Philadelphia-area lawmakers didn’t waste time Monday adding their voices to the growing choir of outrage after former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was indicted on 12 charges related to the Russia probe.

“Today’s indictments make clear the very serious nature of this investigation,” Democratic Sen. Bob Casey said. “I continue to support bipartisan legislative efforts to protect Special Counsel Mueller’s independent investigation. Russia attacked our democracy and anyone that aided that effort must be held fully accountable.”

A deputy campaign official, Rick Gates, and a third member of President Donald Trump's campaign were also singled out Monday.

Gates is facing 12 charges in an alleged money-laundering and influence-peddling scheme involving the government of Ukraine and conspiracy against the United States.

Meanwhile, special counsel Robert Mueller unveiled a guilty plea by former Trump foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos. He pleaded guilty on Oct. 5 to one count of lying to FBI agents about the nature of his interactions with "foreign nationals" who he thought had close connections to senior Russian government officials.

“We have a system of justice in this country where we presume innocence until proven guilty,” Delaware Sen. Tom Carper said. “These indictments ... paint a dark picture of the people who ascended to top roles in the Trump campaign. The American people deserve the truth.”

Delaware Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester echoed the call for an independent investigation.

“The charges today underscore the importance of protecting our democracy against foreign entities and preventing people in power from using their positions against the interests of the United States,” she said.

Republicans largely chose not to discuss the indictment.

On social media, top conservative lawmakers posted about deregulation, tax reform and federal judges, but there was barely a whisper about Manafort. House Speaker Paul Ryan reportedly told a Wisconsin radio station: "Nothing is going to derail what we're doing in Congress."

NBC10 reached out to six local Republicans and the GOP parties of both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Only Sen. Pat Toomey and State Rep. Charlie Dent responded - both declined to comment.

Hackers are out to get identities, passwords and personal information for their gain. What can you do to prevent that from happening to you?

The easy answer is to not join social media or online dating sites in the first place. But since the majority of adults now have profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and beyond, going rogue might not be so easy.

Matt Barnett of BTB Security suggests doing a simple internet search with your name and seeing what comes up. Next, do some basic tidying. Consider making your Facebook profile private, un-follow questionable accounts on Instagram and add yourself to the national Do Not Call registry.

From there, decide what goes and what stays. Ready to permanently delete your Instagram account? Check this out. Don’t want to be found via White Pages? Remove yourself by clicking here.

Once everything is nice and tidy, maintaining a low profile means rethinking how you use social media including not hitting the “Like” button.

“Even if your profile is private, the user posting the content you “Like” may not be. Searching through posts and images you “Like” may be a way to build a profile about your hobbies, interests, political views/affiliations, etc. Some court cases have even allowed these “Like”s to be introduced into evidence or used to bias jurors in civil cases. Think before you click!” Barnett said.

Also, don’t allow yourself to be tagged in pictures and posts and turn on privacy settings on your phone. Otherwise, geotagging will store information about where a photo was taken, including your exact location, the time, who was with you and so on.

An armed robbery led to a shootout between police and a suspect at the King of Prussia Mall, Saturday. The suspect was reported to have returned a second day to carry out a second crime.

The hunt is on for a driver who fled the scene after running into a teen girl, her mother and their dog in West Pikeland Township Friday.

Annie Hillegas, 16, was walking her dog with her mother Friday shortly before 5 p.m. on the 1900 block of Art School Road. As they were walking a few yards off the road, a white pickup truck drove toward them. Hillegas’ mother yelled for them to get out of the way but it was too late. The truck struck the teen girl, running her over, as well as her mother and their dog. The driver then continued southbound on Art School Road into West Vincent Township.

A neighbor spotted the mother and daughter injured on the road and called 911. Hillegas suffered cracked ribs and broken bones in the crash. She was taken to the hospital where she is in critical condition. Her mother and dog suffered minor injuries.

The hit-and-run vehicle is described as a white contractor-type pickup truck with a ladder in the back and red lettering on the side. Police have not released a detailed description of the driver, only saying he’s a white male.

As Hillegas continues to fight for her life while police search for the hit-and-run driver, the teen’s loved ones are hoping he’s brought to justice.

“I’d love to have 15 minutes alone with the driver,” said Gwen Hillegas, the teen’s grandmother. “Because I’ll tell you, I’m a tough old lady and he’d regret it.”

Loved ones are mourning a retired postal worker and great-grandfather who was found beaten to death in the backseat of his car outside a middle school in Delaware County.

On Oct. 24 at 4:08 a.m., a police officer found a black Chrysler 300 parked on the 100 block of Summit Street in front of Penn Wood Middle School in Darby, Pennsylvania. The officer then discovered the body of 57-year-old Brad Hayes of Clifton Heights in the backseat of the vehicle.

