pierson, julia pierson, the director of course, resigned yesterday, telling bloomberg news, quote, if the secret service of the american public if i step down. congress has lost confidence in my ability to run the agency. the media made it clear this is what they expected. officials say -- officials say -- well, i'll tell you. president obama lost faith after learning he shared an elevator last month at the cdc with an armed man with a criminal record. pierson only told president obama moments before it was reported. >> i can tell you, though, that the white house first learned of that incident yesterday afternoon, shortly before it was reported, before it was publicly reported. >> the agency did foot tell the white house about it. he didn't know about it until yesterday. >> until it was reported publicly, that's correct. we've seen recent and accumulating reports raising questions about the performance the agency. and the president concluded new leadership of that agency was required. >> so what we've gotten from sources close to the white house and the secret service is that there

meadows, katrina pierson sent an email to fellow rally organizers. she wrote, potus expectations are to have something intimate at the ellipse, and call on everyone to -- march to the capital. the presidents own document suggest that the president had decided to call on his supporters to go to the capitol on january six, but that he chose not to widely announce it until his speech on the ellipse that morning. the committee has obtained this draft and inundated tweet from the national archives. it includes a stamp stating the president has seen. the draft tweet reads, i will be making a big speech at 10 am on january 6th, at the ellipse, south of the white house. please arrive early, massive crowds expected. march to the capitol after. stop the steal. although the street was never sent, rally organizers were discussing and preparing for the march to the capitol in the days leading up to january six. this is a january 4th text message from a rally organizer to mike vandal, the -- ceo. the organizer says, this stays between us, we are having a second st

pierson was a member of the team. two. that's why he came to the campus armed with a shotgun and two molotov cocktails. what investigators don't know now is why the 15-year-old girl who remains in critical condition in the hospital was shot. there were initial reports, they say, that she confronted the shooter. they are not sure those reports are accurate. they are still investigating that. there are four separate crime scenes that investigators are looking at. this high school behind me, arapahoe high school, they are looking at the shooter's car and the house where he lived with his mother and his father's house. this investigation will continue throughout the weekend. christi and victor. >> we are expecting, of course, over the next few days, to hear more about what happened inside the school while this was going on. already we heard from some of the students standing outside of the school and crying, reliving what happened. what are they telling you? >> reporter: terrifying experience that these students recount.

pierson prioleau: it was just a feeling like, 'hey, clock, just run out!' so we can just run out on this field and start the celebration. we starting hugging, there was tears, and at that moment, we realized, 'hey, we really won this thing.' it something that i'll never, ever let go. it will always be a part of me, to be able to experience that with year, being the first super bowl for new orleans, it was really special." zac glover: prioleau would reach the end of his nfl career soon after that, and has since began a new chapter of his life, working in the radford school system. and he says there's much more to him than just his past accomplishments. pierson prioleau: "you know, i'm an elementary p.e. teacher at radford, i'm a high school football coach, i'm a dad, i'm a husband. 'hey, coach prioleau is just like all of us.' that's my expression to them. anybody can do this. anybody can be whatever they want to be." zac glover: words he's continued to live by on his way to a superbowl championship, and even now, as just dad. in radford, zac glover, wdbj7.

the house oversight committee is grilling secret service director julia pierson right now looking for answers. >> don't let somebody get close to the president. don't let somebody get close to his family. don't let them get in the white house, ever. and if they have to take action that's lethal i will have their back. in this day and age of isil and terrorists and ieds and dirty bombs, we don't know what's going on underneath that person's clothing. if they want to penetrate that, they need to know that it will be fatal. that it would be message we're sending every single time. i thank them for their service, i love them and care for them but we need better leadership. it's not happening. >> strong words from representative jason chaffetz. we want to turn live to the house oversight and government al reform hearing where julia pierson is now answering questions. let's listen. >> he would not have been apprehended except that he had a car accident and even when he was it was not neimmediately linked to his criminal activity. that, in fact, the system at the white house did not detect t

officials believe pierson was targeting a faculty member, possibly a debate coach who had disciplined him. >> he believed based on the fact that he was armed with multiple rounds, armed with a machete, armed with three incendiary devices, his intent was evil and his evil intent was to harm multiple individuals. >> one student now identified as 17-year-old claire davis was shot and critically wounded before pierson took his own life. authorities say there's no reason to believe that she was a target. the sheriff said pierson bought the shotgun legally one week before the shooting. >>> well, today marks one year since the mass shooting at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut. town officials asked reporters to stay away and allow people there to grieve in private. there were no formal events held in the town today. the town asked people to honor those who lost their lives through acts of service and kindness. a few people gathered outside st. paul's church to pray and remember the victims. >> my hope would be that those of us who are marking this daewoo further our resolv

