275 previously released to secret documents have been released now and while much of what is in them has been known before, they do contain some new details about an old accusation against prince andrew in an effort to depose former president bill clinton. this morning newly unsealed court records reinforce the association presidents even the king of pop with the jeffrey epstein. sex offender who killed himself in a new york city jail while awaiting trial. the documents were a part of a defamation lawsuit, one of epstein's victims filed against his former paramore. they include documents by the lawyer saw testimony from former president bill clinton calling him a key person who can provide information about his close relationship with maxwell and mr. epstein. ever accuse clinton of wrongdoing, but claimed she had dinner with him on the private caribbean island, and called that ally while the documents shared the attorney each and every part of the claims

regarding president clinton has been personally proven false. clinton was never deposed. after epstein's arrest, the spokespersons at night clinton was ever on the island. after the allegations were public, it also shows they seemingly offered advice, you can issue a reward to any of those friends, acquaintances, family to prove her allegations false. the strongest is a clinton dinner. -- as she described in a 2019 interview with the "miami herald." >> the training starting immediately. how to be quiet, be subservient, give jeffrey what he wants. a lot of this training came fr from -- >> ordering her to have on three occasions with prince andrew, and could not recall meeting her, and said the bbc, this photo of the two of them could be fake. >> had not seen in my memory.

>> andrew settled a lawsuit in 2022, and includes testimony from johanna schoenberg, one of the accusers who said she was seated next to the mansion when andrew groped her breast. but asked if there was any truth about the knowledge of having sex with prince andrew, she said no, only based on what i have heard in the media. she said she met michael jackson in epstein's house and palm beach, and when she was asked, did you ever massage donald trump? she responded no. there are more documents to come later today, do phrase lawyer has said that the public has brightly defended to know how epstein operated his vast global sex trafficking enterprise and got away with it for so long. >> our chief legal analyst, key settlement in 2017. >> long-standing legal fight over whether these names should

be released. a lot of this information has been out, right? the question is who's who in connection with the information. typically legal documents are public, right? the presumption is when you file something in a court of law it's public, there are exceptions when it comes to cases involving children or sexual assault. this had a little bit of all of this. and there are been legal battles where the judge basically said to any of the people identified if you want to challenge your name being made public, tell me why. you can challenge it, 16 people did that, some of them were successful, others were not, but the judge gave everyone an opportunity to say a want to keep my name out of this, but you have to have a reason for it. >> not everyone fought it. >> which is interesting. for a lot of the hypo profile people there was a cost-benefit analysis, this will probably be public anyway, maybe i will lose this anyway, is it really worth my being seen as having fought

it if it's going to be made public anyway? >> that make some sense. finally, do you think there any chance that charges could come from this? >> i think it's unlikely. there's a lot of "new information" coming out, it's not new to the authorities, it's new to the public. we are seeing the names behind what is alleged here, but the people involved, the lawyers involved, the authorities have all known this information. it's just that the public is learning for the first time some of the names behind the various things that are alleged to have happened in connection with the civil lawsuit. that have been long time ago. >> all right, thank you, george, we will turn to the latest on a winter storm sweeping through the nation with ten states under snow and in alerts right now. here with the truck and the timing. good morning, ginger. >> the power of michael straight man who did not want snow might be working, because it's looking warmer, faster, and i will get

to that. it did snow 15 inches, mountain pass california this is here in arvada -- sierra nevada. getting a little bit closer to normal, look at what will happen here, the storm is in the southern rockies and they have new alerts back in california next door, but as it's twisting around you can see above 8,000 feet, 8-12 inches in new mexico, a couple of inches for the planes like the panhandle of texas where it slides across and for new orleans it's heavy great, strong wind. talking damages in recent tornadoes, that's friday afternoon. then on saturday it starts off and appalachia. i said it starts fast, look at ohio getting snow. that saturday at 8:00 a.m. a blast through. we may start with a little bit of snow here in new york city down to philadelphia, but it transitions terrain. the ocean is so warm, 5 degrees above normal, so most of that heavy snow has been staying in the pink. and looking at albany, the poconos, and could end up on

