about donald trump jr. and russia and there is breaking news out of mississippi. >> that's right, a marine airplane crashing in a field killing all 16 people on board. abc's david kerley is in washington. has that story for us. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this horrific crash one of the deadliest military aviation accidents in recent times. local authorities saying 16 dead and few clues as to what happened to the refueling aircraft which fell out of the mississippi skies. the kc-130, which is a refueling and cargo aircraft, slammed into the ground in a soybean field north of jackson, mississippi. this thick cloud of smoke marking where the spiraling aircraft impacted the ground. one witness heard a boom about 4:00 in the afternoon with clear skies and watched the aircraft start corkscrewing to the ground with one of its four engines smoking. the marine corps saying just moments ago that this was a reserve aircraft that took off from cherry point, north carolina, and disappeared off radar over mississippi. local emergency crews say wreckage was found miles away,

which suggests the aircraft was significantly high when something went wrong but so many killed. 17 years ago, 19 marines were killed when an osprey killed during testing. this was the most devastating noncombat military accident since then. >> isn't this an aircraft that has a very strong safety record? >> reporter: it is. this is the cargo workhorse of the military. a derivative of the c-130. it can land on short runways. very reliable. and the morning -- this morning the question is really, was this mechanical or what happened to force the plane out of the sky? >> of course we're thinking of all the families impacted by this. >> what a horrifying accident. we move on to those major new questions about russia and the trump campaign. "the new york times" is reporting donald trump jr.'s meeting with a russian lawyer, a meeting to receive damaging information about hillary clinton, was set up after he received an e-mail indicating information was part of a russian government effort to help elect his father. he's now hired a criminal lawyer

to respond and he said he's happy to cooperate with the senate investigation ramping up. this morning the intelligence committee will interview trump campaign staffers. jon karl starts us off with that e-mail that could turn out to be the most damaging document yet for president trump. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. this new report for the first time says that donald trump jr. not only met with a lawyer tied to the kremlin, but he was told in that e-mail that the lawyer had information from the russian government intended to help his father's campaign. "the new york times" report citing three anonymous sources is damning. it says before donald trump jr. agreed to meet with a russian lawyer during last year's campaign he was told in an e-mail that the lawyer had information that came from the russian government. information intended to help his father's campaign against hillary clinton. but that lawyer told nbc that she was not acting on behalf of the kremlin and never offered compromising information about mrs. clinton. >> it's quite possibly maybe

they were looking for such information. they wanted it so badly. >> reporter: the meeting which took place in trump tower, two weeks after trump clinched the republican nomination, was attended by don junior, trump's son-in-law jared kushner and paul manafort then chairman of the trump campaign. don junior did not disclose the meeting until recently and on saturday he said it was about russian adoption and later acknowledged that the russian lawyer had promised damaging information about hillary clinton. he tweeted on monday the meeting went nowhere but he had to listen. but now the meeting is a subject of the senate intelligence committee's investigation into russian meddling. >> this is the first time that the public has seen clear evidence of senior level members of the trump campaign meeting with russians to try to obtain information that might hurt the campaign of hillary clinton. >> reporter: don junior says he's willing to cooperate,

tweeting happy to work with the committee to pass on what i know. revelations in "the new york times" add another dimension to the story that don junior not only met with the russian lawyer but was told she had information from the kremlin to help his father's campaign. but just weeks after his meeting with that lawyer, donald trump jr. attacked the very idea of any connection between his father's campaign and the russians. >> they'll say anything to be able to win this. i mean this is time and time again, lie after lie, it's disgusting. >> reporter: donald trump jr.'s newly hired attorney issued a statement overnight. saying in my view this is much ado about nothing. and that don junior agreed to the meeting after an akw acquaintance sent an e-mail suggesting, quote, people had information concerning alleged wrongdoing by hillary clinton. the bottom line is that don jr. did nothing wrong. he said he didn't know the identity and we don't know if

