I. s decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton after investigating how the former secretary of state used her email. Today the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced that f. B. I. Director james comey will now testify before the Committee Director comey stressed in yesterdays announcement while clinton didnt do anything wrong her actions were extremely careless. So will trust be a main factor voters as clinton runs for president this fall . Jeff barnd live at the hill with this side of the story. Jeff it depends who you ask on capitol hill. The democrats are saying after the f. B. I. Announcement yesterday its time to move on and focus on Hillary Clintons president ial campaign race. Leading into november. But the republicans are saying not so fast. The chair of the House Oversight committee congressman Jason Chaffetz tells us he would like f. B. I. Director james comey to tell him the difference of gross negligence versus extreme carelessness. We have other questions about what are the consequences for violating the de there were. Jeff political analyst says despite the statement tuesday the g. O. P. Smells blood in the water. The fact she didnt tell the truth on the emails. The fact she was involved in negligence, carelessness. I think that is going to be bad for her in the long run. Jeff he cites comeys comments tuesday. 102 email in 52 email chains determined by the owning agency to contain classified information. Jeff compares that to mrs. Clintons comments last year. I did not email any classified material. If you cant trust the person and how they use the emails when they are the secretary of state, how can you trust the person when they make lifeanddeath decisions about your sons and daughters . Jeff another Ranking Member of the House Oversight committee points out since james comey is well respected on both sides of the aisle the g. O. P. Better tread lightly. I think this is republicans not liking the decision he made. And wanting to question it. Keep the story going. Meantime, attorney general Loretta Lynch set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next week where she will be asked about the meeting with former president clinton in phoenix. As the email investigation was ongoing. They told me earlier today in city of washington its not so much the crime as the coverup.

President will assume the most solemn responsibility of e commanderinchief. Jonathan the original plan was for 5,500 troops to stay in afghanistan for training and counterterrorism operations. There are some 10,000 u. S. Troops currently deployed in the country. Alison a new report blasts the decision by the u. S. And Great Britain to invade iraq in 2003. The British Government official inquiry found faulty intelligence and inadequate planning but stopped short of calling the war illegal. That is angering british families of those who lost loved ones. The judgment about the severity of the threat posed by iraqs weapons of mass destruction, w. M. D. , were presented with a certainty that was not justified. Alison former Prime Minister tony blair reacted to this, forced from office in large part of the war. Blair said he understands the anger out there. I know there are those who can never forget or forgive me for having taken this decision. And who think i took it dishonestly. Alison former president george w. Bush echoed blairs comments in a statement. The report took seven years to complete and it is four times longer than war and peace.

Dropping after that. Remaining warm and muggy all night. Rain chances are not much in the area. South side virginia, scattered showers. Heavy duty stuff across kentucky and tennessee. This remnant of showers will try to make its way across the mountain. After midnight metro area maybe an isolated shower. Other than that, just muggy. By the time you wake u but it will feel warmer with the moisture level. This is the zone forecast for the metro zone. If you go farther west in the mountains it will feel a little cooler. Down south to the toeer end of the potomac and the bay, mid70s for the overnight temperatures. Future cast shows a couple of showers. This model washes them out before they reach the area. That is reasonable. In the morning clouds giving way to partly sunny skies. Hot and humid stuff again. Low to mid90s. Feel 100 degrees or so. This model doesnt have much in our area as we continue through the day on friday. Another hot day as we head through 95, 96 degree territory. We have a little better chance of showers and the thunderstorms on friday an and friday evening. Future heat index speaks for itself. 100 the way it feels in many areas now. Through the day tomorrow.

And came to his aid when he collapsed of a heart attack last month in the Folger Shakespeare theater. Security officer gary thomas. There was an outburst in front of the audience. We thought it was part of the play at first. Dillon mary a College Student who learned c. P. R. As a boy scout and Michelle Michels a Nurse Practitioner by doing c. P. R. And subsequently using the defibrillator to get the heart rhythm back to normal, that gave him the opportunity to have his brain work. His kidneys work. Sam its the citys big push to train thousands in c. P. R. This 87yearold was happy to promote c. P. R. Today. I owe my life to these people. Its the least i can do if i can help someone else.
