7:00 am
good morning, america. all time low. president trump saying russian relations are on shaky ground. >> right now we're not getting along with russia at all. >> after the secretary of state's high-stakes meeting with putin and the explosive revelation in that russian investigation. the fbi suspecting a former trump adviser may be a spy. now, carter page is here responding live. president trump changes course on top campaign promises from china to nato. >> i said it was obsolete. it's no longer obsolete. >> and now a new about-face on health care. how he's trying to get democrats to the negotiating table. the 4-year-old girl dancing around a barber shop when all of a sudden bullets fly through the glass shattering the window coming within inches of her head. luckily she made a quick escape.
7:01 am
and mystery in maui. the newlyweds enjoying the honeymoon of a lifetime when they contract a deadly disease. sending them to the hospital. now hawaii's health department investigating. good morning, america. happy thursday. it is a busy one. >> a family lawyer of that united passenger dragged off the plane, they are going to speak out this morning. >> we have a lot of other important stories that we are following. secretary of state rex tillerson is heading home after a tough meeting with russian president putin saying relations with russia are at a, quote, low point. and all eyes are on north korea. there are new concerns they may lunch a missile test as they mark their 105th anniversary. president trump heading back down to mar-a-lago where he'll celebrate.
7:02 am
easter. more on that. we begin with that trouble with russia. our chief foreign couldnrrespon terry moran in russia. good morning, terry. >> reporter: this morning, secretary of state rex tillerson heading home to washington after a trip that revealed how bad relations are between the u.s. and russia. the white house president trump summed it up. >> right now we're not getting along with russia at all. we may be at an all time low in terms of relationship with russia. >> reporter: tillerson had long, tense talks with the russian foreign minister and a two-hour meeting with president putin. the former exxonmobil chief once very friendly with putin honored with an award and seen here sharing a toast but this time no pictures or awards. the meeting held behind closed doors and afterwards this grim assessment. >> there is a low level of trust between our two countries. the world's two foremost nuclear powers cannot have this kind of
7:03 am
relationship. >> reporter: the u.s. military strike on syria sparked this crisis with russia. syria's staunch backer. american tomahawk missile smashing that air base consider that chemical weapons attack was launched from, a base the russians are using too and president trump musing on whether russia knew the gas attack was coming. >> i think it's certainly possible. i would like to think they didn't know but they were they could have. >> reporter: tillerson declaring the u.s. now seeks regime change, an end to the rule of syrian president bashar al assad. >> clearly our view is that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. >> reporter: but at the u.n. a russian veto of a resolution condemning the assad regime and u.s. ambassador nikki haley slamming the kremlin. >> it is long past time for russia to stop covering for assad. >> reporter: the kremlin's rejecting all the criticism of russia's support for assad and point out the unexpected chaos and bloodshed unleashed by
7:04 am
american-led regime change in iraq and libya and so for now putin's not going to budge. robin. >> all right, terry, thank you. president trump also speaking out on china making another major reversal saying he now no longer thinks the country is manipulating its currency to hurt the u.s. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has more on all that. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning to you. you remember donald trump on the campaign trail bashing china, was a staple for him and labeling them a currency manipulator would be one of his first orders of business. now a major flip. from president trump a very different tone about the country he previously called an enemy. >> president xi wants to do the right thing. we had a very good bonding. i think we had a good chem ciis together. >> reporter: nice words about xi jinping. it follows a tuesday night phone
7:05 am
call between the two leaders. >> i was very impressed with president xi and i think he means well and wants to help. we'll see whether or not he does. >> reporter: so far the diplomacy might be working. despite a veto on chemical weapon use in syria. on wednesday china abstained. >> i think it's wonderful that they abstained. as you know very few people expected that. >> reporter: what a change from candidate trump who repeatedly used china as a punching bag. >> frankly china took businesses and everything else. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country. that's what they're doing. we'll be the people that create jobs for our country, not for china. >> reporter: and speaking of jobs this morning word that president trump is backing down on a major campaign promise, his pledge to label china a currency manipulator on day one. the president now telling "the wall street journal," they're not currency manipulators.
