that state. and the washington capitals are heading to their first stanley cup final in 20 years. their championship series begins monday night. those are some of our top stories on this thursday, may 24th. from abc news, this is "world news now." and we do say good morning everyone. we're going to start this half hour with the tale of two intel briefings. >> democrats were left out but they'll now be part as a group of the gang of eight. the other will only be republicans. >> the president continues his unsubstantiated claims about an informant looking into his campaign. here is jonathan karl. >> reporter: it started with a few tweets, and now with no apparent evidence president trump is loudly proclaiming that

the fbi and justice department planted spies in his 2016 campaign. the tweets came in rapid succession, calling the alleged conspiracy one of the biggest scandals in history, perpetrated by a quote, criminal deep state. a spy put there by the previous administration for political purposes, with no known evidence any of that happened, the president was asked today for proof. >> all you have to do is look at the basics and you'll see. it looks like a very serious event. i hope it's not true, but it looks like it is. >> reporter: i asked the president, who could possibly be behind such a thing. >> well, i don't want to get into it yet, but i tell you after we look at -- >> reporter: president obama? >> would he know? i would certainly hope not, but i think it's going to be pretty obvious after a while. >> reporter: he then pointed to something president obama's director of national intelligence said on "the view".

>> if you look at clapper, he sort of admitted they had spies in the campaign. >> reporter: that's not what clapper said. >> was the fbi spying on trump's campaign? >> no, they were not. they were spying on, a term i don't particularly like, but on what the russians were doing. >> reporter: the allegations were triggered by a report that an fbi informant questioned two campaign advisers about their contacts with russian operatives. the use of such informants is routine. there's no mention of a spy infiltrating the campaign. but this is not the first time the president has talked about espionage or surveillance without evidence. he suggested there were tapes of his conversations with james comey. the white house later said there were none. he said without further proof that the trump tower was tapped. he was asked if these spygate allegations were an attempt to undercut the russia investigation. >> no, no. what i'm doing is a service as to this country. >> reporter: meanwhile jared kushner has his security

clearance finally. something he's been trying to get for 15 months. this happened after he went in for a second meeting with robert mueller that included extensive questioning about kushner's foreign contacts during the campaign and the transition. this could be a good sign for kushner, because apparently nothing in that interview raised enough of a red flag to prevent him from getting that security clearance. jonathan kaabc news, the white house. in the meantime, the president is considering a 25% tax on car imports, under the s tariffs on steel and aluminum. he asked the commerce secretary to determine whether the imports pose a threat to national security. the move may be seen as a leverage in stalled trade talks with mexico and canada.

hours later before taking the court, the bucks' rookie was asked about the mark on his face. >> are you able to confirm the bruise and scab on the center of your face is from that incident? >> like i said, you know, sir, it's an issue i'm dealing with right now. that's all i really want to say right now. >> reporter: the 22-year-old is the son of a retired illinois police officer. brown says he plans to take legal action against the milwaukee police department. brown was never criminally charged, but he did get a parking ticket after all this. he says he hopes his coming forward will stop others from becoming victims. alex perez, abc new, milwaukee. turning now to the newest and perhaps most shady dating tactic out there. >> it's called orbiting. and it's more brutal than ghosting where people disappear. here's brad mielke looking into it. >> we're here in the "start here" studios. you've heard of ghosting. you go on dates and the person vanishes? there is a weirder version of this called orbiting. when the person won't answer

>> reporter: what started as one officer engaging with a black man over a routine parking violation turns violent in an instant. >> taser, taser, taser! >> reporter: milwaukee bucks player sterling brown tased on the ground. surrounded by police officers in a matter of minutes. the incident caught on body camera. for some this highlights the everyday dangers faced by black men in this country. the incident began in the early morning hours of january 26. according to the police report, an officer from the milwaukee police department was doing a business check at a walgreen's on the south side of milwaukee. he then spotted a mercedes parked horizontally across two handicapped spaces. the driver of that car was sterling brown. >> how you doing? you got a driver's license? where's that? back up. you don't see the issue here? hold on.

>> reporter: the officer then calls for backup. >> can i get another squad here? >> reporter: according to the police report, the officer asks brown repeatedly to step back, but brown refuses, becoming, quote, very aggressive. >> what's your name? >> reporter: but in the body cam video, brown appears calm. >> these are simple questions, man. >> reporter: then several law enforcement officers arrive on the scene. >> i just wanted one. >> reporter: appearing surprised, even the initial officer. >> the fact that so many showed up really speaks to the tone-deafness of the officers on the scene, not realizing that their presence, in a way, it causes escalation. >> reporter: it is this type of use of force that colin epernick was referring to nearly two years ago when he first sat on the bench during the national anthem at a nfl game. many of his colleagues followed suit by taking a knee, and just today --

>> we made modifications to our anthem policy. >> reporter: the nfl took a stand saying that players and personnel on the field must stand and show respect for the flag and the anthem. but the policy does give those who wish to protest one choice. if you don't want to stand, you can stay in the locker room until the song is over. no matter where you stand on this controversial issue, this new video of an nba star being tased is potent evidence that the issue of race and policing is not going away anytime soon. >> the nba has that same policy. some thinking it's a great idea. others thinking they should be able to kneel. >> and they can stay in the locker room. >> they do have that option. >> as for the sterling brown issue, he's looking into his legal rights. some wonder why did he keep his

hands in his pockets that entire time especially knowing what can happen. >> it's easy to look in hindsight to see that the situation is harmless but the police don't know that at the time. a lot of miscommunication, clearly. and now to north korea which is threatening to pull out of the summit with president trump for the second time in a week. >> a top official in kim jong un's regime made the threat this morning citing a statement by mike pence. pence suggested north korea could end up like libya if it doesn't give up its nuclear program. now the north korean official called that ignorant and stupid and called pence a political dummy. their words. the trump administration says it is working still to make the june 12th meeting happen. and the justice department is holding back to back intelligence meetings in the wake of president trump's claims that his campaign was infiltrated by spies. the second briefing was added after democrats complained about being excluded. the first meeting will be attended by top justice officials, john kelly and republican allies.
