statement, never before in our nation's history has this been done, the democrats have cheated countless times over the decades including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent which happens to be the former president of the united states has never happened before. his legal team issued a more concise statement reading president trump has been ignited and he did not commit any crime, we will vigorously fight this political prosecution in court. julian: in a statement, his former lawyer, michael cohen, wrote i take solace that no one is above the law, not even a former president. today's indictment is not the end of the chapter but rather the beginning. now that the children's have been filed, it's better for the case to let the indictment speak for itself. cohen testified before the grand jury earlier this month, he was a crucial witness in the my had -- in the manhattan d.a.'s critical indic we spoke with prr rory little from uc law san

francisco. >> we only have one indictment here and eight an invite -- and an indictment is not a conviction. has not yet been a trial or proof of his intense, and that is the question, what did he know and what did he intend about that payment? we pretty much know the payment happened. so, you know, you have to let things take their course. legally, it's a very serious moment, when you have indicted a former president of the u.s. it's never happened before in our history. all we know is that he's been indicted by a state grand jury, in other words, this is not a federal case, there are federal investigations still going on. this is a new york state case. so it's not a federal tax case, not a federal anything else, it is under some kind of state law that has to do with the accuracy and truthfulness of business records and certain filings under state law. and we haven't seen it yet.

so we will see it i assume if not in the next couple of hours then certainly by tomorrow morning. then we will have to see how the president reacts. will he voluntarily appear in new york? will he resist? i don't think he will be taken away in handcuffs. but he's going to get the treatment, someone of his stature would normally get, but he won't get special treatment. he will have to be fingerprinted and there will be a mom shot -- a mug shot out. a photograph. that all remains to be seen. larry: according to mr. trump's lawyer, he may be arraigned as soon as next week. joining us to talk about this issue is phil former member of congress, jackie speier. let me start with you, jackie. when we spoke last week, you expressed reservations about pursuing this case in particular, as a post of the case in georgia involving

possible -- as opposed to the case in georgia involving possible election interference, or the federal election with january 6. give me your opinion know that the case has been filed. >> it does not change my opinion about which case a stronger but i would say, he innocent until proven guilty. when he to see the indictment and the charging document -- we need to see the indictment and the charging document and that will tell us more. about let's be very clear -- but let's be very clear, this is historic and also tragic. this is a president who during his office was obstructing office, during the mother investigation -- mueller investigation, but he could not be charged because he was president. he has no longer president and he will be treated like any

other american. this conjurer has acted independently and -- this jury has acted independently and when need to let the process move forward. the rule of law is what holds this country together. julian: we will see of the former president will turn himself in. phil, what we have just witnessed is truly unprecedented and many are wondering what would -- what might be the political future of a former president now formally being indicted. what do you make of his political future? we are hearing from trump world right now that they might be looking to put that mug shot the former president might be taking in the coming days on a t-shirt for a campaign. >> i wouldn't doubt it. this is the donald trump show. we have been witness it for six or seven years, this is another chapter. you can watch the theater unfold. i will tell you right now the idea of demonstrations in

support of him, you will probably not be seeing that in the bay area. people let city hall are not bracing for any big outpouring one way or the other. but donald trump is a master theater and he is treating this theatrically and politically. as far as unprecedented goes, it was unprecedented that bill clinton wound up being impeached for the monica lewinsky affair. what's unprecedented is a former president is being indicted. what's unprecedented is we have had two presidents go into impeachment trials in one generation. this is uncharted, unprecedented, but very much the norm now and especially in donald trump's world. and he will try to use this to his advantage. it might upset a lot of people. but he's not want to back down, he doubles down -- one to back down, he doubles down. >> i would just add that, in the run-up to this indictment, he's actually seeing his numbers grow among republicans, and his

lead over desantis grow by some 30 points. so, he is now 50% of the republicans supporting his candidacy for president. so he will use this as phil was saying, and i think the american people will have the opportunity to witness what the rule of law really means. because they are not concerned about politics. they are concerned about what the constitution says, what the state law's, and that will be determinative. >> it will be interesting to see what donald trump's reaction is going to be. already he is saying it is politically motivated and democrats are using the judicial system to target him. it's not a question they did something wrong just find anything on him -- he's got his politics narrative worked out and he's blasting it out within seconds of the announcement. i mean, we will have our this for weeks and months to

come. he's going to have a mug shot. he's going to be printed. that's going to be printed. it's going to be in newspapers and possibly on t-shirts as well from both sides. larry: jackie, let me ask you this, we have these cases, the legal system, but there's also the political system, and they are intertwined, whether we want them to be or not. how do you think this plays for democrats? obviously there will be some people that say we are finally going to get somewhere with this but on the other side we've seen donald trump, he's very skilled in these situations and every time you think, uh-oh, this might be the moment, no, it's not. >> i think we have a long time to go before the november election in 2024. so there's a lot that will take place. if the republicans continue to support donald trump as their candidate, i think it does

