Big, breaking news overnight. That breaking news this morning, the Senate Passing the most sweeping tax cut plan in decades just hours ago. President trump rejoicing. Garrett haake is on capitol hill with the dramatic overnight developments. Garrett, good morning. Reporter good morning, sheinelle. Senators cast their final votes around 2 00 this morning on the biggest rewrite of the american tax code in more than 30 years. This is a bill that will affect every single american if it becomes law. Thats something thats looking a lot more likely this morning. Days of frantic deal making and fiery debate ending overnight with a celebration by victorious republicans. The tax cuts and jobs act as amended is passed. Reporter in the leadup to the vote, democrats complain they were given just hours to read the 400 plus page final bill packed with late additions, sometimes scribbled in the margins. This is the tax bill. See how thick it is . I want you to take a look at this, folks. This is your government at work. Reporter on the floor, a furious debate. This legislation will go down in history as one of the worst, most unfair pieces of legislation ever passed. This bill is about helping americans for the long term. Its about restoring the american dream. Reporter but the result, a 5149 republican victory, was largely a foregone conclusion after previously undecided senators, jeff flake and Susan Collins, declared their support for the bill on friday. I do believe that this bill will help to promote Economic Growth and the creation of jobs. Reporter bob corker, the only republican to vote against the bill, said phone calls from President Trump and negotiations with Party Leadership could not overcome his concerns about the bills 1. 5 trillion price tag. Is it the kind of situation where you hope that you are wrong about this bill . Absolutely. I want good things for our country. Reporter the next step, the house and senate must hammer out some of the big differences remaining between their bills, including how many tax brackets there should be, when Corporate Tax cuts should take effect and just how generous to make the child care tax credit. One last round of negotiations on a bill republicans believe the American Economy demands and democrats say it cant possibly afford. This bill has been a big priority for President Trump and he congratulated republican senators overnight with a tweet writing we are one step closer to delivering massive tax cuts for working families across america. Special thanks to Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and finance Committee Leader orrin hatch for shepherding our bill through the senate. Look forward to signing a final bill before christmas. How difficult will it be for the house and senate to come to an agreement on the final bill . Reporter make no mistake, its going to be tough, but they have already been working behind the scenes to try to hammer out some of those sticking points. There is a lot of work that congressional leaders have to get done on the hill before the end of the year. This is just one more thing on the plate but they feel the pressure to get it done. Garrett, thank you. Of course the other big story were following this morning, President Trumps former National Security advisor Michael Flynns guilty plea. General flynn admitted that he lied to fbi investigators earlier this year when he was asked about whether he communicated with the russians. The plea deal sending shock waves through washington. This morning still no comment from President Trump about this. Nbcs jeff bennett is at the white house with more on this story. Jeff, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, craig. President trump is this morning set to head back to his hometown of new york city to attend a handful of fundraising events, still maintaining his public silence about that bombshell plea deal involving his former National Security advisor, Michael Flynn. Retired general Michael Flynn, once President Trumps National Security advisor and key confidant, now a convicted felon. Flynn, who had called for Hillary Clinton to be thrown behind bars over her emails damn right. Reporter pleaded guilty friday to willfully and knowingly making false, fictitious and fraudulent statements to the fbi about his contacts with russias former ambassador to the u. S. , sergey kislyak, contacts he had previously denied. Court documents state that on december 22nd a, quote, very Senior Member of the Trump Transition Team directed flynn to contact the russian government and others about a u. N. Resolution on israeli settlements. Sources familiar with the matter tell nbc news that very Senior Member was Jared Kushner, President Trumps soninlaw and senior advisor. A second contact came a week later. Documents show a senior official asked flynn to reach out to kislyak again about the Obama Administration sanctions meant to punish moscow over its election meddling. Nbc news has learned that senior official was k. T. Mcfarland who would later be sworn in as deputy National Security advisor. Flynns plea deal is a gamechanger, marking the first time that special counsel Robert Muellers russia investigation has penetrated trumps inner circle. General flynn, how great is he . Reporter the president , praising flynn just days after firing him. General flynn is a wonderful man. I