the beginning of the end of this pattern. finally moving out. the rain will not be a feature, we don't think, in the afternoon, and that will open the door to much better conditions here on sunday. be happy to share this weekend and the next 10 days with you coming up in a few minutes, alison. alison: thanks. take storm watch 7 wherever you go. you can download it from google play and i be tunes. >> abc 7 has been following the story ever since it broke tuesday evening. the firing of f.b.i. director james comey. that sent shock waves through the bureau and washington. the white house said president trump made the decision based on recommendations from his attorney general and deputy a.g. then we find yesterday president trump himself said he made up his mind before his top department of justice officials even weighed in which was a contradiction. that brings us today, a flur of tweets. here's the question for you -- do you think the president is tweeting too much? you can weigh in by going to wjla/votenow to weigh in yourself. the president is now considering several candidates to replace comey. >> should the president be believed that he may have secret tapes of james comey? the white house would not say. >> recording devices in the oval office or residence? >> there is nothing further to add to that. >> the questions prompted by the president's own tweets. james comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. >> the president with his tweets this morning borders on intimidation. what we're facing now whether there is obstruction of justice. >> but that wasn't the only tweet from the president that seemed to make the situation worse for the white house. president trump also argued he's very active so it's not possible for his staff to answer questions with perfect accuracy. and then president trump suggested he may cancel all future press briefings. the white house would comment on one issue -- disputing the dinner to pledge his loyalty to mr. trump. >> i think the president wants loyalty to this country and to the rule of law. >> but on msnbc, the former director of national intelligence said comey told him he was weary about accepting the president's invitation to dinner. >> he mentioned that he had been invited to the white house to have dinner with the president, and that he was uneasy with that because of even compromising even the optics, the appearance of independence, not only of him but of the f.b.i. >> and the member of the house oversight committee has now formally requested that they provide any tapes as part of their ongoing inquiry so we may learn if tapes do in fact exist or if the president is bluffing in that tweet. >> we are joined by former f.b.i. agent brad garrett for how this week shaked up the agency this week. it's good to get your perspective. there saying wait a second, is it a big deal to fire the director of the f.b.i.? it's well within his power to do so. brad: yes. you have to look at the reason why he fired him. they used the cover of hillary clinton's emails. nobody actually ever brought that. the optics of it is really poor. it's apparent to most of us, current and retired agents, that this has everything to do with the russian investigation. >> but just because you fire the head of that agency does not mean that investigation stops. there are a lot of agents below him. a lot of people look at him as a political figure anyway. there are a lot of agents underneath that are carrying out this investigation. it doesn't change the trajectory of this investigation, does it? brad: not at all. you are talking about 12,000-plus f.b.i. agents, 36,000 f.b.i. employees. divide it up into various divisions, you have an x number working on the russian situation. they're continuing to work. my guess they worked today, director probably had discussions but kept going. that's the reality here. you are not going to be able to shut this down. >> i'm sure you worked alongside a lot of f.b.i. agents. you have a pretty good idea of the barometer how people feel morale-wise. was it time for fresh air and a new change regardless of the circumstances surrounding why he was fired? brad: i don't think anybody thought he should have been fired. clearly there will be people that don't agree with his policies but the reality is honest, hardworking, extremely competent, has worked in the justice system since the 1990's, really knows his stuff and he's a very positive promoter of the f.b.i. so i don't know i see any reason at all other than maybe the obvious as to why he got fired. >> all right. interesting perspective. brad, we appreciate you taking the time. joining us this afternoon. abc 7 does have everything you need to know about this wild week in washington. just go online it our website, wjla.com. search comey when you're there and you'll see our ori the last week. at least 74 countries have now been hit by a huge cyberattack. it's disabled more than a dozen hospitals in the united kingdom. also hit, spain's largest telecom company, colleges in italy and some fedex computers and this just crossing the wires. russia's interior ministry says it has come under cyberattack as well. as of now, the attack hasn't hit the u.s. of course, abc 7 will stay on top of this and bring you more information once we get it. alison. alison: ok, michelle. thank you. also breaking right now, sky track 7 is over a crash in silver spring. a car running off the road at and into a person. it hit the pole first. hopefully slowing it down before hitting that person but right now we have no word on the victim's condition. >> a judge issuing a bench warrant for kenneth kelly. in march driving drunk and causing a crash that killed five people in prince george's county. today he did not