( james ) a big story on the national front this morning... a explosive new report claims president trump, back in february, asked then fbi director james comey to shutdown an investigation into fired national security advisor michael flynn. the request allegedly came during a private oval office meeting between the two. and now democratic lawmakers -- and even some republican's, too -- are concerned this constitutes "obstruction of justice." kron 4's grant lodes has the latest. sources close to former fbi director james comey say comey wrote a memo following a one on one conversation with president trump... in which the president asked him to end the investigation into national security adviser michael flynn -- the president reportedly telling the former director-- quote, "i hope you can let this go."sources saying comey was so appalled by the request... he wanted to document it. the white house adamently denying the report in a statement reading: "while the president has repeatedly expressed his view that general flynn is a decent man who served and protected our country, the president has never asked mr. comey or anyone else to end any

investigation, including any investigation involving general flynn." one legal analyst calling the request potentially criminal.jeffrey toobin/cnn legal analyst: "if he's telling the truth i don't think anyone can see this as anything but an obstruction of justice."and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle asking for answersrep. kevin cramer/-r- north dakota: "the larger concern is what seems to be a lack of communication discipline coming out of the white house"rep. adam schiff/- d- ranking member, intelligence committee: "i would love for him to come before the intelligence committee and either way he needs to come back before congress and i think share with the public what conversations he had with the president that met there and whether there was any effort to obstruct the investigation or impede it in any way. "the former f-b-i director declined an invitation to testify in front of the senate intelligence committee behind closed doors. sources say he wants to testify publicly and now, the expectation is... that those memos will be subpeonaed. ( james ) the comey memo story comes just one day after news broke of president trump,

possibly, sharing highly classified intelligence with russian officials visiting the white house last week. we now know the source of that intelligence was israel. they're the ones who discovered isis was developing a way to use laptops in terror attacks. national security experts warned that russia would likely funnel that information to israel's sworn enemy, iran. the president tweeted about the issue. defending what he called his "absolute right " to reveal facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety.

hurt themselves and hurt someone below them." mulligan says he knows the men got onto the bridge by hiking down a hill in the marin headlands, then jumping onto the sidewalk. and, it appears they climbed all the way to the top of the north tower.denis mulligan/general manager- 'they climbed the vertical suspender ropes without any harnesses, any fall protection." the california highway patrol is leading the investigation into the matter... the department of homeland security is involved as well. mulligan says they know who the men are, and will pursue trespassing charges against them. in san francisco, philippe djegal, kron four news.

they do 60-vegetation inspections per day. on monday, they found four that were non-compliant. < "so the dead dying fuel would be a failure. see the grass growing really close to the roadway. that lot right now needs some work. the grass is tall, supposed to be 10-feet from the road, trees are down and dying. it's non- compliant">( james ) once property owners have been notified they have 30-days to remove the problem back in 1991 this area was the scene of one of the worst fire disasters in u.s. history. officials say that is why these vegetation inspections are so important.

panel that spoke to several state judges tuesdayabout the need for changes to pre-trial detention policies."there's no real pre-trial detention reform for those offenders, as they're just out there waiting months on end to even be charged."that's the case with yarenit malihan, the driver in september's deadl y crash on i-680.she still hasn't been formally charged in that case, nor in the previous d-u-i she had in june of 2016.then just last week, she got arrested again for public intoxication. "then, to get arrested again, and she has not been formally charged, it's been a real slap in the face - not only for us and the work that we do, but for the family as well. just another low blow."thomas, who has been working with the dunn family closely since the accident, had already planned on talking about them on monday's panel.then she had to add to her notes when she heard about malihan getting arrested again.malihan's license was revoked in december - but not before that - because of d-m-v protocol for ádrugged driving that differs from ádrunk driving. "impairment is impairment. and so while you can kindasome

people try to distinguish the two; we think they all fall within the same category." meanwhile, malihan is no longer in custody for friday's arrest.police found her lying in the street, took her to a hospital, and then got a call from the emergency room saying she had left by herself. officers found her wandering the streets, apparently drunk. the strange circumstances are even more examples madd will use to call for change."not only how to we process duis, but how do we help people who are chemically dependent to alcohol or drugs?"in san francisco, spencer blake, kron four news.

department, five different homes were burglarized on monday between 7 in the morning and 4pm. the thieves apparently struck homes along stanley avenue, montezuma drive, manzanita drive and two homes on view way. in all cases the suspect targeted empty homes and gained entry by breaking in through rear windows or doors. they also appeared to be looking for jewelry, laptops, tablets and personal electronics. investigators believe that all of the burglaries were committed by the same people. sotbased on the time of occurrence and the method that was used by the burglars we do believe it was the same group of people.in the case of the stanley avenue burglary, neighbors saw two subjects running from the area carrying property. they were described as being african american males in their twenties with medium builds wearing black hooded sweatshirtssurveillance video from the area may have also captured the suspect's vehicle. police describe it as a gray or dark blue suv possibly a toyota rav-4 or nissan rouge.investigators say it's unusual to see some many break ins in such a short period of time and they are asking for residents to keep their eyes open.sotif you see

something, say something. be aware of suspicious activity in your neighborhood. if you see people or vehicles that you feel are suspicious, call us right away.again, if you have any information about these burglaries you are encouraged to contact the pacifica police department. in pacifica, charles clifford, kron 4 news.
