the president revealed his pick for a new fbi director. >> here is how he did it. he was on twitter this morning saying i will nominate christopher a.wran, a man of impeccable credentials. wray would take over for fired fbi director james comey who will be testifying before the senate intelligence committee tomorrow. that's all part of the russia investigation. we've got this covered starting with nbc justice correspondent pete williams. pete, good morning to you. what do we know about christopher wray? >> at age 50, one of the younger nominees the president considered. unlike others, he has law enforcement experience in the local and national levels. graduate of yale and yale law school. after private practice he joined the u.s. attorney's office early in his career and then came to washington to work in the justice department in various senior capacities. he then served as assistant attorney general in charge of

the criminal division from 2003 to 2005. that was under george w. bush. during that time, his immediate boss was the deputy attorney general, and that person was james comey. since then he was in private practice, recently in the headlines serving as defense lawyer for governor of new jersey chris christie during the bridgegate scandal. the white house says the only finalist was john pistole, the former number two at the fbi and then administrator of the tsa. >> pete, that's the classic resume for an fbi director. what do you know about what went on behind the scenes as the president was trying to make this pick? >> it is not an easy job to fill. you might ask yourself who would want this. we know the white house talked to at least a dozen people and some of them bowed out. for one thing, accepting this nomination is making a ten-year commitment. that's the nominal term for the fbi director, assuming they

don't get fired. robert mueller, in fact, served a total of 12 years. fbi and justice department career people like the fact that chris wray has federal law enforcement experience, he worked closely with local fbi agents in atlanta and then at headquarters as the assistant attorney general. i think people are relieved the president didn't choose a political figure. now chris wray's main task in his confirmation hearing will be convincing the senate he'll be independent of the white house and the president who nominated him. then, if confirmed, he'll have the delicate dance of figuring out his exact role in the russia investigation being run by robert mueller, who knows more about the fbi than probably any other living person. >> a big job. pete williams, thank you. new developments. a report then fbi director james

comey asked attorney general jeff sessions to keep him from being alone with the president ever again, after all this happened after a tense white house meeting. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is at the white house with that part of the story. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. insiders are casting tomorrow's comey testimony as the political equivalent of the super bowl. beginning momentarily right now in here in washington, some of the nation's top law enforcement and intelligence officials are going to testify before that same senate intelligence committee. it comes amid new questions about the lengths the president went to try to shut down the russia investigation and new reports that the president's attorney general even offered to resign. 24 hours ahead of james comey's senate testimony, director of national intelligence dan coats takes his turn in the spotlight. he told associates that trump asked him to intervene with then

fbi director comey to get the investigation off the russia, and michael flynn. it reports that the president asked everyone to leave the room except for coats and mike pompeo. coats says he has never felt pressured by the president or anyone. also this morning, "the new york times" reports the day after president trump asked comey to end his investigation into flynn, comey told attorney general jeff sessions he did not want to be left alone again with the president. while comey believed the attorney general should protect the fbi from white house influence, the times reports sessions couldn't guarantee the president wouldn't try to talk to comey alone again. when asked about comey's upcoming testimony, the president said only this. >> i wish him luck. >> reporter: sources close to comey tell nbc news, when he testifies thursday, he's likely to detail a pattern of what he

believed were inappropriate conversations with the president about the russia investigation, but he's not expected to accuse president trump of obstruction of justice. white house aides and the president's allies are already looking to contain any potential damage. one pro-trump group set to air this add attacking comey's credibility. >> james comey, just another d.c. insider only in it for himself. >> reporter: late tuesday the president's son eric lashing out at those who oppose his father's administration. >> i've never seen hatred like this. to me they're not even people. it's so, so sad. moverality is just gone, morals out the window. >> reporter: new details about the president and his attorney general. a source close to the administration describing trump's huge level of frustration with sessions, not just for in his eyes unnecessarily recusing himself from the russia inquiry. but monday morning quarterbacking other things. sean spicer refusing to say

whether the president has lost confidence in sessions. >> i have not had a discussion with him about that. >> reporter: again, multiple reports ha the attorney general jeff sessions offered to resign at one point in recent months after his relationship with the president grew increasingly tension. "the new york times" reporting that sessions told president trump he needed the freedom to do his job. the department of justice is declining the comment. the white house is declining any questions about the russia investigation to the president's outside lawyer. matt and savannah. >> shaf vannah will travel to washington and join chuck and lester tomorrow morning for james comey's testimony. we'll have special live coverage on the nbc stations starting at 10:00 eastern time. this morning, another big breaking story. a pair of deadly attacks in iran's capital. gunmen stormed the building in tehran this morning and then blew himself up.

