Years. Acosta was floridas u. S. Attorney when he backed the plea deal, and now he serves as President Trumps labor secretary and he, secretary acosta tweeted this today. The crimes committed by epstein are horrific, i am pleased that new york prosecutors are moving forward with the case based on new evidence. Federal prosecutors insisted that epstein go to jail, register as a sex offender and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator. The new york prosecution offers an important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice. Moments ago, the president praised acosta. Go back and look at past decisions, i wish they would have done it a different way. What i do know, hes been a great secretary of labor. I feel badly for secretary acosta. I know him as being someone that works so hard. I feel badly about that situation. President trumps comments came shortly after members of the Democratic Party here was chuck schumer. I am calling on secretary acosta to resign. Its impossible for anyone to have confidence in secretary acostas ability to lead the department of labor. If he refuses to resign, President Trump should fire him. Instead of prosecuting a predator and serial sex trafficker of children, acosta chose to let him off easy. This is not acceptable. Lets have a conversation, cnn political commentator ana navarro is a political strategist. And criminal fraud prosecutor of the Southern District of new york. Just starting with you, starting with secretary acostas three tweets and his mentions of new evidence. When you first read those what did you think. I was stunned. It implies the evidence has changed. Its a slap in the face to the victims, that evidence was for acosta ten years ago, nothing about the nature of that evidence has changed. A lot of the Southern District of new yorks case is based on that prior conduct. So its a little stunning. The fact that you heard President Trump twice there saying he feels badly for him. I know that going back, you would have supported acostas eventual appointment. When did the tide change for you, and what did you think should happen for him . The tide changed for me when i first read the story of the miami herald. And i cant say enough about my community paper, Julie Kay Brown the journalist, it is an argument of how important Investigative Journalism is, particularly right now, and why its important to support newspapers and local papers. I knew acosta as dean of the fiu law school, a prestigious decision. I have asked people here who supported him, who supported him when he was fiu law school dean. Practically nobody in miami, nobody in south florida knew about his role in cutting this sweetheart deal with epstein and in frankly covering this up, and, you know, i think its important for people to look at the date here. This all happened in 2008. Remember, acosta was a political appointee of the bush white house. It was an election year, he was going to need a new job, because there was going to be a new press den the. I think he was trying to curry favor with jeffrey epstein, had a dream team of powerful attorneys. And i think, you know, acosta was figuring out, where am i going to land after this political stint is over. It is disgusting, it is appalling it is new information for so many of us in south florida. I hope somebody asks marco rubio if he knew about this when he appointed acosta. Where are the republicans on this . We mentioned a number of democrats have come out, where are the members of your party. They shouldnt be. Republican or democratic issue, it shouldnt be about whether acosta was friendly with trump or clinton or both. It should be about right and wrong, and the victims of this sexual predator were denied justice, this was a travesty of justice, this was a they broke the law when they cut a deal without even informing the victim much youre talking about 80 plus under age girls in palm beach florida. Its so disgusting, and every member of the senate and house who has children, who has daughters should ask themselves what would i want to be happening right now if those had been my daughters. Thats the litmus test, not about republican or democrat. About morality and right and wrong. Let me just add to this, because this is for you. Let me list out some of the items we found by investigators in epsteins mansion here. Nude photos of girls in a lock safe, sex toys, additionally, the mansion had a life sized female doll hanging from the chandelier. When anna mentions how the miami herald referred to it as a deal of the lifetime 10, 11 years ago, what does it say to you about the deal he got back then. People low on the totem poll who dont have any culpability. Finding this new material in the Southern District of the new york search warrant. That he had and kept in his safe, c. D. s marked girls nude. Or miscellaneous, thats how he viewed these women. I asked before, this 13 page indictment is very thin. Do you think that means theres more coming down the pike. These next few days for secretary acosta are crucial and for President Trump his decision will likely hinge upon the News Coverage that he will 2k3we9. How loud these calls are for acostas resignation. Your reaction that secretary acostas fate is now in the hands of News Coverage and not based upon the evidence that existed years ago. Or the investigation by the miami herald or what was found in his home, News Coverage. It shouldnt be News Coverage. Were waiting for trump to act, that also should not be the measuring stick, i Hope Congress takes action on this, i Hope Congress does a full investigation. I Hope Congress calls some of these epstein victims to testify, i hope they call some of the cops who were involved. I urge our viewers to go and read perversion of justice at the miami herald, which was her initial series, where she got the stories of these victims, where she got some of the investigators, some of the Police Investigators who were involved back then to talk about how shocked they were. He had stature, he had prestige. It turns out that for some reason we dont know, he cut an unjustifiable, unforgivable deal with a sex predator who was free to go ahead and do more of his crimes. I cannot be in charge of the labor department. He cannot be in charge of supervising sex traffic willing, and coming down on sex traffickers, thats under the labor department. Do you feel comfortable with that is the question that people need to ask the Congress People and their senators, do you feel comfortable with that . As a floridian i dont. And i think my senators and my Congress People who supported him for this decision as did i before knowing all this, need to speak out and speak out loudly. These 80 girls were also floridians. They deserve to be treated like human beings. Not who were cut out of a deal. A corrupt greedy deal by alex acosta. Thank you very much for your expertise. Appreciate both of you very much. Right now, the trump team is back in federal court with another attempt at killing obamacare, we will hear from one of the people trying to save it, the attorney general of california. Plus, the president may be known for his thin skin, thats just a new level of his insults. New details about the toddler who died falling from the cruise ship.

