to the 2020 election. coming up, what it tells us and what it could mean for donald trump. and at this hour, a message from residents of east palestine, ohio, to federal, state, and local officials. do your jobs because we are scared and we re worried. just a short time ago, the head of the epa arrived at the site of that toxic train derailment, but he shouldn t expect a warm welcome after residents spent hours last night laying into officials who insist the air and water are safe, despite growing reports of people getting sick. we ve got the latest on that and the notable know shows at the town hall meeting coming up. plus, after multiple days of letting his officials do the talking, president biden is finally expected to address those unprecedented shootdowns of objects in the sky, perhaps as early as today. why has it taken so long, and no matter what he says, will it be too little, too late for his critics? we start with the growing outrage in ohio. concerns escalat
information about the potential contender whose home is about to be searched for classified material according to people familiar with the matter. frozen power lines, fallen trees, the misery in texas where ice storms have led to power outages for more than 400,000 people. how long before they get it back? but we begin with the demands for police reform, proclaimed loudly from the pulpit at the mississippi boulevard christian church, and yet, seeming to fall on deaf ears in the halls of congress. later this afternoon, the congressional black caucus is set to meet with president biden demanding new laws to address police brutality hoping that the horrific death of tyre nichols might unlock the political will to do something this time. but senator tim scott is now saying that discussions about bringing back the george floyd justice in policing act that failed 16 months ago are a nonstarter. and so once again, the cycle of outrage, grief, and frustration. as the reverend turne
have an answer to. it can t be we have two tiers of justice in this country. one rule for republicans and another for democrats. if the fbi were serious, they would look at all of biden homes and offices. it will not go away. todd: the republicans want to know why democrats hillary clinton and joe biden get off easy well former president gets completely ransacked. joining us live lucas tomlinson. good morning todd and carl e. president biden s predecessor donald trump being irresponsible with his handling of classified information. here is our quality peter doocy at the white house yesterday. on these documents, how can anyone be that irresponsible? isn t that what this says about classified documents? he believes that classified documents and information should be taken seriously. he takes them seriously and he was surprised to learn of any records. i m not going to go into specifics. but what i m reiterating to you what you heard from the president yourself. t
president biden s handling of classified documents. two senior law enforcement officials who are familiar with that probe tell nbc that the searches were conducted at the university of delaware in recent weeks, not immediately clear what, if anything, might have been seized by the fbi. but again, as with previous searches of the biden homes in delaware and at the penn biden center in washington, our sources tell us the president s lawyers arranged for those recent searches. there were no search warrants involved. portions of the fulton county special grand jury final report just released, so what s in it and what happens next? we re live in atlanta. plus, 2024 presidential hopeful nikki haley taking on president biden, but not so much going after her former boss, donald trump. we ve got that nbc news exclusive interview ahead. and will the fda approve a new tool that could be a game changer in fighting the leading cause of accidental deaths in this country?
nbc has not confirmed that reporting. we have reached out to both pence and the fbi. we haven t heard back. but clearly there seems to be an expansion of where they re going, right? to houses, offices, of a number of different people, presidents, vice presidents, is much of this likely about what seems to be to a lot of outsiders a real need to assess how documents are tracked or are there potentially legal implications here? two things at work here, one is a counterintelligence assessment of whether any national secrets have been compromised. so i can imagine why the fbi wants to search. i don t think this is a search warrant, and we really need to draw the difference there between a consensual search, an invitation to the fbi to come in, take everything and make sure i don t have anything i m not supposed to have and give me a clean bill of health, which this appears to be, which is similar to the searches we ve seen at the biden homes. the difference between that and a court-autho
