identify marijuana also turned positive when testing cbd. the test can't tell the difference. in this laeetter the director o forensic science warned about that and the limitations o testing. virginia's law changed the definition of marijuana back in march to allow for industrial hemp and products like cbd. those products are now allowed to have trace amounts of thc no greater than .3%. that's a component that can get urs high. the state forensic lab can oy measure that percentage in oil. they're still working on getting equipment up and running to measure the amount of thc, plant material and otherroducts. once the labs develop that capability, it will be used to test evidence from cases where the plant material is, quote, packaged and labeled as a hemp product or if the defendant claims the product is in compliance with the law. now virginia's lab director told me she expects to have the new test up and running later this summer. in themeantime, she's working re verify a field test that can

tell the diffence between marijuana and cbd. the companies that make these police field tests did not respond to our questions about ,heir limitations. jodie fleischerews 4 i-team. >> the i-team's original report on this cannabis confusion, visit the nbc washington app and search investigations. folks spent much of the day cleaning up the damage from the tornado th t ripped through area yesterday. once the weather cleared, chopper 4 was able to get up an. you saw huge ou trees slashing through a home in howard county. similar scenes in nearby neighborhoods, but fortunately f there were no reports oy serious injuries. trees fell in the national mall. crews out there working to get all that stuffne clea up because we've got this big memorial day weekend coming up. >> thaert's right. and today the weather is cooperating. for our first backyard weather

of the season. it is memorial day weekend and that means that we have sent doug kammerer on out to ocean city live this afternoon. >> we didn't have to send him. he will have gone anyway. we didn't have a choice here. got perfect ve weather. >> i thought i would either call in sick and be down here or work and be do re. let's work for it. that's the best part about it. down here in ocean city, yes, ee memorial day wnd kicking off backyard weather. we'll be doing it all summer long. i made some newom friends fr rockville. you can wave right now. did you get through to your people? >> no, we didn't get through. t buty'll watch anyway because we always watch nbc. >> that's exactly what i want to isar. the weather fantastic. take a look at these numbers. current temperature sitting in the upper 70s to low 80s. 78 degrees right now. actually back up to 80. 80 degrees right now in ocean city. 83 right now in wabeington. a tiful afternoon. what looks like one of the best

memorial day weekends whave had in some time. as you guys know, it could be really cool memorial day weekend or really hot. this time it's on the hot side which means great news for the beaches and the pools. >> all right. sounds good. have fun. we'll get bac to you in a little bit. a 32 year memorial day tradition is ending askn we it. still to come at 6:00, rolling thunder is back in washington this weekend. news 4's chris gordon got to ridewith some of them today and find out why future tributes to p.o.w.s will be smaller and more spread out. and we are still following that breaking news on the 14th street bridge. update now from d.c. fire. they now say theho firefighter w was injured here has serious injuries but they are not life threatening. there's some gd news there.

if it's friday at 6:15. >> that means 's time for a deeper look at some of the week's deepest political stories. preside trump versus nancy pelosi. >> watching william barr gt sweepower to investigate the investigators in the russia probe. >> five weeks afte the special ounsel has his report, we learned why congress hasn't im heard from h yet. he doesn't want to testify in public it turns out. a on 2020, joe biden, bernie sanders and elizabeth warren are all on the move. who better to explain it all, chuck todd, moderator of kwt meet t

"meet the press". >> love the optimism. >> it's time to be alive. some democrats appear to be increasingly at odds over impeachment, but the president himself cannot get over the russia probe. he mentions it all the time. what is the speaker's strategy? >> well, i thi her strategy, you saw what she was -- i think ooat she was trying to do and the president t it in another direction, she's trying to keep this what is a minority in her caucus, she's trying to keep them on the team, if you will, not going out there asmuch. so she's ramping up her own rhetoric by saying not yet, not' yet, h doing these things. she's trying to -- while she edges closer retorcally, part of it seems to be about keeping everybody on the same page as the democrats. here's what the president is trying to do. she's trying to creat a middle ground. the president says you don't get to have middle ground. you're either going to do it, let's go, or don't do did and you know what he'll do.

