it's good to be a laker fan. e .ot signing up for the tt doing lebron's classic move, pouring some chalk into the air. and lebron posted this clip on instagram thanking his hometown of cleveland for an incredible four seasons, but now he is taking his talents to los angeles. >> going to cali. >> oh, yeah. first, george, that big sit-down, exclusive interview you had with the president's former attorney michael cohen. he is breaking his silence. >> yeah, first time since the fbi raided his offices back in april. this was quite a weekend, quite an interview. let's set the stage first on who michael cohen is. remember, he is the president's longtime personal attorney, also his political fixer. he is in the middle of a lot of complicated cases. that stormy daniels case, the porn star. he was negotiating for the trump tower in moscow. and what he's always been is the loyalest loyalist for president trump. remember, he famously said he would take a bullet for president trump. that's what appears to be changing right now. i've spent hours with him over

the last several months, 45 minutes in a manhattan hotel room on saturday. and wanted to get into some of the specifics. starting out with one of the big questions i asked him, what will you do if prosecutors come to you and offer you leniency in return for information on president trump? now he said he wanted to respect the process. didn't get into specifics but he added this and he added this with emphasis. my wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will. i put family and country first. nothing there about loyalty to president trump. in fact, he didn't praise president trump at all during that 45-minute interview. i followed up with him again. i said, but, wa cond, michael, you're facing the real prospect of having to choose between protecting your family and protecting president trump. he says again, family is my first priority. now, we should say here again michael cohen has not been charged with anything yet. he has not faced any charges. but he has hired a new attorney.

and he did say that he would be -- once he understands what charges might be filed against me if any at all i will defer to my counsel, guy patrillo, for guidance on future response. this is important as well. up until now he has had different attorneys, attorneys who have been part of a joint agreement with president trump's attorneys. once guy patrillo comes on board that's expected to be at the end of this week, that joint agreement with president trump's attorneys is going to end. that is a significant move. i did not give up this central question, though, went back at cohen a third time and said, wait a second, michael. i've heard you say in the past you would take a bullet for president trump. i have heard you say you'll always be loyal. you'll do anything to protect him. all he said in response and he said this with emphasis, to be crystal clear, my wife, my daughter, and my son, and this country, this country, have my first loyalty. that is a very, very different message and, cecilia, one of the things

i said after hearing all this and on the record with this for the first time i said there is a good chance that president trump and his team are going to come after you. they're going to come after you hard. >> because they said he wouldn't flip. they did not think he would flip. >> and this is where he also stiffened his spine and visibly straightened up in his seat and then said this, i will not be a punching bag as part of anyone's defense strategy. i am not a villain in any story and won't allow others to try to depict me in that way. as i said, what we're seeing here is michael cohen as his own man, the trump loyalist breaking his silence, also seems to be breaking free in a real way. >> why do you think he's doing this? is he sending a message to the president? is he trying to cut a deal? why is he doing this? >> he said as far as cutting a deal he respects the process of the prosecutors. remember, he's not been charged with anything yet. in fact, he hasn't even talked to the mueller team. the mueller investigators. sending a signal to the

president, sending a signal to , the mueller investigators. sending a signal to the president, sending a signal to the country, sending a signal to his family i think as he said in that last statement right there, he feels he has been portrayed as the villain in this story. he's been holding that inside and he wants to get it out. >> so he is under investigation by the feds here in manhattan. they're looking into his business dealings including likely that payment to stormy daniels, that now infamous payment and we know that they've seized 4 million files, 13 i believe cell phones of his, but unlike president trump, he doesn't have harsh words for -- >> this was interesting. the president and his allies have compared the fbi raid to his allies at least have compared it to stormtroopers. the president called it a witch-hunt. very, very different message from michael cohen. he said, i don't agree with those who demonize or vilify the fbi. i respect the fbi as an institution as well as their agents. he said, in fact, when the fbi came to his hotel suite at the regency hotel back in april they were very courteous and very professional. in fact, he said when they left, he shook their hands.

what's at issue in the southern district likely is this nondisclosure agreement with stormy daniels, the porn star. michael cohen made that $130,000 payment to stormy daniels in return for her silence. in the past, he's always said that he did this on his own initiative. so i asked him during this interview, did president trump direct you to make that payment? did he promise, in advance, to reimburse you? here's what he had to say. i want to answer. one day i will answer. but for now i can't comment further on advice of my counsel. to me, that was a very, very big signal. >> wow, exactly. he is also ensnarled in the questions about russian meddling in the 2016 election, these two different investigations. robert mueller's investigation going alongside. he doesn't like the term witch-hunt. >> again, disagrees with the president. when i asked him, i said, the president is calling the mueller investigation a witch-hunt.

