mcdonnell's defense attorney and with the lawyer who successfully argued this case before the high court. julie? >> reporter: well, bob mcdonnell's lawyers telling me this court ruling is a vindication for him personally. it also sends a clear message that federal prosecutors too broad of a definition of acts when they tried to win a bribery conviction. one of former governor bob mcdonnell's lawyer explained what this means to them and their client. bob mcdonnell said, "it is a day that my family rejoices and gives thanks." >> and it shows that what we said from the beginning is correct, that governor mcdonnell never crossed that line into committing a crime. >> reporter: mcdonnell was a rising gop star until he and his wife were charged a he

convicted in 2014 of multiple corruption charges. they were accused of accepting more than $165,000 in trips and money in return for promoting a new product. the court worries that the standard used could have turned routine favors done by politicians, like setting up meetings and writing letters, into criminal acts. >> i don't believe anyone who knows bob mcdonnell well thinks that he's corrupt. i've never known a single person who knows him that feels that way. >> reporter: but mcdonnell is not completely clear of the case that has loomed over him for years. prosecutors will need to decide whether to retry the case. >> the united states attorney should decline to move forward, dismiss the case and let bob mcdonnell, his family, our state move on. >> reporter: the u.s.

office said they are reviewing the court's ruling. coming up at 6:00, you'll hear from a northern virginia democrat who was the first to call for bob mcdonnell's resignation when this case first became public years ago. >> julie, what impact is this going to have on his wife and his wife's conviction? >> reporter: yeah, this is good news for maureen mcdonnell as well. all of the legal observers i've talked to as well including her attorney and his attorney fully expect her decision to be vacated as well but there are procedural steps that have to take place before that happens. >> julie carey, thanks. the supreme court also waited until the last day to deliver the most controversial decision today. the high court struck down a texas law that severely restricts abortion. doctors had to have admitting

in a 5-3 decision, the justices -- >> justice has been served. >> today, women lost. the supreme court put politics over the health and safety of women in our country. >> the number of abortion clinics dropped from 42 to 19. pete williams will join us to discuss the impact of the ruling here and across the country. here at the live desk, we have learned that the district's first congressman is behind bars in loudoun county. walter faultroy was arrested at dulles airport. friends of the former pastor said he had gone missing after traveling extensively in

>> this is a shock to me. >> reporter: it didn't take long for the teachers to hear what happened to at least two students. >> this is unbelievable and unacceptable. >> reporter: court documents say john zigna started abusing an 11-year-old girl in august 2014. on several occasions, he would put the girl on his lab. when she tried to get up, vigna pulled the girl's hips back into his lap. in february of this year, vigna started abusing a young girl, hugging her and touching her buttocks while other students were not watching. vigna was also a baseball coach. according to a spokesperson, he's no longer coaching and was placed on administrative leave in february once police notified the school district of the investigation. school officials sent a letter home to parents of both

telling them about the allegation. it says in part, "the behavior alleged in the charging document is both disturbing and disappointing. this behavior does not reflect the principles and values of cloverly elementary school, mcps or our community and it will not be tolerated or ignored. >> reporter: police are asking for parents of the victims to contact their department right away. at 6:00, we spoke with a neighbor who has known vigna for years and she shares a shocking conversation she had with him yesterday morning hours before he turned himself in. jim? >> meagan, thanks so much. look at it back there in shenandoah. doug, how is it looking? >> shower activity for the next couple of hours. we'll see if the storms make it over the mountains and into parts of northern virginia. right now, it's just shower ac

