Federal investigators heading to the scene this morning. And the spaceship. An exclusive First Look Inside Apples massive and multibillion dollar new headquarters. You have never seen an office park like this one today, tuesday, may 16, 2017. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Welcome to today on a Tuesday Morning. Wouldnt you feel better about your cubicle if it was in an s office like that. The roof is literally falling down here. We have a lot of news to get this. This story at the top, outrage in washington and beyond over these reports that President Trump may have revealed highly classified information during his Oval Office Meeting with russian officials. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are demanding answers. Theres been a denial from the Trump Administration. But it only raises more questions. We have complete coverage. We will start with peter alexander. Peter, good morning. Reporter good morning to you. This story still developing this morning. The president is reaching out to some of americas antiisis allies, egypt last night, the king of jordan this morning. All of it following that bombshell Washington Post report that the president effectively went off script with two senior russian officials describing details of an isis threat related to Laptop Computers on planes. This morning the russian government is denying that mr. Trump revealed anything classified. This is the Oval Office Meeting where President Trump reportedly shared highly protected information with russias foreign minister and its ambassador last week. Sparking an immediate backlash from capitol hill. I dont know if its accurate or not. Its disturbing. Lets find out what the details are, whether it happened. Reporter as first reported by the Washington Post, the president revealed classified secrets about an isis terror threat. Passed along to the officials from russia, one of americas a. Potentially jeopardizing a critical source of intelligence on isis. The post reporting President Trump bragged about his knowledge of the isis threat saying, i get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day. Later summing up that information saying, can you believe the world we live in today,ed ai ed adding, isnt it . The white house trying to downplay the story. The story is false. Reporter the denial delivered by h. R. Mcmaster lasted less than a minute. At no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed. And the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publically known. I was in the room. It didnt happen. Reporter that didnt specifically address what the post reported. Including the detail that after mr. Trumps meeting senior white house officials quickly tried to contain the fallout, calling both the cia and the National Security agency. The episode even more striking given mr. Trumps criticism of Hillary Clintons handling of classified information during the campaign. I dont think its safe to have Hillary Clinton be briefed on National Security. Because the word will get out. We cant have someone in the oval office who doesnt understand the meaning of the word confidential or classified. Reporter democrats quick to pounce. Arguing the president s actions are dangerous and reckless. Another adding, if true, its a slap in the face to the Intelligence Community. This is sloppy and he can correct it. But we have to know more about it. Reporte reporter some republicans weighing in as well. Obviously, downward spiral right now. They have to figure out a way to come to grips with all thats happening. Reporter this latest Development Following the viering of the fbi director and the suggestion that the white house may have taped his conversations with james comey. The white house still refusing to say whether any tapes exist. Sean spicer with nbcs hallie jackson. Why wont you explain whether there are recordings. The president made it clear what his position is. Thats not my question. Thats what the president s position is. Reporter among the questions this morning, did the president break the law . National security lawyers say the president has ultimate authority to decide whats classified. So whatever he says is no longer classified, even if he doesnt go through a dlib are aive classification process or simply blurt something out. The president making that point today, defending what happened. Tweeting moments ago as i was speaking to you, as president i wanted to share with russia at an openly scheduled white house meeting which i have the salute right to do. More coming. Savannah, matt . Peter, thank you very much. We should mention we asked the white house to provide an official to join us this morning. The white house declined. We turn to richard blumenthal. He called this report astonishing and appalling. Senator, good morning to you. Good morning. Good to be with you. Thank you. I will ask you to react to what President Trump has said this morning. As far as you understand it, if this Washington Post story is true, has the president jeopardized National Security . In the opinion of many Intelligence Community members, there is a jeopardy to our National Security because to disclosure about this laptop plot, including the city where it was detected in isis territory, could jeopardize lives of sources. And it also threatens our credibility in dealing with partners and allies who provide extraordinarily valuable and Sensitive Information. There may be no law broken, but the rules and norms have clearly been crossed here. The white house and the president owe the American People and the congress a full