bottles, and thousands gathered there in jurassic park to deservedly cheer on their team. >> that was very gracious of you, cecilia. >> i'm trying. i'm trying. >> especially since she's sitting next to me, she lost a bet and has to pay up now. of course, superfan drake was out in full force and it looks like the drake curse is over. i'm sure he'll put that in a song somewhere. the game came down to the final seconds. abc's t.j. holmes was there for it all at that final game ever played in oracle arena and he joins us now from oakland. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning to you all. it's hard to describe just how intense of an atmosphere it was here at oracle arena last night. they knew this was it, the last time to see these warriors play here, and these warriors were highly motivated to make sure they sent this place off in style but instead, o, canada. >> we, the north, are now we the champions. >> reporter: heartbreak and history, all in one thrilling

night at oracle arena that saw the toronto raptors win their first nba title and another warriors star go down with a devastating injury. the toronto raptors are now the first team based in canada to win an nba title. >> toronto, canada, we brought it home, baby. we brought it home. >> reporter: toronto was facing a wounded but motivated warriors team playing its last game in oracle arena and first game since kevin durant ruptured his achilles. raptors guard kyle lowry started points, and klay thompson shot the warriors into contention and scored 30, but it was this play in the third quarter that sucked the air out of oracle arena. thompson came down and immediately grabbed his knee. a torn acl. they'd have to play the rest of the game without him. the teams went back and forth down the stretch and with seconds left steph curry had this shot to possibly win it but missed. coach kerr shared a smile with his superstar, they knew it was over. jurassic park in toronto knew it too. they erupted knowing their

25-year championship wait was over. we caught up with finals mvp kawhi leonard afterwards, champagne soaked and still with hardware in hand. >> it's amazing to bring back something special like this and making history for the first time. i learned from my past experience, just enjoying the moment and, you know, once -- if i do win, make sure i enjoy it. >> reporter: and a very happy drake celebrating the win. even facetiming with his one-time rival steph curry. >> tough one. ahh. >> i know. >> i hate saying it. enjoy it. it's big time for you, the whole city, everybody, y'all deserve it, man. congrats. >> reporter: and get this, the road team won the past five games in this series. that is the first time that's ever happened in the history of the nba finals. the road team winning that much. but, again, guys, this was game

number 2,070 at oracle arena and the last one and the lasting final impression, an image will be of another team winning the championship but these fans in oakland are certainly supporting the team and very appreciative of the run they've had here for 47 years. >> it has been some run. >> they should be very proud. great team, great season and also, you know, give it up to the toronto raptors, kawhi leonard going up there and bringing them a championship. >> great finish for them. we move to a brand-new excerpt of my exclusive interview with president trump. the president refused to answer questions from robert mueller about his evidence of possible obstruction against the president but trump took them from me and took on mueller's star witness don mcgahn, strongly suggesting that the former white house counsel lied under oath. more than 1,000 former prosecutors have concluded that president trump obstructed justice in the mueller investigation. and one of them, democratic presidential candidate kamala harris, now says that she would have no choice but to pursue criminal charges against trump when his term ends. >> she's running for president, she's doing horribly. she's way down in the polls.

>> she said she would have no choice but to prosecute you. >> pocahontas is cleaning her clo clock and i heard that she made that statement and you know what, who wouldn't? probably if i were running in her position i would make the same statement. there was no crime. no special counsel should have ever been appointed. you know why? because there was no crime. excuse me. they had no evidence of crime. >> he lays out a lot of evidence including the episode where you ask your white house counsel don mcgahn, you tell him, mueller has to go and you call him twice and say mueller has to go. call me when it's done. >> reporter: don mcgahn, the president's former white house counsel, named more times in the mueller report than any other official. he presented evidence of possible obstruction when he pressured mcgahn to get mueller fired. >> i was never going to fire mueller. i never suggested firing mueller. >> that's not what he says. >> i don't care what he says. it doesn't matter. that was to show everyone what a good counsel he was. >> why would don mcgahn lie under oath -- why would he lie under oath --

>> he wanted to make himself look like a good lawyer, or, or, he believed it because i would constantly tell anybody that would listen including you, including the media, that robert mueller was conflicted. robert mueller -- >> and has to go. >> i didn't say that. >> but if you answered these questions to me now why not answer them to robert mueller under oath? >> because they were looking to get us for lies, for slight misstatements. i looked at what happened to people and it was very unfair. very, very unfair. very unfair. i gave them 1.5 million pages of documents, right? i gave them 400 or 500 witnesses. i let don mcgahn testify. he was a white house counsel. i let him testify. >> but you didn't answer questions on obstruction. >> wait a minute. wait a minute, i did answer questions. i answered them in writing. >> not on obstruction. >> i don't know. i answered a lot of questions. they gave me questions, i answered them in writing.

