12:03 pm
sheriff says there's multiple victims. their condition can unknown. a photographer that said he witnessed this crash reports a semi truck jumped the median on i-94 near highway 20 around 11:00 a.m. the truck caught fire and exploded sending two other vehicles on fire. interstate 94 in this area, about 20 minutes south of milwaukee, is completely closed north and southbound. there's already congestion and massive amounts of construction in this area because of the fox con development. lanes are narrow with no shoulders. the department of transportation says there's no estimate of when this highway will reopen. a major investigation. we'll keep you updated. >> matt finn in chicago. thank you. we're watching both of those. meantime, hope hicks on capitol hill today. she met with the house judiciary committee. democrats say president trump's former communications director and confident is not answering questions about her time in the white house. hope hicks left the administration last year and is
12:04 pm
currently the executive vice president and chief communications officer for fox corporation. that is the parent company of this network. this is the first time lawmakers are hearing from someone linked to the president's inner circle since the release of the redacted mueller report. hope hicks was there for key moments in the russia investigation including firing of james comey and the trump tower meeting between top campaign officials and a russian lawyer offering dirt on hillary clinton. hope hicks' name appears 184 times in the mueller report to mueller, she described after she gave a false statements claiming there were no contacts with a foreign campaign and entities, hope hicks asked other campaign officials whether the statement was true. she previously testified on capitol hill in private and in doing so admitted she told white lies for the president but not about matters of substance. she said the former aide is
12:05 pm
immune from testifying about working in the trump administration. but the president has not exerted executive privilege and some democrats are calling her refusal to answer questions obstruction of justice. catherine herridge reporting live from washington. catherine? >> shep, hicks is still behind closed doors. they're going to about the fourth hour of testimony as part of this transcribed interview. late last night, the white house counsel put the democrats on notice that there were some areas that would be off limits, that the scope of the interview would be limited. they cited constitutional immunity and potential implications for executive privilege. the white house counsel's letter reads in party, the department of justice has advised me that mrs. hicks is immune from compelled congressional testimony with respect to matters during her service as a
12:06 pm
senior adviser with the president. democrats are not satisfied and we heard from them. >> i'm watching obstruction of justice in action. you have the white house asserting immunity, which is not a thing. doesn't exist. you have to ask the question what are they trying to hide from the american people? >> it's an ongoing effort to prevent the american people from knowing the full truth. >> democrats said they wanted information about five events of alleged obstruction. among them, the firing of director comey in may of 2017, whether the original rationale was the clinton e-mail investigation and handling of the investigation or whether it had to do with russia. then also the termination of the former national security adviser, mike flynn, shep. >> shepard: catherine, republicans say the democrats complaint are without merit. >> they point to this letter from the white house counsel last night. they say look, when you have a presidential aide, the whole
12:07 pm
idea behind executive privilege is that the president has to have a mechanism to shield his communications so that he can have honest deliberations when he's making decision-making in the white house. so they say it applies in this case and also accuse democrats of not being happy with the findings of the special counsel investigation. here's the chairman ranking member, dot collins. >> this is another time that they can get a press release, that the democrats continue to try to relitigate the mueller investigation. >> the democrats are trying to relitigate the entire mueller investigation. so that's what they have hope hicks there for. there's been nothing of real substance other than reference to mueller report. >> what we anticipate from the committee, shep, once the interview is complete, there will be some kind of review. they're promising reporters it will be released within 48 hours. so everybody can decide from themselves whether any refusal to answer questions is based on
12:08 pm
a legitimate request by the white house or whether as the democrats say it amounts to obstruction, shep. >> shepard: they're claiming executive privilege but the president has not exerted executive privilege. >> they're saying implications of executive privilege, if you look at the letter closely. don't go as far as executive privilege. but they cite implications over the transition period. >> my understand of executive privilege, it is or it isn't. but you have to exert it or it isn't. >> that's for the lawyers, right? that's what they're arguing about tonight. >> shepard: that is for the lawyers. thanks so much. can you put a price on suffering in on enslaving people? destroying generations of families? that debate is underway or capitol hill today and for the first time in more than a decade, and it's gotten heated, the details coming up as our reporting continues on this wednesday afternoon. let's see, aleve is proven better on pain

>> shepard: an update of the breaking news of the train off the tracks in wells, nevada. i mentioned hazmat crews on scene. i mentioned explosives. authorities confirmed there's no explosives but there are believed to be hazardous materials. the area is still shut down. authorities are still investigating. updates as promised as they come in. reparations for slavery. should the united states government pay for enslaving human beings in and the decades of segregation that followed? a house hearing on that matter exploded today on capitol hill. the first of its kind in more than a decade. one of the witnesses, a writer for the online publication, coleman hughes.
