not yet been issued. former white house counsel don mcgahn will not talk to congress. mcgahn was the prime witness in the mueller investigation. he's already shared details from inside the oval office. after the mcgahn decision, nbc has learned a late night meeting among democrats with nancy pelosi pushing for impeachment. the idea being less about pushing the president out, more about strengthening the ability to show up and testify. the democrats in favor of impeachment are really making this subtle point here. remember impeachment by the house doesn't throw you it out of office. the democrats are saying let's impeach to investigate. we don't have to send the case to the senate. speaker pelosi so far has resisted those calls to begin

the process saying it plays into trump's hands. trump does not have to turn over his accountant's financial records demanded by the house as part of the investigation. separately, they have demanded trump's bank account records. that is still held up in court. he said the television channel is covering democrats too much after a townhall with candidate pete beauty tkpweupblg. he said fox should not give so much coverage to the democrats. >> what's going on with fox, by the way? what's going on there? they are putting more democrats on than you have republicans. something strange is going on at fox. something very strange. >> rare to hear fox booed at a presidential rally. you can follow me@scottmcgrew

heavier rainfall. and that may be nothing for you or a lot. spotty showers late on thursday. other than that, the day looks dry. reaching the mid-70s. warming up by the end of the week. and rain nearby the region for the weekend. mike, you're looking at a crash. >> we have two crashes, in fact, kari. one here in front of our live camera. look at this. westbound 80 at the iconic university overcrossing blocking the majority of lanes. traffic getting by on one lane. we saw it just before the commercial. we saw the fire trucks arrive on scene. major damage to one of the cars. we don't know about the people involved. we are always concerned about our friends out on the roadway. this is causing a big jam. frontage road, they can get by at university. a big jam between highway 4 and
