meanwhile in san jose, we're looking at 101. there's a good volume are of traffic showing slowing. there's the camera. that's the only slowing to show you throughout the south bay. northbound push through san jose, that's your pattern. that will start to slow first. over here the tri-valley moves at speed. we're looking towards 880 south. chp has updated that crash. no major injuries. that's great news. mild slowdown there into hayward as well as down into union city for south on the nimitz. all eyes on washington this morning. top senate leaders in the judiciary are looking at the fbi report on supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. a source tells nbc news correspondent peter alexander the fbi contacted ten people and interviewed nine of them. it's not clear why the tenth person was not interviewed. the source says the white house concluded the interviews do not corroborate sexual misconduct

allegations against brett kavanaugh. nbc's tracie potts has more from capitol hill. >> reporter: the fbi's background check into sexual misconduct allegations against brett kavanaugh is done. senators will review it this morning. >> there will be plenty of time for members to view and be briefed on the supplemental material before a friday cloture vote. >> reporter: that vote begins the process of deciding whether kavanaugh will sit on the u.s.s supreme court. republicans hope to take a final vote this weekend. the white house has already seen the report early this morning. a spokesman said they're fully confident kavanaugh will be confirmed. the fbi is expected to summarize its interviews with accuser deborah ramirez and classmates. agents did not speak with judge brett kavanaugh or his first accuser, dr. christine blasey ford. >> how did he get home? i don't remember. >> reporter: president trump under fire from democrats and republicans for how he recounted

her testimony. >> just not right. >> i thought his comments were disgraceful. >> reprehensible. >> appalling is the right word. >> just plain wrong. >> reporter: the white house is defending the president. >> the president was stating the facts. >> reporter: new facts this morning as lawmakers prepare to vote. in a new statement overnight, dr. ford's lawyers say they're profoundly disappointed that she wasn't interviewed. neither was kavanaugh, by the way. they also say they think those who directed this inquiry weren't really looking for the truth. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. the fbi did not mention christine blasey ford as part of this additional background check but supporters keep repeating what they've been saying all along, we believe her. and they'll do it again in san francisco. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in palo alto where there has been support throughout the bay area. >> reporter: this has been a hotbed of support for christine blasey ford.

this is where she lives with her family. though we don't know if she's been back home since she went into hiding. you mentioned that there's going to be a protest and a show of support in san francisco. these are sexual assault survivors who say they're going to duct tape their mouths shut in support. that's a stark contrast to this rally last night where supporters of christine blasey ford gathered in morgan hill to show support for her and also show their frustration at some of the senators don't believe her nor the other women who have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against brett kavanaugh. i should mention as our cameras were there, there were drivers who shouted messages of support as they passed by, but this time for brett kavanaugh. >> it feels good not to feel alone. just have a place to be angry together. >> i don't find it acceptable from our judiciary committee and i definitely don't find it acceptable from mr. kavanaugh.

>> reporter: so by the time these supporters gather in san francisco, we might start to get an idea of how that fbi investigation briefing is going in washington, d.c. by the way, these protesters are going to gather outside headquarters for charles schwab, who you might know is from atherton and one of the top donors to the republican party. in san jose -- in palo alto, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." as we mentioned, we're keeping an eye on washington this morning. our coverage continues with scott mcgrew and his "checks & balances" segment coming up at 6:45. 6:05 right now. new this morning a former cal professor who resigned after sexual harassment allegations is now reportedly suing the school. prominent professor nazir al sayed resigned last month. according to "the chronicle" a

it is our understanding the fbi did not talk to ford, nor to brett kavanaugh. though they testified for hours under oath, so apparently that was sufficient for investigators. moments ago on fox news, democrat chris kuhns, who sits on the judiciary committee says there were no bombshells in this report. senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, who promised to plow through kavanaugh's nomination even before the investigation started has scheduled a procedural vote for friday. >> there will be plenty of time for members to view and be briefed on the supplemental material before a friday cloture vote. so, i'm filing cloture on judge kavanaugh's nomination this evening. >> so, very happy, the white house very happy with the report. a spokesperson says the president is, quote, confident the senate will confirm judge kavanaugh to the supreme court. president trump just tweeted, kavanaugh's great life cannot be

ruined by mean and despicable democrats and totally uncorroborated allegations. now, senators will read this report in a special room in the capitol this morning. an actual vote could come saturday. the "today" show will have full coverage of the very latest coming up at 7:00. of course, i'll continue to update you all morning on twitter and we'll have more on our midday news. >> looking forward to that, scott. authorities in millbrae this morning revealing few details about a man who died yesterday after a violent confrontation with deputies. investigators still have a lot to stort out here. this started when someone called 911 about a man walking in traffic about the busy el camino real. the san mateo county sheriff's office says that man assaulted first arriving deputy there as that deputy tried to remove him from traffic. at some point the deputy tased him. other responding deputies also deployed their tasers. this still unidentified man died at the hospital. one deputy was injured and also

taken to the hospital. 6:48. imagine hiring someone to clean up your home and then coming home only to find the people you paid to clean it up trashed it. >> for one new york city woman, that was not the only thing that was pretty trashed. so were the cleaners themselves. they both wound up passed out on the couch. at least that's where she says they both were when a friend came by to pick up the keys. when the homeowner returned after work, she found a cleaner just passed out on the floor. that's when she called police. >> they spent 45 minutes getting her together enough to put her in an ambulance. she was too drunk to put her flip-flops on. >> so, all of this happened back in august. the homeowner says she paid the service $250 plus a tip, that didn't include the alcohol she unknowingly provided free of charge. >> they must have had drinking

on their minds. their shirts had something to do with drinking. >> if your cleaning company does advertise they like to drink, maybe you shouldn't use that service. >> i don't know many cleaning companies that do that. it's the new merry maids, very merry. >> let's look at your forecast as you may be cleaning your own house today instead of hiring someone. here's a look at stormranger, our mobile doppler radar showing as of now, all these clouds we have overhead are not bringing any rain. some of us had downpours late yesterday evening. either you got a whole bunch of rain, up to a quarter of an inch, or nothing at all. most of us are still looking to the sky, wondering if we'll see more showers moving through. look at the clouds moving over palo alto right now as the sun rises. our temperatures will be in the low 60s.
