into tomorrow, a coastal one, making its way u the coast. it's not that potent. by saturday morning it's bringing rain and snow to new york. then in new england and it's up and out. here is the one we're really worried about. we are looking right now at basically thi storm system comes in from california, brings heavy rain, possibly flooding and heavy mountain snows. by sunday it redevelops down around the gulf bringing snow from colorado through kansas, missouri, indiana, illinois, into the northeast. by sunday evening this system as it pushes in, depending on the track of this storm, it's going to cause some major problems. the at this right now, weekend impacts, we're looking at significant snow from the rockies across into the central plains. however, as we get into the trtheast, here is where gets on the tricky side. the american model brings the heavy snow from washington, d.c. down on into the appalachians. if it moves a little further south, the snow goes a little

further south. northeast new england not so much. the european model on the other hand brings in heavy snow from the appalachians of pennsylvania, new york, new england. we're talking four to nin inches of snow. and if this system moves further south, t heavy snow moves further south into the i-95 corridor. beyond all that, we also have to worr about heavy and significant flooding from the south from saturday to ssiday from mippi all the way into the southeast, anywhere om one to three to four inches of rain. rainful up to o to 1 poing 5 inches per hour. this is going to be a significant storm and a fast mover coast to coast. >> a lot of that map covered in weather. now to the political turmoie surroundingdent trump over his nuclear summit with kim jong-un, mhael cohen's testimony on capitol hill and an eye openingbo report his son-in-law, jared kushner.

counsel at the time wrote reports raising concern. the reportonadicts what mr. trump told the times in ijanua. on't think i have the authority to do. i wouldn't do it. i was never involved with security. >> reporter: late thursday the white house told nbc news, quote, we don't comment on security clearances. in january nbc news repted that white house security officials initially rejected kushner's application after a background check raised concerns about a potential for safeguarding his family's business, foreign contigts, fo travel and meetings he had during the campaign. kushner attended the infamous trump tower meeting with a russian lawyer who claimed t have political dirt on hillary clinton. congressman adam schiff who chairs the house intelligence committee said this in a tweet, it's called clearance by nepotism and a serious abuse that e angers oursecurity. >> a couple of things, pete. top of all, the fact that security officials apparently were concerned about extending

this security clearance to jar kushner. what's the impact of all of it? of course, the president does have the authority to grant that to.arance if he wants >> kushner will probably keep the clearance. the impact will be probably largely political. the house oversight committee, th same one that heard this week's public testimony from michael cohen, it's already degun an investi and will undoubtedly call witnesses. that might not lead very far because any of these potential witnesses worked in the white house and will probabllaim executive privilege. >> pete williams in washington, thank you. >> the president also is facing newfallout overhree days of potentially damming testimony on capitol hill from his former laer andixer michael cohen. nbc's white house correspond kristen welker has that part of the sry for us. >> now back at the white house, president trump is facing new criticism from abroad and at home as his political and legal problems mount. >> afteret rning home from washington overnight, president

trump again ting aim at his former mixer michael cohen in a new interview. >> he's convicted. he's a lawyer. he's defrauded at a high level. he had a lot of problems. >> reporter: and seizing on the fact that cohen said he had no direct evidence of collusion. >> he said no collusion. he lied about so many things and he cou have said -- he might as well lie about that one, too. he said no collusion. >> reporter: during three days of his testimony,ohen unleashed blistering attacks on his former boss. >> he is a racist. he is a con man, and he is a cheat. >> reporter: cohen isn't done talking. he's now scheduled to testify for yet another day behind closed doors. >> i'm committed to telling the truth and i will be back on march 6th f toinish up. there's more to discuss. >> reporter: republicans blasting cohen's credibility. >> i thi yesterday wasll about michael cohen sort ofre

laying thecate for the democrats and their crazy plans.men >> reporter: democrats making it clear the investigations won't stop with cohen. >> h lai out roadmap ofy criminality the president that needs to be followed. >> reporter: the house oversight committee will likelyalk with the trump organization cfo allen weselberg, a chief witness to the president's financial dealings. two republicansho sparred preetdly with cone en yesterday asking the justice department to investate him for perjury, calling liss testimony a spectacular and brazen attempt to willingly testify falsely and fictitiously to nerous attacks. cohen's attorney calling that claim a sad misuse of thein cr justice system. while some democrats are ngling talks of impeachment. >> if you're asking me today could the president be removed fromit office, i more likely today than tuesday, the answer s yes.

