calls for resignation and impeachment. virginia's governor faces sexual abuse, adding to the political crisis. jeff bezos sues the national enquirer and president trump and the publisher, we'll explore that. also this hour the cnn freedom project. we take a look at a fashion-forward approach to helping victims of human trafficking. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen and this is cnn "newsroom."

our top story, the government of the state of virginia is spiraling into chaos. three top officials are mired in scandal and the democratic party wants action to stop the train wreck. the most serious allegations are against this man, lt. gov. justin fairfax. two women now accuse him of sexual assault. he denies any wrongdoing. moneytime, governor ralph northam on the right there vows to keep his job after racist pictures of him showed up in a 1984 yearbook. and attorney general mark herring admits to a blackface and is fighting for the rival of his life. and the second woman accusing justin fairfax of rape. >> reporter: it seems in many

ways, this situation in richmond, virginia is getting complicated by the day. already the attorney general and governor under a cloud of scandal after accusations of racist photos and appear income blackface in their past. now the tomorrow under fire because of a sexual assault allegation is facing allegations from a second accuser. >> that woman says that justin fairfax raped her when they were both college students in 2000. watson goes on the to say she believes fairfax targeted her because she was a previous rape victim. watson's attorney supplying the media with e-mails that show watson has told people for many years about fairfax raping her when they were in college. in fact, one of those e-mails came as fairfax was beginning his political career. a group of duke alumni asked for fellow reaction. she said, justin raped me in college. i don't want to hear anything

about him. please, please, please remove me from any future i males about hi -- e-mails about him, chaunk thank you. he says this is not true and he plans not to resign. even though fairfax says he does not want to resign the calls are coming from all corners of virginia's government. a number of congressional delegations saying it's time to go. the former governor terry mcauliffe saying he should go. a delegate says he will file articles of impeachment against the lt. gov. on pond if he does not resign beforehand. of course, all of this comes as the state is still reeling from the controversies involving the governor in his medical school yearbook. there was a racist photo that appeared under his name and the attorney general who admitted he appeared in blackface in college as we want. the only update on those two stories is that the governor

doesn't appear to be going anywhere. he told members in his cabinet in a meeting on friday, he plans to serve tout balance of his term. ryan nobles, cnn, rim, virginia. >> as ryan just mentioned, calls for justin fairfax's resignation are pouring in across the country. you and the virginia legislative black caucus writes this -- and black caucus writes this -- and black caucus writes this -- and black caucus writes this -- and black caucus writes this -- and black caucus writes this -- and black caucus writes this -- and black caucus writes this -- and take a look at this list of some of the many u.s. senator who have called on fairfax to resign. all of them here are running

either for president or exploring a run. we now turn to capitol hill and heated exchanges on friday between the trump administration's acting attorney general and house democrats. during his testimony, before the judiciary committee, matt whitaker has said he has not interfered with the russia probe. democrats say whit kerr failed to answer key questions about his oversight of the investigation. for more, here's jessica snyder in washington. >> reporter: this hearing highlighted the partisan divisions on capitol hill. now after hours and hours of questioning, the committee chair jerold nadler says he is still not satisfied or he believes all of whitaker's testimony after several back and forth testy exchanges. acting attorney general matt whitaker making his first appearance before the house

judiciary committee. >> this hearing is pointless. >> if this is where we will go, we have plenty of theatrics. bring your popcorn. maybe we set up a popcorn machine in the back. >> that is what this is coming. >> it is our understanding that at least one briefing occurred if december before your decision not to recuse yourself on december 19th, christmas day. >> what's the basis for that question, sir? >> yes or no. >> mr. chairman, again, what is the basis for your question, are you saying. >> i am asking the questions, i have five minutes, answer yes or no. >> no, mr. chairman. you were asking me a question. it is your understanding. can you tell me where you get -- >> no, i don't have time to get into that. >> reporter: whitaker at one point trying to cut the chairman off. >> i see your five minutes is up. so -- we, i am here voluntarily. we have agreed to five-minute round and -- >> committee. >> i think that's a fine place to end the five-minute rule.

