First into the midwest, where wind chills on thursday morning will be 22 belown minneapolis. 19 below in chicago. Then the core of that cold air gets into the northeast on friday morning, with wind chills minus 5 in new york, minus 14 in boston. This could be the coldest december air weve seen in decades.

In the meantime, we move onto now to president elect donald trump. A fierce war of wos, Intelligence Community when it comes to Russian Hackers. And whether they tried to disrupt americas election. Abcs tom llamas in washington. Reporter tonight, Republican Leaders in Congress Breaking with president elect trump, announcing they will investigate whether russia used hackers to try and influence the election, something trump doesnt believe happ happened, even though the director of National Intelligence said it did. They have no idea if its russia or china or somebody. It could be somebody sitting in a bed some place. Reporter today, trump tweeting, unless you catch hackers in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking. Why wasnt this brought up before the election . But it was. In october, 17 American Government intelligence agencies, including the cia, released this rare statement, saying, the u. S. Intelligence community is confident that the russian government directed the recent compromises of emails. You know, i think it speaks for itself. Reporter trump still refusing to believe it. It could be russia. It i dont really think it is, but who knows . Reporter the president elect also disputing reports the cia believes russias goal was to hurt Hillary Clinton and help trump get elected. I think its ridiculous. I think its just another executiexcus excuse. I dont believe it. Reporter today, a much different take from the white house on mr. Trump. He called on russia to hack Hillary Clinton. So, he certainly had a pretty good sense of whose side this was coming down on. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Reporter the new focus on russia comes with trump poised to name exxon Ceo Rex Tillerson secretary of state, whose ties to russian president Vladimir Putin go back decades. Ive known him since 1999, and i have a very close relationship with him. Reporter on gma, trump Senior AdviserKellyanne Conway tried to downplay tillersons russian connection. Its not like hes pounding down vodka with putin in a local bar. Reporter maybe not vodka shots, but this video shows a champagne toast. Putin personally awarding tillerson russias order of friendship, an honor the country gives to foreigners. Over the weekend, republican senator marco rubio tweeting, being a friend of vladimir is not an attribute i am hoping for from a secretary of state. And tom llamas joins us now from washington. Tom, weve heard very little from Hillary Clinton about this election, but we heard from her Campaign Team on these new headlines involving Russian Hackers today. Reporter david, there is a small group of electors that is asking about information. And john podesta said, electors have a responsibility under the constitution, and we should support their efforts to have their questions addressed. Now, the Clinton Campaign knows that theres no mechanism brief these electors, but it is a very aggressive stance tonight, david. Tom llamas in washington. Tom, thank you. That controversy over russian hacking swirling with the inauguration just 39 days away now. With the president elect saying hes not convinced by the intelligence gathered by the u. S. , including the cia, what will his relationship with them be like . And how many Intelligence Briefings has mr. Trump sat in for so far . With the answer, heres abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross tonight. Reporter its been an essential white house fixture for decades, but donald trump now says he will not need the cias daily president ial briefing once in office. And as president elect, hes only received four of them. You know, im like, a smart person. I dont have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years. Reporter it is one more slap in the face for the 21,000 people who work for the cia. I think it would be devastating to hear that the out of the agency. Reporter it follows trumps efforts to publicly discredit the cia over what its saying about russia. Theyre fighting among themselves. Theyre not sure. Reporter tonight, a Senior Intelligence official tells abc news, hes dispaurjing and insulting every analyst currently in the Intelligence Community working hard to protect the united states. Forced to choose today between the cia and trump and russia the russians are not our friend. Reporter the Top Senate Republican backed the cia. I have the highest confidence in the Intelligence Community, and especially the Central Intelligence agency.

I thought about going to, like, a black festival or Something Like that but they got security and stuff and you got to wait for the day. You cant do it whenever youre ready. Reporter he explained to the fbi agents that hes a white nationalist, and couldnt care less about black lives. Do you have any remorse . I think its too soon. Reporter jurors learned today that roof should have never been able to buy the gun. Surveillance videos show him going and coming from a gun store in april, a whole two months before the killings.
