mcdonalds for life. let's get to it ♪ >> now, shepard smith reporting, live from the fox news deck. >> shepard: first from the fox news deck this friday afternoon, the teenaged girl who you may have heard about surviving, getting pushed off a bridge and falling 50 feet into a river is now talking about what happened. she says she could have easily drowned but a group of people nearby helped her, including an off-duty emt. cell phone video of the push has gone viral. >> 3, 2. >> no i won't. >> ready? [screams] >> shepard: 50 feet. the girl who fell into the water is 16-year-old jordan holderson. doctors say that she has five cracked ribs and a collapsed lung. jordan says the person who pushed her was a friend. she says the two of them climbed up to the molten falls bridge near vancouver

in washington which is just north of the oregon border. the bridge is apparent lay popular place to jump even though there are signs warning don't jump. the teenager says she thought about doing it but when she backed out at the very last second her friend pushed her. she described what that moment was like. >> in the air, i think i might have fainted but when i hit the water i was definitely awake and aware. >> shepard: witnesses say she landed face down in the water similar to a belly flop. so far we haven't heard from the person who did the pushing. trace gallagher on fox top story. trace, what more do we know? >> well, we know that at first the reason jordan holderson wanted to jump because she saw her friend do it just minutes before. at the last minute when she realized just how high she was she decided against it and holderson told a portland affiliate she was up on the bridge with an adult family friend and said quoting here, meaning the friend, was counting down but i didn't think anything of it and i was like no, don't countdown like, won't go if you countdown i i'm

not ready and then she pushed me. watch again. >> know won't go. >> 3, 2. >> once you say no. >> no. >> ready? [screams] >> yeah, you could hear the teen say she no longer wanted to jump. holderson says she doesn't remember much of the fall except she was trying to change her body position in the air. >> i could have died, easily in the air i was trying to push myself forward so i could be like straight up and down so that my feet hit first but that didn't really work. >> it didn't really hurt. hit the water face first, puncturing her lung and air bundles in her chest. people thought when she surfaced she was fine but then she started drowning. a off-duty medic swam tout rescue her. 50% of people die when you fall that high. the teen was lucky she wasn't paralyzed. >> she fell in the water

which people might say is not that bad because it's water. when you are falling from that height, the water is like concrete. >> as for the woman who pushed holderson, she has since apoll gilzed but the teen's sister says the woman should face consequences. the clark county sheriff's office says they are conducting a criminal investigation. holderson has now been advised by police not to say anything else about what happened. and even though there are warning signs that say no jumping or diving, that hasn't stopped many people. in fact, authorities say so far this summer there have been numerous injuries, firefighters have even responded to a record number of calls from the 50 to 60-foot bridge, including a man pulled from the water unconscious. as for holderson, she should be out of the hospital in a couple of days but it's going to be a while before she is back to 100 percent. shep? >> shepard: trace, thanks. caroline policy is here defense attorney. is this a crime. >> it definitely could be a crime. one thing is for sure. she will be facing civil

liability for payment for the girl's treatment. obviously the medical bills are going to be high from that. but definitely, you know, police are going to investigate whether or not there was an intention behind this pushing. it seems like. >> oh. >> in terms of a crime being committed the question is whether or not it was reckless or whether or not it was intentional. you know, it obviously was an intentional push. the question was what was the impact behind the push? it could go either way. >> shepard: you know, you jump or you dive with that thought to penetrate the water in such a way that you don't brace yourself, that's one thing. >> right. >> shepard: this kind of looks like, not passing judgment, this isn't a court. you look at the video, i don't know about you at home. kind of looked like some dude went sorry, not thinking as kids do. >> reckless behavior can, in fact, be criminal behavior. so, you know, like a manslaughter charge, for example, that's the reckless infliction of a homicide on somebody without the malice aforethought.

that's the technical term you use in the law. very well they could have just been playing a game. reckless behavior still has to be prosecuted. >> shepard: she is pretty banged up. >> yeah. >> shepard: great to see you, caroline. >> thanks for having me. >> shepard: a mystery delay in the manafort trial this morning. just about 9:30 east coast time an unexplained we says in the frank fraud trial in the one time campaign manager paul manafort. then about an hour later, the judge brought back the jury, reminded them to keep an open mind and follow all instructions and then judge t.s. ellis, who has been moving in case along at what legal analysts call break neck speed announced the court would be dark until afternoon unti so that the judge could do something else. wknow not what. we were led the defense woulprosecutionwould rest its ce defense would take over. it finally about before 2:30. no explanation as to what had been going on all day.

