KIM. HEY, KAREN. WELL IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT TO THE TIGERS GAME TONIGHT AT 75 DEGREES AT 7:00,
UPPER 60S AT TEN, BUT WE’RE
STILL UNDER AN AIR QUALITY ALERT
IMPROVEMENT FOR THE WEEKEND WITH
SOME RAIN.
>> WE’RE ALSO LIVE OVER FORD
FIELD. POP SUPERSTAR TAYLOR
SWIFT TAKES THE STAGE IN JUST A
FEW HOURS. THE DOORS OPEN VERY
SOON. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE YOU
THERE LIVE. PAULA AN INFECTED
WILDLIFE ALERT.
>> I’LL TELL YOU WHICH ONE OF
OUR SUBURBS IS HAVING A SELL OF
RAT DISTEMPER, CANINE DISTEMPER
AND WHY THIS COULD BE REALLY,
REALLY DANGEROUS FOR YOU AND
YOUR PETS.
>> LOCAL 4 NEWS STARTS NOW WITH
A BREAKING NEWS ALERT.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. I’M KAREN
DREW. THE NEWEST INDICTMENT
AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS BEEN UNSEALED. WE HAVE
LEARNED THAT HE’S FACING 37
FELONY COUNTS OVER ALLEGED
MISHANDLING OF CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS. THE SPECIAL COUNSEL
JUST TOLD US WHY HE THINKS THIS
CASE IS SO IMPORTANT.
>> OUR LAWS THAT PROTECT
NATIONAL DEFENSE INFORMATION AN
ARE CRITICAL TO THE SAFETY AND
SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
AND THEY MUST BE ENFORCED. ALL
RIGHT, KIMBERLY GILL JOINS US
NOW TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT THE VERY LATEST
INFORMATION KEN.
>> YEAH, HI, KAREN. GOOD
AFTERNOON TO YOU. WE KNOW A LOT
MORE ABOUT THIS INDICTMENT THAN
WE DID JUST A FEW HOURS AGO. THE
DOCUMENTS SHOW NEW DETAILS ON
EXACTLY HOW PROSECUTORS ALLEGE
THE FORMER PRESIDENT MISHANDLED
VERY SENSITIVE INFORMATION. THE
49 PAGE CHARGING DOCUMENT PAINTS
A PORTRAIT OF HOW TRUMP TREATED
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. OF
COURSE, THE ALLEGATIONS STILL,
THOUGH, NEED TO BE PROVED IN
COURT. THERE’S AN ACCUSATION THE
FORMER PRESIDENT SHARED A
CLASSIFIED MAP RELATED TO A
MILITARY OPERATION. THE
INDICTMENT ACCUSES HIM OF
WILLFULLY DEFYING JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT DEMANDS TO RETURN
DOCUMENTS HE HAD TAKEN FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE. WE’VE LEARNED ONE
OF TRUMP’S AIDES, WALT NAUTA, IS
NOW CHARGED. PROSECUTORS SAY HE
WAS SEEN ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
REMOVING BOXES FROM MAR A LAGO,
ONE STARTLING CLAIM SAYS
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS WERE KEPT
IN A BATHROOM SHOWER OR A
BALLROOM AND OTHER ROOMS ALL
OVER HIS FLORIDA HOME. THE
INDICTMENT INCLUDES SEVERAL
STILLS SHOWING DOCUMENTS
SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT’S HOME. WE JUST GOT
THIS VIDEO INTO THE NEWSROOM
THAT YOU’RE SEEING HERE. FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS DENYING ANY
WRONGDOING, EVEN BEFORE THE
INDICTMENT WAS UNSEALED. THE
SPECIAL COUNSEL SPOKE VERY
BRIEFLY AND DID NOT TAKE
QUESTIONS. BUT HE’S TRYING TO
PERSUADE THE PUBLIC THIS IS NOT
ABOUT POLITICS.
