Epstein, who has been linked to powerful figures and president s, was scheduled to be tried next year on sex trafficking charges involving underage girls. Kenneth prag is here with more. Good morning. Reporter epsteins lawyers say theyre not happy with the medical examiners findings and they plan to have their own investigation. Jeffrey epstein used a bedsheet attached to the top of a bunk bed, according to the new york times. The times found that epstein hanged himself with enough force to break several bones in his neck. That disputes conspiracy the theories that the financier was murdered to protect people of whom he may have had incriminating information. Dr. Barbara sampson said in a statement that she determined epstein killed himself after careful review of all investigative evidence. Epstein was found unresponsive in his new york jail cell 6 30 a. M. Last saturday, where he was being held pending a new trial on federal charges of sex trafficking. Prosecutors say he sexually abused girls as young as 14.

Still a lot of questions of how this happened. And you feel for a lot of women who never got closure. Thank you, kenneth. Now to the whirlwind week on wall street that stoked fears in the economy. President trump is talking low unemployment while he pushes his candidacy in 2020, but others warn about another recession taking shape. Paula reid is with the president as he prepares to wrap up a week at his golf club in bedminster, new jersey. Paula, good morning. Reporter good morning. The president plans to spend some time here at his new jersey golf club, but when he gets back, he faces the possibility of a growing recession in 2020. This comes after the president was trying to make a Strong Economy his primary pitch for reelection. Wall street appeared to recover by friday after a tumultuous week. And President Trump insists he is the only one who can keep it that way. You have no choice but to vote for me because your 401 k s down the tubes. Everything will be down the tubes. Reporter at a rally on thursday, the president put a positive spin on the markets. We had the best week weve ever had. But as the dow went down 700 points, the wor day this year, he had conversations with hiead of three of the banks. Still, the president still exhumed confidence. But even some conservative economists are concerned. If you look at the effect of some of these policies, most notably the administrations trade policy, that is going to slow the economy, and some economists think that might even tip the economy into recession. Reporter something nearly 70 of cfos said they fear will happen by the end of next year, according to a new survey by duke university. And amid the growing global concerns, President Trump huddled in new jersey friday with his National Security team to discuss his plan to fulfill a promised troop withdrawal from afghanistan. The white house didnt say if the president brought up other International Issues in that meeting, including his controversial proposal to buy greenland. The president returns to washingon late tomorrow. Jeff . Paula, thank you very much. Sahlil kkapor joins us from bloomberg news. Good morning. Good morning. If the economy is strong, a president is generally reelected or elected. If the economy is not strong, they are not. So its interesting to see how theyre adjusting their campaign to a shifting economy. Its true that the economy is important to a president , and especially this president because his approval numbers are weak, and the economy is the only Thing Holding him in the low 40s. If that fails, he could fall out. Think about it, over the last century the only three president s who have been elected and lost a reelection have done so because of the recession. The white house announcing it would delay the tariffs on china to december 15. What are sources telling you about that . Many of the advisers want him to abandon the tariffs entirely. They believe its americans and businesses that end up paying the costs, but he did get on top of things with china, and if he doesnt do that, theres other prices to pay. How are the democrats using this right now . There is a bit of a schizophrenic message from the democrats. There are some that are pro trade, want to cut more trade deals like the tpp. Then there are others, like elizabeth warren, that wants to move in a more strict direction than the president. So theres a split in the party. Lets talk about how gun debate may have shifted. The house has passed two bills, mostly to strengthen background checks early this year. When they come back from the recess, they plan to pass more legislation on this front. The Republican Senate has not moov moved and there is no indication that they will. There has been discussion on that, the president has shown interest in doing something, but they will only move if there is a clear and emphatic push by the president. The president has indicated that hes open to at least universal background checks. Right, but the republicans also know that after parkland, the president raised the rightful age to 21 and then backed away, so theyre looking at that and saying, will we be left at the altar again . The nra has also been pretty quiet up to this point. The internal issues that theyve been having, is that having an impact on maybe the role theyre playing in d. C. Or how much weight theyre carrying there . To a point, but the bigger issue is that the politics of gun control in this country have changed very rapidly, and about 30 stricter gun laws and this is in the suburbs. Mass shooting after mass shooting after mass shooting