LOOKING FOR THE MAN WHO SHOT AT
THEIR OFFICER INSTALLED THAT
WOMAN’S SILVER FORD FLEX. IT ALL
STARTED ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF
AWAY NEAR GREENFIELD AND
MCNICHOLS, WHERE DPD OFFICERS
WERE ON ROUTINE PATROL. THEY
HEAR SHOTS AND SEE A CAR THAT
THEY BELIEVE IS SHOOTING AT
ANOTHER VEHICLE. POLICE TRY TO
MAKE A TRAFFIC STOP. INSTEAD THE
THREE MEN INSIDE THIS RED CAR,
MAKE A RUN FOR IT AND CRASH INTO

REPORTING TONIGHT FROM
WASHINGTON POST ON THAT FBI RATE
OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MAR
A LAGO HOME SOURCES TELL THE
PAPER THE FBI WAS AFTER
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS RELATING TO
NUCLEAR WEAPONS. THE POST
SOURCES WOULDN’T SAY IF IT
INVOLVED WEAPONS BELONGING TO
THE U. S. OR TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
BUT TODAY, ATTORNEY GENERAL
MERRICK GARLAND BROKE WITH
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PROTOCOL
AND TALKED A BIT ABOUT THE
SEARCH. HE SAID HE PERSONALLY
APPROVED THE SEARCH. THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT HAS FILED A MOTION
ASKING A FEDERAL COURT TO UNSEAL
THE TRUMP WARRANT. THE
DEPARTMENT FILED THE MOTION TO
MAKE PUBLIC THE WARRANT AND
RECEIPT IN LIGHT OF THE FORMER
PRESIDENT’S PUBLIC CONFIRMATION
OF THE SEARCH. THE SURROUNDING
CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE
SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC INTEREST IN
THIS MATTER. LATE TODAY. THE
COURT ORDERED THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT TO MEET WITH TRUMP’S
ATTORNEYS TO SEE IF THEY OPPOSE
UNSEALING THE WARRANT. NO WORD
ON THAT YET THEY HAVE UNTIL
TOMORROW AFTERNOON TO RESPOND.
IN A STATEMENT TODAY, FORMER
PRESIDENT SAID HIS ATTORNEYS AND
REPRESENTATIVES WERE COOPERATING
FULLY. OAKLAND COUNTY IS
INVESTING IN A PLAN TO HELP
HUMAN TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS
REBUILD THEIR LIVES. VICTIM
ADVOCATES SAY THE PROGRAM WILL
GO BEYOND ANYTHING OFFERED AT
MOST STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS.
WOODS IS LIVE IN ROYAL OAK WITH
HOW IT WILL ALL WORK, MEGAN
KIMBERLY DEVIN. THAT NEW PILOT
PROGRAM IS CALLED SURVIVOR TO
THRIVE. ER IN THE POINT OF IT IS
TO PAY FOR SURVIVORS TO ENJOY
THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAYBE YOU
AND I TAKE FOR GRANTED, FOR
EXAMPLE, A SHORT TRIP TO THE ZOO
WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, STARTING
A NEW HOBBY, MAYBE DOING PROGRAM
OR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO
START. OR LAUNCH A CAREER. BEING
STUCK IN SURVIVAL MODE IS NOT A
HEALTHY WAY TO LIVE. MERCER OF
COMMON GROUND HELPS HUMAN
TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS ACROSS
EIGHT COUNTIES, INCLUDING
OAKLAND COUNTY. IT CAN BE YOU
KNOW, YOUR NEIGHBOR, SOMEONE
DOWN THE STREET, SOMEONE THAT
GOES INTO THE SAME CHURCH AS YOU
PEOPLE JUST DON’T KNOW WHO THE
SURVIVORS ARE IN THEIR
COMMUNITY, BUT THEY’RE
EVERYWHERE. THEY’RE STATE AND
FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ESSENTIALS.
BUT ALLISON SAYS THAT’S NOT ALL
SURVIVORS NEED TO REBUILD THEIR
LIVES SO WE CAN GO TO THE MOVIES
GO TO THE ZOO. DO THINGS THAT WE
MIGHT THINK THAT WILL HELP
DISTRESS. SOME PEOPLE WE WORK
WITH. DON’T HAVE THAT OPTION,
AND NEITHER DO THEIR KIDS. AND
SO SOMETIMES THIS PROGRAM IS
MEANT TO FILL THAT GAP BECAUSE
FUNDING DOES NOT EXIST FOR THIS
UNTIL NOW. OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD
OF COMMISSIONERS UNANIMOUSLY
VOTED TO USE CLOSE TO $11,000
FROM THEIR SPECIAL PROJECT FUND
TO HELP KICK START PILOT PROGRAM
SURVIVOR TO THRIVE. ER, IT’S
JUST A GREAT THING TO BE ABLE TO
SAY, OH, YOU WANT TO DO
SOMETHING THAT MIGHT SEEM SO
SIMPLE TO US. BUT THEY’VE NEVER
DONE IT BEFORE OR THEY HAVEN’T
DONE IT IN YEARS. AND WE CAN
FINALLY SAY YOU KNOW WHAT? YEAH,
LET’S GO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT
. COMMISSIONER JANET JACKSON,
CHAIR OF THE COUNTY’S HUMAN
TRAFFICKING TASK FORCE, COULDN’T
BE PROUD OF SURVIVOR. TELL ME
ONE TIME A TASK FORCE CAN BE
NOTHING MORE THAN A TALK FIRST
TALK FOR US IF WE’RE JUST TRYING
TO RAISE AWARENESS AND DO WE
COMMUNITY EVENTS, BUT WHEN YOU
TOUCH THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS
AND HELP CREATE A NEW BEGINNING
FOR THEM, THAT’S IMPACT. AND
THAT TASK FORCE PLANS TO MEET
NEXT WEEK TO FIGURE OUT A START
DATE FOR THIS PROGRAM LIVE IN
ROYAL OAK. I’M MEGAN WOODS,
LOCAL 4 MEGAN, YOU SAID. THIS IS
OAKLAND COUNTY. TWO OTHER
COUNTIES OR STATES HAVE SIMILAR
PROGRAM. WELL, WHEN WE SPOKE TO
ALISON, WHO YOU HEARD FROM
EARLIER, SHE SAYS, THIS IS VERY
UNIQUE TO OAKLAND COUNTY. AND
ONCE THIS STARTS GETTING RUNNING
UP THERE, HOPING THAT THE
COMMUNITY WILL HELP AND DONATE
AS WELL. GREAT PROGRAM. ALRIGHT,
MEGAN. THANKS. AN UPDATE TO A
