While Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders hit facetoface and the primary season officially comes to an end. Pulled. The california judge under fire for handling of the california Sexual Assault removed from the trial. Why prosecutors asked for the change today wednesday june 15, 2016. From nbc news this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1 a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Unfortunately, we start with more tragic news and unfortunately again out of orlando, florida. Unfathomably what is happening trying to be sorted through. A 2yearold boy wading in Shallow Water near disney worlds grand floridian resort when he was grabbed by an alligator. Authorities are searching for this 2yearold boy. What started out as a Family Vacation here quickly turned into horror, a father desperately trying to wrestle his son from the mouth of an alligator. A frantic search, 50 officers combing a man made lake for a 2yearold boy snatched while on vacation at disney world. The 2yearold male child has not been located. This is still a search and rescue operation. Just after 9 00 tuesday night police say the father and son from nebraska were on the edge of the lagoon when an alligator attacked the child sdprmpt when the father entered the water and tried to grab the child, was not successful in doing so. At some point im told the mother may have also entered the water. So the parents diligently tried to get the child. Reporter there have been at least 41 unprovoked major alligator attacks in florida since 2010. Everyone here at the Walt Disney World resort is devastated by this tragic accident. Reporter police say no such attack has been recorded at the lagoon before. We have an alligator trapper on the water. Reporter there were signs warning visitors not to swim in the lagoon. As a father and grand father we are going to hope for the best in these circumstances, but based upon my 35 years of Law Enforcement experience we know that we have some challenges ahead of us at this time. Reporter overnight authorities have taken four alligators out of that lake but have not yet found the boy. They say the child was playing in about a foot of water or so. Of course, the deadly massacre on sunday and now this. Gabe gutierrez, thank you very much. There is like a Swimming Pool area and then a sandy area. You not supposed to swim and there are signs posted there. It is absolutely shocking. We want to bring in spokesman for the sheriffs office. Our hearts go out to this family and what they must be going through right now. What have they been able to tell you about how this happened, what the circumstances were. It was just after 9 00 last night when we received emergency call from this area. This child was playing in Shallow Water. He heard what i understand was a splashing sound. He looked over and saw his son literally in the mouth of an alligator. He quickly moved towards the situation, tried to grab his child from the gators mouth. I believe he received some sort of laceration on his hand or arm and was not Strong Enough to pull the child out of the alligators mouth. Disney had a number of boats in the water at the time. Fish and wildlife brought boats into the area. Our boats were brought in. Dive team was brought out. At least 50 people came out here at some point last night to try to find and rescue this child. What we have is a rescue and recovery operation going on. Its just a tragic, tragic situation. Valuable, tobviously trying alligator and using sonar. Trying to use sonar to locate anything to give us some indication of what is down there. Hopefully today with bright florida sunshine and a larger boat out here we will get some sign of what is down there and hopefully be able to make a rescue or recovery at some point today. Is this an area that was known to have alligator sightings . Is this an area that alligators are known to be frequently in . There are no signs of any alligator nuisance in the past, no alligator attacks in the past so it appears this was a very isolated, freakish kind of incident. No sightings in the past. The parents of this little boy, i hope they are getting some sort of counseling and care. We have victim advocates and counselors with the family. They have been with them all night long and are going to stay with them. We have our top people here. My understanding from what i have been told is that they are shaken up as you can imagine. There are people with them right now and will remain with them. Thank you very much for taking time this morning. Appreciate it. Youre welcome. Officials in orlando dealing with another major investigation, the pulse nightclub massacre as nbc news first reported the gunmans wife told the fbi she once drove him to the club. We will begin our in depth coverage with stephanie gosk. Reporter this morning the wife of gunman omar mateen has not been charged with a crime and for now is said to be cooperating with the fbi. Together with their 3yearold son she and her husband are seen smiling in this facebook photo. Now the 30yearold ducks from cameras and media questions. Did you know your husband is a terrorist . Reporter mateens wife told investigators she knew about the plan even driving him to pulse nightclub at least once to scout the scene. She also claims she tried to talk her husband out of it and failed. She was born and raised in northern california. On tuesday fbi agents visited her familys home there. One neighbor said she had not seen the young woman in years. After she married and left i have no idea what kind of girl she is. All i know that she was a very good girl. Reporter in a conversation tuesday mateens father offered Little Information about his sons wife. He did reveal more about his sons state of mind saying mateen applied to Police Academy and was rejected. I worked very hard to put him in the Police Academy. Reporter the Florida Department said mateen filed a complaint saying he was turned away because he was muslim. Reports that mateen had been to pulse several times. His first wife was asked if she felt he had gay tendencies. Im not going to lie, i questioned it in my head when i was with him. Reporter federal authorities are trying to piece together what led mateen to gun down club goers early sunday morning showing little emotion and no mercy. Patience carter and her friends. I could see my best friend on the floor and looking lifeless. I was like i dont think im going to get out of here. Reporter in a bizarre twist, blood Bank Confirms omar mateen donated blood on may 29. In the first 24 hours after the shooting in orlando there was an urgent cry for blood donations. Thank you very much. Lets bring in Pete Williams, more information on the investigation. I am not a lawyer so i need you to help me with the legal criteria here. If you are with someone who tells you they have plans to commit a crime like this, if you take them to the spot where they are in some ways casing the scene or the target, if you are with them when they buy ammunition does that qualify you as