attorney's office, and offering defendants to plead guilty in return for 25% reduction in their sentences and fines. that was in an attempt to remove the backlog of cases. the bay city news service reports the judge's attorney was not available for comment. there will be a hearing before a panel that will then report back to the commission. if the commission decides to discipline the judge, he could face a range of consequences, including censure or removal from the bench. >> bob, thanks for that update. developing this morning,rtm. ers can't locate them based on follow-up safety check with sponsors that originally took them in. this is the second time in less than a year the federal agency disclosed case managers can't find the children.

that means pharmacists are limited in notifying patients when the drug that they're getting may be cheaper if they're paying in cash. that's opposed to using your insurance. many believe insurance companies are profiting from this law. >> they had twoon was $86, the . i said, well, what's the difference? they said they're identical. i said, well, i think i'll go with the $5 drug. why couldn't they make that decision for me? they're not allowed to. >> right now congress is working on new measures to change the law. president trump saying he supports pharmacists sharing more information. a tech company crunch, that's what one state attorney general is advising. the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions. louisiana attorney general jeff landry says google, twitter and facebook should be broken up. landry made the comments during an interview on a local radio station in shreveport. he says he's worried those companies are gathering people's personal information and selling it for their own profit.
