in the mid '90s. the president telling "the hill," quote, i'll say it with great respect, number one, she's not my type. number two, it never happened. it never happened, okay? carroll firing back on cnn. >> i love that. i am so glad i am not his type. >> reporter: in her new book "what do we need men for," the longtime advice columnist described the alleged assault she says happened around 23 years ago inside of a dressing room at bergdorf goodman writing, trump was forcing himself on her, adding, it turns into a colossal struggle. i try to stomp his foot. i try to push him off. alleging it didn't stop until she says i turn, open the door and run out the dressing room. carroll says she never reported the incident to police but abc news spoke with two of her friends who did not want to be named that back her account telling us she confided in them after the alleged incident. trump has faced more than a dozen allegations of sexual misconduct or sexual assault, all of which he has denied. carroll says the president's response to her allegation is similar to that of other accusers. >> he denies.

he turns it around. he threatens any attacks. >> reporter: this is also not the first time the president has commented on his accuser's looks. at a 2016 campaign rally, then candidate trump had this to say about a woman who accused him of groping her on a plane years before. >> believe me, she would not be my first choice. that i can tell you. man, you don't know. that would not be my first choice. >> reporter: now the president has also alleged carroll is just trying to sell books. carroll denies that saying her book is not about trump and has listed several reasons for not coming forward including advice from her friends at the time and also the fear of retaliation. guys? >> okay, tom, thank you. we move to the crisis at the border where hundreds of migrant children have been moved out of a border patrol station after reports of shocking conditions, overcrowding, lack of adequate food, soap, toothbrushes or supervision. our senior congressional correspondent mary bruce is on capitol hill where legislators expect to consider new border funding as early as today. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning,

george. yeah, congress is trying to rush $4.5 billion in emergency aid to the border to try to deal with these conditions that are being described as absolutely dire. hundreds of children have now been moved out of that holding facility in texas after we are told young children were being left to care for each other. an attorney who met with many of these children told us they were sleeping on concrete floors. they were soiled and dirty lacking food and water. many of them growing sick. now it's not clear where these children are now being moved to. as of the end of may, there were 2,400 children at these patrol stations along the border. these are meant to be just temporary holding facilities but many of them are ending up there for days, even weeks and that's because the actual shelters where conditions are much better are out of space and out of money. in all there are now 13,000 roughly children, unaccompanied children, staying at those shelters across the country. meantime, this border funding is being held up by some democrats who are concerned that if they approve the funding they'll be approving the president's border policies they

oppose. >> reporter: yeah, george. everyone on the hill agrees this emergency funding is needed but democrats are divided because many of them are concerned that the president may use that funding to go ahead and fund tactics that they simply don't agree with to further fund his crackdown on immigration and democrats are trying to put conditions on this money and that has the president threatening a possible veto. george? >> mary bruce, thanks very much. michael? now to new developments in the jussie smollett case. chicago police releasing 69 hours of footage including body cam video of smollett with that noose around his neck after the alleged attack. abc's alex perez is in chicago with more. good morning to you, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. smollett denies any wrongdoing. this is our first close-up look at how things unfolded the night he told police he was attacked. >> do you have any weapons or anything in the apartment? >> no. >> reporter: this morning new images of jussie smollett from the night he claimed he was assaulted by two men in an

>> she is not in any way the sort of person who would vanish. this is not a woman who would ever, ever leave her children. >> reporter: fotis dulos' lawyer is claiming jennifer, an accomplished writer, worked on a 500-page manuscript similar to the 2012 best-seller "gone girl" where a woman in a troubled marriage fakes her own death in order to frame her husband. that book was later turned into a hit movie. >> so, your wife has no friends here. is she kind of standoffish, ivy league, rubs people the wrong way? >> she's from new york. she's complicated. >> reporter: luft remembers the manuscript in question saying it was written long before jennifer was married and doesn't resemble "gone girl" at all. >> i think that drawing any comparison to a work of fiction does an incredible disservice to the family. this is not a film. this is not a novel.

