for challenging vice president harris' racial identity during a forum before the national association of black journalists. it came after i asked trump about his supporters' attacks on harris as a, quote, dei hire. trump first asking for a definition. is that acceptable language to you? and will you tell those republicans and those supporters to stop it. >> how do you define dei? go ahead. how you define it? >> reporter: diversity equity inclusion. >> is that your definition? give me a definition then. give me a definition. give me a definition. >> reporter: sir, i'm asking you a question. >> define it for me. >> reporter: i just defined it, sir. do you believe vice president harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman? >> well, i can say, no. i think maybe it's a little bit different. i have known her a long time indirectly, not directly ver she was always of indian heritage. she was only promoting indian heritage.

i didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black. now she wants to be known as black. i don't know. is she indian or is she black? i respect either one. i respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she was indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a black person. >> reporter: just to be clear, sir, do you believe -- >> i think somebody should look into that, too, when you ask and continue in a very hostile nasty tone. >> reporter: it's a direct question. do you believe vice president harris is a dei hire? >> i really don't know. i really don't know. could be. >> reporter: harris has long embraced her jamaican and indian heritage. she attended howard university where she also joined the nation's first sorority. hours later harris came before another historical black sorority responding with this. >> it was the same old show. the divisiveness and the disrespect.

and let me just say the american people deserve better. >> reporter: republican larry hogan, running for senate in maryland, calling it unacceptable and abhorrent to attack vice president harris or anyone's racial identity. trump also asked about his running mate, ohio senator j.d. vance, who has been on defense for past comments, calling women without children childless cat ladies who are miserable. >> when you look at j.d. vance, is he ready on day one? >> does he what? >> ready on day one, if he has to be. >> i have always had great respect for him, and for the other candidates, too. historically, the choice of a vice president makes no difference. you're voting for the president. you can have a vice president who is outstanding in every way. i think j.d. is. i think all of them would have been.

but you're not voting that way. you're voting for the president. you're voting for me. >> reporter: trump not answering whether vance is ready on day one. his running mate on defense. >> that's what the president said to me privately when he was thinking about selecting me or somebody else. it's just true. most people are going to vote for kamala harris or donald trump. >> reporter: i also asked about his pledge to pardon those convicted in the january 6 riot. when "time" magazine asked if you would consider pardoning all the rioters, you said yes, absolutely. you called them patriots. >> sure. >> reporter: 140 police officers were assaulted that day. were the people who assaulted those 140 officers patriots who deserve pardons? >> well, let me bring it back to modern day, like about five days ago. >> reporter: trump then talking about the recent anti-israel protest in washington. protesters defacing monuments. but i asked him again, would he pardon the january 6th rioters convicted of assaulting police officers. >> excuse me. what's going to happen -- r: wo those people? >> absolutely. if they're innocent, i would pardon them. >> reporter: they've been

convicted. >> the supreme court just -- well, they were convicted by a very tough system. >> reporter: last night donald trump was back out on the campaign trail in pennsylvania. he did not repeat any of those controversial comments questioning vice president harris' racial identity. as for harris, the dnc virtual role call does begin today. she could become the official nominee as early as monday. >> rebecca: thank you, as all. we turn to the plea deal reached with three men who plotted the 911 attacks including the accused mastermind. our chief white house correspondent mary bruce has the details. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. well, this morning the man accused of plotting the 911 attacks and two of his accomplices will now avoid the death penalty, pleading guilty in exchange for life sentences

lawsuit against netflix over the hit baby reindeer series, which was billed as a true story. a netflix executive now making an admission about the show. trevor ault is here with more on that. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning. this is a popular netflix drama. it's earned 11 emmy nominations. but one woman said this show was written to ruin her life. this does raise some questions about life inspiring art and when a show is billed as a true story, just how true does it need to be? >> you say this woman is stalking you. >> yeah. six months maybe. >> why did it take so long to report it? >> i think she needs help. >> reporter: a real life twist in the drama about a comedian and his stalker. >> could you let go of my hand. >> reporter: richard created and starred in baby reindeer which he said he based on his real experience with an alleged stalker who sent him 41,000 e-mails and left him 350,000 hours of voice mail.

in the show the stalker is named martha scott. >> where were you last night? need to tell me if you're not working. >> reporter: but this woman, fiona harvey, said that character is based on her, filing a $170 million defamation lawsuit against netflix telling piers morgan. >> it's taken over enough of my life. he's a liar. my friends say like wise. >> reporter: the suit says the claim it's a true story is the biggest lie in television history, designed to attract more viewers, make more money and viciously destroy the life of fiona harvey. soon after the show took off, many people online began searching for the real person who inspired the character. >> people online are convinced that this is the real martha scott. >> her name is fiona harvey. >> internet sleuths gave me death threats. >> reporter: she said the character is a twice convicted

stalker sentenced to five years in prison when in real life harvey was never convicted of stalking. in a letter obtained by deadline before the suit was filed, netflix does admit the person on whom the show was based was subject to a court order rather than conviction. in a motion netflix filed monday says, as is obvious to any reasonable viewer, the series is not a factual documentary. and star richard gedd maintains in sworn testimony that fiona harvey did stalk and harass him for years, even attacking him physically, but says in a court statement, like all characters in the series, martha is a fictional character with fictional personality traits that are very different than harvey's. now, richard gadd does also maintain the show is emotionally true. each episode has a disclaimer that says the program is based on real events but certain characters and events have been fictionalized for dramatical purposes.

