7:03 am
rain today, and denver part of the severe weather threat for this afternoon and evening so damaging wind and big hail, definitely possible. this is a really large area on saturday. i wanted to point out little rock up to st. louis. please watch out for this as this comes together for your saturday afternoon and evening. i know you want to know about monday so please stick around. i'll be back in moments with that forecast. david. >> can't wait for that. in the meantime, as we know millions are hitting the skies and that weather is already leading to so many delays and cancellations and abc's david kerley at reagan national airport where we saw the growing lines. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, david. you can see it is a heavy flow today and a lot of folks in line and weather is complicating this and it is going to be a record. according to the estimates we're talking 4% to 5% more people flying this holiday weekend. that means that if there were 100 people on your plane last year, 104, 105 this year. and for the summer season just kicking often, it's only going to get busier.
7:04 am
aaa is estimating that 234 million americans are going to be hitting the skies over the summer season. it's a lot of folks flying, david, and the weather that we're talking about in the last couple of days has been this complicating factor. more than 900 flights canceled yesterday, more than 7,000 delayed and, of course, they're trying to deal with that today to get all these folks where they want to go for the holiday weekend, david. >> a big dose of patience needed. what about new tsa procedures for screen king carry-ons. i know they're testing them in certain airports. where is it happening? who should be aware? >> reporter: we're not seeing it here at reagan. there are ten airports around the country testing the new procedures, where you have to take out any electronic device bigger than your phone, some food products and even big books. the problem is we are packing too much into our bags so tsa is testing this new plan. l.a.x., phoenix, boston, some of the big airports where those tests are going on, david. >> all right, thanks. i'm one of those people, the ziploc bag is broken. i should get a new ziploc one of these days. >> what you should pack is a lot of patience. >> no question. >> the roads are going to be
7:05 am
packed this morning. so let's go to abc's eva pilgrim who is just north of new york city right now. how is it going out there, eva? >> reporter: oh, robin, it is moving. it's the busiest memorial day travel weekend in over a decade. aaa projecting 34.6 million people will hit the road, that's up 2.4% from last year. we have two rvs next to us. people are getting out of the city making their move for the holiday weekend and there are cars already trying to get where they're headed. >> what is the best time to head out? >> reporter: well, the best time varies from city to city, so if you haven't already left and you're not going to leave super, super late, you're probably going to hit some traffic. friday usually is the worst day to travel. we all know that. it's pretty common sense. everyone is trying to make the most of the holiday weekend so be prepared to sit in traffic today. if you're leaving today and if you're coming back on monday, that's another day you're going to have to sit in traffic.
7:06 am
everybody is trying to stretch it doing the same thing. >> our thanks to eva and the whole team this morning. >> absolutely. >> we'll check back in with her. we're going to move on to other news here this morning and another big headline, the montana special election results coming in overnight and the republican candidate for congress who's been charged with assaulting a reporter throwing him to the ground has won. overnight he spoke out about the confrontation and abc's clayton sandell is in bozeman, montana, with much more. hey, clayton. >> reporter: hey david, good morning. there were big questions about whether that explosive recording was going to affect the race here, but this morning, montana voters have spoken. this morning, montana republican greg gianforte is set to become the newest member of congress. >> tonight we won a victory for all montanans. >> reporter: his victory speech just 24 hours after allegedly assaulting "guardian" reporter ben jacobs, who asked a question about health care and recorded this response. >> i'm sick and tired of you guys. the last time you came in here, you did the same thing. get the hell out of here.
