From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. Good evening. Wells fargo, one of the nations largest banks, is in serious trouble tonight, admitting that for years it signed is up customers for credit cards and Online BankingServices Without their knowledge, even creating fake email addresses for enrollment. The company says it has fired thousands of employees who were involved in the scheme, but its admission raises worrisome questions about the banks culture. Tonight regulators are hitting wells fargo with massive fines. Tom costello starts us off with what customers should know. Reporter it was fraud on a scale that matched the size and influence of the Worlds Largest bank. Wells fargo employees opened roughly 1. 5 Million Bank Accounts and applied for more than half a million credit cards that in many cases the customers never requested or agreed to. Thousands of employees were in on it motivated, say regulators, by higher compensation for generating new business. Money might be moved from your account into some of these accounts without your knowledge. That might have cost you fees, late fees, rewards fees, overdraft charges and the like. Reporter now wells fargo has been hit with 185 million in total fines. Including the biggest ever by the Consumer Financial protection bureau. It was the city of los angeles that originally sued wells fargo. Now wells is paying l. A. 50 million in fines. If i were a consumer in this case, i would be outraged if my bank opened an account for me using my personal data and never told me. Reporter today wells fargo told nbc news it has fired 5300 employees over the past five years. In a statement saying, we regret and take responsibility for any instances where customers may have received a product that they did not request. The takeaway for all Bank Customers . Regardless of where you bank, wells fargo or any other bank, you need to really monitor your bank account, watch for unauthorized transfers and unauthorized withdrawals from your account or payments that you have not authorized. Reporter tonight wells tells me it will refund an average of 25 to every affected customer. It says its already identified those people and will put that money automatically in their account, no action required. We asked wells fargo do they have a problem with ethics or training at their bank. They insist no, but they concede some managers were among the employees fired. Lester . Tom costello. Tom, thank you. To president ial politics now. And donald trump under fire for several comments he made last night in our nbc news commander in chief forum. Including what he claims happened in his classified Intelligence Briefings. Hillary clinton coming out swinging on that front, but also playing defense herself. We have it all covered for you starting with nbcs hallie jackson. I was opposed to the war from the beginning. Reporter clinging to his claim he never wanted the iraq war, donald trump at his education speech trying to school his audience after this last night. I was totally against the war in iraq. Reporter but theres no evidence trump opposed from it the start. Here he is before the war began. Are you for invading iraq . Yeah, i guess so. Reporter for trump, more fallout after just 24 minutes in our forum, multiple controversies. Like this comment about intelligence officials who vently briefed him. I am pretty good with the body language. I could tell they were not happy our leaders did not follow what they were recommending. Reporter juan zarate participated in Intelligence Briefings under george w. Bush. I find it hard to believe that the body language of the briefers was revealing policy discomfort in part because the analysts job is not to even worry about that. Its to lay out the analysis. Reporter tonight two intelligence officials briefed on what went on inside the room tell nbc news at one of trumps briefings retired general mike flynn interrupted repeatedly and governor Chris Christie intervened. Governor christie saying thats categorically false. General flynn calling the report, quote, total b. S. Telling nbc news, these are anonymous sources, and theyre lying. Trump also under fire for this praise of russian president Vladimir Putin. In that system hes been a leader far more than our president has been a leader. Reporter gop senator Lindsey Graham late today. I think this is the piggest miscalculation since people thought hitler was a good guy. Reporter on u. S. Military leadership, trump calling the nations generals reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point where its embarrassing for our country. Trump critics will say his performance was not specific, it wasnt serious. His supporters will say this is the real trump. The real trump is caught up in a lot of holes. Reporter but his controversies, trump closing in. Hallie jackson, nbc news, new york. This is andrea mitchell. Hillary clinton didnt even wait to board her plane this morning to blast donald trump for saying Vladimir Putin is a better leader than president obama. That is not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our country as well as to our commander in chief, it is scary. Reporter and trump saying he would have left troops in iraq to seize their oil. We dont send our brave men and women around the world to steal oil. Reporter clinton also explaining this new shot at trump, saying isis was rooting for trump to win, telling Israeli Television they are saying, oh, please, allah, make trump president of america. Reporter that had paul ryan firing away. Thats fearmongering. Thats dem ma golic scare tactics. Reporter clinton today