7:06 am
democrats pouncing. senator chuck superer says it gives china a green light to steal our jobs and wealth time and time again. now, the president is raising eyebrows with another comment he made to "the wall street journal." he said that the dollar is getting, quote, too strong and that is partly his fault. he says because people have so much confidence in him but take a look at this. his words having an immediate impact. the dollar plunging, george, as soon as that comment was published. >> which is why a lot of presidents don't talk about the dollar too much. thanks very much. let's bring in martha raddatz right now and, martha, what a difference a few months in office can make. all through the campaign last year president trump talked about what a strong leader president putin was, how much he respected him. they seem to have something of a bromance and now chilly words. meanwhile with president xi he's talking about chemistry. >> reporter: exactly. lots of breathtaking flip-flop, george, but it comes down to
7:07 am
reality, priorities and needs. the chemical attack in syria opened his eyes to russia which is defending syria's president assad and as for nato he needs nato right now to contain russia. but most of all he needs china. there may be other reasons related to wall street's influence in the administration as to why he's backing off his currency manipulation charges but president president trump is now well aware that china is key to solving diplomatically the growing nuclear threat from north korea. he's not going to get help if he keeps trashing them. >> right, one of those may be that china is not manipulating its currency right now but let's talk about north korea for a minute. very important series of events coming up perhaps this weekend signaling they could demonstrate another nuclear weapon. >> reporter: exactly, a nuclear test as early as this weekend when north korea is celebrating the birthday of the nation's founder. north korea's leader has already been gloating about missile tests and inspecting targeting contests, his special forces are
7:08 am
conducting but this would be the sixth underground test of a nuclear weapon and it could be the most powerful. and, of course, president trump is trying to -- or north korea is trying to perfect a missile to carry that weapon as far as the u.s., donald trump has said he will not let them acquire that technology and so far no flip-flop on that. >> none at all and the president is talking about some steps china has taken to crack down on north korea including turning back their coal shipments. >> reporter: exactly. they have threatened north korea and said they might stop oil supplies and we'll have to see about that, though, george. >> martha raddatz, thanks very much. >> george, president trump is also taking on health care trying to get democrats to negotiate by threatening to withhold payments to insurance companies. our congressional correspondent mary bruce has those new details for us. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. yeah, the negotiator in chief is looking for leverage in the health care fight and this morning he's threatening to blow up obamacare in order to reach a deal. he's hoping that force democrats
7:09 am
to the negotiating table by threatening to withhold key payments to insurers, a move that could potentially send the insurance markets into a fatal tailspin and could leave millions without coverage. now, the president tells "the wall street journal" i don't want people to get hurt. what i think should happen and will happen is the democrats will start calling me and negotiating. but, there is no question, this is a seriously risky move that could backfire on republicans. >> it does seem to be a risky move. is there any chance that this tactic will work with democrats? >> reporter: yeah, i doubt it. look, democrats say that if the president is willing to drive obamacare over this cliff they think he will own it, not them. now, democrats insist they are willing to work with the president on improvements, but say first republicans have to be willing to drop their plans to repeal obamacare. now, those plans remain stalled and, remember, the reason the president's health care plan hasn't gone anywhere isn't just because of democrats but
7:10 am
opposition from republicans. >> let's keep that in mind. >> let's talk about it with matthew dowd right now. matthew, boy, a lot of interesting tactical moves from the president just over the last couple of days. what do you make of this wholesale move to the center right now? >> well, one thing we ought to keep in mind it's holy thursday today and see if it keeps until easter sunday which is only three days away. i have some doubt it will continue but i think we should encourage our leaders to evolve. it is a good thing they evolve and adjust their positions but usually fundamentally depends on some values they hold and a change of facts and they explain it to us. donald trump seems to be a lot like the chameleon in the valspar commercial. whatever leader he seems to be standing next to he seems to change that position to adapt it to that leader. >> as martha talked about on the interests of russia and china, adapting to the reality of the facts on the ground in both regions right now.