saturday night. so lindsay, i know that your son once a snow day. first of all, timing does not work out, but it might not happen. >> we will prepare him now. ginger, thank you. now to the battle of the border, house speaker johnson called on president biden to take action with the record number of migrants crossing, more in eagle pass, texas, good morning matt. >> good morning, lindsay. this national bridge behind me reopened now for the first time in weeks, but the political battle is just getting started. this morning the department of justice is suing the state of texas. attempting to block a tough new immigration law from taking effect this march. it would give state officials the right to detain and deport migrants suspected of entering the state illegally. but the doj says only the federal government has that right calling the texas law unconstitutional. republican governor gary gavitt

firing back online saying "i like my chances texas is the only government in america trying to stop illegal immigration." as several key border crossings are reopened in california to south texas after number of crossings prompting federal officials to close four different ports of entry. numbers of daily migrant encounters alone in recent days but the overall picture is unprecedented. sources telling abc news more than 302,000 migrants encounters were registered last month, the highest ever number. >> one thing is absolutely true, america is at a breaking point with the record levels of illegal immigration. >> house speaker mike johnson leading a delegation of 64 house republicans to eagle pass texas yesterday, the new year's resolution demanding pepper border secure policies laying out what the bill did last year. >> this is the necessary

ingredients, why? because it has provisions that fitch fix each of the problems. >> calling the trip of political sensing house republicans have rejected requests for more funding at the border multiple times. >> republicans have said without new border security measures they will not support funding for ukraine, israel, or the border itself, negotiating once again today for the framework for a deal. >> okay, rereleased with donald trump, asking the supreme court to keep them on the ballot in colorado i think he faces challenges to his own ability to run for office in multiple states. no tracking from the side of the first republican contest, good morning, rachel. >> george, we are just 11 days out from the caucus, and donald trump's focus on something we have never seen before in american history. asking the supreme court to stop a move to kick him off the primary ballot in colorado because of his actions on january 6th. this morning the supreme court

is weighing whether to take donald trump's appeal in an unprecedented case that could decide whether trump stays on the ballot in colorado. it comes just days after a lower court disqualified the former president boris actions on january 6th. pointing to the 14th amendment which bans any officer of the united states with sworn oath to the constitution and engaged in insurrection from holding off office. >> donald trump engaged in an insurrection against the constitution and therefore under the constitution he could not be again. speak about terms lawyers saying january 6 was not insurrection and he did not engage in insurrection. the caucus is now just 11 days away. >> i know the momentum and i owe outcome, the momentum in new hampshire, they want something different. >> florida governor rhonda santos asked by one voter why he isn't going after him harder. >> by have you not gone after that?

>> i mean, working? >> let's get up on the stage. >> there a clear contrasts, and simply i deliver. >> that voter, not impressed. >> are you satisfied by his answer? >> not at all. not at all. he skipped over it. he just -- typical political answer. >> nikki haley and florida governor rhonda santos are neck and neck for second place here and iowa, trying to downplay allegations looking for a stronger finish in new hampshire. as for the appeal, it's unclear where those supreme court will go on the shortage. >> we do know he is facing other action and will reach a conclusion.

looking at the defamation case. >> george, not only that, but sources tell us the former president is expected to be in a federal courthouse next week on that case centered around why he tried to subvert the 2020 election. all this comes as he is still maintaining a commanding lead in the polls as he faces 91 criminal charges, george. >> all right, george, thank you. we will go overseas to the deadly bombings in iran that killed nearly 100 people at a memorial event for a top general our chief global affairs correspondent is tracking this from israel. good morning. >> good morning, my goal. we are just a few miles from gaza where the war continues to rage on. but this morning all eyes are on iran with the threat of a wider war. this morning u.s. officials saying it was the terror group isis that was likely behind the deadliest attack iran has seen in more than 40 years.

