I give up hundreds of millions of dollars in deals donald trump going all in on the presidency and saying its costing him millions. But is he as serious as that scowl suggests . A sneak peek from my oneonone interview. Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. Breaking news on the national league. The multimillion dollar manhunt in new york for escaped killers richard matt and david sweat is now on day 20. Youre looking right now at live pictures from inside the courtroom where the arraignment of prison guard gene palmer who was arrested yesterday for aiding in the escape of the two fugitives will take place at any moment now. Theres also some new information on how the prison was run. A former maintenance supervisor at the prison telling cnn the Clinton Correctional Facility used inmates to do plumbing and Electrical Work if the Maintenance Department was shorthanded and if Corrections Officers were understaffed inmates doing these jobs were not always supervised. As evidence seems to be mounting that there were lapses in security at frizz on. Investigators from the new york state Inspector Generals Office at the Clinton Correctional Facility scrutinizing security protester comes. While this is happening, the manhunt for the two men continues. Were learning more from an interview gene palmer gave police. Cnn National CorrespondentAlexander Field is in oulsz head new york. What can you tell us . Reporter gene is filling in some of the details about what happened behind bars telling police he didnt intentionally help the inmates and says whatever assistance he gave them he had no idea it would make their escape easier. Were learning new details on how david sweat and richard matt were aided in their escape. An official close to the investigation tells cnn gene palmer a prison guard, gave at least one of the inmates a screw driver and needlenosed pliers supposedly to help fix electrical breakers in the catwalk area behind their cells so they could use hot plates in those cells to cook. The tools were later found at palmers home after police executed a search warrant. Palmer gave access and supervised matt and sweat while they worked on the breakers taking the tools back at the end of his shift. These are the same cat walks used during the inmates elaborate escape 20 days ago. Hes a man of integrity. Hes fully kwopcooperated with this investigation. He wants these two to be captured. Reporter palmer also accepted paintings from matt and sweat according to court documents. A search of his house by investigators showed he tried to destroy the paintings by burning some in a fire bit and burying others in the woods. In an npr radio interview from 15 years ago, palmer describes life inside the Clinton Correctional Facility as a negative environment. He went on to say that life as a prison guard is as miserable as the lives of the prisoners themselves. With the money they pay you youll go balled have high Blood Pressure become an alcoholic, divorce and kill yourself. Palmer paid the 25,000 bail with a credit card. Joyce mitchell the other prison employee charged in connection with the escape allegedly hut hacksaw blades and drill bits into chunks of hamburger meat. She asked palmer to take the meat to the inmates cell. He did not run the meat through a metal detector a violation of prison policy. He was conned by Joyce Mitchell. She duped him. Looking back on that he cant believe someone would take advantage of him. As convicted killer richard matt turns 49 today, hundreds of Law Enforcement officers are still searching through dense woods around a hunting cabin, the fugitives are believed to burg liesed. Boots and a sock were found inside that cabin. Theres a sock thats been recovered, listed as white and red, and the red could obviously be blood. I do know that a dna profile was from one of the socks. Reporter its been five days since authorities discovered that cabin and the evidence inside. Theyve had no credible leads on the mens whereabouts since then. They have upped the Law Enforcement press on on the ground. Now more than 1100 officers spread out between frederick and clinton counties. They have received 2400 tips. Alexandra, were expecting at any moment the second prison employee to face charges, this is priz an guard gene palmer expecting eergt him, his lawyer or both to show up in the courtroom that viewers are seeing live on the right side of the screen. What can we expect there . Whats going to happen . Reporter we expect he or his lawyer will enter a plea of not guilty. Were learning a lot more about what gene palmer has been able to contribute to this investigation from that interview with state police. Those details just coming in today. He is telling police a little bit more about the culture of the relationship between himself and the two inmates, richard matt and david sweat. He said what he was getting included elaborate paintings and details about the potentially illegal activity of other inmates. He said in exchange for that he was offering assistance the assistance which he said he didnt anticipate would make an escape easier. He said he would provide paint, paint brushes, the hamburger meat key to this case and the access to the electrical box. He was underscoring the point that he believed they needed access to the electrical box to repair a breaker so they could cook in their cells. We know that cooking was one of the privileges on the honor block, jake. Alexandra field in owls head new york thank you very much. Joined by craig cain retired u. S. Marshall of the Regional Task force. In Sacramento Robert Ayers former warden at san quentin prison in california. When the arraignment begins we will bring it to you live. In the meantime lets talk about whats going on. Craig, youre an expert obviously on catching fugitives. How likely do you think it is that matt and sweat or anyone that makes it three weeks without being caught is getting some sort of help on the outside . Ive been saying this all along, jaerk. Whats troubling to me right now is the dna evidence that they found in the cabin. Law enforcement got that tip, i believe it was saturday morning sometime. By the time they arrived and set up a perimeter, so to spook, a couple hours could have passed. But what i havent heard is canine did not pick up any scent. Im not privy to every bit of information thats going on up there. So if this was an elaborate conspiracy and there are other Staff Members involved or outside people could that have been a ploy a ruse . Could one of their cohorts have brought dirty underwear and a sock and a Peanut Butter jar and left it in a cabin and somebody say, oh yeah i seen somebody running from there when they werent ever there and theyre somewhere in idaho right now . Interesting. The investigation is uncovering major lapses inside the prison. Prisoneremployee sex, smuggling of power tools, what seemed like lax rules when it comes to prisoner movement. As a former prison warden have you ever seen anything like this . I dont know that ive seen it to this extent. I think the first thing i want to say is that the vast majority of people who work in our prisons are hard working, honest dedicated people. Its most of them as well as the prison administrators are always on guard and concerned about the occasional employee who crosses the line. I think this is just a stark example of the worst of what can happen when employees do cross the line. I also think it points to the fact that you can build the most secure facility on earth i was also the warden at pelican bay which is a super max prison and we always have to keep in mind that its the employees that are the strongest factor in prison security but they can also be the weakest link. Craig, you seem to sound a little skeptical of the hunt going on right now. Is there anything specifically that you think Law Enforcement should be doing that theyre not or things that they could be doing better . No not at all, jake. Theyre experts at what theyre doing out there. The public has to understand that, you know were not magicians out there. We dont have a magic wand we can wave. This aint like tv or a motion picture. This is real life o people spending a lot of hours combing through woods, dense terrain, bugs what have you. They have to exhaust every lead and they have to feel comfortable that they searched that socalled perimeter to the extent where they have to scale back at some point in time. But thats only when they exhaust every possible lead. Robert p the prison suspected a close relationship between Joyce Mitchell and one or more prisoners, why was she still working there . Wouldnt that be enough to dismiss her . Well its actually a fairly can be a fairly complicated situation. But normally when we have an employee that we suspect is involved with an inmate the first thing youd want to do is take the inmate or inmates and get them out of the situations. Normally in our state we would lock them up in administrative segregation pending that investigation, and you can we would reassign the employee usually to an area that doesnt have inmate contact. All right, craig caine and robert ayers, please stand by. Well take a quick break.