instead of the prosecution resting, it called another witness. the feds say president trump's former campaign chairman was the master mind of a multi-million-dollar scheme to evade u.s. tax and banking laws. he face more than a dozen charges for the lobbying he did for a pro-party political party in ukraine. manafort pleaded not guilty to everything. peter doocy is at the courthouse outside washington. i understand examination continued when court resumed but what happened? >> well, initially when the judge said, mr. andreas, the prosecutor, you can call your next witness. the prosecutor pointed out, what about the jury? the jury hadn't even come in yet. but, they brought the jury in. the first witness sat down. his name is dennis raco. he was given immunity to testify. formerly a banker with the chicago-based federal savings bank. he is alleging right now that there is some quid pro quo at play while paul manafort was in charge of the trump campaign. this witness just testified that he knew his boss, ceo

steven kopp was interested in politics. so eventually he participates in a meeting with paul manafort. expresses he would be interested in help serve the trump campaign. the witnesses said the day after he expressed that manafort. the bank that he ran approved a 16-million-dollar loan for paul manafort. the witness says he has never seen a lone get loan get d that fast. manafort emailed this witness dennis raco asking for his boss' resume that is notable. rick gates testified that paul manafort once emailed him during the trump transition to try to get this ceo considered as a nominee knee for secretary of the army. that never happened. but he did previously serve on economic advisory council to the trump campaign. t.s. ellis did not do what the mueller team wanted to today was tell the jury maybe he was too hard on the government's lawyers yesterday when he chastised them for talking about loans

paul manafort didn't get instead of loans did he get. the government filed a motion. the court's suggestion, however, that the government was unnecessarily spending time on a loan that manafort did not receive undermines the well-established law on conspiracy, undercuts the charge in count 28 and is likely to confuse and mislead the jury. but just now the court graveled back. in there was no apology or explanation from the judge about what he said yesterday or why he took so long to get started today. shep? >> shepard: all right. thanks a lot. let's go back to caroline policy who i mentioned is a defense attorney and has been following this thing. most trials there is a delay and you are like okay, there is another delay. not under this rocket docket. not under judge ellis. this is unusual. and we know he has something that he is working on that's under seal we assume that's the other russia investigation. we don't know. >> recently there was a ruling to keep that side bar under seal. the side bar about whether or not the prosecutor had

asked gates whether or not he had talked with prosecutors about his work on the trump campaign. now, the defense, you know, raised objection to that and then they went to side bar. and that talk has been placed under seal. the indication of which, obviously being that gates is providing ongoing assistance in an ongoing investigation. you know, when you sign up to cooperate with the government, shep, you don't get to pick and choose how you cooperate. >> shepard: or on what. >> you don't get to select i'm going to tell you this information but thought that information. it's a global agreement. the government is going to write a letter at gates' sentencing to detail the amount of, you know, effort and assistance he gave to the government overall prosecution. so, there could very well be much more to gates' cooperation. i think that's really the bombshell in this whole story here. >> shepard: if there is more to gates' cooperation it could extend across multiple fronts. >> yeah. >> shepard: honest truth is we don't know exactly where mueller is going with this. we do know of manafort that

he came to the campaign for free. that one of the first things he did was change the republican platform to do to favor russia. we know there was the russian meeting and the president dictated, according to his own lawyers, a memo about what happened in that meeting, which turned out to be lacking in truth. and now here we are. so to say that it isn't all related is just to ignore the obvious. >> it's the mosaic. pieces of the puzzle coming into focus now. the tag line on this trial has always been this has nothing to do with manafort's time on the trump team. i think it's getting up to the line there. we are seeing the man that came to work on the trump campaign was the man very much in debt. in over his head and needed money. then he went to work for the trump campaign for free. you have to ask some questions about that. >> shepard: they are asking them. >> yeah. >> shepard: caroline, thank you, on two different stories. >> thanks for having me.

of course, her time with president trump goes back to the apprentice as i mentioned. the white house not commenting specifically on the hush money claim or any of the rest of it but on the book in general, the press secretary sarah sanders says this. instead of telling the truth all the good president trump and his administration are doing to make america safe, prosperous, this book is riddled with lies and false accusations. she goes on it's sad that a disgruntled former white house employee is trying to profit off these false attacks and even worse that the media would give her a platform after not taking her seriously when she had only positive things to say about the president during her time in the administration. she was actually a guest on our program at that convention. and she talked just about that. times have changed since then. the book is coming out. she'll be on one of the sunday shows this weekend. and we'll learn the rest of the allegation pretty quick. a college basketball coach from wake forest has turned himself in after cops say he punched a stranger, who later died, in new york