any damaging information about hillary clinton was exchanged and "the times" reports that there is no evidence that the information promised had anything to do with that russian led hack of the democratic national committee. >> right, just that it came from the kremlin. okay, jon karl, thanks very much. let's talk more with dan abrams and our chief investigative correspondent brian ross and, brian, let me begin with you. we know that donald trump had been trying for a long time to do business in russia and that donald trump jr. was his point person. >> well, that's right, george. donald junior has pushed efforts on behalf of his father to expand the trump organization business russia and make a deal and build a trump tower in moscow and push the trump brand with trump vodka and trump owned miss universe pageant and he traveled there in six times and told a russian audience that they see a lot of russian money pouring in. in addition to the meeting at trump tower with the russian lawyer last june, he later paid $50,000 in october to fly to paris and appear at a seminar organized by an obscure pro-russian think tank.

donald junior meeting is just one of a number of examples which russian operatives tried to get close. or penetrate the trump campaign and circles and offered what spies would call dangles. payments or possible opportunities. general michael flynn, carter page and, of course, longstanding ties to paul manafort. >> we do know they made contact despite previous white house denials. >> lots of contacts and efforts by the russians to get in. >> let's talk about the law. it's illegal for anyone in a campaign to solicit or accept anything of value from a foreign national. the question is did that happen in this meeting? >> so collusion with russia is not a crime defined in the law. but there is campaign finance law, there's election law and that law says that a foreign national can't give something of value. now, it's been clearly interpreted that giving negative information like this, i think, would be -- >> so it's not just a check.

>> it doesn't have to be money. i think giving negative information on hillary clinton would undoubtedly be considered something of value in the context of the law but takes two to tango and you need somebody else on the other side who is either soliciting, accepting, requesting, providing substantial assistance in getting that illegal money funneled in and that's the question with regard to donald trump jr. >> and that could be why the lawyers and donald trump jr. have said, well, she's made a couple of statements but it turned into nothing. >> that's right. but still that doesn't necessarily get him off the hook legally. if there is a determination that he was soliciting, meaning requesting or asking for it, that could be enough. >> okay. dan abrams, brian, thanks very much. let's go over to robin. now to the health care battle. protests breaking out as lawmakers return to capitol hill. senate republicans are now working on a revised version of their bill but opposition continues to grow and our congressional correspondent mary bruce is in washington with the latest.

good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning. senate republicans are back from their break and now the race is on to save their health care bill. they have just 14 days left if they hope to get this done before the august recess, but this morning the bill seems to be losing steam. the opposition is growing and so are the protests. senate republicans were welcomed back to capitol hill with this. [ chanting ] >> reporter: protesters speaking out against the republican health care bill, blocking hallways, taking over offices.. >> you are killing people. >> reporter: with frustration growing across the country the bill is in serious jeopardy. opposition from within the republican party is growing. they can afford to lose just two republican votes. but at least ten gop senators are now a no. >> what do you think, is this going to get done? >> we'll see. >> is this bill going to survive? >> we'll see and i guess the real question, what form? >> reporter: the pressure to deliver is mounting. president trump tweeting, i cannot imagine that congress would dare to leave washington without a beautiful new health care bill fully approved and ready to go.

now, republicans are still negotiating and they plan to release a revised bill in the coming days. now, one option that's on the table would allow insurers to offer cheaper paired down plans that don't cover many of those essential health services but other republicans say that could effectively annihilate protections for those with pre-existing conditions and republican leaders are hoping to have a vote next week but, with a lengthy to do list of other priorities, as one republican told me it may be time to fish and cut bait. let's bring in republican strategist sarah fagen also as you know a cnbc contributor. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> so can the republicans get it done this time? what will be different this time possibly? >> well, i think necessity is the mother of invention and republicans for seven years have campaigned on getting obamacare repealed and replaced and they really do have to deliver. midterms are quite some time away yet. however, if they don't produce a health care bill this year, it's

