1:15What he just told President Trump about that affair. Aviation accidents, a plane blown over in California by the blast from a jet engine, and the emergency landing on a busy road in Florida the moment police reach the pilot. Also breaking a suspected homicide aboard a cruise ship, a man carried out in handcuffs in Texas, and the FBI is now investigating.

This is NBC Nightly News with Tom Yawmas.

2:27And good evening. We thank you for being with us on this Monday night. We need to begin with those fast moving developments in Washington and the effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a House Republican and Trump critic filing the articles of impeachment today, accusing him of illegal actions in Iran, in Venezuela and in the Caribbean with those deadly strikes on alleged drug smugglers. President Trump late today defending his Pentagon chief in a surprise news conference in the briefing room And also reversing his headline making comments that just aired last night where he suggested he may soften his stance on immigration.

3:02Today, the president making clear he has no such plan. And after seeming to accept the results of the midterm election today, he's making unfounded claims that they may not be legit. Gabe Gutierrez is covering it all and starts us off from the White House. Tonight, Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth under fire. Republican Congressman Thomas Massey, an outspoken Trump critic who was defeated in a GOP primary, filing eight articles of impeachment. He has violated the norms of war, and it's to the disadvantage and the dishonor of our country. The charges include waging the Iran war despite no declaration of war by Congress, the unauthorized lethal military targeting of suspected drug traffickers, and kidnapping Venezuela's authoritarian leader, Nicolas Maduro.

3:47Hexeth today firing back. We know the world is a better and safer place as a result. And so if we want to litigate that, the success of those things, I'm happy to do it all day long. Tonight, the president saying he'll stand by Hexeth, even if he's impeached. Massey's a loser. What has Hexeth done? He won the war. He was in charge. He won the war in Venezuela. He's won the war in Iran, but he's certainly winning the war. Iran would love to make a deal. And they've been obliterated. After last week's midterms, top Democrats are also now saying they'll target Attorney General Todd Blanche and Health Secretary Robert F.

4:22Kennedy Jr. for investigations and impeachment. Tonight, President Trump questioning the election results, writing, does anybody really believe that this election was honest? How could the polls be so wrong? A sharp difference from what he said just last week. I think the Democrats did a good job. I really do. I think they did a good job. They fought hard. And this reversal on 60 Minutes, saying his mass deportation policy went too far. I think it might be too tough, yeah. And a lot of people would say that it's great, but a lot of people think it's too tough. An hour after the interview, though, he named Stephen Miller, the polarizing architect of his crackdown on illegal immigration, his new chief of staff.

5:02We have a very strong deportation policy. There's no amnesty, no anything. We keep that. But we focus on the worst of the worst. All right, Gabe joins us live. And Gabe, we also have a new headline tonight about the health of former President Biden. Yes, Tom, as he undergoes cancer treatment, he's now scaling back the book tour for his memoir, which is set to be released next week. Last year, Biden announced he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, and his son recently said it had spread to other parts of his body. Tom. Gabe Gutierrez at the White House for us. Gabe, thank you.

5:37We have new developments today on those alarming revelations that the CEO of one of America's top tech companies was having an affair with a woman U.S. intelligence believes is a spy for China. Late today, President Trump revealed what NVIDIA's Jensen Huang just told him about that woman. Here's Brian Chung. Tonight, that shocking spy scandal sinking the stock of the world's most valuable AI chipmaker. Shares of NVIDIA dropping 4%, erasing almost$200 billion in value. Following the stunning admission from CEO Jensen Huang that he had a romantic affair with a woman U.S. intelligence agencies say is a spy for China, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

6:15With new concerns, it could have national security risks. President Trump tonight saying he spoke with Huang. I asked him that question. Did you have any idea that she was a spy? He said, I had no idea that she was a spy. And I really believe him. Huang admitting the affair to employees, writing, I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry. It concerns this woman, seen seated next to the NVIDIA CEO, Alice Huang, no relation to Jensen, is an executive at Megaspeed. You can see her there in the pink dress walking with Huang, at one point kissing him on the cheek.

6:52The New York Times reporting surveillance revealed she was feeding information to Chinese intelligence. There's no conflict between innovation, technology and safety. Huang, one of the wealthiest people in the world is a trusted tech advisor to President Trump. The president even brokering a deal with NVIDIA last year to sell some of its less advanced AI chips to China. The New York Times reporting that President Trump chose not to act after being briefed about a year ago about the potential of Chinese surveillance. You wish that you had acted on the intelligence when you were briefed about the spy last year?

