our other top story tonight a man from
Dearborn is headed back to the u.s. to
face accusations of being an Isis
fighter news that comes as quite a shock
to neighbors who said they hadn't seen
him in a long time but now they know why
the FBI came knocking on his door
our Sean Leigh spoke to them today Sean
here in Dearborn his family calls him a
saint coalition forces call him an Isis
fighter trying to escape Syria when he
was caught tonight
legal experts they're weighing in on
this case
on the other side of these tracks
separating southwest Detroit and
Dearborn is Riverside Drive and the
Moose a bleep family home FBI agents
raided the home just days ago and
neighbors wondered what was going on
what did you see I just saw five or
seven you know FBI cars over here what
did you think when you saw them mm-hmm
nothing I just wasn't look worried over
there look at what there was went on
over there you know the feds were after
evidence inside the home after the
couple's son Ibrahim a 28 year old US
citizen traveled from here according to
the feds to Syria and was identified by
Isis members as an Isis militant had you
not seen Ibrahim in a while no did
anyone wonder where he was supporting
Isis local for legal analyst Neil rock
Hinde calls this a strong case for the
u.s. government
Ibrahim musaib Lee was captured trying
to escape one of the last areas in Syria
held by Isis he will be transferred back
to the United States and put on trial in
this case they're going to be able to
show that the the accused actually left
the country that he was actually
captured by forces who are fighting Isis
abroad in the Middle East what's your
reaction that he was allegedly captured
in Syria as an Isis militant
one word right there shock from that
particular neighbor in the meantime
family members who live in certain
houses up and down that street would not
come to the door today the only comment
on this coming from Ibraheim brother he
told the New York Times Devin calling
his brother a saint and that he quote
wouldn't hurt a fly
back to you Shawn you spoke with
neighbors who I guess we would describe
as well they felt like they knew him
right knew him knows his mom and dad
know that mom and dad very very well
certainly they say did not expect any
extremist activities coming from that
particular son they did notice he's been
gone for quite a while they were
wondering where he was
Noren now a local for update the former
Michigan State University basketball
strength coach involved in a distracted

seems president Trump's close
relationship with his now former
personal attorney Michael Cohen has
cooled a bit a bombshell report claims
Cohen who once said he would take a
bullet for Trump secretly recorded the
president discussing a payout to playboy
model and former Michigander Karen
McDougal and something the president has
vehemently denied knowing anything about
Susan McGinnis following the fallout
from Washington Susan at the end of a
rocky foreign policy week a domestic
firestorm erupts around president
Krampus mrs. Michael Pollan The New York
Times reports the president's former
attorney Michael Cohen secretly taped a
conversation with then-candidate Trump
the two discussed paying off a former
Playboy model Karen McDougal who claims
she had a 10-month affair with Trump in
2006 it shows that the president knew
about these payments and when the
campaign says in the beginning of
November that they didn't know anything
about this that's not true that they
were lying the FBI is also looking at
hush money paid to a
don't film star stormy Daniels whose
attorney claims this tape isn't the only
one
any and all audio tapes that Michael
Cullen has in his possession relating to
this president should be released
immediately for the benefit of the
American public it take was seized from
Cowan earlier this year by FBI agents
investigating whether the payoffs
amounted to illegal campaign
contributions he's the guy who hit
record to capture this conversation so
my expectation is that you will see
Michael Cohen at some point cut a deal
with the government NBC asked the
president in June if he was worried
Cowan might flip the president's
attorney Rudy Giuliani tells The Times
the MacDougal payment was never made and
the tape shows no evidence of wrongdoing
McDougal sold her story to the National
Enquirer which never ran it in
Washington Susan McGinnis local for it
Susan an important to note though as of
yet Michael Cohen has not been charged
with any wrongdoing developing right now
