sarah. kenneth kelly failed to appear in court.encing and for the families who came here today all of this just adds to their anger and heartache. >> i was just extremely shocked by it really. something told me, though, that he wasn't going to show up for court. i don't understand why he was released after just admitting or taking a plea guilty of killing five people. >> reporter: on face time nina bell cried as she tried to grasp how kenneth kelly was able not show up in court for his senatessing hearing. he was reportedly driving drunk when he crashed of crashed into a car stopped at a red light in oxon hill. inside that car was bell's younger and older sisters, little cousin and another family member. they all died. >> now you kind of feel like maybe the system has failed you because system to right any wrong and i guess all we're left to do is wait. >> reporter: bell now lives in dallas. she says attending kell's sentencing hearing would have been too painful but knowing she was a no show hurts more. >> avenue where you feel th

-- sare ather, sare a sarah, th, secretary kelly said, idea that there are elected officials out thereill sell rat celebre fact that we don't have border wall security and continue fighting it against the will of the american people. >> the border wall is a hot button issue that democrats point to as a symbol of trump administration as racis nationalism, at the end of the day it was a symbolic loss for the trump administration. mick mulvaney came out a couple weeks ago, and said that funding for the border wall was a priority for the administration, the minute he said that, the conversation surrounding government shut down changed. it was no longer just about getting a temporary spending bill to the table to fun the government t september. central question was then will trump administration allow the government to shut down. over the border wall funding, answer was no. charles: do eu. >> democrats a point of leverage. charles: do you think that democrat us would have lost, if we shut down, we could have said democrats lost because they were against the border wall that american public

look what the president has put forward, we're back to the campaign radio roundup between kelly and sean and sarahckabee. >> i've heard from sources that he tried to cast a wire and wanted to see more friends and family and they were willing to go. >> there were people who did not want to jump out in front of this. what you just said, in the past, serving the president and country weren't in conflict. at some point there seems to be a conflict about being sure that the president is happy what you say and he has put staff in difficult spots and chosen to go there. ultimately this is about the president and not about the credibility gap of the people behind the podium no matter who it is and who is the spokespeople are, ultimately it's up to him. the entirety is a reflection of him. up to him to set it straight and ultimately it comes back to him, not the staff. >> you're the only ones who ever held office. can you imagine? >> this all started yesterday because whenever it was, all of the days go over and over. when they said there was a letter saying this guy had to go. people found that curious an

but here is what the vice president kelly ann con way, sarah huckaby sanders, the associate press secretary all said -- they did not say it was the president who wanted to fire jim comey. that is not what they said. here's what they said. >> the president took strong leadership to put the safety and security of the american people first by accepting the recommendation of the deputy attorney general to remove drosh comey as the head of the fbi. >> the president accepted the recommendation of his deputy attorney general to remove james comey from his position. >> recommendation of rod rose steen, the deputy troerge to whom the fbi reported. >> accepted the recommendation, chris, accepting the recommendation, took the recommendation. the president of the united states says not so. he didn't care what the recommendation was, i was going to fire him, anyway. he just said it. >> right. i don't know how better to put it than that clip. the line clearly yesterday was he accepted the recommendation of rod rose steen. it was about the clinton e-mails, the mishandling of it. james comey remembered goi

sarah? >>> search is on for district man who killed five people in a drunk driving accident. the prince george's county state's attorney's office said a warrant is out for kenneth kelly supposed to be sentenced today but did not show up for his hearing. >> the judge gave him some time to show up. he still had not shown up. so the judge issued a bench warrant and as we speak, prince george's county sheriff deputies are searching to take him into custody on that warrants >> he pleaded guilty weeks ago to killing five people in a 2014 cross in oxon hill. prosecutors tell us been wearing a gps monitoring bracelet but apparently took it a you this week, he's facing up to 50 years behind bars for his crime. >>> fox 5 exclusive, a dc firefighter placed on administrative leave after allegedly posting vial comments about a fairfax county firefighter who committed suicide last week. these comments were posed on a facebook page and claimed she committed suicide because she was promiscuous, not because she was bullied. the posts obtained by fox 5 was written by chris sullivan on page called hit it hard from the yard. that is page that advertises itself as a safe haven for firefi

board air force one, a kiss good-bye to sarah netanyahu and a handshake with his longtime friend the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. stephanie? >> thank you, kelly. as the president and first lady make their way on to air force one, heading to rome. i want to bring my panel back in. rebecca, part of the president's mission on this international trip is to try to force out extremism. the fact that we saw this attack take place in manchester last night and possibly isis is behind it, could in any way we draw a link the attack is in response to this movement by the president? >> i think that would be the wrong lesson to learn. the president is trying to explain something i think that we've missed over the last couple of decades, frankly, of fighting islamist radicalism, that is that this is an ideological battle, not just confined to geography, it's happening in the minds of these young men and women, frankly, who are being recruited because they think there's going to be glory and death, glory in martyr dom. the president is right, i thought it was powerful the speech he gave in riyadh where he was exhorting the muslim leaders in their mosques to

