good morning, america. new backlash brewing over the white house and russia. president trump feeling the heat from members of his own party for not being tough enough on putin as trump's son donald jr. comes under fire for a meeting he had with a russian lawyer during the campaign who claimed to have damaging information about hillary clinton. state of emergency. at least 45 wildfires scorching the west. flames shutting down this highway trapping more than 100 people including dozens of young campers. tens of thousands of acres torched and cars completely burned out as firefighters work around the clock to stop the blaze. hit-and-run. a cyclist crushed by an suv, sent flying off his bike as the driver speeds off. a dean at a private school arrested now facing muttle

charges. and get ready for good news. it's christmas in july. the secret to scoring massive deals on tvs, tech, jewelry and more as one of the biggest sales of summer, amazon prime day, kicks off just hours from now. and it is christmas in july because michael is back from his vacay. >> south africa. >> wonderful pictures. those kids loved it. >> they had a great time. >> you do want to be back for prime day. >> i wanted to be back because i missed you. >> it kicks off today. >> it kicks off today, 30 hours of deals which is a day -- it's a little over a day but no deals are posted every five minutes and we'll have more on that coming up. >> a lot of people online all day long. welcome back to you both. washington, lots of people back there as well.

there are big stories there. the president is facing questions about his first summit with vladimir putin, even republicans complaining he may not have been tough enough with the russian president. and the white house dealing with that revelation that donald trump jr. met with a russian linked to the kremlin during the campaign who was promising him damaging information on hillary clinton. jared kushner, paul manafort at that meeting, as well. and after the july 4th holiday senate focusing on that health care bill to replace the affordable care act as more americans cast doubt on it. >> much more on that in a moment. first our chief white house correspondent jon karl starts us off with new questions. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the president is back in the white house after his second trip abroad. his first face-to-face meeting with vladimir putin, a meeting that is raising more questions than answers. back at the white house, there's one question president trump can't seem to shake. >> mr. president, are you satisfied with putin's answer on election meddling? >> reporter: the president did raise the issue with putin, but

he says he wants to move on. tweeting sunday i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian meddling in our election. he vehemently denied it. i've already given my opinion. so what exactly did president trump tell putin about election meddling? his top advisers won't say. >> why would president trump broadcast exactly what he said in the meeting? strategically that makes no sense. >> reporter: putin, who unlike trump held a press conference after the meeting -- [ speaking a foreign language ] >> reporter: -- says president trump accepted his denial that russia didn't do anything to interfere with the election. no white house official denied that until this just yesterday from chief of staff reince priebus who wasn't at the meeting. >> the president absolutely did not believe the denial of president putin. >> reporter: the president insists he's acting to prevent future election hacks. tweeting that he discussed with putin, quote, forming an

impenetrable cybersecurity unit with the russians. prominent republicans think that's a terrible idea. >> it's not the dumbest idea i've ever heard but it's pretty close. when it comes to russia he's got a blind spot. >> there's been no penalty whatsoever. time to move forward. yes, it's time to move forward, but there has to be a price to pay. >> reporter: republican senator marco rubio is also slamming that idea of a joint russian/american task force on cybersecurity saying, partnering with putin on a cybersecurity unit is akin with partnering with assad on a chemical weapons unit but now appears that president trump is backing away from the idea. he tweeted late yesterday the fact that president putin and i discussed a cybersecurity unit doesn't mean i think it can happen. it can't. robin. >> jon, in that conversation between the president and putin he seemed to point to an apparent victory in syria over the cease-fire? >> reporter: yeah, and this does

appear to be an accomplishment, a cease-fire for part of southern syria that was negotiated in part with the jordanians, as well. that cease-fire, robin, started to take effect yesterday. >> all right, jon, thank you. we move to the new revelation about the trump campaign and russia. donald trump jr. admitting he met with a return attorney hoping to get damaging information on hillary clinton and the democrats. both jaden and former campaign chair paul manafort also at that meeting. tom llamas here with new reporting. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. let me set the scene for you. at the time those were three of the most powerful people in the trump campaign. meeting at trump tower with a russian lawyer. now, don jr. says kushner and manafort didn't know the substance of the meeting but everyone showed up. this morning, the president's son, don jr., on the defensive and explaining why during the campaign he agreed to meet with the russian lawyer linked to the kremlin who he says claimed to have damaging information about