>> the committee will come to -- i will point out we didn't enforce the five-minute rule on acting attorney general whitaker. >> reporter: whitaker denies any conversations with the president or other white house officials about the special counsel's investigation, which whitaker overseas before or after he took over the top spot at the doj. >> at no time has the white house asked for nor have i promised any promises or commitments concerning the special counsel's investigation or any other investigation. >> it's a yes or no question, have you communicated anything you learned in that briefing about the investigation to president trump? yes or no? >> mr. chairman, as i i've said earlier in my opening remarks, i do not intend to talk about my private conversations with the president of the united states. to answer your question, i have fought talked to the president of the united states about the special counsel's connection investigation. >> reporter: whitaker has come

under fire for denouncing the investigation before he came to the justice department, which commentators says it's not the reason for the hearing. >> it's nothing but character assassination, harassment or our witness. >> reporter: whitaker says he has been fully briefed on the mueller investigation, declined to use the label witch hunt used by the president to describe russia probe. >> i from not interfered with the special counsel's investigation. >> are you overstopping a witch hunt? you'd stop a witch hunt, wouldn't you? >> congressman, it would be inappropriate for me to talk about an ongoing investigation. >> reporter: whitaker not giving an indication how much longer it will last. >> we haven't received a report. bob mueller will finish his investigation when he finishes the investigation. >> reporter: nadler has a list of questions he wants an answer to, including when matthew whit cher had conversations with the

president after those briefings, because nadler sed says he doesn't find whitaker's insistence that he didn't have conversations with the president completely credible. of course the chairman, jerold senate ler is threatening a subpoena, if it's necessary to get those answers. jessi jessica schneider. cnn. under what is called the maginski act, he had 120 days to determine whether the saudi prince was responsible and whether time pose sanctions. the white house says the president doesn't have to act on committee requests. lawmakers such as democrat bob th menendez says he does and is pushing for action. he says, the trump administration shows it has continued to ignore u.s. law to stonewall accountability for the murder of cash oak.

mr. trump has not agreed with the cia conclusion that the saudi crown prince ordered khashoggi's killing. khashoggi, of course, worked for "the washington post" owned by amazon founder jeff bezos. an intriguing part of bezo's explosive blog post alleging he tried to black mail and distort him are questions and ties about the tabloids, saudi arabia and the white house. >> that comes as to whether they violated its immunity deal. >> reporter: the national enquirer's parent company hitting back today at stinging allegations and revelations by amazon founder jeff bezos, saying in a statement, it believes fervently it acted lawfully, it was in good faith negotiations to resolve all matters with bezos. american media inc. or ami

promising to look into the investigation, including what he called distortion and blackmail when ami threatened to leak risque photos of him. sources telling cnn federal prosecutors are looking into his accusations. in his blog post, ami says he had a cozy relationship not just with the trump white house but with saudi arabia, also alleged in published reports. last year ami put out a 97-page flossy magazine heralding the kingdom's new crown prince ahead of the trip to the u.s. the saudi embassy in washington claimed they had no involvement or knowledge with prince mohammed bin salmon on the cover. a man the cia has concluded ordered the vital murder of khashoggi of the washington post, bezos owns. the associated press says according to sources nbc officials got a copy of the pro kingdom magazine about three

weeks before it came out. today a top saudi official says he has no idea of any relationship with ami, adding it's like a soap opera and told cnn as far as he knows the saudis did not press ami to publish negative stories about bezos. the biggest of which was the expose on bezo's extra marital affair was an alleged payback for his dogged reporting of president trump and the saudi crown prince's role in the khashoggi record. trump and pecker have a long documented history, paying a catch and kill fee to karen mcdougal, once before the 2016 election with her alleged affair with trump, help denies. pecker then flipped, cooperating with robert mueller's team to detail those payments made by trump's lawyer. >> that turn didn't dampen the president's rejoicing and requires a splashy story about bezo's infidelity, calming the

