>> reporter: it was directly involving putin's interests and one memo written by manafort, van gun we will be offering a gait focus both internally enexternally the policies of the putin if government. george, manafort has flatly denied in the past including an interview last year with you that he had any contacts. it's important to point out that this contract by the way was 2006 to 2009 so in other words, long before he went to the work for the trump campaign. we've just heard from manafort in a written statement on this saying i worked with the russian billionaire almost a decade ago representing him on business and personal matte

where he had investments. my work with him did not involve russian political interests. that would appear to be corrected by the memo that manafort himself wrote in 2005. >> his name came up several times i think more than two dozen times at that hearing of the house intelligence ties. the white house tried to distance themselves from manafort. >> there's been discussion of manafort who played a limited role for a limited amount of time. >> reporter: george, that is a demonstrably false statement. he was the chairman and began working for the trump campaign back in march of 2016. stayed with the campaign all the way until august. he ran the convention for donald trump to say that he played a very limited role is not true. >> no comment from the white

>> reporter: no comment from the white house. i reached out to a senior official who said to me why would we comment on paul manafort's contracts? suggesting there would be no comment to come. >> thanks very much. president trump's supreme court nominee also facing a battle on capitol hill. democrats grilling judge neal gorsuch for ten hours on tuesday in a high stakes hearing. abc's terry moran is at the supreme court and joins us now with the latest. good morning, terry. >> reporter: day two they'll keep him on the griddle trying to portray him as too friendly to corporations, too tangled up in partisan republican politics and beholden to president trump but gorsuch very calmly and firmly says i'm my own man. after a second day of testimony, nc neal gorsuch standing firm. >> i can't guarantee you more than i'm a fair judge but i can

from "new york times" that obama administration in order for cyberwarfare to sabotage the launches from the north korean government. >> there's been numerous failed attempts largely with their mobile missiles and "the new york times" did that extensive investigation into which found that over the last few years the pentagon had stepped up its cyberattacks on the missile program but it is really unclear whether that's the cause of the failures. >> martha raddatz, thank you very much. >> george, now to new details about that electronic ban on flights heading to the u.s. from eight countries. abc news learned the ban was sparked by new intelligence about possible terror blots. our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas is in washington with new reporting on that good morning, pierre. >> reporr: good morning, robin. we have disturbing new evidence as isis may be evolving designing new capacities to target commercial airlines. sources tell abc news the latest restrictions for electronics on certain u.s. bound

>> as we know this isn't the only risk associated with breast implant. >> no such thing as zero risk. bleeding, infection, leak or rupture of the implants. scar tissue. when you talk about the signs and symptoms of this implant associated lymphoma talking about pain, swelling, a lump, asymmetry but overall the vast majority of women do very, very well. >> so what do they need to know. >> educate, educate. if you have an implant or getting one, know the type of implant it is. there is no need for women who have implants right to you to alter their routine follow-up based on this report. but it is a reminder if you have silicone implant, mris recommended. >> it is great to have you back. you've been in our thoughts and prayers. >> michael. >> thank you, robin. now to that manhunt for former teacher accused of kidnapping a 15-year-old girl. we're learning more about what he was

department mistaken for a criminal on the loose. he is now calling for an investigation into racial profiling. we're going to speak exclusively with wyclef in a moment but first abc's kayna whitworth has those details for us. ♪ lifestyles of the rich and famous ♪ >> reporter: monday night grammy winner wyclef jean claiming he was a victim of racial injustice hand cuffed and detained by the los angeles county sheriff's department. >> y'all see the police have handcuffs on me. they just took off my haitian bandanna. that's what's going on right now with wyclef in l.a. right now. >> reporter: deputies responding to what they're describing as a violent crime. pedestrians saying they were pistol whipped in west hollywood. jean was found nearby in a dark hoodie and bandanna matching the suspect's outfit. riding in a vehicle fitting the suspect's car. the rapper was then handcuffed and detained for six

of the kids out there and for me this is bigger than a black and white issue, so let's start off by the sheriff's report. what this sheriff report says there is a car which is tailored 200 with a paper license plate. so, that's what the suspect -- that's what the people saw. my car was stopped and it had no paper plate license plate. that's the first one. after i got out the car, automatically the minute i got -- i have my backpack on, i'm coming from the recording studio. i'm automatically rushed. when i'm rushed guns are drawn which is the part that you don't see. after the guns are drawn i'm pulled over. the minute this happens, i say, you know, i'm going to sue the lapd because i don't know what's going on. i'm in shock and awe. i'm not even -- no one says this is the sheriff's department

a step further. my name is wyclef jean then i'm taken and put in handcuffs in the back and i'm explaining. they said do you have an i.d. i said my hotel is right here basically you stopped me in front of my hotel. i can go in. absolutely nothing, no form of conversation. >> no communication with you and why you were being stopped. >> no communication, yes. i understand still because i have family in law enforcement so i'm still with you. so, so then i'm taking inside of the police car so now i'm detained in the back of the car with handcuffs 100%. now, the video that you saw, i told people basically start rolling and at the same time there was other people rolling. the point that i want to makand that basically i feel that i was targeted as a black man. it's clear and it was obvious because when i was getting out of the car and the way that the cops rushed me, the

