i'm yasmin vossoughian alongside ayman mohyeldin. we'll begin with the breaking news overnight. los angeles police have identified a suspect in the murder of grammy winner nipsy huss hussle. chaos and injuries broke out at a vigil for the late rapper early last night and into the morning. 19 people were taken to the hospital. two in critical condition two others hurt seriously. the l.a. fire department says most of those injuries happened when people were trampled as the crowd ran fearing they heard the sound ever gunfire. there were no reports of any gunshot injuries. but, again, the search is on right now for a suspect in the rapper's murder. the 33-year-old was gunned down outside of his los angeles store sunday afternoon. nipsy hussle is being r--ed for his music and also to promote education in the community. we expect to learn more about the search for the suspect and about last night's violence in a news conference. president trump continues his threat to close the southern border several republicans who represent border states are urging caution. they are noting that mexico was the nation's third largest trading partner last year. and disruptions could impact the u.s. economy. the commerce department estimates that $502 billion in goods cross the border in trucks and trains last year, roughly $1.4 billion every day. that doesn't include products shipped by air and sea. the congressman from texas told a forum in washington quote the president made that statement out of frustration. i don't think he'll shut down the border. john cornyn said i understand the president's frustration. but the unintended consequences would be bad for everybody. senator mcsally told reporters yesterday it is my view that we've got to keep the legitimate trade and travel and cross border commerce happening at the ports of entry while we also need to secure our border and address this crisis. >> president trump is considering hiring an immigration czar to help coordinate the administration's immigration policies across federal agencies. four people tell the ap trump is considering at least two potential candidates. they include former kansas secretary of state and former virginia attorney general ken cuccinelli. both are far-right conservatives. aides hope the potential appointment which they caution is still in the planning stages would serve as the face of the administration on immigration issues and would placate both the president and his supporters showing he's serious and that he's taking action. former homeland security secretary jeh johnson weighed in. >> we have an immigration czar. it's called the homeland security secretary. in 2014 when we had a spike of immigration i was the focal point in dealing with that issue with the support of other agencies. enforcement and administration of our immigration laws is the responsibility of the secretary of homeland security. >> there's a major showdown brewing over the mueller report. house democrats have asked attorney generale with barr to give them the full unredacted report today and if that doesn't happen they are preparing to vote on a subpoena tomorrow. nbc news white house reporter kristen welker has the details. >> reporter: house democratic judiciary chairman jerry nadler demanding will barr turn over the full mueller report or else face a subpoena. nadler writing in the "new york times" if barr done turn over the entire document the attorney general, a recent political appointee undermines the work and integrity of his department. the growing showdown after barr promiseed a redacted version of the nearly 400 page document by mid-april well after nadler's deadline. it comes as president trump has declared total vindication. >> the collusion delusion is over. >> reporter: quoting no matter what information is given to the crazed democrats from the no collusion mueller report it will never be good enough. a career official said 25 security clearances were reversed during the trump administration. among them the president's son-in-law jared kushner. mr. trump has denied having a hand in it. >> i don't think i have the authority to do that. >> our thanks to kristen welker for that report. a second woman has come forward to excuse joe biden of inappropriate contact that made her feel uncomfortable. 43-year-old former congressional aide says it happened while she was volunteering at a political fundraiser in greenwich, connecticut back in 2009. she said quote it wasn't sexual but he grabbed me by my head. pulled me in to rub noses with me. here she is telling part of her story last night. >> he came over and just like slid his hands behind my neck and pulled me close and i was thinking i have like ten minutes of thoughts in two seconds because i was thinking is he going to kiss me. you know, what is he doing? what is he going? are we about to kiss? are we going make out? i don't know. i'm confused. and our noses touched. and then he rubbed noses with me for like ten seconds, 15 seconds, he was saying to me, i don't remember what. and, yeah, i was uncomfortable. it was weird. >> so lappos said i never filed a complaint to be honest because he was the vice president and afc nobody. there's absolutely a line of decency and respect. crossing that line is not grandfatherly, cultural. she adds this quote if biden supports women and gender equality he would step aside and support one of the many talented and qualified women running. the same goes for the other men who have thrown their hat in the ring. women are 52% of the population. we're not a minority. we're a majority. it's time we're represented as such after 45 male presidents, it's time