i'm filling in for jim lokay. tonight on the final five, congress avoid a government shut down. meanwhile, control of the virginia house lies in the hands of a random drawing of namings believe it or not. hillary clinton once again in the hot seat, shocker. this time over that controversial uranium one deal. and word of steve bannon running for president? well, let's just call it right now fake news. the final five starts now.

>> the big story tonight, congress has officially avoided a government shutdown. well, for now. earlier tonight congress passed a stop gap spending bill approved by both the house and senate just hours apart from each other. the national approved it in a 66 to 32 vote while the house passed it 231 to 188. the bill passed with time to spare before a friday midnight deadline. and it keeps government agencies run ning through january 19. nothing is ever easy, though, right? the passage came with mixed reviews from lawmakers. let's call this cr for what it is. a chaotic retreat from rash alt order and fiscal responsibility. play politics on tax cuts. call it whatever you want to ul contact it. play politics on all the other legislation that comes

floor. but if i can request one thing, please don't do it here. in addition to keeping the government up and running the bill also gives lawmakers more time for unfinished business, including immigration a potential budget agreement. and healthcare. it now heads to the president for his signature. speaking of victories, it was also a victorious day for people facing serious criminal charges stemming from the 2017 inauguration protests. they were found not guilty. and you may remember on january 20, d.c. \police\police arrested almost 200 protestors after violence broke out near dupont circle. some of them were smashing store windows and setting cars on fiemplet butt defendant's attorney say there was no evidence their clients took part . they say there was no criminal intent behind them pro testing and the defendants tell us it's been almost a year of

questioning their decision- making that day. i was anxious, but a certain part of me was certain that the right result would havment i think that a lot of people have been scared away from voicing their their opinions. they don't want to get arrested. they don't want to get pepper sprayed. they don't want to have a sting er gre n.a.d.e. the at them . the attorney general's office says they respect the verdict. eight l other people were arrested that day and are still awaiting general. the un general assemble has approved a re lugs condemning the us decision to recognize jerusalem russ lum as the capital of. they voted # 128 to nine with 35 absence taitions to declare president trump's declaration of jeruseleum as israel's capital until you and void. today's decision comes shortly after

em bass ambassador nikki haley delivered a very stern warning to the international body much the united states will remember this day in which it was singled out foray tack in the general assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. we will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world's largest contribution to the united nations. >> yemen's un ambassador introduced the resolution and he called the move, quote, a blatant regulation of the rights of the arab people. and all muslims and christians of the world. also making international headlines tonight that controversial uranium one deal and north korea let's start with uranium one. attorney general jeff sessions has reportedly gun canning fbi agents to explain the evidence they found in the criminal investigation into the uranium one

that deal to bill and hillary clintonry. a 2010 transaction in which the obama ad mrgs allow the sale of us uranium mining facilities to russia's state atomic energy company. at the time hillary clinton was secretary of state. of course those questions are swirling and the state department was one of nine agencies that agreed to a profit deal after finding no threat to the us. in 2015, the new york times reported some of those associated with the deal contributed millions of dollars to the clinton foundation. hillary has denied playing any role in the decision of the state department to approve the deal. that hasn't stopped republicans, though, including who else, president trump from calling the whole thing, quote, corrupt. the justice department is now looking at whether a special council was warranted to look into the deal. now to north korea, the us h

out, a quote bloody nose attack against no. according to a a little bit issue report the attack wouldive that the goal of knocking out its nuclear weapons program. entirely. the report says one option is apparently destroying a launch site before north korea uses it for a new missile test. another option reportedly could be to target weapons stockpiles. last week republican senator lindsay graham told the atlantic that he believed there was a 30 percent chance of president trump using a military option against north korea. and back here at home, control of virginia's house of delegates is completely dead locked. in fact the wirn of a key house race will be decided randomly by just drawing names out of a class bowl much that's wait is down to. the winner will determine which party controls the house of

drawing is set for next wednesday in richmond following a recount that came and gave the democrats a one vote victory. a court decided that one discarded ballot hewed have been counted for the republican. and therefore, the race for the 94th district was tied. i'm greatful forth justices for the time that they took to deliberate and i'm really great that every vote has been counted. they had a mark through the little bubble and mr. delegate's and i's had the bubble filled in. we have not her back. even after next is -- well, there's random drawing. the loser can request another re count. okay. if that hasn't gotcha going, still ahead, another step back for president trump as we continue. and he's considering or well, he wanted the transge

>> the judges denied the trump administration request to delay the january 1 deadline for the transgender military ban and this could potentially be appealed to the supreme court. the pentagon is set to begin accepting transgender troops into the military. january 1 after court orders required it to do so. the date was planned before president trump announced

, president trump is celebrating his first commuted sentence for a federal prisoner this week he freed the former owner of the country's largest kosher meet processing plant. the man was sentenced to nearly 30 years in prison for a slew of financial crimes. and now this came with bipartisan support. many voices in the legal community petitioned the administrations to draw attention to the sentence which was disproportionate to the crime. however, the commutation is not a presidential pardon. this conviction will stand as well as he continues and he's required to pay. today, president trump stopped by walter reed medical center in be these dwa to visit with wounded soldiers. while there he presented the purple heart to a soldier. white house chief of staff john kelly and press secretary suck a