in a second attack, a suicide bomber at the shrine of the ayatollah khomeini. these were the first terrorist incidents in tehran in more than a decade. isis has reportedly claimed responsibility. let's get more with nbc's national security analyst jeremy bash who has been keeping an eye on this situation. >> jeremy, as savannah said, is a rarity. we don't see attacks like this inside iran, especially tehran very often. if this is isis, what message are they send? >> they're trying to attack the shia capital in tehran as part of a broader regional conflict between the sunni of isis and the shia of iran. they've been fighting not only in that part of the middle east, but in syria. >> the question is beyond the adversarial nature of their relationship, now that there's actual wli terrorism in the borderers of iran itself, the

capital of iran, what retaliation might there be? >> the concern of u.s. officials is that iran would retaliate not just against isis elements, but against the saudi arabian government, a key u.s. partner in the region. this could be a spark that could ignite a major regional conflict. >> a lot of people watching this one closely. jeremy, thank you very much. we've got dramatic new video to show you this morning of a brazen attack on police outside the famed notre dame cathedral in paris. the suspect armed with a hammer and knives shouting "this is for syria" before he was shot and wounded. nbc's keir simmons has that story. >> reporter: the attack, terrifying and sudden. the assailant armed with a hammer, launches at a police officer. the crowd panics in the security camera footage as another officer opens fire. tourists left fleeing, the assailant shot in the leg, surrounded.

ashley, on vacation from north carolina took this picture of the attacker on the ground. >> lying over there and i wasn't sure if he was alive, if he was dead. >> that's the assailant surrounded by armed police. >> reporter: this morning, a show of force at the world famous notre dame cathedral. adds it's merged, the man was armed with just a hammer and knives. nbc confirming his first name farid, a phd student in journalism who a french judicial source tells us left a video in his apartment pledging allegiance to isis. unlike the jihadists in london last weekend, this man was not on the intelligence radar. france under a state of emergency after a string of jihadist attacks, some near tourist spots like the louvre and the champs-elysees. and the 2015 coordinated attacks in paris, 130 dead, more than 350 injured. during this latest attack, hundreds of people sought sanctuary inside the cathedral,

ordered to put their hands in the air, while just outside, once again, fear in the heart of par paris. >> that was once again keir simmons reporting from paris. new fallout to tell you about over the explosive leak of a top secret nsa document that details russian attempts to hack into u.s. election systems right before voting day. a top lawmaker is warning this is just the tip of the iceberg. we're hearing from the parents of reality winner who is the person charged with leaking the documents. gabe gutierrez has more. >> since february reality winner worked as a security contractor in augusta, georgia. now she's in jail, the first person arrested in the intelligence leak case under the trump administration. to some, 25-year-old reality lee winner is a trader, to others a patriot. the top secret government document she's accused of

leaking is setting off a firestorm. >> i have difficulty in believing that she actually did this, what they're saying she did. >> reporter: her mother and stepfather say she is not highly political, although she once called donald trump an orange fascist on twitter. >> reporter: prosecutors say winner admits leaking the explosive document to "the intercept." >> any disclosure of classified or sensitive information can threaten our national security. >> reporter: the top secret document revealing russian intelligence targeted local election officials and the company providing software for the 2016 election. the top den krat on the senate intelligence committee tells "usa today" he doesn't think votes were affected. >> the extent is much broader than what's been reported so far. >> reporter: a week ago she was a yoga instructor, studying to become a massage therapist, an air force vet with top security

clearance, she worked for a secretive nsa contractor at fort gordon in georgia. federal agents arrested her on saturday. >> her words to me, she was scared they were going to make hir disappear. >> reporter: are you scared where this goes? >> i am so scared. i fear they're going to make an example out of her. i fear there's anger from the toward toward her and i fear something bad is going to happen. >> reporter: their daughter is due in court on thursday. she has not yet entered a plea. former nsa whistle-blower edward snowden has come out in support of winner, writing online she should be freed on bail. matt and savannah. >> gabe, thank you. dramatic new testimony at bill cosby's trial. the woman at the center of her case telling her story publicly for the first time, claiming the comedian drugged and sexually assaulted her at his home. nbc's stephanie gosk is at the courthouse in norris town,

pennsylvania. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. andrea constand is back on the stand today. you can be sure her story will be picked apart again by a defense team determined to undermine her credibility. constand says she saw cosby as a friend, as a mentor and he nodded yes when she asked if the pills he was about to give her >> reporter: outside the courthouse we caught up with her civil attorney. >> how did it go today? >> i thought she exited immense composure and bravery. it's very marred to talk about intimate details like that in a room full of people. >> reporter: constand told the jury soon after bill cosby gave her three blue pills in his home in 2004, i began to slur my words. i said to cosby, i see two of you. constand says he moved her to a