12:14 pm
he said america's failure to pay reparations to slaves when they were freed is a great injustice of the nation. that said, he slammed reparations now as a moral and political mistake. >> it's not contingent on ancestry. it never expires and can't be paid off. bill hr 40 is a political and moral mistake. thank you. >> thank you, mr. hughes. chill, chill, chill. he was presumptive but still has a right to speak. >> cory booker of new jersey said that he supports the payment of reparations. >> we as a nation must address this persistent and inequalities or we will never fully achieve the strength and the possibility. hope is the active conviction that despair will not have the last word. i believe that right now today
12:15 pm
we have a historic opportunity to break the silence, to speak to the ugly past and talk constructively about how we will move this nation forward. >> shepard: the hearing was well-attended. visitors lined up outside the hearing room on capitol hill. one woman told an associated press writer that she waited two hours to get inside. opponents say it's not fair to hold americans responsible today for what their ancestors did 150 years ago. ellison barber reporting live. ellison? >> shepard, cheers and boos. a lot of different opinions here. supporters discussed hr 40 say the difference of opinion is why this legislation needs to pass so americans can have the discussion in a serious way. supporters of the bill say the critics are misinterpreting what the legislation does. it calls for the establishment of a commission to look at the
12:16 pm
issue of slavery and reparations. it does not call for reparations and does not have a specific dollar figure. some opponents say while slavery was wrong, the people that supported it and the people impacted by it are no longer alive. supporters say the effects of slavery, the systematic racism kept going long after emancipation. listen to those arguments. >> the people that are owed for slavery are not longer here. we're not entitled to collect on their debts. reparations by definition are given to victims. the moment you give me reparations, you've made me into a victim without my consent. >> the redlining of chicago and the looting of black homeowners, victims of the plunder are alive today. scholars look at this issue of
12:17 pm
having 3 components. acknowledgement resolution and reconciliation. the commission this bill would establish would look at all of it. house majority leader steny hoyer he believes hr 40 will get a floor vote out of committee. even if it passes the house, the legislation would likely die in the senate. mitch mcconnell says he does not support reparations. >> shepard: thank you. let's go to aaron haynes hack now. she writes about race and ethnicity for the associated press and was inside today's hearing. thank you. >> thank you, shep. how are you? >> shepard: i'm great. what stood out to you as the biggest moment? >> i'd have to say probably writer coats taking on mitch
12:18 pm
mcconnell's comments from yesterday saying we don't know who we would pay for reparations and don't know how that would work, don't know -- no one is alive today is responsible for reparations. to that, coates pushed back and said if you think about the folks that lived through jim crow segregation, the brutality and oppression of that area, a lot of people are with us today. that could be a good start. even suggested that maybe some of the victims of that era would be happy to speak to the majority leader and share their experiences if he's wondering who may be could benefit from reparations in america today. >> shepard: new yorkers read of segregated schools in our school systems here in the largest city in the country today. was any of that discussed? >> that was discussed some. you have people on both sides of the issue saying there should be more of a focus on the current
12:19 pm
racial disparities that are affecting black americans living right now, issues varying from education, mass incarceration, the continued housing discrimination, the ongoing health and income gap in america are a few things that could be addressed. not necessarily reparations but other legislative policies that could impact black americans. >> shepard: from your reporting today, did you get a sense of those in charge that this bill would make it to the floor and might receive a vote? i heard from ellison that it was said it would. is that a reality? >> i think that congress woman sheila jackson lee out of texas that is sponsoring the bill after former congressman john conyers first sponsored it in 1989 and sponsored it until he resigned from congress in 2017,
12:20 pm
she seems to think this is a moment before the issue of reparations, which was a fringe issue in this country but is in the 2020 presidential conversation and is in the halls of congress for the first time since 2007. so the speakers in support of a commission to study reparations, which is house resolution 40 is calling for are saying that they really feel that this is a historic and urgent moment whose time is overdue to reckon with american's original sin of slavery. >> shepard: representative jackson lee said this is not a symbolic action, which so many people have taken it to be but a real matter of urgency, at least from the democratic party. >> absolutely. she noted that because in particular this hearing was held today on juneteenth, which is a cultural holiday celebrated by many african americans that commemorate the emancipation of
