[ sighs ] -"box, have a great summer. danielle." ooh. danielle, control yoself.

i'd like to slow it down here with a special discount for a special girl. danielle, this one's for you.

the winds have changed, blowing in across our area. in this case the wd is bringing in colder air. it's amazing the difference here. pittsburghmond, 9 in temperatures tonight continue to drop, a cold weekend in store and coming up inpl a c minutes i'll tell you the latest on mday and tuesday, both could have delays or closures for schools.

e you back here in about 5 minutes. to a deeper look at the week in politics. > we start where we left this time lastweek. a story so big it is still dominating the headlines. the crisis in the comm wealth, public faith in top political leaders shaken. >> on capitol hill the acting attorney general came before congress in a hearing that was confroational, combative and ridiculous at times. >> a local tech titan is takin on the tabloids tonight, jeff bezos says he turned the tables on the "national enquirer." >> chuck todd is nbc news political dirtor and -- political director and moderator of "meet the press." my hea is spinning. it's whiplash. >> our local newspaper owner, leadership.irginia >> in the few minutes it took you to walk down the hall fro

your msnbc studio to our studio there's more breaking news about lieutenant gernor fairfax, our delegation calling for him to resign. >> last week y't c imagine how ralph northam survives the weekend. now you're wondering, he'still here, now it's can justin fairfax survive the weekend. look, he's -- at thisoint he's a zombie lieutenant governor. politically he is done. it is over f him. he is going to le all sorts of benefit of thet doubt tha people were holding out on for. if you notice the calls for the resignation of fairfaxad been muted, waiting to see -- >> more information. >> it was a he said/she said first. now this is a second allegation and it seems as if it is -- it certainly comes across as very credible. and now any benefit of the doubt is gone. so the question is, how do you get these folks out? they all seem to look around and

think,fa i think justin fa believes that this is all happening due to timing of the situation, so't he doe -- i don't think he feels as if he has to go. and thenow northam feels more secure than ever. mark herring is still left open. believe it or not, of the th oe, thy one leaving open the option of resigning is the attorney general. he has said he's considering it. 's the only one that admitted to considering doing this. so it is a mess.hi at point i imagine if fairfax, you would assume thes democrre hoping he resigns first and they find somebody essentially to prepare to replace northam. but northam today -- or sources close to him, saying he'seen reading books and cover stories, and henvisions thisdea he can stay as governor and become a social justice warrior on behalf of african-americans.

>> let's move to the heat on the hill. for six hours acting a morney generathew whitaker testifying for about that long. what are your take aways? hostily on both sides. a hostile witness. >> this is congressional demohratsing a hard high one at the president to borrow a baseball term here. they believe the president may have illegally appointed whitaker or unethically appointed him. so i think this was a venting session and a warning session. nothing was accomplished. we didn't learn anything. he treated it very unseriously too which contributed to the hostile nature o it all. remember when house republicans had peter strzok, the fbi last year, it was a vting session about how republicans felt about the mueller probe. th's what this felt like. >> pay back perhaps. >> yes.

democrats want to be careful, 'tthey d want to have too much hearings like this, that are show hearings. this is a show hearing. >> because whitaker will be out. >> yes. every public hearing going forward, they better hope it's surfacing information hearings. they don't want more that are like this, >> jeff bezos, he says that the "natiol enquirer's" parent company tried to blackmail him. on the surface of the story, salacious details. below all kinds of significant implications possible. >> it's one of those,leou pull this it leads you to saudi aa ya, this one leads you to michael cohen, and suddenly there's a roger stone connection. so the point is, there's something fishy here, itoesn't make sense that "national enquirer" would care about jeff

bezos. hen' w a well known individual, who would have the motive to do this -- >> where did they get their hands on his personal stuff? >> i'll tell you, though, it is a tricky area, speaking as a journalist here, which is whatever you tnk of the "national enquirer," they are protected by some first amendment. i get a little nervous when the federal govksnment tbout investigating any journalistic enterprise. we know the "national enquirer" is barely journalistic enterprise. but they're a journalistic enterprise. but right now jeff bezos is not alleging a crime per se, and the only thing i will say on that could turn it into a federal investigation is david pecker was aeady sort of cooperating in the michael cohen probe witthe stormy daniels business. and they're in this agreement wi the federal government is this a violation of it, if you're committing a potential crime while under a cooperation

agreement with theal government, that is thumbing your nose at the federal government. >> we'lle talking about all these big stories again -- >> we've never had, jeff bezos standing up to this. there are a lot of celebrities and billionaires aroun the world rooting for jeff bezos. >> and he has the money to take this as far he wants. >> i was going to say, this is what happens when billionaires go after each other, billionaire trump,li baire bezos. >> thank you, chuck. he'll be back on sday morning with the political news, who knows what will happen before 10:30 sunday morning you can 4. h it on nbc speaking of jeff bezos, is amazon considering bowingut of new york? e push back leading to new questions about t he
