documents. that decision coming amid new revelations about the discovery of additional materials from the obama administration at the president's home in delaware. we have two reports this morning. we start with nbc's chief white house correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning. >> good morning. republicans this week have been pressuring the attorney general to appoint a special counsel after he named one to investigate mr. trump's handling of classified documents. after revelations that more documents tied to president biden's time serving as vice president had been discovered, garland did just that. the white house saying that it is confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced. this morning president biden's handling of classified information under growing scrutiny afternoon attorney general merrick garland announced he appointed a special counsel to investigate. >> the extraordinary circumstances here require the appointment of a special counsel

for this matter. >> reporter: garland naming robert hur, a former u.s. attorney in maryland appointed by then-president trump to head up the inquiry. garland also detailing the expanding timeline of discoveries. on november 2nd the president's personal lawyers found fewer than a dozen classified documents at a former office in washington just six days before the midterm elections. and then on december 20th they found another batch inside theh garage of f mr. biden's wiwilmington, , delaware, , hom. a a location w we got a glimpse in this campaign video where the president keeps his corvette. >> my corvette is in a locked garage, okay? it's not like they are sitting out on the street. people know i take classified documents and classified materials seriously. >> reporter: it wasn't until two months later on january 9th that the discovery of the first batch of documents became public following media reports. and just two days ago another classified document was found in a room adjacent to the garage. garland revealing that the justice department was notified

of that yesterday. overnight, nbc news learning one of the documents found at mr. biden's former office was marked with the highest classification in government. what's called top secret sci. according to a senior u.s. official and another person familiar with the matter. last fall, president biden slammed mr. trump for storing hundreds of classified materials at his mar-a-lago estate. >> how that could possibly happen, how anyone could be that irresponsible. >> reporter: mr. trump last night again claiming that he had the right as a former president to retain classified documents, even though there is no evidence any of them had been properly declassified. >> when biden is admonishing me for documents that i'm allowed to have as president, i am allowed to have, we were allowed to take this, many presidents took things with them. >> reporter: nbc news has also learned that federal law enforcement officials have now interviewed multiple aides who worked for then-vice president biden in the final days of the

obama administration. that's according to two people familiar with the matter. among those aides, former executive assistant, kathy cheung, who packed up mr. biden's vice presidential office in january of 2017, she is now a senior aide to the defense secretary, the pentagon referred our questions to the justice department and the white house is not commenting. savannah? >> all right. peter, thank you. we want to get more perspective on all of this from nbc senior washington correspondent hallie jackson. as ever there are legal implications and political implications. let's start with the law, the legal case and how this might proceed. >> the key part of that in the legal case is going to be intent. that's the most important thing according to legal experts, and that is what is the president's attorneys are trying to emphasize, this wasn't intentional. it was an accident. you keep seeing the word inadvertent in the statements. they are also emphasizing that they immediately reported it and cooperated with investigators. this seems like a clear signal to those who are investigating that they did not have the intent to do anything wrong

here. that's crucial. >> talk about the politics. needless to say, former president trump faces his own special counsel investigation with regard to the classified documents that were discovered at mar-a-lago and there is a lot of what about-ism, equivalencies being set up between these two cases and a classic where you stand depends on where you sit moment in washington. how is that playing out? >> only capitol hill looking from the gop side, they want investigations. they want a damage assessment, for example, to see what happened here. heading into 2024, i imagine they will try to use this to try to neutralize criticism of former president trump. on the democrat side one of these things is not exactly like the other. right? there are key distinctions, from what we know, volume, for example, questions about cooperation, et cetera. that is something that democrats are emphasizing and will likely continue to do so as lon

continue to do so as long as this special counsel investigation remains open. >> we will continue to watch it. thank you. let's move to that sad news from hollywood overnight on the death of lisa marie presley. the only child of elvis passing away a short time after she was rushed to a california hospital. here right now we have got i think a live look at graceland, the home her father made famous and she owned, keeping it open to the public. it is now available for tours. this morning as emotional tributes pour in there are questions over what happened erin mclaughlin with the latest. good morning >> hoda, good morning. just days ago lisa marie presley was celebrating what would have been her father's 88th birthday first at her childhood hom at graceland and later at the golden globes. now the 54-year-old, who grew up under intense media scrutiny as the only daughter of one of the world's most famous and beloved performers, is gone. leaving many around the world stunned.

she was also briefly married to actor nicholas cage before having four children with her two other husbands presley made multi appearance on "today," including a performance on the plaza back in 2003. in the past, presley was vocal about her struggles, including her battle with addiction. in 2018, while touring graceland, she told jenna bush hager -- >> i hit bottom, below bottom. from where i was to just from -- it's miraculous i think. >> reporter: presley later admitting she was destroyed by the 2020 suicide of her 27-year-old son benjamin last august to mark national grief awareness day, the mother of four penned an emotional essay writing it's a real struggle to keep going, one i have to make every single day and one that is challenging to say the least. but i keep going for my girls. >> this is such a sad and tragic story. you mentioned she is the mother, was the mother to three daughters. how are they doing

and roll through the day it's a stunning development. that massive faa computer glitch on wednesday that brought air traffic to a standstill may with been caused by one or two faa contract employees senior government officials with knowledge of the investigation tell nbc news the contractors had access to the faa's notam computer system. preliminary information suggests one or more may have corrupted an faa computer file, damaging and slowing both the primary an. transportation secretary pete buttigieg. >> it seems hard to believe that a single person could put the faa in the position where they had to literally hit the pause button on all domestic takeoffs. >> that is exactly what i am asking faa to review and getting an explanation about. we need to make sure that there are enough safeguards built into the system that this level of disruption can't happen because of an individual person's decision or action or mistake.

