Here, but there are far bigger fish to fry. Reporter like russias influence during the leakedz. General flynns connections to russia, and why the president waited weeks to act after being notified flynn could be subject to blackmail. While Vice President pence was left in the dark. Top democrats are demanding a full timeline from the white house, and they want attorney general Jeff Sessions off the case. If this trail leads to the oval office, the person investigating that trail should not be the same person who helped put President Trump there. Reporter intelligence and other congressional panels are investigating, but democrats worry the republicanled committees wont dig deep enough. And thats why they want this independent investigation, and interestingly, today, wendy, Senate Democrats were calling on the Trump Administration to hold on to the paperwork, so to speak, any documents, or records, phone logs, transcripts that might help out in that investigation. Wendy . Ll more now on why some democrats and watchdog groups say attorney general sessions should recuse himself from any investigation that involves the white house. Like michael flynn, sessions was an early and an influential adviser to mr. Trumps president ial campaign. As attorney general, sessions oversees the fbi, and the agency is investigating some members of Trumps Campaign for alleged ties to russia. Critics argue that ethics rules at the department of justice should disqualify sessions from overseeing this investigation. So doj rules are very clear that if you were part of a political campaign, which Jeff Sessions was, he was a member of the campaign, you can in no way participate in investigating or prosecuting anything in that campaign, that organization. Sessions, so far, has refused. Sessions was the first sitting senator to enforce trump, and he also served as a campaign surrogate for him. La talked with the Russian Ambassador at the center of the mike flynn controversy. It was a few days after the inauguration. And Barbara Harrison spoke with the ambassador about accusations that russia interfered in the president ial election. The ambassador said there is no truth to the allegations. Its a product of internal political battles within the united states. Very unfortunate. I think we all stand to benefit in returning to more normalcy not only in relations but also in thinking about each other. Again, the ambassador was speaking in general about the mettling allegations, not his phone call with mike flynn back in december. Also, there are new developments in President Trumps cabinet. Andy puzder has withdrawn himself from consideration to lead the labor department. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle voiced concerns about the fastfood executives stance on the minimum wage, his employment of an undocumented housp and a Domestic Violence scandal. His exwife accused him of abuse while on oprah back in 1990. Puzder denied the allegations. His exwife later recanted her story. Signs of a possible shift in the u. S. Approach to peace in the middle east as the israeli Prime Minister arrived for his First Official visit with President Trump. It has long been the u. S. View that a twostate solution provides the best path toward peace. At a joint News Conference today, both leaders appeared willing to explore other options. As far as settlements, id like to see you hold back on settlements for a little bit. I thought for a while the twostate looked like it may be the easier of the two, but honestly if israel and the palestinians are happy, im happy with the one they like the best. First the palestinians must recognize the jewish state. Sec israel must retain the overriding Security Control over the entire area west of the jordan river. That visit comes as the Associated Press reports that cia director mike pompeo met secretly last night with palestinian president mahmoud abbas. The white house has refused to comment on that report. New fears tonight that some i. C. E. Arrests staged near a church might keep latinos from coming in from the cold. Witnesses are sharing their stories about what happened last week. Reporter Oscar Ramirez said what happened near Rising Hope Mission Church came as a complete surprise. As he and several other men left church and crossed the street, i. C. E. Agents pulled up. They put up against the wall and a lot of start coming in. At least i count 12 of them. Reporter this is the wall where the men were ordered to stand. A green card holder, agents quickly cleared him, but he and two other witnesses say a half dozen other latino men were arrested and taken away in two vans that later pulled up. How many people do you believe seeing taken into custody . At least seven. Six or seven. It surprised me. I think it surprised a lot of people seeing it actually happen. Reporter Thurman Brewster saw what happened. He has sympathy for some of the men. But others i have mixed feelings. Its like i said, one of the guys, one of the Police Officers said he had a robbery charge over in d. C. Well, if youre wanted, youre want wanted. Reporter rising hopes pastor now worries fear of being targeted near a church could keep some people out in the cold. That they stayed here in the hypothermia shelters. So they were waiting for them to cross the street and then jump on them. Reporter and thiS Immigration lawyer has another concern. The fact that the i. C. E. Agents are coming not just for specific people theyre looking for, but are willing to just pick up any other latino men who happen to be walking around. Reporter i. C. E. Officials have a different version of events. They say only two men were arrest arrested across the street from the church. And a spokesperson said the sensitive location policy was followed, to avoid arrests at places of worship, schools, and medical facilities. She emphasized the arrest took place across the street, not on church property. And as i reported earlier this week, the Trump Administration executive order broadens the definition of who i. C. E. Can go after. During the obama administration, it was specific targets, undocumented people who had criminal records. Now, without a criminal record can even be picked up. Back to you now in the studio. Major security upgrades are planned for the u. S. Capitol complex, above the ground and beneath it. The news4 iteam broke that story in our nbc app and has the story that youll see only on news4.

