with news and guests and there's so much more to tell you about when you join me tomorrow. i hope so. let's head over to shep. >> thanks. the supreme court hearing a major challenge to obamacare. if the judges side with the critics, that would cripple the program in theory and cost millions of people all of their health care coverage. you'll hear what happened inside the court coming up. plus, a former cia spy is suing the cia claiming it messed with his love life. >> i had a good relationship. i thought they were people i could trust, but it turns out i was mistaken. >> today, his first on the record interview about how he says the cia went after him. let's get to it. live from the fox news desk. >> and we begin with eric holder set to speak out about the findings of two federal investigations in ferguson missouri. the first into that city's police department.

investigators say officers routinely violated the civil rights of black people. the second investigation into former ferguson police officer, darren wilson, who shot and killed the unarmed teenager, michael brown last year. we know the justice department will not press charges against wilson. he claims he feared home run his life when he shot michael brown. the feds say there is no evidence to dispute that. they also say there's no reliable evidence that michael brown had his hands up to surrender. we'll have reaction from brown's family in a moment. first, back to the report on the ferguson police department. the feds say they found a pattern of racial discrimination among officers in ferguson. they say police in the city used excessive force against black people and black people were stopped and searched far more often. that is a chart from the justice department they created to illustrate their findings. between the years 2012 and 2014

african-americans represented two-thirds of the population in ferguson, but made up 85% of vehicle stops and 93% of all arrests. investigators say the numbers were also disproportionately high for petty crimes like walking in the middle of the street, jaywalking, a huge, well, crime there. a money grab to hear it from the critics. they say they also found rationally discriminatory e-mails sent from city accounts during work hours. some even insulting president obama and the first lady, but the feds say the officials there have not disciplined any of the people who sent the e-mails. to try to fix things, the feds are issues more than two dozen recommendations. they include new training and better oversight. the feds say city leaders are cooperating and there are signs of improvement. so far no response from city officials, but we've gotten word this afternoon that officials in ferguson, missouri, plan to hold

a news conference today, so we'll hear from the attorney general in just a moment. scheduled to have started two minutes ago but first, to garrett who is live in our midwest newman and the question, what options the leaders in ferguson have at this point. >> well, they really only have two options. they can agree to the recommendations or get sued by the doj for violate inging the constitution and we'll likely hear which way they're leaning at the press conference we're expecting a couple of hours after eric holder speaks, but over the next few week, they are likely to meet with officials and work out the exact terms of a court enforced settlement to outline what changes will be made. some of the changes are already underway. most notably about the court which had been labeled previously as a debtor's prison. >> what are michael brown's family saying? >> officials met with his parents this morning to share

the results of their investigation and this afternoon, the family released a statement reading quote, while we are saddened by the decision we are encouraged the doj will hold the ferguson police department accountable and we'll get back to that as eric holder is about to speak. >> let's listen. >> justice department has been conducting in ferguson, missouri these last several months. the matters we are here to discuss is significant not only because of the conclusions that the justice department is announcing today, but also because of the broader conversation and initiatives those con verversations have inspired across the country on the local and national level. those initiatives have included extensive and vital efforts to examine the causes of misunderstanding and mistrust between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve. to support and strengthen our public safety as a whole, bhent to rebuild confidence where ever it has eroded.

now, nearly seven months have passed since the shooting death of 18-year-old michael brown in ferguson, missouri. that tragic incident provokeded widespread demonstrations and stirred strong emotions from those in the ferguson area and around our nation. it also prompted a federal investigation by the united states department of justice the criminal section of our civil rights division united states attorneys office with the east end district of missouri as well as the fbi. seeking to determine whether this shooting violated federal civil rights laws. now, the promise that i make the promise that i made when i went to ferguson and at the time that we launched our investigation was not that we would arrive at particular outcome. rather that we would pursue the facts, where ever they led. our investigation has been both fair and rigorous from the start. it has proceeded independently of the local investigation that concluded in november.