going to be hard to do it next year, and i don't think they want to present themselves on the ballot in november of 2018 not having accomplished this. >> so, what could possibly be plan b, sara? >> well, i think, look, if they can't come to agreement even on some smaller version of reform here, i think one possible solution would be to go out to the american people and say, look, you know, we don't have consensus here, we are going to take more time and, you know, put some members of the house and the senate together to come up with a completely new package. one that president bush -- excuse me, president trump owns and champions and that united they get this done. they'd have to do it early next year but they have to do something. >> you bring up president trump. so, what are the stakes here for him in all this? >> well, i think for president trump really it's about keeping control of the house of representatives. these investigations into russian meddling and the

election and potential collusion are really tough but a democratic-controlled congress makes it so much tougher. >> all right, sara, always appreciate your perspective. thanks so much. okay, we're going to turn now to a terrorist here in the united states. a highly decorated u.s. soldier has been charged with trying to provide material to isis, believed to be the first active duty service member to face these kind of charges and pierre thomas is tracking the case. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning. the fbi says they arrested ikaika kang, a decorated soldier after becoming increasingly concerned that he would turn to violence in the name of isis. kang is a veteran of afghanistan and an active u.s. army sergeant and an expert marksman. according to the fbi, kang was arrested saturday shortly after telling an undercover agent posing as an isis radical that he wanted to take his rifle, magazines and kill a bunch of people, george. >> and, pierre, any sense of how he became radicalized? >> reporter: prosecutors

suggested that he was radicalized online. they say the fbi found 146 videos and 671 graphic files that reference isis and violence on his laptop, george. >> good thing they caught it. okay, pierre, thanks very much. all right, george, we'll post to new developments in the penn state hazing case. text messages sent, what they reveal in court and gio benitez has the latest. >> reporter: this morning newly released text messages show of the alleged back and forth communications between a large group of beta theta pi fraternity brothers as 19-year-old pledge tim piazza laid dying in a hospital. >> we have a friend who's unconscious. he's -- he hasn't moved and he's probably going to need an

ambulance. >> reporter: a detective showing this message from one of the men. "i don't want to go to jail for this. hazing is a huge thing." and another, "make sure the pledges keep quiet about last night." the detectives showing in court a google search by the pledge master, how would nine drinks in an hour affect a 200-pound guy? the piazza family attorney believes this new evidence proves the frat brothers knew what they did was wrong. >> in jim piazza's words there wasn't a moment today that i couldn't stop thinking about my son tim. >> reporter: the university telling abc news overnight, they're implementing new safety and reform initiatives which include looking at, monitoring, spot checks and adjudication of violations. and defense attorneys will question the detective much more today. the students will also be back here in court facing a range of charges including involuntary manslaughter. robin. >> i know you'll stay on that. gio, thank you. we'll more on and talk about

the morning's other top stories. we start with an explosion in oklahoma overnight. >> an investigation outside an air force recruiting center. >> it's being invaes gates as possible act of the former doctor for the usa gymnastics organization accused of molesting more than 100 athletes is expected to plead guilty to porn charges. in return larry nassar will not be prosecuted for abuse. he faces more than 20 years in prison. and the faa is investigating a close call at san francisco's airport. an air canada flight was cleared to land but instead the pilot headed for a taxiway where four other planes were lined up to take off. air traffic control redirected the pilot just in time. well, there are new details about why poor sleep has been linked to the risk of alzheimer's. researchers say just one night of disrupting the deepest stage of sleep was enough to increase the levels of a protein believed to cause alzheimer's.

and the lack of proper sleep on a more prolonged basis led to the buildup of another protein associated with that disease. and finally, you never know what you will find during a renovation project. workers at a museum in new jersey unearthed three cases of wine in the museum cellar dating back to 1796. it is a portuguese madeira popular in the 18th century because it almost never spoils. each bottle is worth up to $25,000 but could sell for much more. the seal, the wax seals were unbroken, 221-year-old bottle of the wine. >> are they any good? >> they said they are. >> they said it tasted like cider. >> yes, and for $25,000 it could be yours. >> or more. >> amy, thank you. now to rob with the latest on those fires burning out west.

