Reporter good morning to you, too, rob. Yes, of course, weve been seeing some wind gusts this morning but not like last night. Weve been checking and across the northeast weve seen more than 200 cancellation, more than 100 delays. Travelers rushing, calling in trying to get their flights changed. Many airlines still issuing travel advisories and wind the major concern. In massachusetts, weve seen gusts as strong as 80 Miles Per Hour. It was enough to blow you sideways and, of course, enough to down trees and power lines. Currently at last check more than 1 Million People across seven states without electricity. George, over to you. Adrienne, thanks very much. Lets get more on where this is headed from our chief meteorologist ginger zee. Ginger.

Flames beginning there and what i wanted to show you now is the storm is not over. We actually are seeing some really heavy rains up through parts of new hampshire. Flash flood warnings but look at this line about to come into new york city, believe me in about 20 to 30 minutes youll look out that window. It will look a lot different. Predator renkes with strong winds so it is far from over. About six to eight hours left and flood warnings that stretch back through western new york but even bigger deal as adrienne emphasized the wind, could see 30 to 40mileperhour gusts this afternoon. All right, ginger. Now to washington and that Major Development in the russia investigation. The first arrest could be made this morning. Special Counsel Robert Mueller seeks charges against at least one unidentified person and Pierre Thomas has the latest. Good morning. Reporter thats right. Were expecting to see as early as today the first criminal charges filed in the special counsels russia investigates. Indictments could be made public by this afternoon with someone being arrested and charged. Were still waiting on the identity of the suspect or suspects and potential charges, but its a dramatic moment and all of official washington is holding its breath with these potential charges, everyone involved will be put on notice that Robert Muellers team is serious and this is no small matter and everyone will, of course, be looking to see if the potential charges connect to anyone in the president s circle, robin. We may not know who will be indicted but what has been the main focus of the investigation so far . Reporter what we know is that for the last five months mueller has been investigating whether the Trump Campaign or any of its associates colluded with the russians in the 2016 president ial election and investigating the finances of Paul Manafort and former National Security adviser Michael Flynn and also been looking at possible obstruction of justice regarding the firing of former fbi director james comey. The president s attorneys say they have been cooperating with the special counsel and the president has nothing to hide. This is a big moment for mueller, former fbi director who was confirmed unanimously twice by the senate. Everyone will be dissecting the who and why of this dime and whether its significant, robin. We will, all right, thank you. Lets get more from jon karl. Jon, we heard pierre say the president s lawyers are saying he has absolutely nothing at all to hide but all week long especially yesterday the president doing his best to change the subject. Reporter he was on fire on twitter over the weekend, george. Yesterday demanding to know why investigators arent looking into the various things they could be looking at regarding Hillary Clinton. Look at these two tweets, first, the iranian to russia deal the uranium to russia deal, the 33,000 plus deleted emails, the comey fix and so much more. Instead they look at phony trump russia collusion which doesnt exist. The dems are using this for evil politics. After this series of tweets went out and there were more of them, the president s attorney, ty cobb said this. Quote, contrary to what many have suggested the president s comments today are unrelated to the activities of the special counsel to whom he continues to cooperate. Now, george what does that mean . I dont know exactly what it would have been about. Weve seen the president s lawyer out there right now but staffers inside the white house blindsided by this news late friday. Theyre as much in the dark as everybody else. Reporter this news broke first on cnn late friday. Nobody at the white house had any idea anything was coming down, had gotten any notification, in fact, per the weekend i kept Touching Base and no notification i know of even to this moment as to what exactly is going to go down with the special counsel. Everyone is waiting. Jon karl, thanks very much. Lets bring in dan abrams, also meghan mccain, cohost of the view and, dan, so much unknown right now, but when we find out who this person or persons is, it will reveal a lot about special counsel strategy. We expected this to be rolling from day one. Meaning no one expected that suddenly you were going to get a whole list of people indicted in one day. It was going to be it was expected to be. Thats the way it happens with independent counsels, it starts with one or two people. They move on and continue going as such. But the big question is going to be, do they use the typical federal prosecutor strategy, which is you start with the small fish, you go to the big fish. Typically you try to put pressure on someone before you indict them to get them to turn and help you in the investigation. But if they dont help, then what you often do is you will indict them in the hope that that will send the message you either cooperate or youre going to be in big trouble. The reason they might not follow the normal strategy, its complicated because the president has pardon power. When you read the president s tweets, right, and hes talking about this being a witchhunt, et cetera, it sure sounds like hes saying, if someone is indicted here, its going to be unfair. Its going to be something that needs to be fixed. And the president can fix it. The way he can fix it according to him is with a pardon. And so many of these people may be saying, im not willing to cooperate the way that someone ordinarily would because i have a feeling or i know that ill get pardoned by the president and there are all sorts of question about federal and state law with regard to that but i think thats got to be something anyone is thinking about in the context of this. Still with that, meghan, as weve been saying about the president tweeting, the firestorm as jon said and witchhunt, the administration has to be concerned. They have to be concerned. And, again, its going to push them off narrative. Were trying to talk about tax reform and tax cuts. Has a big trip to china coming up but i think its important when we talk about this, the core trump base of supporters thinks this is a deep state conspiracy that started with james comey. I have friends that are Trump Supporters talking to them all weekend. They think this is pretty much a nothing burger and when it came out with Hillary