hillary clinton. >> welcome to moscow. >> reporter: don jr. says the meeting was set up by someone he knew from the 2013 miss universe pageant, held that year in moscow. abc news has confirmed that person was rob goldstone, a music public bliss cyst with russian clients who was friendly with don jr. >> of course, the big man on campus, donald trump. >> reporter: i was asked to have a meeting by an acquaintance, the president's oldest son said in a statement who i was told might have information helpful to the campaign. abc news learned the daughter, don jr. was meeting with was natalia veselnitskaya who has helped lobby for pro-russian policies, an advocate for them on russian television. don jr. says he asked his brother-in-law and campaign adviser jared kushner and former campaign chairman paul manafort to the meeting. the meeting taking place in june of 2016 after trump had clinched his party's nomination. don jr. says he wasn't told the

name of the russian lawyer in advance. and when they met, she, quote, stated she had information that individuals connected to russia were supporting mrs. clinton. but he says her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. then the meeting quickly turned to russian adoptions and policy, prompting don jr. to end the meeting. for months trump and his team have criticized the investigation into russian collusion, repeatedly denying any contact between the campaign and russia. >> did you or anyone in your campaign have any contact with russia leading up to or during the campaign? >> no, not at all. >> of course not and i think to suggest that is to give credence to some of these bizarre rumors that have swirled around the candidacy. >> to me it's without a question reads and smells like a witch hunt because i have no other proof or evidence to show otherwise. >> reporter: but now new

questions about why the trump team was apparently interested in help from the russians. now, both don jr. and president trump's outside legal team saying the president did not attend the meeting and was not aware of it. we have reached out to natalia veselnitskaya's lawyers for comments. but they have not gotten back to us, george. >> okay, tom, thanks. let's take it to kellyanne conway, kellyanne, thanks for joining us this morning. we just showed some of those denials from the president from the vice president, don jr. about any contacts. back in december you also denied any contacts between the campaign and russians. i want to show our audience. >> absolutely not and i discussed that with the president-elect just last night. those conversations never happened. i hear people saying it like it's a fact on television that is just not only inaccurate and false but it's dangerous. >> does the president-elect. >> it did turn out to be a fact. who misled you and why did don jr., jared kushner and paul manafort allow those public denials to tan for so many months? >> so as i understand it, george, at some of the

disclosure fors have been amended since that time and to reflect other meetings including this one. i think that tom llamas, your colleague, put it best. he said that these were vague and ambiguous statements that don jr. was not aware of the lawyer's name before he got there and that the conversation quickly changed to what seemed to be the entire purpose of the meeting for that woman, which was russian adoption. no information was received that was meaningful or helpful and no action was taken. >> but, kellyanne. by his own admission he sought the meeting. he agreed to the meeting because she was promising damaging information about hillary clinton. isn't that at minimum an attempt at collusion? >> no, and your colleague, cecilia vega, even said yesterday as others responsible people have said including members of the obama administration under oath there's no evidence of collusion. >> kellyanne, actually i have to stop you right there because, kellyanne, that is not what cecilia vega said. cecilia vega was asked about that yesterday morning. that was before don jr. admitted that he sought the meeting to get damaging information on

hillary clinton. that was when don injury's statement was simply that this was a meeting about adoption. that changed in the previous hours when he changed his story story. >> are you saying there's evidence of collusion because everybody is trying to convert wishful thinking into hard evidence and haven't been able to do that. let me get back to what you asked me about this meeting. i don't think you had to go very far respectfully to find damaging information or negative information about hillary clinton. she was a gusher at all types of negative damaging information. your own polling showed that a majority of the country doesn't -- didn't trust her at the time. she had no honesty and integrity. i didn't have to look far starting the next month to find damaging information. we would should quote her. people admit now 1.2 billion on fire. she had no message that connected to america the way donald trump did. >> kellyanne -- >> there's no evidence of collusion. >> you're changing the subject here. let's go back to the original question. >> no, i'm not. this is the subject. is there collusion.

