Live from studio 1 a in r rockefeller plaza. Thank you for joining us. Im sheinelle jones. Im craig melvin. Hard to believe were talking about the possibility of a Tropical Storm for the northeast this late in the year. I know youre tracking Hurricane Season does go for a little bit longer, but the fact that we could see the impacts of a tropical system is interesting. Lets begin this morning with some breaking news overnight. A report that a major step forward has been taken in special counsel Robert Muellers investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 election. Nbc Kelly Odonnell is at the white house with more. Reporter good morning. So many unresolved questions about russias extent of interference in the 2016 campaign and who if anyone in the orbit of donald trump might be involved. Those questions have been the work of the grand jury and the special counsel largely in secret but today there is a potential new development. This morning what could be a major step forward in special counsel Robert Muellers investigation. Cnn is reporting that a grand jury on friday approved the first charges in the probe and that anyone targeted could be forced to surrender as soon as monday. Nbc news has been unable to confirm the report. Mueller, a former fbi director, was appointed last may to look into whether the Trump Campaign colluded with russia to influence the 2016 election. Muellers team has also been investigating foreign lobbying by former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former National Security adviser Michael Flynn among others. Manafort and flynns lawyers have denied any wrongdoing. Before the news broke, President Trump tweeted on friday it is now commonly agreed after many months of costly looking that there was no collusion between russia and trump. Was collusion with h. C. Still no evidence of collusion between the president and all of your news organizations have spent probably a lot of money on this as well which we would consider a pretty big waste. But the investigation by the special counsel and congress is going full team. Friday former trump adviser carter page met with former staffers for more than five hours. Nbc news has learned investigators questioned President Trumps former Attorney Michael Cohen earlier this week over a failed plan to open a new tower in moscow. Both cohen and page insist they are being smeared by false allegations. As to the Trump Administration claims, its the Clinton Campaign that colluded with russians. Were starting to now see that all of the things the democrats had accused this president of doing they were actually guilty of themselves. Reporter that is a rfreferee to something that has a new twist. A washington conservative publication says it paid a Research Firm to do some of the initial digging on donald trump as a candidate and then later the Democratic National committee and the hillary Clinton Campaign also paid for that and it led to the dossier that has commonly been referred to as the steel dossier, part of the Opposition Research in the campaign. The fact that there was a clinton connection has angered many who support President Trump. Kelly, thank you. An nbc news legal analyst, also host of the beat. We want to reiterate this is cnns reporting. Nbc working to confirm the details of this report. Again, monday we could be looking at the first subject or subjects taken into custody if this report suggest accurate. How surprised are you that were just five months in and here we are with a possible first indictment and what can we glean from the speed with which all of this is happening . This is a blockbuster story from cnn if it bears out that there are several indictments and that people could be arrested as soon as this weekend or monday. The speed tells us that bob mueller is not waiting until the end of the investigation to do indictments. That he is beginning while he has interviews left. That is according to our reporting. He hasnt finished going up the chart for the top interviews. It tells us that he may ultimately want to use this process to get further cooperation or information in a longer running investigation. So thats why he would indict someone this soon, with the hopes perhaps of getting this person or persons to flip, if you will, to become states witness. Thats a key benefit that km would come from this. They would never say theyre doing this. They would say they found enough facts to charge. Andrew weissman is the same prosecutor who got a lot of people in the enron case to flip by charging their spouses on what were seen as various aggressive ways to go after tax evasion and other issues. Those people later did flip. So we do know something about the fact even if we cant predict the future. Since the indictment is under seal and we dont know who is being charged or what theyre being charged with, talk about why mueller would do this. What is the benefit of sealing the charges . Youll see salealed charges where you dont want it to go public. It might be their aspects that you have proven to a judge and need to stay sealed. The fact that its secret right now doesnt mean it will be secret forever. A lot of folks at home have heard this. Is this politics. Bob muller the former republican fbi director, a grand jury who are peers in washington, d. C. , we are moving away from the politics and towards a Legal Process that suggest there are facts if there are indictments that got us to the point where somebody is alleged to have broken the law. Always good to have your insight. You can catch ari on the beat only on msnbc. Also this morning there are a lot of questions surrounding a Small Montana company that was awarded to restore power to puerto rico. Looking into the 300 million deal after controversy arose about how Whitefish Energy got the go ahead in the first place. Gabe gutierrez is in san juan with more. Good morning. Reporter fema says it has significant concerns about this contract and puerto ricos governor says an initial audit suggests there was not sufficient evidence to conclude whether proper hiring requirements had been met. A growing controversy not just here in puerto rico but on capitol hill. This morning mounting questions about how Whitefish Energy scored a 3 300 million deal to row store power to puerto rico. I think the government did not look for mutual aid. Did not call up Utilities Companies in the United States which is what is normally done surprises me. Some democrats including nancy pelosi calling for the contract to be canceled. The puerto rican government does not have the right to auditor review the cost. Whitefish says it welcomes the audit and is its a Small Company with more than 300 on the island moves faster than competitors. The conspiracy theories, i get their questions. The contract is the alt bility get the work done. Ryan zinke at the white house friday for a prescheduled meeting with President Trump. He did ask secretary zinke just for clarification purposes and he reiterated once again that we have no role, the federal government and specifically he had no role in that contract.

