>> we have a better idea what republicans are calling for but democrats are calling the plan half baked. they think it still gives too much to the rich. >> as you can see from the run down on the side of the screen this is one of the stories we're following tonight at 6:30. that long awaited tax plan today is out. it called the tax cuts and jobs act and focuses on making five key changes to the current tax plan. >> here's what we know right now. there's going to be fewer brackets and some lower rates. but radical changes on deductions. remember things like the student loan deduction and medical expenses, those are out. the two key housing writeoffs are in there by the way. it will limit the value of your house. but they're going to expand the child tax credit. this is something there was a lot of talk about. the 401k is, they're not going to make changes. >> a tax bill designed to plunder the middle class in order to put

into the pockets of the wealtiest 1 percent more money. while republicans ambushed the american people with this half baked tax bill, written in the dark to be raced through congress before it is understood. >> so, obviously the president is all in on this and you mentioned the name is the tax cuts and job acts. reportedly he was fighting for the term the cut cut cut act. which apparently did not pass muster with house republicans. >> no, paul ryan wasn't really thrilled about this. they seem to be very enthusiastic about this. the president would like to get this signed before christmas. i'm understanding. but certainly they've got a lot to do and what they're going to need to do is get the entire gop in line with this. >> yeah. >> in order to pass it but there's concern that they won't be able to do this and this may end up like some of the other key bills we've seen where some of the more moderate republicans side with the democrats especially in states like new york and new jersey. >> that's where a lot of opposition came from.

we had a guest lined up apparently technical issues that happens sometimes. i want to let you know in the name of fairness we had somebody lined up but having issues bringing in him tonight. we'll follow this in depth from both sides as we always do on 5 at 6:30. >> speaking of the economy and the budget president trump introduced his nominee for the next chair of the federal reserve. jerome powell is the current fed reserve governor. he served as a treasury official under george h.w. bush when he was president. if confirmed he would succeed janet yellen whose term ends in february. meanwhile the fed has decided to leave interest rates unchanged put hinted to a hike in december. we'll how that goes. now to one of the other big stories making headlines tonight. donna brazil the former interim head of the democratic national committee blasted the clintons, we're talking about bill and hillary in her new tell all book.

>> unethical fundraising agreement was signed between hillary clinton's and the dnc to keep the family financially afloat. brazil hints -- donna brazil was part of the dnc during the al gore era. doesn't seem like he ever had strong allegiances to the hillary campaign down the road. she came in during the election last year, had to clean up the mess left by debbie wasserman schultz. >> she was accused of giving some of the questions from the debate questions to hillary clinton. >> one of the town halls. >> yeah, for one of the town hall debates. there's a lot to go with here, a lot that we're waiting to hear what she has to say. let's bring in ronica cleary now for more on this story that people are talking about tonight. ronica. >> reporter: hey, jim and shawn. we are waiting to hear a little bit more from donna brazil and i'll get to there in a minute. let me tell you, this excerpt from her book today in politico is definitel

the democratic party. i mean, there's always been talk and whispers of whether or not the dnc was really an unbiased organization which is its responsibility, especially in that primary or whether or not they had -- they really wanted to see hillary clinton win. we know debbie wasserman schultz had to resign because of some leaked e-mails that showed a favoritism for hillary clinton, and when donna brazil took over, what we learn in this excerpt is that there was basically a setup in place where the clinton campaign would help fund several million dollars in debt that the dnc was under. now, she basically talks about president obama in essence throwing him under the bus, saying that he left the dnc in a really bad place and that the debt wouldn't be paid off until 2016. she says that debbie w wasserman schultz were you very bad at managing this and didn't go to the board of the d

seeking the support of the clinton campaign to help fund that debt that they were seeking out and you know, the interesting thing, jim, you did say it in that introduction about this being unethical. donna brazil does say in this piece that what she witnessed, this relationship and this agreement with the clinton campaign to help fund this and pay back this debt that the dnc had, she says it wasn't illegal. that it was just unethical but it certainly suggests this relationship that would have been in the pocket of the clinton campaign. there's one part where she talks about you couldn't get any press release out unless it went through brooklyn, mean, the clinton headquarters. and again, those bernie sanders supporters already felt the sting of believing that the dnc had it out against them and then you read this and whether or not it's illegal it adds to that. now we asked do donna brazil for a comment today.

