new this morning, we're learning new information in that suspect locker room rape at damascus high school last year in montgomery county. a report says school leaders waited more th 12 hours to call police. according to the "washington post," school leade discussed the incident in a group text message on halloween, naming thi im and three possible suspects. laudents were also reportedly pulled out of and questioned by school leaders before anyone called lice. the montgomery county school system is not commenting on the report. five teenagersre charged with assaulting one of their j. football teammates inside the locker room last year. today is the deadline democrats gave attorney general william barr to release special coposel robert mueller's . this morning we now know what they may do if barr fails to meet their demand. he could face a subpoena as early a this week. housera democtic judiciary chairman jerry nadler wrote in ohe new york times" that if barr doesn't hanr the document in its entirety, it,
