Federal prosecutors have charged him with nearly two dozen counts of fraud and bribery. Lets get out to Lauren Johnson with the latest on what we are expecting, lauren. Reporter what we are expecting is jury selection to begin here at 9 30. Seth williams will show up here at the federal courthouse for the biggest trial of his career and the judge in the case asking for a split trial because williams remains acting District Attorney, despite protesters calling for his rest evenings since about march. His law license has been suspended but williams has not given up his role. Prosecutors slapped him with 29 charges of fraud and bribe ry outlined in the 50 page indictment. In it they claim that williams accepted more than 160,000 in gifts, in exchange for legal favors. He used government vehicles for personal use, and ebb stole money from his own mother. Prosecutors claiming and planning to use some of williams own word against him when they present their case to the jury. Mr. Williams was willing to compromise his position of public trust, in exchange for private, financial gain. The indictment does not contain a single allegation that the outcome of a single case prosecuted by my Clients Office was affected. We look forward to refuting the allegations and to the day mr. Williams is cleared of this behavior. Mr. Williams simply took money that did not belong to him. Williams attorney has been speaking but williams himself has remained quiet. We do know he continues to receive his 175,000 paycheck, until his term end in january, he is really only d. A. In title because he handed over daily operations of the Prosecutors Office to his first assistant. We do understand williams could face a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years if convicted, again, jury selection starts here this morning at 9 30, thomas and karen. Thank you, lauren.

Happening today after four years of negotiations the School District of fail and their Teachers Union they have agreed on a tentative contract this evening the union is holding a special meeting for members to vote on it. Our jenny joyce joining us from School District headquarters. Here we go, lot of back and forth, jenny. Reporter yeah, good morning, guys. Both side seem very excited about this tentative contract. Teachers and staff for the philadelphia School District have been working without a contract for nearly five years School Superintendent doctor h ite said district had been in bad shape financially which we know that is why it has taken so long to get here there was series of school closures, massive layoffs and big cuts. Doctor hite is hoping this contract deal will provide the stability necessary to move the district forward to keep teachers here, recruit new talented teachers and Staff Members and improve the overall educational climate for the children. We talked to some parents on friday who say they are impressed that the teachers and staff stuck it out this long and they see this tentative agreement as a positive, yet necessary step, in the process. Superintendent hite feels the same way. If in fact this becomes ratified and then later approved by src, then the one thing that this provides for us is that we didnt have before is stability. Stability means we have teachers who are not looking to go other places, stability means we can focus intently on improving teaching and learning, stability means that we can ensure that the climate in our schools is conducive to great learning. Reporter tentative agreement was presented to roughly 12,000 Union Members over the weekend, once approved, members of the Union Tell Us that the contract terms will be in effect through august of 2020.

Apparently, he has been talking about wanting to go back on the theater tour circumstance witt his show, so he has got enough energy to do his stand up show, which was far from finish tour then i think he should find that same energy for a trial at which all he has to do is sit there and not even perform.
