gates is among the wounded. he is in the advanced guard commanded directly by thomas gage, who will later be a general on the british side of the revolution. gates is actually shot through the body, left for dead in the ground, and that one of his sergeants in his regiment comes out, it makes a for him and carries them to safety and saves his life. but he nearly dies on the battlefield of what is now western pennsylvania in 1775, along with many other british and american officers. he spent the next few years on the new york frontier, especially in the mohawk valley where he is fighting various french, canadian and indigenous warriors. in 1758, he is going to become brigade major, really like a military chief of staff to general john stanwyck. gates is going to thrive as a staff officer. he is very organized. he has great attention to detail. this is going to really make his name within the british army during the french indian war. he impresses his superiors as a brigade major. eventually stanwyck goes back to

florida congressman matt gates and the word was applies because in the last hour gates has resigned from congress which ends a house ethics investigation looking into him and the allegations that he may have engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, dispensed improper favors two individuals and sought to obstruct government investigations into his conduct. he was also investigated by the justice department concerning sex crimes allegations which he also denies. the doj also decided not to pursue criminal charges against him. this is the president-elect is about to see to federal cases against him go away. here is some of the reactions at least from one democratic senator. >> that gates is dangerously unqualified. this will be a red alert moment for american democracy. matt gates is being nominated for one reason, he will implement trump's transition of the department of justice from the agency that stands up for all of us to a agency that is a arm of the white house designed to persecute trumps political enemies. >> republicans were not of one voice on the appointment. >> i do n

everybody knows about matt gates. oklahoma senator mark served in the house of representatives with matt gates before moving up to the senate and has done a few interviews this week in which he has appeared to first oppose the nomination and then suggest his mind was still open on the nomination and tonight the senator is not quoted in the washington post saying i think it is a difficult path, in fact i do not see a path forward at this point. here is what the senator said a year ago about matt gates. >> this is a guy that the media did not give a time of day two after he was accused of sleeping with a underage girl and there is a reason why nobody in the conference came and defended him because we all saw the videos he was showing on the house floor. the girls he slept with, he bragged about how he would crush ed medicine and chase it with a energy drink so he can go all night. this is obviously before he got married so when the accusation came out nobody defended him. >> leading off the discussion is a democrat of t

pam will be just as malleable as matt gates would have been. in some ways she could be worse because she knows a little bit more about the enforcement of laws. >> i think she was actually a prosecutor. she has qualifications matt gates lacked. let me follow up with you. part of my contention was they want to get rid of politics. they wanted to get rid of advice and consent, the first branch in article 1, what we say goes and this was the first test of that. as somebody that went to the process one of the things about advice and consent is senators have large egos and they take it seriously. just because they are democrat and you meet with them it is not like they are like great, they have stuff they want to hear from you to get to yes. >> that is true, when you step into the turbine step over them this is doing that. they take it personally whether they are republican's are democrats. the other thing chris is you are dealing with politicians who at the end of the day even if they are cold to trump, they will go to in their own political interes

those are the final words from gates sources telling cnn that the president elect was all in on gates. they told us that he didn't have someone waiting in the wings. well, that's a big question, right? so either he was ready on on pam bondi ready to go or he made that decision as quickly as he had made the gates decision we don't yet know. but we do know that many of trump's biggest supporters in congress, like josh hawley, were happy. gates is out my plan is to support all of them. >> i think they've got momentum. i thought the meeting today with gates went great and it's full steam ahead. >> that was just yesterday, maybe barely over 24 hours ago today. here's hallie well, i'm sure it's the right decision. >> she feels like it is. and the president feels like it is the right decision well, kristen holmes is out front to begin our coverage near mar-a-lago. >> and kristen, i was just talking about how one would go in six hours from gates to pam bondi if you didn't already have something in your head about how this would go. but but we just don't know. i know you've been learning more

