Im Ayman Mohyeldin alongside yasmin vossoughian. Allegations against Alabama Senate nominee roy moore continue to mount. Alabama. Com is out with stories from two more women. Tina johnson says she was 28 years old in 1991 when moore groped her in his law office. Kelly harris thorpe says she was 17 years old when she turned down moore in 1982. The Washington Post and New York Times out with front page stories of women who accuse moore of going at teenage girls at the mall decades ago. Gina richd sardson in this pict said it was right before her 18th birthday when she has her First Encounter with roy moore. She was a working a sears. After declining request for phone number, he then called her school. Pulled from math class to the Principals Office where moore asked her out again over the phone. But later she says he asked again and she relented after going to a movie, she tells the Washington Post they were in his car chatting and i just explained to him that my dad is a minister and i just cant sneak around because thats wrong. She said she thanked him and, quote, started to get out and grabbed me and pulled me in and thats when he kissed me. It was a man kiss. Like really deep tongue. Like very forceful tongue. It was a surprise. I had never been kissed like. She was scared and told him i have to go because my curfew is now. Nbc news has not verified the allegations and moore denied past allegations. Moore campaign called it politically motivated. Also fighting back allegations of the only woman to accuse him of sexual assault. Focusing part of the story in the 1977 yearbook. The allegations that have come out, i hope you understand it takes time to work through this. We dont have a 20 million budget as a campaign. It takes time. We want to be correct. We demand that you immediately release the yearbook to a neutral custodian so our expert, you can send your expert as well if you would like to. Our expert can look at it. Not a copy on the internet. The actual document so that we can see the lettering. We can see the ink on the page and see how old is the ink. 40 years old or a week old. Release the yearbook so we can determine is it a genuine or a fraud. Alabama msnbc vaughn. Good to talk to you. Yesterday we thought we would hear from the president and the roy moore scandal. Any word the president will be commenting on these allegatios. S reporter good morning. Yes, yesterday was the president s chance. We kept hearing he would address these allegations once he returned to the United States from overseas and yesterday was his opportunity after giving remarks at the white house. This is what im told. Thank you very much. Thank you all. Should roy moore resign, mr. President . Do you believe the accusers of roy moore . Should he resign . The three individuals who have interestingly been silent on this have been President Trump, Vice President pence and the other one is steve bannon. Continues to standby roy moore as these allegations come out. The white house as you mentioned those three individuals, mike pence, President Trump, steve bannon, theyve certainly been somewhat silent on the issue. Were getting a very different reaction from capitol hill. A lot of the senior republican members of the hill, theyve been very forceful in terms of what they expect will happen if moore wins and what they want to see him do before election day. Exactly. Mitch mcconnell, the Senate Majority leader suggested there would be ethics hearing which could lead to expulsion from the senate. Hes the one of pushing a write in candidate. Even though they dont have a name for a write in candidate. Richard shelby is the other interesting one. Other senator from alabama. He said yesterday he will write in distinguished republican. Hes kind of been the one voice from within the republican apparatus in alabama to have smoken out. Very much a divide in washington, d. C. And whats happening here in alabama. Poke very much a divide in washington, d. C. And whats happening here in alabama. Yesterday President Trump delivered 25 minute post mortum of trip to asia. Everywhere we went, the foreign host greeted the american delegation, myself included with incredible warmth. Hospital, and most importantly, respect. And this Great Respect showed very well our country is further evidence that americas renewed kofd a confident and standing in the world has never been stronger than it is right now. This is exactly what the world saw, a strong, proud, and confident america. I explained to all of the World Leaders and across asia how well the United States is doing. Trump had been promoting the speech over the past week as a major statement. However, when you really look at it, no new announcements or news regarding either of the trip. Two main umbrella, trade and nuclear crisis. It was expected for him to announce he was relegating the state sponsor. Sara Huckabee Sanders said he would have a decision on by the end of the asia trip or the president would announce a new trade agreement of some sort. Something he left asia without actually announcing. Instead, he dove back into the well reiterating past comments and policies. Then there was that other version of watergate, shall we say. In addition to the old saying about karma. Theres a trump tweet for everything. Both apply to the president yesterday. You may recall during the gop response to president obamas state of the union in 2013, marco rubio had to pause and take a now infamous sip of water. Something trump ridiculed on twitter about. And also on the campaign trail last year. When they put marco on to refute president obamas speech, do you remember that catastrophe hes like this and we will i need water. Help me. I need water. Help. And hes this is on live television. Its rubio. Wow, so during asia speech. Fast forward. A