scarborough who said a source told him that nikki haley, north carolina governor, is being considered now for u.s. secretary of state along with rudy giuliani. notable because haley during the south carolina primary was an avid opponent of donald trump getting the nomination. now there's a report from "bloomberg" and other news sources that texas senator ted cruz is under consideration for u.s. attorney general. he was an even more avid opponent of donald trump, didn't endorse trump until a few weeks ago. they said terrible things today, it's obvious that democrats are ready for a big fight over donald trump's vow to cut taxes on the rich. sneaking away with his family, donald trump told diners at a pricey new york restaurant he will lower their taxes. >> we'll get your taxes down. don't worry. >> reporter: as candidates for top jobs visit trump tower today, tax cuts are a priority. >> we want to be in a position

the school principal and police are investigating. jim? >> all right, chris gordon, thanks, man. we've seen lots of protests against president-elect donald trump over this past week, but his supporters in northern virginia say they're relieved and excited to see him take office. >> it's going to be strictly how the people feel and for the people. i was very satisfied as just a medically retired veteran. i was satisfied and kind of relieved. racist. just because there's change needed doesn't make him a racist. he's a fair person. he'll represent all parties. >> trump lost virginia but it ended up being more of a battleground than many thought it would be. tonight hillary clinton will make her first public appearance since she conceded the presidential race last week. the children's defense fund will honor mrs. clinton here in washington. that group says clinton has been

new questions after a dramatic motorcycle chase in northern virginia last week. chopper 4 captured the scene as it unfolded live here on news 4 last friday. well now we know this started as a reteen traffic stop after an issue with the motorcyclist's registration. the guy took off and police chased him through rush hour traffic. it left some to wonder what police protocol in a situation like this one. our kristin wright is getting some answers.

kristen? >> reporter: yeah, so doreen, fortunately this ended peacefully but not before police chased this motorcyclist in heavy traffic just like this. so, yes, a lot of questions about what's the protocol, what do you do, what can't you do? we asked all of those questions today. some agencies have a no-chase policy. that was not the case here on friday. fairfax county police officer don't know. friday, it was a motorcycle chase. chopper 4 over the pursuit. the motorcyclist wasn't displaying his registration. that's a minor infraction. so why the one-hour chase through two counties, three police agencies in hot pursuit? fairfax started the chase. the department's ten-page pursuit of violator's policy say chasing motorists is justified when the need to catch the suspect even for something minor

ratio with the primary factor being public safety. >> reporter: the chase weaved in and out of rush hour traffic in fairfax and loudoun counties. at one point, it looked like police had him. they almost blocked him in but he scooted right by and kept going. >> they take into consideration traffic conditions, weather conditions, road conditions, light conditions. and so it's an ongoing decision-making proc intersection, under the spotlight from a fairfax county police chopper. >> our ground units are supposed to reduce their speed and let the helicopter take command of it. they can keep the violator in sight. they did that. >> reporter: nobody was hurt and finally the motorcyclist stopped and gave himself up on the side of the road. andrew kinsler is in jail tonight facing several charges including eluding police. >> i would have to say it worked

do if you find yourself suddenly with a chase happening around you? well, police tell me you should try to pull off onto the shoulder if you can do safely. if you can't, you should slow down. so fairfax county, loudoun county and virginia state police have quite interesting and detailed pursuit policies. if you'd like to take a look, find those in the nbc washington app. just search "chase." vance, back to you. >> thanks, kristin. a police officer in manslaughter after a deadly shooting there. the man named philando castile was killed during a traffic stop back in july. his girlfriend streamed the aftermath of the shooting live on facebook. the officer fired as castile reached for his i.d. after he told the officer that he had a gun permit and was armed. >> the mere mention or presence

>> and it's the beginning to a different chapter and we all hope and pray that the right thing is done in this issue. >> if convicted,s that officer could face up to ten years in prison. the murder at the airport in oklahoma city yesterday may have been revenge for a workplace dispute. a southwest airlines employee was gunned down as he was leaving work yesterday. police shut down air traffic for hours while they searched for dead in the airport parking garage. it appears he took his own life. the attacker left his job at southwest last year for reasons that are not clear. investigators believe the shooting may have been retaliation. the victim was michael winchester, the father of kansas city chiefs player james winchester. insecure tracks, dock emergency experts, incomplete plans on how to fix it all. a new report today from the