we elect a woman. nbc news has not been able to speak to lappos to see if she can provide corroboration. >> this follows lucy flores who accused the former vice president in touching her shoulders and kissing the back of her head in a nonsexual way back in 2014. the former vice president released a statement acknowledging expressions of affection. but his team issued a more forceful statement. >> all it takes is for people to google, you know, i hate to said, this is the turn that's out there, that describes him. creepy uncle joe or creepy biden and see what comes up in that google search. it feels like almost endless images of him being inappropriate. >> in a new statement a biden spokes man decried smears and forgeries that existed in the detector recesses of the internet for a while exploited by right-wing trolls and others. he highlighted two photos one with the wife of ash carter and another one with chris coons. both have said the characterization of the photos are false. >> joining us now scot t wong. i want you to weigh in. talk to me about how this is playing out, first of all on capitol hill, especially considering his 2020 run and how this could potentially affect the fact that the former vice president has not even announced that he'll run quite yet. >> right. we're in a very interesting situation where joe biden is having to defend himself against these two allegations now when he has not even declared his candidacy for president of the united states. and so it has put his camp in a very awkward position. it also has put biden allies in a very tough spot. they are defending the vice president. but at the same time needing to be very respectful for the women who have come forward and made these allegations against joe biden. and so 2020 candidates, including kirsten gillebrand and others are being asked about these allegations against biden. kirsten gillebrand has been the most forceful in saying joe biden needs to thoroughly explain himself and confront these situations head on. we need to hear more from joe biden, not just a one paragraph statement. and so it is putting a lot of his friends and allies on capitol hill in a very difficult position. >> let's switch gears and talk about the mueller report. the democrats want to see it today unredacted. that won't happen. what's the chances we'll see that report soon not redacted? >> well, i think behind-the-scenes there's probably some negotiations taking place between jerry nadler and the judiciary committee, and the attorney general bill barr. of course the judiciary committee is planning to go ahead and vote on wednesday to get, to subpoena that full mueller report. the public in the coming days and weeks will not see that report in its entirety. it will be a redacted version. but the democrats are salivating over this report. they want to sink their teeth into it. they believe it will lead, perhaps to other types of investigations. they believe that there's so much information here in these 400 pages that it will be really, you know, a treasure trove of information that they can start digging through and perhaps lead to other investigations for the democratic house. >> scott wong for us, good talking to you. zwriept turn back to the murder of north korean leader kim jong-un's half brother at kuala lumpur airport using a never agent back in february of 2017. yesterday a vietnamese woman who was the only speck in custody in malaysia pled guilty to a lesser charge of voluntary causing injury with a dangerous weapon. she had faced a murder charge and the death penalty if convicted. she's expected to be released next month. the other suspect an indonesian woman was freed last month after the case was dropped. the suspects said they thought they were taking part in harmless prank for a tv show. four north korean agents malaysia said that were involved fled the country on the same day of the murder. kim jong-un is widely believed to have ordered this assassination. yesterday in a series of nonbinding votes parliament rejected four alternative brexit plans. it comes just days after lawmakers genre jected prime minister theresa may's brexit deal in less than a week after they voted down eight brexit alternatives. for those keeping score at home w-april 12th divorce date quickly approaching parliament has rejected may's deal three times and has also rejected all of the other brexit options put forward. and this morning the european union's chief negotiator said that a no deal brexit quote becomes day after day more likely. you never know when that story will wrap up at one point and figure out what's going on there. >> whether or not the be uk will leave the eu. >> exactly. >> april 12th. >> so many deadlines at this point. still ahead presidential candidate kamala harris releases new fundraising numbers. we'll take a look at how she compares to other hopefuls. >> president trump turned the spotlight to health care but now he's punting the issue until after the election. we'll have those stories and a check of the weather when we come back. i'm 53. but in my mind i'm still 35. that's why i take osteo bi-flex, to keep me moving the way i was made to. it nourishes and strengthens my joints for the long term. osteo bi-flex. because i'm made to move. this and even this.hark, i deep clean messes like this. but i don't have to clean this, because the self-cleaning brush roll removes hair, while i clean. - [announcer] shark, the vacuum that deep cleans, now cleans itself. dso should the way you bank.. virtual wallet from pnc bank. just one way pnc is modernizing banking to help make things easier. pnc bank. make today the day.