couch, telling the court in a shaky voice, i was trying to get my hands to move and my legs to move, but i was frozen. unable to fight back, she say, cosby molested her, adding, i wanted it to stop. the defense team will focus a lot of attention on what happened next. constand maintained contact with cosby, at least 72 poen calls. >> mr. cosby, how are you feeling today. >> reporter: even accepting tickets for her family to attend one of his shows. she told the jury, i did not have the courage at the time to tell my family. so i just went along with it. after a year she shared her story with her mother. the defense team wanted to know why she looked into civil attorneys before telling the police. i wasn't familiar with who i needed to call, constand said. i reached out to them for guidance and to get advice. dozens of women have accused cosby of inappropriate sexual contact. the comedian denies all the allegations. after court on tuesday, he least

seemingly in good spirits. slipping into a role that almost everyone remembers. constand was unrattled by questions about inconsistencies in her statements to police or any suggestion that she was just out to sue cosby for money. but it's not over. on her way out, one of the defense attorneys for cosby says we are just getting started. matt? >> all right, stephanie gosk at the courthouse in pennsylvania this morning, thank you. a lot more news to get to this morning including this one. the search for a suspect in a bizarre incident in atlanta. it was caught on a dashboard camera. watch this. a woman leaving a grocery store parking lot monday when seemingly out of nowhere, a man rushes towards the car, jumped on the hood, smashed the windshield with his foot. she drove off to get away. she turned the video over to police and they're hoping somebody will recognize that man and turn him in. back to the dramatic video from the america's cup race. we showed you this at the top of

morgan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. now, 20 years old, michelle carter is sitting trial for allegedly encouraging her own boyfriend to take his life. so, the question facing the judge today, can one person be held legally responsible for the suicide of another. an emotional first day in court. the heartbroken loved ones of conrad roy, wiping away tears a few feet away from michelle carter, accused of encouraging roy of killing himself. >> this case is a suicide case. it is not a homicide. >> she pushed him to kill himself sooner rather than later. and she mocked him when he chose to delay his death. >> reporter: prosecutors say carter coerced roy to end his life by text messages. they displayed disturbing texts, that the 17-year-old sent roy before his death. tonight is the night, she wrote. it's now or never. roy texts, i'm overthinking.

carter responded, i thought you wanted to do this. the time is right. you're ready. you just need to do it. roy drove to this parking lot and filled his pickup truck with carbon monoxide. when he left the car, carter texted a friend. i told him to get back in. i couldn't have him live that way. >> she assisted and devised and advised and planned his suicide. she reasoned him out of his reservations. >> reporter: if convicted, carter faces up to 20 years in prison. her fate, now in the hands of a single judge after waiving her right to a jury. is manslaughter a reach? >> i think it's a stretch. prosecutors have to prove that she, michelle carter, recklessly caused the death of conrad roy. did she cause his death when he was alone in the car 30 miles away. >> reporter: carter's defense says she should go free, claiming she tried to help roy. but gave in by supporting his plan.

climbs of sexual harassment, bullying and inappropriate behavior inside the company. all this sparked by former engineer, susan fowler, who had unwanted sexual advances from on a a supervisor. it was not only swept under the rug, she was told her boss was a high-performer who management wouldn't feel comfortable punishing. they launched an internal investigation, saying anyone who behaves this way or thinks it's okay, will be fired. they also brought in eric holder to conduct an inquiry at the company. his findings to be publicly announced next week. it comes amid a personal and professional crisis for the ceo. his mother was killed in a boating accident, and his father injured. his company is n the crosshairs,

there were a couple of points where i was crying thinking if i go to bed and never wake up, fine. asked if that meant he was considering suicide, lochte nodded, saying i was about to hang up my entire life. it all stemmed from the controversy last august when lochte claimed he and three teammates were robbed at gun point at a rio gas station. >> and a guy pulled out his gun. he cocked it, put it to my forehead. >> reporter: but the story quickly unravelled. it was revealed that the swimmers vandalized the gas station and were confronted by security guards and told to pay for the damage. lochte apologized in an interview with matt. >> that's why i'm taking full responsibility for it, is because i overexaggerated that story. >> reporter: in the scandal's wake, lochte lost sponsors and was suspended from swimming for ten months. that suspension ends june 30th. and today, the six-time gold medalist says he's in a better place. he is engaged and they're expecting their first child this month.

