and johnson their documents they created and each one of those juries found the johnson and johnson failed to warn consumers about the link between talcum powder and the increased risk of ovarian cancer not only that they found the conduct was malicious and this judge all of a sudden says well i guess i suppose maybe juries are stupid maybe five different jurors juries totally different juries different parts of the country determine that yes they read juries reviewed everything and not only were they negligent they were malicious it is the worst kind of judging that's what juries are for a judge should not put them place themselves in a place of a jury who's looked at all this and said yeah this is bad well there have been very successful cases though i mean what is the difference here are there are there people who are going to take this and sort of set a precedent of judging it in this way based on a cherry i mean do you see it affecting these other cases. lindsay here's the problem since when did we get to the point in the united states where a judge. makes all the decisions rat

>>reporter: cnn has learn the srgeant johnson was found a mile away. the pentagon is still looking at the exact circumstances of how johnson became separated. officials say the entire team led by green berets has been interviewed about the last time they saw johnson. nigerian force found his body 48 hours after he had become separated. defend secretary james mattis was on capitol hill today a to meet john mccain. >> i felt we were not getting sufficient amount of information, and we are clearing a lot of that up now. >> we can do better at communication. we can always improve on communication, and that's exactly what we'll do. >> mattis is defending his troops in the face of criticism. >> having seen some of the news reports, u.s. military does not leave its troops behind. and i would just ask you not to question the actions of the troops who were caught not fire fight and question whether or not they did everything they could in order to bring everyone out at once. >> u.s. officials are starting to provide a clear picture of the circumstances surround

johnson at the terrible loss of sergeant johnson as well as all of the family members who lost theirwant to make sure that general kelly apologizes to congresswoman frederica wilson. she is a woman of integrity, she's a woman of represent, she's brilliant, she has a long history of service to children and their families, and she has mentored so many young african american boys and males and young men. and i just have to say, what he said and what he -- how he -- general kelly conducted himself against this woman in terms of trying to malign her character, is reprehensible and he needs to apologize and needs to do it right away. >> i will say she gave about a nine-minute speech at the dedication of that building in florida, almost four minutes of that speech were spent, you know, giving praise to the two fallen fbi agents that the building was eventually named after. something else we want to get you on and that is the sort of extraordinary sentiment we heard this morning from myesha johnson, the widow of fallen sergeant la david johnson, here's what she said. >> i heard him stumbling

but sergeant la david johnson is still missing. his body would not be recovered for another 48 hours. >> on the eventing of 6 october, sergeant johnson's body was found and subsequently evacuated. from the time the firefight was initiated until sergeant johnson's body was recovered, french, nigerian or u.s. forces remained in that area. >> reporter: congress wants answers, but some top lawmakers admit, they didn't know u.s. troops were there. we're at in the world militarily, and what we're doing. i didn't know there was 1,000 troops in niger. >> reporter: the president has been taking credit for victories against isis. >> i totally changed the attitudes of the military and they have done a fantastic job. yeah, isis is now giving up. they're giving up. they're raising their hands. they're walking off. nobody's ever seen that before. >> why didn't that happen before? >> because you didn't have trump as your president. >> reporter: but the pentagon today made clear who is responsible for the deaths of these four americans. >> so, our

johnson met at the airport. they are concerned because all she received is dog tags and she has not been able to see anything and she wants to find out and we're supposed to find out tomorrow from according to people close or person close to the family that they're going to find out tomorrow if there's any remains in the casket. >> and he's calling her a liar on twitter. mark, myesha johnson said that she still has questions about how her husband was killed and she said she's, as we've heard, she said she znt didn't even know if there was a body in the casket. we know -- we know that his body was recovered 48 hours after the attack, the chairman of the joint chief joseph dunston spoke to reporters today. did we get any answers from him? >> let's go through what we do know. first of all this happened on october 4th so it's been 19 days before we heard from the joint chiefs. as you said, general dunford coming out today. i personally cannot fault him for not having any answers because clearly the fog of war right

