00:00Supreme Court matter was not in effect could have charged anyone and did not.

00:06So on those two points, how do you respond? Look, the president has made it

00:11clear that he wanted these documents to be declassified. He wanted the American

00:14people to see the truth and now he wants those who perpetuated these lies in this

00:19scandal to be held accountable. As for what accountability looks like, as the

00:22director said, it's in the Department of Justice's hands and we trust them to move

00:26this ball forward. Who would agree that President Obama cannot be charged based on that immunity?

00:31Again, I'll leave that to the Department of Justice. Stephanie.

00:33In light of the Japan deal, are sectoral tariffs now up for negotiation with

00:38trading partners? And on a similar note, are these negotiators asking for investment funds,

00:42sort of like what Japan had agreed to? As for sectoral tariffs, I understand that

00:49the president continues to be in talks with our Secretary of Commerce. We have made commitments

00:53on various sectoral tariffs, as you know. The Department of Commerce has initiated studies

00:58to then move forward with implementing those sectoral tariffs. So I would defer you to them

01:02for further comment. Question there. Meredith. I wanted to ask if the White House has any update

01:07on the Commerce Department employee who's been detained in or banned from exiting China and if there are any

01:15efforts to get them out. I can assure you and the American people that the administration is

01:21actively monitoring the situation and engaged. But typically, we don't comment on individual

01:25cases like this as we are sorting them out. Sure. Behind you, Dr. Harper. Sorry. Go ahead. To the

01:32to the lady sitting down in the blue. Yes. What's your name? What's your name? My name is Caroline

01:37also. Caroline voted with the center square. Great. So Republicans in the Senate today said that they

01:43are pulling back on legislation to impose sanctions on Russia after the president said he wants to act

01:48unilaterally. Can you elaborate on what the president intends to do? Look, the president has been in

01:55very close communication with his friends in the Senate, particularly Senator Lindsey Graham on this

02:00issue. But the president has always maintained, you know, he's the commander in chief and the president

02:05for a reason. And he has been deeply involved in this conflict since the beginning. And so any decisions

02:12that are made with respect to sanctions, the president wants to reserve that authority and that right to

02:17himself. Thanks, Caroline. Two questions for you there. First on AI. Does President Trump support

02:24federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's AI company? I don't think so. No. Okay. So he would want

02:32the DOJ to then cancel the contract with you? I'll talk to him about it. Yes. And my second question,

02:37just, you know, obviously the developments with the Epstein case with the judge. But I wonder,

02:41has the White House, White House counsel, the DOJ explored any other documents that could be

02:47released to the public that don't have to do with that grand jury testimony? To my knowledge,

02:54the Department of Justice has moved forward with the request to unseal that grand jury testimony. And

02:58as you know, they have also moved forward with interviewing Ms. Maxwell, which I believe will be

03:04taking place very soon. Go ahead. Sure. Thanks, Caroline. I have a question about Paul Ingracia,

03:11the OSE nominee who faces a Senate committee hearing tomorrow. Tom Tillis said that he wouldn't vote

03:17for Ingracia if he came to the, if a vote came to the Senate floor. Two dozen worker advocacy groups have

03:24said that they wouldn't, you know, they don't support his nomination. What is the White House planning to

03:28do to sort of turn the tide or convince legislators that they should vote for him? The White House is always

03:34in communication with members of both the Senate and the House, and we stand by the president's nominees.

03:39Caroline? Sure.

03:40In connection with the Mueller investigation, a grand jury indicted 13 Russians.

03:48President Putin has said he will never extradite those men. Given the new information that Ms.

03:54Gabbard has found, what's the administration's position on that case? Should those charges be dropped?

03:59I don't have an update for you on that case, but I'll check in with the National Security Council and

04:03our team will get you something. Sure.

