rodriguez. four years ago he admitted using steroids from 2001 to 2003. ryan braun another name, braun of course was suspended 50 games for failing a drug test. but he became the first player to successfully file an appeal and have it reversed. braun isn't talking and yankees say a-rod isn't either. >> i will not make any further statements about it. the truth has not changed. i don't know the specifics of the story that came out today. but i've already addressed it, already commented on on on it. >> other players reportedly involved, melky cabrera, colon and gonzalez. cabrera and colon both suspended last season for doping. 100 games is punishment for second offense. mlb reportedly feels the connection to bosch is a first offense and previously denying taking peds makes the second. >> anna, thank you. time now for your five at 5:00.

new overnight, a brand new report with shocking information about classified details that were used for zero dark 30. >> you really believe this story? osama bin laden? >> according to the project on government oversight, inspector general is sitting on a report that former defense secretary leon panetta did disclosed top secret details two years ago. this reportedly happened at a ceremony where one of the fell him ma filmmakerses was. the report says panetta recognized the unit behind the raid and the ground commander by name. panetta wouldn't comment. a suburban new york may be a drug dealing mom like on we"we " "weeds". >> away we grow. >> well, here in new york, 45-year-old andrea sanderlin busted if alledgedly running a $3 million pot growing operation

from a warehouse in queens. police say they seized more than 1,000 pot plants from the site and large quantities of dried marijuana. sanderlins they say intended to distribute. the mother of two girls faces up to ten years in prison. a 15-year-old revived after spending 30 minutes under the water. the oregon teenager was with a group of friends when he jumped into the river despite not knowing how to swim. >> they put his hand on the shoulder and are you going to jump in? he was like why not and jumped in because what he was thinking was he jumped in, it was shallow enough for him to test. and he went back under. >> the teenager currently in critical condition. doctors think the cool temperatures of the water allowed the boy's body to slow down long enough to keep him alive for so long. 30 minutes. in just a few hours, a judge in the ft. hood massacre trial will rule on on army major nidal

hasan's request for another trial delay. jury selection was scheduled to start today. hasan says he needs a three month delay to prepare for his defense. survivors outraged now that hasan plans to argue he was defending the taliban. hasan telling the court, quote, the leadership of the taliban was immediate danger -- in immediate danger from troops at ft. hood because the u.s. has attacked and continued to attack the taliban. well, lindsey vonn forced to undergo a mandatory drug test. that whole incident happening at the council of fashion designers america awards on monday night. according to the new york "post," vonn was actually on the red carpet, then she got a call that several drug testers were at the glamorous event waiting for her outside. reports say the ioc then tested her sample right on the spot and told her to have fun after she passed the drug test.

vonn is training for next year's winter olympics in russia. and that is your five at 5:00. well, now a fox business alert. in a rare move, chrysler ignoring a government's order to recall more than 2 million older model jeeps because of concerns about fires like the one you see there. so how can they do this? and is this a sign that the government is just too involved? lauren simonette joins us. >> yeah, this is a big one. chrysler versus the u.s. government. national highway safety administration opened an investigation into jeeps back in 2010. looking at the design of its fuel tanks concluding that they're below the rear bumper and behind the rear axle, so more susceptible to rupture and gas leaks. they sent a letter to cries ter willing them to recall 2.7 million grand cherokees from the

1 1993 to 2004 and liberties from 2004 to 2007. but in a rare move we haven't seen since 1996, chrysler is refusing that recall. now, the national highway traffic safety administration can order a recall, but a court has to approve it, so we have to see where it goes. it could cost let's say about $300 million if chrysler did it obey with the recall and actually mix affected vehicles. >> and in the past, has this happened in the past and what happened there? >> it's happened in the past, but you chrysler has problems with the data that the government is citing. they say it is incomplete and in many cases a little exaggerated. so that's why some people are saying it is the government going too far because the more recent tests with newer models, they haven't seen the cars really have this effect with the the pul tank beifuel tank beingg place. >> all right.

