world. today, tuesday, april 10th, 2018. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and welcome to "today." thanks for joining us. we're about to have a baby. we had a baby. we had a baby. >> baby's here. okay. that's how you do it. it was efficient right? we have to say congratulations to seth meyers and his wife. i guess that baby was in a hurry. >> that's a great selfie there. >> we have more on that coming up. it's a busy morning here. let's start with those dramatic raids on the office and home of president trump's personal attorney michael cohen. >> they are drawing a swift and fiery response from the president who claims the move takes the russia investigation to, quote, a whole new level of unfairness. there is a lot to cover here starting with kristen welker at the white house. hey, kristen, good morning.

>> reporter: hi, hoda. good morning to you. this morning president trump is still fuming after the fbi raided the hotel room and home of michael cohen. that's according to two sources close to the white house. he's apparently infuriated that special counsel robert mueller is at the root of the raid and it may all be building to a dramatic confrontation. this morning president trump blasting law enforcement officials. >> it's a total witch hunt and a disgrace. it's frankly, a real disgrace. >> reporter: responding to the dramatic fbi raid monday seizes business records, e-mails, and documents at the new york office and hotel room of his personal attorney michael cohen. cohen is the lawyer who paid adult film star stormy daniels $130,000 just 11 days before the election. daniels says the money was meant to buy her silence about her alleged fair with mr. trump years earlier. an affair the white house denies. >> it's an attack on our country in a true sense.

it's an attack on what we all stand for. >> reporter: law enforcement officials say among the things the fbi is investigating, that payment to daniels which watch dog groups have called a campaign violence. federal prosecutors obtained search warrants for cohen after referral from robert mueller. legal sources say that means mueller found evidence of a potential crime, but he also determined the matter did not involve the russia investigation. president trump fuming and when asked why he doesn't just fire mueller, not ruling out the possibility. >> why don't i just fire mueller? well, i think it's a disgrace what's going on. we'll see what happens. but i think it's really a sad situation when you look at what happened. many people have said, you should fire him. >> reporter: the president also blaming attorney general jeff sessions. >> so he made what i consider to be a very terrible mistake for the country. >> reporter: attacking his decision to recuse himself from the russia investigation that is now overseen by his deputy rod

rosenstein. legal sources say it was rosenstein who gave his approval for the raid. cohen's attorney saying the raid was unnecessary. just last week the president denied any knowledge of the payout to stormy daniels. >> why did michael cohen make those if there was no allegation? >> well, you have to ask michael cohen. michael's my attorney. you'll have to ask michael. >> reporter: this morning questions are mounting about whether the president plans to, in fact, fire mueller. press secretary sarah sanders tells nbc news, his comments stand on their own. in the past, president aides have been quick to dismiss talk of firing mueller. but this time notably no response from the white house. >> all right. kristen welker at the white house, thanks. let's get more on this. ari melker is here. is the president going to fire mooueller over this, it's being

asked. but mueller didn't order this raid. he actually referred it to prosecutors in manhattan who then ordered the raid. correct? >> that's right. bob mueller found something, said, hey, look what i found. that's a criminal referral up to new york. because it involves a president's lawyer and because of the sensitivity of the special counsel probe, it was also looked at by rod rosenstein. >> so they're looking for some kind of crime. we heard some speculation of what it may be. but do you have any more insight on that? >> what we know is that they got a judge to approve this. which means either there's evidence of a crime somewhere in michael cohen's stuff or they're concerned the crime would be objection obstruction. the trump organization was subpoenaed for documents. as you both know, it is very unusual for a lawyer to have their door broken in, in this

case lawfully, to get the stuff. >> and that's exactly where i was going. i mean, in a normal kind of white collar investigation, it's all very polite and civilized, isn't it? we call your lawyer. could you send over this document and maybe you object or not. this is like law and order stuff. you know, they're executing a raid on a lawyer's office. >> exactly. law and order, bust in the door lawfully. it is a huge deal. it is scary. it is unusual. for context, the only other person that actually had this kind of fbi raid conducted in this probe was paul manafort. 96 days later, he was indicted. >> all right. keep us posted. thank veyou very much. another story we're watching closely, is another u.s. attack on syria imminent? that decision could come as early as today after the suspected chemical attack in syria that killed dozens of people. the president saying all options are on the table. peter alexander has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda. good morning to you. the white house within the last