04:05Caroline, thank you so much. So Fannie Willis and Jack Smith separately,

04:08they both charged President Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States and a conspiracy to

04:13overturn the 2020 election. And now it turns out we're confirming that Obama and his cronies were

04:19doing that the whole time in 2016 on a massive scale, falsifying documents and having their intel

04:27agencies do this. What does this say about the 2020 election? And also, yeah, what's your thoughts

04:35on the irony here? There is a lot of irony, especially for the party of the Democrat Party,

04:42who claims to be for democracy. We often heard throughout the 2024 campaign, they were calling

04:48this president a threat to democracy. And now I think the declassification of all of these documents proves

04:53that they were indeed the true threat to democracy. And as I said repeatedly today, there needs to be

04:58justice and accountability for that. You all will hear directly from the president later this afternoon

05:03at the AI Summit here in Washington, D.C., scheduled to speak later in a few hours. So we will see you

05:08all there. Thank you very much.

05:19All right. As you see there, we were just listening in to Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt making those

05:25remarks during the White House press briefing. This is something that we have been awaiting for the last

05:30few hours as we knew that she was going to come out and address a number of topics. But of course, there

05:36was a surprise guest that showed up there as well. This is from the Office of the Director of National

05:41Intelligence, Director Tulsi Gabbard there under the Trump administration, also appearing at this

05:47White House press briefing, addressing a number of comments, namely to have to do with the recent Trump

05:52administration reports that have been aimed at scrutinizing the years old intelligence community

05:57conclusions about the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election in favor of

06:05Donald Trump. Of course, we know for years President Trump has spoken out, calling it disinformation,

06:11calling the entire Russia investigation a, quote, hoax, despite some of the evidence that did come out

06:17of the initial investigation. But again, it was on Friday that the ODNI published a press release

06:23asserting that its director, Tulsi Gabbard, revealed overwhelming evidence that President Obama and his

06:29national security officials, quote, manufactured and politicized intelligence in order to launch

06:35a years-long coup against President Trump. Gabbard, of course, has spoken out very loudly on some of

06:42those things, including speaking out on Twitter as well. So we did want to bring that to you here on

06:49Live Now from Fox. But again, this was the White House press briefing addressing some of those claims as

06:55well. So we just lost our shot there. But of course, we are going to continue on here on Live Now from

06:59Fox with our coverage of today's top stories. We also have some breaking news that we want to get to

07:05as well as it pertains to Jeffrey Epstein. I want to go ahead and continue to let you know that this

07:11report just now coming out that a judge has since denied the Justice Department's request

07:16to release the Epstein transcript. This came all from a judge in Florida. So do want to put up this

07:23tweet that we have from some of our partners there at Reuters saying, Justin, the U.S.

07:27judge rejects that bid to unseal the Epstein grand jury transcripts. This all came from a Florida

07:34probe. And so it's been something that we've been following very closely here on Live Now from Fox.

07:39But the judge did decide to rule today to not release the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey

07:46Epstein files. This is the first ruling in a series of attempts by President Trump's administration

07:51to release much more information about the case. So this initial request did stem from federal

07:59investigations and to Epstein back in 2005 and 2007, according to those court documents.

08:07So what we also know here, the Justice Department has pending requests to unseal transcripts

08:13in Manhattan federal court related to the later indictment that was brought against Epstein and

08:18his former associate, Glenn Maxwell. So we've been following this very closely here on Live Now

08:24from Fox. We've been getting some of those updates as they've been coming into our newsroom. But

08:29ultimately, the U.S. District Judge found that the Justice Department's request in Florida did not

08:35fall into any of the exceptions to the rules requiring grand jury material be kept secret. So if anything else

08:43comes out of this, we will certainly bring it to you here on Live Now from Fox. But of course, we have

08:46been following this very closely, hearing from President Trump and many others as this has been

08:52going on as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein. Want to put this picture of the late financier up on your screen

08:58now? Of course, we ultimately know that he did die in prison. But as this is continuing to unfold,

09:04once we get more updates and again, we learn more about those questions that the Trump administration

09:10does plan to ask his former, his former person very close to him, Ghislaine Maxwell will certainly

09:17bring it to you. All right, let's take this time to slide away for a two minute commercial break.