okay, that's it for gates. he's gone into the quietly into the night there would be nothing that would indicate gates is going to go quietly into the night. and in fact, use of the word post would indicate that he fully anticipates trump will find another role for him. >> i think it's pretty clear that the end of matt gaetz is not nigh, and i think that becomes a reason for this report that the house committee has kept buried should see the light of day. >> i mean, i still think that it is incredibly important for that to be made public, and it is unclear if indeed these allegations are not as as matt gaetz says they are, that that why haven't they shown that to anyone yet? i mean, the fact is that this entire thing, the allegations against him, that he was grooming young high school girls and he slept with one of them that was 17 years old. i mean, is should be disqualifying on the merits. and let us not forget that donald trump was supporting his nomination for attorney general until the end. and it was only

gates has denied wrongdoing. the adult woman, the witness referenced also denied having sex with the minor. but before we published this story, we contacted gates about this reporting and while we were waiting for his response a few minutes before they knew we would be on air, he announced he was withdrawing his nomination. >> paula we've heard some some of these allegations before, but this is significant. tell us why. >> yeah, this is certainly salacious. but this reporting illustrates the kind of information the ethics committee has that is not yet public. earlier this week, a lawmaker waved away our colleague when they were asking about releasing the report. and the lawmaker said, you know it all. you reported everything that's in the report but this is an example of the kind of information that has not been released. wolf, i have reported on these investigations for four years, broken dozens of stories on gates investigations and never heard about this so what else does the ethics committee have? that is a q

ademÁs, gates ha sido muy controversial. se ha peleado con otros republicanos. cÁmara de representantes, kevin mccarthy. pero tambiÉn en los Últimos aÑos ha hecho unas declaraciones bastante controversiales sobre el departamento que va a liderar y otros departamentos del gobierno. vamos a escuchar government back on our side or we defund and get rid of about the fbi. >> cdc, atf, doj every last one of them. if they do not come to heal. maybe general of the united states if necessary id fire. every little quicker at the jr. edgar hoover building. >> bueno, ahora estÁ a las puertas de ser secretario de justicia. eso es lo que quiere donald trump. dice que es un abogado sÚper dotado que reorganizÓ el departamento al que trump le tiene desprecio. trump ha tenido problemas con el departamento de justicia. sabemos que le abriÓ investigaciones, que le presentÓ cargos y por eso el mandatario lo ha tenido en la mira y ahora nombra a mark gates y en otra noticia relacionada, gates estaba siendo investigado por el comitÉ de Ética de la cÁmara baja. iban a presentar el resu

they're called gate lice. and so now when the gate agent scans their boarding pass you can hear this audible alert. here it is again dinosaur to the tar pits. that one. when the passenger hears that they they really get sent back to the penalty box in a way as to rejoin the line when they're proper group is called. this is a pretty simple piece of tech. this is on a gate agent's smartphone. an american has been testing this some smaller airports like albuquerque and tucson, a bigger hub reagan national airport, has been one of the test beds just outside of d.c. here. but american says this will also be in place at austin-bergstrom and atlanta. hartsfield jackson in time for the holidays. atlanta is the busiest airport in the u.s. then about 100 additional airports. beyond that, this is significant because american is expecting about 8.3 million passengers over the thanksgiving rush on a total of about 77,000 flights. flying with somebody in an earlier group? >> that's the question you asked us in the break, bo

gates denies he was involved and the doj never filed charges. we were expecting the house, which, remember, is run by gates. fellow republicans to issue a report about its investigation into gates tomorrow. but that's not clear. it's going to happen because he just resigned from congress to accept the job as attorney general. assuming, of course, he's approved by the senate and he may not be. the idea that someone investigated by the doj for such a serious, serious crime might then run. the doj caught many in washington off guard, as did trump's naming of former hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard to be the director of national intelligence. that would put her in charge of the cia, the nsa, all the american spy agencies. several republicans have accused gabbard of having too close relationship with russia parenting, parroting russian propaganda. and she met unexpectedly and privately with syrian president bashar al assad and said after that meeting, he was not the enemy of the united states. american troops were in syria at the time. now trump's

gates efforts to shore up support for his nomination. he was at the hills with vice president elect j events on wednesday, and tried to make your ground with senators, senators, all the ones who will approve or will go in comedy and will interviewed those candidates, nominated or 4 posts in the trump cabinet. but all of them, but most of them and have to replace them. but the, there was no way that he could republican, as well as democrats, and definitely more important in this case, republican senators, to agree to this. that's why the court and withdrew from the nomination. what's happened? gate is not the only one of problems cabinet picks accused of sexual misconduct. strums nominee for secretary of defense is also in the news. what can you tell us about the allegations against pete hex us? yeah, similar scenario for pete hex if um they are what came to light. there is the police report detailing and fairly graphic detail the locations of a woman who says and claims that mr. hatch, this is sexually assaulted her that was 7 years ago

