5:01 am
not facing the public. her attorney has given a statement on what happened and the investigation. good morning to you. it is saturday, june 22nd. i'm gloria rodriguez. nice start to the weekend so far. yes. >> we have some pretty dense fog at the coast though, so if you're going to be along the shoreline in the next couple of hours or even through the morning hours, you can see that fog there forming along the coast. but you also probably heard about the heat advisory, which is on today from 11:00 to 10:00 at night. and this is for the inland valleys and the hills where we're looking at the possibility of heat related illnesses, because the temperatures are going to get really warm. there's a look at the fog, the sun up at 547. and you'll notice that all the temperatures from the mid 50s to upper 50s, from san jose, hayward and oakland with 51 san francisco. half moon bay is at 50. and our sutro tower camera you can see the low cloud deck there. so you know you'll be comfortable at the shoreline even with the upper 40s. right now, it's chilly in santa rosa

5:03 am
mayor tao's home in oakland. four hours later, they hauled off boxes and bags of evidence, brass points out. the warrants were for the address where tao li's not for mayor tao specifically, it suggests that the information that they wanted, whether that information itself suggests criminality or is simply something that corroborates other information, was located there or on a device. the feds also targeted two homes related to the duong family. they own california waste solutions, a garbage recycling company that operates in the east bay and south bay. the wong's are also huge political donors, but the fact that it's our mayor, it's someone who's in leadership that who, you know, ousted the police chief. nina joyner is a small business owner in oakland. she says tao is innocent until proven guilty, but her concern is how this will play out in the court of public opinion, especially as mayor tao is facing a recall. in november, joyner is part of a growing chorus of people asking the
5:04 am
mayor to resign. she believes mayor tao's personal issues are distractions that hurt oakland's reputation to attract talent and investments. >> we just had a shooting and we just got a we just got a chief of police and for this event to happen, we can't even have our mayor come out. we couldn't have her come out and talk about it. this is this is this is unheard of. >> attorney brass wants to emphasize that mayor tao was not arrested and that there's no restrictions on her ability to perform her duties as mayor. legal experts tell us this investigation could drag on months, if not longer. in oakland, anser hassan, abc seven news. >> in the days since the raids, we've been getting new information about the political corruption investigation from someone interviewed by the fbi. the mayor's former chief of staff. she spoke to the i-team's dan noyes. >> not only did i run her office, i was very instrumental in helping run her campaign, renee webb tells me. >> she served as chief of staff for shengtao for a year and a
5:05 am
half, and that she questioned the amount of money andy duong was funneling to the campaign. webb says she shared her concerns with the fbi in a meeting february 3rd of last year. she gave me texts and emails from the fbi that confirmed the meeting and just the line of questioning. >> i could tell that they had already been looking into, you know, some of their kind of pay to play type of activities. >> oh, really? what sorts of things were they saying in terms of the questions about pay to play, just about board appointed agents, about contracts, about andy, you know, about the duong family. webb says she knew thursday's raid by the fbi was coming. >> we spotted andy duong leaving his house and his name on evidence boxes that the irs agents carried out of the duong family business, california waste solutions, the lead investigator from the oakland public ethics commission, confirms to me that the duong's are still under investigation for a money laundering scheme. court documents i've received alleged that andy duong arranged
5:06 am
contributions to candidates including shengtao, using straw donors. some of the phony donors allegedly came from phuc tran, president of the vietnamese chamber of commerce. in response , phuc tran said he wouldn't cooperate in the investigation. based on his fifth amendment right to be free from being compelled to incriminate himself. webb tells me the end for her as chief of staff came on the day tao was sworn in, and that the mayor's partner, andre jones, tried to bring his ex-wife into the ceremony. >> and finally, i was like, andre, i don't know what's wrong with you, but you gotta get the hell out of here. i was like, this is too much. i don't know what's going on. shang was all crying. she was like, why would you do this to me on my day? like, this is crazy. webb tells me she texted shengtao during the raid to say she's praying for the mayor. she has a good heart and she came in this wanting to do it. but sometimes that power and that machine just takes people to another level in the wrong direction. yeah, the way, wrong direction. and we're
5:07 am
all paying the consequence for it. >> webb also tells me that andre jones, who doesn't work for the mayor's office, was trying to arrange jobs for her supporters for the i-team. dan noyes, abc seven news. >> well, this is clearly an ongoing investigation and we're going to stay on it. so stay with abc seven news to learn the latest about what's happening with the mayor and how it will affect the city of oakland. we will continue to update abc seven news.com and the abc seven bay area app. happening overnight, one person has died in san francisco following a shooting near the civic center. officers were called out to mission and ninth streets at around 7 p.m, where they found the victim. police found and detained a possible suspect. happening today, oakland police will deploy additional officers at the fifth annual lake fest just three days after 15 people were shot near lake merritt. organizers of the summer festival are determined to keep violence from marring their event. there is a strict no