think hes been treated very, very unfairly by the media. Reporter flynn, now the fourth Trump Campaign official implicated in criminal activity. In a statement flynn says he accepts full responsibility for his actions, adding, quote, my guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the special counsels office reflect a decision i made in the best interests of my family and of our country. White house special counsel ty cobb saying in a statement nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than mr. Flynn. But with flynn now cooperating with prosecutors, white house officials must be left wondering just what flynn will tell the special counsel. So still no word from President Trump on all of this, but one republican source close to the white house says the administration was blindsided by the news of flynns plea deal, craig. Beyond being blindsided, jeff, what is the mood behind you right now . What is the mood at the white house . Reporter publicly you saw that statement from ty cobb trying to create some distance between the president and mike flynn, but another source close to the president tells us this development is very, very bad for the white house, craig. All right, jeff bennett for us this morning at 1600 pennsylvania. Ari melber, good morning to you. Heres the thing. We learned on friday that it was Jared Kushner that directed general flynn to make this initial contact with the russians. They talked about the u. N. Resolution regarding settlements. Then a week later general flynn makes contact, again this time to talk about isis. Why would general flynn lie about these conversations . I think thats what bob mueller is zeroing in on here. The lie is what he pled guilty to. So theres no dispute anymore. Theres no two sides to that story, thats mike flynn agreeing with bob mueller that he lied about this and that was wrong. To your question of why, the implication is there was something worse going on. The other part of this story that bob mueller is telling is that mike flynn didnt act alone. Its always easy to dismiss a single person. The kplication of the report we just saw on the today show this morning is k. T. Mcfarland, Jared Kushner, these other people were speaking. Who were they speaking for . Potentially the president. Trumps attorney, ty cobb, said nothing about this guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than mr. Flynn. Thats technically true but should we assume this case is far from closed . Far from closed. Technically true and highly misleading the statement from mr. Cobb there. The reason is that when you make a cooperating agreement like this, you are explicitly saying to the feds, i have information i will give you on other people. Those are in the documents that we at nbc news have now obtained. So, no, there isnt a new name yet in public, but yes, there is an agreement to give information about other names. In fact bob mueller privately probably already has them. So we know that the president told the fbi director to drop this, to leave to leave Michael Flynn alone. Also word a couple days ago in the New York Times that the president was apparently trying to twist the arms of republicans on the Senate Committee who are investigating russias connection to the election and now this. If it is revealed that it was the president of the United States that did have some knowledge of Michael Flynn contacting russians, does that not then seem obvious to you as obstruction . This is how i will put it and ill put it carefully. There are enough issues swirling around here that are being exposed where even someone inclined to give this president the benefit of the doubt has to start to wonder why was there such an obsession over immediately appeasing russia as a first urgent priority of the transition. And when people started looking into that, why was the president s first impulse not to sort of address it or talk about it or get to the facts, but rather blow up the fbi, ask for a pledge of loyalty, which was happening around the exact same time this came out, and ultimately fire the fbi director, which is under investigation for obstruction. If there was no smoke or mirror there, why did you have people, including the president of the United States, running around saying, god, its so hot in here. As we look forward to the week here, whats next . Whats next is that bob mueller will be working with the former National Security advisor, the threestar general, this man who trump voters have heard over and over and over is a great guy from the president to get all of this information. Then hes going to go back and methodically going to check it all. By the way, the only good news here is if the president really wasnt involved in anything, if this all was maybe at a high level, but not the highest, bob mueller will find that too because his job is not to get anyone in trouble, its to find the facts. If it stops here and not there, then hell find that. That could be good news hell say it went to here, here and were done. But hes going to check every last lead. Good information this morning. Thank you. You sound surprised by that. No, it was a good conversation. In fact let me say this, you can watch aris show weeknights at 6 00 eastern on msnbc. Some other headlines, a former Stanford University swimmer who received what many called a far too