speaker wanted to give as an extra. he wanted to give extra as it relates to being able to take the funds and give extra as it relates to forgivable loan. not that i'm necessarily down with a forgivable loan. i think it was more of a game than anything for them to save face. the repo act was that something is really smart and that would beltway other things put into the bill. i think a lot of us were doing a lot of calculating as it relates to the bills in general. a lot of people are upset about the israel aid package specifically and this was the third israel aid package that had come to the house floor. the first when i voted for because the first one was to fund israel and defund the irs and the second was to fund israel and fund nothing else. and this one, leader jeffries

that he disputed those claims. nonetheless, the conservative party was carrying out an investigation into the narrow question of whether funds had been misused, and we got the conclusion of that investigation today. the conclusion is that funds weren't misuse, but it would appear that there is a reason for that, because the funds where people had donated money to the party were not held in an official conservative party accounts, they were held in a thing called the westminster fylde group. that is not a conservative party account, it is not the local fylde conservative association. and for that reason, you couldn't see the conservative party funds had been misused. in addition to that, the party did suggest that perhaps the party did suggest that perhaps the mp had broken some of the principles of a public life, such as openness, integrity, honesty. they also suggested that some of the

always what we miss the most. >> been back in the states also gave nathan an opportunity to travel to churches where he reported on his and denise jake's missionary work and raised more funds so they can return to lithuania. in the u.s., they could celebrate holidays american- style, as they did on valentine's day, 2013. >> as is our tradition on holidays whether it is easter or christmas or birthdays or valentines, for the children, we started first thing in the morning, so the children had their valentine sax that denise had prepared, sitting there on the table for them. my gift to her was the roses and the card i had bought the night before and placed on the table. >> after the early-morning celebration, the family was back to their usual routine, taking the kids to school, shopping, running errands. denise 's parents were at work but that day, something happened that was completely out of character for denise. she failed to pick up julia from school. >> my parents called me, do you want us to pick her up? >> turns out, no one had been able to reach denise for a while, including nathan. >> she had not answered her phone or text messages. i said just wait a few more
