Good evening, im Ashley Banfield in for erin burnett tonight, and breaking news outfront tonight, just moments ago, Top Obama Administration officials finished briefing the entire house of representatives on the prisoner swap and the release of u. S. Army Sergeant Bowe bergdahl. Behind closed doors, the Administration Made its case for the trade. One american soldier for five taliban officials. It is a deal that certainly has created a lot of firestorm, a lot of controversy for this administration, and its also raised some concerns from both parties on a number of fronts. Not discluding the proof of life video that helped that Officials Say helped them determine bergdahls life was at risk. The charge that the Obama Administration broke the law when it failed to give congress 30 days notice before releasing those phi taliban officials from guantanamo bay. And the possibility that those officials will return to the terror battlefield. Our dana bash is on capitol hill tonight with all of the details. So theyve just walked out. Brief me, tell me what went on. What did they hear . Reporter listening to a lot of lawmakers, they said they heard a lot of what theyve been hearing from us in the press, which made many of them very unhappy, but i think the one thing that several members said that upset them the most is that these administration briefers said that there were 80 to 90 members of the administration who knew about this swap and nobody in congress did, at least the leadership and on down knew about it. And that made a lot of these lawmakers that we talked to very upset, including the Armed Services chair in the house, buc mckee has been, so that seems to be news, particularly in the context of how frustrated democrats and republicans have been and the idea, as you said, ashley, that many believe the law was broken in not giving congress, never mind 30 days, but any hard notification this swap was happening. Let me give you an example of some of the frustration we heard from lawmakers in a conversation with adam kinzinger, republican from illinois. We heard nothing except continued excuses about why they didnt come to congress. I didnt get a good answer why five high ranking taliban were traded. Sounds like you are . Yeah, yeah, i expected something, but i got nothing. Expected something but got nothing. I should say, as you can imagine, things do tend to get partisan here and this is no exception. I asked one of the lawmakers about the kinds of questions that happened inside this meeting, whether or not there were democrats as frustrated as republicans. It turns out the vast majority of the questions among these house members to the administration briefers were from republicans demanding answers, not just on the fact congress wasnt briefed, but also trying to get more information about the conditions of this swap. Many lawmakers who i talked to afterwards say they simply, again, didnt get anything more than what weve already known in the public. Well thats frustrating. Dana bash live for us on capitol hill, thank you for that. We are also learning new details about Sergeant Bowe bergdahls five years in captivity, as well as his recovery. Bergdahl is telling medical officers that are treating him that he was tortured, that he was beaten, that he was held in a cage. According to new york times, he was held in a socalled shark cage in total darkness, possibly for weeks, even months. Bergdahl, who is now in the midst of his second week of treatment, so far refusing to acknowledge that promotion that he got while he was being held, the promotion to sergeant, though he has started to wear his military uniform. That according to the times. And we also know he has still not spoken to his family. Although Officials Say if he wants to, he is certainly allowed to. Outfront, roy halloms is an American Contractor who was kidnapped in 2004 and spent 304 days in captive. And allen hopewell. Allen, i first want to ask you, with your background and knowing the protocol that bergdahls going through right now, nine days and still no contact with any of his family members. To me this seems exceptional, but i dont have your training. Is it exceptional, or is it normal . In my experience, its quite exceptional. Thank you for having me on, ashley, and ive really never seen anything like that with any of the patients that ive examined before. It would seem to me healthy, again, i dont know your business, but it would seem healthy at some point, at least within a few days, to acknowledge or communicate even if its just mere minutes, with a member of your family. Well, normally it would be. My father was actually a prisoner of war for two years in germany. We have a research group, there were 10,000 prisoners at that one camp, we dont know of a single instance where any of the pows at the first available moment wouldnt contact their families. Of course, in those days you had to be back in the states to write or telephone, but frankly ive never heard of that. Its unusual and raises a question that theres some issue there that he deliberately, or doesnt want to speak to them because, certainly, he would be allowed to if he could. And im going to press that in a