pierson and mr. feldman have the greatest qualifications. as a gay elder myself i think that having a person who is sufficiently aware to attend this meeting is a key criteria. one of the things unfortunately attending a lot of meeting the police and library commission etc. there's a real problem with attention at the meetings. if someone can't bring themselves to come to the meeting i think that is an unfortunate messages there might be some attention. it's easy to say, you know, i'll do what i have to do but it's a lot harder to get people to do that. unfortunately for example, on the library commission we have at least 2 library commissioners that miss more than they attend pea the mayor's office has a policy when their absent they should be recommended for replacement that was put in place by mayor nooum. so again, i would say that ms. pierson and mr. feldman would bring the most experience to this body >> thank you any public comment on this item?. sooendz. first of all, i want to thank the 3 ca

pierson's testimony on capitol hill yesterday did her no favors. she was pummeled by questions from members of congress who questioned her about the fence jumper who managed to make his way across the white house lawn and into the executive mansion and into the east room before finally, thankfully being stopped. we are joined by justice correspondent pamela brown and jim acosta and justice reporter evan perez. mr. acosta, let us start with you. how did this all play out? >> according to white house press secretary josh earnest, earlier this morning the white house had confidence in secret service director julia pierson and things changed during the course of the day. senior democratic lawmakers are starting to break ranks with this white house and saying they did not have confidence in julia pierson and it was at a meeting earlier this afternoon with dhs secretary jay johnson that julia pierson offered her resignation and following that meeting the president called her to thank her for her years of service. you mentioned this latest security incide

pierson. recently mr. pierson exercised certainly options due to expire under the terms of his contract, mr. pearson is required to hold 1 million shares for two years following termination of employment, and he continues to retain a significant ownership position in valiant. what's interesting about that, and the reason why we couldn't find any filing is because they're saying, he was terminated. no longer an employee, no longer obligated to do it. the filing would have to come from his broker. those the documents that i have in my possession. go ahead, joe? >> as it relates to say sequoia, read the note, 13% down for the year, strip out the valiant portion, up 2 or 3%. sequoia, good record prior to this position and now turn around in management there. they're just protecting the business more than anything else. ultimately doing the right thing and not playing to ar rebound. you can't look at it that way or anyone in the stock right now should be making a decision based on, well, i hope you'll get a reb

with pressure mounting on the secret service, director, julia pierson today offered her resignation. >> she believed it was to the best interest of the agency of which she dedicated her career. pierson was on the hot seat at capitol hill, as lawmakers from both parties blasted the secret service how they handled the security breach at the whitehouse. >> this is disgraceful. >> omar gonzales, a homeless iraq war veteran jumped the fence and made it all the way to the east room. this prompted growing concerns about the secret service, pierson was the head of the agency for just 18 months. lawmakers called for her resignation. >> i don't see how she can make the changes necessary in this position or how she could stay in this position. >> it's incident on september 16th was the last straw, president obama was visiting the cdc that day and in the elevator, he encountered a security guard and started to act unprofessionally and taking photos. and they did a back grown check and found he committed a crime in the past, he would not have been allowed to be there. >> white house fence jumper

julia pierson, director of the secret service has resigned. it turns out unendurable weeks heading an agency that nobody believes stands up to its historic legacy. it came last night with the "washington post" report that an armed man with a criminal record, an armed man was allowed to ride in the elevator with the president of the united states. that must have been an unchallengeable challenge to miss pierson. a bigger challenge confront as bigger fish. how is the president going to get people to follow him through a dimly lit tunnel. endlessly bad news about a spreading terrorism and a spreading disease. it is now part of a trinity of horrors. ebola which we'll go deeper into the next segment. isis which continues reaching for more territory. a land ruled by the harshest of islamist rule. that's what we're facing with the president. he being out on point. all these crisis have no quick fixes. president obama ran on hope and the new. right now everything new is bad. and this right now is the age of containment and it will require him to come

later pierson says this. >> no, he said it. he's embarrassed. >> last night katrina pierson denied the phone call and today she said it. after 30 minutes after the story hit this morning, the president responded on twitter. when you give a crazy low-life a break, i guess it did not work out. good work for general kelly for quickly firing that dog. this is the latest series of tweets of manigault-newman. here is what she says of the president criticism. >> it certainly nothing to do with race but with the president calling someone's lack of integrity. the idea that you only point a few things the president has said negative about people that are minorities, the fact that the president's an equal opportunity person that calls things like he sees it. he fights fire with fire and he does not hold back from doing that across the board. >> whatever you think of that answer and take a moment to consider this. the president calling a former high level adviser, an african-american woman a dog may be material enough for a press briefing.