he said i don't like the term witch-hunt. as an american, i repudiate any foreign governments' attempt to interfere in our democratic process and i would call on all americans to do the same. in fact, he went on further. remember last week president trump put out a tweet on the russia investigation where he said president putin denied these allegations. this is something the president had said in the past. michael cohen took it on directly, simply accepting putin's denial is unsustainable. i choose to believe our intelligence agencies. again, a major break from president trump. i should say on the mueller investigation there have been a lot of allegations against michael cohen. did he go to prague to meet with russians? did he collude with russians in any way? he absolutely denies that, says he didn't have anything to do with russia even though he was negotiating on the trump tower in moscow. and he's confident that mueller will find he did nothing wrong, significantly, however, robert mueller's investigators have not yet reached out to michael cohen and done an interview. i also asked him about that infamous trump tower meeting, remember back in june 2016 where

members of the trump campaign met with russians -- >> don jr. and -- yeah. >> paul manafort, jared kushner, promising dirt on hillary clinton. he said he was not in that meeting. in fact he wasn't part of the campaign. but he was in trump tower. and i asked him directly, did president trump know about that meeting in advance? and here's what he had to say about that. he said, it was something, again, he could not answer. this is something he would want to answer in an official forum. so this was really remarkable here, the questions he wouldn't answer. >> really quickly, were you surprised at how direct and how strong his answers were? >> he wouldn't go into specifics on the cases but how strong he was in declaring his loyalty to family and country first, not president trump, very different message from we've heard in the past. dan abrams has been sitting here taking notes during this whole conversation. so what's your take on this? >> this is striking. you don't do this interview and say these things unless you're

looking for a possible deal with the southern district of new york. remember, this is not the same office as robert mueller. robert mueller sent this case to the southern district of new york, so in theory this is an office that reports to donald trump. and what i found so striking about your interview is the questions he would answer versus the questions he wouldn't answer. and the questions he would answer are the ones where it seems i think he feels safe, right? he is saying -- >> he didn't collude. he didn't do anything wrong. >> exactly. he's perfectly happy to talk about that and talk about how kind he thought the fbi agents were, which is sort of an amazing statement. he's saying -- they're raiding his office and he's saying how polite they were. but he won't answer all the questions which are the sorts of things that prosecutors are gohe holdingonho, probably on a

explaiwhat happeni there a m, listen, you dot ow if you're ghi n't knowhat you'llgewith. weivuphe whole game no s it ted prosecutors typically will say if they're charging someone, you know, okay, well, you know, is there anything you want to add? he hasn't been charged yet. so we're now in this purgatory where he hasn't been charged and yet it sure sounds like he's saying, but i've got information for you if you are going to charge me. >> remember, they've collected so many documents over the last several weeks and months. >> that raises another question which is attorney/client privilege. remember, he is not just donald trump's attorney. he is also donald trump's longtime business partner. and in matters where he was not serving as his attorney, the attorney/client privilege would not apply. >> final point, the significance

of breaking this defense pact he's been in with president trump's attorneys. >> that sends a clear signal we're no longer in this together. this now says, i am no longer part of donald trump's team when it comes to this defense because up to this point, they're sharing information and sharing documents. that's now going to end. his lawyer is someone who was a leader in this office. this very office -- >> the southern district. >> he may have even hired some of the people working on this case. so very important also to think about who he's now hired as his lawyer. >> big step over the weekend. dan, thanks very much. >> we'll wait to see what the president has to say on this. we want to turn to that race to find a young soccer team missing in thailand. they've been lost in a flooded cave for more than a week. but this morning, some hope. rescue workers are closing in on an area where they think the boys might be. a diver just revealed they found writing on the wall of one of those passageways which tells them they are going in the right direction. abc's james longman is on the scene for us this morning. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. this operation is in full swing. but it's a race against the weather.

a further downpour is scheduled later in the week. they have to get to that part of the cave they're hoping is still dry. inside the battle to find 12 young boys and their soccer coach missing for over a week in this flooded thai cave. rescue divers pulling themselves along ropes deep inside, fighting against powerful currents. this morning the country's elite naval unit further along the underground passages than they've ever been before. the plan, to be able to reach this a cavecavern rescuers thins above the water level and where they hope the team has sought refuge. emergency teams from around the world, which include the u.s. military, setting up a staging area in one of the cave chambers. bringing in lights, medical supplies and oxygen tanks. rescuers have been working around the clock pumping thousands of gallons of water out of that cave so they can get better access and find the group inside. experts working from above the caves, too. this geologist telling us his

