morning.nal correspondent peter peter, a lot to catch savannah. insiders are casting tomorrow's comey testimony as the political e kquivalent as the super bowl. and today, officials will take their turn testifying before the senate intel committy, about the new lengths that the president went to shut down the investigation. and new reports that his attorney general offered to resign. 24 hours ahead of james comey's senate testimony, director of international intelligence, dan coats, takes his turn in the spotlight. "the washington post," saying that coats said in march, had intervened for him to get to back off of russia and former security adviser michael flynn. near the end of a briefing at the white house, "the post" reports the president asked everyone to leave the room except for coats and mike pam

peyo. overnight, a spokesperson for coats said he never felt pressured by the president or anyone else in the administration, to influence any intelligence matters or ongoing investigations. also this morning, "the new york times" reports, the day after president trump asked comey to end his investigation into flynn, comey told attorney general jeff sessions he did not want to be left alone again with the president. while comey believed the attorney general should protect the fbi from white house influence, quali"the times" rep that sessions couldn't guarantee. the president said this. >> i wish him luck. >> reporter: sources close to comey says, when he testifies thursday, he's likely to detail a pattern of what he believed were inappropriate conversations with the president about the russia investigation. but he's not expected to accuse president trump of on obstruction of justice. white house allies are looking to contain any damage.

one pro-trump group attacking comey's credibility. >> james comey, another d.c. insider in it for himself. >> reporter: tuesday, the president's son, eric, lashing out at those who oppose his father's administration. >> to me, they're not even people. it's so, so sad. morality has gone. morals out of the window. >> reporter: aeroturmond detail turmoil between the president and his attorney general. his frustration with sessions. not just in his eyes, unnecessarily recusing himself from the russia inquiry. but monday morning quarterbacking other decisions, including the travel ban. sean spicer refusing to say whether the president has lost confidence in sessions. >> i have not had a discussion with him about that. >> reporter: no update from the white house if they had that discussion yet. this morning, as we noted, there's multiple results that jeff sessions offered to resign after this relationship with the

president grew increasingly tense. "the new york times" reports that sessions told the president he needed freedom to do his job. the justice department is declining to comment. the white house is referring all questions related to the russia inquiry to the president's outside lawyer. matt and savannah? >> all right. peter alexander at the white house the thank you as always. let's bring in chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." good morning to you. we have another report of trump allegedly saying to an official in the government, in this case, the director of national intelligence, to lay off the russia investigation. something the director doesn't exactly acknowledged happened. he never felt pressured to do that. what does it add up to when you add in the pressure to the attorney general? >> the russia investigation has consumed the president on every level. the report about the director of national intelligence, dan coats, he wanted him to go to comey and lay off of mike flynn and the russia investigation. in talking to people very close

and supportive of dan coats, he's been concerned all along by the atmosphere of the relationship between his interactions with the white house. now, he testifies today. you know, there's two days of these hearings. comey's tomorrow. that's the big one. he testifies today. and that's going to be a big part of this conversation, as well. and he's going to add to this obvious nature where the president is just consumed. >> we don't know what james comey is going to say until the words come out of his mouth. but there's words that he will stop short of accusing the president of trying to obstruction justice. might we fall into a situation where we might have the legal definition of obstruction versus the emotional definition of obstruction? >> yes. that's why obstruction of justice charges are hard to make hold on this point. all of the circumstantial evidence here says the president is trying to do everything he could to stop this investigation, for one reason or the other. we don't have the motivation behind it just yet.

but for one -- and he's asked people to step in multiple times. yes, james comey will have to explain why, if he was so concerned to write a memo, he didn't take it to his superior, in this case, the attorney general or the deputy attorney general. i'm sorry. we're in a crisis here as a country with our institutions. if the reasoning is, what the fbi of director is supposedly say, he didn't know who to trust at the justice department, if we're in a situation where the director of the fbi can't trust his superiors, that superior offering his resignation to the president, where are we here? we're not in a very good place. and big picture-wise, folks on capitol hill, this is another gut-check moment for them. >> a role for congress to play. we have three branches of government. >> and the executive branch is not functioning right now. >> chuck, thank you very much. i'll be in washington tomorrow, along with lester holt, for james comey's testimony. the broadcast network will carry it live. we get things started. and live coverage on these nbc

to some, 25-year-old reality leigh winner is a traitor. to others, a patriot. this morning, the top-secret government document she's accused of leaking is setting off a firestorm. >> i have difficulty believing she actually did this. what they're saying she did. >> reporter: her mother and stepfather say she is not highly political. she called donald trump an orange fascist on twitter. >> expressing one's political beliefs doesn't mean that they're a bad person. >> reporter: prosecutors say winner admits leaking the explosive documents to the online news site, the intercept. >> any disclosure of classified or sensitive information can threaten our national security. >> reporter: the top-secret document revealing russian intelligence targeted local election officials in a company that provided software for the 2016 election. the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee tells "usa today" he does not think votes were affected.

