the troubled secret service is facing another embarrassing scandal. a high-ranking supervisor has been put on leave after being accused of assault on a female co-worker. there are questions being raised over whether an outside authority needs to clean up the agency. our white house correspondent has more from washington. >> he was a standout a senior supervisor recently promoted but now he's accused of assaulting a female agent. >> it seems like deja vu all over again. >> it started march 31st at the d.c. bar. she says her boss propositionsed her here. she says she fought him off. >> secret service director has

but i could look at this tornado all day long. it hayappeared to be two tornadoes. the one from fairdale that was the one that started off like a small tornado innocently enough and then it grew in size and became a stove pipe what you're looking at there. and then it actually turned into almost like a quarter mile to a half mile wedge tornado. i was looking at the maps of the populations of northern illinois just to see how fortunate or unfortunate we were. it was strong and on the ground for 30 or 40 miles. there was one fatality. this one over mostly rural areas. all big cities were avoided. where our crews are this morning, it's in fairdale. that is literally a small town. it has 3 main roads that go north to south and about two or three roads that go east to west. this is the fairdale area. there's probably only about 20

or 30 structures in the town and they're saying almost none of them exist anymore. you can see the pictures there. this small town community surrounded by farms with a main street. this is all that's left of it. there's hardly anything. our heart goes out to these people. this is horrible enough. we are fortunate as i mentioned with the storm that was this big on the ground this long that it didn't go through any major cities and kill dozens of people. when daylight comes up we'll get a better assessment from the air and get a better view of all these storms. in all in our severe weather outbreak yesterday, about 300 severe weather reports. a lot of wind damage reports and we're not completely done yet. we're done with the big chance of any tornadoes but we have wind damage problems to deal with especially in eastern sections of tennessee and eastern kentucky. a little later this afternoon, we'll still see severe weather. a slight risk of severe storms. there's a low chance of a

tornado today but we'll watch the storms if you're in the carolinas from raleigh to charlotte through columbia south carolina. from atlanta to augusta and augusta has a masters today. we will see a strong line of storms going through there that will delay play. hoping for no damage and we think it's mostly wind gusts. here's the timing of it. 6:00 p.m. this evening, the line of strong storms through the gulf coast. also up through central portions of georgia and it's a thin line through the raleigh area and east of charlotte but that could contain damaging wind gusts. they die out around 11:00 this evening. by the time we get to the weekend, that's when we start to see the good. the cold front heads out. even new england who, it is snowing once again this morning in maine. maine has had one of the worst winters of all time up there. after they're done with it they'll appreciate 60s by this

weekend. again, what happens in that little small town it's like people say it's almost gone. they have to decide if they want to rebuild it or not. no major cities. it could have been so much worse but it's bad enough. >> our thoughts and prayers with those in the communities. still ahead a-rod does something in the yankees that he hasn't done in a long time. we'll explain next on "way too early." >> you know this group draft biden 2016? yeah. broadcast biden 2016. they started selling bumper stickers that say i'm riden with biden. this is real. take a look. this is a lot better than the other one that women around the white house have used.

will need to step up his game if he hopes to return this year. he showed improvement but came up short shooting a one over 73. jordan spieth leads the field at minus 8. >> eddie murphy will receive an award. in a statement kennedy center president said through his appearances on saturday night live and work as a movie star eddie murphy has shown that like mark twain, he was yeared ahead of his time. that does it for me on this friday edition of "way too early." coming up in "morning joe" we're live from illinois where tornadoes destroyed a community. that destructive weather is now on the nooufmove. plus the latest from south

carolina where new dash cam video sheds light on what happened moments before a police officer shot and killed an unarmed man and action in the race for 2016. former rhode island governor joins us after he states he's considering a run for the democratic nomination. he'll explain he he believes, quote, hillary clinton should in the be president. that and much more after this. shopping for a used car is so intimidating. i mean, you feel like you have to be this expert negotiator to get a fair deal.
