where giving back is just the beginning. and jimmy fallon weighs in on the white house christmas decorations. >> this is where melania used scrabble titlles to decorate th tree. be best. president trump also has an ornament, it says, witch hunt. early today starts right now. good tuesday morning to you. that post thanksgiving winter storm is still lingering for millions of americans, this dangerous weather system has been dumping incredible amounts of snow. in minnesota they are digging out after getting 20 inches. overnight the storm began ham erring the northeast. these are scenes from all ove meanwhile, we are learning more about a deadly south dakota plane crash linked to dangerous

weather conditions. >> reporter: in a snow covered cornfield in south dakota the tragic end to a thanksgiving weekend hunting trip of 12 family members on board, only three survived. the ntsb now inspecting the remains of the single engine. sources say the plane had been sitting for more than 24 hours before attempting a takeoff around 12:35 saturday on an icy runway. the plane went down a mile from the runway in terrible weather. >> it started out as rain which turned to ice, which then turned to snow mixed with high moo wind conditions. >> reporter: on board a prominent idaho falls family. jim henson and kirk henson were killed along with their father, sons, sons-in-law and a grandson, including two minors. rescuers managed to pull

>> they wanted togone. >> reporter: a horrific accident during one of the year's busiest travel weekends, three millionaire traveler on sunday alone navigating through the storm. with thousands of delays and cancellations continuing on through today. >> thanks to tom costello for that report. we want to turn to breaking news out of the united kingdom, where world leaders are gathering this morning. president trump has arrived in listen don -- london for the 70th anniversary of nato. erin mclaughlin is joining us from buckingham palace. how has it been so far? >> reporter: it's interesting, the fact that president trump is not scheduled to have a formal bilateral meeting with british prime minister boris johnson,

the two have a close relationship, but it's potentially not unusual when you consider what's playing out here right now in the uk, an active campaign, general election just days away. that election not only deciding the fate of boris johnson's political future but also brexit swings in the balance, and president trump is seen as unpopular here in the united kingdom. so not only are they not meeting, but i think it's safe to say that the government is holding its breath as well for president trump to leave the uk. he's known to make -- or to like to make a splash during these kinds of visits. president trump is meeting with the canadian prime minister, he's also having tea with prince charles and camilla before attending a nato reception for leaders here at buckingham palace. they're going to be celebrating 70 years of an alliance which is seen as really critical for

european and u.s. security but there's plenty of differences, plenty of tension behind the scenes in the days leading up to the summit, french president, emmanuel macron declaring the alliance, quote, brain dead. something that did not play well with his german counterparts. >> strong words. thank you. while in the uk no doubt the president will be watching the critical new phase in the impeachment inquiry that begins today as the house judiciary committee takes the reigns. members of the intelligence committee will turn over their base. during an interview, chairman adam schiff hinted it would focus on more than the ukraine scandal. >> the evidence of ukraine is overwhelming but the evidence on obstruction of congress is also overwhelming, there's never a president that obstructed the

work of an impeachment inquiry let alone oversite, he told the office of management and budget, don't turn over a single document and they haven't. he told witnesses, do not show up. >> tracie potts joins us with the latest from d.c. we know the president is in the uk but likely watching from across the pond. >> reporter: he's watching and he's tweeting also about this inquiry that he says is unfair moving forward while he's overseas. he said this trip was planned more than a year. there's no case here. read the transcripts, the president tweets, questioning whether the supreme court should get involved and stop it. today as you noted the intelligence committee is expected to turn over its report of all of its evidence and testimony so far to the judiciary committee for that hearing that's set to happen tomorrow with legal experts looking at whether there is a basis for articles of

impeachment. meantime, president trump argues this process should not have gone forward while he was out of washington. >> the democrats, the radical left democrats, the do nothing democrats, decided when i'm going to nato, this was set up a year ago, that when i'm going to nato that was the exact time. this is one of the most important journeys that we make as president. >> reporter: the president's overseas but republicans are coming to his defense with a 130-page report of their own, sort of a prebuttal of what's pe process and defending the president. >> so much to watch there and here. thank you. turning to chicago where there's been a major shakeup for police superintendent eddie johnson he's been fired after what the mayor called a series of ethical lapses.

lightfoot accused johnson about lying about an incident in october when he fell asleep behind the wheel. johnson blamed it on medication but lightfoot said he admitted to drinking that night. a 35-year-old man is in custody this morning after he allegedly took dallas police on a dangerous, high speed chase. authorities say it began when officers tried to stop the driver and he refused to pull over. can't help but look at that mug shot with that wink. that's when officers say perkins started to drive at high speeds, crossing into oncoming traffic. after about 45 minutes police arrested perkins, but then the police car transporting him was rear ended by another driver. he was taken to the hospital. prince andrew's accuser is speaking out for the first time

to uk viewers. she's appealing to the british public to believe her side of the story, saying she was trafficked to london by jeffrey epstein. >> it was a really scary time in my life. i had just been abused by a member of a royal family. >> reporter: virginia roberts giuffre in prime time, taking her case to the british people. she said she was directed to have sexual encounters with prince andrew three times, starting when she was just 17. the first time in london, the said went to a nightclub. >> he is the most hideous dancer i've ever seen in my life. it was horrible. and this guy was sweating all over me. but i knew i had to keep him happy because that's what jeffrey would expect from me. >> reporter: prince andrew denies having sex with her and said he doesn't remember meeting her. the queen's second son casts

down on the authenticity of the photo. >> that's me but whether that's my hand or the position, i don't -- i simply have no recollection. of a photograph ever being taken. >> the people on the inside are going to come up with ridiculous excuses, like his arm was elongated or the photo was doctored. i'm calming b.s. that's what it is. >> reporter: prince andrew's sitdown was taped prior to her interview, which was disastrous and led to him stepping down from his royal duties. >> i emplore people in the uk to stand up beside me and help me fight this fight. >> reporter: she is demanding prince andrew testify under oath in the u.s. about his friendship let's start talking about a weekend -- speak about the storms in the past tense.

check. >> we have a powerful storm making its way across southern new england so pabands producin one to two inches an hour, but will make its way through tonight. and then we have a band making its way through the higher elevations. by wednesday night we're talking 6 to 8 inches and power outages still a problem with gs. very cold for minnesota this afternoon, below the freezing mark. let's talk about the storm system exiting and then more sunshine. all of that is coming up. >> that's good in time for the

weekend. in today's quick hits, jonathan van ness made history on the cover of cosmo poll tan. the winner of an arizona lottery ticket never showed up to claim their prize. because they did not come forward, the 14 million goes back to fund other games in the state. mcdonald's entering the chicken sandwich wag two chicke crispy chicken and deluxe crispy in knoxville for all their hard work and sacrifice. we all sleep easier knowing you're out there keeping us safe. and on a personal note... sfx: jet engines ... i just needed to get that off my chest. thank you. geico: proudly supporting the military for over 75 years.