amazon ceo jeff bozo on twitter and says this about his looming divorce of his wife of 25 years. >> i wish him luck. it's going to be a beauty. >> reporter: no doubt, this is a complex web of personal history. bezos without prove is saying here is clear, that ami had reasons to protect and promote the saudis. in his newspaper, "the washington post" and their relentless coverage of the khashoggi murder angered ami's friends, driving home the point of his afared and the attempted black mail were politically motivated. steven earlstevenlinger joi. where do we start? jeff bozos, versus the national enquirer versus saudi arabia. >> and trump. it's an amazing set of

inquiries. the most interesting thing is bezos was deeply embarrassed about his affair. it's turned into a hero of free speech fighting back against a really revolting newspaper, the national enquirer, which we know had deals with michael cohen to protect donald trump during the campaign from stories that he, himself, had affairs. and it is very -- talking about his upcoming divorce is an experience which trump had fences with divorces himself. so it's very complicateled. bezos is rich enough and powerful enough to be able to say, okay, i'll do what you want, but i'm not going to lie back and be intimidated. i think it's very powerful and very important. >> yes, i'm curious, you know,

bezos in his blog post actually printed the letters from the national enquirer, perhaps they're not used to someone playing hardball with them like that? >> i think that's true, also as he said, if someone like me, he's probably the wealthiest person on earth is willing to be intimidated, then what hope does anyone else have? and ownership of the washington post is really a sector in all of this, he used a strange word for him,.[ inaudible ] but he has done a great deal with the washington post to make it a much better paper and obviously the "post" goes after trump and trump goes after bezos. that's not to say that trump was behind all this. but the mystery is how did the national enquirer get these private e-mails and photos? and that meant that bezos was

trying to find when ami the company that owns the enquirer threatened to publish more if he didn't stop. >> we'll continue to follow that one. but i want to ask you about congress wanting to hear from president trump on the killing of jamal khashoggi. but there hasn't been a response whether it was ordered by the crown prince. why is the white house staying mum? >> well, they are violating the law, congressman dated a response. here i think they had some sympathy with the realists in the white house who understand that saudi arabia is an important ally of the united states, that the crown prince is not going anywhee as some people hoped he would, that he'd be pushed aside, that's not happening. and so it's very an eclectic moment. i think the white house and trump know very well what

happened, but it's not for the relationship to go blip about it and some of the same people have to say who decry national interest quality of the trump white house are also decrying violence on khashoggi when, in fact, there are i think compelling national interest reasons for trump to keep his mouth shut on this one. i want to pivot now to the acrimoney we saw, the testimony in washington. the acting attorney general, contentious might be the word of the day. someone called him snarky. it's tough to say the word snarky the question, was he credible, forthcoming at all if responding to democrats? >> well it was always going to

be hostile and, you know, i think whitaker, people who suspect he's not the person they want in the job and is respectful of the right of congress, but he answered some questions about whether or not he spoke to trump about the investigation. he was reluctantly saying that he wouldn't speak about confrontations, but, no, he hadn't. you want to show he was respectful. it will be interesting to see if jerry nadler the chairman of the committee brings whitaker back under subpoena. there are still questions to answer. for the first act of the show it

was intentertaining, i thought. >> thank you for your time. >> thanks, natalie. u.s. aid for venezuela is still stuck in colombia. it's not going anywhere. so many people are in need. look at that. the opposition leader wants to bring that in. the president says there is no need. we'll have the latest on the ongoing standoff there. als, seattle bracing for another round of snow, look what they've already gotten. derek joins with us that coming up here. and our breakthrough brightening eye cream. boosted with vitamin c. get your new beauty fix. ony olay.

