hi, everyone. i'm ellison barber. kate and zinhle are off today. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, wednesday, march 13th, 2024.

breaking news. charges dropped. three counts against former president donald trump are thrown out in georgia, how the judge is explaining his decision. time up for tiktok? the chinese-owned app is now one step closer to being banned in the u.s. what's next for the legislation and what it means for millions of american users. prescription for change, a weight loss drug gets approved for a new use. and game over? doesn't have to be for kids who just love their video games. how you can help them set healthy boundaries. we'll begin this hour with that breaking news involving former president donald trump. a judge scott mccaffrey

overseeing the georgia election interference case has dropped three charges. saying the prosecution lacked enough detail for those charges. he's pleaded not guilty to the counts. leading us off this hour is blayne alex ander in atlanta, blayne, walk us through this, what charges were dropped. what it means for the case against trump? >> reporter: ellison, three counts total that were dropped and they all have to do with trump's alleged attempts to put pressure on state officials to change the results of the election, basically the slis tigs of violation of oath. what's important here, you'll likely recognize most that now infamous phone call the former president trump made to find enough votes to overturn biden's election victory here in georgia. the charge specifically relating to that phone call has been

tossed out. that's notable. important to mention that phone call is still in the indictment, still going to be presented in court and still a piece of the evidence. now as for what this means for this georgia case against trump it's important to note, yes, he's still facing ten other charges. legal experts here in georgia said it's largely insignificant when it comes to the entire context of the case. that rico charge still stands and certainly going to be notable he's still facing a number of significant charges here. >> have we heard anything from donald trump or the attorneys representing him in. >> reporter: we've heard from his lead georgia attorney, he's the person who has been, you know, leading his defense here in georgia and he's taking this as a victory. the ruling is a correct application of the law as the prosecution failed to make specific allegations of any allege td wrongdoing on these

counts and the entire prosecution of president trump is political, constitutes election interference and should be dismissed. i should point out in this nine-page ruling from the judge today, he allows for the d.a. to have a couple of options, she can either appeal this decision or she can file -- she can try and re-indict on these charges. go before a grand jury and re-indict. her office is still working through and evaluating this ruling today. but tells me they haven't ruled anything out, ellison. >> blayne, thank you. a potential tiktok ban is now one step closer to becoing a reality in the united states. the house has overwhelming passed a bill to force tiktok's china-based owner to sell the app within six months. if they don't it would be blocked from app stores in the united states. the final vote was 352-65. the bill now heads to the senate but right now it's not clear

when it could come up for a vote. president biden said he'll sign the measure if it reaches his desk. savannah sellers is in washington, d.c. and brian cheung is here in studio. savannah, not the first time you've been in d.c. covering a tiktok social media-related hearing on the hill, what are house lawmakers saying about today's vote. >> reporter: look, you said it passes by an overwhelming margin, only needed 278 votes in order for this to advance to the senate, they got 352. the mixed of representative whogs voted yess and nos. republicans and democrats in both of those categories. some of the lawmakers. >> in a decisive and bipartisan fashion. i don't support a ban on tiktok. the legislation did not ban

tiktok. >> i'm concerned in terms of the data that america data shouldn't be going in those hands. that's why we need a internet privacy rule. >> no word in the constitution does it say that. we should protect national security, but this isn't the way to go about doing that. >> reporter: there's this mix, concerns about free speech and young voters from those who voted no, ellison. >> brian, tiktok has been pretty vocal in speaking out against some of the accusations coming from lawmakers on the hill. >> shortly after the vote happened and the bill was passed at least on the house side of things they responded with a statement saying, quote, this process was secret and the bill was jammed through for one reason, it's a ban. pointed to the millions of americans who use this service

in this country. saying this would be devastating for them. they use the social media app to sell goods. when it comes to what tiktok is saying with regards to the core of this bill, national security concerns, they deny they're supplying anything to the chinese government in terms of information. they say they operate independently, this is going to be an ongoing battle. tiktok put notifications on its app to urge their congressional representatives to vote no and we heard the tiktok ceo is on the senate side of things where the battle is headed for the next move. >> savannah, brian mentioned the senate, no official date yet on when they might vote, do they plan to ring this up for a vote. >> reporter: look, it doesn't look they're doing it with much

urgency. that being said we have heard more of a pushback than we did from representatives prior to this vote happening in the house. one of the big things that we keep hearing is this concern about young voters. senator durbin said do we want to mess with a vote that young voters love when we're trying to get re-elected. >> if this does become law, what happens ultimately to tiktok and the company. >> the way this bill is structured is such if it gets passed it has to go through the senate and passed by the president, it will be six months. if bytedance sells it within that time, no disruption. if they fail to do so in six months the app would be banned. >> all right, savannah sellers, brian cheung, thank you both. denver is staring down a