city. the wake forest assistant men's basketball coach jamil jones has now pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor assault. remember that misdemeanor assault. investigators say over the weekend jones punched a man who then fell, smashed his head on the sidewalk in long island city just across the east river, never regained consciousness and died. the victim was shandor somebody a bow in town for a family wedding. he is in the right in this picture. this photo taken hours before that punch which ended in death. police say he was looking for an uber driver after the wedding. it was all over the local papers here in new york city. he had gone up to a window and knocked on that window thinking maybe this is the uber, we're told. but banged on the window of that basketball coach. and cops say the coach got out, punched somebody punch sae away. we reached out to jones' attorney and invited him to appear on this newscast. we haven't heard back yet. we did receive this

statement earlier today from his attorney quoting the jones family stands by jamil and his legal right to be presumed innocent in what is, ultimately, a tragic incident. sabo's family took him off life support on tuesday. his mother donna kent joins us now from raleigh, north carolina. ms. kent, i'm so very sorry for your loss. >> thank you. >> the punch resulted in a fall, which i understanding resulted in your son's death. and now the charge is assault. and what's your position on this? >> this is not assault. we were so shocked when they said it was an assault charge. when we went to see shsandor. this was a punch so hard that resulted in my son's teeth going through his lip. so for assault, immediately when they called us, they

knew that sandor had passed. 99.9% sure he would never come back to us. the detective told us right when they saw sandor they knew it they treated it as a homicide immediately not as an assault. they said if they did an assault there wouldn't be that many people looking into it. we are grateful they felt it was a homicide from the very beginning and treated it that way u forehim to just have an assault charge was shocking and disappointing when you are. >> shepard: please, go ahead. >> when you are responsible for somebody's death. you hit them so hard you believe, don't show up again for five days and you think an assault is what you should be charged with? you are just wrong. and he knows it. >> shepard: i think there was great surprise here in the tri-state area to hear that this basketball coach had left with someone so

sense of humor. such a giver. he loved to dive, he loved to spear fish. he was an amazing cook. he was just the best. he is so creative he was at probably the best point in his life that he could be in. he was so happy. he was working for a media company where he was bringing accounts that were producing nothing just a year ago to producing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year, accounts that people said would do nothing. he was like i'm going to make this account for this person do something. so a hard worker, just didn't take anything for granted. but one thing we have got to say he lived life to the fullest. he lived so many lives. you know, i know god needed another angel. but i am just thankful that angel was given to me for such a short time because he was really special. >> shepard: miss cengt,

right away. russia is warning the united states against ramping up sanctions against the russians. the russian prime minister telling the trump administration to stay away from his nation's banks or else. >> if something like a ban on bank operation or currency use follows it will amount to a declaration of economic war. and it will warrant the response with economic means, political means, and, if necessary, other means. our american friends should understand that. >> shepard: and they should understand they started a cyber war. the prime minister did not specify what he meant by other means. his comments coming a couple of days after the state department announced new penalties against russia for using a chemical weapon to try to kill a former spy and his daughter on british soil. both survived. and russia has denied playing any part in the poisoning as it denies playing any part in everything. the fox business network's blake burman is live at the white house this afternoon. blake? >> hi there, shepard. sanctions against russia for the poisoning of sergei

skripal and his daughter won't be coming officially until about a couple of weeks away at some point later this month. but, russia appears to be more worried about what could potentially come down the line, at least 90 days from now in early november because the state department says that a potential second batch of sanctions could hit then and that could prohibit americans from making bank loans to certain russian entities. keep in mind as well, that there is also legislation bouncing around up on capitol hill that would target russian controlled banks. the number two inside russia, the prime minister there, dmitry medvedev saying today if that were to occur, that would essentially amount to what he described as economic war. the state department says the goal of sanctions is to change russia's actions on the world stage. >> we would like to have a better relationship with the russian government. recognizing that we have a lot of areas of mutual concern. it is a major country.

we are a major country as well. and so whether you have that, you are forced to have to have conversations with other governments. and sanctions is a way that we can try to encourage better behavior on the part of government. >> state department also revealed just a little while ago that the secretary of state mike pompeo spoke today with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov. the state department says that conversation was in part about the sanctions. and we better relationship with russia. >> shepard: nortrussia. >> shepard: new york is claiminnorth korea isnot claimss is not living up to the bargain. north korea made a big show of blowing up a nuclear test site and last week they handed over what are believed to be the remains of american soldiers from the korean war. but, there have also been signs that north korea is

actually expanding its nuclear weapons program instead of scaling it back. pyongyang is accusing some high level officials within the u.s. administration. and that's what they're saying, no names. just some high level officials within the u.s. administration of going against president trump's wishes and, quote, inciting international sanctions and pressure against north korea, even though the regime claims it has halted nuclear ballistic missile tests. national security advisor john bolton recently said that the united states has held up its end of the bargain answered blamed north korea for failing to take the necessary steps towards getting rid of its nukes. jeff mason is here. white house correspondent for reuters, usually with us from washington. good to see you here. >> good to be here, shep. >> shepard: i don't know who this is a surprise to that the north koreans are rolling on with their nukes, apparently they are and now they are mad at us. >> mad and being very clever how they express that anger by trying to sort of engender or lead to some divisions within the administration. those divisions are probably between ambassador bolton