7:11 am
>> well, i don't think the facts fundamentally as regards russia, syria and china have fundamentally changed. we have known what assad as han doing and russia has been doing and we've known how china has been acting and what they've been doing so all of those fact, i don't think, have fundament fundamentally adjusted. it's donald trump's attention to them that has changed in this and i think it would be really interesting to know does this stay for the next 24, 72 hours? how long does this position stay? >> it does seem you're seeing the advice coming from the establishment figures like the secretary of state rex tillerson, the secretary of defense, james mattis and goldman sachs chief economic adviser gary cone is opposed to steve bannon. >> it seems like the swamp is exerting its influence. all these positions that donald trump fundamentally has flip-flopped on in the last 24 hours were all the positions that were putting him in
7:12 am
contrast to what the establishment or what he ran against in washington, d.c. i think it's encouraging because some of the positions are much more moderate and much more reasonable in this but as i say, george, is does this stay, how long does this stay and, steve bannon, the huge question mark. he has driven the populism and is he in or is he going to be out? >> real quickly you say it's encouraging but any rick for the president to be reversing like this? >> i think there is a real risk because, one, his base is what's held them together so far in the first 80 days of the presidency. i think there's little chance that the democrats are going to come over to him no matter what position he changes. >> matthew dowd, thanks very much. george, we turn to a major arrest in illinois. two men are facing terrorism charges accused of conspiring to support isis and across the country, the fbi's currently investigating nearly 800 americans in all 50 states for possible ties to that group. abc's alex perez is in chicago with more. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning,
7:13 am
robin. this undercover fbi investigation began nearly two years ago, the suspects thought they were going to help isis wage war. joseph jones and edward schimenti behind bars charged with providing material support to isis. authorities descending on this home wednesday. >> we heard a loud explosion. we thought it was a bomb going off. they were break nothing that house. >> reporter: according to court documents, jones and schimenti, both u.s. citizens provided an undercover fbi team with several cell phones they allegedly thought would be delivered to isis to detonate explosives in attacks overseas. authorities say these pictures taken in a suburban chicago park allegedly show the men posing with an isis flag. schimenti allegedly saying he would like to see the flag on top of the white house and allegedly posting on social media kuffar, unbelievers, we are coming to slay you. >> these are quite common and
7:14 am
spread throughout the united states. the concern is that any of these individuals could carry out an attack in europe or in the united states. >> reporter: according to court documents the men even drove an fbi source to o'hare thinking that source was boarding a plane to syria to join and fight with isis. the pair appearing in federal court wednesday. they did not enter a plea. the suspects due back here in federal court on monday. if convicted, they face up to 20 years behind bars. robin. >> we'll see what happens. alex, thank you. michael. now to new trouble for united airlines. the doctor dragged off that plane, well, he's now filing papers to preserve all evidence. this comes as his lawyers and family prepare to speak this morning. abc's rebecca jarvis who had that exclusive with united's ceo is joining us now. good morning, rebecca. >> good morning. that is right. dr. dao has now hired two power attorneys and those lawyers are taking steps you take when you're preparing to sue or you
7:15 am
want to look like it. this morning, dr. david dao. the bloodied passenger dragged off a united airlines flight in this now infamous video is taking steps toward a possible legal action. hiring two sets of attorneys who have now filed a petition to preserve cockpit recordings, surveillance video and other evidence from the flight that could be used in a potential lawsuit related to the incident. >> busted his lip. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: earlier united's ceo oscar munoz speaking exclusively to abc news about the rapidly growing controversy. what do you think he deserves in all of this? >> well, certainly an apology. and from that point on i think we'll have to see. >> do you think he's at fault in any way? >> no, he can't be. he was a paying passenger sitting on our seat in our aircraft and no one should be treated that way. period.
7:16 am
>> reporter: on wednesday united's stock price taking a hit for a second day in a row. president trump even weighing in calling the incident horrible. telling "the wall street journal," to just randomly say you're getting off the plane, that was terrible and this morning, united offering compensation to every passenger that was on the flight in the form of travel vouchers, air miles or a full refund. united's ceo also promising in our interview to never again use police to remove passengers from overbooked flights. the aviation department has placed the three officers involved in the incident on leave while it conducts a review of the situation. united is also conducting its own review and, michael, as you say, we'll hear from dr. dao's attorneys later on today. >> rebecca, we'll hear from our chief legal analyst dan abrams and, dan, the doctor is filing to preserve evidence but does that mean he's going to file a lawsuit? >> almost certainly. this means he's either going to file a lawsuit or he's threatening in effect to file a lawsuit in ang effort to settle now.
