7:04 am
was interrogated, tortured and then murdered. and there were mysterious rivals the night of the disappearance. flight records obtained by abc news show two private planes from riyadh, saudi arabia, arriving in istanbul and departing the same day. turkish officials allege they carried a 15-man saudi hit squad while pro-saudi media claims they were, quote, simply tourists. reportedly, the saudi government is now ready to admit there were saudis involved in the journalist's death. the killing resulting from, authorities say, an interrogation that got out of control. president trump has vowed to find out what happened. >> we're going to try getting to the bottom of it very soon. >> reporter: he spoke with the saudi king on monday by phone. >> the king firmly denied any knowledge of it. he didn't really know, maybe -- i don't want to get into his mind, but it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows. >> reporter: so, if the saudis claim, as the president suggests, this was carried out by some rogue team, a botched interrogation, that raises more questions.
7:05 am

7:08 am
thank you. tnkbin. now to senator elizabeth warren ramping up her fight against president trump. this as what many see as a sign that she is running in 2020. warren took a dna test to prove her native american ancestry after years of taunting by the president, and he is pushing back and he is not the only one. abc's mary bruce is in washington with the story. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, michael. well, senator elizabeth warren is clearly eager to put this issue behind her as she toys with the run for the white house but this morning she is getting fresh criticism from president trump and even pushback from the cherokee nation. it's a racial taunt that president trump relishes. >> pocahontas. >> pocahontas. >> pocahontas, elizabeth warren. >> reporter: trump bashing senator elizabeth warren for her claims that she's part native american. >> i will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity paid for by trump if you take the test and it shows you're an indian. >> reporter: accepting that challenge warren has now released the results of a dna test delving into her heritage
7:09 am
in a five-minute campaign-style video. >> what do the facts say? >> the facts suggest you absolutely have a native american ancestor in your pedigree. >> reporter: warren was told she had a native american ancestor in the range of six to ten generations ago. president trump's response? >> who cares. who cares. >> reporter: the president scoffing at the results. >> how much? 1/1000. >> do you owe her an apology? >> no. she owes the country an apology. what is the percentage, 1/1000th. >> reporter: and the million dollars, trump has no plans to pay up. >> i'll only do it if i can test her personally. okay, that will not be something i'd enjoy doing either. >> reporter: warren was quick to take on trump tweeting, we all know why donald trump makes creepy physical threats about me, right, he's scared and he calls us names, attack us personally, shrink us down to feel better about himself. but this morning, pushback from another corner. the cherokee nation called the president's attacks derisive,
7:10 am
claims of tribal heritage adding, a dna test is useless. they do not distinguish will a person's ancestors were indigenous to north or south america. warren says she is not claiming tribal identity here, just family history, but the fact that she is so publicly taking on this issue now is the clearest sign yet that she's running for president, but democrats we've talked with say they wish she could have waited a couple of weeks until after the midterms to make such a public push. george? >> yeah, they want focus right now. thanks very much. also in politics, a win for president trump and his legal battle with porn star stormy daniels. a federal judge in california has dismissed daniels' defamation claim against the president and ordered her to pay the president's legal fees. trump had called her claim she was threatened to keep silent about her 2006 affair a ta con job. trump.to ruled that rest causet her lawyer, michael avenatti, who's considering a run in 2020
7:11 am
plans to appeal the ruling. robin? all right, george. now to new trouble for usa gymnastics. the interim president and ceo is under fire. olympic gold medalist aly raisman says the organization made corrupt decisions in hiring mary bono whose law firm is accused of helping cover up the larry nassar abuse scandal. abc's eva pilgrim is here. aly is not the first gymnast to speak out against mary bono. >> reporter: that's right, robin. this new hire has what some are considering a glaring connection to that past and that is not going over well with some of the team's golden girls who are not hesitating calling them out for this decision-making. two of gymnastics' biggest stars are speaking their minds this morning, taking issue with the woman tapped to take over and clean up in the wake of the largest sexual abuse scandal in sports history. olympic gold medalist aly arbono as e m d over the hiring
7:12 am
the former republican congresswoman from california used to work for the law firm that represented usa gymnastics in its initial investigation of larry nassar. the former team doctor currently behind bars for child molestation, accused of assaulting more than 300 women and girls over two decades. >> we have our voices and we are not going anywhere. >> reporter: raisman taking to social media tweeting, why hire someone associated with the firm that helped cover up our abuse? clearly this is not a new usag. same corrupt decisions. this, on the heels of teammate simone biles calling out bono for a tweet with a photo of her coloring over the nike swish on her sneakers criticizing nike for using colin kaepernick as the new face of its advertising campaign. biles who is sponsored by nike responding on twitter, mouth drop. don't worry, it's not like we needed a smarter usa gymnastics president or any sponsors or anything. bono later deleted the tweet
7:13 am
saying she deeply regrets posting it adding, this doesn't reflect how i will approach my position at usa gymnastics. usa gymnastics' board of directors said in a statement, bono's work for the firm was not related to the 2015 investigation. >> after the horrors of the larry nassar saga to go above and beyond to make sure that the person they're picking even as an interim ceo is above reproach. >> a lot of critics saying whoever takes the job needs to be pretty near perfect and have absolutely no tie at all to that past scandal. there are calls this morning for her to step down or to be removed. >> doesn't seem like that's too much to ask to have somebody who is not any way associated with -- >> that's what the girls are asngor. >> can't blame them for that. thank you very much, eva. now toh turned murder myste in georgia. police are searching for the killer who shot an aspiring model while she was driving. they now believe the fatal shot
7:14 am
>> reporter: georgiaear-old who pursuing a modeling career may have been killed in a random act of violence. >> that does not appear to be a shot that came from a residential area or a business area. it just appears that it possibly came from another vehicle on the roadway. >> reporter: kelsey quayle worked in a dentist's office on her way to work last monday when she is seen in this surveillance video crashing into oncoming traffic. authorities initially thought her wounds were limited to the crash until doctors found a bullet wound in her neck. >> we know the bullet entered the vehicle through the back passenger side of the car and entered and hit her in the side of the neck. >> reporter: where that bullet came from is a mystery. they say it's possible it was a stray gunshot and police are asking drivers on the road at meo repo aone who s driving erratically or police are calling this a
7:15 am
homicide and not a murder at this point. her family wonders if she was a victim of road rage. the funeral is scheduled saturday. michael. >> all right, thank you very much, steve. george. okay, michael. now we're going to remember a tech legend. paul allen, the co-founder of microsoft passed away from complications of non-hodgkin's lymphoma and he met bill gates in high school. then they started the company that launched the computer revolution. allen also owned the seattle seahawks, portland trail blazers and donated billions to charity. gates remembered that paul loved life and those around him and we all cherished him in return. he deserved much more time but his contributions to the world of technology and philanthropy will live on for generations to come. i will miss him tremendously. they both had a huge impact. >> they certainly have. >> yes, they have. all right, now we're going to turn to the excitement that

