The Washington Post standing by its story that the info was shared during a meeting last week in the oval office. White house and the President National security adviser strongly deny the report and the Russian Foreign ministry has also come out denying now the president s own tweet actually seems to contradict that. Allison is back now with the latest. Al . Good morning, holly. And this really isnt legal question. The president has brought authority when it comes to dee classifying intelligence but did he go too far even inadvertently . Because this involves russians democrats have been wick to pile on. What happened in this meeting . President donald trump in the oval office with russias foreign minister and u. Ambassador last week. According to a report in the Washington Post, as the conversation shifted to aviation security, the president disclosed classified information about isis provided by another country. He didnt mention the sourc that the russians may have been able to connect the dots perhaps putting the source in jeopardy. I was in the room. It didnt happen. The president s National Security adviser quickly spoke to reporters at the white housee president. At no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. Democrats lit up Twitter Senate Intelligence Committee mark warner saying quote if true this is a slap in the face to the risking sources and methods as inexcusable particularly with the russians. Even some republicans are un uneasy. Really problematic its the russians, because they dont have our interests at heart and they cant be trust. If it did hinder our relations with an ally who is all right inn fill straighted inside it could be problem. And beyond all of that, another question for the white house. Who is leaking information about conversations in the oval office . Earlier this morning the president addressed reports that he revealed highly classified information to senior russian officials did he it in a tweet. Here are his words as president i wanted to share with russia at an openly scheduled white house meeting which i have the absolute right to do facts pertaining to terrorism and Airline Flight safety, humanitarian reasons plus i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terr terrorism. President s own words right there which that leads to the contradiction what exactly did he say even if he didnt mean to say it or didnt say it in a way that he thought would be troubling. Or dangerous. Al, thank you. Lets check the morning briefing now and staying with our top story. President trump now has to reassure allies in the mideast after sharing the classified information about isis with russia. And today hell get two chances hes sed turkey president turkeys president this afternoon and speak by phone to jordan king. Both of those calls will also focus on the ongoing syrian civil war. Meanwhile President Trumps former rival is getting back into politics. Hillary clinton announcing on twitter the launch of onward together project encourages people to get involved organize and even run for office. Clinton said howard dean former president ial candidate and next governor would be involved but no word on exactly what role he will play. The gop was quick to criticize the movement calling the new group her old campaign under a new banner. Now lets talk about fox5 exclusive in the Murder Investigation of dnc staff seth rich. Nearly a year after seth rich was killed a private investigator says he has evidence that could link richs murder to his work with the dnc. That disputes d. C. Polices claim he was killed in a botched robbery and were just learning more layers may be involved here as well. Melanie alnwick live in northwest with the exclusive details. Mel . Reporter good morning, guys. I richs family through their attorney saying that the private investigator was someone who offered his services to their family and was paid for by a third party and they only learned of this possible email connection through reports in the press. Now, as for that email connection, a private investigator contacted fox5, told us that he has evidence that there is information on seth richs laptop computer that shows he was communicating with wikileaks prior to his death. Lets take you back to that crime scene. That was july 10th, 2016. It was a sunday night. Seth rich was walking home after being in a bar late night. He wasnt far from his house in the bloomingdale neighborhood. Police on patrol heard gunshots. Seth rich was alive when they got to him but he died at the hospital. Dc police have said that one of the theories theyre working on this was a robbery attempt. There had been many robberies in the neighborhood at that time but nothing was rich. 12 days after his murder thats when wikileaks dumped a huge cash of email from the dnc where seth rich work. That and 20,000 reward put up by wikileaks leader Julian Assange what fueled all of this conspiracy speculation. The familys private investigator rod wheeler believes theres a cover up and he says the d. C. Police department was told to back down on the investigation. I have a source inside the Police Department that had looked at me straight in the eye and said, rod, we were told tooo cant share any information with you. Now, thats highly unusual for a Murder Investigation. Especially from a Police Department. Again, i dont think it comes from the chiefs office. But i do believe there is a correlation between the Mayors Office and the dnc. Reporter now i talked with d. C. Police depth this morning, and they said of those allegations made by rob wheeler rod wheeler they are that no one would ever tell d. C. Homicide detectives to stand down on an investigation. Now, wheeler has promised to provide fox5 with hard evidence with documents an report showing all of those alleged contacts between seth rich and wikileaks. The number of contacts and when they happen. We have not received that report as of yet. But i did tell you guys that we just got email from seth richs family as well, and they said basically, lets see. We have seen no facts, weve seen no evidence. Weve weve not begun approached with any emails and they go on to say, even if email was uncovered, it is not a high enough bar of evidence to prove any interactions as emails can be altered and theyve seen that those int interested in conspiracies will stop at nothing to do so. So, again, so many different layers here. A lot of questions. Is there a laptop . Is that evidence . What is it on it . Who has access to it . So many more things we need to follo here at fox5. Back to you guys. Is the family im trying to keep this clear, mel, when it comes to this investigator who was the former d. C. Homicide detective and the family. The family is not paying him. They did not higher him to investigate but theyre aware that hes been investigating . Is that accurate . Reporter thats according to this email that again i just received right before we went on air. They say the services of the private investigator who spoke to the press was offered to the rich family and paid for by a third party. They go on to say that he was contractually bar the from speaking to the press or anyone outside of Law Enforcement unless expli explicittedly authd by the family but the email does not go on to say they authorized him to do so. But does it say at the top they only learned of these allegations through the press. Where is rod wheeler now . Reporter good question. We did reach out to him this morning asking him to come on fox5. Were still working on trying to to also give us that information that he promised. All right. More questions are opening up the deeper we dig. As the lawyers continue to go we learned this wikileaks founder Julian Assange retweeted a link to fox5 story about seth rich. Interview after richs he death assange suggested that rich was a wick key leak source. More to come indeed on that story. 9 13 right now. For lets talk about the global cyber attack what in a cry. Its under aware in the United States. It affected hundreds of thousands of individuals. It freezes computers leaving users unable to access them. It then offers to return access to users if the user pays 300 in bit coin. So far no one has taken blame for the cyber tack. Researchers do say the computer code has similarities to a code used by north korea. Hacking Group Released to more variations of the virus but it was caught before the could impact any computer sy systems. All right. Want to tuck about other news think morning. New miss usa who used to be miss d. C. Just gave her first interview since taking the crown and coming up later what she said about that Health Care Controversy and what she said makes d. C. So special after our back to back wins in that department. Hey, bob. Reporter hair, maureen. Latest safetrack Surge Program is forcing metro riders to take buses for the next month.

Fox5 tracking metro this morning and today safetrack surge 15 begins. This new surge will shut down five stations of the orange line between the New Carrollton and stadium armory stations. Bob barnard is live in New Carrollton maryland with the latest on these closures and exactly how passengers are coping. Bob . Reporter yeah, guys a lot of long faces here at this hour this morning here at new c carrollton. This surge 15 goes for the next month starts today goes through june 15th. And basically this is the answer here at least at New Carrollton. Buses, no trains, at new deanwood or the minnesota avenue metro stations for the next month. Buses are replacing trains between here, New Carrollton, and stadium armory. Now, these are limited free shuttle buses this bus right here closest to us is going to take people to each of those metro stops along the way. Ending up at stadium armory. And theyre free but do you need your smart trip card to like tap on to the device here youll get rebate eventually. You see theyve got lot of people in those yellow vests out here directing people around. Theyre also more frequent express shuttle buses which will head south to blue line stations like morgan boulevard from here to get people on train there is to get them into their Job Locations in the city. Now, a lot of people getting here to New Carrollton also hopping on to marc trains. Again no Metro Train Service for the next month. This east end of the orange line now orange line trains from northern metro says are running near normal service between vienna and largo town center. Silver line trains running every 12 minutes between Wiehle Reston east and stadium armory. Heres one of those shuttle buses heading out it will make every stop. So the commute is happening but its going to take a lot longer for people to get there. Metro says they roughly have 18,000 riders daily computers this is affecting and what theyre basically doing during this surge 15 is replacing more than 12 miles of track thats 6 miles in each direction everybody weve been asking lately has been kind of long faced just like this guy at seven and 8 00 oclock this morning people were pretty upbeat going to give themselves more time. But those who are traveling later the last few weve been approaching have kind of giving us the hand and said another metro case to deal with. Thats it, guys. No Train Service on the orange line for a bit. How you doing, maam, you going to be okay. Im fine, thank you. Reporter thats it, guys. Just a little more time to get where youre going because no trains only buses for month with surge 15. Bob, she knows it will take more time. I dont have time to talk. I got to get on this bus. You still have to pay, bob and wait for rebate. They cant disable the scanner on the buses . Reporter ill tell was i look inside that bus we just looked looked like it had covering over the fair device. But metro has been outing out even on social media that please when you get on the buses even though theyre free, tap it with your smart trip card and youll get refund or row bait. You would think they would just let people get on and go. But apparently thats not the case. Yeah. All right. Thanks, bob. Thank you, bob. Well he is here to stay. Republican candidate for Virginia Governor Corey Stewart says hes staying in the race despite rumors he was bowing out. He went on facebook allowing things he denounces. Earlier today i had the chance to speak with him on how hes in it for the long haul. I cant buy the election like ed is trying to do. Hes raised you know 3. 8 million Something Like that go to run of frr and other ads at the end of the campaign trying to get peoples votes that way. I dont think that works any more. I think the truth you got to face social media has changed everything you got to be very direct with people. People are sick and tired of the same old talking points. The mumbo jumbo, upping, things republicans have been saying for 30 years. We just have to be more direct and honest with people thats what ive a