>> not on obstruction. >> look, george, you're being a little wise guy. okay? which is typical for you just so you understand, very simple, it's very simple. there was no crime. there was no collusion.tions on of justice and robert mueller. and for the record, he did not answer questions about obstruction of justice from robert mueller. this issue with don mcgahn is significant, cecilia, as you know, because the president right now blocking his testimony to the congress. >> and don mcgahn was known for taking copious and very thorough notes during a lot of his meetings so that was a witness that they were obviously very worried about and for the record you're not a little wise guy. you can see more of george's interview more sunday at 8:00, 7:00 central right here on abc. this morning at the white house we're seeing a major shakeup in the president's inner circle. sarah sanders stepping down as press secretary. her role in the administration, of course, not without controversy. our chief white house correspondent jon karl has more on all this.

good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. this is a big loss for the president. he is not just losing a press secretary, he is losing one of his most fiercely loyal and longest servin after nearly two years as white house press secretary, sarah sanders is moving on. >> she's done an incredible job. we have been through a lot together and she's tough but she's good. >> reporter: her press briefings were often contentious as she did battle with the white house press corps. >> bipartisan -- >> reporter: but more recently the briefings have all but disappeared. the last one more than three months ago, but while sanders took a lower public profile, she also became one of the president's closest advisers, almost always by his side. >> it's one of the greatest jobs i could ever have. i've loved every minute, even the hard minutes. >> reporter: she was with president trump during both of his summits with kim jong-un, a highly unusual if not unprecro for a white

house press secretary. and just last week she sat right next to prince charles at the dinner the president had at the u.s. ambassadors' residence in london. sanders was an unwavering defender of the president, though her credibility was sometimes called into question. >> i asked you directly yesterday if the president had already decided to fire james comey when he met with the deputy attorney general and attorney general and you said, no. now we learn from the president directly that he had already decided to fire james comey. so why were so many people giving answers that just weren't correct? >> i think it's pretty simple. i hadn't had a chance to have the conversation directly with the president. >> reporter: her public statements regarding the firing of former fbi director comey were brought under scrutiny in the mueller report. when asked by the special counsel's office about her assertion that rank and file fbi agents lost confidence in comey, sanders said she made that comment, quote, in the heat of the moment and it was not founded on anything.

she was beloved by trump supporters and despised by his enemies and parodied on "saturday night live." >> halloween is over but i see some of you guys are still in your journalist costumes. >> reporter: sanders who has three children under the age of 10 says that she will be going back to her home state of arkansas. she also does not rule out a future in politics, perhaps even one day running for governor of arkansas. george, cecilia, michael. >> interesting. there's some speculation they might not even replace her because she didn't fill the role of a traditional secretary after she stopped those briefings. they may not need another press secretary to replace her. >> that's very possible and, -- meantime, jon, the president has another top official under fire this morning, kellyanne conway, one of his top aides by a watch dog who said she broke the law. >> reporter: this is the office of special counsel. that is a very different office than robert mueller,

a different federal agency that looks at whether or not federal employees are violating something called the hatch act, which says you cannot do politics in your official capacity, and this agency says that she did that repeatedly and actually says that the president should fire her, george. that is not going to happen. the white house is strongly defending kellyanne conway saying that she has done nothing wrong. >> got a letter from the white house counsel, thanks, jon. michael. we're going to turn to the latest on those rising tensions with iran. u.s. officials are now publicly blaming iran for those attacks on two oil tankers. our chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz is in washington with more. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this morning, the u.s. is not only accusing iran of involvement in the attacks but providing compelling evidence they say helps prove it. overnight, the u.s. military central command releasing this new surveillance video of what they say is an iranian revolutionary guard patrol boat approaching one of the crippled ships and removing an unexploded