>> reporter: investigators only determined what happened after reviewing computer log-in records. is there any indication this was intentional? >> we have had no indication or evidence of that. of course, part of what the review is making sure of is that we know everything we would need to know in order to rule that out. >> reporter: the d.o.t. says the contractors no longer have access to the faa computers. the failure led to cascading delays and cancellations that affected hundreds of thousands of passengers. >> no information from the airline. no emails. no text messages. nothing. >> reporter: complicating matters, the notam system, critical for pilots who need updated flight information, is running on 30-year-old software. and not due to be replaced for another six years. a former faa chief says those critical air traffic computers must join the 21st century and fast. >> the system is now stretched to its limits and can't tolerate, you know, any

inconsistencies, old software, hardware, any of that can have a very negative effect to the operation of the overall system. >> reporter: secretary buttigieg said that the congress has allocated money and they have been spending money at faa to upgrade that computer system. but you can't just flip a switch and make it work overnight. it takes time. it's a very big, complicated system. he is asking whether they can expedite the process. meantime, faa is doubling down on computer protocols and cybersecurity. >> stunning to think about that being three decades old, tom. thank you very much. appreciate the report. 7:15. craig's here. another big story in the weather. >> good morning to you. we are talking about a rare january outbreak of tornados tearing through the south, leading to deaths, damages, power outages. we will get to al's forecast in a moment. first, nbc's blayne alexander joins us from hard-hit selma, alabama. blayne, what are you seeing on the ground there? >> reporter: well, craig, good morning to you. what we are seeing is

winter producing nearly three dozen tornado reports across the southeast, snapping power poles, leaving tens of thousands in the dark. in selma, the storm tore a path of destruction through downtown. >> this is a sad day in selma and dallas county. >> reporter: officials are reporting seven deaths from the storm in alabama and georgia. a number they say could rise as teams begin search and rescue efforts. >> we have the southern baptist chainsaw teams coming in to help the individuals who may need help cutting their way into their homes, getting into what may be left of their homes. >> reporter: on thursday, 23 million people were in the path of those storms stretching through alabama, georgia, the carolinas and kentucky. in georgia, a 5-year-old boy was killed when a tree fell on his family's car. elsewhere, others barely escaped.

"consumer confidential." our series around this time every morning where we highlight stories that impact your family and budget. >> this morning's focus, questions and concerns after gas-powered stoves after a commissioner labeled them a hidden health hazard, suggesting they could be banned everyone was really up about it. >> nbc's sam brock joining us with a little bit more on this one. sam, good morning. >> reporter: guys, good morning. you might say their blood was boiling for a moment now, those comments, pun intended, are from an independent agency that protects consumers, and they have created heated reaction. the agency itself says they ar not planning on banning gas stoves, but the warning kickstarted a conversation about gas stove versus electric or even induction with child health

top of mind in this. this morning, comments from a member of the consumer products safety commission, or cpsc, have fired up a major debate. >> will the united states of america ban gas stoves >> can they do that? >> are these people insane >> reporter: in an interview with bloomberg, a commissioner with the government agency called gas stoves a hidden hazard it comes as mounting research links gas stove to health risks when it comes to breathing issues a recent peer-reviewed study from a prominent medical journal found nearly 13% of childhood asthma cases in the u.s. are attributable to gas stove use. >> it's terrifying as a parent to have a small child who has asthma. >> reporter: heather price's then 2-year-old son used to need an inhaler when they moved to a home with all-electric appliances a decade ago, her son's respiratory issues improved almost instantly. do you think there is a strong likelihood the reason your son developed asthma was because of exposure to a gas appliance?