7:17 am
i mean typically you send this sort of request or demand to a company that in the course of business ends up destroying documents and you say, look, we want to make sure because we may sue you don't destroy these documents. the sores of things these lawyers are asking them not to destroy are not the sorts of things they would have destroyed anyway. so, this is really in my view more of a warning, a threat, a shot across the bow but there's into question that there's going to be some lawyering that happens here. >> but we know the fine print says that they can remove you from a flight. so, is there a potential lawsuit? does it have a chance. >> the fine print says they can deny you access. he will say that's a different issue from yanking you off. as you remember, there's a difference between what united did and what the police did, right? it's the police who yanked him off the plane. not united. it's the police who are now suspending those three officers, not united. it's the police who were literally taking him as he is
7:18 am
screaming, not united so i know we are going to continue to talk about this in the context of united airlines as we should, but there's another huge component to this which is the police element. >> if a lawsuit gets filed as we expect would happen what are the chances it will be settled before it hits the courtroom and how much money on the line. >> those two questions are intertwined. if they offer enough money it won't go to trial. if they're smart, this won't go to trial. they want to do everything they can to make this not go to trial so i think they'll offer a lot of money, many millions. in a case that would be different without the video. >> to see that in a trial over and over again. that would be very bad for business. to ginger, a lot of hail in texas. >> denver city texas, the backyard getting pounded there. i want to show you quickly a headline of what's to come this sunday, easter sunday could be
7:19 am
one of the warmest in 6 years in new york city. >> reporter: good morning everyone, david murphy here with an update from accuweather we're dry on storm tracker 6 live double scan. lots of sunshine building across the region and maintaining fairly bright conditions today. we're starting out a bit chilly and a tad on the breezy side. cooler than yesterday, but bright and pleasant an occasional sweep of clouds, 67.

7:31 am
with that investigation into russia and the trump campaign and this week's blockbuster report that the fbi obtained a secret court order to monitor trump adviser carter page. we'll speak with page live after brian ross brings us the latest on the investigation. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, george. carter page is gone from virtual obscurity to growing infamy now that it's been revealed the fbi suspected he might have been a spy for russia. when candidate donald trump was asked to identify his foreign policy advisers last year, he gave five names including -- >> carter page, ph.d. >> reporter: now carter page, ph.d. a new york consultant doing business deals in russia is also being identified as someone the fbi suspected as a possible russian spy. the latest development was "the washington post" report that the fbi actually got a foreign intelligence surveillance warrant to tap into page's phones and computers while he was a trump campaign adviser last summer. a process that requires
7:32 am
extensive evidence. >> you have to lay out a series of facts that show that there's probable cause to believe that someone is an agent of a foreign power. >> reporter: as abc news reported last week, the fbi discovered in 2013 that page was the target of a russian spy recruitment effort with two russian spies posing as trade officials overheard by the fbi saying they would offer page business opportunities and favors in exchange for information. >> they're just looking to see if they can press the right set of buttons to get the type of information that they need for their intelligence masters back in putin's russia. >> reporter: former assistant attorney general john carlin now an abc news consultant supervised the case. but this was a serious spy operation. >> yes, this was an actual trained operative spy operation in new york targeting human assets. >> reporter: there was no evidence presented in the case the russians actually recruited
7:33 am
carter page as a spy but it's very clear they saw him as a potentially important target. george. >> okay, brian, thanks. let's talk to the man himself carter page foreign policy adviser for the trump campaign. welcome to "gma" right now. so, let's just begin with some of the basic facts. march of last year president trump tells "the washington post" you're a member of his foreign policy team. who brought you into the trump campaign? what did you do for them. >> george, i don't talk about that because there's always these various smr theories that anyone i work with -- >> that's a pretty innocent fact. who brought you into the campaign? >> i just -- i don't want to have people's lives disrupted. if i told you a name there would be dozens of calls to that individual within minutes. >> not if nothing went wrong. >> well, people make up all kinds of conspiracy theories. that's been the nature of this from the get-go. >> but not revealing is what views the conspiracy theories. >> no, but this is, again, people just make things up and
7:34 am
