good evening. there was no bombshell. there was no smoking gun. still the while, this was historic today. it's the first time we've heard jim comey under oath answering questions about his firing by president trump as the fbi director. throughout this testimony comey several conversations he had with president trump which were odd and awkward repeating the president's desire to have the fbi wrap up its investigation of russian interference in the 2016 election. now, we have broken this downton night into five key moments for you. we're going begin with jim comey's anger. anger over president trump's description of why he fired comey in the president's words because of disarray and bad morale at the fbi. comey today saying the president and his staffers repeated that talking points were in his words liars. >> those were lies plain and simple. and i am so sorry that

workforce had to hear them and i'm so sorry that the american people were told them. >> reporter: now from there the chairman of this committee intelligence committee, wanted to know if president trump ever directly asked jim comey to stop the fbi investigation. comey's answer was no. >> did the president at any time ask you to stop the fbi investigation into russian involvement in the 2016 u.s. elections. >> not to my understanding, no. >> did any individual working for this administration including the justice department ask you to stop the russian investigation? >> no. >> reporter: now, why did jim comey start taking secret notes of these meetings? under oath today comey testified that he became suspicious, that some of the conversations he was having with the president would not

be relayed accurately and in comey's own words that the president would not tell the truth or be honest about what they discussed. that question put to the former fbi director today. >> i was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting so i thought it really important to document. that combination of things i never experienced before but led me to believe i got to write it down. >> reporter: w but was comey's job ever directly threatened? the former director said he began to have a series of meetings that the president kept asking him som if he wanted to stay on the job. comey said he began to get the impression that ending the russia probe would be a condition for him to continue as fbi director. >> my common sense i could be wrong but my common sense told me what's going on here is that he's looking to get something in exchange for granting my request to stay in the

there was the phrase that we have now been telling you about, i hope you can let this go. apparently this was a conversation between the president and jim comey where the president asked comey if the fbi could let this go meaning the investigation into the former nsa adviser michael flynn. now, what did the president mean by that? well, according to jim comey today, he said he took that to mean that the president wanted this investigation to wrap up. >> i took it as a direction. as the president of the united states with me alone saying i hope this, i took this as this is what he wants me to do. i didn't obey that but that's the way i took it. >> reporter: now of course this testimony today out in the open was public. there was a lot that was discussed behind closed doors today after this open hearing. the senate intelligence committee went into a classified session to discuss matters of national

tonight, tom fitzgerald, fox5 local news. >> a warning about a deadly danger that happens when the weather warms up. police say wednesday afternoon a three-year-old boy was killed after he fell out of an upstairs window at a home in fairfax county. >> now this is something that happens thousands of times every year not always fatal but often causing serious injuries. fox5's christian leon in bethesda tonight with some advice for parents. >> reporter: good evening, that's right and it's important to keep in mind here that these types of tragedies don't just happen at apartments but in this case it could also happen at a home. now, right now we are here at strow snyder's where we're going over some of the products they sell to prevent accidents like this one here but before i get into describe wag a security guard or a safety guard does i want to go into detail about what happened yesterday afternoon at that home in fairfax county. now, police say yesterday a little boy,

boy was in an upstairs room playing near a window with a screen. he was playing near that window and that's when they say he leaned up against the screen, the screen buckled and he fell from that window. now, he was then taken to the hospital where he later died and covering to the u.s. consumer products safety commission, about nine children, nine children die each year from falling out of a window and around 4200 children are injured from these types of accidents. now, we sat down with them and spoke with them today and demonstrated how these types of security guards, how these types of safety guards work in this case. and here's what they showed u us. >> this is a window guard. you put it on your window secure it into place and that keeps your child from falling out. because you can see it would be covering where the screen would be opened. this is secured to the sides of the window and so there's no chance that your child can fall out of if you have

>> reporter: now, they also say here i do want to emphasize it's important to keep in mind that a screen in this case will not protect your child from falling out of the window. it will keep bugs out but it will not support the weight of that child. again, wanting to go over some of these products that they sell here at the hardware store that you can purchase over the counter like that window guard, there are three different types of window guards here depending on the size and how wide your window is. you can purchase these, again, to protect your child from falling out of the win dover. another option that you can do if you don't want to purchase these products, they're relatively not too expensive, you can also purchase these window stoppers here. there are two different types and what these window stoppers do essentially is it allows you to open your window a certain amount so that your child in this case will not fall out of that window. also, if you have a double hung window in this case, if your home or apartment has that

commissioners say you want to open that window if you want to get some air or ventilation, open that from the top rather than the bottom that way that opening is not easily accessible for your child. again, important variety options here. important safety tips from safety commissioners in this case to in the end save your child's life. for now reporting live here in bethesda this evening, kristen leon, fox5 local news. >> all right, let's take a live look outside at the white house today. see the flag is really blowing around. it's breezy but it's nice and warm. >> a lot of attention going on to what's happening inside the house. we'll pay attention to what's happening outside and all around. sue is here about what's about to take place. >> yes, indeed, jim and sarah, i hope you enjoyed the last couple days. these are -- yesterday only 69 degrees. more typical of april. today only into the low and mid 70's, more typical of may. we're at 74 degrees. i don't think we've been higher than that. get u

metro's leaders say with so many workers on the tracks they can't bring back automatic train apparition just yet. the fear that a operator would fail to take his train out of automatic and kill or injure one of those inspectors. remember, this system was meant for automatic operation. trains are smoother, more efficient. it's easier on the equipment. it's better for the entire system but that won't happen now for at least several more years. >> and one more thing. you know, we were talking about the forecast coming up this weekend and i mean, what, 97 degrees, going to be really hot. if you've been down to dupont or farragut north lately you know it is really warm down there. so, we got some good news, right? >> that's right. >> good news for metro commuters these days. the chillers, it's not air conditioning, the chilled air there's a temporary fix coming by the end of the month according to metro at those two stations, dupont circle and farragut north.

humidity and these will be three humid days. it's going to feel like we're in the triple digits over a hundred degrees with normal being 82 to 84, you want to be ready for that and it often does take people by surprise when it's so stifling like that. meantime look at these temperatures. 74 degrees, nice to get a break before it comes on in and nice to have some notice that it's going to be getting so terribly hot. 75 frederick, 74 martinsburg, 73 in winchester. you can see a little bit of the beginning of the heat with chicago, saint louis at 82 degrees but certainly our cool pocket across the northeast aren't the midatlantic continues tonight. beckley west virginia down to 59 degrees. so, quick check of temperatures locally and you can see that we're at 74 in the district t-68 for leonardtown that air so very dry which is one of the reasons why tonight is so incredibly pleasant. typical dewpoint for june might be 60 degrees. we're in the 40's. that means we'll get nice and cool tonight. visible satellite picture taking the clouds finally away from the breaches