moment, but first, roy, youve got insight here, 311 days with no contact with anyone, including your family. What was the first thing you wanted to do when you were rescued . Well, after i was rescued, i wanted to call my family to let them know that i had been rescued and i was okay, and making that phone call was originally delayed because unbeknownst to me, the psychiatrist thought it was better if i waited awhile, but after i complained, within about six hours, i was able to call my family. So, alan, that seems like the natural reaction. What circumstance could exist that would be the legitimate reason for a nineday delay for this young man speaking with his family . As far as the medical team, i cant really think of any reason, again, it would be extremely unusual, so there must be something with bergdahl himself, where hes reluctant to talk to them. And we can only speculate what that is, but, obviously, if youre reluctant to speak to your family, then theres some issue or some difficulty or something that you dont want to say to them or explain to them or have to explain to them. But you dont think this is in some way a protection mechanism for his family . We can only guess the condition that this young man is in. And would it be possible that the medical experts are trying to protect his family from being exposed to that . I doubt that seriously, as the other gentleman said, one of the doctors may want to delay it a little while, but for some reason, but ive never seen anything like that delayed day after day, and i cant think of a particular medical reason for that. Obviously, people have testing to do, but everybody ive ever worked with or evaluated, weve that hasnt been an issue. Theyve contacted their family the first chance that they wanted, and ive been through an attack myself, that was the first thing i wanted to do. Nobody would stop us from doing that. Roy, i want to ask you, a taliban source has told cnn that the treatment of Bowe Bergdahl after there were these reports of torture and the shark cage, et cetera, wasnt quite perhaps what the reports seem to indicate, that instead hed been given fruits and vegetables, that he was allowed to celebrate christmas and easter. Does that sound like the kind of treatment, having been a prisoner yourself, that is realistic . No. That sounds ridiculous. I mean, were talking about a gang here thats holding a human, like i was, and i was held in a cage. The food was terrible. You know, i dont know what kind of food he had, but to come out and say the hostage youre holding has been treated well, thats ridiculous to me. Well, i appreciate both of you and your insight, roy and alan, and i hope we get to talk under different circumstances and hope this young man is able to speak to his family soon for his sake and theirs. Thank you to both of you. Outfront next, the entire house of representatives just briefed moments ago about Sergeant Bowe bergdahls controversial release.

A chilling picture is emerging of the angry couple accused of killing two Las Vegas Police officers and an innocent bystander before killing themselves at a walmart. Authorities say 31yearold jerad miller and his wife amanda may have bragged to their neighbors about their plan to kill and then when it came time to carrying out their deadly plan, they acted alone. We do believe that they acted individually. We certainly believe they are connected to a certain ideology, which is antipolice and antigovernment, but as of right now, we have not been able to find any additional links or any additional suspects. Our Stephanie Elam is outfront live in las vegas. What more are we learning about this awful attack . Reporter its really just brutal, ashley, when you look at the details here, just coldblooded murder around 11 30 in the morning on sunday when this couple, the officers believe they may have walked to their apartment until they got to this restaurant here in las vegas. There were two officers enjoying their lunch break, and then apparently jerad miller, thats the name of the man theyve released, the male suspect in this case, walked in, saw the officers, left, came back with his wife, amanda miller, and behind the head shooting one of the officers at pointblank range and then shooting the other officer in his neck. The two officers that passed away, one 31 years old and another 41. Both were married with Young Children, but after killing them, thats not where they left. Take a listen to what police found on these two officers bodies. Immediately upon the shooting finishing, the suspects pulled the officers out of the booth and on to the ground, where they placed a gadsden flag, which is a dont tread on me flag, on the body of officer beck and threw a swastika on top of his body. Reporter and there were several people around in this restaurant, and also when the couple ran across the street to walmart and began shooting there, that heard the couple yelling that the revolution had begun. When they got into the walmart, jerad reportedly shot a gunshot up into the ceiling, telling everyone to leave, the revolution had begun. At that point there was one man there that tried to take matters into his own hands and try to