mine which could have provided further evidence as to who placed the mines that did explode. you can see the damage to the ship on the left from one of the mines that exploded. >> these mines are magnetic, they stick to the side of the metal hull of the ship. they're hand placed there. >> reporter: while the iranians may have gotten hold of some of the evidence and deny any role in the attacks themselves, the secretary of state says there is no doubt that iran is responsible for the attacks. >> this assessment is based on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation, and recent similar iranian attacks on shipping and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. >> reporter: the attacks came just 45 minutes apart near the coast of iran and the damage was extensive to one of the tankers, smoke billowing hundreds of feet in the air. this morning, the crew of that

ship remains in iran, the other crew that had been aboard the "uss bainbridge" now returned to their tanker which sustained less damage. the question is what happens next in this standoff with iran. the u.s. made clear this morning that they will defend u.s. assets and assure safe passage in the waterways in the region but also making clear that war would not be in anyone's best interest, george. >> trying to keep a lid on the tension. okay, martha, thanks very much. we move to that severe weather across the east. a tornado was spotted in new jersey and this morning oklahoma city facing a flash flooding alert and rob marciano has the latest. good morning. >> good morning. it was this time yesterday philadelphia was getting hammered with heavy rain. a bit of a break and then a strong amount of storms coming through. this just east of philadelphia. wenonah, new jersey, you see that funnel cloud touching down.

mullica hill, the deck furniture around the pool, debris flying with that surveillance video camera. one of dozen of storm-related damage reports yesterday. where we see the threat today as this kind of lays its way down across the great lakes through the midwest, back through the high plains as well. garden city, amarillo today, wichita, kansas city tomorrow and farther east for father's day, sunday, and there will be heavy rain with this. we'll talk more about that in a just a little bit. >> busy weekend for you, rob. okay, thanks. we turn to new developments in the david ortiz shooting. overnight, more suspects taken into custody as big papi's wife speaks out thanking everyone who helped to save his life. abc's gio benitez is here with all the latest. hey, gio. >> reporter: hey, cecilia, good morning. yeah, overnight we learned three more men were arrested in the dominican republic and all three will be charged with attempted murder and criminal association. this as some of the other suspects are taken to court. five of the six men accused in the alleged ambush of former red sox slugger david ortiz were led into a dominican republic courtroom for their first appearance.

investigators in the d.r. say the suspects were offered nearly $8,000 to target the red sox legend. some of the suspects have possible connections to the u.s. prosecutors in new jersey saying 25-year-old rolfy ferreyra cruz, the alleged shooter, was listed as a robbery suspect in the garden state last year. and authorities saying luis alfredo rivas, also known as the surgeon was wanted in pennsylvania for conspiracy to commit attempted homicide. this as ortiz recovers in a boston hospital. his wife saying in a statement, david remains in guarded condition in the surgical intensive care unit following his second surgery. he continues to heal and make progress. surveillance video shows the moment ortiz was shot. the shooter in the baseball cap walks right up to him and fires into ortiz's back. the man who says he took ortiz to the hospital in the chaotic moments after the shooting speaking with abc news overnight.

the man says ortiz gave him his hand. he got him in a car and got the baseball star to safety. and this morning, we know prosecutors have asked for the suspects to be held in jail for up to a year while this investigation into the shooting continues. this is far from over. >> far from over, but do they have any idea what the motive was? >> you know what, michael, right now that is very much a focus of the investigation especially when we know they were paid nearly $8,000 for this. >> all right, gio, a lot of questions. a lot more coming up this morning, including brand-new surveillance video, apparently shows cuba gooding jr. and his accuser the night she claims he groped her and now the actor is facing charges. we'll have the latest on that. also new images this morning of amanda knox as she returns to italy. she is on a mission after being acquitted of murder there. an exclusive with the hiker who survived nearly a week lost in the woods and he's now sharing his secret to staying

she or vice-versa in an instant. this morning, one california college student says he used the filters to try and help others avoid the suffering his friend faced when she was assaulted. >> it turned out that with the gender filter i made a very pretty girl so i decided to take advantage of it and try to make a tinder account to catch some pedophiles. >> reporter: ethan says he created the account as a 19-year-old female named esther meeting tinder's 18-year-old minimum age requirement and says he eventually matched with a 40-year-old man and moved their conversation to the messaging app kik where he made his female persona even younger. >> he asked me to tell him about myself. i told him my name is esther as you know and i'm 16 and i like comic book movies and "star wars." >> reporter: according to police, that man, san mateo police officer robert davies, sent these messages saying esther's age might be an issue but ethan says after that dave