team can scan 200 yards down into the earth looking for gaps to knock through new entrances. the boys, aged 11 to 16 and their 25-year-old coach went into the cave after soccer practice last saturday. their schoolmates praying for their safe return as an entire nation looks on in hope. this operation surely is massive. about a thousand people on this small patch of jungle. take a look. that is the entrance to the cave. that is where divers have been going in. and we just spoke to one who told us he found writing on the wall which tells them that they're going in the right direction. but it is heavy going. he said that swimming through that water is like swimming through coffee, the visibility is that bad but all hope is pinned on finding that area in the cave which is dry where the group might be waiting. michael. >> thank you so much, james. we hope this story definitely has a happy ending. now we switch gears and talk about the huge move for lebron james. the king, he's taking his talents to los angeles. and abc's paula faris is here with all the details. good morning, paula.

he said he looks forward to retiring lebron's jersey down the road. >> helps that they won a championship. >> winning heals all without a doubt. it is a business. sports is a business and for these guys you have to do what's best for your family which is something he did and we wish him all the best in l.a. >> he won't leave cleveland behind for sure. >> of course. he has a big house there, too. >> it's going to be hot in cali with him there. that scorching heat for millions of americans here, temperatures topping 90 degrees for much of the country. ginger is outside with all the latest. hey, ginger. >> good morning, cecilia. i love it. i'm just one of those people that like the heat. y'all like it? 81 degrees in times square this morning. feels like 84. we did not drop below 80. i want to show you what it looks like when you put a thermal gun to the concrete and the asphalt. this is why you don't let pets walk on it for long, 130 degrees. that was just one spot.

lawsuits, a series of them, from patients claiming the doctor botched their surgeries. the case of icilma cornelius was a huge part of the medical boards decision, one of seven cases with questionable treatment. she went in for a tummy tuck in 2016 and went into cardiac arrest during surgery. >> we have a patient that doesn't have a heart rate. >> reporter: this is cornelius today, after her family says she suffered permanent brain damage. the family sued. the doctor settled. >> the doctor really made it seem as if, like, she was going to be okay. she just made it seem like she would be fine. >> reporter: the medical board underlines she cannot use the title of doctor or practice medicine in any way. as part of the agreement she agrees to drop her own court case against the medical board. the doctor's work and issues with her patients only came to light after a lengthy investigation from wsb-tv and investigative reporter jim strickland in atlanta. >> dr. boutte, why is miss cornelius suffering brain damage, ma'am? >> reporter: she told us in this exclusive interview that many of the patients suing her were only

having health issues because they didn't follow her post-operative instructions. >> i make you well aware of what you may end up looking like by showing you a gallery and having you sign that you have seen the gallery. >> what do you give your odds for keeping your license? >> i cannot tell you, steve. i just hope that the people that are determining that are looking for truth. >> reporter: in a statement the doctor says she's hopeful that the suspension will be lifted and that she'll be able to practice medicine at some point in the near future. >> steve, this story has so many people wondering how you could find out about your surgeon's background before you go in for a procedure like this. is it all out there and easy to find? >> reporter: well, one thing you can do is go to the state medical board, look up your surgeon or your doctor in this case because she was a dermatologist and see if there are any complaints, any records. in this case that may not have made much of a difference because her record was clean up

until this point. the other thing, though, is to check the certification status and the hospital affiliations of your doctor before going into surgery. cecilia? >> good tips. all right, thank you, steve. >> do your homework. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> yes. coming up, we have the massive effort to save toffee, not the sweet, the puppy that fell 50 feet down a hole trapped for more than 30 hours. how they finally got the sweet pup out. how they finally got the sweet pup out. trip back to the doctor's office just for a shot. but why go back there when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the day after chemo and is used by most patients today. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to

we now want to turn to our "gma" cover story. serena williams is about to hit the wimbledon court after over the weekend she joined her friend duchess meghan at prince harry's charity polo match and also making headlines about motherhood now revealing she stopped breast-feeding and lost weight from that. abc's erielle reshef has the details. >> reporter: she's the powerhouse tennis star now revealing her struggle to bounce back after baby. >> all these articles and over pop culture you hear, you know, when you breast-feed you lose weight and you're so thin. it wasn't happening to me. >> reporter: tennis icon serena williams opening up about her emotional decision to stop breastfeeding, speaking ahead of her comeback at wimbledon. >> i was training and everything and everyone says, oh, you're so thin when you breast-feed. i'm going to be totally frank. you're so e -- is it? >> it's a lie. >> thank you. >> reporter: the queen of the

