with all the breaking news we didn't get to the flu story go to my facebook page. you can find it there. now to shep. >> the new jersey governor chris christie, a potential g.o.p. contend for the white house in 2016, says he is sorry, is humiliated. we may hear him apologize again in the next hour. he also says he had nothing to do with what appears to be a revenge on a rival. or a plan for revenge that caused days of traffic delays and real disaster in the busiest bridge in all the world. now the feds are investigating. and old high school classmate of governor christie is refusing to testify about this role in the fiasco. took the fifth, and a political opponent is demanding on outside investigation. it's getting warm in jersey. let's get to it.

good afternoon to you and yours from the fox news deck. the new jersey governor chris christie says he is heartbroken humiliated that a staffer, a long-term one, lied about creating a traffic nightmare for millions of drivers and apparent plans to gets revenge against a political rival. now with the u.s. attorney announcing he is launching an official investigation, it's turning into an enormous headache at a minimum for the governor of new jersey who analysts say is the leading contender for the republican presidential nomination. >> september, road crews closed three access lanes to the george washington bridge. a crucial link to new york city. the reason officials gave for the unannounced closure, what they called at the time, a traffic study. but yesterday e-mails surfaces that suggested the whole thing was simple. a plan to strike back against a mayor who did not endorse

governor christie's re-election campaign. more on those e-mails in a moment. first, the governor spent nearly two hours today answering questions from reporters, telling them he knew nothing about any of this. >> i'm sick over this. i have worked for the last 12 years, in public life, developing a reputation for honesty and directness and blunt talk. one that i think is well-deserved. but when something like this happens, it's appropriate for you to question yourself, and certainly i am. i apple soul searching. all i can do is apologize for the conduct of people who worked for me. i can't do anything else. i can't reverse time. if i could, believe me, would. but i can just apologize. that's all you can do. there's really nothing else to do. >> the governor said he fired a top aide, the woman whom you see

here, time for traffic problems in fort lee, she said. she wrote in an e-mail exactly that and got a reply of, "got it." that's the town where thearch didn't endorse the governor and where the road crews closed the lanes. a high school classmate of governor christie, who was an aid, replied, thusly, guy pot it." that official resigned last year. today he was set to testify at hearing and listen to his response. >> on the advice of counsel i assert my right to remain silent. >> that also refers to a meeting with the governor of the same date. >> on the advice of counsel i assert my right to remain silent. >> the attorney then indicated the former official would not answer any questions from the committee. taking the fifth. protecting himself. the panel held him in contempt.

that's a misdemeanor in juriesy. then there's a text message exchange in which an unnamed staffer said the traffic jams started on the first day of school and asked, is it wrong i'm smiling in and the man pleading the fifth replied, no. and then i feel bad for the kids. they are the children of bono. she is a state senator and has today called for an outside investigation, and as for the mayor of fort lee, new jersey, one e-mail from fifth amendment guy said, it will be a tough november for this little serbian. the mayor is a croatiaen desscent. >> it's incredible people in pours of positions of authority would be so venomous, i don't

get it. i never thought i was important enough, still don't, but i think this is a prime example of the pettiest form of politics. >> good christie says he will travel to fort lee to apologize to mayor in person. the mayor said it's too soon for any sorries and said, i quote, a an apology coming up today might be a bit premature because i have a distinct feeling there's going to be another press conference or another two or three or 12 after this. this is not the end. this appears to be the beginning. judge andrew napolitano is here. but late start with eric. the governor said a lot in a very long news conference. >> more than an hour, and he did say a lot. repeatedly apologizing for what happened, saying that he is heartbroken, about what happened, and absolutely heartsick, and that he was blindsided. said he didn't have anything to

do with it. top level officials of his administration, his staff, and his campaign, apparently engaged in the political payback against the democratic mayor of fort lee because he did not endorse governor christie's re-election. >> i am embarrassed and rue millated -- humiliated by the conduct of some people on my team. there's no out in -- no doubt in my mind that the conduct they exhibited is completely unacceptable, and showed a lack of respect for their appropriate role of government, and for the people that were trusted to serve. >> it was a mess last september at the george washington bridge when three lanes in fort lee were closed, delaying thousands and even reportedly doubling response times for ambulances. so today,. >> chris: fired bridge jet anne kelly, his deputy chief of staff, on the right. she sent texts and e-mails about the closings. he said, she lied to him.

