investigations that involve secretary clinton that were raised during the campaign. or could otherwise be connected to it. >> reporter: that's not the outcome the president was hoping for. >> i win i'm going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> reporter: before departing for his trip to asia -- >> they should be looking at the democrats. he should be looking at podesta and all of that dishonesty. they should be looking at a lot of things and a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department including me. thank you, everybody. >> reporter: now critics are already soungdz the alarm. theto democrat on the house intelligence committee tweeting if the a.g. bends to pressure from the president and appoints a special counsel to investigate trump's vanquished rival it could spell the end of the doj as an independent institution. now, guy, sessions is set to testify on the hill later this morning. and you can be sure he's going to face some h

some hearing. thanks very much. >> that it will. more now on the revelation that donald trump jr. exchanged private messages with wikileaks during the campaign. pierre thomas has more joins us from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: robin, good morning. that's right today new allegations that trump's son don junior was in contact with not just the russians, but another adversary against hillary clinton, wikileaks. new words this morning that donald trump jr. was directly communicating with wikileaks. communication that apparently had direct cause and effect. on october 12th in the final stretch of the campaign, wikileaks wrote don junior say, great to see you and your dad talking about our publications. wikileaks encouraged trump to tell his father to mention their link in their tweets. 15 minutes later then candidate donald trump tweet, very little pickup by the dishonest media of incredible information provided by wikileaks. so dishonest. rigged system. within two days

tweeted out the link. throughout the election donald trump repeatedly made known his fondness for wikileaks which released a spate of damaging e-mails to his opponent in the presidential race hillary clinton. >> we have to go back to wikileaks. oh, wikileaks. >> reporter: but wikileaks had been identified by the intelligence community as being a surrogate for the russian government. publishing damaging information hacked by the kremlin stolen by the dnc and clinton chairman john podesta. >> time to call it out for what it really is, a nonstate hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia. >> reporter: trump junior's exchange began in september of last year during the final stretch of the campaign. wikileaks contacting the son asking him about an anti-trump website which was about to be launched. don junior responded the leadership including steve bannon, kelly anne conway and

loses we think it's more interesting if he does not concede and spends time challenging the media. don junior did not respond to that message. >> don junior not only expressed a willingness to accept the help of the russian government in that meeting at trump tower but here you have him in communication privately, secretly with wikileaks. >> reporter: don junior and his attorney downplayed the wikileaks revelation. don junior tweeting here's the entire exchange of messages with wikileaks mwith my whopping responses he says leaked by congress. >> a lot to talk to with dan abrams and that story right there. unlikely sending messages is illegal but this is now the second time that we know that don junior was open to receiving information connected to the russians and the first time the president trump may have acted on it. >> the fact that president trump tweeted 15 minutes later is what looks really bad here, though. as a legal matter we talked

collusion not a crime per se. they'd have to demonstrate there was involve many, aiding, abetting in the hacking or some conspiracy to violate or commit a crime. >> on collusion no, but previously denials of any contacts with the russians. jeff sessions, as well right now. you can read the letter he wrote making an unlikely there will be a special counsel at the end of the day but there is a real question whether they you had be directing, do anything related to hillary clinton. >> this is a direct violation of what he promised the senate he wouldn't do. and we played a piece there before. we heard a sound bite from him but he was actually even more definitive in a response to senator grassley. senator grassley said to him to be very clear you intend to recuse yourself from both the clinton e-mail investigation and any matters involving the clinton foundation if there are any. sessions respond, yes. >> absolutely clear. >> this is about the clinton foundation. so this seems to me that he cannot both keep his promise to the senate and be

this in any way. >> meantime, these allegations continue to pile up against roy moore down in alabama. appears to be political trouble for him. any legal vulnerability in there would have been back there. what was alleged to have happened a long time could have been a crime back then but statute of limitations expired as we've talked about cosby, weinstein, et cetera, you need some newer allegation for there to be a legal issue. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. >> all right, george. now to new fallout from a tense exchange caught on camera. a dallas lawyer has been fired after getting into an argument with her uber driver. who says she threatened him, hit him, even accused him of kidnapping her. abc's linzie janis is here with that story. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: the uber driver made an audio recording posting it on his facebook page. shortly after his passenger, that dallas prosecutor losing her job that she held for six years. >> oh my god you're an idiot. you're a legitimate [ bleep ].