7:17 am
>> reporter: big new homes are pretty popular for new lottery winners. hgtv even launching a show "my lottery dream home." >> your dream home just became a reality. >> reporter: it's about people who have just won the lottery shopping for some amazing new homes. >> holy smokes. >> reporter: but what happens after the big win and those endless headlines? this couple from iowa won $202 million back in 2012. >> we certainly have the ability to have a lot of fun and traveling certainly is a big part of that. >> reporter: but they've also given a lot right back to their community. building a new high school football stadium and giving their town a new grocery store. >> seeing the joy and the appreciation and the change it can have on them has been probably the most rewarding thing over the last six years. >> reporter: some good people right there.listen, if you don'e mega millions tonight, don't worry, you still have another chance tomorrow with the powerball talking about $345 million so, guys, good luck. >> thank you, gio. and tickets --

and i prayed for every president and never had the chance to do it in the oval office. before we went to the oval office, we prayed together, my wife and i, and asked that we would have that chance to pray for him. we believe in the power of prayer and we think this president needs a lot of prayer. every president does and so we asked god to give us that opportunity. >> you spent 20 years in turkey and then october 2016 you were taken prisoner. did you have a sense of what was happening then? >> we were actually shocked. we were arrested on our older son's birthday and this was for deportation. then we were told that we were being arrested because we were a threat to national security. and within a very short time, it became clear to us that this was unusual. we weren't allowed to see a consular official. we were kept -- my wife and i -- for 13 days with no contact with the outside and itus extending and extending, so we were really shocked because we
7:43 am
spent 23 years telling people about jesus in turkey. we did this very openly and had never had a problem with the police. >> and just for the record, did you ever engage in any kind of spying, help terrorists in any way? >> no, our purpose was to tell people about jesus christ. we did that very openly and were not involved in anything political. >> you went to prison. had some rough treatment. >> well, just being in prison is pretty rough. at the beginning, i was held in solitary confinement for a number of days and that was very difficult and the way i survived that was by just spending hours in prayer just to keep from -- keep my sanity and then i was kept in a cell for eight people but there were over 20 of us there so it was very crowded, very -- i was very isolated both by language and by culture, nationality and also by religion.
7:44 am
it was all the people i was with were very strong muslims. they were all arrested as muslim terrorists as part of a movement there and it was like living in a mosque in many way. >> did you ever feel like you were in physical danger? >> not at the beginning. i think that as things were added on, for example, saying that i was a -- supporting the pkk, which is a kurdish terrorist movement, then, of course, many turks would become more angry. at this point i'm one of the most hated men in turkey probably because i was accused of spying as well as being part of the attempt to overthrow the government and supporting kurdish terrorists, so -- and then, of course, when they started having problems after president trump imposed sanctions, then i was blamed for the change in the economy. >> you're hated in turkey but christians here took up your cause. did you feel that movement? >> well, this is one of the very
7:45 am
surreal things that we're not known people. we're not very important people. we've been working in turkey and obscurity one could say for a number of years but then, around the world i think millions of people in many countries were praying for us, and even though this caused us a lot of hurt, i think that god is using this, was planning to use this to bring blessing to turkey. now there are millions of people who prayed for turkey. >> you still love turkey? >> we do, yes. >> pastor brunson, thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> michael. >> thank you, george. coming up we're switching gears. the baby gifts are already coming in for prince harry and meghan markle. the adorable present from a young fan coming up next. mean a 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

