News of all of that violence broke just as president obama was speaking at eakins oval. He was in town to campaign for Hillary Clinton and katie mcginm mcginty. And the democratic ticket. Vernon odom is live. Reporter Hillary Clinton remained off the campaign trail for the second day in a row still involved with her battle with pneumonia. But in philadelphia on her behalf president obama, who got a rousing reception from the estimated 6,000 people out here on the parkway today. President barack obama by the several thousands today they came out to see president obama in person, perhaps for the first time before his second term comes to an end. His Approval Ratings are in the high 50s and is proving to be Hillary Clintons highest surrogate on the rugged campaign trail. You dont know what its like to send young people to war knowing that some wont come back. But the closest you can come to understanding what it is like is to be where hillary has been. The president s toward donald trump. This is the guy you want championing working people. This guy that spent 70 years on this earth showing no concern for working people. Even after his speech he absorbed the love on the line, people said their trip had a two fold purpose. Its an Incredible Opportunity to say thank you to an awesome president and show support for the future. And that would be elected Hillary Clinton as present. He got the message out that hillary needs to be elected. Trump is not someone that should be in the white house. Reporter sharrie and brian, president obama remains in town at this hour. He is the Star Attraction at a Democratic Party fundraiser, the price of a ticket just under 33,500. Live on the ben franklin parkway, im vernon odom, channel 6 action news. All right thank you. The president s visit to philadelphia did cause traffic trouble today. Just a little bit. Matt pellman is standing by in the Traffic Center with how the evening is shaping up. Reporter its causing a little more of traffic trouble at this hour right at this moment brian and sharrie, we are live in center city along the vine street expressway along broad street and they blocked off all the eastbound lanes of the vine to the schuylkill. Indicating the president will be on the move shortly. Lets go up top, no traffic gets by on the eastbound expressway. And the westbound vine expressway is open. But a lot of Police Activity in this area. So traffic is just kind of gridlocked. As we look live, this is broad street to spring garden. And its stacked up to city hall and there are police out there blocking off part of the intersection at north broad. Its just kind of gridlocked across the board because of the president ial visit. We expect what will happen, if heads on the eastbound to 95 southbound and run that Philadelphia International airport if you head out over the next 45 minutes or so. I would not count on being able to use the vine street expressway eastbound or 95 southbound, there will be rolling closures as the president heads back to Philadelphia International airport. But here at eakins oval, at the art museum. Everybody is open. It was shut down earlier because of his speech and now the oval as well as the ben franklin parkway is open, but they are jammed because of the closures now in center city. Well check it again coming up in just a little bit. Meanwhile, republican nominee, donald trump will also be here tonight. Holding what his campaign describes as a policy speech. He was in iowa hammering Hillary Clinton over what he called her arrogance and entitlement. Seizing on clintons reference to his supporters as deplorable.

He say priest in Lehigh County that worked for the local Catholic School but today he is facing child porn charges bought of what a friend allegedly found on that priests computer. John rawlins is live now with the details. Reporter this apparently started in july brian, when the pastor asked a parishioner here to update a couple of Laptop Computers and the parishioner looked at the computers and saw disturbing downloads and he alerted the Church Officials and that led to an investigation of the Church Officials and the pastor by the district attorneys office. Numerous files of child pornography was on the dedivisions and the investigation determined it was the monsignor mraz and he searched and downloaded the child pornography for his own sexual gratification. Monsignor john mraz charged today with child pornography. He request no longer present himself as a priest and his attorney urges caution. I would ask that people not rush to judgment and often time they do in these situations with the Catholic Church and things in the past. People are baffled. And want to check to see if there is improper contact with the defendant and children. Do it the right way, especially young kids. Investigators did not identify if i the children on the downloaded files. Asked if there were concerns for local children. I have no knowledge of that at the present time. They say there is no evidence of improper contact with children. This is just a Pornography Case and hopefully it will be just that. Counselors will be available at the school and for parishioners soon. They stress that if anyone knows of improper contact to report it to police as soon as possible. All right john thank you. Meanwhile, in a separate case in delaware, a Police Officer was also arrested for child pornography.