anti-camping ordnances including fines for sleeping in any private space violated her constitutional rights. the 8th amendment, cruel and unusual punishment. >> reporter: but the flip side officials say is a city dotted with tents. >> our city deserves to have the ability to hold people accountable to bad behavior and ultimately our citizenry can't utilize park spaces. >> reporter: a heated legal battle has now dragged on for years. now the final decision is in the hands of the supreme court. what's happening here is a microcosm for an issue that's playing out across the country and ultimately how the u.s. supreme court rules in this case can determine how cities nationwide can navigate their homeless crisis. >> reporter: california governor newsom among the democratic

lawmakers taking the conservative side of this issue rand hoping the current conservative supreme court will side with them. petitioning to the court on behalf grants pass, it has paralyzed cities like los angeles and san francisco. effectively blocking them from moving people off public streets. >> these court decisions have tied cities' hands. frozen in place the status quo who is truly unacceptable. >> reporter: but ed johnson says lawmakers like newsom are deflecting blame and siding with the city for political reasons. if the supreme court sides with the city of grants pass what does that mean for other cities, san francisco, los angeles, portland? >> those cities aren't trying to do what grants pass is trying to do. grants pass wants to make it

illegal 24 hours a day. the problem is that if that's allowed many cities will run all of the homeless people out of their community and they have to go somewhere. >> reporter: for helen who now cleans homes and lives at this church the fear of the upcoming supreme court ruling is overwhelm glg i don't want to think about what's going to happen. uncertainty that nobody wants to think about. >> reporter: a no-win solution when there's limited housing and nowhere to go. liz kreutz, nbc news, oregon. coming up, armed gangs in haiti ravaging the capital, what we're learning about the race to we're learning about the race to get americans out.

to block as much traffic as possible. we do know that the airport pretty quickly reacted and they started sending passengers to the domestic security gates to get them through security there. then they could go to their flights. what we know at this point is that there were no flights delayed. there were also no arrests. let's show you this video here. we noticed this was winding down as vehicles that were used as part of the demonstration were towed. there were cars on the approach to the international terminal. those vehicles were towed an hour ago as we first arrived here at san francisco international. it's a demonstration that went on for three hours. it did affect traffic coming in here. there was confusion for passengers who are used to figure out how to get to their flights in the international terminal. then the people going to the domestic terminals as well. we understand from police that

while there was a large mobilization of officers to help disburse this demonstration, they basically disbursed on their own after nearly three hours. there have been no arrests that were made. although, we do know there were several vehicles that were towed. one of the commanders that i chatted with briefly here at sfo says those cars that have been towed were towed under the authority of the san francisco police department. for now, things seem to have returned back to normal here at the international terminal. >> thank you so much. inconvenient for a lot of passengers. thank you. let's talk about our weather. the rain is behind us. expect some powerful winds coming our way. >> we will be drying out and warming up over the next couple of days. starting today. another thing that's going to come with this is those wind speeds. we will be under a wind advisory

in the country and there's a lot of reaction from some of people here, having conversations since yesterday and they specifically all mentioned the weapons, when we see the images of the gangs of what's happening in haiti we see the gang members with weapons that have been used to gain control of more than 80% of port-au-prince and they believe members of the community that spoke to me they believe more attention needs to be placed on the issue of weapons that keep arriving in haiti that the gangs are using many of these weapons they believe come from the united states. earlier today i had a conversation with a photojournalist who was born if in haiti, move to the u.s., a pillar part of this community and he also brought up the issue of the weapons and the lack of food. part of the conversation that we had. >> a shame where haitians can afford ak-47s but can't afford a bowl of rice. something is wrong. >> if those who are ruling the

streets have the real concern of the country and for the people, then they'll find a way to make it happen. >> reporter: so, like many others he kept saying that whatever happens in haiti he wants to feel like the decisions are going to be made by the people of haiti and not the sper fashional community, we'll have to wait to see what happens if the next 24, 48 hours, ellison. >> guad, there was a journalist and author airlifted from haiti. he was visiting an orphanage that he runs in the country. what do we know about that situation? >> reporter: mitch, a very well-known writer in the united states, he has a foundation that operates an orphanage in haiti, he was visiting that orphanage, he had to get airlifted because there was no way to leave the country. the airports were closed. he was airlifted.

he shared a statement in which he shared his emotions, he and his wife are destroyed by what's happening. some volunteers that were at that orphanage had to leave with them. the feeling of them having to leave the children behind as they came to the united states, which is the case with many others that have been operating orphanages or in the country trying to offer aid who have had to escape because of that violence, ellison. >> guad, thank you. in today's daily health, the blockbuster drug wegovy isn't just for weight loss anymore fda say it can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. joining me now is christine romans and next news medical contributor dr. natalie azar. dr. azar, let's start with you on this, the change comes after a study looked at its effect on heart health what did those results find and how does it

work for patients with heart disease. >> the results were pretty dramatic, we reported on them a come of months ago. what they found was that individuals who have a history of pre-existing heart disease or either obese or overweight who took wegovy 20% reduce risk in cardiovascular. the study's authors say, if you lose weight that will lower cardiovascular -- they started to see this benefit even before people started losing weight. the medicine is not just resulting in weight loss but it's doing something really good to your blood vessels stabilizing them, reducing the risk. >> wegovy out of pocket, quite expensive with the fda approval