that i was having with them, it was a silent and a deaf conversation so as a citizen, i feel that it's only right that if i'm telling you my name and who i am, it only takes a second with the technology that we have to basically press a button and google and say, you know this, is wyclef jean. so, i stepped up in the sense of at the end of the day i have family on both sides of the lens, but i got a chance to see what happens with a citizen versus a police firsthand and i have to tell you i was scared for my life to the point where i could have acted different and if i acted different, something else would have happened. >> we have seen that in the past and i know you were saying about the license plate, but the car itself was similar to what they were looking for. >> yes. >> two passengers, those things were similar. did you do anything? do you do your actions in any

way cause for the police for concern to think you could possibly be that that suspect? did you go -- they said they told you not to go to the trunk. did you do that. >> it would be impossible for wyclef jean for the cops to tell me not to go to the trunk for me to go to the trunk. but once again, it shows you like the judicial power of one person versus another. so basically i'm alive to tell my story, right. and my story is not a citizen versus police or police versus a citizen. it's the idea of how can citizens trust police, so in order for citizens to trust the police, yes, we must apply the law but in applying the law we have to find judicial which is fair for the citizen so if i'm telling you my name and i'm saying to you that i am not that person, once you put me in cuffs what do you think happens when my daughter sees me in cuffs and i tell her when the police stop you, this is how you have to

you have to be civil. you cannot curse and she sees her dad doing all of this on television and at the -- >> you were civil the whole time. >> that's right. i was civil the whole time. you sea me. i was very civil in the conversation. >> let me -- we have a legal analyst, dan abrams and i want to bring him in and ask a question. dan, the police, they say they were just following due process. >> yeah, i mean, look, the facts become critical here but let's be clear on something. wyclef has every right to be upset. every right to be outraged. he was pulled over wrongly for something that had nothing to do with him. but now let's evaluate it through the police prism, right. you have a gold car that they're looking for. an older gold car with a female driver and a passenger, male, wearing some sort of bandanna, the actual suspects are captured four blocks away. does that mean that they got it right? no. but does that mean that what they did was

also no. i think one of the critical factors and i'd like to know from wyclef when he was pulled over in those six minutes, did they tell him why? what they were investigating? because i think that's crucial in terms of police procedure. >> you heard did they tell you why. >> yeah, definitely, so, the number one -- >> what did they say. >> the number one thing is when i was pulled over, and when i got out the car i was not told why, so if i'm not told why and guns are drawn on me, how am i supposed to react? that's one. number two is also when i'm handcuffed now i tell the officer my name, absolutely no reactions. then i'm put inside of the car, not until i'm put inside of the car and i'm in cuffs six minutes i'm told, okay, there an investigation and -- >> that's when they told you. >> can you imagine like what could have happened within that six minutes if you roll up on me and i don't know what's going o

believe in law enforcement doing their jobs. this is not a conversation about wyclef versus the police at all but it's a conversation about treating citizens rightly, so was the police doing their job, yes, the police was doing their job but the part of the job that they did not do right is the idea of me being a citizen and the idea of putting me in cuffs. yes, i don't only have the right to be upset, i have the right to basically challenge the judicial system as a citizen. >> yeah, and you answered dan's question and, dan, also you realize there was a broader issue here. >> yep, there's no question. this is part of a broader discussion that needs to continue to be had in this country. but i think that as we have that discussion, let's talk about the lines, right? let's not just say because someone is pulled over and it was a mistake as it turns out therefore police did wrong or did bad. let's talk about exactly what happened. let's talk about the procedures exactly as

example, the police are saying that there were certain actions that he took that made them uncomfortable. police do put people in cuffs sometimes very much temporarily as they try and sort something out. that's not necessarily bad procedure. that's not necessarily wrong. and furthermore, i'd say imagine someone being pulled over and saying i'm wyclef jean, that could be considered a joke by some people, you got to verify it. you got to be able to confirm it. >> and to dan's point, definitely i verified that who i was and the other point of what's going on that i want dan to understand is at the end of the day, i'm not saying that the police were wrong. the part of the issue and the long conversation that we have to have, how do we establish real relationships with the police and the citizen so wyclef is alive so as a person is alive i got out of the

i'm telling you i did nothing wrong, i kept my backpacks, my hands were down. i never went in the trunk so whoever tampered with that information and said wyclef was in the trunk, i mean this is l.a. there's cameras so the sheriff's department have to also be very careful about the information they're saying. >> there is going to be a formal investigation. thank you for having this very important discussion. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. ition] uh-- wha-- woof! eeh-- woof! wuh-- [silence] [engine roars to life] [dog howls] ♪ dramatic opera music swells from radio ♪ [howling continues]

with bill belichick's posse as he enters the locker room moments after tom brady led his team to an historic fifth super bowl title. in this newly released video you can see brady pulling off his jersey and handing it to a league employee. then see that employee carrying the jersey and brady's pads through the tunnel to the locker room. that is when authorities say ortega goes from strolling into the locker room to trolling for a split second there's this shot crisp hd images of his face. he sips some water and has that black shoulder bag. but when he leaves the locker room just minutes later there's a black plastic bag under his arm. authorities say containing this priceless jersey. >> did someone take my jersey. >> reporter: mexican authorities confiscated him and since not a peep from ortega so tracked him down at his home. we'll see if he's willing to talk to us.

