Justice Dept.: No Charges Against Baton Rouge Officers
CAMEROTA: Louisiana state police will now investigate the two Baton Rouge police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Alton Sterling after the U.S. Justice Department announced Wednesday that it will not file criminal charges. CNN's Nick Valencia is live in Baton Rouge with more for us. What's the latest, Nick?</s>NICK VALENCIA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Alisyn. This was an announcement that was anticipated by practically everyone here in Baton Rouge, which is perhaps why we saw no arrest last night or any major demonstrations. The Department of Justice announcing that after an exhaustive ten- month investigation, their findings did not reach the threshold for civil rights charges for these two officers involved in a shooting. At a press conference yesterday, the family was saying that they're not defeated. They struck somewhat of an optimistic tone. Their hopes now rest in the hands of the state attorney general's office, which will conduct an investigation at the state level. I was speaking to the family attorney for the Sterlings who told me that in DOJ's discovery, they told him that one of the officers involved, Officer Blane Salamoni, threatened to kill Alton Sterling before shooting him dead. They're hoping that this new information will help them seek justice at the state level -- Chris.</s>CUOMO: All right. Appreciate it, Nick. Thank you very much for that this morning. So, White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney insists the president's border wall is being built. In this climate, you got to reality check everything. So, he goes out there at this conference and starts pointing at walls and saying, "The Democrats didn't tell you we were going to build this, did they?" Then, Sean Spicer doubled down on that. So, CNN headed down to the Mexican border to find out the real story, next.