help out and that is the man thats lost his life, Joseph Wilcox, he was 31 years old. As we look back, the more we are learning about this couple, ashley, we do know they were at the cliven bundy rancher outrage, you may remember that a few weeks ago, when people were saying the government was mistreating the man who wanted to farm his animals on governmentowned property. We learned the ranchers threw this couple out because they said their ideals were too radical. We also know they had a lot of ammunition they brought with them, it was clear they did not plan on leaving out of there. After they were caught in walmart, the wife shot her husband and then she shot herself, ashley. Stephanie, you mention that third victim, Joseph Wilcox, you had a chance to speak to a couple of people who knew him. What did they say . Reporter i was actually able to speak to his sister and also i was able to speak to his friend, who was with joseph in walmart at the time. His name is jeremy tanner, and he was saying he was conflicted, because he knows his friend did have a license to conceal and carry. He, himself, did not but he knew at that moment he was the kind of guy who was going to try to do what he could and he says hes going to remember him as a hero. Take a listen to how he saw that moment. I believe that he diverted their attention from shooting other innocent victims, to scaring them away to where they eventually went and hid and committed their suicide. I wanted to tell him, dont do this, come with me, but i also felt that hes possibly going to be saving some lives and it all happened so quick. I think before i could get any words out to him, i started hearing gunshots and i just wanted to get out. Reporter and they also told me that joseph really believed that guns are not the problem, that people kill people, guns dont kill people, and that he firmly believed that, and that he really thought that he could do some good and help out here. Overall, everyone does see Joseph Wilcox as a hero and he lost his life trying to do that, ashley. Stephanie elam live for us in las vegas. John avlon is a cnn political analyst, also author of wing nuts, and he has written about this incident. Also the editor in chief of the daily beast. You have spent a long time today on the facebook pages of this two. What did you learn . These two are influenced by politics and the echo Chamber Debate you hear, where the federal government is a tyranny, fascism, which is why they put the swastikas and gadsden flag on the Police Officers. These folks were definitely motivated, however unhinged they were as well, by politics, by ideology, and that is the wages of this kind of divisive hatred movement weve seen in america. Hatriot, not patriot. Absolutely. Specifically in the facebook rantings, somebody that does this doesnt deserve to be attached to a political movement, but is there anything that indicated they were violent in. Yes, the answer is yes. If you look at the facebook postings from jerad miller in particular, he talked about standing up to the government, risking his life, being willing to die for a cause. They said at the shooting they wanted to start a revolution and this is the kind of rhetoric you hear a lot on the fringes. If you look at his facebook likes, they are from fringe organizations, militia organizations, to mainstream political candidates, he was a supporter of ron paul, but theres this ugly drum beat of devisiveness, of hate, that america is a fight between freedom and tyranny. They drank from that rhetoric and executed on it. Are we not paying enough attention to this . These folks were not on the hate watch database. These are relatively new recruits to this kind of movement, but it shows the way when unhinged souls have access to weapons and drink deeply to this kind of rhetoric, they can explode, and this was an attempt in their eyes to start a revolution. All those folks that those politics of incitement we see and talk about so much, they have a real cost and this is one example. By killing two innocent guys and a third, all leaving Young Children and families behind. Unbelievable. John, always good to see you, thank you. Wish it were under better circumstances. Still to come, latest on actor Tracy Morgans condition after this weekends deadly car crash. And also video of the moments right after that accident.

Some brand new video obtained by tmz shows the immediate aftermath of the crash that killed one man and injured comedian tracy morgan. Kevin roper, the driver that hit the limo bus morgan was riding in, has been charged with vehicular homicide and assault by auto. Nischelle turner joins me live now. One of the reports that i heard early on, and they run rampant when this stuff happens with a celebrity, was tracy morgan was going to lose his leg. Can you dispel any of this . Thats a good point, because in this social media age we live in, somebody tweets one thing and it spreads like wildfire and people start taking it as gospel and were hearing tonight from Tracy Morgans representative that that is, in fact, completely fabricated. Thank god. He did put out a new statement tonight, and ill read from it, tracy remains in critical, but
