Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to appear before a federal judge tomorrow to be arraigned on new felony charges.

As Amanda Quintana explains, the criminal charges against trump and the challenges involved in this case, the attack on our nations capitol, on january 6th, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of american democracy. Justice Department Special counsel jack smith laid out his case tuesday, saying former President Trump broke several laws in his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. It was fueled by lies, lies by the defendant targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the us government. The new charges include conspiracy to defraud the us conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to prevent others from carrying out their constitutional rights. Legal expert Jessica Levinson says smith makes a strong argument. On the one hand, he talks about the lies that the former president allegedly made, and he says that he knew about those lies. People told him that the election was not stolen. People told him there was not fraud and then on the other side, we see the former president taking specific and illegal actions to try and implement those lies. This is the third indicted trump has faced this year. But u. S.

The reason why this one is so serious is that it gets to the heart of democracy. This was a challenge that we have never seen before.

Whee flying or staying at home, a little bit of a warm up in store for the weekend, right . Absolutely but it will be short lived, really just a couple of days of a warm up and then well be back to seasonal highs right here in the bay area today. Its a big time cooldown. Have you felt the difference . Take a look at the difference. This is our live weather camera looking out towards sfo and south San Francisco where we do have the clouds down to about 600ft at this hour. Our Storm Tracker is verifying that. Look, with the fog bank just invading the golden gate bridge, it traverses easterly towards berkeley and in richmond and in oakland, were currently looking out the window outside our studios. It is gray. We do have the gray skies also from inverness lining the seashore through bolinas, all the way through pacifica. In fact, if we expand this particular map, you can see that our image does indicate that we have the low clouds of fog streaming all the way into watsonville. And this bank is so deep that is producing some condensation, some drizzle and some areas. Now, right now, our air temperature stands from 59 cool degrees in Half Moon Bay to 74. In livermore. Its 68. In santa rosa and low 70s and san jose. These are like springtime temperatures right now. Our winds have picked up, up to 26 mile per hour gusts right now in the fairfield area. 12 at oakland international. Its come at mineta International Airport. But everybodys going to become breezy to windy late day. Its a west and northwest wind. It has been increasing to 20mph. But some gusts, especially on the sea shore in excess of 35mph, perhaps as high as 40. So the bottom line is we have a big fog bank today. Tomorrow we will have that marine layer thicken up in the overnight hours again, and its going to pan out to be the coolest day of the workweek on friday through sunday. Less fog, more sunshine and more warmth as a result. This is our satellite imagery. And for about two weeks now, weve had this upper level trough to the north of us. This has been eroding our marine layer earlier. But as it marches closer and that area of High Pressure traverses to the east, we do see that enhancement of the marine layer, and that affects our temperatures. In fact, take a look at these notable numbers. Yesterday it was 80 and san rafael just pleasant. Today, still a pretty day, but four degrees cooler, three degrees cooler in san mateo. Look at walnut creek, tumbling into the 70s and san jose minus five degrees today. Now typically, these are our average high temperature. So you can get a good feel for those and we should be right around 72 in oakland, a little shy of that and about ten degrees cooler than where we should be in san jose. Same thing in morgan hill across the country. Were at 103 right now in phenix, but theyre cooled down, has been short lived with the heat warning back into effect tomorrow. 111 there and its going to get hotter by the weekend. Were cooling down tonight to the 50s. Tomorrow anywhere from 60 to about 82 degrees. Thats unseasonably cool. 83 degrees in fairfield. And there you have that 103 on sunday. And antioch. But again, cooler by monday. Ali, thank you, roberta. Well, gas prices are on the rise nationwide.