as johnson itself points out or burglary, johnson himself points out burglary was a problem. why precisely because under the ordinary approach, courts were required to look past the elements, burglary is committed. the elements are completed. the moment you cross the threshold, that's, if that's the government's reading, then burglary would be out. what the court said in johnson is that it's what happens after you cross the threshold that creates the risk. then the government shifts to, okay, while the crime is urnway, that's what in the course of committing the crime means. but that's not a solution. that is exact ly the problem tht johnson describes. it's concern was that the ordinary case analysis was quote detached from the stat torre elements and it leads you to speculate after the elements have all been satisfied, but while the crime is underway. suppose a state intacted a statute that says no person may be licenseded to teach preschool if the person has satisfied the language, not by reference to 16b, but the language included in 116b. would that be constitutional vagu

the news brought no pleasure to joe johnson. when he got lee's order to concentrate your forces and , he repliedherman "these troops form an army too weak to cope with sherman." of course, davis had heard back before -- that before. the day after he wrote that response, johnston, who was living in south carolina, ran into mary chestnut, who was apparently everywhere that anything happened during the confederacy. she wrote in her diary that night "johnston was very angry to be ordered to take command again. he did not see this as a reconfirmation of his skill as a general. he believed that he had been but -- put back in command to bear the historical appropriate him of being the guy who finally had to surrender. in spite of that, he did accept it. it is interesting to speculate why. circumstances were so bleak, it could hardly be imagined that he thought victory was still possible. in theory, he was in charge of all confederate forces east of the mississippi other than lee's beleaguered army here in petersburg. in reality, that c

johnson, dustin wright. be right back. if you've been struggling with belly pain and constipation, and you're overwhelmed by everything you've tried-- all those laxatives, daily probiotics, endless fiber-- it could be wearing on you. tell your doctor what you've tried, and how long you've been at it. linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than eighteen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk t

johnson a liar. and what i don't understand about that is, i don't -- i don't personally know anyone who would react that way. i mean, i don't believe the president's account, but even if the president feels he was misunderstood, i can't imagine feeling as though -- feeling anything other than just devastated that you made someone feel that way and wanting to reach out and fix it. that's what stood out to me. >> john kirby, you were shaking your head. i think one of the things john kelly was trying to do the other day was to explain the reason the president said he knew what he signed up for is that what general dempsey, i believe -- >> general dunford. >> general dunford told jen general kelly he had died and said something along those lines. the conversation between two marine generals might be quite different. >> exactly. in the context of that conversation for the kelly family, it probably was comforting and a reminder that general kelly what service to the community might command of you. a young

call her by her name, myeshia johnson. call him by his name, sergeant la david johnson. he is not her guy. he is her husband. and that is the part that hurt her the most. >> general kelly -- >> that is the part. >> general kelly said that he was so stunned and frankly hurt by your words and your reaction that in order to gather his thoughts he had to go to arlington national cemetery. he spent an hour and a half walking among the grave stones of the people there, the people who made the biggest sacrifice and are the finest people in our country. because he was hurt in that way, do you have anything you would like to say to germ kelly today? >> to general kelly, i have lost members of the role models project in war before during the urbg war. we know what it is. we feel for you just like we feel for la david's parents and la david's wife. you have my deepest sympathy. but i would never say to you your son knew what he was signing up for. that would not be a part of my sympathy message to you. >> how is this public fight you're having with the president and now general kel

but this court said in johnson -- i mean, johnson actually had notice. johnson knew that the illegal -- that the sawed-off shotgun was illegal, but this court struck the statute. justice alito: so that makes my point. he had notice. he knew. so where's the procedural violation? mr. rosenkranz: well, for -- for the vast majority of people and the people who are affected by it, it is procedural. but, you know, your honor, i just realized, in this colloquy, i never did answer the other part of your honor's question, justice alito, about the reasons why the vagueness standard applies here, the criminal vagueness standard. so the first i said, before you ever get to jordan, is that the -- that 16(b) is itself a criminal statute. the second reason is, to the point that justice gorsuch was making about the relationship between -- between criminal law and immigration law, there is not an area of law where the two are as integrated, and 16(b), in particular, excuse me, the acca provision here, in particular, has very significant criminal consequences. the aggrava

