on the drivers saying "we installed drums pursuant to all applicable laws and regulations adding to the extent that a driver was not paying attention is unfortunate, however, it was not the result of any ill legality or failure by our company. ." >> what i thought was total bull. it's as simple as taping off an area to avoid an accident, which they knew of before any ac >> reporter: chief engineer mike told me pork is right but added this. >> it is the contractor's responsibility if there was a damage or claim to investigate that. >> reporter: meanwhile, diam shared video that shows one of the employees buying beer at lunchtime. in the statement, he says that man is an 89-year-old family member who just likes to visit. they say the beer he was seen stashing in his work vest was for dinner. diam doesn't buy that, either.

so he wasn't living on minimum wage, but he was working against the interests of ohio. the senator said that i made $400,000. oh, senator, that's a big whopper. i've never made $400,000 in my life. >> okay, here's what we found when we looked into strickland's earnings. after losing re-election, strickland began working for the center for american $200,000 between april 2014 and march 2015. so how did portman come up with that $400,000 figure? well, we looked at all of strickland's income and found strickland headed up a political action fund for that think tank. it listed strickland's other compensation as $13,623,000 for the nine months of 2013. if you do the math, that brings his compensation for . whole

then he disclosed $20,000 in earnings from the bipartisan policy center. he was also paid $25,000 for working as a mediator with a law firm. strickland also collected $36,700 from his state retirement and $25,500 from an i.r.a., plus he's eligible for a congressional pension, which we estimate to be about $33,000 a year. now, all of $357, 489. strickland -- $357,489. if you subtract that total, he earned $295,000. so as a result, we rank portman's statement as half true. we're also looking into statements made by ted strickland. i'm going to break that down in the next half hour.