until her book comes out. so, the timing of her decision to release all of this, certainly has some people scratching heads about the intention behind it and what it's really for and who her best intentions are for and then we had elizabeth warren come out today saying that now she fully beliefs the election was rigged against bernie sanders. we know she's a name that people talk about for 2020. so, this is just going to get uglier and uglier for the democrats. back to you jim and shawn. >> i think you're right ronica. it's not a surprise. before hillary clinton's book came out we started hearing these. this is what they do to sell their books. you were talking about bernie sanders, he still has not said he won't, you know, jump in the election next time around. >> i think people fully expect him to run in spite a lot of people point to the age but age is but a number these days. talk about president trump was sworn in at age 70. that was unheard of. you look at -- i

donald trump but if you look at president trumping think about president reagan. age is a totally different rubric. >> joe biden has said he hasn't ruled anything out either. >> i think that speaks to the fact that youngblood -- the democrats have said the biggest problem with the party right now is after president obama left office, there's a lack of -- there's not a bench because they put all their eggs in the hillary basket a couple years ago and they knew she was going to run. >> and that's some of the criticism we saw in ronica's story there. tom perez who is head of the dnc is being criticized because people have been saying they have not been able to move forward to mount something against the gop. >> yeah. >> so, we'll see what happens. >> yeah, it's a not more than just being the party of no and that's what they're learning. >> let's switch to the other party now. former trump campaign chairman paul manafort and his associate rick gates faced a judge for the second time this week. they were both in court today for a status hearing. they're the first to be charged in the special counsel robert muell

investigation. both manafort and gates pled not guilty to conspiracy and money laundering charges. they're being held under house arrest. >> all right. so, the campaign for the -- did we leave something out there. >> are we going to run that? are we going to have a little bit of that ad? >> all right. so, we've been talking about this for a little bit on all of our newscasts today. >> yes. >> the campaign for the democrat running for governor of virginia is in damage control tonight following the controversial campaign ad that you saw here on fox5. >> yeah, fox5 has learned that campaign finance records show a money trail linking the group and the campaign of ralph northam. fox5's tom fitzgerald with the story in arlington tonight with more. and this is a new twist for sure, fitz. >> reporter: well, you know, we've been talking about this ad and you've probably seen it. we've been showing it on the air since i think about tuesday now. it's an advertisement which shows a group of minority children running up to each other, telling each other that they have to go and the reason they have to go in these advertisements is because there is a pickup truck

the pickup truck has a confederate flag on it and on the back has an ed gillespie for governor bumper sticker. now, that ad was made and produced by a group called latino victory fund. the ralph northam campaign has said since this hit the web the other day, they didn't have anything to do with this ad, they didn't know about this ad, they didn't like the content of this ad. however, as we found out today, there is a financial connection between this group, latino victory fund, and the northam campaign and it comes by way of this. this is a filing that was made with the virginia election board on tuesday, halloween, the 31st of october. it shows the latino victory fund, it's a media contribution and this is what's called an in-kind donation of some $62,000. now, why is this important? well,

was quick to attack this ad saying that it made their followers look like racists, that it made their followers look like murderers. now, we should also tell you we reached out to the northern thatnorthamcampaign for comment. they reiterated that their position that, look, we didn't have anything to do with making this ad, we didn't have anything to do with the content of this ad, that we were required by law, they say, to report these in-kind donations. now, what does that mean? well, they say they have to report things like data, which they have gotten from the latino victory fund, and canvassing, which is when people literally and physically go door to door, but when it comes to the content of this ad they say they were not involved. however, there is this $62,000 in-kind donation that appears on their virginia election fund. now, we also did speak to their

afternoon since we have been reporting on this, david turner, the spokesperson for the campaign, he got back in touch with us tonight. he said he wanted to reiterate that they had not made any effort to conceal this financial connection between the latino victory fund and the northam campaign. furthermore, they say they are required by law to report all in-kind donations and they take issue with anyone who not been open and transparent about this. however, we should tell you when we sat down with ed gillespie earlier this week, he said that this ad puts his supporters in a very bad light. he called for it to be taken down. we understand now that it has been taken down. and the northam campaign tonight saying they agree with that many decision by the latino victory fund. jim and shawn. >> certainly was a talker in this race and a lot of people as they try to nationalize what is really, you know, a commonwealth wide race coming up, but nonetheless that's

attention being paid to it. >> absolutely. thank you fitz. >> you may check out the d.c. us.com a local blog hyper local coverage local news restaurants and some other things. >> everything else. >> tonight -- and this is sad. we had rachel sadone the editor. tonight she's out of a job and other similar blogs in new york city and i believe in chicago. joe ricketts the owner he's a billionaire if that name sounds familiar he used to be the ceo of td ameritrade family owns the chicago cubs. they shut down operations after reporters a the other sites in new york city decided to unionize so a lot of sadness tonight. checking the tweets already. >> certainly our thoughts go out to them because this is a tough position to all of a sudden find yourself out of a job like that. we'll keep you posted. >> more important fewer voices is never a good thing. to our friends we wish you all

million dollars it would cost to complete the name change not including hidden costs. >> like buy and support the boosters with uniforms and spirit wear and just all of the ancillary costs that i think just are very, very difficult to estimate. so, the question is, you know, where is julianne's half million check, julieian moore. where is the hollywood money that we said -- we were told was coming forward and i don't see it. maybe it will come. you know, i guess i have the highest hopes that we'll get every single dollar because that takes the burden off the individual fairfax county taxpayers. >> i think we'll see much more. the folks who had put out the petition that was in a nationwide petition with about 40,000 names on it, they have just recently pushed out a message to those 40,000 people asking them to make, you know -- even just small donations inch the district's online plea to the public reminds potential donors their contribution i
