stopped. later today, secret service director julia pierson will face tough questioning from lawmakers about how she plans to change the agency's procedures. nbc's tracie potts is live in washington this morning. tracie, what can we expect to hear from today's hearing? >> reporter: well, a lot in an open, public hearing, which is not exactly how the secret service wanted it. they put in a request to have part of this hearing in private, classified, so they could discuss not only a report on how the secret service does its job but also, she said, revealing too many details about how they protect the first family would be, and i'm quoting julia pierson here, "beyond reckless." >> something needs to be done drastically. >> reporter: today lawmakers want to ask secret service director julia pierson how a man jumped the white house fence, ran across the lawn, and according to the "washington post," got all the way into the east room before they stopped him. >> there's got to be a better way to deal with it than they're

dealing with it now. >> reporter: a new "post" report also says there was mass confusion when bullets hit the private residence in 2011. daughter sasha and her grandmother were inside. >> the rank-and-file agents and uniform division officers did what they were supposed to do. they took out their weapons, took cover, they called out gunshots. >> reporter: but "the post" claims officers were told to stand down, it was a truck backfiring, then gunfire from a gang shoot-out. four days later, the secret service confirmed gunshots hit the residence. the arrest came one day after that. >> how interesting, a guy obsessed with the president appears to have had a knock-off ak-47 and have shot it somewhere on constitution avenue on the white house's front lawn. >> reporter: former agents blame the chain of command. >> it does make certain individuals uncomfortable to speak openly, to engage their supervisors. >> ultimately, the president does retain confidence in the leadership of the secret service. >> reporter: but he wants to know more.

we understand that director pearson has been in the oval office since that incident happened ten days ago to talk about this with the president. >> tracie potts live from capitol hill, thanks. in hong kong, a sense of calm for now. here's a live look at what's going on there right now. pro-democracy protesters, hundreds of them remain on the streets. riot police, meanwhile, have pulled back. but new this morning, a deadline. the government has until wednesday to meet protesters' demands. it's also a national holiday, which could mean more demonstrators. on social media, meanwhile, a ban is still in place. china erasing protest posts on instagram and twitter. and monday night, a searing image after days of tear gassing, a quiet cell phone vigil. we now know the source of 2013's extreme sizzle climate change. that's the word from the american meteorological society. it fueled heat waves in europe and china.

student, hannah graham. right now police are following up on some 1,600 tips, scouring the area, but investigators say a forensic link may connect the suspect in custody to a separate abduction and murder in 2009. that one involved a 20-year-old virginia tech student. nbc's kurt gregory has more. >> reporter: virginia state police say jesse matthew jr. has been linked forensically to the murder of virginia tech student morgan harrington. >> i am so pleased that that has happened, but it doesn't change a lot for us in some ways, you know? our bedroom is still empty upstairs. >> reporter: harrington disappeared after a rock concert in charlottesville back in 2009. her remains were found three months later on a nearby farm, but her killer was never identified. now police in fairfax, virginia, say there's a forensic link from the harrington murder to a 2009 assault in their city. last week, the 32-year-old

matthew was arrested in galveston, texas, after virginia police identified him in this video with hannah graham in charlottesville just before her disappearance. >> i'm relieved that they do have someone in custody, and hopefully, they do get answers to where hannah exactly is. >> reporter: this weekend, hundreds of volunteers joined law enforcement in searching woods and rural areas around charlottesville for any signs of the 20-year-old. a college community still holding out hope for hannah. kurt gregory, nbc news. well, you know that popular phrase, "retweets are not endorsements" is taking on a new meaning for donald trump, and now the reality star is mulling a lawsuit after he says he was tricked into retweeting something he now regrets. it started yesterday when a user asked him to retweet a picture of who he claimed to be his parents who passed away and "always said you were a big inspiration." well, it turns out, that couple
