second man of interest. where does that stand this morning? >> reporter: good morning, they spoke to that second person and found he is no longer interested in the investigation. that much we can tell you. where he can also tell you this is the bike path itself right on the west side of lower manhattan. just where this white pickup truck from home depot came barrelling through, killing eight people. most foreign visitors. five from argentina. one from belgium and two americans. he told the fbi he felt good about what he had done. made a trial run a week ago sunday to find oat which turns he was going to make because the plan was to go onto the brooklyn bridge. he made it that far. hit the school bus with children inside. one was critically injured in the attack as well. see the video of him wondering around. and finally put down by officer nash who is held a hero tuesday

he killed americans. >> mr. trump also called on congress to dismantle the diversity visa lottery program, which allowed him into the united states from uzbekistan in 2010. the program randomly selects applicants with low immigration rates. mr. trump says it isn't tough enough. >> have to get much less politically correct. >> president called the diversity program a chuck schumer beauty. schumer initially supported the law, but in 2013 backed a bipartisan bill to scrap it. schumer fired back, i guess it's

not too soon to politicize a tragedy. >> the president ought to stop tweeting and start leading the. >> the president's call for action a sharp contrast after the vegas massacre which claimed 58 livings. said it was too soon to talk about gun control. >> i said it wasn't appropriate to politicize the conversation. i don't believe we are. we're talking about protecting american lives. >> tuesday's attack have now been identified by authorities. they range in age from 23-48 years old. the youngest victim was nicholas an american software engineer living in new york. second american darin drake. also killed in the attack. his father became emotional while remembering him yesterday. >> he had everything.

>> it is very distracting to the president as it would be to any citizen to be investigated for something. >> also said in the indictment of his former campaign chief, paul manafort and even if you look at that, there's not a mention of trump in there. has nothing to do with us. the president had a bone to pick with "the washington post." wrote a story about the reaction to the stories on monday. up stairs in home with the tv on, trump fumes over russia indictments. specifically the reporting the anger was visible to those who interacted with him. trump told the times i'm not actually angry at anybody. real specifically the firing of mike flynn and james comey that led to bob mueller's appointment. told trump that kushner was

giving bad political advice, trump agreed according to a source familiar with the situation. coming up. house republicans are set to unveil tax plan in just a few short hours from now. reports suggest they have argued over is the name. first reports the president wants to call the tax bill the cut, cut, cut act. leaders disagree. the white house is perfect fine with it. >> if it's called the cut cut bill great. the biggest priority he has is making sure it does what he laid out the priorities. >> here's what we currently know about the bill. individual standard deduction will be double d. it would eliminate the alternative minimum tax and

knock out state and local tax deductions. on the corporate side, aims to reduce the rate from 35% to 20% with a repatuation tax still being negotiated f. thank you for mentioning. staying back from the trip to asia to remain individual lent and making sure the tax cuts pass. so if i have any problems, i will be blaming mnuchin and comey. believe me.

had 24 hours to help. it's funny what he said about mnuchin, didn't sound unfamiliar. you remember a months ago he said something similar on the stage with tom price. if health care reform is not passed. tom price is going to be fired in a week. saw what happened there. after the reform, republicans house members are meeting at 9:00 a.m. this morning. that bill will be posted to the public at 11:15 a.m. the question is comes down to the middle class. and whether the tax cuts will actually implemented for the middle class. have the elimination of the estate tax. corporate tags tax rate going down to 20%. president trump, pence, republican leaders said repeatedly the middle class will see the tax cuts. the question at this point is whether that should be the case. the details should be more understood when those come out.

kelly moore who was the bannon backed candidate to replace jeff flake out in that race. suddenly with jared kushner, the son-in-law sort of on the outs and mueller investigation intensifies, more people from within the administration are being interviewed by the grand jury and by the mueller investigation, donald trump is increasingly looking here to the outside as frustration grows and instance like tax reform here, these issues we saw this week, they're trying to unveil tax reform plan. you're saying paul manafort and you're seeing the likes of rick gates walking into the fbi indicted. live for us in washington this morning. thanks for that. still ahead, the fallout from the harvey weinstein scandal continues, new sexual misconduct allegations have now been levelled against several hollywood a-listers. parts of the storm. get a full check on the forecast coming up next.

welcome back, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian and alongside ayman mohyeldin and louis burgdorf. new information about the new york city terrorist and alleged plans. hit with federal charges for bribing material support to a terrorist organization and violence of a motor vehicle in the attack that killed eight and injured a dozen more. criminal complaint, told the fbi that after the attack on the west side highway, planned to drive to the brooklyn bridge to hit more people. he also said he wanted to kill as many people as he could. wanted to display isis flag in the front and back of the truck. according to the fbi decided against it because he didn't want to draw attention to himself. >> also learned he was interviewed by the department of homeland security back in 2015 because he was listed as a point of contact by two men alleged to have majoverstayed visas.

bring us up to speed on the latest with the investigation. what direction is it going. >> reporter: well, i think right now, ayman, they're trying to figure out if there are other people involved or new about the plans he had. there was a gentleman yesterday the fbi talked to. very interested in talking with him. after speaking with him realized he's of no interest going forward. here's what we know this morning. saw two bicyclists, probably three or four all in all this morning. back on the bike path here. the truck came down from the north to the south here. striking eight bicyclists and people on this path. here comes another bicyclist right now. killing eight of them. two americans, six foreign nationals. he made this turn in the truck and ended up on chamber street just a block east where he ran into the school bus and disabled

his vehicle. the plan apparently according to the fbi is he wanted to continue on to the brooklyn bridge. that didn't happen. and a 28-year-old nypd officer hail aed a hero. put an end to this. striking the suspect in the abdomen. in terms of investigation will go on quite some time. police are done with their work on the ground in new york city. new yorkers as hay do best are back to work and going back to school as usual, which is what everybody would like to see. guys, back to you. it white house says it's considering the suspect an enemy combatant. open to sending him to guantanamo bay. >> do you want the assailant from new york -- >> i would certainly consider that. i would certainly consider that.