show up to court for a sentencing. and coming up on abc 7 news at 6:00, we'll hear from angry family members from the victims of that crash. >> and also developing right now, new video of the man arlington police say is a sex assault suspect. he posed as a maintenance worker to get into this woman's apartment and that's when the assault happened. stephen with more of this video. stephen. stephen: nancy, we've learned within the past hour or so that occupants of a nearby apartment building received a warning from their management company. this afternoon what happened sunday and now we have something police believe took place this weekend at this apartment complex just prior to the assault nearby sunday morning as well. the suspect in a brutal beating and sexual assault made another building. surveillance video shows the man identified as the suspect tried to enter a code minute yum building from a few -- condo building from a few blocks. when he got into her building he posed as a maintenance man going door-to-door knocking. the woman opened the door and that's when he attacked her. in the video released, we see the man follow a person into a condo building on carlton but the conseerge stops him and has him turn away. they see him walking down in the direction of the condo where the woman was assaulted. now, after release of this new video and very clear images of the suspect's face, a lot of people here hoping an arrest comes soon. reporting live, stephen tschida, abc 7 news. >> that video is on the abc facebo video so more people can help identify that man. and with mother's day approaching this holiday is going to be particularly hard for one d.c. family. a popular figure in southeast caught in the cross fire with no arrest today. sam ford spoke with her son. sam: at a spot where she died last january there is a collection of bottles but she didn't drink. there is a wheelchair, her coat and her son. >> i haven't cried yet so there's a hole. there's a big hole in my soul. i pretty much know everybody in my family feel the same way. sam: it was martin luther king day. police video shows one man chasing another firing a gun as a bullet hit her killing her. her wheelchair spins. the intended target gets away. police have not but the son says detectives told him they were holding someone on a parole violation they believe was the shooter, but the target who was eventually hospitalized will not talk. he's scared. >> if he tried to kill you what are you scared of? if you get out the hospital, whatever, they are going to come and try to kill you again? somebody needs to be charged. somebody needs to be held accountable to it. sam: he says he doesn't know who put this wheelchair's here. it wasn't his mother's. it was motorized. it's still a powerful symbol. marrow says he rejects the cliche that she's in a better place. >> she should have been in her bed right now waiting on mother's day to get some balloons, not right here. she should be getting balloons and flowers in her room. >> in southeast washington, i'm samford, abc 7 news. >> a townhouse goes up in flames. now police are searching for the man who was seen leaving the home hours before it was destroyed. the fire broke out overnight on the police said the man who lived there was set to be evicted this weekend and people saw him leave around overnight with several pieces of luggage. it displaced two families. >> coming up next at 4:00 for us, if you want to quit your job -- well, you're not alone. >> also, a million trucks being recalled? nancy: and also this -- >> a local politician pleads guilty to drunk driving but the couple he hit says it's not quite enough. nancy: if you think the weather this spring is severe you're right. the weather team breaking down the strong storms that's hit our area, next. alison: attorney general jeff sessions is ramping up the war on drugs. he's asking officials to slap them with the most charges they can. it stops an obama era policy to curve penalties for low-lefrl nonviolent offenders. former attorney general eric holder calls it being dumb on crime. nancy: and today a guilty plea from a prince george's councilmember. maryland bureau chief brad with his punishment and with those that he hit had to say about the judge's decision. brad: for the first time mel franklin is speaking publicly and accepting blame for driving drunk, crashing, injuring two people and totaling two cars, including the county-owned s.u.v. he was driving last november. mel: i take full responsibility for the accident and very, very sorry to the victims of the accident. brad: franklin spoke moments about -- after pleading guilty. the judge giving him the standard first-time offender sentence probation for judgment and $645 fine. mel: there's really no excuse to get behind the wheel of a vehicle when you are fully not prepared to drive. brad: teresa and another were in the car and said -- >> it's a long road ahead. brad: he hit the so bad that the rear window shattered, the seat pushed up against the front seat. >> i can clearly remember three seconds before the impact my husbanding screaming oh, my god and i'm thinking somebody's coming out the woods. i'm like what? before i could get my head around it we were rear-ended and i was out cold. brad: councilmember franklin says he hopes the voters forgive him. mel: i work doubly hard to do that. i am a public servant. brad: this is a third crash in a county car. he no longer has fleet privilege. brad bell, abc 7 news. >> well, this is a massive recall from fiat chrysler. about a million ram trucks may not be safe to drive. lisa fletcher has the consumer report. lisa: a software glitch could prevent air bags. the 2013-2016 ram pickups. it includes 2014-2016 ram 3500 pickup