12:21 pm
enslaved black people in this country. so while she certainly appreciated this hearing was taking place on juneteenth, she wanted people to know that this is not the last folks could expect to hear. >> errin haynes whack, thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> shepard: if i asked you to name jobs that required physical strength, what would come to mind? firefighters, hauling gear up a flight of stairs, sanitation workers. how about airline pilots? ahead, why boeing executives are reportedly concerned that some pilots may not have the strength to perform a job in an emergency. value. thank you, admiral. so if you need money for your family, call newday usa. need cash? at newday, veteran homeowners can get $54,000 dollars or more to consolidate high rate credit card debt

12:27 pm
police have zeroed in on whoever paid for the alleged ten. listen to what one of the suspects had to say about how the shooting went down. >> it wasn't for david. it was for someone else. i asked him to forgive me. >> the red sox also recently released a statement on behalf of david ortiz's wife where she thanked everybody that stood by them. shep? >> shepard: tell us what's going on with the at the times of the americans there in the d.r. >> the state department confirming now that nine americans and tourists have died at about the span of 12 months here in the dominican republic. in these cases, local authorities say that the people that have died have either died from heart attacks or respiratory problems. this all happened at different hotels and resorts around the island.
12:28 pm
so american and local authorities have not said the deaths are connected. the tourism director said the deaths are isolated. and one of the brothers of one of the deceased was asked if he trusts the dominican republic. >> honestly, no. if there's a problem, i don't trust the place or the location that has an interest in keeping in under the rug if it is something major to be the ones that are in charge of this investigation. >> we're waiting on the results of three toxicology tests. we're learning that the son of one of the tourists was killed received blood samples and he's going to get them tested as well. >> shepard: some 737 pilots may need to hit the gym after they may not be strong enough to carry out a certain maneuver
12:29 pm
procedure. that's according to the "wall street journal." the journal reports the procedure involved the hand-turning of a crank to adjust the jet's angle. it's just for emergencies. can it apparently take a lot of force. the 737 max has been grounded for months after a pair of deadly crashes. again, the journal reports this same issue may exist in thousands of other passenger jets that are still up in the air. trace gallagher with the rest of this story live for us. trace? >> shep, the "wall street journal" is reporting that boeing and air safety officials are concerned that female pilots with less upper body stress might have a tough time using the manual hand crank. it's the panel for the tail section of the plane, to adjust the angle of the nose. there's no plans to restrict any pilot from flying based on strength. pilots and safety experts,
12:30 pm
including former director of the faa's accident investigation division says this is not about strength. it's about the system itself and here's why. if a plane is in a steep dive, the stabilizer is pushed down. to counter act that, the pilots pull up on the yolk which brings up the elevator, which is the small wing on the tail. if tell investigator is up and the stabilizer is down, they're working against each other. with the jet moving at several hundred miles an hour because of the force, it's difficult for anyone to move the trim wheel. same pilot sully sullenberger backs that up. >> they need to develop a muscle memory of their experiences so that it will be immediately accessible to them in future, even years from now when they face such a crisis. >> we should note in the ethiopian airlines crash, the second of the two 737 max
12:31 pm
pilots, the pilots do all the thing right that forced the plane in a nose dive. the pilots couldn't budge the stabilizer. the same issue applies to previous generations of the 737, which is 6300 planes used by 150 airlines. we contacted boeing. they referred us to the faa and said this issue is not stopping 737 maxx jets from getting back in the air. shep? >> shepard: thanks. a new report out from the united nations on the murder of "the washington post" columnist jamal khaishoggi. a u.n. investigator says there's credible evidence to invest great the saudi crown prince. details are staggering. and the trial of a navy seal accused of murdering an isis fighter. new testimony today from one seal that formally served with him. we're live at the courthouse.