thanks so much. extreme weather to tell you about now. a missouri town is on high alert this morning. look at this right here. the rising mississippi river threatens to take over that town. floodwaters breaking through sand bag barriers and then breaching a levee there. about 40 homes right now are in danger and officials are urging people to evacuate now. just 15% apparently of folks in that town have left the area, but the fire chief says everyone else is are ready to leave at a moment's notice. let's check in with maria who is tracking the conditions. boy, last summer driving down the mississippi river, that thing was down, way down. and now we have this. >> yeah, you're exactly right. we're talking about over the past several months drought conditions along the mississippi river, well below average water levels. and now extreme flooding occurring along multiple locations along the mississippi river and missouri river, as well. do want to bring you the details on that particular flash flood warning in effect until 2:00

p.m. today. a levee breach has been reported across the st. charles county emergency operations center. it's located along the mississippi river just below melvin pipe block and dam. so we're talking about water overtopping some of those areas. so we could be looking at extreme flooding. that's just to the north of the city of st. louis. but take a look at the number of flood warnings that do remain in effect in illinois, missouri, all the way down into memphis, tennessee. so again, a widespread area looking for the potential for flooding. and we could be looking at showers and storms moving through parts of the mississippi river and areas even farther west. oklahoma city, you could be looking at more storms. parts of northern texas, damaging winds, large hail. an isolated tornado is possible across parts of the plains throughout the day. temperatures south of the system in the 90s in texas. otherwise northeast very pleasant again, 75 for the high in new york city. and heather, i want to mention showers and storms out here in

the gulf of mexico continuing to watch this area of low pressure expected to produce more showers and storms across the state of florida. and guess where i'm headed, south florida for my brother's high school graduation. so i won't be doing much laying out. >> con gratd lagratulations to brother of yours. thank you so much. let's head to washington where the outrage over the irs scandal is still growing this morning. we've just learned this, that officials got luxury hotel rooms and free drinks, of course, at a $4 million meeting that was paid for by, well, you and me. >> and there are new details that the irs wasn't the only agency targeting conservatives. elizabeth has more live in washington. >> good morning. different day, different scandal. this as we learn more about the inner workings of the irs. lavish conferences and officials

getting top notch hotel rool, free drinks, all at a $34 million soirn california conference. and the more than 2,000 people who did attend, they got gifts for coming and enjoyed a keynote speaker who cost taxpayers more than $27,000. and house ways and means committee opened hearings yesterday to take testimony from members of tea party and other conservative groups that say all during these conferences, they were mistreated by the irs. listen. >> the copies of our own tax returns that we have in our organization are clean copies. we filed them with the icht rs electronically and when they get filed electronically, the irs puts a code on them. the redaction that we were unable to unlayer has that irs code on it. so we know for a fact this came from within the irs. don't know who did it. we've asked for investigation from the department of justice as well as the inspector general. we've been stone walled in finding out any information about those investigations. >> well, we also learned yesterday conservative groups claim they have proof of agency leaked their donor lists. as the attention shifts to the

environmental protection agency, it's now accused of targeting conservative groups, as well. the allegations are the epa has been charging conservative groups fees while largely not doing the same for on liberal groups. the fees are applied to the freedom of information act request. allegedly the epa waives them for liberal groups far more often than conservative ones. >> seems like it's a rampant practice in this administration in particular. and it's a practice that's very convenient because it's an excuse not to disclose a lot of information either to congress or to the public through foia request. i think it's a it tool that a lot of folks are using to hide important information. >> the epa has denied any favorite tim. back to you. >> all right. more troubling news for the white house this morning. let's take a look at who is talking because so many folks are talking about this. you all remember this.

