no recent president in really modern history in the last few decades has issued a pardon in their first two years in office. you mention some of those names. it seems there are more to come, and his team has a list of what can be described to me, as dozens of names for people who might be up next. congressional democrats are raising red flags about this and sent a letter to the white house counsel yesterday, one of the questions that they asked is whether the president has discussed pardoning anyone implicated in the russia probe and you know that some critics are suggesting that, in fact, this might be a way of the president sending a signal to some of those people caught up in this investigation, george. >> yeah, and he seems to be bypassing the normal important process in the justice department. on another front for the first time we heard ivanka trump may have had some involvement in that effort to build a trump tower in moscow during the 2016 campaign. >> reporter: yeah, her name has not come up in connection with any russian connections or interactions for that matter, in this entire story line, so this happened during the 2016 campaign and she received an e-mail from a russian athlete who offered to introduce her father to vladimir putin so that

they might be able to hatch out some kind of real estate deal. her lawyer put out a statement saying this was an unsolicited e-mail and forwarded it to the president's attorney. take a look at that statement, he says, quote, over the years the trump organization considered and evaluated projects in countries all around the world and nothing was different or wrong about one that might be in russia. but, george, this reportedly has caught the attention of the special counsel's team and congressional investigators who did some interviews on this one. >> asking more questions. cecilia, thanks very much. as the russia investigation continues, a new report from the inspector general of the justice department is expected to include some tough criticism for former fbi director james comey over his handling of the clinton e-mail investigation. this report expected to be released any day, and our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has the details. >> reporter: good morning. former fbi director james comey known for his fierce independence, likely taking heat in the upcoming report for exceeding his authority. >> i'm here to give you an fbi update of secretary clinton's use of a personal e-mail system. >> reporter: that bombshell

conference at the heart of criticism from the inspector general in a draft of the highly anticipated report. sources telling abc news the inspector general takes comey to task for not telling his bosses at the justice department that he had decided clinton should not be prosecuted. >> i have not coordinated this statement or reviewed it in any way with the department of justice or any other part of the government. they do not know what i'm about to say. >> reporter: comey has defended his decision, wanting to separate the fbi from allegations of bias lobbed at the justice department. >> our system is, in fact, rigged. it's totally rigged, okay? it's corrupt. it's rigged. it's disgraceful. >> reporter: his press conference came days after the story broke. the former attorney general loretta lynch met with president bill clinton at a phoenix airport during the campaign. >> i screwed up a couple of things, but in the main, i think given what i knew at the time, these were the decisions that were best calculated to preserve the values of the institutions. >> reporter: comey's also criticized for his october

surprise, telling congress that he was re-opening the clinton e-mail probe only 11 days before the election. this, after allegedly being advised not to do so by a senior justice department official according to sources familiar with the report. it's longstanding justice department policy not to make politically charged announcements in the final days before an election. a source familiar with the draft report describing comey's actions as insubordinate. comey declined to comment. he was allowed to respond to the report's initial findings. it's unclear whether that impacts the final report, george. >> okay, pierre, thanks very much. amy? george, now the latest on president trump's historic summit with north korean leader, kim jong-un just five days away. president trump is meeting now with japan's prime minister at the white house today to prepare and our chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz just landed in south korea with all the latest for us. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, amy. here in south korea, they are watching summit preparations carefully hoping some offhanded

comments don't derail the summit once again. less than a week before president trump and kim jong-un meet face-to-face, rhetoric surrounding the on again -- >> working out times. >> reporter: -- off again -- >> i am waiting. >> reporter: -- summit heating up once more. trump lawyer rudy giuliani making this inflammatory remark wednesday. >> kim jong-un got back on his hands and knees and begged for it. >> reporter: just hours later he attempted to clarify the comment saying it was only meant to convey that trump is in the stronger position. >> kim jong-un changed his position, said he would do de-nuclearization. again, we don't have the conditions yet, but at least that's a big shift and asked to have the meeting again and that's what i mean by begging for it. >> reporter: but the rhetoric has had no effect on planning in singapore with security and logistics preparations going full speed ahead. there has been no public comment

from north korea. but later today, japan's prime minister shinzo abe will be meeting president trump at the white house. amy. >> all right, martha raddatz, thank you in seoul, south korea and, george, you'll be anchoring abc's coverage of the north korea summit live from singapore all next week. michael. >> can't wait to see that. thank you, amy. now to an off the field battle for the boston red sox. a fan taking the team to court suing after a foul ball hit her in the face, claiming the red sox didn't do enough to protect her and other fans. abc's gio benitez has the story. >> i had never heard of anybody being hit with one, no. >> reporter: stephanie taubin taking the stand in a massachusetts courtroom describing the moment that a foul ball hit her in the face while watching the boston red sox play the minnesota twins at fenway park in 2014. >> the feeling of shock and emotion of, oh, my god, what just happened. >> reporter: taubin now suing team owner john henry and the red sox for negligence.