>> number one why account administration allow these denials to stand for so many months? >> the people involved in the meeting could answer those questions better for you but as i understand it, george, people's disclosure statements have been amended to reflect meetings such as this. and don jr. came forth this weekend and gave more information about the meeting. he also made very clear -- >> after denying it. >> that no information that was meaningful and helpful was gained from this. we have many different meetings in a campaign. some of them are unhelpful and not particularly meaningful. i'm sure you can relate to ha. >> but, kellyanne, that's beside the point. he was seeking the information. he was seeking the damaging information. that's why he had the meeting. how is that appropriate? >> george, he was told that there would be information that may be helpful to the campaign. there was no such information. but, again, i want to ask you a question. if we're going to keep using the word collusion, where is the evidence of collusion? what just happened last week is

that you had putin and trump had a conversation. that's meaningful. they brokered a cease-fire in part of syria. they talked about cybersecurity. the first order of business for president trump that he pressed putin on was interference in the election. meddling in the election. exactly what many in the media said would never happen, the president made it the top priority and reportedly pressed him several times so -- the conversation is real. the collusion is not. >> we know from don jr.'s own admission that he sought the meeting with the russian because she would provide damaging information with hillary clinton. how can you say that is not at least an attempt at working with the russians to hurt the clinton campaign to help the trump campaign? >> two quick things. he did not seek theo give damaging information about hillary clinton. >> he didn't even know her name, george. he had no idea who this person was until she entered the room. he said that --

>> he believed that she was bringing damaging information about hillary clinton. that's why he agreed to the meeting by his own admission. >> she didn't have it. look, the only information the, the only people who had information about russia meddling in say 20 -- summer of 2016 did not work in the trump campaign, they worked in the obama white house. they were briefed according to "the washington post" about this kind of information. and did absolutely nothing because they never thought donald trump would win. number two, no meaningful information was received, no action was taken. when i became campaign manager nobody said, oh, we have to turn over this file of this fabulous -- there's nothing like that. we were talking to people in michigan, not moscow and i think it's important for people to know that. >> kellyanne, we have to go. the information was sought from the campaign and those denials were allowed to stand for many months. that's the bottom line. thanks very much for your time. >> look, i wasn't in the meaning. i wasn't in the meeting but people amended their disclosure fors and the big bombshell is jim comey disclosing

confidential information he had in press private memos. that's what americans should focus on. >> kellyanne conway, thanks very much. michael. we turn to devastating wildfires out west. forcing thousands to evacuate including kids at a summer camp. abc's matt gutman is in california where some 5,000 firefighters are bravely battling the flames. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. the air here is still thick with smoke and want to give you a sense of the urgency here for firefighters. this whole area is filled with dozens of summer much kas. this was one of them. this was a bunk house and want you to see this charred twisted piece of metal. that was a bunk bed. now all the kids were evacuated safely from here but this morning, there's still thousands who are displaced. this morning, those wildfires roaring across california forcing about 8,000 evacuations. emergency crews sending an air assault from the sky dropping flame retardant hoping to stop multiple fast-moving blazes.

