Moment in the 2020 campaign. More on that in a moment, but first, tensions mounting after a deadly Portland Shooting between clashes of Trump Supporters and protesters against police brutality. The New York Times reporting the victim of saturdays shooting was wearing a hat with the ig snsignia, local authorit are still looking for the gunman with assistance now from the fbi and atf. President trump quick to offer public sympathy and support for his followers after the Portland Shooting, but the same president who previously said there were good people on both sides of a neonazi rally in charlottesville has yet to say a good word about Racial Justice protesters including two who were shot and killed in kenosha. The president is again, zeroing in on portlands mayor for things getting out of control. Ted wheeler is forcefully pushing back. Its you who have created the hate and the division. Your campaign of fear is as antidemocratic as anything youve done to create hate and vitriol in our beautiful country. Youve tried to divide us more than any other figure in modern history. And now you want me to stop the violence that you helped create. What America Needs is for you to be stopped. Directly addressing the president. Overnight oregons governor releasing a plan to curb the violence in portland after more than three months. The plan includes help from Police Forces and state police. Local officials renewing their calls for demonstrations in portland to wind down. Overnight, Portland Police declared the protests an unlawful assembly. President trump is pushing ahead with plans to visit kenosha, wisconsin. Hes expected to meet with Law Enforcement and survey damage from the recent protests and thats despite democratic Governor Tony Evers is concerned the visit could do more harm than good. Kenosha county is extending its curf curfew through tuesday in anticipation of the president s visit. Joe biden heads to pittsburgh today, looking to flip the script on the main theme of President Trumps convention. Cnns jessica dean gives us a preview. Reporter later today were going to hear from former Vice President joe biden in remarks that Campaign Aides say will provide a contrast of his vision of leadership, president ial leadership with that of president Donald Trumps, and its going to focus in on a central question which really turns around the trump campaigns attack on him, asking if people are safe in Donald Trumps america. Hes going to be calling out what he says are failures of donald trump as the president especially in this moment. This comes after sunday when he released a statement strongly vehemently condemning the violence in portland. I want to read a bit about that. Shooting in the streets of a Great American city is unacceptable. I condemn this violence unequivocally, i condemn violence of any kind by anyone whether on the left or the right, and i challenge donald trump to do the same. It does not matter if you find the political views of your opponent abhorrent, any loss of life is a tragedy. We also learned that biden and his aides considered going to kenosha, wisconsin, to condemn the violence, but they were concerned, they heard from local officials, some of who were concerned about President Trumps visit, and the Biden Campaign didnt want to be a problem, didnt want to cause additional stress on the community at this time so instead they settled on pennsylvania, which is where we will hear from joe biden later today. Christine and laura. Jessica, thank you so much for that. President trumps director of National Intelligence is defending a move critics say is the latest to undermine election integrity. The top Intelligence Office will no longer brief congress on Election Security in person. There will be written updates. That means no chance to press intel officials on conclusions. Democrats are threatening a subpoena. The decision comes weeks after the Intel Community warned that china, iran, and russia, all of them are trying to interfere in the 2020 election. Why the move toward secrecy. Jeremy diamond at the white house. Over the weekend, we learned that the director of National Intelligence has informed congressional leaders that his office will no longer brief members of congress in person on matters of Election Security, and these questions of foreign interference in the 2020 president ial elections. Now, this is a big change because of course we have seen briefings in the past from the office of the director of National Intelligence, including a series of briefings in july in which i was told at director of national entenls aintelligence officials indicated they would continue to provide inperson briefings. No longer, the director of National Intelligence and the president of the United States suggesting this change is coming because of leaks by members of congress. Director radcliffe brought information into the committee, and the information leaked. Whether it was shifty schiff or somebody else, they leak the information before it gets in, and whats worse, they leaked the wrong information, and he got tired of it. Reporter of course they didnt provide details or evidence to back that up. And democrats responding with wholesale condemnation, calling this an abdication of the director of National Intelligences responsibility and duty to inform congress on the sensitive Intelligence Matters, and of course theres also the broader issue of President Trumps claims about the 2020 election. He has repeatedly claimed falsely, we should note, that there would be widespread voter fraud as a result of mailin ballots, and suggested mailin ballots are vulnerable to foreign interference, and Foreign Countries might seek to take advantage of the system. Thats something u. S. Intelligence official haves said is patently false, but this is another issue members of Congress Wont get the opportunity to press intelligence officials on because these inperson briefings wont be happening. Christine, laura. Jeremy, thank you. Speaking of election interference, the Justice Department kept Robert Mueller on a tight leash as he investigated in 2016. It claims while Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein may have publicly instructed mueller to examine links or coordination between russia and the trump campaign, privately, rosenstein ordered mueller to conduct only a criminal probe. This new recording is only fully illustrating the narrow work that mueller was doing, likely to fuel scrutiny from democrats who say the president s ties to russia have never been fully investigated.

Today the United States will top 6 million coronavirus cases, more than 183,000 americans are dead, more than 2,200 lives lost since we signed off the air on friday. Health experts are now calling for an independent review of all vaccines before theyre allowed on the market. Physicians say an extra review could help rebuild confidence after several government blunders during the pandemic and growing public mistrust of vaccines. Now the fda chief tells the Financial Times the agency could consider emergency use or approval for a vaccine before phase 3 trials are complete. Stephen hahn says the decision will be based on data not politics. Hahn had to apologize just last week for misrepresenting the bch bc benefits of a coronavirus treatment. The Covid Response coordinator at the white house says waiting for a vaccine is the wrong strategy. Dont wait for the vaccine to do the right thing. Do the right thing today because if we do the right thing today, we go into the fall with much fewer cases. Dr. Birx said mitigation efforts should also be used in prooif private settings. New cases in the u. S. Have dropped by about 35 in a month, but the curve is starting to level off. 20 states, many in the upper midwest, are reporting a rise in cases up from 10 states early last week. 36 states are reporting cases on college campuses. Temple university in philadelphia is transitioning to Remote Learning for two weeks after reporting more than a hundred cases there. The university of alabama has recorded more than 1,200 cases since classes resumed on campus two weeks ago, and Northeastern University sent warnings to freshman planning on a party on vietnam, in some cases threatening to withdraw their admissions. Millions of americans are still out of work. Stimulus talks are not moving, and now many furloughed workers are being let go for good. Last week several Major Companies including mgm resorts, bed, bath and beyond, stanley, black and decker all announced layoffs as they reassess damage cause bid coronavirus. The job cuts at mgm start today. Las vegas of course has been crushed by this pandemic. Data shows the number of visitors declined 61 from july of last year. Major airlines are planning thousands of layoffs unless they receive federal funding. Airlines are not allowed to make layoffs or pay cuts because of the c. A. R. E. S act. That money runs out the end of the september. This new wave of layoffs as the economy shows sign of some recovery, economists expect 1. 4 million jobs were added back in august. Many are simply people returning to work from temporary layoffs. If the estimates stand, they bring the total number of recovered jobs to 10. 8 million. Thats about half of what was shed in march and april. Really important. Half of those jobs lost in the huge jobs purge have come back. Half of them are still there. You say it all the time but i think its worth underscoring, we cant normalize this amount of jobless. And you know, its also leading to serious food insecurity. We have seen those lines around food banks all over the country. These are the issues that are really affecting peoples daily lives. Absolutely. 10 unemployment, were above 10 unemployment. Thats not healthy, its not good for the fabric of society. I think so much of the emotion you see around the country, i think you could draw a line under that that just the insecurity, the economic insecurity, really, is the basis of so much of this too.