it's not going to help matters. >> so you won't say who brought you into the campaign. can you say what you did? >> i was an informal adviser, a member of a committee which was put together, a team of individuals who were looking at various foreign policy issues and working -- thinking through some of the issues that were on the table. >> so, let's fast forward to last summer. in order to get that wiretap the fbi had to show probable cause, strong evidence you were acting as a russian agent. in your communications with the fbi have you convinced them you weren't acting as a russian agent. >> i do not talk about any ongoing investigations. i will say that in terms of probable cause, there's been a ton of false evidence that's been out there, primarily in the public realm but we shall see as -- >> you know that they had to present this evidence to a court to an independent court. they had to be convinced that this at least was evidence worthy of investigation. so, what could very have been
7:35 am
thinking of. >> well, there was tons of false evidence whether primarily related to that dodgy doesier which senator harry reid last august sent to director comey and who knows what the exact basis of, i really look forward to seeing it. >> there's also a lot of focus on the trip you took to russia last july. you met with russian academics and people in the business community, did you meet with anyone in the russian government or connected to russian intelligence? >> i said hello briefly to one individual who was a board member of the -- of the new economic school where i gave my speech. >> and in any of these conversations with russians either in russia or back here in the united states, did you ever suggest to any of them that president trump, or candidate trump would be open to easing sanctions on russia? >> absolutely not. >> never, not once? >> i never offered that, no, nothing along those lines, absolutely not. i mean, it may -- topics -- i don't remember -- we'll see what
7:36 am
comes out in this fisa transcript. >> well, you know what you did? i don't recall every single word that i ever said but i would never make any offer or intermate anything that -- >> it sounds like from what you're saying it's possible you may have discussed the easing of sanctions. >> something may have come up in a conversation -- i have no recollection and there is nothing specifically i would have done that would have given people that impression. >> you can't say without equivocation you didn't discuss the easing of sanctions. >> someone may have brought it up. i have no recollection and if it was, it was not something i was offering or that someone was asking for. >> any conversations about those e-mails that were stolen from the dnc from the clinton campaign, any conversations about that. >> not a word. >> not once. >> not once. >> absolutely positive? >> absolutely sure. >> so, how can you be sure you didn't talk about that but not sure if you talked about easing of sanctions. >> well, that's -- that didn't happen until a couple of weeks
7:37 am
later, i believe, during the dnc, right. and i was already back from there at the time and actually the cleveland convention was the week before. >> and that was about the time where you were then separated from the trump campaign a little later than that where the fisa court gives this -- gives this warrant as well. since then have you had any contact with president trump or anyone in that campaign? >> no -- i have not -- since inauguration i have not spoken with anyone. >> yeah, but i'm talking from august to inauguration. >> there were various people i would speak to from time to time. old colleagues, et cetera. >> so you maintained contact with the trump campaign from august through inauguration day. >> light contact. >> no discussions -- >> no discussions of anything substantive or relating to the things that have been accused. >> the president and his top advisers now accept that the intelligence community's conclusion russia did try to interfere in our elections.
7:38 am
do you agree. >> looking at what was done i don't have any inside information as to what happened. what i do know is that these false attacks that were taken against me had a much bigger impact that anything that may have come out in wikileaks and these same lies keep swirling around months and months on end having really negative impact on u.s./russia relations and really u.s.' position in the world. >> so bottom line you're confident that neither you nor anyone in the trump campaign will be convicted of a crime because of the involvement in wuz? >> i have -- that would be ridiculous. absolutely not. >> carter page, thanks very much. >> thanks, george. >> robin. >> okay, george, coming up in two minutes the college student caught on tape being slammed to the ground by a police officer. she is now speaking out only on "gma." ♪

she's sharing her side of the story exclusively with abc and linsey davis is here with those details. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: so many have watched what happened to her. now we are hearing from her. this is the first time that michaela surat is talking about the video that shows her get body slammed by a police officer and she says she hopes this will further the conversation about unnecessary use of excessive police force. this morning, the woman caught on tape being slammed head first into the ground by a police officer is speaking out. >> oh! >> like all my bones were shattering in my face and i was just so humiliated because everyone was watching me. >> reporter: 22-year-old college student michaela surat sat down exclusively with abc news overnight and says she'll never be the same. after this video of her went viral, viewed nearly 800,000 times online. >> i can't go to school without feeling like someone is going to approach me and hurt me. i'm getting death threats online. >> reporter: critics say it