pierson was appointed director in march of last year to the s reputation. question, how's she doing? part of the secret service's leadership since 2008. she served for predecessor mark sullivan who did such a stellar job, he was in charge during the colombian prostitution scandal and two agents were pulled from the president's detail. one for leaving a bullet in a woman's hotel room and another for sending sexually suggestive e-mails to a subordinate. pierson was director in march of this year when the secret service sent three agents home from the netherlands after a night of heavy drinking. how do we know it was heavy drinking? one of the agents slept it off in a hotel hallway! i just love the idea of the united states secret service being represented so brilliantly. >>> and this latest security breakdown is really a much bigger deal, and to allow the residence of office of the president of the united states to be this vulnerable should result in a complete and utter management house cleaning. and homeland security as well as the secret service. at least

katrina pierson said there are two tapes. we've reached out to cbs for verification was this two separate tapes? we haven't gotten word back. you raise a fair point. gloria, the president does seem to have a penchant for likening people to dogs. i like dogs, but things like choking, getting fired, sweating, a few comparisons he's made to people over the past few years. >> mitt romney choking like a dog. it's his way, a silly way of donald trump asserting his prowess and his dominance. he doesn't like dogs. we know he is a germophobe. but what this is really about is about saying i am stronger than you, and i am better than you, and you choke like a dog and you sweat like a dog, and i'm going to fire that -- i'm going to fire that dog. it's demeaning not only to the person who is saying it, which would be donald trump, but it is demeaning to the office of the presidency and the stature of the presidency because a president really needs to understand that he should not be speaking like this. and i know his supporters will say t

pierson when she testifies.ne is the security breach, but the other involves that it wasn't properly recorded. and there was bipartisan anger about this, which is rare in washington these days. >> reporter: there is anger. the first reports was that he was stopped right inside the white house. okay. that's bad enough. but now we're hearing -- the "washington post" first reporting, and indicating that he got much further into the white house. so people are wondering is there another shoe to drop? what don't we know yet? i think it doesn't look good that this information is coming out peace meal like that. and that it is worse the more we hear about it. >> this is julia pierson being sworn in to testify. that is the committee chairman and the ranking member greeting her. but now we go back to 2011, and we're finding out that that other breach at the white house was far worse than once thought. >> right. the "washington post" said it took four days to realize someone fired a high powered rifle at the white at the t

police have identified the gunman as 18-year-old karl pierson. we're learning more about where they're looking for clues. today, investigators plan to search the home where he lived. they're also searching his father's home to see if that could give them some ideas into whether this was all planned, how long he had been planning, what his motivation may have been. we spoke with the sheriff that says one of the many things they're focusing in on honing in on is where the gun came from. you may recall he walked into this school behind me, arapahoe high school, with a shotgun. it wasn't even concealed. where did that come from, what hands did it pass. the sheriff hoping to bring more details at a press conference this afternoon. yesterday was a horrifying scene for the students in particular who had to go into lockdown as shots rang out. listen to how it all unfolded. >> school on lockdown, not sure why. there's smoke. the north side of the school. there's a fire in the library. >> chaos and confusion at arapahoe high school. >> i am on the north si

. >> and does the president think that julia pierson let him down? >> well, like i said, the president took time out of his day this afternoon to call director pierson to thank her for her service to the agency and to the country. and the president is deeply appreciative of her service. she spent 30 years at the united states secret service because she believes so strongly in the core mission of the agency. >> if i can ask one question about the cdc, on september 16th the president said in the unlikely event that someone with ebola does reach our shores, he used those words, unlikely event, as we know there is a case down in dallas, did the president -- >> there you go. the update from the white house on the change of the guard now at the secret service. we can drop the thing now. it is still astounding and worth repeating it seems to me, that yesterday, after we knew a man and had a -- had a record, was in the elevator with the president, that some guy ran across the front yard and got into the white house, that just a few years before, someone had

pierson has been completely transparent with us. >> is her job on the line? >> 9 director of the secret service said this -- >> this is unacceptable. and i take full responsibility. >> she then went on to defensively make excuses for every terrible display of utter incompetence the secret service has given us in their protection of the white house and the first family. she tried to give defensive speeches instead of answers to very simple questions. >> your agency previously had reported an indictment against mr. gonzalez, asserted that he was arrested in that entry area. isn't it true that he actually penetrated the cross hall, the east room, and, in fact, was arrested in the vicinity of the green room. >> referring to your map on the wall, as i have been briefed, mr. gonzalez entered the front double doors. >> ma'am, i want a short answer. i have very little time. >> that was the day that i agreed with darrell issa. that's not the darrel issa i have seen in other hearings. that was darrel issa being perfectly reasonable today and final bly losing patience w

