correspondent, mary bruce, is tracking it all. she is there on capitol hill. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the clock the ticking on this one-week fbi investigation, but this morning, there are new questions about the scope of this review and what it could all mean for kavanaugh's nomination and we're now learning new details about how this all came about, that rare bipartisan deal that sparked this investigation. this tough confrontation between a protester and republican senator jeff flake set the wheels in motion for that surprise deal. >> why not wait for the investigation? >> reporter: the protester begging him to hold out for an fbi investigation into judge kavanaugh. >> what are you doing, sir? >> they wre clearly passionate and determined that i hear them. >> reporter: his close friend, democratic senator chris coons, offered a potential solution. >> i had wish we would take a >>orte listened intely, and when the democrat finished speaking, flake stood up, motioning for coons to

follow him out of the room. >> we literally squeezed into a phone booth, and we can barely fit in, talking to another senator and there is this whole committee outside. >> reporter: almost two hours later, flake announced the dramatic move demanding a delay so the fbi can investigate, suggesting that he wouldn't support kavanaugh unless they did. this morning, that investigation is now under way, but weighing heavily on the outcome, whether kavanaugh misled the committee and if that would kill his nomination. >> oh, yes, i would think so. >> reporter: after resisting it for weeks, president trump is now embracing the investigation. >> they have free rein. they'll be doing things we never even thought of, and hopefully at the conclusion, everything will be fine. >> reporter: but democrats worry the white house is limiting the scope of the investigation. >> we are hearing reports that they are somehow trying to limit this. i'm very concerned about this because the white house should not be allowed to micromanage an fbi investigation. >> reporter: the white house is pushing back.

>> the white house isn't intervening. we're not micromanaging this process. >> reporter: democrats are on the attack, questioning brett kavanaugh's temperament. >> this confirmation process has become a national disgrace. >> reporter: and his political finger pointing. >> fear has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the clintons, and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups. >> that he would accuse democrats of some kind of a vast conspiracy to do him in and even dragged in hillary clinton, i found that bizarre. >> reporter: amid the fallout, "saturday night live" offering their spin on kavanaugh's intense testimony. >> i'm going to start at an 11. i'm going to take it to about a 15 real quick. >> reporter: and poking fun at his repeated references to beer. ly an tist.i'm a ke guy. >> reporter: they did not hold back.

now this morning, rachel mitchell, the republican prosecutor hired to lead the republican questioning during this hearing, she has reportedly written a memo outlining why she says brett kavanaugh could not have charges brought against him. reportedly writing, a he said/she said case is hard to prove but this case is even weaker than that. democrats of course are arguing that this is a job interview, not a trial. >> absolutely. all right, mary, thank you. >> and the fbi given that one week to investigate the allegations of sexual misconduct against kavanaugh. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has all the latest on what this probe will entail and who the fbi will be interviewing. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: amy, good morning. there is not much time. only five days to complete the background investigation of judge kavanaugh. with democrats already raising questions about whether it's too narrow in scope. under pressure and time restraints, the fbi on sunday interviewed one of judge kavanaugh's accusers. deborah ramirez spoke with fbi

agents for a couple of hours, telling her graphic story, claiming a drunken kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party at yale university. a source with knowledge of ramirez's interview with the fbi tells abc news that she provided agents with a list of witnesses who might be able to corroborate her story. two of her classmates who claim kavanaugh drank to the point of staggering tell abc news they have not yet been contacted by the fbi. >> senator, isn't testimony about judge kavanaugh's drinking in college if you are interviewing deborah ramirez, isn't that relevant? >> he's had six fbi background checks, he's been on the political stage for 26 years. he's not a stumbling, bumbling drunk. >> reporter: kavanaugh who denies all allegations of sexual assault also says he was never an out of control drunk. >> i did not drink beer to the point of blacking out. >> reporter: the fbi's background investigation is also focusing on christine blasey ford who sparked the controversy. she said kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while his high

school classmate, mark judge, looked on. >> brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling. >> reporter: judge said he has no recollection of the alleged encounter. dr. ford named at least six people who she believes were present at the party. this morning, it's unclear if the fbi has contacted these or other potential witnesses and what avenues they will be pursuing to corroborate dr. ford's allegations. one possible lead could be kavanaugh's own calendars and this reference to a july 1982 date, a gathering kavanaugh listed along with a number of people ford claims were present on the night of the assault. but sources say the white house directed the fbi to focus specifically on allegations made by ford and ramirez. it's unclear if the bureau would need permission from the president to follow up on new witnesses and evidence gathered. dr. ford's attorney says she has not been contacted by the fbi, and the third accuser, julie swetnick, also says she has not been called. also this morning,

another yale classmate is telling "the new york times" kavanaugh was someone who drank excessively, sometimes becoming belligerent and aggressive in the process. the fbi again is in the middle of a white house controversy with questions about how much leeway the white house will give it to investigate. george? >> okay, pierre, thanks. let's bring in dan abrams and brad garrett. brad, let me begin with you. james comey saying the fbi can do this in a week, we can handle this, is he right? >> we can handle some of it in a week. the problem, george, is if you are going to look at somebody who has a drinking problem potentially, and you want to look at his character and you want to look at individuals that he actually associated with in high school and college, i think it's unrealistic you can do that in a week. >> it's not clear that they're looking at the drinking problem or whether he told the truth about it. >> right. the fundamental questi nows, what exactly are they investigating? are they investigating dr. ford's allegations and trying to assess, did that happen or not? >> that's easy. >> that's relatively easy, right?

