The defense attorney said fattah failed to make a payment in full last november. He says fattah promised to make good on the payment but never did. Today fattah told the judge he supports his attorneys desire to withdraw because they cannot agree to the payment arrangements he wants which will require them to go without payment for an extended period of time. The congressman told nbc 10 last week he was focusing his Fundraising Efforts on his Reelection Campaign and would deal with his court case after the april election. The judge questioned that the motion to withdraw the law firm is attempt delay the may 2 trial. Both the attorneys and fattah deny any such motive. The issue is i cant meet a payment arrangement that requires me to short change my reelection effort, right, in order to meet a burden to pay a law firm for a trial that may or may not actually take place on may 2. Fattah says hes paid out 300,000 in legal fees so far. 110,000 of that he says to his current defense team. He says currently hes looking for a law firm that can work with his financial situation.

We expect melting every day, refreezing at night with colder temperatures at night. Milder as we go into the weekend so well be seeing our weather pattern changing a bit. Ill show you that in a second. Right now were at 44 degrees in the poconos, 41 in allentown, 45 in pottstown, westchester in the 40s now, 42 in reading, 49 philadelphia and bensalem, this is the area were currently seeing light rain. So we dont expect it to freeze on contact. 47 wilmington, 48 glassboro, 51 millville, 52 in Atlantic City. So heres a look at the radar, there you see the rain north and west of philadelphia, chester, montgomery, bucks counties and this will continue for a little while. Then i think well see it in new jersey and delaware later on this evening. So not a lot of moisture here to deal with but were seeing some light rain showers, right across 76 near east whiteland township, near phoenixville, the major interstates in Montgomery County like 476 and the p. A. Turnpike, norristown, hatfield seeing the light rain, and that continues into upper bucks county.

Its going to push into new jersey and delaware. We see it clearing up tomorrow. Here is future weather. Temperatures above freezing, and then later on tonight, 7 00 p. M. Were going to see a chance of showers but notice how most areas still above freezing. Then we go into 10 00 tonight, areas of new jersey and delaware i think would have the best chance for rain at this point. Maybe around philadelphia. But well have to watch this closely. I dont think temperatures will be dropping below freezing at this point for philadelphia or new jersey and delaware. But north and west we could see these numbers dropping down so well have to watch that closely for moisture that make extend that way tomorrow morning. As it looks 5 00 tomorrow morning most of the rain or possibly a wintry mix in cases could be in extreme south jersey and delaware. Well keep our eye on the moisture if its going to be continuing to spread north and west. Should be moving away. By afternoon will be around 40 degrees and drying, we go into thursday and thats where well see colder temperatures in the morning in the 20s, so refreezing. Still a chilly pattern as we go into the weekend. But look at whats going to happen. Well see a bit of a change, the jet stream starts to lift up farther to the north which means that well get the warm air to the south of it so early next week were talking about temperatures nearing 50 degrees. Tonight though scattered rain showers, a chance of a mix late tonight well be watching that moisture, for tomorrow an early chance, south philadelphia mostly with temperatures still in the 40s, well see sunshine later in the day, more melting, chance of flurries or light snow showers thursday, otherwise dry and milder into the weekend.
