the officers said they thought he had a gun, but after firing 20 shots discovered it was actually a cell phone. >> he approached us hands out and then fell down. now a doctor commissioned by clark's family to perform a private autopsy is offering a different account. he said he was hit eight times. first from the left side spinning him around before he was shot six more times from behind and once in the thigh. >> the findings of his autopsy contradict many of the narratives that the sacramento police put forward. >> the autopsy was performed by dr. bennett who's credited with discovering the brain disease cte. >> he received seven gunshot wounds from his back. >> he says clark who did not immediately receive medical treatment died three to ten minutes later. >> it was not an instantaneous death. >> now questions about clark's

death continue to swirl as the outrage around it grows. >> meanwhile the sacramento police department said it will not comment any further until the findings of an official autopsy are released. meanwhile there is yet another rally scheduled for later today. >> all right. thank you. >> now to baton rouge where one officer has been fired and another hit with a short suspension after the fatal shooting of sterling in a parking lot as he struggled with them. this as the department has released startling video showing the confrontation that led to sterling's death. we're in baton rouge, louisiana, with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, one of the police officers is out of a job. the other one suspended for three days all because of that deadly 2016 police involved shooting. we want to warn you, some of the video you're about to see may be disturbing. the morning some of the clearest

kelly o'donnell is traveling with the president. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig. president trump has had just one public event over the last week and with the holiday weekend and spending time here in florida we expect him to keep that low profile but as you point out the attention is turning to the cabinet and the pressure is on the environmental protection agency chief, scott pruitt. easter weekend for the president, shuttling between his golf resort and mar-a-lago eestate but this is the real estate under scrutiny where the head of the epa rented a room last year from a lobbyist whose husband lobbies for big energy companies and pruitt appeared to get a good deal. $50 a night, below market price. a block from the capitol. late friday the epa responded that its own review found the lease agreement did not

constitute a gift and was consistent with federal ethics regulations. but at least one democrat is calling for pruitt to go. >> if scott pruitt doesn't resign then president trump should fire him. >> pruitt has been under fire for spending at his offices and first class air travel that he defended last month. >> they place me on the plane where they think it's best from a safety perspective. >> this comes days after the firing of veterans affairs reck setear david shulkin. trump long promised high ethical standards. >> we are going to drain the swamp of government corruption in washington, d.c. turning to new provocation from russia where the president has said nothing publicly. putin gave no advance warning to the u.s. when russia tested a new missile friday that it claims can carry multiple war heads and evade current u.s.

defense systems. the state department had russia was not required by treaty to advise the u.s. and considered the demonstration to be the early stages of a missile program. >> reporter: and the president has not talked about that, but his administration has expelled several dozen russian diplomats joining other western countries who have done the same. in reaction not to that testing but to the incident involving a poisoning assassination attempt. the president has not been publicly saying anything about russia but his administration mode those new moves. >> a time magazine columnist and a former bush white house aide, good morning to you. >> how are you doing? >> we heard kelly's report. kelly rented a room from a lobbyist with big ties to big energy companies. even if this deal wasn't illegal, talk about the optics of this and should pruitt be

fired or resign? >> you never want to be in the hot seat over financial looking like there is financial impropriety when you're a cabinet official. it just isn't a good look. this is a great deal on housing i've got to say as someone who worked in d.c. as a young staffer and i would have loved to have had that kind of deal but even i would have shied away from accepting a gift from a lobbyist. that's what it looks like. >> should he keep his job? >> you look at the rotating seat of who is the most corrupt cabinet member and they've been dropping like flies. you've got the health and human services tom price, he resigned because of travel impropriety. recently david shulkin just this week so this is not a good position for scott pruitt to be in. i personally think he should resign but we'll see if he manages to survive. >> purports to show this new intercontinental ballistic

missile. president putin says it would be able to defeat any of our missile defense systems. but we haven't heard anything from president trump about the firing of that missile. he has been silent about this. why? >> well, vladimir putin in his state of the union address about a month ago show cased some of these new missiles and she showed footage that they could reach even to mar-a-lago so reportedly our great reporters have said that did upset president trump but he still wants to keep a silent posture, but behind the scenes he is starting -- it is starting to get to him a little bit. he's had this posture of not speaking out about the interference in the 2016 election. >> yeah. >> but now as it is getting more personal and it is security related, perhaps we'll see president trump speaking out a bit more. >> can you talk about what's going on with morale behind the scenes in the white house? you mentioned david shulkin.

i can also mention hope hicks. obviously she resigned. what does this do to morale? >> you look at how this there is a major staff departure every nine to ten days in this administration. they are not able to retain top talent. it makes it very difficult to formulate policy that drives the president's agenda of making america great again. they were able to push tax reform but what's on the agenda from now until the midterms? there really isn't anything that they're out there pitching right now. they're really on the defense defending against, you know, allegations from stormy daniels, they're defending against cabinet members' impropriety and they aren't actually pushing policy agenda that is going to make americans lives beltztter. >> thank you. some other headlines on this saturday morning. an emergency u. nchl security council meeting was held overnight calling for an

>> reporter: sister jean has seemingly divined them to center stage and national prominence winning three of its four games in the tournament by just four points. >> worship, work, and win. we need to do all those things. >> two more wins and the run to glory is complete. it's no wonder she's first in line for a victorious hug even when she's picked the other team on her bracket. >> it's a big thrill for me to be here this morning with all of you and you know what? i'm not a bit nervous. >> and tonight's semifinal loyola faces michigan. 23-year-old hatch is a former player whose body was not up to the rigors of the game any longer after surviving not one but two small plane crashes as a kid in 2003 and 2011 that killed his entire immediate family. he was given a hero's sendoff at

this year's senior day. >> i take pride in what i still can do and sometimes you've got to do things because it's what the team needs. >> no matter who wins or loses tonight they'll have an inspiring story to share for a lifetime. >> and you really hate to see any team lose at this point. four teams left. we should point out that all four of these schools have won national championships. villanova just two years ago. loyola, 55 years ago in 1963 so all that's left is to tip it up and play ball. back to you. >> nice. >> so many compelling story lines. sister jean, you know, her face is on everything now, socks and t-shirts and she told a reporter last week, she said you know, 98 years no one wanted my face on anything and now my face is on everything. >> i love that. >> two more years she'll have her face on a smuker's jar. >> still ahead, the latest on the massive chinese spacecraft that's hurtling toward the earth