clues. vehicles belonging to two of the missing men. one car found in this garage part of an abandoned home that backs up to the search area. police taking a man whose family owns that land, 20-year-old cosmo dinardo into custody on an unrelated gun charge. his bond set at $1 million. >> i think this arrest of cosmo dinardo is a big deal. i will tell you, i've never seen a gun case in this country where the bond was set at a million dollars. so that tells you something right there that the police believe there's a lot more to this than just a gun charge. >> reporter: investigators also searching dinardo's family home before arresting him. their probable cause affidavit stating that dinardo was known to be suffering from mental illness and admittedly having been the subject of an involuntary commitment to a mental institution. an officer found him with a shotgun and ammunition on february 9th. >> it's sad because it's a

beautiful little town and, you know, you hear this all the time. you never thought something like this would happen here. >> reporter: now authorities at this point say they aren't ready to name a suspect. we have reached out to dinardo's family and his lawyer. we have not heard back. robin. >> eva, thank you very much. we'll talk much more about this with nancy grace who joins us. these four young men, they're thought to have known each other possibly. just your initial thoughts on this case so far? >> well, there's -- good morning and thank you for having me. there is no coincidence in my mind in a criminal investigation. you have three of these young men tied together. two of them are best friends. the third, an acquaintance, not as strong connection to the fourth but let me point out that it has recently been reported that one of them has been a facebook friend with dinardo.

that's very, very concerning. one of them a facebook friend. what does that mean? now, we know they're going on the right track because one cell phone has been tracked to this location. one car is there. another car in peddlers village, a shopping mall nearby, so they're in the right direction but i can tell you this, when you have seven authorities including the fbi looking for you and they're bringing in heavy equipment like backhoe, that's not good. >> no, it's not good. and that unrelated gun charge that brad garrett was talking about in eva's piece, a million dollar bond. that is unheard of. >> when i heard that, yeah, yeah, you don't have to teach law school at harvard to know this, on a gun charge, you get a million-dollar bail? no, huh-uh. number one, that gun charge had been filed a while back and

they didn't go forward. it was refiled and he into custody now, why, again, that is no coincidence. as they said this is like a needle in a haystack because this is a 68-acre corn farm. they could be anywhere. but there is hope. they could still be alive. >> we got to cling to that hope. where do you feel investigators go right now, nancy? >> i feel -- i feel that they have to follow up on the cell phones. they have to do triangulation and not just that, texting because, if they can unravel the motive that these four were together and in connection with dinardo, if they were, then they'll have an idea as to where they may be and why. >> all right, as authorities say they have hot leads so hopefully it will come to some conclusion soon. all right, thank you so much. nancy. you take care. have a good day. >> thank you, robin.

more than 10 million americans will take an overseas cruise this year. for many the vacation of a lifetime. but this morning, a sobering video that shows what can go wrong and how a law passed in the 1920s makes it hard to do much about it. the americans who boarded this amazon river boat in south america were told it was a brand-new vessel built to exceed safety standards and for christie and larry hammer of lincoln, nebraska, it was their ultimate adventure. >> they had worked for years and lived pretty frugally because they always looked forward to a retirement where they'd be exploring the world together. >> reporter: but on the very first night of the cruise, in april last year, sometime after midnight something went terribly wrong in the hammers' cabin. video from the ship's surveillance camera shows smoke beginning to come out of the room and in minutes the entire hallway is filled with smoke. bessie and randy rosenberg in a room down the hall said there were no fire alarms sounding. >> there were no alarm, no flashing lights. >> you couldn't see five inches

their case, the company would only be liable for their parents' funeral expenses. >> there's no place else in the world that you can kill somebody and really have no consequence. other than international waters. >> reporter: the cruise industry says it has an outstanding record in operational safety and imposing new and costly federal laws is unjustified and unnecessary. but now some in congress say the industry needs to be held more accountable. >> the crew, the management, everyone who has a responsibility for anyone on that ship ought to be held accountable when they fail to follow basic standards of care. >> in a statement to abc news, the company that ran the cruise said only it is deeply saddened by the hammers' death and that it continues to review its operations which the sisters hope will mean power strips that don't catch on fire and fire alarms that actually make a sound and work. george. >> at a minimum. okay, brian, thanks very much. let's go to michael.

