Former special Counsel Robert Mueller heads to capitol hill this morning for a day of testimony before two congressional committees. Itll be the first time he talks at length about the investigation of Russian Election meddling. The Trump Campaign, contacts, and his findings on obstruction of justice. Kufrzs Jana Katsuyama joins us now after talking to a bay area law professor who knows mueller, jana . Julie and frank, muellers former Justice Department colleague predicts mueller will stick to his report, which most americans probably have not read. Mueller will likely be asked why he followed policy and did not recommend charging a sitting president. But at the same time made a point of saying he could not exonerate President Trump of any crimes. Reporter Robert Mueller is scheduled to testify on capitol hill wednesday, spending three hours before the House Judiciary Committee in the morning and two hours before the House Intelligence Committee starting at noon. Hes a reluctant participant, stating in may he felt his 448page special counsel report was sufficient. The report is my testimony. Reporter uc hastings law professor rory little spent time with mueller in the Justice Department. I dont know anybody more controlled than bob mueller in terms of both being honest about his reactions but mouth about t. Reporter the u. S. Justice department has told mueller to limit his testimony to whats in the report and little says mueller likely will stick to it. Some people would be trying to, you know, stimulate him and get him see if they can get his temper going. Hes going to be on guard against that. Reporter the special investigation found evidence of russian interneerns the 2016 election and led to seven guilty pleas and 27 indictments, including some of President Trumps close advisors. Republicans will likely question the length of muellers near two year probe and highlight that muellers report said the investigation did not establish that member of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in its election interference activities. Ive heard all i need to hear from mueller. Ive read his report. I accept the findings. I dont think its going to change public opinion. Reporter democrats likely will point out that while mueller did not recommend charging the president with obstruction of justice, he did note that congress has the power of impeachment and stated while this report does not conclude the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. For most people, tomorrow will be the first time they hear bob mul aeros voice. We cant assume most americans know what happened. Mueller made a last minute request to have his aide sworn in by his side intelligence committees both decided instead mueller will be able to consult with the aide if needed so as not to detract from muellers time. Jana katsuyama, ktvu fox 2 news. And we will have live coverage of muellers appearance starting at 5 30 tomorrow morning on ktvu plus and ktvu. Com. Plus live updates during mornings on 2.

There were new calls for action in San Francisco today following a series of pedestrian and cyclist deaths. Safety advocates and their supporters gathered at city hall to demand an Emergency Declaration which would initiate emergency funding. They say that money could go toward lowering speed limits, installing better timed traffic lights, and scramble crosswalks which allow pedestrians to walk without cross traffic. They want police to step up enforcement on speeding, red light running, and stop sign violations. With the number of fatalities, pedestrian and bike fatalities, in San Francisco this calls for extreme action. Todays demonstration comes after a deadly crash in the tenderloin last sunday where a tourist was hit and killed and his wife seriously injured. All righty, then. Looking at the temperatures that we saw today and going to add a couple degrees to those temperatures tomorrow will be warmer inland. And thats the trend, really, for this hot inland valley weather to continue. Which is not what weve been seeing this year. Weve had an atypical summer thus far. Some warm days for sure, record heat, but we havent had that persistent mid90s inland, 40 degree spread between coast and inland. Well, thats going to happen here in the next four or five days. Mid90s inland, maybe upper 90s. Then the cool cand its a summen thatll stick for more than two days. Its going to be around for a little city. Its indicating that fog bank is minimal, very pinched down and hard to get onshore. Tomorrow morning when you wake up in berkeley and oakland, theres no fog. When theres no fog tomorrow morning, that means its going to warm up quickly. No low clouds, no significant onshore flow. We have a bit of a northnorthwest wind now. Its 72 in concord at this hour. 67 in livermore. And the heat is building. And as i mentioned earlier, in one of the earlier shows, down in the Central Valley theyre going to look for a heat advisory or warning toward the end of the week here. Theyve got a high heat watch going on down there that will most likely turn to a heat warning as we head into from about modesto south as we head into the end of the week here. Well be on the other end of it. The real heat is in the east side of this valley. The purples tomorrow, those are 100s. High is building from the east, so the heats going to hang on the east side of the sacramento, san joaquin valley. Were going to ours. Thats the temperature can roll. 98 in vacaville tomorrow. 96 in fairfield. Temperature forecast with these numbers. Not record setting stuff, we just havent really seen this. This is the first fiveday i can remember where weve had the mid and upper 90s rolling in the inland valleys every day. There you go. Stay cool. Use the airconditioner in your car and if you see smoke dial 911 if you see anything that looks like it could be a fire. Bill, thank you.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the launch of the telescope into space. Youre watching the 11 00 news on ktvu. On ktvu. Marks off tonight. Joes here. How about those San Francisco giants . You know, they just keep on rolling. Doesnt matter regular innings or not. Nineinning games have not been the norm for the giants as of late. They like to play more. And as long as theyre winning, theyre fine with that. Overtime again tonight with the cubs. You need supplies when going extra innings. If not food, something to keep you entertained. Chicagos darvish. Dickerson goes opposite field. What a find hes been batting. 350 with six home runs. That guy got a good souvenir. Two runners aboard, kevin pillar send one to the base of the wall in left center. Brandon crawford will score. So will mike. Giants in front 42. And all seems to be in order. Some were saying this could have been the last game at home for madison balm garner. He strikes out chris bryant. Went seven innings but was not involved in the decision. The cubs tied it, and for the fourth time in six games, the giants headed to extra innings. Garcia cant get the ball that just makes it over the fence for the 17th time in 20 games the giants are winners. 54 this time. Two games over 500 and two games out of the nl wild card. The as in houston where this youngster was ready for the outcome no matter how the game turned out. Scoreless in the second. Astros have a runner at first. Yuli gurriel lines one to center. Laureano, the ball gets by him. Gurriel turns on the speed. He slides into home with an insidethepark home run. A dive for the ball is what made it possible. When you run that much, you need relief from your teammates. Wade miley was cruising for eight innings. Roberto trying to nail it down in the ninth but matt olson puts one in the bleachers with a pair of runners on. Homer number 21 for olson. The astros tied it in their half of the ninth. In the 11th, the as put runners at first and second. Laureano ropes one down the left field line. That brings olson home. Mark canna also scored, but he was sent back to third when the ball was ruled a ground roll double. Houston out in the ninth and the as a 43 come from behind winners. And and we leave you with things to check out on this tuesday. Dallas keuchel had a respectable game tonight but not without an embarrassing moment. Making the routine throw back from the catcher not so routine. Shoelaces will get you every time. No decision for keuchel in the 54 royals win. At least hes smiling about it.