5:09 am
lipson, saying both he and depape were disappointed by the jury's decision. he tells abc seven news he took particular issue with the prosecution, adding an aggravated kidnaping charge. >> it's really unfortunate it was charged this way. it was sort of a textbook vindictive prosecution as soon as they found out that the case was that the attempted murder charge was going to be dismissed, they added this charge, an accusation that san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins denied. >> jenkins, speaking to the press following friday's verdict at her office that was dealt with by the court. >> we have charged mr. we charged mr. depape with what he was guilty of, as clear by the jury's verdict, according to california law, the kidnaping charge carries a life sentence without the possibility of parole. >> all of this coming after depape was sentenced last month to 30 years in prison in his federal case after he serves his 30 years in federal custody, he will be at the age of 75. >> instead of being deported

back to canada, he will be brought back to california to spend the end of his life in a california prison. >> legal analyst stephen clark says despite lipson's objections to the outcome, he wasn't surprised by the jury's verdict. friday afternoon. >> and i think what the message was today is that mr. depape is extremely dangerous to society and there's no safe place for him other than state prison. >> depapes lawyer says he will appeal the verdict, a move clark believes won't make much of a difference. >> that video evidence and his statements to the police are so damaging that it's hard to say that any jury would have come to a different conclusion. >> tim johns, abc seven news. >> well, we are getting you ready for the weekend. let's get a check of your forecast with lisa. good morning lisa. >> hey there gloria. good morning everyone. you can see the marine layer underneath yesterday's full moon. they call that the strawberry moon. and it is surely a pretty start with that sun coming up. nice and early before 6:00. but the

5:21 am
half moon bay, montara and even stinson for a short time throughout the afternoon. and then the fog will be moving back. so that's going to allow for the better sleeping weather as we get into the evening hours. and uh. so that should bode well. just a one day event. 548 the official sunrise. 835 it sets. that's 14 hours and 47 minutes of daylight. and of course, thursday was the first day of summer. so the first weekend of summer you can see the low cloud deck there from the city and all the way down into southern california. air quality today, good north bay, the coast, the central bay, and it's moderate in our inland east bay, the south central bay and the santa clara valley. but it should improve as we get into your sunday. and that fog will be coming back and allowing for stronger onshore flow. there's a look at alcatraz so you can see how foggy it is out there. our pier 39 camera swung around 51 san francisco, 55, in hayward and redwood city, and from vollmer peak. low clouds and