so for now, the report will remain secret gate. as of course, president electronics nominated to the attorney general trustees gates as a fierce defender and a disrupting force capable of carrying out trumps promise of retribution against his political enemies. but with no experience as a prosecutor, gates is qualifications to be the nation's top law enforcement officer has been heavily question even by selling republicans. he's also been written by scandal investigated by the very department of justice that he's being tapped to lead for claims of sex. trafficking, a minor doj declined to bring charges, and gates denies those accusations. the house ethics committee that launched its own investigation and after 3 years was due to produce its report on gates. until of course, last week he was nominated by trump to the attorney general. and promptly resigned from the house. members of the ethics committee was again mom about what was decided each time, close doors. today, they may still make the report public or offer it to the senate

gates is president elect trump's pick to lead the justice department. now, among the allegations that gates had sex with a 17 year old girl and that he used illicit drugs. allegations gates fiercely, fiercely denies. nbc's alice barr is tracking it all from washington. in a public push for president elect trump's embattled pick for attorney general, matt gates, vice president elect jd vance joining the former congressman on capitol hill, sitting down with the republican senators who will decide whether to confirm him. senators have been giving me a lot of good advice. i'm looking forward to a hearing. folks have been very supportive that as the bipartisan house ethics committee in a closed door meeting could not come to agreement about whether to release results of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use that gates forcefully denies. there has been no agreement to release the report. there was no consensus on this issue. we did agree that we would reconvene as a committee on december 5th to further consider this matter. the i

the trump says that is what gates will do. the decision comes is gates continues to be investigated for allegations. they claim he was part of a scheme that led to the trafficking of a 17 year-old. he has denied those allegations the president-elect has also named former democratic congresswoman tulsi gabbard to services director of national intelligence. gabbard also ran for president in 2020 and was the vice chair of the dnc. now republican trump says gabbard will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our intelligence community. >> all taking a live look outside right now. san francisco. you know, it's a little cold out there is raining in now. we have some wave action to worry about. get big along the coastline are worried about the last couple of days. i think see that again as that high surf. >> is going to be rolling on in. and as it does, we're going to see some big breakers along the coastline. some of those. yeah, maybe some 16 footers along the coast. so you've got to watch out for that

just a few isolated showers drifting south of the golden gate.that finally this atmospheric river meanders a bit further southward and impacts the rest of the be the bay area with some more widespread rain. so for most of us today, it's just going to be windy with a few isolated showers. but for the north bay, it's going to be nonstop rain. several inches of in santa rosa. well, maybe not even a single drop in san jose in mountain view. rainfall does approach the rest of the bay area again towards the start of the weekend and continues into the start of next week. some models are projecting that next week could remain active while others are backing off of that, there's a bit of uncertainty towards the end of this event. but regardless the north bases, extreme amounts of rainfall in a short period time. and that means from santa rosa northward area shaded in white in this gradient right here. our most object to seeing some flooding and that especially true in our small drainage is small streams on the north coast. we're also going to see multiple

and it's normal nations, like my gates that have proved to be quite controversial. i mean number it is nobody's have raised some eyebrows, but much gates and particularly what's causing some concern, not just about democrats, but much republicans in the senate who felt that he was perhaps not the right choice for this role. in fact, mike dates was on capitol hill just 24 hours ago loving sentences to back him. donald trump said just 24 hours ago and asked if he was rethinking his position, that he was not re thinking, but it appears now not gates at the sided, but this is just not the past that he can take. the big question now is, who will donald trump nominate to be attorney general and his place as well? any with this transition team, you never know which names they're going to come up. although there's probably a few criteria that he will be picking from one they are likely to have. so i've had some kind of involvement with fox news to they are likely to be some form of trump, loyalist on the uh, weights over the year and 3, they allow me to be somebody like my
