inspired that attack in the first place. abc's lana zak has new details on his visit. she joins us now from washington where the president is back home. good morning, lana. >> reporter: good morning to you, kendis and lynda. other elected officials had been invited to join the president on his trip to pittsburgh, but they deinedft some family ted officials asked the president to delay his trip. funerals continue today in pittsburgh in the wake of the most deadly anti-semitic attack in american history. the city united in mourning was divided in their opinions of president trump who visited the tree of life synagogue on tuesday. >> very, very sad. hopefully we'll learn a lot. >> reporter: together with first lady melania, ivanka and jared kushner, the president placed stones from the white house rose garden on the stars of david that marked the loss of 11 lives, but local officials had asked the president to delay his visit, a sentiment echoed by

many. >> he is a purveyor of hate speech, and he is not welcome in my synagogue and in my city. >> reporter: more than a thousand protesters and residents gathered nearby. >> it's not about you. let the families grieve. >> reporter: carrying signs that read, words matter, they demanded that the president fully denounce white nationalism. meanwhile, as the fbi continues their investigation, it seems no one really knew the killer. described as a demon on social media, in person robert bowers seemed to be a ghost. no family, no apparent friends and neighbors say in the 18 months he lived at his current address, he never even opened the blinds. and, kendis and lynda, white house press secretary sarah sanders was asked if the president really missed an opportunity to denounce anti-semitism with this visit. she said he was there intending to show his respect to the family and friends of the victims, as well as all jewish americans. >> lana zak, thank you so much.

well, president trump is suggesting another hard-line immigration promise just days before the midterm elections, vowing to end birthright citizenship with an executive order. now, the constitution actually guarantees citizenship to anyone born on u.s. soil regardless of their parents' immigration status. the president claims his lawyers have assured him that he can end that unilaterally, but house speaker paul ryan among those siding with legal scholars who say it would take a constitutional amendment. well, you obviously cannot do that. you cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order. we didn't like it when obama tried changing immigration laws via executive action. i think in this case the 14th amendment is pretty clear. >> well, this latest thinking by the president follows his decision to send more than 5,000 troops to the southern border and try to ratchet up warnings about a caravan of migrants. still hundreds of miles away from the u.s. border. still hun from the u.s. border. special counsel robert mueller appears to be the target of a possible smear campaign.

mueller's office is asking the fbi to investigate claims from several women. they say they were offered money in exchange for fabricating sexual misconduct claims against mueller. one of the women says she was approached by someone representing a right-wing conspiracy peddler named jack burkman. multiple women who claim they were contacted say they either have never met mueller or never saw him act inappropriately. the death of notorious boston crime boss james whitey bulger has been ruled a homicide. and now we're learning how the 89-year-old was reportedly killed in prison. this morning, the fbi's investigating the killing of boston mob boss whitey bulger just hours after he was transferred to this west virginia prison. >> you're going to be responding to the maximum security. they advise cpr in progress. >> reporter: bulger found unresponsive in his cell at 8:20 in the morning tuesday. an anonymous source telling "the new york times" bulger was beaten so badly, he was unrecognizable. he's reportedly the third inmate

killed at that maximum security hazelton facility this year raising questions about whether the prison is understaffed. it was in south boston where young james bulger earned the nickname whitey because of his light hair. he spent time in alcatraz returning to boston where he'd rule the streets playing a role in at least 11 murders. in 1994 a corrupt fbi agent tipped bulger off telling him he was about to be indicted, and he disappeared. authorities searched more than a decade for him releasing surveillance video ultimately tracking him down through his girlfriend, catherine greig, to this santa monica apartment where police found more than $800,000 in cash stashed inside the walls. and now the families of his victims coming to terms with his sudden death. >> we want his name to just go away, but now that he's dead, his name goes away, and he goes away with it. couldn't be a better thing. >> very actually happy he's dead. i'm very pleased that he's dead. my family can -- we can get on with our lives now. >> "the boston globe" reports one possible suspect in bulger's

killing is a convicted mob hit man from massachusetts serving a life sentence at the same prison who may have been seeking revenge for bulger's time as an fbi informant. a major break overnight for investigators looking into the crash of lion air flight 610. officials say divers may have located the fuselage off indonesia's coast. a search team heard a pinging sound, which could be coming from the black box. the plane crashed into the java sea monday with 189 people on board. remains of at least 48 people have now been found. experts from boeing are arriving in indonesia today. the company delivered the new 737 to lion air just two months ago. the same plane reportedly flew erratically the day before the crash. well, time now for a look at your weather for this halloween wednesday. plenty of storms taking shape in texas and louisiana that could give trick-or-treaters a real