who said recently that north korea had knot done what it needed to to stop its nuclear weapons. and secretary pompeo who has been a little bit more open-minded, a little bit more urging of patience with north korea. >> shepard: is there a concern among any of those with whom you correspond that this will become a problem or is this just the same old north korea stall tactics? >> well, number one in terms of concern. president trump really wants this succeed. if there is concern, it's related to that bolton has a his history of being a real hawk with north korea. >> shepard: until about five minutes ago it seems like. >> his advisors have said his positions preadministration really don't matter very much because now that he is in the government he works for president trump. the fact that he was comfortable to say, look, north korea isn't doing what it needs to on its nuclear weapons, that shows that that hawkish nature is still there north korea is trying to sort of probably hone in on that and say look, this isn't what we sibsd up for

in singapore. >> shepard: there was a time when was great hope at least in some quarters that this agreement, this meeting there together might produce something. and then when you -- looked at more closely by reporters and others, it appeared that the promises that the north koreans made mirrored promises they made to other administrations. >> that's exactly right. that's a criticism that president trump does not take well and does not want to hear. he feels strongly that they did something goodbye going to singapore. but there is some evidence that those agreements may have been, you know, not as far reaching as he would like. >> shepard: white house people have been in new jersey with the president for the last week or so, week and a half as he has been taking a working vacation. how is bedminster. >> it's fine. bedminster, new jersey, it's been fine. >> shepard: no golf, i'm guessing. >> they say he is not even on vacation. >> shepard: i meant for y'all. >> not for us. >> shepard: good to have you in new york. >> good to be here. >> shepard: see you soon, jeff. the case of the missing college student. mollie tibbets disappeared

>> shepard: a former fbi profiler tells fox news that shia she thinks there is a good chance mollie tibbets got in the car with somebody she knew on the night she disappeared from her hometown in central iowa. that disappearance was more than a month ago now. earlier this week mollie tibbets' father said on this program that he believes his daughter is with somebody she knows. and that this person is now in over their head. so he made it clear, after he said it that he was trying to say it was total speculation. yesterday we reported mollie's boyfriend and her brother said there were no signs of a struggle at the home they were staying. they said mollie probably would have fought back if somebody tried to kidnap her. matt finn has been following

this from jump and he is live in brooklyn, iowa. matt, what are you learning? >> shep, this afternoon the reward for mollie tibbets has grown to $332,000. crime stoppers tells us that's the largest award in his organization in iowa state history. they received 935 tips. a federal investigator on the ground in this case tells fox news that they are taking every one of these tips and leads seriously and, quote: have questioned everybody in this county. and, shepard, happening right now, we have these new pictures to show you, mollie tibbets' father ron tibets is at the iowa state fair right now doing interviews and handing out fliers, using that attraction as an as an opportunity to raise awareness for his missing daughter. today there was a press conference scheduled. but the lead agency cancelled that press conference for the second time and that was a pretty big letdown because here on the ground investigators are not answering any questions to the media or to the public outside of these press conferences. so the press conferences

become highly anticipated two in a row got cancelled. the lead agency in this investigation the iowa investigation of criminal investigation tells us that they cancelled today's press conference because they had nothing to offer the media and the public today. however, they do tell us they have a bit of information to give us on monday at that press conference. what that information is we will find out on monday. mollie tibbets was also a state champ in public speaking and speech. and we just did an interview with her coach and teacher that she was very close with. he calls her super responsible and a go-getter. here's what that teacher had to say. >> she was filled with confidence and strength. so she was able to kind of build herself up and try to build other people up. and i read that mollie was missing and it was like a gut punch. just one of those things where one of the people that you expected to be fine was not fine. >> now, shepard, you mentioned that fbi profiler who agrees with the family in the theory that

polypotentially got into a car with someone she knows. that profiler is saying kidnapping mollie would have been a hard feat to pull off. if a kidnapper had kidnapped her he would have been noticed in this town. standing on the street where mollie tibbets was perhaps seen jogging. over this hill is interstate 80 and not too far away is highway 6. everyone in this case, including investigators, have acknowledged that there is the possibility that someone got interstate 80 or highway 6, ended up in this town and then something unfortunate happened. shep? >> shepard: matt finn on scene again for us today. thank you. wildfire alert. the smoke from the wildfire scorching california has now spread all the way across the country to the east coast. look at this image from the national weather service. i think we have one. do we? oh, we can't get it up right now. we will get it for you. if not we will post it online. here's the thing. the smoke has traveled about 3,000 miles and in that image from the national weather service, you can see it's covering a really large
