drama with president trump's twitter account. and the new twist in the fight over legislation and the tax cut legislation. we're starting with all of this, starting with hallie jackson on capitol hill this morning. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hi, matt. good morning to you. let's start something that affects every person thwatching this show. the tax plan. that's what you see the gop talking about today, even when everybody is talking about the twitt eter takedown, including president trump himself. he tweeted about it. my twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. i guess the world must finally be getting out and having an impact. it comes after everybody saw, for a very brief time what the world would look like without a donald trump twitter account. for 11 minutes, the sound of social media silence, after the president'swi

deactivated briefly. his verified @real donald trump account. was gone. instead of tweets, this message. sorry, that page doesn't exist. at 8:05 p.m., twitter posted a statement, saying the president's account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a twitter employee. it wasn't just a glitch. several hours later, the company posted again. we have learned this was done by a twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee's last day. we are conducting a full personal review. the twitter takedown, coming out hours after a policy push by the president. and promising history in the making. >> biggest tax cuts in the history of our country. we have reform. we have simplification. >> reporter: his time light tight. just 20 working days away.

people a giant tax cut for christmas. >> reporter: but this plan is far from wrapped up, as we learn more about what it means for your taxes. on the plus side for some americans, the number of tax brackets would shrink, from seven to four. the deduction would double. and the child tax care credit goes up. businesses would get a break, too, with the top corporate rate slashed, from 35% to 20%. >> the typical family of four will save $1,182 a year on their taxes. >> reporter: on the flipside, the gop plan would cut or get rid of some of the deductions people like the most, including medical expenses and student loans. you can only write off mortgage interest for the first $500,000 of that loan, instead of $1 million. and the plan would eliminate deductions for state and local income

rates, like california, connecticut and new york. some of the blue state republicans now not thrilled. congressman lee zeldan with kasie hunt. democrats blasting the plan as a jackpot for the rich. >> you're a big corporation, you're a wealthy individual, you do great. you're a middle class person, you suffer. >> reporter: here's the bottom line politically. there's a lot of incentive for republicans to get this tax cut plan over the finish line. but they don't agree on how that should happen. as always on capitol hill, the devil is in the details. >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. let's zero in on how everyone will be impacted on this. and stephanie ruhle is here. steph, you looked a thoug ed ed closely. who wins and loses? >> if you go with the biggest changes, it is simpler. you know if you only

decemb deductions, you're going to get a bigger deduction. in terms of winners and loses, that expanded child tax credit. that's an extra 600 bucks in your pocket. that's a positive. if you think about your 401(k), the fact that's not getting touched is a huge positive. people aren't getting paid more money and we're living longer lives. those 401(k)s are what we retire on. there's a lot of talk about it being limited how much money you can put in. that would have been a huge negative for all of us. >> that sounded like a trial balloon. as soon as that got out and the reaction was negative, the president said we're not doing that. let's get over to corporate taxes. the rate was 35% going down to 20%. the question is, will they take the savings in tax and pass it along to workers in the form of higher wages? >> that's the

dollar question. corporations are flush with cash. look at the stock market. you don't see it impacting wages and that's what we need. in this global economy, jobs are overseas. manufacturing is overseas. companies have optimized. they don't need as many workers and they're not paying more. we hope this plan, we hope the trickle-down economics works, but it's not proven. >> when people are flush with cash, corporations, businesses, the wealthy, are they willing to spend it? >> yes and no. when wealthy people have more money in their paockets, they could spend more but they don't need to. when people who live closer to the bone have more money, they might buy a washing machine or a house. this might help most of america. but it's optimistic and hopeful. it is not a guarantee. >> steph, thank you very much. another major story involving

new fallout from the russia probe, putting attorney general jeff sessions back in the spotlight and lawmakers demanding some answers. kristen welker has more on that story. good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. that comes. in just hours, president trump will take off for a five-nation, 12-day trip trohroughout asia. his central message will be north korea's nuclear problem is the international community's responsibility. he is looking to leave all of the political trials behind that are looming here at home. >> thank you, everybody. thank you very much. >> reporter: with the president poised to leave the country this morning, new russia revelations, stemming from george papadopoulos, the former volunteer campaign aide, who pled guilty to lying to the fbi about his contacts with russian officials, promising dirt on hillary clinton. during a march meeting, papadopoulos told president trump he had connections that

j.d. gordon, at the time, trump listened with interest. gordon says the item was shut down by chef sessions. ty cobbs says no one in the campaign ever paid series attention to the 29-year-old unpaid volunteer. in february, mr. trump dismissed the idea of any conversations about russia. >> can you say whether you are aware that anyone who advised your campaign had contacts with russia during the course of the election? >> i told you. general flynn was obviously dealing. that's one person. he was dealing -- >> during the election? >> nobody that i know of. >> reporter: what took place at this meeting is also raising questions, for the now-attorney general jeff sessions, who testified before congress, that he had never had any conversations with russians or foreign officials about interference in the election. and -- >> i have no knowledge of any such conversations by anyone connected to the tru