>> because they were looking to get us for lies, for slight misstatements. i looked at what happened to people and it was very unfair. very, very unfair. very unfair. i gave them 1.5 million pages of documents, right? i gave them 400 or 500 witnesses. i let don mcgahn testify. i let him -- he was white house counsel. i let -- >> but you didn't answer questions on obstruction. >> wait a minute. wait a minute. i did answer questions. i answered them in writing. >> not on obstruction. >> i don't know. i answered a lot of questions. they gave me questions, i answered them in writing. >> not on obstruction. >> look, george, you're being a little wise guy, okay. which is typical for you. just so you understand, very simple, it's very simple. there was no crime. there was no collusion. let's bring in our chief white house correspondent jon karl for more. you heard him say he let don mcgahn testify, that was to robert mueller. he's not letting his former counsel testify to congress.

>> reporter: no, there was a strategy that his legal team had, george, that was exactly what the president described. they turned over more than a million pages of documents, let all of those close advisers talk to don mcgahn. made no objection, no effort to exert executive privilege. his subsequent legal team thought that was a huge mistake and now that era of cooperation is over. they want to do everything they can to stymie the congressional investigation. >> a lot of turning in the white house staff. we learned yesterday that white house press secretary sarah sanders is going to be leaving at the end of the month and kellyanne conway, the president's counselor is under fire from a federal watch dog. >> reporter: this is a direct shot at kellyanne conway from a federal watchdog that says she has violated a law called the hatch act which says that federal employees cannot do political activity while they're in their official capacity. the watch dog says that kellyanne conway has been a serial violator of this and actually calls on the president, the white house to fire her saying she should be removed

from her position, but, george, the white house says that is not going to happen. they say kellyanne did nothing wrong. >> jon karl, thanks very much. all of you at home can see my full interview with president trump this sunday at 8:00, 7:00 central right here on abc. coming up as father's day approaches, new survey about dad shaming saying more than half of fathers face it. michael, you have special guests in the park. ♪ >> yes, george, i have some special guests in the park. i'm one degree away from this guy, kevin bacon, and ellie goulding, we are getting the party started here in central park. we'll be right back.

>> 18 songs. that's a lot of songs. >> whole new album from taylor swift. fans have been waiting for this for a long time so they are pumped and that is "pop news," everybody. >> that is "pop news," great job, diane. we really appreciate that. now we're going to go to our "gma" cover story and with father's day just two days away a brand-new survey finds more than half of dads say they've been dad shamed. told they're parenting wrong and whit johnson has more. good morning, whit. >> reporter: michael, good morning to you. we're both dads. i think it's safe to admit that we don't always get things right but a new survey shows that many dads including celebrities say that they are being shamed, under attack, both on social media and sometimes in their own homes. dad shaming, it happened to actor chris pratt on instaam just this week and he's not alone. kanye west, justin timberlake and, yes, even 007, daniel craig have all been burned by dad shaming.

now, a new survey conducted by the university of michigan is finding that more than half of men say they get criticized about how they parent. these two friends and dads couldn't agree more with the findings. >> has to be a dad thing when people look at you and say, hey, this person is definitely a dad and they don't know what they're talking about. it's kind of hurtful. kind of hurtful. because i think when we all have kid, none of us really know how to be a parent. >> i'll be told that i should be paying more attention to my child when we're at the park. never mind the fact that i know exactly where he is and can see him. >> reporter: when the study asked who was the most critical? turns out it's the child's mom. 44% of the time they give negative feedback. >> i think as moms sometimes we just feel there's a certain way you do things and when dads aren't doing them we immediately >> reporter: but these dads say

they simply have a different way of parenting than moms. >> my parenting style is more relaxed and let the kids explore. my mother-in-law, even my own mother, they don't like that. they want me to be on top of my kids a little bit more. >> reporter: the survey also revealing that the bulk of the criticism centers around discipline, what the kids eat and a perception that dads are not paying attention to their children. >> a majority of homes the mom is the primary caregiver so when dad steps in and he does something a little differently, of course, sometimes our knee-jerk reaction is you're doing it wrong. >> reporter: for these dads the solution is simple. >> the best parents know they're not perfect. we're all making this up as we go. >> dads want to be present. they're going to be present and they're going to make mistakes so give us a break. give us a chance to actually parent. >> and michael, a key takeaway, many dads say they are listening and willing to make positive changes so the moral to the story here, less shaming, more constructive criticism could go a long way.

