weekend could get tricky. let's get right to amelia draper. >> this system is really about location. here in the d.c. metro area, south and i.c.east, this is loo like rain, beginning as a wintery mix but quickly changing rain.o not necessarily the case north and west of washington, the national weather service has issued a winter storm warning for all the counties in pink. this begins tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. as e sunday at 6:00 a.m. this is maryland, virginia, back through the panhandle of west virginia. i'm most concerned for icing out there tomorrow throughout t y. we have a winter weather advisory for norther fauquier, loudon county and howard. this runs through midnight tomorrow. theiggest impa north and west. it's going to be a messy saturday looking mainly dry on sunday. i posted this map for travel out

there on saturday on my facebook and twitter pages and i'm going to have your fourone forecast coming up around 6:20. >> the wther forecast in a lot of different colors tonight. breaking news just in from the white house. president trump now promising a 3:00 p.m. announcement tomorrow about the government shutdown. j het tw>>eeting t moments ago we'll make a major announcement concerning the tmanitarian crisis on our southern border a shutdown in his words. that's tomorrow at 3:00 p.m., no other spefics from the white house. during the 2016 presidential campaign, donald trump repeatedly told voters he had no business deals with russia. now we know that wasn't true. >> his long-time lawyer michael cohen was working on a deal for ump tower in moscow. now cohen has told investigators the president directed him to lie to congress about that deal accordewg to a report. 's tat the>>e latest? >> reporter: if that's true, and

it's a big if, it would be a big deal. it would mean the president of the united states may be guilty of a crime, but again that's a big if. and the question tonight is this a he said/he said or is there actually some proof? it's the most direct allegation yet that president trump may have committed a crime. buzzfeed reports the president told his former attorney, michael cohen, to lie to congress about the timing of negotiations to build a trump tower in moscow. nbc has not confirmed that report. buzzfeed's source, two federal law enforcement officials ninvolved in investigation of the matter. >> if he told michael cohen to commit perjury, certain that's going to go into the whole discussion we have about whether or not he, the president, should continue to be in office. >> reporter: cohen is lng to reduce his jail time the president tweets. categorically false his attorney says. i'm not giving any credence

to michael cohen who's a convicted felony and admitted liar. >> reporter: but zzfeed reports special counsel robert mueller has proof. >> e-mails, text messages and collateral interviews of others. and then they presented it to michael cohen, they said, we know what you did, and michael cohen apparently said, yes, i lied at the direction of donald trump. buzz feed claims ivanka and donald trump jr. got information on the deals. cohen is set to testify before the house oversight committee on februa 7th. keep in mind cohen is still working with the russia team with robert mueller's tatm on investigation. so it's not clear when he comes here to testify whether or not he'll be allowed to talk about any of this. >> not man answers but the thestions are getting more interesting, aren'?

a big winter storm system will impact the area tomorrow into very a early sunday then arctic air moves in sunday night into monday. this is mondat morning 9:00 a.m. the feels like temperature out there, 3 below zero in washington. 11 below zero in frederick. and 6elow in leesburg. i'm going to have more, though, on whatou can expect throughout the day tomorrow when rain moves in, are you dealing with a wintery mix and ice? i'll break it down zone by zone

at 6:25. we'll be watchinglosely for the latest. if it's friday, it's time to take a deeper lookehind the week's biggest political headlines and there have been a lot of them. >> what a week it's been. a lot has happened sce last friday. late last friday night, the "new york times" reported the fbi h opened up an inquiry into whether donald trump was w secretking on behalf of russia. >> sunday "the washington post" reported donald trump was going to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of histi convers with vladimir putin. and then the "new york times" reported tharesident trump has talked more than once about pulling the president out of nato. overnight a buzzfeed story alleges president trump directed his long-time toey, michael cohen to lie to congress about the moscow trump tower project and that special counsel robert

mueller may have evidence to back that up. chuck todd, rig off the bat we want to stipulate nbc news has not confirmed buzzfeed's reporting on the cohen story. if it's true it takes us to new territory. >> reporter: it is. and i want toxpin why so many news organizations while we're not ab to confirm it, leap.sn't a huge when michael cohen officially pled guilty to lying to congress, in that court filing, michael cohen said it circulated the testimony around the white house. that was a vague one line thing. now what buzz feed is alleging is it was the president that essentially said do what you cannot to tell them about the trump tower probect. ously the whole if true. here's whatdo it's . you saw the democratic reaction