>> reporter: leade it's too soon. >> impeachment is a disive issue in our country. let's see what the fact is, what the law is and what the behavior is of the president. >> michaeles cohenfied over three days this week. some of that testimony opened new questions. i understand he'll be back on capitol hill next week. >> reporter: that's right, willie. here is the bottom line. it's becoming increasingly clear that top democrats are interested in talking to members of the president's inner circle in the wake of co-edge's testimony. he will be bac on the hill next week. one top democrat on h these intelligence committee say they expee corroborating documents. law officials are also eyeing allen weisselberg, in charge of handling finces for the trump family business, cohen named him as orchestrating the hush manny payments. signs are the democratic investigations could last well

to the spacestation, come back and splash down. they'll do a full an nat sis looking at all the data to see if they think it's ready for a manned mission. if it is, that manned test could come sometime over the summer. by the way, boeing is going through the exact same process. they could also lif off some time this summer with astronauts. if y want to watch it live, you can get up with us really rly, 2:45 a.m. east coast time -- i don't think there will be many of you watching with me. we'll be watching here. >> tomorw morning? is that a saturday morning you'reti sugg. >> tomorrow morning, streaming live. >> weekday you could have had us. i reporter: i thinks going to be a long 40 hours. >> it's cool. thank you. al is back wit the rest of the forecast. i must say a smart corduroyhi blazer t morning. >> it's corduroy weather right now. you don't get to wear this that

eset to released this weekend. michael jackson's estate has sued to stop it, his family claiming this is a one-sided attack. in a moment we'll talk to director dan reed. first natalie males with aew look at this much-talked-about film. >> -- in love with michael. he saide loved me. >> reporter: "leaving neveand" tells t story of two boys whose love for jackson brought them to his side, resulting in they say a pattern of sexual abuse. wade robson and james safechuck sa jackson rehearsed with them how to avoid being caught and t groomem for abuse. >> best thing about hawaii? beingithyou. >> reporter: safechuck's mother says the entire family fell under jackson's spell. >> he could be anywhere with anybody in the world and michael cknted to be with our family.

>> reporter: n's family say they never believed the accusations against their brother, en though his sleepovers with young boys might have looked suspicious to outsiders. >> i think -- he said, mom, i would never hurt a kid. he's telling the truth. michael is not lik that. >> reporter: for two decades robson and safechuck said the same rothing, bson testifying under oath at jackson's criminal trial that theinger never touched him inappropriately. jackson was found not guilty. in his early 30s, robson's story changed. >> never forgot one moment of what michael did to me but i wal psychologi and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse. >> reporter: robson and safechuck say becoming fathers prompted them to speak out. both made their allegatckns after jan's death, both sued jackson's estate and media companies. those suits were dismissed and

the suits against the medias companre being appealed. >> hello wade. today is your birthday. >> reporter: the ordeal they describe in looks to add a disturbing new chapter to a legacy alreadyed shroudn controversy. >> secrets will eat you up. s you feel alone. >> reporter: for "today," natalie bcmorales, news los angeles. >> we're joined by dan reed the producer and director ofng "leaeverland." good morning. >> good morning. >> a lot of people talking about this film before it even debuts on television. it's interesting it's having such an efenct. in some we've heard these stories for years about michael jackson. what was i about your telling that you think is so compelling? >> i think it's because we have direct testimony from the little boys, the young men now, whoal ac suffered the abuse. i think that's the first time it's happened. wade was briefly on the "today" show in 2013. apart from that, none of theme have c forward on television.