12:37 pm
jonathan is live at the proceedings in san diego. jonathan? >> shep, good afternoon. it has so far been a tough day for the defense with testimony from a navy seal who served alongside chief gallagher. dylan delay who has left the navy testified in court that even before seal team 7 deployed to iraq in 2017, chief gallagher had talked about capturing an isis fighter. delay said "chief gallagher said if we ever get a wounded enemy, the medics know what to do to nurse him to death." that is significant. prosecutors say chief gallagher killed an isis fighter brought to him in may 2017, stabbing the fightner the next under the guise of performing surgery. the navy seal, dillon delay testified today, shep, that
12:38 pm
after the death of the fighter, chief gallagher posed for photos. the jury was shown some of those photos including one in which gallagher is seen holding the fighter by the hair with his knife in his hand. dylan dille said the isis fighter looked about 12 years old. shep? >> shepard: what are we hearing from the defense, jonathan? >> the lead defense attorney tells me that every one of the seals that is set to testify against chief gallagher is a "coward and a liar." i asked him what it does to the reputation of the seals as a whole when he uses terms like that. he said that the greater damage is done by accusing a seal commander of murder. listen here. >> when we send these guys out, they expect us to have their back. when they're out there fighting this fight, they shouldn't be
12:39 pm
worried about ncis, their subordinates or prosecutors bringing them up on charges. all he did is go out and protect all of us. now he's facing murder charges. >> later this afternoon, shep, we expect to hear from another navy seal. one that the prosecution considered their star witness. a seal who will testify, we're told, that he actually saw chief edward gallagher plunging his knife in the neck of that wounded isis fighter. shep? >> shepard: jonathan hunt covering the trial in san diego, a new report out today calling for the united nations to investigate the murder of the washington columnist jamal khaishoggi and specifically the saudi crown prince's role in it. the report from an independent investigator at the united nations found credible evidence warranting further investigation
12:40 pm
of high level saudi officials, individual liability including the crown prince. the u.n. report is specific and extremely graphic. it says the operation involved multiple flights including two private jets, one under diplomatic clearance and entailed training with two saudis from istanbul flying to riyadh and preparation. it required planning and execution in istanbul. the document describes whether the sacrificeal animal had arrived and the presence of a pathologist among those on the hit squad. and khaishoggi was a fears critic of mohammed bin salman. he went into the consulate and never came out. intelligence officials say agents murdered khaishoggi and hacked up his body with a bone
12:41 pm
saw as described in the audio recording. the crown prince denies any involvement in khaishoggi's death. while the u.s. have not blamed the death on him, it's hard to believe that a saudi team could have carried all of this out without somebody at the top signing off on all of it. our state department correspondent rich edson reporting. the saudis say there's nothing to this. >> yeah, they call this baseless. they say the only people that will prosecute is their own judiciary. they say we strongly attempt to divert the case or influence it in any way. the united nations mentioned the crown prince dozens of people in the result. that an operation could be implemented without the crown prince being a wear and some
12:42 pm
sort of a criminal nature directed at mr. khaishoggi was being launched. saudi arabia has defended the crown prince and charged 11 others with the murder. shep? >> shepard: what are we hearing from the trump administration on this? >> the state department just got back and said they're reviewing the details of the report. they have consulted about khaishoggi's murder with u.n. officials on that and that the united states will press for accountability for every person that was responsible. the state department has revoked visas for those that they believe are responsible for khaishoggi's murder. there has been no sanction against the crown prince mohammed bin salman. mike pompeo wrote in the "wall street journal" that while the united states does not condone khaishoggi's murder, that saudi arabia is a powerful force for middle east stability, a few hours ago, the president's nominee to lead the u.n. mission for the united states commented and was asked about this report.
12:43 pm
>> we will and i will give you my word on this and we know there is an investigation. we will follow this investigation where it takes us. >> earlier in that same hearing, lindsey graham says he feels personally betrayed by the saudis on this. that he believes that he did it, talking about mohammed bin salman or at least new about it. he saw that if saudi arabia wants a normal relationship with the united states, it should act normal. shep? >> rich edson live at the state department. breaking news. house lawmakers have just made moves that affect abortion law in america. house lawmakers passed a renewal of the hyde amendment. that does not allow federal money for abortions. the renewal was part of a large spending bill and there was no up or down vote on the amendment itself. fishermen getting a surprise when a great white shark swam up to their boat. and a study showing that a flesh