Were back to watching cnn, im brooke baldwin. Oral arguments are under way in the Affordable Care act. This time the stakes are extremely high. This requires nearly all americans to get Health Insurance or pay a penalty. Just to fully understand whats being challenged today. Let me take you back to that Supreme Court decision in 2012. They have ruled that the Obama Health Care reform law is constitutional, based on the authority that congress has to impose a tax. Fast forward to after President Trump won the election, and many months of failed attempts to repeal and replace, republicans tried another way with their 2017 tax cut bill. We did the largest tax cut in our history. I hate to say this, but we essentially repealed obamacare, because we got rid of the individual mandate which was terrible. And soon after a new challenge from republican states, they argued if the new penalty was reduced to zero dollars its no longer a constitutional tax. The challenge invalidates obamacare in its entirety. And that is what is being appealed today. Hes leading a coalition of democrats appealing this, mr. Attorney general, a pleasure, sir. Thanks for vgz me. Prospective for everyone tuning in, this is one of the most conservative Appellate Courts in the country, the if is this, if the challenge is upheld, meaning if obamacare would go away, what would your reaction be and what would you do about it. Same as its been, keep fighting, i was in congress fighting to enact the Affordable Care act in 2010. Were going to fight in 2019 to make sure its still around. Its been a godsend to hundreds of millions of americans who can take their child to a hospital, not worry about going bankrupt. We have to fight for this, because it is part of our life now, its become indispensable to be able to have access, Affordable Access to health care. Many would argue that the eventual fight will land at the u. S. Supreme court. And, you know, if its appealed to those justices, you know, with a majority conservative justices why do you feel this way. A majority of conservative justices upheld the Affordable Care act already. And it should be no different. What republicans did in 2017 is, you showed in your report was well done, simply zero out the tax on the individual mandate, they did not repeal the Affordable Care act. They didnt repeal the individual mandate, all they did was zero out the dollar amount that people pay. We still have millions of people who are using the Affordable Care act. Why should it all of a sudden stop . We think the case is very strong that not only was the Supreme Court right a few years ago, that it was con 12i tugsal, its become an indispensable part of peoples lives. If this does end up at the Supreme Court and it gets tied up, it will play a significant role in the 2020 president ial election, this could be trumps worst nightmare, my question to you is, how will democrats need to readdress their own Health Care Policy . Democrats as can you tell from the discussions and debates from the president ial nomination as they go forward are all about making sure that every american has access to health care, because its a right, not a privilege. We will fight whether through the afford bible care act or any other way to make sure that every american can take their son or daughter to a hospital or a doctor. It doesnt make sense in the most industrialized modern country in the world to not have access to basic health care for our kids and families. Well continuing to fight, the Affordable Care act wasnt the last stop, it was just a major step in getting americans access to the care that they deserved. Speaking of those candidates speaking out, let me play these comments recently from joe biden. The party now wants to get rid of the aca. Medicare for all cannot exist with the aca. It cannot. Thats why im opposed to any republican thatten watts to dismantle it, or any democrat that wants to dismantle it. To dismantle it makes no sense to me. Starting over would be i think a sin. A sin he says. You see how divided am dids are on this very issue, some would argue the entire country is divided on this, would you support a medicare for all model . Not only do i support a medicare for all model, but i look at seniors in america who what is it, some 60 million plus seniors in america, say keep your fingers off my medicare, what were fighting for is what we should all be fighting for. Everyone should have access to Affordable Health care, we give it to our seniors, we should give it to all americans. Medicare for all is something we should strive for and go beyond. So bidens wrong . Medicare should be for all. We should have access to health care for all period. This is america. Why other countries can do it, but we cant, it doesnt make sense. All right. Mr. Attorney general, thank you very much for joining me. Thanks, brooke. Thank you. Disturbing details today in this arizona murder, a black teenager is dead, a white man is accused.

Were following a disturbing story out of arizona. This man here fatally stabbed a 17yearold boy at a Convenience Store cutting the teens throat, because he claimed the rap music the boy was playing made him feel unsafe. Witnesses say 27yearold Michael Paul Adams walked up behind the teen and stabbed him in the neck. Those witnesses also told police the victim did nothing. Nothing to provoke the attack. Ryan young is covering this for us today. Why . How . Still tough for this family. Sad, sickening, really just unreal. A 17yearold killed in a gruesome way for no reason at all. He walked inside the store, Michael Adamson walked up with a pocket knife stabbed him before slitting his throat. Witnesses say there was no argument, no warning signs. The teen was listening to rap music and he believed he was a threat to the community so he took action. An attorney for the suspect also said that he just had been released from jail. As you can imagine for this family and the friends, that doesnt compute. The young man had gone to the store to get something to drink. Theyre hoping to see if anything happens in terms of hate crimes. This man wanted to be an entr entreprene entrepreneur. He had two jobs and really enjoyed listening to wrap music and enjoyed list
