Here in washington on the impeachment front, today marks another critical day with the House Intelligence Committee expected to vote on its impeachment report tonight. New this morning, President Trump attacking the impeachment inquiry from overseas. I would say this, i think its very unpatriotic of the democrats. Reporter devoting much attention during his first Public Comments at the nato summit in london to blasting the impeachment process and his political opponents. I think its a very bad thing for our country. The democrats have gone nuts. Theyre crazy. I did nothing wrong. I had a great conversation. Very respectful conversation. Reporter it comes as democrats back in washington say theyll publicly release their report today, detailing the case for impeachment against President Trump. Theres really no contesting the facts. Theres no contesting what all of these witnesses have said. Reporter after a vote on that report tonight, the House Intelligence Committee is expected to turn it over to the Judiciary Committee that would write any articles of impeachment. Top democrat adam schiff says the Intelligence Committee will keep investigating while outlining the scheme to benefit President Trump politically. He was willing to sacrifice not only ukraines security but our own national security, our own fight against russian aggression in the service of his political aspirations.

Mr. Trumps lawyers attacking what they call an irretrievably broken process. The committees democratic chairman jerry nadler calling that decision unfortunate. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a Climate Summit in spain declining to discuss the impeachment process. We arent here to talk about impeachment or the president of the United States. Were here to talk about, i have a rule of codels, when we travel abroad, we dont talk about the president in a negative way. Peter, you mentioned democrats are going to release their report today. Right now its actually under lock and key, behind closed doors and members can come visit it and read it. Reporter youre exactly right. Throughout this day, the members of the House Intelligence Committee, they will be able to review the impeachment report before the rest of america sees it, and before the committees vote tonight. They are expected to approve that report tonight, so then it goes to the Judiciary Committee that will host a hearing with constitutional experts tomorrow. Theyll discuss whether the president s actions amount to high crimes and misdemeanors and worth watching here, House Democrats are now considering whether to expand articles of impeachment to include charges that go beyond ukraine that might include findings from the Mueller Report as well.

Reporter the french leader said the Global Alliance is experiencing the brain death of nato. Macron made the comments as a criticism of President Trumps decision to pull troops out of syria. The president firing back at macron today. Its a tough statement but when you make a Statement Like that, that is a very very nasty statement to essentially 28, including them, 28 countries. Reporter but President Trump has been sharply critical of nato himself since taking office, accusing other member countries of failing to pay their fair share in defense spending. Im going to tell nato, you have to start paying your bills, the United States is not going to take care of everything. And were the schmucks that are paying for the whole thing. Reporter another close reliance under scrutiny, the president s relationship with british Prime Minister boris johnson, while the two will cross paths this week, they do not have an official one on one meeting scheduled yet.

Craig joins the table. Another big story is the weather. Good morning to you.

Mr. Roker is standing by with that forecast, but first, nbcs kathy park once again in albany, new york, where this morning a state of emergency has been declared kathy, good morning. Reporter hey, craig, good morning to you, in places like albany, the snow has been very persistent we have been following it ever since sunday afternoon you might remember this time yesterday we had about a foot of snow on the ground, now the number is closer to 20 inches so certainly a lot of digging out to do here and throughout the northeast. This morning much of the northeast is buried in snow. After a powerful winter storm pummelled the region over the last 24 hours. Inconvenience, just because you plan your day, but this weather is impossible to plan it. Reporter overnight, conditions got worse in connecticut and new jersey as rain turned to several inches of snow the same system that brought bad weather to the midwest this weekend unloaded a wintry mess monday from tennessee to maine the powerful storm now being blamed on at least seven deaths.

Reporter the noreaster complicating air travel, too, with thousands of Flight Cancellations and delays for post thanksgiving travelers still trying to get home i tried to rebook us, there was nothing available. All the flights were cancelled theres not too many options reporter so where we are, the snow is finally starting to taper off. The conditions are still very chilly, only in the 20s right now, and temperatures are expected to be below average throughout the rest of the week, so a lot of the snow will be sticking around for quite some time craig. Kathy park in 20 inches of snow, there in albany, new york. All right. Were going to head over to mr. Roker, weve got a question thats on everyones mind, al, when will this end about the next 12 hours for the northeast and new england. In fact, albanys 20. 3 inches of snow, thats the fifth largest december snowstorm they have ever had, and its the snowiest storm since 2002 this morning, possible delays for boston logan, laguardia, newark, jfk because of gusty winds and then this thing starts to pull away morning snow and wind for new england, but behind that system, gusty winds come in out of the northwest, thats going to cause an increase in lake effect snow and reinforce the chill in the northeast. Snowfall amounts, the leeward side of the great lakes around buffalo, new york, oswego, erie, pennsylvania, upwards of six inches close to a foot in parts of northern new england. Guys als going to keep an eye on this throughout the show thanks, al jimmy carter is back in the hospital this morning, being treated for a urinary tract infection.

But she Wont Disclose what really happened because she says it would be inappropriate for his wife and children. And thats leading to speculation about his ouster this morning, chicagos top cop is out of a job, and questions are swirling about what led to Eddie Johnsons firing. Eddie johnson engaged in conduct that is not only unbecoming but demonstrated a series of ethical lapses and flawed Decision Making that is inconsistent with having the privilege of leading the Chicago Police department. Reporter the stunning announcement from the citys mayor Lori Lightfoot came just weeks before johnson was set to refire after more than three decades on the force he had taken over as Police Superintendent in 2016 after the wake of the Laquan Mcdonald shooting and drew National Attention for his departments handling of the Jussie Smollett case he blamed the incident on a problem with his medication. Its painful to admit this, but when he adjusted my medication, i took the old medication for high Blood Pressure but failed to put the new medication in. Reporter but the next day, the mayor said his story changed slightly he revealed he had a couple drinks with dinner. Reporter johnson announced he was going to retire. This job has taken a toll, integrity remains intact. Taken a toll on my health, my family, my friends, but my integrity remains intact.
