of people that helped business the taj were stiffed, just got 30 cents on the dollar. >> these were small businesses, so you don't pay a $100,000 bill, it puts them out of business. >> reporter: trump responded on twitter, blaming local democratic leaders, saying even the once great ceasar's is bankrupt. others to follow. ask the democrat city council what happened to atlantic city. brianna keilar, cnn, washington. and as clinton slammed trump's business record, he rallied with a potential running mate. former house speaker newt gingrich joined trump on stage in ohio wednesday night. trump's campaign has been quiet about who he'll pick and when. the two possible vps have already fallen by the wayside. iowa senator joni ernst told
12:18 am
trump she's focused on her state. and tennessee senator bob corker said he's better suited for other jobs. meantime, donald trump is firing back at the criticism he's received for tweeting an image many are calling anti-semitic. donald trump also used a reference to a disney movie to defend it on twitter, tweeting where is the outrage for this disney book? is this the star of david also? dishonest media. hillary clinton's primary rival bernie sanders is applauding a new plan that could make college more affordable. sanders said he supported the proposal wednesday. he and clinton spoke about it before the announcement. sanders has not formally backed clinton as the democratic party nominee. he was booed during a meeting with democratic lawmakers for not doing so. well, olympics organizers say a terror attack is unlikely

12:23 am
we are following a developing story out of bangladesh. gunmen have opened fire on police at a security checkpoint near a prayer congregation of about 100,000 people. the crowd was gathering to celebrate the muslim holiday. cnn's alexandra field joins us. so what do we know about this attack less than a week after the dhaka cafe attack that killed more than 20 people? >> reporter: rosemary, right now police are saying they have the group of attackers surrounded inside a house, after the attackers approached this security gate about a kilometer away from the country's largest prayer gathering to mark the end of the holiday. officials are saying there were some 300,000 people there to pray. no civilians were injured. however, ten police officers
12:24 am
have been injured. one police officer has been killed. one attacker has been killed. the rest remain surrounded. investigators say the attackers approached security armed with guns and also hurling explosives, rosemary. >> alexandra, the bangladeshi government has denied to this point that isis is evident in its country. what do government authorities say about this now, given this is playing out? >> reporter: look, because this is still ongoing, they say it is too early to try to determine who the attackers are. but we know that isis has called for attacks during the holy month of ramadan. they claimed responsibility for the attack that happened in dhaka last week. and these are two different styles of attacks. the attack last week were against mostly foreigners inside a restaurant here in dhaka, an affluent area, a diplomatic
12:25 am
enclave. the target today, this ead gathering, 300,000 muslims would have been in attendance. the attack happened on the police stationed outside there. as you point out, government officials have said that they don't believe isis operates in bangladesh. they said that in the aftermath of the attack at that restaurant, and they have said that after a series of attacks targeting specific people who have been hacked to death in bangladesh over the last year or two, despite the fact that isis has claimed responsibility for some of those killings. instead, rosemary, what we continue to hear from government officials is they believe that domestic terror groups are behind these killings. [ sirens ] >> alexandra field joining us there from dhaka. of course, as this is still playing out, we know at this point some 300,000 people were praying there, and this group of attackers have been surrounded. one policeman has been killed, one attacker killed.

>> exit the car right now with your hands up. exit now! face away from me and walk backwards towards me. keep walking. keep walking, keep walking. get on your knees. >> please don't tell me he's dead. please, jesus, no! please, no! please, no, don't let him be gone, lord. police car. phil's sister, call me. the police just shot my boyfriend for no apart reason. my phone is about to die. they shot him three times, because we had a busted taillight. he asked him for license and
12:34 am
registration. he told him that it was in his wallet, but he had a pistol on him because he's licensed to carry, and the officer told him don't move, and as he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot him in his arm about four or five times. >> lavish reynolds telling her story there. and in a news conference earlier this hour, police said the man who was shot in that video did die from his injuries. no one else was injured, but police say a hand gun was found on the scene, and that they are investigating what happened. the u.s. justice department is also investigating the deadly shooting of a black man by a white police officer in louisiana. alton sterling's death tuesday was caught on several cameras. police were responding to an emergency call about a man with a gun. the officers have been placed on leave, which is standard after police involved shootings.

