Reporter good morning, erica. People are buzzing about Hillary Clintons email issue this morning. Not exactly the headline the Clinton Campaign wants to see two days before the Iowa Caucuses.

Reporter hillary and bill clinton back together friday night trying to seal the deal here in iowa. Thank you, davenport. Reporter this comes as the state Department Released 1,600 emails from her private server as secretary of state. This time holding 22 documents as top secret. State Department Officials weighed in on friday. None of this traffic was marked classified at the time it was sent. Reporter the Clinton Campaign is calling on the state department to make the emails public. This is an example of overclassification run amok. Reporter Nbcs Lester Holt interviewed secretary clinton shortly before the news broke. Why should the public worry about this hanging over your head . There was never any information sent or received marked classified to me. Reporter despite making an issue of the emails. The people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. Reporter the campaign has yet to escape the controversy and this could hurt for mondays caucuses. She is running neck and neck with sanders in iowa, who friday night, focused on rallying his supporters. I believe it is our campaign that is generating the excitement and the interest for a large voter turnout. Reporter at the drake diner in des moines, voters had opinion. Does this Hillary Clinton email matter . Yes. I feel it is a skeleton in the closet. I dont think it will have that big an effect. Reporter in a Statement Released late last night, sanders again reiterated he is not interested in the email issue. He is interested in the issues that matter to voters. Both candidates cross the state today. Eight events between them. One, secretary clinton will be joined by Gabby Giffords. Erica, back to you. Kristen, thanks. The gop candidates wasted little time reacting to the clinton news. Nbcs Hallie Jackson has more. Reporter good morning. This time the candidates are getting ready for a dozen events in the final countdown to the caucuses, the last big push. Taking aim not only at each other, but across the aisle at Hillary Clinton. The favorite target on the campaign trail, facing new fire from the gop rivals. Hillary clinton is disqualified. Disqualified from being commander in chief. Reporter marco rubio calling the latest news about the email release unacceptable. Maybe she thinks shes above the law or maybe she wanted to read the stuff on her blackberry and have that convenient. Hillary clinton on her email server had 22 top secret emails. Well, that actually is an accurate statement. This is getting more and more serious. Reporter Clintons Campaign spokesperson on defense. We know that these emails that they were not marked classified at the time they were sent or received. Reporter republicans quick to pounce. Donald trump tweeting the email release is a disaster and slamming what he calls clintons bad judgment. Saving his hardest hits for republican rival. Ted cruz may not be a u. S. Citizen, but hes an anchor baby. He is an anchor baby. Ted cruz is an anchor baby in canada. Reporter cruz laughing it off in iowa. Senator, trump called you an anchor baby today. Any response to that . Just laughter is what you take away from it . I like donald and hes welcome to say whatever he likes. I like and respect him. Thats all i got to say. Right now, it is up to the voters to decide. Reporter the two iowa frontrunners. We will do well in iowa. Reporter just a weekend away from the caucuses. I am having a fantastic time. We have 77 hours to go. Reporter the final push to the finish line. Cruz striking a bit of a different tone over the last 24 hours out on the campaign trail. Backing off some of the unprompted attacks against donald trump. Marco rubio, meanwhile, also out holding rallies today hoping for a strong third place finish here guys, hoping to pick up momentum after the debate thursday night. Hallie jackson in iowa. Thank you. Mark halperin is with us. Gentlemen, good morning. They join us from iowa. Good morning, erica. Lets start off with the emails. Mark, i know you were saying yesterday on morning joe there is a lot of chatter among fbi agents. What are you hearing could come down the line . Well, look, what is going on with secretary clinton is involving not just her, but staff. We know the people at the fbi and Justice Department are looking at it not as a criminal investigation, but question whether because of the private server, she handled everything correctly. This disclosure will heighten the sense that the fbi will have to interview members of her staff and secretary clinton. It doesnt mean she will be indicted, but from a political point of view it is she is called to talk to the fbi, while fighting for the presidency, it will happen into concerns that kristen welkers piece that it does matter to voters. John, is this something we are talking about or is this something that voters in iowa or voters in New Hampshire or voters in south carolina, is this something voters talking about right now . Is this resonating on the campaign trail . Not very much at all. It never has over the course of the last year, we have never heard a lot of concern. A lot of concern on republican voters, but not democratic voters. This issue will not have much effect for Hillary Clinton to be the democratic nominee. It may spur fear on the democratic establishment that Hillary Clinton could be vulnerable on the general election. If she gets there, the republicans will make a lot of hay with in the fall. And on the ground in iowa, donald trump is defying any stereotype the way anything is done traditionally in politics. The question is can the numbers we see in the polls and terms of people at the rallies translate into votes. What is your sense . Will they come out to caucus in bigger numbers, mark . This is the moment when donald trump needs to go from as you suggested from the unorthodox candidate to an orthodox candidate. He needs caucus and people to come to the rallies and turn out to the caucuses. Good to remind people. This is not a normal primary that people are used to. You have to vote several hours on monday night and go to a particular location at a particular time. Trumps team is not inexperienced. They know caucuses are different. He has a lot of iowans who have done this in the past. We will see on monday. My sense is they know exactly how big the stakes are. If his operation does perform in iowa, he will be in a commanding position for the nomination. I believe at least in part his operation will work. This will not be a collapse. It could be a powerful force pal legal to the force he has been. Mark and john in the Hawkeye State saturday morning. Thank you. We have you covered at the caucuses. We will be live on monday. One of the inmates who escaped from the california jail last week is behind bars this morning after turning himself in on friday.

