in fact, in one private call with president trump, he said he had nothing to do with russia and not been involved with hookers in russia and it always assumed he was being recorded when in russia. he asked, what we could do to lift the cloud? comey says president trump let him know the russia investigation was a cloud over his administration and it was interfering with his agenda. he told the president the fbi wasn't personally investigating him, comey says president trump kept pressing him to quote, get that fact out. comey admits in the years he ran the fbi, he never felt the need to write down what was said between him and president obama, but that changed after his first private meeting with president trump when comey told him he wasn't reliable, at least not in the way politicians use that word. the president said, i need loyalty, i expect loyalty. i didn't move, speak or change my facial expren

three years old never had a chance. >> sonya spoon suffocated her toddler son and daughter. today during her sentencing hearing she told the judge, knowing my children died by my own hands first seemed like a nightmare. she began crying and then said, i'm truly sorry for taking their lives. spoon had just been released from a mental evaluation after threatening to kill her daughter and herself but she was put back in the home with her children a few days later. she killed her kids and attempted suicide, but did not go through with it. >> the hospital never notified the police that this young lady was being released to go home after she had threatened to kill her children. nobody notified social services. >> our client was failed by the mental health system. >> reporter: sonya pleaded guilty in order to avoid a life sentence. >> we know that this tragedy could have been avoid if proper mental health treatment had been provided to ms. spoon. >> reporter: today the judge sentenced her to 4

secure men tal treatment facility. the judge said, i don't doubt ms. spoon regrets, i believe she is remorseful. she's not a sociopath. she doesn't do this without remorse but she did do this. >> she's not a victim, these children are victims. >> reporter: spoons mother testified that she wanted her daughter to stay in that mental facility for much longer than she actually was but that did not happen. the state's attorney was actually inspired by this case to create legislation asking officials to be notified if someone has made these kinds of threat to harm their children before they're allowed back into the home letting social services and police know about that. that law has not gone into effect for two years in a row. it's been denied. they'll go back down to annapolis a third time to see if they can make it happen next year. >> thank you. if you are mourning the loss of ed chicken and crabs in dewy

nonprofits here in the area. >> reporter: prince george's county council was an early critic of building the casino here. >> i quite frankly wanted to see a little bit more money spent in the infrastructure. we still got traffic problems here, even though it's not quite as bad as we anticipated. >> reporter: when we arrived at mgm national harbor, we couldn't help but notice a parking lot filled with cars with lots of license plates not only from maryland, virginia and the district as well. >> we're very pleased we say from not over the area and the country coming to visit us, but from all over the world. >> reporter: chris gordon, news4. >> the 2008 academy award winning movie about the life and death gave activist will be shown tonight as part of capital pride week. dunce lance black who won the academy award will be there as well. he's talking about the relevance of harvey
