'They have violated everybody's constitutional rights,' says the co-owner of a New Jersey gym who was arrested after reopening. 'We all have the right to make a living... to actually do what we want to do as Americans. We are promised liberty.'
From CNN's Barbara Starr, Ryan Browne and Nikki CarvajalThree US Defense Department officials tell CNN that as of Tuesday night there is no indication they have seen that the massive explosions that rocked the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Tuesday was an attack, as President Trump indicated during a question and answer session with reporters at the White House.
One official pointed out that if there were indications anyone in the region pulled something off of this scale, it would trigger automatic increases in force protection for US troops and assets in the region if for no other reason than worry about retribution attacks.Earlier Tuesday, Trump offered sympathy and assistance to the people of Lebanon after the explosions, which left dozens dead and thousands injured, referring to the incident as a “terrible attack.
Trump said the country has a “very good relationship with the people of Lebanon and we will be there to help.”Asked if he was confident if the explosion was an attack and not an accident, the President said it “seems like” it was, based on what US military officials have told him.
