coast. and it looks excellent coming into this up coming weend. good morning, i'm pat lawson-muse. for the second time in less than a month, strikes at the the washington archdiocese. this time the jury is deciding on dail -- some of it happened during the nearly two decades, but cardinal donald ward was the -- churchde l accused of a calculated coverup. this has got to be tough for t church as a whole and asrticularly for catholics here in thengton area. >> yes. >> just a couple of weeks ago it was cardinal theodore mccarrick after being accused of sex abu e
6:14 am
abuse. >> it's hard to read, 900 pages, 1,000 pages, every one of them se to be a horror. these the washington, d.c. area is impacted too. it was our cardinal, our archdiocese bishop cardinal ward, his name appears more that 100es in the report. and the question is what was h culpability in allowing these problems to fester. i know the archdiocese of washington have had a very -- their press release t hast feel. reality check, here's what's wrong about this report a how we have been put improperly out of contex f thatls so political ands i
6:15 am
a search and that has disrupted catholics in this area as well. >> the cardina hasn't come out to do a television interview, we have heard him speak on the radio, he's issued a statement and he's pointed out that in many of the c nes that hise is tied to, he took action. that he you know, took steps to get priests treassigned get them out of the ministry torques get them away. o doesn't seem resonate with everyone. >> no,nd part of what's got us saying here what the problem is, it's the feeling of you go t the church for healing, you go to the church for peace, and when something likhis happens, you don't want to hear a political resposoe for thing that for many people is very emotional. it gets to the cire of t beliefs, and when you hear the accusation of thisreport, children being put on crosses nude in front of the a priests
6:16 am
pictures being taken of them. it's so grotesque and hard to believe that these people would be moved t around church as opposed to discipline and thrown out of the church is very complicated and it's hard for omfort thereel any and for what it means here in washington. this is something that with all of these scandals, we have been largely untouched in the washingtonon re these are two knockout purnches from the catholicchurch. and i'm sure there are people who are looking today to the leaders of their church to help comfort them. >> and we hear that the report was delayed because there was a fight in court to keep from this getting out. >> the first two were released earlier, adphphia, and two
6:17 am
in johnstown, and now this weeks report. there was a robust comprehensive report showing there was an ofcial showing a willingness to go up against the church, a battle that someeople don't want to fight, an adversary, for lack of a better word. . i'm going to bring my kids to the 11:00 a.m. service. is it going to berought up? is there going to be guidance ce from the archd as to whether to discuss this orot discuss it. it's something that catholics in the area are -- >> one coach is out, the other coach is suspended, the schoo is investigating, the school is
6:18 am
apologizing ands all of this enough for mcnair's family, is it enough for other families to hear tool say that it's responsible and that it's committed to change? >> we talked to mcnair's uncle the day that president lowe of the university of maryland came out and said. one of the things that saidrd mcnair who died from heat stroke said, his uncle said, they just need the apologize so we can begin to heal. because it had been two months since jordan mcnair died. and so what some critics are saying is that it took that espn investigation into the culture of the kbrufuniversi of marylan that prompted the university to
6:19 am
do what it should have done weeks and weeks ago. while the statements are very strong and unusual for the president to tak thisind of responsibility, some feel it's a little too late and it's sothing that should have been done immediately. >> and maybe we would nev have known about it if not for the espn investigation that uncovered this. >> this young man died two months ago, why is it this week that we heard from the univer bty? this is look and it impacts the university in ways we don't know yet. l> mcnair said he found out about the footb program from this investigation by espn. he and the athletic director who was a part of the football program at one point are both saying we didn't know. e question is that good enough to say you didn't know?
6:20 am
therwas a kinf culture, and we have to wait until forst the ination to be completed. but this is a young man who needed a kidney transplant his dehydratio was so intense, his body beg to shut down completely and the feeling was you need to get up p andy some more. and this is why lowe apologized but the question is, how does something like this -- you keep thinking about kids who want to protect their futures, you don't want to be the kid that says to the coach of this professional team, this kid's a punk, he shouldn't be on thisteam. >> the economic ties between a university, is two major sports program, the basantball program the football program.
6:21 am
there's so many implications coming, just don't know w they're coming. >> got to take a break.