she's asking for $9.5 million saying the foul ball entered an area that was previously protected by a glass barrier that had been removed and not replaced alleging that gave her facial fractures and neurological damage. >> i heard my bone, the bones in my face crack and i just felt an enormous amount of pain. >> reporter: an estimated 1,700 fans are hurt each year by batted balls at major league baseball games. that's at least twice every three games. >> look out. oh, my goodness. >> reporter: just last year a little girl was hit by a foul ball at yankee stadium. her father saying she suffered multiple facial fractures and bleeding in her brain. and the red sox telling abc news that the team and owner john henry have always viewed fan safety as a fundamental priority but they can't comment any further while this case is in trial. meanwhile, just a few months ago, all 30 mlb teams extended

the netting at ballparks because they were seeing more and more of these injuries. >> it only makes sense to extend it. on the back of the ticket if something happens there's nothing you can do about it. >> it mentions batted balls on the back of the ticket. thank you so much, gio. >> thanks, gio. now to the nba finals and that big win for the golden state warriors overnight. they're just one win away from taking it all. abc's t.j. holmes is in cleveland and, t.j., a disappointing night for the cavs and for my two teammates. is a three-game lead impossible to overcome? >> reporter: how should i put this, robach. their motto here for the playoffs in cleveland is whatever it takes. they have it plastered all over the arena and they tweet with whatever it takes but it will take a miracle. even on a night when steph curry couldn't make a shot, another warrior superstar went off. >> james, up and under, throws it off the backboard. oh, what a perfect pass. >> reporter: with this alley-oop

to himself. >> a tremendous god-given ability. >> reporter: lebron james made the play of the night. >> off the backboard. >> reporter: kevin durant, though, was the player of the game. >> kevin durant way outside. delivers! kevin durant from downtown. it's a six-point game. >> reporter: the warriors superstar lit up the cavaliers with 43 points. >> durant fires a three. knocks it down. kevin durant. >> just tried to come through and be aggressive just to do something, you know. >> reporter: the warriors pulled off an eight-point win in game three on a night steph curry's hot hands went ice cold. >> tonight was not my night offensively. itas his night and talk about him all night. he was amazing. >> reporter: cleveland has no room for error with the warriors now just one game away from the championship. >> it was like playing the patriots. you just can't have mistakes. they're not going to beat themselves. >> reporter: all right, so back to your word "impossible," robach. 131 times before in nba history a team has gone down 3-0 in a playoff series. strahan, george, none of those teams have ever won that playoff series. so when you are saying

impossible, it's just never happened before. >> not the same thing. >> exactly. so, t.j., you're saying we got a chance. >> reporter: there's a chance. >> whatever it takes, t.j. all right, thank you so much. you can see game four of the nba finals tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc. let's go over to ginger. >> we have to start with this hypnotic video of a tornado captured in laramie, wyoming. thankfully no injuries or damage reported which is hard to imagine when you see the thing from the wide and up close shot there. we do have severe weather, a threat today. i'll show you more of that later. stormy cities now brought to you by sherwin williams paint.

let's get you to some help. >> reporter: in fact, medical experts emphasizing that that's the critically important message that we should take away from the loss of kate spade, that is the need to talk and shatter that stigma around mental illness and that we check on those who may be suffering maybe even boldly asking them about the possibility of suicide or self-harm. a painful conversation but they say it possibly could save lives and, guys, it's so important that if you know somebody who might be dealing with this kind of pain there actually is a national suicide prevention lifeline and a number here that you can call because that is the takeaway, they say. we need to talk. >> yep. >> people often don't hear that. >> so true. >> 100%. deborah, thank you so much for that. coming up, the big mystery, the parents are wondering how their toddler kept busting out of bed and what they finally discovered on their baby cam. we'll be right back. their baby cam. we'll be right back. uh, all the cars? all the cars. old cars? yes.

