president well into his 80s of a serious felony, thatrillionequires a mental state of willingness and stating that during biden's interview he could not remember the general time frame of his vice presidential terms, or when his son beau died. >> i know there's some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events. there's even referenced that i don't remember when my son died, how in the hell dare he raise that? frankly, when i was asked a question, i thought to myself, wasn't any of their business. >> special counsel robert herr also writing the evidence does not establish mr. biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. the report did establish that biden kept sometimes top secret material pertaining to the military and foreign policy. they also said that biden kept handwritten notebooks that had information implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods, some found inside his delaware home. next to ordinary items, which they deemed was considered junk. the

special counsel, noting that that set him apart from trump, stating biden turned in classified documents to the national archives and the department of justice consented to the search of multiple locations, including his home, sat for a voluntary interview, so shah, abc news, los angeles, is. >> my mom was a hero. >> a son's pain put into words as police in the east bay say they've now identified his mother's killer for more than 50 years ago, a california woman false dozens of feet down into a hole. >> and you would not want to be where she ended up. we'll tell you how it turned out. plus, hey , san francisco, baby. >> come on. yeah >> oh, that's awesome. it is burning up in las vegas. you have to see who elvis is picking to win super bowl 58. >> should i do an elvis impersonation? no. all coming up. but first, here's a look at what's coming up tonight on

knocked off in the playoffs. warriors visiting indiana know the dubs traded corey joseph at the deadline to indiana for a second round pick. he literally swapped locker rooms. steph curry did not miss the backup point guard. he was on fire six for six from deep. we're talking way downtown. bang in the second half was more of the same. brandon pisemsky with a dime for steph. it was really fired up. another three ball warriors shot 53% from downtown. but that wasn't the biggest number tonight. steph with his 11th three of the game puts him over 23,000 career points. he had 42 on the night. he's the 34th player in history to achieve that mark as the warriors blow out the pacers 131 109. and maybe they've discovered some chemistry. abc seven sports sponsored by river rock casino. and we will be right