hour abruptly announcing that president trump will not be traveling to south america later this week as planned. instead according to press secretary sarah sanders, he will be staying here at the white house to oversee the u.s. response in syria. president trump huddling with military leaders late monday delivering this warning to syria. >> we're making a decision as to what we do with respect to the horrible attack that was made a. and it will be met. and it will be met forcefully. >> reporter: following what the president condemned as a heinous chemical attack on innocent syrians. the commander in chief promising a response soon. >> we'll be making some major decisions over the next 24 to 48 hours. this is about humanity. we're talking about humanity. and it can't be allowed to happen. >> reporter: last week president trump said he wanted to pull u.s. troops out of syria. now after the attack, the president says nothing's off the table.

so what are his options? more missile strikes nearly a year to the day after the last round. but that assault designed to deter bashar al assad from gassing his own people again failed. the u.s. could also take a more aggressive approach targeting syrian command and control sites. one looming question, will president trump who after the latest attacks singled out putin by name for supporting the regime make russia pay a price? >> does putin bear responsibility? >> he may. and if he does, it's going to be very tough. >> reporter: u.s. ambassador nikki haley insisted america will respond. >> we have reached the moment when the world must see justice done. >> reporter: and russia's warning the u.s. to consider what it calls grave repercussions. >> and peter, the president gave this timeline w, sort of, of 48 hours. what do we expect today? >> reporter: that's a great question. we have learned that the russian military has been jamming some

u.s. drones operating the skies over syria. seriously affecting u.s. military operations there. that's according to four u.s. officials. as for that timeline, we know the president has been consulting with allies. spoke again to french president macron yesterday. the u.s. has been consulting with its british allies. president trump will be hosting here today. as for the last time, it was 72 hours between the attacks and u.s. retaliating. if that holds true, the attacks happened on saturday. so we could see retaliation as early as today. >> it would be interesting to hear what is happening from that russian intervention. now to the drama unfolding on capitol hill today. facebook's mark zuckerberg beginning two days of highly anticipated testimony before congress. set to face the music for the company's failure to protect your information.

nbc's joeling kent is on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning to you. this is the hot seat zuckerberg will take as he faces questions from 44 senators. he's expected to address issues of user privacy and answer questions on how he may be able to win back your trust. today facebook ceo and founder mark zuckerberg will face off with congress beginning two days of marathon testimony on capitol hill. the billionaire expected to receive an intense krigrilling r the cambridge analytica scandal. the spread of fake news. and the failure to protect user data. the big questions he'll likely be asked, why did executives wait so long to disclose what they knew. how can the company ensure similar errors aren't made in the future? and should facebook allow targeted advertisers. coming after a five hour offensive on monday meeting with high ranking lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

>> he knows that there is going to be a hard look at regulation. >> mark, are you putting pock ts over people? do you have comments for people that can't trust facebook anymore? >> reporter: putting even more pressure on zuckerberg who ignored dozens of questions from nbc news. but he insists he's not resigning saying i'm very confident we're going to work through these issues. and "the new york times" reports a team has been hired to transform the ceo's image. from a coder to someone with humility and charm. his image recent fodder for late night comedy. >> begin eye contact. two, three, and away. nailed it. >> reporter: in an interview here on "today," facebook coo sheryl sandberg saying zuckerberg is prepared. >> do you think mark needs to apologize in that very public setting?

>> mark has apologized. i know he's prepared to apologize anywhere we have responsibility. mark's message to congress is that he wants to be there to answer all of their questions. and he wants to tell them the steps we're taking. >> reporter: you can see here the interest here in this senate hearing room is expected to be massive. there's all kinds of extra seating that has been added to this room. this comes as zuckerberg also announced a new research commission. they want to study the impact of social media on democracy and elections. but today after hours of testimony, he won't be done. he faces the house tomorrow morning. guys? >> all right, jo. thanks. for more on what mark zuckerberg will face, we're joined by kara swishier. she's the executive editor of recode. good morning. >> hi. >> no pressure on mark. he's going to be sitting there today. so what does he need to do to call this whole experience a success for him? >> well, i mean, he's got to answer questions. very clearly on what happened. instead of just saying i'm sorry