Back to the lead. Im jake tapper. Were about to see a prison guard who allegedly assisted in the escape of two murderers. Expecting the arraignment in court. Well bring that to you live when it happens. Now to our politics lead once day, one decision could have undone a key part of his legacy perhaps his most profound legislative achievement. Instead, today it seems president obama will instead go down in history as the president to put the government in the Health Care Business and keep it there for good. The u. S. Supreme court ruling today that even though the law seemed to many to suggest federal subsidies were only for americans who bought insurance through individual staterun exchanges, the intent of the law was broader than that and everyone who qualifies can get them. Just like that the last time obama care sur viefrd a battering at the Supreme Court, its savior was chief Justice John Roberts whose nomination then senator obama voted against. He did the same again today. Lets get to justice correspondent pamela brown. A big, big victory from president obama. No doubt about it. Resounding victory from president obama who nearly saw these four words, established by the state, wreck his signature ledge laygislative achievement. Chief Justice Roberts taking the lead to save the bill. A broad ruling allowing million ofs people to keep their subsidies. Reporter supporters of the president S Health Care plan celebrating outside the Supreme Court after the justices kept the law intact. Preserving Insurance Coverage for millions of americans and handing the Obama Administration a massive win. Aca is here to stay reporter this marked the second time the conservative chief Justice John Roberts played a role in rescuing obamacare. He joined with Anthony Kennedy and the four liberal justices in the 63 decision writing the majority opinion that upholds federal Health Care Tax subsidies for eligible americans no matter where they live. Roberts says a contentious phrase in the Affordable Care act with the four words established by the state does not change the law as a whole. He wrote, quote, the context and structure of the act compel us to depart from what would otherwise be the most natural reading of the pert meant statutory phrase. The fact that the chief has yet again stepped in to lead the court in upholding the Affordable Care act is a sign i think, of the strength of the administrations arguments that the law is legal. Had obama care opponents won 6. 4 million americans in 34 states would have been at risk for losing key subsidies and potentially their coverage. Chief Justice Roberts argued quote, Congress Passed the Affordable Care act to improve insurance markets, not destroy them. We must interpret the act in the way consist stnt with the former and avoids the latter. Justice anton and scalia said quote, we should start calling this law, scodus care. Hes saying what the chief justice and other justices did is basically rewrite the law because congress was sloppy. He didnt have the argument in that case. There are other challenges in the pipeline right now to obama care but none that have such high stakes as the one today. Its interesting to note that chief Justice Roberts could have ruled more narrowly. That would have given the next administration a chance to interpret the law differently but he didnt leave the door open for that. No, he didnt. Brings bring in cnn senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin. Arian, let me start with you, lots of nasty attacks from the right against bush appointee, chief Justice John Roberts. You have to wonder does he worry about this at all . Does he mind this conservative backlash . Today he sure showed he doesnt care about it at all. You remember back in 2012 when some conservatives wore tshirts that said roberts coward. The other people saying he needs to atone for his sins. He said in todays opinion he doesnt care about that. He said the language might not have been completely clear, but he looked at the intent of the law and upheld it and looked at the way he thought what congress meant. He doesnt seem to be taking a lot of concern about such criticism. Very interesting. Jeffrey toobin the president s director of speech writing, cody keenan he had two speeches written, the one in the rose garden a triumphant one and the second one in the event the Supreme Court ruled against the administration. Keenan has the second one for prosperity the president signed it didnt need this one, brother. You say obamacare may be the first exhibit in the obama president library. Absolutely. When you look at the Obama Presidency which is now about threequarters over and whats the most significant thing he has done . You could say ending the war in iraq. You could say winding down the war in afghanistan, you could talk about the economic recovery. But in terms of what will endure i think the Affordable Care act is now firmly established, and you are talking about millions of people who have health care who wouldnt otherwise have health care. Its there and its going to stay there unless the political branches overturn it. The courts are now effectively out of the story. Its going to be up to republicans in congress and those who may win the presidency to overturn it because the courts have now said were done. Thats right. A lot of republican president ial candidates
