larry: the i team has learned the fbi is still in negotiation with the ransomware that hacked into the city of oakland's network. ama: stephanie sierra has been following the story since it first broke and she's here now with the latest. reporter: we just confirmed more than 4000 oakland city employees are at risk of being impacted. that number does not include the thousands of former employees also at ris dating back to 2010. we have been trying to get an interview with the mayor for weeks now to get a sense of what's happening, but we have been told five different times, she's busy. so today we showed up at a press conference on an unrelated topic to be able to speak with her directly. >> we have been hearing from people who have had their credit cards compromise. in some cases their identities stolen. they want to hear from you about

how you are working to resolve this. can you provide us an update? >> the update is that this is an ongoing investigation. we are working closely with the fbi and with opd as well. we have an amazing staff of i.t. folks in the city of oakland. >> how long do you anticipate it will take for this to be resolved? some have said years, i want to hear from you. >> the systems will be online hopefully the next few weeks or so. it's just about the manpower to really get all of the systems backup. but we are optimistic we can get there the next few weeks or the next month. reporter: are the phones working? this is brittany garza. >> we can check our voicemails. i can't hear anything. or no one can hear me. reporter: they make up a small fraction of the more than 4000 current oakland city employees is possibly impacted in the attack. plus thousands of former employees dating back to 2010.

how many people to have been notified already that they have been compromised, you know if you're done with that process? >> is going to be an ongoing process. we have notified current employees and we are notifying employees that have left the city so it's going to be an ongoing process in regards to making sure that we are thorough. >> and it's still happening right now? >> it is still happening. let me be very clear -- this is a huge underinvestment with regards to previous administrations into our i.t. systems. this is something that we have inherited. >> has your information been compromised as a part of this? >> absolutely. i've been here for 10 years. it includes me as well. >> housing questions? >> it is a ransomware question. can i still ask? >> nope. it is already three. thank you so much. reporter: as you can see, we were only allowed three questions. the i.t. department currently has 17 vacancies and i wanted to ask the mayor whether any of

this was staffing related. we do know oakland city council allocated more than $3.3 million to fund three additional i.t. positions and support for the department in the last budget cycle. we want to look into how exactly the money was spent. larry: hang with us here, steph. phil matier joins us for the conversation. even though the mayor was smiling, there was some tension at the news conference, yes? reporter: yes, in part, larry, these are conversations. there's a lot of confusion and then part they want to hear from the mayor about what progress is being made. that has been missing over the past several weeks. and we've tried several times, five times to get an interview and that's why we showed up

today. but certainly a lot of questions. we do know former employees are frustrated because they are not sure whether or not they have been implicated in this and they are hearing from their credit companies. they are trying to move forward and they don't know what to do. larry: let me get to phil here. how are city workers reacting to this? on the face of it, we have more questions than we have answers. reporter: we do. it appears it will be that way for some time to come. what i'm hearing from oakland workers is that some people are getting notifications and other people are not. there's a huge number of retirees who are also called in this -- caught in this and it is confusing to them. some people are being advised to shut down, some are in the middle of buying homes putting into this, so there's a level of frustration. some of the worker unions actually -- actually backed the mayor when she was running heavily so they are not inclined to criticize. but other unions are becoming

critical and i wouldn't be surprised if you didn't hear from the police officers union by the end of the week saying we need some answers or we are going to possibly file litigation. larry: so this is just one of a number of issues in the city of oakland. they are still looking for a new police chief, city administrator. we have had no updates on the howard terminal project in connection with the oakland a's. i don't know if there's chaos, but there certainly is a lack of information, phil. [laughter] reporter: that is oakland. to be quite honest with you, it did not start today. it's been going on for a while. stephanie is out there trying to get some answers right now. i'm not sure the mayor has answers. because you have a dual thing going on -- a criminal investigation involving the fbi and the last i heard, the number of the ransomware once is something like $9 million. on the other hand you have the vix on it. the i.t. department has been

scaled down or ignored over the past couple of years which is common for oakland and other cities to do, forget about the route because they want to put in a new swimming pool. so that is also catching up with them. chaos or just sort of stuck? that is oakland right now. larry: go ahead, steph. reporter: the city is facing a multimillion dollar deficit this upcoming budget cycle, that is also thrown into the mix here. in the last two years, their i.t. department budget has been reduced by $700,000. that's what the mayor was pointing to when talking about underinvestment. certainly a plethora of problems here. larry: a lot of problems and no apparent solutions immediately incite. thank you so much. ama: california is close to adopting a landmark deal that would cap profits by all companies. governor newsom reached a deal with democratic lawmakers that would give the california energy commission the authority to cap profits by oil refiners. the commission would be able to

circumstancess. -- set of circumstances. i do think what is going to result from this is a benefit to donald trump. and he will use it, as i his saturday post was all about, was to raise money. his lackluster fundraising in his campaign so far is problematic. this money he could be raising from the efforts this weekend probably will go to his defense account. again, he's not going to pay for anything, he is going to use this money to further his interests in making sure he has political and legal representation. larry: what do you think in general this case will do for mr. trump's political power? obviously you've got the law to deal with and also ron desantis and other candidates that will battle it out in terms of who is on top of the

republican ticket. reporter: i don't think can do anything to disturb that support that he has. he will continue to have that support. i think that's what the republicans are looking at. ron desantis is walking a very fine line. he doesn't want to alienate the maga republicans. i don't think that is really going to impact his bid for the presidency among republicans. larry: do you think the case will help or hurt democrats? >> i think it hurts democrats, because i don't think this is the best case that should have been brought. so it is going to look like there is piling on. there are a number of cases pending right now. the one in georgia is the most important, because he was trying to manipulate the election results. all in all, democrats get hurt in this one. larry: do you think this case