the widow of sergeant la david johnson, myeshia johnson is speaking out and importantly still looking for answers about what happened to her husband. >> joining us now, republican congressman steve russell of oklahoma. also, we should know, an iraq war combat veteran. congressman, thank you so much for being with us. i know you didn't get a chance to hear myeshia johnson this morning. among other things, she said the president's tone made her very upskp upset and that the president didn't remember her name. but she also said she's not getting answers to basic questions, how did her husband die, where did her husband die? why did it take 48 hours to recover his body? what's your reaction after hearing from a military widow like that? >> -- since the 1960s, they've done foreign trading missions like that from their inception. in africa, you have an awful lot of al qaeda and isis affiliates. . boko haram, al shabaab, others. they work in tribal areas and they try to fractionalize, to create unrest in what are normally peaceful countries. and so you had the united states, great britain, f

in johnson. the statute has the same limitation in different language. 16 b covers risks in the course of committing the crime. res -- i'd like to address concretely the in the course of committing the crime point. i can't tell you why the government is wrong without knowing what the government thinks those words mean. and the government keeps shifting back and forth. between two versions of what in the course of committing the crime means. at points the government says that it means in order to satisfy the elements of the crime. so it reads the sentence to me and you lock for substantial risk the physical force maybe used in order to satisfy the elements. that's not how any court was ever applying this provision. it's not how the government was telling courts to apply the provision. the government back then and even now, mr. needler points to conspiracy and other offenses. those offenses are completed the elements are completed when you say i want you to kill my wife here's a hundred bucks. they

to date the most pro israeli american president in history johnson was very tough mood. i'm tom he was director in the state department director of intelligence and research at the time of the liberty incident and sixty seven attack on the liberty johnson himself briefed newsweek magazine off the record that the israelis had attacked and the reason it attacked was that they thought this was an intelligent ship that was a deception perhaps israeli as well as egyptian communications but then everything changed. the fact that johnson of self was the leaker and briefer of newsweek was soon leaked and this alarmed of course the israeli embassy and their leading friends in the jewish organizations the israeli embassy regarded this as a major problem. and that. what johnson told newsweek practically amount of blood libel declassified israeli documents show they were going to threaten president johnson with blood libel gross anti semitism and that would end his political career blackmail. this is what i know bobbie are among us navy retired former director of the national securi

is still missing. >> why did it take time to recover la david johnson?at ambush, dustin wright who was planning a future with his girlfriend in philadelphia. 35-year-old staff sergeant bryan black who spoke arabic and french but also learned a local dialect to communicate with natives. and also, staff sergeant jeremiah johnson. >> there are 800 american trumans in niger. of them, less than 100 are the advisers to local military. >> you can be with them on the front lines which was clearly the case. you can stay back behind the front lines and that's what happened for a while in iraq. it is one of those euphemisms, advise and assist. >> last tuesday johnson's body made the long journey home. >> i want everyone >> you've known him since you were 6. >> yes. >> it was during her car ride to dover air force base to meet her huss's casket when she received the now infamous condolence call from president trump. >> i asked sergeant neil put his phone on the speaker so my aunt and uncle could hear as well. what he said was -- >> the president. >> yes. the preside

specifically sergeant johnson? and why did it take time to find and recover sergeant johnson? these are all fair questions the investigation is designed to identify. what i would say, i hope from this brief overview i've outlined why our forces were in niger, what they were doing at the time of the incident on the 3rd and 4th of october, what we know and the questions that remain that we will work on over the next several weeks as the investigation unfolds. with that, i'm happy to take your questions. >> thanks very much. we have reported that sergeant johnson's body was found some one mile away from the initial site of contact. is that consistent with the information you have, and is there any assessment at this points too why that was the case? and i have a brief follow-up. >> in this -- this really is for all of you as we ask questions. we feel pretty confident in what took place before this patrol moved out. we know the general route that the patrol took before they came back in. what happened from the time the patrol went out on the operation until the time they returned,

what johnson told newsweek practically amounts of blood libel.declassified israeli documents show they were going to threaten president johnson with blood libel gross anti semitism and that would end his political career blackmail. this is imo bobby r m m us navy retired former director of the national security agency. but they know if he is thinking about running again he's going to need money for his campaign. so alleging that he's blood libeling is gonna rouse the jewish donors the israeli government hired teams of lawyers some of whom were close friends of lyndon johnson and began an all out offensive they lent on the media to kill critical stories and slanted others in favor of israel. there was a campaign mounted to see if what could be done about returning johnson to his normal. predictable pro israeli position at the time johnson was still undecided as to whether to run for president the following year efforts were to be made to remind the president of the delicacy of his own position that he personally. might lose support. for his run fo

