for more on this let's bring in cnn sports correspondent patrick snell.ick, what more can you tell us about these accusations? >> fred, these are all very, very concerning to hear and to process. it all comes, as you say, with lin speaking out against the spike in racist acts against asian-americans. just to remind our viewers, back in 2012, jeremy lin was the breakout star of the new york knicks. his success dubbed as "lin-san i at sanity" at the time. he said he is not naming or shaming anyone, what good does it do in the situation for someone to be torn down, it doesn't make my community safer or solve any of our long term problems with racism. earlier, lin, who became the first asian-american to win an nba title while playing for the toronto raptors, movingly sharing more on social media about the racism he's experienced on the court. these words are really powerful, fred. take a listen, this is from a facebook post, lin writing, we are tired of being told we don't experience racism. we are tired of being told to keep our heads down and not make troub

the pitcher's hugh darvish and the left hander blake snell. giants big move tommy, miss stella. it's pretty much it yet far, anxiety says. there's a plan behind all this. we're really excited about what we're building internally. and um, you know, we can't change our. land or direction in a reactionary way. we just have to kind of keep making good baseball moves and improving the team and like we talked about earlier with carrie, you know amy toe to get to the playoffs. that continues to be our goal. friday night of the videos. let us check this out in the nba. the warriors rough, but lebron was putting on a show. he's a little close. the hollywood this is your flop of the year. right now. he's a great superstar, so he gets the benefit of the doubt. nobody touched him right there, but he draws a felt but as far as his play, yeah, at age 36 the skill set is there. 28 points, nine rebounds, eight assists. lakers go on to win again, all right. down under australian open. you ever see a serve like that? nick quiroz under handling casual for the ace, right there, maybe a little too c

turn now to tristen snell, who's former assistant attorney general and helped lead the prosecution of by john dean, white house counsel to president nixon and testified against him in the watergate investigation. tristen, first to you. can, what can prosecutors do with this information? >> well, part of the key here, though is that it's not about the taxes. it's about all the stuff that comes with the taxes. specifically the bank records. the "new york times" already got their hands on the taxes. we know a lot about that. the bank records are going to tell exactly where money came in and where it went out. so it's not just about the hush money. it's also about the other things that might be revealed a

blake snell from tampa and yu darvish, while the giants will their big move was signing tommy lost l a. here's the general manager, farhan zaidi, with the up. i guess you'd say the plan. we're really excited about what we're building internally. and, um, you know, we can't change our. line or direction in a reactionary way. we just have to kind of keep making good baseball moves and improving the team and like we talked about earlier with carrie, you know amy t get to the playoffs. that continues to be our goal. all right. good luck with that. turning the basketball what? a saturday night. it would have been. can you imagine? and san francisco warriors hosting cady, the bearded one james harden. and of course, kyrie, brooklyn come to town. there's still covered in town, but nobody's gonna be there packing the stands to see it, but. there's always tv and, of course with the golden state warriors, man. the story has been steph curry, even though they're barely over 500 he has been nothing short of amazing particularly of late. get this in his last eight games. he's averaging 35.3 point

what the snell next we need a running back hard because sunday's run backs -- someone who with k. give us first downs with limited risk i'm looking for a tough workman-like pulverizer who can still break through. nike fleet and sure-footed in any weather. it's a natural for the position. i know the stock seems stalled right now but what does that mean for nike? stalled seems five yards here, eight yards there. then it breaks it wide open like it did last quarter. how about receivers? always difficult who do we have who can make big plays and put a lot of points on the board and have excitement but we really want money our number one guy, we call him our stud receiver, the most reliable in the field who will adapt and get open and catch no kidding like really? am amazon this stock was made for this position you know it will be caught do i really care if andy jassy is on the field rather than jeff bezos? no as long as it has the web services brain it can get into the end zone maybe multiple times just as i expect tyreek to do too. our next receiver sly, tesla you've got that mercuri

possessor snell. >> well, a couple of points, chris. and thank you for mentioning my book.ate response and the right response. what i think was not adequate was the notice to congress. mark warner is right. both the gang of eight, which i used to be part of as ranking member on the intelligence committee, and the foreign policy committees of congress, joe biden would be screaming if he were chairman of that senate foreign relations committee, should have gotten fuller notice. it's also true that congress should do more to replace those authorizations to use military force enacted right after 9/11 that are completely irrelevant to what's going on now. we have done 40 military actions in 19 countries using the 2001 aumf which just applies anyway. i think it was the right thing. and on the malign activity of iran, i never believed that the agreement that was struck by the obama administration prevented us from calling iran on its malign activity. we should still be talking to iran, they should expect that we can walk and chew gum at the same time. hopefully they can do, and th

titties manny machado on their infield, but they picked up right harry hugh darvish and remember blake snellrld. syria's with tampa excellent left hander while the giants biggest move. picking up infielder tommy lost ella, but it is none other than far anxiety talking today and say there is a plan. there's a method behind all this. we're really excited about what we're building internally. and, um, you know, we can't change our. line or direction in a reactionary way. we just have to kind of keep making good baseball moves and improving the team and like we talked about earlier with carrie, you know amy toe to get to the playoffs. that continues to be our goal. you never see said we can't be reactionary or reactive. i know giants fans had a little something about him. they want pro active and i don't think they're going to sit quiet. much longer is the giants languished behind the dodgers for the stand. diego padres. let's talk some basketball now. can you imagine? tomorrow night saturday night? the city at the new arena warriors hosting brooklyn? that means the return of kevin durant, now j

tiger woods gave patrick snell some perspective on the long road back from erin 2018 when he talked about, keeping the injuries in perspective. here he was in 2018. >> i feel blessed, i am lucky. i am lucky. it worked out for me. you know, my back was in a pretty bad spot there and to be able to have a back that is not like what it used to be but still be able to somehow figure this out, to figure out a golf swing and a game built on a fixed point in my back, it has been interesting. hasn't been easy. but i've been very lucky to have a great team around me. they worked so hard to give me a chance and also the supportive from them means all the world to me. >> reporter: tiger woods has been brutally honest about the road back from injury, he indicated he needed help managing pain medication. that's another way we are rooting for him to do well. >> we hope for the best. brian todd, thanks very much. to viewers, thanks for watching. i am wolf blitzer in "the situation room." cnn special coverage of the tiger woods car accident continues right now. >>> outfront, breaking news, tiger woods suf