and it has been thorough. as part of a wide ranging examination of the evidence, federal investigateors interviewed and reinterviewed eyewitnesses and other individuals claiming to have relevant information. independently canvassed more than 300 residences to locate and interview additional witnesses. this morning the justice department announced a conclusion of our investigation and released a comprehensive, 87-page report documenting our findings and conclusions that the facts do not support the filing of criminal charges against officer darren wilson. in this case. michael brown's death though a tragedy, did not involve prosecutable conduct on the part of officer wilson. now, this conclusion represents the sound considered independent judgment of the expert career pross within the department of justice. i have been personally briefed

on multiple occasions about these findings. i concur with the investigative team's judgment and the determination about our inability to meet required federal standard. now, this outcome is supported by the fact that we have found but i also note that these findings may not be consistent with some people's expectations. all those who have closely followed this case and who have engaged in the important national dialogue that it has conspired, i urge you, i urge you, to be read this report in full. i recognize that the findings in our report may leave some to wonder how the department's findings can differ so sharply from some of the initial widely reported accounts of what transpired. i want to emphasize that the strength and integrity of america's justice system has -- its ability impartial results in

these types of difficult circumstances. the facts and the law, regardless of aaupgs, and remains valid to how such a strong al ternternative version of events was able to take hold and be accepted so readily. now, the possible explanation for this are second federal investigation conducted by civil rights division to determine whether ferguson police officials have engaged in a widespread pattern or practice of violation of the united states constitution or federal law. now, as details in what i will call our sering report and it is searing, also released by the justice department today this investigation found a community that was deeply polarized. a community where deep distrust and hostility often characterize interactions between police and

area residents. a community where local authorities consistently approach law enforcement, not as a means for protecting public safety, but as a way to generate revenue. a community where both policing and municipal court practices were found to be harmful to african-american residents. a community where this harm frequently appears to stem at least in part from racial bias. both implicit and explicit. and a community where all of these conditions unlawful practices and constitutional violations have not only severely undermined the public trust, eroded police legitimacy and made residents less safe, but created an intensely charged atmosphere where people feel under assault and under siege by those charged to serve and protect us. now of course, violence is never justified. but seeing in this conduct, context, amid a highly toxic environment, defined by mistrust

and resentment, stoked by years of bad feelingsings and spurred by illegal and misguided practices, it's not difficult to imagine how a single tragic incident set off the city of ferguson as a powder keg. in a sense members of the dmunt community may not have been responding to only a single isolated con fronation, but a lack of trust attribute bable to numerous institutional violations by their law enforcement including first amendment abuses. unreasonable searches and seizures and excessive and dangerous use of force. exacerbated by severely disproportionate use of these tactics against african-americans and driven by overriding pressure by the city to use law enforcement as a tool for raising revenue. according to our investigation

this emphasis on revenue generation through policing has fostered uncougsal practices at nearly every level of ferguson's law enforcement system. ferguson police officers issued nearly 50% more citations in the last year than they did in 2010. an increase that has not been driven or accompanied by a rise in crime. as a result of this excessive reliance on picketing today the city generates a significant amount of revenue from the enforcement of code provisions along with taxes and other revenue streams in 2010, the city collected over $1.3 million in fines and fees collected by the court. for fiscal year 2015, ferguson's city budget anticipated the revenues to exceed $3 million. more than double the total from just five years prior. our review of the efforts and

our conversations with police officers have shown that significant pressure is brought to bear on law enforcement personnel to deliver on these revenue increases. once the system is primed for maximizing revenue, starting with fines and fine enforcement the city relies on the police fort force to serve essentially as a collection agency for the municipal court rather than a law enforcement entity focused on maintaining public safety. in a wide variety of tactics including disciplinary measures are used to ensure certain levels of tickets by individual officers regardless of public safety needs. as a result, it has become common place in ferguson for officers to charge multiple violations for the same conduct. three or four charges for a single stop. is considered fairly ru teen. some compete to see who can issue the largest number of

citations during a single stop. a total that in at least one instance, rose as high as 14 and we have observed that even minor code violations can sometimes result in multiple arrests jail time and payments that exceed the cost of the original ticket many times over. now, for example in 2007, one woman received two parking tickets. that together totalled $152. to date, she has paid $550 in fines and fees to the city of ferguson. she has been arrested twice for having unpaid tickets. and she has spent six days in jail. yet today, she still owes ferguson $541. and her story only one of dozens of similar accounts that our investigation uncovered. over time, it's clear that this culture of enforcement actions