>> WE HAVE ONE SET OF LAWS IN
THIS COUNTRY AND THEY APPLY TO
EVERYONE APPLYING THOSE LAWS IS
COLLECTING FACTS. THAT’S WHAT
DETERMINES THE OUTCOME OF AN
INVESTIGATION ACTION. NOTHING
MORE AND NOTHING LESS.
>> SO I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU,
I’M AN INNOCENT MAN. I DID
NOTHING WRONG. AND WE WILL FIGHT
THIS OUT JUST LIKE WE’VE BEEN
FIGHTING FOR SEVEN YEARS. IT
WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF WE COULD
DEVOTE OUR FULL TIME TO MAKING
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND SOME OF
THE ACCOUNTS FACING FORMER
PRESIDENT CARRY STIFF PENALTIES
WITH MAXIMUM SENTENCES OF 20
YEARS EACH.
>> YOU’LL ALSO WANT TO REMEMBER
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS FACING
SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION TO
OVER HIS OWN TROUBLES WITH
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AS WELL.
THAT INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING.
WE’LL HAVE MORE ON ALL OF THIS,
OF COURSE, WHEN YOU JOIN US FOR
LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE. YEAH, IT’S
ALL COMING IN. WE’RE ALSO
HEARING FROM VICE HIS FORMER
VICE PRESIDENT, MIKE PENCE,
WHO’S OBVIOUSLY WAS HIS FORMER
BOSS. AND HE’S TALKING TODAY. HE
SEEMED TO GIVE SOME MIXED
MESSAGES BEFORE HE HEARD THE NEW
DETAILS.
>> FIRST, LET ME BE CLEAR. NO
ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. I HAD
HOPED THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
WOULD SEE ITS WAY CLEAR TO
RESOLVE THESE ISSUES WITH THE
FORMER PRESIDENT WITHOUT MOVING
FORWARD WITH CHARGES. AND I’M
DEEPLY TROUBLED TO SEE THIS
INDICTMENT MOVE FORWARD RIGHT
NOW.
>> NBC NEWS IS ALSO WORKING THE
STORY ON THE NEW TRUMP
INDICTMENT. THE JUDGE IN THE
CASE IS THE SAME JUDGE WHO
FAVORED TRUMP WITH PREVIOUS
RULINGS, LESTER HOLT WILL HAVE
MUCH MORE ON ALL OF THIS AT 630
ON NIGHTLY NEWS. OKAY. THE OTHER
BIG STORY, THE FIRST FORECAST,
AIR QUALITY SLOWLY IMPROVING
HERE IN METRO DETROIT, BUT AN
ALERT HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR
ANOTHER EIGHT HOURS. WE HAVE
BEEN FOLLOWING THOSE HEALTH
CONCERNS THANKS TO THOSE
HISTORIC WILDFIRES IN CANADA.
HERE’S KIM ADAMS WITH THE VERY
LATEST. AS WILDFIRES CONTINUE TO
BURN.
>> BUT WE ARE SEEING IMPROVING
CONDITIONS NOT JUST HERE IN
METRO DETROIT, BUT ESPECIALLY ON
THE EAST COAST. IN FACT, NEW
YORK RIGHT NOW IN THE GOOD
CATEGORY, WHICH IS HARD TO
BELIEVE AFTER SEEING THOSE
PICTURES FROM JUST A COUPLE OF
DAYS AGO. WASHINGTON, D.C, NOW
MODERATE. AS WE ZOOM IN, THOUGH,
HERE IN METRO DETROIT, WE’RE
STILL YELLOW, WHICH IS MODERATE.