Jose tells us how this san juan neighborhood has been in the dark for more than seven weeks since Hurricane Irma before maria. Theres, like, no hope. We dont know whats going to happen. Theres theres a struggle. The head of Puerto Rico Power Authority who approved the deal said hed do it again and that theres nothing illegal. Multiple congressional committees are promising full investigations to find out exactly who was behind the deal. Gabe, thank you. Another big story were following this morning. Thats the weather.

We have a cold front moving in. Thats going to tap in to some of the leftover moisture with this system and thats going to develop into not so much a noreaster but we will see gusty winds and also a lot of rain.

Outrage is growing after a female High School Golfer was denied a win at a recent tournament even though she beat all of the boys. Now shes being denied the chance to compete in a states tournament. Good morning. It is great to see you. Emily nash, she loves to play golf, but get this. She plays for her High School Boys team since they dont have one for the girls. On tuesday she got on the course. She played her heart out. She even won. But the state rules let her play with the guys but they didnt let her win like one. By all accounts, 16yearold emily nash has a golf swing most weekend hackers would die for. This week she shot a 3 over par 75 in a massachusetts boys golf tournament. Four strokes better than her closest competitor the states Athletic Association wouldnt acknowledge her win. Says she cant go on to next weeks state tournament and gave the first place trophy to the runner up. Emily taking it in stride. I cant necessarily have the title, so they gave it to the second place guy. And then he offered the trophy to me, which was super nice and classy of him. Massachusetts state rules say that girls playing on a fall boys team cant go to the individual tournament. In other words, emily cant earn her own points, but her points can help the boys team with their total. A disappointment to her fans and her dad. If she can play with the boys and play the same distance, same rules, i dont understand why they cant give her credit for winning the tournament. Some legendary golfers rushed to her defense. Annika sorenstam tweeting unacceptable. Curtis strange writing in 2017 i hope you see how ridiculous this is. Emily says she is disappointed but she knows she won fair and square it was pretty important for me to win because ill never be beaten straight up just a bunch of boys. In a statement the massachusetts Athletic Association says their guidelines have always been clear. Female golfers cannot compete individually with the boys, but that emily can compete with the girls in the spring. Sounds like maybe they should probably change the rule. Youre a golfer. What do you think . She won. She knows she won. You beat boys all the time on the golf course. Yeah, you do. You tell me. I dont. Thank you, morgan.

Welcome back to today on a saturday morning. That kid by the way in a costume, one of six kids. An energetic crowd. We have a lot to get to this morning. Lets begin with todays news. Good morning. Im Kelly Odonnell at the white house. Is there a new chapter coming in the sprawling russia investigation . The special counsel Robert Muellers office is not commenting on a new report from cnn that a grand jury has prepared charges. Its unclear who would be the target and what those charges are. But this is coming at a time when the work has been going on for months behind closed doors. This morning what could be a major step forward in special counsel Robert Muellers investigation. Cnn is reporting that a grand jury on friday approved the first charges in the probe. And that anyone targeted could be forced to surrender as soon as monday. Nbc news has been unable to confirm the report. Mueller, a former fbi director, was appointed last may to look into whether the Trump Campaign colluded with russia to influence the 2016 election. Muellers team has also been investigating foreign lobbying by former Trump Campaign manager paul ma nafort and michael flyn. Manafort and flynns lawyers have denied any wrongdoing. Before the news broke President Trump tweeted on friday it is now commonly agreed after many months of costly looking that there was no collusion between russia and trump. Was collusion with h. C. Meaning hillary clinton. President trumps press secretary Sarah Sanders agreed. Theres still no evidence of collusion between the president and anyone. All of your news organizations have actually spent probably a lot of money on this as well which we would consider probably a pretty big waste. Reporter but the investigation by the special counsel and congress is going full steam. Friday former trump adviser carter page met with Senate IntelligenceCommittee Staffers for more than five hours. Plus nbc news has learned that congressional investigators questioned President Trumps former personal Attorney Michael Cohen earlier this week over a failed plan to open a new tower in moscow. Both cohen and page insist they are being smeared by false allegations. And as to the Trump Administration claims, its the Clinton Campaign that colluded with russians. I think were starting to now see that all of the things that the democrats had accused this president of doing, they were actually guilty of themselves. Sanders is referring to whats been known as the steel dossier. Opposition research on candidate donald trump. Its now known that a conservative washington publication paid an organization to do that research and then the payments were taken over by the Democratic National committee and Hillary Clintons campaign to fund the Operation Research on donald trump. Kelly odonnell, thank you. Now to another big story that were following this morning and that is the weather. Theres a major washout expected from florida into the northeast. Dylan continues to follow that for us. Its kind of a combo of two different systems. The first one has the potential of becoming a tropical system later on today. If it does, it would become Tropical Storm phillipe. It is going to crossover western cuba, stay just to the southeast of miami. It will produce about 1 to 4 inches of rain. Then it moves out to sea. However, theres an approaching cold front from the west thats going to tap in to some of some moisture from this tropical system and its going to develop into a more pouwerful storm fro the northeast. Today most of the rain will be across the interior northeast but then watch all the rain that comes in, especially across most of new england as we go through sunday into the afternoon and overnight hours. Were also looking at wind gusts at possibly around 50 Miles Per Hour. Eastern long island and eastern new england. And then by monday morning most of this will start to pull out. Were looking at about 4 to 5 inches of rain possible especially across upstate new york. As far as winds are concerned, we could see them up to around 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour for eastern parts of the northeast. Lets take a look at some other stories making headlines. This morning james mattis warns the threat of a Nuclear Missile attack by north korea is increasing.
