8:00 am
i think people made up their minds about the e-mails. >> this is bigger than watergate. >> you are fascinated with sex. we have to sp pipeline. ? good morning. welcome to "sunday today." i'm willie geist. we are nine days away from a presidential election that feels like it began a lifetime ago. both campaigns say they want to know more from fbi director james comey after the revelation that they have flagged e-mails, stoking the story right before
8:01 am
new development, quote, very troubling, calling out director comey to explain. donald trump seizing the opportunity to remind voters of the e-mail controversy. we'll speak live to his campaign manager kellyanne conway later. and justin timberlake to talk about his rise from mickey mouse career. what was your strategy. >> it can bring out a lot of courage. at the end of the day, you know you're getting the opportunity to do what you love. >> good conversation with justin a bit later. before we get to the presidential campaign. officials in central italy assessing a damage after a powerful 6.6 earthquake struck
8:02 am
buildings crumbled in the historic city of norcia. the quake could be felt 100 miles away. so far no one has killed or trapped in the rubble, but there are several reports of a hurt. this was a tremor from a quake that struck the same area in august that killed 300 people. what sparked a huge fire on board an american airlines plane on friday. the ntsb says a turbine disk brokelo and sending debris as far as a half miles away. 20 of the 61 passengers suffered minor injuries. and the cleveland underance just one win away from the world series title. they beat the chicago cushion last nib behind ace pitcher corey kluber. they've been waiting 71 years. so far the cubs have lost both games at wrigley. they get another shot tonight
8:03 am
be the franchise's first world series win since 1948. now to the race for the white house. the fall outthat the fbi found new e-mails related to the e-mail server investigation. a move secretary clinton calls unprecedented. let's get the latest from hallie jackson. she's outside trump tower here in new york city. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hey there, willie. good morning. we are learn that t director surprised even the justice department with his decision to notify congress of that new information, a decision that apparently defied the department's recommendation sources tell us. now he is under fire as hillary clinton's campaign looking to get off defense goes on attack. you newest all-out asaul from the hillary clinton campaign not against her republican rival,
8:04 am
unprecedented and deeply troubling, because voters deserve to get full and complete facts. >> reporter: clinton pushing back hard against the letter from comey about the fbi's review of new e-mails relating to the inquire query into clinton's private server e-mails that come from the laptop of anthony weiner, the estranged husband of huma abedin, and under investigation for now we are learning that that her was sent opposed to the justice department. those sources say comey himself deciding telling congress was better than waiting and hoping news of the discovery wouldn't leak. >> very, very serious things must be happening, and must have been found.
8:05 am
found since fbi agents have not even analyzed the e-mails yet, with both sides calling on the fbi to share more. four top senate democrats now demanding the fbi give them answers by tomorrow, pointing out the e-mails may be duplication of what they already have. says the letter is light on facts, heavy on innuendo. >> there's no evidence of wrongdoing, no charge of wrongdoing, no indication this is even about hillary. >> there's sometimes a big difference between the way things look and the way they are. >> reporter: the controversy put a new spotlight on abdin and her estranged husband, with trump taking aim at weiner. >> use like humai don't like hu and telling anthony weiner all
8:06 am
abdin, hoping to show that what looks like a bombshell is actually fizzling out. trump's team really obviously sees it differently, an adviser saying he will go on offense big time. watch for him to hit this today later in battleground nevada. >> lucky for us we have one of those advisers, donald trump's campaign manager kelly anne about this, which is not very much. we know in the course of investigating anthony weiner, they found thousands of e-mails, according to nbc's reporting, but don't know the content. last night donald trump said this is the biggest scandal. do you know something about the content that the rest of the people don't know? >> no, of course not, but what we do know when hillary clinton says this is unprecedented what
8:07 am
unnecessary is having the private server in the first place. she can't escape that. she's playing the victim now. they're doing an all-out assault on fbi director comey, shooting the messenger plus, a full body slam, and i think that's risky strategy as well. but for hillary clinton violating long-standing policy setting up this private server, failing to turn over an additional 17,000, bleaching them so they would be permanently be in this position. she could just ask huma abdin what is in those e-mails. she could call us -- call into the "today" show and tell you, willie geist, here's what in the e-mails. >> this is an open investigation on the eve of an election. that's why the doj recommended not to proceed with the letter. if you were on the other side of this, would you think this was the right thing to do on the eve of an election to be so vague about it without knowing the
8:08 am
position from my view. had he sat on the investigation, he may well have been interfering with the the election as well. the go and vote for hillary clinton, then this investigation is reopened or i guess a separate investigation is launched, then what? she's already president under this cloud of corruption that really has defined the last couple years. >> the country has gotten whiplash, because it was just july when your campaign was going after james prosecution. that was his recommendation to the attorney general in that case. donald trump suggested the process was rigged there, that in fact james comey was acting with the doj on behalf of hillary clinton to help her win the election. have you changed your opinion about jim comey? >> no, these are two separate things. here is why. on july 5th he came forward and told the public we're not going to prosecute hillary clinton, then he went on to completely undercut that conclusion by calling her reckless and
