has asked for that. his letter to the board was read before the vote. this letter is to serve as a request for a followup investigation by the maryland state department of education into allegations regarding the prince george's county public schools, high school graduation rates since my arrival. and that was just part of the letter . maxwell went onto say that he denies that he or anybody working for him is promoting students in order to inflate the graduation rate. four prince george's county brothered members contacted the governor saying they have evidence that in the last few years hundreds of students have graduated without meeting state requirements. they call it wide -spread systemic corruption. what they were asking for is an investigation like the one that was voted on today. we talked to the president of the state board of ed asking him when will this get underway? will it be

early to commit to that. first the state has to find an outside organization to investigate. we want to expedite it because there's so many questions about this and so much rides on it and we want to do it prudently, thoughtfully but do it as quickly as we can. any sense of what this is going to look like and how many people are going to be involved. >> too soon to tell. we don't have any evidence yet. we are taking it very seriously. we want to you can that to as many people as necessary to get to the bottom of it as quickly as we canment we were first to tell you on sunday a that maryland govern ofer larry hogan was calling for the state board of ed to launch an investigation. we talked to hogan just yesterday and he says he wants to assure prince george's county school staff that in the course of an investigation they will be protected by state whistleblower laws. we're live in baltimore, lindsay watts, fox5 local news. >> take a good look at the surveillance video right here now. d.c. polic

chief of staff in attendance. tonight they'll meet with president trump trying to figure out the senate majority leader sounded in an optimistic tone saying a better version of this billion would finally emerge from this current defeat. legislation of h this complexity almost always takes licensinger than anybody else would hope, but we're going to press on. we think the status quo is un sustainable for all the obvious reasons we've discussed over and over and over again. now to be clear, this billion which would have roled back much of obamacare had been in trouble since the start on the very day it was announced five republican senators came out in opposition to it. more joined in as the days went on. and this vote drew closer. be clear, the nail in the

congressional budget office report that scored this billion financially. it found that the senate version of the obamacare repeal would have left 22 million americans without health insurance at all. now, for democrats today, there was no spiking of the football on this. democrats from time cane of virginia to chris van holland of maryland and speaking to fox5 they say this moment they now hope will allow republicans to bring them into this process to finally once and for all address the serious problems that obamacare does have. i am again , if the process is bad, if you haven't had hearings to hear from the public, if you say we're only going to allow one party to participate and you only have 52 republican votes it's going to be hard to get there. if they want to, you know, solve problems rather than create more problems they'll allow the american public and they'll allow the democrats to participate in the discussion.

constituents because the more people find out what's in the senate republican billion the more they hate it. and it's really no surprise. every single patient advocacy group that's come out has come out against this. so it's in the a healthcare billion. the ' about big tax quuts. we have said from day one to our republican colleagues we would welcome to the chance to work together. they're not perfect. there are specific things we can do to improve them. but that has not been their goal. their goal has been to destroy the affordable care act and create a whole lot of damage in the process. where does this leave us now? >> it is not clear at all how the republicans are going to be able to come together on this. if mcconnell moves towards the conservatives who are opposed to this e risks losing people on the moderate side. if he loses towards the moderates he risks losing more conservative. this much we d
