We turn to the new video released from louisville, after that confrontation between the worlds number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, and a Police Officer directing traffic around a deadly accident there. Hes abcs Steve Osunsami. Reporter In Street Camera video that Louisville Police 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 it was a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding. Reporter what you do see is scheffler pulling up to the entrance with Police DetectiveBryan 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. We understand the seriousness of the failure to capture this interaction, which is why our officer has received corrective action for this policy violation. Reporter but police say they still arent dropping the charges against the golfer. Hes still facing possible jail time for felony assault, reckless driving, and other charges. Everything that is out there supports exactly what scottie has said from the start. Scottie scheffler didnt do anything wrong. Were not interested in settling the case. We will either try it or itll be dismissed. Reporter scheffler was playing at a tournament in texas today. His people say that even witnesses on the road say that he was treated unfairly. For now, he still has a Court Appearance on june 3rd, where hes expected to plead not guilty. David . David Steve Osunsami reporting in tonight. Thank you, steve. We turn now to the major new headline involving women and Abortion Rights in this country. Tonight, the Louisiana Legislature has passed a first of its kind bill classifying two Abortion Pills as dangerous controlled substances. Possessing the drugs without a prescription could lead to jail time. Heres rachel scott. Reporter tonight, louisiana poised to become the first state in the nation to classify two Abortion Pills as dangerous controlled substances. 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 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 crack down on their illegal distribution. These pills can be used for dangerous and harmful acts. Reporter drugs designated as dangerous controlled substances are typically ones with potential for addiction and abuse. Not Abortion Pills. These medications are used in emergent 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 that there will be some stigma and some, you know, some 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, whether it should be further restricted, saying that he has strong views on that, but were still waiting on that announcement. David rachel, while we have you, the other headline involving the race for president. 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 those Oil Executives at maralago that they should donate A Billion Dollars to his campaign, because if he were to be reelected, he would step up drilling and roll back a series of environmental protections, many of which were put in place during the Biden Administration. Senate democrats are now looking into whether that amounts to a quid pro quo. David . David rachel scott, thank you. We turn now to the Justice Department filing an antitrust lawsuit to break up the Parent Company of ticketmaster, accusing live nation and ticketmaster of monopolizing the concert industry, driving up Ticket Prices for americans across this country. Youll remember the taylor swift concert tickets, fans so upset. Tonight, the doj says live nation drives up prices, and the doj listing the ways they believe live nation does this. Heres our Chief Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas now. Reporter tonight, in a major move that could transform the live concert industry, the Department Of Justice is suing live nation, the owner of ticketmaster, claiming the company is a monopoly that has crushed competition and driven up Ticket Prices. It is time to break up live nation ticketmaster. The American People are ready for it. Reporter in a sweeping lawsuit joined by nearly 30 states, the doj accuses the Concert Giant of maintaining its Market Dominance through illegal tactics like pressuring artists to use its promotion services, retaliating against venues that work with rivals, and Locking Concert Venues into exclusive ticketing contracts. The a. G. Says ticketmaster is hammering fans with all sorts of builtin fees. Ticketing fees, service fees, 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 high fees and Website Crashes left millions of fans 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 BlamesTicket Prices on factors like rising production costs, artist popularity, and Online Ticket scalping. But taylor swift fan joe, who is suing live nation over that ticket sale meltdown, hopes the governments lawsuit in the end will mean more protections for concertgoers. We are not here to just hand over our wallets. Right now, ticketmaster is controlling what the fans are able to do. Reporter doj officials are being extremely aggressive. They say the only way to encourage more competition and to Lower Consumer cost is to break the company up. David . David Pierre Thomas, our thanks to you.
