This morning on world news now, the book, the bombshell, the backlash. Its revealing new details about life in the west wing and the residents itself. The president lashing out at someone who had been one of his closest advisers, steve bannon, whos quoted in the book taking aim at the president and his family. Lawyers for the president are responding overnight. Were covering it all. A major winter storm slamming the east coast. Thousands of flights already canceled and schools taking no chances. Closed ahead of the monster storm. The latest storm track ahead. And a fire breaks out at the new york property where bill and Hillary Clinton live. Well have the details. And its the best scientific discovery ever. The experts say you should be eating pizza for breakfast. Cant argue with science. It is science after all. It is thursday. It is the 4th of january. From abc news, this is world news now. And we do say good morning everything. We are going to start with the plot twist in americas number one soap opera, just happens to be reality and the main characters are the president and his former chief strategist, steve bannon. The president unleashed on bannon and followed up with a cease and desist letter demanding that he stop making disparaging remarks about the first family or face a lawsuit. In a radio show last night, bannon said the president is a good man but called ivanka dumb as a brick and describes don jr. s meeting with a russian lawyer as treasonous. Reporter former white house chief strategist, steve bannon out with bombshell allegations. Donald trump jr. , Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and a russian lawyer whom they were told had dirt on Hillary Clinton. In an exclusive new book, bannon calls the sitdown treasonous and unpay the rotttriotic and ti hud have been called immediately. In retrospect, i probably would have done things differently. For my, it was Opposition Research. Reporter his father defended him. From a practical stand point, most people would have taken that meeting. Reporter the president insists he was not aware of the meeting during the campaign, but bannon says theres no way thats true, saying the chance that donald trump jr. Didnt walk the attendees right up to his Fathers Office after the meeting ended was, quote, zero. And he warns, going tor. Like a national tv, just months ago, the president lavished praise on his former chief strategist. I have a very good relationship, as you know, with steve bannon. I like steve a lot. Reporter tonight an unprecedented public rebuke. The president saying in a quote, steve bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency. When he was fired he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. The president accuses bannon of leaking to reporters and exaggerating his role, adding steve is learning that winning isnt as easy as i make it look. I think furious, disgusted would probably certainly fit when you make such outrageous claims and completely false claims against the president , his administration and his family. Reporter the bombshell book fire and fury is due out next week. Michael wolff getting exclusive access. He says that they thought they would lose and that kelly aanne conway was actively interviewing for a tv job. Saying that Melania Trump didnt want her husband to win and cried when he did. And that ivanka discussed the possibility of running for president herself one day. The white house dismission it all as trashy fiction. The white house was pushed as to why and how this author had so much access. Because they dont release visitor logs, they say he was here about a dozen times. They also say that the author did have one conversation over the phone, a brief one, with the president , after he took office. But the author says he spoke to more than 200 people, many of them the closest aides to this president. Cecelia vega, abc news, the white house. Thats not all. Let me get ready, because the tea was spilled in that book. There was a whole lot. Shall we go through many details that we learned. So the white house insider shared many of the details about the president , saying he spends his evenings eating cheeseburgers in bed, watching tv and talking on the phone. They say he likes mcdonalds, because he fears being poisoned and with fast food, nobody knows youre coming and the meals are safely premade. One excerpt claimed that the president and first lady sleep in separate bedroom the. Housekeepers are forbidden to pick up his clothes or anything he throws on the floor and no one is allowed to touch his toothbrush. Theres more. I need more tea. The president is described as illinformed. So much so that a top aide was summoned to teach him about the constitution, but he allegedly got bored by the fourth amendment. The book also says that the president is mocked by his own advisers, referring to him as an idiot and a dope behind his back. Woo there was a whole lot. All right, well get to the rest of that throughout the morning because there was plenty. But we have to look at this monster storm playing out rye no right now, packing heavy wind and heavy snow as well as frigid temperatures and hurricaneforce conditions. The storm may be to blame for a partial amtrak Train Derailment in savannah, georgia this morning. Emergency Officials Say switches on the track froze up, but no one on board was injured. And the radar showing the storm moving up the atlantic kohlsco the northeast where blizzard warnings are in force, and it could dump up to ten inches of snow before its over. Washington, d. C. Was one of those spots getting snow. We are with Elizabeth Hur in new york. Reporter good morning to you. And for crews here in the northeast, theyve been down this road before, and Officials Say they are ready. But some towns down south where they dont even have salt trucks to work with, they are dealing with a snowstorm. Some of these towns have not seen this in 30 years. We are talking about parts of georgia and florida, where slick conditions turned highways into ice skating rinks, and driving conditions were just downright dangerous. The heavy wind and snow also wreaked havoc on the roadways in residents were wrarned to stay inside, stay off the roads for their safety. Now as far as snow totals are concerned, forecasters say it depends on where you live along the coast, but some areas in the new england area could get more than a foot of snow when this is all said and done, so how seriously are officials here in the northeast taking this storm . Again, the snow hasnt even started falling. Thats when they announced schools in the philadelphia, new york city and boston areas will be closed today. Their message, bottom line, better safe than sorry. Theres dangerous cold that comes after it as well. The storm is having an impact on air traffic across the country. More than 3,000 flights coming into and out of east coast airports have been canceled so far with more to come for sure later today. Thats creating a trickledown effect at airports nationwide. And that means long waits for those folks who extended their new years holiday waiting to get home. Those lucky foalks. We have an intense storm moving its way up the eastern seaboard. Snow accumulations with highest amounts expected in maine, possibly up to two feet in the maine area. This low pressure system intensifying, not just bringing snow but high, gusty winds. Gusts up to 70 miles per hour. And heres how much were looking at. Two feet possible in maine, near a foot in boston. Lynda, kendis . President trumps former Campaign Chairman is suing Robert Mueller and the justice department. He says they exceeded their authority when they let the russia investigation expand to his business dealings. He is facing Money Laundering allegations going back a decade. He says muellers authority is too broad. He wants the indictments against him thrown out and the scope narrowed. And a small fire created a stir on bill and hillarys property. It broke out on the second floor of a detached building behind their main home in chappaqua, new york. The clintons werent home. The cause is still under investigation. As the snowstorm bears down on the east coast, one more weather note, and it is really significant and dramatic from california. This is just in to us right now take a look.