. >> it's interesting, it isn't sarah huckabee sanders in the dark or misinformed or didn't have all the facts. it was the vice president of the united states, kelly an conway, sean spicer. they all had their marching orders, talking points, they just weren't true. >> they were not true. >> you have somebody from the podium talking to reporters clearly thought out, had it on a piece of paper, this is what happened and it didn't happen that way. nobody shared it with her. she was going to go out and talk to the american public, frorget us. >> the vice president. >> the vice president had the same talking points. we have to believe the vice president knew that the president was unhappy with comey. i have to believe he was not in the dark on this, i don't think so. they went out there and gave the talking points about how this was rod rosenstein and now it turns out the president threw everyone under the bus, as is his want often. and said, i wanted to do it all along. i don't know if he meant to do that today with lester holt but he sure did. >> some people suggested these two ideas are not mutually exclusive, yes, the president had a long term deci

kelly saying that the numerous leaks are borderline treasonous. here with the reaction from the american senate jacek killough, john solomon, good to see you all. sarahou guys keep unraveling the layers of the onion here. you had a very big story last week, i just mentioned with newt gingrich, will listing all of the leaks. what is new and how bad is it? >> i think it is very significant. general kelley, secretary kelly brought up a good point. when you think of the manchester bombing, you think of the leaks out to "the new york times." showing there was a secondary trigger on the bond that actually gave way information that there was a large network working here in manchester, one of the most important issues that people do not realize is that while there is an ongoing investigation between the united states, great britain, and our intelligence allies, giveaway information to al qaeda, to al qaeda, to isis, so as soon as that story broke, people started to scramble amber on the run. this is why these leaks are so dangerous. they are so narrow. if you are thinking of it in a bigger case like i've reported on, those stories are significant, because th

sarah? yep, that's mine. don't just bank. bank human™. >>> now that a fugitive drunk driver is back in custody, we're learning how police tracked him down. kenneth kellysed a deadly accident, then skipped his sentencing hearing. our prince george's county bureau chief is live outside the courthouse now in upper marlboro, where many are asking authorities how they tracked him down. tracee? >> the sheriff's office is saying they believe they got him just in time. they have reason to b they say at the end of the day they arrested him due to good police work. kenneth kelley is back behind bars after a weekend on the run. >> this is good community policing. you know, not in the conventional sort of way. but they were out there, trying to stir up information. >> reporter: a prince george's county sheriff's office said it was a tip that led to kelley's arrest. he was found at a hotel on allentown road in suitland. >> the deputies came up with a series of tips that led to good investigation, and ultimately the arrest. >> reporter: kelley had been out to $100,000 bond after pleading guilty to five counts of negligent manslaughter. he admitted being drunk behin

kelly: good point. the president has defended his idea by stating there's an incredible level of hostility if you will from reporters toward his press secretary, sean spicer and his deputy, press secretary, sarah huckabee sanders. based on his assertion that the relationship is hostile and is our, how would you describe the relationship between the press corps and the president? >> i think it's probably not actually any better. i would say that i've never seen a press corps really always on fabulous terms with the press secretary. it was the nature of the relationship is always going to be one that can be respectful but often adversarial in the interest in upholding the first amendment. the problems arise for trump and his team when there is not consistent answers for big breaking news items, call me being a great example of that. as someone who worked for a governor, works for janitorsnneg and making sure your communication team have the right message consistently from the start alleviates a lot of the issues that he had this week that led him to say he get read of the press briefings. kelly: ashley, let's be clear here. he's not the first president to have a somewhat described herself as bei

sean spicer, sarah huckabee, mike pence, all in the same category, in the kellyanne conway, not credible, proved as a liar, made a fool. also, note to cnn, but you've got to stop putting kelly ann on the air. it's politics porn. you're just getting your little ratings crack, but it's disgusting. there's nothing that she brings to the table that's honest. your hosts know it. your hosts look pained when they interview her because they know they're just doing politics porn. they're not doing news. we need to stick to the news. that brings us to my next point, who is it in the white house that can be trusted? who can be trusted to give a statement, to explain where we stand in this administration, to explain this that this presidency isn't falling down on a house of cards with lies written on them? this is a bad situation, and the people in the white house are making it worse by being trump's stooges. donny deutsch, what am i saying? >> the guy i see is the accidental dictator. he never thought he was in office, now he's in office. when you contextualize this, the press the enemy, let's blow up the ninth circuit. the senate and congress, i don't know if that works anymore, alte