and now to relationship advice from the original couple, best-selling author bruce feiler is turing to the bible and first david wright and couples who draw lessons from adam and eve. >> reporter: we all remember when harry met sally but how well do we remember when adam met eve? author bruce feilor sees adam and eve as the original star-crossed lovers. this is the definitive not unhappily ever after story. >> i think it's about forgiveness and resilience, they must stay together. >> reporter: his new book out this week has even insired an adam and eve approach to couples therapy looking for answers in the book of genesis to the ultimate question. how do you make love last? >> embedded in the story is the meaning of love. >> reporter: marriage cou

pllym and peter gathered a few couples. >> adam and eve, you're on a team and, you know, win or lose, you win or lose together. >> at the end of the day the consequence is shared. >> because they're both put out of the garden at the end regardless of whose fault it was. >> adam and eve are alone. maybe that is what appeals to me. it's you and i, babe. >> reporter: knowing what they know now. >> there's no way i'd listen to the make. >> i hate snakes. >> if i ate it and you ate it and god said dan, you shouldn't have eaten that apple what would you say. >> i'd take the fall. >> reporter: writing their own stories side by side just like adam and eve. for "good morning america," david wright, abc news, new york. >> and now i'm here with best-selling author of the first love story bruce feilor. hey, bruce. >> nice to see you. >> very

listening to those cups and adam and eve and why did you write this book and why did you think it needed to be told. >> it begins at my kitchen table of i have a working wife as you do. add less sent twin daughters and talk a lot about the changing way men and women are relating to each other and, you know, it's always about the new and the science and technology but is there nothing from the past and we were in the sistine chapel a few years ago looking up at adam and eve and thought, oh, my gosh, this has been at the heart of every conversation of men and women for 3,000 years. it must have lessons and got to go on the greatest garden of ever, the footsteps of the bible in jerusalem to rome, to hollywood and figure out what can they teach us today? their lesson is unbelievably powerful. >> you went around the world for this. what is the most important thing you discovered? >> i think first of all it's the love story. it is a success. they come together. they separate. she wants independence. they get kicked ow. she comes back to adam. they stay together. they have children, it's a

back together and have more and so i think that this is a success story but here's what everybody in this room will know is that eve has been dumped on. eve is victim of the greatest character assassination the world has ever known and for women especially who were struggling to have balance in their relationships it matters that this story be a success because it's the example that all of us are resting on. >> and this story, you say, has a lot of great advice for modern couples so we did a little survey and asked modern couples, is talking to each other, communication a real challenge? and we had a little survey. here's what they said. 67% said yes and 33% said no and what can adam and eve teach us and modern day about communication? >> so here's what i learned. i went to write a book about adam and eve and ended up writing one about love and relationships. love is a story we tell with another person of you've got your story. i've got my story. this is a story we tell together. they are the first why

an example that there are good and bad types when. hit a bump in the road you add a new chapter so when you're in a relationship, basically you're constantly revising your own love story. see it that way it helps you get you the good and bad types. >> we have couples with relationship questions in our audience. dana and john, you've been married for 28 years and what is your question? >> yeah, hi, bruce. i was wondering how couples in a relationship can forgive, build trust and move on. >> the number one thing we know resilience is incredibly important to relationships. adam and eve show that a lot. here's the thing about forgiveness. what the research shows is that you do it for yourself actually not for your partner, okay, because the hollywood version you make a choice about love and it's happily ever after but those of us in long-term relationships know you don't make it once you make the choice almost every day over and over again. so if you see it as an ongoing series of decisions, it will help you keep focused on the fact that we are calledo

successful relationship. it's what actually we are asked to do in the bible because god wants us to succeed and to be happy. >> and great answer. great suggestion there. one more question from chuck and sue. been married 40 year, two kids. what is your question? >> well, adam and eve went through a lot of adversity in their relationship. as do modern couples. how can modern couples survive -- how do marriages survive through adversity? >> i think that it has a lot to do with balance ultimately. is that one person cannot take the lead in every occasionment you sort of find the strengths that you have and you balance it and you keep moving forward because, you know, positive psychology told us happiness is other people. the first thing god says in the bible, loneliness, okay, god does not want us to be alone. we're called to be together. what i'm saying here in general with the first love story, michael and to all of you if you want to strengthen and deepen your relationship, right, in this moment when we're pulling, if you want to come

appreciate the role of love and family, come on this great adam and eve road trip with me and i think you'll be surprised and learn something but in the end i think you'll be uplifted their story is a success and reminds us that story is still the success, the role models that we need today. [ applause ] >> and it's something for everyone of all ages to learn about love and relationships as well. >> we all can tell it to our daughters, you and i. >> don't date boys, that's what i'm telling mine. all right. bruce, thank you.
