interview airing sunday on this week. that the mob that day was vicious and called him racist slurs. he says he holds trump responsible. he needs to be able to accountable and that's why oh, ever all eyes, everyone the justice department right now. because they're the ones who can bring forth accountability. dunn says the events that day took a toll on his mental health. that moment in time hit me so hard. is because i have made such good progress. to heal and be able to deal with these emotions in these feelings. in a healthy manner and. you know, i could walk in and not be fazed by seeing uh, somebody in a maga hat. or a confederate flag. it wouldn't i've made such good progress. but it was all just like i don't know what just ripped away from me in september . he tweeted. i've been struggling the last few days. this weekend. i had a ptsd flare up. it was scary. today officer

members to oust him after he's elected, the house will return at noon. today but mccarthy is not setting a timeline for progress. so if this takes a little longer, and it doesn't meet your deadline, that's okay because it's not it's not how you start. it's how you finish. if we finish well will be very successful. the house remains paralyzed because members can't even be sworn in without a speaker. that means lawmakers don't get security briefings and paychecks for congressional staff members may also be delayed. now to the murder of those four college students in idaho. the suspect appeared in court as police for the first time reveal the evidence against him and now one of the victim's parents reacted to the latest developments. burger nodded as the judge read each of the four murder charges against him penalty for that offense if you plead guilty or found guilty is debt and or imprisonment for life. do you understand? yes father of caylee. gonsalves spoke out after coming face to