trucks. a computer module may incorrectly identify that one of the sensors failed and that would disable the side air bag and seat belt pretensioner so it won't hold tight. you can turn the truck off and back on for a reboot. reprogramming plans are in the works. jonathan. jonathan: some must-see video from norway tonight. an eyewitness capturing the moment when a helicopter -- look for it right there in the center of your screen -- crashed right in the drink. that was in the harbor. you can see the helicopterer was trying to initially land on the yacht right there. didn't go so well. missed it by that much. authorities say the pilot was trying to do that, didn't work out but three people were hurt. nobody seriously from the last time we checked. alison: very dramatic there. a milestone spacewalk. astronauts stepping outside morning. marking the 200th i.s.s. spacewalk. it's also a special for these two astronauts. for fischer it's his first one ever. and for witson it's her ninth, expend tending her u.s. record for most spacewalks by a female astronaut. jonathan: nice. doug: well, you would never know by our weather patterns recently but we are smack dab in the strongest part of the severe weather season through may and june and july, even into early fall. and while we've had a little touch of severe weather in our area, many parts of the country not that far from here have been rocked by severe weather. it's just the beginning of the season. bc 7 meteorologist molly cochran has more. d.m.v. has experienced rounds of severe storms this season. the first weather outbreak occurred in february with other outbreaks inpr of low pressure and associated cold front moved across the midwest. there was a confirmed ef-1 tornado near waldorf, maryland. one spotted in pennsylvania and the first february tornado ever recorded in massachusetts. on april 6, there was a confirmed ef-0 tornado that moved through the tidal basin. severe storms started deep in the south before reaching the d.c. metro. there was an confirmed ef-0 tornado in bowling base. the national weather season has been off to a intense start. based on preliminary data, the u.s. has recorded 650 tornadoes through may 10. january, 2017, has proven to be one for the record books with 134 actual tornadoes compared to just 17 in 2016 and 28 in 2015. for abc 7, molly cochran. doug: and once we get to see next week and temperatures through the 80's, anytime we have thunderstorms and cold fronts we have to think about the potential of severe weather. when you see a picture like this, not so much. it's only 50 degrees in spotsylvania. it's rainy. it will stay that way throughout the region. what happened, will the nationals play? don't know. could be the second makeup game in a row here. 56 is the forecast temperatures, periods of rain through the night. this is doppler. it's pretty solid. northern suburbs not so much. you'll get yours in bait. it's a solid area of rain that will continue through the afternoon and evening. the rest of the rush hour. there will continue to be good indications on radar and computer we'll have heavier pushes of rain. 9:30 southeastern suburbs. overnight, patches rain, gusty winds. very chilly temperatures. not appropriate at all or customary for this time of may. the storm center the northeast taking very heavy rain with it. around midday, the rain should pull out of the area. it will be breezy and cloudy. just maybe areas west of town could get a glimmer of sun. look at these temperatures. that's sad for middle of may. very sad temperatures in the mid 50's. it will get better by mother's day. about an inch in our area. more closer to the coast. then we get into the outlook period where we go through sunday and all of a sudden it's all smiles. partly sunny, breezy, 2. the same on monday. look at this warming trend. it will get too warm for many people as we get through the middle of the week. 89, 90 degrees. that's pretty impressive stuff. that is crazy. we have the little boy's chair today.

watching abc 7 news at 4:00 on your side. >> doug: i'm going to bet that many people watching aren't happy with the way the weather is starting out for this weekend but i'm also going to guess a lot of people will be happy the way the weekend finishes up. with the bold statement made, rain, second big wave of rain we had. yesterday we had heavy rain. not so much this morning but late this afternoon, rain in the area coming from an impulse of low pressure over southern west virginia. it's going to take a while tonight but will make a steady run towards the mid-atlantic coast and as it does the rain will come overhead with a periods of heavy rain. maybe a few rumbles of thunder south and east of washington. holding right near 50 degrees overnight. our futurecast shows it will push northward into pennsylvania. the whole kit and caboodle will continue. when it gets off the coast tomorrow, that's going to be good news for us. it will pull the rain out to sea and we'll see the rain end. this is 3:15 tomorrow morning. you'll sleep through that and maybe hear a little rumble of thunder. noon, it looks like in the d.c. metro on the back edge of this system as it continues to move away. that clears for clouds clearing out late saturday night and sunday looking fine. all across the area. close to an inch of rain, additional rainfall may come late tonight into tomorrow. heavy rain will end midday. breezy, 56. sunday, mother's day, cleaning, 7 . hot, upper 80's by the end of next to you. jonathan: fares will take effect next summer. michelle: it's with a tradeoff. nancy: the announcement made just a couple hours ago. transportation reporter breaks down the changes for us. >> well, that's right. we now know that riders have about