"these actions range from efforts to remove the special counsel and to reverse the effect of the attorney general's recusal to the attempted use of it official power to limit the spoke scope of the investigation." the report later said, "the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so stay.

trump declined a sitdown interview with mueller but provided written answers to questions. the mueller team did not submit a subpoena the president for an end of you. the report also visors it was presidency." >> i request that special counsel mueller testified before the house committee as soon as possible. the request made clear he did not exonerate the president and the responsibility now falls to congress to hold the president accountable for his actions. >> even though the mueller investigation is over, it has spawned 14 spinoff investigations that could lead to other funds. attorney general barr says the version with fewer reductions will be made available to top ranking house and lawmakers from both parties. the senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell defended attorney general barr against claims by democrats that he was

5:04 pm
may 2. joining us is david levine with the uc hastings college of law. david, your thoughts on today and the biggest take away? >> there are so many, julie. number one is the amount of detail about what the russians tried to do to us and succeeded in many ways and i really hope that congress is going to spend a lot of time figuring out how well the administration is doing and making sure that does not happen again and seeing whether further legal tools are needed to be passed and whether further money needs to go into that. i think that is the big headline. the other details about what the president may have done or why mr. miller decided not to indict are very, very important but in the long run, stopping foreigners from influencing our elections in these ways is really, really key to the democracy. >> let's talk about the president for a second, taking all politics, all spin aside, what does the report say to you and what happ was that mr. mueller was laying out breadcrumbs for others to going.
5:05 pm
congress being on and also he is very explicit that the president could be indicted when he leaves office and so the part of what mr. mueller saw himself doing was preserving evidence, having people testify under oath while the memories were still fresh, as he said, collecting evidence so it would be available for further use, congress, number one but other prosecutors in these many investigation still going, maybe others, for example, from the state of new york but certainly if and when the president leaves office so i would say to say it is an indication is utterly false . >> can the democratic- controlled house use the evidence to move forward with articles of impeachment? >> the evidence in the report would be used if they wanted to so what you would do is you would follow the clues and information that is in the report. you wouldn't simply take the report and stamp it and say okay, now we are going to impeach the president but what you would do is bring in these
5:06 pm
people who have testified to the 10 events that they report, specifying where the president, over and over again, perhaps tried to obstruct justice. one major reason why mr. miller said he should not be prosecuted for that is that people like don again, the white house counsel and others, the director of the national security agency stopped the president, ignored him, said they would resign instead of carrying out the president's directives. >> there was a lot of dirt that came out on the president. cannot rise, no matter if it is negative information, can arise to the level even though a crime was not committing, cannot rise to the level of bringing charges and moving forward with impeachment? >> absolutely because the standard for impeachment technically assess high crimes and misdemeanors, but what it amounts to if if the house of representatives majority thinks there is enough to -- whether the president is fit to stay in
5:07 pm
office, then they would have to decide whether or not he could be convicted. whether or not that happens is to be decided but the information, a lot of information, a real roadmap and for members of congress wanted to go down that road . >> the bottom line here is, what are we looking at? are we looking at an investigation in congress continuing during the rest of the presidents term? >> potentially if you had committees that wanted to push for impeachment but don't forget the oversight. that issue, to me, is really important. what sort of legislation do we need to put in place? -- >> right, there should be oversight hearings bringing in the appropriate agencies like homeland security, security agencies and say, what are you doing . >> what are you doing to make sure this doesn't happen again and if the answer is, we
5:08 pm
haven't done anything because the president has not told us to, we need to know that as well. >> we will leave it there. david, thank you . >> thank you for having me. if you would like to read the a doctorate the most the redacted report, it is posted on our website at ktvu.com. a heartbreaking story out of milpitas. and grandmother arrested accused of killing her 3-year- old grandson. henry lee joins us live it milpitas police department with more on what happened. henry? >> julie, the grandmother was the caretaker for this little boy, now she is in jail charged with murder for allegedly strangling him. this is the mug shot of 70-year- old foos abdi hashi, now in jail for allegedly killing her 3-year-old grandson. >> this has been a tragic , tragic incident. it has nolan is not only shocked our timidity but our personnel. >> it happened on luz del sol loop. 3-year-old boy was purple .

5:40 pm
5:41 pm
more. >> reporter: a couple of things i have noticed at the pregame street valley. one, there seems to be a lot more biggest fans than there were for the first couple of home games and 2, the mood among sharks fans has transformed from unbridled optimism before games one and two to trepidation and really, desperation as the sharks have obviously painted themselves into quite a corner, down 3 on 1 in the series. it has been on the defensive end of the ice and a lot of that goes to goalie martin jones who has allowed an astounding 13 goals in the series. when you consider he has been pulled from 2 of the 4 games, he has allowed 13 goals in about 2 1/2 hockey games. that is unacceptable. those having given up in the opening minutes. it is incredible how often one has been put in the back of the net before fans are even in their seats eating hot dogs and
5:42 pm
nachos. everybody in the sharks dressing room understands playing from behind is not the key to success. >> we have chased the game from the first minute of the game, all three games. game when we did not and had some success so i think when you are chasing the game like that early, you can get exposed and i think the stats show it and we know that so it is lot easier playing from up front than it is from behind . >> everybody has to be on their toes when the puck drops. there are no excuses. you have to show up and give it your best. >> one number that really puts it into perspective, over the last 3 copy games, 180 minutes worth of action, the sharks have trailed for 175 1/2 minutes. that is nearly impossible. it is like running in quicksand trying to play from behind. they have to get off to a good start. frank, how are you feeling, down 3-1. do you still have an optimistic stricken you streak
5:43 pm
in you? >> i am. it is curious, martin jones has not played well during the playoffs. are you surprised they are not going with their backup? i don't want to get too much inside hockey but are you surprised they're not going into their backup? >> jones has been pulled as i mentioned 2 of the 4 games. he was clothing game 2 and most recently in game 4. had had he kept the knights of the board or given up 1 goal and those 3 periods, he probably would have started tonight but because he came in and gave up 3 more it is the question of the lesser of 2 evils. we are not going to stanley cup with a backup goalie, maybe martin jones will find reform that led him and his team to the stanley cup finals a few years back. it is somewhere deep inside him so i think that is the coaches
5:44 pm
thinking that they have a shot to go the distance if jones can flip the switch. that is the only thing i can come up with. >> we find out at 7:30 pm. scott outside the arena. go sharks. it would be a good night to have two tvs because the warriors tip off game 3 of their playoff series about 30 minutes after the sharks game starts. the warriors are coming off of a bad loss and gain 2 where they blew a 31 point lead in the second half. will also be the teams first playoff game without demarcus cousins. cousin tore his quad muscle during the last game and is likely out for the rest of the playoffs. >> today is the anniversary of the great quake in san francisco. coming up on the anniversary, changes for this fire station in san francisco to make the city more prepared for when the next earthquake hits the bay area. plus. >> it should not be normal to find syringes on local beaches. >> for some, it is becoming just that, normal. the nasty problems in santa cruz. >> we have temperatures to look at pick we have found to feel m
