campaign. and the charges all stem from that. yes, the president is facing unknown charges at this point because if i did just yeah, they're sealed, but we're waiting. multiple news organizations, however, report there could be as many as 30 charges in connection with falsifying business records. henry rosoff rosoff has the very latest now from new york. >> and criminals who are corrupting justice system will be defeated, discredited and totally disgraced former president donald trump has waged a renewed war of words as the grand jury heard testimony in lower manhattan. >> related to the hush money payments he allegedly made to adult film star stormy daniels. daniel says she had a brief affair with mister trump who denies the encounter. by contrast with caught only brief glimpses of the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, the man prosecuting the case. he's spoken through carefully worded statement, quote, we contacted mister trump's attorney to coordinate his surrender to the manhattan

da's office for arraignment on the supreme court indictment which remains under seal. as for what we do know about the sealed charges. the key witness in the case is mister trump's former fixer and attorney michael cohen, who was convicted on a federal charge related to the daniels payment. mister trump and his allies have been assailing cohen's credibility. the grand jury also heard twice from former national enquirer publisher david packer, who said to be a key figure in the hush money payments. we may not find out specifics about the charges until right up to the moment when the former president is arraigned perhaps early next week, which will look like this, the fingerprint id be photographed and then taken to a courtroom. >> to be of good people for supreme court judge to be arraigned on the actual document veteran new york defense attorney arthur aidala says there will be a high degree of coordination with the secret service and as a result, handcuffs may not be necessary. >> he also says cases like these tend to end in a plea deal with no jail time. but

the former president and leading candidate to be the republican nominee in 2024. is already fundraising off this and trying to score political points. he may let it go to trial because the risk is not too sure about this. i do not see any judge. >> putting donald trump in jail. >> on like these charges. remember that legal stall scholars do believe that the grand jury proceedings both in georgia and at the federal level tied to january 6th and the 2020 election far more serious might risk a jail there. but back this case with existing charges, congressional republicans standing shoulder to shoulder mister ttump. now speaker mccarthy reiterating his pledge to investigate bragg as a result of this indictment. >> that was henry reporting for us. the former president responded and you can see part of that here, quote, political persecution and, quote, election interference at the highest level in history.

that's part of his statement. it reads, the democrats have lied, cheated and stolen and their obsession with trying to get trump. but now they've done the unthinkable indicting a completely innocent person and an act of blatant election interference and quote. >> well, there are serious concerns that the former president's indictment could lead to unrest in new york city. specifically. katie corrado tells us how the city is preparing. >> good morning. the barricades are up. the nypd is in place. manhattan district attorney alvin bragg received a multi car police escort out of the building thursday night. all of this part of an elaborate security plan that we're now watching play high and nypd presence surrounding manhattan criminal court thursday following the announcement of former president donald trump's indictment. but the security plans go far beyond the uniformed officers on the street. >> it's important to have a show horse, but a lot of the work that is to ensure security is done behind the

counterterrorism work the work other rethink rob medical. we'll support 2 sanitation last week. mister trump predicted on social media that, quote, death and destruction would follow an indictment. >> and posted a now deleted picture of himself holding a baseball bat next to a photo of manhattan da alvin bragg. bragg has received hundreds of threats, including a fake powder scare. the former president denies inciting any violence. nypd veteran and criminal justice professor doctor keith taylor says every security threat is planned for federal, local and state level working hard to. >> come up with a plan that >> considers. >> any and >> possibilities of probabilities regarding what can. and how to prevent those things from happening in the first place. physically getting mister trump to the courthouse will require the

upmost coordination between the secret service and courthouse staff. >> you just choreograph it when where you exchange cell phone number. so, you know, when the person is going to be arriving here, the secret service is going to be involved. so it's really going to be secret service coordinating with the court offices. >> and a spokesperson for mayor eric adams said in a statement, quote,fthe mayor is in constant contact with commissioner sewell about all public safety issues affecting the city. the nypd continues to monitor all activity and there are no credible threats to the city at this time reporting outside of manhattan criminal court. i'm katie corrado. >> all right. happening today back here in the bay area, the executive director of the san jose police officers association is going to be making her first court appearance. >> on drug charges yet, as we told you yesterday, she's accused of ordering fentanyl to her home and agreeing to distribute it for several many years covers michael thomas has been following this from the start. now he's live in san jose with the latest. michael.

