elizabeth warren and joe biden the field is narrowing andrew yang and michael bennet announced the end of their campaigns. and michael bloomberg becoming a factor more and more we start with kristen welker in new hampshire. kristen, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you after the chaos in iowa, the results were clear here in new hampshire. senator bernie sanders edged out a victory over mayor pete buttigieg, injecting fresh momentum into his campaign and others that did well here. for former vice president, joe biden, who had a tough night, it is less clear, raising questions about the future of his campaign and where does the race go from here >> thank you, new hampshire. >> reporter: overnight in new hampshire, senator bernie sanders narrowly beating former south bend mayor, pete buttigieg. >> this victory here is the beginning of the end for donald trump. >> reporter: the self-proclaimed

democratic socialist, fueled by young and liberal voters calling for unity. >> no matter who wins, and we certainly hope it's going to be us, we are going to unite together and defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country >> reporter: buttigieg casting himself as a moderate alternative to sanders netting just as many delegates as the vermont senator, giving him the overall delegate lead in the primary race so far. >> and thanks to you, a campaign that some said shouldn't be here at all, has shown that we're here to stay >> reporter: one of the night's other big winners, senator amy klobuchar, who took third place. she capitalized on the moment by reintroducing herself to the country. >> hello, america. i'm amy klobuchar. and i will beat donald trump >> reporter: another major new hampshire headline, the

candidates who fell far behind, including long-time national front runner joe biden and senator elizabeth warren both failed to get enough votes to earn any delegates. before the race was called, biden, who placed fifth, was on a plane to south carolina, which will hold the nation's next primary. the former vice president stressing he is still in it because of his support among more diverse voters. >> you can't be the democratic nominee and you can't win a general election as democrat unless you have overwhelming support from black and brown voters >> reporter: warren's fourth place finish was a blow to her campaign, but insisting she'll go on. >> our campaign is built for the long haul. and we are just getting started. >> reporter: overshadowing all of it, president trump, who coasted to victory in the republican primary his campaign calling the democrats' race so far a dumpster fire. ♪ at least i know i'm free >> reporter: this is shaping up to be a race between the

moderate and more liberal wings of the democratic party. as you said, savannah, this is also a field that's narrowing, with andrew yang and michael bennet announcing they're suspending their campaigns overnigh overnight. the next stop, nevada. it could be a fight for the nomination >> we're joined by former senator claire mccaskill, and also rich lowry. good morning to both of you. let's give sanders his due win in new hampshire he seems poised to go the distance in terms of this primary season now, let's talk about the others klobuchar and buttigieg had a surprisingly good night. do they have what it takes to keep going and can moderates coalesce around a candidate >> buckle up the next 30 days will be a wild ride for the democratic party and finding the nominee. i do think building a plane while it is in the air, when you

see how quickly these contests are coming, for a campaign like buttigieg and klobuchar, they've got a lot of work to do in a lo of plalo of places in a very short time i'm not saying it couldn't happen and hats off to them they had great nights last night. buttigieg, think about this. he was tied in iowa and barely lost to bernie in a state that bernie dominated four years ago. he's on fire >> there were a lot of late deciders in new hampshire. >> yeah. >> the whole thing about iowa, i can't believe i'm still talking about iowa, is there's a bounce from iowa. late deciders went with buttigieg. if that's the definition, buttigieg seems to have done it. >> they went with klobuchar for new hampshire. it's nice for me to see somebody else's party being a chaotic mess for a change. >> this is bringing back deja vu 2016 the moderate lane didn't coalesce around a candidate, and donald trump wins.

>> you need 40% and the rest of the field to break the right way. the center-left is fractured and it may get more fractured in the weeks to come, when mike bloomberg gets in. i'm with claire. we need to pause and just reflect on how extraordinary the buttigieg question nphenomenon . it's because he's hyper articulate and he's identified himself with a natural and powerful theme in american politics, i'm the fresh-faced outsider that's going to bring generational or transformational change to washington that elected bill clinton and george w. bush, and it elected barack obama >> democrats like that fresh-face approach. claire, i think it's fair to say you represent the centrist left. assuming that's the case, what is your lane of the party do here i mean, you've got biden does someone talk to him about potentially deciding not to go forward with the race? he's hanging everything on south carolina how do you coalesce? how do you decide, okay, we need one standard bearer here or is it going to be bernie sanders?