7:07 am
>> jesus. >> get the hell out of here. the last guy did the same thing. you with "the guardian"? >> yes, and you just broke my glasses. >> the last guy did the same damn thing. >> you just body-slammed me and broke my glasses. >> reporter: gianforte's campaign originally blamed jacobs, saying the reporter acted aggressively, an account dispute by a fox news crew that saw the whole thing. >> when gianforte grabbed him by the neck, both hands, slid him to the side, body-slammed him and then got on top of him and started punching and then yelling at him. >> reporter: the sheriff charged gianforte, a former software executive, with assault. house speaker paul ryan called for an apology and overnight -- >> when you make a mistake, you have to own up to it. >> reporter: gianforte fell on his sword. >> i should not have treated that reporter that way and for that, i'm sorry, mr. ben jacobs. >> reporter: so far jacobs has not responded to that apology. gianforte will soon be headed to congress, but first, he'll be
7:08 am
headed to court by june 7th to face that assault charge. robin. >> clayton, thank you. now to president trump closing in on the final days of his first international trip, this morning in sicily meeting with the g7 leaders which includes some of america's most important allies. and back here at home, there are two major developments, a federal appeals court has upheld the block on the president's travel ban. and the trump administration now says they plan to take that fight to the supreme court. one of the president's top advisers, his son-in-law, jared kushner, is now a focus of the russia investigation. we'll have much more on all that ahead, but first, let's go to our senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega in italy, for more on the president's big morning. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning, robin. not a bad backdrop here for you. this is where the leaders of the seven most powerful countries in the world are gathered today hoping to try to tackle some of the most pressing problems and behind the scenes, many of them have plans to lobby president trump hard.
7:09 am
this morning, president trump in this scenic town in sicily rounding out his first trip abroad meeting with world leaders like japan's shinzo abe. >> great to have prime minister abe, a friend of mine. >> reporter: their focus, north korea. >> it's a big problem. it's a world problem, and it will be solved at some point. it will be solved. you can bet on that. >> reporter: but his presence on the world stage already making headlines for moments like this. the president appearing to push the prime minister of montenegro aside stepping to the front of the pack for a photo-op. and this handshake with france's new president, emmanuel macron. >> congratulations, great job. >> reporter: it went on and on, so long it appears president trump tried to pull away. their knuckles turning white. he did not seem to make any new friends with his speech to nato. the alliance he called obsolete during the campaign.
7:10 am
>> nato members must finally contribute their fair share and meet their financial obligations. >> reporter: the president telling them it's time to pay up. >> 23 of the 28 member nations are still not paying what they should be paying, and what they are supposed to be paying for their defense. this is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the united states. >> reporter: some leaders laughing it off. others whispering. canada's justin trudeau stone-faced. yeah, many of those leaders looked very uncomfortable on that stage there. the president, though, is tweeting this morning, he is calling this trip very successful. he says it may have saved the u.s. billions of dollars and millions of jobs. it's unclear exactly how this trip may have done that. the issue that he is sure to face behind the scenes this morning, david, climate change, many of the european leaders here looking to push him hard on that one. >> big issues ahead and just a stunning backdrop behind you, cecilia. hope you get a chance to enjoy a
7:11 am
little bit of it. always busy, cecilia vega, thanks to you. let's bring in our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl, who is also traveling with the president in italy. jon, first the developing headline back here at home you're aware of involving the president's son-in-law jared kushner, also one of the senior advisers. now his contacts with the russians are under scrutiny in the investigation by the fbi. what have you learned? what are they looking at? >> reporter: david, there is no indication that jared kushner is a target of this fbi investigation, but he is a person of interest. in other words, the fbi believes that kushner may have information that is relevant to their investigation, specifically, two meetings that took place during the transition. the first with the russian ambassador to the united states, and the second, a meeting that he had with the head of a russian state controlled bank. kushner's lawyer saying if the fbi reaches out, he is willing to cooperate, and he said the same thing to congressional investigators who also want to talk to him. even though there is no indication he is a target of the investigation, this will be a
7:12 am
