Convention. And time is money. A lot of money. Details on the historic auction of an oscar winners watch that shattered all records. But we begin with a look at todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. This news is big. A federal grand jury approving the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller makes his move. There is a lot of people sweating in the next day or so. You are Paul Manafort or if you are Michael Flynn, i would not want to be either of those guys. Are we concerned or terrified about the trumps tweet storm. Could they put someone in handcuffs as soon as monday, that will blow everything out of the watt. Federal investigators will review a multimillion dollar contract with a montana company. It doesnt look like the headquarters for a Energy Company. It is a night of celebration and protest in barcelona after the Catalonia Parliament voted for their independence. High fly ball to right reddick is there and the astros take game three. A hero in houston. Many are stunned that an astros player seemed to make a racial gesture about yu darvish. Acting like that is disrespeckful to people. I know hes remorseful but other than that i dont know a lot. And all that matters. So how does the press treat you . Trick or treat, President Trump inviting children of the White House Press corp to the oval office. Are you going to grow up to be like your parents . Dont answer. On cbs this morning saturday. That is not all the president got done this week. Oh, no, he was very excited about releasing the Jfk Assassination files. And just as republicans suspected, they only raise more questions about hillarys emails. And welcome to the weekend, im Anthony Mason along with alex wagner and we begin with reports of charges in the case involving russias alleged interference in last years president ial election. First reported by cnn and later confirmed by reuters and the wall street journal, the first indictment from Robert Mueller was approved by a federal grand jury and sealed by a federal judge. But it looks like we may have to wait a few days to get all of the details. Eerrol barnett is at the white house. Reporter the president has long described special counsel muellers russia probe as a witch hunt and a coax. But the news that the first indictments are ready to be charged calls into question President Trumps tweet from friday morning in which he claimed, quote, it is now commonly agreed there was no collusion between russia and trump. However, that is not yet the definitive conclusion of the special counsels investigation. In fact, according to reports, a grand jury has approved charges stemming from the probe on friday. Roig is investigating russian collusion during last years election between elements of Trump Campaign and the kremlin but also tasked with looking into any matters that are arise from the investigation. That could clue for example financial crimes. A federal judge has sealed this indictment so it is unclear what these charges are or who they are specifically against. We do know that former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been a folk he is f a foc mueller, paying attention to his links and a party in ukraine. The former National Security adviser Michael Flynn has been under the microscope for money he received from turkish and russian interests. Sources are also quoted as saying any individual or individuals charged as it relates to this indictment could be taken into custody as soon as monday. Anthony. At the white house. Thank you. For more on what might be next in the in the investigation, lets turn to justice reporter paula read. Shes in our washington bureau. Good morning. Good morning. Paula, what are where we here given this news. Well it is not the culmination of the investigation but there is a sense of urgency, filing an indictment on a friday, late in the week, and it seems that the earliest were probably going to hear a name or specific charges are likely monday. Names could leak over the weekend but it is more likely when the courthouse opens on monday that will start the clock ticking on when we find out who was charged and what they were charged with. In terms of the president s tweet, what are we to make of that. You never know what to make of the president s tweets but he has tried to undermine the use of the investigation through the use of his twitter account. I dont know whether you could read into whether or not he knew anything about going on with the grand jury based on tweet. And you heard arrol barnett mention Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn. Ive heard people suggest that the first indictments may be aimed at flipping a possible witness in this case. Absolutely. Again, the grand jury is such a powerful tool for prosecutors. They do this in secret. They can sort of test their case, determine whether or not they have enough evidence to bring charges but it is a low bar. It is probable cause. We are not decideig guilt or innocence and nothing will make them want to accord with an investigation. Do we have any indication that because the first indictment is coming down now that it might be complete by the end of the year. That is a very aggressive time line. Speaking so to sources there is a long time line and investigations take a long time because not only do you have the russia conspiracy collusion, you also have mike flynn to turkey and the Paul Manafort in ukraine and the obstruction of justice and you never know once you start turning over rocks where it could lead so to think it could be done by the end of the year. That is not realistic. Paula read in washington. Thank you. There is another twist in the story about the dossier that triggered the russia investigation. The Washington Free beacon confirmed it hired the firm fusion gps in 2015 to look for damaging information about many of the republican president ial candidates, including donald trump. They say they ended the investigation after trump secured the nomination and the breakoff had nothing to do with the dossier compiled by an ex british spy and it includes explosive allegations about mr. Trump and in uncorroborated and it was revealed that the Clinton Campaign and the campaign continued funding the research. So much political news to break down. Lets take a look at it with gabriel deben debtee with politico. If you are the white house, what do you make of this latest news that mueller has got an indictment . I think the white house doesnt know what to make but they are not thrilled about it because this is the time they need a political victory and all of the news is focused on the russia probe which they had just last week said this is over and it is a witch hunt and fake