>> has to fight through some fairly dry air compared to what we've been through. so that man rob us of any potential. but we'll probably best to say it because of all we've been through here, we'll call it a nuisance little shower, rather than opportunity was to get excited about. so in stormtracker 4, there you see some variable clouds kind of work. and that will be sort of the case that we saw from yesterday. add another day. so cal's all cleaned up now after a they had the unsettled weather going on from yesterday. we're not as cold this morning as yesterday morning. no frost advisory talk. most readings you will see lower to middle 40's. it's a little bit higher around the water. obviously is a climate controlled. 47 meanwhile, for san francisco winds kind of drifting out of the south but single digits to calm conditions. we have this hour. so for the breakdown today, again, noting those variable clouds today, temperatures pretty much in the middle to even upper 50's at that. and we're going remain in this pattern. it looks like throughout the next say 5 days, we do have a couple systems are kind of watching him. we'll find tune as we get closer. but might have to getting some warmer

making hush money payments to adult film star stormy daniels. >> during his 2016 run for president and our washing correspondent raquel martin takes a closer look. >> well, democrats are releasing several statements calling for a fair legal process. we know republicans are siding with the former president. they're calling this indictment purely political and are promising to go to bat for him on capitol hill. makes me the most innocent man and the history of our country. former president donald trump is now the first u.s. president to be criminally indicted a manhattan district grand jury u% voted in favor of charges against trump for his involvement in a hush money payment scheme to adult film star stormy daniels. >> they were made during his 2016 bid for president. in a statement trump calls the indictment political persecution, maintaining the position he took during last weekend's campaign rally. got nothing. they've got nothing think of and republicans are lining up in his defense on twitter. speaker of the house kevin mccarthy vow to hold

manhattan's da alvin bragg accountable. what we see before us. he's a political game being played by a local look ae just as this. this is a new york city. this is just the manhattan. this is just the borough, d a. >> south carolina senator lindsey graham called the da's actions which come during trump's 2024 presidential reelection campaign. quote, the most irresponsible decision in american history by any prosecutor. following the news, trump supporters rallied outside his mar-a-lago estate where the president currently resides and after trump called on his maggie bays to protest is looming arrest. barricades have been erected around the manhattan district attorney's office for days. the da's office says they are working with trump's team to coordinate his surrender. trump is expected to turn himself in tuesday. house republicans who do have subpoena power have promised to investigate the investigators. in this case, they've already demanded the da overturn documentation relating to this

investigation. >> the da at this point is refusing to comply for now in washington, raquel martin, back to you. >> it's 5.34, in the east bay. the police department has now put more officers on paid administrative leave during a city investigation. antioch mayor lamar thorpe says an internal investigation found potential breaches of city policy. the bay area news group reports another 8 officers are on leave 4 offensive text messages according to the east bay times. the message ers were found during a federal investigation that put it 8 other officers on leave for alleged misconduct. that was last year. the mayor says that the officers have been taken on and off duty this week and they are separate from the federal investigation. but he warns losing more officers may make services risk in terms of response times. >> if we have to ask for mutual aid, whether it's from

the sheriff's department or local agencies, that's what i'm willing to do as the mayor. once i'm briefed, i think we'll have a better understanding of what the way forward will will be. the federal investigation has left the task force now with 98 officers. >> it is authorized to have 115. >> in oakland, a fired police chief is dismissed. captain, i should say a sergeant and several other officers on paid administrative leave. all of this now has led to the police department to be hit with a scathing report. so the department appeared to be on track to end 2 decades of oversight last year. but the new report by federal monitor says the department failed to show that discipline is imposed in affair and consistent manner and quote, and that report suggests that it could be sometime before the department gets out from underneath the watchful eye of that federal monitor, the firing of police chief armstrong has divided the community. some argue his rightful. he's rightfully been held accountable while others

say he's being unfairly blamed. >> it's 5.36 and another win for the oakland a's. we're not talking about on the field which they did yesterday, but this time in court, a judge ruled against a challenge to the environmental impact report on their proposed new stadium and oakland, a san francisco appellate court ruled in the team's favor regarding an environmental review of the project that the new stadium would have limited impact, 2 air and water quality. the unanimous decision is in opposition to the lawsuit last year by a coalition called the east oakland stadium alliance. they claim the city did not adequately study the project's adverse impact. oakland mayor sheng tao applause. the judge's decision. >> so that what that means is that we're going to continue upgrading our infrastructure so we can support sustainable and resilient communities in promote up, course, economic development. and we're now one step closer to reaching that goal. >> in a statement kron for the

a's also celebrated the decision. they say we are pleased with the appellate court's decision which affirms the significant and thorough work completed on our environmentally sound visionary waterfront ballpark project >> mayor tao did not go into detail on the negotiations with the a's. only saying >> that they're doing well and getting better. we'll keep keeping our fingers crossed that it happens. 5.37 is the time. >> still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news, one east bay district attorney's accomplishments are being highlighted after their controversial time in office. and after the break, ftx founder sam bankman-fried. he's pleading not guilty. now to a string of new charges will explain. it gave some scattered clouds in our forecast today and into the weekend might s e a little passing shower with that in a. >> we'll drop temporary temperatures right now. you have before you hit the roads this morning. you need to know what your friday morning commute is going to look keeping a close eye on things keeping a close eye on things fo (imitating chicken clucks)