that's amazing. >> i thought it was a cardboard cutout in the middle. >> no, i was like, wow, you found a girlfriend with two heads? bravo. >> that's one way of looking at it. sara, thank you for that. we turn to "gma" health alert and walk over to jen because we have two major headlines on breast cancer and coffee. a new study shows coffee drinking could significantly cut your risk of dying from a number of diseases. and on the breast cancer front an innovative new test that could guide important treatment decisions. and that's why jen ashton is here to talk about it. two big ones. the breast cancer study. >> a new test called mammoprint and this study looked at women who had early stage, invasive breast cancer who were in a gray zone in terms of treatment. weren't super high risk. they weren't super low risk and using this test, they helped to determine whether or not these women should receive

chemotherapy or not. and they found it could accurately place those women in the appropriate treatment group with no difference in five-year survival so potentially could help spare women who don't really need the benefit of chemo from chemotherapy. >> i have to say when i was diagnosed in 2007 and wondering, i'm like, it's not one size fits all. how do you know this is the best for me? genetic testing is something we're hearing a lot not just with breast cancer. >> that's right. we're hearing a lot about it because this is where the main focus in oncology and cancer is. as you said not just with breast cancer but all cancer. meme have heard of the brca gene. the angelina jolie. increases the risk of breast cancer but many other genes do the same thing and women can have their blood tested in terms of a screening so to speak but testing the tumors of cancer for their genetic fingerprint as well. so it's personalized therapy. >> and you still, no matter who you are, should know your history. >> history is important.

when you talk about breast cancer and have talked about it before, there are things you can control. the things that can increase a woman's risk that are not under our control. the age at our first period. the age at the birth of a first child, did the woman breast-feed? were there breast biopsies? and the age a woman goes through menopause, we can't change those. there are factors that under our control so limiting alcohol intake is very important. keeping your weight in a healthy range and exercising all shown to lower the risks. so it's about controlling what you can control. >> right. every time we do a segment i get a lot of tweets. men get breast cancer, too, we always need to remember that. >> yes. tell us about coffee. >> all right. >> what's up with that? >> the best part of our day. two very big studies looked at a lot of people, long term follow-up. they took into account smokers and looked at decaf and regular. they found across the board, again, conclusive evidence that people who consume coffee up to four or more cups a day have a lower risk of death from all causes and deaths from -- look at this list -- yes. >> what? [ applause ]

>> please give me all the credit for delivering this news. lowered risk of death from heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease. again, very, very -- >> how much coffee do you have to drink for this? >> again, it's premature. these are based on association and observation. we need to show cause and effect but appears three to five cups a day or up to 400 milligrams of caffeine can be safe. this is what i consume in a day. let me just take this with me after i leave here, robin. >> this is what amy consumes in an hour. she's good to go. >> it works for her. >> sure does and for you too, thanks so much. guys? >> thank you, robin. i'm over here trying to stay alive. over here trying to live longer. one thing you did say men do suffer from breast cancer. my oldest brother had it so guys make sure you get yourselves checked out as well. now to more on the story that has made so many headlines. reality star blac chyna celebrating a victory in court after opening up to abc in that

38 states. what was your reaction when you first saw rob's posts about you? >> i was devastated and i'm looking at this and i'm like, how could somebody do this to me? >> reporter: chyna spoke exclusively to abc news on sunday when she alleged kardashian has gotten physical. >> rob has hit me before. yes. >> was that more recently? >> this was in april. >> reporter: but she says her focus now is her children. >> i'm just going to get back to co-parenting dream. >> rob kardashian referred to robert shapiro's public statement after court yesterday regarding all allegations against him. the next court date set for august 8th where chyna and kardashian will revisit the terms of the restraining order. it remains a family matter right now. we'll see if it becomes a civil or criminal issue. >> hopefully i guess it can get resolved very simply. >> it seems like it will. we'll go outside to rob marciano with more weather. >> hey, check it out, michael. first trip to new york city, ft. wayne, indiana. we got folks from florida. razorback fans. they're looking for t.j.

