to come forward now because, quote, at a certain point you have to think about the greater good of humanity, of womankind. de la huerta is accusing weinstein of raping her twice in 2010. she told "vanity fair" back in november, i did say no, and when he was on top of me, i said i don't want to do this. >> i think it's compelling evidence. i think the witnesses gave a very credible narrative. >> reporter: while neither women initially reported the alleged assaults to police, their accusations are within the statute of limitations. they are among roughly 80 women who have publicly accused weinstein of rape, sexual assault or harassment. >> these cases are extraordinarily difficult to find people to get and ask them to come forward and make statements, so i salute them. >> this morning cnn is reporting that weinstein will be charged with rape. weinstein has denied all incidents of nonconsensual sex. north korea is still holding out hope the historic u.s. summit will take place at some point even after the president abruptly canceled it. >> the president's announcement came after kim jong-un

strongest sanctions ever imposed and maximum pressure campaign will continue as it has been continuing. >> reporter: it's the latest twist in the on again, off again saga between the two leaders who went from trading insults to pleasantries on the world stage and the world was watching, waiting to see whether the planned face-to-face on june 12th would continue to thaw the icy relationship between the two nations and lead to a denuclearized korean peninsula. with that meeting now off, president trump warning of america's massive and powerful nuclear capabilities. >> and our military which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world and has been greatly enhanced recently, as you all know, is ready if necessary. >> reporter: and the north koreans released a statement saying their anger and hostility is just backlash in response to unilateral denuclearization being pushed. they say that meeting is desperately needed, and they are

still willing to sit down with president trump. kendis, diane. >> all right. that's abc's janai norman there in d.c. thanks, janai. in the meantime, out of d.c. outrage from lawmakers after the president's chief of staff and his new white house lawyer showed up at an intelligence briefing on the russia probe. the president demanded an investigation and the briefings after insisting that the fbi infiltrated his campaign. but democrats invited to attend at the last minute said they saw nothing to bolster that claim. >> nothing we heard today has changed our view that there is no evidence to support any allegation that the fbi or any intelligence agency placed a spy in the trump campaign or otherwise failed to follow appropriate procedures and protocols. >> that said, the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell also admitted that he learned nothing particularly surprising from that briefing. the president's daughter and adviser has reportedly been granted full security clearance.