Reporter reinforcements of some of the exterior windows, an underground alarm system, an invisible fence around the perimeter of the building to detect threats, including at night. And better lighting outside the building at night, particularly on the Supreme Court side of the complex. And adding more uniformed officers and k9s outside the entrance of the capitol and the the house and Senate Buildings and also better checking of workers who park in the garage. Increasing security outside the capital is a balancing act. This is a public space for visitors and tourists from all across the country. The house sergeantatarms says he will do nothing to adversely complex. Congress has to set aside money for the enhancements and could do so as early as this spring. At the capitol, scott macfarlane, news4. The mother of a 15yearold murder victim told news4 she wanted her daughters killers found. And tonight Fairfax County police say they have done that.

Were you scared that might extend to you, that somebody might do something . Thats why i left. Reporter but now police tell us, shes connected to alexandras death. Shes in custody. Were looking at the extent of her involvement, but i cant give you details of that. Before she knew her daughter was a suspect, she expressed pain for alexandras mom. [ speaking spanish ] im sorry for that mother whose daughter was found dead, she told me emotionally.

One person is recovering tonight after a brazen daytime shooting in the district. It happened a block away from georgia avenue, the petworth neighborhood. Pat collins at the scene where people say its not the first time theyve seen Violent Crime in that neighborhood. Reporter broad daylight bullets flying through the air have a way of unsettling the neighborhood. Welcome now to the 800 block of crittenden street. Shoes in the sky. When you see shoes wrapped around wires above, many times its a sign of trouble nearby. And indeed on crittenden street this morning, trouble. Broad daylight bullets, at least a dozen gun shots that turned a whole block into a crime scene. One man shot and stray bullets pierced through cars parked on the street. Victoria evans was one of the victims of that. All i know is a bullet hole is in my car. Thats awful. Reporter i w i was sitting in my room. I was reading. And i heard, like six rounds, like a gunshot about six times. Reporter thats candace young, her car was hit too. She says gunfire on crittenden street is not all that unusual. So youve had four shooting incidents in about two or three months, in this block alone . Whats going on here . We dont know. We dont know. Scary . Its kinda disconcerting, but you just cant walk around being scared, you would never come out your house. Reporter Police Spent Hours collecting evidence and looking for clues here. So far, no motive, no in petworth, pat collins, news4. Its now easier for maryland to take legal action against the white house. Today the General Assembly passed a resolution that clears the way for marylands attorney general, brian frosh, to sue the Trump Administration without getting permission from the governor first. And the governor cant veto this. Democrats who approved the bill say theyre worried about the potential repeal of the Affordable Care act. Republicans say the move violates the constitution. Now in d. C. , theres been a dramatic increase in the number of protests here since President Trump took Office Almost a month ago. Those protests are putting more strain, were told, on the d. C. Police department. Toms been looking into all this and is here with us now. Goodness knows d. C. Police department has all kinds of experience in handling crowds and protests. Why is it any different now . Everyone planned for the inaugural, but not for all the immigration protests. And secondly, the Police Staffing is down by several hundred thirdly, all this extra activity comes to the police, even as the city has now 100,000 more residents than it had a decade ago. So is this going to cost more . Who is paying for this . The good news, with the inauguration and federal issues, the city gets a budget of about 35 million a year to handle things like that. They can ask for more funds for the federal stuff. But theres a lot going on and they just dont have enough people and enough time. I talked to interim police chief Peter Newsome and theyre trying to speed up hiring more officers, trying to spread the money around, restaff people around the city. He thinks theyre doing a really good job, but its a much tougher assignment than it was just a couple years ago. From what i hear, we have an awful lot of officers retiring, dont we . Thats the reason of the shortage. More people retire. A lot of people are getting old, jim. No it a lot more people are retiring than they are hiring. And itsar train them. And the citys adjusted some things to get more officers, but its a tough battle they have to keep fighting for. Chief newsome is the interim police chief and he says theyre doing a lot to get officers back on the street faster, but qualified to do the job. But just for citizens who are concerned and things do get vilent violent, they bring in reinforcements . Yes, they do. Theyre being much more flexible now when they have to respond to something, theyre better at responding. Theyre much busier. Well, a pioneer in the race to space.

