Former Trump Campaign chair, Paul Manafort and his business associate, rick gates face a dozen charges. They hid 75 million in after shore accounts, money earned years ago consulting for a russian backed ukrainian leader. There is no evidence that mr. Manafort or the Trump Campaign colluded with the russian government. Reporter a guilty plea by a lesser known Campaign Adviser could be the link investigators were looking for.

Reporter less than a week ago, laura, you remember the president declared opioid abuse a national, Public Health emergency and the robberies are symptoms of that abuse and the addiction to opioids. Remember last month, we found out the bay area definitely is not immune to these robberies. We have seen several last month in danville with another one. The suspect there, they were able to get Surveillance Video and a picture of that. That man is still wanted by police. In this case, the thief jumped over the pharmacy counter at 10 40 last night and threatened the pharmacist with a gun before stealing an opioid based drug. The thief then ran out of the store where we are now in the parking lot, took off on foot. They have not seen him since then. We looked at the data, 91 americans die every day from opioid abuse, five per day in california. Since 1999, the death rate has increased 200 according to the center for disease control. That said, the rate of prescribing the drug, the key indicator dropped a bit thach. That shows california is doing better than most states in the nation.

All three networks are telling us numbers, the numbers they tell congress. Facebook says there were 470 russian accounts pretending to be something else. Twitter 2700 accounts far more than announced. Take a look at the numbers. Facebook found 470 accounts, but they created 80,000 posts, most of them fake news, reaching 126 million facebook users. T thats a lot when you consider 139 million voters voted in the 2016 election. Twitter, two counts linked and google 1,000 videos on youtube.
