Michael flynn arrived at federal court this morning in d. C. Flynn served as National Security adviser until he was forced to resign in february after lying to the Vice President about meeting with a russian ambassador. Flynn today admitting his actions were wrong, saying in a statement, my guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the special counsels office reflect a decision i made in the best interests of my family and of our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I like general flynn. He served this country for a long time, but honor and effectiveness, its a sad day, but this is the way the system works. Reporter flynn is now the forth person charged in special counsel Robert Muellers sweeping investigation into Russian Election meddling and any possible ties to the trump campaign. That includes former Campaign Manager paul manafort, rick gates and george papadopoulos, a campaign aide. But this new charge against flynn represents the first direct tie to the trump white house. Today, the president s attorney, ty cobb, said in a statement nothing about the guilty plea or charge implicates anyone other than mr. Flynn. And Michael Flynn is the closest person to President Trump personally to face any charges in this investigation. Guys, you know he was part of his inner circle during the campaign and then made the transition, of course, to the white house where he was given the highest security clearance as National Security adviser.

These are live pictures this morning from the u. S. Senate where all of this action is happening. So senators right there working all morning to find the money to fix that trilliondollar hole. Now despite that hiccup, Senate Leadership says it has the votes to get the tax bill passed when it has the tax bill written. That could be as soon as today. Meanwhile, a real problem for those republicans pushing is is that nonpartisan agencies saying that plan wont work in the trilliondollar hole. Now, we would love to tell you exactly what it means for you. Were going to continue to give you analysis. We do that every morning. Weve been doing it for weeks but we havent seen it yet. Keep in mind, this is not the final done deal. The senate and the house have different versions. Those will have to come together. The president will sign it, we assume.

Continuing coverage now, the department of justice says it is looking into filing federal charges against Jose Ines Garcia zarate for the death of kate steinle.

Now the jury did find him guilty of illegal firearms possession. To brought the citys sanctuary city city policy into National Spotlight and reignited the immigration debate yet when the jury found the suspect not guilty of murder. As the fallout continues following the not guilty verdict, a memorial in Kate Steinles honor is set up at the pier where she was shot and killed in 2015. Nbc bay areas pete suratos joins us live from San Francisco. Pete, this verdict has a lot of people talking. What are people saying around where you oar . Reporter yeah, good morning to you, marcus.

The people passing by this morning that are here taking a look at this memorial are looking beyond the politics and remembering kate. A woman is no longer with us. Its just about that. Reporter and over the past two years, pier 14 has become synonymous with the murder of kate steinle. She was shot and killed as i mentioned by Garcia Zarate, an undocumented immigrant with a criminal past. His immigrant status coupled with San Franciscos sanctuary city policies made this a hot rod when it came to discussing immigration. Folks we talked to here today, at least this morning, want to keep the focus on the family. Im just sad. Its a sad day. And i just feel for the family. You cant bring her back, but you can learn from your mistakes.

Earlier, the president tweeted the Kate Steinle Killer came back and back over the weakly protected obama border. Always committing crimes and being violent, and yet this info was not used in court. His exoneration is a complete travesty of justice. Build the wall. There is a bill working its way through Congress Called kates law. Steinle family members say they dont like the name of the bill, but it would strengthen penalties against those who repeatedly violate immigration law. It is actually stuck in the senate right now.

Survivors, were told, the government cleanup of their properties would be done at no charge but will homeowners have to brace for another nightmare once they begin rebuilding ander. Senior Investigative Reporter vicky nguyen is learning what residents arent paying for now could cost them more time and money later. She joins us now to explain. Reporter at issue, how safe are the foundations underneath the homes that burned . The state says theyre toxic and structurally unsound. Thats why theyre taking out the foundations for anyone who opted in to the governments plan, but critics say its a one size fits all approach that will cost some homeowners extra time and money to rebuild. We had no idea they hadnt seen anything like that done before. Reporter these two neighbors say their experience could serve as a cautionary tale. Two years ago, the valley fire destroyed nearly 2,000 homes in lake county, including theirs. The state offered to remove debris from everyones lot, but the plan required all foundations to be removed, too because of concerns about contamination and structural safety. Its the same program being offered to people who lost their homes in octobers devastating firestorm in the north bay. So at the time, we did not know that removing the foundation would have such an impact. Reporter rob goodman opted in and crews took out his foundation. His lot remains empty two years later. Do you think you saved money by going with the Debris Removal Program . No, i know its cost us more money. Our costs for our foundation now went from approximately 54,000 to to 78,000. We had to replace the driveway, we have to replace the sidewalks. Pretty much everything thats being done now is because of what was removed. Reporter goodman says he had to fight with his Insurance Company to pay for the additional costs, which delayed construction. It looked just like that. Reporter meanwhile across the street, or armstrong just moved into his newly rebuilt home. Its the biggest relief in a couple of years now, to be back here. Reporter armstrong declined the government cleanup and hired a private contractor who kept his Homes Foundation and tested for contamination. He says it passed all safety inspections. And you are confident in the testing that was done to make sure its structurally sound and that the soil is safe . Oh, yeah. The one size fits all all foundations go is not necessarily the right solution. Reporter former Sonoma CountyPlanning Commission tom lynch helped armstrong rebuild. He says people should hire an engineer to test their foundations before agreeing to have it removed or theyll risk paying a lot more when they rebuild. Its going to cost you more, but i always tell people i want you to move into a house that you feel safe in and that it is going to last. Reporter todd tall hammer is a state engineer. After the wildfires destroyed 256 homes in lake tahoe, he came up with the blueprint for cleaning up debris on a mass scale. His plan was used why is it the policy to remove all foundations . Well, it comes down to a lot of things. The contaminants that are present. The damage the heat causes to the concrete. It comes down to the simple economics of it and trying to get all the debris off the ground in a safe, coordinated manner. Reporter weve learned that coordination comes with a cost to taxpayers. Armstrongs bill for debris removal was 18,000. Records from lake county show thats much lower than what the government paid to clean up home sites, an average of 63,000 apiece. Goodmans bill was even higher, 83,000. His insurance will by 55,000. The rest is build to the state and federal government. Thalhamer says the governments higher costs come from paying the prevailing wage and a premium for speedy cleanup of toxic materials and environmental testing. Were doing air sampling at elementary schools, middle schools, daycares, were running street sweepers and doing things for the community at the same time were cleaning up the homes. If this was your house burned down in one of the fires, would you have the foundation removed . Absolutely, as a matter of fact, i lost my childhood home in the valley fire and my second family home in the santa rosa fire. Ive personally signed off on 3,000 removals. Youre going to spend 300,000 to build yourself a brandnew home. Why is it that youre willing to look at 20,000 or 30,000 of possible expense and questionable concrete to put a brandnew house on it . Or twothirds of the homeowners in Sonoma County have opted into the government cleanup. County officials are still accepting applications on a case by case basis. The other piece of advice from the lake county fire survivors, break yourself for that cleanup bill and make sure your Insurance Company has paid you for everything you are owed before you turn in that bill.
