>> i should have never did that. >> reporter: they reveal her most intimate details about prince charles. >> hbo hacked. the home of "game of thrones" breached. were secrets about next week's episode stolen? >> why did you do that? >> the revelations that could be spilled online about one of the most popular shows. a lot of people watching online. will "game of thrones" be leaked? we'll talk about that this morning. good morning, america. also a lot of major news out of the white house this morning. you know, despite previous denials it turns out that president trump himself orchestrated that first misleading response to don junior's campaign meeting with the russians and the white house shakeup. communications director anthony scaramucci out. even though he never actually officially started the job. >> out after 11 days. a

mail" dining at the trump hotel in d.c. last night just hours after being forced out as the new chief of staff. retired general john kelly takes over. >> had is the latest in a string of shake-ups. look at the turnover. the national security adviser, fbi director, press second, chief of staff, two communications directors have either been fired or forced out in just the first six months. >> our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has more on scaramucci's exit sen that new report about the role president trump played after his son don junior's meeting with the russian lawyer. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning to you. you know, the president took to twitter to say there is no chaos inside his white house, but then came the ouster of his communications director as you guys just said after only 11 days on the job. now the new bombshell about russia. overnight that infamous trump tower meet be between don junior and the russian lawyer. abc news

trump personally dictated a statement released from his son to the media claiming that preelection meeting with don junior, jared kushner and former campaign chairman paul manafort was primarily about russian adoptions and was not a campaign issue at the time. that statement later shown to be misleading with don junior ultimately admitting it actually was a campaign-related meeting and that he agreed to see the lawyer after being promised dirt on hillary clinton. according to "the washington post," the president was on air force one returning from last month's g20 summit in germany. some in his circle wanted the statement to be truthful but the president ignored that. advisers fearing his intervention could place the president and his team in legal jeopardy. last month the president's legal team denying his involvement. >> the president didn't sign off on anything. the president wasn't involved in that. >> reporter: this morning, the president's lawyer denouncing "the washington post" report telling abc news, apart from being of no cons

characterizations are misinformed, inaccurate and not pertinent. this after the president declared his white house chaos-free on the very day his communications director was forced out after just 11 days on the job, anthony scaramucci's abrupt departure coming just hours after the swearing in of the new white house chief of staff john kelly. >> he will do a spectacular job. i have no doubt. >> reporter: tanked with delivering the white house message scaramucci known simply as the mooch went off message in that crude tirade in "the new yorker." some parts so profane we can't even describe what he said on tv. the white house says the president was none too happy about it. >> the president certainly felt that anthony's comments were inappropriate for a person in that position. >> reporter: comments like threatening to fire staffers over leaks. using expletives to attack chief strategist steve bannon and carrying out a vendetta against

former chief of staff reince priebus who he called a paranoid schizophrenic. his ouster also fueled by that bold declaration in his first briefing. >> he did, you know, give me the orders today that i'm in charge and i report directly to him. >> reporter: the white house now issuing a stunning shift in the chain of command. everyone including the president's own daughter and son-in-law now report to the chief of staff. and white house sources tell us that the decision to force out anthony scaramucci largely fell to john kelly. really it came down to that crude interview in "the new yorker." kelly wants to bring discipline to the west wing and this seems like it was his first order of business. >> first day, okay, cecilia, thanks very much. let's talk more with cokie roberts and avalon of "the daily beast." john, on this russia story it seems like you get the truth only after a string of lies and denials. >> that is the pattern, unfortunately, and what's significant about this story is it shows the president is willing to

russia investigation response and he's also willing apparently to directly mislead the american people. with statements proven to be false, whatever the president's lawyer said is proven not to be accurate so it's very stunning and it shows a degree of direct presidential involvement which itself is news and could very much -- >> and, cokie, let me bring this to you. it's not a crime to lie to the press by any means but this does bolster the case of obstruction of justice showing the president being part potentially of a cover-up. >> absolutely. it gives robert mueller lots of fuel for his fire. but it also shows you that the president simply doesn't listen to anybody. and it's one thing for him to sort of go off with the boy scouts and talk about, you know, lewd things and talk to the cops about police brutality and tweet all kinds of stuff in the morning but for him to not listen to his lawyers who are tein