that's not until the very end of the credits rather than the begin. >> whit: key point in all of this. >> also interesting. she's sue netflix, not the creator, even though he created. >> rebecca: the deep pockets. >> whit: definitely something to watch, trevor. thank you very much. coming up later, the preliminary results of a new clinical study of the weight loss drug zepbound and possible secondary health benefits. the remarkable rescue after a toddler fell 12 feet under ground, got stuck in a narrow pipe. i got help to push back. lybalvi helps us push back against bipolar 1. once-daily prescription lybalvi is proven to treat manic or mixed episodes of bipolar 1 in adults, to help you push back. elderly patients with dementia have increased risk of death or stroke. do not take lybalvi if you are taking opioids or are in opioid withdrawal. the samidorphan in lybalvi can cause severe opioid withdrawal

as soon as more details become available. right now something so difficult that we all have to go through in our lives. that is grief. everyone's journey is different. someone near and dear to my family, author missy buchanan, poured out her new heart in her new book. it's called feeling your way through grief to help us all through the process. as my mom would say, so good to lay my eyes on you. >> good to lay my eyes on you, too. >> robin: missy, missy, missy, missy. i just want to share something. such wise words when you were working with my mother that's helped a lot of folks. take a look. >> i tell older adults all the time, do not close your book until your story's finished. if you still have stories to tell, don't close the book before it's over. >> robin: i tell you, there's so

much i could talk to you about. i want to get to it. i am so sorry for the loss of your husband barry, who was so dear. that's the reason you wrote this book. was there anything in the process of writing with mom that you want to share that's helped you? >> what a gift that was. to sit across in your mom's living room. i went with probably 200 questions to ask her. i asked her one because the stories just rolled. one of the most important things she taught me was about happy sorrow. happy sorrow. that's something that i have hung on to. how to grieve well. how to intertwine love and grief, passion and joy, you know? it doesn't go away. it just changes. it's intertwined forever. >> robin: i remember when i was talking to regina king, who lost her son.

she said grief is love that has nowhere to go. >> that's right. >> robin: tell people what you try to share with your book. it's about feeling. >> it is. when barry died, i had a library of grief books because i worked with older adults and write about aging. so i had a whole repertoire of books. i started looking through them. particularly those early days and weeks. they were more like textbooks or were academic or had homework. i didn't want to do homework. i couldn't focus. so i was really looking for something that was for my broken heart. so i began to do what i often do which is process through writing. just snippets as if i'm talking to him. little snippets of the day. i would say it's the hardest book i have written. >> robin: you've written 11? >> 11 books.

>> robin: you had more to write. also you talk about how it's really helped your beautiful children. i know your daughter mindy is here with you. news special report. >> i'm whit johnson in new york. we're coming back on the air with breaking news. a multinational prisoner exchange involving the u.s. and russia, one of the largest prisoner swaps since the end of the cold war. we're talking about decades here. abc news has learned. former u.s. marine paul whelan and wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich are being released. just two weeks ago, gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years in prison for espionage during what the u.s. called a sham trial. you'll remember whelan was also convicted of spying, which he has strongly denied. he was arrested in december of 2018. the u.s. has tried to include him in other prisoner swaps, including the release of wnba star brittney

griner, only to be rejected by moscow. president biden has made winning the release of detained americans in russia a top priority since taking office. and again, these details just coming in, let's get right to abc's chief white house correspondent, mary bruce. we know it's a fluid situation, mary, but what are you learning now? >> well, this is the largest and most complex prisoner exchange since the end of the cold war. this has taken months of detailed, painstaking negotiations. the president himself deeply involved in these conversations. we are told that he has been monitoring this in near real time throughout this morning. i am also told that the president this morning here in the oval office, gathered the families of the americans that are being released today. he wanted to give that news to them himself. they are, as you mentioned, of course. wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich. he has been held since march of 2023. he was just sentenced last month to 16 years in a penal colony, in that secret trial that had absolutely no public proof. also, a former us marine, paul whelan, he has