the alamo fire, the largest fire currently burning in california, blowing up to nearly 24,000 acres on sunday. that's almost twice the size of manhattan. here in santa barbara, more than 3500 fleeing the whittier fire, some of them through fire clogged route 154. that blaze now blanketing over 7800 acres and is only 5% contained. this time-lapse video showing just how quickly it's tearing across the county. the fire started saturday morning shutting down both sides of a major highway temporarily trapping nearly 90 campers and 50 counselors at a nearby ranch. >> they were trapped because the road was completely enveloped in flames and there were trees falling down across the road an really no way to get them out of there. >> reporter: we traveled to what used to be a camp near the area, now reduced to rubble. the scene apocalyptic, cars turned into husbandings of

metal. >> devastating looking at all this relationship the camp director's husband driving us to her home on site but when we arrived. >> oh. >> we've been here for 12 years and this is all that's left. >> reporter: the structure completely destroyed. now the governor has declared a state of emergency and the heat that is fueled these fires supposed to stick around. now, the stakes are still high for firefighters here. the fire is burning right near peaks that hold critical electrical infrastructure that could threaten electricity and major cities here like santa barbara. michael. >> devastating images to see and thank you very much, matt and now amy is joining us with the morning's other top stories starting with some delays for the morning commute? a major rail shutdown in new york affecting commuters along the east coast. extend tiff renovations and repairs are beginning today at penn station following three derailments in recent months. about one-quarter of the station's tracks will be shut down for that work which is expected to last until september. well, a u.s. army soldier is in custody accused of fatally

shooting a new york stay trooper. police say the trooper was responding to a domestic dispute at the soldier's home near the canadian border when shots were wife. the suspect's wife was also found dead. no word what led to that. shocking video showing the moment, look at that, whoo, a bike are hit on the side of the road and see the driver of that black volvo taking off from the scene right there. well, the driver has now been identified as the dean at a local private school. he could now face federal charges. the combininger is recovering from cuts and bruises. and i don't know if you can imagine this, but it happened to someone waking up with your head inside a bear's mouth. yeah, dylan, this camp counselor in colorado, says he was attacked at 4:00 a.m. he was in his sleeping bag when the bear clamped down on his head and then dragged hip out of that sleeping bag 12 feet. but other than needing nine staples to close up those cuts dylan is remarkably okay. he's already back at work. it was his co-workers, his other

counselors who started beating back the bear and pumping him. >> 12 feet. >> it was incredible. they said it's very unusual for a black bear to behave like this and happened and thank goodness he is alive to tell us about it. to rob with more on the record wildfires. >> six wildfires in nevada because of lightning so that's another issue. we've got monsoon flow gusty winds and dry levels of humidity. the heat shifting to the east, but toasty out west. time for select cities brought to you by liberty mutual. >> reporter: hi everybody, david

penn state permanently sitting down that fraternity. the key evidence against the young men, surveillance video from nearly every room in the house. it was played only in court. piazza was visibly drunk downing at least four drinks in just minutes falling down the stairs struggling and in pain for hours. >> i observed the defendants, men kidding, back slapping, joking and acting as though they were at a fraternity reunion. >> reporter: the video shows frat brothers ignoring piazza and even hitting him. piazza's parents who say they can't bear to watch the video spoke to "gma" in may. >> they set out to feed these guys lethal amounts of alcohol from the outset. >> reporter: the charges range from involuntary manslaughter to reckless endangerment to tampering with evidence. the video shows the frat brothers getting rid of all traces of alcohol before police arrived and even putting a clean shirt on piazza's unconscious body. defense attorneys for the former

frat brothers say the video does not show intent to hurt piazza. >> i don't see how anybody could be charged with the knowledge that this was anything more than a frat brother who had too much to drink. >> reporter: still, piazza's parents say their behavior is indefensible. >> i don't know where their consshs was, where the voice in the back of their head was saying he's hurt, i got to do the right thing. >> reporter: and penn state t l telling abc thus in morning it is vigorously working to implement new safety measures for the fall semester calling piazza's death a terrible tragedy. robin. >> it was that. all right, gio, thank you. robin, also this morning, venus williams is back in action at wimbledon as we learn new details about that fatal car crash she was involved in last month. new surveillance video is ans r answering key questions showing she may not have been at fault. t.j. >> you'll remember police said venus williams was at fault, their words, for this accident that ultimately led to i amman's

