Rethinking the whole confetti thing. We should be celebrating. Yes. We are happy with the forecast. I thought it was snow. Im like it was a botched attempt. Well get to that forecast in just a few moments. We want to get to our top story, the 50th anniversary of a historic day in selma, alabama. Its known as bloody sunday. Overnight the House Majority leader decided he would join president obama and thousands of others in selma to remember the past and to look toward the future. Nbcs Kristen Welker is outside the church in selma where the march began. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you.

They were marching for Voting Rights. They were marching for civil rights. This anniversary comes against the backdrop of a justice depa report which finds there is in fact deep racial bias in the Police Department in ferguson missouri. That is of course, where Michael Brown was killed. On friday president obama kicked off these events by talking to students in South Carolina and he talked about ferguson. Take a listen to what he had to say. The city of ferguson will now expect a decision, are they going to enter into some sort of agreement with the Justice Department to fix what is clearly a broken and racially biased system or if they dont, then the Justice Department has the capacity to sue the city for violations of the rights of the people of ferguson. Reporter now, a Senior Administration official tells me this is an emotional weekend for president obama as well. He has frequently talked about the impact that selma ha had on him, the fact that what happened here helped fave way for him to become the nations first africanamerican president i am told that today he will talk about all of the progress that has been made since selma and also the work that remains. Hell be joined by former president george w. Bush as well as close to 100 members of congress. Now, initially no republican congressional leaders were slated to attend this anniversary event, but then on friday an apparent aboutface top Congressional Republican kevin macccarthy announced he is attending and there will be tens of thousands of people here from all across the country. Now to a corruption investigation focusing on new jersey senator Robert Menendez. Friday night menendez hastily called a News Conference to deny hes done anything wrong. But questions are still swirling this morning about whether the senator went too far to help a friend and campaign donor. John jonathan alws good to see you. Thanks for coming in. Good morning, craig. Word out of the Justice Department this morning is new jerseys senior senator could be indicted late thermo. Federal prosecutors now have some of the senators own staffers in front of a federal grand jury answering questions about allegations he crossed the line. Let me be very clear. Very clear. I have always conducted myself appropriately and in accordance with the law. Reporter senator Robert Menendez is pushing back amid new information that he could soon be facing indictment. The veteran democrat acknowledges he took Campaign Cash and gifts from this florida eye doctor solomon melgin including free private jet trips to a Luxury Resort in the dominican republic. The fed want to know if the senator then improperly used his ufs office to try to help the eye doctor get a Port Security deal in the d. R. , a deal potentially worth tens of millions. The fbi is also looking into whether menendez went too far in pressing some government officials who had aused dr. Dr. Melgen of overbilling medicare. Melgen has denied any wrongdoing and calling it an oversight, the senator repaid the cost of the private flights even though menendez says the eye doctor is a longtime friend. We have been there for family weddings and sad times like funerals and have given each other birthday holiday, and wedding presents just as friends do. Reporter to move forward with any prosecution, the Justice Department will now have to prove there was a quid pro quo, that menendez took official action to help the doctor in exchange for those donations and gifts. What could be a fine line. The fact he received contributions from the doctor and did things for him, those two things alone are not enough. The government has to show a linkup. Reporter menendez perhaps best known for his political fights over cuba iran and Superstorm Sandy funding, may be in the fight of his political life but remains defiant. And i am not going anywhere. Spokesm for the fbi and Justice Department declined to comment, but sources familiar with the investigation say likely in a matter of weeks it all could be coming to a head. All right. Thank you.