major distraction. >> jon karl, working around the clock for us. we watched the president telling nato leaders they're not paying their fair share for defense, not backing down as some leaders looked at each other, some uncomfortable moments and now expected to face tough questions on the g7 on issues they haven't seen eye to eye. what are you seeing? >> reporter: well, it's been a tough reception. you know, the president went to nato and delivered a very stern message, almost a lecturing message, telling them that they had to pay their fair share for collective defense. that's not surprising. that's something he said very strongly as a candidate. but it's what they didn't hear from him that was so concerning. he didn't come out and bluntly reaffirm america's commitment to collective self-defense, in other words, that an attack on any nato ally is an attack on all nato allies. he didn't say that. the white house says, of course, the president believes that, and shares that commitment that has been around for more than six
7:13 am
decades for the united states, but he didn't say it. that hurt. and now issues like climate change, refugees, even how tough to be with russia on all issues disagreements with our strongest allies here in europe. >> all right. jon karl and our entire team traveling with the president. thanks to you all. david, now to a new arrest in connection with the concert terror attack in the uk. british police carrying out more raids trying to root out a possible terror network. abc's matt gutman is on the scene for us in manchester this morning. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey. good morning, robin. authorities say there are eight men total who have been arrested. all of them detained in connection to terrorism and as authorities try to close the noose on any possible accomplices they are scrambling to determine if there is a second device out there. in raid after raid authorities here racing to roll up a possible terror cell. searches sweeping england. for the first time police with long guns patrolling trains. at one rate south of manchester,
7:14 am
the bomb squad moved in and hundreds forced out of their homes and into the streets. it is now a global investigation. eight men in custody in england and the father and younger brother of 22-year-old salman abedi who detonated that bomb arrested in libya. authorities telling abc news good progress is being made as they zero in on possible accomplices. they are now revealing more about his movements. in july of last year, video shows him in this north african robe, and just days before the attack at this shopping mall, wearing the backpack suspected to have carried the bomb. and libyan authorities say just 15 minutes before detonating that device, he called his mother and brother asking for forgiveness. and this morning the last of the victims have been named, and at this memorial site for them, we found this muslim man weeping. >> really, really breaks me. >> reporter: he came here, he said, because of the mayor's
7:15 am
message of unity. in the crowd, we tracked down the mayor. i want to introduce you to the man would came up to you earlier. >> if we start thinking like that, we can start making a difference. >> reporter: now the pressure is on that mayor and police here because this weekend the city is holding its biggest sporting event. that as authorities learned that abedi managed to get through multiple european airports without being picked up just days before the attack. robin. >> matt, thanks very much. michael. we're going to switch gears and we all know that graduation season is in full swing and facebook's ceo mark zuckerberg returned to the school he famously dropped out of, harvard, to deliver the commencement address. take a look. >> because let's face it, you accomplished something i never could. [ laughter ] if i get through this speech today, it'll be the first time i actually finished something here at harvard.
7:16 am
i want to talk about three ways that we can create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose. by taking on big, meaningful projects together. by redefining equality so everyone has the freedom to pursue their purpose, and by building community all across the world. purpose is that feeling that you are a part of something bigger than yourself, that you are needed and that you have something better ahead to work for. purpose is what creates true happiness. >> interesting speech. he talked about his best memory from harvard was meeting his wife, priscilla. he thought he was going to get kicked out because he started a business there and they wanted to see him. he didn't get kicked out but said he was at a party his friends threw for him and saw his wife and said, hey, i'm going to get kicked out of here in three days, you have to go out on a date with me. and it worked out. >> i saw that in the movie. that was good.
7:17 am
that was good. >> a true story. >> all right. michael. thank you. now you have the other top stories and one that's developing right now. >> that's right. it is a developing story unfolding right now actually. gunmen opening fire on a bus full of coptic christians happening in egypt. so far, at least 24 people have been killed. dozens more wounded. that bus was headed to a monastery. no immediate claim of responsibility and you'll remember on palm sunday isis attacked a church in alexandria killing dozens of people there. also breaking overnight, more than 30 people were injured when their tour bus overturned in new jersey. it was heading from new york city to atlanta when it collided with a tractor trailer. all of the injuries, thankfully, are said to be minor. and some stunning figures this morning about alzheimer's disease. the number of americans with that deadly condition jumped more than 50% in a 15-year period. the centers for disease control says america's aging population and longer life spans have contributed to that increase.