strengthen the candidacy of joe biden -- not just because the democrats will vote for him, but those who are in the middle, who are undecided, who are that s wing, where they declined to declare with either party, they are really the voters that both campaigns will focus on in terms of trying to tip the scales. i think the circus associated with then president donald trump and former president donald trump will become exhausting for the american people and even for some republicans. >> when we have heard from washington and democrats, do something like this make them want donald trump to be the nominee? do they want something like this to get america's attention as opposed to desantis or someone new who does not have this kind of baggage? >> desantis is also a

quantity in washington as well. he has a record there that can be used against him. he came in as a tax -- one of those interested in in making sure that it was more of a libertarian approach to government. that we would have less government. now as governor of florida, he's taken on disney and so many others. i think both of them have liabilities. but i do believe that a redo of biden-trump really does benefit the democrats in the long run. julian: we will certainly have to see how moderate on the line republicans react to these news, not the folks that were at the capitol january 6, perhaps those that were ready to come to his aid once again when the former president was sayin out to the streets and protest for me when we thought this

indictment could have been coming down a couple of weeks ago. i'm curious as to what both of you will most closely be watching in the days and weeks and months ahead as we see how this indictment plays out and also the other outstanding cases against the former president? >> i for 1 am just watching the show, because it's unprecedented. the theater of it is amazing. but it's going to be interesting to see how donald trump deals with this. as the congresswoman noted, he's picking up support, 50% of republicans. i'd be interested to see if and if they pick somebody else, if donald trump will say, i'm running as an independent, a third party candidate, and given the theater and controversy, america's obsession with them, he will be on that debate stage of he does that with the other two, hand he could be a spoiler in the selection, whether he's indicted or not. larry: jackie, final word? >> i'd say it's important

to remember there are so many orbits that have already -- so many of trump's orbits that have already gone to prison, you had cohen, manafort, stone, flint allport and while trump was president. so there's a cost those who have already taken a hit because of donald trump. and to somehow have him not be held responsible for the acts he really has directed would be just an absolute travesty on our rule of law. larry: jackie, phil, thanks for your time. we are only just beginning. i have that feeling. julian: expect the unexpected, as rory little a developing story right now. we will continue to follow this breaking news throughout the day and bringing the latest. throughout the evening. larry: --

julian: a stunning look at the damage caused by a hillside collapse in solano county, devastating a frontage road and wiping out a water line, forcing local residents to cut back on water usage immediately. the slide has collapsed

lopes wrote until -- road until further notice. larry: we are joined live with a look at the impact. ryan, that is severe. reporter: very much so, residents are not happy about these repercussions. after months of seeing rainfall across the bay area, many thought they no longer had to conserve water but npe in,erve e water now than ever. heavy damage on an access road next to 680 in solano county, this road is impossible, but beneath it is a damaged pipeline that provides all water to the venetian -- all water to venetia. residents are having to cut down on water usage. >> it's a bit of irony that it is pouring rain and we have a shortage of water. reporter: city officials say the water line runs three feet wide and is 10 feet below the surface.

4.5 million gallons of water run through it each day, bringing water from the delta. the city built the line in the 1960's. >> we noticed drop in pressure and immediate lisa cruz out to the field to see what was going on -- send crews out to the field to see what was going on and we found a leak in the area. reporter: they have not determined the official cause of the leak. they say land erosion could be a contribu eprs whileinish.oney and >> we wil get to this as quickly as we can. but this is not going to be a short or easy fix, or inexpensive fix. reporter: they are asking residents to cut down water usage by 40%. the city is now pulling water from lake hermon. it will have an earthy taste and smell with it but it is safe to drink. residents fear they will have to take on the cost of fixing the pipeline. >> i am retired and on a fixed

income like most people of course. just concerned what's going to happen. everybody's wondering the same thing. reporter: public works says they have assigned most of their staff to address this issue and brought out outside contractors and engineers to assist them. they don't know if they can just fix the leak or if they have to replace the pipe altogether. they are looking at a pretty extensive repair process. ryan curry, abc7 news. larry: you can imagine the reaction when residents here -- it'll be a little earthy tasting. julian: but they do say it is safe to drink. larry: i hope that is correct. julian: we will check in now with meteorologist sandhya patel with more good news about the drought in california. meteorologist: absolutely.

