Wrote a memo detailing the request, he wrote the memos after visiting with President Donald Trump last february. President donald trump asked former fbi director james comey to drop the investigation into former National Security advisor Michael Flynn, former fbi director james comey was keeping notes on what he considered efforts to influence the investigation, he said that President Donald Trump asked him to see your way clear to letting former National Security advisor Michael Flynn go. Former National Security advisor Michael Flynn was one of the sobts into the subjects of the investigation into the trump campaigns contacts with russia. On twitter this morning, the president defended his actions of giving out classified information to russia. He said i had the right to give the russians the information, it was for humanitarian reasons and i want russia to step up their fight against isis and terrorism. Those are the only statements from the president so far on the matter. Reporter during a photo op, President Donald Trump led the report denials to the investigation. We support turkey. Reporter President Donald Trump appeared in front of the press today, staying mum about last nights Washington Post report where the president is said to have talked about top secret intelligence. The National Security visor h. R. Mcmaster denied the premise of the article. I think that the real issue and i think what i would like to see debated is that National Security has been put at risk by those violating confidentiality. And those leaking the information to make american citizens and others more vulnerable. Democrats and some republicans are demanding more information about the Oval Office Meeting saying that the president has potentially put National Security at risk. I am calling on the white houses to make the transscript of the russian meeting available to the intelligence committees as soon as possible. Reporter sources said that the information was partly from israeli intelligence, the israeli ambassador said they still have full confidence in the information sharing relationship. Lets talk about the big bomb shell with the leader of the Republican Party in california. The white house is trying to put out this huge fire pertaining to russia. What do you make of the report that President Donald Trump demanded that president donald former fbi director james comey drop the investigation. He said i hope you can see your way clear, thats different than drop it. Should he be talking about this . Probably not. Is he going to get better about doing these things . , i hope so. When pez obama said i want to be more flexible, the press did not spend so much time on this. When he sold uranium, not a word about that. So that was a horrible thing to do, give them our uranium and nobody seems to care but trump says, let former fbi director james comey go and the world comes to an end, i do not buy it. What about the fact that he was having this conversation. Like bill clinton. Let me finish, the fact that he is having this conversation saying, i am hoping that you let former National Security advisor Michael Flynn go is a big implication. If you look throughout history including bill clinton on the tarmac, they all talk to the fbi and the attorney general, they would like all of the investigations to go away, again, President Donald Trump is wrong for saying it, but its not the grand problem that some on the left would like it to be. The uranium sale was, but this has no effect. But people are saying that now that the momentum is building for a special prosecutor, do you think that is going to happen now . You will not see a special prosecutor, you will see continued calls for one because thats good politics in the divided era. The lefts goal is to grouped the Trump Administration like eight years ago they wanted to ground the obama administration, this is the era that we are in, President Donald Trump should not give them fodder and the republicans should pass Health Reform and things will get better. You are talk being about republican policies but thats now stalled with what is happening, especially after yesterday and today. By not reforming the tax code, you allow these things to take priority. If the republicans would govern, they would not have problems but they are sitting on their hands and wringing their hands instead of being leaders. Thing are divided but you have other republicans, senator graham who said you cannot trust the russians or what their intept intent is. The president did not do anything illegal but if you are going to talk to the russians about anything sensitive, run it through the system first. Thats senator graham, he is saying you should not have been speaking to the russian officials especially when it comes to a matter of National Security. Eight years ago we were going to try the russian reset with hillary clinton. It did not work. You should always try to work with a new administration. Every president has done this. What does this do in regards to our relationship with israel. Nothing. But what if something happens and a soldier from israel is taken out. He has changed very little but this is the age we are in, i wonder what its like eight years from now or four when there is a democrat president