she tried to recruit two people, including an undercover fbi agent.in the first case, a man she claimed to be her husband, but whom she had never met, she allegedly set him up with brothers who could get him contacts and get him into turkey. the man ultimately changed his mind, he stayed in macedonia instead, and that really seemed to annoy her. but in all of this, the initial red flags is that she was very active on facebook, created about a half dozen accounts and in each it appears she was becoming more and more radicalized. fbi agents were able to get a search warrant for the facebook accounts and found a history of isis writings, listing her work as jihad, posting images of black isis flags, as well as promoting allah and the fight. now, an undercover agent met with kauffman several times, expressing his interest in jihad and she said she could find someone who was a legitimate facilitator to get him to syria. when confronted in her office by fbi agents, she denied the activity, she was charged with lying and also providing materials to support t

asked if the undercover agent ever expressed any support for isis, kaufman responded by saying, huh-uh that's the totality of the crime in the complaint, and a defense attorney who handled high profile national security cases says that if kaufman had the able to connect people with isis the feds would have been for the more serious charge of material support of terrorism and they did not do that. >> catherine, thank you very minute. >>> a husband and wife in their 80s escape without a scratch after small plane crashed into their living room. eight inches from where they were sleeping. it happened early this morning near midway airport in chicago. the pilot reported engine problems right after takeoff but could not get the plane back to the away in time. the investigators say the pilot died in the crash. nobody else was onboard. >> lea gabrielle is her. she has flown planes from f-18s to cessnas. sounds like they got an all clear. thank goodness. >> the happened right in the mid ol' a neighborhood and in the middle of the night. trying to land onsite. runway 31, and airport official tel