paying lip service and calling it a, quote, fig leaf. it was a firestorm that sacked the nfl. domestic violence cases, dominating the headlines. starting with ray rice's brutal attack on his then fiancee in this 2014 footage obtained by tmz sports. the former baltimore ravens player knocking her unconscious then dragging her out of an elevator. >> the same mistakes can never be repeated. we will get our house in order first. >> reporter: but this morning, a leading domestic violence authority criticizing not the nfl, but the players association resigning from its commission on domestic violence claiming it dropped the ball. >> they put this commission together, but and i think there are people of good will at the nfl p.a. but in fact, there wasn't the will to do meaningful reform. >> reporter: in a "washington post" op-ed georgetown law professor deborah epstein said she was thrilled to join the commission to study and rectify the nfl's domestic violence

epidemic. >> the most disappointing thing was that every idea that i brought to the nfl players association, they talked about embracing but ultimately let die. >> reporter: her experience quickly turned deeply frustrating. as recommendations were met with radio silence. the commission she says meeting just three times in the last two years. authorizing a single study and then burying it. >> if we can start to hold football players who are the gladiators of american society, american heroes, if we can start holding them accountable for the violence they perpetrate against women, we will really be effecting change that will trickle down and affect women all over this country. >> reporter: epstein also pointing out teams continue to draft players despite allegations of assault like cincinnati bengals running back joe mixon. >> do you have any regrets at all to anything, joe? >> no. >> reporter: drafted in 2017, three years after this video was

released of him punching a coed breaking four bones in her face after a confrontation got out of control. the players union firing back telling abc news, we have implemented many of the commission's recommendations. but also placing blame at the nfl's feet. we are labor and the nfl is management. we cannot unilaterally impose any recommendation without the nfl's buy-in. this has been a source of frustration for us and for the commission for some time now. responding to the players union the nfl tells us, quote, we are not aware of recommendations from that committee or the nfl p.a. to improve our programs and it says it continues to educate its staff, team, players and the public about domestic violence and sexual assault prevention as well as identifying steps that can prevent them before they occur. >> not aware at all? >> what's that? >> not aware at all? >> not aware of what that committee was doing but the nfl p.a. was doing one thing and the nfl might have other committees so might be a communication gap there. >> okay, ryan, thanks very much.

let's go over to amy. >> all right, george. thank you. turning to an important new warning for drivers. aaa out with a new report about driving on worn tires in wet weather and how it could but you at significant risk. our senior transportation expert david kerley has all those details you need to know. good morning to you, david. >> reporter: good morning, amy. you know, our modern cars have such great safety systems these days, automatic braking, stability control but safety comes where the rubber hits the road is really true and this morning, a new recommendation about when you should change your tires. this kind of out-of-control spin on wet roads leading to a new warning this morning from the aaa. researchers tested a vehicle with new tires and worn tires and side by side you can see the car with the older ones takes much longer to stop on a wet track before hitting a dummy. in fact, when the new tire vehicle stops the one with the old set is still traveling at nearly 40 miles an hour and this happened with a tread depth that would have been legal in all

states. >> you just can't stop? >> well, you can. it just takes much longer and, in fact, the distance is roughly equivalent to that of a semitruck over 80 feet longer. >> reporter: the general rule is that a tire with a tread less than 2/32 of an inch must be replaced. but this aaa test was with a tread twice that depth and still the vehicle took nearly a third of a football field to stop. >> the tread of the tire, its only purpose in life is to get water away so the tire can remain in contact with the road so you have to maintain that tread depth. >> reporter: so this morning, based on the research, aaa is again calling for a higher standard replace tires earlier. upending that old test of using a penny and abe lincoln's head. the recommendation is now to use a quarter and washington. if you see all of george's head your tread is getting into the

danger zone. >> when you get down to this level of tread -- >> it's time to start shopping for new tires. >> use the quarter instead of the penny? >> absolutely. >> we're just using the quarter as a measuring device. you can see it's the distance from the top of washington's head to the edge of the coin. put it in and measuring. if you can see -- if you can see all of his head it's time to replace the tire. this tire needs to be replaced because this tread is all about shedding the water away from your tire. this is just a recommendation, amy, but it's a pretty smart one to keep you safe. >> it certainly is, david. thanks so much for bringing that to us. we appreciate it. we're going to turn over now to ginger. it's time for your "gma" moment. you guys ready to do this? on a thursday morning, we thought why not show something unbelievable. that is penny, the cat who loves that is penny, the cat who loves to go paddle-boarding in the florida keys. yeah, that's all but watch this. you ever seen a cat do this. jump in and start swimming. i know. i was amazed. it really is a cat.