six weeks of what's become the new normal of a midnight closing seven days a week before even more changes come their way. well, just a few hours ago metro officially made the announcement that it will be sunday, june 25, that they will start to see new hours, fares and schedules. those new hours include an 11:30 closing monday through thursday. new hours also include 11:00 p.m. closings on sunday and 1:00 a.m. closings, giving riders an additional hour on the weekend friday and saturday. the changes also mean digging deeper into their pockets. fare increases coming on the 25th another 25 cents and rail riders will see an increase of 10 cents to 25 cents. all this as they see service cuts as well. >> it's not really a problem for me. i get off in time to take the train home so i don't really care. yeah, that would stink if you rely on it to get home, especially late at night. reporter: now, metro plans to do an outreach campaign to riders to make sure they are aware of these changes ahead of that june 25 date. meanwhile, some riders say they are possibly going to ditch the system altogether. we'll have more on that coming up tonight at 5:00. nancy: thank you. breaking news right now. former f.b.i. director james comey has declined an invitation from the senate intelligence committee to testify in a closed door session on tuesday. this coming in right now from "politico." of course, the president fired

podium. at's melissa mckarty the comedianne who can be spoofing spicer on "saturday night live." those commuting and walking down the street certainly got a kick out of this sight. mccarthy is reportedly filming this for tomorrow night's upcoming episode. it ourns turns out a phrase president trump recently said he coined is older than he thinks. according to the merriam webster dictionary, the phrase prime the pump dates back to the early 19th phrase laughing up their sleeves. merriam webster quickly to translate on this saying the idiom means to be secretly happy or amused by something. the more you go. michelle: thank you. 7 on your side consumer alert. americans, we stepped up our retail sales by nearly half a percent in april. the commerce department says some of the biggest growth is online sales but that brought bad news for department stores. macy's and jcpenney continues to trouble. nancy: if you're seeing a lot of turnover in your office you are not alone. according to a.d.p., the country's largest payroll processers, nearly 2/3 of the workers who participated in the survey say they're open to leaving for another job. almost half say they would leave even if a new job matched or paid less. and get this. even more just left a job that didn't meet their expectations. jonathan: all right. how much do you know about charter schools and school voucher programs? you heard the name and the term a lot, but how much do you know? well, don't feel bad if you don't know much at all about it because you're actually with the majority. because according to an associated press poll, 58%, more than half of americans say they know little or nothing about charter schools which are schools funded by tax dollars. 66% said the same thing about school vouchers which are scholarships for low-income families. all right. you're probably though in the minority if you don't know what happened yesterday night in d.c. sports. michelle: wednesday not a good night for anyone. the caps were eliminated and the wizards got thumped up in boston. the wizards are alive but still need to win tonight. scott abraham is at the verizon. the wiz have a pretty good home

that's because this game is being played right here tonight inside the friendly confines of verizon center. the wizards, a completely different team playing at home in this series. in game three and game four, they dominated the boston celtics. there is no panic with these wizards' confidence -- calm, ready to play their best game of the season tonight. >> we didn't lose the series. they were up 3-2. just because you're at home you don't -- that doesn't mean you are going to win. our fans will be amazing. we are going to come out with a lot of energy. all we're trying to do is win one game at home and force a game seven. >> it's doing whatever it takes to win. i think we definitely had opportunities for the series to be different than what it is right now. it is what it is. all we can do is move forward. scott rarned i spent time with the wizards at very loose. just going about their normal routine. guys will be ready to play tonight gets those boston celtics. michelle: all right.

two dozen people who live in the care center were hurt. they are looking into motive as well as the relationship between the suspect and the nursing home. we're live in kirkersville, breaking news you jonathan: well, are the jumby jets safe for the president? because one of the plane's oxygen systems were contaminated. that was discovered last year during maintenance and fixed but the problem cost $4 million. three boeing mechanics are apparently being blamed for that problem and boeing paid the government back. nancy: a scoreboard jeon scare on a united airlines flight. this time the airline says there's no evidence the passenger was stung by the critter on a flight from houston to ecuador. it was delayed after someone saw it coming out of a fellow passenger's clothing. so united brought in a new plane for the flight. it's not clear if anyone actually ended up finding the scorp jeon so it scorpion so it may be out there. michelle: entertainer steve harvey sent a memo to his staffers not to meet with harvey in his dressing room or in the hall unless he speaks to them directly. harvey also warned that anyone who opens his door will be removed by his security. harvey told
