the early days of the trump presidency. former acting attorney general sally yates testifying she met twice with white house counsel to warn that then national security adviser michael flynn might have been lying to the white house and had discussed president obama's sanctions against the kremlin for election meddling with the russian ambassador despite telling the vice president he hadn't. >> the vice president was unknowingly making false statements to the public and because we believe that general flynn was compromised with respect to the russians. we believe that the russians knew this, and that created a compromised situation, a situation where the national security adviser essentially could be blackmailed by the russians. >> reporter: but flynn remained on the job for 18 days after the initial warning even participating in a phone call between president trump and vladimir putin. in that time it was yates who was fired for not defending trump's controversial muslim travel ban. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states.

outside security zones at the nation's airports and other transit hubs. the new program hopes to integrate all levels of law enforcement to help plug the security gaps. breaking overnight, police say they've arrested the man behind a string of random shootings that terrorized areas of phoenix. 23-year-old aaron saucedo faces 26 felony counts in connection with the shootings that killed nine people. now, police say he randomly stalked his victims, ambushing most of them outside of their hopes and police say there may be more victims. saucedo is already in jail on that other murder-related charge. all right, time now for a look at the nation's weather. that powerful storm system that dumped heavy rain and hail onto southern california did this to coors field in denver. that hail was so thick, the rockies were even forced to

it was offensive, and i hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. >> kimmel also showed some new video of billy. he says that he is getting bigger, he is sleeping well, he even joked that billy can read. >> billy is doing well. just a month after being born. well, still ahead, chaos overnight at a major u.s. airport. the new video just coming in. plus, new details in the death of a penn state fraternity pledge. what the 911 tapes are now revealing as one member speaks out. and let's hope your packages don't get delivered like this. someone is getting ready for a big more training. for the thousands of wounded warriors returning from battle, wounded warrior project has developed the warriors to work program, a unique program that helps wounded warriors translate their military experience to the civilian workplace. the warriors to work program
