we have some construction, nearby, that has also since been cleared. so we move on that's that. 422, headlight eastbound direction, if you jump onto 422, looking good. i mean, this is basically kind after snapshot of all of our camera shot so far. what we have been looking at. they all look really nice. friday's tends to be one of the less traveled days. see what happens as we push into the 6:00 hour. so, stotesbury regatta, closed until 7:00 p.m. saturday. alternates, schuylkill, mlk drive, ridge avenue. jan, back over to you. >> meisha, thank youment camden charities are again fitting from an unusual fundraising fashion show. the salvation army crock center hosed its second annual garbage show gala bag, professional and amateur designers alike showed off creations using recycled, unconventional materials. proceeds supports women's ministries in the camden area, very cool. one of the worlds' most dangerous exotic species has invaded peru.

he's overseas. >> that said, what kind of reception do you think the president will receive? >> well, so, overseas, i would expect usual would definitely be some protest to greet him, again, he's not very popular over there. but his is interesting. because here, we will be watching very closely, as well, given all of the political turmoil he's face being back at home, opportunity for him i think to flip the script on what has been happening here, try to turn the page a little bit, and redirect the focus away from the controversy surrounding him at home. >> steve, as he does, that the president has been hinting co-choose new fb i am director as early as today. we know that there has been a lot of speculation about who could be the frontrunner. what are you hearing? >> yes, we are looking at former senator, joe lieberman, who you may remember al gore's runningmate, in the 2,000 presidential election, former democrat, then became independent, and eventually endorsed john mccain. some people are saying this is a great choice, because he is more of moderate, bipartisan

person, but some democrats don't really like the choice of lieberman, mainly because they don't think a political person should be running the fbi. should be someone steeped in law enforcement, someone independent. could be some controversy if lieberman is pick. >> interesting. and you already mentioned the controversy trump is facing. the choice of former fbi director robert mueller to lead the independent russia probe has received bipartisan approval. the president, though, insists the investigation hurt our country terribly. how does mueller impact this investigation now? >> reporter: well, it is going to bring a lot of focus to the investigation, also i think bring a lot of it behind closed doors, i think over the next several months we will be hearing less and less about this investigation. there aren't going to be a lot of people parading in from the congress any more. this is really going to be mueller sort of plugging the leak, getting to the bottom of this investigation, and seeing where it leads. and, you know, frankly, the president said that he thinks this is a witch hunt. but as you mention, bipartisan support for mueller and the

special council, it will be interesting to see where this all leads. i think month or maybe years away from a conclusion on this, but i think what we will see is more focus on this investigation. >> all right, steve, cbs news political director, we appreciate you being with us this morning, we know it has been busy week. pre appreciate you braining it down for us. >> stay tuned. >> thanks. >> and there will be much more discussion about this eventful week in washington coming up at 7:00 on cbs this morning, that's of course immediately follows "eyewitness news" this morning. >> and coming up in our next hour right here on cbs-3 "eyewitness news" how glass of water helps prevent obesity. >> plus the whole milk craze, why more people are choosing whole milk instead of skim. and it is bike to work day, so you know what? pat gallen trade in the his car for a bike. we check in with him coming up.
