Relationship with a doctor an ophthalmologist. And some lavish trips according to the government that the doctor provided to senator menendez along with campaign donations. According to the government the senator got these gifts and these donations and in exchange for that he tried to influence things in the government on behalf of the doctor. That includes a dispute that the doctor had with the medicaid administrator because he was being accused of fraud. And then secondly he was also pushing a contract that the doctor had a company that had a contract down in the dominican republic. And so this is the focus of the investigation by the Justice Department. We expect that these charges are going to come in the next couple of weeks. This is something thats been a Long Time Coming at the Justice Department. I want to bring in cnns chief political analyst Gloria Borger now. Give us a little more insight into senator menendez. We know he is a pretty high ranking democrat. Yeah. He is a high ranking democrat. Was head of Foreign Relations committee when democrats held control. What evans reporting is outlining here is the classic charge of quid pro quo which is that you have a large contributor whos been very generous to you over the years. Dont forget they had to pay back 58,000 in plane trips in 2010 for failing to disclose them. So this is somebody he was very close to. And the quid pro quo comes with allegations that he intervened with federal medicare administrators who alleged his friend had been overbilling them. I think this is one of those classic cases. The Justice Department obviously feels that given the testimony theyve now gotten that they can proceed with these charges. Menendez has been fighting this for some time. And hes been an outspoken critic of president obama. Hes been a polarizing figure within the party, right . Yeah. Hes been critical of the president on cuba for example very strongly. When he changed his cuba policy. Given within the party. But i wouldnt say his criticism of obama is directly linked. I also wonder what its going to mean for the Democratic Party in general. We have the Hillary Clinton stuff this week and now this new information. How big of a shakeup is that party going through right now . Yeah. I think you have to look at those things through very separate lenses. You know menendez is while a powerful person on capitol hill is not running for the presidency. You cannot equate using private email with the sort of charges that the justice might be bringing against menendez. Again, Hillary Clinton is in the president ial spotlight. And thats a very different level of scrutiny when youre a president ial candidate and i think Hillary Clinton has got to expect a lot more scrutiny. And by the way, shes had a lifetime of scrutiny as you know. For decades. I think with senator menendez its a very different story. And i know you mentioned that the charges could come some time in the next couple of weeks or so but this goes back to 2010 as you say. So what do you know about why now . Well one reason is because these some of these allegations are nearing the end of their statute of limitations. The prosecutors, the investigators of the fbi have five years to bring charges like this. And so theyre nearing the end of that time. So they have to act pretty quickly. I shoulded add ana that weve reached out to senator menendezs office. They are not yet providing a comment, but we should also say that he has very strenuously denied that hes done anything wrong previously. Weve talked to him before. Obviously these are allegations that have dogged him for many many years. And he has repeatedly denied he did anything wrong. As gloria mentioned, he paid back the 58,000, the price of the trips he took with dr. Meljen. He has denied wrong doing on this and other things. If you remember there were some allegations that he had hired prostitutes while he was down in the dominican republic. And also he had improperly intervened on behalf of a couple of wealthy bankers from ecuador. And so that also was being investigated by the fbi. Were told that both of those matters are not going to be part of this case thats going to be brought forward by the Justice Department in the next couple of weeks. All right. Evan perez, Gloria Borger thank you to both of you. President obama is expected to address todays strong jobs numbers live in town hall. He could also address, of course the Justice Departments scathing report this week accusing police in ferguson missouri of racial bias and discrimination including racist emails about president obama that were sent by Police Officers. Well take you there live to his town hall in just a moment as soon as he starts speaking. But first, lets go to ferguson. Two days a a Justice Department slammed the police there for discriminating against africanamericans and policing for profit. President obama says fergusons situation isnt common but that its also not the only case. Just saw the ferguson report come out. I dont think that is typical of what happens across the country, but its not an isolated incident. I think that there are circumstances in which trust between communities and Law Enforcement have broken down. So how does ferguson move forward . The mayor says the city must do better but fergusons police chief as youll see in just a moment hes not saying very much. Even after repeated calls for his resignation. We tried to get some answers. Dont you think you should have known some of the things that came out . The racist emails . The numbers. Were you just trying to build people out of money instead of telling your department to go ticket them . Thank you. Ill be in touch. Ive talked to everyone. Ive given you literally every opportunity. Weve been talking for days and days and days. All we want is an answer from you. Im going to analyze the report and take action where necessary. Does that mean youre going to stay around . Im going to take action where nez. Joining me now to discuss, montega simmons. Also with us professor eugene odonnell. The president says this is not an isolated incident. How widespread do you think this problem is . Well one group that weve worked with quite a bit, malcolm x grassroots has done their own research and while not being totally inclusive meaning not even including data from st. Louis, they registered that incidents like what happened to Michael Brown jr. Take place on average every 28 hours. Meaning every 28 hours in that area . Not just in that area. This was a national survey. And it was not all inclusive. Meaning just from the cities they were able to survey. They showed these incidents to be rampant. Meaning they were happening literally backtoback. So this is a crisis. And when youre talking about these incidents specifically i want to make sure were not mincing words here. Are you talking about cops shooting africanamericans . Im talking about extra judicial killings which means either a Police Officer