that is, of course, i think the dilemma that some of the house democrats, i was talking to them off the record, ones that are leaning impeachment and ones that aren't. what's interesting is how both points of view end up in the same place. well, if we don't do political reasons, that's not a good reason either. that looks like we're playing politics about the presidential race. if we do do it, then all of a sudden we make donald trump politics and he gets a second turn. they really are struggling with what is a constitutional duty on one hand, a politic duty on the other, and it's not an easy decision. the president sees an opportunity to create a wedge in the party and i think in this sense, hbecause doesn't care in that sense, because it's fun. >> let's talk about the other decision he made. this decision to give attorney general bill barr the sweeping powers to declassify whatever ind of information he wants to in regard to the russia probe. criticism is really blown barr's

way because of the way he handled the mueller report and a lot of folks saw that as being purely partisan revelation that he made when he put out his 4-page letter on that thing. what do you make of what this is? oat's the best and worst that can come outf this decision? >> i think that barr, whether it's fa or not, i think democrats view barr now as pa partisan because of what he put out and what the mueller report says. whatever he comes up with is going to be viewed as political. i think this is what i would call a smoke bomb.it s to create distraction. i think the presidentme knows so of these democratic investigations are going to produce some damaging stuff. how damaging, we don't know. t it's going produce stuff he doesn't like. i think he wants to think of it as a smoke bomb insurance policy. i got my investigation, youri nvestigation. what is the end result for the averageio and washington. the fog of investigation. i don't know what to make of it. and so the worst -- the best --

the worst of the best case of the president is that it just is viewed as oh, they're all back and foh. best case scenario is his conspiracy theory is found to be is nd somehow the dossier the be all and end all, buve we' been down this road so manys times, it' not there. there's never been anything there. it doesn't matter what they fine, leon. i got more questions. if you just say that, that type of expression over and over again, that's al it's the echo chamb. i think it's a pitical tactic. it's pretty clever, but it's using the tools of the federal vernment in a way that should have more people -- >> concerned. in >> we're go to ask you about the 2020 we were struck about your observation on some of the most recent polls. we'll put up this graphic so you can see it at home. joe biden comfortably in the head and went up.

two out of the te polls. bernie sanders, on the other hand, dropped in all three and it appeared that many of his pporters are now going to the warren camp. >> we've got three national polls in the st week. what was amazing is what they shared in common.de one was bi commanding lead and the other was sanders sinking. sanders has got a problem, because he's getting eaten away in both ends of the support. people paying least amount of attention sanders does really well. among those paying attention, warren actually beats sanders. this could be a tnary in coal mine. it looked like sanders had an inflated number. biden's entry took a bunch of those folks from him, and now elizabeth warren, i've got a plan for that. i've got a plan for that. she's sort of the tortoise and the hare. she's been going right at sanders supporters. what i don't see is an obvious person that can somehow capturea this and ke biden on yet.

but you certainly see right now it could be elizabeth warren and not bernie sanders as the chief liberal adversary of joe biden. i think sanders is sowing some vul vulnerability. you poke him and he gets angry. you can hear he was ready. i think it's getting under his z ldin. >> two 70-year-o white men being then two biggest me in the race. >> e could and elizabth warren, again, she is methodical about this, but of all the people that have -- her and biden seem to be mo comfortable with the campaigns they want to everybody else seems to be angling for a thing and i think voters see through that. >> who do you ve coming up? >> we're going to have this debate about impeachment. a the congresswoman from

michigan who hasal bas said right now -- >> she is on that bus. >> and we'll talk to sarah sanders. >> chuck, thank you so much.n uch more o the impeachment debate on "meet the press" suday morning at 10:30 right here on nbc 4. coming up just ahead here at 6:30 half hour, they were pioneers during world war ii. the first all female, all african-american battalion. news 4 mark segraves talks to one t ofhe women of the six triple eight. and doug cammery's got backyard weather live in oan city. oh my goodness, he's found his way into eight fun house, hasn't he? >> he lives in a fun house. what are you talking about? edyou've never look better,
