Yai areas. Hundreds of thousands are without power. Schools still closed and airlines are scrambling to get up to speed. Hack attack. Hundreds of high profile twitter accounts hijacked overnight. Nazi symbols posted on the pages of celebrities, politicians and media outlets. Who was behind it . And take two. The dad whose Live Television interview became a world wide sensation after his children crashed into the room. Go goes back on tv. There was nothing i could do. The lesson he says hell never forget today, wednesday, march 15th, 2017. Welcome to today on this wednesday morning. We had the weather storm yesterday and were back to politics this morning. What a difference a night can make. A lot to cover in politics. Its our top story this morning. Lets get right to it. Were getting rare look at some of President Trumps tax returns. Documents he refused to release during the campaign. Theres also new fallout over the republicans plan to replace obamacare. And the president s claims that phones at trump tower were wire tapped. Nbcs Peter Alexander is at the white house with more on all of this, good morning. Good morning to you, were getting reaction from President Trump as we speak. Moments ago he tweeted questioning how a reporter went to his mail box and found mr. Trumps tax returns. The president calls it fake news. The white house says the leaked 2005 form reinforces what Donald Trumps been saying all along, hes an incredibly successful businessman. Its refocusing a spotlight on mr. Trumps unwillingness to turn this morning, the release is raising questions about who leaked the form and why. Overnight a rare look at documents President Trump is still himself refusing to share. We have his federal tax return for one year for 2005. Msnbc Rachel Maddow airing a portion of mr. President trumps 2005 tax return. The words client copy stamped on the pages. It reveals he paid 38 million, writing off more than 100 million in losses. His effective tax rate, 25 . The reporter who obtained the document suggests they could have come from President Trump. He has a long history of leaking material about himself when he thinks its in his interest. The white house preempting the release while attacking the ratings when youre willing to violate the law to push two pages of returns. He claims they remain under audit. The only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters. Democrats pounced writing the white houses willingness to release Tax Information when it suits them proves his audit excuse is a sham. It was a brief distraction for the rocky rollout of the healthcare plan. Despite fierce criticisms, some within the president s own party, the white house isnt abandoning the republican plan. This is it. If we dont get this through, the goal of repealing obamacare and instituting a system that will be patient centered is going to be unbelievable difficult. This is the vehicle to do that. Democrats keeping up the pressure. Arguing the republican bill only benefits the rich. Also this morning, with a Senate Subcommittee set to hold a hearing zeroing in on russian interference on the election. Lindsey graham ordered the fbi not to ignore his order. Im going to make an announcement about the letter and let the fbi know theyre about to screw up big time if they keep running to the Intel Committee and not answer that letter. The white house Still Standing by President Trumps explosive wire tapping allegations aimed at president obama. I think he feels confident well ultimately come to this well vindicate him. Basically in plain english some republicans are saying its put up or shut up time for the administration, that includes new comments from the Judiciary Committee chairman says block President Trumps deputy general pick until he gets russiarelated answers from the justice department. Well talk to senator graham about russias interference in the election and those accusations from the president he was wire tapped. Well find out if senator graham is going to get the information he wants. Lets get to the tax returns. We get a two page summary from 2005. Is there a bomb shell here . Not a bomb shell. But we learned that the president , like many wealthy americans pay as lower rate lawfully than so many other people who make less. Thats something he said. I fight to not pay taxes, i dont want to pay as many taxes. Let me ask you this, the white house put this information out. Preemptively late last night and said it was illegal for reporters to talk about it. Federal law tightly controls tax returns. You cago the media in this area can usually report on unauthorized disclosure if there was a crime. Based on what was leaked and what wasnt included and the timing, any ideas who might have leaked it . Thats the big question. We had over a year. Now here we are after the election. Donald trump, his accountant, his family, people at the irs would have this. In that small universe who leaked it, we dont know. A lot of whats in there on this particular year goes towards things donald trump has said. That he did have high revenue. Its not illegal to leak your own tax returns. The document says client copy. Who got it . We dont know. Thank you. Joining us now, republican senator Lindsey Graham. Nice to see you, good morning. Good morning. Slow news day. Th senator whitehouse have given director comey a deadline of today to let you know whether there is an active investigation into russian ties to the Trump Campaign. A, is it true. B, do you think youll get that information today . Yes, two weeks ago we met with director comey who i like and admire and told him bitt 15th we would like to know if theres an active criminal investigation because congress shouldnt interfere. Were going to have a hearing on russia, i dont want to bump into a criminal investigation if there is one. In terms of the letter we wrote, i want an answer. The fbi and department of justice last week, for any evidence of a warrant that would allow wire tapping. If it doesnt happen the fbi is about to screw up big time, what happens if they dont comply . Congress will flex its muscle here. Senator grassley has subpoena to get the information. Well hold up the Deputy Attorney generals nomination until congress is provided with information to clear the air as to whether or not there was a warrant issued against the Trump Campaign. Number one youre saying director comey should tell you whether there is even an investigation into Trump Campaign ties to russia. Number two, the issue were talking about, theresident made an accusation against then president obama that he wire tapped his phones. You have asked the fbi to produce evidence for a warrant, application for a warrant any requests to surveil trump or trump tower. Do you think youll get the information today . If we dont get it today, congress will ramp up pressure. There are two different questions. Is there an investigation. Because i need to know before i move forward into investigating russia from a congressional lane. I dont want to interfere with a criminal investigation if there is one. Was a warrant, thats an easy question to be answered. And the president has suggested the former president had his Campaign Wire tapped. The only way he could do that is through a warrant. Tell me whether or not there was a warrant issued. Not the first time the president has made an accusation and said to congress you should look into this. You are pushing hard to get answers here. Are you trying to send the president a message that what