Two separate blasts rattling nerves at this hour. And a driver entering an american base, reportedly briefing the main gate, then crashing. Reports of possible propane tanks inside and an explosion. Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a thursday night. And we begin with major turbulence on wall street and inside the white house. The president s lead personal attorney general on the russia investigation suddenly resigning, and tonight, word of a new National Security adviser. Also tonight, the president taking dramatic action on china, right there, signing his order for tar riches on imports from china. Well, then, the dow plummeted, down 724 points, fears of retaliation now from china. A possible trade war. We have it all covered, beginning with that search for a new lawyer, and a new National Security adviser. The tweet from the president just moments ago. Heres abcs chief White House Correspondent jonathan karl. Reporter with his legal team in turmoil, the president today said he actually wants to answer questions from special counsel robert mueller. Mr. President , would you still like to testify to special counsel robert mueller, sir . Sure. I would like to. I would like to. Reporter just this just after the president lost his lead attorney on the russia investigation, john dowd, the man negotiating the terms of an interview. In fact, dowd met with mueller just last week. But today, he quit. Sources familiar with their relationship tell abc news dowd felt the president wasnt taking his advice. They had been at odds for a while, first over the mueller interview itself. Trump told us back in january he was eager to do it. Are you going to talk to mueller . Im looking forward to it, actually. But i would love to do that, and id like to do it as soon as possible. Reporter but that night, dowd told abc news that he, not the president , would decide if mueller got the interview. At the same time, dowd counseled the president not to criticize mueller. Not to even tweet the special counsels name. Advice the president ignored, tweeting this weekend, why does the mueller team have 13 hardened democrats, some big crooked hillary supporters, and zero republicans . While mueller has hired several democratic lawyers, he himself is a republican. Perhaps in a bid to encourage the president to leave the attacks to his lawyers, dowd put out his own statement over the weekend, calling on the Deputy Attorney general to end the russia investigatiinvestigation quote, follow the brilliant and courageous example of attorney general jeff sessions, who had just fired deputy fbi director andrew mccabe. Dowd added the investigation was, quote, manufactured by mccabes boss, james comey. Today, a very different sort of statement from dowd. I love the president and wish him well. As for the president , if any of this was troubling him, he wasnt showing it. Rattling the financial markets, he announced his intention to impose punitive tariffs on china to fight back against chinas unfair trade practices. If they charge us, we charge them the same thing. Thats the way its got to be. Reporter shortly after that, he shared this light moment with a group of young conservatives. What advice do you give to the 25yearold donald trump knowing what you know today . Dont run for president. Reporter the president went on to say he got great Media Coverage before his campaign. Now, he says, thats all changed. So, lets get to jon karl, live at the white house tonight. And jon, the lead personal attorney general resigning. This leaves a big vacancy. The other headline breaking at this hour, general h. R. Mcmaster now out, a new National Security adviser coming, jon . Reporter that is exactly the case here, david. H. R. Mcmaster, there have been reports about him getting fired for months. Now, he is out. The white house said it was a mutual decision. The new National Security adviser will be conservative john bolton. He served in the bush administration, both at the state department and as the u. S. Ambassador to the united nations. All right, jon karl with the breaking news, just as we come on tonight, thank you. And as i mentioned, the president s other muse today on china led to major jitters on wall street. The dow plummeting today, closing down 724 points. So, lets get right to Rebecca Jarvis tonight. What happened . Reporter thats right, david. The reaction was immediate today, as the president announced those new tariffs against china. The very industries meant to benefit here in the u. S. Aerospace, machinery, i. T. , had some of the biggest losses. With fears of wall street of retaliation. What if china strikes back . And one more driving force today. The controversy swirling involving facebook. Up to 50 million accounts allegedly exploited during the campaign. Ceo Mark Zuckerberg saying im sorry, what happened with Cambridge Analytica was a breech of trust. Facebook fell today, as well as a number of other tech names. Very turbulent day today. Rebecca, thank you.

And david, officials are saying, no shots were fired in this incident. The air force and fbi are working together in this joint investigation. David . Marci gonzalez live in california, thank you. Next tonight, to that chilling new video from las vegas, in the days leading up to that massacre. At the time, there were so many questions, how did the gunman get that arsenal up to the 32nd Floor Hotel Room . Well, tonight, the video shows how. Heres abcs Senior National correspondent matt gutman, back in las vegas. Reporter the man who turned his xury hotel suite into a snipers den moved through the mandalay bay like any other guest. The newly released Surveillance Video shows Stephen Paddock checking in on september 25th, walking up to the v. I. P. Counter a full six days before the massacre. Alone, he sits down at the sushi bar. Lebron james on the screen above. Its only hours later he begins to bring in his arsenal. Paddock pulling his car around. A bellhop brings over a cart. And together they wheel five large bags to the Hotels Service elevator, heading up to that suite on the 32nd floor. That was only phase one. Police photos later revealed a massive cache of weapons, 23 in all. Rifles everywhere, on the bed, by the bar. On the floor, thousands of rounds of ammunition. They were brought in methodically, one trip after another after another, over the course of several days. None of it raising any flags. Paddock casually chatting with a porter, handing him a tip. Seven more bags on a cart heading upstairs. Most nights he played high stakes video poker, sometimes working two machines at once. Shaking hands with a casino employee. He was a regular. And they knew him there. On the video, he seems relaxed. An unassuming presence, moving among the hotel guests. Politely making way for tourists toting inner tubes. On the day of the massacre, hauling one last load of luggage up the 32nd floor. Ten hours later, he opened fire. [ gunshots ] days after that, we got a birds eye view of the aftermath. It doesnt look so much like there was a concert there, but that a tornado swept through there. Those overturned lawn chairs, weve seen strollers there, weve seen walkers there. Evidence of just the absolute chaos. What the video couldnt show is how paddock rigged his room. His own surveillance cameras under that plate, the barriers on the door, the hammer he used to shatter the window in his snipers perch. And finally, his lifeless body among the bullet casings. Matt gutman with us again tonight. And matt, the hotel is releasing the very say lens, saying that it shows howl paddock was able to blend in without raising red flags . Reporter thats right, david. They say it shows the extraordinary lengths he went to to try to hide his activity, bringing those weapons in on five separate occasions. Sometimes in the middle of the night, indicating that there was virtually nothing that could have been done to have stopped him. Now, one mystery remains here, and thats his motive. He killed himself without leaving a trace. David . All right, matt gutman, thank you. We turn now to newly released images from the Sacramento Police department, after an unarmed black man was shot and killed. Video showing officers chasing the man, then unleashing 20 shots.

Reporter that car, parked at clarks grandmothers house. Seconds later, you see police approaching him. Shots fired. Shots fired. Reporter police say they fired 20 rounds because clark advanced towards them holding what they believed to be a gun, and that they feared for their safety. We cant go over to get you help unless we know you dont have your weapon. Reporter police held their positions for nearly six minutes, waiting for backup before administering cpr.