contributors in the first two moves her presidential bid. harris' campaign tells nbc news that the average individual contribution in the first quarter was $55. that's higher than senator bernie sanders donation of $20 and beto o'rourke's average donation of $47. the average online donation given to harris' campaign was $20. the campaign also said that 98% of her contributions were under

it came on the same day that controversy over her book sales picked up steam. it's reported that $100,000 was paid for her children he's book. she previously said the half million dollars she was made

storm system. worst weather by far heading through georgia and south carolina. winds will pick up along the coastal areas. very chilly for this time of the year. charleston has a high of 55 degrees

like the back side of the storm will be cold enough for four to six inches of snow. maybe get snow in the higher terrain of new hampshire and also there in areas of massachusetts. pretty good size

morning's top stories. house democrats are preparing to ramp up their fight to gain access to the full version of robert mueller' report on his russia probe. the head of the judiciary committee has authorized to vote to release the report. the move comes after lawmakers rejected a plan from attorney general william barr to hand over a redacted copy of the document by app. well past of their deadline for today. in addition to the mueller report lawmakers are weighing possible subpoenas for documents from five white house officials related to that investigation. that includes don mcgahn, reince priebus, hope hicks, steve bannon and ann donaldson. >> white house senior adviser jared kushner is dismissing concerns over the authorization of his security clearances as a white house whistle blower raises red flags. elijah cummings revealed yesterday that a person who works in the white house's personnel office relayed her issues about the dysfunction she says she's right-hand over the past two years. the 18-year-old veteran who has served under both republican and democratic presidents told lawmakers that the trump administration overruled at least 25 security clearance denials despite concerns about blackmail, foreign influence or other red flags. she says the decisions to overturn those denials could jeopardy national security and her coming forward was the last hope to bring the integrity back into the office. chairman cummings said his office will subpoena the personnel security director at the white house today and more subpoenas will follow. in an interview last night jared kushner faced scrutiny fired back. >> i can't comment for the white house's process but what i can say is that over the last two years that i've been here i've been accused of all different type of those things and they've under the out to be false. we've had crazy accusations. i complied with all the different investigations whether it be the senate, the house, the special counsel. i sat for nearly 20 hours of interviews with them. talking about this nonsense further especially after two years and being wrong so many times is really not productive and quite frankly is embarrassment for our democracy. >> president trump gave a timeline for the haik. he he declared the 2020 elections will be a referendum on health care. this despite congressional republicans telling reporters they hope the president will drop the subject. fearing another democratic wave in which health care was the most important issue to voters in tweets posted after 10:00 p.m. washington time the president writes the republicans are developing a really great health care plan with far lower premiums, costs, and deductibles that obamacare. . vote will be taken right after the election when republicans hold the senate and win back the house. senate republicans are preparing a major rules change in an order to fast track hundreds of president's nominees. republicans offered a resolution that would reduce the amount of debate time for noncabinet nominees. the plan would cut the additional 30 hours of debate time required for noncabinet officials to two hours. those senate republicans have set a record for the number of trump's judicial anomaly niece. the party blamed democrats for using the senate's rule book for dragging out the confirmation process. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell criticized democrats writing in politico we're not talking about limited opposition to a few high-profile nominees or unusual circumstances. it's mindless leless undiscrimi for the sense of obstruction. joining us on set senior reporter for business insider. great to have you with us. let's talk a little bit about the mueller report and the attempts by congress to subpoena some of these documents. you've been writing a lot about the judiciary committee. is there going to be an intent, meaningful intent, more than just the show of force for political purposes of them actually obtaining any relevant document from the mueller report including the record itself? >> house judiciary chairman jerry nadler signaled if the justice department doesn't comply, if they don't send over the full report and if they don't comply with the subpoena, if the committee does go forward with it tomorrow the committee would be willing to take it to court. the question