the president was not impressed by mueller's appearance. the president called it a great day for republicans. mueller's testimony was mostly dry and dispassionate during more than six hours of questioning. as promised, he stayed close to the statements in his written report, and he distanced himself from topics of presidential crimes and impeachment, leaving that to congress. >> i think looking at this there was political grandstanding, followed by short one-word answers from mueller. clearly one of the big messages he had today that was very important and also irrespective of party is he warned his investigator did find foreign election meddling. it's real and a grave threat to our american democracy. >> reporter: robert mueller was sworn in wednesday at the house judiciary committee hearing in the morning and the intelligence committee hearing in the

afternoon. he gave guarded answers about his report on russian election interference and the trump campaign, declining to expand on his findings. >> i'd have to refer you to the report on that. >> reporter: democrats focused on mueller's findings that the trump campaign met multiple times with russian operatives such as the hacking of democratic servers and private swing state polling data without notifying the fbi of the foreign meddling. >> i gather that you believe that knowingly accepting foreign assistance during a presidential campaign is an unethical thing to do. >> and a crime. >> and a crime. >> yes. and a given certain circumstances. >> and to the degree that it undermines our and our institutions, we can agree that it's also unpatriotic? >> true. >> and wrong. >> true. >> reporter: republicans focused on volume 1 of mueller's report which said there was no evidence of a direct conspiracy

by the trump campaign. they also tried to discredit the report itself, saying it was a political act based on a democratic generated dossier. >> it's time for the curtain to close on the russia hoax. the conspiracy theory is dead. >> reporter: republicans asked if his legal team was bias because some attorneys had supported or donated to democrats. mueller fired back. >> i've been in this business for almost 25 years and in those 25 years, i've not had occasion once to ask somebody about their political affiliation. it's not done. >> reporter: the mueller report contained evidence that the president and his associates tried to interfere in the investigation but in his testimony wednesday, mueller said due to the justice department policy of not indicting a sitting president, his team did not consider charges of obstruction of justice. >> we decided we would not make a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. >> reporter: colorado republican ken buck pushed

mueller farther. >> could you charge the president with a crime after he left office? >> yes. >> you believe you could charge the president of the united states of obstruction of justice after he left office? >> yes. >> reporter: bay area congresswoman jackie spear asked mueller to respond to president trump's claims of a witch hunt. >> would you agree that it was not a hoax? >> absolutely. it was not a hoax. the indictments we returned against the russians, two different ones, were substantial. >> when donald trump called your investigation a witch hunt, that was also false, was it not? >> i'd like to think so. yes. >> your investigation is not a witch hunt. >> it not a witch hunt. >> reporter: in the end, mueller said his message to the american people is foreign election meddling needs immediate attention. >> we've underplayed to a certain extent thatgation that d would have long-term damage to the united states that we need to move quickly to address. >> reporter: mueller also had a strong warning when texas

republican congressman will herd asked if there's a danger to american democracy in the upcoming 2020 election from russia or other countries. >> did you find evidence to suggest they'll try to do this again? >> wasn't a single attempt they're doing it as we sit here. and they expect to do it during the next campaign. >> today mueller called for an all-out cooperation between the cia, fbi, and other federal entities to battle foreign meddling and his report said that russian social media messages were seen by more than 127 million americans both on facebook and on twitter. so there's also that question of how much the american public can stop those meddling efforts. president trump said this was a good day for republicans and for himself, calling mueller's testimony a disaster for democrats. >> the democrats had nothing and now they have less than nothing. and i think they're going to

lose the 2020 election very big, including congressional seats because of the path that they chose. >> house democratic leaders say their oversight of election interference is far from over. they plan to file lawsuits to force more testimony. speaker pelosi suggested that impeachment is still on the table. >> but if it comes to a point where the cone of silence and the obstruction of justice and the coverup in the white house prevents us from getting that information, that will not prevent us from going forward. in fact, it's even more grounds to go forward. >> you will find more coverage of the mueller testimony at ktvu.com. just look for our coverage right on the homepage. in oakland tonight, a woman survived after being hit by a batter train during the evening rush hour. batter authorities say the woman entered the track way at lake merit station about 5:30 and was hit by a train going in the northbound direction. the station was closed for about h as emergency crews

bleachers. 1-0 chicago and baez's 25th of the year. baez in front of him. kris bryant finds the seats left center despite pillar's efforts. that's number 21 of the year for bryant. 3-0 giants. made a little noise in the bottom of the inning. off starter tyler chatwood. stephen vogt drives in austin slater to make it 3-1. albert almora. rizzo wasn't there to see the final out in this one. he struck out in the fifth. not sure if he was mad at himself or plate umpire george baker but either way he was tossed. the cubs won one game in the ears series by a 4-1 final. getaway day for the as today in houston as well. they were trying not to drop two out of three to the astros before heading home. we showed you the kid last night with t shirt an

as shirt. he gets a souvenir. he's got an astros shirt underneath. he ran up against an old nemesis, justin verlander. they got to him for a run in the 1st. matt olson singles to right. josh reddick has trouble with the ball. in the 3rd with a runner on, george springer got into one. homer number 23 on the year for springer. that vaults the astros into a lead they'd hold the rest of the way. in the fifth it was jose altuve with a two-run shot. this one to straightaway center. houston hangs on for a 4-2 win. the as miss a chance to gain on the division leaders even though they retain the wildcard spot. they open a four-game series with the rangers tomorrow night. kawhi leonard was the last big chip to fall.

today the guy who helped toronto to its first ever championship was introduced along with teammate paul george as members of the los angeles clippers. that's a grinning coach doc rivers in the shot. leonard's pedigree pretty well established at this point. his acquisition should elevate the clippers immediately into the upper echelon in the west. if you think doc rivers is happy, here's how a billionaire owner acts when he thinks he's got all his ducks in a row. contrast that with the demeanor of leonard. >> i have these notes. but i got to say i'm just fired up to be here today. it's pretty cool. pretty cool. woo! >> we got something special. we can make history here. we got the right team to do it with steve, with lawrence, and doc. championship head coach. and i'm excited. >> another big off the blocko the lake tir hand forced

when davis demanded to be dealt. steve kerr was on a podcast today talking about what made that transaction different. >> i'm talking more about the anthony davis situation where a guy is perfectly healthy and got a couple years left on his deal and says i want to leave. if you come to an agreement with the team that hey, it's probably time for us to part ways, that's one thing. the davis stuff was really kind of groundbreaking i think and hopefully not a trend because it's bad for the league. >> just four stages remain in the tour de france. there are times when the scenery is so good, it can get a little distracting like in today's 124-mile stage 17. this was the phillies stage. the guy who made his move was nobody could catch him. he came in at a time of four hours, 21 points, 36 seconds. he wins his first stage in five years but it doesn't change the

overall standings. 1:35 over. we'll leave you with some things to check out on this wednesday night as we take a tour around the major leagues. cincinnati at milwaukee. lucas sims on the mound for the reds. saladino's bunt popped up and sims makes the diving catch. nice play by 3rd baseman josh van meter to avoid sims. milwaukee wins 5-4. san diego and new york. hosmer gets a shot up the middle. noah syndergaard somehow makes the stab then throws to 1st for a double play. more like the ball found syndergaard. the padres were winners by a score of 7-2. >> that was in slow motion. so fast going in real speed. coming up next at 11:00 -- >> some people have to make a decision whether they're going to buy groceries or pay their utility bill. >> outrage tonight from pg&e customers over their proposed rate hike to pay for wildfire