7:18 am
and a heart-stopping encounter between a hunter and black bear has been caught on camera. take a look as richard was on a spring hunt in canada when he spotted the animal. it suddenly charges and he starts making loud noises to try to scare it off. he is knocked to the ground, boom. the bear quickly ran off and wesley says he is grateful to be alive and that the bear just bruised his elbow and his ego. >> could have made louder noises. >> yeah, exactly. take a look at this. one reason to obey traffic signs. so, yep, you might end up in wet cement. the driver in nebraska ignored traffic cones thinking i'll go around it. it'll cost him about $10,000 in damage done to the street. we're not even talking about the damage done to his car and perhaps his ego. >> yes, as well. that's right. whoo. got to pay attention. >> all-wheel drive. >> made traffic worse after that. we're fearing a lot of that traffic for the memorial day weekend, and ginger, you were telling us it was tough for you to get back home.

7:31 am
center of the country moving east. thousands of flights already been canceled or delayed. in the meantime, we'll move on to that new development in the russia investigation. we've learned that under scrutiny now president trump's son-in-law, ivanka trump's husband, jared kushner, and his contacts with the russians. abc news learned contacts between kushner and russian officials are a focus and abc's david wright is following the developments for us. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, david. jared kushner is not just another white house staffer. he may well be the president's closest adviser, the one guy in the inner circle who can't be fired, so the fact he is now swept up in the russian investigation puts this all uncomfortably close to the president. jared kushner's lawyer promised full cooperation. quote, mr. kushner previously volunteered to share with congress what he knows about these meetings. he will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry. sources tell abc news, kushner is not accused of any wrongdoing, nor is he a target of their investigation. but the fbi is curious about a
7:32 am
december meeting kushner had with russian ambassador sergey kislyak and retired lieutenant general, michael flynn. flynn's further contacts with that same russian ambassador ultimately got him fired. >> i asked for his resignation. he respectfully gave it. >> reporter: during the transition, kushner also met with the head of a russian bank that is subject to u.s. sanctions. >> jared is a very successful real estate person, but i actually think he likes politics more than he likes real estate. he's very good at politics. >> reporter: just a few years ago, jared kushner was running his dad's company, cutting his first big real estate deals in brooklyn. >> the last place i thought i would be would be spending a lot of time in brooklyn. >> reporter: the 36-year-old real estate investor with no prior government experience now is never far from the boss' side. "the week" magazine calls him america's princeling. he rarely speaks publicly but has the king's ear.
7:33 am
>> i have a son-in-law. jared is a great guy. >> reporter: he is the point guy for the generals, the back channel for world leaders. in charge of reinventing government and brokering middle east peace. kushner has so much on his plate he's the butt of late night jokes. >> okay, that's a little much for one family member, maybe they should give middle east peace to tiffany. >> reporter: so the fact that kushner's name has now come up as part of the ongoing investigation into russian meddling and possible collusion by trump associates -- >> the entire thing has been a witch-hunt. >> reporter: -- has got to be a sore subject. well at this point, we have learned that the fbi has not even reached out to kushner, nor have they requested any documents yet, but sources tell us he's being considered in a different category altogether from paul manafort, michael flynn and some of the people that are more directly implicated. >> as you point out no contact with the fbi. we know that robert mueller is now special counsel heading up
7:34 am
