I guess the rain probably not helping things but generally the rain is winding down. Most of your morning commute, the roadways are still wet from the rain overnight. At least it is not actively raining. Lets get to the radar and make sure what i said is true. Im pretty sure it is. A few leftover showers off to the east out towards annapolis pushing out towards the bay. We are winding things down across the immediate washington area. We are not expecting a whole lot of additional showers. There could be a sprinkle or a few light showers here over the next few hours. But then the trend will to be start to quiet things down and eventually clear things out. I think the clouds will hang tough for most of the Morning Hours and by afternoon, well be part hi sunny. Temperatures are nice and might partly sunny. Dulles, 60 degrees. High temperatures later this afternoon, back in the mid70s for much of the area so that will be nice. Upper 60s if you are north and west and once again, we should s
Dont have. If we stopped testing right now, wed have very few cases, if any. Im sorry. If you dont test, you dont have any cases. We tried to explain this before. What does he mean cases like officially, because people still have it. And theyre dieiying of it. Thats the remarkable thing. Thats incredible. The United States has 115,000 people who have died 117. 117,000 people who have died of coronavirus. And donald trump keeps saying that if we dont test for the coronavirus lets just stop testing. Then it will magically go away. We wont have any more cases. Actually, testing for the coronavirus does not kill people. Thats just like saying, you know, pregnancies are pregnancies would be driven down to zero if we stopped having pregnancy tests. So we have brought along willie geist to explain what the president of the United States was trying to mean yesterday. Willie, please explain it for us. Well, i think he meant exactly what he said, and how do we know this . He said it before. He j

According to a source close to sessions, quote, attorney general Jeff Sessions rejected a proposal by a Junior Campaign aide who offered to use his russian contacts to set up a meet between donald trump and v lead mir putin himself. He was not aware of anyone on the campaign who had communicated with russia. Heres what he told al franken in his confirmation hearing in january.