mistake shows you that he's not willing to listen in any kind of situation. so does that mean he's not willing to listen to his generals? does it mean he's not willing to list listen to people who know what they're talking about in terms of washington legislation? i think the answer to that is yes? we'll find out now how much he'll listen to general john kelly, his new chief of staff. on day one he did listen and general john kelly demanding that scaramucci had to go. >> this had apparently been a condition of kelly's hiring. he had been asked by trump in the past but said, look, if this is going to happen i'll have to have real authority over the white house and that's what's been lacking, the problem with reince priebus. too many reporting directly to the president including scaramucci and so it's significant that when the marine comes in he kicked out the mooch trying to impose a degree of discipline and i think bring personal decency to the office. things that the administration really needs and he's known for so it could be the last best chance for a reset in the west wing >> that's the situation right now, cokie. but we also

yesterday i think by cnn that apparently general kelly was angered by the firing of james comey and i wonder if the president might be buying potential trouble down the road. he's brought in someone who he can't really fire. >> well, he really can't and it does help to bring a grown-up into the white house as we saw with leon panetta and the clinton administration but the person in charge is donald trump. and there's not going to be anybody in the end who can stand up to him and say we have to do it this way, mr. president. that might last for a week or two, but it's not going to last for the duration of this first administration. >> we shall see, cokie roberts, john avlon, thanks very much. we move on to breaking news about the crisis in venezuela. two opposition leaders taken in the middle of the night as the u.s. imposes new sanctions, our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is following these latest developments. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is truly an ominous turn followg

that gave president maduro nearly unlimited powers and an election that the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. called a sham. take a look at this overnight surveillance video which appears to show those two opposition leaders, one of them who went to college here in the u.s., being forcibly removed from their home. state security agents hauling one man away in his pajamas as a woman is heard screaming for help from neighbors. both men have been highly critical of maduro's plan to rewrite the constitution which has sparked protests blamed for more than 120 deaths, robin. >> the trump administration just announced new financial sanctions against venezuela and its president. >> reporter: they have but maduro remains defiant calling president trump an emperor and saying he will not be intimidated. here at home there are concerns this crisis could lead to a spike in gas prices, one economist says prices could rise 30 cents per gallon if

bans venezuelan oil, robin. >> all right, martha, thank you. >> that big step has not been taken yet. we move to tropical storm emily. it hit florida's gulf coast with heavy rain and winds and the governor declared a state of emergency. even thousand it's been downgraded to a depression florida still feeling its effects. abc's gio benitez is on the scene in miami. gio, good morning. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. emily is offshore. but it came in fast and furious dumping up to 8 inches of rain across the state. tropical storm emily suddenly forming off the gulf coast monday. kicking off the week with a washout. creating a nightmare on the roads, slick conditions sending this tractor trailer over a guardrail in tampa. dangling over a highway overpass. strong winds blowing up to 45 miles per hour forcing officials to shut down the sunshine skyway bridge. in ft. myers, the heavy rain ripping the roof from

hotel. the coast guard swiftly rescuing these two brothers hanging on to a navigation light after their boat's engine died and hit the structure while sinking in the tampa bay. >> imperative every mariner boater check their weather forecast before getting out there. >> reporter: nearly 18,000 homes and businesses without power. now the governor declaring a state of emergency across 31 counties. and right now florida officials are warning about ripcurrents along much of florida's eastern coast all the way up to georgia. robin. >> all right, gio. we'll talk about that with more on emily's track and where we'll see those that gio referred to. let's go to ginger. >> hey, good morning to you. lease start right here where you can see a little spin left of depression emily so you can see it off the coast there, just east of the center of the east coast, now, what i want to tell you is about rip currents. we not only have advisories in place from vero beach but through daytona if you're cocoa -- if

at the beach up to jacksonville and southern tip of georgia rip currents are possible as it heads out to sea it stays that way but should leave a few more inches of rain especially in southwest florida that already got hit so hard. coming up, portland, oregon has potential to hit an all-time high record. midflight air scare when an overheated mobile phone battery sparked a fire on a flight with more than 200 people on board, crews quickly worked to extinguish the blaze and adrienne bankert has the story, good morning, adrienne. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. it's deja vu on board a plane, another cell phone or cell phone battery catching fire. it comes at a time of heightened security at airports nationwide and it's a sobering reminder of what not to put in your luggage. this morning, investigators sorting through how a lithium battery pack or mobile phone caught fire inside an overhead bin on a packed international flight. the crew noticing smoke