the investigation. any kind of time frame as to when they could be reaching out? >> none whatsoever and this fbi investigation is very different from the congressional ones because there they're negotiating with friendly allies, republicans in congress. here robert mueller operates on his own timetable. >> reaching into the west wing. >> yeah. >> all right, david, thanks. >> david, thank you. now to that mysterious death in miami. a federal prosecutor's body found on hollywood beach raising a lot of questions. abc's linsey davis is here with the latest in the case. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, robin. beranton whisenant was working his way up in the legal field. just a few months ago he had accepted a job working in the u.s. attorney's office in miami in its major crimes unit. now his own death is being investigated as a crime. this morning police are investigating the death of miami federal prosecutor and father of three, beranton whisenant jr. the 37-year-old's body was found in the water close to shore on hollywood beach in florida by a civilian walking on the beach early wednesday morning. police say he suffered a head
7:35 am
wound, possibly caused by a gunshot or another type of trauma. they're currently investigating his death as a crime. witnesses say he was found fully dressed and that personal effects were found on his body. whisenant had recently joined the u.s. attorney's office in january working in the major crimes unit. according to court records he had been handling several visa and passport fraud cases while also teaching a paralegal program at the university of miami. the u.s. attorney's office tells abc news we will miss him deeply. he was a wonderful lawyer and great colleague. no comment from the u.s. attorney's office about the circumstances surrounding his death. if this winds up being a case of foul play, he would join a short list of prosecutors killed on the job. according to a monument in texas that memorializes prosecutors, 14 have been murdered in the last 100 years. >> really? what are investigators telling you this morning, linsey? >> so detectives are saying they're looking into this either
7:36 am
as a homicide, suicide or something else trying to figure out. there are reports there was head trauma, but we're still waiting for them to release the cause of death. and the fbi is investigating here. >> absolutely, linsey, thank you. coming up here on "good morning america," just two minutes away an abc news exclusive. could a popular russian anti-virus software on your computer be a security risk? we'll be right back. back. (avo) come with us... ...to a new world. deeper than the ocean. as unfathomable as the universe. a world that doesn't exist outside you... ...but within you. where breakthrough science is replacing chemotherapy with immunotherapy. where we can now attack the causes of disease, not just the symptoms. where medicines once produced for all, are now designed to fit you. today 140,000 biopharmaceutical researchers go bodly to discover treatments and cures unimaginable ten years ago... ...and are on the verge of more tomorrow.

the senate intelligence committee demanded the trump administration address, quote, this important national security issue. >> we are very much concerned about this and about security of our country. >> reporter: here's the worry. to work effectively anti-virus software typically needs complete access to user files and hard drives. if misused it could be the ultimate insider threat. but even as a concern mounts abc news found not just private citizens but federal agencies like the u.s. bureau of prisons and some defense department systems using the russian software. >> the fact that a foreign company would be so penetrated into our supply chain, it poses enormous vulnerabilities. >> reporter: eugene kaspersky the man who founded the company, says such concerns are completely unfounded. >> we don't share our customers' data with anyone. >> reporter: speaking with us exclusively from moscow he rejected any claim his company is or would allow itself to be a tool of the russian government. >> the rumors about our partnership with the government
7:41 am
agencies, that's false. >> reporter: so if they asked you to spy on americans, if they asked you to spy on government agencies, your response would be what? >> my response if i'm asked to spy on anyone coming from any state, any government, not only russia, will be definitely no. >> robin, when i asked him about why so many are expressing concerns about his software, he said it's because his company's market share is increasing and, quote, someone doesn't like it. >> pierre, there have been some questions raised about the company's executive's past ties with the kgb? and the russian military? >> mr. kaspersky attended an academic institute associated with the kgb. he told me it was the best place to pursue his academic career, but you're right. a number of officials did work for the kgb and russian military but mr. kaspersky said they ended many years ago but some see it as a cause for concern.