have turned collegeeducated voters, soccer moms more toward gun control. And this brings consternation about can they hold onto the suburbs if they dont do something about this issue . Travel in one of the major airports is expected to be back to normal this morning. On friday tens of thousands of passengers were delayed when a computer used by the customs and Border Protection agency failed. They were forced to manually process travelers who waited hours in long lines to clear customs. I hate to say it, but in todays climate, my first thought was that somebody hacked our systems, to be honest. The cause of the outage is under investigation, but it is not thought to be suspicious. Portland, oregon is on high alert with a right wing rally and antifascist protesters expected in the city today. Local police are getting help from state and federal agencies to replay the violence that had broken out in similar rallies in the city in the past. Jonathan is in portland. Jonathan, what are you saying . Reporter good morning, michelle. So far things are quiet. This is the park where that rally is expected today. Several extremist groups are expected to show up. No one has applied for any type of permit. Police learned about this protest from monitoring social media, and what they ever read, they say, there is concern for possible violence. The serenity of Downtown Portland is about to get tested yet again. Stores are already closing on the eve th the eve that Something Like this will happen again. The left and right say they will converge on downtown. The almost 1,000member police force will be on duty. We recognize that he see even these events can cause alarm, fear and even anxiety for some people in our community. Reporter last rally, windows were shattered downtown. Thousands were arrested. Its sad because a lot of people that come here to protest dont live here and share the values i believe portland stands for. Reporter as happened in the past, police arent sure what groups will show up, what they will be protesting about, and if theyre only coming to make trouble. We ever sehave seen a shift past few weeks of the rhetoric and the separation of those that want to engage in free speech and those that intend to participate in acts of violence. Reporter and police are warning the public to stay away from this area. Several roads, as you can imagine, will be closed down. And we are learning more than a dozen Law Enforcement agencies will be brought here to assist local police. Dana, that includes the fbi. Anyou. I bris ofhe southeast wie rain and flooding to come. On friday people in tampa, florida were forced to use canoes to get around neighborhoods where streets had turned into streams. Flood warnings are in effect for some area rivers. Meteorologist jeff biradelli is here with more on the weather. Good morning, everybody. Were going to start with the heat. Once again were talking about a big heat dome that is likely to break dozens of records over the next several days, with heat indices, feels like temperatures between 100 and 110 degrees in some areas. Its going to expand and grow over the next several days. The worst of it is monday and tuesday. Look at these feelslike temperatures, 90 degrees in d. C. , 105 in memphis, 106 in shreveport. On the north side of this heat dome, as we typically see, Severe Weather will be the rule, especially around sunset, especially where you see the bulls eye there. Had he ever heavy rain, big hail and damaging winds. This is the system thats producesing lots of flooding around the tampa bay area. Organized showers and thunderstorms. There is a chance it could become a tropical depression the next couple days as it moves across the seaboard to the carolinas. Three inches of flooding rain, in some places up to ten inches. And alaska, once again a recordbreaking heat dome across alaska. Its going to be in the 70s this weekend. Anchorage this summer, an amazing record. Weve seen 30 days above 70 degrees. The old record is 15 days, so weve doubled that already and that was just back in 2015. The arctic is changing very fast because of climate change. Jeff . Okay, jeff, thank you very much.

Peter fonda may be best remembered for his role in the 1969 counterculture classic easy rider. He died friday from complications of lung cancer. He was 79 years old. Easy rider was to 60s cinema what woodstock was to that generation of music. The counterculture classic about two bikers on a drugfueled road trip through the southwest starred peter fonda, who also won an oscar nomination for cowriting the film. Before he climbed on that red, white and blue motorbike, fonda was already wellknown. He was the son of screen legend henry fonda and son of jane fonda. He starred alongside sandra dee. Like many in the generation, fonda began to reject the establishment, growing his hair long and experimenting with drugs. He remembered an incident where he accidentally shot himself. He told john lennon, quote, i know what its like to be dead. John lennon used that in the beatl beatles song he said she said. He would earn a nomination for ewys gold. In a statement his sister jane said of his brother, im very sad. He was my sweethearted baby brother, the talker of the family. Ive had a beautiful alone time these last few days. He went out laughing. Interesting side note here, actually. So Dennis Hopper and peter fonda had to be convinced to put jack nickel son in easy rider, right . Then when peter fonda was up against jack nickholson, fonda won the honor. Time to show you other stories making news this morning and the news hits home. Nola.