lenient sentence for sexually assaulting a woman behind a dumpster is now appealing his conviction. This, even though brock turner, has already served his time behind bars. So why the appeal . Heres nbcs steve patterson. Reporter the highprofile case ignited public outrage across the country. Former Stanford University champion swimmer brock turner set free early after serving just three months for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. This morning, an appeal. Turners legal team now aiming to get his conviction overturned, blaming the media for misrepresenting the facts during the case, leading to Court Proceedings they now call unfair. There has been really a very lengthy and detailed set of lies that has been put out in the press about what type of case this is. We are saying that what happened was not a crime. Reporter the judge drew widespread criticism for his leniency, sentencing turner to just six months in county jail. The max term for the crime, 14 years in state prison. The 21yearold was expelled from school, banned from swimming and forced to register as a lifelong sex offender, returning last year to his home in ohio. Jeff rosen responded to nbc news request for comment saying brock turner received a fair trial and was justly convicted. His conviction will be upheld. Nothing can ever roll back emily doughs legacy of raising the worlds awareness about sexual assault. The appeal is confounding to some legal experts, who claim his attorneys are exposing turner to the possibility of a much harsher sentence at a time of heightened sensitivity surrounding Sexual Misconduct. That is really dangerous for brock turner. No one is sympathetic to a sexual abuser or offender at this time. Reporter looking for another day in court could mean more outrage in the court of public opinion. Also this morning the Justice Department has issued an arrest warrant for the illegal immigrant found not guilty of murder this week in the shooting death of a San Francisco woman. Kate steinles death set off a National Conversation about illegal immigration and why the mexican immigrant wasnt deported earlier. The Justice Department is considering federal charges. An update in the firing of matt lauer. Top executives learned that two other news outlets were working on articles about Sexual Misconduct involving the former today cohost several weeks before an accuser came forward. Executives at the network say they did not find any evidence of complaints against lauer or settlements that might have been reached, and when asked directly about any misconduct, lauer said he, quote, could not think of anything at all. On friday, one executive told nbc news lauer was fired for cause and there would be no settlement. The network has also launched an internal review into the events surrounding his firing as well as new measures to prevent sexual harassment. Some good news if youre flying with American Airlines over the christmas holidays. Overnight the airline reached an agreement with its pilots union to avoid having to cancel thousands of flights.

And former number one champion golfer, tiger woods, back in action today at the hero world challenge, his first pga tour event since his fourth back surgery, also his first since that highprofile arrest for driving under the influence of prescription medications. At one point friday, woods was in the lead. He starts the day five strokes back, and you can watch tiger compete in round three of the hero world challenge later today, 2 30 eastern, right here on nbc. Dylan dreyer, what did you think of tiger yesterday . Its you know, the best golfer in the world, its nice to see him come back. Yeah. He looked he looked like tiger yesterday too. I know. Lets hope his back holds up. Lets talk about the weather, shall we . We have a storm thats making its way into the west coast and thats going to turn into a big weather maker for the pretty much entire country as we go through the week. Not much going on beside some rain up from seattle down to portland and we are looking at the potential of the whole system producing several inches of snow. Up in the mountains we could see difficult travel, especially through the cascades. Up to 14 inches of snow possible in the Sierra Madre Mountains and wind gusts up to 45 Miles Per Hour so that would create blowing snow. Watch how expansive the amount of snow were going to see is. You can see from the west coast all the way through parts of the Northern Plains where we could see 3 to 4 inches of snow, some isolated higher amounts across minnesota but when you factor in gusty winds, that could create very low visibility and the possibility of blizzard conditions because of that reduced visibility. Cold air works in behind this front so any rain changes over to snow. Well see widespread rain from basically the entire east coast by the time we get to tuesday and on the back and around here, well see a much weaker version of that storm arriving later on tonight.