>> i think there are going to be folks out there that will hopefully convince some of the candidates to coalesce after super tuesday. our party is not winner-take-all. it can go for a while. even after super tuesday, we will still have only half of the delegates selected this may go for a while. but eventually, i think they will be -- if you look, a lot more people are voting for a more moderate, pragmatic approach to the problems we face, than some of the things that bernie is advocating. >> true. but bernie has set the ideological terms of the debate for three or four years now. if you look at the polling, the democratic rank and file is not as freaked out as the prospect of bernie winning as the democratic elite is. >> that's a nice way of putting it don't you think the president wants to run against bernie sanders? >> he is clearly the riskiest choice i wouldn't discount his ability to win a general election. anything can happen. he has the most baggage. he'd be the candidate that trump

would most easily be able to make most radioactive. >> by the way, on the flip side of that, you have michael bloomberg who the president tweeted and then deleted the tweet, but he's going after mike bloomberg. we'll talk about it in a moment. obviously, the president is potentially worried about this candidacy. >> yeah, no. i think trump is very worried about mike bloomberg first of all, mike bloomberg knows how to get to him. calling the president fat is something that resonates with the president. bizarre as that is >> the president called bloomberg short, so i guess the goose is good for the gander >> bloomberg is a successful businessman. he didn't rely just on debt. i do think that's quite a matchup. it depends on whether th democratic party will accept bloomberg or not >> you said buckle up. >> yep >> you're both going to live here the next month or so. appreciate it. we'll go over to craig with more on what we were talk about

with michael bloomberg >> craig joins the table with more >> good morning, guys. while he has yet to appear on a ballot, he's proven to be quite the force in the democratic race this morning, the former new york city mayor, michael bloomberg, facing intense criticism after a resurfaced comment on a controversial police policy. nbc's peter alexander has more on that for us good morning to you. >> reporter: with nearly $300 million of his own money spent, back-to-back polls show michael bloomberg in double digits among democrats and gaining significant ground with black voters, chipping away at joe biden's advantages there the recording of the stop and frisk policy has bloomberg defending his record the former new york city mayor apologizing once again for his controversial stop and frisk

policy after audio went viral. >> put the cops in the minority neighborhoods. >> reporter: in the recording, bloomberg defends the tactic that disproportionately targeted blacks and latinos in new york, and it was later ruled unconstitutional >> you throw them against the wall and frisk them. >> reporter: bloomberg, who addressed the issue days before announcing his campaign -- >> i was wrong and i'm sorry. >> reporter: -- reiterating his regret tuesday i have taken too long to realize the impact it had on black and latino communities the audio posted online by a podcaster that supports bernie sanders and has been seeking information about bloomberg on social media president trump retweeting the recording writing, wow, bloomberg is a total racist, before quickly deleting it >> i put something out it was pretty nasty. i thought, i'm looking to bring the country together, not to divide the country further >> reporter: but the president who has been sharply criticized

for comments widely viewed as racist, has praised stop and frisk. >> anything we can do to get down crime and get rid of drugs. >> reporter: blm beoomberg's campaign is gaining ground, notching votes in new hampshire and rising in the polls, causing concern among the democratic contenders bloomberg was in a nasty war of words with the president >> little michael will prevail now he wants a box for the debates, to stand on >> reporter: his campaign not afraid to stand in kind. last week, blasting the president as a pathological liar who lies about everything, his fake hair, his obesity and his spray-on tan michael bloomberg is skipping the first four states, instead, gearing up for super tuesday early next month, with stops today and tomorrow in tennessee and north carolina in his statement, bloomberg directed a message directly to president trump. writing, make no mistake, mr. president. i am not afraid of you, and i will not let you bully me or anyone else in america

craig? >> peter alexander from the white house. thank you. now, the feud inside the justice department bursting into the spotlight now. the entire justice team prosecuting roger stone, the president's associate, has abruptly quit the case stephanie gosk joins us. this has to do with the sentencing >> it is remarkable. less than 24 hours, federal prosecutors filed a sentencing memo more roger stone. senior officials at the doj said they planned to reduce the sentence, causing all four prosecutors to resign from the case in an extremely rare, if not unprecedented, public protest. >> reporter: this morning, president trump's long-time friend roger stone at the center of a legal fire storm. stone was convicted for obstruction of justice, lying to investigators, and witness tampering, in a case brought by robert mueller federal prosecutors first said stone deserved seven to nine years in prison.