>> ii agree with you 100%. happy father's day. >> happy father's day to you as well. >> no shaming going on here. >> absolutely not. happy father's day to you both. we're going to turn to a "gma" health alert about getting fit as a family. a new study finds they're more successful when they team up to slim down and abc's janai norman has one family's story. >> looks good. >> reporter: healthy eating can be a struggle for busy parents and their children. that had always been the case for celeste robin and her 10-year-old son matthew. together they've been trying to drop some pounds and live a healthier lifestyle but without much success. >> i was overweight as a child and into adulthood. and i never wanted my children to be overweight. >> reporter: when matthew was 6 they teamed up for a weight loss study out of louisiana state university where 16 child/parent pairs were put on a closely tracked diet that included scheduling regular snacks and meals, controlling portions and eating fewer processed foods and they also reduced screen time and increased exercise. mom and son stuck to this plan

for almost five months. >> the dietitian came to our house and she made us do a journal of what he ate and we also put up a pedometer on him and we took pictures of his food. >> every week they challenged me to eat a new fruit and a new vegetable and it actually made me become a less picky eater. >> reporter: matthew also started to exercise more playing his usual soccer and adding swimming, biking and scooting to the mix. the study compared the outcomes of robin and her son with other parents and children who only got nutrition and exercise information through the mail. >> when parents are involved in helping their children to make positive health-related choices around food, nutrition and physical activity, the outcomes seem to be better. >> reporter: the outcome encouraging. matthew and his mom lost between five pounds and ten pounds each and reduced their bmi. >> the main thing would be to

have available snacks that are better for them so instead of having a bag of potato chips and a coke, have water and a banana. >> reporter: as for the children in the other group, they actually gained weight and saw their bmi rise. >> i learned that you can make your life so much better by just doing one thing to help your future. >> reporter: janai norman, abc news, new york. all right, i'm joined with jackie london, a registered dietitian and nutrition director of "good housekeeping." good morning. >> good morning. >> this seems like buddying up really worked for them. >> absolutely and that's because shared experiences lead to healthier habits and healthier habits start at home in the context of your everyday life and, of course, with your loved ones because accountability is so important but when it comes to kids, parents determine what the food is going to be. what's on the menu and kids determine how much they want to have. kids are really in touch with

their hunger and society cues so we don't have to worry about the restriction. we really want to encourage more more often. >> they will eat what you put in front of them. sugary cereals are often just the easiest thing to reach into the cabinet, pull out and give your kid, but you've got healthy alternatives that are fun to make. >> oh, yes, you can just have a lot of fun in the kitchen making meals and snacks with kids and bring them to the grocery store so you're involved in the experience as well like fresh produce. we have here, blueberry, nectarine, strawberries, these are all seasonal right now and lower sugar which makes them a better all alternative. health benefits are abound. >> kids have fun helping with those too and you say that snacking when it comes to snacking it's really important to be mindful about what you're eating. it's easy to eat junk. >> it is, but it's also for adults, you know, we have a tendency to confuse thirst and hunger so it's really important

to stay hydrated and a great way to do that is actually eat yourr al, more produce more often is really your takeaway but have fun with it. adding some of these fruits into your water is going to make for a more flavorful beverage, but without any of the sugar that you'll get. >> so much better than soda. you say it's about making healthy choices as a whole family. >> yes, it is a holistic approach to health, so when it comes to healthier habits that stick and stay with you that lead to a healthier lifestyle overall it's really about being involved and considering where you are when you're eating and the experience that you want to have with your loved one. >> good tips. thank you. we survived the wind. over to you, rob. >> that wind is a beautiful day here. we're at the backyard barbecue pit. we have board games and giant jenga. our friends from miami, folks from texas, cincinnati versus indianapolis.

do this because this is what i was born to do with a 200-year legacy behind me and that day she got on this wire, nothing changed on the wire and did it in half the time. she actually walked in 11 minutes so we're so proud of her, again, this is just as much of a mental activity as a physical activity for sure and she's doing incredible. >> well, you know what, nik, you're 50 feet above the ground now, 25 stories up in times square, and we cannot wait to watch this event. it's "highwire live in times square with nik wallenda" that airs sunday, june 23rd, right here on abc. coming up, ellie goulding performs live. we'll be right back.
