The new suv being called the worlds fastest and what it will cost you. We do say good morning to you, everybody, on this tuesday. We start with the breaking news out of Southern California. That deadly, fastmoving brush fire exploding overnight threatening homes, forcing thousands to evacuate. That fire has grown so quickly its now covering more than 10,000 acres as it races toward the city of ventura. About 8,000 homes have evacuated along with nearby Thomas Aquinas college. Power outages have been reported across an area spanning 40 miles. Kabc reporter leanne suter is on the front lines. Reporter this fire continues to rage out of control. Powerful winds helping fan the flames. You can see over my shoulder here just how much of a fire line were talking about. This is just one side of this massive brush fire. You can see the huge flames illuminating the hillsides here above santa paula, california. Fire trucks now lining the highway here as firefighters check on each and every one of these homes. We now know that this fire has turned deadl at least one person has died in a Traffic Accident apparently trying to flee the flames as the blaze continues to rage out of control. This blaze has charred thousands of acres, 10,000 acres so far and counting. We now know again that at least one person has died in an accident trying to escape the fire, and there are thousands of people now left without power as numerous power lines have come down. This blaze far from being under control. In santa paula, california, leanne suter, abc news. Thats the scary part there, leanne, thank you. Were going to continue to watch that. But were going to turn to washington and several developments in the russia investigation. President trumps former Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort may have jeopardized his bail agreement. Hes now accused of working with a russian associate as recently as last week. This as the president is now questioning the integrity of the special counsels office after word that Robert Mueller fired one of his top investigators for sending antitrump messages. Abc news has learned the mueller investigator peter strzok was also a key player in the Hillary Clinton email investigation. He helped draft former fbi director james comeys Public Statement clearing clinton of criminal charges. Comeys original draft said grossly negligent, which could be a crime, but sources say strzok urged comey to soften that language to extremely careless. This all comes as the president offers words of sympathy for his former National Security adviser Michael Flynn who is charged with lying to the fbi in connection with the russia investigation. Well, i feel badly for general flynn. I feel very badly. Hes led a very strong life. Reporter the president said he fired general flynn because he lied to the Vice President but this weekend a tweet sent from the president s account said i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the fbi. The president s personal lawyer john dowd now saying he drafted that tweet. Critics have said that could build a case for obstruction of justice, but dowd is testing out a new theory that a president cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief Law Enforcement officer and, therefore, has a right to express his view of any case. I think what the trump team is trying to do here is conflate the question of can he be charged with obstruction of justice ever with could he be charged with obstruction of justice for firing james comey . Meanwhile, overnight another revelation in the case against former trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort. Hes now accused of working with an individual connected to russian intelligence as recently as last week. In a court filing muellers team saying manafort and his russian counterpart were ghost writing an editorial despite a judges gag order.

And in the new filing muellers investigators are asking the court to revisit manaforts bail agreement. Manafort remains under house arrest.