we'll continue to follow both of those stories. but meantime, with the olympic games less than a month away, rio is now bolstering its sturt. the country is on high alert, after an isis fighter claimed brazil would be a terror target. nick paton walsh was there as police practiced. >> reporter: the unthinkable, brazilian special forces move in, an attack on a subway. the gunman taken down. this drill bolstered by training from french s.w.a.t. team specialists. they're hoping this won't happen, but preparing in case it does. the threat against the brazilian olympics, always hanging in the background. on display to the media to show
12:36 am
that a country with virtually no history of dealing with terrorism is vigilant enough to hold safe games. >> there's no specific threat, and you have to prepare for a great specter of threats. >> reporter: screening the names of people who bought tickets? >> always, not just us. other countries are helping us. they are screening the names and the people who are visiting us. >> reporter: this is the contradiction here in rio, with just weeks to go until south america's first olympics. one official told me yes, the games are a potential target, because they are a huge international sporting event. and isis do have foreign fighters still on the loose. but at the same time, also maybe they're not. brazil lacks the extremist networks that terrorists rely upon to launch such an attack. there has been one odd threat, however. one french isis fighter tweeting off the paris attacks that brazil was next. several isis fighters seen in
12:37 am
their propaganda speak portugue portuguese. brazil's intelligence agency said in april that the threat and number of brazilians influenced by isis ideology had increased in recent months, but insisting the games were not threatened. a country struggling with a difficult balance between vigilance and a warm welcome, headed into the unknown. nick paton walsh, cnn, rio de janeiro, brazil. joining me now to talk more about this is terror and security expert david kennedy. thank you so much for being with us. as we just heard in that report from nick paton walsh, and isis fighter declared brazil next. how concerned should we be? and is brazil prepared to deal with a terror attack given it's clearly struggling already to stop theft and other crime on the streets right now. >> what's interesting with
12:38 am
brazil is that they have one of the highest homicide rates across the entire world, just from a crime perspective. gun battles, fights and things like that. terrorism hasn't been one of their strong points or having to deal with it. this is definitely a credible threat. they've seen a lot of increased activity about extremists becoming loyal to isis. they're expecting over 500,000 tourists coming in, and trying to discern which one would be possibly loyal to isis or ones that are already inside of brazil, specifically rio, is very challenging for them and something that should be a big concern for most folks there. >> absolutely. it goes without saying that the olympic games are a potential target for any terror group. how big a threat is this portuguese speaking isis community that's been launched online? >> definitely. when you can speak a native language and blend in with your
12:39 am
sou surroundings, it's something that is very concerning. you've seen it a lot with the paris attacks and other locations in the eu, as well as within the united states. so you look at rio as a prime example of that where they might be able to radicalize individuals within brazil itself to launch and carry out these types of attacks. it's something that brazil recognizes as being a very big concern of theirs. but at the same time, having been traditionally taught to be able to handle these situations in the past, so it's something they may be unprepared for and seems to be based on all of the violence we're seeing erupting in rio, as well as the homicide rates and everything else, something that would be a major concern of mine, especially from a terrorism perspective. >> the 1972 summer olympics came to be known as the munich massacre when members of the black september palestinian terrorist organization killed two israeli athletes and of course, the remaining hostages were slain in that failed rescue
12:40 am
attempt. it shocked the world, of course. how concerned should the international community be that the rio games could be vulnerable to just such an attack? what security measures are in place to stop an attack of that magnitude? >> talking upwards of 35,000 security guards just in the general vicinity just to protect the olympic games themselves. which is a good statistic to see that they're going to have a large amount of force-out there to protect from something like that occurring again. at the same time, though, you have somebody that's inside already that could do these type of hostage situations, that's something you need to be prepared for from a -- from a counterterrorism perspective. and that's something that you see the brazilian police focusing on, as well as their counterterrorism units. but the police did say most recently in the news, that they will not be able to guaranty public safety, which that statement alone to me would be a very large concern if you have the police making statements they can't guaranty the safety

300 kilometers per hour. but 400 tropical storms made landfall in recorded history. but since 1950, only 18 of them have been category 4s or 5s. this particular one would come in tonight as number 19. so talk about the rarity of such a strong storm system. and the population density of taiwan is far fewer than say on the opposite end of the island, but i want to show you the geographical perspective as we go in towards the island of taiwan. it's home to some of the highest mountains in the world. some 300 mountains dot the island right there rising to 4,000 meters high. take a look at the perspective, one of these communities right there on the immediate coast. it is these communities we know about 70,000 people are going to be in the direct path of where some of those coastal communities are. that's where we think the storm

ten minutes. two successive goals from portugal. five minutes towards the end, they headed for the door. but this is not a failure for this welsch team and their fans. there is an immense amount of pride for the fans we have spoken to here tonight. and what this team have achieved. no one thought a semifinal result would be possible for these welschmen. they defeated belgium, northern ireland. they qualified from the group stage. that is better than england, than spain, than italy. who would have thought that at the start of the competition? now this team will go on, they will attempt to qualify in two years' time at the world cup, 2018 in russia knowing that they are as good as some of the best footballing nations in the world. >> and of the wimbledon championship, two tennis greats survived nerve-racking matches and moved to the semifinals.

12:55 am
will be taking place tomorrow in warsaw. she made the case that nato is needed more than ever now. she cited the ukraine conflict for example, but also the refugee crisis and said that nato has a role to play in helping to resolve all of these. she specifically mentioned that in the warsaw summit, there will be the announcement of more forward deployment of rapid reaction forces, nato forces, in poland in particular, in eastern europe. this is something that we've already been seeing with, for example, the missile defense shield being posted in romania and parts of poland and russia has taken great imbarrage to seeing those rockets being put in place. so she said diplomacy and dialogue are key here and that this sort of rocket deterrent in eastern europe is not directed at russia, but instead the need for dialogue exists, and there should be no consider thing as an upset of the balance of power