today. ever sin they tookver the house. the assumption on impeachment was when the mueller report is done. what this news has done iste crea sense of urgency among a larger group of democrats, whw think may not have time for mueller to be done. because the allegation is a lie to congress. >> big deal. >> this was an article impeachment filed against nixon, this was an article of impeachment filed against bill n n. this is a bipartisan norm, at least in my lifetime. >> the story is also addlg spec resonance to an exchange we saw this week with senator amy glober shaw. we saw it played a number of times, attorney general nomee lliam barr and amy glober shaw in his hearing. >> the president persuing a person to commit perjury would best ction, is that right? >> that -- yes. well, any person who persuades

another. >> you said a presidentr a person convincing a person to change testiny would be obstruction, is that right? >> yes. >> that could be more on the nose a it'sost as if she knew the cohen story was coming out. >> she putut a statement a few minutes ago saying she did not know in advance about it. but go back, don't forget what was in the mueller filing already. this is not like out of nowhere. mueller had indicated there were folks at the white hou i who kn advance that michael cohen was going to mislead congress. the question is, did those folks know it was a lie or were they lied to by the president. one of thengther t i think, you know, is criticism about rudy giuliani, and the differens he's moved the goal post or changed the story. you can only be as accurate -- when you're a defense attorney you can only be as accurate aboutlihings as yourt allows you to be. we don't know what he's withheld

from his own wyers. >> interesting, though, that law enforcement is leaking this to buzzfeed. do you think that might be because of the barr testimony about whether or not to release the report? >> that's an interestingtheory. and this is what, frankly, has -- i will say it a thousand times. i don't know if mueller has ever been a source for a story. i can promise you mueller has never been a source for us.s muelleeam is not -- trust me, in the reporting world we're looking foreopleo help us with stories. they're not leakers. it's prett airtight over there. so that is what sort of has -- we're all trying to figure this out. it's been 24 hours. look, buzzfeed, t y have been on this thread more than any other news organization. >> yes, they have. >> i think it is very possible on the wrong focus part when it comes to russia. the assumption has been it's some sort of complain collusion when really the central issues the president trying to hide his

business ties to russia. maybe he didn't think he was compromised, phaps heust thought he wanted to make money because he assumed he was going t' lose. >> talk about the shutdown before we -- >> yeah. >> -- wrap up here. it feels like federal workers are caught in the cross fire on this high-stakes game of chicken that the president and nancy pelosi seem to be playing. the senate majority leader staying pretty much silent and now we get this tweet about this announcementmi . what are we to make of all this? >> we'll see. maybe the political pain ee threshold has reached. i said one of the things that had me concerned that this was ing to be even longer is both nancy pelosi and donald trump take a lot of arrows. pretty thick ave political skins. so it doesn't -- they have a high threshold forolitical pain. perhaps that's what we're seeing here. look, the president has always been the oned that co -- he could open the government or --

this is his shutdown. he orchestrated this. so it is on him and m hch mcconnel all but basically said it is on you. we'll see. mae we have hit that moment. i do think that patience is going to run o on all sides in the middle of next week. >> we're at day 28 -- >> we're not there, but i think the electoral patience even wiph leaderf mitch mcconnell. so my sense is this thing is going to - c i't imagine us getting to the state of the union date, n saying that's going to happen. i can't imagineth getting t 29th without the government open. but the political incentives are not necessarily for pushing them compromise. >> what do you have coming up this weekend? >> it's pretty interesting show. mark warner, obviously not just virgin senator b the coleader of the senate ntelligence investigation on russia. liz cheney, who's in the house

republican leadership. daughter of the former vice president.d amy kloberchar. >> it'sng g to be packed this weekend. >> we don't know what theay presidentay tomorrow. >> chuck todd, thank you. of "meet the press" this sunday morning 10:30 here on nbc 4. meanwhile, hundreds morera fedel workers attended job fairs today looking for their next paycheck. >> your stress level right now? >> i'd say on a sca of to 10, it's a 15. >> four weeks in, who can blame her? still to come at 6:00 why some furloughed workers are readyve to lheir old jobs behind. and coming up this ekend, not just cold, but rain and snow and ice and a freezing
