from one wild reaction to another. gary mcgrady. >> great day in the newsroom. that's what that, that's what it looks like >> when we hear you have a really good forecast i'm often known to throw myself on the floor and dance wildly >> state seated calm and we'll get through this, last forecast of the morning. here's where we are, muted sunshine this morning, sun will be a little bit brighter as we progress into the late morning and early afternoon and the clouds will fill in and be mostly cloudy by the end of the afternoon, for august 6, this is great. the week doesn't look bad, doesn't look really hot. i'll show you the seven-day coming up. patient, i'll have that. reagan national is 71. dulles is 65. bwi marshall is 67 right now. couple of days here, we got clouds -- again, we have muted sunshine this morning, we're going to get into sunshine and the clouds will come backing kind of a day of mix of

and sun, 84, i believe, will touch 84 briefly today. most of the day is going to stay in the upper 70's and low 80's. rain returns for tomorrow in the form of showers, even thunderstorms, and we're going to have to. what tomorrow, because if we get a little bit of sunshine that will elevate the risk for more widespread strong or severe thunderstorms. temperatures tomorrow with the clouds and the rain will basically be in the upper 70's and low 80's. i mention rain returns tomorrow, some could be in time for the morning commute. so you know. 71 now in the stow. we were down in the upper 60's for lows. a lot of upper 50's out in the suburbs this morning, gaithersburg is 63. baltimore is 67. fredericksberg is 66 and culpeper is 64. some of those clouds streaming in overhead now again muted. it's mainly speaking most of this cloud cover is what we call debris cloudiness which is coming from west to east off big thunderstorms that happened yesterday. and last night. so once

break up these clouds, burn them off, if you will just a little bit. i think some will stay with us through the day, be reenforced with more clouds coming up this afternoon, definitely the clouds will increase by 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, mostly cloudy with limited sunshine. temperature gets up to 84 and winds on it of the south, five to ten miles per hour. southerly winds increasing the humidity just a bit. not outrageous, more than yesterday but really nice for this to him of year and especially temperatures too, 84 for a high here, gaithersburg mainly touched 80 to 81, frederick 82, manassas 83, great day out by the bay in annapolis at 80. even for the eastern shore as well. leonardtown is not bad at 81. here's the deal for tomorrow. we're technically speaking here in dc, and the i95 corridor in this marginal risk of strong to severe thunderstorms tomorrow, the greater risk of where we could get severe weather

southeast of us. my thinking right now, looking at everything, looks like that slight risk -- it might not be moved to the south, but i think the bulk of severe weather for tomorrow is probably going to stay down to the south and southeast of us, southern maryland down towards norfolk virginia bunch, places like that and central virginia. i don't think we have enough sunshine tomorrow to kind of help elevate those thunderstorms into severe weather category. that doesn't mean we don't have one or two strong storms or severe weather thunderstorms producing very heavy rain and gusty wind winds. binghamton is 54. columbus ohio 61, and 71 in town, there's the next seven days for you. this is pretty good for august. lower 80's, watch out for the rain tomorrow. then we dry out tuesday, wednesday, mostly dry on thursday. right now, next week late in the week, end over the weekend, fa

. august 62017. welcome to on the hill, i'm tom fitzgerald >> i'm ronica cleary. a grand jury is empanelled

russia's possible interference in the election, anthony scaramucci is out. there's talk steven miller may become the new communications director >> there's a lot going on >> yes, never a dull moment. >> one of the things we were talking about this week, of course, is focusing on the leak of classified information. the attorney general jeff sessions announced on friday a crackdown on leaks after conversations the president had with leaders of mexico and australia, sessions said the leaks are a quote, threat to national security. >> of this message for our friends in the intelligence community. the department of justice is open for business. and i have this warning for would be leakers. don't do it. >> joining us is jesse burns the associate editor of the hill. thanks for being with us. we'll start with sessions, he was in the hot seat a number of

