widespread voter fraud in terms of the 2020 election, despite what the president has been putting out. that is certainly significant because the attorney general is seen as someone who is typically in lockstep with the president. but as you mentioned, things are moving along, especially here in willington delaware is the president elect and his administration are trying to fill out who will be on his economic team. attorney general william barr is breaking with president trump saying in an interview with the associated press that the justice department has not uncovered any evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 election. the trump campaign immediately responded. saint "with all due respect to the attorney general there has not been any a semblance of the department of justice investigation." it came on the same day joe biden announced key members of his economic team. >> this team will always be there for you and your

year. but senator mitch mcconnell says he wants to pass a targeted relief bill instead.>> we just don't have time to waste. we have a couple of weeks left here. obviously it does require bipartisan support to get out of the congress but requires a presidential signature. >> the biggest impediment to get an agreement is the republican leader if using to negotiate in a bipartisan way. >> despite that, stocks were up today following encouraging vaccine news. still ahead on kpix 5, streaming on cbsn bay area, drastic cuts in store for beauty.>> the deficit growing monthly. the outlook over the next two years is abysmal and the man that runs that agencies has only one thing can save it and it has nothing to do with california. back to the epicenter. what will hunt china looks like

let's take a live look right now from our tower cameras to the bay bridge. the future of muni is at stake, drastic cuts could be coming as the agency tries to survive the pandemic. as wilson walker reports, that could mean layoffs for more than 1000 workers.>> reporter:

the sf mta started meeting today at 1:00 this afternoon and are still speaking as we speak to you right now. that meeting has been going on all day. and the main thrust of that is an update from director jeffrey tomlin who is briefing directors and what the budget looks like over the next two years and it is not pretty. over 2021 and 2022 the agency is looking at a deficit of some 230+ million dollars. they've been trying to find new ways to move money around, repurpose existing funds and tap into reserve but none of it will be enough. the deficit is going to be there and one potential outcome is laying off as many as 1200 mta employees. the majority would be bus drivers, mechanics, engineers and the like. the people the agency has been describing a sort of their front line responders during this pandemic. the mayor spoke about this

crisis during her briefing today. she called the muni crisis a potential roadblock to the city's recovery as a whole.>> closing this deficit may require laying off between 18 and 22% of mtas workforce. we are facing the gutting of the basic citi service that our residents rely on and our economy needs to recover.>> it was kind of expected with the way things are going. hopefully with the vaccine and stuff it will turn around at some point.>> the director was asked, what could help, what could prevent the number of worst-case scenarios muni is looking at and he had one answer. that is the senate runoff elections that are going to occur in georgia. the idea being that a democratic congress along with president-elect joe biden could be the ones who would lay out a

funding rescue for transit agencies across the country that are struggling just as badly as muni. worth pointing out that muni is in no way a unique case. a transit agency just dying under mounting debt during the pandemic. so what is the one savior? it would be washington, and that is going to require a democratic congress in the minds of the people who are running muni right now. so a bailout from washington is really the only legitimate lifeline they are looking at. otherwise it will be a long, slow margin to 2021 with the probability of layoffs, as many as 1200 people could lose their jobs. if things do not work out. right now oakland police are looking for the gunmen who opened fired on to chp officers. those officers luckily were not

hurt. the east bay times is reporting the officer tried to stop a car for speeding on interstate 580 at about 2 am. the suspects fled and then started shooting back at the officers on 98th avenue and lawler. they crashed nearby on seneca street and took off on foot. oakland police and crimestoppers are offering a $10,000 reward. in germany a car plowed into a group of people in a pedestrian zone, killing five, including a nine-month-old baby girl and her father. this is in the southwestern part of germany. clothes and belongings still left behind on the street. at least 15 others were also hurt. officers arrested the driver of the car. police say he has no police record but his background shows an indication of political motivation. today marks one year since symptoms of the new coronavirus were detected in will hunt china. we know what happened next.