BUT YOU GO JUST A LITTLE BIT TO
THE WEST OF US AND YOU GET INTO
UNHEALTHY FOR SOME, WHICH MEANS
PEOPLE WITH RESPIRATORY ISSUES
ALREADY AND THEN ALSO UNHEALTHY
FOR EVERYONE. ONE IN THE
SOUTHWEST PART OF THE STATE. SO
OUR AIR QUALITY, THOUGH, IN THE
IMMEDIATE METRO DETROIT AREA IS
AT MODERATE. IT CAN FLUCTUATE,
THOUGH. SO WE’RE STILL UNDER AN
AIR QUALITY ALERT UNTIL MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT. NOW, TOMORROW, THOUGH,
WE SHOULD SEE THAT AIR QUALITY
IMPROVE AS TEMPERATURES GET INTO
THE MID 80S. ONE WARM DAY AND
THEN RAIN ARRIVES FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF THE WEEKEND AND I’LL
TIME THAT OUT FOR YOU IN JUST A
FEW MINUTES.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANKS, KIM.
>> ALL RIGHT. DETROIT IS ABOUT
TO HOST TWO OF THE BIGGEST
CONCERTS OF THE YEAR AS POP
SUPERSTAR TAYLOR SWIFT BRINGS
HER ERAS TOUR TO FORD FIELD. THE
DOORS OPEN IN JUST ABOUT 30
MINUTES. MONTHS OF ANTICIPATION
LEADING UP TO THIS MOMENT. MEGAN
WOODS HAS BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF
TIME WITH THE SWIFTIES IN THE
PAST 24 HOURS. SHE’S BACK AT IT
RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT. DO YOU
HAVE ANY I SEE YOU GOT THE
BRACELETS ON MEGAN.
>> YEAH. YES.
>> OH, MY GOODNESS. KAREN, I
HAVE BEEN TO A LOT OF CONCERTS.
I’VE BEEN TO A LOT OF PLACES,
BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS MUCH
SEQUENCE AND THIS MUCH
FRIENDSHIP BRACELET. SO I MET A
FAMILY WHO DROVE TWO HOURS THERE
FROM WEST MICHIGAN. THEY MADE
400 FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS AND NOT
JUST WITH SONG NAMES. YOU SEE IT
HAS DETROIT AND THE DATE ON
THERE. AND THEY SAY THEY STARTED
MAKING THESE FRIENDSHIP
BRACELETS BACK IN MARCH. NOW,
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE
ATMOSPHERE HERE, IT’S A LOT MORE
FANS THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY.
SO YOU HAVE SOME FANS BEHIND ME
AT THE MERCHANDISE BOOTH. YOU
ALSO HAVE FANS OVER HERE TAKING
PICTURES. AND THEN THESE FANS
OVER HERE ARE IN LINE TO GET IN
FOR THEIR FLOOR SEATS. SO A LOT
GOING ON. AND AS WE’VE BEEN
STANDING HERE, PEOPLE COMING UP
TO US AND GIVING US FRIENDSHIP
BRACELETS AND JUST SHOWING OFF
THEIR OUTFITS. NOW IF YOU TAKE A
VIEW FROM SKY FOUR, YOU CAN SEE
HOW LONG THAT LINE IS JUST TO
GET SOME MERCHANDISE. NOW, THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THOSE LINES,
THEY DON’T HAVE TICKETS, BUT
THEY’RE JUST GETTING, YOU KNOW,
SOUVENIRS AND THIS IS JUST A
PORTION OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
OUT HERE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT
BECAUSE REMEMBER, THERE’S A
TIGERS GAME AT 640 TONIGHT. SO
THOSE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN.
THEY’VE BEEN OUT HERE SINCE
EARLY MORNING. WE RAN INTO SOME
PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE LAST NIGHT
TO STAY OVERNIGHT AT THE CASINOS
, AT THE HOTELS. SO A LOT OF
THESE DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES ARE
SEEING A LOT OF BUSINESS TODAY
AND TOMORROW. ONE OF THE BUSIEST
WEEKENDS. SO IF YOU’RE PLANNING
TO SPEND SOME TIME IN DOWNTOWN
DETROIT, GIVE YOURSELF SOME
EXTRA TIME. PLAN AHEAD, PLAN FOR
PARKING, REPORTING LIVE FROM
FORD FIELD, I’M MEGAN WOODS,
LOCAL 4.
