So the Congressional Conference Committee has been working since about 8 00 oclock this morning just tying up some of the Technical Details making sure all the language matches and then going through certain rules, procedures in order to get this bill ready for a vote which we expect to happen around noon today. It does seem like republicans do plan on getting this across the goal line. The tax cuts and jobs act is passed. With some heckling from the gallery, in the wee hours of the morning, vicepresident mike pence presided over Senate Passage of the republican tax plan right along party lines. If we cant tell this to the either line of work. Reporter Mitch Mcconnell with a big win even fare amount of public scepticism. But the more immediate problem, the senate had to make some last minute changes including the name of the bill itself that didnt fit with senate rules. Without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. Reporter that mean even though the house passed the bill earlier in the day with great fanfare, theyll have to do it again with the changes later today. Democratic objections though will remain. Republicans will be running away from this bill in shame for voting yes this evening. Reporter Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer eviscerated republicans but he may have been angrier about the fact that they werent listening to him. This is serious stuff.

President trump overnight tweeteed out he is planning abot a 1 00 p. M. White house press conference. Some of that depends on how things go today in terms of timing, and then theres supposed to be a post passage celebration for republicans. Apparently a number of buses are going to be leaving capitol hill here to head to the white house as well. What is still unclear is on what date the president will actually sign the bill into law.

Reporter yeah, erin, these are baggage hand they are had he push the luggage. Lets show you real quick these kind of people who push the carts. Who push the wheel chairs, and who work as customer agents here. You see a bunch of them in front of this window. Theyve got about ten of the outdoor windows that theyve gotten p front of of. These are contract workers who want to unionize, they say they work for a texas based company, and we reached out to that company and havent gotten any response yet, but these workers say that they work in poor conditions, that theyre sometimes mistreated and they want 15 an hour as minimum wage. They say they are paid a paupers wage. They also want to unionize and join seiu and one of the unions local vicepresident s is here. Jaime, reach out to huntly usa and havent heard back yet. But what are these people upset about . Theyre not union knifed. But they work here and help people get from the curb to the gate. Yes sir when they travel. Theyre upset because most of these people have to work two and three jobs making as little as 6. 25 per hour without reliable tips.

Ill call you once i get the package. Who was he talking to . Who was 93 touch with . Nobody else was arrested. Whats going on . How could just one person do all of these things . New installment of sarah frasers mansion murders podcast is available starting today. It was meant to be just sixpart podcast but new information has developed leading to another chapter in this ever turning story. Yesterday i got a chance to sit down with sarah to talk about these new revelation so many twists and turns with the mansion murders podcast and sarah fraser you uncovered new very rev have iting details much whats going on . Theres some big ones in this story. So as you know, weve been working this story for the past nine months, but little over a month ago we had receive an anonymous email essentially saying that Katerina Savopoulos the daughter of amy and savvas who were murdered she has restraining order against her grandfather thats been in effect since september 21, 2017 season in effect for one year against her grandfather and so we have been working this, and it turns out this is true. It was filed in d. C. The whole process started in august. So this episode really takes a look at that cpo which a civil protective order or restraining order. And takes a deeper look at some of the things that are in that. That is a their relationship been strained from what you observed. . Whats the dynamic behind the scenes again that obvious we work on fact. So were not roaring those things yet. But i would certainly say theres definitely a lot going on. I mean the grandfather Philip Savopoulos has been ordered to stay away, no contact, katerina goes to school up in new eng england. Cannot see her considering not talk, no texts, nothing. So theres clearly a lot going on, and top criminal defense attorney bernie grim is on this podcast. Really does a fantastic job of breaking down what this means. What does it mean. Very telling there was not Police Report filed, and bernie grim gives some examples of why there wouldnt be a Police Report filed. Can you give us an example. I dont know if you dont file a Police Report, whats that mean . In this case, if you bernie explains to us in the podcast, if you file a sexual assault, for example, after you file in d. C. In the District Of Columbia you can take it back. Once its in motion, its in motion. Theyre going all the even if a month or two you go, you know what, i want to take back these charges. Too bad. Theyre going all the way. Theyre investigating teague egg it to grand jury seeing if they can bring charges and with that brings a lot of public exposure. So one of bernies thoughts on this is that they didnt want to do that because as youll hear in the restraining order theres some very graphic things that they did not want to become public. Youve been so intimately involved in this podcast i mean this has been what youve done for nine months now. Yeah. What im wouldnting this new revelation, how did it resonate for you . It was shocking. I think when you we received lots of, you know, were getting lots of tips and lots of times weve chased some that have been completely not accurate. This one was a big one though. I moon i really thought when i read this i was like oh my god. If this is true, this is really not only a big twist in the Family Dynamics but for this whole case because like bernie grim said the other big thing youll find out in this episode theres still a grand jury open in this case. That means a lot o things, too. You know, but that but this cpo could have a big effect on that grand jury. So this case is really still unfolding, and i think youre going to get some other big shockers coming up. Does this revelation help in you any way figure out who might have done this . Because the theory has been darrin wint a for a lot people did not do this alone. Well, i think that this certainly brings out more questions that he didnt do it alone. What were the motives . Wonderful tease. Sarah,. You need to dont load. Yes. This episode by far i mean blown away, and bernie does such a terrific job. Hes just an incredible att attorney.
