7:04 am
michael. the snow is actually slowing here, but the deep freeze is now beginning the lake front. you can hear the crunch sound, that's the ice beneath my feet. take a look at the water here. you can see it's freezing. the ice already building along the lake here. a dangerous polar plunge creating a travel nightmare across the midwest. the subzero freeze the coldest in a generation. >> it doesn't take long, 20, 30 minutes out and your motor skilsz won't really work really well. >> reporter: a state of emergency declared in wisconsin. >> kind of a nightmare for us parents. >> reporter: more than a foot burying streets. these semis shutting down part of interstate 43. in minnesota more than 130 crashes and these people pushing a car out of the mess. plows working double time. a pedestrian killed after being struck. airports crippled.

7:06 am
>> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. we're already below subzero. these temperatures are only going to drop. you can see we have plenty of salt behind me. in extreme temperatures the salt is not effective on the roads. they can't use it when it gets this cold. the other issue it's dangerous being outside. it takes less than half an hour to get frostbite when you're out in these subzero temperatures. parlt of the reason for that, i want my producer brian is holding a thermal camera. you can see i'm completely bundled up. where the zippers on my jacket, that's where the heat is escaping and the cold air is getting in. the other thing to keep in mind, your animals, your pets, you're going to want to make sure you bring them in. robin. >> keep them all warm. okay, if you do have to go

7:11 am
yesterday the acting attorney general matt whitaker had a rare public statement about the timing of the mueller probe. >> reporter: he surprised us all, george, when he started talking about the case and said he's been fully briefed and that he expects that mueller will be wrapping up soon, george. we don't know what that means but we are being told by sources that the mueller investigation could be wrapping up in several weeks. >> and we're going to see michael cohen now not in public testimony before the congress, the president's former lawyer but privately behind closed doors. the house intelligence committee next week. >> reporter: we're hearing february 8th is the date set for that, george. and also we are told that he has two new attorneys. he's hired a former federal prosecutor and also a criminal defense attorney to help him through this process, george. >> thanks very much. also in washington, state of the union set. president trump will deliver the address next tuesday, february 5th, after talking it over with house speaker nancy pelosi yesterday. you'll remember her invitation
7:12 am
was revoked. this will come ten days before the next deadline for a deal. george, now to new developments involving american troops in afghanistan. u.s. and taliban negotiators coming up with a framework of a peace deal that could end america's longest war. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is here. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. u.s. officials say these talks have been very encouraging and productive, that could bring an end to the 17-year war. the taliban is hoping the americans will withdrawal all of its 14,000 troops in exchange for a cease-fire and other promises. there's already a withdrawal of half of those troops planned. but president trump has made clear he wants out of afghanistan eventually, but present and former u.s. officials have been warning trump that a complete withdrawal of our forces would leave the u.s. vulnerable to terrorist attacks. "the new york times" says that some aides have used an intelligence assessment that says a complete withdrawal of american troops could lead to an attack on the u.s. within two years. the acting defense secretary was asked yesterday if he has been
7:13 am
making plans for a complete withdrawal. he said he has not been asked to do that. but that is possible, robin, if this peace agreement goes forward. >> all right, martha, thank you. >> thank you, robin. now to new fears about the growing measles outbreak. a state of emergency has been declared in washington state as the number of confirmed cases climbs to 35. our chief national correspondent matt gutman is in vancouver, washington, with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. to put all of that into context before this outbreak, clark county hadn't seen a single case of the measles in eight years, and this outbreak is expected to grow largely because of the exposures you just mentioned at the trail blazers arena and at the airport. i'm told there could be dozens of people walking around with the measles whose symptoms have not yet presented. the measles is spectacularly contagious and it can linger in the air for two hours after an infected person has left the room.