nearly 100 killed and 200 wounded after two powerful bombs detonated. in a crowded iranian streets during a commemoration ceremony marking the death of the former top general killed by a u.s. drone strike four years ago. crowds desperately feeling after the first bomb blast, the second exploding minutes later. iranian officials say the bombs were placed in backpacks, detonated remotely. consider the mastermind behind a iranian backed network of militia groups including hamas and has below is considered a hero in iran where tens of thousands gathered in 2020. it's so compact you can barely move, but the emotion is everywhere. people have a very strong message for america. [chanting]

they chanted "death to america" now echoed after the recent attack on civilians. iranian president accusing israel and america of the attacks morning israel will pay the price. but u.s. officials say there is no evidence they were involved. >> can you rule out that israel had anything to do with this? >> we have no indication at this time at all that israel was involved in any way whatsoever. >> coming a day after is an israeli drone targeted and killed a top hamas official in lebanon. calling the strike "a serious and heinous crime that will not go without punishment." the u.s. saying it was not told in advance of the strike. and iranian backed official commander in iraq was also reportedly killed in baghdad by an air strike, michael. >> no one has claimed responsibility yet, but that's

not stopping iran from blaming israel, they are already on ed edge. >> they are already blaming israel, they immediately blamed israel, they immediately blamed america, the u.s. officials do believe this was a strike by isis, but believe me, michael, they will keep saying it's israel's fault and iran. >> thank you so much for that, lindsay. >> let's turn to some wa warm ad fuzzy news, the u.s. coast guard saving a dog after he fell down a cliff on new year's day. the video shows a rescuer being lowered down to the golden retriever whose name was leo bring the dog back up to safety. and reunited with its owners and is reportedly doing well. >> that's good story. >> that is a good story. >> coming up, the new twist attempting at a new trial. >> also had the las vegas judge who was violently attacked in her courtroom by a man being sent and spare talking about the video this morning kurt >> and

what one woman says happened to her when she stopped using a weight loss drug. but let's go back to ginger. >> that's all riled up. though storms have been blasting through, santa cruz, california, as he has seen some of them. and now the high advisories expire for southern california about some new ones popping up in the pacific northwest because we have another storm that is starting up this weekend. so that's for the 26 feet even bigger waves in sierra nevada for a new 20 inches this weekend as it gets going. it will then hook through with the texas panhandle, chicago could get some snow by early next week. that's early next tuesday morning, and then some severe weather again with the florida panhandle included. the heavy rain will fall in places that desperately need it. this is part of the area that has some of the worst drought and the nation and of course we are staying on that warm side for that second storm too. so coastal he we would be lucky to break that streak of not having to enter nor the more snow, your local weather

a big day tomorrow, melissa gill heart and the funny dan levy earth live in the studio. >> looking forward to that coming out to the cover story, a new study that says among fertile women, only two and a half- 3% return for the eggs they froze. it comes as a crazing increase by 31 percent in recent years according to the american society for reproductive medicine. here to break it all down as our own chief medical correspondent dr. jenn ashton. let's just start out with why the increase of women who are freezing their eggs? >> i think that's great news and women's reproductive health, because it represents a paradigm shift from treating infertility to being proactive about fertility. so this has been a trend now for the last 5-10 years. because he assisted reproductive technology come the science is so well-established. as costs start to come down and more employers start to cover these costs, we are seeing more and more women opt for it before

they receive a diagnosis of an fertility. >> and what is the success rate? and is there an expiration date? >> you have to remember during the study it's part of the proof of underlying concept that egg freezing does not 100% of the time of a live baby make. and that can be for a variety of reasons. change in life circumstances, change in physical circumstances, financial issues, and the success rates vary. they depend on the age of the woman when she freeze as her eggs that range from 15 percent to 18%. when you think about that there's this myth and misconception that you freeze your eggs, that will result in a live birth and that's absolutely not the case. >> i have a few girlfriends who have gone through this. it's quite a process to actually do it to not actually use the eggs, where we seen that happen? >> i think a lot of things can change, this study did not go into the why, they just took an overall observation about what