7:23I think, you know, I think he's an honorable guy. I think he probably has an excuse for it. China calling the reports nothing but smears. All right, let's pick it up right there. Brian Chung joins us now live in studio. Brian, there's a real concern here about national security. Yeah, the NVIDIA board does say that there's no reason to believe that national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised as an NVIDIA spokesperson says that Jensen Huang remains committed to continuing to lead NVIDIA. By the way, the next time we might hear from Huang would be when the massive company reports their earnings.

7:52That's going to be next Tuesday. All eyes will be on that. All right, Brian, we thank you. We are following a string of troubling aviation incidents, including a close call at Los Angeles International Airport when one passenger plane made a sudden turn into the path of another. Here's Tom Costello. Close call at LAX. Air France, they were 2-8 heavy. Fly heading of 2-7-0 immediately. Heading 2-7-0 immediately. Controllers act fast after the FAA says a departing Air France flight mistakenly turned left into the path of a departing American Airlines flight early Saturday. The two planes coming within three to 400 feet of each other as controllers ordered each plane to turn away.

8:32Air France, they were too eight heavy. Why did you turn to a heading? They were too eight heavy. I need an answer, sir. Both planes continued on safely. Air France tells NBC News the crew immediately followed the controller instructions before continuing the flight. Further south in Orange County, look closely as a small Cessna gets blown over by the force of a larger plane ahead. They got blasted by the United 737 jet blast and then they flipped over. It happened at John Wayne Airport. Two people on board, no injuries. Meanwhile, a dramatic emergency landing in Fort Myers, Florida as another Cessna clipped the back of a pickup truck as it dodged traffic on a busy road.

9:13You okay? Sure? Shaken up? Did they check you out? The sheriff says the plane had a mechanical failure no other vehicles hit. The FAA is investigating all of the incidents. Controllers told those Air France pilots who made a bad left turn to telephone the investigating FAA office, not the call any pilot wants to make. Tom? Tom, thank you. We head to Texas now. The FBI is investigating a suspected homicide on board a popular cruise ship that docked in Galveston earlier today. Here's Liz Kreutz. Tonight, the FBI says it's investigating a suspected homicide on board a popular cruise ship. Video shows authorities taking a man off the ship in handcuffs.

9:57We are blurring his face because his identity has not been confirmed by law enforcement. According to the agency, the incident happened on the MSC Seascape, which tracking data shows had departed Galveston, Texas on Sunday for a seven-day trip to Mexico and Honduras. We came back to Galveston. There was an incident last night on the cruise ship. According to the cruise line, on reporting a guest incident aboard our ship, we were instructed by authorities to return to the port. Photos posted by passengers on social media show what appear to be investigators collecting potential evidence. Tonight, the FBI says a man is now in custody in connection with the alleged homicide.

10:36Authorities have not publicly identified a victim or said what they believe happened. The Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office confirms the person found dead aboard the ship is a woman. And a spokesperson for the cruise line says they are cooperating fully and providing support to those impacted. They say the ship has since left the port to resume its planned itinerary. Tom. Okay, Liz, thank you. There is a new alert tonight about those popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs. The FDA now mandating a warning label that the drugs may cause sudden blindness. Here's Stephanie Goss. Tonight, a new warning from the FDA.

11:13Patients taking GLP-1 weight loss drugs are facing a potential increased risk of the rare eye condition, NAION, which can lead to sudden permanent vision loss. The agency telling companies like Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, and Eli Lilly, the maker of Monjaro, to add information about the condition on their warning labels. Diane Wirth had to quit her job as a nurse practitioner, and now she can no longer read. She was on a GLP-1 for weight loss and lost vision in her right eye. It's been very challenging. Tonight, both companies say safety is their top priority. Lilly adding that today's decision by the FDA does not reference any findings specific to its medicines, while Novo Nordisk says it continues to believe the data do not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.

12:00A study by the American Academy of Ophthalmologists did not find evidence of a consistent overall increase in NAION risk in the available data, adding that more research needs to be done. But the European Medicines Agency concluded NAION is a very rare side effect. Warning labels on GLP-1s are already being used in the EU. In the U.S., more than 1 in 10 adults are currently taking GLP-1s. The overall health benefits of these drugs would likely far outweigh the very small increased risk of this very, very rare complication. The FDA telling patients to talk to their doctors if anything changes in their vision.