and if we get this vitriol on the right. I feel it will happen again. Thank you, tom, another serious allegation launch against President Donald Trump that we are going to continue to follow throughout the day today. Anger and heart ache were on display during the penalty phase of the Antolin Garcia torres trial. The District Attorney talked about the punishment. Last week, it was decided that he was guilty of the murder of sierra lamar. The 15 Year Old Girl vanished on her way to school and her body as never found. Prosecutors called her friends to the stand. They told jurors that the killing left them scared. The prosecution took the evidence that the fact that her body has never been found to use that as an aggravate factor saying that he left no trace behind for her family. The lawyers told the jurors that the guilty verdict will insure that Antolin Garcia torres will die in prison, the only difference is will it be from Natural Causes or lethal enjeks, we have our legal analyst here. Prosecutors today said that the Death Penalty is the only fair and just verdict, how steep of a mountain to climb is that to get the Death Penalty. Its difficult, you are talking about a human life and in this case, the real hurdle that they have to get over is, there is no body, i have to think that some of the jurors, in the back of their minds, even though they believed beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed this murder, that they were going to be asking themselves a question, what if i am wrong, what if she shows up and the Death Penalty is administered. We cannot undo that. The lawyer said Antolin Garciatorres life has value even after the guilty verdict and should not be extinguished. We heard horrible things that enraged the jury and they had a quick guilty verdict but how effective will the arm be . Its interesting that the District Attorney is putting on 20 witnesses. I know, when i think, you bring all of that emotion in front of the jury as to why his life should be taken, at some point, the jury may shut down to that many people. I remember when i tried a case, we had a horrible picture of a murder. There were District Attorneys that put it on the board. People became desense tiesed to it. People are thinking, put on your most powerful emotional witnesses. Now we go to the defense and thary trying to show mitigating circumstances that his life is worth saving, they are showing that he was mistreated by his dad. In fact his dad is still in state prison. Thats an explanation, look at how he was raised look at his mentor, his dad and look how he acted. They have an easier task at a certain level and contrary to the District Attorney, they should put on a lot of witnesses that can talk about the value of his life and why it should be spared but with a jury verdict, it tells me they are convinced, beyond a reasonable doubt, almost to a certainty, that he committed the murder. That is why, if i had to guess, i would say they are heading to the Death Penalty. The issue of where her body might be and if Antolin Garcia torres has that information, when should he bring that up if he wants to get his life spared before or after the sentence. Common sense tells me they are going to wait until after the sentence. After, if they bring back the Death Penalty, they might go to the family. I have to think, if one of my kids were killed, you think, the verdict comes back after death and now you are going to admit that you did it and now you are going to tell me where my child is, its too late. Those are facts that i do not want to know, you have said you have done it, i know my child is gone for sure. There is always hope in the paints minds, but if Antolin Garciatorres goes to them and says, i will tell you where she is, it tells you that, you did it, i have no hope. Do i care how you did it, maybe those are facts i do not want to know. I think that the family may say, no, let them put you to death. Those are hard things to think about. Its going to be emotional. Notice, the attorney, the District Attorney, not the one that tried the guilty phase, he was preparing for the Death Penalty phase while the guilty phase was going on. Thats how good attorneys do it. Thank you michael. Now we are going to oakland and the deadly oakland warehouse fire. Today, the families of 18 of the victims joined together to take action against those that they blame for the warehouse fire. Among those being sued is pg e. Henry is live in the news room. The lawsuit allegation that pg e was neglect. Reporter the lawsuit names the landlord and the couple who were the main tenants in the warehouse but also pg e. 36 people died when a fire broke out at an unlicensed warehouse in oakland. A lawsuit says pg e was negligent for failing to provide safe electrical service. They contributed to this fire, they did not follow their own rules, they exhibited a willful and blatant disregard for the safety of the people that lived in the building. They failed to bring safe power into the ghost ship. Thats why they are being brought in, its not a matter of deep pockets, its a matter of culpability. Reporter this woman said she was reluctant to get involved in litigation but knew she had to take action. We want to make sure this does not happen. Peoples 