fog. but there's a look at that. 99% full moon, 48 degrees in santa rosa. it is 48. in petaluma with temperatures in the mid 50s elsewhere. so a cool start. we're going to come up a good 40 degrees in our inland valleys. and that's why we have that heat advisory. but boy you can see all that fog out there. so a summer sizzle just for the day. and that will be mainly in the hills. the inland valleys. you'll see how quickly they warm come. ten, 11:00. so that heat advisory keeping it toasty. and you should know, you shouldn't be spending a whole lot of time outside in the sun. you really get dehydrated quickly. and also keep an eye on those pets and the little kids out there. so mild with typical fog along the coast. but we will get into a little bit of sunshine here and there before it comes back. so there's a look at the marine layer as we get into the morning hours. you can see how it pulls away from marin and then slightly for san mateo, and then we'll look for it to move right back along the coast and locally inland for a cooler sunday. so
5:23 am
the winds notice how light they are throughout the morning hours. pretty much nonexistent. but we do get into that typical sea breeze come the afternoon. so sunday temperatures low to mid 90s. that's a typical summer day right in our inland valleys 70s to mid 70s around the bay shore. little change into monday and tuesday, so we'll settle into a good summertime pattern after this. so 100 by the delta, fairfield and livermore. so very hot and upper 90s for places like lakeport 96 in santa rosa, 88 in fremont. and then you'll see that 62 at half moon bay. so overnight tonight you'll notice that the temperatures mainly in the 50s. so you'll see a few 60s out towards antioch, but with the breeze and the low cloud deck coming back should be an okay night. as we get through the early morning hours. in terms of the cooldown, the accuweather seven day forecast, you can see today the hottest day out of the next seven, then cooling back and then should be a nice beginning to the workweek. and then by the end of next week, we're slightly
5:24 am

5:52 am
meaning that we are looking at it close to the surface visibility anywhere. when you get right to it, half mile, quarter of a mile. so certainly be careful out there. and as we look at our exploratorium camera, you can see how gray it is. current numbers in the upper 40s, half moon bay, water temperatures, very cold. that's why it's so easy to drop off into the upper 40s. 54 redwood city 55 hayward and oakland 51. in san francisco. and another view here of sutro where you can see the fog at about getting close to 1000ft there. 48 santa rosa, petaluma. mid 50s for you. napa and fairfield. so this will evaporate some of it. and then we'll see some of it just kind of hang out along the san mateo coast. so the summer symbol sizzle for one day. our inland valleys. it is going to be certainly hot near 100 degrees or better. and our heat advisory for the inland valleys and the hills from mount diablo, the interior mountains of the north bay, the hills around santa clara. and then we will have that fog hanging out san mateo coast, but limited sunshine from
5:53 am
time to time. and then it comes back. here's a look at the light winds throughout the day. we will get that typical sea breeze at about one 2:00, and you'll notice it kicks up to over 20 miles an hour. and so really less than what we've seen in the past several days. and the air quality, well, you know, it should be pretty good. but notice as we look at the fog here, it continues to just kind of hang out right along the coast. so it's noon and you're still gray around half moon bay. and then slowly it wants to erode. but you know, by the afternoon it still is looking like it's not going to totally do that. so there will be areas of fog around the coast today. livermore 100 degrees 92 on sunday. settling into those low 90s. before we cool further into thursday and friday looking at upper 80s santa clara, 93, san jose today about 88 redwood city. that's a warm day. 84 palo alto with 70 downtown limited sun here, so we'll call it partly sunny. 88 in petaluma
5:54 am
with santa rosa checking in at 96 over along the bay shore. a nice 79 in oakland today, 89 castro valley and you head inland. we're looking at some pretty toasty temperatures. hopefully you have the pool or the ac livermore at 198 in pleasanton. so the accuweather 70 forecast that one day hot sizzling event inland with near 180 around the bay shore. and then we're at least six degrees cooler tomorrow, but still some nice summer time weather for sunday. and then really getting back to where we are in the average zone for monday, tuesday and wednesday. upper 50s, near 60 at the coast, low 90s inland so there'll be a little sun at the coast, but fog really isn't going to go away. totally okay at the coast. >> still a little cool, which you know, is always nice. yeah. thank you lisa. well, next beauty is in the eye of the beholder. see which canine was crowned in the north bay as the world's ugliest dog. but they're so cute
