Customers getting into fistfights. Tensions skyhigh. What the heck is going on up there . This morning, our candid conversation with Flight Attendants as the Summer Travel season kicks off. And miley mania. A huge crowd is here for one of the biggest superstars in the world. Miley cyrus has made her way from malibu to manhattan for a live concert today, friday, may 26th, 2017. From nbc news, this is today, with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Going to say right off the bat, if you have to be at work near rockefeller center, were sorry. We may have caused a bit of a traffic jam because of that woman right there. Our plaza is filled to capacity. An overflow crowd and maybe a little bit of traffic. Were going to have a great concert coming up later in the show. Lets start with politics and the overnight results in a closelywatched race in montana. An unexpected turn in the final hours. Greg gianforte won a seat in the house, a day after he was charged with assaulting a reporter. And during his victory speech, he apologized for his actions. Reporter good morning, matt and savannah. Prior to last night, gianfortes only Public Comment was a Statement Issued by his campaign, where they blame the bizarre incident on the reporter. Late last night, just minutes after the race was called in his favor, gianforte took a very different tone. Im not proud of what happened. I should not have responded in the way that i did. And for that, im sorry. And youre forgiven. Reporter a contrite gianforte, offering a public apology for the incident that threatened to derail his campaign in the 11th hour. I should not have treated that reporter that way. And for that, im sorry, mr. Ben jacobs. Reporter the hotly contested campaign between gene fianforte rob quist, landed the candidate in hot water. I tried to follow up one more time. Next thing, i went from vertical to horizontal. Im sick and tired of you guys. The last time you came here, you did the same thing. Get the hell out of here. Reporter gianfortes campaign offered a different version of the altercation saying, its unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist was seen. After he was charged with assault, Speaker Paul Ryan said gianforte should apologize but he would be welcome at the capitol. The alteration changed some perception of the candidate. But in the end, his supporters rallied behind him. His campaign taking in 100,000 the day after the incident. The earliest gianforte could be sworn in is june 6th when they come back from recess. He has to take care of business here in first. He has to appear in court on that assault charge. Garrett, thank you very much. That montana win is a win for the white house. But this morning, theres turmoil facing the trump administration. The president s soninlaw a ensenieand Senior Adviser is under scrutiny in the russia investigation. We start with peter alexander. Reporter Jared Kushner may be the closest adviser to the president , making him one of the most powerful people in this country. Now, the fbi is taking a closer look at kushner in its russia inquiry. That means the investigation now reaches right next to the president. This morning, the fbis russia probes expanding into the west wing. Jared kushner Senior Adviser and soninlaw to President Trump, now under fbi scrutiny. Multiple officials tell nbc news they believe kushner has significant information relevant to her russian inquiry. Hes the only Current White House official thats known to be under scrutiny in the probe. The fbi is investigating whether Trump Campaign associates coordinated with russia to interfere in the 2016 election. But its unclear precisely what about kushners activities has drawn the fbis interest. During the trump transition, kushner met with sergey kislyak. He had a separate meeting with a russian banker. Gorkov owns a Development Bank thats been under u. S. Sanctions since 2014. Although investigators are looking at kushner, they dont suspect him of a crime or intend to charge him. In a statement, they tell nbc news, mr. Kushner previously volunteered to share with congress what he knows ant these meets. He will do the same in connection with any other inquiry. Jared is a successful man in new york. Reporter putting the russian probe inside the white house and inside the president s family circle. Spoke to several white house officials overnight. Right now, the white house is not commenting. Instead, redirecting us to that statement from Jared Kushners lawyer. To be clear, u. S. Officials say that kushner is not a target of the investigation. Hes not accused of wrongdoing. Hes in a different category than the former campaign aides, Paul Manafort and michael flynn, who was National Security adviser before being ousted. Both men are considered subjects of the investigation. Matt and savannah . Peter alexander, thank you. Ari melber, good morning to you. To your trained legal ear, you hear suspect of a investigation target. To say under scrutiny is a vague term. What