49 completely on its head. The driver of that red car making a splitsecond decision. I either had to hit the cars that were turned over, hit the car that was spinning out in front of me or come down this ravine. And i chose the ravine.

All right, a messy night still ahead. Gio, thank you. As i mentioned a new storm already brewing for later in the week, but first things first, Rob Marciano Live tonight with us on the current system. Where is it now, rob . Reporter well, its an uncomfortable mess, thats for sure, but a huge system, david, stretching all the way from the Gulf Of Mexico to maine. You see here on the radar, the
most dangerous area right now is the pink, and its north of i84, to i90, throughout much of Upstate New York and massachusetts and new england. It does get out of here by the morning rush, but it will be below freezing, so, certainly some slick spots. Heres our next system. Advisories up from montana to michigan. The snow reaching in through the plains by friday morning. Its in milwaukee and chicago. Friday afternoon, detroit, cleveland. A swath of three to five inches of snow. Were certainly in an active pattern. David . Rob marciano with us tonight, as well. Thanks, as always, rob. Were going to turn next to the political storm of sorts in washington, In The West Wing. A senior white house official now planning to resign after published allegations of abuse. Staff secretary rob porter, a close aide to the president , announcing his resignation. Porter is currently in a relationship with White House Communications director hope hicks, but its what allegedly happened before thats now making headlines tonight, after two of his exwives came forward with those allegations. Heres abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega tonight. Reporter he is one of President Trumps top aides. A trusted adviser from day one. I think that was a personal decision that rob made and one that he was not pressured to do reporter porters first wife tells the intercept, he would lay on top of me, shaking me, or rubbing an elbow or knee into me. He graduated to choking me, not ever hard enough to make me pass out or, frankly, to leave marks. But it was frightening and dehumanizing. Porters second wife, jenny willoughby, tells the intercept, he came to the shower and grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me out of the shower to continue arguing. After an incident in 2010, willoughby filed for a protective order, telling authorities, he punched in the glass on the door. I called the police, afraid he would break in. The allegations seeming to catch many In The West Wing by surprise. Does the president have any concerns about these Domestic Violence allegations raised against rob porter . I havent spoken to him about specific concerns. Reporter you havent talked to the president about this about whether or not he has specific concerns, i havent asked him that question. Reporter has he seen the photos of rob porters exwife with a black eye . Reporter defying President Trumps threat of a Government Shutdown, democrats and republicans today achieved something washington hasnt seen in ages, a bipartisan agreement to fund the government for two years. This budget deal is the first real sprout of bipartisanship. I hope we can build on this bipartisan momentum. Reporter the deal includes billions for opioid treatment, Disaster Relief and infrastructure. And a big boost in defense spending. What it doesnt include . Funding for the president s bortbort border wall. Just yesterday, the president emphatically called for a Government Shutdown if he didnt get that money. Lets have a shutdown. Well do a shutdown. Id love to see a shutdown. Without borders, we dont have a country. So, would i shut it down over this issue . Yes. Reporter but from the white house today, an apparent aboutface. The president now endorsing the senate deal that makes no promise whatsoever about the wall. Can you clarify the president yesterday said that he would like to shut the government down
if he doesnt get funding for the wall, border security. Is what he said yesterday now no longer operative . Ah, look, as i said yesterday, the focus for us has always been to get a twoyear budget deal. Weve made no secret, the president wants funding for the wall, and he wants border security, and we expect to see that reflected in the budget. Reporter but he said he wanted to shut the government down if he didnt get it. Now thats no longer operative, is that no longer the position . No, the position hasnt changed. Weve laid out exactly what we want to happen. Reporter while the White House Position is less than crystal clear, Defense Secretary Mattis Today was definitive. If there was a decision to shut the government down because, for example, the wall wasnt funded in this deal, how bad would that be to the military . Shutting down the government would be very damaging to the military. It just paralyzes everything that we do, if we go into that. All right, jon karl also with us live tonight from the white house. And jon, President Trump just tweeting that he supports this budget deal, but it still faces some opposition in the house tonight, doesnt it . Reporter it sure does. First of all, House Conservatives hate this agreement, because it includes massive spending increases. And nancy pelosi today broke the record for the longest speech on the house floor in history, more than eight hours, taking issue with the agreement, because it does not include protection for the dreamers, those undocumented immigrants brought into this country as young children. Ultimately, the odds are this will pass, but negotiations on that broader immigration deal, david, seem to be going nowhere, at least for now. All right, to be continued on that front. Jon karl, thanks. Meantime, the president facing questions from both sides of the aisle tonight for something that will cost taxpayers millions. The president once saying it could go down Pennsylvania Avenue a Military Parade. President trump calling for the parade after witnessing frances Bastille Day Parade during his visit there, saying, we have to top them. Heres abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz tonight. Reporter enthralled by what he called one of the greatest parades hed ever seen, with soldiers and tanks rolling down the champselysee on bastille day, donald trump has made no secret of his desire for his own massive Military Parade. So, were actually thinking about fourth of july, Pennsylvania Avenue, having a really great parade to show our military strength. Reporter the date is not set, but the white house has now made the ask official. I think were all aware in this country of the president s affection and respect for the military. Weve been putting together some options. Reporter but if it is like the one in france or, say, russia or north korea, it will involve lots of Military Hardware and money. I dont mind a Military Parade to honor those who have served and their families. I have no desire to go to the soviet hardware display. To me, thats cheesy and weak. Reporter while the president has paid several visits to troops, hes yet to visit the 21,000 Service Members deployed in afghanistan, iraq and syria. Sarah sanders was asked about that today. Look, i think there are a lot of different ways. Nothing has been decided or locked in stone. Martha raddatz live with us tonight. And martha, whats the reaction this evening from veterans groups about the idea of the president s parade . Reporter well, david, while some veterans organizations support any recognition of the military, numerous combat veterans say, at a time where they are already stretched thin, this is just not what they need, nor the image they want to project, david. All right, martha, thank you. Meantime, secretary of state Rex Tillerson tonight warning that russia is already trying to influence the midterm elections, and that the u. S.