>> IT’S GOING TO BE A NIGHT TO
REMEMBER REALLY HISTORY MAKING
FOR ALL OF THESE PEOPLE GOING
DOWN.
>> THOSE TWEENS, A DREAM COME
TRUE.
>> WE’LL CHECK BACK WITH YOU A
LITTLE LATER. THANKS, MEGAN. AS
WE MENTIONED, DOORS TO FORD
FIELD OPEN AT 430.
>> THAT’S ABOUT 23 MINUTES AWAY.
IF YOU’RE COUNTING. CONCERT
STARTS AT 630 WITH SOME OPENING
ACTS. TAYLOR SWIFT IS EXPECTED
TO TAKE THE STAGE ABOUT 8:00.
PARKING LOTS NEAR THE STADIUM
ARE PRETTY MUCH ALL SOLD OUT, SO
YOUR BEST BET IS TO PARK FURTHER
AWAY. AND THEN YOU COULD PERHAPS
TAKE THE QUEUE LINE OR PEOPLE
MOVER TO THE STADIUM. WE POSTED
MORE ON THAT LOGISTICAL
INFORMATION AT CLICK ON
DETROIT.COM FOR TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW. SO IT REALLY IS A BUSY
WEEKEND. DOWNTOWN SO MAKE SURE
TO PLAN AHEAD. AND OF COURSE,
HAVE FUN. CITY OF DETROIT IS
LAUNCHING A NEW DEPARTMENT TO
HELP PEOPLE FIND A PLACE TO
LIVE. IT’S CALLED THE DETROIT
HOUSING SERVICES OFFICE.
DETROITERS WHO ARE AT RISK OF
LOSING THEIR HOMES OR APARTMENTS
CAN CALL A NEW CITY HELP LINE.
THAT NUMBER IS ON YOUR SCREEN
RIGHT NOW. 866313, 2005 20 313
2520. THEY WILL BE CONNECTED
WITH LANDLORDS, LEGAL RESOURCES
AND FINANCIAL HELP TO COVER THE
COST OF MOVING THE IDEA IS TO
PREVENT HOMELESSNESS.
>> WE KNOW THAT RESIDENTS WHO
HAVE HOUSING INSECURITY ARE
OFTENTIMES NOT ABLE TO ACCESS
THE RESOURCES THEY NEED THE
MOST. NAVIGATING YOU KNOW,
HOUSING APPLICATIONS, HOUSING
AVAILABILITY, TRYING TO FIND
QUALITY LANDLORDS MAY BE
DIFFICULT. AND SO THIS TEAM
WILL, ON A ONE ON ONE BASIS,
NAVIGATE THAT WHOLE PROCESS WITH
YOU AND FOR YOU AS A RESIDENT,
PEOPLE WILL BE ON STAFF TO HELP
PEOPLE.
>> THIS NEW OFFICE IS BEING
FUNDED IN PART BY THE AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN. WE’VE GOT AN ALERT
FOR YOU. IT’S BEING SOUNDED IN
AN OAKLAND COUNTY SUBURB BECAUSE
OF A HUGE SPIKE IN THE CASES OF
RACCOONS THAT ARE INFECTED WITH
A HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. PAULA
TOBIN SHOWS US DOG OWNERS ARE
BEING ASKED TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT
AND ALSO TAKE SOME EXTRA
PRECAUTIONS FOR THEIR PETS. SO
HERE IN THE CITY OF ROCHESTER
HILLS, THEY ACTUALLY EMPLOY A
NATURALIST.
>> AND THAT NATURALIST IS DEEPLY
, DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS.
AND FAMILY OF SEEING SO MANY
VERY, VERY SICK RACCOONS WITH
CANINE DISTEMPER. THIS VIDEO OF
A TROY, MICHIGAN, RACCOON
AFFECTED WITH SOMETHING THREE
WEEKS AGO WAS TERRIFYING TO
WATCH. JULIE MELODY IS THE
WILDLIFE SPECIALIST WITH THE
MICHIGAN DNR. WE LIKE TO GET AT
LEAST ONE ANIMAL FROM THAT AREA
WHERE THE OUTBREAK IS OCCURRING
TO CONFIRM WHAT IS GOING ON.