from the russia investigation, he seems to have found himself back in the good graces because the president is happy about this. how serious are they about this situation with the leaks? and what are they looking at and what are they not looking at >> sessions said that number of referrals for criminal investigations have tripled. they're getting more serious, having a independent unit looking at some of these, will theyish subpoenas to media outlets that remains to be seen? i don't think they would take it serious ly. >> he got a tweet. >> he got a tweet saying good job, didn't mention him by name but that followed weeks of criticism, so that was a good day for session >> he got a lot of push-back over the talk of firing sessions. i don't know if the president listens to that, maybe it seems like it's moving in the writ direction, of course, we have all of the other staff changes we talked about that we've s

steven miller is being considered for communications director. the guy is 31, the roll-out of the travel ban was not good either side of the aisle. what does he have to his advantage >> he had this combative exchange in the press briefing. i think he got a lot of accolades >> is that when he argued with the statue of liberty >> yes. depends. it's the different avenue if they went with steven miller policy background not a big on the communications side of things >> you have the wonder why wouldn't they hire from within? how will they get anybody from outside to step no this situation right now until things settle down? the reason anthony scaramucci was brought in because we had heard numerous reports that they were having trouble finding somebody to fill this job. has anything changed in the last couple days that alters

makes this a more attractive job than maybe it was ten days ago >> potentially with john kelly as chief of staff. it was a relative calm week, you might have a more seasoned communications professional that may be more amenable to working there >> there's a difference between leaks that are threats to national security and stories which are gossipy and about intrigue which the president seems to not like just as much as anything having to do with national security. is there a difference between somebody reporting on, you know, gossip in the white house in west wing and things that are threatening national security >> absolutely. it would have to be a prosecutesible offense and so it would have to involve classified information and be breaking some tip of statue >> there's seems to be no difference in the vladimir putin >>

avenues, you have the white 3 house trying to clamp down on the gossip me information and you have the attorney general who's more focused on the criminal leaks intelligence information. >> the palace intrigue is very we'll with this administration, let's move to healthcare quickly. i interviewed kellyanne conway and asked her about the threats and the tweets about the csr payments and also this new talk of bipartisanship let's listen to this and then i got a question. >> he certainly tweeted that the csr payments, the bail-outses for insurance companies and congress these are things that are not necessarily popular to americans and he is also just signalling leadership on healthcare issue. we've had governors here just this woke, would he have had senators, you've had talk of bipartisan cooperation on healthcare that would be something new. we've had not a single democrat come forward >> is he open to that >> he's always been open to that. we said that so many times. i believe the democratic party should change its

sign or put the, stop resistance and obstruction, we want them to come to the table. we can't get them to come to the table. they go on tv all the time talking about different things but we can't get them to come to the table. we'd like their help >> if there really is now talk of bipartisanship. is this launch the death of partisan? >> yes. i think that would be a fair assessment. and whether the trump administration and this white house wants it to happen or not, democrats and republicans in congress are starting to work together, the senate health committee is scheduling hearings how to stabilize the insurance markets under obamacare starting next month. if your stabilizing those markets it's hard to trying to push the repeal >> i'm laughing at that because it's called regular order, it's the way you're supposed to write bills. maybe they will sit down at the table if you open the door. jesse we appreciate you coming in. the probe into any collusion between the trump administration and russia continues to be front

and center in washington. this week, special counsel robert mueller empanelled a to grand jury as part of his investigation. president trump's lawyer, jay soak low spoke about the grand jury >> it allows defense lawyers and prosecutor to put forward evidence necessary and to basically present what evidence they have to the grand jury. this is how you get witnesses to testify when needed and so i do think this is cobb oh who is special counsel to the white house and this is correct in moving it forward >> glen ivy is an attorney with the price been wits lawmaker here in dc. former federal prosecutor, attorney and a well-known face on fox 5. thanks for being here, glen. let's talk about the grand

blowing past what they are for folks. so what is a grand jury? and what is its role right now in this investigation? how is mueller using a grand jury >> they use it as an investigative body. it's not part of the prosecutor. it's part of courts. judiciary, they have the power to gather evidence using subpoenas and by bringing in evidence for testimony, but the key piece here is this will allow mueller to get to all the documents that he needs bank records, financial records, tax records, anything along those lines. and decide if he wants to bring an indictment on that matter, which is what a grand jury ultimately does >> two questions if mueller goes, meaning if the president fires him, the grand jury stays >> the president cannot foyer the grand jury >> the second