7:45 am
he's kind of like austin powers but instead of an international man of mystery he's the international mystery of manners. and we -- i don't know if we can really, really tell the tale of all those things he did. >> you know what, matt, we can't help but notice a few interesting handshakes on this trip, as well. what is that about? >> you know, freud said sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but i think for donald trump, a handshake isn't just a handshake. i think it's his manner, which he has done over the years, pictures of him over the last 20 years, this is what he does, and he exerts dominance and how he acts. >> it's a very strong handshake. i think that's definitely duly noted. but there were stronger images visiting the western wall in jerusalem, matt. his meetings in the middle east so do you think some of these awkward moments have overshadowed or will have an impact on foreign relations? >> well, there's two audiences, one is the american public. i don't think the trip will have any effect on the american public because international
7:46 am
trips hardly ever affect the views of the american public. he's going to come back and next week we'll talk about something else he's in the middle of. the other audience more importantly is the leaders. i don't think he gained any stature among those leaders. i think you see pictures of smirks and people rolling their eyes, and so in those audiences, at best, it was neutral, and in some cases -- one thing he needs to do, he probably ought to hire a chief of protocol which he doesn't have which allows him to tell him what things he ought to do. what we tell our kids before they go to kindergarten, don't do this. don't cut in line. say this. he needs a chief of protocol. >> all right, matt, i think you just auditioned for the job. there you go. >> exactly. >> you passed the test. all right, thank you, matt. now to the clash of the basketball titans. lebron james and steph curry are set to go head-to-head again in the nba finals after the cavaliers crushed the celtics last night, 135-102, setting up the third straight championship match-up between cleveland and
7:47 am
the golden state warriors and on the way, lebron james passed michael jordan as the league's all-time playoff scoring leader and the new champ who wears the number 23 as a tribute to jordan. talking about it after the game, this is what he had to say. >> i think i fell in love with the game because of mike. just seeing what he was able to accomplish. but i felt like mike was so, you know, when you're growing up and you're seeing michael jordan it's almost like a god so i would never believe i could be mike. >> well, he's well on his way to being just like michael jordan. some people think he's exceeded him already. as for the finals, james said he didn't even want to think about it because the warriors cause him a lot of stress, and espn's ryan smith joins us now. this is the first time in nba history that two teams are in the finals three years in a row, they're bringing probably the best two basketball players on the planet in steph curry and lebron james. >> you got that right, michael. a three match. who doesn't love that.
7:48 am
a four-time mvp in lebron facing off against a two-time mvp in steph curry, and these guys took it to a game seven last year when they went at it. each one won a title each the other. so this year will determine who is boss. the big story in all of this, the side story that people talk about, is kevin durant. golden state took him to a game seven last year and added another mvp to their lineup. so when you talk about nba super teams it's the two of these guys and to me this is a match -- a match made in nba heaven. >> i got to ask, you got two dominant players, two dominant teams, three years in a row, is this a good thing or is this a bad thing? i'm just saying. i'm asking the question some people are asking. robin thinks it's a good thing. >> robin is upset. >> yeah, robin is upset. don't be. i got hope for you. i'm like you. i'm a guy from philly. you know what, hope looks like a far away thing for us. but if you look at this team, if
7:49 am
you look at the situation, it took lebron three years to make the playoffs and a bunch of years to win a title. the dubs in the beginning, and warriors weren't that great and took time to build up. what's key about lebron is he was a great player from the very beginning but it took time and had to surround him with a great team and eventually moved too miami and came back. but when you talk about the development of both of these teams, they had to be surrounded by great players. the great team made it work, and so for the teams out there who are on the outside looking in, there is hope because over a few years, you can make it to this level. >> there's hope. >> there's hope. they can be a dream team just like that dream team i see over there in times square. >> ah. >> thank you very much, man. we miss you by the way. very quickly, you guys, matt, you're included in this. who is going to win? who is taking it home, cavs or warriors? >> golden state. and the other thing, let's not forget, stanley cup finals start. pittsburgh -- >> pittsburgh won game seven last night. >> yes, they did. well done, matt. >> who you got, ryan?
7:50 am
>> dubs in six, kevin durant, steph curry, too much to overcome, mike. >> wow, okay. >> all right. i'm not going to ask you because i know how you feel about it. everybody, nba finals are coming to abc, game one is next thursday at 9:00 p.m. eastern. >> is robin going to talk to me after this? >> i know. we have to go over here and bridge that. and coming up, we have the new warning about one of the most popular toys out there. what every parent needs to know about fidget spinners. and everybody get ready. because we have florida georgia line and nelly in central park and as robin said earlier we are going to cruise into the holiday weekend. sdmoo bin said earlier we are going to cruise into the holiday weekend. coming up "gma's" summer concert series presented by king's hawaiian. irresistible since 1950.