we, obviously, this morning have been focusing on julia pierson.ing some questions. them us a bit about who she is. >> well, julia pierson is the first ever female to head up the secret service with a lot of different facets to her career, which started in law enforcement in the 1980s three years later, she was in the secret service as a special agent, herself, with the miami office. she went on to serve as a four-year student with the presidential protective division. that position does not require senate confirmation. pierson held several different titles throughout her 30-year career and comparing to the last, to her predecessor, it's similar. you know the bicker question i guess you can ask, she was brought in to clean up the frat boy culture. but it looks like everybody who leaves has actually been brought up in that culture. and you wonder about the choice for a lot of reasons, but let's get to the news in terms of what has happened and what we have learned since the case of the white house jumper broke and the hearings began, this then we di

reaction to director pierson resigning. right thing to do? were you surprised she wasn't able to survive the scandal? >> i was a little surprised it came so quickly. but i think it is the right step. there are the president through josh earnest, his press secretary yesterday, said he had lost confidence in her ability to lead the agency. jay johnson, also feeling the same way. she supposedly did this on her own, submitted her resignation, but yes, it's a step towards accountability. and it's something that the agency desperately needed at this point. >> your reporting certainly seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back for this director of a troubled agency. is there any sense that you get that she might not have been told about that elevator incident at the cdc, where an armed contractor was in the elevator with the president of the united states. or would standard protocol be for all of those breaches, lapses in security, have been reported to her? >> well i was told there is a culture of cover-up at the agency, unfortunately, that'

he didn't violate any laws. >> reporter: pierson insisted that the president and his family are safe, but committee members were unrelenting. stephen lynch of massachusetts: >> and i wish to god you-- you protected the white house like you're protecting your reputation here today. >> reporter: and nevada's stephen horsford: >> let be frank-- i believe you have done a disservice to the teesident of the united states. >> reporter: the white house says the president still has full confidence in the security agency. and, scott, despite some veiled hints from members of congress y,day, secret service director julia pierson has not offered to resign. >> pelley: senior white house correspondent bill plante. bill, thanks very much. tonight, there is new urgency in the hunt for a survivalist who is charged with shooting two pennsylvania state troopers, killing one and wounding the other. eric frein has been on the run, presumably in the pocono mountains, for 18 days. vladimir duthiers reports on today's discovery. >> these are very similar devices. >> reporter: the pictures are of two explosiv

mark: almost half a century has passed since kingsley-pierson has made it to state. in fact, the last time the panthers were here, in 1967, it was still a six- player tournament. k-p, opened its tournament run against last year's class 1a runner-up, springville. this matchup - number 3 vs. number 6 in the state. springville comes out hot - mikayla nachazel - for two of her 24 points - the orioles led it by 10 after one quarter. k-p comes back in the second - quarter - 17 points for the game the break. springville led by as many as 16 in the second half - but k-p makes a late run - allison bailey with two of her 10 points - panthers got within 2 in the final minute. but the orioles are able to stave off the rally - springville ends kingsley-pierson's season, 60-to-53. "my girls have a lot of heart, and finally go those first tournament jiutters out, and as much as we talked about turning it into positive energy, it still affected our shot," said head coach nicole goodwin. "we finally started kicking it in a little bit, just too late we had a hole dug, but we battled b

everybody is ganging up on pierson, who has just been in the job a little over a year. she came to congress and said i need some tools to have better personnel perform wrans, and she suggested first some changes in educational requirements which she wanted increased. some better changes. she wanted authority for management. people could stay in management positions that are qualified, and then last of all and we saw this with the v.a., we finally gave v.a. the ability to hire and fire people who don't do their jobs. just holding people accountable. whether you have julia pierson or someone else, you've got to have the ability to control your agency and get good people. >> so yes or no, you're not calling for her resignation? yes or no. >> no, inlt. i think at this time it's actually premature. whether she stays or goes, whoever is in charge -- congress has had some of her proposals. we don't need all these commissions. they have the authority. pass the law. do your job. we could give her the tools to clean up the mess. >> there's no time to have a bunch of hearings beca

