Reporter who once said Hillary Clinton should be behind bars. Lock her up yeah, thats right, lock her up. Reporter but facing a possible prison term himself, flynn took a deal with special counsel robert mueller, spending 19 sessions talking to investigators. In exchange, mueller recommended flynn do no time. At the 11th hour, flynns attorneys implied the fbi tricked him, but today in court, he admitted he knew he was committing a crime when he lies to federal agents. The judge then making it clear he was seriously considering sending flynn to prison, saying, i cannot assure you, if you proceed today, that you will not receive a sentence of incarceration. He told flynn and his team to leave the courtroom to consider requesting a delay in the sentencing. They did, and when they returned, flynns mood had changed. His smile gone, he rested his chin on his knuckles, as his lawyers asked the judge to postpone sentencing until flynn had finished cooperating with the special counsel. And then, flynn walked out. Supporters and critics shouting at the top of their lungs. Chaotic scene outside that courthouse. And pierre, i know our reporting team saw that Michael Flynn was clearly frustrated with how this played out today. We now know that Michael Flynns sentencing has been pushed back to at least march . Reporter david, that may be the next time we see him in court. Until then, the judge expects flynn to continue cooperating with the special counsel.

Pierre, thank you. Next, to the tragic deaths tonight of two Police Officers in chicago, chasing an armed suspect right onto the railroad tracks, seeing a train in the distance, but not seeing the one speeding toward them from behind.

Mr. President , can we ask about the shutdown . Well see what happens. Reporter but on capitol hill, republicans are already signaling this fight is over. Are you convinced that we will not shut down . Yeah, i am. Reporter today, republicans proposed 1. 6 billion in new spending for border security, but not for a wall, and another 1 billion the president could spend as he chose, but democrats called that a slush fund and rejected it. Right now, the white house says it may be able to find unspent money in various agencies and use that for a wall, but that might not even be legal. Then, theres trumps claim that his renegotiated nafta deal, the usmca, will do the trick and fulfill his promise. Why is he asking the american taxpayer for them when he promised mexico was going to pay . Look, were not asking american taxpayers for that. The president has been clear that the usmca deal would provide additional revenue through that deal that would show that mexico is paying for the wall. Reporter not to the treasury, though. The trade benefits, if there are any, dont go to the treasury. Hes saying that the revenue provided and the money that would be saved through the usmca deal, we can pay for the wall four times over.