little more interesting from your perspective, president trump is obviously still frustrated about jeff sessions no the recusing himself. do you think we would not see this convening of the grand jury? how significant if he was still part of this would that be in some stopping something like this happening >> i don't know why we got focused on that it's almost renter. >> maybe that's why he's focusing on it because it's irrelevant >> rosenstein picked mueller to run the investigation. and under department of justice regulations you have to kind of stay away. sessions had to recuse himself and i think it will move forward in the way it typically does >> robert mueller took this job to and a half months ago and the fact though that a grand jury is empanelled should not surprise anybody. everybody knows he's been hiring these prosecutors. left and right in this city. a lot of these are top financial guys that look at banks transactions from

fact he's been in this job to and a half month, what should that tell people about where they're at with this right now? does it necessarily mean they have information and they have evidence after two and a half months or are they looking for that? >> i think they're just getting started. you do have fbi agents who have mode on these sorts of issues - for awhile. they were brought in when mueller took this position, they hit the ground running but they had a head start as well >> we heard seclo, the white house said they're in favor of anything that accelerates the process. they seem to be saying nothing to see here this is normal. is the press overreacting to the significance of the grand jury? >> no >> put it in perspective for how significant and serious it is to take this step. >> well, i mean, it is expected. you know, when you bring in

special prosecutor. they're got empanel a grand jury or begin working with a grand jury so they can gather this information. this is standard practice for prosecutors. it's a big deal because it makes it clear it could be heading towards criminal prosecution, and the other piece is that by moving to a grand jury, bringing up a grand jury in washington, dc, that signals there's a focus now on activities that were happening in washington as opposed to other places. >> i want to ask you about something going on in the hill. while all this intrigger was going on about mueller's grand jury, a lot of activity, bipartisan competition now to protect robert mueller, there's one bill by senator chris koons which would give mueller the ability if he is fired to go to a three, judge panel and appeal that. and on the front end lindsey graham is proposing legislation along with cory booker to stop this firing happen in the first place before this gets going. we have

people on the conservative side this is an overreach on congress's part you're dealing with presidential powers and this could wind up in the supreme court. very much, the court has sided with executive branch on these things. are we touching in areas that could wind up before the supreme court? because congress is getting involved in presidential powers and we know with neil gorsuch fundamentally it's still in place >> it's unlikely they would take congress to court in part because the republicans are leading the senate and the chairs of those committees are republican, out be -- trump would be for itting his own party and as you mentioned, nixon, v united states for example, frequently the supreme court decided with congress and ability of investigators to get information that they think might be relevant. >> glen ivy thank four being with us. we appreciate your input and inso it. let's move to international

issue. let's talk about north korea. the united nations voted unanimously to impose new sanctions on north korea after pyongyang's repeated missile launching. >> this is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation. the sang sanctions will cut deep and will give the north korean leadership a activate oft deprivation they've chosen to inflict on the north korean people. >> cross the river, president trump is on a working vacation in new jersey and tweeted saying the u.n. resolution is the single largest economic sanctions package ever on north korea over one billion dollars in costs to north korea. so there's been movement on this hopefully in a positive way. but so far nothing the u.n. or any of the other diplomatses seem to have done from behaving the way it has >> you have to wonder if sanctions can work in

like north korea where there doesn't seem to be much concern about the people. seems to be a step in the right direction. coming up the economy continues to show growth, we'll take a closer look at that >> we'll talk transportation in our region, very big headache, whether on the road, rails, everywhere you go, for a look at what's being done and still has been to be in the pipeline, fox 5 on the hill stay with us, we'll be right back. l

