theory about her death. that she took her own life to escape chronic pain. >> that was the geral understanding. that she had several ongoing medical conditions, being one of them and that, you know, she just didn't want to continue living that way. >> reporter: several neighbors tell news 4 they believe holloway planned her death and they wonder if it was an assideed suici they say in the weeks before she died, she gave away most of her rldly possessions, her art, clothing, and car. news 4 foundt this court docum revealing she even deeded her house over to two of her friends. this neighbor who had believed holloway took her own life now troubled to learn police consider this a homicide. >> if there's smothering involved plus the drugs, i don't know hat tothink. maybe it was assisted suicide. hopefully it wasn't, you know, foul play. yeah. i honestly just feel really shocked about hearing that. about whad we lea

battle over faith. chuck todd nbc news political director,he moderator of "meet press". let's start with barr using the term spying when talking about it is russia invtigation. an fallout from that? ,hat's the secret code? >> we look, i can't get inside his head and know what his motivation s but let's look at the reality. he is able to in two swoops now, one with the initial memo and the decision to say nope, n charges on obstruction, and then throwing that word in there. we've shell not seen mueller report. what i has truly done -- no matter what, the impact will be lessened almostmpletely, because throwing that buzz word which is sort of more of a pundit word. we've had three investigations. he himself has deputy attorney generals who can tell him owexactly this was done. many said he didn't have any basis to back it up, d so it

feel like it was throwing in a charged term. well, theac two out now. you can't shove it back ie >> just made it clear he's blocking and tackling for the president. >>t certainly looks that way. and the president had an attorney general before who felt ast if he was interfering in the election enough or in the probe enough and we can discuss the definition of interference. bill barr is d the president could have hoped for. is barr's motivation the rule of law or something 'telse? i c get in his head, but if you're the president, you're extraordinarily happ >> explain this next move. this thing that happened tay. th immigration thing with the president coming out saying he wants to bus migrants fromhe border into sanctuary cities in a ploy thatould hurt nancy pelosi. the department of homeland security said no, that is dead. the white house saying we considered that saying it's dead. the president coming out saying it's alive andwell. what is this about?

>> this feels like one of his empty threats lik stting down the border. >> like talking to his base? >> you can't 100% be sure, because the white house denied it this morning and then they ha to say well, it's not like it's unprecedented that the federal government would ask s cities or stao help out in a situation like this. i grew up in miami. duringhe various moments we had influx of cubans that were overflowing the system, other to es and states were asked help alleviate. that's much different than what the president is trying to do. think aedut what he's t to do. he shut down the government over this. he declaredio natl emergency. now he's threated to shuthe border. it's all stick, stick, stick. i don't know how he expects democrats to want to work with him oni anything. think he thinks if he just bludgeons democrats, they'll say okay, we see it your way now. i don't know. think republicansn the senate are sending him a message. when mitch mcconnell said it's time for an adult conversation,

it seemed like a bit of a shot. >> interesting. let's look at pete buttigieg. i don know if i'm saying it. >> i was just going to say, you're doingell with it. >> thank you, pete. he's third despite his interesting name, he's third in the poll. he's doing well in iowa, in new hampshire andow he kind of stood up to vice president pence about, you know, being a christian and he's gay and saying this is not god's way, if you will. >> he sort of p went afterce for hiding in -- whatuttigieg will say is pence uses his religion as a cover for what he believes is bigotry against gays. pence felt that it was an attk on h faith. it's a fascinating back and forth. i think politically for buttigieg one of the invisible tests that voters are giving to emocratic

candidates, are you tough enough to take out these guys.'m so curious to see does this show democraticoters that buttigieg isn't afraid? but it's certainly risky anytime you do this. elizabeth warren took on president and then appeared to get eaten alive by him over this dnahi business. i you see one of the reasons why she seems to be middling right now. that may be democrats like her and think oh, maybe youhian't handle i do think this is one of these tests. we haven't seen a democrat try to be this open about their faith in buttigieg really since jimmy carter. there is a lot of carter in buttigieg. there really is. carter got traction because his first name wasn't senator, because h wasn't a conventional politician. i do think the buttigieg movement is all about number one his first name is not senator. number two, ihink his youth sends the message he hasn't been yet.shed by the system i actually think that is an

interesting little thing that's helping him too. the question is can he susta it? that's something -- beto was the flavor of month in march. >> but even so -- >> i don't know if there's room r beto and buttigieg. too feel as if there's going be one generational youthful candidate and they both probably can't survive with the other in theace for too long. >> beto doesn't seem to have ton of traction that was going to be sustainable. >> we don't know that. it is early. >> who do you have comin on? >> kellyanne conway. we're going to try to figure out what is t president -- by sunday if there's another immigration threat. then the democratic candidate is the washington state governor whos running on climate change. >> that should be interesting. >> interestingly enough, washington state has among the most so-called sanctuary cities and counties of many states. the immigration story was big >> it will be interesting to get his take. all right. thank you. and don'torget chuck wil bring you the latest on the

immigration battle with the official full size version of "meet the ypress" sunda at 10:30. >>uper sized. >> you may have to. still to come, more delays for the silver linul toles airport. the latest problem that has project leaders talking about changing deadlines. we've got a nats game tonight. two parades in the district a tomorr another capitals playoff game. doug is going to be here to tell you if it's going to get rained out tonight and what' aheads son i want you to know something very important.

shut things down for about two then bring everybody back on. that would be a tough one. the rain does come back overnight. 3:00 a.m., maybe some rumbles of th thunder as the cold front moves through. nd of stalling around our area today and don the south tomorrow morning. what are we expeing sntomorrow? showers early tomorrow. looking good if you're heading down to the caps game. 76 on sunday. morning showers and then again late. monday, tuesday, kw bad. >> great. thanks, doug. we have a new dock at a popular boating launch along the po ttoc river. coming up at s 6:30, markraves shows us why this one might not last. a few dozen homes and pontially hundreds of property lines could be casualties of construction.ep new rorts about the possible impact ofhe expanding belt way in maryland. and days of public outcry lead to the recall of a popular infant sleeper. the risk for babies

exact opposite. some homeowners don't know what to believe. you may not want to live near the belt way, allhat noise all the time, but for montero, there is no place like home even with the noisy neighbor next door. >> resources around here are much better than. nywhere >> reporter: he's only lived here two yearsdy but he's alrea thinking of his next move. his home isng the 34 that the state would have to relocate in order to make room for the y'belt expansion. >> this is my home now. it wouldn't make any sense to rush us to go somewhere else. >> expansion as governor larry gan's remedy to condition jegz. marylaac one could reduce the time you and i spend in rush hour troosk traffic by an estimated 20%. imagine going from college park to bethesda in rush hour in less than 15 minutes. it almost sounds too good to be tr. some residents say it is. >> this is one of the most congeste highways in america
