>> woodruff: how much urgency is there around this question, karine?i think there should be a lot more urgency than we're currently thinking. i think at this point it's up to the f.b.i. to step in and let us know what is really happening? i think one of the issues we're seeing here is donald trump is not being presidential. he tweets without understanding the consequences of his tweet. there's no measurement of what he's saying. and it's incredibly dangerous to accuse yurm predecessor of potentially break the law. and i think at the end of the day, we have to-- we have to really look and ask the question, "what happens if there is a true, actual national security crisis? are we going to believe donald trump?" >> woodruff: how much does it matter, matt, that we get to the bottom of this? >> it matters to me a lot because i actually think that if the obama administration was investigating the trump campaign, that is something we have not seen before. that is historic. and i want ton why. if that did happen, i want to know why it happened. and i think the

what say you, meteorologist bill karins?> it's snowing already in areas of connecticut and also in pennsylvania. that's where it is cold enough where it may stick on the roads. in other areas from new york city southwards to philadelphia, not so bad. we had a lot of thunderstorms rolling through little rock and we still had thunderstorms down in the south. this was a storm chaser that got caught in the wrong spot when baseball-sized hail started coming down. that's just windshield shattering-type hail there. a little insurance claim. i wonder how you explain that one? let's get into the snow forecast, pittsburgh and state college, you're watching the snow come down. pennsylvania turnpike, 78, those are most had douse early. 287 north of new york city is also starting to get snow covered throughout the morning . winter storm warnings for long island and southern portions of rhode island and cape cod. here's the snow map. this is about a three to four-hour period of moderate to heavy wet snow. roads will get a lot less because

let's start with meteorologist bill karins. the blizzard warning has been cancelled for new york city. tell me what that means for people's lives in danger. >> you need three straight hours of 35 miles an hour of wind. the issue with new york city it turned to sleet and they're not expecting a lot more in the way of snow. so you're not going to get the three hours with the low visibility. we were thinking more snow in new york, it turned to sleet. so we sti have the 68 million pele at risk here but the blizzard warning are more for where it's sold colder, central portions of massachusetts and northern new england. this is a potential power outage map. we don't have any with a widespread area. we could see scattered on eastern long island and all areas from boston down to the cape, all the way from portsmouth up to kennebunkport, maine. the storm is about to head over the top of long island. we have snow that's heavy, northern new jersey, but we are watching sleet still in new york city. there as a little bit on the back side of

let's bring in bill karins. we've had two days of severe weather. what can we expect?quieter weather but it's been a rough start to our severe weather season and it's been so warm through february. a couple outbreaks in february and a couple in january too. three more fatalities from this two-day outbreak and the storm system is now gone so the threat is over with, but in the wake of this storm some strong winds are still out there. the blue is the advisories, all the state of massachusetts and the hudson valley there of new york. of course we will have clear skies. there's not going to be any rain or snow with this but we will have airport delays that are significant with these cross winds like this. 35 in philadelphia right now. wind gusts not bad in d.c. hartford just had a gust up to 35. so the winds will be in that general 20, 30, occasionally gusting to 40 to 50 and as we go throughout the afternoon, still in the 30 to 40-mile-per-hour range and we don't have leaves on the trees so we won't see a lot of trees coming down but because the soil is pretty muddy right

it is bill karins. bill karins is inside with the forecast. people are ready for spring break and summer dressing. i have ski goggles on, sitting in a bed of snow. >> ridgewood, 20 miles away from where you are. there have been changes with the forecast. the storm is closer to the ast. we didn't get as much snow as expected in philadelphia or washington, d.c. and in new york city the snowfall is reduced. heavier snow is expected away from the coast. 68 million people will be impacted during the day today and tonight. we dropped the blizzard warning by half. new york city was dropped from the blizzard warning because of the sleet mixing in. to get a blizzard, you need three hours in a row of less than a quarter mile visibility. you don't get that with the sleet. the blizzard warning goes from burlington to allentown and interior sections of new york and new england. here is the radar. the battleground is the pink. that's where the sleep is mixing in. it's been a sleet storm in brooklyn and long island. those areas have underachieved. we have se

bill karins is here, all the snow totals are coming in. what can we expect? >>> 12 to 18 inches, it doesn't make a difference, you're stuck in your house and there's no school. a lot of things come along with a huge snowstorm. let's get into it. it's snowing pretty good in iowa and illinois. chicago is getting now. this is one piece of the upcoming nor'easter blizzard. the other piece is here on the south coast. these two combine and become a big monster storm tonight. so we have winter storm warnings from maine all the way down to roanoke, even areas around cleveland. 121 million people affected by this winter storm. that's like half the population of the country. and there are now blizzards warnings for areas of new york city, long island, all of southern connecticut. so here's the snowfall map, this is the snow we're dealing with this morning, the one to three inches from chicago to detroit to columbus to indianapolis. and then we get into the bigger stuff as we go throughout the evening. the areas of pink, that's a foot of snow. that covers almost just no

. >> i'm joined by karine jean pierre. it seems like a few people have condemned it. what do you think should happen here? >> well, if the republicans were really serious about condemning his remarks, steve king's remarks, they would have taken action by now. done what nancy pelosi's urging paul ryan to do which is to take away steve king's chairmanship from the subcommittee that he currently chaired and so they're not serious about this. but here's the thing, steve king is not someone who's out of the mainstream of the republican party, he is the mainstream of the republican party. you have a white supremacist that's 20 feet away from the oval office. you have an attorney general that has made racist comments. you have the president himself who has made racist comments, off republican party who's urging black people from the voting roles so this not surprising, this is the republican party we are seeing of today. >> i want to play devil's advocate against that because i think there are some republicans who say, look, i do not -- i mean what steve king very explicitly

karine jean-pierre from moveon.org and ee is with us this afternoon as well. nice to see you ladies. i'm going to start with chris at the white house since we just had the press briefing last hour. really the big headline out of that -- well, there were several but one was this wiretapping accusation and what sean spicer said to try to explain what the president truly meant bishgs quote/unquote, wiretapping in his original tweet. >> reporter: and whether he's had a conversation about that. he said, look at what the president's tweet said, wiretapping. then there was all this confusion because kellyanne conway raised other ways, technical ways, in which surveillance could occur. listen to this exchange during the press briefing and you can draw your own conclusion. >> so that we can be crystal clear, what surveillance types was he referring to then. what would you consider part of that range? >> i think there's a whole host of tactics that can be used to monitor somebody either through wiretap or other ways in which you can surveil somebody. >> we took that to

bill karins is back >> he's the important map. this is the area at risk for severe storms as we go throughout the afternoon and evening. 12 million people are at risk. concern is large hail like yesterday and also wind damage. that's tornadoes today but that could change as we go into tuesday and wednesday. here's a closer look at your day ahead. so thunderstorms will be rolling through the tennessee valley and a view along the gulf coast. dallas, fort worth should be okay. northern new england dealing with a wintry mess with a little bit of freezing rain and sleet and snow. still feels like winter in a few spots. northern new england can't catch a break. >> a lot of people are headed to south florida unless this fearless diver who made an unlikely under water friends. the shock nudges the swimmer signalling for help. the shark sticking out of its belly. the diver was able to remove the hook. >> thankfully that was a thank you. just ahead the most exciting ten seconds of the ncaa tournament plus new details in the search for the k