explanation. Senator, you are a lawyer. You are used to having a critical eye when it comes to wording. You know the accusations. And now the denial coming from the administration in the person of h. R. Mcmaster said it didnt happen. Quote, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed. The president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publically known. Is that the same thing as saying the president did not disclose highly classified intelligence . No. Very important question. He may well have disclosed highly classified information, code word information is what the Washington Post reported. And that is a serious breach of norms and rules. And may well enable the russians who are our adversaries in that part of the world to trace sources and meth oods of information. If certain information is disclosed and it can come from only a small number of sources, they can be narrowed down and identified. Thats one of the real threats here. In addition to revealing that we have knowledge about a plot that seriously could endanger our own citizens flying planes and possibly jeopardized by these Laptop Computers. Im sure you read this report rather carefully. Theres a line where it refers to a transcript of this conversation. Does that suggest to you that there perhaps was some kind of recording device in the oval office, some kind of stenographer . And if there is a transcript, is it Something Congress can and should get its hands on . The Congress Must subpoena transcripts and tapes. Whether they exist or not, the only way to know reliably whether there are such transcripts or tapes is to issue a subpoena, probably from the intelligence committees, and make sure that all of the evidence is provided to the appropriate members of congress. That is because those transcripts would reveal whether or not classified information has been shared with the russians. Senator, on a busy day in washington, thank you very much. Thank you, senator. Lets talk about this bombshell report with nbc news political analyst Nicole Wallace and juan serati. The report says this information, the source of this information comes from a country that is particularly careful and private with the information they share, a country that may have warned the United States and others, if this gets shared too widely, the information will stop flowing. Whats the impact on our ability to protect ourselves, our National Security by obtaining intelligence from other countries . This is incredibly Sensitive Information about one of the most serious terror threats that were facing, one that involves innovations around our security protocols at airports. To undermine the trust and confidence we have with an ally that may be supporting, giving us that information, is potentially problematic. Can you just clarify something . This concerns an isis plot. The russians are supposed to be our partners in fighting isis. So explain why sharing information with them is so dangerous. Well, two reasons. First of all, i think the president may think that he is trying to create some degree of trust. Maybe trying to create cooperation on the ground. That may be in the back of his mind. The problem is the russians arent trustworthy. The russians have proven that when we have provided information in the past, they have used it against us. Back in the summer of 2016, the Obama Administration provided some information to the russians about some of the things happening on the ground. Guess what happened . The russians then attacked some of the sites of our allies, our proxies we were working with. Thats a problem. I think part of the challenge here is how much can we trust the russians . What you are seeing is a deficit of trust, a deficit of discipline i think on the part of the president. If potentially this intelligence source is angry that this information has been revealed, feels it has been burned and that dries up, but does that endanger American Security . Absolutely. One is the fact that were even talking about this creates a problem. Put aside the russians, isis will be looking for whatever the source is. Not to mention potentially the russians. Secondly, the russians now have an indication perhaps as to what were doing on the ground, where we are. This ally may be having trouble working with these sources on the ground now. Nicole, talk about the political optics of this, this meeting happened the day after the president fired james comey who was overseeing the investigation into possible collusion between russians and trump associates. Here he is meeting with these two russian officials and may have shared this information. Whats the political fallout . It doesnt get much worse. My conversations with the white house have taken on a new feeling of exaspiration. They have put the last man with an incredible amount of personal credibility on the line but putting out h. R. Mcmaster. It was a very interesting decision they made. Its the send time they used him since the comey firing. They view his credibility as something they need at this moment and theyre right about that. Presumably, you are watching Senior Republicans today. We saw bob corker say the white house is in a downward spiral. We need to see something change here. How do you think republicans are going to respond . Were watching them and theyre watching them. If republicans run, the bottom falls out for this white house. So far what has kept them alive is that there are a few folks in the National Security apparatus, h. R. Mcmaster, dena powell, james mattis over at dod, that are holding this whole thing together. If republicans in the