it's really exciting news. i want to show you a live picture showing you the coliseum. it is dry out there for the home opener tonight against the angels. 53 degrees at the start of the game at 7:07 p.m. when it is ending, 48 degrees. i would grab a hoodie before you go. the storm is in southern california where they are seeing heavy rain down there, some mountain snow. locally it is quiet here, if you clouds left over. -- a few clouds left over. let me take you back to october 1 on the drought monitor. you can see the severity of the drought. extreme to exceptional at the start of the water year, covering a good portion of california. the two worst categories. today, notice the reduction compared to october 1 in the drought. certainly a reduction in the coverage of the drought

warning. >> we are going to see a reduction in the police was because of this fbi investigation. reporter: an ongoing investigation into the antioch police department began with allegations of excessive force and police brutality involving eight officers. ews group also reports some allegedly obtained fake college degrees to get a pay increase. now the paper is reporting additional suspensions for officers for sending offensive text messages. >> several additional officers have been placed on administrative leave. reporter: the actions were not criminal but would not confirm with the police chief. they told us unfortunately it is a sensitive personal matter they are not able to discuss. >> we will not sweep these matters under the rug as we've done in the past and pretend that we have issues -- that we have a few issues with a few bad apples. it is clear we have a cultural and systemic problem that

persists to this very day. reporter: still below the years between 2013 and 2020. but this coffee shop one block from city hall was robbed thursday morning. in february, surveillance video shows this restaurant being looted. the manager says the rubber was inside for about 10 minutes and still more than 10 grand worth of property. >> i called halfway through it to see where they were at and they told me there was nobody available because they were understaffed. reporter: along with afficers, r says density will likely be able >> the residts see -- are goingy excessive amounts of money for potential law enforcement support from outside agencies. a loss of manpower. potential litigation. reporter: he says he wants more credibility and is ready to call special meeting with the police chief if necessary. larry: just ahead -- making reparations

not just a statewide effort either. julian: the bay area school district that could be the first in the

larry: berkeley unified school district will discuss the possibility of reparation payments for african-american students. julian: we spoke with community leaders about this effort. reporter: berkeley is the first of many things.

as a first on the nation to do so, berkeley unified school district is setting up a task force to consider reparations for african-american students. today we caught up with the superintendent who says there are still so many questions about how reparations could work . >> what would implementation look like? i'm excited for the task force to be created. and has not started yet. an informational session is happening tonight. reporter: a few key questions of implementation need to be answered -- how to fund such a program, what true reparations might look like, and how to structure and implement it. answer some of those questions. they would include 15-20 people from across the community. that means two board members, two busd central office three school site staff and as many as 13 community members, at least one of them will be student. >> i think healing can best start with our children. reporter: wilson is the executive director of healthy

blood families in berkeley. she says part of healing includes addressing disparity among black students historically. >> i am a descendants of the african diaspora, my ancestors were stolen from -- from ghana in 1785 and brought to a plantation, i understand intimately the downstream impacts of that. reporter: wilson believes reparations are necessary and hopes her group can be part of the conversation. wilson also hopes the task force effort can become a model for others to follow. >> i think it is a bold move. i'm part of the leadership. as a model for how to bring equity to black communities nationally. julian: california's first on the nationstate reparations task force is meeting in sacramento right now for day two of its second round of hearings this month. the task force today discussed how to ensure the reparations plan will be in line with the standards overseen by the united

nations and voted to approve several drafts of recommendations that will ultimately be in their final report. the final recommendations and report will include suggestions to eliminate inequities faced by black californians and could also include cash payments. up next -- an iteam investigation tracking down the sales of banned flavored tobacco. larry: it is banned, we know that. so why can it still be found in

>> building a better bay area. moving forward. finding solutions. this is abc7 news. >> so what are these?

>> these are disposable. >> this 18-year-old student was offered that product at this business. >> ok. we will do another inspection then. julian: the it issues that may be putting youth at risk. we are talking about the sale of band tobacco products across california -- banned tobacco products across california. larry: there are concerns the law is not being enforced. this is an investigation you will see only on 7. reporter: as we have been reporting the rules of this plan, they are very clear. the sale of flavored tobacco products are prohibited across the state. but what is the point of having a statewide ban, if it's not being enforced? here's what we found in sunnyvale. i was channel 7 -- i am with channel 7. this is a clerk at a smoke shop in sunnyvale. do you have any flavored

tobacco products? >> it isbanned. reporter: he is right. are banned as of late december this year. but most cities like sunnyvale already had restrictions in place prior to the state's ban. >> we don't have it. reporter: you don't have any? >> no. reporter: so what if you buy it online? can you pick it up here? >> we don't sell it, period. was so what we have here. reporter: public records obtained this business receive notices of violation for selling band products in april of last year and january of this year. christie is sunnyvale's neighborhood preservation manager who works with code enforcement. you are saying the business has not been caught selling flavored tobacco products since? >> they were before. but they stopped. reporter: when was that? >> they've been inspected fairly recently and they were in compliance. reporter: the team confirmed the