Hayes was taken to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Investigators say Hayes suffered several injuries though police are waiting on the Medical Examiner’s Office to determine the cause of death.

Hayes was last seen alive with his family in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the Eagles Monday Night Football game.

Police obtained surveillance videos of two men who they say are persons of interest in Hayes’ murder. One video shows an unidentified man beating Hayes outside his black Chrysler and then putting him in the backseat where he continues to beat him, police said.

Another video shows the two persons of interest meeting each other and fleeing the scene through streets and alleyways, according to investigators. Police have not released a description of the two men however.

"He didn't pick up strangers," Hayes' widow Vanessa Hayes told NBC10. "So I think whoever did this knew him."

Hayes' family describes him as a loving husband and father of five, grandfather of four and great-grandfather of two. He recently retired from the U.S. postal service where he met Vanessa.

[[454204693, C]]

"We're just distraught behind this," Vanessa Hayes said while in tears. "Totally distraught."

Vanessa and Brad bought their dream home four months ago. Yet for Vanessa, the house now feels empty with her husband no longer there and the people responsible for his death still on the loose.

"We need some closure," she said. "We need to find out who did this and bring them to justice."

If you have any information on Hayes' death, please call Darby Borough Police at 610-586-1100 or 911.

Staring down the barrel of a gun, a man fought for his life and managed to turn the tables against an armed robber in North Philadelphia, even after being shot in the thigh.

"Five Nineteen will always be a time I will always remember," Jason Hines told NBC10.

It was 5:19 a.m. on Oct. 9 when Hines, 34, was walking on the 1700 block of Page Street, heading to a bus for work. Suddenly he was approached by an unidentified man who asked him to use his cellphone. When Hines told him he was going to the bus, the man lifted his shirt, pulled out a handgun, pointed it at him and said, “Give me all you got.”

“He said, ‘Stop f@#$*%$ playing with me and put the passcode in,’” Hines said. “I said, ‘I don’t know it.’ He said, ‘One.’ Click. Click. ‘Two.’ And it’s at my face now. And now I’m straight down the barrel of the gun.”

The robber then struck Hines twice in the head with his gun.

“After he smacked me with the gun twice, I was just holding my head like, ‘I don’t know my code. I don’t know my code,’” Hines said.

But Hines says the robber continued to threaten him, telling him he would kill him if he didn’t put in his password for his cellphone. 

Hines said the robber then tried forcing him into a nearby alley. Believing he would never come out of it alive if he walked into the alleyway, Hines decided to fight rather than accept his fate. Hines then punched the robber and wrestled both his gun and a screwdriver he was holding away. As the two struggled over the weapon, the gun went off and a bullet went through Hines’ thigh. Yet despite his injury, Hines’ survival instinct continued to kick in.

“I fell into his face,” Hines said. “So I started biting him. And I got a hold of his mouth and I just shook it like I was a pit bull. And he let the gun go.”

In a wild turn of events, the robber began to beg Hines for his life. Even after being shot and nearly killed by him, Hines decided to show mercy.

“He’s like, ‘Please don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me,’” Hines said. “I’m like, ‘I’m not going to kill you. I’m not that type. But you just tried to kill me.'”

Hines said he then let the robber go. The robber then fled the scene. With a gunshot wound to his thigh and a gun and screwdriver in his hands, Hines hobbled down the street, looking for help. He then ran into a Temple University student who contacted police. Hines was taken to the hospital and placed in stable condition. He was later released. Today he continues to recover, thankful that he’s still alive.

The suspect is described as a dark skinned black male in his mid-20s standing approximately 5-foot-6 and weighing approximately 150 pounds with short hair. He was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, white t-shirt, dark-colored jeans and sneakers.

If you have any information on his whereabouts, please call 911 or 215-686-8477. You can also text a tip to PPD TIP or 773847.

Russian-Backed Election Content Reached 126M Americans: Major tech companies plan to tell Congress Tuesday that they have found additional evidence of Russian  activity on their services surrounding the 2016 U.S. election. Facebook, for instance, says a Russian group posted more than 80,000 times on its service during and after the election, potentially reaching as many as 126 million users. The company plans to disclose these numbers to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the testimony. Twitter plans to tell the same committee that it has uncovered and shut down 2,752 accounts linked to the same group, Russia's Internet Research Agency, which is known for promoting pro-Russian government positions. That number is nearly 14 times larger than the number of accounts Twitter handed over to congressional committees three weeks ago, according to a person familiar with the matter. And Google announced in a blog post that it found evidence of "limited" misuse of its services by the Russian group, as well as some YouTube channels that were likely backed by Russian agents.