goes on with women. women who have received a diagnosis of infertility or get fewer eggs on retrieval are more likely to go back to use them, maybe with that warning that may be there fertility window might be closing. but i think that any woman considering that should ask that center what will happen to these eggs if i don't use them? often times they are used for research or or donated, but that is obviously very important information i think that also women need to remember this is not like going in for a haircut or a manicure, they are financial reasons, financial tolls, physical, emotional. if all goes well, it's a process i can take place in a couple of months, but unfortunately for a lot of women it can be very, very lengthy and extensive and expensive. >> who would you recommend this to? what should they know before they do it? >> i think a lot of ob-gyn's are talking to women in their mid-20s about this proactively.

so that they understand that it's an option that you don't want to wait for a diagnosis of infertility to consider it. but again, just because a go for that consult or their egg retrieval does not necessarily mean they will go back and use those eggs. so you can think of this in some ways as a reproductive type of insurance policy that it is an option there, but remember it does not necessarily equate to bringing a baby home from the hospital. >> but at least it can slow the biological clock down a little bit. >> it can alleviate a lot of anxiety that a lot of women have as they can into their 30s and beyond. >> some good advice for us. thanks so much. >> so our new year's theme roaring into 24, we have a parenting book author with us right now, pediatrician and registered dietitian rachel simmons, welcome to all of you. rachel, let me begin with you, last year we learned about gentle parenting, explained that and tell us what you recommend this year?

>> gentle parenting does not emphasize boundaries it's a lot of feelings and listening to kids, but i actually really think that kids thrive when they have rules. they need to know what's okay, what's not okay, and parents do best when they are a mix of firm but kind, you can't be too much of one or the other. in 20:24 a.m. encouraging parents to pave it and focus on giving their kids more autonomy. the research is showing that kids experience more anxiety when they have less control over their lives. so we have to give kids some of that control back so that they can have independence and they will be comber and happier for it. >> that's interesting right there. this is for you. what can parents do to give their kids a sense of responsibility and independence when it comes to what they are eating in their diet? >> i love that, i will piggyback here and use my daughter as an example. she is ten years old and she said she wants to be in charge of packing her snacks for school and then she also wants me to make her a special yummy lunch once per week. so i said to her, okay, little

girl, i love you coming you're going to help me shop. i want you when i am going online to help me pick out the items that you want to show up in your yummy lunch and your snack and then you are going to have the autonomy around actually putting it together. it allows me to teach her a little bit about nutrition, protein snacks and carbs what is going to keep her full as well as what travels well to school so that she really does eat it. >> that makes a lot of sense. dr. edith, parents have so many different options when you are looking for help, what do you recommend? >> a primary care pediatrician and started at small town medicine firm, and also advise tech platforms, you can go to your pediatrician, or do you medicine visits, text with the pediatrician, the first thing i will say is that there is no replacement for your regular checkups with your pediatrician. they are so much that we are doing in those checkups beyond just giving immunizations and the second thing is that i really hope this year parents will make a plan with her pediatrician ahead of their kids

getting sick. so let's learn, what is appropriate for a phone call? what is appropriate for an office visit. when should you go to the emergency room? and just as important, when do you not need to go to the emergency room. we see so many children who as soon as they get a call for especially school-age children who are otherwise healthy, as soon as they get a call for a fever, parents run and we understand we want to help and worry with parents, but we also want to see them miss the trip and feel and powered by choices. >> you will be okay. >> we have some viewer questions, this comes from a mom of three, and check it out. >> with the start of the new year, and wondering what parents can expect back and to what suggestions you have on how to handle it? >> i love this question, because as adults we are all about new year, new me. our kids are the opposite, they are writing the hot mess express

