Prate that may become. Authorities are asking the public to remain individual lent. Thanks for all that background. There are new developments on the prison worker who helped the convicts escape. She was scrutinized for a prior relationship. Alexandra field is live outside the prison with that part of the story. What do we know . Reporter good morning, this is a big development. It helps us to understand why investigators zeroed in on Joyce Mitchell after they escaped from prison. We are learning there was a previous investigation into reports of an alleged relationship between Joyce Mitchell and one of the two men who escaped. They say there was no evidence that would necessarily support the existence of a relationship. As a result of that investigation, david sweat was removed from the tailor shop where Joyce Mitchell worked. Mitchell told authorities richard matt made her feel special. Mitchells phone was used to contact matts associates. They feel she planned to drive the get away car and changed her mind at the last minute. Shes been working with authorities, providing new information. She has not been charged, fwu District Attorney said she could face felony charges including accessory to escape. She hasnt retained an attorney. But, john, her family has come publicly to her defense. 95 of what is being said about Joyce Mitchell is simply not true. Alexandra field out there for us. We want to get the latest on the investigation. Joining us now, the man in the middle of it all, andrew wiley. He is heading up the criminal investigation. Mr. District attorney thank you for being with us. 7 02 in the morning, eastern time. Give us the latest on this manhunt. Good morning. First off, as you can see, we have continued Law Enforcement involved. Locally, we have all of our agencies new York State Police the Sheriffs Department we are all a tight knit Law Enforcement unit here. I work very closely with them. What we have developing right now, we are continuing with the bloodhound bring the two men back into custody and proceed from there. As z it stands right now, do dogs still have the scent . Are you still following the trail, do you believe . They are. I have to be updated in about an hour on more information on that. Its my understanding the dogs were still working the scent last night and we are going to continue to pursue that today. Mr. District attorney the times union of albany has a report out this morning that says Joyce Mitchell the prison worker who has a connection to one or both escapees. The newspaper reports it was she who gave them, she provided the tools they used to break out of the prison provided them with power tools. Can you confirm this report . I cannot confirm that report. There is some information that she provided some form of equipment or tools, but not power tools. Im not privy to that information, so im not sure where that information is coming from. But, there is there is information as far as contraband she did provide to matt and sweat. Can you tell us what kind of contraband she did provide . With the ongoing investigation, we are still collecting a lot of evidence. I would rather not provide the specifics of that right now because there are other issues that we are dealing with relative to that and as part of our investigation, we just dont provide that information. But she did give them something. We should be able to get it to you later. We will follow up with that. Describe the level of cooperation she is giving your office right now. Well she continues to cooperate and continues to come in and speak with us. Each day, we are learning a little bit more information as to her involvement in this case and how she developed a relationship with the two men and eventually you know we came to last saturday where its the date they make their decision to escape and, of course as we all know now, Joyce Mitchell ends up in the hospital and is not there to assist the two individuals. You say shes coming in providing information . Does she have a lawyer . She walks in and starts talking . She has. I cant speak for Miss Mitchell but she may feel some responsibility and guilt for her involvement and she wants to help that situation or help herself out in her situation. No lawyer right now . No lawyer right now. As of now, have you considered pressing charges against her . What charges could she face . She could face conspiracy for escape and she could be dealing with providing prison contraband. No matter what level she provides will she still get in trouble for that no matter how much she cooperates . Um yes, its my intention, at the conclusion of our proceedings. Shes aware that theres charges that are obviously going to be filed or can be filed against her. She continues to cooperate. We see this every day in multifacet investigations. So its just another aspect of this case. They are reporting over the last day, she had been investigated internally for having some kind of relationship or whatever her nature of that relationship was, but at least one of these prisoners beforehand, but she was clear. They decided not to do discipline on her. Is that surprising to you she had been investigated yet there was no job status change . Its not surprising to me. If we look at this in the element of criminal investigation, we will investigate a case. Charges will come forth. On the initial face of it look at it and say this person needs to be dealt with in an appropriate manner. Once all the issues come in it has to be looked at in a different light. I cant speak for the department of corrections and their internal you know office as far as how they handled that. They made the determination, it wasnt supported by evidence for further investigation against her. I was going to say, i think we need to get into the aspect of i mean we are talking Joyce Mitchell quite a bit here. My primary concern is getting sweat and matt back in custody. I couldnt agree with