Guerrero jr. Hold on. This was a long, entertaining night. Welcome, this is early start. Im dave briggs. Welcome back. Im just back from europe and back in the swing. What did i miss . A couple of things. Nothing much. Im christine romans. The 900th day of the trump presidency. 4 a. M. In new york, 4 p. M. In hong kong and 9 a. M. This morning in london. The sex trafficking indictment of a politically connected multimillionaire raising questions. The first of what could be many calls from Alexander Acosta to resign came overnight from House Speaker nancy pelosi. Quote, secretary acosta must step down. As u. S. Attorney he engaged in an unconscionable agreement with Jeffrey Epstein, kept secret from courageous young victims preventing them from seeking justice. Acosta negotiated a plea deal that sentenced epstein to 13 months in county jail while allowing him to work from his office six days a week, 12 hours a day. Epstein had been facing life in prison. No comment from republican senator ben sass but he did say this about epstein. This guy victimized dozens, probably scores of little girls and the sentence he got was pathetic and every mom and dad in america, frankly not just moms and dads, but anybody with a heart should be heart broken by what happened to the girls. Government ought to be doing a lot more of this, going after bastards like this guy. As a republican or a democrat going to be implicated . Every person should stand on the side of the little girls. The indictment contains troubling details. More from miguel marquez. Reporter there are more sexual allegations again against Jeffrey Epstein whos been charged with sex trafficking and conspira conspiracy. New york prosecutors, theyre looking for more. If you are a victim of this man, Jeffrey Epstein, we want to hear from you. Reporter prosecutors allege Jeffrey Epstein lured 14yearold girls to his home to massage him. Hes pleaded not guilty. In addition to finding hundreds, possibly if not thousands of nude girls, investigators found compact discs with handwritten labels including the following young name plus name, miscellaneous nudes one and girls, girl pics nude. Now epstein is already a registered sects offender after agreeing to a plea deal with florida prosecutors in 2008. The miami herald helped prompt the new charges. Found out that acosta signed off on a deal giving immunity to any potential cocon spiritors allowing him to pay restitution to victims, register as a sex offender and plead guilty to two state charges. Epstein is also connected to the president. He was photographed with trump in 1997 and 2000 at the president s maralago estate also in palm beach, florida. In a 2002 new York Magazine epstein profile trump said of him, ive known jeff for 15 years, terrific guy. Hes a lot of fun to be with. It is said he likes beautiful women as much as i do and many of them are on the younger side. Just this past sunday the president was asked if he had any comment about epstein and he said, i dont know about it. Christine, dave . Miguel, thank you for that. Jeffrey epstein also has connections to bill clinton. A clinton spokesman said the former president took a total of four trips on epsteins private jet in 2002 and 2003 including stops in connection with the clinton foundation. Clinton knows nothing about epsteins terrible crimes. A plan to let you see drug prices was nixed. It ruled the agency overstepped its authority. The judge says the responsibility of driving down drug prices lies with congress. Putting prices in ads was the center piece of the white house effort to bring down drug prices but experts say it could be misleading because most people with insurance pay far less. Joe biden says he opposes the medicare for all plan being promoted by many of his democratic rivals. The former Vice President was a top polling democrat who does not support a Single Payer Health insurance. That kind of system could not could exist with the Affordable Care act. I think they think they have the right answer but, look, starting over would be, i think, a sin. If you are satisfied with your employerbased health care, you have to give it up. Look, we provide a medicare option. Thats what barack and i talked about in the beginning. We couldnt get it. Now things are changed. Meantime bidens wife jill firing back at Kamala Harris suggesting shes trying imply her husband is a racist. He got into politics because of his commitment to civil rights and then to be elected with barack obama and someone is saying, you know, youre a racist. As soon as i youre not a racist but this all stinks. As soon as i heard those words i thought, uhoh, whats coming next . The American People know joe biden. They know his values. They know what he stands for and they didnt buy it. So biden and harris are locked in a battle to win over black voters. A critical constituency in the nomination process. The relationship between the United States and england is being sorely tested. He said the Trump Administration is dysfunctional and inept. Max foster is live from loss done with the latest. Max, good morning. Reporter the British Government very much standing by their man. Theresa may offering full support to kim derek across the government and the Civil Service i have to say here at the moment. Behind the scenes, a great deal of frustration about the position the president has put the u. K. In and for the special relationship between the two countries. The big question is really about these tweets. Was this an official instruction to the