it might be foolish because you want everybody to have that. let the people be your critic. especially now, writing reviews online. >> i assumed that the critic gets the best they have. but what surprised me, oh, that good piece. save that, in case a critic comes in. >> that happens like 5:00 in the afternoon. they go through all of the ingredients and say, that portion right there in case the critic comes in. >> what do you think? >> you're reading the critic's review. and that person is reviewing food that you're not getting when you go to the restaurant. >> exactly. >> it makes no sense. should they disguise themselves, you think? >> i think so. it's like a yelp -- >> the food critic comes in -- >> wonder who that is? >> they don't know if the critic is coming in or not. and they're sitting on a great cut of meat. >> until mr. daly walks in. >> until i show up at midnight. hey. got any center cut? >> carson daly from "pop start." >> of the daly click. explain that in a minute. breaking news this morning, in an issue that hits newsstands

>> reporter: we joined forces with the skin deep, a production studio that explores human connection in the digital age. i'm not making these up. their series "the and" pairs couples, friends and strangers together to have honest and sometimes unexpected conversations. so, we worked with them on a social experiment of our own. we gathered this mixed age group of older generations and asked them a few questions about their younger counterparts. >> they're perfectly happy sitting and texting people on the phone instead of calling them. >> and i'm from the generation where, a gentleman never kisses and tells. today, things are put on the internet that i just sit there and go, whoa. >> reporter: then, we shared their comments with a group of millennials we gathered and gave them a chance to respond. but the millennials didn't know the older group was watching and listening from a hidden room. >> well, all the guys look better than me. so, i'm already in trouble. >> when it comes to relationships millennials

prioritize convenience. while my generation prioritizes love. >> i think it depends on what you want. if you want something convenient, great. if your focus or wanting is on something else, you can go for that something else. >> it's convenience borne out of fear. fear of getting closer to people. fear of repeating the same mistakes that our parents made or our grandparents have made. >> millennials communicate considerably more than my generation does. >> we feel like we have to be in constant communication. if i'm dating someone and i'm at work and they don't text me, i get stressed out. i think they're ignoring me. i think they don't like me anymore. >> i feel the same way. i text my wife in the morning and i haven't heard back. why haven't i heard back from her? >> if you're ghosting someone, then it's like -- >> what does that mean? >> ghosting. it's awful. >> it's cut off communication with someone. >> millennials view marriage as unnecessary, while my generation views marriage as a necessary evil.

that's loaded right there. >> i think that's really harsh, actually. >> when it's right, it's right. when you're in love, you're in love. i don't think it's an unnecessary thing. >> i think we assumed that was the natural step you take in order to have kids together. >> millennials learn about sex from the internet, while my generation learned about sex from friends and a little from parents. >> of course i get this question. of course i do. >> that's good. i wouldn't have learned from about sex from my parents. you know, i think that's for the best. >> hey. how are you doing? >> good. >> now, it was time to bring the two groups face-to-face. being a representative of the older generation, one that's about to die, let's bring the other -- we have other folks. you're watching these young folks talk. what was the first thing that struck you? >> how self-aware they are. and how nice that is, compared to our generation, i think. >> speak for yourself.

>> no, no. i agree. i agree. i was heartened and reassured. and it also reminded me about things in my generation, we might not have had terms like hookup or ghosting people. but i think in our ways, we found ways to push people away. so, it just made me feel actually very connected. >> the big difference i saw was, feelings about marriage. in my generation, really, the purpose of marriage was children. >> i didn't take the time, like you guys are, to get to know myself, to really decide what i wanted in a partner or not. >> we want to be happy with ourselves before we can be happy with someone else. and so, we're getting rid of the time press. >> we said the relationships are more about convenience. and for our generation, love. i'd say it's love. they want to find a partner to love and they want to raise children that will get love. >> reporter: for "today," al roker, nbc news, new york. >> the love doctor.

>> our millennial correspondent. >> right? irony there. in our survey, we asked millennials on a scale of one to five, how important is it for them to get married? just about half of them, a little under half of them said five. so, important. >> i'm curious as my kids get older to figure out if there's more of a difference between me and my parents on these issues or me and my children. >> that's interesting. what do you find? >> i think there's more of a difference between me and my kids. >> you think so? >> i do. because i'm a lot older. >> but well-informed. >> yes, you are. >> thank you. stop it some more. we want to take a moment to talk about the gracie awards. they were presented in los angeles last night. they recognize content for, by and about women. natalie morales was there to accept awards. on our behalf. she won for her series on the women of silicon valley. and the "today" show won on award. >> we won for our interview with chesscy. she is a proud high school