Well meet the woman who inspired the film Hidden Figures, as she shows whats the status on that computer . Harrison. Does she handle analytic geometry . Absolutely. And she speaks. Yes, sir, i do. Thats a scene from a wonderful movie, its called Hidden Figures. It features the untold story of three African American women working for nasa in the early days of the Space Program back in the 50s and 60s. It chronicles their plight to end the discrimination that separated them from the rest of the team and kept them from moving up in their jobs. Barbara harrison is here now with more on one of the women featured in that film. Barbara . One of the women who proves herself to be really a human computer is Katherine Johnson. Shes a quiet hero in this film who proves that her manual math calculations were more reliable than the computers in the early days. This one in the me. Johnson. If they say so. Well, thats what they say. And weve all gone to the movies to see your story. Does that surprise you . It does . Yes. Very much. Reporter you dont know that youre an International Sensation . For what reason . Reporter because of what you did. Did i rob a bank. [ laughter ] reporter Katherine Johnson has a terrific sense of humor. Certain not the introvert some might imagine a mathematics genius to be. We all know you did some incredible things when you worked at nasa. John glenn could not take a trip without you saying it was okay. Yeah, he was he was like me. He didnt trust theyd put everything in the computers. Reporter john glenn trusted her telemetry those from computers that were relatively new at the time. He knew her equations done by hand had worked for some very high stakes missions. How did she feel about so much weight riding on her arithmetic . No problem. Reporter no problem, because math has never stumped Katherine Johnson. Shes a legend now at nasa where a lot has changed since her 33 years there. And she was a major catalyst for that change. Her brilliant mind for math led to Great Strides in the race to get to space and back. The fact that you knew how to do it when a lot of people didnt know how to do it. Shame on. [ laughter ] reporter yes, shame on them. She says she was just doing her job, but her part in putting america out front, in the pioneering days of the space race, and for her part in bringing her race from the back of the bus when they rode to work here, both have earned a place in history books and in the movies. She is one of whose story was told in the popular new film Hidden Figures. The other two Dorothy Vaughn and mary jackson. The three were young the first female African Americans to work for nasa, where job assignments in the segregated Computers Division at Langley Research center were far beneath the heights they would eventually climb. Through excellence in what they did, and their perseverance in achieving equality, the movie gives us only a glimpse of Katherine Johnsons life away from nasa. Raising three daughters as a single mother, a new husband, who she still shares her life with today. At 98 now, Katherine Johnson is the lone survivor of the three who have come to be known as Hidden Figures. Her brain can still pump out those numbers. Whats 7 times 12 . 84. That brain is still working. Im glad something is still working. I think aot working for you. Youre amazing. What year were you born . 1918. 1918. That makes you how old . Caller close to a hundred. Im working on that. What an amazing lady. I had a wonderful time with her. She would like to still be working to land humans on mars. She said mars is so much further than the moon that figuring out the trajectory would take more space than her manual calculations than she could fit on a blackboard, but she has no doubt that she could do it. And incidentally she told me about a couple of things in the movie that she would correct. One is that she never had to run from one building to another to get to the colored bathroom, and as for the coffee, she made the coffee every day herself, and she said she never remembers anyone refusing to drink it because her hands it touched does tell us about what they went through. She is an extraordinary woman and i love her comment when