Com. We want to turn now to the story that will likely dominate the minds of many americans. The david and goliath clash in tonights super bowl. Its the heavily favored fivetime champions new England Patriots against the underdog Philadelphia Eagles who are attempting to win their first super bowl. Weve got all the angles covered from the game and security to the frigid weather. Speaking of the weather theres a live shot of the stadium in minnesota. Where the game will be played. The temperature frigid. We have Team Coverage throughout the broadcast. Well start with eva pilgrim. Shes right there in minneapolis. Eva, good morning to you. Good morning, guys. You can feel the excitement already. Its not because it is insanely cold, and it is cold, just like minnesota is used to. This city is ready for the fans and they are ready for todays big game. Reporter a million fans have poured into minneapolis for one of the Largest Sporting events in the world, the super bowl. The super bowl is a tier one National Security event. Theres extra layers of security in place that are unique and different. From almost any other event that happens. Reporter but not without issue. The local Security Company hired to handle super bowl live the outdoor Fan Experience was fired just days ago concerns raised over how they vetted their employees. Epg saying its not at liberty to comment at changing security assignments but it has a strong track record. A new company now securing the event. As for the game, a huge Security Force is ready. Bomb sniffing dogs, officers on the ground and in the air and this massive chain link and concrete fence surround u. S. Bank stadium. The bitter cold another challenge for Law Enforcement. For the First Time Ever fans will go to security screenings before getting to the stadium. Well screen a lot of people off site. So nobody has to wait in line in the freezing cold. Reporter once cleared from the mall of america fans will be shuttled to the stadium. With this being the coldest super bowl ever, local hospitals are on alert. Were quite concerned and quite ready for an influx from people unfortunately intoxicated and maybe not making the best decisions. And partying a little bit too much in a minnesota winter. Thats a bad combination. Reporter this weather is dangerously cold. It doesnt take long to get frost bite. If you are out here and have exposed skin. Just to describe how cold it is, this morning my nose wants to run, guys. Its so cold its freezing before it actually comes out of my nose this morning. That is the level of cold we are dealing with. Tmi. Ron just said tmi. Eva pilgram taking us inside the mechanics of her nose. We appreciate that. Ron points out its freezing out there, but the game is inside. That is the good news. Once again thank you to eva. We turn to politics and President Trump declaring the controversial memo released friday quote totally vindicates him in the russia investigation. This morning the democrats are out with new push back. George is standing by with analysis. But we begin with david wright in West Palm Beach where the president is spending his weekend. David, good morning. Good morning, paula. The president claims the memo vindicates him in the russia probe. The democrats are blasting back accusing House Republicans who voted along party lines to release that document of being part and parcel of an organized effort to obstruct the special counsels investigation. Here in florida the president is celebrating tweeting this memo totally vindicates trump. In probe. The russia witch hunt goes on and on. This is an american disgrace. Trump and his allies insist the document released friday is Proof Positive the special counsels investigation is nothing more than partisan politics. They got a warrant on someone in the trump campaign, used the Opposition Research paid for by the Democratic Party and the Hillary Clinton campaign. Reporter trump left open the possibility he may fire Rod Rosenstein who is singled out in the memo for criticism. Reporter will you fire Rod Rosenstein . Reporter do you have confidence in him . You figure that one out. Reporter this sixpage democratic rebuttal written by the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee insists no credible basis whatsoever for removing him. If the president is looking to fire mr. Rosenstein he will have to look outside the nunes memo. For his pretext. Some say the president may have started laying the groundwork for that. At the state of the union. Tonight i call on congress to empower every cabinet secretary with the authority to reward good workers and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the american people. Reporter could the broad new standard the president proposes apply to federal Law Enforcement officers . Leaders of the president s own party have been unwilling to accept the gop memo as a reason to end the russian probe. This memo is not an indictment of the fbi, the department of justice. It does not impune the Mueller Investigation or the Deputy Attorney general. We should clarify this democratic rebuttal is not the classified democratic memo you may have heard about. This was circulated to House Democrats on saturday. Tomorrow democrats on the House Intelligence Committee plan on renewing their efforts to get their memo declassified. Thats something that the republicans have so far declined to do. Dan and paula. More Light Reading we can look forward to this week. David right. Thank you. We want to bring in george stephanopoulos. Good morning, george. Does it appear trump has teamed himself up to oust Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein . You heard in that piece when asked specifically