When youre from the north like we are and youre used to snow and cold weather, we like to tease our friends in the southeast. But the problem is, there are a lot of people not used to the roads and the weather and the bad conditions that it really have something to be concerned about. It is. Make sure everyone is very careful. Were used to those icy, slick roads. There in california, we do send our prayers up to them. Hope theyll get through that rain. Coming up, the first brand new menu item to hit in and out burger in more than a decade. What you can now get to wash down that doubledouble.

Reporter bombshell allegations made by President Trumps former chief strategist steve bannon are rattling the white house. In an explosive new book, bannon describes that infamous 2016 trump tower meeting between Jared Kushner, don jr. , Paul Manafort and a russian lawyer as treasonous and unpatriotic. President trump has defended his son. I think from a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting. Its called Opposition Research or Even Research into your opponent. Reporter mr. Trump insists he knew nothing of the meeting during the campaign. But bannon argues thats not true. He says the chance donald trump jr. Didnt walk the attendees up to his Fathers Office was quote zero. And bannon predicts members of muellers team will crack don jr. Like an egg. He says steve bannon has nothing do with me or my presidency. When he lost his job he lost his mind. I think furious, disgusted would fit when you make such outrageous claims. Reporter the book fire and fury is due out next week. Abc news obtained an advanced copy of the book by veteran journalist michael wolff. Who had unusual access to the west wing. Among the claims, many on team trump, including the candidate himself, didnt think he would win. Even Melania Trump didnt want her husband to win and was in tears when he did. The white house is dismissing the book as tabloid fiction. A spokesperson for the first lady says she was confident he would win and was very happy about his victory. Heres the thing about this. If the white house is dismissing a lot of what theyre saying about the book, then why bother filing this cease and desist to try to shut up steve bannon if what you allege that hes saying is not true at all. Well, i think possibly President Trump just doesnt like that hes saying it or making allegations. He doesnt like them repeated. Im just thinking aloud here. Im saying that the white house is kind of going against their own argument there by filing this. Some of their revelations like the president and first lady sleep in separate bedrooms, i feel like thats not so shocking. Thats called marriage. Not so shocking. For some. Its called relationships. All right, theres so much there about that book. In the meantime, there was stuff that took place at the white house. The president disbanded the commission he convened to investigate voter fraud in 2016s election. The president has repeatedly claimed millions voted illegally, allowing Hillary Clinton to win the popular vote, but the commission never produced any such evidence. The white house blames a decision to dissolve the panel on states refusing to turn over personal data on voters. Breaking overnight, good news about a pair of sisters from texas.

Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea all right, so this morning were getting a look at a disturbing chapter of american history. Many of us will recall that deadly siege of the Branch Davidian complex. It happened nearly 25 years ago after a 51day siege, a fbi tear gas attack, and fire engulfed the compound. 76 people died, including the groups leader, david koresh. Its the subject of an abc special airing tonight. The Branch Davidians are an offshoot of the 7th day adventist church. They had a doomsday prophecy. They believed there would be an end of the world, and when this time came they would die. One of the things about being a Branch Davidian under david koresh is youre supposed to separate yourself from the world. There was no running water, no heat, no electricity of any kind. We had to go to bible study three times a day. Why did you come here . Because i heard there was something here that i wanted to listen to. He was polarizing because hes, what hes doing is so radical. He truly believed he had a mission from god. He told him where to sleep, who to sleep with, what to do, hes the lord of the manor in every sense of the word. He had absolute, absolute authority over the air they breathed, over the literally, the food they ate. He taught that we should not eat any Dairy Products. And his reasoning was Dairy Products are made from milk, which is baby food. Milk is what you eat when youre a baby, and were adults now. Could you have apples and bananas but not bananas and oranges together. There were a lot of food combining rules. You couldnt eat fruit and vegetables together. My wife got into trouble once for telling somebody it was okay to eat cheese. She was put out of camp. So its almost like he was sitting around thinking of really wacky ways to manipulate people. But the idea was to test people, to see if they really believed and would really obey when the time came. Such an interesting story.