an accessory to the crime . Perhaps not an accessory but she could be charged. I would be surprised if she is not. According to officials here is what she told the fbi, she drove him to the pulse nightclub at least once maybe more because he wanted to check it out. She tried to talk him out of terror attack. Here is new information. We are told that on saturday night the night of the shooting when he left the house he told her he was going to go visit friends. She told the fbi that she feared he was going to go shoot people at the pulse nightclub. Even though she had that fear she never called the police to warn them. The fbi isnt sure whether what she is telling them is true, whether she did try to talk him out of it. She could face charges and here is why. Under federal law it is illegal when someone fails to tell the police that a crime has been committed. In this case the crime would be mateens planning to attack the nightclub and his preparations to carry out in essence attempted murder. The planning and knowing about the crime of planning. I guess the question for investigators is not just whether they should charge her but when. It sounds like she is still talking and cooperating. That is a big concern and that is why they say they are in no rush because on the one hand she has the potential liability herself. On the other hand she has the best information about him, she is the closest person to him. It is the decision about when to charge. Even if federal authorities decide not to charge, the state could certainly bring charges by itself. Pete, real quickly, does she have any cover in the story from the exwife about how he was an abusive husband, controlling husband. Can she go to authorities and say i feared for my life and safety if i crossed him in any way . I havent heard that she has said that. I suppose that would be something that would help in her defense if there were ever a trial y. Dont think that would stop authorities from bringing charges if they are going to do it. They have to decide whether her story is true and check it out and decide whether to file charges. Thank you very much. Now to another aspect of this tragedy, the political story. Donald trump pushing back hard against president obama and Hillary Clinton after they criticized his rhetoric in response to the shooting. Peter alexander following that part of the story. Reporter following comments after orlando, Donald Trumps really increasingly becoming a man on a political island facing a fierce round of coordinated attacks from president obama and Hillary Clinton but finding fewer and fewer defenders even within his own party who have his back. A fiery president obama delivering an unprecedented rebuke of the republican nominee. Where does it stop . Reporter attacking donald trump. We dont have religious tests here. I watched president obama today and he was more angry at me than he was at the shooter. Reporter trump defiant tuesday night still implying the president is sympathetic with terrorists including the suspected orlando shooter. Thats the kind of anger he should have with the shooter and killers that shouldnt be here. Reporter hours earlier telling the ap the president continues to prioritize our enemies over our allies and for that matter the american people. Trump teeing off on Hillary Clinton. She plays the woman card more than any human being i have seen and frankly i dont think women like her from everything i see. Reporter clinton joining the president in an attack on trump. What donald trump is saying is shameful. Reporter the two democrats echoing one another tearing into trumps insistence they use the words radical islam. Is donald trump suggesting that there are magic words that once uttered will stop terrorists from coming after us. Reporter president obama trying to turn trumps rhetoric against gop. Do republican officials agree with this . That is not the america we want. Reporter growing unease with trumps response to the orlando massacre. I continue to be discouraged by the direction of the campaign and comments that are made. Reporter the House Speaker and Senate Majority leader ducking new questions. Im not going to spend my time commenting the ups and downs and in betweens by the comments. Im not going commenting on the president ial candidate today. Reporter this morning a new poll shows major decline for donald trump trailing Hillary Clinton nationally by double digits 49 to 37 . Thats not even the worse part for trump. An overwhelming 55 of those polled say they could never vote for trump as well as 63 of women say that they could never support him. Peter alexander, on the politics, thank you. We are joined by Nicole Wallace and mark halpern. We have Hillary Clinton and barack obama going after donald trump. How important, how effective do you think this strategy is going to be . Big and effective because in part what president obama said yesterday most republicans would quietly agree with. Not only is donald trump being doubleteamed but doesnt have a posse to protect himself against some of these more charges of both president obama and Hillary Clinton. You are starting to see the chickens coming home to roost in terms of what he said about the judge and perhaps orlando. Only one day of this poll would have captured what happened in orlando. What are republicans saying . I called a few republicans who have been through campaigns and they said they are surprised the numbers arent worst. The Trump Campaign is experiencing its low point. We talked during the primary no one clenched the nomination without near death experience. He is experiencing his near death political exercise in the general. The poll did say that he would be better on terrorism than Hillary Clinton would be. And certainly you see in campaigns in Current Media culture the impulse to say this is a disaster, he will never recover. This is a critical period for the campaign. Republicans across the country are looking for him to turn things around not in a few days but today quick. Any reporting on the discussion between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in that hotel last night . What did sanders want . He knows that he is at the end of the road but does want to use the tupt to try to change the Democratic Party in fundamental ways, how they pick nominees, what they stand for. I think the clinton folks are relieved that this is not the family fight that could divide the party right now. I think he had a lot more leverage two months ago when he could have gotten out and didnt. Now that you have Elizabeth Warren and president obama come to such strong and vibrant life in the fight against donald trump Bernie Sanders looks late to the party. Thank you both. Appreciate it. Lets swing it over to al. Unfortunately, we have what some National WeatherService Offices are calling possibility of a deadly heat wave. Already we have excessive heat watches and heat advisories for 25 Million People. Excessive heat watches for 18 Million People. It is going to be very rough this week. 97 in dallas. 37.