but senior justice department officials intervened, callin that excessive and unwarranted and recommending a more lenient sentence by the end of tuesday, all four career prosecutors withdrew from the case, and one resigned from the justice department entirely. news of the sentencing reversal coming just hours after an overnight tweet by the president, calling the original recommendation horrible, very unfair, and a miscarriage of justice. the surprising development immediately raising questions about whether the justice department was caving to pressure from the white house. overnight, eric holder, the attorney general under president obama, writing, in part, the action taken today is aberrant and inconsistent with the justice department, acting in a traditional, nonpolitical way. the doj says the decision to override the sentencing recommendation was made before the president's tweet. in the oval office, the president said he didn't contact doj about the case, but that he had every right to >> i thought that the

recommendation was ridiculous. i thought the prosecution was ridiculous >> reporter: the government's original sentencing memo concluded stone displayed contempt for this court and the rule of law. specifically noting a post stone published after his indictment, with a photo of the presiding judge in the case, and an apparent bull's eye we've obscured near her head stone later apologizing. now, chuck schumer is calling for an investigation >> the president seems to think the entire justice department is his personal lawsuit, to prosecute his enemies and help his friends. >> the latest memo from the justice department doesn't recommend a particular sentence. in the end, this is still all up to the judge the president has the power to pardon stone if he wants he didn't answer when we asked yesterday if he plans to do so just this morning, the president tweeting his congratulations to attorney general bill barr for, quote, taking charge of a case

that was, in his words, totally out of control >> that's interesting. it seems like the president is acknowledging that, yes, this came from the higher-ups at the department of justice, essentially the allegation being made here, that there was political influence. >> even though there was criticism that there was political influence. it doesn't seem to affect him. he also said he had every right to contact the doj if he wanted to, but went on to say, he didn't contact the doj after this original sentence came out. >> just to be clear, the sentence for the line prosecutors, the sentence they originally asked the judge for, was considered a very harsh request, a harsh sentence on the guidelines spectrum. >> there was a general sense among people watching this closely that this was a harsh sentence they argued it out over the course of the sentencing memo, saying why they felt each of these charges should be elevated in terms of sentence ultimately, the doj said that that was too aggressive. >> all right stephanie, fascinating thank you. >> you're welcome. what do you say we check in

chicago for claiming he was the rick stimof a ha victim of a hate crime attack. miguel almaguer has followed this story from the very beginning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. this is a bombshell dropped by the prosecutor for koch county in addition to saying smollett did, in fact, lie to police, they also say charges should have never been dropped after he was originally accused of lying to investigators the former "empire" actor is headed back to court, but his attorney is firing back, saying he has been wrongfully accused again. chicago special prosecutor says jussie mole smollett was lying officers all along when he told them he was the victim of a racial and homophobic hate crime. his alleged attackers tying a noose around his neck. this morning, smollett is facing six new charges of disorderly conduct for lying to police. the move, a stunning reversal, after prosecutors dropped all 16

charges the actor originally faced in march in the new indictment, the special prosecutor's office says smollett made numerous false statements to chicago police on multiple o casekas o cases, repa heinous hate crime he, in fact, knew had not occurred. >> i've been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. >> reporter: smollett's attorney releasing this statement this indictment raises questions about the integrity of the investigation, the attempt to re-prosecutor mr. smollett one year later is clearly all about politics, not justice. the scene now set for the actor to be back in court in less than two weeks. >> i think the city is still owed an apology. >> reporter: over a year ago, smollett said two men attacked him on this street corner. but police say these two brothers were paid by smollett to carry out the hoax.

it was the prosecutor's office, run by kim fox, that stunned the nation, when it dropped the 16 charges against smollett, after he agreed to forfeit his $10,000 bond and never admit guilt fox, who is running for re-election, responding to the new charges saying, what is questionable here is the james comey-like timing of that charging decision, just 35 days before an election this morning, a plot twist right out of hollywood jussie smollett, first a victim, then a suspect charges dropped and now filed again. >> miguel, we've been talking about this for a year now. what kind of sentence could smollett face with these new charges? do we know >> reporter: well, the new felony charges are the lowest level felony charges that have been filed for lying to police we're told it is highly unlikely he could get any jail time, but the city is also asking for him to pay back $135,000, which they're still pursuing, craig. >> that's to cover the cost of

more dollars >> we should note, the seat belts used in the crash test are manufactured by immy, and they say outfitting a school bus with seat belts costs $7,000 to $10,000 per bus. there is a cost involved, and that may be part of the reluctance here. >> the state by state breakdown we saw it is up to the states whether or not to require seat belts is there any movement in the federal government to do anything about it? >> last july, tammy duckworth introduced a bill to require seat belts that would require data recorders and automatic braking for all school busses. that bill is in the first stage of the legislative process >> seems like a no-brainer i don't know what logical argument there would be. >> $7,000 to $10,000 it's like, okay. >> tight school budgets, and it is not just one bus. >> new buses, that's the hope, they'll build it into the cost >> when you see those images, come on. >> thank you, vicki. let's get a check of the weather now. mr. roker? >> looking at the temperatures