12:40Stephanie Gosk, NBC News. Now to Mississippi, we're outrages growing over a doorbell cam video showing women making racist gestures outside a black student's apartment. Ole Miss officials now investigating this. George Solis has this one. Tonight, two women captured on camera appear to make racially offensive gestures.

13:03As they pass by a black student's apartment in a community letter, the school says the women are Ole Miss students. The video shows three women walking by the off-campus apartment door when two of them begin beating their chest and grunting like apes. Tasha Bolton posted online that she's the mom of a freshman who lives inside that apartment with two black roommates. Bolton says the woman caught on camera were her daughter's upstairs neighbors. Adding the video is disgusting and demanded accountability. Students on campus also outraged. I'm just a person like everybody else, And it's very upsetting to think that maybe people are thinking other things while they're looking at me while I walk on campus.

13:43In 2024, a similar incident occurring. An Ole Miss fraternity kicking out a member after he appeared to make ape-like sounds towards a black woman during campus protests against the war in Gaza. In a statement, the University of Mississippi condemning the behavior in this latest incident. Also adding it is actively being investigated. A video now putting a spotlight on the state's history of racial tensions. George Solis, NBC News. When we return in 60 seconds, the e-bike explosion that sent a house up in flames, how everyone was able to get out alive. Plus, the two people on fire at a fraternity event at Ohio State, that fraternity now suspended, the story behind the video.

14:26And Russell Brand sentenced to more than a decade in prison with the judge in London said to him in court today. Stay with us. If you like YouTube, you'll love YouTube Premium.

The flames destroying the family's home. Andres Gutierrez has more on the terrifying moments.

16:16Caught on camera.

16:20Tonight, a wake-up call about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries. Inside this home near Portland, Oregon, an e-bike battery begins to smoke. Get away from it. Get away from it. Within seconds, fire sweeps through the living room. Emergency responders racing to the scene last week to battle the blaze. Outside, flames shooting from both floors of the two-story wood frame house as all six people run to escape. Oh my God. Fire officials say no one was hurt. It happened to Carrie Ann Paniche, a former reality star who says she lost everything. Gresham Fire Marshal Sean Durham says the lithium-ion battery had been charging for several hours.

16:59How much of a warning did they have? It wasn't very long. I believe it was about 30 seconds from the time they smelled it until the first pop. In Oregon alone, the state fire marshal says agencies have responded to more than 600 fires involving lithium-ion batteries between 2020 and 2025. Those incidents have been increasing an average of 19 % a year. Experts say families should never charge batteries while sleeping. We always recommend that things like e-bike, scooters, batteries are always charged outside. Even in a garage is better than inside the house. It gives those people a little more time to get out of the house.

17:46Andres Gutierrez, NBC News, Los Angeles. We're back in a moment with the mystery at the half marathon. Police investigating why dozens of runners fell sick. And drone to the rescue, the bananas that had to be flown into the chimpanzee sanctuary, cut off by floodwaters. If you like YouTube, you'll love YouTube Premium.

There is a growing mystery in Santa Barbara where police are investigating why more than two dozen half-marathon runners became ill this weekend. The police department receiving a report that multiple participants were, quote, seeking medical treatment for unusual symptoms.

19:5130 runners received medical treatment. The Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital scene participants came in with similar symptoms of an undetermined cause and that it's unclear whether it was due to heat or other factors. The British comedian and actor Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison following his conviction on rape and sexual assault charges in London. Brand has pled not guilty to all counts and denied the allegations, but today was called a sexual predator by the judge who delivered that sentence. Disturbing video from Ohio State University. It shows two men at a fraternity event seeming to wrestle while their pants are literally on fire.

20:28Watch as one man with his sweatpants on fire lunges at another who then also catches fire. Initial laughter from the crowd turns into panic and people rush in to help put those flames out. OSU says the individuals are receiving medical care right now, and that fraternity has been temporarily suspended. And take a look at this video from a Florida chimpanzee sanctuary. It had to deliver food to one of its apes by drone after heavy rainfall flooded that area. And look at this torrential rain cutting off the chimp enclosures until quick thinking by staff saved the day. The chimp named Caleb received bananas, peppers, and now says he wants his own Uber Eats account.