president obama said that his administration would be the most transparent in history. that was the big theme of the campaign. >> but a new report is revealing top administration employees have be using secret government e-mail accounts. the white house pushing back now and denying those allegations. >> let's be clear. this is a practice consistent with prior administrations of both parties and as the story itself made clear, any request includes a search in all of the e-mail accounts used by any political appointee. are these work accounts secret, the answer is no because they are subject to foia requests. >> republican senator rand paul isn't buying that. he says the news should be very troubling for americans. >> now we have this whole culture of corruption where we've got these secret e-mail

accounts. for example, it would be a problem if they're communicating with lobbyists secretly, if they're saying to certain people that might make money off of the health care, this is what brought down clinton's health care plan in 1994 is they found out the secret meetings oing to make money off of the reform. so people make money in all ways in government, so that's why we want to know who they're talking to and it should be open to the public. >> hard to keep a secret for too long in washington, so they may find out the answer to that one. most federal agencies have failed to turn over the list of political appointee e-mail addresses. it was south under the freedom of information act more than three honesmonths ago. and coming up, this little girl's life depends on kathleen sebelius, but she's saying sorry, little sarah, it's not fair if i get involved. and then it sounds like something right out of a movie. the government may actually use

threatened to veto a bill that would give more money to veteran programs like health care. the bill passed the house late last night. the white house opposes the bill because it offsets military spending with deeper cuts to social programs. well, a major update for you you now on a story that we have been telling you about. 10-year-old sarah murnaghan's fight to live just got more difficult. u.s. secretary of health and human services kathleen sebelius has turned down appeals from the little girl's parents to overrule federal regulations that could save the little gegi girl's life. >> this protocol about the delineation between children and adults has been in place since 2005. it's updated regularly. i've asked them to take another look at it, but i think that i would defer to the scientists and to the organ experts in this instance. >> protocol. that's the answer you just heard right there. well, as we have been telling you, sarah is in desperate need of a lung transplant.

she has cystic fibrosis. and is right now on a ventilator as you can see. her theres say she has just weeks to live and what is stopping her from getting the adult lung she needs? her age. she doesn't qualify up she's 12 years old. sarah wants that transplant rule changed for all children. we'll keep you posted on that very sad story. a man accused of opening fire inside a crowd krod colorado movie theater now claims he's not guilty of murder, not guilty because he was insane he says at the time of the shooting. >> james holmes will now undergo, listen to this, a lengthy mental evaluation by state doctors and that's something that could drag on for months. but prosecutors may even get the chance to interview him while he's under the influence of a so-called truth serum. so it has to be determined if he knew right from wrong at the time he's suspected of shooting dead 12 people and hurting dozens more inside that packed aurora movie theater last

summer. >> do i think he's insane, absolutely not. and i think in the end when all the evidence is brought out, you know, and kind of the dust settles, it will be the same as it would have been and that's a guilty plea. >> by changing his plea, holmes waives his right to medical privacy. this means that notebook he sent to his psychiatrist will be handed over to police for review and it could void his insanity claim. a status hearing is set for august 2. in the meantime, breaking overnight, there was a college baseball player who is accused of kidnapping a 6ed-year-old girl. we'll bring you those stunning details next. and then a political firestorm this morning. the governor of mississippi saying schools are struggling in the schools and working moms are to blame. stick around. uh-oh! guess what day it is??

scandal, yankees player alex rodriguez. four years ago he admitted using steroids from 2001 to 2003. ryan braun became the first player to successfully file an appeal. braun isn't talking and yankees say a-rod isn't either. >> he will not make any further statements about it. the truth has not changed. i don't know the specifics of the story that came out today. but i've already addressed it, already commented on it. >> when i talked to alex, it's baseball related. our stance all along is we'll let mlb handle everything and we don't really have a comment. >> and some of the other play hes reportedly involved, cabrera, colon and gonzalez. cabrera and colon both suspended 50 games last year for doping. 100 is the. h. finishmep punishment for the second offense.

