What she says happened that night when they offered to drive her home. Dancing in the moonlight and swept up by the super moon. The only full one of 2017 enchanting millions overnight soaring over the uk spotted near that erupting bali volcano, and the amazing footage here at home. When to see the next one if you missed it. Dancing in the moonlight good morning, america. That song will put you in a good mood this monday morning, and how about that supermoon last night . So gorgeous. Well, couldnt really see it here in new york city because of all the fog we had but in buffalo, heres what it looked like. Thats a statue of liberty replica, okay. Its not just a super moon. Its also known as a full cold moon because, of course, it appeared in december. Just had to say the word cold. Well, speaking of cold we want to start with that blast of bitter cold thats moving across the country. Its dropping temperatures as much as 20 to 30 degrees in some places and its the beginning of a good onetwo winter punch that could bring blizzard conditions and ginger has been tracking it, and is going to tell us when and where it could all hit. Good morning, ginger. High, good morning to you michael. Already started in the Pacific Northwest up to 18 inches of snow. This is Snoqualmie Pass, washington. Theyve been getting hit hard this winter but look where its going to move. Blizzard warnings in both south and north dakota, parts of minnesota and those high Wind Warnings up through wisconsin. Thats for up to 55mileperhour gusts. You take that, you add this arctic air. It is going to feel with wind chills by tomorrow morning, like zero in bismarck, 4 in minneapolis, and watch as it pushes east. Chicago only feels like 13. By thursday morning and it will get here to the northeast and be chilling out as we head friday into saturday. Chill out doesnt sound as good. When you say it like that, but ill have much more on where it goes, and how long the bitter cold sticks around. Seems like youre fighting a little bit of a cold yourself. I woke up like this. You woke up like this. All right, ginger, thank you. She will, of course, track the system all morning long for us. Were going to turn now to the russia investigation and new questions this morning about what former National Security adviser, Michael Flynns, plea deal with the special counsel will mean for President Trump. The president attacking the fbi on twitter over the weekend, our senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has more and joins us from washington. Good morning, pierre. Reporter robin, good morning. Flynns guilty plea and pledge to cooperate with the special counsel is creating intense drama here in washington with many wondering what hes going to say and who if anyone he might implicate. The president this weekend took aim at the fbi calling its reputation in tatters setting the stage for potentially more confrontation as this case unfolds. Lock him up. Lock him up. Reporter the critical question, will the stunning guilty plea of former National Security adviser and nowconvicted felon Michael Flynn reach further into the white house . What were going to see is the putting together of obstruction of justice. Reporter even some republicans say flynns admitting to lying with contacts with russia in an agreement to cooperate with prosecutors means the story is far from over. Flynn lied and they destroyed his life. I think its a shame. Reporter but even the republicans saying flynn is admitting to lying about russia, and he is committing to cooperate so it wont be long before this is over. It wont be long before we understand one way or the other whether the trump people colluded with russia. I cant imagine it happening and flynn not know about it. Reporter President Trump defiant that in his campaign, he did not work with the frem lykrn the election. Theres been absolutely no collusion so were very happy. Reporter this tweet from saturday is setting off a firestorm of speculation. Quote, i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the fbi. The president s critics saying he was admitting that he knew flynn had lied to the fbi before he allegedly asked the then fbi director james comey to go easy on flynn. But President Trumps attorney john dowd said he wrote the tweet and that it was not meant to convey President Trump knew that flynn lied to the fbi. The president later tweeting, i never asked comey to stop investigating flynn. Flynn now faces hours of additional fbi questioning in the coming months, subject to lie detector tests along the way to prove hes telling the truth, robin. And over the weekend, there was a bit of back and forth between comey and trump. Reporter yeah. It got heated. President trump called comey a liar over the weekend in a tweet and comey pushed back praising the fbis professionalism and using social media to, quote, scripture, basically saying that justice is coming, and that the truth will be revealed. All right, pierre. Thank you. More on this from our chief White House Correspondent jon karl, our chief legal analyst dan abrams as well and jon, let me begin with you. As we saw in the piece, Dianne Feinstein and others seeing mueller may be building the Building Blocks sparking a new argument from President Trumps legal team. Yeah. This is quite an argument. It comes from the president s top personal lawyer, john dowd. He says basically the president cannot be guilty of obstruction of justice. Heres the quote first in axios, the president cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief Law Enforcement officer under article two and has every right to express his view of any case. Now, george, there has been a