>> AND AT THE SAME TIME WE WILL
TEST FOR RABIES AND RULE OUT
RABIES. WE HAVEN’T HAD A CASE OF
RACCOONS AND RABIES SINCE THE
90S.
>> DNR WILDLIFE EXPERTS SAY THEY
DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS RACCOON WAS
INFECTED WITH BECAUSE WHEN THE
ANIMAL WAS CAUGHT AND DESTROYED,
IT WAS NOT SENT TO THEIR LABS.
>> ONCE WE GET AN ANIMAL IN FROM
AN AREA, FROM A SPECIES THAT’S
PART OF THAT OUTBREAK AND WE
CONFIRM IT, THEN WE CAN SAY THAT
THE REST OF THOSE ARE LIKELY
DISTEMPER, DISTEMPER, CANINE
DISTEMPER SPECIFICALLY.
>> THAT’S WHAT’S DEFINITELY
MAKING THE ROUNDS. JUST NORTH OF
TROY IN ROCHESTER HILLS.
>> IT HAPPENS TO A CERTAIN
DEGREE EVERY YEAR, MAYBE BETWEEN
5 AND 10. BUT THIS YEAR WE FOUND
OVER 40.
>> LANCE DARBOH, THE CITY’S
NATURALIST, WILL ACTUALLY GO
INTO THE COMMUNITY TO PICK UP
SICK ANIMALS AS THEY START
GETTING CRUSHED.
>> THERE, EYES CROSSED, SHOT.
THEY EVEN BECOME BLIND SOMETIMES
AND THEY’RE THEIR FUR WILL GO
INTO TREMORS AND HAVE AND HAVE
BE SHAKING. THEY’LL FALL DOWN.
>> AND HE HAS NEVER SEEN AN
INFECTION CELL LIKE THIS BEFORE.
>> WE’VE RECEIVED CALLS FROM ALL
OVER THE CITY. WE GOT THEM FOR A
YEAR STRAIGHT. YOU KNOW, SO
LIKE, YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO ONE A
WEEK. AND SOMETIMES MULTIPLES IN
A DAY.
>> CANINE DISTEMPER IS A HIGHLY
, HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. IT IS
AN INCURABLE, ALMOST ALWAYS
FATAL DISEASE THAT AFFECTS THE
RESPIRATORY, GASTROINTESTINAL
AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS. PET
DOGS UP TO DATE WITH VACCINATE
LIONS WILL HAVE THIS AT THE TOP
OF THE LIST. BUT STILL, PET
OWNERS IN ROCHESTER HILLS ARE
BEING ASKED TO KEEP AN EYE ON
THEIR DOG AS DON’T LET THEM OUT
TO RUN BY THEMSELVES, ESPECIALLY
AT NIGHT.
>> DISTEMPER CAN BE AIRBORNE
FROM THE ANIMAL COUGHING AND
ANOTHER ANIMAL COULD GET IT.
>> THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS
SICK WILDLIFE HAS TO BE REMOVED
FROM COMMUNITIES. BUT IF YOUR
PARTICULAR COMMUNITY DOESN’T
HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO THAT,
IT FALLS ON THE HOMEOWNER
USUALLY TO HIRE A PRIVATE
ORGANIZATION AND SOME PEOPLE
CAN’T AFFORD TO DO THAT OR WON’T
DO THAT. AND THAT IN ITSELF
CREATES A PROBLEM PAULA TUTMAN,
LOCAL 4. MICHIGAN’S GOVERNMENT
WEBSITE HAS A LIST OF EXPERT
WILDLIFE REMOVAL COMPANIES, BUT
AGAIN, THESE ARE PRIVATE PAY
COMPANIES BECAUSE THE DEPARTMENT
OF NATURAL RESOURCES DOES NOT
HAVE THE RESOURCES OR THE
