DESPITE THE SHOCK AND GRIEF, THE
FAMILY OF OFFICER LAUREN COURTS
WANTS YOU TO KNOW WHAT AN
EXCEPTIONAL MAN FATHER AND
OFFICER HE WAS. EVERYTHING THAT
HAS TRANSPIRED SINCE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, HAS BEEN SURREAL FOR HIS
FAMILY. AND MOST OF ALL, SOME
BREATHTAKINGLY UNFAIR. MARA
MACDONALD HAS THIS REPORT. EVERY
TIME WE THANK YOU. IT IS ALL
OVERWHELMING AND JUST SO VERY,
VERY HARD. I AM ANGRY. BUT I’M
MORE SAD. I’M SAD THAT I DON’T
GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN AND WE
DON’T GET TO HUG HIM AGAIN. I’M
SAD. I DON’T KNOW IF I IF I HAVE
TIME TO BE ANGRY RIGHT NOW,
CHRISTINE AND LAUREN HAVE TWO
BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. NINE YEAR
OLD DEVON IN 15 YEAR OLD
DARRIEN, WEARING AN MSU
SWEATSHIRT HERE. THAT’S WHERE
HIS DAD WENT TO SCHOOL AND DEVON
WEARING HIS BATMAN T SHIRT. AND
THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT
THEIR DAD. KEVIN. WHAT DID YOU
LOVE TO DO WITH YOUR DAD? THE
MOST HANG UP WITH HER. SO WHEN
YOU GUYS WERE HANGING OUT, WHAT
WOULD YOU DO? WATCHING THE
MOVIE. FOUR. PLAY TOGETHER. I
WOULDN’T PUT ASIDE ANYTHING IF
WE NEEDED ANYTHING. HE WAS JUST
ALWAYS THERE FOR WHATEVER WE
NEEDED. LAUREN COURTS LOVED
BEING A DETROIT POLICE OFFICER,
BUT DEVIN AND DARIEN WERE HIS
NUMBER ONE. I KEEP ASKING WHY,
LIKE I PRAYED SO HARD SO HARD
AND WHEN WE WERE AT THE HOSPITAL
IT’S ALMOST IT WAS UNREAL, LIKE
OUT OF BODY BECAUSE WHEN THEY
CAME IN YOU JUST KNEW RIGHT AWAY
. YOU KNEW WHEN THE DOCTOR CAME
IN THAT THIS WASN’T GONNA BE
GOOD. CHRISTINA SURROUNDED BY
HER EXTENDED FAMILY AND FRIENDS
. WHEN WE VISITED, THE HOUSE WAS
FILLED TO THE BRIM. BUT IN SO
MANY WAYS SHE AND HER CHILDREN
ARE AT THE CENTER OF A WHIRLWIND
WITH THIS VAST FEELING OF
EMPTINESS. HOW DO YOU FEEL? WHAT
IS NOW A GIANT ACHING VOID.
THERE’S A LOT THAT I CAN’T DO
FOR THEM THAT HE COULD HE CAN DO
AND. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE
TO DO THAT, AND NOW THERE’S JUST
SOME THINGS I WON’T BE ABLE TO
DO, BUT I’M GOING TO DO THE
BEST. I CAN I’M MARA MACDONALD.
LOCAL 4 ALRIGHT. THANKS FOR, UM
WITH QUESTIONS STILL SURROUNDING
THE 19 YEAR OLD SUSPECT IN HIS
PREVIOUS RUN INS WITH POLICE
BECOME COUNTY PROSECUTOR PETER
LEWIS EDO IS BLAMING COUNTY
EXECUTIVE MARK HACKEL FOR WHY AN
ARREST WARRANT FOR HIM WAS
DELAYED CALLS THIS CLAIM ABSURD
AT ALL CENTERS AROUND A DRIVE BY
SHOOTING JUNE, THE NINTH AT A
GRADUATION PARTY IN EAST POINT.