this is our real life, that someone we love is missing. >> reporter: this case has garnered national attention. jennifer disappeared after dropping her kids off at school on may 24th. a friend of jennifer's telling "the new york post" this weekend that jennifer was afraid for her life. the mother of five was locked in a bitter divorce and custody battle with her estranged husband. authorities say they discovered blood stains in her garage and believe she was the victim of a serious physical assault. earlier this month fotis dulos and his longtime live-in girlfriend michelle troconis were charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution. according to their arrest warrant surveillance video from the night jennifer went missing captured two people police suspect to be fotis and troconis tossing bags, including a blood-stained sponge into trash cans across the city of hartford. both have pled not guilty and are out on bail. dulos seen out jogging recently wearing his ankle bracelet. troconis is due back in court next month.

fotis in august. as for the dulos' five kids, let's not forget about them, they're currently staying with jennifer's familiar wli family. george? >> eva, thanks very much. let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams for more on this pretty audacious defense. >> yeah, to basically make a great headline, yes, it does, to say it's a comparison to this movie, et cetera. but the problem for them is that you have this videotape. if they can link back him to 30 different locations in hartford where they found blood-stained evidence, her blood on clothing, on sponges. they were also able to link back cell phone, his cell phone to those areas. if they're able to connect him and her to those 30 locations of dumping items and where her blood was found, then this doesn't make any sense. >> how would you explain why a lawyer would even float this in public? >> you know, look, my guess is they're going to say that it's not him on the video, right? they'll say, yes, it looks like

his car. yes, his cell phone says he was in the area. yes, it may appear to look something like him, but it wasn't him who was dumping those items. that's my guess as to what they're going to say and then suddenly they have a little more leeway here. the problem is that, once we see this manuscript -- and it sounds like those who have seen it say it has nothing to do with "gone girl" -- then you've got an even bigger problem for them. i mean, this is as you point out a very audacious effort. >> can you get a conviction on murder if the body is never found? >> absolutely. there have been many cases where there is no body found and there is a murder case brought. it makes it harder in any case to win a murder case without a body. but it is certainly not impossible. you can still present all the evidence that the person has died. but that often becomes the defense, is you can't even prove that the person is dead and that becomes something that the prosecution has to overcome. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. michael. >> all right, george. now to that trouble on the tarmac.

helplessness when you feel like you're locked on this aircraft. >> reporter: o'brien says she raced to text her friend for help but her phone which was low on battery soon died. unable to charge it she says she headed to the cockpit to try to radio for help but couldn't figure out how to work the device. >> so scared i'm going to touch something that's wrong but i knew i had to do something and i found the flashlight and i was so happy. that was like the best moment ever. >> reporter: o'brien says she tried using that flashlight to signal for help to no avail before finally opening a plane's door, writing that she then faced a 40 to 50-foot drop to the pavement below and that she hung out the door trying to get the attention of ground crew before being rescued by a baggage attendant. in a statement to abc news, air canada says that, yes, this customer was left on our aircraft after the flight. we are still reviewing this matter, so i have no additional

details to share. but we have followed up with the customer and remain in contact with her. and o'brien says she hasn't been able to sleep much since this incident, that she's having night terrors waking up anxious and afraid that she's all alone, locked up someplace dark. >> left on a plane. >> hard to imagine. >> all right. thanks, gio. coming up, the commonly prescribed medications that could raise your risk of dementia. and next on "gma", the mother and daughter attacked by an exotic cat right there in their illinois neighborhood. e mother and daughter attacked by an exotic cat right there in their illinois neighborhood.