or a Security Guard or a vigilante, someone who is in or perceives themselves to be in some form of authority is killing a black or brown person without due process. Someone is being fired upon or violence is being exerted by in this case were talking about place and the state without due process. So you feel like this is huge issue all around the country. Eugene you were a prosecutors and nypd officer. How many other ferguson type situations do you think are out there . I think the root of the ferguson issue is a political issue. But at the same time i think Police Departments every Police Department should take a hard look at ferguson and should take a hard look at itself. This is an agency that was enforcing jaywalking 90 of the people. This is an agency that was doing illegal pedestrian stops and documenting them. So you could see them. You really have to say some of these Police Departments, you know the management mirrors the kind of management youd see in radio shack. Problem, what problem . Now, i dont want to absolve the political establishment. Theyre at the root of this. Ferguson was affiliated to having a reasonable tax system. The legislature should be held to account for that. But Police Departments really have to look at in the mirror on this. And frankly we have failing schools. We have failing businesses and we have some Police Departments that are failed. Camden new jersey shut down its Police Department. Maybe this has to happen in some of these cases. When your agency is completely disdained by the community, where do you look then . You have to look inside, it seems to me. Montague what do you think needs to take place to reestablish trust . I agree with what your other guest just said. In some cases these departments may need to be shut down. We need not just Police Reform but we need transformation. Ferguson is among a number of Police Departments throughout the county. And for those of us who live here we know they are not the worst out there. And so lets say ferguson is shut down you go a mile to the north and youre dealing with another jurisdiction thats inflicting the same kind of problems and violence. So were talking about not just reform. Youre part of this dont shoot coalition. Have you had a chance to read the Justice Departments findings on Michael Browns death as they pertain to Darren Wilson . Ive had a glance, yes. Has it changed your view of Darren Wilson at all, the fact he was cleared in this incident . Not at all. Unfortunately the findings were expected. Meaning that usually in these cases is what weve seen is Law Enforcement and the voice of the officers involved are given much heavier weight than witnesses. Even though weve seen countless witnesses come forward and testify that his hands were up theyre still not going against the findings. Even if his hands werent up in this case he was not he should not even have been executed in the way he was. Obviously the whole catch phrase hands up dont shoot takes on a much more symbolic meaning moving forward. Because it has been a point, a flash point in this conversation about Race Relations and Law Enforcement involvement with different communities throughout the country, really. Eugene do you think there may have been a rush to judgment in this case . Im sitting in a city where thousands of young africanamerican kids have been murdered in the last few years. A Police Officer, africanamerican Police Officer was murdered yesterday. And we got a great mayor here in the city trying to fix this but lets not deny the reality that police in america generally are pretty restrained. Big city Police Departments, many of them. We saw the lapd an agency where the cops pull up theyre subject to a full frontal assault. There is pretty clear evidence individuals were trying to take the officer ess gun and yt there is dismantling of that. The police using deadly force, thats automatically the reality is Police Departments all over the country, every single day, dont shoot people they could shoot because they exercise great restraint. Thats the reality. And the other reality, again and this is a really important point. Ferguson is about the police being ridiculously cavalier about it. But the disengagement of the police. And this is the problem in the minority community. Theyre always being asked to have policing that is indiscriminate where officers are going around willynilly enforcing rules like they were in ferguson or the cops are feckless. They get there an hour late when theyre called. They need to be proactive where they need to be. No political there should be no politics where theres silence in the face of cities we have thousands of kids being killed. Thats unacceptable. And we need Police Strategies in those places to address those issues. All right. Gentlemen, thanks to both of you for sharing your thoughts and providing some insight on the conversation. We do appreciate it. Moments from now president obama could address this report on ferguson in addition to todays stellar jobs report. So stay here for that. Plus investigators just minutes ago talking about the plane crash involving actor Harrison Ford. What happened in that cockpit . You just got a big bump in miles.

Thats the way i look at life. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Real transformations can happen as much inside a person as out.

The february report is crushing expectations. The nations Unemployment Rate fell to a sevenyear low. Right now president obama is actually speaking about this at a town hall in columbia, South Carolina. Lets join the conversation now. This morning we learned that our economy created nearly 300,000 new jobs last month. The Unemployment Rate went down. Unemployment rate ticked down to 5. 5 which is the lowest its been since the spring of 2008. Our businesses have now added more than 200,000 jobs a month for the past year. And we have not seen a streak like that in 37 years. Since jimmy carter was president. All told over the past five years, our businesses have created nearly 12 million new jobs. And whats more the Unemployment Rate for africanamericans is actually falling faster than the overall Unemployment Rate which makes sense because it went up faster too, during the recession. But its still too high. The Unemployment Rate across the country and here in South Carolina is still higher than we want. Which means weve got more work to do. And weve got to make sure those are good jobs that pay a living wage and have benefits with them. So we cant let up now. Weve got to do everything we can to keep okay. So that again is president obama in South Carolina right now at a town hall talking about the economy. Hes also expected to talk about Race Relations given the ferguson report and also this weekend of course is the 50th anniversary of the march on selma and bloody sunday. And as the president mentioned, the economy is really in an upswing. I do want to take a quick look at the markets right