>> wendy, the numbers don't look good. you can call it a rally. some called it an audition. some say elizabeth warren is on clinton's short list for a spot. warren has proven to be a strong ally. elizabeth warren touted her experience. she and clinton wasted no time in tag-teaming donald trump. >> donald trump says he'll make america great again. it's right there. no. it's right in the front of his goofy head. you want to see goofy? look at him in that hat. what kind of a man a nasty man who will never become president of the united states. b

states. that's right. >> the word "goofy" wa going back to trump's attack line. he fired off a tweet accusing clinton of wheeling out, in his words, one of the least productive senators, calling warren again goofy and accusing her of lying about her heritage. this comes as the presumptive nominee a facing an uphill challenge. he has four months to change voters' minds but a new poll finds more than half of republicans say they would have preferred someone else as their candidate. 45% say they are satisfied with trump. by comparison, it's flipped with the democrats with over half saying they are okay with clinton. wendy, jim, back to you. >> chris lawrence, thanks. metro's general manager says he's going to eliminate hundreds of jobs while he's trying to make the system sa a

else, to send a message that we are very serious about getting our house in order. >> the announcement comes as the system is in the middle of the most ambitious and disruptive changes. it closed stations on the silver and blue lines while repairs, upgrades and safety enhancements are performed, leaving others required to make other plans altogether. >> that might hamper things going forward with the maintenance, too. >> it's a lot of people. i don't know if that's a good thing. >> unless they already have a redundancy in the department, maybe they should have done this a long time ago. >> reporter: other human resource requirements have to be worked out and it could take months but he wanted a notification to go out as soon as possible. now, a short time ago we got a statement from the transit union, the union that covers

a pretty good monday out there for most of us. we saw sunshine and temperatures into the 80s. a little on the humid side. as a matter of fact, haze in the atmosphere. we've seen the clouds develop now. we have a little bit of a system trying to make its way on through here. heat index up to 91. we have a little bit of humidity. t,

that's what we are seeing across our region today. 82 in gaithersburg and rain moving into the warrenton area. if you're heading to the nats game, i think we're going to be okay, no problem. however, there could be a shower or two. delay is possible. right now, though, i'm thinking we're going to be dry. 82 at 8:00 and 72, nice, as the game is winding down. here are the showers around town. not much is happening. most are fairly light. it's back to the west that we look at the very heavy rainfall. again, gaithersburg, loudoun county, down towards manassas, light shower activity. frederick county, virginia, shenandoah county, this is not moving east much but if it does, that's when we could start to

virginia. it's down in this area now, flash flood warnings ongoing where they have already seen so much flooding over the past couple of weeks. notice the flash flood watch in the dark green here. that includes shenandoah county. more now to the south and this is the area that's been so hard hit in west virginia. they are once again under flash flood warnings so we hope that they are okay and they are going to make it through tonight's storms. there they are right there. it's a front. you can see that front clearly defined here. the northern portions spinning off towards the east but down to the south, this area is kind of stalling out. that's what will happen tomorrow and that will lead to another round of storms tomorrow. this evening, tracking a couple of storms and showers that move through. 10:00, most of them out of here. watch what happens tomorrow morning. not much. just cloud cover. tomorrow afternoon, a few storms fire up at 3:00, 4:00. one or two could be on the strong side. not expecting too much in the way of

abortion, while supporters argued it would protect a woman's health, it could impact laws in several other states. here's pete williams. >> reporter: this is easily the most important abortion ruling in 25 years. 25 years ago, the supreme court said the states can impose restrictions on access to abortion but only if it wouldn't constitute to what the court called an undue burden on the woman's right to choose. the court said the texas law flunks that test. and sets up restrictions without providing any medical benefit. that's an undue burden, the supreme court said. for example, it said, what's the point in requiring abortion clinics to meet the same architectural building supply staffing standards as surgical standards if most women can get an abortion by taking a couple of pills. if complications arise, those are going to happen when the

abortion clinic. a and it's going to end the strategy that anti-abortion groups were using. instead of going after the women, the women's restrictions, like, for example, waiting periods, counseling, that kind of thing, they decided to go after the clinics and the doctors. clearly, that's not going to work. they say they have other cases that they are trying and techniques but this was a big victory for abortion rights advocates today. >> pete williams at the supreme court. more tonight on "nbc nightly news." with the fourth of july weekend a few weeks away, an important reminder from d.c. fire marshals. most fireworks like these are illegal in the district. you could be fined or even arrested if you get caught. today, fire officials displayed some of the illegal fireworks they
