president's ban on transgender people in the military. kristin welker joins us to break down shocking reve

back to politics because there is so much going on at the white house today. >> to start with the president shocked a lot of people today with a tweet banning transgender troops in the military. kristin welker is tracking developments and joins us now. >> this is really a shocking reversal in military policy from president trump. he announced it this morning in a series of three tweets effectively

no longer serve. what was so striking about it, though, is that a lot of people didn't seem to have a whole lot of heads up. we believe it came after a big budget battle on capitol hill including an amendment that would fund some of his key campaign priorities but at the same time give money to medical services for transgender troops. the administration was getting pressured from some republicans to try to deal with that spending portion of it. even they were caught offguard by the fact that the president went so far as to actually ban transgender individuals from serving in the military. it got a big back lash today, reversed an obama era policy. a lot of leaders in the transgender community say this is a step backward. even lawmakers on capitol hill saying this was not the right move. according to the latest statistics, if you actually get into the details overall spending for medical

for transgender service members is quite a small portion of the broader defense budget. and as of late tonight the white house, the pentagon couldn't answer basic questions about how and when this policy is going to be implemented and even if it meant that those who are currently serving are going to be immediately discharged. the defense secretary was alerted yesterday but he is currently on vacation. >> the president took aim at attorney general jeff sessions again today. now we know to expect the unexpected from mr. trump. is there any precedent for this that you can think of? >> there isn't. we have looked and as far as we can tell this is unprecedented that a president would take came at his attorney general so publicly in this way and under cut him. legal experts say it potentially under cuts the independence of the

has no intention of going anywhere. we understand that to be the case privately. however, he has acknowledged that the president pf's attacks have begun to get under his skin. president trump saying he feels disappointed and het down by the attorney general because he recused himself in the russia investigation. that move was praised by those who say he needed to do that because he served in the campaign and there couldn't be conflict of interest. this issue doesn't seem to be going away. president trump yesterday speaking from the rose garden was clear he said he wants to see the attorney general crack down on all the leaks that are coming out of the administration. it is possible if we see action there maybe he will turn down the heat a little bit on the attorney general. >> kristin welker, thanks so much. >> more reporting ahead on nbc nightly news with lester

we're kind of liking this low humidity. can we keep it going? something tells me no. >> no, no, no, no. it is going to feel a little bit humid tomorrow and friday. for the weekend the humidity levels do drop back down. sunday is going to be fabulous. take a look at the next few days. tomorrow heading to the pool or taking kids to the playground for the most part should be just fine especially if you do so before 2:00. as we get into late afternoon and evening hours we have hit and miss thunderstorms around the area. any storms that develop later could be strong to severe. friday definitely an indoor day especially for mid day and afternoon hours with heavy rain in the forecast. storms on friday could be on the severe side and then saturday not so much the fact that there are showers there in the forecast but it is going to be cool. highs only in the 70s. for tomorrow high temperature of 90. five degrees warmer than

low 70s. mid 80s by lunch time with mostly cloudy skies for mid day and afternoon hours. widely scattered thunderstorms around later in the day for your thursday. we move to friday. high temperatures around 86 with rain and thunderstorms at times. latest information coming in has the best chance for heavy rain during the afternoon and evening hours. i can't rule out showers for your morning hours. it's not a washout but friday will have rain at times and enough rain that we could see flooding concerns out there with one to two inches potentially. more showers on saturday means hold off on yard work until sunday. friday or saturday evening have a backup plan. outdoor exercise and getting car wash will be awesome on sunday with high temperatures on saturday only around 77. look at sunday. 84 for a high with plenty of sun in the
