we've already heard patrick leahy has ordered that 1$1.3 billion to egypt be reviewed.hat's different about this coup is that the military announced that president morsi was no longer the elected representative of the people. but it's not clear that morsi is under arrest. he was not killed by the military. it was a bloodless coup. and a transitional government was put into place of technocrats and the head of the constitutional court. so it's not as though a general took over. we've lettered heard the saudi arabian king welcome the new government. the president as of now has not made a statement. >> jennifer, any reaction there from the pentagon? >> the pentagon has been careful not to make any statements. the defense secretary just left the white house where he was with the president and national security team as well as the cia director for the last few hours. discussing what to do next. there have been no readouts in that meeting. but we're told the u.s. military is not planning at this moment in time to help with that evacuation of u.s. personnel in the american emb
