had any political involvement in the nfl's handling of both kaepernick andlayer protests. this after it was revealed the president spoke directly with several team owners about protests during the national anthem. it's all part of kaepernick's lawsuit against the league, accusing the nfl of colluding to keep him out of the game after he began kneeling during the anthem. an nfl spokesperson told cnn the league has no comment on the report. >>> for the first time since 2001, an american woman not named williams will compete in the french open finals. after sloane stephens, the 2017 u.s. open champ bested american madison keys on thursday. that sets her up to face off against the number one player in the world, simona halep. >>> still to come, pressure mounts regarding scott pruitt. has he overstayed his welcome. or thinnest longest lasting blades on the market. precision machinery and high quality materials from around the world. nobody else even comes close. it's about delivering a more comfortable shave, every time. invented in boston. made and sold around the world. order

trump and the former 49ers grievance case against the nfl. kpix 5 reporter jackie ward tells us who else these lawyers might be pursuing. >>reporter: president trump, vice president mike pence at any other person who may know of trumps so-called agenda against nfl players who protest up like. that's who colin capper nick's team of lawyers plan to go after, according to yahoo sports. if they get what they want, it would force trump to testify under oath. since capper nick is a free agent, the former quarterbacks lawyer wants to know if trump pressured league owners about the protest. the president has been a vocal opponent of players taking a knee during the national anthem. the last -- last fall, the former cornerback file the case for collusion saying he is prevented from playing football because of his protest, not his football skills. he took the knee starting at the beginning of a -- protesting what he said is the racial inequalities of america. it, others joined him. soon, the nfl -- requires players to stand for the anthem, or force the

yahoo sports says kaepernick's attorneys want to find out what president trump said. kaepernick was the first nfl player to protest police violence and racial injustice. he has not played for an nfl team since he left the 49ers in march of last year. he is suing the owners, claiming they colluded i not signing him to a contract. some 600 people were at eight s.w.a.t. party to watch the game on a movie screen. the snack bar is open and tickets are just five dollars. >> you go to the game. it's cheaper. that's why i like it here. >> seeing it on a big screen, it makes it so you can see everything. and then the kids get to run around. >> the theater also played trivia games, with prizes, which were donated by the team. it's hosting another watch party for game four tomorrow night. the warriors are hosting their own watch party at oracle arena picket tickets for that event at oracle are $20 per some of the money raised goes to the warriors community foundation. >>> a lot of talk about the warriors. the oakland a's are back in the bay area after hosting the royals tonight.

the reason why he might have an opportunity here, according to yahoo! when broke this news, is that they want to look into the administration's political involvement with the nfl, that's not necessarily an outlandish thought. we know several team owners talked directly with trump. about these protests. there were phone calls between trump and a number of nfl owners. so that raises a question of whether trump also weighed in on kaepernick. this might seem far fetched, but this is not the only case we see someone trying to subpoena the president, this is really interesting because kaepernick has been essentially shut out of the nfl. he wants to know why. he wants to make this -- this has become a political matter because the president has used the kneeling protest to his advantage so he's going after it. >> see where this goes. thank you. >>> coming up for us, a disturbing medical mystery moves to china. some u.s. diplomats there now heading home for health screenings after concerns of reports of mysterious incidents similar to the cuba sonic attacks. new

yahoo news reporting his teal team wants to subpoena president trump in a case against the nfl. his lawyers want to force the president into that on going legal battle between kaepernick and the league. you probably know that kaepernick was really at the forefront of the controversy surrounding players kneeling during the national anthem. he was the first player to do so. if the president is subpoenaed, this would aim to get the president to say he had some sort of an agenda siding with the nfl. it's going to be really hard to do and the president would likely refuse to do so. >>> at least one american city taking aim at uber and lyft, taking a big step to put limits on surge pricing. >> the city is honolulu, the first in the u.s. to do this. uber is responding. matt keller live in san jose this morning. >> reporter: good morning. so many people take uber or lyft to get here to the san jose airport. the more customers, the more likely you'll see surge pricing. should there be a cap on how high your fares can go. honolulu could be the first city in the u.s. with that limitation.
