this morning on "world news now," where's the bill? as millions of americans await the fate of health care plans lawmakers on capitol hill are on the hunt trying to find out where the committee's working up to a plan to repeal and replace obamacare. luckily, there are cameras there to follow them. their bizarre and familiar game of cat and mouse. >> we have new reporting on the other big story out of washington overnight. attorney general jeff sessions removing himself from investigating the trump campaign. but many are wondering if he was trying to hide his contacts with the russian ambassador or if it was just an honest mistake. we're going to go live to moscow to see how russians are reacting to all of this news. >> and new this half hour, rael agents and buyers caught in the act. >> what happens all too often when homeowners are away and their open house turns into open

season on their possessions. what you need to know before you turn your keys over to an agent. and lord have mercy. it is a good day because she's back, releasing her first new song in more than three years. and katy perry goes for a brand-new look post-orlando bloom. do we like it? what do we think? is it too miley cyrusesque? all that and much more in "the skinny." it is fry yea, march 3rd. ♪ >> announcer: from abc news, this is "world news now." >> i'm talking about her hair. you're talking about the music. i like that you're so positive about the music. >> the music looked good. the video looked good. the hair looked good. >> she's all grown up. >> serena loves it. we're all loving it. to quote those great poets, i'm just a bill. i'm only a bill. and if they vote for me on capitol hill, then i'll be a law. you remember those guys. >> i do.

i mean, i remember it being played over and over again. i wasn't around in 1975, but the rewinds were amazing. >> yes, but apparently lawmakers believe that theory. >> republican senator rand paul accusing house republicans of keeping the draft under lock and key. he was joined by house minority whip steny hoyer who streamed his trek through the hauls on facebook. >> the future of the affordable health care law has dominated town hall meetings across the country, americans insisting that they'll be in dire straits if it were repealed. abc's serena marshall is here with all the detail boston. >> good morning. thanks again for being here. >> so this was a capital quest through the marbled hauls of capitol hill for the bill that could ultimately repeal and replace obamacare. a search throughout congress for the room where congress members working on legislation were meeting. the event reminiscent of 2009 when democrats were accused of shrouding their health care bill that ultimately became the affordable care act in secrecy. but that didn't stop democrats and republicans from some

theatrics last night with gop senator rand paul leading an the charge. >> i think there's a bill in there. >> i asked for a copy of the bill and i'm being told i can't have a copy of the bill. i'm also being told by others i should sit back and take it, and i don't think that's the way the american process should work. i think it should be done in the open. i'm part of the legislature. shouldn't i be part of the process? >> reporter: it is common for complex legislation to be worked on in private but not common for a gop congressman to be leading the charge to bring the gop bill out in the public before it's fully written. kendis and adrienne, the house committee is working on this markup are expected to introduce it next week and we should get a good look at that two days before. >> so just to continue on that theme, apparently the bill says while i'm sitting in committee, but i know i'll be a law some day. it says it's a long, long wait. >> it's a long, long wait. they have to go through committee at least and then it

has to get voted out of committee and introduced to the full house and the senate has to do their side and they have to meet up. we have a long time before this happen. >> a long time all schooled by schoolhouse rock. >> they need to know that. >> thank you for the report, too. we appreciate it. president trump is defending attorney general jeff sessions after he removed himself from nel investigations into russian interference in the presidential race. >> sessions made the announcement following revelations he had spoken twice to the russian ambassador to the u.s. before the election but failed to disclose it during his confirmation hearing and he acknowledged that he should have answered differently. >> in retrospect, i should have slowed down and said but i did meet one russian official a couple of times. that would be the ambassador. >> overnight sessions telling fox news that recusal is not an admission of any wrongdoing. insisting he was forthright and truthful but democrats like house minority leader nancy pelosi say sessions is unfit to be attorney general and they're calling on him to step down.

