Bonds formed with my producers. Today, saturday, march 4th, 2017. [ cheers and applause ] married 45 years ago today hi to my brandnew grandson mikey, in rochester, new york. One more thing off the bucket list. Hi, from st. Croix, u. S. Virgin islands. Congratulations, craig. Happy 40th little brother. Retired after 32 years of service, so we came to new york my favorite part of the morning, good morning to you, welcome back to today on this saturday morning. It is a very chilly one here in the northeast. Temperatures dropping to the teens today. Thats more than 50 degrees colder than earlier in the week. Thats not stopping our friends from the plaza to waving to everyone back home. Were going to get there in a moment. Well have more on the cold weather as well. Before we bundle up and head out. Lets start with the breaking news, President Trump up early with a series of shocking tweets, accusing former president obama of wiretapping trump tower. Nbcs kasie hunt is following it all. Good morning to you. Craig, sheinelle, good morning, this set of explosive new allegations, President Trump over the course of about half an hour this morning, tweeting six times the russia investigation into Trump Campaign and aides, and potential contacts with the russians, clearly on his mind. He first tweeted terrible just found out that obama had my wires tapped at trump tower just before the victory. Nothing found this is mccarthyism. Then he again tweets how low has president obama gone . To tapping phones during the very sacred election process, this is nixon watergate. Now nbc news has reached out to former Obama Administration officials to try to get more details on what they have to say. And President Trump often reacts to reports in conservative media outlets. So were trying to take a look at that. There was a conservative radio host who focused on this issue during his show. And on fox news last night, brett baier asked House Speaker paul ryan about whether there were socalled fisa warrants granted to allow the government to look at communications in trump tower. There was New York Times reporting around this. The House Speaker said that he wasnt sure about anything along those lines. Although of course we should note that the speaker does get highlevel intelligence and is often careful about what he reveals in public. But the New York Times at one point did report that they, the government officials were allowed to look at a server that was in trump tower. At this point, no definitive reporting on any wiretapping of phones or listening in on conversations. Obviously we are looking into this as much as possible. And its all taking place as the house and Senate Intelligence committees are both investigating what happened between the Trump Campaign and any potential contacts with the russians. And we know that democrats, particularly are increasingly frustrated that the fbi has not given them more information about any investigation that they may be doing into these contacts. The top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee saying that he only knows a fraction of what the fbi knows about this. So again, this very rapidly developing story just this morning, craig, sheinelle, an explosive twist here. West palm beach, kasie hunt, thank you. Lets turn to the dangerously cold weather gripping the east coast. Indra is here with more. Right now its freezing, im sure you guys can see my breath it feels like 11 degrees in new york city.