6:22 am
i team investigation uncovered some problems. >>ashington, d.c. va medical center, is the flagship medice center of veterans affairs. they have a couple hundred employees and they he -- we watched people with severe mobility challenges, people ab
6:23 am
to stand much less walk to have to navigate to the front doors. when we started looking, we found some internal va records that showed they were aware of this problem for quite some time and in their words, it was an unacceptable deficiency, it was a deficiency that was present not only when our cameras are there, but a garage is being constructed. >> they're building a that why there's a shortage? why is there a shortage? >> it's contributing to it, they're buildin a garage and they had to do construction a had to cover up some parking plac to build that. the agency is aware of the problem, they have known of the problem, they have talked about the problem, but they still haven't fixed the problem, and
6:24 am
therein is theissue, you've got a culture that doesn't quickly solve problems. when we did this investigation, we askedhe medical center, can somebody please sit down and talk with us? they said no, we asked headquarters, the secretary's office, can you sit down and talk to us about this? they said no, nobody takes ownershi of a problem and i suspect that that is a problem that's just pro strategy. >> is this a violation of the ada? >> but the federal government is under it's only federal codes ada.t fall under the these buildings were built before ada was a thing. >> he's charg with dousing his girlfriend andrea grenag with
6:25 am
flammable liquid and today he's out on bail until he faces trial for attempt murder. tracey, the trial was supposed to srt this past week, why is he out and when will he be tried? >> this is a judge's decision to let him out. there was specific evidence that had not beenresented to the court yet, and the judge's decision was it's not right to keep him locked up without this eviden. the famil expected him to be locked all until the trial. they state's attor office is very upset. they argue the point that this is a dangeroushe man, have all kinds of evidence, they feel like he needs to stay locd up, the judge disagreed and let him
6:26 am
out. the family is very upset about this and understandably so. >> andrea grenage was burned over 80% of her body>> t and she was pregnant and she had the child months before the baby w supposed to be born. it is a disturbing case, it is a case that rocked our region and when things like this happen, for the general public, the feeling is it's just a tone deaf response to what's a serious issue in prince george's county. is ts an unusual case to have him released? >> no, not, so mu we just had another case where a basketball players who's accused of rape was allowed to leave and go play overseas andhe judge said we released him on his own rek recognizance a trust him to
6:27 am
come to trial. >> without predetermining what's going to happen with thisin vidual, go ask a sheriff's deputy in any cmunity where you live, how often protective orders are violated, itappens a lot. just because a judge says don't do x or don't d just because a person has a pending trial, doesn't mean he won't do xor y. white nationalists hean ng to uniteshington. metro initially said they would get no accommodaticommodatiooda. the station platform was closed while they were being boarded. some say it was special treatment, some say it was an about case on metro's part. >> metro's transit uniyua union
6:28 am
that platform was closed the ment before those people were boarded. they put them right behind another train and if you ride the metro system, if one train arrives right after another, then the second train is going to be a littl lighter rider wise. it's not just themin critic it's the community, it's the passengers who have a concern about this, that reibe's going a problem for the transit system. >> these fks had not only their own car but a lot of protection getting them from one point to the next and the idea
6:29 am
that it was doneo try to keep everybody safe is just a very confusing message, considering this group's message, and the cieo. so fore here, just didn't look good. and the back and forth from the government on that, we're going to provide a second car and then we're not, and then it looks like they the did. and it's just a lot offoonfusion people in the washington area. alsoolice escorts, scott. >> yes, at some cost, this event, we would go today, cost millions of dollars, look at where metro is at this point in a year ago they were having a maintenance crisis with a safe track a and whole die shut doay. the passenger loads are lower than they need to be, and having an image problem like this obably will not be helpful for solving the passenger load

the psident revoked the security clearance of brennan last week, t and here break it all down, the moderator of "meet the press," chuck todd. it just feels like every week wee saying, wow, what a week that we have had here, and the security clearance thing is huge and now this could potentially be a domino effect as we're talking about the loyalty factor. >> what's sort of bizarre is how many -- every time -- i try to run away from the watergate parallels, think it can be a -- then you have the president's white house counsel
6:43 am
is serving to be the most cooperative witness there is, echos of a john dea nixon, i do think one thing we can't let get losthere, all of this disruption is all about thess n probe. he is trying to make -- he's tryi to disqualify it in the eyes of as many people as he possibly can. so if you revoke the security clearances, then you sort of taint the people that were involved when it started. and if it just creates a seed of doubt, maybe it doesn't create a seed of doubt here or elsewhere. i this is all part of this campaign to undermine the leg d legitimacyf the probe. >> people are saying it's just a way to get to mueller. >> this is a question i put to
6:44 am
giuliani multiple times, because if the presint is as angry and eed up and believes this is as illegitimate as claims, then end it now, then revoke the security clearances of the entire mueller te, there are things he can do. now maybe he won't do it because his white house counsel has threatened to quit if he does it, maybe his attorney general has done that, we don't know behind the scenes, we know before that mcgahn has said you firend mueller i will resign. and the president, you think it's a witch hunt, you have the it.er to end you're nibbling at the edges, just go for the whole thing. a >> he has been cooperating extensively with the mueller n. investigat >> what's interesting here is the president's first attorneys encouraged it, now the president's current attorneys are petrified of it. they wereooperating early on, the assumption is those
6:45 am
hatorneys took the president at his word he didn't do anything wrong, so cooperate fully, now there's a mind set, did we cooperate too much? >> has this hit a new vel? out've got the omarosa tapes there as well and she says there was absolutely llusion. >> every time i think there's a new unfreneticism a the president. i do think there's a sense around the president, and you snw it this week, he's looking around and he d know who to trust. who's on his side right now? i think the president feels more isolated than ever, because what else explains the lashing out.
6:46 am
>> and everybody seems to be taping him too. >> at this point if you're the president, you may be paranoid of everybody that you work with. it he may have madeed his own here, but you look around, you're right, who taping him? who's testifying against him? and who's looking him in the eye and saying i'm not doing it and doing it anyway. >> so it will make for an inresting show this seriously is reality television. and this is a reminder you can see everything coming up on eet the press" coming up at 10:30. meantime, all anial shelters are now closed and the adoption numbers are starting to roll in after the clear the shelters. so far we know over 900 animals of all kinds, snakes, i think there were some gerbils, have found a forever home. >> people lined up early to find their best friends.