. venezuelan president nicholas maduro continues to refuse humanitarian aid from the united states. he placed troops at the border of colombia to prevent supplies entering his country. opposition leader juan guaido warned the military against taking such action. maduro insists venezuelans don't need the help. >> reporter: humanitarian aid has become a show to justify intervention at the country. as the cheap show aimed at humiliating venezuelans, humiliate us. then they come to take $20 million to say beckers. -- beggars. put out your hands. we beg for nobody. >> we have spoken clearly to the

armed forces. it is now a humanitarian issue to prohibit the aid which i insist is destined to save lives in this first stage could be considered as a crime against humanity. >> the relief items are currently stockpiled in neighboring colombia. it's unclear if they will ever reach the rzen people the open six says he'll try to deliver them next week. cnn's isa suarez has more from the colombian-venezuelan border. >> reporter: flour, vegetable oil, rice, medical kits, nutritional supplements. this is the first batch of u.s. aid coming into colombia, stand income a warehouse at the moment waiting to be going into venezuela. we are about 300 meters or so from that block aid in on the venezuelan side of this bridge and this aid is going to be waitsing here until there is a decision exactly to you to take

it into the country. let's be realistic here, this is a trop in the ocean for what the people of venezuela truly need. to give you a sense of why i'm saying this, because of this, emergency medical supplies. this is for 10,000 people for a period of 90 days. there are more than 30 million venezuelans here in the country. juan guaido said last week 300,000 people are in need, almost to the need of dying because of medical supplements. this is more of a symbolic move. it is the latest political chess move to put pressure on maduro and pressure more importantly on the soldiers to let this in. we heard from a representative here in colombia. i want you to listen to what had to say. he had this message to the soldiers on the other side of the venezuelan border.

take a listen. >> translator: i want to send a message to the army men who are a few meters away from us and can hear us. soldiers, this help is also for you. here comes food for your children. here comes medicine for the people that are suffering. here comes help for the children. your job is not to condemn them. it is to help them. >> reporter: we heard a similar message from the u.s. ambassador in colombia, who said this here is legal and it is urgent. now, really the pressure remains how long this will be here? how long until it goes across the boarder? it truly depends on the venezuelan soldiers to see it's appealing to their humanity has any impact on whether those three shipments move at all. isa suarez on the

venezuelan-colombia border. president trump says hanoi, vietnam will be the site of his next meeting with hanoi next month, hanoi and da nang were said to be the top contenders to hold the second u.s.-north korea summit on february 27th and 28th. the announcement came via a tweet from the president. he writes he looks forward to seeing kim, promising the north will become an economic rocket. well the governor of washington state has declared a state of emergency and it is brutal there. derek is here to tell us more about it and to show it. >> yeah. it is specifically in seattle. you don't really think about seattle as a snowy deficit nation. you know, you think about the pacific northwest being so flat and rainy. right. exactly. they only average over about six inches of snowfall, which is a few more inches than we get near in atlanta, georgia. look at the scene, you will see

it's much different than people are accustomed to they're taking skis to work. look at the wind to accompany in the storm. brutal wind chills there below zero in some instances, we got a parade of storms lining up across the pacific northwest. this is not only one chance of snowfall right now. but there are several leaning up with a bit of days to come. over the course of a year, they typically see 6.8 inches. this snowfall event alone is between 6-to-8 inches. in fact, some of the snoefrls totals in and around seattle have topped over a foot. this is outside of the city center, by the way. the seattle-tacoma airport set a daily record snowfall event yesterday 6.4 inches. the last time they saw over 8 inches was in 1990. >> that puts it into perspective how rare this amount of snowfall actually is. there is more snow to come. the radar here lighting up like a christmas tree.