longstanding legal debate over whether or not a sitting president can be indicted but, remember, in the impeachment articles drafted for president nixon and in the impeachment article that was passed against president clinton, both had obstruction of justice as an essential charge. This is why it raises so many eyebrows, dan. There is an argument to be made that if the only allegation with regard to obstruction is firing comey, thats not enough. Meaning that its the president s authority to fire someone who works for him in essence, and as a result, you cant charge him with obstruction just because of that but i think if there is an obstruction case here to be made its going to be a puzzle and that comey firing is just going to be one piece of it and i think the most important thing, of course, to remember what jonathan points out, which is a sitting be the may not be indicted there is very serious argument, a sitting president cant be indicted. Coming in wake of the flynn plea deal friday and another argument from the trumps legal team over the weekend, jay sekulow saying collusion also wouldnt be a crime so certainly seems like theyre concerned about things coming. We all agree collusion is not a crime. Right . Its a question of is there a conspiracy to commit a crime . Just semantics. People talking about collusion, this is an investigation into russias interference in the United States election in 2016. And the question is, did anyone involved with the trump team conspire to commit a crime or commit a crime in connection with that. Or then cover it up. Right, or cover it up. To say collusion is not a crime and obstruction is not a crime these seem to be somewhat tangential. Did. Jon, in the meantime, were also hearing from billy bush, oped in the New York Times over the weekend talking about that access Hollywood Tape saying, of course, it was President Trump. Reporter yeah, he is saying two things, first of all, this is an accurate and legitimate tape, that is the president , that is what he said but hes also saying that at the time he thought the president was simply putting what he called a standup act, but now based on what he has seen in terms of the accusations that many women have made against the president of sexual misconduct, that he believes those women. Okay, jon karl, dan abrams, thanks very much. All right, george. Meanwhile, President Trump is one step closer to a big victory. He and his fellow republicans are celebrating the Senate Passing that sweeping tax reform bill. Now it goes to the house and the stakes, of course, are very high here. Lets go to our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce on capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. That latenight vote was a big victory for the senate, but this isnt over yet. Democrats this morning are still fuming over the way this vote went down. They say it was rushed through. That there were illegible scribbles in the margin of the bill, and they didnt even have time to read it. This represents the biggest change to the nations tax code in 30 years and includes some big tax cuts, but analysts say most of the longterm benefits will go to the wealthy and now republicans have to work out the significant differences between the house and the Senate Versions like how soon to cut the Corporate Tax rate, whether or not to include a repeal of the obamacare individual mandate and differences over breaks for small businesses, and there are still Big Questions about how theyll pay for all of this. The Senate Version of the bill is projected to add 1 trillion to the debt. Now, republicans insist this bill will pay for itself through economic growth, but economists overwhelmingly disagree saying the deficit is likely to take a big hit. There is a lot of disagreement there and in the midst of it republicans have to find a way to fund the government by friday or theres a government shutdown. What are the chances of that . Reporter republicans seem to be confident that that is not going to happen. Mitch mcconnell says point blank there will not be a shutdown. Now, nothing is set in stone here. Never is, but with republicans it does seem likely theyll pass a shortterm spending bill giving them more time to fight over hot button issues like immigration and Childrens Health insurance and, of course, giving them more time to hash out tax reform and republicans ive talked with are confident they can get this tax reform bill to the president s desk by christmas. All right, mary. Thank you. Robin, thank you. With that tax bill being passed over the weekend, everyone is wondering, if that tax bill becomes law, how will it affect your bottom line . Abcs Rebecca Jarvis is here to break it down for us. Good morning, rebecca. Good morning, michael. This depends on how much money you make and how you pay those taxes. These changes would take effect january 1st, 2018. Youll see the difference pretty quickly, about a year from march or april, one of the biggest impacts for middle class americans is the senate plan increases the standard deduction from 6,350 to 12,000 for individuals and from 12,700 to 24,000 for couples. Which means if youre someone who takes that standard deduction and more than twothirds of americans do, you will likely see some tax savings. Plus, if you are a parent, the bill expands the Child Tax Credit from 1,000 to 2,000, michael. Lets break it down in real numbers. What kind of savings are we really talking about . The real numbers are what is so key. Lets say you make 40,000 a year. The majority of people in your tax bracket will see some sort of tax cut, on average about 330 in 2019, but about 5 of those people will see