glimpse of what s happening behind the scenes in the documents investigation. prosecutors are reportedly laser focused on a witness that could lead them directly to the impeached disgraced president himself. and witness for prosecutors is walt nata who worked as a valet and cook when trump was president and him later personally in mar-a-lago. the president s private residence in florida. prosecutors have indicated they re skeptical of an initial account he gave investigators. that s according to two people briefed on the matter. and here is what prosecutors hope to learn from nauta from the timers reporting, quote, security camera footage obtained by investigators showed mr. nauta moving boxes out of the storage area at mar-a-lago. raising the questions about whether they were moved at trump s behest, to conceal them from the authorities. or trump s own lawyers who were dealing with demands that he return the documents. both the justice department and the attorney for walt na
over a million people are without power from texas to the east coast as bone chilling temperatures kick in. more than two hundred million americans are currently under warnings or advisories. this massive winter storm is causing holiday travel chaos. transportation secretary buda jen says it is going to be days before this gets sorted out. yesterday, about 10% of flights canceled. now, of course, that means 90% of flights were not canceled, but, you know, if it goes above two percent, we consider that a lot. so 10% means just a lot of disruption for a lot of passengers now getting back to normal. but we re seeing, again, over the middle of the country that extreme cold and then the east that that wind and snow coming. it s going to be rough for certainly the next couple of days. when it comes to aviation. so far , over twenty six thousand flights have been delayed and nearly 9000 canceled since wednesday. mike tobin is at o hare airport in chicago with the latest. hi, m
