ON TRUTH SOCIAL, QUOTE, JUSTICE IN. AMERICA, ADDING THAT. COMEY IS, QUOTE, BEING. HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR. HIS CRIMES AGAINST OUR. NATION. LAURA JARRETT IS HERE. WITH THAT BREAKING. NEWS. WALK OUR VIEWERS. THROUGH THIS, WHAT. HAPPENED. IT NEVER HAPPENED IN. OUR HISTORY. >> WE HAVE SEEN A LOT. OF FIRSTS IN THIS. ADMINISTRATION AND THE. LAST ONE. THIS IS TRULY. REMARKABLE. THIS IS THE MAN WHO. ONCE SERVED AS THE TOP.

LAW ENFORCEMENT. OFFICER OF OUR COUNTRY. AND NOW INDICTED BY A. FEDERAL GRAND JURY. WE ARE GETTING THE. ACTUAL INDICTMENT. WE HAD WONDERED WHO IT. WOULD BE SIGNED BY. IT'S VERY BRIEF. TWO PAGES PROVIDING. VERY LITTLE DETAILS. BEYOND WHAT WE HAVE. REPORTED, TOM, ABOUT. IT HAVING TO DO WITH. OBSTRUCTION TO. CONGRESS. THAT HAVING DO WITH A. FALSE STATEMENT TO. CONGRESS STEMMING FROM. HIS TESTIMONY BACK IN. 2020. HE WAS ASKED BY. SENATOR TED CRUZ ABOUT. WHETHER HE HAD EVER.

AUTHORIZED A LEAK TO. THE MEDIA, APPROVED. SOMEONE ELSE MAKING. THE LEAK. HE STOOD BY SOME. EARLIER TESTIMONY. WHERE HE DENIED. WRONGDOING. THAT IS AT LEAST. ACCORDING TO THIS. INDICTMENT WHAT ALL OF. THE CASE INVOLVES HAS. TO DO WITH THAT. EXCHANGE WITH TED. CRUZ. WE WILL SEE WHETHER. MORE COMES OUT. YOU CAN HAVE A. SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT. WHERE YOU ADD MORE. MEAT ON THE BONES. NOW WE ARE NOT GETTING. MUCH MORE. PAURNT APPARENTLY THE. INTERIM U.S. ATTORNEY, MR. TRUMP'S FORMER. DEFENSE ATTORNEY, LINDSEY HALLIGAN, WHO. HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE.

RIGHT NOW, WAS IN THE. COURTROOM. THERE WAS A LOT OF. BACK AROUND FORTH AND. CONFUSION ABOUT THE. COUNTS, WHETHER THE. JURY HAD RETURNED A. TRUE BILL, ACTUALLY. INDICTED HIM ON ALL OF. THE COUNTS. IT'S RARE TO HAVE THE. U.S. ATTORNEY HERSELF. IN THE COURTROOM. SO I THINK SORT OF. SIGNALS HOW THE. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WAS. SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE. TO BRING THESE. CHARGES, WHICH THE. PRESIDENT AGAIN OF. COURSE HAD DEMANDED. FOR QUITE SOME TIME. >> LAURA JARRETT, THANK YOU FOR THAT. STAND BY FOR US. >>> ALSO WANT TO GO TO. OUR CHIEF JUSTICE AND. NATIONAL AFFAIRS. CORRESPONDENT KELLY. O'DONNELL WHO HAS BEEN. TRACKING THIS AS WELL. TAKE US INSIDE THE.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. OVER THE LAST FEW. DAYS. >> Reporter: WELL, AS. LAURA WAS SAYING, THE. SEARCH FOR A. PROSECUTOR TO BRING. THE CHARGES WAS PAYING. PART OF THE BACK STORY. HERE, AND ON THE TRUE. BILL THAT YOU WERE. TALKING ABOUT, LINDSEY. HALLIGAN'S SIGNATURE. APPEARS. SHE IS A PERSON WHO. HAS JUST BEEN PLACED. IN THIS ROLE AS THE. U.S. ATTORNEY FOR THE. EASTERN DISTRICT OF. VIRGINIA. COMING INTO THE POST. FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. AND PRIOR TO THAT AS A. PERSONAL LAWYER FOR. PRESIDENT TRUMP. SHE HAS NOT EVER BEEN. A PROSECUTOR.

SHE CAME TO THE JOB. AFTER THE LONG-TIME. PERSON IN THAT ROLE. WHO HAD BEEN SUPPORTED. BY OTHERS IN THE LEGAL. COMMUNITY AS A STRONG. LAWYER RESIGNED. ABRUPTLY. LATER THE PRESIDENT. SAID HE WAS FIRED IN. WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE. A DISPUTE OVER THIS. CASE. NOT BELIEVING THERE. WAS SUFFICIENT TO. EVIDENCE TO BRING TO. GRAND JURY, TO BRING. IT TO FEDERAL CHARGES, AND HIS EXIT, WHICH. WAS A LOT OF DRAMA FOR. THE EASTERN VIRGINIA. DISTRICT, THEN LED TO.