Clinton coming out she had ties to fusion gps and had connections and payments to this russian dossier, im telling you whatever mueller finally comes out and shows us better be pretty good because his 38 of hard core supporters, right now theyre taking his side. Right now they are and the president is feeding that with his tweets but the new polls out show hes at his alltime lows. Im not telling you all things are wonderful in pleasantville but im saying his core base of supporters, theres been this internet conspiracy that this is the deep state trying to take him down. But he should be very concerned especially after everything happening last week with attacking the gold star mother, la David Johnsons wife, that was very bad narrative Going Forward and i just i dont know. It just seems like this administration cant get out from under itself and no matter what happens cant get that legislative win so many of us want and heading into midterms. Theyre coming. Right around the corner. Well continue to talk about it and im sure youll have a lively discussion on the view this morning. Thanks so much. Now to accusations against one of the most powerful actors in hollywood, kevin spacey, overnight the twotime Academy Award winner releasing a statement acknowledging allegations that he made a sexual advance on a minor decades ago and apologizing. Amy robach is here with the latest details. Good morning, amy. Good morning to you, robin. This is all in the middle of the unfolding Harvey Weinstein scandal yet another actor coming forward, this time pointing the finger at kevin spacey about an encounter he says happened more than three decades ago. Spacey apologizing overnight but also choosing this moment to publicly come out as gay. Youre not alone reporter overnight rent and Star Trek Discovery star telling buzzfeed that kevin spacey made a sexual advance towards him when he was 14. In 1986 when he and spacey were working on broadway, spacey then 26 years old invited rapp to a party at his apartment. And that at the end of the night after everyone else had left, tried to seduce him in his bedroom pressing into him but rapp says after a short period he was able to squirm away. Were survivors. Reporter spacey responding to rapps allegations on twitter writing, he is a fan of rapps work and that i honestly do not remember the encounter. I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior. He also acknowledged publicly for the first time that he is gay. Writing, as those closest to me in my life i have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life and i choose now to live as a gay man. I want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behavior. Many on social media questioning whether this was the most appropriate time for spacey to acknowledge his sexuality. Twitter user trayvon free wrote being gay is not an excuse for trying to molest children and wanda sykes saying, no, no, no. You do not get to choose to hide under the rainbow. And, yes, a lot of people criticizing spacey for choosing this moment to publicly come out. In his statement he says this story has encouraged me to address other things about my life adding i know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fueled by the fact that i have been so protective of my privacy. So the timing of this, though, is raising a lot of eyebrows. Yeah, the timing of it is because its been, you know, thought for many hes joked about it. Remember when he was at the tonys joking about it and to choose this time and so a lot of the headlines are about him coming out and not about the accusations against a minor. Exactly and so thats where hes going to continue to draw a lot of criticism. This is cascading in so many Different Directions right now. It really is. As more fallout comes from this, were going to hear from Fashion Designer donna karan. Remember she had some really stark comments right after, very surprising so i sat down with her over the weekend. Right now well turn to that mysterious death of a green beret back in june. Two navy s. E. A. L. S now under investigation as authorities try to determine if they killed their fellow Service Member in the african nation of mali. Abcs Stephanie Ramos at the pentagon with the latest. Good morning, stephanie. Reporter george, good morning. Its been four months since u. S. Army Staff Sergeant logan melgar was found dead in his room while deployed to the west african country of mali. Melgar was a special operations engineer sergeant conducting training and counterterrorism migs part of a small group of u. S. Military personnel working in bamako, malis capital in support of the u.

The astros celebrating a major victory taking game five of the series, they are now just one win away from their first ever title. T. J. Holmes is here, has the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, this was another epic slugfest between the two teams last fight but so much of the story line of the world series has been all the home run, a Record Number being hit. A theory is emerging about that and has everything to do with the baseballs being used in this world series putting the pitchers at a disadvantage. Thats it. Reporter 22 and counting. Another one. Reporter balls are flying out of the park at an historic rate and astros and dongs added another seven homers including thin that this one that seemed to explode upon landing. But for the pitchers serving up all those homers, its a different story. I think the main complaint is the ball seemed a little bit different in the postseason and even from the postseason to the world series balls. Theyre a little slick. Reporter so why so many homers . One theory, slick baseballs. Players and coves on both teams tell Sports Illustrated the baseballs are slicker than the ones used in the regular season. That makes it more difficult for some pitchers to command their signature pitch but Major League Baseball says the balls are made to the same standards as the regular season baseballs. The only difference is the gold stamping on the baseballs. Everybody, okay, everybody is talking. If its slicker, it makes it more difficult for some of them to throw their slider, signature pitch. You cant control. It wont dip as much. Those hitters are good. They can spot it. Off just a fraction, that thing is leaving the park. Is that the ball you stole from the world series as year. No, i keep it in a special safe at home. Thank you, t. J. You got it. Now we have that cold behind the storm, look at this. Smoke, they had snow, this is louisiana that is frost on a windshield. We have not seen frost in some areas in the northeast. Look how far south frost advisories into the panhandle of texas this morning. Reporter hi everyone, all that rain from yesterday is finally wrapping out of here. Philadelphia will be drying out before too much longer. By the end. Rush hour this should be pretty much gone. As we look outside, cloudy skies out there, you can see the camera shaking a bit every now and then. The wind is blustery across the region. Win