is how successful would they be if they went to court because there are only a couple of exceptions under which a court would agree to release things like grand jury information which is in the report and it doesn't seem like at this point the committee meets any of those exceptions. >> let's talk about health care because we know it will be on the minds of voters in the lead up to 20. seems the president is punting this fight that he started days ago over health care. i wonder if it's because he's getting push back from republicans opinion he's saying republicans are working on a major health care plan. you won't hear about it until after the election of 2020. that's not putting a lot of confidence in the mind of voters to vote for republicans because of their health care plan because they don't know what could be out there. >> of course this is classic trump. it's also interesting to note the timing here. trump kind of dug his heels in on helps issues like health care and immigration and closing down the border after we heard the mueller report had gone in and he felt he had been exonerated. now that we're getting closer to the report coming out it seems the president is hedging his bets a little bit and changing his position on issues like health care because he feels like there could be an oncoming political storm. >> you think he's changing position on this because the mueller report could be coming out? >> i wouldn't be surprised if that's part of it. i feel a lot of the time what happens is trump initially has a reaction to something like the mueller report there's no collusion, i've been exonerated. now talk about count ee eer intelligence finding that could be in the mueller report that is important for voters to consider for the election. >> we talked about this before. i feel this could have been a real moment on health care for the president if no matter what had come out with the mueller report let's go in strong here. once the murder report comes out we can talk about the health care program. but instead they missed that opportunity because they said we'll own health care. republicans will own health care but had no plan in place to back that you want. >> they could have actually, like you said, could have shifted the agenda and shifted the narrative to focus on issues that republicans want to be focusing on. same way a lot of democratic contenders are doing. they are focusing a lot on health care. >> those out on the trail. not many people are mentioning the mueller report. >> thank you. so we're learning more details about how the kingdom of saudi arabia is attempting to influence outside opinion regarding the murder of jamal khashoggi at the hands of saudi agents. the post has learned khashoggi's children have received compensation from the saudi government for the killing in the form of multi-million dollar houses meanly five figure payments. those sources also say khashoggi's two sons and two daughters may receive much larger pay outs which could amount to tens of millions each which is called blood money negotiations aimed at ensuring that khashoggi's children show restraint in their public statements about the murder of their father. >> to turkey where president erdogan's party has suffered major losses. results shows erdogan's party lost the mayoral race in the capital of ankara

himself more power was elected to a new five year term. last month turkey's economy entered a recession. and unemployment and inflation both remain very high while the value of the turkish lira

census is quote meaningless unless it includes a citizenship question. trump tweeted yesterday can you believe the radical left democrats want to do a new and very important census report without the all-important citizenship question. report would be meaningless and a waste of the billions of dollars, ridiculous that it costs to put together. trump's tweet comes a day before the house oversight committee is set to vote on subpoenaing documents and testimony from the trump administration on the upcoming census. they faced criticism after it announced they would add a citizenship question to census. there are multiple suits to get the question removed. in january a judge blocked the trump administration from adding the question said it's illegal. this month the supreme court is set to hold a hearing on the citizenship question with a ruling expected by june. a massive disaster relief bill that would provide emergency aid to victims of hurricanes, wildfires, flooding and more has been defeated in the senate. democrats oppose legislation arguing that the $600 million proposed for nutritional assistance in storm-ravaged puerto rico that it wasn't enough. instead democrats chose to embrace a house relief bill that contained hundreds of millions of dollars more for puerto rico but that version also failed because of republican opposition. president trump opposes sending any additional aid to puerto rico apart from money for good food stamps. republicans convinced him to accept that funding as the price for passing the long pending disaster bill. let's switch gears and bring in bill karins with a check on your weather forecast. >> rough morning in the southeast coastal areas. almost feel like a tropical storm or maybe even a nor'easter if you're right along the