specifically sergeant johnson. and why did it take time to find and recover sergeant johnson? >> reporter: the comments come amid growing tension with capitol hill. top lawmakers from both parties accused the administration of failing to disclose how four service members were killed in niger. >> americans should know what's going on in niger, and one of the fights i'm having right now with the administration is the armed services committee is not getting enough information. they deserve it because we represent their families, too. >> reporter: questions have swirled since the october 3rd raid that left four american soldiers dead, killed in an ambush by up to 50 isis-aligned affiliates near the niger/mali border. there has been conflicting information about what the american troops were doing at the time of the ambush and how they came under fire from the isis insurgency. >> obviously there is something that they even don't know at this moment. >> reporter: another key question, why was the body of sergeant la david johnson found nearly a mile away from the scene of the ambush

johnson. it's tragic and heartbreaking, sadly. in combat sometimes the damage that's done to our physical form is such that it's simply can't be viewed in the public. i understand her desire. i understand her need to see her husband, and i certainly understand that there are going to be, you know, maybe some conspiracy theories out there, but i also have faith in the army and the military, the way they conduct business in dover, and i know that it is sergeant johnson who will be interred in the coming days and the entire thing is heartbreaking and tragic. >> you know, colonel, part of me thought as we were going through this back and forth for the last few days that maybe myeshia johnson would speak and that maybe that would be the final word. that, i think was something that seemed appropriate to many people who have been following tis story and that's not what happened. she speaks out on "good morning america," and then the president tweets and disagrees with her. what did you make of that?

johnson. the gentle woman from california is recommended. >> i move to strike the last word. >> i just want to thank mr. conyers for offering this amendment and note that a requirement without any enforcement is unlikely to be utilized. in 2009, west stat actually did some research on this. on persons who received tentative noncompliant notices, current law prohibits taking adverse actions until you have a final notice. what they found was that more than one-third of the employers admitted that they took an action to reduce pay, restrict work assignments, delay trainings, even though they weren't supposed to do that, because there's no penalty. now, that doesn't sound like a lot, but if we've got 465,000 americans who are subject to this, a third of that is 153,000 americans who could lose their jobs or have adverse implications to their job because there's no requirement really for notification that's enforceab enforceable. so we've got penalties spread throughout this bill. i know that most

johnson. mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. i would just respond to my learned colleague by quoting a renowned liberal legal scholar, e late abner migva who explained in a law review article back in 1986, that even if it were less efficient to go through congress that would be no reason to cede the point of principle. this is what he wrote, to ensure congress would act sstheas first branch of government, the founders gave them the ability to control the purse strings. they knew this was the most far-reaching and effectule of all government powers. they understood that a diverse group of individuals would less efficiently and less coherently device fiscal policy than would a single treasurer or fiscal czar yet they chose for good reason to suffer this cost and bear its risks. that's from a liberal legal scholar and of course conservatives agree. the system that the founders set up, the reason and if you were for article 1 is to allow these major decisions to be made by the elected representatives of congress. for that reason, we

johnson?nson jr.? >> yes, ma'am. >> you're charged with reckless homicide. there are some people here in court on your behalf. ladies, is there anything you would like to say? >> i'm his grandmother. >> yes, ma'am. >> this was a very unfortunate accident. two lives have been destroyed. he's a good child. he's an athlete. doesn't drink. he doesn't smoke. he has massive support, friends, family, church. just about everybody in this room is here for him, to support him. >> i can't ignore the seriousness of the charge. on the charge of reckless homicide the bond is $50,000. we are finished, sir. thank you. you may leave the room. thank you. >> for $50,000 bond, johnson would need to post $5,000 to be released while he awaits trial. the remainder can be posted by a bail bondsman. >> me and my mother, my grandmother, the three of us, there's not much money to go around. so it's like now i'm just sitting here. and i'm going to be sitting here for a while. >> while johnson faces an uncertain future, a