being disconnected from the public safety needs of the community and often to the debtriment of residents has given rise to a disturbing pattern of practice. our investigations show that ferguson police officers reteenly violate the fourth amendment in stopping people without reasonable suspicious. arresting them without probable cause. and using unreasonable force against them. according to the police department's own records, their own records, its officer frequently enfringe on resident's rights. they interfere with the right to record police activity. they make enforcement decisions based on the way individuals express themselves. many of these constitutional violations have become routine. for instance, even though it's illegal for police officers to detain a person even briefly without a reasonable suspicion it's become common practice for

officers in ferguson to stop pedestrians and request identification for no reason at all. even in places where police encounters start off as defensible, we found they rapidly escalate and end up blatantly and unnecessarily crossing the line. during the summer of 2012 one ferguson police officer detained a 32-yea man who had just finished playing basketball at a park. the officer approached the man while he was sitting in his car resting. the car's windows appeared to be more heavily tinted than ferguson's code allowed, so the officer had legitimate grounds to question him, but with no apparent justification the officer proceeded to accuse the man of being a pedophile. he prohibited the man from using his cell phone and ordered him to get out of his car for a pat down search. even though he had no reason to suspect that the man was armed. and when the man objected,

citing his constitutional rights, the police officer drew his service weapon, pointed it at the man's head and arrested him on eight different counts. now, this arrest caused the man to lose his job. unfortunately, this event appears to have anything but an isolated incident. our investigation showed that members of ferguson's police force frequently escalate rather than diffuse tensions with the residents they encounter and such actions are sometimes accompanied by first amendment violations, including arresting people for talking back to officers recording their public activities or engaging in other conduct that is constitutional protective. this behavior not only exacerbates tensions in its own right, it has the effect of stifling community confidence that is absolutely vital for effective policing and this, in turn deepens the widespread distrust provoked by the

department's other unconstitutional exercises of police power. none of which is more harmful than its pat esh of excessive force. now, among the ips dents of xesive force, some resulted from stops or arrests that had no legal basis to begin with. others were punitive. a police department's routine use of tasers was found to be abusive and dangerous. records showed a really disturbing history of using unnecessary force against people with mental illness and the overwhelming majority of force, almost 90%, is directed against african-americans. this deeply alarming statistic points to one of the most pernicious aspects of what we uncovered. that these policing practices harm african-american residents. in fact our view of the

evidence found no, no alternative explanation for the disproportionate impact rather than implicit and explicit rational bias. between october 2012 and october 2012 despite making up only 67% of the population, african-americans accounted for a little over 85% of all traffic stops by the ferguson police department. african-americans were twice as likely as white residents to be searched during a routine traffic stop. even though they were 26% less likely to carry contraband. between october 2012 and july 2014, 35 black individuals, 35 black individuals and zero white individuals received five or more citations at the same time. between the same period, african-americans accounted for 85% of the total charges brought

by the ferguson police department. african-americans made up over 90% of those charged with a highly discretionary offense described as and i quote manner of walking along roadway. unquote. manner of walking along roadway. and use of dogs by ferguson police appears to have been exclusively reserved for african-americans. in every case in which ferguson police records reported the race of a person bit by a police dog that person was african-american. evidence of racial bias comes not only from statistics but also from remarks made by police, city and court officials. a federal examination of the records including a large volume of work e-mails shows a number of public servants expressing racist comments or gender discrimination, demonstrating

grotesque views and images of african-americans in which they were seen as the other called transients, by public officials and characterized as lacking personal responsibility. i want to emphasize that all of these examples, statistics and conclusions are drawn directly from the exhaustive findings report that the department of justice has now released. clearly, these findings and others included in the report demonstrate that although some community perception of michael brown's tranlggic death may not have been accurate, the widespread conditions at these perceptions were based upon and the climate that gave rise to them were all too real. some of those protesters were right. this is a reality that our investigators repeatedly encountered in their interviews of police and city officials. their conversations with local residents and review of thousands of pablgs of records and documents. this evidence pointed to an unfortunate and unsustainable situation that has not only