death. they are changing their tune this morning because of that new evidence. the new surveillance video, you mentioned, george, in which they say it shows that venus williams acted lawfully. this is the newly released video showing that fatal crash involving tennis superstar venus williams. police released the video fry saying it shows williams driving the suv in the upper left-hand corner lawfully entered the intersection near her florida home last month when another vehicle seen here cut her off causing her to stop advancing through the intersection to avoid a collision. police say when williams proceeded she was acting in accordance with florida law, even though the car carrying 78-year-old jerome barson and his wife linda had a green light when just seconds later they collided with her. jerome passed away two weeks after the crash. linda was injured. police are still investigating the incident but have not charged williams with any crime. the couple's lawyer who filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the five-time wimbledon champ says the video shows their

client had the right of way. >> a smile. >> reporter: williams was uninjured in the crash. she was emotional last week when asked about the accident following her opening round win at wimbledon. >> i'm completely speechless and it's just -- yeah, i mean, i'm just -- >> reporter: her lawyer says this new video shows she was not to blame for the wreck. >> venus williams entered the intersection on a green light. she had the right by state law to get through the intersection. and so she was correctly entering and exiting that intersection. >> again, venus williams has not been cited. she has not been charged. now, they have cited the police in their release. they stated this, a florida statute that says when someone is in that intersection legally, the person even you have a green light they have the right of way and you have to wait for them to get out of the way. the police are citing that statute. so this was an awful, unfortunate accident that led to a man's death but still the back

buried just under the surface, the answer to it all. ♪ we want to need each other. ♪ back now with one of the country's fastest growing summer sports, paddleboarding. the number of americans jumping on board has tripled since 2010.

experts are urging caution, deaths are even on the rise. abc's becky worley is in the water with some important tips and, becky, i have seen you in action in hawaii. you know what you're talking about here. >> we have been on the water together, robin, and it is such a fun sport. until millions probably participating in it this weekend but warnings from the coast guard, a few precautions could save your life. paddleboarding, one of the fastest growing sports in america. it seems so simple yet experts say it can suddenly turn dangerous. >> i didn't prepare enough. >> reporter: nancy says she was paddling back from the lighthouse in lewis, delaware when a wave knocked her off her board. she wasn't wearing a life jack and the current swept her board away. >> i was way too far offshore for people sitting on the beach to be able to hear me.

>> reporter: she says she would have drowned if a passing boat didn't rescue her, 15 paddleboarders died in 2016, three fatal accidents in one weekend and in many cases an unknown danger, wind played a huge part. to show you how the wind can wreak havoc i become the experiment. with the coast guard from station bodega bay in california watching over i put on my personal flotation device. beautiful day to go paddleboarding. even though it's blowing just ten miles an hour, when i turn around the ferocity of the wind surprises me. getting back took three times as long as the paddle out. imagine if i had gone further. oh. man. did i have to work out there. i don't know how long i could keep that pace up. it's just scary. >> reporter: then to show how fast this can go from scary to possibly deadly, we wait for the wind to pick up. it's now howling. upwards of 18 miles an hour.

other meet hag is now drawing more questions here, the meeting with donald trump yan and top officials at the trump campaign and a lawyer with ties to the kremlin. this morning on "gma," kellyanne conway says that that meeting where the russian lawyer was promising damaging information about hillary clinton is not evidence of collusion. >> are you saying there's evidence of collusion because everybody is trying to convert wishful thinking into hard evidence and they haven't been able to do that. i don't think you had to go very far respectfully to find damaging information or negative information about hillary clinton. she was a gusher at all times of negative damaging information. >> reporter: george, the explanations coming from don jr. and coming from the white house about this meeting have shifted quite dramatically but now the kremlin is saying that they did not have any information, did not know this meeting was taking place. george. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. the other big story this morning, a major victory in the fight against isis.