8:09 am
situation. two days later goes in front of congress under oath and says, well, she didn't have one server -- she had many devices, they destroyed evidence. yes, in fact under oath there was national security and classified information being exchanged on that server. this is different. this is a separate investigation and i think it was an impossible situation. let's not let him be the victim too much either, in that he had done a with, maybe we wouldn't be in this position. that's also on huma. i understand she clearly signed that she confirmed she had turned over all the devices that was what was demanded of hillary's team, yet we have one with maybe 15,000 e-mails. i think it's incredibly ironic this stems from another investigation, has nothing to do with the republican party, the trump campaign into anthony weiner's sexting. >> do you expect we'll learn the
8:10 am
i know that the general nature of these types of investigations is that they take a long time. so i think the clinton campaign is pressuring comey to do something that may not be possible given the short time. let's talk about the trump campaign's path to victory. you know that it's always been a tough path. there are many swings states that are swinging in her favor leaning that way. many people have pointed out interesting where he's spending his time, places like has pretty comfortable leads, pennsylvania as well. are you spending your time in the right places? >> yes, and he does up to three states per day. she doesn't do that usually. she'll be in a few states today, including new mexico. michigan on monday, but he'll go back to pennsylvania many times, so we see the map, florida, ohio, north carolina, iowa look
8:11 am
too, and we have a lot of other places we're going. >> is your internal policies different? you mention new hampshire, pennsylvania, michigan, she has leads in much of -- >> but she never gets beyond 46% practically. if amid st. the fact that my candy has such a tough ceiling, i would worry, if you're an undecided voter, willie, what are you going to learn in the been wrong all along? those undecided voters generally go against the status quo, against the person who represents more of the same. we also like the early returns, the information we're getting from the rnc every day, they provide us with information about the early returns, compared to where we were in 2012. >> look at the front page this morning of "the washington post," a story from a reporter david faronhold who is doing
8:12 am
donald trump basically hasn't given as much as he's claimed he's given. there's a simple way for us to know how much he's given. that would be to release his taxes. you've made it a year and a half without releasing them. why won't you release the tax returns. >> for the same reasonable he always stays the the lawyers and accountants said don't dot it while under an active audit. but he has put forward a 104-page fci form. >> that's not -- >> that journalist and that paper are way against mr. trump, we know that, but from my personal knowledge and from -- this man is a very generous person with his time and with his money and has helped a lot of people over the years. that foundation, the trump foundation, no one is on the payroll, no family member, there's no overhead. >> you acknowledged, though, kelly anne, the irs says he
8:13 am
>> that's the same organization that's audited him, of course they think that, but he has advice from his accountants and lawyers. i think talking about disclosing one's tax returns versus here we are under the second fbi investigation in a year, most people i know are not under fbi investigation, let alone two of them. i think people will look at hillary clinton saying this has my hesitation, my reluctance all along, and i simply can't elect somebody. it's too risky of a choice. disclosures and transparency. >> you're not going to surprise is in nine days and releeks the tax returns? >> woulder going to surprise everyone and win the election. dylan is here with a quick check of the weather. >> on this sunday we are looking at heavy rain across northwestern california. we'll see two days of rain, today and tomorrow a second round of storms. we could see all in all about four inches of rain, some of
8:14 am
oregon as well. we could even see 5 to 10 inches of snow in the sierra nevada. elsewhere across the country, it's all about the record warm temperatures. we're looking at highs running about 15 to 20 degrees above and that's your latest forecast. >> dylan, thank you very much. straight ahead, the highs and lows of the week, including

>> zero. >> reporter: you would have to get by poll workers at 1,686 different election divisions, so i dropped into one of our training sessions to see if they were worried. so you're training pretty much every person? >> we give every section of the city to come out. is the idea of a rigged election something that any of you are worried about? essentially you're the front line of defense about the idea of this. >> no, >> reporter: donald trump seems to disagree. large-skarge, in-person voter fraud he's warned of. his -- in philly, the man in charge of that effort is local gop chairman joe difelice. >> his efforts may hurt the right to vote. >> we need all the help we can get. 7 to 1 democrats to republicans.
8:46 am
>> we're going to have to determine after election day. >> you don't think republicans worried about a rigged election will keep people out of a polling place like this by intimidating them? >> you will not see one instance of republican intimidation in this city? >> reporter: confident? >> 100%. jacob joins me now. >> i've interviewed republican attorneys general, i'm for donald tmp >> it just doesn't happen. i am a fan of surveying. i'm more likely to get eaten by a scharff than it is for an incidence of voter fraud to happen in the united states. as i learned in philadelphia, we basically are 50 un-united states when it comes to our voting system. it's very decentralized. there's 8,000 different jurisdictions across the country, different machinery, different rules and regulation and army of poll workers who are
8:47 am
happening. >> important for people to know you saw that you played pacman, so a hack would have to be at the site. >> exactly. what you will hear is we still have to phase out -- we need optical scans and paper ballots for a fail-safe. >> thanks for looking into it, jacob. you can catch more of our "red white and the nbc news app. next on "sunday today," 15 million bats, all in one place, drawing tourists from all over the country.