to maybe three pounds. >> what about the last one? >> all right, so this last one is full arm. you can really load on the weight here. so 8, 10, 15, 20 pounds, try it. we're going to do a single arm bicep. single arm and take both up and twist it up overhead. so you get the full arm engagement and you're really focused on your form when you're lifting heavier weight. set it up with single arm and then you can add both arms together. >> do multiple reps when you do a lower weight and fewer with a higher but do both. >> one focuses on strength and one on endurance. >> thank you so much, anna. >> thank you. >> all right, coming up as you head out on your road trip we reveal all the top driving songs of all time. >> i love it! ♪ i get around

[ cheers and applause ] joanna, express to us the feelings. this is based on your career. >> yes, it's completely terrifying. hopefully without any lawsuits to follow. but rather thrilling to be

portrayed by someone as talented as melora and i was obsessed with her emmy nominated role on "transparent" when thee played the rapacious tammy and thrilled when i heard she was up for the role and of course it's a total lose/lose situation for me because she's thinner and younger. what are you going to do? >> she's always so humble. >> wittier and smarter so it works -- >> it evens out. >> how is it to play somebody sitting right in that is here with us now? >> it's such a gift really because you know you usually have to find a character from sort of deep inside but i kind of just sit back and, you know, cross my arms and observe because she's such a power of nature and such an amazing woman and she really is kind of -- my character jack line carlisle is a mentor to these young ladies on the show and joanna is a mentor to me in the sense that, you know, she does the very thing that jacqueline does for these women which is that jacqueline is really empowering of them and she is supportive and she's nurturing and she's

kind. she sets a high bar. but she's also respectful and not unfair. >> can i say thank you very much. we need to see this on television and to see that women do indeed help one another, joe an ma. >> support each other and you think why are there no women leaders. 5% of fortune 500 companies, 20% of the senate. you think why are there no female leaders because we're stuck with in that women don't help each other and we know it's not true and in my own experience i've been hired by fabulous women, i've been supported by fabulous women and men. but the women aren't these bitches if i can say that on abc. it's just not true and in the fashion world it's also not true. fantastic, brilliant, warm funny friendly female designers. >> okay, because you know we hear in the fashion industry anything but. but you're saying this is -- you haven't had that experience. >> i have not had that experience. >> this is what is displayed on

the series. >> yes, along the same lines joanna was talking about i do believe it is not the exception anymore. it is the rule. that women are holding one another up. we are grabbing hand, we are more powerful as a union, right. women need to be together and we need to help each other up. men have gotten so good at that over the years. a woman gets fired. a man pats him on 9 back and says, okay, buddy, just move on. women for so long were not doing that. they wldr mode and that's the one little tiny place for me and now, you know, the word is opening up, women are 52% of the population and they're stepping into that place and their voices are being heard more loudly and doing things in such an incredibly capable way so it's wonderful to see a representation of that on television and what i love so much is thinking of little girls looking at this show and saying, i want to be a boss like that or i want a boss like that. >> you sound just like joanna coles right now.

doesn't she? like staring in the mirror. >> my best iteration. i hope she does. i do think it's important we have positive role models of women leaders. one of the other things that never happens with women leaders in popular culture, they never say how much they enjoy it. they never say they enjoy making the digs or enjoy being in charge and the truth is it's easier to be in charge than stuck in middle management somewhere. that's the message of the show and we want young women to watch it and feel empowered. i'm pleased "the new york times" calls it a cross between "sex and the city" and "girls" and the sex is lael sexier than the sex in "girls. >> joanna, melora, thank you very much. so excited. "the bold type" premieres tonight, tonight, tonight 9:00 p.m. eastern on freeform. performing live, live music for you coming back.