>> the fact that the attorney general, the top cop in our country, lied under oath to the american people is grounds for him to resign. >> and the senate minority leader chuck schumer also calling for sessions to resign saying it's important to insure the integrity of the investigation by appointing a special prosecutor with no ties to either party. >> important to note too that the democrats have been really not interested in having him in the office in the first place, if you recall. they were trying to block his confirmation. >> wheen meanwhile, the white house has confirmed the president's son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner met with the same russian envoy in december along with the incoming national security adviser michael flynn. abc's cecilia vega has more on the ambassador, sessions and the president's reaction. >> reporter: during a tour of a new aircraft carrier in virginia president trump offering his full support for his embattled attorney general.

>> mr. president, do you still have confidence in the attorney general? >> total. >> reporter: still, the president saying he had no idea about jeff sessions' conversations with the russian ambassador. >> when were you aware that he spoke to the russian ambassador? >> i wasn't aware at all. >> reporter: in fact, white house sources tell abc news, administration officials first learned about that contact overnight, when the story broke in "the washington post." what should have been a victory lap after the president's speech to congress was overshadowed by yet another round of questions about his team's contacts with russia during the campaign. for months, the president insisting there were no contacts. to me in january -- >> did you or anyone in your campaign have any contact with russia leading up to or during the campaign? nothing at all? >> reporter: not at all, he said. and to abc's jon karl two weeks ago. >> can you say definitively that nobody on your campaign had any contacts with the russians during the campaign? and on the leaks, is it fake news or are these real leaks? >> well, the leaks are real. you are the one that wrote about

them and reported them. >> the first part of my question, the context. can you definitively say nobody in your campaign -- >> well, i had nothing to do with it. i have nothing to do with russia. i told you. i have no deals there. i didn't know anything. >> and that ambassador sergei kislyak also right there in the capitol on tuesday for the president's speech to congress. the white house hoped to still be basking in the glow of that speech. instead, they are now trying to explain their russian connection and fending off what they call political attacks. cecilia vega, abc news, norfolk, virginia. these russian developments leading every network newscast overnight and topping headlines the last few days. take a look at the daily news this morning saying well, recuuuuse me. >> yes, and certainly all the talk surrounding attorney general sessions removing himself from participation to avoid a conflict of interest. we're curious to find out how it's playing in moscow. our moscow producer patrick

reevell, is it even being covered in the media there? >> reporter: one of the odd things throughout the allegations around trump and russia has been the surreally muted reaction. the kremlin, of course, has denied again there was any interference from russia in the u.s. elections. 80s calling the uproar and jeff sessions as a new type of red scare. in state media and among ordinary russians they don't really talk about the story. they say they either don't believe it or if they do, they actually say they don't see the big deal because the u.s. interferes in russian politics all the time. and this is a taste of america's own medicine. >> is it even on the newscast or newspapers? >> reporter: you know, obviously, it appears in newspapers but you know, we cannot guarantee that it will be in the morning news bulletins even. it might be, but would it be the top story? you know, very far from certain. >> okay. i got you on that. what do we know about this russian ambassador. >> he seems to be at the center of these trump/russian

connections meeting with mike flynn, jared kushner and jeff sessions. >> reporter: he has a reputation as a master diplomat. he's sort of second in authority only to the foreign minister. made his name as an arms control negotiator. but at the same time, he definitely does not have a reputation as a likely russian spy. the russians obviously deny that. i was talking with a former u.s. ambassador to moscow earlier and he said to me if kislyak is a spy, then all ambassadors are spies. he thought that he was just doing what ambassadors do. >> a lot of people, including president trump saying jeff sessions was just doing what senior members of committees like armed forces do. >> a lot of other senators on those committees did not meet with the russian ambassador at all last year. >> true. >> and again that was abc's patrick reevell in moscow. patrick, thank you. coming up, the brave admission by jane fonda and why she waited so long to go public. and why actor hamm hanks is the new patron saint of white house correspondents. but first, here's a look at today's forecast.
