It better be crazy, justin, because for you to have left n sync, there should be a darn good reason for it. Although you did do pretty well in your solo career. We appreciate you calling and telling us why you would break up the band that has sold 50 million albums, gave us so many hits and left us to try to like j. C. Chasez. Maybe theyll have a reunion. The answers this thursday, february 9th. Announcer from abc news, this is world news now. Oh, oh. Lets begin as we say hello. All right. Back to the news. Back to the news. Even though you know the inner n sync is with us. Well break down all that. Lets begin with President Trumps fight against federal judges. The ones hes deciding whether his controversial travel ban should be reinstated. That decision could come as soon as today. So the president seemed to apply some pressure saying in a tweet that if the ban isnt put back in place, we can never have the security and safety to which we are entitled. And there was some pushback from the president S Supreme Court nominee as Abcs Cecilia Vega reports. Reporter President TrumpS Supreme Court pick making the rounds on capitol hill. And while making nice with senators, judge neil gorsuch had some harsh words about the man who nominated him. His spokesman confirming that during a meeting with one senate drarkts judge gorsuch described President Trumps recent criticism of judges as demoralizing and disheartening. The president has lashed out at the federal judge who put a temporary hold on his immigration ban calling him a socalled judge and saying hes to blame if anything happened. And he seemed to criticize the federal judges currently deliberating the appeal of that ruling. I dont ever want to call a court biased so i wont call it biased. We havent had a decision yet. But courts seem to be so political. Reporter those three judges now considering whether to reinstate the travel ban had tough questions for lawyers on both sides, one asked whether the administration had any proof that travelers from the seven muslim majority countries present a threat. Has the government pointed to any evidence connecting these countries with terrorism . Reporter another judge asking the Washington State lawyer challenging the ban why he believes the president s executive order unfairly targets muslims. I have trouble understanding why were supposed to infer religious animus when in fact the vast majority of muslims would not be affected as residents of those nations. Reporter watching at home in the white house, President Trump clearly not impressed. And i was a good student. I understand things. I comprehend very well. Okay . Better than i think almost anybody. And i want to tell you i listened to a bunch of stuff was disgraceful. Reporter as the president attacks the judicial branch, hes also accused of fanning fears about what he describes as a growing terror threat, dropping a hint about what hes learned in his classified briefings. Believe me, ive learned a lot in the last two weeks. And terrorism is a far greater threat than the people of our country understand. Reporter a striking shift from past president s who have urged americans to be vigilant but not afraid. We pressed the white house for an explanation. Is there a specific threat that he is talking about . And should the american public, based on that statement right there, be fearful . No, but i think the American People should understand that the president s committed to do this. We face a very, very real threat in isis and radical islamic terrorism. But just to clarify though, is the threat today because thats what hes saying. I understand what hes saying. What im telling you is we shouldnt ever be behind the curve on the threats this country faces. We should make sure we dont ming. When the next one is and from the president , this ominous tweet about the on going legal battle. Big increase in traffic into our country from certain areas while we wait. Sean spicer said he wanted to pool the data and he would get back to reporters pressing him on the president s tweeted. We are still waiting. Ate department. Ity and the ent they also could not tell us whether there has been an increase in people as the president said, coming from certain areas. Cecilia vega, abc news, the white house. And the nations new attorney general Jeff Sessions will be at the white house this morning to be sworn into office. Sessions was confirmed by his former Senate Colleagues last night on nearly a party line vote. That vote ended a partisan battle in which democrats said sessions wouldnt do enough to protect the rights of minorities and others. Sessions has resigned his senate his replacement will be named by the governor of alabama. The other major developing story this morning is the massive snowstorm headed for the northeast. A foot of snow or more is expected to arrive during the morning rush and most School Districts have already begun announcing canceled classes or closed school entirely. The airlines have canceled thousands of todays flights in and out of the region which may impact travel in other parts of the country. Public works employees are pulling all nighters getting ready to keep the roads clear or as clear as possible anyway trying to prevent some repeats of this scene in suburban boston yesterday morning. Amazingly no one was injured as this suv went sliding down a hill. Not even the pedestrian you might have noticed that is hugging a wall there. Scary stuff. Yeah, absolutely. All the more reason why workers will have to extra prepare today to make sure that the roads are nice and salted to try to avoid any messes like the amount of snow will vary greatly. Thanks and good morning to you. This is a quick hitting but very potent snowstorm working its way throughout the northeast. Most of the impacts being felt into the first half of the day from new york city south and west. It goes later on from boston northbound to portland where some areas could be topping a foot of snow. In addition to that, very, very gusty winds and some cold, cold temperatures. Lots of travel delays are expected. Diane, kendis . Our thanks to justin. A former contractor for the National Security agency has been charged in a massive breach of secret documents. Harold martin is accused of spending years collecting large amounts of classified information and storing it in his home and in his car. Hes been charged with 20 counts of taking National Defense information. He faces decades in prison if convicted. A phoenix man has been sentenced to 30 years behind bars on charges he provided support to isis. Authorities say Abdul Malik Abdul kareem, an american born muslim convert, helped two followers carry through an attempted attack outside a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest. In texas in 2015. The two were killed in a shootout with police. The pentagon announcing at least 11 al qaeda operatives were killed during u. S. Air strikes in syria, including anside operative with close ties to Osama Bin Laden and the man who replaced him. The pentagon says Abu Hami Al Masri was in charge of Training Camps in the 80s and 90s. And White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer says critics of the u. S. Raid in yemen should apologize. Spicer singled out senator john mccain who says he would not describe the raid as successful. Mccain noted the death of u. S. Navy seal ryan owens. Spicer took issue with that saying the raid was indeed a success. And i think anyone who would suggest its not a success does disservice mccain dismissed the call for an apology citing his own time as a p. O. W. In vietnam. He says a failed rescue mission in no way diminishes the courage of the troops. We are getting our first look this morning at the torch for the south korea 2018 winter Olympic Games.

He said it started out as a snowball fight and turned into an avalanche. He also says, i was growing out of it and i felt like i cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group.

March cover of vogue magazine claims to celebrate all types of women featuring seven but the magazine accused of digitally altering the image most notably freakishly and weirdly extending the hand of gigi hadid, do you see that, its placed near Ashley Grahams waist. Shes like three people over. Its a little unbelievable. Vogue appears to have doctored up the image of graham who openly celebrates her size and she says the cellulite on her thighs and all but they added a white seam and a tag on her shorts where it was plain black in candid paparazzi photos taken during the shoot back in december. So perhaps the gigi edit was part of the effort to make her look thinner. Why do this. But they do this often. Remember this one from Kendall Jackson and gigi hadid sporting bare legs without knees on the cover, cover of w magazine. They dont need to bend their legs. Thats fine. How can we forget Victoria Beckham in another an apparent vogue photoshop fail with a giant chunk removed from her right thigh. Its just gone. Not there. All right.