severely damaged relationships between law enforcement and members of the community, but made professional policing vastly more difficult. and i think very significantly, unnecessarily placed officers at increased risk and today, now that our investigation has reached its on collusion, it is time, it is time for ferguson's leaders to take immediate, wholesale instructional corrective action. the united states department of justice reserves all of its rights and abilities to force compliance and to implement basic change. nothing is off the table. the report from the justice department presents two sets of immediate recommendations for the ferguson police department and the municipal court. these recommendations include the implementation of a robust system of policing, increased tracking, review and analysis of ferguson's police department stop, search, ticketing and arrest practices.

increased civilian involvement in police decision making and the development of mechanisms to effectively respond to allegations of officer conduct. they also involve changes to the municipal court system, including modifications to bond amounts and detention procedures. and into the use of arrest warrants as a means of collecting owed fines and fees and compliance with basic with basic due process requirements. ensuring meaningful, sustainable and verifiable reform will require these and other measures be part of a court enforceable process that includes involvement from community stakeholders as well as independent oversight in order to remedy the conduct that we have identified. to address the unrelying culture we have uncovered and to restore to reveal the trust that has so badly been eroded. now, as the brother of a retired police officer, i know that the

overwhelming majority of america's brave men and women in law enforcement, they do their jobs honestly, with integrity and often at great personal risk. i have immense regard for the vital role they play in all of america's communities and the sacrifices they and their families are too often called to make on behalf of their country. it is in great part for their sake and safety that we must seek to build trust and foster mutual understanding in ferguson and in all communities where suspicious has been allowed to fester. negative practices by individual law enforcement officers and individual departments present a significant danger not only to their communities, but also to committed and hard working public safety officials around the country performing challenging jobs with unwaivering professionalism and valor. clearly, we owe it to these brave men and women to ensure all law enforcement officials have the tools, training and

support they need to do their jobs with maximum safety and effectiveness. now, over the last few months, these goals have driven president obama and me to announce a series of administration proposals that will enable us to help heal mistrust where it is found. from a national relationship for building community trust and justice to a historic new task force which will provide strong federal support to law enforcement at every level op a scale not seen since the johnson administration. these aims allegation have led me to travel throughout the country to atlanta to cleveland, to memphis to chicago to philadelphia to oakland as well as to san francisco to convene a series of round table discussions dedicated to building trust between law enforcement, civil right, youth and community leaders from coast to coast. as these discussions have unfolded, i have repeatedly seen that although the concerns we are focused on today may be

acute in ferguson, they're not confined to any one city, state or region. they implicate questions about fairness and trust that are truly national in scope. they point not to insurmountable divide between people of different perspectives, but to the shared values and common desire for peace, security and for public safety that binds us together. police together as well as protesters. the dialogue by itself will not be sufficient to address these issues because concrete action is what is needed now. concrete action. initiate initiating a broad, frank and inclusive conversation with a necessary and productive first step. in all of the civil rights divisions activities in ferguson as in every pattern of practice division has launched over the last six years our aim is to help facilitate this con ver

sax, to make certain it leads to concrete action and to make sure law enforcement officers in every part of the united states live up to the same high standards. it is clear from work throughout this country, particularly our civil rights division, that the prospect of police accountability and criminal jus justice reform is is an achievable goal. one that we can reach with law enforcement and any members at the table as full partners. last august when i visited ferguson to meet with concerned citizens and community leerds, i made a solemn commitment, that the united states department of justice would continue to stand with the people there long after the national headlines had faded. this week was the conclusion of our investigations into these matters, i again commit to the people of ferguson that we will continue to stand with you and to work with you to ensure that the necessary reforms are implemented and even as we issue our findings in today's reports our work will go on.

