giuliani claim that the president learned recently that he did do that reimbursement. instead we don't know. he will not say. today the "new york times" also reports that the president knew for months and they say their sources indicate a trump administration official was also aware of the purpose of long time structured payments. >> i know you'll be following that. i also want to ask about something else. watching the president at nra convention in dallas. brought up court case involving former campaign vary paul manafort and talked about what a judge said. fill us in. >> reporter: in is an issue where the president, imagine this brought up the name paul manafort. former official of his campaign. a judge in virginia took the special counsel to task saying they went beyond the scope of the russia investigation in order to try to get manafort to cooperate. the judge says you don't care about mr. manafort's bank fraud. you really care about getting

information mr. manafort can give you and reflect on mr. trump and lead to prosecution or impeachment. this is a case the judge is saying the scope of the russian investigation was exceeded by the special counsel in order to squeeze manafort. the president liked hearing that. other headlines, an indiana police officer was killed friday morning during a shooting with a homicide suspect. opened fire when he was approached by four investigators. then barricaded himself inside an apartment complex after they fired back. the wounded officer was pronounced dead at the hospital. suspect also died from wound he suffer in that shootout. a man hunt is happening for suspect or suspects involved in the shooting of atf agent in chicago. raided two homes overnight. arresting one person near where the shooting took place on chicago's south side. shot in the face early friday. rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