22 year old chirp should not be dying because they wanted to listen to music. The company said their thoughts and prayers with were with the family. Reporter the utility said. We have no reports of electric theft or any or anomalies from this location. The lawsuit also names chor ng and the main 10 ent derick almena, also known as derick ion, tenant derick almena, also known as Derick Derick almena, also known as derick ion. The lawsuit says that the charges can noting legally supported. Other attorneys are filing a separate claim against the city of oakland, saying that they turned a blind eye to the situation that existed there. Thank you henry. Coming up, trespassers scale the Golden Gate Bridge as official stress that the bridge is safe interest attacks. If you thought that controversy in basketball was going to calm down, no, is gone up. Death threats towards the warriors center. We will explain with all of the korches prior to game two coverage prior to game two. Its a cool breezy day but change are on the way changes are on the way we have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break. Welcome back to ktvu news, all of the news, weather and information you need to know throughout your day. The warriors host the spurs tonight. A lot of the focus is on the center. He has received Death Threats over his collision with the spurs leading scorer, we live at the stadium. Coach Gregg Popovich went off on him. That got spurs fans more riled up. Reporter yesterday i was riled up because what i felt about Gregg Popovichs statements were, they were irresponsible because i knew that spurs fans and basketball fans that review the against the warriors would take this to another level on social media and it would get ugly, for Gregg Popovich to sim out an individual and make the comments calling him a dirty player, i knew it would get to this, i think it was irresponsible of the coach and he should know better. Any time you bring up manslaughter as an analogy for a guy committing a common foul, its ridiculous, but this has gotten big. In san francisco, they have a sign up that says, zsa is innocent. Its spiraled out of control. With regards to the game. Great 25point come back by the warriors in game one, whether he was in there or not, you have to credit the warriors with their effort and thats being swept under the rug, thats annoying for basketball fans that do not like the subtext stories rising to where they are bigger than the game. You saw the foul, you can be the judge, he said he did not do it on purpose. The only guy that said he did not care if it was intentional but it cost them the game is Gregg Popovich. I do not think thats fair, i do not care who you are playing, you have to come back from that and they did not hold the lead. Thats on them. I think that Gregg Popovich is trying to change the narrative. No question about that. The thing that is annoying, Gregg Popovich is a hypocrite because bruce who played for him for eight years made his career by doing the same play that zsa zsa made was known for that. He made a name for that, they are saying that was not illegal then but it is now. It does not matter. Is a reckless play, it was a dangerous play now and then, i have to say, 32 seconds after that foul, 32 seconds later. Aldri drnghts ge committed a similar play, he closed in on steph curry and stef spreads his leg when he lands. I have heard him saying that stef, because of his fragile ankles has to have learned to land that way, this is not an uncommon event and Gregg Popovich pleu this out of proportion, changing the narrative away from his team blowing a 25point lead. If he is such a great coach, where was he in helping them not blow the lead. So they have to do it without him tonight. The warriors are looking to go 10 and zero in the playoffs, mostly under mike brown. This is his eighth game filling in. Hopefully you do not jinx it. Had the warriors not lost to utah in the last week of the regular season, they would have lost 25 out of 26. Remember in the fourth quarter, they did not play starters in the fourth quarter. Quickly, have you noticed any change in the security because you are talk bg Death Threats, i know that they have metal detectors but anything different . Not on our way into the game. I know that there is a lot of plain clothes security people but the anticipation and the stress and the ang site is rached anxiety is ratcheted up. Remember that the Death Threats on instagram just happened over the last few hours, we have not had a chance to talk to officials to find out if they have ramped up security or if its business as usual. Its going to be an entertaining night for a lot of reasons tonight. Thank you guys, see you before the game. Less check in with our meteorologist. I was surprised how cool it was this morning. All of the cloud cover this afternoon, really enhancing the cooling with temperatures five to 10 degrees cooler for our inland cities today.

Getting in and out of the park is going to be brisk for some. The system responsible for our cool down is bringing scattered showers over Northern California and the sierras and at home. A little bit of patchy drizzle. We may have squeezed out a few showers over portions of the north bay. Its not a big deal.