a limited number of witnesses, a limited number of questions. but are they investigating whether he lied in front of the senate? that's a separate question because then you get into all the various details about exactly what he said about his own drinking, about his yearbook, et cetera, and then you've got a much wider potential group of people you have got to talk to. >> go ahead. >> you could do that because when you do a background investigation, you look at honesty, temperament, and those things -- >> normal background investigations. >> i realize that, george, but the point being is, there is a big argument that the fbi would not be able to go beyond sort of this interviewing people and i don't think that's accurate. >> what do they do -- for example, we now have this professor in "the new york times," chad ludington, who says he was a classmate of brett kavanaugh's who says he is not telling the truth about drinking. says he is going to give that to the fbi. what are they going to do with

it? >> they are going to interview him because that goes to honesty. if this assault occurred, did he black out? if he blacked out, he may not remember the assault occurred. >> and what we know they are going to do is put this together in what they call these 302s, these reports of interviews. the question is then what happens to that? who gets it? is it revealed to the public? >> this is not a criminal investigation, the same way that the proceeding was not a criminal proceeding. that means that they can't subpoena witnesses. they can't force people to answer their questions. they are not necessarily going to draw conclusions. with that said, when they hand over these 302s -- and brad knows this very well -- they can certainly still leave open the questions that they haven't been able to answer. they can still give this over and make it clear that there are certain things that they still need to move forward with, that they are not getting enough of, and that's going to be very telling. it's not going to just be, oh, here are the interviews we did,

and here's what they said and they're just going to recite everything that was said to them. that's not the way it works. >> what would you say if the fbi did not interview people like professor ludington saying, wait, that's outside the scope of what we have even though information is being volunteered? >> it's telling me they're going to stick to a script and stop after a week, but george, i'm not convinced that they'll stop after a week. i think they might ask for more time because let's face it, when you open up this can, a lot of other people come out and they may want to talk about it. >> they may ask. i'm not sure they're going to exactly get it. >> and the white house has control over that. >> of course they do. this is a background investigation. this is not, as dan pointed out, this is not a criminal investigation. >> thank you very much. amy? more news out of washington. in fact, breaking news from overnight. u.s., canada and mexico striking a last-minute deal on nafta, coming up with a replacement just before a midnight deadline. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has all the details now in washington. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning, amy.

an 11th hour deal 14 months in the making here. president trump had called nafta the worst deal ever. he's now tweeting, calling this deal wonderful and historic saying, quote, it is a great deal for all three countries. it solves the many deficiencies and mistakes in nafta. it greatly opens markets to our farmers and manufacturers, reduce trade barriers to the u.s. and will bring all three great nations closer together in competition with the rest of the world. the administration also says that this will boost manufacturing in the u.s., lead to higher wages, especially in the auto manufacturing sector, this being a president who we know likes to brand things. the deal also has a new name. it will be called the united state/mexico/canada agreement. it's not a done deal. it needs congress to sign off. >> all right, cecilia vega in washington, thank you. robin? >> all right, amy. now overseas to the race to find survivors of that massive disaster in indonesia. a huge 7.5 earthquake causing a

we're back now with that new trouble for superstar ronaldo. he is taking to social media denying sexual assault accusations from an incident that reportedly took place in las vegas nearly a decade ago. abc's paula faris is here with more on this story. good morning, paula. >> reporter: good morning, amy. according to this report, cristiano ronaldo allegedly tried to buy this woman's silence. and he is calling this whole

story, and i quote, fake news. >> cristiano ronaldo. >> reporter: he is one of the most famous soccer players in the world, worth $400 million, for his moves on the field and fronting brands like nike. underwear companies and tech giants. but this morning, cristiano ronaldo is speaking out after being accused of sexual assault. >> no, no, no, no, no. what they said today, fake -- fake news. >> reporter: in a new complaint filed in nevada, 34-year-old kathryn mayorga seen in pictures with the soccer superstar, says ronaldo assaulted her in 2009. she claims that after meeting her in the palms hotel, the megastar invited her and a group of people to his penthouse suite to enjoy the view of the strip. she said he invited her to the hot tub and while she was changing, he pulled her to a bedroom and assaulted her.