clearly parched president had trouble finding opening, holding a water bottle on multiple instances for his part. Rubio got in on the conversation said similar, but needs work on his form. Had to be done in one single motion. Eyes should never leave the camera. Not bad for his first time. We should do a side by side of both videos and vote on who did it better. Politicians drink water just like us. Looking for legislative win; House Republicans vote on tax bill today. Top gop leaders are confident that the bill will get passed. At the same time, President Trump is expected to make a trip to capitol hill today to rally republicans before the vote. Nbc casey hunt has all the details. Reporter after failing three times to repeal obamacare, Senate Republicans are trying hard at it again, adding repeal of individual mandate to buy Health Insurance to tax plan. Individual mandate of obama is the most unpopular part of obama. Twothirds of americans hate it. Played a key role in selling the plan to the president. 100 for it. I heard he said i love it. I love it. He said he loved it. Wanted to confer with his team. He did. 100 forward. Tell everyone. President trump tweeting this week, now how about ending the unfair and highly unpopular mandate in o care. If it succeeds. Millions on obama could face higher premiums. Everybody needs to be in the pool to keep prices down. By letting younger and healthier people out of the markets, cost will go up for older and are sicker people who remain. Makes some moderate republicans nervous. If we start getting into Health Care Issues with the individual mandate, then we send a very mixed message. Speaker paul ryan planning a vote thursday on the house version of the plan which doesnt touch obama. Of course we dont like the individual mandate. Right now focused on tax reform. Signs of trouble in the senate. Republican senator ron johnson already announcing hes a no on the tax plan. Casey hunt, nbc news. The capital. Joining us now from Washington CapitolHill Reporter for the hill, molly cooper. Good to have you with us this morning. We just heard from casey, a lot of uncertainty surrounding gop tax reform effort now that theyve kind of wave e weaved i repealing obama with it. The senate seems to predict particular trouble. Wheres your prediction where this goes from here now theyve tried to tackle the issue of obama in a tax reform bill. Until i heard Susan Collins and ron johnson coming out with ron johnson saying he was opposed to it. S sew sewen collins says she has concerns. Usan collins says she concerns. They can only afford to lose two votes. Swe havent talked abo e e e Ed John Mccain and corker. They havent said how theyre going to vote on it. Theyre reviewing it, of course. Its a pretty gbig gamble given the makeup of the conference right now. Keep in mind, one of the reasons it feels like Senate Republicans are moving their bill faster than normal is because we do have this special election coming up on december 12. Talked to several republicans privately who said we got to make sure we pass this before we lose a member of the senate and possibly have a democratic from alabama come in and or roy moore who will faces problems the moment he gets to the senate. You probably also say really quickly you probably wonder in President Trump is wondering if he should have probably not trashed senator bob corker or flake or mccain. He needs the votes to get in. Exactly. Lets talk about roy moore. Go to a strategy here being thrown around. I want to get you take on it. Luther strange stepping down. What do you make of that . Is it feasible . Whats you take on it. Its possible. Right now the governor seems like the governor of alabama has a lot of power. She can actually call for a new election or cancel the special election coming up and call for a new one you know, its really up in the hands of the Alabama State republican party. Whats interesting to me is i talked to several republicans from alabama who all endorsed roy moore before the allegations came out. Yet, they havent pulled their endorsement yet and arent commenting on it. So that to me was kind of striking. I talked to bradley the other day who incidentally is a former labor and employment lawyer. Also has a lot of experience training people and companies in sexual harassment. I asked him, do you believe these women . Do you believe these accusers . He said i have no doubt i have no reason to doubt their v voracity essentially. It really is in the hands of the state party. Live on the hill this morning. Molly hooper, thank you. Still ahead. Lawmakers announce new gun control legislation and believe it or not its getting support from both sides of the aisle.

Plan would incentivize states to strengthen the National Criminal background check. Thats a program by asking federal agencies to up load and verify the criminals and help bar unfit purchasers from buying a gun. In exchange, create plans for states that comply and withhold political bonuses for agencies that do not meet those standards. Bipartisan response is the best chance. Speaking of Mass Shootings. In the wake of the recent Mass Shootings in Luis Videgaray and tex and texas. 95 of voters in the United States say they support mandatory background checks for all gun purchases. 65 in favor of a full nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons. Another all time high. 91 believe anyone convicted of a Violent Crime should be barred from buying a gun. When it comes to President Trumps handling of gun policy in majority of americans say they disapprove with only 40 supporting him on the issue. 52 opposing him. Congress is still just moving the needle. Good to have bipartisan support. Hopefully changing happening here. Lets go to brooklill karin standing by. Have you heard of meddy cane.