09:22Stay right here on Live Now from Fox.

09:52Stay right here on Live Now from Fox.

13:00I'll be right back.

13:02has agreed to plead guilty in this case.

13:05I want to continue on here as we're discussing some of those details.

13:09Knowing that in court Placentia only spoke to answer the judge's question

13:14when he asked if his lawyers had considered all the possibilities

13:17of pleas and sentencing in the case Placentia simply replied,

13:22they've considered everything.

13:24So showing is just some video that we have there of the late doctor.

13:28But ultimately, we do know that according to the doctor's attorney,

13:32Dr. Placentia says that he is profoundly remorseful for the treatment decisions

13:37that he made while providing ketamine to Matthew Perry.

13:41He said that he is fully accepting responsibility by pleading guilty to drug distribution.

13:46Dr. Placentia intends to voluntarily surrender his medical license,

13:51acknowledging his failure to protect Mr. Perry,

13:54a patient who was especially vulnerable due to his addiction.

13:57And that's all a quoted statement there on behalf of Dr. Placentia from his attorney, Deborah White.

14:04But again, ultimately know that Placentia had previously pleaded not guilty,

14:09but in exchange for the guilty pleas, prosecutors have agreed to drop three additional counts

14:14of distribution of ketamine and two accounts of falsifying records.

14:19Prosecutors, though, ultimately outlined the charges in court before the plea and said that

14:24he did not sell Perry the dose that killed the actor.

14:29They described, though, that Dr. Placentia admitted that Perry froze up and his blood pressure

14:34spiked when the doctor gave him one injection. But Placentia still left more ketamine for Perry's

14:40assistant to inject. In court, though, we don't know that Matthew Perry was simply referred to only as

14:47his victim. These charges, though, can carry a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, and there is no guarantee

14:54that Dr. Placentia will get less, but he is likely to. He has been free on bond since shortly after his arrest

15:01came back in August and will be allowed to remain free until his December 3rd sentencing. But putting this

15:08back there up on your screen, this was the breaking news and from the Associated Press that the doctor

15:13has now pleaded guilty to selling ketamine to Matthew Perry in the weeks before the actor's death.

15:18He again becomes the four of five people ultimately charged in connection with the death of the actor

15:26Matthew Perry. So we did want to get that in for you here on Live Now from Fox. We're going to continue

15:31on with other top stories and things after this two-minute commercial break. Stay right here with us.

15:38my

15:49deal

15:50you

21:08We want to express our deepest gratitude for their strength and resilience during this challenging time.

21:14We will honor their loved ones' memories and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring their lives are not forgotten.

21:21This investigation, one of the most complex and high-profile cases in our state's history was made possible by an extraordinary level of collaboration.

21:32From local and state police officers, from local police officers, it also took immense courage, patience, and resilience from a grieving community whose role was invaluable.

21:50From the very beginning, Moscow police department and our law enforcement, Moscow police department and our law enforcement partners never lost sight of the mission, which was to bring justice for the victims and their families, and to hold accountable the person who committed these horrible crimes.

22:07Despite the complexity of the enemy's niinouri you anyway, despite the prisoners, our team, and our team never gave up to our~], our team never wavered.

22:13They never gave up.

22:14And we completed the mission.

22:16During this investigation, I was fortunate to witness the level of professionalism, expertise, drive, and passion

22:24that each member of the investigative team brought to the overall effort.

22:30And it was truly awe-inspiring.

22:33To all who came to our aid and assisted in this immense undertaking, I cannot express my gratitude enough.

22:40We are forever thankful.

22:42And I would be remiss if I did not thank the amazing communities of Moscow and the University of Idaho.

22:49For weeks on end, during this investigation, the support you provided to our team was greatly appreciated.