also severed relations with his former campaign manager for what he called callous indifference in some of the e-mails they sent. >> as governor christie described it today, he got up yesterday morning, had his trainer over, somewhere before 9:00, 8:50 a.m., somebody notified him to take a look at the county record, the newspapers. >> he said this is the first time he heard about that yesterday morning. >> that's when the read the e-mails. >> for the very first time, he said. he again reiterated during the news conference he knew nothing about this scheme, nothing about what happened, nothing about any of this planning and that's when he first found out about it. he also said he did not play any part in it. >> i had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or execution. and i am stunned by the abject

stupidity that was shown here, regardless of what the facts ultimately uncover. >> and as for that apology, shep, to the mayor of fort lee, the mayor appreciates that but says it should come after the investigation. and looking right now at the assembly hearing today. that's where the former high school friend of the governor, david willsteen, one of his top appointees to the port thought-has been charged with a myself myself -- misdemeanor for not answering questions and getting other christie officials, including miss kelly, potentially to the defense table on the witness stand at he's hearings that are continuing in new jersey at the capitol. >> eric thank you very much. the feds are now involved. the united states attorney in new jersey is investigating whether anybody brock the law.

judge andrew napolitano is with us. judge napolitano was a superior court judge in the state of new jersey, and very familiar with how thing goes there. first of all, the story is, this deputy chief of staff, this kelly, had been his deputy chief of staff for five years, and as the story goes, when he read those e-mails yesterday morning, he was sad and that he didn't ask her any questions about what happened, he fired her for lying to him, and that was that. >> he stated at the press conference this morning that after reading the e-mails, the evidence of her cull spalt was so overwhelming, he just fired her. >> his friend from high school was involved. a christie appointee, david wine canstein. he is out as well. law.here's questions whether help us understand what that would entail and how it would go. >> there are two potential

statutes herement one is a state law of the state of new jersey, there's a federal law. basically both say the same thing and called misconduct office. abusing the power0s your office for some gain. so, whoever is going to prosecute, if there will be a prosecution -- the u.s. attorney, the job that governor christie had before he was governor -- his successor in that job, paul fishman, announced a fewer -- few hours ago announced hi will open an investigation into anybody in the for's office engaged in misconduct did they abuse their power for some explain good-some gain? and that's the same standard in the state. requires the state attorney general, the christie appointee, or the prosecutor of the county where the city is located. also a christie appointee to investigate the office whether

anybody violated state law chisolm already to the federal statute. >> what is -- we also know that traffic times were aslowed down, the beginning of school, and there was a question about a 91-year-old woman, the response time for the ambulance was longer than normal because of this traffic delay, that's the allegation there has been no suggestion from anyone yet that the two might be related. >> now you talking about the state's civil liability. before we talked about can anybody be prosecuted. now you're asking, can people sue the state for what happened? this will be enormously expensive for the state of new jersey. just on the basis of what the governor stated in his press conference this morning. he has, whether you believe him or not, said it was wrong, and it happened, and it was done for the wrong reasons. that practically proves the case of the plaintiffs who will sue. who will sue? fort lee, the town, will sue the state for the disruption and the

police overtime. anybody who was inconvenienced will sue the state. and if the estate of this whom, who died, can demonstrate that schad she gotten to the hospital in a reasonable period of time, they will sue the state for her wrongful death. i would think the state would be quick to settle these cases. the last thing it want is trial after trial about this. >> it's clear now this was politically motivated. not on the governor's part but clearly those world, -- involve, this is politics. governor christie said he didn't know the mayor of fort lee, new jersey, who we asked to appear on the program. he says he doesn't know him. this was political payback to suggest this sort of thing done happen on a much grander stay here in the tri-state or around use be to feign naivete that does not exist at the table. >> when the governor spoke about this a couple of weeks ago and made a joke been it -- >> i was the one moving the code, ha-ha-ha. >> a joke for which he apologized today. he was acting as if, come on,

this is absurd. but once these e-mails came out it is very clear. put aside the ethnic -- inappropriate ethnic references to the mayor, it's clear that this was political retaliation. certainly on the part of this woman kelly. >> one haas -- one last thing, nothing to suggest the mayor knew anything about this. the mayor insisted he did not. if there is some e-mail or correspond -- >> between he and the governor? >> if there's e-mail that links the governor to this and suggests he did know in advance. >> this would be the end of his political career. >> i meant legally speaking. >> legally? he would then make himself a candidate for prosecution. his denials today were so sift and certain and prooffend, if there's evidence to contradict those denials he is a target for investigation. >> and there is none if we come up with any we'll let you know.