you asked her a question and she said no problem. And i asked her a lot more math questions than just that one. Shes sharp. She said, are you having a problem . Shes an extraordinary woman. Barbara, thank you. Lets turn to the weather now. What are your figures for the coming week . Theyre cold and then they get warm. And thats what its been. Weve been on that roller coaster here. Kind of the battle of the seasons here during winter. Its supposed to be winter, but weve seen a lot more spring lately than winter, and thats what we have in the upcoming forecast. Out there right now, a very cold night for sure. Temperatures dropping through the 40s into the 30s. Windchills and theyre another thing, already in the 20s in some areas. Winds out of the northwest at 13 miles per hour. Winds gusting over 30 to cool things down. 38 in potomac. Windchills in the 20s, but again, thats the way theyll be all night long right through tomorrow morning. Rain or snow, not in our immediate area, but back to the west, we are seeing some making its way around this area of low pressure, through the great lakes, through cleveland, through pittsburgh, and it will try to make its way towards our area. I dont think it will get here. Once it crosses the blue ridge, things tend to dry, so im not worried about flurry here. But west of the blue ridge, hagerstown, you may see a couple flurries. Next couple days, tomorrow is the cold day, 30 degrees, but it will feel like teens and 20s. Blustery around noon. 39 around 3 00, and then dropping to 35 degrees by 7 00. So cold for sure. If youre heading out this weekend, skiing, theyll be able to make snow the next couple days and then nice conditions for actual skiing during the weekend but still really nice. Golf, yeah, you can get a tee time for the weekend. Saturday, 64, sunday, 65. And even even close most of next week. Im doug kammerer, but you knew that. I thought i was doing the web for a second. Thats okay. We gotcha. We got sports coming up. Tough road for maryland starts tonight and a coaching legend in the area saying goodbye to the game. This is the xfinity sports desk. Michael wilbon is going to be so happy. Why am i saying that, right . Yeah. Wilbon went to northwestern and hes always talking about that school. And i think they have a chance of getting into the tournament for the first time in about a hundred or so years since will don graduated. Were saying ever. But but they may not because they will play maryland tonight. And the way the terps have been playing, im thinking northwestern might want to stay home tonight. Northwestern could lose tonight and still have a good chance. They only have six losses on the year. A tough week for maryland and thats the team were concentrating on. Last year, the maryland mens basketball team, 224. 224 record and they were ranked second in the country. This year, theyre 214 and theyre we got to give the post credit for reminding us of that. Terps say, no, nothing can be taken for granted. A tough road tonight at northwestern. Yes, i said tough and northwestern in the same sentence. Maryland is not looking ahead to 11th ranked wisconsin and a nationally televised game on sunday, because tonights opponent just beat wisconsin. The wildcats, one of the best teams in school history, 196 now, after that upset of the badgers, theyre close to sec e securing their first ncaa tournament. Coach doesnt have to tell us that overlooking tonights game is a big nono. They know. Been following basketball their whole lives. This team is focused on one game and so wisconsin or northwesterns coming off a huge win. Best team theyve had maybe er our guys know what lie ahead, and we gotta be ready to go. Wizards hit the road ahead of the allstar break, heading to indy to face the pacers. The time of years that makes coaches nervous when vacation is on the brain. Top four seed . Thats a question that were asking last week. Today its can they contend for number one in the east . Wizards have been playing excellent basketball, winning 14 of the last 16. Theyre the third seed. Cavs are on top, they just lost kevin love, opening the door for lebron james getting the throne. That should be our goal. Its possible.
