>> building a better bay area. moving forward. finding solutions. kumasi: donald trump indicted. the former president facing federal charges for mishandling classified documents. how his lawyers are reacting this morning. reggie: protests to save public transit, demonstrators causing

headaches for drivers in the middle of the afternoon rush hour. kumasi: a new strategy from salesforce. what the company is planning to do to get workers back to the office. reggie: kumasi: we are starting with traffic. jobina: we're switching it up. with traffic, everything is pretty much fine. we do want to let you know for barth, the yellow line, there is going to be some disruption due to track upgrades. you are going to be relying on buses, so you should expect 30 minute delays. this is probably one of our busiest stretches if you are traveling through the toll plaza. in the south bay, we show you this picture of 101. drew: we are beginning friday in the mid to upper 50's. we do have a bit of a range. our coldest spot is at 49 in

clear lake. everybody is starting with overcast skies. clearly see that from the rooftop camera. it is a mostly cloudy start to the day. it is a breezy afternoon. temperatures cooler than yesterday, certainly below average for this time of year. reggie: in the investigation into former president trump's handling of classified documents. we know he was indicted yesterday as part of this investigation. cnn has obtained a transcript of the 2021 recording of trump where he reportedly admits to keeping secret documents and says "as president, i could have declassified, now i can't." jobina with more on the indictment and the reaction. jobina: the claim that he declassified documents found at his home has been a main point in his defense. abc news has learned he has been

indicted on at least seven charges. the indictment comes after more than 100 documents with classified markings were found at trump's mar-a-lago resort in august of 2022. trump has denied any wrongdoing, including a new video message released last night. the transcript from cnn would seem to refute those claims. more and more gop candidates have announced their bids to run against him. there is consolidating support behind trump in his bid for the nomination. a former bay area congresswomen, bay area political jackie speier, is not agree. jackie: you have a 20% voting block that is independent and will move one way or the other. i don't think being indicted two or three times -- and now he has been indicted twice -- is going to serve him well. the law applies to everyone.

no one is above the law. this will be an example of that. jobina: a recent poll found over half of those surveyed said trump should face criminal charges, but 20% said they w be inclined to vote for him anyway. this is the first time in american history a former president has faced federal charges. reggie: we are hearing from trump's lawyer on good morning america. he spoke with george stephanopoulos about what he knows about the indictment. george: what exactly did you learn from the special counsel? >> we learned the special counsel was hell-bent on criminalizing something i really don't think has a criminal basis under the presidential records act. we now have a summons to appear tuesday afternoon at 3:00. it has a summary of the types of charges we expect to see in the indictment. it puts a stamp of reality on something that really is unreal,

in terms of the weaponization of the department of justice. george: i know you are going to use that phrase, but it is not just the presidential records act. it is the espionage act, obstruction of justice, false statements. those are common crimes. >> all of which is predicated on the idea that you can send a message from the white house to the archivist to doj to use -- a regular dispute about documents in the former president's home, and turn that into a criminal investigation and a criminal raid. it all stems from the original corrupt and politicized source of weaponizing something that, by statute, is not a criminal offense. reggie: you can hear the full interview coming up at 7:00, and stay up-to-date on abc seven and there were news apps. we will send push alerts with any new developments as they occur. kumasi: the metropolitan transportation commission will discuss solutions to seemingly growing traffic issues.

some of the ideas would mean your commute would cost more. amanda del castillo the bay bridge toll plaza with more on the proposals. amanda: what if some bay area freeways were mowed -- were no longer free for drivers? imagine having to pay a toll wherever you travel. that is an idea being researched by the metropolitan transportation commission. the widespread whole idea would include all lanes of certain freeways, not just the express lanes. the price would vary by location and time of day. fence for tatian officials are considering the proposal as part of an effort to ease traffic congestion and help reduce greenhouse gas in missions. strategies include adding poles to freeways where there is a viable public transportation option. many of the corridors under consideration have public options running parallel to the road. another suggestion is adding poles to all major roads that

run next to the highways, to really limit drivers trying to go around the tolls. >> this is not a popular idea. i the same token, using pricing is shown to be perhaps the most effective way to meet our greenhouse gas reduction targets that are mandated by the state. amanda: the generation freeway study, looks at creating so-called cordon pricing that would essentially charge an extra toll for drivers going into the most congested parts of those cities. it is important to note that if the proposal is approved, we would not see any changes for a decade. we know the mtc is meeting to discuss it in detail at 9:30. for now, i am reporting live from the bay bridge toll plaza. reggie: the california state legislature now has one week to allocate more transit funding,

or else transit systems across the bay area say they could become desperately broke. there pandemic money is running out and ridership has not fully rebounded. >> so that we do not have to cancel bus lines, bart weekend service, huge traffic jams. reggie: take bart. the agency could face deficits of $300 million per year unless the state steps in. the two-year budget approved this week already calls for slight fare increases over the next two years, starting in january. transit riders are pushing the governor to approve $5 billion in funding for transit agencies. these protesters gather for what they are calling a transit rumble on octavia and market streets in san francisco yesterday. one person pretended to be governor newsom. he beat a caltrain model with a bat. cars were backed up for quite a while. protesters argue that that is