8:17 am
love the show and sara, for you, you're an actress but also a producer. so why was it important for you to move the show on to keep it going? >> well, i think we all felt that we had so many more stories to tell. we've always been fortunate to be able to represent a working class family on television, tell stories through love, through humor, heartache and happiness, and we didn't want to stop doing that and giving that to our audience so i think we wanted to come back and give it another shot. >> and obviously it was so much about -- out there about roseanne and what happened with her. so how was it being on set without her for it to continue on? >> the first week was really weird. yeah, it was -- it was like there was a death in the family. we really missed her a whole lot. a lot missing but, you know, we just tried to do our best to fill in and we're just thankful for the opportunity to be able
8:18 am
to do it again. >> yeah, oh, i was going to say i think we have been a cast for 30 years. it was emotional moving forward, but then i think what most ever point in their life redefines their family without the matriarch so it gave us a chance to look at how does it affect the family, how do different people fill in different roles and lean on each other and to try to do it in an honest way, because our show has always done a lot of drama along with the comedy so we got a chance to put our own feelings into the show. >> and how has roseanne been written out of the show is a secret. no one knows so give it up. what is it? [ laughter ] >> i'll tell you at 8:00 p.m. tonight. >> oh, yeah, okay. that's a bet. >> i thought she lost her car keys. >> okay, so, i have a question for you, with your character, how will he move on without his
8:19 am
wife of 30 years? >> i know every week when i get a new script. [ laughter ] >> you figure it out then. >> yeah, i figure it out then because they tell me. they're very generous with telling me what i'm doing. it's really difficult and difficult in real life as well. it's just -- there's a loss there but there are new people on the show and it's -- we're all checking each other out to see how we're handling this. it's really different. >> but it seems to be that you guys still have that family atmosphere that you've had for the last 30 years to continue the show. >>es >> sniping at each other. >> yeah. it's important part of the family. >> yeah, it is. it is like a family and we have those relationships and, you know, i said before we have been together for so many years it's not something you can really create on a new show when i have a fight with one of my siblings on screen, it's -- there's 30

[ laughter ] [ applause ] >> great answer. i got to tell you it's a great answer. do you have anything, sara? >> it's tough to beat that but, you know, i think just give it a shot, see what you think. see if you like how we've handled things and tried to move forward, but i think you'll find that we're still trying to tell the same honest stories and hopefully you'll connect and, you know, come take a ride. >> take a ride with you and one of the traditions of the show has always been crazy halloween, costumes, everything else. is that going to live on? >> we do halloween.

8:45 am
to criticizing it subtly as the saying goes by throwing shade. when did you first learn the meaning of shade? >> well, you know, right after the inauguration i posted a picture on instagram of president obama. my snarky caption just said, i kind of like the old curtains better, and in that first post, someone said that i was shading trump. >> reporter: he was doing it but he didn't though what it meant. >> you googled it. >> i googled it. >> what did you find? >> sort of like a way of making a comment that is not necessarily positive. >> right. >> reporter: souza's instagram feed, described as a master class in shade. filled with hundreds of photos of obama's white house, often in direct response to preside obama talking to refugees on the day of trump's travel ban.a tru. and now souza's instagram feed has gone from online to on the page with a new book called, of course, "shade."
8:46 am
>> there are those who would say are you just being partisan with this book? and yet you've worked for a republican president as well. >> i worked for president reagan and i saw that he respected the office of the presidency. i think that's what's missing now. >> how many pictures did you take during that time? >> i shot 1.9 million photos in the eight years. >> reporter: a former journalism professor, former white house photog now turned artist. his work on exhibit at the steven kasher galley. this one is simply "stormy." >> stormy. i don't think it needed more words than that. this was in response to trump saying he had the largest crowd in history when, of course, that was not true. >> these are photographs from president obama's first 100 days. for the last eight years your job was to be a fly on the wall and not comment. what makes you want to come out from behind the lens now? >> i have a voice now because of the position i held at the white house and i could not live with myself if i was not using my voice to speak out.
8:47 am
>> reporter: the book's tag line is simply "a tale of two presidents," but souza says it's also a book with a message. >> so if you're unhappy with the situation the way it is, then you have to vote, you have to do your civic duty and vote in order to change the way things are. >> he calls it a call to action. you know, they say a picture is worth a thousand words and he took nearly 2 million pictures during the obama years. clearly pete souza has a lot to say. >> he certainly does and saying it but i love how you asked why now. you would see him when you would cover the president and always see him there but he would never say anything and for him to be outspoken and gave the reason why. >> he has this platform. he's going to use it. >> beautiful pictures, all right, juju, thanks so much.
