All this unfolded in trinidad, a neighborhood thats seen a turn around in recent years. It was a dangerous place in the 70s and 80s, known for drugs and violence. In 2008 police set up a controversial checkpoint here after a series of shootings that included the death of a 13yearold boy. Drivers were required to show id to get into and out of the neighborhood.

Reporter the conference ends tomorrow. Metro tonight is taking legal action to keep bus and train operators from fatigue. The agency filed suit in District Court today. They want to change the Current Union over time agreement to institute a new antifatigue policy. That policy would prevent employees from working more than six consecutive days.

One allergist we talked to is seeing an uptick in allergy sufferers. Chris gordon is in bethesda with what you can do. Reporter this is bethesda. As you can see, people are still playing on the Basketball Court even after sunset because its been such a warm day. The park is rimmed by trees. Thats causing a bit of a problem. The combinatiof problems for some allergy sufferers. If you have allergies, this weeks warm and sunny weather may have brought on your symptoms. Kind of like watery eyes. Thats a little bit different for me. Other than that, the slight stuffy nose. Reporter it feels like spring arrived early. People wanted to get outdoors. It was a day for flipflops and all kinds of alternative winter wear. The wilson familys 4yearold did his best impersonation of news4s doug kammerer. Our weather is, um, um, warm. Reporter but the warm weather has caused many trees to bud early. That creates pollen. I got a sick stuffy head, run any nose. I never really get headaches but lately kind of getting headaches. Reporter dr. Ready says a lot of patients can allergies the flu. I asked how to tell the difference. The temperature. A temperature of more than 101 is definitely a flu. Whereas temperature of 99 is more of allergies. Reporter he suggests before going to the doctor you should first try over the counter nasal sprays and antihistamines. If they dont work and give you relief, then you need to see your doctor. Then they have to get allergy testing done and then the allergy shots. Thats the next step. Reporter rain and cooling temperatures over the next couple of days could also bring some relief to allergy sufferers. Chris, didnt i see those kids behind you asking you to shoot some hoops with them . Reporter no. Theyd like you to school them. They know better than that. So in spite of the allergies this was an absolutely stupendously gorgeous day, wouldnt you agree . But doug, what i understand, if chris cant go, those kids playing behind him would like you to come on down and shoot a Little Something with them. Can you handle that . You know i can. Im ready to go. Temperaturewise, you can play outdoors because those numbers into the 70s. Yes that has spawned quite a bit in the way of allergies across our region today. Actually the official report from one of the centers here locally said trees have had an explosion of pollen over the last couple of days. Take a look at the numbers. Tree pollen way high across our region. Thats the big thing here. It will continue to be right on through the day tomorrow. Now, grass, weeds, mold all on the low side. We will get a little bit of relief tomorrow. Take a look at these High Temperatures today. 76 in d. C. , just two degrees shy of a record. 77 in just an amazingly warm day. A great night tonight.

The big question tonight is whether President Trumps administration tried to influence the fbi. Meet the press moderator and nbc news political director chuck todd joins us with some analysis. Here we are again with yet another, its a new controversy every week. The question was who contacted who and, yes, it is on Public Affairs issues there is a carveout there that a white house can talk to the fbi about stuff that has been released. And that is sort of how the white house is defending its actions here. And the fbi says that the white house didnt do anything inappropriate on their end either. But the fact of the matter is obviously the white house was not happy about the new york fbi sources say that there was a lot of contacts, constant contacts of members close to trump and russian intelligence officials. Now we have confirmed a different version of that story. Its similar but not quite. We dont say constant contacts, it was People Associated with the Trip Campaign with contact with russian officials, not necessarily intelligence or not. But nuances aside, the fact that there was this out reach to the fbi, you suddenly start thinking nixon. This is a precarious path for the white house to go down. Youre better off basically letting the chips fall where they may and staying out of it. Thats when congress will start getting involved. At cpac today we had its clear that the president has no love for the media, at least the media that we represent. Lets listen to some of what he said today. I want you all to know that a few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. They are the enemy of the people. And then after that, cnn, new york times, others barred from a off camera white house briefing. This is dangerous stuff. We all believe fake news, actual fake news is an enemy of the state. That is bad. Lets set that aside. Lets be clear. He is right. Now the definition of fake news is different for different people apparently. Look, i think people should be aware of a pattern here. The white house and the president ramp up attacks in the media always when there is a story involving the issue of russian interference in the election. They ramp it up even harder when there is a story that doesnt make the white house look good. I dont think you can separate those two issues per se. Thats been the driving force here. You also need to remember something else. The steve bannon addressed that same group yesterday. He outlined the strategy of the media is the opposition. This is a tactic that he wants to pursue. This is a tactic that he is pushing the president to pursue. Obviously its been good for the base and it fires up his supporters. The problem with this is that his supporters dont make up a majority of the country. His supporters are somewhere between 35 and 40 . When you do this, you do selective censorship, which is what they did today. There are folks in the middle who are going to say maybe the media makes me mad sometimes too, but cant you stand the heat . What are you afraid of . Are you hiding something . And common sense will start to kick in. This may feel good in the moment but over time it could hurt them. The unintended consequence here is if the entire Republican Party decides to take the steve bannon strategy and implement it democracy. That the dangerous unintended consequence of this. I get what the shortterm politics are about but willing this linger and continue is very bad. You talk about the entire Republican Party. President trump got a heros welcome at that cpac meeting today from people who didnt necessarily support him throughout the campaign. I dont think you can assume that the folks that were there this year were the same folks there last year. This was a trump pep rally. Last year it was ted cruzs conservative function. Those are different walks. The trump skeptics that voted for trump werent in that room. That is the slice of voter that i think he needs to start worrying about, are the people who voted for him who didnt like clintoclinton. The more he doesnt reach out to those folks, he can buy some political problems. Cpac today, dnc this they select a new chair. Look, were going to have the new chair, whoever it is. It looks like tom perez or keith ellison. Were going to talk to tom cotton, arkansas republican senator. Hes faced the town halls. Hes somebody that would like to have a Healthcare Plan that he can start pushing back on. Theyve been out there sort of almost politically naked without anything to defend. And then were going to talk to the governor of colorado, a democrat that a lot of people out here in washington are think maybe thats where the party should head in 2020 and beyond. Im curious to see what he thinks where the party should head. Thanks, chuck. Meet the press will air sunday morning 10 30 right here on fleenbc 4. A vandal strikes in boston. The crime has striking similarities to damage seen here on local landmarks. Could the cases be connected . Unusual demands for passengers getting off washington as it feels like spring out there even though its february. A lot of people posting pictures on social media, telling us how they have been enjoying in weather. Indeed, how could we not . Temperatures in the 70s. But in as much as i am not going im going to let doug do it. This is going to change, isnt it, doug . Really . Its on you, partner. All you, doug. I love what you do for me, my friend. The amazing part about this is just how warm we are today. Todays High Temperature was 76. Thats the average High Temperature for may 20th, may 20th. Thats almost memorial day. And we wish we had weather like this for memorial day weekend. Out there right now, you could see partly to mostly clear skies around our area. Looking really, really nice.

Your lradar, no rain. If youre going out tonight, looking great. Right after y saturday and sunday, though, completely different. Thats what the change is that were watching. It all comes from the west. Weve got a strong line of thunderstorms right now. Could be some Severe Weather in towards the ohio valley. Behind this, weve got snow back here towards iowa. Upwards of eight inches of snow has fallen. That system is moving our way and it will bring a chance for storms. Warm weather ahead of it, cold weather behind it. Were warm again early fotomorr and then we see the storms come through. With the front itself, by no