it will go on as we engage with the city of ferguson and surrounding municipalities and surrounding municipalities to perform their law enforcement practices and to establish a public safety effort to protect and serve all members of the community. will go on as we broaden this work and extend the assistance of the yus tis department to other communities around the country. and it will go on as we join together with all americans to ensure that public safety is not a burden undertaken by the brave few, but a positive collaboration between everyone in this nation. the report we have issued, steps we have taken are only the beginning of a necessarily resource intensetive and inclusive process to promote reconciliation, to reduce and eliminate bias and to bridge gaps and build understanding. and in the day ss ahead, the department of justice will stay true to my promise the joint --

determine pursuit of justice in every case, in every circumstance and every community across the united states of america. thank you. >> eric holder from the department of justice before an audience of lawyers with a scathing report on the city of ferguson, missouri police department. saying among other things some of the protesters were not guilty wrong, that among the crimes in ferguson seem to be under the ferguson police department standing, walking while black and that they sick dogs on people who were injured 1 is 00% in the african-american community. no white people. the use of police department as a revenue generator and in many cases, it appears from listening to the report. judge andrew napolitano is with us. that was intense. >> it's intense and scathing and it demonstrates a regular,

consistent and systematic and long-term rights of violation of people in ferguson based on the color of their skin. one wonders with sadness why it took a death to recognize this. this is so deep, so engrained in that community. it proceeded by many years that led to the death of mr. brown. it's regrettable it took that death to bring this to attention. >> and the people there will tell you and have told our correspondents and the visitors, this has been going on for years. and it's not as if the statistics weren't there for the st. louis county and the state of missouri to realize the statistics were there and they've been there. >> less anybody think this is political from the obama administration. the justice department is required under federal law to enforce the constitution. the 14th amendment of the constitution has been interpreted by the courts to remove race from the decision making ability of government. federal, state and local, so when the local police make

decisions to prosecute people or harass them or shake them down for money, which is basically what the attorney general is saying happened here on the basis of race and when they do it, do this regularly, consistently and systematically, they have violated the 14th amendment, federal laws written to enforce the 14th amendment and it is the affirmative obligation of the federal government to enter the scene and correct this. >> you wonder if they're, well, we're going to hear from ferguson officials in little while. i wonderful r if there wouldn't be a series of lawsuits here if i'm one who felt like i've been well, they sicked dogs on me or been arrested while walking while black. i wonder if i better find a better call saul moment and get retribution here. >> the report doesn't use proper names in order to keep people's identity from being in the public, but obviously, there are raw records that lawyers can get

their hands on. who was this lady that the police were the attorney general was talking about, the police extracted three or four times the amount of fine and arrested her for six days because she didn't pay quickly enough. obviously, she and the others in here have causes of action against the government. >> we're checking on that one. love to find that lady. judge napolitano, thank you so much. we're expecting to hear from the city of ferguson itself, so how does the city react to this? that will be telling and we'll have reports on that throughout the afternoon. also in the news today fighting the islamic state. the secretary of defense and joint chief's chair testifying on capitol hill. it comes as iranian fighters have joined iraqi fighters to take on isis. think of it. the iraqis whom we armed and trained, now being led by the iranian, our good buddies in the islamic state and our good friends in the islamic republic teaming up to do what i'm sure

nothing but wonderful things. stay tuned. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. my house... it's a full day for me, and i love it. but when i started having back pain my sister had to come help. i don't like asking for help. i took tylenol but i had to take six pills to get through the day. so my daughter brought over some aleve. it's just two pills, all day! and now, i'm back! aleve. two pills. all day strong, all day long. and now introducing aleve pm for a better am.

the fight against the islamic state militants has become a mess. from u.s. officials giving away more plans about the operation in iraq to iran lead inging the fight frg saddam hussein's hometown. the defense secretary, the new one, ash carter giving candid testimony it appeared at least today on capitol hill. secretary carter says he is very concerned that iran is taking the lead in the operation in to crete against isis. the u.s. maililitary sitting on the sidelines despite the nearly 3,000 troops who are now sitting in iraq. today marks the third day of the iran-led operation to retaseke tikrit. iraqi forces are advancing today, but roadside bombs are said to have slowed their progress. u.s. commanders did not even alert the united states to its