7:14 am
it's one of the reasons that we've seen the number of cases nationwide triple just since last year. in new york state alone there are 180 cases and i'm told most of those cases are people who have not had their children vaccinated, george, and one thing that's important if you do es t go to the emergey om, you could infect others. just call your doctor first. >> makes a lot of sense. okay, matt, thanks very much. now to those new concerns about facetime. a glitch affecting the popular iphone feature discovered overnight that allow users to eavesdrop on your conversations and access your camera even if you don't answer. have they addressed it? >> they are beginning to but this is an important warning this morning for anyone with an iphone, ipad or mac, this newly discovered bug means someone could be using facetime to spy on you. the major glitch uncovered overnight lets a facetime caller immediately hear the audio from your phone before you have accepted or rejected a facetime request. it essentially turns your phone
7:15 am
into a hot mike letting callers eavesdrop on you, even lets them access your camera, without your knowledge. in a statement apple says we're aware of this issue, we have identified a fix that will be released in a software update later this week. plus, george, they've temporarily disabled the group facetime feature. >> the group facetime feature was that one that could have been corrupted. >> there are potentially millions at risk for this. the issue is the 12.1 ios update that came out in october is the thing that the bug has move its way through. if you updated your phone in the last couple of months you very likely could be impacted. there is something that anyone out there can do. i did it on my way in to work. you open up the settings, you go to facetime, and you turn it to off. there is the little toggle button there. turn it to off. that will automatically keep you safe from this and apple -- >> i can't talk to my kids. >> well, you'll have to text with them, george. >> you turn it on when you want
7:16 am
to talk to them and turn it off when you are done. >> exactly. also, apple is releasing the update everyone should download when it comes out. >> i'll miss the girls. i'll miss seeing them. too bad. >> it'll be all right. they'll understand. now we're going to go to the big game, talking about the super bowl, just five days away, and last night both teams took center stage at opening night. the two quarterbacks, tom brady and jared goff right there next to each other and t.j. holmes is here with more and, t.j., brady was asked if he had any advice for the young quarterback. >> strahan, during your career, did you ever give advice to your opponent? no, of course you didn't. brady didn't do it either. a lot of emphasis on brady versus goff. the old guy versus the newcomer. talk about expectations, it's more of a surprise that brady not goff is a super bowl quarterback. super bowl liii festivities are officially under way in atlanta. and tom brady and the patriots
7:17 am
in particular rob gronkowski are keeping things loose. >> can't wait to hear from the dancing gronk, brady is loving it. >> reporter: the patriots are making their third straight appearance in the super bowl and brady is looking for his sixth ring. he came face-to-face with the rams quarterback jared goff who was in elementary school when brady won his first super bowl. >> what sort of advice would you give this guy as he gets ready to take on the big bad patriots? >> i'm not giving him any advice. are you crazy? >> reporter: the two quarterbacks are separated by the largest age gap, 17 years, 72 days of any starting quarterback match-up in super bowl history. >> for me growing up, you know, he was winning super bowls when i was young, when i was 7, 8 years old, so impressive and a guy that i had looked up to throughout my whole childhood. >> reporter: check out the similarities. both quarterbacks grew up in the
7:18 am
bay area, both were 49ers fans. both are huge fans of quarterback joe montana. brady calls montana his idol, goff even wears montana's old number, 16. brady ultimately praised his young quarterback counterpart on what he's accomplished so far. >> first pick in the draft, a lot of expectation and he's had an incredible year. >> all right, brady was drafted 199th. goff 1 overall so different expectations. but they both end up in the super bowl. >> i don't like that. no way i want to be around my opponent like that before the game. i don't want to see you. i don't want to talk to you. >> or give you any advice. >> afterwards we're cool. >> during, no. no, no, not at all. sam is always cool. what you got, sam? >> just one important thing, washington to new york, three to 9:00 p.m. tonight is that icy rain changeover. here's your tuesday trivia.

following this morning. two-thirds of the country facing plunging temperatures, the midwest bracing for record cold. temperatures falling well below zero and windchills in some areas could drop more than 60 degrees below. and in those types of conditions, frostbite can begin in less than five minutes. and president trump's longtime adviser roger stone is heading to federal court this morning to face charges in the russia investigation. this, as a top official overseeing robert mueller's work, says it may now be close to completion. have you seen this video? very scary moment on the tarmac in england. strong winds making difficult for planes to take off and to land. >> oh, boy. >> a tough one for pilots. thankfully there were no reports of any kind of incidents, but, boy, being on one of those flights. >> that's scary to watch. >> yeah. >> time for a ground stop. >> you would think, right? we move to the new fallout over the fyre festival. kendall jenner and bella hadid facing new questions about how
7:32 am
much they were paid to promote the event and a judge demanding answers. paula faris is here with the details. good morning, paula. >> good morning, george. >> reporter: the models appeared in a slick promotional video sipping cocktails, racing around the island on private boats. they're believed to be a large reason why the festival was able to sell so many tickets. >> what's happening? there's no water over there. >> reporter: this morning, on the heels of those two newly released documentaries, the heat surrounding the infamous fyre festival is now reaching a boiling point. that disastrous music festival has already imploded ja rule's public image and landed organizer billy mcfarland in prison for fraud, and now, more celebrities are being swept up in the controversy. a judge has approved a request to subpoena records from kendall jenner as well as the agencies who represented bella hadid and hailey bieber and other among models collectively paid $5 million to build buzz for that now failed festival.
