out waste in washington. tim kaine is accusing him of painting all federal workers as corrupt. sean spicer said it's just making sure the american taxpayers get the most out of their money. >> the freeze is meant to pause, allow there to be an analysis of what can make this better. >> union leaders say the freeze means you'll be waiting in longer lines at social security offices. it could put the food supply at risk and force agencies to hire even more expensive private contractors to get the work done. meanwhile, the president is pushing ahead on both the dakota access and keystone pipelines. supporters say the pipelines will create jobs and cut energy costs. mr. trump called the process getting through federal

area. >> president trump says he's, quote, going to drain the swamp, get rid of waste. but the president of one of the big federal unions wrote donald trump a letter about two weeks ago warning him that a hiring freeze would have some very bad consequences. the american federation of government employees represents almost 700,000 federal workers, many of them in our area. this letter says trump needs to cut the growing number of federal contractors instead and get rid of waste in their service contracts. government figures say there are almost 2 million u.s. federal employees world wide, but the union president we talked to says 5 million federal contractors are working for the government. president trump's executive order tells federal agencies they shouldn't hire new contractors to make up for this hiring freeze. the president of the american federation of government employees told me they're also concerned about t

affairs and other agencies, that even nongovernment workers depend on day to day. >> social security claims, they will wait longer for those claims to be processed. veterans will wait longer for their disability claims to be processed. the safety of our food, people will stand in line longer at airports to be screened by tsa. >> the hiring freeze does not include the military. today at 5:00, we talk to a student who was in the process of applying for federal jobs and now he is thinking about a plan b. >> the obama administration knew this was coming. president obama tried to go on a hiring spree. but if you got the job but haven't started working yet, you could also still be affected by that. >> get caught in that. a

its power. >> more than a dozen attorney generals across the country have gone to court for the consumer protection bureau. >> this is a big deal for consumers. now the obama administration created what is called the consumer financial protection bureau to protect you against unfair and abusive financial practices. but in october a united states court of appeals in d.c. found the structure of the cfpb unconstitutional. that agency is now appealing the decision. and it's getting a lot of support from 17 attorneys general including in d.c. and maryland. today they announced they filed a motion to intervene on the grounds that the trump administration has indicated it intends to reduce the cfpb's authority and independence. the motion filed suggests the trump administration is also likely to fire the current director of the

would undermine the power of the states to effectively protect you. in 2015, the cfpb provided more than $5 million in restitution for consumers. we saw something today that we haven't seen in a long time, several days. yeah, the sun. >> somewhere. >> it came out a little bit. parts of the day we saw some sunshine, guys. i've got the stat for you coming up in just a second. right now the clouds continue across our region as our nor'easter continues to turn just off our coastline. take a look outside. it's a chilly afternoon, 48 degrees. the winds have been gusting upwards of 30 miles an hour and temperatures dropping tonight into the 30s

inches at the airport. that just kind of shows you what our january has been. it's been on the mild side for the most part and rather gloomy. the radar not showing much, but showing a couple of showers uph area. tomorrow may be the nicest day of the month, 60 degrees, plenty of sunshine. i think we hit 60 in the city. tomorrow's morning drive, chilly and dry. lunchtime, maybe take lunch outdoors. you might be able to do that

road here with "la la land." i love this movie. i think it totally deserved it. as always happen this is time of the oscar season, sort of the perceived front- runner gets a little backlash. there is a little bit of that debate going on. but i honestly love this movie. it is my favorite of the year. i thought being a big movie buff, it sort of had the perfect marriage of nostalgia to singing in the rain and american in paris. but also a really modern edge with the bittersweet finish and a nice little dilemma between two lovers trying to choose between their hearts and careers. it really wrecked me. i loved it. >> i'm thinking of the hashtag oscars so white. did the academy address it? >> yeah. that's been the story the last two

i was out there last year and even saw picketers outside complaining about the diversity issues. you had viola davis and denzel washington get nominated for "fences," which is a great movie. viola has to be a lock for supporting actress. denzel and casey are the two favorites for actor. you had naomi harris for "moonlight." i think whatever steps they took actually paid off and we have a nice diverse crowd this year. >> there's so much to choose from. which category do you think will be the toughest category to predict on oscar night? >> the one i'm going to be on the edge of my seat on oscar night is the best

to me, this could go either way. early on a lot of people were thinking natalie portman. but then there was a big upset for the french actress in elle. she could win too. but then also you can't rule out emma stone in "la la land." if "la la land" starts sweeping, you could see her sort of ride that wave into a win in best actress as well. >> you could go on twitter to see me and jason go back and forth because we both loved amy adams in arrival. appreciate your expertise. you can see the full list of nominations in the nbc washington app. just search oscar nominations. bringing back