about Rod Rosenstein he said you figure that out. If so, what are the political ramifications . The white house has said no the president is not going to fire Rod Rosenstein. They said hes not planning on firing Robert Mueller. We know the president has been agitated about this and has complained about both mueller and rosenstein and threatened at times to follow through on that. The white house says thats not going to happen. What youre seeing is an effort to discredit the entire russia investigation. The president claims hes vindicated there. Not only democrats, but independent analysts show it doesnt come close to vindicating the president. Its filled with inaccuracies. They claim that some of the dossier was paid for was revealed to the judge. We wont know the truth until we know the underlying intelligence. Whatever you think of the president s motives here or the accuracy of the memo, has the president and his allies created enough fog around this issue whatever mueller releases in the end people will not believe it . I dont know how many people. Clearly the president has a Campaign Going and hes backed up by republican allies in the media and congress to discredit the mueller probe. Whether that will succeed i think depends on what mueller finds. We dont know what evidence mueller has. We dont know what his conclusions are. Perhaps Robert Mueller doesnt know his conclusions. There is no question i think youre right weve seen an effort to tarnish the investigation and color the reaction whenever these findings are made. George, thank you. So much for the analysis. Just a reminder george has a packed show coming up. Hell talk about the gop memo with two key members. Top democratic congressman adam schiff and republican congressman will hurd. This week kicks off abcs 2018 coverage of midterms. I travelled to the 18th district of pennsylvania where a special election battle could set the tone. Its all coming up later. Well see you in a little bit. Thanks, george. Well turn to hollywood and uma thurmans allegations about mistreatment. Shes accusing Harvey Weinstein of Sexual Assault and that Quentin Tarantino put her in harms way during a stunt. Marci gonzalez has more. Reporter uma thurman performing on broadway but staying quiet about her newly reported allegations against Harvey Weinstein. After months of hints. When im ready, ill say what i have to say. Reporter New York Times columnist maureen dodd writing thurman told her weinstein wearing a bathrobe tried to lure her into a steam room. Shortly after in london thurman claims he pushed me down and tried to shove himself on me and tried to expose himself. Thurman said she told him if you do what you did to me to other people youll lose your career, reputation and family. Weinsteins attorney saying he is stunned and saddened by what he claims are false accusations. There may be no one actor or actress more intertwined with Harvey Weinstein than uma thurman. This particular set of allegations is all the more disturbing because theyre practically synonymous with each others careers. Reporter weinstein produced 19 1994s hit pulp fiction and 2003, 2004 kill bill films. Thats where thurman famously drove that blue convertible. All three films directed by Quentin Tarantino. Who thurman also called out in the times interview. The actress now saying tarantino forced her to drive the car. Against her wishes releasing this behind the scenes crash footage she says gave her a concussion. And serious bruises. And she called that experience dehumanization to the point of death. We reached out to tarantino for comment but have not heard back. Dan, paula. Marci, thank you very much. Lets check the weather. As we said at the top of the show, weather is a huge factor right now in minneapolis. Were going to take you back there. We saw eva freezing outside. They had snow yesterday. This is outside minneapolis. I8 i894, big pileup there, up to vehicles involved. There were five injuries. Just an absolute mess. The snow has stopped there. Its moving to the east. The cold air has barrelled in. New york seeing heavy snow yesterday as well. With little lake enhancement. Theres our next batch of cold air. There it is. The wind chills minus 21. Thats this morning. Not warming up a whole lot. This is pushing off to the east as well. 7 00 p. M. Windchills 11 below 0. Thank goodness they play that game inside. Heres the snow and some warm air and some rain and icing west of i85. I95 will be mostly rain with this system. You have to go west to see the snow mixing in. Again, once it mixes in were looking at the cold moving in. Theres your potential for ice and snow upwards of a foot in some spots. Thats a check of whats happening nationally. Good sunday morning, just a few high clouds, the president s mainly in the 40s and 50s a few 60s at the coast more record warmth today, temperatures above average for the next week or so and in fact, staying dry through next two weeks. Highs today in the low 70s from oakland, San Francisco upper 70s and down towards mountain view, if the cold has you down, go west. Record breaking heat across california. Well go over those temperatures in the next half hour. We havent seen enough Ron Claiborne this morning. Youre right. Good morning. Were going to begin with a new report alleging dozens of young girls molested by larry nassar while the fbi took more than a year investigating claims he was sexually abusing gymnasts. In his care. The New York Times reporting the fbi became aware of allegations of abuse against nassar in july of 2015. It wasnt until 14 months later they became public. Nassar has already been sentenced to two centuries in prison. And faces more time. In