A WARRANT REQUEST WAS SUBMITTED
TO THE MACOMB COUNTY PROSECUTOR
ON JUNE THE 22ND AGAINST THE
SUSPECT, IMANI DAVIS. IT WASN’T
PROCESSED UNTIL THURSDAY, A DAY
AFTER DAVIS SHOT AND KILLED
LAUREN COURTS AND WAS KILLED
HIMSELF LOOSE. ITO SAYS HIS
OFFICE HAD TO DO ADDITIONAL
INVESTIGATING AND IS BLAMING THE
DELAY ON STAFFING ISSUES
SPECIFICALLY, POINTING FINGERS
AT HACKEL, WHO RESPONDED WITH
THIS STATEMENT. QUOTE THE BOTTOM
LINE IS THAT LUCIDO FELL TO SEE
THE RED FLAGS IN THIS CASE, THE
19 YEAR OLD SHOOTER ALREADY HAD
MULTIPLE POLICE CONTACTS FOR
WEAPONS AND VIOLENCE. EVEN IF
THERE HAD BEEN A PAL OF WARRANT
REQUESTS. THE PROSECUTOR HAD A
DUTY TO PLACE THIS ONE ON TOP OF
THE POWELL AND HE DID NOT. AND
LOCAL FORD DID ASK BOTH OF CEDAR
AND HACKLE FOR AN ON CAMERA
INTERVIEW LAST NIGHT. THEY BOTH
DECLINED. PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNS
A NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER TO PROTECT
ABORTION RIGHTS JUST TWO WEEKS
AFTER THAT LANDMARK SUPREME
COURT DECISION TO OVERTURN ROE
V. WADE THE PRESIDENT WANTS
FEDERAL AGENCIES TO MAKE SURE
WOMEN CAN CROSS STATE LINES TO
ACCESS ABORTION SERVICES. AND TO
SAFEGUARD ACCESS TO ABORTION
MEDICATIONS AND EMERGENCY
CONTRACEPTION. HE ALSO WANTS TO
PROTECT PATIENT PRIVACY. ON
FRIDAY AT A SIGNING CEREMONY,
PRESIDENT BIDEN DESCRIBED THE
SUPREME COURT AS QUOTE OUT OF
CONTROL. WE CANNOT ALLOW AN OUT
OF CONTROL SUPREME COURT.
WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH
EXTREMIST ELEMENTS OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY TO TAKE AWAY
FREEDOMS AND OUR PERSONAL
AUTONOMY. HERE IN MICHIGAN IN
1931 LAW BANNING ABORTION HAS
BEEN TEMPORARILY BLOCKED IN
COURT, BUT THE BATTLE OVER THAT
IS STILL FAR FROM OVER. FEDERAL
PROSECUTORS OPENED A NEW
INVESTIGATION INTO FORMER
DETROIT MAYOR KWAME KILPATRICK’S
FINANCES. THEY’RE TRYING TO
DETERMINE IF KILPATRICK IS
PAYING BACK THE $1.7 MILLION HE
STILL OWES TAXPAYERS. AND THE I
R S. HE STARTED VARIOUS BUSINESS
VENTURES SINCE HIS PRISON
SENTENCE WAS COMMUTED. RECENTLY
HE STARTED ASKING FOR DONATIONS
OF $8000 TO BUY A NEW HOME IN
ORLANDO. ALTHOUGH THAT REQUEST
SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN.
THE U. S ATTORNEY’S OFFICE CALLS
THE INVESTIGATION ROUTINE, BUT
THE EFFORTS COULD HELP
PROSECUTORS SEES MONEY OR
GARNISH INCOME OR EVEN TAX
RETURNS. FORMER TRUMP WHITE
HOUSE COUNSEL PAT SIMPLE ONLY
SAT DOWN WITH THE HOUSE SELECT
COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE
JANUARY 6TH CAPITAL INSURRECTION
. THE CLOSED DOOR INTERVIEW
LASTED FOR NEARLY EIGHT HOURS ON
FRIDAY. SIMPLE ONLY HAS BEEN A
SAUNA AFTER WITNESS SAYS HE WAS
AMONG THE HANDFUL OF PEOPLE WHO
WERE WITH TRUMP AS HE WATCHED
THE CAPITAL RIOT UNFOLD. BRIAN
TODD HAS THIS REPORT. DONALD
TRUMP SAID THIS ABOUT PATSY
POLONIUM POLONIUM WAS PREPARING
FOR TRUMP’S FIRST IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL. STRONG, SILENT TYPE.
STRONG HE’S VERY STRONG, SILENT
, GREAT JOB. YOU’VE DONE SIMPLE,
ONLY STRENGTH AGAIN BEING PUT TO
THE TEST PRESSURE ON HIM TO
TESTIFY BEFORE THE HOUSE
COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE
JANUARY 6TH ATTACK RATCHETED UP
AFTER LAST WEEK’S TESTIMONY BY
FORMER WHITE HOUSE AIDE CASSIDY
HUTCHINSON. HUTCHINSON TOLD THE
PANEL THAT SIP ALONI, THEN
TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL,
TRIED REPEATEDLY TO GET TRUMP TO
STOP THE VIOLENCE AND TO KEEP
TRUMP FROM GOING TO THE CAPITAL.