>> as you know, the jackson estate and family has been very critical, flielg a $100 million uit against o, saying it's shamelessly exploiting an innocent man no longer here to defend himself. ho do you respond? >> first of all, the film is nou michael jackson. it's about wade and james. secondly, jackson is dead, but we include the rebuttals he mad when he was alive. we've included that in the film and given him a significant presence and his lawyers. i think this,s far as jackson's right of reply goes, we have met that fully. >> when you first c these stories, here you have two young men who for a long time did deny that it happened. so how did you approach that as afilmmaker? did you come with skepticism?d ou come predisposed to believe their new story? y

how did deal with that fact? >> i've been making documentaries for 30 years, so i don't take everyone at face value. you have to remain skeptical while listening very carefully to what people had to sachlt once i interviewed wade and james which i did at length, i tried to find anything in the record in the investigations of 1993 androm 2003 to 2005, anything to contradict their story and i couldn't find anything. >> one of the other things is this is about criticism for james and wade. have either of them been paid to in the documentary? >> no. nterest cial enter whatsoever. >> others say they hope it helps th appeal where they sued the jackson t estate. >> about money, about jackson's estate's money. it's about protecting an asset that would be at risk if people believed tclaim. >> let's talk about the film and what's in it. what do they say about how this is possible?

where are the families? how does this happen? >> thes film about two families coming to terms with what they discovered two decades later about the truth of the boys' relationship with michael jackson. the mothers a key figures in my four-hour film, they describe how they saw jackson as a son. they felt great love for him,ed accen their home, cooked for him, cleaned his clothes. theys adopted him one of the family. it's chilling because jackson ingratiatedimself into these very ordinary families so he could sexually abuse theirch dren. >> we know how difficult it is for any victim of sexual abuse or alleged victim of sexual abuse to talk about it, share it with the world. what was the moment for james and wade where they said, yes, i've testified on behalf of miael jackson, defended him publicly, i can't live with this anymore? >> i think a big moment for wade, and wade kind of led the

y, was having his own son. so when his son came into the worl and he saw this child and o have azed what it is child in your care, and then he began to imagine michael doing the things to his little boy that he had done to him, to 7-year-old de and he became -- these images were revoltg anddisgusting. when he thought about his own experience with michael, he felt nothgment that's the j traic thing here. a deep attachment forms between the abuse and the victim and the sexual relationship even at such a young age becomes normaliz normal, becomes love. you think i'micspecial. them sees it as a good thing, doesn't see it as abuse. >> that brings me to a part of the film. people should warned it's incredibly graphic. there's no eupmisms used whatsoever. why did you think it was important to be so detaile about what exactly took place

behind closed doors. ichael many years jackson hid in plain sight. he portrayed himself as someone who never had aod child and therefore was living out his childhood in the public eye. he'd be seen everywhere holding nds with a littl boy. he said his interest in little boys was entirely incent. he admitted he slept, spent nights with them but nothing happened. so for many years the public bought into this and everyone bought into this. he was able to spend so muc time in the company of little children without people thinking there was anything strange about this. >> hide eitheram wade or told anybody in their lives, whether a parent, a friend, someone else about the abuse they say they suffered, or have they lived with this up until theyat down with you? >> wade lived with it up until he disclosed to his psychotherapist. that story is in tfilm. of course, he came out on the "today" show in may 2013. james had confided in his mother

in 2009, butoas terrified she might tell someone, he made her swear to keep that secret between the two of them. the secrets of the true nture of telationship with jackson was kept for nearly two decades. that's very typical of survivors of child sexual abuse. fascinating piece of work. airs sunday and monday on hbo. >> sunday and monday. >> thank you very much for being here. coming up, ouron crsation with youtube'so ce on the sweping changes the company is making to protect young hildren onmine. the health scare facing actor luke perry, everything we know as h recovers i the hospital. the well wishes are, of course, pouring in. ahead this morning, the jonasrothers are back. the new music they dropped overnight. the fashion desner who reportedly introduced prince harry and meghan markle and was at her baby shower a few weeks ago. now where will she be? in our studio.