For today, miguel almaguer, nbc news, santa ana, california. As the number of zika cases continues to rise in the United States, the scientists are learning more about the effects. The cases here are all from folks who traveled to one of the affected countries. We have rehema ellis with us this morning where the virus has hit hard. Reporter good morning, craig. Here in brazil, authorities are working hard to stop the spread of the zika virus. Going doortodoor to educate people on how to protect themselves. Months ago, many expectant mothers had no idea the threat to their unborn babies. When this baby was born two months ago, his family immediately knew something was different. The youngest of three children, he was diagnosed with microcephaly. He is one of 4,000 babies born with the disease since october. The children have an abnormally small head. The disease effects every aspects of the childs mental and physical development and possibly life span. What did doctors tell you about his development . His mother says she doesnt know if he will ever walk or talk. For babies with microcephaly, there is no treatment for cure. The family takes it one day at a time.

The virus is now present in at least 24 countries and territories. The cdc is keeping a close watch on the presence of the virus in the u. S. We have not seen viruses like zika spread widely here simply because people have screens in their houses and air conditioning. We dont have the level of crowding in the places where zika is spreading widely. Reporter the struggles are hard on the whole family. Including his grandfather, fernando. Fernando tells us that while his grandsons future is uncertain, one thing is for sure, he will always be loved.

Still the cdc says its staying on top of this and working closely with world health authorities. Craig. Rehema ellis for us in brazil. Thank you. Dr. Natalie azar is here to answer some of our questions. This is keeping you busy, i know, this week. Is this zika carrying mosquito here in the United States . We have the zika carrying mosquito in the United States in the gulf coast and southern United States and Southern California. We have yet to have a domestically or locally transmitted viral mosquito bite. To our knowledge, these here are not infected with zika. If you are exposed to the zika virus, not pregnant, but would like to try to conceive, how long do you have to wait . We believe the virus stays in the body for a few days to up to a week. Intuitively, if you have been exposed or travel to an area where zika virus is exposed and you return, you want to w 40s, i believe. Why has there not been a vaccine created in 70 years . The first documented outbreak in 2007. Then in polynesia. The thing with the diseases, craig, the outbreaks are sporadic and unpredictable. There is not a lot of attention paid to the viruses that seem innocuous. Now an emergency meeting with the World Health Organization. The goal according to dr. Chan is threefold. You want to make sure you have the appropriate amount of international concern. We want to say is this an International Health threat or not . You want all of the resources going to the right places and prioritize which countries need what. Thats the basis of the meeting. Okay. Dr. Natalie azar, thank you.