when they come back from their holiday break, because they have been on screens, they are off their routine. we have to actually manage our expectations down for them, up for us. there's plenty of time for us to set big expectations later in the year, it ain't now. >> no question about that. and here is from josh, he is a dad. >> my family and i just got back from vacation to one of those all-inclusive resorts, now my 5-year-old is not eating the meals we set for him at dinner time, what are some ways that i can get him back on track eating his usual meals? >> oh, my goodness, josh, i see yoyou and hear you, on the same struggle bus as well. set regular meal times, what i want you to do is think about adding snacks and at these consistent times and continue to offer hydration, coming specifically from water and add those vegetables end. put them on the plate every time we sit down to a meal, u.s. the adults and caregiver decide what, when, and where, and the

kid does if and how much. >> this is a mom of two, a question for you dr. edith. >> as i prepare for 2024, what should be top of mind for kids overall health and well-being? >> yes, i love this. so let's go back to basics is what i would say. so first thing is let's make sure our immunizations are up to date all of the vaccines whether that is flu, covid, the new rsv if your child qualifies, let's check those car seats. let's try to keep our kids we are facing as long as we can if we have checked the weight and height limits. and lastly, let's check in with ourselves. i think when we take care of ourselves and all of us as moms can attest to this. when we take care of ourselves, we are able to show up her kids. we are able to do the regular mealtimes and enforce the boundaries and all the wonderful things we have talked about. >> dads too, thank you

>> we are back on the new space-saving speak of the epa estimates that americans use 25% more garbage from the holidays to the new year, ginger here with ideas on what to do with all of that stuff around the house. >> i don't know about you, you were all over asia enjoying yourself, but i was organizing during the holidays, hold up and looking at the kids toy cabinet, and that's where i found some helpful options to tidy up without trashing the planet. >> that postholiday clutter is thick as we start the new year. >> now that the toy cabinet is full of all shiny new stuff from the holidays, what we do with all of those forgotten or can't be donated. or those that are broken and can be recycled. >> an estimated 3 billion to joya's are sold in the u.s. every year and are often not made with an end-of-life and mine. >> the vast majority of toys unfortunately are thrown out after just one child is done playing with them. >> so now accompany once your toys that you can't throw in the recycling bin.

they ever cycled 4 million toys in the last five years preventing 550,000 pounds of waste. you can send toys to terror cycle in two ways, request a free shipping label or by a zero waste box. terror cycle then sorts, cleans, treads, crushes and melts down those toys into usable materials that can be used to make new products. >> over the past five years in the u.s. alone we have launched 600 different recycling programs because people are asking, what happens to my toy once my child is done playing with it? >> tom says it's up to the company is and all of us to push for a better alternative to deal with plastic and other waste. >> i think recycling is only one part of a multipronged solution. we need to always ask, is our child really going to enjoy that toy for a long period of time before we purchase? >> so that shredded material right here is what to do toys get down to. then they are made into these beads and then they are made

into things like that, a flower pot, watering, but terror cycle i mean both say that there are other options before you do all of that. so this is the best thing obviously donate if you can, and a lot of places won't take the donations, but check with churches and dirk day cares, because they are open and have different specifications, and then make some money. he would be so surprised how big that secondhand toy sale is. i have done it and have deftly purchased. so adrian was so into having action figures, but i went on ebay and found a whole collection of these. this is just a small fraction coming he has been loving them. they were someone else's and i dump them in the bath and he does not know any different. >> now he does. >> a