A CLOSE FRIEND OF THE. PRESIDENT, AN. ASSOCIATE OF THE. PRESIDENT BECOMING. PART OF THIS AND NOW. HER SIGNATURE, HER. FINGERPRINTS AND THE. POLITICAL -- OF THE. PRESIDENT IS ON THIS. WITH THE PRESIDENT. POSTING ABOUT IT. TONIGHT AND ALSO NEXT. STEPS STILL TO BE. DETERMINED IF WE HEAR. FROM COMEY OR HIS. COUNSEL. TOM. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE WILL COME BACK TO. LAURA. WE ARE HEARING A LOT. OF REACTION FROM THE. PRESIDENT, THE. DIRECTOR OF THE FBI. AND PAM BONDI AS WELL. THIS COULD ALL BE PART. OF COMEY'S CASE AS. WELL, CORRECT? >> ABSOLUTELY. EVERYTHING THAT HAS. BEEN SAID IN THE. PUBLIC, TOM,

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO. GO IN WHAT'S CALLED A. MEMO TO GET THIS CASE. DISMISSED. THROWN OUT OF COURT. BEFORE IT GOES TO A. JURY. I ASSURE YOU THAT'S. WHAT THE DEFENSE. COUNSEL FOR COMEY IS. DOING IS GATHERING ALL. OF THAT INFORMATION. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT. JUDGE WILL BE -- THIS. WILL BE IN FRONT OF. >> LAURA JARRETT, THANK YOU FOR THAT. >>> OKAY. NOW TO THE. INVESTIGATION INTO. THAT DEADLY SHOOTING. AT THE I.C.E. OFFICE. IN DALLAS. AUTHORITIES TODAY. RELEASING CHILLING. DETAILS ABOUT THE. GUNMAN WHO THEY SAY. WROTE HE WANTED TO UP. LEASH TERROR ON I.C.E. OFFICERS.

PLANNING HIS ATTACK ON. A DALLAS I.C.E. FACILITY FOR MONTHS. >> WHAT HE DID IS THE. VERY DEFINITION OF. TERRORISM. >> Reporter: THE FBI. SAYING THEY FOUND HIS. HANDWRITTEN NOTES, ONE. READING, HOPEFULLY, THIS GIVES I.C.E. AGENTS REAL TERROR TO. THINK IS THERE A. SNIPER WITH AP ROUNDS.

ON THAT ROOF? >> HE WROTE HE. INTENDED TO MAXIMIZE. LETHALITY AGAINST. I.C.E. PERSONNEL AND. TO MAXIMIZE PROPERTY. DAMAGE AT THE. FACILITY. >> Reporter: IN. ADDITION TO WRITING. ANTI-I.C.E. ON HIS. BULLETS, THE FBI SAYS. THE GUNMAN DOWNLOADED. A LIST OF DHS. FACILITIES, SEARCHED. APPS THAT TRACKED. I.C.E. AGENTS AND. COUNSEL DUCTED. SEARCHES FOR THE, QUOTE, CHARLIE KIRK. SHOT VIDEO. BEFORE INVESTIGATORS. SAY HE GOT ON TO A. ROOF ACROSS FROM THE.

I.C.E. OFFICE AND. STARTED FIRING. INDISCRIMINATELY, HITTING A VAN WITH. DETAINEES INSIDE, KILL. ONE, AND TAKING HIS. LIFE. A MAN WHO SAYS HE WAS. IN THE BOYS TROOP WITH. THE SUSPECT AS A TEEN. DESCRIBED A. CONVERSATION IN RECENT. YEARS. HE WAS UPSET HOW. PEOPLE WERE NOT. UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE'S. DESPERATION TO GET OUT. OF BAD SITUATIONS. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S. BORDER CZAR BLAMING. DEMOCRATS FIERCE. CRITICISM OF I.C.E. >> WHEN THEY HAVE --. SOMEONE WHO RAN FOR.

TEMPERATURE DOWN. >> WAS THERE ANYTHING. THAT YOU FOUND IN. TERMS OF AN INCITING. INCIDENT THAT LED HIM. TO COMMIT THIS ATTACK? >> PEOPLE COULD BE. MOTIVATED TO VIOLENCE. BY ANY NUMBER OF. GRIEVANCES. IN THIS CASE THE CLEAR. IND YOUCATION, MOTIVATION ARE HIS. WORDS. HE WANTED TO CAUSE. TERROR. HE WANTED TO HARM.

I.C.E. PERSONNEL. >> PRISCILLA JOINS US. LIVE. >> PRISCILLA, WE ARE. LEARNING ABOUT THE. PEOPLE INSIDE THAT. FACILITY WHEN THIS. HAPPENED? >> Reporter: YEAH, TOM. ONE WOMAN TO WHO WAS.

HURRICANE BY MONDAY, A. CATEGORY 3. BUT HERE IS THE. DEVELOPMENT ZONE WHERE. THE TROPICAL. DEPRESSION COULD. DEVELOP NEAR THE. BAHAMAS. THESE TWO SYSTEMS.

INTERACTING IS WHAT WE. CALL THE FUJIWARA. EFFECT. THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE. ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT AND. TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM. BUT RIGHT NOW THE. MODEL BRINGS IT ALONG. WITH THE CERTAIN. ATLANTIC COAST, IT. COULD MAKE POSSIBLE. LANDFALL ON THE. EASTERN SEABOARD. SOMETIME EARLY NEXT. WEEK. WE WILL CONTINUE TO. TRACK IT. BUT THIS IS STILL A. DEVELOPING SITUATION, TOM. >> WE WILL WATCH THIS.

THE FTC SUED AMAZON. SAYING IT HAD DUPED. CUSTOMERS INTO. SUBSCRIBING TO ITS. $139 A YEAR PRIME. MEMBERSHIP AND THEN IT. MADE IT TOO HARD TO.
