CABRERA: This just into CNN, the acting director of the FAA speaking about the President's decision to ground the Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9 jets. CNN's Tom Foreman joins us now. Tom, what did he say?</s>TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Ana, what he essentially said is that this morning, they did not have this new data that they have now, that led to this decision. Essentially, this is some more refined satellite data, as we understand it, which made them believe that this crash in Africa did indeed likely behave somewhat like the crash last fall in Indonesia, the Lion Air crash back then. By that what we mean, is they believe that this is an incidence in which the software on the plane was in disagreement with the pilots and essentially the plane started sort of porpoising like this, very hard to control. That's what they think happened. Now that said, they do not believe that the software fix, we've been talking about on the plane at this point, is the prerequisite for putting it back in the air. To the contrary, they had been hoping to have information from both the flight data recorder and the voice recorder, the so-called black boxes. Before now to help them with their decision, those boxes have remained so far in Africa they are going to France at this point. They will go there tonight and when they get data from that they believe they will have a better understanding of what really went on. But no real sign these planes are going back into the air until that data is in American hands -- Ana.</s>CABRERA: And now we're hearing almost an echo of what the Canadian officials have said. Their reasoning for grounding these flights today, now being echoed by American officials too. Tom Foreman, thanks for that update. More on this in just a moment. Also, former Trump campaign chair, Paul Manafort, hit with new charges in New York just minutes after he was sentence in a D.C. courtroom.