the district attorney charges 12 more of piazza's former fraternity brothers with a variety of charges after the fbi recovered deleted video from the night the 19-year-old died. >> missing from the evidence in this case was what really happened downstairs in that dark basement that night. this video is the missing link. >> they claimed we don't know what else happened other than what was in the upstairs video and we don't know what happened in the basement. guess what, guys. now we know. >> reporter: in all 26 brothers now charged. many facing allegations from reckless endangerment to manslaughter. police say the students led them to believe a security camera in the fraternity's basement wasn't working. but instead they allegedly deleted the video. prosecutors say the now recovered video shows the brothers giving piazza 18 drinks in less than 90 minutes. that's a drink every 4 1/2 minutes. >> tim never gets his own alcol.

give him alcohol. >> so they just keep handing him more and more. >> the wine, the vodka and the beer. >> reporter: at a previous hearing the court had already seen other videos showing piazza stumble through the house. at one point falling down a flight of stairs. no one in the house called for help for 12 hours. one defense attorney says his client is innocent. >> i'm very confident that when we get to litigate these issues in a courtroom, not in a press conference the charges regarding involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, hazing and reckless endangerment and the other serious charges will be dismissed against michael. >> reporter: this morning the parents of tim piazza have a warning for other families. >> talk to your children. tell them not to get involved in this nonsense. >> your life is too important to put it on the line for a brotherhood or a sisterhood. it matters. >> reporter: and they say they've heard from parents all

this letter and it just meant so much. it said this, tim's life mattered to me. robin. >> absolutely, absolutely. how did police even know about the deleted video? >> reporter: so that video that they already had, they actually saw the time stamps and, robin, they saw there was a big missing chunk. they said, boy, that doesn't make sense, they sent that to the fbi. the fbi recovered it. >> great police work there. all right, gio, thank you very much. dan abrams is back along with our senior legal correspondent sunny hostin. so, new tape. new charges. >> yeah, and, look, it's very disturbing that they apparently deleted this tape. i mean that in and of itself a crime but i say two thing, number one a tape can make all the difference being able to watch something happen can change everything. on the one hand you can say we think this happened. we think that happened. watching it happen is a totally different story. but with that said, i'm not certain that this changes the legal analysi

remember, a judge has already dismissed the involuntary manslaughter aggravated assault charges. what we see in the basement is the drinking part. and so i don't know that this is going to lead the judge to say, this now rised to the level of involuntary manslaughter. >> completely disagree with my good friend, dan abrams. i mean, you know, involuntary manslaughter difficult to prove as a prosecutor because it's an unintentional killing. people are more comfortable when you can see intent. but in order to prove involuntary manslaughter you have to prove a causal link between a defendant's conduct and the victim's death. this is the missing link because the vehicle shows he was plied with 18 drinks in 82 mens. but for the alcohol consumption and but for them giving it to him and but for the fact that they didn't even help him, he would be alive today. that's all the prosecutors need here. >> they knew all that before and so -- >> they didn't have a video of it they didn't know who gav

to him. >> they knew all the facts surround what happened and the judge made that decision. >> they deleted it. so they obviously knew something was wrong. >> right, no question. that's a separate crime. so, you just have to evaluate both the crimes and the individuals separately which is we can't lump all these people in together and say, oh, there are 18 people who did this or this. you have to evaluate each and every one of these cases separately and say what did this person do? >> i think the prosecutors have done -- now you have this missing link four out of the ten defendants have been charged with involuntary manslaughter. i would bet my bottom dollar those are the four that plied him with the drinks is the missing link. >> remember, again, it's critical to remember the judge already evaluated involuntary -- >> without the video, dan. >> you feel that -- seeing the video. >> it makes a huge difference. >> i made so many cases where the video maybes all the difference. when you can place those jurors at the scene of the crime and you can tell those jurors they knew they did something

and that's why they deleted the tape that's all i need. >> this isn't about jurors. right now you're talking about can you overcome it with the judge and that's the first question they're going to have to deal with which is can they convince this judge that things are now fundamentally different. prosecutors had already by the way refiled the charges. the prosecutors already said, we think there was a problem here. we're refiling the charges, we'll add additional evidence and this will bolster the case. >> very doubtful a judge seeing this video and the death of a young promising man is going to dismiss these charges. >> most serious charges. we're not talking about dismissing all -- dismissing the deleting the tape and -- >> i'll see you back at this table when the judge does that. >> maybe. i'll bet you at least some of the involuntary manslaughter charges will be dismiss. >> i'd take that bet. >> i remember when timothy's mother and father and brother were right here in the studio and this moment is for them. they have been very steadfast and having

it was -- you don't delete something if you don't think -- >> the video speaks the truth. no matter what you think about this case that video tells you what happened. >> it implies to me they knew what was wrong. >> thank you both very much. we'll sway on it. george. >> thanks, robin. coming up our abc news exclusive, the father and daughter targeted in an elaborate kidnapped and saying how they avoided becoming victims and the police found in the suspect's car.
