andrea constand told the jury she was, quote, humiliated, after cosby gave her pills and sexually assaulted her at home in 2004. the defense tried to highlight inconsistencies between her testimony, what she told police when she reported the alleged assault a year later. though dozens of women have accused the comedian of sexual misconduct, this is the only complaint that has resulted in criminal charges. cosby has repeatedly denied all allegations of sexual misconduct. hayward has reportedly become the bay area's latest jurisdiction to adopt sank we city policies to protect undocumented immigrants. the east bay times reporting late last night, council members voting unanimously to declare hayward a sanctuary city, meaning it will not assist federal agents or i.c.e. agents in enforcing immigration laws. state lawmakers are also considering making california a sanctuary state. long before the vote took place, the city of hayward ignited outrage with a tweet that was

meant to promote night's meeting. it uses a poorly crafted pun to generate interest. let's tacobout it. many called it inappropriate and culturally inoffensive because the meeting is focused on immigrants, many of whom are from mexico. city leaders did some relief here. >> we're glad that the mayor and the council repudiate those expressions of hatred against immigrants. >> the city's social media team did end up issuing a series of follow-up apology tweets as well. >> a woman pepper sprays during protests at uc berkeley against milo yiannopoulos is suing uc regents, the city of berkeley, and many others. she was a fan of milo. she planned to attend his february 1st speech at cal but it was kanlstleed.

that's an accusation serious enough it could put the president's office in jeopardy. all three major networks are planning to cut into regular programming tomorrow. something that has only happened a few times before, including the anita hill hearings and watergate. comey, of course, fired after the president decided the investigation by the fbi was in the president's words, made up. that's his explanation. sources tell nbc comey will not exitly accuse the president of obstruction, but his testimony may show evidence of that. we do expect comey will deny he ever told the president that he was not under investigation. president trump claims comey told him three separate times. >> i said if it's possible, will you let me know am i under investigation. he said you are not under investigation. >> earlier this morning, the president announced he would nominate christopher wray as the next head of the fbi. wray has worked as an assistant attorney general in the past.

watergate pales really in my view compared to what we're confronting now. >> again, you have four people testifying today. james comey's testimony comes tomorrow. nbc bay area will carry tomorrow's testimony live on air and at nbcbayarea.com. we examine the president's tweets, executive orders and speeches, and the testimony against him. everying on today in the bay. we would like to hear from you. you can share your thoughts with me on twitter. i'm @scottmcgrew. >> thank you very much, scott. >> thinks will clear up, at least for outside lands. we now know who will be playing when they host the three-day event in august. >> yeah, talking about the lineup. they're out. the gorillaz will play on the main stage on friday. metallica taking that on saturday. then the who is going to headline on sunday along with lorde. by the way, single day tickets on sale tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning. the face value for them is $150.
