he was related to sam patten but sam patten, according to prosecutors, was placing op eds in u.s. media outlets and organizing political meetings on capitol hill. the guy for whom sam patten was illegally lobbying, it wasn't victor yankovic's chief of staff. paul manafort is being charged with being an unregistered foreign agent, sam patent, an unregister unregistered agent. all indications are that part of opposition block. the unnamed foreign official described throughout the documents, all indication is that he was this guy, sergei. part of opposition bloc chief of staff yankovic if he is in fact unnamed official described in the documents. it should be noted that in the evidence that was introduced in the last paul manafort trial, that same guy, sergei lovochkin is the same pay master for paul manafort for all the work did he in ukraine. more than $40 million of the overseas payments that prosecutors funneled to paul manafort came from this guy, sergei lovochkin. so lots of linked to manafort. you may have heard when they charged this guy sam patten today and they got his guil

according to the statement of offense in the sam patten case, sam patten convinced some american person, we don't know who it was, to write a check that was a $50,000 check that was beak supposed to look like an american $50,000 donation to the trump inauguration. that $50,000 donation obtained four tickets to trump inaugural events. that american person, whoever it was, that person who wrote the check in their own name, that person got reimbursed the $50,000 from sam patten and his company. then sam patten and his company got reimbursed by the ukrainian oligarch guy. yanukovych's chief of staff. he wired sam $50,000 to cover the expense out of an offshore bank account that he controlled in cyprus. so that's the mechanism is interesting, right? money coming from abroad that sam patten is passing through his money in washington through to some other american citizen who donates the money to trump. it's foreign money but it has to go through that little route to get to the trump inaugural campaign. now, i'm interested in every part of that including who was the unnamed american who wrote

report being live from the mission this evening, sam brock, nbc bay area news. >> sam, thank you. summer comes to an end in just a few days. the temperatures are actually rising. this is our live hd cam in san rafael. it means a higher fire danger tomorrow. meteorologist rob maeta, the fire season didn't happen until last year in october, correct? >> yeah, the combination of the dry season with dry north to offshore breezes, we'll see a combination of that setting up late tomorrow into thursday. you notice the orange areas from marin county, sonoma, napa counties. it's the hill tops upped a fire weather watch towards tomorrow evening and thursday. watch the wind speeds getting into thursday, the areas of yellow and orange, wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour. those higher hills. look at these humidity levels. 3:00 a.m. thursday, just 22%. napa dropping down to 10%. clear lake midday thursday. so forth north bay, you've got the fire weather watch for our valleys. a return to 90 degree temperatures. coming up at 5:16 i'll let you know how long the heat and fire danger will be part of

mid-50s on the sam te'o coast.uds will burn off and a few high clouds in the north but the forecast is slowly building up the temperatures through the interior. and they will not last long. a few 80s and low 90s friday and saturday. today 80s and 60s and 70s. 8:01. we have good news. >>> this is a mixed bag. i think if you can avoid highway 24, i would take bart or some other alternate route it is a mess still even though we just get word that all lanes at the tunnel has been shut down. it is back open now. beyond this picture, it starts clearing up a little bit as it gets closer. but that is not the case. and this is why, because of the earlier crash inside the tunnel. moving out and clearing it out of the way. there is a report of another collision that happened in the backup at old tunnel road. so bottom line, see if you can avoid this area and take bart or find another route. you can go south on 680 and 580 westbound. it will probably take you a little less time. 880 in oakland, north and southbound directions.

let's talk about this guy sam patton.are, some guy made a statement to the inauguration committee. dig a little bit deeper and you find out this guy, sam patton, was a contractor for cambridge analitica. this is a russian backed political party in ukraine. tell me how you think this fits into the bigger picture. >> if we had carrie on, she'd have a tremendous chart on this guy alone. best of all, also a partner of paul manafort. this guy is connected to all these folks. they are all mentioned in some way or another in this agreement. and, you know, it is a discreet case. he didn't register as a lobbyist for ukraine, but i think the two key things here are the donations that he admitted to making through, you know, straw men sort of phony donors from ukrainian sources. we know that federal prosecutors have been looking at the trump inauguration committee for perhaps taking in foreign money, which is not supposed to. it is illegal to do that. and here is the first evidence that it happened. mother jones reported a long time

so sam, within a margin of error plus or minus 3.8, you're possibly into the territory of a majority of americans there. that happened quickly. >> quite quickly in fact. and you know, it's foreboding for trump, obviously. the numbers suggest that should democrats take over the chamber it's a real possibility. although of course you need a vastly bigger majority in the senate to make it happen. bit. now we're pretty much down to dan scavino and stephen miller as the people who are still close to the inner circle from the campaign days. you still of course have jared and ivanka. but it seems that the two of them are doing a lot more of their own things, not so much in -- i mean, they're obviously still in the west wing but not in these constant daily flows. there is a lot of tension between the president and john kelly. it doesn't necessarily mean it's fatal but they don't have that close relationship they had anymore. so when you look at who his advisers are at this point that are incredibly close i would say we're down to as i mentioned scavino, stephen miller. bolton is still very c

to register as a foreign agent, now he will cooperate with mueller, sam patton, when you look at this year, eugene, another development as the special counsel moves forward. >> exactly. this is the latest in the trump campaign individuals were involved in lobbying efforts with foreign governments that were in investigation of our laws here in the states and were of special concern to the special counsel. it's a concern to america as a whole. it brings into how the foreign policy is being influenced perhaps by some of the agreements and relationships that were made by people on the campaign an foreign governments. these are just some of the beginnings of what we can expect to see more of, consider wack we have seen from microsoft so fan and those that worked with him. >> eyes vanjoyce vance, it's go have you here. can you tell us c this was a good deal or fought such a good deal in those moves, what do you make of papadopoulos as well as patton? >> they're really interesting in the fact that the doj has to stand down after the artificial june 1 date guiliani proposed. what we will see

so sam, within a margin of error plus or minus 3.8, you're possibly into the territory of a majority of americans there. that happened quickly. >> quite quickly in fact. and you know, it's foreboding for trump, obviously. the numbers suggest that should democrats take over the chamber it's a real possibility. although of course you need a vastly bigger majority in the senate to make it happen. but it's also i would say a bit foreboding for democrats too. and the reason i say that is this. there is a real divide within the party ranks over how to handle this very issue. tom city stier, the billionaire environmentalist has led a robust and active and quite successful organizing campaign about the need to impeach trump. his e-mail list is second to maybe only bernie sanders at this point in the democratic party. and he is finding himself butting heads with the leadership ranks of democrats, the nancy pelosis and chuck schumers who would like nothing more than to not talk about this whatsoever because they see it as a motivator for the republican base. so when you see polls that say 40%