under now former director julia pierson staffing shortages have grown so severe that the agency had to fly in field agents from across the country for two-week temporary details paying their travel, hotel and per diem costs. pierson also rejected an internal recommendation for boosted security around the perimeter of the white house and she regularly accommodated the white house staff wishes for lower security levels over the warnings of her own tactical teams. at one point ahead of the presidential summit with african leaders, the secret service chief reportedly told staff we need to be more like disney world. we need to be more friendly, inviting. today the white house announced a retired secret service agent joseph clancy will officially begin as interim director on monday. he will serve as corporate director of comcast which is the parent company of nbc universal since 2011. is it a new day? don't hold your breath. according to one longtime agent, chancy is one of the most genteel guys, but he doesn't like conflict. they need to clean house, he is not the guy to do it. joining me n

director pierson, i had thought about all of this long and hard, and i think my major concern goes to the culture. it is very disturbing to know that secret service agents in the most elite protective agency in the world feel more comfortable apparently from what i'm hearing, coming to members of this committee and telling things, than coming to you and members in the agency. that -- that, i'm telling you, when i boil all of this down, that to me is dangerous. it goes -- it has to go against morale. i don't even see how good decisions can be made if your people don't feel a level of comfort that -- or they feel fear that they are going to be able to talk about the things that concern them. and that's -- i just want to go through some questions, and i want .you to -- i want to give you a chance to address that, because to me -- when all of the dust settles, that's a problem. so going back to this november 11th, 2011, incident -- and i know you were not the director, i understand that. a lot of people talk about the culture problem with the secret service, and the press reports -- of al

director julia pierson admits agents did not follow protocol. >> i don't sense from you, director pierson, a sense of outrage about that. >> i wish to god you -- you protected the white house like you're protecting your reputation here today. >> reporter: omar gonzalez is in court today facing three counts for jumping the fence and making it all the way into the east room of the white house. initially the secret service said he was stopped just inside the door. >> were you lying to the american people, or were you misled by your own agents about where the intruder was tackled? >> the secret service is conducting an ongoing investigation. >> tremendous restraint is not what we're looking for. the message should be overwhelming force. >> americans know that the next attempt to take the white house may not be by a crazed solo knife-wielding veteran with ptsd. it could well be a planned attack from a terrorist organization. >> reporter: and there's another concern, too, that agents, the rank-and-file, may be afraid to speak up to their superiors. director pierson tells congress that is unacce

we just booked to correct all my katrina pierson.'s what she said. >> ed: why didn't you tell me, ed, i didn't know all the details, but i did say, yes, he used this and were to use the conversation along whitesburg of the first call you are talking about where she is claiming i said that, was in a totally different call, where she was arguing with lynne patton about the existence. let me explain something to you! omarosa has been using this tape to manipulate people. >> ed: she's also using this tape to sell a lot of books. you have katrina pierson doubling down on the book idea of using the word "dog." they say they don't want to focus, she's a liar, they are giving her more attention, and they are selling a lot of books. >> i kind of needed a whiteboard for that discussion because there were a lot of things going on. >> ed: this one, that one. >> the bottom line is they were trying to spin it originally, then omarosa comes out with tapes, and it doesn't look good, and now they are trying to figure it out, going forward. the whole

secret service director julia pierson has resigned following a big hearing regarding the man who jumped the fence and made it well into the white house before being stopped. her replacement will be joseph clancy. this news follows yesterday's heated hearing on capital hill. moments ago the white house press secretary addressed the issue. >> she spent several hours in front of the cameras yesterday answering difficult questions from members of congress. in the context of that interaction she took responsibility for the short comings of the agency she led and she took responsibility for fixing them and that quite simply, i think, is a testament to her professionalism and character. >> president obama called her to suppress his appreciation for her time served in the agency. i want to talk now with congressman cummings. is this the move that had to be made? >> it absolutely had to be made because a culture has developed in the secret service whereby secret service agents feel more comfortable coming before a member of congress and talking about the problems in the secret service and reveal

seems as if the president is quite willing to leave director pierson in place. there seems to be no insistence upon accountability in this administration whatsoever even when it comes to the president's own family and his own life! >> it's a delicate position for the president. he doesn't want to say my gosh, my family and i are scared witless because we don't know if anybody is protecting us. publicly i think he's got to make that persona out there. however, first of all when that incident happened and the jumper got inside, not one but several people should have been fired on the spot. and it should have been very clear, oos not just unacceptable, it's abominable to put the president and his family at risk is unconscionable with all the money we pay for what's supposed to be the most secure place on earth. lou, i've been in and out of white house over the course of many times of governor career and stayed there a few times. it used to be pretty darn tough for me to get in even when i was driven by state troopers, and thoroughly checked out. i cannot imagine th