22:56The numerous phone calls, letters, and seemingly endless stream of food helped keep our spirits high and encouraged us to press on.

23:05Today, we want to provide an opportunity to hear from the key agencies involved in the investigation, prosecution, and overall response to this case.

23:16Each agency played a vital role in pursuit of truth and accountability.

23:21Further remarks will be provided by the Latow County Prosecutor's Office, followed by the Idaho State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Office of the Attorney General.

23:33Each speaker will provide brief comments, followed by a limited Q&A session.

23:38With that, I'd like to introduce Latow County Prosecutor Bill Thompson, representing the Latow County Prosecutor's Office.

23:44Thank you, Anthony.

23:50Welcome, everybody.

23:52It's been a long time since we've been able to stand in the same room together, and you have to listen to me talk.

23:58I'm sorry.

24:02First off, I want to thank the folks here in Ada County.

24:05I can tell you I would much prefer to be in Latow County right now and be able to talk to the people most directly impacted by this.

24:18But Ada County has been a phenomenal support and protector for the integrity of this case, and I just want to send that shout out right now.

24:26So today, you are all, I think, listening in, either in person or with the live stream.

24:36We have reached the conclusion of the judicial process, and we believe we've achieved accountability and finality and certainty for everyone who has suffered from this so we can try to move on.

24:51As you are aware, Mr. Koberger pleaded guilty to all five counts of the indictment.

24:59He pleaded guilty as charged.

25:02There was no plea bargain to change charges, drop charges.

25:08He pleaded guilty straight up, and he admitted under oath to Judge Hibbert.

25:14All right, as you see there, did want to bring that to you, but it does appear that we had a lapse there in the feed there that was given to us.

25:27What we're going to do is see if we can get that back up for you and continue to listen in.

25:31Let's see if we can do that here on Live Now from Fox.

25:34On this. Thank you.

25:41Thanks, Bill.

25:43Good afternoon, everyone.

25:44I'm Colonel Bill Gardner, director of the Idaho State Police.

25:48To the families, your courage and strength throughout this painful process, it indeed kept us moving forward.

25:55Your strength, and particularly your love for one another, was inspiring, and it motivated all of us.

26:01You've carried a burden no one should ever have to bear.

26:06This investigation demanded the very best from everyone involved.

26:11Crime scene teams, forensic scientists, intelligence analysts, and investigators answered the call with professionalism, precision, and resolve.

26:21They did not do it for recognition.

26:23They did it because four innocent lives were taken.

26:27And the victims and their families deserve nothing less.

26:30It is clear this case required a team approach.

26:34Not only did the Moscow Police Department, the Lataw County Sheriff's Office, the Idaho State Police, and the FBI come together quickly,

26:41but others provided significant assistance behind the scenes.

26:45I'd like to highlight a few of those.

26:46I personally want to thank Colonel Parris of the Pennsylvania State Police.

26:52Once this case moved across the country, the Pennsylvania State Police went out of their way to provide resources and support while our people were on the ground there.

27:02Also, it's important to note that from the moment this case began, Governor Little was fully supportive of the investigative process.

27:10He provided funding and support to make sure the job was done right.

27:15And finally, as was already mentioned, the Idaho Attorney General's Office provided significant input and help during the preliminary motions.

27:21We relied heavily upon their expertise as we moved throughout this whole process.

27:27As law enforcement officers, we often say that this is more than a job.

27:30It's a calling.

27:32This case reminds us why we answer that call.

27:36Why we stand for victims.

27:38Why we fight.

27:39In this case, why we fight pure evil.

27:42And why we keep going.

27:44Even when the road is long and answers are hard to find.

27:47In this horrific case, I am proud of the work that was done and the people who carried it out.

27:53They exemplify the very best of our profession and help to bring closure to four families.

27:59I'll now turn the podium over to Salt Lake City FBI Field Office Supervisory Senior Resident Agent Brett Grover.

28:10Good afternoon.

28:11My name is Brett Grover.

