Thank you an amtrak train traveling from new york to florida slammed into a parked Freight Train in South Carolina killing two amtrak employees. Over 100 others were taken to the hospital. Authorities say the miamibound train appeared to be on the wrong track when it collided with a Freight Train. It also caused 5,000 gallons of fuel to spill. This is the second deadly amtrak crash in less than a week and the third since a crash in Washington State last december. Nbcs Jennifer Johnson gives us more details. Reporter a horrific scene near cayce, South Carolina. The mangled wreckage of amtrak train 91 and a csx Freight Train. The trains collided just after 2 30 a. M. When most passengers were asleep, killing engineer Michael Kempf and the conductor. Threw us across the room like you would not believe. Reporter sources tell nbc news that just before the crash all csx signals were off line. Csx gave verbal approval for the amtrak to proceed down a set of tracks, but the track switch was in the wrong position, sending the amtrak directly into the parked Freight Train. Key to this investigation is learning why that switch was lined that way. The expectation, of course, is that the amtrak would be cleared and would be operating straight down like this. Reporter most of the 139 passengers traveling from new york to florida were taken to hospitals. Most with nonthreatening injuries. We should have had a lot more casualties, but we didnt. Reporter emergency workers say removing so many injured was a monumental task. We were able to get all 116 patients to the local hospital in a very timely manner. Reporter this is the second amtrak crash in less than a week. On wednesday a train carrying dozens of republican members of Congress Heading to a retreat in West Virginia hit a truck, killing the trucks passenger. Jennifer johnson, nbc news, washington. To washington now where gop intel chairman nunes memo over on the russia Investigation Continues to make waves. Former cia director john brennan is accusing nunes of overstepping his own position. And abusing his own pour. It really underscores how party san mr. Nunes has been. He has abused the office of the chairmanship. I dont say that lightly. Over the past year he has demonstrated hes engaged in these tactics purely to defend and try to make brought up any legitimate issue . He put out publicly one side in a cherrypicked memo. Brennans tough words as republicans cheer on the memos release arguing the proves the special counsels investigation into Russian Election meddling cannot be trusted. There is a little sweet revenge in it for me and probably the family in the sense that if they wouldnt have done this, this stuff would be going on. This would be going on at the highest levels of government. They would be continuing to do it to my father, trying to undermine his actions. Imagine how it effective he can be given the year hes had without this cloud over his head. I want them to come to a conclusion already. Youve been looking for two years, come up with nothing, other than their own nefarious actions and their own collusions. The president echoed those comments tweeting this memo totally vindicates trump in probe but the russian witch hunt goes on and on. No collusion and no obstruction. Still those republicans who say otherwise. Here was congressman trey gowdy who had a hand in writing that gop memo. I actually dont think it has any impact on the russia probe for this reason. The memo has no impact on the russia probe . Not to me it doesnt. I was pretty integrally involved in the drafting of it. This comes as democrats Push Congress and the president to accept their own competing memo, demanding it be released to the public as they accuse republicans of waging an Opposition Campaign against a russia investigation and the fbi. And were learning new details regarding carter pain. Republicans allege the fbi ob stained a fisa warrant to track mr. Page using the uncorroborated and controversial steele dossier, however now were learning through the wall street journal that carter page was on the radar of u. S. Counterintelligence since at least 2013. And now theres this, Time Magazine reports it has obtained a letter from august of 2013 in which page apparently touted being an informal adviser to the kremlin. Times says page writes, over the past half year ive had the privilege to serve as an informal adviser to the staff of the kremlin in preparation for their presidency at the g20 summit next month where Energy Issues will be a Prominent Point on the agenda. Carter page is not charged with any crime and denies any wrongdoing. For all the noise the memo has created devin nunes says there is more to come. This completes just the fisa abuse portion of our investigation. We are in the middle of what i call phase two of our investigation, which involves other departments, specifically the state department and some of the involvement that they had in this. Also out of washington today, incoming Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell will be sworn in taking the reigns from janet yellen who departs her position. Yellen is revealing how she really feels about her single term at the helm of the fed. It has common for people to be reappointed by president s of the opposite party. I made clear i would be willing to serve another term, and so, yes, i do feel a sense of disappointment. Now to the tsa, found a record 3,957 guns in carryon bags at airport checkpoints last year.