>> she looked at me when she said tween's. [laughter] >> it's a compliment. >> what is your number one ingredient that you say will simplify your skincare? >> retinoids are one of the most powerful ingredients in all of skincare come not only can they treat acne, prevent breakouts, but some can reverse signs of aging and the skin. firming the skin, smoothing out lines and wrinkles. so you can get a prescription strength retinoid from your dermatologist or one over the counter, so people are familiar with retinol, so imagine this cup of coffee is a retinol. if you take a shot or two shots of espresso and you pour it into that coffee, that's how we are thinking of that ingredient called right now with nal, because it's also over the counter, but is thought to be even more powerful than retinol, but if you are introducing this for the first time into your skincare routine, that's when skin cycling comes into play, because most people can't tolerate a retinoid every single night of the week especially not

at first, -- >> they can make your skin peel. >> peel, red flaking, and days after you are starting. >> the good moisture is or what help that, right? but they are so many options, so which should you look for? >> a good moisturizer is the foundation of your skincare routine especially during the winter months, you want to look for one that will dive into the skin, not just on the surface, you want it to be clinically proven to hydrate the skin and take care of the skin barrier and you're looking for ingredients like ceramide's, squalene, hyaluronic acid, but if you have sensitive skin like i do you want to avoid moisturizers that have essential oils or fragrance in them. those can be irritating. >> you say this final product is actually your favorite, tell us what we have? >> one of my favorite staples is a vitamin c serum. it can brighten dark spots, it can even out skin tone, but it also protects the skin from things like pollution, uv

damage, so we used to say use your vitamin c every single morning that affects the boost of your sunscreen, but now there are newer forms that you can use twice a day, get those results even faster. i use it twice a day every single day. >> you have treated my

the ponytail little bit? >> yes, 2024, new year, new due. this is all about convenience as well as looking great. so a ponytail is the perfect hairstyle for this instance, length and texture. so basically for a ponytail, all we have to do is take the ponytail and your hair just has to be as long as it takes to go into a little hair tie like this. you back home a little section for your ponytail to attach to and literally just put your ponytail in as there is a little piece to wrap around. now a lot of people use clip and extensions for the ponytail, but for me that's a little bulky and takes a lot of time, so having a ponytail piece, this one is by bel ami is really, really easy. so this took me like ten seconds to wrap around to. >> of rbob boom. you are ready. >> and she is 2024 ready with a

beautiful ponytail. look how beautiful that is. >> very nice! we like that. all right, and our producer here, now always a video, but you have a new way to get this look. >> beach waves are a stable, everyone loves them. conventionally people use a curling iron to achieve it. but that's all dependent on the shape of the curling iron, you can only get one curl, with a flat iron the possibilities are endless. so basically you just take a piece of hair, the method i use this kind of like have you ever curled up piece of ribbon with the scissors? that's kind of the principal. so you are going to slide the flat iron away from the face down the hair. just like this and you can create a drawn out beachy wave, you can go more glamorous, but it literally takes two seconds to do. i will do another piece here. and this is just a really convenient and easy way to waive

your hair without having to use a curling iron. >> looks very good. we love that. >> and always make sure that when you heat style your hair you are using a heat protectant also. >> what are some of the trends you are expecting for '24? >> so we are seeing a huge return to red hair. now we love our natural redheads, but we see so many celebrities dying their hair red and megan to stallion, megan fox, all of the megan's dying their hair red, huge trend we will see in 2024. and also a return to romantic beautiful soft hair. we will see a lot of cascading botticelliesque curls and waves and a lot of textured hair. we are going to see a less severe hair than we saw in 2023 which was a little bit of the tight buns, this is more just a beautiful natural flowing hair. >> so longer more than short?

>> not necessarily, talking about texture, more natural texture. >> and what advice would you get for people trying to keep their hair fresh in between washes? >> right, so i think that everybody a secret weapon is dry shampoo, some people are slightly traumatized in the past by dry shampoo just because back in the day it used to just be talcum powder that you sprain your hair and you get this to marie antoinette wig look at, so this is dry shampoo 2.0, the new generation. i created this dry shampoo to be completely invisible, good with dark hair, usually you stay away, because you don't want the powdery look, it's completely invisible, fresh and say here and you don't get that tail key feeling, so it's just reset back to beautiful hair. >> we think you so much, want to let her viewers know that you can chop all of these products by scanning the qr code on the screen are going to the website goodmorningamerica.com. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ to (♪)