This morning a rossen reports update. A winter fire warning for all of us. Millions of people use portable space heaters to keep warm this winter but officials are sending out new warnings about how dangerous they can be if not used correctly. Today jeff rossen has more, including a dramatic demonstration. Hey, guys, good morning. Space heaters are popular for good reason. Theyre small, theyre cost efficient, and they can keep your family warm. But it turns out so many of us are using them wrong. And in an instant, tragedy can strike. This morning before you turn yours on, we need to show you some video how fast things can go wrong and what you can do right now to protect yourself. It happens in an instant. Oh, my god. I think the house is on fire. Deadly flames raging infernos, all these homes on fire. I got out, the flames were above the trees. Already this season, several tragic incidents. In texas during thanksgiving weekend, four family members killed in this fire and just days ago, this lone puppy survived a fire in oklahoma city. But five other puppies did not survive. In all these cases, space heaters are to blame. In fact according to the National Fire protection association, space heaters are a leading cause of house fires. So how do we stay warm and safe . Jamie novak, a retired fire investigator, shows us lifesaving tips. One, people need to realize that these are small but they draw a lot of electricity. So one, you plug it directly into the wall. And thats a big tip. Plug the heater directly into the wall. He says some people use cheap extension cords to move the heater closer, but many extension cords cant handle that amount of electricity. Just watch when he does it. There you have from a loose connection, the start of fire. Whats the next tip . The next tip is we keep this three feet from anything combustible that will burn. The couch, the end table, anything that will burn. Best to do it in the center of the room. You were telling me as ridiculous as it sounds, people sometimes let blankets fall on top of the heater. Thats right. And this heater is hot enough it can catch it on fire. Then the room is on fire and the house is on the ground. To show us, jamie sets up a real life demonstration inside this real house, which is already being prepared for demolition. We have a team of firefighters standing by. All right. Heater on, blanket on, and well see what happens. Remember, this happens in homes all the time. In just several minutes there we go, we have ignition. And you see how fast these fires can spread. A piece of the blanket fell off and now its burning the rug too. Flames race up the blanket. And look at that, it spread to the couch. Its already hard to breathe in here. Its kicking off serious black both. Now its got the couch on fire, you wont be able to stay in here another two minutes. Suddenly an inferno in our living room. Just like that it flashed over. Lets get out of here. You cant even breathe anymore. Everyone out. Oh, that happened, jamie, so fast. I mean you cant breathe in there. People dont realize how fast the fire takes off and how nasty it gets. I was able to breathe, then i wasnt. It is raging. And heres the scariest part of all. The fire immediately spreads, jumping from room to room. The fire is right here, but let me show you how fast it spread. Look over here, on the other side of the house, its been just a couple of minutes, we already have black smoke coming out here too. This could be your home and its super dangerous. Flames engulf the house, shattering these glass doors as it burns. If this doesnt show you to follow the instructions, i dont know what does. Youre dead if youre in this room right now. All from a space heater. All from a space heater and somebody improperly using it. Now, there are space heaters with an automatic shutoff switch if it gets too hot or is accidentally knocked over, but experts say just dont risk it. Remember the threefoot rule and dont plug them into extension cords. Also plan ahead. Make sure you and your family have a fire escape plan. I cant stress that enough.

I have to say, you seemed a lot chattier on tv. Geico. Proudly serving the military for over 75 years. You ok back there, buddy . Back now on saturday morning with an interesting question. How much would you pay to live in an area where you could ski and take in gorgeous views all day long . Believe it or not, theres actually a place that will pay you to move there. Dylan will explain. We are talking about a swiss town offering that pay newcomers to settle there. The community has dwindled down to 240 residents and Officials Say this move will bring life back to the village. Theyre offering 25,000 per adult and 10,000 for each child. To qualify, here are the rules. You must be younger than 45, a swiss citizen or permanent resident and you have to be willing to build or buy a house that costs at minimum 200,000. You also have to commit to living there for at least a decade. As you can imagine, the offer has a lot of people talking online. One person writing simply, how do i apply . We asked you at home to weigh in. Would you move to a remote Swiss Village for ten years if they paid you 25,000. 63 said no. 37 said yes, theyd move there for 25,000. But doing the math, i mean for ten years, 25,000 per adult. You have to buy a house thats 200,000 minimum. Its not that much. I guess if youre looking for a change in life and dont know where you should go, maybe this is an option. If they have to pay people to move there, i dont know if its that great. Look how beautiful it is. We should take a trip and assess the situation. See what it looks like. That sounds like a wonderful assignment. Thank you, dylan. Lets talk to the boss.

