Wind chill alerts are in effect in nearly half of the U.S. population as a “once-in-a-generation” winter storm threatens to bring ice, wind, snow and life-threatening temperatures across the country. President Biden is urging Americans to take the storm “extremely seriously” and “heed the local warnings.” Meteorologist Derek Van Dam tells AC360 what people can expect as the storm heads to the East Coast just days before Christmas.

Plus, the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol still hasn’t released their full report that was expected to be made public yesterday but they have published some interview transcripts from key witnesses. One transcript reveals that then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told his aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, that former President Trump knew he lost the 2020 election but wanted to keep fighting to overturn the results. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Elie Honig joins AC360 to discuss what Hutchinson told the committee.