PARAPHRASING SIP ALONE IS
WARNING. WE’RE GOING TO GET
CHARGES EVERY CRIME IMAGINABLE
IF WE MAKE THAT MOVEMENT HAPPEN
, SHE SAID, SIP, ALONI
REPEATEDLY URGED HER BOSS, THEN
CHIEF OF STAFF, MARK MEADOWS, TO
GET TRUMP TO STOP THE VIOLENCE.
I REMEMBER PAT SAYING SOMETHING
TO THE EFFECT OF MARK. WE NEED
TO DO SOMETHING MORE. THEY’RE
LITERALLY CALLING. FOR THE VICE
PRESIDENT. THE ETHIC HONG LOOKS
LIKE HE WAS THE ADULT IN THE
ROOM. THE 56 YEAR OLD SIP. ALONI
IS NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF A
CLASSIC WASHINGTON POLITICAL
BRAWL, TESTIFYING BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS. BY ALL ACCOUNTS, HE’S
ALWAYS TRIED TO AVOID THE
SPOTLIGHT DESCRIBED IN
WASHINGTON POST PROFILE AS A
QUOTE WASHINGTON EVERY MAN
ALWAYS PREFERRING TO WORK THE
MECHANISMS OF POWER BEHIND THE
SCENES. BILL MEDALS IS AN
ATTORNEY WHO WORKED EVERY DAY
WITH SIMPLE ONLY FOR A YEAR AND
A HALF ON A PROMINENT WHITE
COLLAR CRIMINAL CASE. I REALLY
ADMIRE LAWYERS WHO KEEP YOUR
HEAD DOWN, DO THEIR JOB AND
DON’T TRY TO DON’T TRY TO BE A
PART OF THE CIRCUS. PAT IS
REALLY GOOD AT SETTING HIMSELF
ASIDE. AND FOCUSING ON DOING
WHAT’S BEST FOR HIS CLIENT. A
FORCEFUL SIDE OF SIMPLE ONI DID
EMERGE AS HE DEFENDED TRUMP IN
HIS FIRST IMPEACHMENT TRIAL AND
THIS RIDICULOUS CHARADE. AND GO
HAVE AN ELECTION. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. MR CHIEF JUSTICE BEGAN HIS
JOURNEY TO WASHINGTON AS THE SON
OF ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS BORN IN
THE BRONX. HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE
10 CHILDREN, AND HE’S ACTIVE IN
THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY, HAVING
SERVED ON THE BOARD OF THE
CATHOLIC INFORMATION CENTER,
WHICH IS AFFILIATED WITH OPUS
DEI, A CONSERVATIVE WING OF THE
CHURCH. A KIND OF WATERING HOLE
IF YOU LIKE, WHERE FAITH AND
VALUES CONSERVATIVES, MOVERS AND
SHAKERS IN DC KEANNA TOGETHER TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY CAN
BRING THEIR FAITH TO BEAR ON
THEIR POLITICAL ACTIVITIES, BUT
WHILE HE MAY INJECT HIS FAITH
INTO HIS POLITICS AND HOW HE
WIELDS POWER METAL, SAYS BALONEY
IS NOT OVERBEARING ABOUT IT.
WHILE IT’S VERY AH, VERY MUCH A
BIG PART OF WHO HE IS AND WHAT
HE STANDS FOR. HE DOESN’T PUT IT
IN YOUR FACE ALL THE TIME. THAT
WAS BRIAN TODD REPORTING FOR US
THIS MORNING, COMMITTEE MEMBER
REPRESENTATIVE ZOE LOFGREN SAYS
SIMPLE ONLY DID NOT CONTRADICT
THE TESTIMONY OF OTHER WITNESSES
. CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS SAYS SHE
THINKS THEY LEARNED NEW THINGS
THAT WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE
PUBLIC’S ATTENTION. IN UPCOMING
HEARINGS. ALSO MAKING HEADLINES
. ELON MUSK’S $44 BILLION OFFER
TO BUY TWITTER IS ON THE VERGE
OF COLLAPSE ON FRIDAY MASKS IN A
LETTER TO TWITTER’S BOARD,
SAYING HE’S CALLING OFF THE DEAL
AFTER THE COMPANY ALLEGEDLY
FAILED. TO PROVIDE ENOUGH
INFORMATION ABOUT THE NUMBER OF
FAKE ACCOUNTS. MUSK SAYS THE
INFORMATION IS FUNDAMENTAL TO
TWITTER’S BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL
PERFORMANCE AND IS NEEDED TO
FINISH THE MERGER. TWITTER
IMMEDIATELY FIRED BACK, SAYING