♪ ♪ ♪. ♪ ♪ ♪. welcome back to fox 5 local news on the hill. the economy is strong and job growth continues to rise, the largest unemployment numbers show this, they put the job list rate at 4.3%, a 16 year low, employers added 209,000 jobs. the dow jones industrial average closed at a record high. over 22,000 as stocks gained across the board. with us to take a deeper look at the economy and what is driving growth anna swan san staff writers at the "washington post." you wrote an interesting piece, the job market just recovered from the recession, men and white people haven't. and i think that's an interesting observation to make especially because it's undoubted'sly true that trump received a great amount of support from

seeing something like this, will they put the blame on president trump? is this just a symptom of how the economy is bouncing back? and the jobs and industries they're in paint a better picture for us with that. >> the research that you're talking about was really interesting. it comes from the institution hamilton project and basically they're looking at how jobs recovered since the recession. and their research shows that since november, 2007, the month before the recession started, now last month, we're at that same level, before the recession hit. basically we're back to the same employment level before the recession about a decade ago but the gains haven't been even in that time. as you mentioned, men haven't recovered as much as women have. white people are still lagging a little bit behind other racial grown-ups.

where less educated people are now back to where they were before the recession >> you look at where the president's base is in this country, this week he had another campaign style rally in west virginia. at what point do that economic data and people's opinion of this administration start to link up and cause real problems for him? his base is where they tend to spend all their attention right now. >> yes, i think you're bringing up a good point. because i mean, this was obviously a very strong message of president trump's campaign, that you know, these some people had not recovered fully from the recession, and that he was got try to do something about it by reviving manufacturing for example, but this research also points to the challenge of doing that. because you know, you still have, as we said, you know, would it people not back to the levels that they were before the

point out that the unemployment rate for whites is still much lower than for african-americans? >> i expect it comes from hope from this to cut regulations and taxes, and if that doesn't happen, will were he see a drop? >> i definitely think there is an effect of the expectation of a tax cuts especially corporate tax cuts of infrastructure spending helped to boost confidence. the far bigger effect is the momentum of the economy. monthly job gains basically on par with last year. we have seen this economic expansion is the third on record. so the economy just has a lot of steam moving forward, and although growing somewhat slowly it continues to benefit a lot of people >> thank you for being with us, we appreciate your insight on this important topic. . talk about transportation this mni

area, you can't help but talk about it. some issues that our region is dealing with. >> familiar face here, joins us this morning, martin decar ro a fox 5 news transportation contributor. thanks for being here, let's start with larry hogan. the governor of maryland fired off a letter to the faa, which a lot of people, not only maryland but portions of virginia are interested has to do with airport noise >> he sent the letter to the faa in the spring got no response so sent the letter to secretary of transportation elaine chow saying the head of the faa does not seem to understand that chronic aircraft noise exposes people to stress and medical conditions as well as property values. how did it get all the way to the level of governor hogan sending a letter to the secretary of

we have communities, as you mentioned on all sides of the potomac, but here we're dealing with, next jen instead of having airplanes disturb, next gen by saving time and fuel, concentrates flights over a narrow band, fewer overall homes are getting aircraft noise but those that are are underneath this narrow band of flights. 800 in and out of reagan national >> what i read is that it reduces fuel, time, i mean, when people are making these decisions like that, those are very compelling arguments.pof c this sound pollution, is important as well. but how much power do they have when you're talking about costs, money, time and effort >> what can possibly be done to reverse this? the folks affected are asking for disbursal again, that means more homes will be

>> obviously, you know, the safetrack wrapped up recently. does that mean work has ended but there's this thing that i call metro original the decision when metro created in the 60's, to not get some kind of dedicated funding source. where are we can marlin, virginia, dc and the federal government, where are we in august >> not looking great at the moment. first of all you have loudoun county board of supervisors, loudoun county will become the 9th contributing jurisdiction once it's rail line reaches dulles anything like that saying forget about it when it comes to a regional sales tax. as you know in virginia, another tack not popular. governor hogan saying he's against a regional sales tax, but if prince george and montgomery county are willing to go along with it. he would support it. but it has to come from annapolis, richmond and dc. dc is on board. but we're running out of time. it's only august but soon legislation would have to be prepared, filed so when the

can come up with potentially a one cent increase to a regional sales tax. it's not looking good >> even though one cent it's going to add up. martin decar ro contribute tore >> i miss you at the metro board meetings >> i don't think they miss me. you might be the only one. >> up next, you're going to love this, heart warming story, reunion for a father and daughter >> you're watching fox 5 on the hill. stay with us.
