Heres Steve Osunsami. Reporter In Street Camera Video that police in louisville are sharing tonight, there are large buses blocking the view, so its impossible to see what happened before this car pulls up to the entrance at the pga championships. But attorneys for Scottie Scheffler say that the pictures help prove that the champion golfer, behind the wheel, is innocent. My situation will get handled. It was just a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding. Reporter what you do see is scheffler pulling up to the entrance, with Police Detective Bryan Gillis Running after him. There was a fatal accident on the road, and the golfer was trying to make it through traffic for an early start. People are now asking questions about the Detectives Police report, where he says scheffler refused to comply with his directions, and dragged him with his car so badly that parts of his uniform were damaged beyond repair. None of that is seen in either of the two videos police are releasing, that show them arresting the golfer and walking him in handcuffs without incident. Hes going to jail and there aint nothing you can do about it. Reporter police today announced that theyre disciplining Detective Gillis for not having turned on his body camera, which would have answered many questions.

The State Legislature now sending the bill to the republican governor whos expected to sign it into law. 29 yays and 7 nays and the bill has been concurred in. Reporter abortion is already largely banned in louisiana, but this bill would make even possessing the Abortion Pills without a prescription punishable by jail time and hefty fines. Its designed to crackdown on their illegal distribution. These pills can be used for dangerous and harmful acts. Reporter drugs designated as dangerous controlled substances are typically once potential for addiction and abuse. Not Abortion Pills. These medications are used in Emergency Situations for women all the time, and nobody disagrees with that. Reporter Abortion Pills are used in more than half of abortions in the u. S. In louisiana, doctors will now be required to get special licenses to obtain the drugs. I worry there will be some stigma and some, you know, taboo, if the government is saying, this should be controlled. Reporter tonight, the Biden Administration pointing the finger squarely at donald trump, who appointed three of the Supreme Court justices who overturned roe versus wade. Vice president Kamala Harris tweeting, absolutely unconscionable. Lets be clear, donald trump did this. Louisiana is one of 21 states to ban or severely restrict access to abortion since roe was overturned. Trump has taken credit for sparking the change. We broke roe v. Wade, and we did something that nobody thought was possible we gave it back to the states, and the states are working very brilliantly. Reporter david, trump claimed weeks ago hed be releasing his position on the abortion pill, if it should be further restricted, saying that he has strong views on that, but were still waiting on that announcement. David rachel, Senate Democrats launching an investigation into a recent meeting that donald trump held with Oil Executives, and whether trump made any promises to those executives . Reporter yes, and david, sources tell us that the former president told these Oil Executives at maralago that they should donate A Billion Dollars to his campaign, because if he is reelected, he would step up drilling and also roll back a series of environmental regulations. Many of which were put in place during the Biden Administration. Senate democrats are now looking into whether any of those promises amount to a quid pro quo. David . David rachel scott, thank you.

The a. G. Says ticketmaster is hammering fans with all sorts of builtin fees. Ticketing feels, service fee, convenience fees, platinum fees, price master fees. Reporter live nation has been under the microscope since its botched sale of the taylor swift eras tour, when millions were left without tickets. I waited in line for like six hours. Reporter tonight, live nation is responding to the lawsuit, saying it is not a monopoly, and that its Profit Margin last year was only 1. 4 . Instead, the Company Blames Ticket Prices on factors like rising production costs, artist popularity, and Online Ticket scalping.