does it mean . It can be vague. It doesnt mean that authorities want to charge this person. It means this person has significant information about the issues under inquiry. Hes volunteered to talk to congress about anything he knows. Apparently he will do the same with the fbi. If youre Jared Kushner, how does finding out about this change your daytoday life . And if youre the president and he is your trusted adviser, how does it impact your daily interactions with him . Its not good for the white house because they have repeatedly said that there is no there there. The president challenging the entire legitimacy of this inquiry. This is an independent group of factfinders. Saying theres something they want to talk to him about. His lawyer put out a statement saying they havent been contacted yet. Thats the implication. But daytoday, he has to think about his role and anything involving russia. Can the president share any information with him during this period . Or does he have to be careful . They are witnesses and maybe more to a whole set of potential activities. Whether that includes diplomacy, which is perfectly legal. Or includes questions around current or former aides did anything financially questionable or otherwise. They have to be extra careful. They have to keep running the country at the same time. Ultimately, this is a white house that has tried to sweep this under the rug. This news suggests, this story is alive. And the fbi is looking closely. Ari, thank you very much. As for the president , hes on the final leg of his first overseas trip. The g7 in sicily. He enters it off of fresh confrontations of a nato meeting with some of the leaders he is facing today. Kristen welker is traveling with the president. Good morning to you. Reporter this morning, President Trump in diplomatic damage control. As the g7 summit gets under way. The president s facing fallout from thursdays nato summit. This morning, der spiegel reporting that the president slashed out saying, the germans are bad, very bad. Look at the millions of cars they are selling in the u. S. , terrible, according to participants there. This morning, President Trump, standing next to the german leader, during the group photo, as the white house weighed in. Not confirming the language cited in the report but acknowledging to nbc news, the president voiced his frustration that germany is taking advantage of the u. S. Still this morning, the president of the European Union commission saying the story isnt true. And President Trump ignoring a question about it. But it wasnt just those sharp words. The president s actions were also on center stage. A long hand shake with the newly effected french president. And then this, the push scene around the world. When trump appeared to push the newest leader. A washington official saying the president uwas moving to his assigned spot. And mr. Trump raised eyebrows by scolding the nato leaders. 5 of 28 meeting their financial requirements. This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the united states. Reporter and the president s top economic adviser stressing this morning the president doesnt have a problem with germany. But rather, how the country has handled trade. Trade will be at the top of the agenda today, as well as defense. And climate with the president weighing whether to pull out of the International Paris climate agreement, a move that would be highly controversial. Matt . Savannah . Kristen welker with the president. Thanks. Breaking news out of egypt this morning. Officials say at least 24 people were killed and 27 others wounded after gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying christians. This happened as the bus was traveling to a monetary. Nobody has claimed responsibility for in a attack. Theres developments in the attack of a pop cancer in manchester, england. Were seeing new video of the suspected bomber. Bill neely has more from manchester. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, matt. One more arrest here this morning. The police are calling them all significant. And the police have resumed intelligence cooperation with u. S. Intelligence agencies after that row over leaked photographs. The emotions here, still very raw. And the fears here, still very real. Its an unrelenting manhunt. A race to stop another attack. More raids this morning. One more arrest. And for the first time in britain, armed Police Patrolling trains ahead of a Holiday Weekend. The threat level at its highest. Hospitals warned to prepare for another attack. The bomber, salman abedi is dead. This is the first video of the killer, filmed by neighbors outside his home. But he had accomplices, and enough chemicals to make more bombs. His victims have been identified. So many, so young, so many dreams that died in an instant. 