The game started off fast as David Desharnais got a quick goal past Tuukka Rast off of a face off 1:14 into the first period. Eyewitness News spoke with several fans who said they are rooting for the Bruins during the big game on New Year’s Day.

To make up for the 2015 shortfall, the State Department said more emails will be released during the first week of 2016. Even so, the Republican National Committee slammed Clinton for keeping those emails on her private server.

One exception: a 2008 case still under investigation in Los Angeles.
Weeks after the decision not to prosecute Cosby in 2005, Constand sued Cosby for sexual battery.
