We had a solo car spinout wrk looking at slicker roads because of some of the fog. A new crash just reported on 237. I dont have details on which direction, stand by, but no slowing showing up yet. We had a lot of slowing out of the Robin Williams tunnel, but this was cleared up. Southbound now all slowing has cleared. Heading to the golden gate with a live look like this, fog in your face, and this will be a problem. Mist, you might need to use the windshield wipers and possibly make the roads slicker. Be careful.

We have some Surveillance Video that may help investigators here just a little. You cant really see the person, the suspicious persons face, but this may help. Take a look at your tv screen. In the video, you see someone biking up to a dumpster. Thats on Willow Street near locust street. Moments later, the dumpster on fire. The suspect gets away with their face down, and just done the street, another fire burned the back of a liquor store. Crews responded to, get this, seven different fires in all right here in the same neighborhood. Pretty scary because i heard like an explosion. And there was like obviously glass in there, so i freaked out. I had to dial 911. Yeah, i can imagine he did freak out a lot of residents in the area. Ever since we have been here the last couple hours, they were asking if we have more details. Were giving as much as we can, but we are asking residents and investigators if you have seen anything that looks suspicious, contact them. Give them a call. This while investigators are saying theyre not as of yet connecting all of these fires to one person, but it sure is starting to look that way. Were live in san jose, rick boone. Best information often comes from the public. Lawyers for derriick almena hola pres conference today. Hes the master tentant and charged with the deadly ghostship warehouse fire. That will be on broadway street in oakland. Theyre expected to discuss charges against almena. Hes charging 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter, one count for each victim. An mailas attorneys call the charges a distraction from the real issue, what they say is a lack of affordable and safe housing in oakland. Heres his attorney from after he made his first appearance in court. Despite the strong emotions, we do not feel that the public good will be served by prosecuting our client. I think what he said was nonsense. All right, that comment right there came from a Family Member of one of the victims. In the meantime, max harris is the second person facing charges in the fire. He was just transported to the santa rita jail in dublin yesterday from los angeles where he was arrested. 6 04. Napa county officials will hold a ground breakingmony this afternoon for a new facility they hope will get former inmates on the right track.

Developing overnight from our nations capitol, two Police Officers and a Government Employee are recovering this morning after they were struck by a speeding car in washington, d. C.

One officer was originally listed in Critical Condition. Hes since been upgraded to serious condition this morning. Two others are expected to be okay. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Live now to washington, d. C. The fallout continues this morning after former fbi director james comey testified in front of the Senate Intelligence committee.

He said, quote, despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication, and wow, comey is a leaker. Today in the bays Edward Lawrence live in washington, d. C. To break down all of the overnight developments. Good morning, edward. Reporter good morning, sam and laura. That is exactly the sentiment that was echoed by President Donald Trump lawyer. In fact, this morning, nbc news is learning hes planning papers to file a complaint with the department of justice, Inspector General, and also the Senate Judiciary committee about the leaked memos, possibly trying to change the debate here in this. What james comey did in front of his testimony, he outlined nine conversations that made him feel uncomfortable with President Donald Trump. No. Under oath, former fbi director james comey explained why he took detailed notes after conversations with President Donald Trump. I was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting. Comey admitted he asked a friend to leak one of his memos to add more unleindependence to investigation. I asked him to because i thought it might prompt the appointment of a special council. Trump asked him to make a loyalty pledge to him. The president s personal attorney said comey confirmed the president wasnt a target of the probe and countered his accusations. The president never in form or substance directed or suggested that mr. Comey stop investigating anyone. President trump, not commenting. Mr. Trump, any reaction to comeys testimony . Thank you very much. House speaker ryan says this is all a misunderstanding. The president s new at this. Hes new to government. And so he probably wasnt steeped in the long running protocols.

While everybody was watching the comey hearing, republicans in the housed to roll back some of the protections of dodd frank put in place after the big economic collapse. The most important thing they did was repeal the voker rule. Now, this bill passed along party lines. One republican member said no. This goes to the senate, but frankly, i think the senate is less likely to pass it as is. Wall street loves a good roll back of the rules. F futures call for a higher opening. Investors seem to be shrugging off the strange election in britain. Terresheresa may, who never got elected from the people the first time, called for an election to get a mandate. Failed to get a majority for here. She cannot remain Prime Minister unless her party finds another party to join. Really the worst outcome you can get. Britains elections never fail to surprise. All right, taylor swift back on spotify. She quit spotify and apple because she said all you can listen to format didnt allow listeners to value her music the way it should be valued. This would be like a chef who doesnt want his dish to be part of an all you can eat buffet. She has changed her mind and the music is available. I know its a tv trope to work a taylor swift song into the story so here are your choices. We are getting back together. You, spotify, belong to me, and the fight is over, they were able to shake it off. You can have any of those. The timing on this, taylor swift makes this announcement just as katy perry is releasing her new album. He thinks it has nothing to do with it. We had this dis cushion.