reserve the best portions to the reviewers. the cut of the fish, to the steak, to the vegetables, they hand-pick it all so when a food critic comes to a restaurant, that person, he or she gets the best meal possible. >> i thought it was anonymous, the critics. >> people know who they are. >> it makes sense. make sure it's warm. it's the best version of the meal in the restaurant. it might be foolish because you want everybody to have that. let the people be your critic. especially now, writing reviews on line. >> i think it's assumed that the critic gets the best they have. but what surprised me, oh, that good piece. save that, in case a critic comes in. >> that happens like 5:00 in the ampb afternoon. that portion, in case the critic comes in. >> you're reading the critic's review. and that person is reviewing food that you're not getting when you go to the restaurant. >> it makes no sense. should they disguise themselves, you think? >> i think so. it's like a yelp --

myself, to really decide what i wanted in a partner or not. >> we want to be happy with ourselves before we can be happy with someone else. and so, we're getting rid of the time press. >> we said the relationships are more about convenience. and for our generation, love. i'd say it's love. they want to find a partner to love and they want to raise children that will get love. >> reporter: for "today," al roker, nbc news, new york. >> the love doctor. >> our millennial correspondent. >> right? irony there. in our survey, we asked millennials on a scale of one to five, how important is it for them to get married? just about half of them, a lilt under half of them said five. so, important. >> i'm curious as my kids get older sto to figure out if there's more of a difference between me and my parents on these issues or me and my children. >> that's interesting. what do you find? >> i think there's more of a difference between me and my kids. >> you think so? >> i do. because i'm a lot older.

sauce. so, once you get the patties going, you let them cook. i love the "today" show. everything is ready. i can just keep moving down. >> like an assembly line. after these have cooked, you save some of the juice they leave behind. >> exactly. that's where a lot of the flavor is. i take the patties out. and the sauce happens, with just onion, cook this around. i like to get the onions caramelized. we'll speed forward. one of the key ingredients is whiskey. you can use beef broth if you're not into booze. >> are you kidding me? >> i'm giving options. >> carson, have you ever substituted beef broth for whiskey? >> never in my life, mr. lawyer. >> it's too late in life to worry about doing that, carson. after this cooks down, i use barbecue sauce. it's a good convenience ingredie ingredient, and jarred jalapenos. >> this cooks for how long?

>> for five minutes. simmers away. this is what the sauce looks like. beautiful and rich and thick. and the patties just go right in. that's hot. that's why they gave me a hot pad. i haven't had all my coffee today. what i love about this is you let the patties simmer away in the sauce. and then, i have toasted buns, the guests come, spoon the sauce over the patties. >> we don't have to be neat. get a little extra sauce on there. pop it right in one of those. >> i'm glad i don't have to be neat. that's not in my nature. the buns are toasted. >> how do they taste, guys? >> incredible. like the best burger we have. >> they're so juicy. >> can you hear? how is the meat so tender? >> it helps to simmer them in the sauce for a while. it imparts more of the beef flavor. and it's so spicy, it has a kick to it. i have got a simple coleslaw with cabbage, peppers, carrots. if you want to sweeten it up,

you can add some shredded apples. >> i like tradition aal slaw. here's the big question. i'll poll our little team downstairs. do you serve the coleslaw on the side? or do you put the coleslaw on the slider. >> i put it on the slider. the sliders are so spicy. it cools down the spice. >> cut it inside. >> and cilantro. just for you, i'm going to -- >> let's put a little of that -- serve it the way you like it. that's what i'm here for. >> and i will take a bite of that. savannah, you've been strangely silent. >> because my mouth is full. strangely silent. it's delicious. >> this is amazing. >> what's great, we have the whiskey sliders. and she teams it up with sangria. it's like a one-two punch. >> i'm ingrejecting a little cl in the mix. >> anything special? >> rose wine, chunks of