iraq's prime minister has declared the city of mosul now liberated following a months-long battle. ian pannell is there. good morning, ian. >> reporter: george, just look at this. this is the start of mosul coming back to normal. we're at one of the main junctions in the city in west mosul. this is where the fighting has been at its heaviest. yard after yard, mile after mile of mosul has been devastated by the bombing, by the fighting that's taken place here. we've seen bulldozers clearing away debris and seen people reinstalling sewage pipes. this is the new normal in iraq. we've heard a couple of explosions as the fighting goes on against small pockets of isis fighters still left in the city. now all guns will turn westward to raqqah in syria. there u.s.-backed forces are leading the battle against the militants and so far with success. so the situation here in mosul is one where people are happy about what has happened and hugely relieved that reign of terror has been released and

know this doesn't mean peace in their time. george. >> okay, ian, that war has a long way to go. >> the new normal in iraq as he said. the international battle over charlie gard, an infant who suffers from a rare genetic condition. his parents heading to court to get him more treatment and james longman has more and joins us this morning from london. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is the latest twist over the future of a very sick little boy. charlie gard's parents have so far lost every appeal to stop doctors from turing off his life s'more. something they say would enable him to die with dignity. but today a court will hear new evidence about that controversial treatment that charlie's parents want him to undergo in the united states. now we should say that treatment is just that. it's not a cure. but nonetheless it perhaps would help him with his symptoms. his mother connie says seven doctors from around the world are backing her and the pope, of course, and president trump have offered their support as well as

a u.s. evangelical pastor flown in to offer his prayers. on thursday, there will be the second stage of this hearing when charlie's future will perhaps be decided. robin. >> our heart goes out to that family. appreciate it. we bring in amy with the other headlines for the morning. >> that's right. there are more than 40 large wildfires burning across the west and california alone, look at that. flames forced nearly 8,000 people to evacuate the area. one fire near santa barb is burping dangerously close to a highway and temporarily trapped dozens of children at a camp and then in northern california, a state of emergency has been declared. investigators trying to determine the cause of this massive fire at london's historic camden market. a building was gutted just weeks after fire destroyed a london high-rise killing 80 people but no injuries thankfully in this fire. congress gets back to work today focused on the effort to overhaul health care after facing angry constituents over the july 4th recess, some admit

know, about everything. i've talked to him. the moral of the story is like he doesn't respect me so if you can't respect me you have to respect the law. >> have any of the kardashians reached out to you since these posts? >> no, is a complex back story that just might explain what chyna says is silence from the kardashians. many she was once close friends with kim kardashian and she once dated and has a child with rapper tyga.er to date kylie. shortly thereafter chyna started dating rob kardashian and became pregnant with his baby. what do you say to the people who say, oh, this was just about revenge for the kardashians. >> no, that's not -- first of all, you can -- that's not even my character and i see all these things on the internet and i never address it because i'm the bigger person. robert came at me. >> rob has said you used the kardashians, you used him for fame and fortune. your response.

is that possible? >> no, not at all. >> you loved him. >> yes. nobody was out to make a baby out of spite. >> reporter: in 38 states plus d.c. revenge porn is a crime. >> i'm not asking victims to change their behavior. i'm asking perpetrators not to commit crimes. it is a crime to post pictures like this and if you do it, i hope that the full impact of the law rains done upon you. >> i would like to just say something to like all the women out there, you know, you're not the only one that's probably going through something. so i feel as though if one person speaks up, maybe it -- hopefully it will be a domino effect. >> rob kardashian has not been charged with a crime at this time. chyna posted on social media and told me that rob was physically abusive to her in april and there's absolutely no chance of reconciliati reconciliation. she was adamant about that but says she does plan to keep joint custody. we reefed out to rob and the kardashians but did not receive

as moms, we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10 to 25 year olds.

even if meningitis b is uncommon, that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably vaccinated against when younger. we're getting the word out against meningitis b. our teens are getting bexsero. bexsero should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects are pain, redness or hardness at the injection site; muscle pain; fatigue; headache; nausea; and joint pain. bexsero may not protect all individuals. tell your healthcare professional if you're pregnant or if you have received any other meningitis b vaccines. ask your healthcare professional about the risks and benefits of bexsero and if vaccination with bexsero is right for your teen. moms, we can't wait.