>> thanks so much, anna. and now for your five at 5:00. new overnight, a murder mystery in arizona. five sets of human remains found in a remote desert about 130 miles south of phoenix. investigators think that they could be murder victims from mexico. the age, sex and time of death of the five victims yet to be determined. some new york high school students claiming they were kicked off an air trans flight because they're jewish. about 100 teens were headed from new york to atlanta. the airline says they repeatedly asked the students to sit down and then turn off their cell phones. when the students apparently refused, the entire group was ordered off the plane. they were later rebooked on another flight. the school says it's investigating the incident. boston bombing suspect joke car s tsarnaev is reportedly receiving

miles an hour. the record, strongest tornado is just a little bit more than 300. about 318. in oklahoma, as well. so it did almost have the strongest recorded winds as well as the widest tornado ever recorded. today not as much of a risk. we are looking at a slight chance, though, for damaging winds, large hail and maybe an isolated tornado. just stay alert in texas, oklahoma and into arkansas. we could be seeing rain across sections of the mississippi river where we currently have ongoing flood warnings. otherwise temperatures hot in texas in the 90s, and nice day in new york city, 75 for the high here. >> marimarie, thank you so much. the irs is getting ready to return to congressional hot seat after alleged victims had their say on capitol hill yesterday. and also more shocking details are now emerging about how much of your money was wasted on a whole bunch of irs

had 75 out of 82 sgragranted li that because these are the groups epa has decided are the favored groups. >> the epa meantime says its policy is to treat everyone fairly, but the allegations may trigger an investigation into how the agency actually operates. >> doug, thanks. took just one year, seven months and three days, but kim kardashian's divorce is official. a judgment dissolving the 72 day marriage was signed by a judge. and big baby news. expecting their first child together. jennifer love hewitt also expecting her first child. and stay classy, d.c.. >> for all of us here at channel 4 news, i'm ron burgundy. you say classy.

are defective because the location of the gas tank makes them he susceptible to on rupture in a rear end or rollover crash. chrysler said in a statement yesterday the company does not agree with the nhtsa 's conclusions and does not intend to recall the vehicles. the subject vehicles are safe and not defective. chrysler maintains the design is commonly accepted and used in many other vehicles. as for the findings, the company says they're based on high speed, high energy accidents in which a different design would have made no difference in that is the first time since 1996 that an automaker has refused a recall request. in that case again chrysler which was an independent u.s. company at the time won a federal court decision over the nhtsa request to recover the seat belt systems on 91,000 cars. this time around the company now called by fiat says it stil plans to work with agency to resolve the dispute and nhtsa

says it hopes chrysler will reconsider its position and take action to protect its customers and the driving public. and still ahead, the government might be using some truth serum on james holmes. has this ever been done before and does it work? we'll have the answers next. and is this for real? domino's pizza says it's developed a drone capable of delivering pizzas? it's perhaps the best joke ever, but maybe it's real. we'll talk about that. but first let's check in with brian to see what's coming up on fox and friends. did you ever diffeliver pizza shall. >> no, but i have delivered to a table which is a renegade deep dish pasta organization. but i've eaten up all my romo time. but i would like to talk about today's show and i hope he i understand eventually how on it tip a drone dwlifi idelivering .

states of america the defense has the burden of proof. they have to prove to the jury their client did not know right from wrong. when they picked up the gun, they thought it was a banana they were squeezing. in colorado it is the other way around. the prosecution has to say ladies and gentlemen, we're going to prove to you beyond a reasonable doubt that he was sane and knew what he was doing. >> this is why the truth serum comes into effect? >> to accomplish that they're allowing government doctors toent view him. -- to interview him. part of his ability to use his defense, he has to cooperate. he can't say i'm not talking to you, doctors. he has to cooperate. the doctors can choose, it is their choice whether they think he is lying. they give him this serum. >> how reliable is this? this isn't used very often. >> it is not used very often. it may not be used here. everyone shouldn't think it is an automatic this guy is getting main hraeupbd. -- main lined.

the defense will have an opportunity to have their experts analyze. >> couldn't the defense then argue he was forced to testify against his will? >> no. because the burden has shifted, you would be 100% correct if it was on the defense's part to prove it. because it's on the prosecutor's part, they're allowed to get whatever evidence they need. >> arthur aidala, thank you so much. keep talking about this one. we have several stories breaking this morning. we'll tell you what you need to know before you leave the house today. it is your last chance to answer our question of the day. was the governor of mississippi right? he said kids are struggling in school now because their moms are all working. we'll read your e-mails. we'll read your e-mails. that's coming up next. look what mommy is having. mommy's having a french fry. yes she is, yes she is.