. it comes one day before the president leaves to spend the holiday inn florida. an nba player is back in the spotlight after he once again sparked controversial i in his home cunt riff turkey. brody logan is joining me tonight. we have a little bit of nba and politics. what's going on. >> it's one of those things,en is cantor earlier in the year he had a situation where he couldn't get out of the country he started tweeting out videos that they were detaining him in the airport. he couldn't come back to the states of tweets he had against the president of turkey. imagine what they would do with trump. it's one of those things that make you you think the freedoms that we have here. i know people complain, but compared to at lf the world it's pretty amazing. this has to do with nick star and canton and nowhe

for his arrest. they want him to serve four years of jail time , and i assume prisons in turkey are not very nice. and that's because he assaulted the president. canton was critical of president air one. he responded to the indictment with a tweet that translates that i have said less than that onless man add another four years for me master of the earlier this year the government revoked his passport. he was stuck at the airport. that's because of his support of iran. and then in may he was detained at the airport, stuck there after authorities learned that the password was revoked because of his tweets. i thought i had problems at the airport. everyone travelling this week it's not that bad. it could be so much worse. it's crazy to think b. now he can't go back and see his family. they can't come back and see

family's pass passports have been victim stricted because of this. the public response over there, it was part of the failed due. so that's the bigger thing . he is such a big name. he is one of the stars that come out of that turkey. so he has a big platform and a big presence and he has been against this author tear and regime and now they put down their authority on him. it will be interesting to see if maybe the us government gets in to help him. he is a us citizens at this point. i don't know if that's going to happen. this has visions of the lee angelo ball story in china. let's keep everyone off tweeter, including president trump. when you're oversees, if you're not sure, don't tweet. and don't steel. that's the bigger problem. speaking of platforms and having a very big one, remember earlier this week whe

rosie o'donnell took to twitter and she made a last ditch attempt to topt republicans' tax bill. she offered $2 million to any congressman member who would change their vote. the former talk show host singled out arizona nor jeff flake and congress woman susan collins in that tweet. she offered 2 million appease. fishes of all i am going to say i would love to have that money. i would take it. i have no scrums es, no qualms about it. if i was a congress person. if you're going to bribe a member of congress, do it the legal way , go through a lobbying body. don't go out there and tweet and show up with a briefcase full of cash. this isn't the maffia. we've all done some stupid things on social media. nobody is perfect. but you could face up to 15 years in

are arguing she violated a federal law and she didn't back down. she was tweeting obscenities later on on her twitter page. what do you have to say to rosie o'donnell, broked dinchts i know you watch, rosie. here's the thing. i think social media and the laws that govern it, like say with the president, the laws against a member of the government calling for someone to be fired from a private corporation. we're not really caring about that when the president does it, so when rosie o'donnell does something with a tweet i think something is going to come out of this, just don't do this anymore. if you're going to bribe a political figure, do it the right way. do it the way the rest of capital hill does it . ticking with celebrities and the mixture of politics, the gop l gop tax bill has gotten a lot of

baldwin says the tax plan will convince his brother to reelect trump in to 20. he is a trump impresser percent nateor. he believes alec will vote for trump. after the actor receives this new tax cut. he also revealed he and his family member, alec have not spoken since the election. i would think alec baldwin would vote for president trump because it behooves his career. let's stop with the fake outrage. these sn l act os, the comedians they love it because trump is quick wait for them. if i was a member of the cast of snl i would be outraged that he gets to do that role. that's a star making role. if i'm on a cast, this is m

all of a sudden you get a baldwin coming in i would be upset. who would you upset if you could get a hollywood actor. >> i would get george clooney. >> that's fake news and speaking of which we have fake news coming up. it was very popular in 2017. >> stay tuned for the fake news we'll wrap all that up and steve bannon put rumors to rest about his own political future. what is in store.

>> and we're back. we all know the president has it fake news or really just anything that isn't good news for him. but sometimes the news isn't fake, it's just incorrect, which i guess could be fake. sometimes the mistakes

they took a look at some of the top media corrections. louisville's journal went back to the 1880s to create every inference. the washington post express was embarrassed by their front page mistake for a sore i previewing the woman's march. so what should you probably not do when you're covering a woman 's \march\march have the symbol for men instead. and then there's this editor's note from the post. this story has been updated to more precisely describe white house press secretary's location, in the minutes before he briefed report ers spicer huddled with his staffers on the white house grounds, not in the bushes as the story originally stated. i'm just picturing his little podium that he's wheeling out

with the podium. i'm sure there are sometimes that spicer wanted to hide in the bushes. elongely looked a at them where can i go there's fake news, acb news with brian ross. the cnn report they had to retract. you're trying to defense them. i'm tired of the term fake news. >> yes. it's been so over used can we leave that in 2017? it not only belittles reporting, but what it does, it makes it sound not so serious. we've rattled off fake news so much. fake news again, it's a joke. if you get something wrong it's a joke. speaking of getting something wrong, i got a little dig here, steve bannon got roy moore very, very wrong for a candidate. he is not running

that was the word from bannon's associates after news surfaced that trump's former campaign manager was considering a 2020 bid if president trump did not run for reelection. the report first came out in a profile bannon published in vanity fair and it said back in october he a nouned his consideration to run to one of his advisors and that in private conversations he said trump only had a 30 percent comans of finishing his term. where is the love? h he said it was quote, fake news or representatives close to him said that. he is 100 percent not running for president. i want to say that that's a good thing because considering the& republicans just lost the red dest state in america, in alabama maybe we go a little l off course from teef ban ofnlt maybe bannon's time is up. what i love is anyone who is any realm of politics they are confident enough to think that they could also be president. do you know

actually be be a good candidate the rock. who doesn't like him he has the voice, the stat your he's loveable. he's a former miami hurricane. i'm 100 percent in. i'll be on the rock's campaign. i'll work for the rock, 100 percent. a look at who will be sleeping soundly and who ill will be tossing and turning all night when we come back. z2momz zi0z