grandson of a republican state representative who worked as a state trooper more than three decades. minutes ago we learned on the news deck the suspect has agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor child endangerment. family members say people have harassed them since they've gone public with the accusations. relatives say they had to move. their vacant house burn down. investigators say they could not find out why. and the girl has reportedly attempted suicide several times. the suspect previously denied he raped her or anyone else. he says the encounter in this case was consentual. garrett works our midst news room and has been following this from the beginning. you interviewed the victim as well. garrett, the special prosecutor had a news conference just a short time ago, and talked about why she didn't go after any felony charges. >> yes. special prosecutor is jean baker, from jackson county, around kansas city. appointed in october to review

this case because, after all of the outrage that came out, many people thought it was not properly examined the first time around. so, she was looking at this case for almost five -- four or five months, going over all the evidence, all of the investigation that was done, and when they came to it, she says there wasn't enough evidence there to bring forth those charges. >> my job is to analyze evidence. in this case, there was insufficient evidence to go forward on a sexual assault. so, in this case, it always -- every case boils down to the evidence. >> reporter: and because he pleaded guilty, matthew barnett was sentenced to two years probation and four months of suspended jail time as well. this comes as a blow to the coleman family. they have been pushing for these rape charges all along. back in 2012 when the incident

occurred, police said this seemed like a sure-fire case. they had the confessions from the boys that were involved, the girl from their testimony as well, and they said it looked like it was a sure-fire case. so now that the case has been reexamined and these charges have come down in those rape charges not being included, we will see just what happens from family later on. >> the alleged victim is back in the hospital? >> reporter: yes, she is. we spoke with her mother a couple hours ago, me and said this last weekend that her daughter went to a party with some friends, and that when she got home, she found that the people she thought were her friend were abusing her on facebook and social media, commenting about the incident, and the next day she attempted to take her own life. she has been there since sunday night. when we spoke to her in october, she says that bullying over social media was the cause for the previous suicide attempts as well. melinda coleman, the girl's

mother, said they're grateful the case has been reexamined and the special prosecutor has been fighting for them, but we haven't spoken to her. we've been calling to see what her reaction is to just a misdemeanor charge being filed, and of course, one thing that does remain is civil charges as a possibility. they haven't south those so far but that is an option they could choose to pursue. >> thank you. people who you have never met could soon have access to your information just by taking your picture. that's a word from the inventors of this facial recognition app for your phone. it's already causing enormous concerns about privacy, not to mention potential legal issues. so how does this work? and could someone take a picture of you walking down the street and suddenly pull up everything there is about you? the answers are surprising, and we'll ask our own lawyers about it. that's next.

a draft of the new earthquake map in southern california shows a fault running through the heart of the hollywood neighborhood and directly under some historic landmarks. here's a map. the black line is the approximate fault line, and the red area around it is what researchers call the fault zone. so it stretches across there you can see where the hollywood walk of fame is, and that square is capital reports and the "access hollywood" sign is -- the hollywood sign is just up the hill. keep in mine, california's law prohibits building on top of faults and requires new

developments within that zone to get extensive underground testing. so, this could affect some major projects already in the works. it's also worth noting here, next week marks 20 years since the lastarch quake -- last major earthquake in l.a. 60 people tied. 7,000 were hurt. north around, and the quake caused some $25 billion in damage. trace gallagher is in hollywood, near the fault line. trace, some of the developers say they were surprised by the new map. >> reporter: very surprised. we're at hollywood and vine, standing directly on a fault line. and california law says you can't build on a fault line. the problem is that law has been ignored for more than two decades because they stopped mapping the fault lines in the '90s because of budgetary constrainses gruesome have a new map and you have this project 500 feet off the faultline, under construction,

$200 million. you mentioned capital records right here, directly on the fault. and then right down here next to this red building, they building something called the millennium project. $650 million and stand right in the heart of this fault line, and when these maps are finalized several months from now, if in fact it does go right in the middle of the faultline? you can expect some construction to halt. listen to a geologist. >> around july 8th of this year, the final map will be published, and those final maps carry the authority of law with them, and take effect on that date. >> reporter: in other words, stop construction. but here's the deal. millennium plans to fight the issue saying the detailed geotechnical investigations we performed on our site found no evidence of an active earthquake fault on the property. so whatever those maps say, you can bet the construction and

developers are going to try to come up with a different conclusion as to where the fault line runs. >> what about the building that went up before the city drew the fault line? >> reporter: well, we have heard famous stories about that. mainly the sylmar quake in 1971, on an unknown faultline, and the city paid the price. that earthquake devastated the entire city. there were hospitals on there. many houses. 64 people died. in that earthquake. hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, and that quake, that fault line was just discovered 20 years after that quake. so, now the concern here is, if in fact this really is a fault line directly where i'm standing here, then you have a different problem called -- it's called surface rupture. it means the ground simply breaks apart, and if you're on top of a fault line where the ground breaks apart, the experts say it's absolutely catastrophic, that no building can survive that.

these are set to be 39 and 36 story skyscrapers. >> good luck selling them. the president of afghanistan ordered the release of dozen0s prisoners and usual officials say some of those prisoners took paert in attacks that killed or wounded american forces. last quebec other group of u.s. senators met with president karzai in kabul and say they warned him the release, quote, would be major step backwardses for u.s. afghan religious. karzai says there's not enough evidence to hold them. and says we cannot allow citizens to be held in court for months and years without a trial. this feels like more of a continuing story line with hamid karzai. doesn't feel like an isolated incident.