out the possibility of talks. >> the president has held the door open to real negotiations to completely and verifiably eliminate iran's nuclear weapons program, its pursuit of ballistic missile systems, its support for international terrorism and its other maligned behavior worldwide. all that iran needs to do is to walk through that open door. >> reporter: while iran's response, a spokesman declaring there is now, quote, a permanent closure of diplomacy with the desperate government of america. so iran sending a clear signal the u.s. mixed signals. >> thanks very much. we go to a "gma" health alert. a new study is linking certain drugs including some popular over-the-counter medications to an increased risk of dementia. dr. jen ashton is here with the latest and, doc, this is a scary headline. >> here's the actual study, michael. it appeared in the journal of the american medical association a very large study done in england with people 55

years of age or older, followed them over time to see who developed dementia and looked at a very specific class of medication called anticholinergics and yet another study that showed an increased associated rick of developing dementia with this class. take a look at this list. this is a big class of drugs. these medications can be used to treat psychosis, depression, some bladder issues and those are available over the counter in some cases and epilepsy. not cause and effect but strong association. if you think you may be on one of those medications you should ask your doctor or pharmacist. >> what should you do? >> i like this study because it reminds us we always have to balance risk versus benefit versus option when we talk about any therapies so if you're on one of these medications do not abruptly stop it without talking to your health care provider and, again, i think we have to remember that up to 35% of dementia cases may be, in fact, preventable with lifestyle

private and painful battle with depression and how he conquered it. james middleton opening up once again about his battle with depression. the brother of kate, the duchess of cambridge, telling the british magazine "tatler" he was crippled by the illness. it's what keeps you in bed while anxiety makes you feel guilty for being there. middleton acknowledges he has a charmed existence saying that when the depression struck, he asked himself, what do i have to be depressed about? i've been so lucky with my upbringing. i had all the things i wanted. it's not that i wanted more but there was something that wasn't always there. and the more i ignored it, the more it was taking over. he says that when his sister married the future king of england he was suddenly thrust into the public spotlight and into the public spotlight and he struggled with the public scrutiny. suddenly and very publicly i was being judged about whether i was a success or a failure.

that does put pressure on you. because in my mind i'm doing this irrespective of my family and events that have happened. he hit crisis point in late 2017 and sought professional help. in january of this year he wrote very candidly in "the daily mail" about his mental health problems and said then he came forward to tell his story to surrounding mental health, a cause close to his sister's heart, kate alongside will and harry spearhead the heads together initiative. >> mental health is just as important as physical health. >> reporter: middleton telling "tatler" that therapy has helped him. i am happy. i feel like james middleton again. i feel like i was when i was 13, excited about life. i feel like myself again and i couldn't ask for more. and so not only was it therapy and opening up about his mental health to his family and friends that helped him through the tough times but he also credits his dogs in his recovery and if

they're not happy about that one. talk to us about the woman -- the women who might go out on a so-called foodie call. >> the researchers were looking specifically at this dark triad of personality traits, one they called machiavellianism, their tendency to manipulate or deceive others, even family membe members. psychopathy and narcissism, being social inept so really looking at those three personality traits and the likelihood that if they rated higher with those personality traits then they were more likely to initiate a foodie call. >> i see why they're called dark. >> but do you have any idea where these traits come from? >> not really. based on this study they weren't looking at the where or why these traits were coming out, but more so that they were prevalent in these women that were doing foodie calls. i want to caution people when they look at research like this

because it is very limited. they used a very, very small sample size of women. there are women out there, yes, that would do foodie calls that may be doing it because of these personality traits but it's not taking into consideration the women who, listen, i'm a psychotherapist and i'm going to encourage women to go out with people not their type. perhaps their type has cheated on them in the past so i'll say, go out with someone you're not necessarily romantically attracted to because that person may actually be better for you than the guy that you're always going out with. the study also didn't -- i know, right? >> didn't look at men, right? >> also didn't look at men and i know plenty of men who think about what they might get at the end of a date and say, that's why they went on that date so we have to o ok at men anwomen ananall of the my reason, right. >> always got to put things out for the man. >> thank you so much.
