<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio re defining local.

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 2>News in Boston. Right now. It is seventy nine degrees

3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 2>at eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening.

4
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 2>We're starting in New York where the jury it's just

5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.359
<v Speaker 2>delivered its verdict in the sex trafficking and racketeering trial

6
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 2>of Sean Ditty Combs. Jurors found the rap mogul not

7
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 2>guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. They did convict

8
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 2>him on two prostitution charges. Let's get more in the

9
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>CBS News special report.

10
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 3>The federal jury in New York has acquitted Sean Diddy

11
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 3>Combs of the most serious charges against him. CBS is

12
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 3>Jureka Duncan.

13
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 4>The jurors found that he was guilty of the Man Act,

14
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 4>that is the transportation to engage in prostitution, but they

15
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 4>found him not guilty on sex trafficking, very serious charge there,

16
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 4>and not guilty on that racketeering conspiracy, which he could

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 4>have spent up to life in prison.

18
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 3>For two counts he was convicted of each carry a

19
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 3>maximum sentence of ten years in prison, but no minimum.

20
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 3>CBS News Legal contributor Caroline Policey.

21
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 5>Given his prior history, he doesn't have any prior convictions.

22
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>He could get away with time served, even a.

23
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Couple of years.

24
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 5>I mean, this is one of the best possible outcomes

25
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 5>that they.

26
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Could have hoped for.

27
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 3>After the verdict was red, Combs held his hands up

28
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 3>in a prayer motion and hugged his defense lawyer. The

29
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 3>judge is now deciding whether to release Combs from custody.

30
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 3>That could come perhaps as soon as today. That decision

31
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.159
<v Speaker 3>CBS News special Report.

32
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm Michael Wallace, and when it does, we will update

33
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>you right here on WBZ News Radio and streaming on

34
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app. It's eleven oh one and President Trump's

35
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>spending bill is now back before the House. Republicans are

36
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 2>hoping to capitalize on the bill's momentum coming out of

37
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the Senate as they try to pass it before the

38
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>President's deadline of July fourth. ABC's Freen and Alley has

39
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 2>more on what's in this massive, light, slightly changed bill.

40
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 5>The bill includes four trillion dollars in tax cuts and

41
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 5>eliminates taxes on tips in overtime. It boosts border security,

42
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 5>and it imposes work requirements on Medicaid. The bill also

43
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 5>restricts eligibility for food stamps. The bill would also effectively

44
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 5>phase out renewable energy tax credits, and would change student

45
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.319
<v Speaker 5>loan programs, phasing out certain payment plans and capping some

46
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.400
<v Speaker 5>federal loans. One thing not in the bill a provision

47
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 5>that would have blocked states from regulating artificial intelligence. Senators

48
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.120
<v Speaker 5>scrapped that idea.

49
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>House Democrats still pushing back against the bill. Speaking on

50
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>the steps of the Capitol this morning, House Democratic Leader

51
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Hakim Jeffries said his fellow party members would do everything

52
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 2>in their power to try and stop that legislation. Republicans

53
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 2>do hold a slim majority in the House, and here

54
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts. Garbage lining the streets of at least fourteen

55
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>towns this morning as trash collectors spend another day on

56
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 2>the picket lines. Hundreds of union employees at Republic Services

57
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>are on strike. They're demanding better wages and benefits, but

58
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>now Republic is accusing them of criminal behavior. They say

59
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>those on strike have been slashing tires and sabotaging trucks

60
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>used by replacement crews. The workers say they're fighting back

61
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 2>against a company that's not willing to budget negotiations, Republic

62
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>says their tactics are going too far. WBZ News Radio

63
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>has reached out to the Union and police for comment.

64
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 2>So far we have not heard back. There is a

65
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>bit of rain out there still in southeastern Massachusetts, but

66
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>we are going to start clearing out throughout the afternoon.

67
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Temperatures right now in the seventies and low eighties. We'll

68
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>get up to about the mid to upper eighties later

69
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 2>on today in the seventies though if you're on the

70
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 2>capein Islands for tonight, gradual clearing with a loan near

71
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>seventy on the coast and mid sixties inland. For tomorrow,

72
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>could have another round of storms in the afternoon and

73
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>evening with a high just about ninety eighty to eighty

74
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 2>five for the capein Islands, so slightly cooler but not

75
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 2>by too much. Then the fourth of July mostly sunny,

76
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 2>looking great, not as humid, a high in the mid eighties,

77
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>mostly in the seventies on the capin Islands, and that

78
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>nice weather carries over into the weekend. Right now, showers

79
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>at the Cape Cod Canal in Sandwich. It's seventy three

80
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 2>west of Boston. Just some clouds in Southborough seventy nine

81
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 2>north of Boston, eighty one in North Reading, and in

82
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Boston at eleven oh six it is partly cloudy and eighty.

83
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>A retired judge from Worcester says a deeper federal investigation

84
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>has to be done into the killing of Harmony Montgomery.

85
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Carol Erskine met with the FBI in the New Hampshire

86
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 2>US Attorney yesterday. During that meeting, handing over information from

87
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 2>her own probe into the young girl's death. Harmony's mother,

88
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Crystal Sorry, sued the state last year, accusing social workers

89
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>of ignoring signs of abuse. Erskinelcybs News Boston. She thinks

90
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 2>the state settled with her to take the spotlight off

91
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 2>the Division of Children, Youth and Families.

92
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 6>There were seventeen other reports of abuse, for the most part,

93
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 6>weren't investigated, and family members and neighbors and people were

94
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 6>calling in dcf DCYF wasn't investigating, so that was an

95
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 6>issue for me.

96
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Harmony's father, Adam, was convicted of several charges in the

97
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>five year old's death, including murder and disposing of her

98
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 2>her corpse. Her body has never been found. The Trump

99
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>administration is holding back almost seven billion dollars that had

100
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 2>been set aside for schools nationwide.

101
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 7>The federal money allocated by Congress was to help pay

102
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 7>for things like summer school, after school programs, helping students

103
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 7>learn English, and other services. Schools were expecting the money

104
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 7>on Tuesday, but in an email Monday, the Education Department

105
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 7>notified state agencies that it would not be available and

106
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.120
<v Speaker 7>that funds were under review. The move is likely to

107
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 7>be challenged in court by critics who point out that

108
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 7>the money had been appropriated by Congress. I'm Michael Cassner.

109

<v Speaker 2>And a local federal judge. SA's recent mass layoffs of

110
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Health and Human Services were likely unlawful. Here,

112
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Providence, Rhode Island based US District Court Judge Melissa Dubos

113
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>ordered the government to halt plans to downsize and reorganize

114
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the department. She ruled in a lawsuit brought by attorneys

115
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>general from nineteen states and the District of Columbia. The

116
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>judge said the states had shown they would suffer quote

117
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 1>irreparable harm from the layoffs, and they were likely to

118
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 1>prevail in their claims that the firings were quote both

119
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 1>arbitrary and capricious, as well as contrary to law. Christopher Cruz,