after meal service on board a viafore langan airlines jet extinguishing the fire. >> there's no single safety standard manufacturing the standard for lithium ion batteries. they could be made anywhere by anyone and you never know what you're going to get. the cheaper they are, the less well built they are and higher the risk of fire. >> reporter: the faa recently conducting new tests on lithium ion batteries which can smoke and explode like this. so far this year the faa has reported at least 18 incidents involving lithium ion batteries on airplanes or in airports lithium ion batteries power most of our personal electronics. >> you're getting more and more lithium ion batteries being carried on airplanes because people's personal devices need to be powered by these small batteries that hold a good charge. >> reporter: it was a lithium ion battery in a charger spewing smoke that forced this jetblue plane to make an emergency landing in may. in was it from a passenger or

>> no, this is a battery fire from a laptop. >> reporter: and you know what, the faa is saying never ever put any electronic, phone, laptops in your checked bags. always keep them with you or put them in a carry-on and power those devices down. in the event there is a fire it would happen in cabin and the crew would have time to put it out. robin. >> good advice there. all right, adrienne, thank you. going to turn to what could be decision day in the trial making national headlines. a former drug executive's fate is now in the hands of the jury as he faces several counts of fraud. abc's linsey davis is here with those details. >> reporter: good morning. after about a month of testimony, the jury is now heading into day two of deliberations tanked with deciding the fate of martin shkreli, the man some have called the most hated man in america. while awaiting a verdict in his federal securities fraud trial, martin shkreli, the infamously

outspok outspoken fa outspoken executive had this to say on thursday. the trial is over tomorrow. [ bleep ]. >> in our phone interview with shkreli back in 2015 he shrugged off the notion there was any validity to the harsh criticism of him after he notoriously raised the price of an-and cancer drug by 5,000%. there was a lot of vitriol targeting you, one of the headlines even saying that you were the most hated man in america. >> i'm not a greedy person. i care about patients. i spend most of my time reading about medical research. >> reporter: the 34-year-old now faces up to 20 years in prison for unrelated charges of securities fraud and conspiracy if convicted. prosecutors claim shkreli ran his former companies two hedge funds and a pharmaceutical company like a ponzi scheme aledging after he lost millions of investor money he looted a second pharmaceutical company to pay those investors back.

but the defense trying to patient shkreli as a visionary countered there were no victims, that in the end no one lost any money. much to his lawyer's dismay since his arrest in 2015 shkreli has continued to respond to his critics on social media. >> i don't really care about people hating me. >> reporter: while shkreli faces up to 20 years in prison he would likely receive far less time under sentencing guidelines but it appears he still has his sense of humor referencing the latest white house shake-up he posted on facebook that he is in for comms director. >> he is shameless. >> big trump supporter as well taking it in stride. >> i don't think stranger things have happened. >> not yet. >> thanks very much. now to the search for two missing hikers. a young couple trekking at the ja joshua tree national park and we have the latest. >> reporter: overnight search and rescue teams looking for a

joshua knee national park in california. >> as far as resources we've thrown everything we can to find these two young people. >> reporter: park officials say 20-year-old rachel nguyen and 21-year-old joseph orbeso went hiking and disappeared early friday morning. both were considered to check out of their hotel friday morning, their belongings all left behind in their room. >> we have no idea what their intentions were, what their plans were, how long they were going to be here. >> reporter: their vehicle, a burgundy lexus recovered near the park's west entrance in an area known as the maze loop. trackers believed they were headed into a canyon before they vanished. volunteers and rescuers searching in the extreme heat, triple-digit temperatures and rugged terrain. >> it's been really rough out there. the searchers are going through a lot of water. >> reporter: this morning, park rangers say there's no reason to suspect foul play.

their families say the pair are experienced hikers and planned the trip to celebrate nguyen's birthday. today would make five days in the desert. not a very friendly place this time of year. temperatures expected to reach 110. robin. >> oh, my goodness, all right, jim, thank you. we'll go to ginger for fires in the west and record heat also in the forecast, ginger. >> 50 large wildfires burning in the west. we start with the pictures out of lake elsinorelsinore. 10% contained and a fire just south of there, nine firefighters were treated for heat-related illness. we'll see more of that all the way up to seattle this week.