former trump campaign adviser, carter page, testified on capitol hill thursday, he told sessions about a trip he took to moscow in the summer of 2016. page saying the trip was unrelated to the campaign. >> i'm working to help and provide everything that i possibly can. >> reporter: now, as the russia investigation looms large, the president is looking to reset, before leaving on a 12-day trip to asia, opening up overnight during interviews with multiple outlets. expressing irritation with the justice department, saying the focus should be on leaks and investigating hillary clinton. >> i am not supposed to be involved with the justice department. i'm not supposed to be involved with the fbi. i'm not supposed to be doing the kind of things i would love to be doing. and i'm very frustrated by it. >> reporter: this morning, the president is accusing the democrats of what he calls collusion and dishonesty, after donna brazile, the former national committee chairwoman, reveals tt

dnc was rigged in hillary clinton's favor during the 2016 primary race because her campaign was largely financing the party. a spokesperson for clinton declined to comment. matt and savannah? >> kristen, thank you very much. let's bring in chuck todd. >> good morning, matt. >> going to bring in the donna brazile story. is jeff sessions in trouble? >> in an extraordinary example, he is in trouble. he doesn't have confidence as far as the president's concerned. but the president's lack of confidence has nothing to do with capitol hill's issue with him. it's the third that jeff sessions had to correct the record of a meeting with russian officials or something involving russia. and in the last one, senators don't take kindly to be misled under oath, especially from the chief law enforcement officer. the

him, create this vice grip for jeff sessions. he says, do something to distract from russia. investigate hillary clinton. >> if you're in a meeting on march 31st, 2016, and you hear this talk from george papadopoulos, who says i have somebody in the u.k. that can connect us to putin in russia. you shut it down if you're jeff sessions and i don't want to talk about it because it might leak, would you remember that conversation late center. >> it's hard to fathom. you know when controversial things get offered up and you are the person who says, that's a bad idea, according to reports jeff sessions say that. it's hard to come around to the idea that you might have just, oh. i have so many things going on, i forgot about that one. >> can we talk about donna brazile. i don't want to make it inside baseball. but donna brazile is a long-time democratic party

in 2016. she wrote an extraordinary piece where she basically says that hillary clinton, her campaign, exercised undue and inappropriate influence over the democratic party in the primary, such that they were pro-hillary when they should have been a more even playing field. do i have that right? and if so, what's the significance? >> on one hand, it was captain obvious. she was an insider. he wasn't a member of the party. the dnc had a finger on the scale. and bernie ande ersanders knew d a finger on the scale for hillary clinton. you have to look at the debate schedule. what donna brazile said, to say that it was essentially rigged in her favor, that can't be unrung. the clinton campaign is saying, he could have exerted similar innc

raisers to do that. that sounds well and good. but this is a large problem, savannah. this is a party barely able to keep itself together. the sanders wing and the clinton/obama wing. this is a grenade. and the current dnc charge. he is in trouble here. he has to figure out how to put this together. he had support of obama and clinton. i have a feeling that's how this will play out. >> got to leave it there. the allegation that the clinton campaign was bankrolling the democratic party. chuck, thank you. >> they were. the dnc was bankrupt because of barack obama. >> chuck todd, thank you very much. we're going to see you sunday for a special edition of "meet the press," celebrating the 70th anniversary of the longest running show on television. >> they have a lot to talk about. here in new york, mourners paid tribute to the victims of this week's terror attacks in lower manhattan. they lit kand a

former workers on "house of cards," tells cnn, the atmosphere on set was toxic for young men who had to work or interact with kevin spacey. >> meet your new daddy. >> reporter: but mrc, the protection company behind "house of cards," acknowledged a complaint was made about a comment and gesture from spacey during the first year of production. it was resolved promptly, with spacey in a training process. netflix was just made aware of the complaint. we are deeply troubled to learn about the new allegations that are being hemade to the press about spacey's interaction on "house of cards." creating and maintaining a safe working environment for our cast and crew is our top priority. mrc created an anonymous complaint hot line, brought in counselors and legal

netflix said it is not aware of other incidents involving kevin spacey on-set. spacey himself has not been seen in public since last week. overnight, his agent and public relations firm confirmed to nbc news, they no longer represent spacey. on wednesday, his representatives said that spacey was taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment. >> to me, that's a hopeful sign. if somebody has a disorder that's diagnosisible and they're willing to get treatment and do what a team tells them to do, is positive. >> i'm not doing okay. i got to get help. >> reporter: former movie producer, harvey weinstein, suggested he was seeking help. on thursday, another actress confirmed her accusation that harvey weinstein raped her in 2010. a new york police department detective has interviewed his client and he's provided material to the manhattan di

in response to that story, a spokesperson for harvey weinstein says, any allegations of nonconsensual sex are denied by mr. weinstein. late thursday, the new york city police department confirmed to nbc news, we are aware of the sexual assault complaints. we're actively investigating them. the nypd continues to work with the manhattan district attorney's office on the case. the investigation is ongoing. the lawyer for this weinstein accuser tells me that the manhattan district attorney's office is reaching out to potential witnesses. we have reached out to the manhattan d.a.'s office and last night but did not hear back. nbc news has confirmed there's four sexual misconduct or sexual assault investigations related to harvey weinstein under way in los angeles. and london police are also investigating cases involving weinstein. >> a lot of different locations. kate, thank you very much. let's turn and get a first check o