immediately cut business rates right now. but not everyone agrees. the chief economist moody's spoke to cnbc overnight and warned if they did do that, it would be counterproductive, the economy does not need interest rates now, unemployment is at a 50-year low, wage growth is very, very strong, interest rate, should not be cut here, the fed should not cut here, that is according to moody's. >> i have a feeling steve rattner will be weighing in on this. too bad we don't have a camera on him. >> there he is! >> what do you think? good move or not? >> i don't think we need to cut interest rates now. wo we're close to full employment, the economy is still growing. we'll see what happens. >> perfect tease. >> before we let you go, i want you to weigh in on this burger king thing. >> are they

without meat? with this new collaboration with impossible foods, a company that has come up with a new type of protein made out of peas and it's a protein, they've traded this protein-basedbu burger tha tastes and appears to look like burger as well -- >> it's got to be about taste. >> he said ultimately this is the way the food preferences are going. the millennial generation are moving around from meat-based products and he thinks is a $3 billion product eventually. >> steve, the vegetarian whopper? >> i can say i like burgers longer than anyone else on this show. i didn't like the words "appears to" so i'm going to stick to going to the polo bar for my favorite burger. >> coming up, everybody, jim hand high has a look at this morning's "1 big thing." and coming up on "morning joe,"

joining us from washington with a look at axios am, jim vandehei. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> talk to us about axios's "1 big thing" today. >> mike allen is popping a scoop as we speak. michael bloomberg, who said he was not going to run is now telling advisers he might run, especially if these allegations of joe biden damage him and convince him at some point not to be in the race. blo bloomberg has always wanted to run but has always seen biden as a big roadblock. he felt like they'd be fighting for the same voters. now that biden is having some trouble, in some ways this says as much about biden as bloomberg, they're seeing this is making him wobbly, they're wondering if he'll be able to survive it, then bloomberg sees that centrist part of the electorate as his base. >> one man as miser to -- one man's misfortune is another's opportunity. >> there's been four or five days now constant coverage of biden, none of it positive. a big debate about whether his touchy feeliness is appropriate or inappropriate. that's never good for a politician. everything we're hearing, he's still going to run and even more in some ways certain about running, but inside that campaign, people around biden, they are rattled and they're mad. they feel luke this isike this conspiracy, that it might be bernie sanders people, people inside the party are pushing this, they say it's unfair and they say he's hell bent on getting in and does want to take it to bernie sanders. >> if joe biden is not wavering on his decision to run for 2020, how are dems going to handle it? you think back to the al franken days and dems have really drawn a reasonable doubt line on this. >> so far they've been careful, respectful of bide i don't knn respectful of the two women who have come forward so they're a little bit in a bind. i wouldn't be surprised if you see a candidate or two try to distinguish themselves on being more harsh on bidebiden. biden does have stature and a long relationship with most people running. also these aren't like me-too allegations, they're allegations that someone who has ever been around biden knows, he's a very touchy, feely, affectionate guy. it happens the two people felt very uncomfortable about it. so people are wrestling whether this is something they should speak out about. >> let me get your feeling about mayor pete buttigieg. he's raised $7 million in the quarter. that has impressed a lot of people. how do you explain he has managed to somehow break out early on in this crowd and get that kind of early fund-raising? >> also, if that momentum is going to last. >> i think there's just -- we always underestimate authenticity and just being normal. i think people are so tired of people being abnormal. here is a guy with a very impressive background, who is a great talker and just sort of connects in a people in a way other politicians aren't connecting right now. we look at different indicators online to see what spreads virally and we're seeing him get way more traction than other candidates. so it's real, at least for now. >> we're going to see you on "morning joe" in seconds. >> that does it for us on this tuesday