that more. Lets talk about that and end on that point. How close do you think you are . Do you think it wraps up today . Well i hope its wrapped up today. I hope the scent the dogs picked up two nights ago, you know is what we are looking at. This could have been something that you know occurred earlier in the week. We are hoping that it was two nights ago and they are closing in on the two men now. Andrew wiley, we know you will get more information and a briefing next hour. Thank you for checking in with us. We appreciate it sir. Thank you. If you have information on the where abouts of these inmates call 8003360102 or call 911, they will connect you where you need to go. Be on the lookout and be safe. Ana . We continue to follow the developments. Another story involves a cleveland judge ruling there is more evidence to charge the Police Officers in the death of tamir rice. It hasnt happened yet. It goes back to november when the 12yearold was gunned down at a rec center where he was playing with a pellet gun. Lets get to Martin Savidge live in ohio this morning. Martin martin . Reporter good morning. A judge said there was enough probable cause to charge the Police Officers in the death of 12yearold tamir rice. This is nonbinding. The judge recommended charges. For instance for Timothy Loehman loehmann he said murder manslaughter reckless homicide and negligent homicide. However, that may be construed as a victory for the backers of tamir rice. What they wanted when they filed this law was the arrest of the officers. That has nod happened and wont because he doesnt have the authority to do that. That power rests in the hands of the prosecutors. It goes back to where it always has been. I spoke to the attorney of Timothy Loehmann. He says its made them look bad and no grand jury decided if they will be charged. Here is what he told me. I think his life will never be the same. He is a young man, wanted to be a police officer, is a police officer. And depending on who you talk to everybody has a different version of facts. The only facts i would rely are on the Sheriffs Department. Assassination by innuendo. Any one of us would suffer under those conditions. Reporter he says nobody suffered more than tamir rice and his family over the tragedy that has occurred but, there needs to be a Legal Process and rests with a grand jury. Alisyn. Thank you.

It is judgment day for president obamas free trade deal and likely to be a nail biter. The house will vote on whether to give fast track. Some republicans and dims are against this deal. Joining us this morning is California Republican congressman tom, who is in favor of the deal. Good morning, congressman. Good morning. So many of your colleagues in congress say they dont like this deal. They think it will cost american jobs. Why do you like it . Well the trade Promotion Authority is nothing new, nothing exotic. Its the way we negotiated deals since the 1930s. The problem is it latched several years ago. Since then the country has been shut out of foreign markets. We havent been able to get trade agreements because anything they agree to will be unraveled by congress. Thats why this is so important. Trade means prosperity opening up foreign markets means higher wages, more jobs for american workers, opening up our nations markets means more Consumer Choices and lower prices. Let me get specific in terms of some of the complaints. Some critics say it will hurt america by hurting its exports. Let me read to you what senator Jeff Sessions has to say about this. The legislation, like trade deals past opens our markets to lower cost imports while they keep them restricted to our exports. The legislation ignores the nontariff barriers resulting in jobs to our competitors. You need trade agreements to lower the barriers. Tpa makes that possible. Without it we are not going to get the lower barriers. The nations we have trading agreements with we have a trade surplus with. Those industries in america that are open to foreign markets have 18 higher wages than those that are limited to domestic markets. Trade benefits everybody. Whether its between two people or two nations, when theres a Free Exchange of goods, both benefit or the trade doesnt take place. Another complaint is its been complicated with so many vote brokering deals theres lots of things that people want that might be stuff in it that has nothing to do with trade. For instance theres things about Climate Change things about immigration, expanding markets for fish, seafood and shellfish. I know you believe there should be a link to this. I think you are confusing the process of bringing agreements to congress which is what is being voted upon today with the individual trade agreements that will be negotiated over the next three to six years under the terms of this trade Promotion Authority. I think you are referring to the transpacific partnership, which is the first of what we hope is the first of many trade agreements brought to congress. Because of the tpa, when they are brought to congress they have to meet 150 separate conditions brought to congress in the tpa. If they have met all the conditions then the agreements will be in print for 60 days so the nation can have a big debate over whether they meet the nations needs and congress will vote it up or down. Thanks for explaining that. Whats going to happen today given the complexity of all of this. Everyone says this is going to be a nail biter. Is this going to pass . Again, i cant predict the future. Trade is essential to this nations prosperity. The trade Promotion Authority is essential to trade. I think there are enough members of congress who are concerned about these issues to support restoring to the president the negotiating authorities we have extended to every president since the 1930s. We will be watching closely to see what happens. Congress thank you for being on new day. Thanks for having me. Back to ana.