what things are going to look like if the money is not approved. a state senator says potential funding really needs to be monitored. >> i am in support of a reinvestment and help in that space, but i don't want to see just money thrown at the agency if they are not willing to have the reforms and accountability that should go along with it. reggie: the budget deadline is next week. governor newsom has said there is not enough money to go around. kumasi: it is something many of us even taking public transit -- fair invaders. we wanted to see how much it was happening on muni in san francisco, and how much money the agency is losing because of it. leanna menendez went on board, and you can see what she found on bc seven news.com or the bay area at. reggie: sales forces tried to get people back to the office, and it involves $10 a day to a local charity for every employee who shows up in person. this only goes for two weeks,

indictment related to his handling of classified information a hoax. mr. trump: i am innocent and we will prove that very soundly and hopefully very quickly. linsday: a special counsel appointed by the justice department has been investigating whether trump violated the law or put national security at risk by holding onto documents marked classified and his florida residence in mar-a-lago. trump faces seven charges, including conspiracy, and at least one charge related to the espionage act. >> which is ludicrous under the facts of this case. linsday: trump's lawyer telling cnn he and his team had yet to see the actual indictment as of last night, and had only received a summons for trump to appear in a federal courtroom in miami. last year, the fbi seized more than 100 documents with classified markings from mar-a-lago, along with 43 empty folders with classified banners, after trump failed to comply with a subpoena to return the records. trump has claimed everything was declassified.

the charges mark the second time trump has been indicted since leaving august -- leaving office. he was also indicted in manhattan on state charges or hush-money payments related to adult film star stormy daniels. >> the new york case becomes secondary to this case. this one becomes much more significant. linsday: if convicted, trump faces years in prison in this latest case. this morning, many prominent republicans are standing by him. florida governor ron desantis and house speaker kevin mccarthy among those claiming federal law enforcement has been weaponized. former new jersey governor chris christie, along with many democrats, are saying no one is above the law. the white house has declined to comment. even if trump is convicted, there is nothing in the constitution that would stop him from running for president. a poll found over half of those surveyed said trump should face criminal charges, but about 20% said they would still be inclined to vote for him. reggie: stay up-to-date on

antioch police department's racist texting scandal. the officers are on paid leave. and esposito says it was a difficult choice to dismiss the charges. she explained her reasoning. but michaela's family is frustrated. >> depending how the officers were involved, where they actual material witnesses? if they are material witnesses and they are not available, how are we supposed to proceed to prove the case? >> what justice looks like to me is a fair trial. now the case is dismissed and they walk free, with no rehabilitation, with no punishment. says they are heartbroken at the justice system. stephen ford says his department can still do their job. the mayor is calling for the officers involved in the scandal to be fired. kumasi: thank you, gloria. new this morning, the men

convicted of stalking multiple women around san francisco has been sentenced to 5.5 years in county jail and prison. he was moved from the courtroom during the sentencing after marking and yelling at his victims as they testified. he was sentenced to jail for eight misdemeanors including battery, sexual battery, and assault, and then he will spend three years in jail for felony false imprisonment. reggie: in the future, your commute could get a lot more expensive. the metropolitan transportation commission is set to discuss an idea that could lead to tolls for everybody driving on many bay area freeways. amanda del castillo is alive at the bay bridge toll plaza. we know this is years away, but just the idea of it -- i'm sure a lot of drivers are unhappy. amanda: i have to say i am just the messenger, but here is the question. would widespread tolling on bay area roads keep you off the roads?

it is a question to consider, especially as the mtc is planning to discuss this in detail later this morning. the agency has been researching this thought and recently released a report about it. it is called the next generation freeway study and involved possible widespread tolling on all lanes of certain freeways, not just express lanes. the end goal is to ease traffic projection and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. price would vary by location and time of day. the report looks into creating what is called cordon pricing in san francisco, oakland, and san jose, which would charge an extra toll for drivers going into the most congested parts of those cities. his could also mean adding tolls to freeways where there is a viable public transit rotation option like bart or caltrain running parallel to the road. another strategy is adding tolls to all major roads that run next to these highways, to limit drivers trying to go around paying. at the heart of the study, the question is, could the basics of

supply and demand be applied to freeways? >> the impacts of what would all of these things do in some hypothetical, theoretical future -- what would the impact be on congestion? >> i think it is a bad idea. it is already expensive to live here and the tolls are not really needed. amanda: mt that conceptually this is not a popular idea. still, they say using pricing is shown to be perhaps the most effective way to reach greenhouse gas reduction targets that are mandated by the state. we know that mtc meeting is expected at 9:30 this morning. not expected to be implement it until approved. a decade later is what i should be saying. for now, reporting live, abc7news. kumasi: now to the athletics stadium saga, the team's ongoing search for a home. it seems they will have to wait until at least monday to find

process," adding the record contained evidence of alabama's history of repugnant racial discrimination. in a dissent, justice clarence thomas said roberts and the liberals are hijacking the districting process to pursue a goal that has no legitimate claim under our constitutional system, the proportional allocation of political power on the basis of race. >> a political its ratings for multiple house ratings, moving them toward the democrats. jobina: with republicans enjoying only a slim majority in the house right now, this ruling could be a key factor in determining who controls the house after the 2024 election. reggie: thank you. the supreme court is expected to make a decision on president biden's plan to forgive student loans by the end of the month. according to "the wall street journal," the biden
