voice. >> always looking for win-win situations that help the american people. democrats will still control the senate and the white house. so republicans will have to work across party lines to get legislation passed and signed into law. >> you have to be realistic, but it would be foolish to give up on finding a path on some bipartisan pieces of legislation. senator tim kaine points out the last congress passed bipartisan legislation on infrastructure, gun control and computer chips and he thinks there are more areas where both parties can come together. what about mental health? >> what about substance use disorders? an opioid addiction. >> what about long covid, though some priorities will be left behind? i don't think either party to be able to get anything is that are out on the edges. but there will be many, many things in the middle that we do together and the work to find that middle ground starts next week in washington. i'm hannah brandt. >> former president trump's tax returns have been made public. the house ways and means committee says there are thousands of documents covering 6 years of returns

from 2015 to 2020. the former president fought for years to keep these documents secret. so they do confirm former president trump paid very little in federal income taxes in the first and last year of his presidency. the documents also bringing up questions about trump's wealth and income and with a presidential run inside for 2020, for many people are wondering how this could affect trump's candidacy. kron four's political analyst michael yaki waited for us. >> the tech to turn themselves artis documents or people do with them between now and 2024. and whether that result in any criminal liability for the president could have an impact on, i guess, election and his chances for getting the nomination. republican party again. but again, remember. he's been through all this before. he's been through 2 impeachments. he's still got about 30 so percent of the republican party in its grasp. he still person to watch for in 2024. >> every president and

incumbent mike hutchinson, the candidate who first showed finishing in 3rd place in the ranked choice voting system. it's a real victor. i really want to stress this is a correction of an error. >> and so i think a really good sign that our system is working and it only impacted a very small number of votes. he says an organization called fair vote didn't audit, which is how this all came to light. >> according to the registrar's office, the algorithm miss some ballots which didn't have a first choice selected just a second or 3rd. so they weren't counted when they instead should have been counted by reverting to the second choice to act as a first choice. now that the real winners revealed the trouble is the original results from the election. we're already certified. so under the current process, hutchinson will have to contest them before a judge before resnick is sworn in on january. 9th. roe v reps say that they are working with their vendor to provide safeguards so that this does not happen in future elections and assure that this was the

only race and alameda county affected by the problem. >> and that was kron four's ella sogomonian reporting for us this morning. now to developing news from berkeley. the la times is reporting that berkeley city manager dee williams, riley knew about harassment allegations against the person appointed as interim police chief but did not tell anyone the original report claims that in 2017, the city of berkeley hired an outside law firm to investigate accusations that interim chief jennifer lewis sexually assaulted or other sexually harassed. excuse me. several women alleged victims included a berkeley police officer who accuse lewis of making inappropriate comments at a party. the report also claims lewis was disciplined for violating city policy. the city manager reportedly failed to disclose these allegations to the city council or the police accountability board before appointing lewis berkeley's mayor calls these allegations and concerns saying they cannot be ignored.