their taxes rise. Now if you make 55,775, that is the medium Household Income in the United States right now. Again, the majority in your bracket will get a cut on average 812 in 2019, but in this group, 11 will see their taxes recognize, and lower and middle income americans could also see their taxes rise over the longterm because according to the cbo, many of these most generous tax cuts like the increased standard deduction and double standard deductichild de, those expire, michael, in 2025. You mentioned actually some will see their taxes go up. Thats right. Who are those people . So those who itemize, about a third of americans do, they could see their tax bills increase, for example, those who are deducting Major Medical expenses not covered by insurance, people in high tax states like california, new york and connecticut and finally, michael, people who could pay more are those who get larger benefits because of their children. So if you dont have children, you actually dont benefit as much from this new tax plan. Rebecca, thank you. A lot to break down. Yes. It is. Lets break down the political fallout with matthew dowd, meghan mccain, let me begin with you. Right now the bill is pretty unpopular, but republicans calculated they just could not afford to go home without a big win this year. Yeah, this is a a big legislative win, the most significant one for the Trump Administration thus far, and this is something to take home to your constituents. I came on the show saying i think it will be a hard pass. I dont see how we can do this especially after the failure of the Obamacare Repeal and replacement. But we do have something to run on. I think democrats will turn this into an impeachment election and now going home we can say, look, we ended up passing something. Democrats, though, matt dowd, said they want to run on the tax bill as well saying its going to be a giveaway to the wealthy. Many in the middle class will get a tax increase. Well, yeah, when you look at this tax bill, 70 of the benefits of this tax bill go to the very wealthy, the top 1 or 2 of the country like an alternative version of dickens a Christmas Carol where scrooge doesnt listen to jacob marley and the three ghosts of the christmas past and proceeds op his way. This may be a legislative victory but its not a political victory. Its an unpopular bill, most unpopular tax bill ever passed. Pushed by an unpopular president. Passed by an unpopular congress. It is a great benefit for the democrats to run on this in 2018. Meantime, matt, seeing the president tweeting this morning his most explicit endorsement yet for roy moore, the Alabama Senate candidate who is up for election next tuesday. This is an amazing situation, george, where, one, you had the Mitch Mcconnell this weekend basically say its up to alabama after he said he shouldnt serve. Now the president a full on endorsement of a man accused of being a Child Predator in the state of alabama. This is a situation where the republicans may win this seat. Its still very competitive. But they may win this seat but they will lose the war in the long run because in the party and in the country today this is going to brand them as a party that is not in the benefit of women in this country. Yeah, meghan, when i was talking to Mitch Mcconnell on this week he backed away saying its up to the voters of alabama to decide and would not commit to ordering an investigation. This could be a longterm problem. Oh, this is no matter win or lose and i believe that roy moore is going to win. Its going to be a lose lose situation for republicans. What fascinates me all the polling coming out showing that a large majority of alabama Republican Voters dont believe the medias take on roy moore. Which i think goes to show just about, you know, the complete and total lack of trust of the media, and the coverage of this, and i have been trying to explain it, and its not even about roy moore anymore. Its about people judging alabamans and i think Going Forward i have personal friends living in birmingham talked to over the weekend struggling with this saying ive never not voted in this election. What am i supposed to do . Do they believe the women . The woman, my friend, does but still, cant somehow bring herself to vote for someone who is prochoice. Meghan mccain and matthew dowd, thanks very much. George, now to what could be the biggest Health Insurance deal in history. Cvs, the massive drugstore chain, has agreed to buy Health Insurance titan, aetna. For 69 billion. Abcs Adrienne Bankert is here with details. Good morning, adrienne. Reporter good morning to you, too, robin. This could be one of the greatest Game Changers in the industry in the midst of major transition. Cvs is looking to stay ahead of that game with its 10,000 locations nigationwide. They say theyre trying to position themselves as a onestop shop not only for those who need to pick up a prescription but need to see a doctor. This is coming at a time where were seeing a rise in urgent care clinics as well as emedicine, and as you mentioned, that 69 billion merger the leadership is saying its a way to stay competitive. Cvs ceo is saying they hope to remake the health care Customer Experience less expensive and easier for people. But just think. Youre already coming to these stores already for quick, convenience items, Grocery Store items, maybe a greeting card, a roll of paper towels. Now you might be able to see a doctor, as well. Not everybody thinks its a good deal for the customer. Reporter thats right. In fact, it could limit the customer if youre forced to go only to those cvs locations. It could be less convenient, and some cr
