Americas news headquarters. I am arthel neville. The democratic memo attempt to vindicate the Justice Department and fbi. Sene acted appropriately. Congressman, adam schiff, town Democratic House Intelligence Committee weighingin earlier today. I cannot go beyond what the fbi said that with the release of the public. But i can tell you this, the republicans have taken issue with the fact that the fbi include information about George Papadopoulos in the warrant. That information did disclose that the russians had communicated with papadopoulos. Someone occupied the same position of Foreign Policy advisor in the trump campaign. But they had dirt on Hillary Clinton they wanted a relationship and they previewed the dissemination of that information. Your support can see and they can place in real time at the time, that the fbi appeared before the fisa corporate it was directly relevant to whether they were doing the same thing with carter page. Molly is live at the white house with more from the administration. And they dont think that this does much to refute the republicans account of events. The president has voiced particular frustration with adam schiff. He just spoke there. Hears what the president said and how the congressman responded. All you do is you see this adam schiff, he has a meeting and leaves the meeting any cause of reporters and that all of a sudden they had news and youre not supposed to do that. It is probably illegal to do it. He will have a Committee Meeting and he will lead all sorts of information. You know he is a bad guy. But certainly the minimum was nothing. Got to be one of the bad guys i guess. With the president is referring to i think we really aggravated him is when his son came to testify before the committee, i asked him about conversations he had with the president where the president was on the aircraft and they concocted this false statement about the meeting at trump tower with the russians. And he refused to answer the questions. Claiming attorneyclient privilege. Quincy says they acted appropriately in fbi and did not mislead the fisa court. The president says this does not clear up any of the lingering questions. Related to the fisa court brought up by the republicans memo and the president goes on to say that it does not show evidence of collusion with russia during the 2016 election. Molly, 7 news and north korea. We are hearing new talks possibly with the us . As has happened many times before, north korea via Diplomatic Communications channels to south korea has let the us know they might be interested talks to the white house offered a reaction this morning saying quote we will see if pyongyang message today that is willing to hold talks represents the first steps along the talks of denuclearization. In the meantime the United States and the world must continue to make clear that north Koreas Nuclear and Missile Program are a dead end. The statement also says that the us and south korea and the International Community broadly agree that denuclearization must be the result of any dialogue with north korea. Molly hindenburg, thank you. Noted White House Correspondent cohost of good to see you. You have the same set of claims that the democrats and republicans on the Intelligence Committee, they hold completely contrasting and continuous views over this . What does this mean Going Forward . Is really disappointing and it really shows what a mess this whole thing has become. Unlike the senate, would you see the two sides are working together. The house Intelligence Committee, the republicans and democrats have really kind of gone down as well partisanship. They are not really working together. These memos come across as a campaign document. It is not very disappointing. Certainly there are things to learn from these memos but the fact that how much it has become a campaign, it is disconcerting for everyone in america. And the democratic memo, what really sticks out to you . To me i think you point out some important things. That we did not see in the republican memo. It says that yes, the memo said that there were some politically highly motivated people who were behind this. It says that republican judges supported this. It says that the controversial dossier was not the only piece of information. At the same time, they are also questioning on the other side. They did not say that the clinton or clinton and the dnc had a role in this. Could the fbi have been more clear about that . Should they have been more clear about those kind of things . Look look at one of the points. Early today you have devin nunes and adam schiff firing at each other. On separate networks, not together. Lets listen. It should scare people that you have a Political Party in this country actually saying, dont worry american public, it is okay. We do this all the time. We will dig up dirt on our opponent. Get promotions, get it from the bricks and taken to the fbi and open an investigation into another campaign. Thats with the democratic memo says to request this is what adam schiff indirectly says about that. Christopher steele did not know who was paying clear who the client was, was caned and so was the fbi properly reported is what they suspected. What Christopher Steele may have suspected. And they mastered appropriately. That is what they are supposed to do. So how do we try to see that there is a connection between both of those claims . It is so difficult to do. For people who are in the middle of this, working day today it is hard to do that. Because the information is not available to the public. At the same time it is hard to trust we have two leading members and the sin Committee Fighting at each other. Basically saying Different Things about this same material. It really comes down to a question. Who do you want to trust and who do you want to align with . If you are a democrat he believed that this information was credibly brought. If youre a republican, you feel like nothing fbi abuse of powers and went beyond what should have. Whats really fascinating is how this has changed the game in washington. In the difference that trump has made. Because in the past, republicans have been so aligned with the fbi and here you have a bit of a shift that is very interesting to watch. Consider two examples. He had the political information that she republicans is not in it. , take a look. The doj infects informed the court accurately that steeles clearly, nowhere in the dissenting of the dnc ability paying the dnc or Hillary Clinton paying for that. Democrats say that carter paige had left the campaign by then. So they really were not spying on him. But is not with this whole thing was about . I mean, this is a big part of going after zero carter paige new. I think the question you raise are very legitimate about whether clintons name should have been pointed out. Was there a deliberate attempt not to relate information . Im not sure. But could they have been and should they have been more clear . Is it stating that there was a politically motivated push behind this enough . It could be. I think you have smart people in the judges. There was a republican judge. You have at the same time, i think you need to be as clear as possible and there are questions about whether with their was, whether it was clear enough and also questions about whether it should matter or not. If information is legitimate and real it will be corroborated in other ways. As a reporter i would have said who are you talking about . I am wondering if the judges did we shall see. Thank you for your analysis this afternoon. Thank you. A wave of activism among american teenagers rippling across the country. As students demand stricter gun control laws in response to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Meanwhile, the Broward County sheriff rejecting calls for his resignation. Defending the department for the way that deputies reacted during the shooting. At this point we have no reason to believe that anyone acted incorrectly or correctly. It is what investigation is. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. But no one is entitled to their own set of facts. We are live in park in florida with the latest, matt . Breaking this afternoon, 73 state republican legislators in florida have signed a letter to the governor asking for the governor to suspend the Broward County sheriff got israel. Over the past couple of days have been a lot of demands calling for israel to be filed by the governor or to resign but this is now perhaps the biggest official pushed against the Broward County sheriff to step aside. In the past two hours, the speaker of the florida house, Richard Corcoran tweeted today i sent the following letter to the Florida Governor asking that he suspend the Broward County sheriff israel, for incompetence and dereliction of duty. I was honored to be joined by 73 republican colleagues. You can read the attached letter here. Also need to date the Florida Governor has for investigation into how Law Enforcement responded to the shooting in response to the governors investigation and calls for the resignation of the Broward County sheriff that was treated out in part, the Broward Sheriff Office welcomes governor scotts call for the Florida Department enforcement to investigate. They will fully cooperate. This morning the Broward County sheriff appeared on a sunday morning talk show in a heated interview. Here is a portion of it and afterwards, this is a student response. Are you really not taken responsibly for the multiple red flags that were brought to the attention of the Broward Sheriff Office . I can always take responsibility for they knew about. I exercise my due diligence. I have given amazing leadership to this agency. Amazing leadership . Yes. Theres a lot of things that we have done. I think he absolutely needs to resign after what happened here. He failed on so many different levels. And himself is responsible for this massive failure. This could have been easily stopped by the fbi and the Sheriff Department how they acted. This is a live look at the Stoneman Douglas high school. Somehow in the midst of all of us going appointing, students and teachers together the strength to go back to class this week. This afternoon for the first time, students are allowed back onto the campus. They will be reoriented into the campus to ease themselves back into classes. Thousands of people silently entering the campus. Her appearance here today who are fortunate enough to walk back into the school with their child as we know so many are grieving and already have buried their children.

The Broward County sheriff facing mounting pressure to resign over claims that his deputies received more than a dozen calls between 2008 and 2017. What about Nikolaus Cruz with two calls specifically citing concerns that he could open fire inside of a school. All calls since crafted investigations by internal affairs. This is a also investigate reports that deputies waited outside during the shooting that left 17 people dead. Lets bring on our panel here now. Both Defense Attorneys and former prosecutors. And this is still ongoing of course, lawyers are also size in this case. I want to know if it is possible that those officers could Face Criminal Charges or civil charges . I think the likelihood of criminal charges thinking are very slim. But other charges, they have a duty to serve and protect and they failed to protect individuals in the school. I think i see tons of losses from victims family members. I agree. I think criminally it will be a strength to get them in for a negligent homicide. There would not be at this review the principles clearly do not know what witnesses are saying they did or did not do. Other than body cameras etc. As she pointed out civilly, the negligence that they exerted, which assures the front was in college, they did not go inside and exposes them civilly to a lawsuit for sure. The question will be whether or not the families see that being a just and for all of this. Deputies could face charges and yours and also possibly the Sheriffs Department also. What about the School District . I think the School District as well. Your questioning whether or not, did the School District do everything they could to prevent this from happening . What security measures were in place that potentially were not followed . How did this individual get access to the building where they have locked doors, with a living doors open . And we have civil lawsuits, and any and everyone that could be a possible defendant. You do not want to leave anyone out. I think the school being sued, the Sheriffs Department, the superintendent, the School District, there are so many possible defendants. But in the case of the officers i am sure they will say they were acting within the scope of their employment it was not a personal thing. They will go more so after the actual department. And now you have 74 state lawmakers in florida calling for the sheriff, scott israel to step down. Does this impact legal liability for the sheriff himself . Again, he will probably be identified. You will not go after the individual as kisha pointed out. You will name that as defendants but however, the unions will have attorneys and they will go after the county itself or the Sheriffs Department. For the purpose of that. However, again, the calls were some of this for him to step down to resign you will see mounting pressure. And this is why. Think about the number of times the Sheriff Department was called in respect to this individual. Potentially with these tips. He was a threat. Either they did potentially nothing or little to nothing about it. And after all of these tips, he was able to apply for in february 2017, and ar15 assault rifle. The only way would have been prevented from doing that is the background check would have been a felony on his record work domestic conviction. There were called by his mother for domestic incidents at the house if there was an arrest or conviction this could have been prevented. Again, what liability will they have for not acting or acting . And i believe that he and the School Resource officer that ultimately resigned will strengthen the cases for civil liability and with the families. Because it shows something clearly was wrong. Someone dropped the ball. Where else might the legal liability trail lead . Again, the question is background checks. Did they do everything . It appears as if they did legally. You do see lawsuits going after the gun manufacturers, going after gunshots in a manner in which this is conducted. Theres another round i think will be focused on the Sheriffs Department and School District. Questioning of calls and went to the local fbi office that did not make it up to the miami field office. Absolutely. There is so much here that shows that this could have been prevented and major Law Enforcement agencies such as the fbi did nothing to prevent this. And it will be a problem. We have 17 people dead and more people injured a
