jack goldsmith says he spent seven years in investigating the case and in his book out today he says investigators know who killed hoffa but there's not enough evidence to reveal a name. goldsmith would only say the killer is no longer alive and was connected to a detroit crime family. hoffa was last seen at a restaurant in 1975. >>> a police officer in orlando, florida, who arrested two 6-year-olds at their school has now been fired. police say officer dennis turner did not follow protocol during two separate incidents at the charter school and battery charges against both children have now been dropped. the grandmother of one child said the first grader was handcuffed and had her mug shot taken after she kicked a staff member during a temper tantrum. >>> so check this out, this could be a game changer in the auto industry. researchers say it's possible that a battery could be developed for electric cars that could run for 1 million miles. tesla's elon musk first promised such a battery and now canadian researchers say it's not only possible but could be on the market sooner than ex

jack goldsmith, here's what he said on twitter. article 2 gives the president the authority to do and say and pledge awful things in the secret conduct of u.s. foreign policy. . that is a very dangerous discretion, to be sure, but has long been thought worth it on balance. if the president here did pressure a foreign leader for personal gain, is he protected by article 2 from your viewpoint? >> i think if he committed a felony, he's not protected by article 2. that seems clear to me. what is not as clear is exactly the interrelationship between what exactly when he can block the dni from turning over specific things to congress. because there has been back and forth about this issue and the president's ability to do that. but in this situation, the president says, hey, it was no big dole. there's no problem with what i said. given that he's admitted it's not a problem, he should turn it over and let the house committee deal with it as they deem appropriate. >> thank you all. evelyn will stick around with me. >>> joining me now, cal

this is jack's -- jack goldsmith quoted in today's washington times and he said the president's powero act in confidence is at the absolute height when he has a classified conversation with a foreign leader. the president cannot conduct foreign policy if his or her controversial secret foreign policy negotiations can be disclosed at the determination of an intelligence employee. article 2 gives the president the authority to say and pledge awful things in secret. that is dangerous discretion to be sure, but has long been thought worth it in the balance. what do you think, nelson? caller: exactly. exactly. saypresident can do or anything he wants. that is why we have elections. we put our trust -- the american people put their trust when they voted that president trump is going to have our back. him. up to us to fire these witchhunts congress is doing, it is outrageous. host: here is some of the reaction from capitol hill via tweet, this is lacy clay, the director of national intelligence and everyone conspiring to obstruct oversight -- not to defend one man. , we is brandon boyle obvi