congress, if the bottom falls out for them, if they say this president cant be managed, this president cant be taught, this president cant be taught discipline, he cant be trusted with classified information, i dont know how they proceed. Thank you both very much. This morning, we are learning more about who could be behind that massive ransomeware attack. Disney is the latest Major Corporation to be targeted by hackers. Nbcs tom costello has the latest. Good morning. Reporter several Cyber Security firms say there are signs in the malicious code that could point to north korea. They have done it before. However, thats not confirmed. What appears to be another unrelated attack, this one aimed at disney and a brandnew movie being held for ransom. This morning, disney isnt commenting about reports that it may be the latest victim. The ceo reportedly told employees that hackers claim totd have stole an disney movie and are threatening to release it in chunks if the company doesnt pay a ransom. The speculation would be to go immediately to the recent features and their biggest feature coming out is pirates of the caribbean. Reporter alleged hack coming on the heels of the attacks that began last friday. 150 countries affected, at least 300,000 computers. Including hospitals, telecom networks, schools and businesses, including fedex. The u. S. Infection rate has been lower than many parts of the world but we may see additional impacts as these attacks morph and change. Reporter the Wannacry Malware started inside the National Security. Regrettably, that source code was leaked to the public. Hence, has been used to create this. Microsoft isnt happy arguing the case underscores the danger of government storing software bugs. In a statement saying we have seen vulnerabilities stored by the cia show up on wikileaks and now this vulnerability stolen from the nsa has affected customers around the world. Its the equivalent says microsoft of thieves stealing a tomahawk missile. Microsoft says the governments of the world should treat this as a wakeup call. The fbi advises not to pay a ransom. Experts say its the only chance that you will see your data again. Back to you. Not a great situation to be in. Tom, thank you very much. Lets talk about the video we showed you at the top of the show, a private jet crashing and bursting into flames at an airport not far from us in new jersey. Good morning. Witnesses say they saw the jet suddenly flip upside down just before it crashed. Investigators will begin pouring over the wreckage and the video of the planes final moments to figure out what went wrong. A learjet becoming an instant fireball. Dramatic video released overnight from a Security Camera shows the terrifying moment of impact. Witnesses stunned at what they saw. I saw the plane come over in front of us completely on its side flying erratically. Obviously, i couldnt keep my eyes on it. My girlfriend was in the passenger seat. She said the plane flipped over completely. It was heading for a landing. It slammed into several buildings, including a Public Works Department building. Spreading flames everywhere. Tires from over a dozen burning cars near the crash site exploding from the intense heat. We ran out to see if we could possibly help or maybe pull somebody out. Unfortunately, it was all engulfed in flames. We could do nothing but stand by and watch. Horrific. Two crew members were killed. There were no passengers on board. Miraculously, no one on the ground was hurt. Its quite remarkable that given the time of day that there werent more injuries. Somewhat of a miracle. The plane was registered to a montana aviation company. There were reports of strong winds in the area as the plane matd i made its way from philadelphia. Mondays crash is the sixth major air accident there over the past dozen years. Tsv investigators are expected at the crash site today to begin trying to figure out what caused this deadly crash. Thank you very much. Let us turn to mr. Roker. We are looking at more winds, very Severe Weather going on today. Look what happened in iowa. This is a gust front. Hampton, iowa, in northern iowa. Winds over 60 to 70 miles an hour. Hail followed that. Now were going to be looking at more Severe Weather today. Stretching from the plains to the upper midwest as this system starts to push to the east. We are looking right now at a risk of Severe Weather from texas all the way into omaha. 13 million folks at risk. Tornadoes likely, a few strong. We have slowed down with our tornado production this year. So far, 727. But we still are ahead of the average of 620. As this system pushes east, impacts will be felt from texas on into minnesota, looking at strong storms, heavy winds and damaging hail pushing through with a lot of rain. We could be looking at three to five inches, especially as you get into the upper great lakes. Were going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 second. Ne, my dad called them up and asked for the Jennifer Garner card which is such a dad thing to do. After he gave his name the woman from capital one said mr. Garner, are you related to jennifer . Kind of joking with him. And my dad was so proud to tell her, as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter. So now dad has the venture card, hes earning his double miles, and he made a friend at the company. Can i say it . Go ahead whats in your wallet . Nice job dad. Good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. It will be a cool day with more clouds and a slight chance of showers in San Francisco. It will be breezy and still staying cool tomorr
