Reporter the active duty soldier had been held in north korea for more than two months after running from military escorts and into the reclusive kingdom following his detention in south korea on an assault charge. Its not what we normally expect of north korea. I think in the end they interrogated him. They understood the circumstances under which he left, and they thought, we dont want him in the country, and so they let him go. Reporter senior u. S. Officials say private king is in good health and good spirits and is very happy to be on his way home the u. S.

The senator released on 100,000 bail, his wife on 250,000 sources familiar with the matter say the fbi is investigating if Egyptian Intelligence Services played any role in the alleged bribe scheme in an effort to get nonpublic u. S. Government information from menendez, then chair of the Foreign Relations committee. Meanwhile, President Biden still silent on the menendez case while the number two democrat in the senate, dick durbin, added his name to the growing list of democrats calling for menendez to resign Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer today Criticizing Menendez but not calling on him to step down. For senators theres a much, much higher standard, and clearly when you read the indictment, Senator Menendez fell way, way below that standard. And, jonathan, Senator Menendez is going to meet with fellow Senate Democrats tomorrow that will be an interesting meeting. Yeah, lester. Hes expected to meet with those democrats to make his case about why hes not resigning, but the outcry over this alleged bribe scheme involving cash and gold bars continues to grow, lester. Jonathan dienst, thank you. Seven republicans running for president are facing off in a second debate tonight in california, but the man who leads by a wide margin, former president trump, is once again skipping it heres Garrett Haake reporter tonight, the republican frontrunner again ignoring the republican president ial debate. They ought to stop wasting their time reporter donald trump instead campaigning 2,000 miles from the faceoff addressing striking autoworkers in michigan, just one day after President Biden walked a uaw picket line.

Hes running in 2024 on a lot of the same promises he ran on in 2016 and didnt deliver on he said he was going to drain the swamp they didnt drain the swamp at all reporter and with the debate taking place at the reagan president ial library, is this now trumps party . Hes embracing some of the language of the populist right of talk about appeasement on the world stage, drawing back from our commitments to our allies. Reporter can breakout stars from the first debate like nikki haley have a Repeat Performance . You have no Foreign Policy experience, and it shows. Reporter all as Republican Voters grapple with a runaway frontrunner still dividing the party even when he doesnt show up. Im hoping that republicans realize that the trump era is over. If hes convicted and he wins, put the oval office in whatever prison they have him in. And, garrett, ive noticed you also have a watch on some other headlines tonight on a potential Government Shutdown. Thats right, lester. The house and senate are now each working on their own separate plans to avoid a shutdown, but theyve yet to start working together on any kind of combined or bipartisan effort, all of which makes a shutdown this weekend look increasingly likely.