15yearold megan hurley the last to be named. And this was a bikers memorial, for their hometown girl who never made it home. 15yearold olivia campbells mother, overcome by tears, surrounded by love. One tiny English Village remembered their two girls who died in the bombing. Two other girls who survived that night, lost in their embrace. All the victims were remembered in a minute of silence, a country standing still and still shocked by the killing of the young. And they are still remembered here. U. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson said he will pay his own tribute here in britain, in a few minutes time, standing silent, signing a book of condolence. Just another gesture like all these flowers of sympathy and of solidarity. Matt and savannah . Bill neely alongside a growing memorial in manchester, england. Thank you very much. If you plan to travel this weekend, you are far from alone. It will be the busiest since 2005. Try not to stress, though. No matter where youre going or how youre getting there, craig melvin is on the roads. Kerry sanders is on the airports. And dylan is at the busy theme parks. Lets start with craig. 34 million americans on the roads this weekend. How is it looking where you are . Reporter we are in a traffic jam. Were traveling north here. North on 95 heading into the city. Its difficult to tell whether this is routine friday morning traffic heading into the city or this is memorial day traffic. You mentioned the highest number of folks on the road since 2005. Roughly 88 of those people will be in a car. We wanted to give you a little help this morning. Theres a number of apps out there that can help you out. This is one of my favorites. I can show you here. This is waze. Most of you are probably familiar with waze, the crowdsourcing app. If you look closely, not only does it show you where the traffic is, it will show you how long you can expect to be in that traffic. And, look. We just got a notification there, Police Officer about a halfmile away, gives you those gives you those along the way, as well. Glimpses is another great app. Can let people know when youre going to arrive. Free, simple, realtime location, using gps. Gas buddy gives you the closest gas prices. And around me, another great app, as well. Savannah and matt . Thank you. Traffic at the airport going to be heavy, as well. 3 Million People flying in the coming days. Kerry sanders is at terminal 1 at ft. Lauderdale airport. Kerry, are they ready for the influx . Reporter well, they are. But if youre a traveler, you probably travel like this. Youve got a backpack. Well, ft. Lauderdale is one of ten cities let me show you the list of the ten cities here because if youre traveling in or out one of the ten cities, you need to recognize things will be different at security. We come back and you have your bag. Typically, you go through security, you take out of your bag, your computer and thats it. But in the ten cities, theyve added some issues that will make it just that much slower. First of all, if you have books, you need to take your summer reads out and take those out. Say you have some food in there, turns out, you need to take your food out, as well. In other words, youre basically emptying your bag. When you add that up from person to person to person, you see theres going to be a delay. You can look online at tsa. Gov and see how long the lines are going to be so you have an idea. Always get to the airport early on a busy travel like today. We look at the misery map from flight aware, theres 113 delays, 24 cancellations. Already, were starting out on a day that looks like its going to be frustrating for travelers. Is that fabio on the cover of your summer book there . Just curious. I know who wrote this book. This is my wifes book. Hes doing young adult reading, as well. Lets go north of where kerry is. Were going to orlando where the Holiday Weekend has a very popular destination. Dylan at universal studios. And all of the parks there will be busy this weekend. They certainly are. Usually im the one sitting in traffic. This year, i got to come to orlando, florida, and talk amusement parks. This is one of the Top Destinations this memorial day weekend. You have a lot of the theme parks opening up new attractions, taking advantage of the crowds. Universal studios, has opened up volcano bay, a 30acre theme park here. Disney world will open up pandora, a collaboration to bring the world of avatar to life. Six flags tends to debut their newest attractions this time of the year because theyre taking advantage of the crowds. If everyones going to the amuse m parks, how do you beat the crowds . Get here early. Try to get on the rides before the crowds get too big. Also, start at the back of the park. Most people tend to go on the first rides they see. And check for holiday hours. A lot of extended hours for memorial day weekend. You can stay later when everybody thinks they have to get out of the park. And remember that memorial day is about the military. If youre part of a military family, chances are you will get discounts at the theme parks, as well. Guys . Dylan, thank you. Mr. Roker, big question, whats the weather going to be like .
