Today, well get clearing, highs in the low 70s inland and 60s for the inner bay and along the coast. Heading to mike, youre checking in on a crash in the north bay. We had a solo car spinout wrk looking at slicker roads because of some of the fog. A new crash just reported on 237. I dont have details on which direction, stand by, but no slowing showing up yet. We had a lot of slowing out of the Robin Williams tunnel, but this was cleared up. Southbound now all slowing has cleared. Heading to the golden gate with a live look like this, fog in your face, and this will be a problem. Mist, you might need to use the windshield wipers and possibly make the roads slicker. Be careful. Thanks so much. Good advice there. 6 01 right now. New this morning, at least six people rescued after a fire at an Apartment Building in San Francisco.

But one cat was killed in the fire. At least three people are without a home this morning. Developing in the south bay this morning, firefighters investigating a couple strings of suspicious fires that broke out within a twomile radius in central san jose. Three fires were started around clark street and dorothy avenue early yesterday morning. Thep three more reported by willow and vine streets. Boone is live with Surveillance Video that could help investigators the case. Yeah, this could be a break. This could be a little break in this ongoing case. We have some Surveillance Video that may help investigators here just a little. You cant really see the person, the suspicious persons face, but this may help. Take a look at your tv screen. In the video, you see someone biking up to a dumpster. Thats on Willow Street near locust street. Moments later, the dumpster on fire. The suspect gets away with their face down, and just done the street, another fire burned the back of a liquor store. Crews responded to, get this, seven different fires in all right here in the same neighborhood. Pretty scary because i heard like an explosion. And there was like obviously glass in there, so i freaked out. I had to dial 911. Yeah, i can imagine he did freak out a lot of residents in the area. Ever since we have been here the last couple hours, they were asking if we have more details. Were giving as much as we can, but we are asking residents and investigators if you have seen anything that looks suspicious, contact them. Give them a call. This while investigators are saying theyre not as of yet connecting all of these fires to one person, but it sure is starting to look that way. Were live in san jose, rick boone. Best information often comes from the public. Lawyers for derriick almena hola pres conference today. Hes the master tentant and charged with the deadly ghostship warehouse fire. That will be on broadway street in oakland. Theyre expected to discuss charges against almena. Hes charging 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter, one count for each victim. An mailas attorneys call the charges a distraction from the real issue, what they say is a lack of affordable and safe housing in oakland. Heres his attorney from after he made his first appearance in court. Despite the strong emotions, we do not feel that the public good will be served by prosecuting our client. I think what he said was nonsense. All right, that comment right there came from a Family Member of one of the victims. In the meantime, max harris is the second person facing charges in the fire. He was just transported to the santa rita jail in dublin yesterday from los angeles where he was arrested. 6 04. Napa county officials will hold a ground breakingmony this afternoon for a new facility they hope will get former inmates on the right track. Its off the napa lay hoe highway not far from downtown and just across from a popular golf course. The goal for the 17 million project is to provide counseling and Job Opportunities for lowlevel offenders. Construction is slated to be finished by the summer of 2018. Developing overnight from our nations capitol, two Police Officers and a Government Employee are recovering this morning after they were struck by a speeding car in washington, d. C. The officers were actually patrolling on their bikes at the time late last night when the car hit them. The d. C. Department of transportation employee was also hit. All three were hospitalized. One officer was originally listed in Critical Condition. Hes since been upgraded to serious condition this morning. Two others are expected to be okay. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Live now to washington, d. C. The fallout continues this morning after former fbi director james comey testified in front of the Senate Intelligence committee. Comey admitted to leaking some of his personal memos and said he wanted the fbi to know the president had asked him to lift the cloud off the russia investigation. This morning, President Trump returning to old habits and taking to twitter, responding to the accusations. He said, quote, despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication, and wow, comey is a leaker. Today in the bays Edward Lawrence live in washington, d. C. To break down all of the overnight developments. Good morning, edward. Reporter good morning, sam and laura. That is exactly the sentiment that was echoed by President Donald Trump lawyer. In fact, this morning, nbc news is learning hes planning papers to file a complaint with the department of justice, Inspector General, and also the Senate Judiciary committee about the leaked memos, possibly trying to change the debate here in this. What james comey did in front of his testimony, he outlined nine conversations that made him feel uncomfortable with President Donald Trump. No. Under oath, former fbi director james comey explained why he took detailed notes after conversations with President Donald Trump. I was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting. Comey admitted he asked a friend to leak one of his memos to add more unleindependence to investigation. I asked him to because i thought it might prompt the appointment of a special council. Trump asked him to make a loyalty pledge to him. The president s personal attorney said comey confirmed the president wasnt a target of the probe and countered his accusations. The president never in form or substance directed or suggested that mr. Comey stop investigating anyone. President trump, not commenting. Mr. Trump, any reaction to comeys testimony . Thank you very much. House speaker ryan says this is all a misunderstanding. The president s new at this. Hes new to government. And so he probably wasnt steeped in the long running protocols. Its pretty clear that there was an attempt by the president to manipulate the director of the fbi. The investigation into russian meddling in the election as well as contacts with the russians is far from over. And nbc news has learned Jared Kushner will speak with senators about mid part of the month behind closed doors as their investigation continues.