sg . >> the point he was making is he would support that. he wasn't necessarily advocating for it. he certainly would support it if he felt like that was the best move. >> are there advantages in terms of sending any terror suspect to guantanamo. >> that's a question we would have to dive into deeper and, certainly, walk with the process before answering that. >> senator john mccain indicated sending the attacker to gitmo is he's a terrorist and he should be kept there. he's from lindsey graham. >> when you find somebody associated with radical islam who takes up their cause and kills in the name of radical islam, what we should try to find out about that person is how did you get here? are you working with other people? under the law of war, i've been a military lawyer for 33 years, we have the authority in the united states to detain this man as an unlawful enemy combat entity. you'll never convince me the best way to get intelligence in this war which is now in the

backyard is to read somebody the miranda rights and telling them they have the right to legal representation. >> after the federal charges were announced, critical of the trump administration's decision not to declare the suspect an enemy combat entity. tweeting out appears trump administration continuing the obama policy of criminalizing the war. stop using the terms and arguing they could detain terror suspects without it. since been revised by the trump administration. during the campaign, trump promised to load up gitmo with really bad dudes. >> former campaign manager is suggesting that george papadopoulos, the foreign adviser who pled guilty to misleading the fbi, was an outsider who they inherited from the campaign of current housing and urban development secretary ben carson and who reported the trump campaign co-chairman.

>> george papadopoulos had no formal role on the campaign. low level volunteer. if he wanted to insert himself into the campaign with ideas and thaul thoughts, he would have done that through the foreign policy team. he had no formal role whatsoever in a structure. >> how does a low level guy end up in the same list as general kellogg. >> again, that's the real question we have to look at. how did he end up in that initial list. what we know about george papadopoulos, he was originally hired by the ben carson campaign and came highly recommended from a nonprofit organization in washington, d.c. who vowed for his credibility to the carson campaign. joining us from washington once again, nbc. let's talk about the conversation surrounding the latest attack out of new york. president trump having some harsh words for democrats in his

call for changes to the immigration system because of the attack on tuesday. list take a listen to that. >> i'm going to ask congress to immediately initiate work to get rid of this program. diversery and diversity lottery. there are bills already about ending chain migration. we have a lot of good bills in there. we're being stopped by democrats and honestly they don't want to do what's right for our country. >> pointing blame to chuck schumer. heard from blake on twitter trying to defend schumer. >> the diversity visa lottery program the president was talking about, there's about 1 million people in the country who have come in off that program. what president trump tweeted out yesterday morning, called it a chuck schumer beauty.

placing the blame on chuck schumer. along with jeff blake, came to the defense of chuck schumer and said perhaps this is not the time a native of new york should be attacked. on the premise of chuck schumer, he was the author back in the 1990s, also part of the gang of aide on 2013 that would have ridded the u.s. immigration system of that diversity visa lottery program. >> let me ask you about this. the president also commented on his approval rating. been talking about that recently over the past couple of days since our own polls came out with the "wall street journal" numbers getting lower and lower. he had comment saying i just got fantastic numbers. listing his biggest accomplishments including deregulation and low unemployment rates. the numbers are actually telling a very different story with him losing numbers even among his

base of white uneducated men. >> exactly. the numbers we have run counter to that. see the nbc news wall street journal poll that came out on sunday. 38% approval rating. at the same time, the president the putting the numbers out there. he got the numbers from the rnc chairwoman. important to also remind people that in many of these swing states when it comes down to elections, remember a year ago just before the election, it's not like donald trump had great stayingering numbers at that time either. we'll he's at 38% approval rati rating, the lowest it's been since a month after he took office, when it comes to electorally, you have to look at virginia governor race. tuesday. you have a situation where there's a republican candidate trying to walk the line of trump support versus trying to get more establishment republicans on his side. the president still has i guess

decedent numbers when you're looking at some of the areas. >> virginia governor anymores race will be a litmus test. >> look at the president so far throughout the last month he's been in office, we've had this conversation over and over again. nancy pelosi now urging democrats to stay away from calls for impeachment despite the fact many of her colleagues are calling for that very thing. stand down. stay away from him. what's the idea behind this. >> the idea behind these democratic leaders, and said that they need to allow the mueller investigation to play out as well as the senate intelligence committee to do their work in investigating this. they said perhaps this conversation should take place down the line, but they're encouraging their members who are putting in new articles including these by the end of the month. put in new line for impeachment. they said give this chance and opportunity to play out.

in the meanwhile, you have the likes of white house former white house chief strategist steve bannon himself telling the president that he could face impeachment, but also being ousted by his own cabinet. nancy pelosi saying let this play out. let republicans deal with this themselves. >> a lot to watch out for. thank you so much for joining us this morning. president trump set to embark on first asia trip tomorrow. visit china, japan, philippines and vietnam. comes as poll shows a party line divide rating the president's handling of the north korea crisis. 8-10 republicans approve. nearly 9-10 democrats and 6-10 independents disapprove. 25% of americans now think military action is needed to contain north korea's nuclear threat. down from 33% back in september. 64% say the threat can be contained.