business was inspected twice this year. most recently march 4 and deemed to be in compliance. get 40's before, the team visited the business accompanied by an 18-year-old high school student and we saw the young man walk inside and followed him into listen to the conversation with the store clerk. >> i want to ask if i could get menthol jewel pods -- juul pods. julian: reporter: one of the many products included in the state ban. he said the store clerk had them in stock. this product is included in the ban. >> it is. reporter: the sale didn't take place because the store clerk dick clark -- did card the young man. the 18-year-old student was offered that product at this business. >> ok. >> we will go out and do another inspection then. reporter: she says she looked to

the entire -- through the entire store. >> i looked through the cabinets and the shelves and everything and they were not selling any flavors. reporter: but when we went into the same store four days later, we did see e-cigarette devices which are technically legal as long as there is no flavor. the fda has banned flavored tobacco products from being sold or distributed across the u.s. yet the products are still being advertised on their walls. along with other e-cig and vaporizing devices that sell flavored tobacco. weeks later, we tried calling the store again for comment. high this is stephanie with channel seven, is the owner in? the owner was not in but we spoke with the same store clerk. he denied offering menthol juul pods to a minor and may have offered last year the fda called them be removed from the u.s. market. the store clerk denied any further comment.

coming up tomorrow, we will tell you about another loophole investigators say he feeling access to california's tobacco black market. larry: this feels like whack a mole. it's hard. reporter: it is. tomorrow we are going to look into more of the access to the black market and why it is becoming more complicated for the retailers and consumers. julian: we appreciate your time. if you have a story for stephanie and the team, call this number on your screen. or, you can go

larry: time for the four at 4:00 . there's a push for a national no-fly list. a new bill would create this national no-fly list for passengers who are fined or convicted of assault and crewmembers on a flight. the faa reported more than 800 unruly passenger incidents last year right now airlines can refuse service to unruly passengers, but they can still travel on other airlines. i'm shocked this is the set up that we have now. as far as i'm concerned, if you are unruly on whatever airline, your next ticket should be on the greyhound. >> if you go to a restaurant or pretty much any business, they can say, you are banned

from coming in here ever again. i agree with this 100%. i'm surprised this is not already in place. >> i do, too. if they are going to act that way, unruly, they should be banned from all airlines. there's no excuse. julian: especially when you are attacking a flight attendant. none of this walkable situation that you can just go to another area. are you having storm fatigue? right? it is feeling a lot like winter outside. so much so that police in truckee are tired of it. they posted this picture writing, dear winds are, i'm breaking up with you. [laughter] i think it's time we start seeing other seasons, seven, summer is harder than you. -- seasons, summer is than you. [laughter] >> i think enough people are saying enough already, can we

just get some sunshine and warmth? i think it is fatigue. we've had a very productive winter to say the least with all the atmospheric river's. -- atmospheric rivers. i'm not surprised that people are feeling that a little bit. how clever is that? summer is hotter than you. >> shout out to whoever is doing social media. >> a pay raise and some sunshine. [laughter] larry: move over, barrel shaped cans, slimmer models are moving in on your territory. many are using skinny cans. they say consumers seats all drinks as more sophisticated -- see tall drinks as more sophisticated. as long as you don't shrink the can and the ounces -- i don't care what you put it in.

it could be a football. just make sure it is 12 ounces or however many answers you prefer -- ounces you prefer. julian: and the alcohol by volume, the stuff that people are actually concerned about. [laughter] >> you can fit more in the refrigerator this way, too. the slimmer cans. meteorologist: i don't think there's anything wrong. if this is the way you can fool people into thinking, the slimmer the can -- larry: the slimmer i am going to be? [laughter] >> i was going there. but i decided not to say it. larry: the subconscious message they are trying to send us. may be less calories. >> right. and you end up drinking more and you and spending more money buying what.

[laughter] what specials do you have? are you coming up with new offerings each week?

it sounds like demand is right there with supply. >> sure. a lot of the products for the store were developed for the store, separate from what we produce for the wholesale or the farmers market, so people are really coming here to find out what is new that we've been working on and there have been new items that we have done since opening. but a lot of the items that we opened with were developed over the last year. larry: can you tell us some of the places where folks may have been able to try some of your delicious creations before? he had been selling to wholesalers primarily up until now. >> yeah. we have been wholesaling since 2011. and we have delivered to cafes and restaurants and grocery stores and hotels, caterers all throughout the bay area. sum of our larger clients would be phil's coffee.
