ST. PETERSBURG A treadmill at the LA Fitness at 5900 Fourth St. N caught fire overnight and caused minor fire and water damage to the gym, according to St. Petersburg Fire Rescue.

The treadmill caught fire for unknown reasons around 11 p.m. Wednesday night, said St. Petersburg Fire Rescue Lt. Steve Lawrence. The last employee had already left for the night.

The fire was discovered by an employee when they showed up for work around 5 a.m. Thursday. Two treadmills were destroyed, a window suffered minor damage and soot had spread throughout the building. The gym was also doused in water released by the automatic sprinkler system that was activated during the fire.

The damage left the gym closed Thursday. Lawrence said the LA Fitness was being cleaned up and it should be open again in two to three days.

The sprinklers likely saved the gym from more extensive damage, he said.

"The fire suppression system did do its job," he said. "It was limited fire damage. The water damage can be cleaned up."

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says she's concerned about President Donald Trump's "fitness for office" and says he needs more sleep. (June 9) AP

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday that President Trump "needs sleep" and she is "worried about his fitness" for office.

The California Democratmade the comments at her weekly news conference in response to questions from reporters about Trump's tweets firing back at former FBI James Comey for Comey's testimony Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Pelosisaid no one at the White House appears to be "brave enough" to tell the president that his tweets are "beneath the dignity of the office you serve."

She also wondered about Trump's fitness for office.

"The president's fitness for office is something that has been called into question," she said. "I'm very worried about his fitness."

She said she doesn't know if anyone in the White House "has the courage" to try to make Trump be more disciplined about his actions and tweets.

"It's too bad because he needs work, and he needs sleep," Pelosi said.

Trump, who had refrained from tweeting during Comey's testimony Thursday,tweeted Friday that Comey vindicated him and accused the former director of improperly leaking details of their discussions. Trump abruptly fired Comey on May 9 in the midst of the FBI's investigation of Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential elections and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

"Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!" Trump tweeted.

Pelosi said Comey's testimony made it clear that Trump engaged in an abuse of power.

"I think he abused power," she said. "Whether he obstructed justice remains for the facts to come forward."

The Democratic leader also said the president'streatment of Comey mirrors how Trump behaved as a businessman. She said business leaders in New York who dealt with Trump in the past told her that Trump's pattern in trying to make a deal is to start off trying to charm his opponents, then threaten them if charm doesn't work, then walk away from the table if threats don't work, then sue them.

Two officials familiar with Trump's legal strategy said his lawyersplanto file a complaint aboutComey's leak with the Inspector General's office at the Department of Justice, and with the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence committees. The officials were not permitted to speak publicly about legal matters still under consideration.

Comey testified Thursday that he had leaked to the press, through a friend, memos describing his talks with Trump, saying he hoped the stories would spur the appointment of a special counsel to takeover the investigation of the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia. A special counsel, Robert Mueller, was appointed last month.

Nancy Pelosi: Trump 'needs sleep' and she's 'worried' about his fitness - USA TODAY

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is questioning President Trumps fitness to hold his office.

The House minority leader saidFridaythat Trump may simply lack the curiosity, discipline and stamina to be a competent commander in chief. TrumpsFridayTwitter attack on former FBI Director James Comey, Pelosi said, is just the latest evidence.

The presidents fitness for office is something that has been called into question, Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol. It takes a certain curiosity to learn the facts, to base your comments on evidence and data and truth. It takes a certain discipline to be able to prioritize what is important as we try to bring the country together. And it takes some kind of stamina to keep your thoughts together.

And Im very worried about his fitness.

His statements need some discipline, and I dont know if anyone in the White House has the courage to discipline the president, she said. Its too bad because he needs work. And he needs sleep.

Comeys testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee captivated Washingtonon Thursday by providing his take on one-on-one conversations with the president.

The former FBI director said he took the president at his word that he had been fired for his handling of the investigation into Russias meddling in the election, including possible links to Trumps campaign. He also said he believed Trump had directed him to end an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Comey stopped short of accusing Trump of obstructing justice, saying that determination is the purview of the current investigative team, being led by special counsel Robert Mueller, Comeys predecessor atop the FBI.

Thats a conclusion Im sure the special counsel will work towards, he said.