>> that's my sense of it it was the one thing that, the big thing that we changed. >> reporter: while the agency says they are looking for ways to reduce indoor air quality hazards related to gas stoves, which emit methane, they are not looking to ban gas stoves. still, states like california and new york are already moving toward prohibiting the sale of new gas appliances by 2030. in an effort to reduce emissions. >> i think this is ridiculous. mostly because i hate cooking with electric stoves. >> reporter: experts say a nationwide ban is improbable, as are any forced changes to the kitchen. >> it's extraordinarily unlikely any future ban would require somebody to replace an existing appliance. we are talking about new construction. >> reporter: what are the pros and cons of different stoves, from gas and electric to induction technology >> a lot of people again that grew up with gas are very comfortable with it. >> reporter: jeff, from aggressive appliances in orlando, says an electric and

induction stovetops are safer and more efficient even if there's less panache >> so every chef in the world is probably going to kill me for saying this, i would say induction is faster, just as responsive, cools off quicker, easier to clean up we are going to washington and we will tell the politicians we have a solution. buy induction. everybody can be happy. >> he is a fan of that stove there. sam, beyond the concerns over asthma, the environment, what do experts say induction stoves, a lot of them say they are safer why is it smoking so much there? >> reporter: yeah, the safety is -- good question, craig this pot is boiling right now. induction, the reason it's so great, instantaneous heating unlike an electric stove where it goes straight from source to cooking vessel, which is what you are looking at here. as long as it's a ferrous metal. i am going to move this pot now. place my hand, ready

>> no. >> reporter: look at that, okay? obviously, if this were on electric stove, my hand would be burning now. if it were an open flame, serious problems if a young kid accidentally touches this on an induction stove, you're okay how is that for show-and-tell? i am so happy i don't have any burns. >> glad that worked out. >> sam, thank you. >> i just learned a lot. >> yeah. >> that's a special pot he has he has a brock pot there. >> all the parents are like, don't touch the stove. >> i get it. let's show you what we have got going on today in fact, this year, 2022, last year i should say sixth hottest on record. global temperatures above the 20th century average the last eight years have been the hottest eight years on record so we continue to warm up. well, we are looking at snow it is winter stretching from new england down into the appalachians, winter weather advisories and warnings, flood warnings out for parts of

♪ >> reporter: a new day is dawning in boston. a sculpture being unveiled in boston common called the "embrace." it was inspired by a photo of dr. martin luther king jr. and coretta scott king after he had been award the nobel peace prize in 1964. what is striking to me about it is of all of the images that you could have selected, you chose this one. >> when they met here, they were people full of dreams, full of ambition and hope. and they chose to actually commit those dreams to one another and to society and that day was like proof that they had done what it was all worth it >> reporter: that's right. the start of the dream is a love story in boston. king and scott were students and met on a blind date in 1951. they soon become inseparable and started their journey together toward a cause larger than themselves for the sculpture, artist hank willis thomas, stripped away everything but the

embrace. >> not everyone has arms and hands, right, but all of us have been embraced. all of us know what it's like to feel embraced. >> reporter: this work is a collaboration between thomas and the mass design group. it beat out 125 other design proposals. the sculpture is made up of more than 600 pieces of bronze, welded together at a foundry in washington state and shipped across the country in seven pieces then reassembled the sculpture sits on a plaza made up of diamond shaped pieces of granite designed to honor the african american quilt making tradition. all around plaques featuring the names of local boston civil rights heroes. when you saw it for the first time fully installed here, what was your reaction? >> i cried like a baby. i cried like a baby. >> reporter: imari paris jeffries is the executive director of embrace boston which is behind the project. >> boston has had a, shall we say, long and complicated

relationship with race. how do we hope this monument helps change that story? >> there is about 7 million people that visit boston common every year they might hear a story of patriots, a story of freedom, and they might stumble across this monument and hear the story of the kings this is about understanding black peoples' place in this historic city. >> reporter: the location of the memorial is just steps away from where dr. king gave a speech before 22,000 people in 1965 later today martin luther king iii and his wife will be there for the unveiling. when you saw the renderings for the first time, what did you think? >> i thought this is a powerful image. sometimes we are afraid to embrace, but for dad and mom to show us what embracing is, to have a manifestation of what they consistently did is that it really is about the

manifestation of love, and dad had, obviously, a love for his wife and family, but he had a love for humanity, and so did mom. >> reporter: it's also a reminder of the legendary couple's early years in boston. >> i would imagine it was a sweetness to that time it wasn't very long after they were married and after they left boston and settled in montgomery and then from there until the end of his life in 1968 it was a very public life >> reporter: that bond now immortal, arms entwined, holding each other up, clinging the dream. >> a lot of people see a heart. >> reporter: you're right. when people come and they experience this, what do you want them to take away from that experience >> i want them to take away the responsibility to carry on the legacy of the kings who were devoted to unconditional love, to community, to humanity, and to hope.

>> it really was a beautiful piece of public art there in boston that i got to see a few days ago but it's also -- the image that they selected and martin luther king iii talked about this as well, the picture is, like there are so many pictures over the years. but that one, where he is smiling, we don't really see dr. king smiling as much if you also notice, coretta is holding him up his weight is on her shoulders so it was very important to hank, the artist, to portray that part. >> yeah. >> of the kings' story, as well. >> beautiful and striking. glad to see coretta scott king get her due, as well. >> yes, more than a decade in the making by the way. there is impressive interactive component for visitors to scan a qr code and learn a little bit more about the history of the place. embrace boston working on creating a community center and event space in roxbury, as well. huge thanks to our station nbc 10 boston for their help with