28:12I'm the Supervisory Senior Resident Agent in our Coeur d'Alene Office of the FBI, which is part of our FBI Salt Lake City Division.

28:20On behalf of the FBI, we offer our deepest condolences to the families of Madison Mogan, Kaylee Gonsalves, Xander Canoodle, and Ethan Chapin.

28:31The culmination of this case was a long time coming.

28:34And we hope the victim's families and friends have some sense of peace in knowing that Brian Koberger is being held responsible and accountable for his heinous actions.

28:45The FBI is proud to have supported the Moscow Police Department in the state of Idaho with the investigation and prosecution of this case.

28:53Countless hours have gone into this investigation.

28:55The FBI dedicated significant resources to include digital and forensic analysis, intelligence support from our folks at FBI headquarters and field offices around the country, and victim services, which continue to this day.

29:10Today's sentencing also demonstrates how the responsible use of investigative genetic genealogy, or IgG, can transform a crime scene into accountability and closure.

29:21The IgG process involves the use of DNA analysis, combined with traditional genealogy research to generate investigative leads for unsolved violent crimes.

29:33In late 2022, IgG provided a crucial investigative direction for investigators working in this case.

29:39But I want to be clear, IgG was just one tool that led us here today.

29:44It's a powerful complement to the core investigative work done by both the FBI and our partner agencies.

29:51The bottom line is that successful cases like this are about strong partnerships and a shared goal, the goal of keeping our communities safe and providing a measure of justice for the families of our victims.

30:05I'll now turn the time over to the Attorney General for the state of Idaho.

30:13Good afternoon.

30:14I'm Raul Labrador.

30:15I'm the Attorney General of the state of Idaho.

30:17I'm Raul Labrador.

30:47I'm Raul Labrador.

31:17again walk free. In fact, he will never harm another family. I want to extend my

31:24deepest gratitude to Prosecutor Bill Thompson, whose steady leadership has

31:30guided this case from the beginning, to the people of Laita County for their

31:35trust and commitment to justice, and to the state of Idaho, and to the state,

31:41also to the local and federal law enforcement communities who have been

31:45focused on bringing justice for the victims. I also want to recognize Jeff

31:51Nye, who's the chief of my office's Criminal Law Division, and the team of

31:56attorneys in my office who work side-by-side with local prosecutors.

32:00Their contributions were quiet, but vital. They helped protect the grand jury's work,

32:06they pushed back against legal challenges, and successfully defended the use of

32:12advanced forensic tools that helped identify Kohlberger. These were

32:17groundbreaking legal efforts done with resolve, with care, and in the name of

32:23public safety. Their outstanding legal work spared the families and the public

32:29from a drawn-out painful trial that would have reopened wounds and prolonged the

32:35family's agony. When I became the Attorney General two and a half years ago, I

32:39interviewed Jeff Nye. He was not the chief of the Criminal Division at the time, and I

32:43asked him if there was anything he would change in the Office of Attorney General.

32:47If you get to know Jeff, he had a long list. It was a very long list of things that he

32:52would change in the Criminal Division. But the first thing he talked about was the

32:56fact that our office was not helping local prosecutors with their prosecution. It was a

33:03take-it-or-leave-it kind of approach. We either took the case and handled all the matter, or we did

33:10nothing at all. And he said that there were important cases where we could actually assist in the Office

33:15of Attorney General. It's one of the reasons I hired him to be my chief of the Criminal Division,

33:20and I think today culminates the wise decision that he had to make those changes and the important

33:27change that we made in the office. This moment didn't come easily. It was the result of tireless effort,

33:32careful preparation, and unwavering pursuit of the truth. Behind the scenes, our legal teams worked

33:38diligently to defend dozens of legal challenges. Their efforts not only helped ensure a just outcome,

33:45they also spared the families and the community from the painful trial and endless appeals that would

33:52have reopened deep wounds. To the families of Madison, Kaylee, Zanna, and Ethan, no
