same page when it came to that unanimous verdict. >> some have said that i made the right decision and some people have said that they still think that he's innocent. and i just tell them, if you were there, you would say the same thing. you would say he's guilty. >> reporter: linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> and that juror also denied that the me too movement had any influence on that verdict. he said he didn't even know what it was. >> he's a young'un. all right, coming up, the vacation nightmare for one family, but a hero was there to help. >> we're hearing from him next. as there to help. >> we're hearing from him next. he's a young'un. and the vacation tragedy. , which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase. your hair is so soft! did you use head and shoulders two in one? i did mom. wanna try it? yes. it intensely moisturizes your hair and scalp and keeps you flake free. manolo? look at my soft hair. i should be in the shot now too. try head and shoulders two in one.

but it is tuesday, may 1st. from abc news, this is "world news now." >> my favorite story of the day. i'm mad that we have to wait to get to it. >> i will not be denied. >> so good. we cannot wait to tell you about that one. but first, we have to get to some of the serious stuff, starting with the white house chief of staff, john kelly dismissing claims that he privately called president trump an idiot. >> kelly is calling the report total b.s. the president chimed in on twitter saying the fake news is going crazy. >> abc's cecelia vega has the details. >> reporter: white house chief of staff john kelly making a rare public statement to defend his relationship with his boss.

it comes after nbc news reported that kelly has repeatedly called president trump an idiot. in one meeting on immigration, kelly reported trashed the president saying he doesn't understand what daca is. he's an idiot. we have to save him from himself. nearly immediately, kelly fired back in a statement that says i spend more time with the president than anyone else and we have an incredibly candid relationship. he always knows where i stand, and he and i both know this story is total bs. he called it another attempt to smear people close to the president and distract from his successes. one aide backed the denial, telling abc news he never said that. kelly has come under fire for his handling of the ouster of former staff secretary rob porter, initially defending him as honorable amid allegations of domestic abuse. just last month, the president praised his chief of staff.

>> you know we have general kelly here, four star, and he's doing a great job in washington. >> reporter: but they have had their differences. in january, he seemed to publicly embarrass his boss over his number one issue, the border wall. >> he has evolved in the way he's looked at things. campaign to governing are two different things, and this president is very, very flexible in terms of what is within the realm of the possible. >> the president fired back on twitter, openly contradicting his right hand man saying the wall is the wall, it has never changed or evolved from the first day i conceived of it. general kelly has been on the job for nine months, and during that time there have been competing factions inside this white house, those who are loyal to him and those who've put a target on his back. at times the president himself has been upset with the general for putting limitations on who can access the oval office, who

can talk to the president. but in the wake of the story, sources close to the president are telling us that these two men for now anyway are on solid ground. cecelia vega, the white house. >> and as the white house denies any falling out between the general and the president, he is on the short list for v.a. secretary of state after ronny jackson withdrew his nomination. the trump campaign has reportedly spent more than $200,000 on legal fees for michael cohen raising questions that campaign laws may have been violated. there are some who say the payments may be allowed if they stemmed from the russia investigation. but the campaign may be in trouble if they were related to the matter involving the porn star, stormy daniels. in the meantime, daniels is taking further legal action against the president, suing him for defamation. she says the president made a false and disparaging statement in a tweet in which he referred

to her release of a sketch as a con job. daniels says that the sketch is of a man who threatened her in 2011 to keep quiet about her alleged affair with trump. she's also suing to invalidate the non-disclosure agreement that involved a $130,000 hush payment from michael cohen. and there's breaking news from the u.s./mexico border. authorities have started processing some members of the caravan that traveled from central america. more than 100 migrants are waiting near a border crossing near san diego. president trump says they are openly defying the u.s. and its laws. abc's matt gutman is there. >> reporter: that standoff at the mexican border intensifying. some scaling to the top of this border fence but not crossing. customs and border officials telling abc news, not a single asylum seeker has yet been processed. they have made a 2,000-mile, month-long trek from southern

mexico in bus and on foot. mari martinez says she and her family have been pursued by the gang ms-13. she told me if i stay in my country, i'll be killed. president trump tweeting the migrants are openly defying our border. >> are you watching that mess that's going on right now with the caravan? coming up? >> reporter: the migrants here say they won't give up. by far the longest part of the journey for any asylum seeker happens when they're actually in the united states. and that's the process of being granted or seekingsylum. it can take years and it hinges on something called a credible threat interview. basically, these migrants have to prove that they face persecution if they are sent back home. and the majority of them are sent home. matt gutman, abc news, tijuana, mexico. the vice president mike pence was visiting another part of the border about 100 miles away. he says the caravan is proof the u.s. needs to reform its

immigration laws and blamed activists for encouraging the migrants to make the long journey to the border. pence told officials that the administration will succeed in building a border wall at some point. at the same time, president trump's pick to head the agency that combats illegal immigration is leaving. thomas holman was nominated to be the permanent chief. under him, immigration arrests have surged some 40%. published reports indicate he does not get along with his boss. the secretary of homeland security. john mccain is apparently serving his last term. that's what he wrote in his upcoming book. he also writes about the president, saying the appearance of toughness seems to matter more than any of our values. mccain is in arizona recovering from the side effects of brain cancer treatment. before leaving the senate he writes, i would like to see us
