the prince george's county liquor board. now it is important to note that this is a state-run agency. the folks on this board are appointed by the governor and working within this board. now, this is following what happened during the m gm grand's opening weekend. we had the chair of the liquor board who was arrested for dui and then later step down after the governor requested that he leave the board. that was james caldwell. and now, we're hearing that the fbi is inside of this office and it has been confirmed for us by an fbi spokesperson, serving a court ordered warrant. and from what we can tell, it's very possible that this is not related to the caldwell incident. but a separate incident dealing with two other commissioners. there have been some issues at the prince george's county liquor board over the past few years, even the transfer of power from the previous director to caldwell was

when the past democratic leader of the board pretty much refused to step down and the governor had to intercede and make sure caldwell was able to take his seat. now, again, he has stepped down from the liquor board and they are looking forry re -- a replacement for him. and the co-chair of the liquor board is leading this agency. a very important agency here in prince george's county. those are the folks who get out the licenses for any restaurants or any place that sales liquor. this is the work they do here. all of this has to come through this commission and approved by this commission. we're here live and we'll continue to stay here as we try to figure out exactly what the fbi is doing in here and confirm indeed this may be related to two commissioners who sit on the board. i'm tracee wilkins, thank you. we first got wind of that breaking news through tracee's twitter account. charges are expected to be filed against four people who are

people and president elect donald trump. >> [ bleep ] donald trump. >> on wednesday police stopped short of calling it a hate crime. >> that certainly will be part of whether or not a hate crime -- if we seek a hate crime, to determine whether or not this is sincere or just stupid ranting and raving. i think some of it is just stupidity. people just ranting about something that they think might make a headline. >> reporter: police say the suspects eventually let the victims go. the details of his nightmare sparking widespread shock and outrage. >> no matter what race or color you are, we are human. nobody needs to go through this. >> the teen was taken to the hospital, he's traumatized but physically okay. police say all four suspects are still in custody. right now, dylann roof and the jury who can sentence him to court are back in court. roof has said he is a white supremacist. he was convicted of murdering nine people in a

today 30s, about it. for the evening commute, could see a little dusting but i don't think there's going to be major problem. overnight and through tomorrow morning we could see problems, going to the caps game tonight, heading home after that could be a little on the roadways and maybe some slush in spots. hopefully the crews are doing their job. i know they are out there as justin said treating the roads right now. and again, a few snow showers just light stuff as we go through the afternoon. after 7:00 or 8:00 we'll see it sticking to the ground and more widespread snow showers that actually overcome the dry air. by daybreak it's out of here. we'll get sunshine by tomorrow afternoon. but temperatures still stuck in the 30s tomorrow. around an inch, maybe less, could be isolated spots that could get possibly 2 inches of

to defend the law. some arguing if republicans break it apart, they own the aftermath. >> are you prepared to own the political fallout potentially? >> i think the most important thing for the president elect and leaders here in congress is that we keep our word to the american people. the simple fact is the american people know who owns obama care. it's the first half of the title. it is obama -- >> nationally about 11% of americans do not have insurance. that's down from 16% from before the law was enacted. republicans argue premiums in some states are spiking, pledging they can and will come up with something better. and when they do, the move to it will be seamless. >> as we give relief to people through obamacare, we do it in a transition that doesn't pull a rug out from anybody. >> reporter: pence will help smooth the transition without providing specifics, his colleagues warning a new plan will take time. >> within six

be able to put pen to paper and have a replacement plan. certainly we're not doing that on day one. >> reporter: republicans can tear down the law on their own but building it back up could take 60 votes, meaning they would need democrats' help and for now that's looking unlikely with the bitter battle only beginning. >> that was hallie jackson reporting there. repealing the affordable care act could cost $350 billion. according to the bipartisan committee for responsible budget. six months old, that's the age allergy experts are saying kids can be tested for peanut allergies. meant to provide parents with a road map to prevent dangerous reactions. previous recommendations were to keep peanuts away from kids completely until they turned 3. if your child is at high risk, see a specialist for a test. if you test them at home with powder or paste

looks a little overdone on the radar, it's headed into dry atmosphere. a lot of this is evaporating before it hits the ground. there are a few light flurries and snow showers that are actually hitting the surface. with that being said, there could be a few as we continue into the afternoon. we've been talking about that all morning. and so i do believe maybe a dusting in some spots later on for the evening but i don't think the evening commute will be that bad. now, after about 7:00 or 8:00, if you're headed to the caps game and heading home, that's when we can have a little more on the roadway. even our future cast showing that snow throughout the afternoon and then through the evening don't be -- if you're headed home, don't be surprised to see a few snow showers after 7:00 or 8:00, that's when it will really stick to the road. that will continue through the overnight. it's going to be dicey overnight but 6:00 a.m., it is out of here and leave us with a coating to an inch. friday afternoon looking good. coating to an inch in most

spots. there could be a few isolate d spots out there, even towards hague hagerstown. it's not going to be a lot, it's jucht the timing. take it slow tomorrow morning. we have more snow possibly for the weekend for some areas. we've been watching this area of low pressure pretty much all week and it is headed out to sea. it's going to stay south but there could be snow showers saturday. fredericks burg through southern maryland and off to the eastern shore, there could be minor accumulations in saint mary's county and eastern shore. that's about it. weather at a lert this afternoon, temperatures in the 30s and we'll be with you this afternoon. chuck and sheena are with you tomorrow morning. it is going to be cold for the weekend. windchills in the teens on sunday. we have that going for us. >> perfect for the nbc 4 health and fitness expo, everybody shaking hands with gloves on. >> the benefits of yoga and how you can try it for free. >> the gym that w