news and they are trying to get a win on tax reform and it sounds like well get headlines about this all next week. What do you make of the latest turn in the dossier saga, the fact that paul singer and conservatives were involved in the original funding fusion gps which then put out the dossier. How much does that change the president s message. It changes the president s message. The reality is this is not a group protrump in the primary but he tried to tie this to Hillary Clinton and to democrats over the last week and that is muddied the waters as far as the russia investigation goes. Politically speaking. With all of that news over the last 24 hours, that will complicate that message and all of the focus is back on republicans, back on trump and that is not what the white house wants at all. There is renewed interest by republican lawmakers into the fbi investigations of Hillary Clinton emails and her alleged role in the sale of uranium to a russian firm. What could you tell us about this. This is a political game but they are trying to get the focus on Hillary Clinton. But the reality is there are investigations Going Forward on capitol hill, what is unclear is what the time line of any of this is. Democrats are saying this is yet another distraction from russia investigations that is overtaking everything the white house is trying to do but are democrats happy to be talking about Hillary Clinton yet again. Of course not. Gabe, you mentioned tax reform and the stream of things that we have to discuss. What is the future of that legislation . The New York Times makes the point yesterday that republicans could speed through 1,000 page legislation that affects every sector of the u. S. Economy in less than three weeks. Will that happen . Lets be clear. The political will is there among republicans and this really only needs republican buy into the pass the way the senate but will they get republican buy in. Will they get all republicans to buy. That is a big question. And well talk in three weeks and we dont know. There are senators skeptical and with the new news it is hard for the white house to be exerting political pressure. So what i would do is i would watch how the white house is putting pressure on a specific group of senators like rand paul, bob corker and even someone like jeff flake to say are these republicans going to be able to pass this massive legislation. Who do you make of the moderate rebellion within the Republican Party this we are seeing jeff flake of arizona, bob corker in tennessee retire, attacks from former president bush, is that part of the party going to ultimately just have to disappear effect think. I dont know if they will disappear, but this will go out with a fight and were seeing republicans retiring saying this is not the time to run or fun any more. But flake or corker and formez president bush will spend the next 18 months not making the president s life easy and will be loud about it. And doesnt this bring trump support in congress if they are leaving to anthonys point. There is nothing the president likes talking about more than his primary victory in 2016 and this is a great reflection. This is the republican political establishment standing up to the president and now he can say, hey, listen, the establishment doesnt like me but im getting rid of this. Im draining the swamp. The truth is different. But it is an easy message for his base. Gabe, our version of speed dating with political news. Thank you for covering those topics. The white house is denying that political connections led to a contract to restore electricity in puerto rico. The multimillion dollar contract was awarded to a Small Company in whitefish, montana. That is the home town of interior secretary ryan zinke and in a statement he said he had, quote, absolutely nothing to do with this contract. The white house said the decision was made sclus sclusly by puerto rico and they wan into trouble when another driver blocked the road. He is in whitefish montana this morning. David what exactly good morning. We believe that man is related to the ceo of Whitefish Energy and he cut us off and blocked us from leaving and also called the Sheriffs Department and a responding deputy lectured the man as to why he could not block people like that. And the man left. There are about 7200 people who live here in whitefish, montana and one of the best known is ryan zinke. He said he had nothing to do with the Company Getting the contract. The Associated Press reported zinke knows the ceo of whitefish because at one time his son worked for the company. We found what is believed to be the headquarters here in rural montana but it looks like a private residence. That one story wooden house is the home of Whitefish Energy. The tiny Energy Company with only two full time employees surprised many people. When it received a 300 million no bid contract to help rebuild puerto ricos electrical grid. Whitefish has never worked on a project this size. If you look around, were kind of in the middle of nowhere. It is beautiful. But certainly doesnt look like a headquarters for a Energy Company. Im andy neck annski. The ceo said his company has 300 workers on the ground in puerto rico working to fix a crippelled electrical grid after a hurricane devastated puerto rico, 75 of the island is still without power, this. This is a contract determined by the local authorities in puerto rico. On friday Sarah Huckabee sanders tried to distance President Trump from the contract. On the same day the president addressed the issue with interior secretary ryan zinke. He did ask secretary zinke just for clarification purposes and he reiterated once again that we have no role, the federal government in specifically he had no role in that contract. The contract states that the federal Emergency Management agency fema reviewed and proved the agreement but fema said it was not involved and in any language that said it was is inaccurate. The controversy over the contract set off a twitter feud between the mayor of san juan, mar men cruz and the company. She believes the deal should be voided and described the company as inadequate and asked for transparency but whitefish threatened to leave, quiting, we have 44 line men rebuilding power lines in your city and 40 more men just arrived. Do you want us to send them back or keep working . The Company Later apologized. Whitefish said it will fully cooperate with any requests from a Government Agency wanting to know how it got the contact and it is proud of the work it is doing in puerto rico. Anthony, i want to quote you the rates that they are paying to the subcontractors. 319 an hour for a journeyman lineman and 286 an an hour for a meck an mc.
