turn now. Famous for roles in the West Wing, 30-something. and Field of Dreams. Now surrendering to authorities, facing child. sex abuse allegations. What the actor is now saying in a video message. Here's Trevor Ault. Tonight, actor/director Timothy Busfield, known for his roles. on hit shows "30-something" and "The West Wing". I've only been a White House reporter for seven years. and I appreciate you clearing that out. Has now turned himself into police, charged with sex crimes. against a pair of child actors he directed, releasing.

this video to TMZ. They're all lies and I did not do anything to those little. boys and I'm going to fight it. According to the arrest warrant, the suspected. abuse allegedly happened in New Mexico during. the filming of the TV series The Cleaning Lady. It's time to help out. I don't need that kind of help. Albuquerque police claim the victim's parents. reported the case to Child Protective Services, saying the alleged abuse started when the boys were. seven years old and lasted more than a year.

Investigators claim the mother told them Busfield. had the boys call him Uncle Tim and one of the boys said. Tim would come into the bedroom on the movie set. Police allege that child was later diagnosed with. PTSD and his therapist reported the boy was having. nightmares about the director touching him. Earlier today, US Marshals launched. a search for Busfield in New York's Catskill. Mountains where he lives with his wife, actress Melissa. Gilbert. Busfield says he was already driving to New. Mexico. I got the call Friday night.

I had to get a lawyer Saturday. I got in a car, drove 2000 miles. to Albuquerque in response to the allegations. NBC is pulling an upcoming episode. of Law and Order S. V. U. Where Busfield was set to play a judge and. Warner Brothers, which produced the cleaning lady. is promising to cooperate with law enforcement. David, Melissa Gilbert's publicist says she stands. with and supports her husband. Timothy Busfield is expected to be arraigned. on these charges tomorrow. David, Trevor Alt with us tonight. Trevor, thank you. This evening, President Trump touring a.

Ford factory in Detroit amid new inflation numbers. this evening, showing the prices of coffee, beef. and candy up the president declaring an economic boom. And tonight the images the president at that. factory also making headlines. What President Trump did when he was heckled. by a worker at the factory, what the worker said and how. the president responded, the gesture the president made. Here's Mary Bruce tonight. Tonight President Trump touring a Ford factory in Michigan, painting a rosy picture of the economy. The Trump economic boom has officially begun.

But new numbers out today show inflation up 2.7 percent. since this time last year. Gas prices are down, but household. staples like coffee up nearly 20 percent, ground. beef up more than 15 percent, candy up 10 percent. The typical American household now spending $184 more a month. to purchase the same goods and services as a year ago. One of our top priorities in this mission is promoting.

greater affordability. The president blaming Federal Reserve Chairman. Jerome Powell for not further lowering interest. rates. If I had the help of the. Fed it would be easier, but that jerk will be gone soon. Trump's Justice Department has launched a criminal. investigation into Powell and renovations. of Fed buildings. Powell says it's part of the president's pressure campaign. And tonight, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon sounding the alarm, saying everyone we know believes in Fed independence,

and anything that chips away at that. is probably not a great idea. Top Republicans also skeptical. If the Justice Department is pursuing something, I hope they have a smoking gun for something, because I don't think you trifle with the Federal Reserve, with the Central Bank. Today, I asked the president. They say the investigation into Jerome Powell is going to. undermine confidence in the Fed. Will you approve of this investigation? He's billions of dollars over budget. So either he's incompetent or he's crooked. I don't know what he is, but he certainly doesn't.

do a very good job. As he toured the factory today, Trump heckled by a man who. shouted "pedophile protector," the president responding with. what seemed to be an expletive, then appearing to give. the man the finger. The White House tonight saying the man was quote "in a. complete fit of rage" and the president gave an appropriate. and unambiguous response. The president making his economic pitch there in Michigan. after spending the last several weeks focused on foreign.

affairs, but Trump and Republicans know. well that the midterms are quickly approaching. and that the economy is the top issue for voters. David. Mary Bruce at the. White House tonight. Mary, thank you. In the meantime, across town, the showdown on Capitol Hill. tonight, former President Clinton and former Secretary of. State Hillary Clinton defying a House subpoena to testify in the. Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Tonight, the Clintons scathing letter to the committee. saying every person has to decide when they have seen. or had enough and are ready to fight for this country.

Here's Rachel Scott tonight. Tonight, Bill and Hillary Clinton refusing to testify. before the Republican-led House Committee investigating. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, calling the committee's. subpoena legally invalid. In a blistering letter, the former president and. secretary of state declaring, "Every person has to decide. when they have seen or had enough and are ready to. fight for this country, its principles, and its people, no matter the consequences. For us, now is that time.". The Republican committee chair James Comer, now.

threatening to hold the former president in contempt. We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee. markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson sounding fully on board. I think clearly he's defied a subpoena of Congress. I'm not sure what the other remedy would be. It's a contempt. It shows contempt for Congress. In their extraordinary four-page letter, the. Clintons warning Republicans, "You are on the cusp of. bringing Congress to a halt to pursue a rarely used. process literally designed to result in our imprisonment.".

Former President Clinton was friendly with Epstein, but. he has never been accused of any wrongdoing, and the White. House Chief of Staff told Vanity Fair President Trump. was wrong to claim there was incriminating evidence about. Clinton in the Epstein files. President Trump himself had a long friendship with Epstein, and today Republicans were asked why he hasn't been. called in to testify. He answers questions every day about Epstein. But the Clintons say the Republican mission is clear, writing, "What you are doing is trying to punish those.

you see as your enemies and to protect those you. think are your friends.". Republicans in the House Oversight Committee plan to move. forward with a resolution to hold Bill Clinton in contempt. of Congress next week. It would then head to the House for a full vote and could. lead to prosecution by the Justice Department. David. Rachel Scott, live. on the Hill for us. Thank you, Rachel.
