Mexican drug cartel kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman once boasted about paying a $100 million bribe to the former president of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto. Alex Cifuentes spoke about the alleged bribe during his testimony Tuesday in Guzman's trial in New York. The Colombian, who has been testifying for days about things he learned about Guzman's gang while he was living at one of the kingpin's hideaways in Mexico, didn't provide many details about the bribery claim. He said the money was delivered by a woman named Maria in Mexico City. A spokesman for Nieto called the bribery claim "false and defamatory" when it first came up earlier in the trial. Nieto left office last year. Anchor Stefan Holt also reports on a stabbing in Queens, the latest in a dreadlock cutting controversy in New Jersey and the demolition of the old Tappan Zee Bridge.