it shows it continues to snow across the pacific northwest. 20 million americans under a winter advisory or warning. more snow to come. once again across the sierra mountain range, they are expected to see feet of snow. look at the storms lining up across the west coast. speaking of the western u.s., we will bring you to the central pacific. not much going on there at the moment. but a kona low is set to batter north and wet-facing shorelines of this area with over 15-foot waves. dangerous people for anyone within property in this region. extremely dangerous conditions expected there. they are closing the beaches. you know the surfers are getting excited. >> not a good landscape right now. >> i would say so. >> thanks the toledo wall and the hard place, pressure is building on president trump to take whatever deal congress

gives him and avoid another government shutdown. >> that story coming next. plus, u.s. lawmakers asking the trump administration to dig deeper into whether saudi arabia is letting american weapons slide into tariff hands. the latest innovation from xfinity

million for what they call border barriers and that is below the 5.7 billion president trump has been demanding. for more about it, here's caitlin collins at the white house. >> reporter: president trump keeping his distance from reporters after he spent the morning fuming about the russia investigation calling it a giant and illegal hoax. the president at walter reed medical center this afternoon for his yearly physical exam as he appears to show new flexibility on his demand for a border wall now he is facing limited options and another shutdown. >> i don't think anybody questions his legal authority to declare a national emergency. >> reporter: one week before the government is scheduled to run out of money again, sources tell cnn republicans and democrats have traded proposals, which so far included around $2 billion for physical bar areas, farp

below what trump demanded. >> not 2.5. no, we're asking for 5.6. >> reporter: it remains unclear if the president would accept the latest numbers, meeting at the white house, republican richard shelby sounded hopeful. >> we had a positive meeting is all i can tell you. >> reporter: negotiators hope to reach a deal tonight. now those talks will likely stretch throughout the weekend. asked about the odds of another government shutdown, one republican says this. >> nil or next to nil. in this situation, there is no appetite on either side of the aisle i think in either chamber for another government marshall shutdown. >> reporter: though the white house claimed otherwise. >> we're on the verge of a government shutdown again because democrats won't come to the table. >> reporter: now the president didn't speak to reporters upon his arrival back at the white

house after undergoing that yearly physical. in the meantime, nick mulvane invited bipartisan workers up to camp david to discuss the funding on capitol hill, even though one negotiator is someone invited to camp david. they said it's essentially more a meet-and-greet. the government comes up with no money in less than a week. it's hard to see how it won't come up. u.s. lawmakers are demanding the trump administration investigate whether american weapons are used to harm civilians in yemen. it comes days after cnn's exclusive report for u.s. sales to saudi arabia and coalition allies are falling into dangerous hands. >> reporter: in the lead-up to the february 9th deadline for u.s. secretary of state mike

pompeo to certifyo t as to the conduct of the saudi-led coalition with regard to protection and compliance with arms sales agreements with the u.s., a bipartisan letter has been sent by senator gene shaheen calling upon secretary of state mike pompeo to hold saudi arabia to account. citing cnn's own reporting in its investigation that shows the uae and saudi arabia as a part of the coalition in yemen were in violation of the terms of their armed sales agreements with the united states. secretary pompeo has to not only process this letter but what came just hours of that letter was sent where a group of bipartisan senators, including trump ally lindsey graham called for greater accountability. they called for what they called the end to moral commissionipli

the killing of jamal khashoggi and the conduct in the war in yemen. they said that, too, the trucks of that bill was also spurred by cnn's reporting. some what happens now? we've reached out to the state department to get a sense of whether secretary of state mike pompeo will be recertifying if the coalition is compliant. we've received no letter from them. we have reached out to the senate's offices to ask, what's the next step if the secretary of state does find the coalition in compliance? at the moment they say they're mulling their options. but it's clear that there is definitely a drum beat of tension between congress, between u.s. lawmakers and the administration on their continuing unfettered support for the saudi-led coles. the -- coalition. there is clearly an impasse up

ahead. the man that shot and killed six people in canada will serve life in prison with no chance of parole for 40 years. he had pleaded guilty to killing muslims gathered to pray at a mosque in quebec city in 2017. the judge called the massacre a hate crime because he targeted muslims. tragedy strikes a football facility. ten young players are dead because of a fire. how did it happen? we'll have this story.
