stick by matches the virus of >> reporter: the owners of the gainesville store spoke to reporters about what they did as soon as they found out. >> we sanitized our cafe, we maintained safety protocols, recertified our employees on food safety handling and so it's disturbing that this can happen within our cafe. >> reporter: anyone who ate or drank anything from july 28th through august 18th may have been exposed to hepatitis. anyone who ate or drank there from august 12th through the 17th or 18th may still benefit from getting a hepatitis a vaccine. >> if they don't qualify for preventive vaccine because they are beyond the two weeks, they should probably allow the 50 days to go by so it doesn't impact their ability to diagnose somebody. >> reporter: this comes as statehouse officials investigate 35 cases linked to

sold at tropical smoothie stores in the commonwealth. >> this is a good brand and the items that we have gotten over the year, we do everything to ensure that the product is safe. >> reporter: the cafe owners were not able to tell us how many customers may have been linked to this sick employee. the store here remains open. chris, back to you. >> as darcy mentioned, it's a highly contagious and can make you feel as if you have the flu. symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting. most people get better within a couple months but may take longer for kids to recover or certain adults with weakened immune systems. >> and video here of a bizarre situation that unfolded on the beltway. you can see a man jumped out of a moving ambulance in montgomery county during the evening rush yesterday. mark segraves is live to tell us what went on inside of that ambulance just before the

dramatic exit. mark? >> reporter: wait until you see all of this video shot from the dash cam behind me. police tell us the private ambulance was traveling on the outbound lane, the outer loop of 495, just before the 270 spur, when someone, for no reason, this man decided to jump. this dash cam video from a passing car shows the 23-year-old man jumping out of the back of a moving ambulance during rush hour traffic on the beltway. the man rolls in front of several moving cars and jumps the jersey wall and takes off into the woods. >> i thought he was going to throw up and then he jumps. i thought, this guy hates hospitals. >> reporter: the man was being transported from one hospital to another when he unbuckled his

>> the driver saw it through his window, his mirror. he tried to come to a stop before the back door opened. >> reporter: they asked him to be seated but he refused. he then opened the door and jumped out. >> what surprises us is how casual the passenger in the ambulance got out and walked over to the wall while she's talking on her cell phone and i'm pointing to my -- he went over the wall. the ambulance stayed in the lane. >> reporter: police searched the area using dogs but didn't find him until later that day miles away in prince george's county near his home. no one was injured during this incident. luckily, the man was returned to the hospital because he broke no laws no one is facing any charges. angie, back to you. >> that's incredible. thank you, mark. he forced police to shut down their

officers caught up with the bank robber in the tunnel and shut down the entire roadway but somehow he still got away. the tunnel is back open tonight. now to the campaign trail where hillary clinton lashed out at donald trump in an exclusive interview with msnbc while trump did another interview trying to clarify his immigration plan. edward lawrence is sorting it all out on capitol hill. >> reporter: there's a lot to sort out. in all of this, the issues have been lost in the mudslining. >> reporter: hillary clinton said there were no favors to donors while she was secretary of state just because they gave money. >> my work as secretary of state was not influenced by outside forces. i made policy decision based on what i thought was right to keep americans right. >> reporter: she continues the offe

bigoted. >> it's deeply disturbing that he is taking hate groups that lived in the dark regions of the internet making them mainstream. >> reporter: trump said democrats resort to the racist argument when their policies fail. >> it's a tired, disgusting argument. >> reporter: a lot of people are just now getting educated and tuned into it and making some decisions. >> reporter: trump tried to clarify his immigration proposals on cnn saying it will be more than building a border wall. >> we're going to have all sorts of e-verify and everything you can think of in terms of immigration. people will not come into our country illegally. we're going to fix that. >> reporter: but he was unclear about what would happen to the 11 million undocumented

we will see if he details his plan in a speech next week in arizona. in the meantime, we can expect accusations from both sides in the next coming weeks. edward lawrence, nbc, back to you. >> do you think the clintons should shut down their foundation? that's our flash survey. so far half of you say no while the other half is split on exactly when it should happen. new details in the correction case against former virginia governor bob mcdonnell. both the justice department and his lawyers have asked for an appeals court to give them more time before they say what they think should happen next. originally, they were supposed to file by this coming monday. they've now asked for a three-week extension. the supreme court toppssed out s conviction earlier this year. meanwhile, terry mcauliffe is waurning lawmakers that they have tough decisio

the gap is driven by lower than expected income in sales tax collections. the state will help fill the gap with $125 million. mcauliffe wants to use another $378 million from the state's rainy day fund but lawmakers would have to approve that. other cuts will also have to be made. i want to take you outside for live pictures from chopper 4 that is flying over fedex field. >> we're more than an hour away from kickoff right here on nbc 4. carol maloney is live. the last year's division title inspired such optimism and it will be the first real

get what he's trying to do but and this cycle has blown up in ways that everybody realizes and boy this felt like this is august. and we're one step away from it. >> trump has decided to postpone his immigration speech and they are saying that he's softening his sideline views on this issue. what is involved if he goes that route. >> if you looked at our polling data, you'd

thing that trump voters loved more than anything is his hard-line stance on immigration. the risk is if you soften it in order to win over suburban republicans who don't like his stance on immigration and maybe have an opposite view, do you risk alienating the most energized supporters? we'll see. i get the political calculation they made but he's spent all week and it's a muddy mess. i have to say, last night when i saw -- he's gone back and forth on what he would do with the undocumented folks that are here, after seeing this cnn thick i said all right, i don't know where he stands anymore. it sounds like he's coming around when it comes to immigration. and they are tieing to the hillary clinton e-mail scandal,

driving down her already low numbers on trust? >> well, i don't know if it can get lower. but i think if donald trump is focusing on her, remember, three weeks ago republicans said spent two straight days without attacking a fellow republican. he's stayed focused on clinton. you know, if it collectively drives down turnout, at this point, i don't know what you can say the calculation in various ways. the more he attacks her, the more she attacks him, it drives down turnout and then it's a battle of the bases. her base is a little bigger than his but you never know how that works. so, look, it's the only, i think, attack he can take. he cannot win if it's a referendum on him. >> it's only friday. >> it's only

sunday. >> guess what, finally, no more marathons. got to love the olympics. no more marathons.