it could cover more people under insurance. >> an important development. $1300 out of pocket is what this costs. if you go to the wegovy website, you can see very clearly they have a tool if your own health insurance company will help pay for this. remember, ozempic and earlier versions of these drugs were used off-label. this is specifically designed for weight loss, the new approval for wegoy to reduce heart attack and stroke risk, you have might have to have a pre-authorization from the company and prove frankly you've had other weight loss attempts that have been unsuccessful. so there could be some hoops to run through here but it's clearing the way for more people to have this covered. a reminder, part of the problem here medicare doesn't cover weight loss drugs because of the debacle 20 years ago when taxpayers dollars paying for weight loss treatments weren't

working or actually were harmful, congress said, taxpayer dollars can't be used to pay for these sort of drugs. >> when it comes to production, i assume this would add to the desire for people to use it and already we hear stories of people wanting it and not being able to get it. >> they're running around the clock here and they had really pushed out just first doses for a while so that everybody could get on the first doses. they have said they have -- that situation. they'll try to get more of the product through the pipelines. be patient. they've been working frantically since january to try and make sure this drug is available. >> dr. azar when someone is thinking maybe this is the right move for me, when they should say, let's talk to the doctor and are there any side effects they should know about. >> with the new indication to reduce the heart disease, there's going to be a lot more people, more candidates for this medication. not just for the treatment of obesity anymore.

this is truly a cardiovascular risk reduction. nausea, diarrhea, constipation. the potential increase of thyroid cancer, pancreas, vision problems. experts say start low, go slow, most people can end up tolerating quite well, ellison. >> thank you both. we appreciate it. the deadline to file your taxes is just one month away. for many taxpaying filing season can be costly. there are a lot of ways to file your taxes for free. "nbc news daily" anchor zinhle essamuah shows us in her latest installment of her series "simply explained."

>> in addition to all these bills. >> when it comes to filing your taxes, most americans are on the same page. >> definitely not looking forward to filing my taxes this year. >> it's expensive. >> well, it's definitely more expensive. >> reporter: but did you know you can file your taxes by the april 15th deadline for free? simply doing your taxes does not have to cost you. have you ever filed your taxes for free? >> no. >> did you know you can do that? >> no. >> reporter: quick history lesson. taxes weren't always so complicated or expensive. in the early 1900s, the 16th amendment established a federal income tax but at that time most people were exempt, in fact, less than 1% of the population paid income taxes. that changed at the beginning of world war ii when taxes became a way to help pay for the war. >> i have called for personal sacrifice. >> reporter: in 1939 only 5% of the population paid income tax, growing to 60% by the war's end. and with more people paying taxes, came the creation of tax preparation companies. it's a business that would later become so profitable, tax preparation companies would spend millions lobbying against free filing services. >> the tax preparation industry, both in person and online, has spent a great deal of money to

get members of congress to see things their way. the public goal should be to have a system that doesn't force you to spend a chunk of your pay to have someone fill out your tax return. >> reporter: the issue has been brought up in multiple congressional hearings. >> tax prep companies have sabotaged the free file program. >> reporter: companies that have found themselves in the hot seat, like intuit, the maker of turbotax, say in part as our business grows so does our engagement and education of policymakers on various issues, from a.i. and innovation, to stronger consumer protections and tax simplification, while h&r block says in part the irs should focus additional funding on improving existing services, it offers approximately 43 different forms. so, let's talk about the multiple ways you can file for free. that is, if you have a simple return. >> a lot of people don't realize that they don't have to pay a tax preparer. >> reporter: i sat down with cnbc's sharyn epperson to discuss four main ways to file

for free. starting with direct file, a brand-new pilot program this year that's available in 12 states. >> if you have w2 wages, if you have unemployment compensation, or if you have social security benefits, that's something that you want to look at for direct file. you can also do free file on the irs.gov website. you have to have an income less than $79,000 to qualify. free file allows you to get tax prep for free online through a tax partner with the irs. if you want another free option but you make over $79,000 a year, you can check out irs free file fillable forms, you're not going to get any guidance or tax preparation advice, but you will be able to file your taxes for free. there are also other organizations that offer free help. there's a volunteer income tax assistance program, aarp foundation has a tax aid program for those 60 and older, low and moderate income, and then if you're a veteran in the military, there's no tax. >> reporter: according to the irs, on average, individual

taxpayers spend about $140 to get their taxes prepared with an 8% rise in tax preparation costs this year. >> look at these different options that allow you to do your taxes for free, if you qualify, use them instead of going to a tax preparer. >> and that's free tax filing simply explained. >> our thanks to zinhle essamuah. we want to hear from you, what do you want simply explained. let zinhle know by connecting on your favorite social media platforms. coming up, do you have a child who's seemingly obsessed with video games. the warning signs they might actually be addicted and how to actually be addicted and how to set healthy - my childhood was kind of rough.