court revealing while breast-feeding her daughter olympia she felt heavy. despite a healthy diet struggling to lose the baby weight. >> no matter how much i worked out, no matter how much i did, it didn't work for me. i was vegan. i didn't eat sugar. totally eating completely healthy and i wasn't at the weight that i would have been had i not. >> reporter: the tennis superstar has been a major advocate for breast-feeding in the past. back in december even tweeting this pic with her 3-month-old daughter with the caption fellow moms, how long did you breast-feed? is it weird that i get emotional when i even just think about when it's time to stop? >> i have been doing absolutely the right thing every day with the exception of probably the main thing which is breast-feeding. >> reporter: but in her new hbo docu-series "being serena", the first-time mom talked about training while breastfeeding. at one point her coach even telling her she had to stop. >> stop breast-feeding. because the problem is, you're too heavy. you are stocking a lot of fat. >> reporter: the 36-year-old

says when she did stop, she immediately shed weight. >> after that like literally i lost like ten pounds in a week. it was crazy and i just kept dropping. >> reporter: williams says though the decision was a tough one, it was the best for her and her new family. >> what i've learned through the experience, every body is different. >> reporter: for "good morning america," erielle reshef, abc news, new york. >> all right, our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton joins us now. welcome. >> thank you, my dear. >> so what are the recommendations for how long a mom might breast-feed? >> the american academy of pediatrics is crystal clear. they actually recommend exclusive breast-feeding for six months, then breast-feeding in some form for up to the first year of life. but this is another example, cecilia, any time you talk about breast anything, breasts somehow become global property. everybody needs to weigh in, say what you should be doing with your breasts and even though this is a world class athlete a massive celebrity, it shows think is a very individual decision and what i used to tell my patients, when you talk about

breastfeeding, the operative word is feeding. feed your infant the best way for you and that baby and it's not always breast-feeding for every woman. it's best medically but it's not always feasible and this is a perfect example. >> there's so much pressure on moms anyway and this adds to that. let's bring in the audience. you guys have your clickers. we'll ask a question. small test here. serena says she stopped breast-feeding in part because it was affecting her weight loss. do you think -- do you think breastfeeding affects weight loss? survey says? wow, 73% say yes. so what is the answer? >> interesting, so there is a lot of controversy about this actually. it is a metabolically demanding process but you actually need more calories when you're breastfeeding than you do when you're pregnant. it's about 500 calories a day to support breastfeeding. about 300 only when you're pregnant. but to be clear, there is no magic bullet here. i would tell women it takes you nine months to gain the weight.

you have to give yourself some time to lose that weight and it's not a secret for weight loss. so if that's the primary reason you're doing it you may be disappointed. >> i like that. took you nine months to put it on, you get nine months and then some to take it off. all right, george. >> to that new interview with roseanne barr saying losing her show after that racist tweet is penance as she opens up about what's next in her career and linsey davis has details. >> reporter: good morning. roseanne still not finished getting a few things off her chest after being fired in the wake of her explosive remarks on twitter and the subsequent cancellation of her show. speaking out for the second time in an interview with a rabbi the latest podcast not only focusing on her jewish faith but how she's coping with the ongoing backlash. ♪ that iconic laugh now overshadowed by tears and somber talk from roseanne barr who says she has offered a penance for her controversial tweet against president obama's former senior adviser valerie jarrett which

ultimately cost barr her namesake show. >> i thought signing off of my own life's work and asking for nothing in return, i thought that was -- that was a penance to step away from that because that is penance and, you know, i put a lot of thought into it. of course, i feel terrible. >> reporter: in a podcast interview with rabbi shmuley boteach she expresses remorse and how it hurt her castmates, especially jayden ray who plays her granddaughter. >> i was, you know, very upset about hurting things that i care about and hurting people that i care about. i wanted jayden specifically to have her job because i love her and i did not want her to suffer because of me. >> reporter: roseanne says she has jarrett's phone number and while she hasn't called her yet she says she plans to.

>> once again it's about right words and you've got to do a lot of meditating and praying for the right words and i just don't know what the right words would be. >> reporter: rabbi shmuley is offering some hope. >> you know, sometimes when there's a break in something, sometimes when something bad happens, it provides an opportunity to transform the darkness into light. >> her castmates are said to appear in a spin-off without her and in her interview she hints that her comeback to television may not be too far away. she says she's very excited. she has already received many opportunities to go back on tv and close to signing a new dial. i think we haven't heard the last from her. >> a little surprising. thanks so much. over to ginger. >> george, it is so hot, that is what everybody is talking about so that's what we'll talk about. my folks from philadelphia, from tennessee, doesn't matter where you are really, most of this nation dealing with severe heat. look at this. we put a thermometer, time