he tweets is going to be held accountable for what he tweets and the accusation he make . Im trying to take him up on his challenge to look into his accusation. I dont know of any evidence where the fbi tried to obtain a warrant against the Trump Campaign to wire tap them. The accusation was made, he challenged the congress to get to the bottom of it. We will. If you want to challenge the congress to do things in the you strike me as a guy as having a good bs monitor. What does your monitor tell you about the wire tapping story, senator . Do you think its real. When i first heard it, it was a wild claim. I really dont know. If its not true, tell me its not true. Why is it taking so long to get the answer . So i have no evidence of it. Im suspicious of it. But now im getting concerned because its taking so long to answer my letter. Let me ask you about this, the white house has simultaneously dug in, the press secretary saying yesterday theyre confident that the president s accusation will ultimately be verified and hell be vindicated. Theyre kind of moving the goal posts because theyre saying when the president said i was wire tapped he put it in quotes. There were several tweets where he said president obama tapped my phone. What do you make of that . Do you buy that in terms of the shifting explanation for what the alleon president obama wire tapped my phone to was there any warrant issued against the Trump Campaign, trump tower or trump operative. I want to know if there was. And if theres not, with we need to put it to bed. Heres something that would be very explosive. If the federal government was able to obtain a warrant from a judge, then they had to have probable cause that the Trump Campaign was colluding with the russians. They say they have no evidence of a warrant. If there was a warrant, that would be big news. I dont think theres a warrant. But i wish they would tell me one way or the other. By the way, theres healthcare, senator. As its written right now, this bill in the house, is it dead on arrival . It is mortally wounded. I dont know if its died yet. Rand paul will not refundable tax credits is entitlement in another form. Medicate is fundamentally broken. I dont like that. This is the last best chance for republicans to pass healthcare by themselves, and screw it up. Heres what i hope the president would do. Try to get a good bill, if you cant, let obamacare collapse. And challenge the democrats to help him fix a problem they created. Real quick question, is this a good bill . Is it a good deal . Not right now. Medicaid is not where i want it to be. And this thing will collapse, obamacare will under its own weight. Were trying to do too much too quick. Were running through stop signs, much like president obama did, slow down, get it right. Youre not going to get 60 votes to buy insurance across state if you think thats important to healthcare reform, its never going to happen in the senate. Too bad you dont speak your mind, senator. Its awfully nice to have you here, thank you so much. Good morning. All right. By the way, tomorrow on today were going to have an exclusive interview with someone hes familiar with, former South Carolina governor and new u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations nikki haley. He does have a way with words. This morning, cleanup underway after tuesdays winter storm hit the northeast with heavy snow ice, and high winds. We have complete coverage beginning with miguel almanguer. Hes in worcester, massachusetts. Good morning. Good morning. This is what so many are waking up to here in worcester. Homes and cars buried under a thick layer of snow. Take a live look from our drone. So much of this community, much of the state looks just like and we are buried in snow. Overnight, more sleet and snow from a punishing storm, pommelling eight states and 70 Million People. One week its warm, next week blizzard. With parts of the northeast buried under more than two feet of snow and ice, the roads were dangerous and deadly. In new hampshire, a teenager lost her life after losing control of her car. In connecticut, an elderly man killed by a plow. While another driver flipped over in upside new york. Really bad.

For the most part people heeded the advice to stay off the roads. With Hurricane Force winds whipping through the region, massive waves pounded the coast. A blizzard in worcester and a blistering reminder winter isnt over yet. For those hit by cold temperatures in all that snow, the weathers not going to help today. The temperature will stay below freezing across so much of the state. While its white in cities like worcester. In washington, d. C. And new york by the coast, they were spared for the most part. That doesnt help the though here who are waking up to all this snow. Back to you guys. All right. Miguel almanguer, thank you. The storm is still having a major impact on air travel coast to coast. Cancellation of thousands of flights. How are the Airlines Getting back on track . Gabe gutierrez is at La Guardia Airport for us. The airlines are scrambling to catch up. But theres virtually no lines behind me. The challenge will be rebooking all of the stranded passengers. On tuesday there were more than 6,200 canceled flights across the country. Today, more than a thousand flights have been canceled. The major airports that are impacted here in the northeast are the new york city airports, la guardia, newark and jfk as well as baltimore and boston. As we take a look at the misery map, you can see its mostly clear but there is red popping up in the new york city airports an Public Transportation is mostly back up and running. Amtrak is running modified service in the northeast. If you do not have a flight already rebooked, chances are youre out of look today. It could be several days before the airlines clear this back log. Back to you. All right. Thank you very much. That brings us to al. What do we expect . We were talking earlier before the broadcast, the chief of forecast operations for the Weather Prediction Center in maryland said they he gave an interview saying on monday afternoon, we actually knew that the totals along the coast were going to be lower than we thought. But we didnt change it because we basically wanted people to heed the forecast. Not take it too lightly. Not take it too lightly. I see that as a cover your butt kind of thing. The fact st is we did say there could be a change in that path. And that would make a big difference along the coast. Closer to the coa less snow. We were within the lower ranges of our forecast. New york city picked up 7 and a half. The suburbs of new york seeing 12 inches. Islip, three inches of snow. For today, were going to see some wrap around snow. Lake effect snow as well. Snowfall amounts additionally through rochester through burlington, vermont. Could see another foot of snow into thursday. Were going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. Good morning, im storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell. Bright sunshine for a few more hours before clouds fill back in. Could have passing flurry or two later this morning into the afternoon. The real issue is the cold and the wind. Temperatures in the upper teens and low 20s now. It has wind chills down near zero in most of the out lying suburbs. Wind chills will stay in the teens all day, afternoon high today only up around 30 degrees. Cold weather again coming our way for tonight. On your way out the door, wind chill down near 5.