saying she was citing this article from matt olsen, former cia counterterrorism head. That is a gift for isis. And thats what matt olsen, who knows more about this than the republicans trying to somehow muddy the waters, very clearly stated. Reporter later in north carolina, continuing her takedown of trump. What would Ronald Reagan say about a republican nominee who attacks americas generals and heaps praise on russias president . Reporter the email still giving her the biggest headache. House democrats releasing Colin Powells message telling her how he skirted the rules for his emails. Although clinton told the fbi she did not take powells advice. Her behavior an issue for this veteran last night. Had i communicated this information not following prescribed protocols, i would have been prosecuted and imprisoned. I communicated about classified material on a wholly separate system. I took it very seriously. Reporter clinton also explaining her promise last night never to deploy Ground Troops to iraq or syria meant large forces not the troops already there. Tomorrow she meets with bipartisan experts on defeating isis. Lester . Andrea mitchell, thank you. Among those closely watching our forum last night, a panel of voters nbc news has pulled together in the key battleground state of ohio. Were following them from now until election day as they decide how to cast their votes. Theyre comprised of various ages and political affiliations. And we invited them to watch together along with nbcs katy tur and kristen welker. And many were unimpressed with the candidates answers. Now the first part in our new series we the people, battleground ohio. Who thought donald trump looked like a commander in chief tonight . Just one. Who thought Hillary Clinton looked more like a commander in chief tonight . So still a lot of undecideds. We are not putting Ground Troops into iraq ever again. That seems to be her response militarily, tactically, strategically. Ive been in the military, and i cant see her to make a blanket statement. Isis cannot be beat without Ground Troops. Look how many years weve been fighting them now. And the battle against isis, do you think that Hillary Clinton is better suited to fight it than donald trump . She is very knowledgeable about the region, and his approach of saying, well, i do have my ideas, but i cant tell anybody or im going to have generals come up in 30 days with a suggestion, is not president ial at all. Do you think that you can trust him to listen to the generals when they disagree with him . I think i can. I believe that hes demonstrated that with his own company. He knows how to distant fi good people and put them in the right places. What did you make of Donald Trumps comments, his tweets . 26,000 unreported Sexual Assaults in the military. Only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men and women together . I grew up military. Before anybody throws a rock at me, no, i dont think all women are fit for all jobs within the military. Is a Sexual Assault right on any level . Absolutely not. What was your reaction . I thought it was disgusting. Theyre going to enter into a relationship when theyre put together, and thats fine. But this is really different between a a sex relationship and a Sexual Assault. Did you hear anything tonight that made you less concerned about secretary clintons use of a private email server . No. Its hard to trust her on the email issue after shes changed her story so many times. One word to describe donald trump . And one word to describe Hillary Clinton . Donald trump, unorthodox. Hillary clinton, staged . Donald trump, incorrigible. Hillary clinton, questionable. Donald trump, difficult. Hillary clinton, better. Im extremely worried about the future of this country and very disappointed that out of 330 million people, these are our two leading candidates. A sampling of ohio voters weighing in tonight. Now to the moment on Live Television this morning that left so many stunned including the hosts themselves. Governor gary johnson, the libertarian candidate for president , who is hoping to be an alternative for voters unsatisfied by clinton and trump, was asked a question about a major humanitarian crisis that has dominated News Headlines for years now. It was johnsons response that caught everyone off guard. Heres nbcs peter alexander. Governor, good to have you with us. Reporter before this moment on msnbc today, the question most people were likely asking, who is gary johnson. What would you do if you were elected about aleppo . About . Aleppo. And what is aleppo . Youre kidding. No. Aleppo is in syria. Its the its the epicenter of the refugee cries. Okay. Got it. Reporter a stunning political stumble for the former new mexico governor and Libertarian Party president ial nominee. The video immediately going viral with the what is aleppo. On twitter, dear gary johnson, this is aleppo. Johnson responded online. Im human, adding, i blanked. It happens. Appearing soon after on the view. No excuse. I was thinking in terms of acronym, aleppo. I think its a disqualifying statement, frankly. Fair enough. Johnsons flub couldnt have come at a worse time. He needs 15 support nationwide to squeeze on to the debate stage. Right now polls have him just below 10. Yesterday mitt romney pushed for him. And today a member of the commission on president ial debates, mitch daniels, gave him a pass. Is a moment like this in effect disqualifying . If we were going to disqualify candidates for one comment theyd like to have back, it would be a small debate. At least now Everybody Knows johnsons name. Peter alexander, new york.