which he'll say a lot and has said a lot in prepared testimony about how it's his responsibility which should go without saying. he's got to really understanding about what took so long, what they're going to do, how it happened. very specific questions. and facebook's been very slow to do this over a year -- more than a year since this sort of started to begin to be clear that it was a problem. >> what are the stakes here, kara, for facebook? they talked about regulation. it's kind of a wild west as you know. you cover silicon valley. what could they be facing? and they sort of act like maybe we should be regulated. do they mean it? >> well, you know, they have to be. chnology is not very reguled compared to ny other industries. so it's coming especially around privacy. the look is who's going to be part of deciding what's going to happen. i think that's the real issue. obviously tech companies don't want to be overly regulated.

but we'll see what happens in congress. i'm not sure what could happen. >> zuckerberg, of course, is kind of a larger than life character at this point. i mean, everybody knows him as the boy genius and he wears his t-shirt although not today. you've interviewed him many times. for those who think he's going to be ready for this, is he grown up enough. do you take a view he's shrewd and ready? >> yeah. you know, i think a lot of people with this boy genius stuff, he's 33 years old and has two children. we need to stop calling him a boy. this idea we sort of juvenilize these men from silicon valley as if they don't have responsibility is kind of ridiculous. he has a responsibility. he's the ceo of facebook. they had a major mess here and they've got to clean it up. it's his job to do so. >> kara swishier, thank you so much. nbc news, by the way, is going to carry this. we'll have special coverage of his hearing this afternoon. also all day on msnbc and a full

wrapup on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. we have a big surprise to tell you about. but first al is here with our first check of the weather. >> say it ain't snow. last week the yankees got their home opener snowed out. this time it was chicago, the cubs at wrigley field. they got snow. and that postponed their home opener. for today, the good news is we've got better weather. take two. we're looking at pirates versus the cubs. sunny skies. 42. a little on the chilly side. they're not the only ones kind of chilly. coldest april starts ever for kansas city. 18 degrees below normal so far. 19 degrees below normal for minneapolis. green bay as well, very cold. but if you're out west, second warmest april start for las vegas, phoenix, and tucson. and the good news is that warm weather is heading east. so for tomorrow, above average temperatures from southern california all the way to chicago where we'll get to 62 degrees tomorrow. 90 in amarillo.

says the bulldog was dead. >> i hope she didn't suffer. but i think she did because for her to die that quickly, she must have been so scared. >> reporter: in a lawsuit, they claim petsmart violated policy by using a drier on the english bulld bulldog, a breed known to be prone to breathing difficulty. in a statement, petsmart insists they follow practices. including the autopsy may show pre-existing conditions. petsmart insists the incidents are separate and unrelated. we love pets and the well-being in our care is something we take seriously. the company directed us to this video on its website. >> you need groomers who are patient, caring, compassionate. >> reporter: petsmart formed a task force to evaluate procedures and calls its grooming safety standards the

wholly inconsistent with the federal equal pay act because women historically earn less than men. the court's decision overturning a 2017 ruling in the case of aileen rizo. he sued the fresno county office of education after finding out she made $13,000 less than a male colleague with less experience and less education. >> i had more experience than he did and more seniority. >> reporter: when she asked her former employer about the disparity, management explained it had based her pay on previous salary. rizo, a mother with two masters degrees, first shared her story with us four years ago, as part of "the shriver report," that focused on women and economic stability. rizo says she is relieved the court ruled on the right side of history. >> you don't let injustice happen and do nothing. >> reporter: according to the

ruling, the gender wage gap costs women in the u.s. more than $840 billion a year. one judge writing, if money talks, the message to women costs more than just billions. women are told they are not worth as much as men, allowing prior valsalary to justify a wa differential entrenches this. an attorney says the office plans to appeal to the u.s. supreme court, saying it remains confident that its policy of determining salaries was gender-neutral, and effective on attracting qualified applicants. we've reached out to the fresno superintendent of schools but have not gotten a response. >> i proved that the world is malleab malleable. that change can happen but i realize for the first time that what one person does can make a
