Officials tell nbc news that briefing materials for trump and obama contained information about potentially damaging but unverified allegations that russia has compromisi compromising information on mr. Trump. Originally circulating among his opponents at republican primary but passed on to u. S. Intelligence agencies. Investigating but enough to lash out at buzzfeed and cnn. Go ahead not you. Can you give us a chance . Youre attacking our news organization, can you give us a chance as far as buzzfeed, a failing pile of garbage, i think theyll suffer the consequences, already are. As far as cnn going out of their way to build up it mr. Trumps outrage overshadowed the reason for todays News Conference, supposed to outline plans to prevent conflicts with vast business holdings. President elect announced he will turn over control of the company to his two adult sons. Don and eric will be running the company. Theyre going to be running it in a very professna not going to discuss it with me. But ethics watchdogs have been urging him to create a blind trust or fully divest from holdings as other president s have done. Donald trump refused to do it so.

Of course need to be bipartisan. We have a little bit of everything for everybody. How are you going to keep them apart . Hopefully all be nice and enjoy themselves but we have two sets of elevators, you can choose your side. Hotel is small. All on four floors. Two president ial suites. Same amenities. Chocolate. Champagne. Look at enough for two parties. Some guests may rather stay here and watch it all on tv. Or saturdays marchers might use it to warm up after a cold day on the hill but the night in between theyre hoping everyone will end up here. Theyve made drink suggestions for both sides and they have some special cocktails as well. Came up with two cocktails to have both sides be happy. I guarantee be marching like youve never marched before. And other side a little bit difficult because president elect trump is not a huge fan of alcohol so went okay, play on his heritage, his history. One of the great cocktails is a manhattan. Says champagne should make everyone happy, quoting winston churchill, in victory you need it in defeat you deserve it. Whatever side you voted for make everything better. Heres to america. Well the Rosewood Hotel still has one of the two president ial suites available. Wouldnt tell me who is in the one already taken and drinking champagne because they need it or because they deserve it. I thought that was good. Do you know or can you say . I think its negotiable.

Went around the news room and had people memories. Take a look. Vance, if theres one word that describes you, cool. The world could come to an end and vance is right there, keeping it cool. The one gift that i would get vance for his birthday would be a personal assistant. Vance, one word to describe you, swag, work, life you make it all look good. One thing to get you would be a harley trip you and all your boys. One word to describe jim vance is original. No one like him and never will be. Favorite memorable moment, model fail, she fell and vance and George Michael lost it, still a smile to my face. Happy 75th. My one wor vance is lucky because every day all these years you get to be jim vance and we all know thats got to be interesting. Happy birthday.

Hard to answer, sitting next to the guy for 27 going on 28 years. Theyre all my favorite moments. Happy 75th birthday. Its been an honer to get to work alongside you. And mine to work with you. This is awfully embarrassing but also immensely gratifying. What a privilege it is to work with the cast and crew of these characters here. I have things i could say about each of those people that luckily for them we dont. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. And still laugh every time you see that model on the wobbly shoes just as hard as in the video. Every time. All right. Amelia is back with check on our weather. Going to be tracking showers until about midnight tonight. So folks leaving the caps game will be dry as game is wrapping up. Throughout the day tomorrow its mild. Almost ten degrees warmer than today. Look at radar right now, just about everyone is seeing rain. Filled in beltway, all the counties further back to the west as well. And continuing to track the showers this evening. Steady soaking rain out there. Well above freezing, just wet roads. Dry in marts of surrounds but moving into those areas as well. Look at tomorrow, high around 65 degrees, more clouds than sun, mild but breezy throughout the day from start to finish but breeze out there pumping warmer air in from the south. Thats good thing. Jumping to sunday at 5 00 a. M. , with a warning, not exactly whats going to happen but give you idea what were seeing right now. Looks like snow showers first move into the area. Future weather wants to keep them around through the morning and midday, i think see a changeover to sleet and freezing rain throughout the day. Bottom line if you have travel plans on saturday start coming up with plan b, try to leave earlier friday or push it until sunday. Notice friday, 55, but thats afternoon in the 40s and then on saturday only low it mid30s, sunday most of the day is dry but evening rain showers and maybe freezing rain moves back into the area. Near 40. Mlk day looking mainly dry and tuesday and wednesday back to the 50s and 60s. Sports coming up. Caps on a role. And Alex Ovechkin about to make history. Robert ive always had high blood pressure. But now i was getting these terrible headaches. And i was tired literally all the time. Something wasnt right. Most people dont find out they have Chronic Kidney Disease until it is very advanced. In fact, my friend ron paul was one of those affected. But a simple test can help save your life. Talk to your doctor or contact the gw ron and Joy Paul Kidney Center to find out how you can get tested. Before you find out that way, find out this way. Carol is at Verizon Center where ove has potentially a big night. Got to get you back. I will come, not tonight. But game one of round two. Get you back. Youre magic. Caps have the longest winning streak in the nhl right now. Consix straight games and penns five but Alex Ovechkin is one point away from 1,000 in his career. He was with the one point, become only the 84th player to reach that and first since the lockout. Video tribute im told is on standby, ove hoping to reach this milestone tonight. Big number. I would say a chance to get home from the fans and family. Going to be a big moment. Consistently every year it seems like, reaches that 50 goal plateau or mark. Its amazing. Amazing what hes able to do night in and out. Alex other night said milestones like this just means hes getting old. Gray hair, so maybe thats one reason. Hair maybe. Reporter you can tell the players dont read people magazine, gray hair is all the rage right now. Ove just 31 years old and four months older than sean mcvay who is interviewing to become the youngest head cac history. Reportedly a lead candidate for the l. A. Rams job. Been with the redskins since 2010, wined and dined out in l. A. Apparently, called out for second interview and dinner with the team owner. No decision yet because the rams want to talk to the Texans Mike Grable and mike shanahan, currently coaching in the playoffs right now. Redskins interviewing gus bradley for defensive kooshder position. Just fired as jaguars head coach but lot of success as coordinator of the seahawks. Back to the caps. Alex ovechkin is superstar not just in d. C. But at todays morning skate. 19yearold ovie superfan traveled a long way from British Columbia held up a sign and after the skate comes over to give her a big hug. Smiling from eartoear and he signs her jersey. Even though she brought the sign didnt imagine he would come over. Didnt believe there was a chance. Cant believe it happened. Pretty good. Crazy. And personality. I have a public out there. So always smiling and happy with fans. Cant think right now. Reporter and we hope sarah leaves after the game with big smile after a caps win and possibly seeing him reach another drop at 8 00 p. M. And did you get the hats we left for you . Theyre going on sale tonight and all proceeds as we reported last year this is the new season all proceeds go to Tragedy Assistance Program for survivors. Good cap wear it proudly.

Thats how we roll up in here. Thats as ceo of exxonmobile. Rex tillerson put exxons interests before americas im not here to represent the us governments interest. Instead, tillerson sided with putin. With billions in russian oil deals. He opposed us sanctions on russia. For war crimes forced to pay hundreds of millions for toxic pollution. Putting profits ahead of our kids health. Tell your senators to reject Rex Tillerson. And protect american interests not corporate interests.