charges against him were dropped a month later due to insufficient evidence. >> it's my name. they want to be famous to say my name. yeah, but it's part of the job. i'm a happy man and all good. >> reporter: now overnight, ronaldo's attorney tells abc news that they are pursuing legal action against that newsmagazine for their reporting on the allegation saying, quote, the reporting is blatantly illegal. as for the alleged victim she claims she went to the vegas police shortly after the incident. this is important because if she did, there is no statute of limitation in the state of nevada. as long as you have filed within four years, there are also medical reports corroborating an assault took place. but the vegas police are not commenting this morning. >> why is she coming forward now? >> she wants justice. she has been emboldened by the

that rare bipartisan deal that sparked this investigation. this tough confrontation between a protester and republican senator jeff flake set the wheels in motion for that surprise deal. >> why not wait for the investigation? >> reporter: the protester begging him to hold out for an fbi investigation into judge kavanaugh. >> what are you doing, sir? >> they were clearly passionate and determined that i hear them. >> reporter: his close friend, democratic senator chris coons, offered a potential solution. >> i had wished we would take a one-week pause. one week only. >> reporter: flake listened intently, and when the democrat finished speaking, flake stood up motioning for coons to follow him out of the room. almost two hours later, flake announced the dramatic move, demanding a delay so the fbi can investigate, suggesting he would not support kavanaugh unless this morning, that investigation is now under way, but weighing heavily on the outcome, if kavanaugh misled the committee

and whether that would kill his nomination. >> oh, yes. >> i would think so. >> reporter: after resisting for weeks, president trump is now embracing the investigation. >> they have free rein. they'll be doing things that we never even thought of, and hopefully at the conclusion, everything will be fine. >> reporter: but democrats worry the white house is limiting the scope of the investigation. >> i'm very concerned about this because the white house should not be allowed to micromanage an fbi investigation. >> reporter: now the white house insists that they are not intervening or micromanaging this process, and now rachel mitchell, the republican prosecutor who was hired by the republicans to lead the questioning, she is reportedly out with a memo outlining why she says charges could not be brought against kavanaugh. but george, democrats of course argue that this is a job interview, not a trial. >> okay, mary bruce, thanks very much. amy? now to that massive disaster overseas. a 7.5 earthquake in indonesia causing a tsunami that has

[ applause ] all right. there is a new drug out there that is not fda approved just yet, but you believe it could really be the cutting edge in helping with chemotherapy. >> without a doubt. so triple negative breast cancers lack three receptors,

estrogen, proestrogen and her 2. and they are the most aggressive we have to treat. there has never been a documented improvement in survival in any therapy we throw at these metastatic triple negs until now. the trick is immunotherapy. and t-centric, this is so cutting edge that today, the 2018 nobel prize in medicine was just announced going to two cancer immunotherapy researchers. >> wonderful. >> what happens is this. you have got a cancer. metastatic to the liver. your chemo, your immune cells kill some of them, but never all of them, which is why stage four is always incurable. in triple negatives, you also have a bad protein that handicaps the cells and your immune system because it cannot see the cancer cells. enter t-centric and two things happen. the protein melts away from the cancer, exposing it. >> all right. >> to your immune cells which are now activated and are able to literally seek and destroy

this cancer, dissolving it and prolonging survival rates. >> oh, my gosh. when you see it like that -- >> i know. i have three 9-year-old kids so this is, like, so cool. >> i know. what is not cool is that 80% of breast cancer is estrogen-based and there is some new cutting edge there as well, right? it often spreads. >> it does often spread, and sometimes later in life. years later. so there are now three new drugs approved by the fda against advanced hormonally driven breast cancers. ibrance, kisqali and verzenio. they have all significantly been shown to slow down the progression, doubling the time it takes for disease. these are pills. you take them at home. >> very promising. very promising. thismething that being a surgeon, caught your eye. >> absolutely. this helps us surgeons localize cancers in the operating room that we cannot feel better than the traditional way which is using a wire pushed into a lady's breast to localize the

cancer while it is clamped between mammogram plates. this improves on comfort, ladies. because it's so localized, we can remove the cancer with better margins, dropping the incision by 70%, and because it leaves more breast tissue behind, the cosmetic outcome is great. this is what happens. this little reflector is placed into the tumor. even if you do chemotherapy first, it remains inert until you can remove it and also interrogate the specimen to improve on margins. it's great technology. >> it is. that is. [ applause ] all right, let's get moving. >> yes. >> we know exercise, diet, all those things help in preventing. >> exercise decreases estrogen levels, so much that just walking 11 minutes a day, drops cancer by 18%. >> but if you want to kick it up?

>> the nih says for three to four hours a week you can drop breast cancer by 30% to 40%. >> really? >> in fact, the rule is five hours a week if we're going to just hike and talk, but if you what if you already had breast cancer like veronica, our thriver warrior over here? [ cheers and applause ] compared to doing nothing after a diagnosis, if you just exercise, you will drop the death rate from breast cancer by 45%. >> come here. i'm so happy for you. increase bone density so it helps to use the body. >> exactly. increase body density. those drugs that we take for breast cancer -- so go to pinklotus.com/move to learn about all this awesomeness. >> give it up. all right. always dr. funk, always, we appreciate it very much. let's get over to ginger.