been held for five and a half years, also on similar espionage charges that the us and whelan and gershkovich have all fiercely denied also being released. also khromacheva. she's a russian american journalist who has been held for nearly a year, and vladimir kara-murza, he's a pulitzer prize winning washington post columnist, a prominent kremlin critic, we are told all four of them are now making their way back home. all told, 16 individuals held in russia will be freed and eight individuals held by the u.s, germany, norway, slovenia and poland will also be returned to russia, turkey also playing a logistical role here. this is the culmination, we are told, of many complex rounds of negotiations. this ultimately went up to the president having detailed negotiations himself, leader to leader. it became very clear several months ago that russia was not going to be willing to engage in any kind of prisoner exchange without without the release. excuse me? one hears, i read through my notes without the release of

vadim krasikov vadim krasikov. he, of course, is a russian operative, a convicted murderer, and he is being held or was being held in germany. that meant that the president had to get on the phone and actually reach out to the german chancellor. the president so involved what we are told that he was actually making calls on this in the hour before he decided to drop out of the presidential race. wit and i do want to let you know one other update that was just handed to me here, the president is going to be coming before cameras in a little over 20 minutes at noon to deliver remarks on the freeing of the americans detained in russia. >> win. all right. mary bruce, stand by for us. we know those details still coming in right now. and you mentioned turkey. let's go ahead. i believe we have a shot from the airport in ankara. we don't have that anymore. but we know that intelligence agency there, officials were telling us that they played a coordinating role between the countries and that likely that tarmac at the airport was a place where this prisoner swap was going to happen again. we had some pictures coming in. we're going to stay on top of that. let's bring in tom soufi burridge, who's been following the

developments overseas, and tom, mary mentioned vadim krasikov. of course, he was serving that life sentence in germany for gunning down a kremlin opponent in berlin. that was back in 2019. now putin himself, through the series of a number of interviews, had suggested that any prisoner swap needed to include him. what more are you learning? >> yeah, look, we know where vadim krasikov was absolutely key to this deal taking place. vladimir putin saying so himself, and us officials confirming that vadim krasikov, as you say, gunned down a chechen dissident in a park just over there here in berlin five years ago. he was serving a life sentence here in a german priso, and he is one of the key people to be returned to russia. also an individual from norway, also from an individual from poland, and critically and fascinatingly, a couple, a russian couple being held in slovenia yesterday. all of a sudden that couple pleading guilty to espionage charges in a slovenian court. according to

slovenian officials, they were leading a double life with an argentinian fake identity. their kids also returned in in this prisoner swap. >> all right, tom, thank you. let's bring in martha raddatz, our chief global affairs correspondent, who's joining us on the phone right now. and, martha, what does this say? the fact that the us and russia can negotiate successfully under difficult terms like this. >> well, i think first of all, this is very separate from any relationship we have with russia. things are obviously still incredibly tense because of ukraine especially. but this is an incredibly good sign that they can still cooperate on matters like this. what i think one question is why putin did this. now, he obviously felt very strongly about getting krasnikov back, especially the assassin. and i think when you go into that kind of job in russia, you are almost promised that they will do everything

possible to get you out. and they can certainly recruit more after that. but as as we know, joe biden has been working on this for a very long time, and his team to try to get evan gershkovich and paul whelan back. the families have also been so critical and so key in all of this. they did not let anyone forget that evan and paul and the others, and there was always talk of the others. we want everyone released, possibl, but the families and the wall street journal, certainly for evan, just kept the focus on these prisoners and said they would do absolutely anything. so people did not forget that they were held so long. so the families certainly celebrating this morning, the, the soon to be arrival of their family members with. >> yeah. just an agonizing wait for these families as these

negotiations played out behind the scenes. martha. thank you. let's go back to mary bruce at the white house. as you're getting more detail, because, mary, you talked about how president biden himself had been involved. these negotiations were going on behind the scenes. obviously, there was that high profile prisoner swap with brittney griner a while back, and then there was a setback after the death of alexei navalny. there was some question as to whether he could be involved in a swap going forward. what else can you tell us about how we got to this point today and the president's involvement? >> well, what we are actually now hearing from the president, he has just put out a paper statement saying the deal that secured their freedom was a feat of diplomacy. he said, some of these men and women have been unjustly held for years, saying all have endured unimaginable suffering and uncertainty. the president saying today their agony is over. he goes on to thank all of the allies who were involved in this, saying, this is a powerful example of how vital it is to have friends in the world who you can trust and depend on. and then he goes on

with a strong message to those who are still being wrongfully detained, saying, let me be clear, i will not stop working until every american wrongfully detained or held hostage around the world is reunited with their family, he says. even as we are now celebrating the return of these americans, he says that his message to all of those still being detained and their families. we see you. we are with you, with mary bruce and our entire team. >> thank you once again, president biden expected to make some remarks on this. the prisoner swap. unprecedented. we haven't seen anything like this since the end of the cold war. when that happens, we will break back in. but for now, our coverage continues on abc news live and abcnews.com. we'll have a full wrap up on world news tonight. so for now, we'll send you back to regular programing. and in some parts of the country that's good morning america i'm whit johnson in new york. have a great day. >> this has been a >> tens of millions of people watching the show. >> the winner is carrie