Trump remained silent throughoutThursdayshearing, but returned to TwitterFridaymorning with accusations that Comey had lied under oath.

Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindicationand WOW, Comey is a leaker! Trump tweeted.

Comey also acknowledged in his testimony that he leaked through an intermediary his memo on a meeting with Trump that included the discussion about Flynn. That became an explosive story in The New York Times a week after his firing.

Pelosi rejected any suggestion that Comeys testimony vindicated the president. But Trumps approach to Comey, she quickly added, is consistent with his strategy as a longtime businessman.

He operates this way: First he tries to charm you. If that doesnt work, he tries to bully you. If that doesnt work, he walks away from the deal. And if that doesnt work, he sues you, she said.

According to CNN, Trumps outside attorney is poised to file a complaint with the Justice Department against Comey over the leak.

Hes true to form, true to his nature, Pelosi said.

Pelosi said Trump had acted deliberately to clear the room after a meeting before talking with Comey.

He knew that what he was doing was incriminating, and he didnt want any witnesses, she said.

But like Comey, Pelosi stopped short of charging Trump with obstructing justice. Trump has abused power, she said, but the deeper legal implications are still unclear.

Theres no question he abused power, she said. Whether he obstructed justice remains for the facts to come forward, and thats what we want are the facts.

Pelosi amplified Democrats long-held request that GOP leaders create an outside, independent panel akin to the 9/11 commission to step in with its own investigation of Russias election meddling.

We are limited, she said, by what the Republicans are willing to do.

Diem Browns birthday was celebrated just how she would have wanted it.

Diem loved working out, jumping around to music and spending time with friends, which is exactly what we did last night, her sister Megan told Page Six of Monday nights fundraiser at New Yorks Rumble Boxing.

The vibe was just amazing and really just so Diem, she added of the sold-out event, held in honor of what would have been Diems 37th birthday on June 12.

Diem, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 22, passed away in November 2014 at the age of 34. Parts of her health battle was captured on MTV cameras during her time on reality shows including MTVs Real World/Road Rules Challenge.

This weeks fitness event raised approximately $7,000 for MedGift, a foundation started by the reality star that acts as a wish list for patients and families going through illness or trauma, Megan explained. Tickets ranged from $100 to $500 and attendees were a mix of family, friends and people who worked with Diem through MTV or MedGift.

It was incredible, Rumble Boxing instructor Noah Neiman told us. We went from feeling the loss and sadness and used that as a tool to be positive and to be stronger and work harder because thats what Diem would have wanted and thats what I saw throughout the class.

Neiman, who led the class, knew Diem for about six years during his time as a trainer at Barrys Bootcamp. He said she would take back-to-back classes before heading to chemotherapy. She was like the true definition of a fighter If you didnt know her, you wouldnt have known she was going through this, he said.

During the event, he shared stories of his time working with Diem and played one of her favorite songs, Heart of the Champion, to close out the class.

Landlord plans to terminate lease to make way for redevelopment

Downtown Bethesda gym Fitness First will close at the end of this month.

The fitness clubs president announced the closing to members in an email Monday.

The gym at 7900 Wisconsin Ave. will shut its doors June 30 to make way for expected redevelopment. Developer JBG Companies, the landlord of the property, has long planned a 17-story, 475-unit apartment building at the site.

Fitness First originally planned to remain in its location until its lease expired in 2019 and even looked at expanding in the same building. However, Peter Harvey, president of Fitness First, wrote that the gym was informed last week JBG would end the lease sooner.

We received formal notification from JBG, that they intend on terminating our lease to commence their redevelopment efforts, Harvey wrote in an email to members. It is no longer financially feasible to continue to fight their efforts to redevelop sooner, and so we are sad to announce the closing.

The redevelopment project received preliminary approval from the Montgomery County Planning Board in 2013 before the developer put the project on hold in 2015.

The closing marks the end of an era for a local gym chain. Fitness First, which was founded in Silver Spring, was acquired by Golds Gym in 2013 and 17 of its 18 locations were sold to the fitness company. The Bethesda gym is its last remaining location. The last group classes and child care sessions will be held Sunday.

This is a sad time for all of us here at Fitness First, as it is the final chapter for our company, Harvey wrote.

Collision occurred near Greenwich Park

The following crimes were reported to Montgomery County or Rockville police from May 15 to 23
