on his body exploded prematurely. he's been taken to bellevue hospital here in new york with burns and lacerations on his hands and abdomen. and they said that he did pledge allegiance to isis in some form. in terms of those who were injured, we know four people have been taken to area hospitals with minor injuries and many of the injuries were consistent with being within the radius of an explosion. that means headaches and ringing ears. mayor bill de blasio as well as governor andrew cuomo did give a press con streference today. and this is what bill de blasio said many are trying to do to new yorkers, instill fear. back to you. and women who publicly accused president trump of sexual misconduct are coming together for the first time today to recount their experiences. and comments from the u.s. ambassador to the united nations are also drawing attention. nbc's kristen welker is at the white house with more on this. hey, kristen, good morning.

>> reporter: hi, hoda. good morning to you. the #metoo movement is becoming a problem for the white house. three women have called for an investigation into president trump. this all happening during a news conference unfolding this morning. at least a dozen women made accusations against the president. they alleged that he harassed and sexually assaulted them prior to 2016. the allegations came to light after the "access hollywood" tape came to surface when mr. trump was caught on a hot mike making lewd comments about women. the president consistently denied all the accusations against him. the u.n. ambassador nikki haley seemed to break with the official line here when she said this about the president's accusers over the weekend. >> they should be heard and they should be dealt with. and i think we have heard from them prior to the election. and i think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up. >> reporter: white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders said the president addressed the

accusations during the campaign. and the white house has no changes to his comments. now, for his part, president trump will try to keep the focus on tax reform today. hoda, savannah? >> kristen, thank you so much. 8:04. time for the morning boost. >> yay! all right, a couple years ago olympic gymnast simone biles tweeted in her next life she wanted to be an nfl cheerleader. biles was invited to join the houston texans in the game against the 49ers. turns out she took it seriously and worked out with them all week, but she was not just hanging out with the football players and cheerleaders at the game. check it out, she also met the houston rockets great, hakim a olajawon. you may remember this photo of simone biles.