white house and the Trump Administration to regard darroch as a persona grate. His job pretty much becomes almost redundant which is a difficult position to be in. The view is that he was just doing his job. He was asked. Hes paid to give frank assessments of the Trump Administration. Thats all he did. And now theyre in a situation where they cant allow a foreign power to effectively dictate which ambassadors theyre going to deal with. Its a very difficult position. With that, Prime Minister may is on her way out. Not saying very much at the moment it has to be said. Theyre going to inherit this ambassador as an issue ahead of the time. Very complicated situation. Max, thank you. Breaking overnight, hong kong leader carrie lam says the extradition bill is now dead. Anna coren is live in hong kong. Its clearly what the protesters were fighting for. Reporter certainly. They are looking at this as a win, no doubt about it. Christine, they wanted to use the word withdrawal, withdrawal of this very controversial extradition bill. The bill is dead. She went on to say that it was a complete failure on behalf of the government for not selling this extradition bill. This really was a mere offer from the citys chief executive who says its her fault that the people of hong kong feel that the government was doing this. This is something the protesters wanted her to do. She said, resigning, its not a simple task. I need to do better. I need to do a better way that i govern. She was speaking about the protests and whats happening in hong kong and five years ago in the Umbrella Movement of 2014. This goes to the heart of a deeper, more fundamental problem. Take a listen to what carrie la lam had to say earlier. I believe they reflect not only one incident but some fundamental and deep seeded problems in hong kong. We moved on without addressing those fundamental problems but this time i dont think we can continue so ignore those fundamental and deep seeded problems. Reporter christine, this doesnt satisfy the protesters one little bit. They say they are going to continue to protest, to march, to show their dissatisfaction with the government and with carrie lam until she steps down. What she calls fundamental problems, the protesters would say human rights, the ability to have our own democratic processes. Big difference there. Thank you, anna coren.

This decision came after admitting to having a questionable relationship with a staffer. The pentagon is struggling to get people to accept nominations. The government is spending so much more than it brings in. The debt ceiling deadline is fast approaching. A new report says the u. S. Government could default on its debt in early september. Economists had initially forecast the x date would not really be until october or early november. So much sooner than we thought. The u. S. Reached the 22 trillion limit on borrowing already back in march. Since then the Treasury Department has been using what it calls extraordinary measures to pay the bills, but the treasury is taking in a lot less revenue from companies. Remember, they got a big tax cut in 2017 so theres less money going to the government and that has raised the risk of reaching default much sooner. A default would risk the financial markets. Theres not a lot of time for them to act before the august recess. The policy center warned if congress does not address the issue before recess of raising the debt ceiling, they would be facing a reckless risk on the full faith and credit of the United States.

That is some real drama in the courtroom as the family of Kevin Spaceys accuser takes the stand. The judge says he may dismiss the case against the oscar winner. Spaceys accuser invoked the fifth amendment after initially testifying he did not delete anything from the cell phone. The cell phone is central to the case. Spacey has pleaded not guilty to indecent assault and battery. Reporter the issue is the missing cell phone. The accuser in this case says that when kevin spacey allegedly was assaulting him back in 2016 that he had his cell phone, he was texting his girlfriend and there are texts to his girlfriend. The lead investigator for this case, however, testified on monday that the data on the phone had been altered before it was turned over to the police. He also testified that he had been given that cell phone back to the family, specifically the father of the accuser. When the accuser took the stand, he testified that he never deleted anything on that phone. He said that he couldnt remember if he had conversations with his mother about the phone but then admitting that, yes, they did talk about the phone. Next it was the father of the accuser that took the stand. It was so contentious but all in all he said he never deleted anything and he does not remember police returning that phone to him. Finally, the mother of the accuser testified that she only deleted some pictures that she thought were bad, she didnt want herr son to be seen in a poor light. There were just a couple of things that concerned me that i spoke to [ bleep ] about because as a mom when i see my son doing something that i dont think he needs to be doing, i had conversation with him about it. And so it was an important teachable moment. Reporter some allegedly racist comments, drinking pictures and even something that was homophobic. She testified she never deleted texts, she just deleted those pictures. It was at issue today whether this case could even continue. Dave, christine . Jean casarez, thank you.