7:33 am
at the heart of the issue, the promotion including this now infamous video announcement. >> the actual experience exceeds all expectations and is something that's hard to put into words. >> reporter: according to court records, the agency img models was paid a whopping 1.2 million to provide top talent to appear in the records also claim that kendall jenner was reportedly paid $275,000 to hype the event in this now-deleted instagram post. the promotion teased lush accommodations and incredible music acts all taking place on a private island in the bahamas, vip packages cost up to $100,000 but instead guests were welcome by broken down tents and broken promises. remember the sandwich now seen around the world, it's a far cry from what was promised in that promo. >> anyone who had ever been involved with event production would have understood this wasn't possible. a wedding planner would have known no way. >> hindsight is always 20/20.
7:34 am
we reached out to img and kendall jenner's team. no comment. you saw kendall jenner's now deleted instagram post seemingly endorsing it. not only did that drive ticket sales but, george, some festivalgoers truly thought the models would be at the party. >> i bet they thought they would. let's bring in sunny hostin, larry hackett, and, sunny, let's walk through the legal process. they got the subpoenas. what happens next? >> this is a bankruptcy proceeding so not a criminal case. no one will be criminally charged at this point so, this is a bankruptcy trustee trying to figure out where is the money. where did the money go and how can the money be retrieved? i think what the -- >> could they have to give up that money? >> it's possible. i think they're trying to get some money back to those who er is the perhaps civil liability for these influencers like the bella hadids and the kendall jenners. i mean, kendall jenner got
7:35 am
$250,000 for one post. and when she posted that, though, she didn't tell her followers that she was getting the 250,000 or $275,000 and so i always say the law takes such a long time to catch up with technology but this fyre festival case is the test case. will influencers now be responsible to their followers for these sort of deceptive claims? >> how much blame should they get and how much will this hurt their brands? >> i think it's fun to blame supermodels for what happened and see if their brands will be damaged. i don't think they should get any blame. billy mcfarland, the promoter, is the guy who's at fault here. i don't think there is anybody who would not have gone if kendall jenner's social media post said i'm getting paid. they know she gets paid for whatever she puts on there. she's worth tens of millions of dollars. i don't think anybody would be deluded by that. >> the question is, is she being deceptive by not telling people that she's getting paid? i mean, is that fraudulent? the ftc, which is the federal agency responsible for protecting consumers like us
7:36 am
from these deceptive practices, sent out letters to 90 influencers, 90 celebrities, saying, huh-uh, when you do this kind of thing, you are going to be held responsible. you must tell people this is a sponsorship ad. this is an advertisement. you are getting paid for it. >> exactly. >> absolutely. so she may be held responsible and i think there is a duty to tell us. >> again, i don't think anybody in real life who's planning to go would not have gone if they had known kendall jenner and the other models got paid. i don't think that's what the influencing is about. i think they're fully aware everything they do is transactional. >> but did they expect kendall to be there? >> well, that's a whole other issue. what billy mcfarland was selling and fyre was selling is as old as the hills, right? pretty women, sun and sand and this has been going on since -- this is the 50th anniversary of woodstock. while it may have been different they were selling the same kind of thing, get together with your friends and have a party in the woods. >> but they're selling an experience.

we're back now with that backlash over the new film about notorious serial killer ted bundy. the movie starring zac efron isn't even out yet, but the trailer has some worried it's romanticizing one of the most brutal murders in history. amy is here with more on that. good morning, amy. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, robin. we all remember ted bundy was executed 30 years ago, in fact, last week after eventually confessing to sexually assaulting and killing over 30 young women. the director of this new film says it is not meant to glorify bundy but to show him as he was, handsome, charming and ultimately a monster. >> what do you say we get out of here? >> reporter: a new movie about serial killer ted bundy has yet to be released, but already the film's trailer is making headlines. >> what is this about this guy? >> i feel it. >> reporter: zac efron will portray bundy in the evil flick but some are slamming the new
