President trump is declaring war on his fired adviser steve bannon after explosive new leaks. Bannon criticizes the president and his family. Nbc obtained an advanced copy of the book written by michael wolff. He writes that bannon calls the meeting in june 2017 as treasonous and unpatriotic. Wolff writes that the president insisted that the meeting was purchase purely and simply about russian adoption policy even though there was already an incriminating email chain. The russian government offered to provide dirt on Hillary Clinton and trump jr. Responded by saying, if its what you say, i love it. And there is a concern about the inner workings of the white house. Theres also a lot of political gossip in there. Blayne alexander has been pouring through it all and joins us with more. Juicy stuff in there . Reporter youre absolutely right. That was a mustread book all day today. The book came from more than 200 accounts from different people close to the president but it was words from one of the closest, steve bannon, thats really drawing the anger from President Trump. It is all out war between President Trump and his onetime righthand man steve bannon. Curious, disgusted would probably fit when you make such outrageous claims and false claims against the president , his administration and his family. Reporter the white house trying to discredit an explosive new book in which bannon rips into the president s son donald jr. And Jared Kushner calling the now Infamous Trump meeting treasonous and unpatriotic. Robert mueller may not be pursing collusion charges. He thinks mueller will go after trump on the issue of money laundering. Reporter President Trump hitting back hard, a clearly angry statement from the white House Reading in part, when steve bannon was fired, he lost not only his job, he lost his mind. If anybodys been inconsistent, its been him. It certainly hasnt been the president or the administration. Reporter in a shocking reversal, bannon, once one of the president s most vocal cheerleaders, defended the legitimacy of the russia investigation long dismissed by saying that they are going to crack don jr. Like an egg on national tv. I think the degree of risk that trump is at for mueller is that flynn has fled and now bannon has said certain things on the record. Reporter the book paints an unflattering picture on election night, that he did not want to win and was shocked when he did. Many describe the chaotic nature inside of the white house. One memo supposedly coming from a senior memo inside that white house describing President Trump as someone who will not read anything, he has a short Attention Span and described his soninlaw and adviser Jared Kushner as a baby. Blayne alexander, thank you. Two in direct senators were sworn in today. Doug jones takes over a seat in alabama after moore last month. Vice President Joe Biden was on hand.

Thank you, pat collins reporting. Back to our weather now and the Winter Weather headed right for us. Were doubling up with Team Coverage. Doug and amelia, take it away. Any time you see two of us weve noticed. If theres three of us here, youve got some real issues. Then were talking about a hurricane probably. This is going to be impactful on two sets. The snow first and then the cold air that comes in. And speaking of hurricanes, this is a hurricane of sorts, a winter hurricane without the rain. Were seeing snow, sleet, up and down the east coast. Thats why this is such a big storm. Sheena will talk more about that. Im talking about your cold temperatures now and the snow thats coming in overnight tonight. 32 degrees and winds out of the southeast at 8 miles per everybody at or below freezing, we briefly get above freezing but were back below freezing now and the roads have been so cold. Anything that is going to fall is going to stick immediately. Frederick county, maryland, parts of southern fauquier, Loudoun County and points to the south and east. You may only get a coating in some of these areas if that but even a coating of snow is about to produce slick roadways. Winter storm warning in effect for parts of the eastern shore. Snow and wind. 50mileperhour winds early tomorrow morning. Look at this. Blizzard warnings all the way up towards maine and towards charleston, South Carolina. Thats how big this storm system is and it continues to develop. Its really what is called i coast. What does that mean . Amelia has more on that. We figured today, since everybody is talking about it why not explain what it means. First, ill give you the scientific term. You may be saying, i dont know what that is and i need a simplified explanation. Take a look. The technical definition a meteorologist uses is when a cyclone, an area of low pressure, drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. So this is a really intense system. Speaking of just putting bomboagain sbomb bombogenesis, it means a rapidly developing storm. Why not give you more weather it sends dangerously cold air down into our area and it moves in friday morning and we see some School Delays likely tomorrow and even cancellations. I really think well see more widespread cancellations because of how cold itsc going to be. First we have to deal with some snow. Exactly. The snow is moving into up and across our region. Notice, between 1 00 and 5 00, snowing from d. C. Down to the south and east and also notice that incredibly sharp line. We call that a gradient between leesburg and d. C. Snowing in d. C. , nothing in leesburg and coming down pretty good out there towards the Chesapeake Bay and then just about everybody getting rid of the snow about 8 00, 9 00 tomorrow before the cold air and the wind come back in. Who is going to get what . A very tight towards the dulles area, towards d. C. And close to about half an inch or an inch in those locations. One to two inches in parts of Southern Maryland. Two to four in southern portions of Southern Maryland and then four to eight inches out there towards ocean city. Could be even more than that. Thats something well continue to watch for you. The next couple of days, extreme cold. Tomorrow, friday and saturday, weather alert each of those days. Frigid weather highs, only in the teens and next monday, that could be a weather alert day, too, as we deal with a chance of ice associated with another storm system moving our way. Lots to talk about but right now its the next 7 it hou2 hours wt to worry about. Thank you, doug and amelia. A potential roadside danger.