>> reporter: instead of kissing babies he is handing out prisoners to get votes for his brother in march and april. one thing to remember, in afghanistan it's typical not to keep prisoners for long period of time because they're worth money, and judges pay up to $100,000 to get appointed. so maybe some financial back dealing here. >> is there any value to our staying there? >> well, here's the sad part. the afghan people want the americans there. the afghan government, which is led by hamid karzai does not wasn't us there because it's not in their interest. the democracy would dictate, yes, we're there hamid karzai says no. >> so, we have no sway on these prisoners. do you know anything bet these individuals? >> i spent five weeks doing missions with special forces, picking guys like this up at night, knocking on doors. these are people that a lot of

intel, and what they're up to, trying to harm or damage u.s. or afghan forces, and they're put there because they're not quite ready to be released. there's over 760 of these prisoners back in december that were released. so, this is just the tip of the iceberg. >> a board or some three-member panel decided they were actually innocent of everything. >> yeah. only two-member panel but you just cutting hairs there. but these guys basically speed processes -- they're freedom nam natalie -- mostly pashtun, and once you give them back they owe you a favor, and navies come election time. so you're seeing a political move here. >> robert, good to see you again. >> my pleasure. >> president obama is pushing a

plan to help create some jobs in some of the hardest hit parts of the country, and a couple of republicans say they're onboard others well. we're live at the white house to fine out about this weird agreement thing.

16 minutes before the hour. a child's area code? should not determine his or her odds for success. that's from president obama, announcing the first five areas the white house declared promise zones. this is all part of a program that the president says will use federal tax incentives and grants to help lift troubled communities out of poverty. >> each of these communities is designing from the bottom up, not the top down, what it is they think they need, and we working with them to make that happen. and each community is prepared to do what it takes to change the odds for their kids. we'll help them succeed. >> the president noted that rand paul of kentucky was in the room, one of those promise zones

is in kentucky. and after the announcement senator paul says fighting poverty is not a pathway a. issue. >> a lot of things that -- a lot of evidence that, in my state, eastern kentucky, we have had poverty going on generation after generation. >> senator paul says he has his own plan, we'll hear more on that. first to ed henry at the white house. president obama unveiled his program in the "state of the union" address. why did he wait until today? >> they say here at the white house they were working on it, various agencies and getting the details going, but you're right, it's been a year in the making. and so there are probably some folks on capitol hill wondering why it took the president to get this proposal to them. you mentioned that eastern kentucky, one of the areas. los angeles as well. philadelphia. san antonio. choctaw wear of oklahoma.

the point is that the president has gotten his proposal together. another state of the union at the end of the month and he wants to make it clear he thinks the economy is coming back and thinks a proposal like this might juice it a little more. >> two sides working together. that's a rarity. >> kind of a shot. the president's plan would have tax incentives other federal aid to the community. senator paul, you noted, here at the white house, that's rare. a thorn in the president's side normally on a lot of issues. he has something called economic freedom zones, he calls them, where he targeted detroit and other big cities, counties around the country, lower corporate taxes and personal income taxes to make sure the tax revenue goes back into the cities. marco rubio from florida has an antipoverty program he unveiled yesterday. he says the important thing to him is there's too much federal government growth in these kinds of programs.

he'd rather see more power going to the states, and more focus on growing jobs instead of federal aid. take a listen. >> my proposal is this. the current government programs that are designed to address poverty help alleviate some of the pain of poverty but do not help people emerge from it or rise above it. we have to deal with that. and with opportunity in equality, not just income inequality. the president has the wrong focus. >> also an antiposted plan put together with paul rand, what do he and marco rubio and rand paul have, they're also potentially looking at rung for president the 2016 so a sign of possible bipartisanship that some of the republican candidates realize they can't cede this ground to democrats. >> we're all antipoverty in essence. >> they realize this is the 50th anniversary of lbj declaring war poverty and yet we have 46 million people still on

food stamps. >> ed henry good, to see you. an area in new jersey toys to play itself out. that's a live picture, a hand-held camera, with a lot of media around. we're waiting for the governor chris christie and mayor of fort lee, new jersey. neither are on scene but we're led to believe there may be some sort of apology that will help gain front governor christie as he tries to put out the fire storm over whatever these shenanigans were. mass sass finally given the go-ahead for an important mission to the international space station? heard how they're going to get there? details are next.