plans and it may be because iran's revolutionary guard is leading the operation. remember analysts say tikrit could be vital in the fight for mosul if that fight even happens. the new defense secretary apparently did not hold anything back today in his testimony. he noted he disagrees with president obama's decision to ask for only three years to fight isis in his request to authorize military force. secretary carter says the war itself will take longer than three years since isis dubt follow our political calendar. jennifer is the pentagon changing its strategy? >> it might. the u.s.-led coalition which included saudi arabia and uae and qatar were not told about the large operation. they had to learn about it through satellite images. why? because the operation is being led by this man, the shadowy

head of the kuts force. >> if this becomes an excuse to ethnic clens, then ethnic clepz, then our campaign has a problem and we're going to have to make an adjustment. >> the pentagon is concerned the shi's may secretory ritry bugs. >> it's my understanding that ash carter raised eyebrows today. what did he say? >> well, in surprisingly frank remarks on the hill today, he said he thought it was a mistake for the white house to put a three-year deadline on the authorization to use military force to fight isis. he said it was based on the political calendar and not the military calendar. >> i wouldn't assure anyone that this will be over in three years or that the campaign would be completed in three years, the three years comes from the fact

that there will be a presidential election in two years and so forth and i respect that. these b1 bombers shown here in video we've just obtained will be needed during any operation to retake mosul, an operation that is being pushed back to the fall. carter said -- is investigating why details were revealed. >> nice to see you. thank you. our next guest says iran's role in the operation to retake tikrit concerns her because the loss could become iran's gain. jessica joins us now. she's currently a research director at the institute for study of war. thank you. >> thank you. >> iran leading the charge with iraqis in tkrit. explain the big picture. >> tikrit represents everything

complicated about iraq. on the one hand, it is great any force is is going to chalice and its control of the capital. on the other hand, it does look like this is an iranian-led operation and the concern i have is actually not sectarianism in the wake of the battle, but actually, the degree of iranian insolence over how the iraqi security forces are forming their offensive campaign. and my question is after tikrit, what does that mean from mosul? are there going to be two battle plans? >> in other words, might iran have one plan and might the united states leadership have another? >> i think it's a real concern if the operation for tikrit came with no warning. >> and it's no question that iran certain isly would like to have more influence. it has enormous influence over full regional capitals there right?

>> well yes, and in fact, the shia militias that are becoming more involved in operations and are participating in baghdad security are more and more becoming vocal in their anti u.s. statements. even accusing the u.s. of collaborating with isis. this is a very dangerous trend. >> and that's because it appears that so many of those along sectarian twids twooef sectarian divides believe that united states favors one over the other. is that the perception? >> i don't think it's the independent perception of iraq. >> that's not the one that matters. >> right, but it is the one that iran is influencing heavily. there is an information operation to counter the u.s. right now and that leads to be a consideration for how the u.s. moves forward with a plan at the end of the day to defeat isis through reestablishing iraq's sovereignty. >> what does that change practicely speaking about our approach? in the near term. because the suggestion was that this assault on mosul, which is

very important, might come in the spring. >> well first we need to recognize that the opportunity does actually radiate from baghdad. i'm pretty sure that the iraqi government does not want to be heavily beenholden to iran at the end of the day and i'm pretty sure they want to have control of their security forces at the end of the day. that's an incredible opportunity for the united states. >> what degree of concern do you have that because americans are work working from the air and iranian and ohs are working from the ground, that we're going to lose touch with individuals there? i've always heard you can't really collect intelligence from people you shoot dead from a drone. the same holds true i guess for a united states air strike. >> well, yes, it does, but i'd also agree there are populations and there are particular fronts

inside of iraq where that ground engagement is still a very good possibility, but part of the challenge is that -- in mosul are in one part of battle space tikrit is in another and anbar is in a third. >> it's good to talk to you. thanks so much. >> thank you. jessica. i might have said jennifer. sex spies and accusations of lies. ahead, our correspondent's exclusive interview with a former cia officer who said the cia tried to ruin his relationship. sounds like a personal problem? wait until you hear this. ♪ what's the number one college major for students who
