it was the end of january when casino mogul sheldon adelson and goldman sachs backed out. tonight...the group save oakland sports is dealing with yet another setback. chris dobbins, save oakland sports: "it's disheartening. we thought it was good when sheldon adelson and goldman sachs backed out but now that bank of america is there, it's not good, but do they have enough time to get it all squared away before the vote in what, three weeks?"

and i want to thank sheldon and richard. both have been such leaders on the general issue of sunlight, in terms of where all these -- where these millions of dollars and very wealthy special interest people are placing their money and right here is a case in point. now, let's look at how judge gorsuch got to this point. he was recommended for the federal bench by a hard right special interest billionaire. then he was hand picked for the supreme court by the right-wing special interest-laden heritage foundation and federalist society. now, millions of dollars in undisclosed special interest donations are being used to prop up his nomination. americans deserve to know who is funding this effort to get judge gorsuch on the highest bench in the land, especially ive funders are pushing it because they believe he will vote their way. he chose to distance himself from these groups when he was asked question after question by my colleagues on the judiciary committee, and he refused to answer them, raising the suspicion further that

he had deadline of yesterday from a judiciary subcommittee to respond to lindsey graham and sheldon whitehouse. >> apparently, the fbi has contacted my staff that they will be at some date in the future providing us an answer to this in a classified manner. we gave the director until today to answer that question and all i can say is i still don't have the answers to those questions. we are going to get an answer to whether or not the trump campaign was surveilled. was warrant requested or one issued? i hope to be able to answer the question is there an active investigation on the criminal side of the trump campaign regarding ties to russia. >> we need an answer to that question. as chairman gray mentioned today, they have offered us a classified answer to that question in a week or so and i guess we should hear them out. but for the life of me, i can't

is is an issue which has overwhelming public support, and so what sheldon is talking about, what jeff is talking about are issues that are now agreed upon by the vast majority of the american people. president trump didn't issue an executive order. he issued a declaration of war on americans' climate leadership and our clean energy future. this executive order isn't about energy security. it is about climate denial. it is the wholesale dismantling of every policy and rule that president obama put on the books to cut carbon pollution and address climate change. this executive order is one massive giveaway to big oil and coal cooperations at the expense of decades of progress on climate change, clean energy and public health protections. president trump last week released a budget that ends federal research and development funding for 21st century innovative energy technologies and now he wants to send us back to the 19th century of energy policy, energy technology and energy science. that's the trump administration's formula on climate change -- deny, delay, defund and that would be a

lindsey graham of south carolina and sheldon whitehouse of rhode island.meeting appears to have been thrown together quickly. i talked to dianne feinstein and she was unclear whether or not it's happening. she said we have to be very careful as we address this because there might be a criminal investigation. only certain types of things we can talk about. that's one of the questions that people are looking at here. whether or not there's an active criminal investigation into the potential of hacks and also wiretaps and so forth. another thing that they're looking at is their -- the incidental capture of communication in some form. the chair of the house intelligence committee, devin nunes, said earlier today, there was no evidence of a wiretap. what happened, shep, they put out these bread -- they call them fisa warrants. that's an abbreviation for the courts that have high levels to listen to phone calls and soth to. were they incidentally picking up this information when they were listening to other people? that's the question. >> shepard: chad, apprecia

we are fighting this judge because of the reasons that sheldon and dick outlined. let me tell you something. if right now already with this type of nominee chosen by this group, if organ a change the rules, they will change it again. >> if they use the nuclear option. >> let's hope they don't. >> have they said they're going to use it. >> no. there are number grumbling about this. there is nothing that says they have to change the rules if he doesn't get 60, and the logic, the irresistible logic is, if the nominee doesn't get 60, you change the nominee, not the rules. >> ahead. >> what's your arguments the republican. >> it's the same argument we used on ourselves. this is too important a position. it should get bipartisan buy-in. >> a nominee for the supreme court should not be approved by a razor thin majority. this is the highest court in the land, a lifetime apartment. the supreme court is different, and it should require consensus of more than 60 votes, a bipartisan consensus before someone is put on the court. >> every judge of the last four met a 60 vote bar

police crime scene unit went to work quickly after responding to the bluffs apartments in the area of sheldonve about 6:30 last night. well, search teams spent most of the night looking for the suspect that the victim did describe. the victim told police the suspect approached her when she was walking towards her apartment building. he had a gun, demanded money and forced her to her apartment. when they arrived, luckily another adult was home and scared off the suspect who then fled on foot. well, police think that this is the same man who targeted women getting out of cars in their apartment complexes sexually assaulted them in their apartments and also at some point had them drive to atms forcing them to get cash out. well, those assaults happened february 13th at the top of the hill apartments in north wilmington and on february 19th at the arundel apartments in pike creek. well, last night at last night's scene, people there reacted. >> we just found out that it was the kidnapper who has been terrorizing the area so pretty scary that my girlfriend and i live here and it could have been he

lindsey graham and democratic senator sheldon whitehouse have asked the fbi director, james comey, to hand over warrant applications in court orders related to wiretaps of president donald trump, the campaign or trump tower. >> if there is no warrant, there's something we need to know. if there was a warrant, we need to understand the issue. it's something serious and i'm willing to get to the bottom of it. >> a spokesman for former president barrack obama called the accusations false. neither mr. trump nor his administration offered any proof to substantiate his claim. the wiretapping allegations are getting a lot of attention on social media, and i feel like i'm going insane, where are these fools getting their info insisting trump is right about wiretapping? it is everywhere and it was tweeted, if intel agencies introduced wiretapping it was because there were russian agents there. we want your take on this. log on to any of our wusa9 social media pages to join the conversation. >>> new at noon, investigators in montgomery county search for missing guns after police said several pe