Happy birthday and a good morning good saturday morning. Welcome back. What a fantastic crowd we have with us here on the plaza this first saturday of december. This is a holiday crowd. Its a holiday crowd, but you know what i appreciate . A lot of signs that they made in advance. You guys planned out these trips. We love a quality sign. Wheres the woman that this that glitter is going to be following you around for weeks. Thats a beautiful sign. Thank you guys for coming. What do you think of our tree, by the way . What do you think of the tree . What are they going to say . It is pretty great. We have a lot to get to in this final half hour, but lets begin with todays news. Im Garrett Haake on capitol hill where senators cast their final votes around 2 00 this morning on the biggest rewrite of the u. S. Tax code in more than 30 years. This is a bill that will affect every single american if it becomes law, and thats looking a lot more likely this morning. Days of frantic deal making and fiery debate ending overnight with a celebration by victorious republicans. The tax cuts and jobs act as amended is passed. Reporter in the leadup to the vote, democrats complained they were given just hours to read the 400plus page final bill, packed with late additions, sometimes scribbled in the margins. This is the tax bill. See how thick it is . I want you to take a look at this, folks. This is your government at work. Reporter on the floor, a furious debate. This legislation will go down in history as one of the worst, most unfair pieces of legislation ever passed. This bill is about helping americans for the long term. Its about restoring the american dream. Reporter but the result, a 5149 republican victory was largely a foregone conclusion after previously undecided senators jeff flake and Susan Collins declared their support for the bill on friday. I do believe that this bill will help to promote Economic Growth and the creation of jobs. Bob corker, the only republican to vote against the bill, said phone calls from President Trump and negotiations with Party Leadership could not overcome his concerns about the bills 1. 5 trillion price tag. Is it the kind of situation where you hope that you are wrong about this bill . Absolutely. I want good things for our country. Reporter the next step, the house and senate must hammer out some of the big differences remaining between these bills, including how many tax brackets there should be, when Corporate Tax cuts should take effect, and just how generous to make the child care tax credit. One last round of associations on a bill republicans believe the American Economy demands and democrats say it cant possibly afford. This bill has been a major pry o priority for the president and he tweed about it with a bit of hyperbole. Biggest tax bill and tax cuts in history just passed in the senate. Now these great republicans will be going to final passage. Thank you to house and Senate Republicans for your hard work and commitment. The president would like to see this bill on his desk by christmas. Thats ambitious, but Republican Leaders are committed to trying to get it done. Sheinelle and craig, back to you. That would be his first major legislative victory. Garrett haake, thank you. Another developing story this morning, fallout after former National Security advisor Michael Flynn pleaded guilty on friday to lying to the fbi when he was asked earlier this year about whether he communicated with the russians. The president still isnt commenting on the plea deal. Jeff bennett is at the white house this morning with more. Jeff, good morning. Reporter good morning, sheinelle. President trump so far isnt talking about, isnt tweeting about that bombshell plea deal involving his former National Security advisor, Michael Flynn. A development, by the way, that marks a major milestone in special counsel Robert Muellers russia investigation. Retired general Michael Flynn, once President Trumps National Security advisor and key confidant, now a convicted felon. Flynn, who had called for Hillary Clinton to be thrown behind bars over her emails damn right. Reporter pleaded guilty friday to willfully and knowingly making false, fictitious and fraudulent statements for the fbi about his contacts with russias former ambassador to the u. S. , sergey kislyak, contacts he had previously denied. Court documents state that on december 22nd, a, quote, very Senior Member of the Trump Transition Team directed flynn to contact the russian government and others about a u. N. Resolution on israeli settlements. Sources familiar with the matter tell nbc news that very Senior Member was Jared Kushner. President trumps soninlaw and senior advisor. A second contact came a week later. Documents show a senior official asked flynn to reach out to kislyak again about the Obama Administration sanctions meant to punish moscow over its election meddling. Nbc news has learned that senior official was k. T. Mcfarland, who would later be sworn in as deputy National Security advisor. Flynns plea deal is a gamechanger, marking the first time that special counsel Robert Muellers russia investigation has penetrated trumps inner circle. General flynn, how great is he . Reporter the president , praising flynn just days after firing him. General flynn is a wonderful man. I think hes been treated very, very unfairly by the media. Reporter flynn, now the fourth Trump Campaign official implicated in criminal activity. In a statement, flynn says he accepts full responsibility for his actions. Adding, quote, my guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the special counsels office reflect a decision i made in the best interests of my family and of our country. And so the president this morning, sheinelle, is heading to new york city to attend a few fundraisers. The white house says President Trump is not focused so much on flynn, more so on the gop tax plan. The president s lawyer, ty cobb, issued a statement trying to downplay the impact of flynns plea deal saying that nothing about it implicates anyone other than Michael Flynn. Jeff bennett, thank you. Now to some more of this mornings headlines. The Justice Department has issued an arrest warrant for the illegal immigrant who was acquitted of murder in the shooting death of a San Francisco woman. Kate steinles death set off a National Conversation about illegal immigration and why the mexican immigrant was not deported earlier. Of the Justice Department is now considering federal charges.

Police say that gun matched the murder weapon used in all four shootings over the last two months. Howell donaldson iii is charged with four counts of firstdegree murder. The manager just wanted to do the right thing. A team of doctors in texas have achieved a medical milestone delivering the first baby to be born in the United States to a mother with a transplanted uterus. The mother gave birth to the baby at Baylor University Medical Center in dallas.