and why did it take time to find and recover sergeant johnson? again, these are all fair questions that the investigation is designed to identify. i hope in this brief overview, i have outlined why our forces were in niger, what they were doing at the time of the incident, what we know and again , the questions that remain that we will work on the next several weeks. and with that, i'm happy to take your questions. >> general dunford, thanks very much. we have reported that sergeant johnson's body was found one mile away from the site of contact. is that consistent? and is there any assessment as to why that was the case? gen. dunford: we feel pretty confident in what took place before this patrol moved out. we know the general route that the patrol took before they came back in. what happened from the time the patrol went out on the operation until the time they returned, there has been a lot of speculation and reports and i want to baseline what we know and don't know. what you are asking is a fair question, but we don't know it definitively. i

johnson, the chairman of the joint chiefs made this promise to her.he fallen. >> we're going to go to every last length to try to satisfy their concerns and answer their questions. >> reporter: mrs. johnson was asked whether she has anything she would like to say to the president now. and she said no. she has nothing to say to him. jonathan karl, the white house. >>> the family of an american soldier killed in afghanistan now has the personal check promised by president trump. it arrived yesterday via fedex, mailed from the president's new york address. a army sergeant dylan bulger died in june. the president telephoned the family in july offering condolences but also offering them $25,000. only when he sent the condolence letter there was no check. now his stepmother tells abc news she's speechless and quotes from the letter with the check. >> i hope this will make things a bit easier, but nothing will ever replace your son dylan. he was an american hero. it is a check, made out to us for $25,000. >> the white house says the money has been in the wor

this young man, ladavid johnson. some issues surrounding why he was separated, et cetera, so let's deal with that. for the commander in chief who i think made a call with good intentions, but we know trump is inartful in his speech. it's awful. i think he echoed what general kelly told him and he just parodied it and got it wrong and offended the family. it hasn't helped the white house at all. >> i want to ask you about your reaction to two former presidents speaking out on the same day this week. i'm curious, jonathan, if you were surprised certainly by president bush coming out so forcefully. >> i was a little bit surprised because he's been pretty quiet since, you know, since he left office. but there was no subtlety to these remarks even though he didn't mention president trump by name. the most important part of them i think is when he said that if the -- basically if people at the top act like bullies, that sends a message to families and to children across america. what the president does, the way he comports

johnson, certainly. with all four of the fallen in this particular case and anyone in the department that gives their lives on behalf of our country, we're going to do everything we can to answer those families' questions. reporter: sir, just a follow-up, who found sergeant johnson's body? which force? gen. dunford: initial reports -- and again, my understanding is the body was reported by nigerian forces to u.s. forces. i'm going out a little bit on that one because i feel pretty comfortable that that's what the reporting was, but again, from the investigation we'll get the final details, but that's the initial report. right there in the back. reporter: so as isis decentralizes and u.s. military looks to partner with a number of partner nations to attack it across the global network you described, should the american people expect to start hearing about incidents like this in countries outside of iraq and syria in places they're maybe not familiar with? gen. dunford: again, in this particular case we've

johnson, as you should. mrs. johnson, since the president seems incapable of finding the right words, let me speak for the entire country. we are all sorry for what you are going through. all grief is different, and we cannot imagine how deep and profound yours is. we agree with you that la david, your hoe rehusband, was an awesome soldier, a great man, a great american. we know from what has been written about him that he wanted to be someone great, do great things with his life and he was great, and he did great things. he is a role model to me. when his photos come on the tv screen or i see them in the newspaper, i am so incredibly proud of him and what he accomplished. and to be extremely candid with you and with the world, as a black man i'm always looking for role models who look like me and the latest one i found was your husband, la david. may he rest in peace. and may you find peace when you can finally get a good night's sleep knowing that this is america. we got your back. believe that. signed me, don

when she says our community, i'm from miami, sergeant johnson was from miami.'s not a rabble rouser, she would not play with the death of a soldier, and i just cannot bring myself to understand how a commander in chief can see the sight of a pregnant wife draped over her husband, her dead soldier husband's coffin and still have the gall to get into a fight with fredry ka and with the soldier's mother who is now confirming her account of what happened. there's some fight you just have to step away from. even if you think you're right. even if you think you're wrong, you do not fight with the family of a dead soldier. you do not throw out the name of your chief of staff's dead son's name in order to make a political point. you do not attack john mccain, a national hero, just to make a political point. he did all those things on the same day. >> scott, i have to ask you about this, because people are saying this is being politicized, that the congresswoman is politicizing, but the president was the first one to do it. do you think he brought it on himself? >> i do