She was already midfall. Investigators say the doors were open while some crews prepared some ruptured lines in that area. Be careful. Pay attention. Doesnt seem like it could do much damage, but clearly, you can. 6 14. Another weekend b. A. R. T. Closure for anybody planning to ride to oakland. Mike has been mentioning this. Lake merritt and the fruit vale stations and the rails between them are closed. Riders can use free shuttles to get around the closures. B. A. R. T. Said the closure will cause 20 to 40minute delays. Speaking of delays, if you are heading out to the sierra, youre going to want to listen to this. Theres a large mudslide that has closed part of highway 50 in eldorado county. It happened yesterday because of the rain. About 50 truckloads of debris fell across the highway there, covered portions of both the westbound and eastbound lanes of highway 50 between white hall and river ton. Mike said they have one lane moving back and forth there. Caltrans expects the highway to be closed for a few days. As you go to tahoe, you always have to pack your patience. Maybe good music.

Its owned by googles parent company, alphabet, for a number of years. You have seen these videos. They do look like dogs. They wall call one big dog. Often times theyll kick the robots to test them for stability. It always strikes me as sort of mean. Google is selling the company to a japanese outfit called soft bank. I really have no excuse to show you more video of the robots, but im not sure we cant run that on tv. Do keep in mind bananas. If the orobots take over. While everybody was watching the comey hearing, republicans in the housed to roll back some of the protections of dodd frank put in place after the big economic collapse. The most important thing they did was repeal the voker rule. Now, this bill passed along party lines. One republican member said no. This goes to the senate, but frankly, i think the senate is less likely to pass it as is. Wall street loves a good roll back of the rules. F futures call for a higher opening. Investors seem to be shrugging off the strange election in britain. Terresheresa may, who never got elected from the people the first time, called for an election to get a mandate. Failed to get a majority for here. She cannot remain Prime Minister unless her party finds another party to join. Really the worst outcome you can get. Britains elections never fail to surprise. All right, taylor swift back on spotify. She quit spotify and apple because she said all you can listen to format didnt allow listeners to value her music the way it should be valued. This would be like a chef who doesnt want his dish to be part of an all you can eat buffet. She has changed her mind and the music is available. I know its a tv trope to work a taylor swift song into the story so here are your choices. We are getting back together. You, spotify, belong to me, and the fight is over, they were able to shake it off. You can have any of those. The timing on this, taylor swift makes this announcement just as katy perry is releasing her new album. He thinks it has nothing to do with it. We had this dis cushion. Taylor swift is like the biggest pop star out there. Shes not intimidated by katy perry. I know theres beef there. Bad blood. Or katy perry roars, but yeah, i dont buy that. All i know is we have those ear bugs now. Thanks a lot. Another big weekend at the box office as were talking about pop culture. Tom cruise stars in the mummy, the reawakening of the monster mash.

Nbc bay area responds spent this week tackling a wide assortment of viewer disputes. Chris chmura is here with some of the more unusual cases you sent to us. Good morning. Were often successful getting viewers refunds, but sometimes its best for us to connect people with a specialist. Thats how we helped barbara in san jose this week. Shes being told she has to repay part of her late husbands pension due to a math error his union made. Wednesday, we put barbara in contact with Legal Support group that counsels people like her free of charge. We wanted to help a north bay woman who says a massage chain owes her money. But she didnt have any receipts or other documents we need to prove her case. We invited her to call back when she has documentation. Keeping records is a Good Practice for everyone, even if its as simple as snapping photos on a smartphone. Documentation was not a problem this week closing the case of michael, this is my favorite case of the week. He sent us papers and pictures of a duffel bag that an airline lost, found, and then ultimately said it shipped to him. Instead, he ended up getting a box here that is seven feet long.

Much to many peoples surprise, the president did not tweet at all yesterday during the comey hearing. Showed some discipline, but apparently, the president has something to say this morning, scott. He says hes veindicated, which is not what a lot of us saw in that hearing. What is the president talking about . Hes talking about comey testifying he did indeed tell the president several times the president was not under investigation. Not personally. Comey did testify he felt pressured by the president to end the investigation into michael flynn. So at the time, comey was fbi director, tells the president more than once not under investigation. President pressures comey to say that publicly. Comey says he didnt do it because it would be awkward if the fbi did start investigating the president. As for the accusation of pressure, this is a tough one that may be considered obstruction of justice. Comey says it happened, the president s lawyer says it didnt. Consistent with that statement, the president never in form or substance directed or suggested that mr. Comey stop investigating anyone, including the president never suggested that mr. Comey, quote, let flynn go, close quote. This is not a disaabout exactly what was said or cont t context. This is a disagreement it was said at all. This was super important. You have the former head of the fbi saying under oath in front of the u. S. Senate the president did something. And you have the president s personal lawyer saying he didnt. Somebody is simply not telling the truth. As sam and laura mentioned, the president did tweet, despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication, and wow, comey is a leaker. The president is speaking about a rather astonishing moment when comey blurted out he shared his notes about his meetings with the president with a friend, with the intention that friend would then give the notes to the new york times. It caught everybody off guard. The president calls that a leak. Comey says its a share. Keep in, this did come after he had been fired. He was a private citizen and sharing unclassified recollection. You can debate the term all you want. One way or another, its important. Peter alexander said minutes ago, the president is going to file a complaint with the Inspector General at the department of justice. For comey to leak is a shocker. He had been outspoken against leaks. I want to show you tape of comey seven days before he leaks or shares. At the time, hes still fbi director. Director comey, have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the trump investigation or the clinton investigation . Never. Little did he know four days later he would be fired, seven days later he would leak or share, take your pick. I lean toward leak, but it shows you how a simple word choice completely changes the narrative. Can you share your own personal notes . Was it a leak because it was a private conversation . I would love to hear what word you think is proper. You can contact me on twitter. A lot of insight into his intentions. Thank you very much. Appreciate that scott.
