victory. the board meeting will take place as planned and doug jones will be sworn in by vice president pence on the 3rd of january. state officials said last week they have found no evidence of voter fraud in the senate race. in moore's complaint though, he also says he took a polygraph over the sexual misconduct allegations against him, and he says those results prove he did not know any of those women, dan. >> just to put a fine point on this, these last-minute maneuvers are not expected to delay the certification of doug jones' win? >> reporter: not really dan. the secretary of state has previously said it's highly unlikely that jones not be certified as the winner of that election. dan. >> this election in alabama continues to generate controversy. thank you very much. we appreciate your reporting. paula, over to you. >> possibly closure as stephanie said. president trump stirring up controversy on his working vacation in florida, touting his legislative successes.

all as his former campaign manager faces sexual assault allegations. kenneth moton has the very latest. good morning to you, kenneth. >> reporter: good morning, paula. it was a nice gesture. president trump taking a break to thank firefighters at a local fire station, but the president spent most of his time in front of the cameras talking about his first year in office. president trump's surprise visit. >> you do a fantastic job, so we wanted to thank you very much. >> reporter: the president stopping by a west palm beach fire station to thank first responders and tout his own record. >> we have signed more legislation than anybody. broke the record. >> reporter: that claim, false. president trump has signed the least amount of bills than any president at this point in office. we catch glimpses of him playing golf nearly every day of his vacation. but a box truck blocked the view of the president hitting the

lakes. corey lewandowski is on defense, now facing a sexual assault allegation. a trump supporter who wore a make america great again picture tweeted this picture. she said it was taken seconds before lewandowski slapped her behind not once, but twice. she was shocked, she wrote. she told abc news if lewandowski, would, quote, apologize, that's all i want. lewandowski, a contributor with the fox network was asked about the allegations. >> i'm not here to speak for joy, but i'm here to speak for me, and what i will do is let the process play forward. >> reporter: it's not the first time lewandowski has faced legal trouble. during the campaign he was involved in a physical altercation grabbing a reporter by the arm, but themisdemeanor battery charge was dropped. >> thank you, we appreciate your reporting. let's bring in our chief political analyst, matthew dowd.

good morning. let's talk about this lewandowski case. the president appears to be close to the accuser and the accused here. how does he handle this especially because he has his own accusers? >> reporter: well >> well, this is a difficult spot for the president to be in. this is like "pirates of the caribbean" where all these characters are surrounding him, and they have problems. we know what happened with paul manafort and the candidate he endorsed in alabama. a series of folks, in surrounding this world, and in the end, the president is barbosa barbosa, and he has problems as big as corey lewandowski. it's a difficulty that the white house is in. >> i knew some cultural references would be thrown in this morning. let's talk about the preside specifically, and his claim that he repeated that he has signed more legislation than any other president. so it is absolutely true that trump has some big wins under his belt including the tax bill that just went through, but it's not true. it's verifiably false that he

signed the most legislation. why do you think he keeps saying this? >> i'm just shocked that the president exaggerates like this. we haven't seen this before from him. in politics, we have seen all presidents exaggerate and probably stretch the truth in this but this president, when you look at the averages of this president, this president exaggerates or makes stuff up an average of five times a day. it has become commonplace in the presid of the olympic champion of this kind of stuff, and he continues to do it and my guess is for the next year two years, three years, he will continue to do it. >> hi matt. it's paula. good morning to you. >> hey, paula. >> there is a lot of uncertainty with the tax bill that dan brought up. what should you know if you are many peopl to make thoseuctions that will soon disappear with the tax law taking effect? specifically property taxes. >> sure. you have a major tax reform change through at the last minute in a rushed manner right

before the new year. we have the law of uninte consequences and this is the first one we'll see, see more. i paid my property taxes last week for 2017. those are still deductible because i was billedd and it was all for 2017. you cannot deduct those expenses for 2018 unless you have been billed and assessed in 2017, and pay it in t if pay 2017, you're fine. really up to the municipality municipality, the local municipality to decide. we t pre-pay 2018, and said no. it's up to the jurisdiction as well. >> as i said this is the law of unintended consequences and we'll see more of this you see majort dowdo much. we want to move now to the airport security scare, raising questions about safety in the skies after a tokyo-bound plane was forced to turn around mid flight when an unauthorized passenger was found on board.

john legend and chrissy teigen were delayed a total of 15 hours. matt gutman is at l.a.x. to tell us what happened. good morning, matt. >> reporter: sources tell us which was likely not a mistake. they say one of two brothers with very similar names likely used a duplicate boarding pass to get on the plane, and then flight attendants didn't realize they had a possible stowaway on board until the flight was halfway to tokyo, which is one reason they are calling this the flight to nowhere. this morning, the fbi is weighing criminal charges against a pair of brothers who somehow got on flight 175 los angeles to tokyo, using a single boarding pass. the so-called flight to nowhere ngeles o from noon on wednesday and just four hours later, boomeranged back when flight attendantse stowaway. it turned out to be a 4,000-mile de overnight, we learned the brothers have nearly identical names and used a boarding pass. one had a legitimate ticket for

flight 175, and the other brother had aimate ticket to tokyo, but on a different airline. >> once we get those answeren you engineer the process andou don't let that occur again. >> reporter: and overnight, 16 hours delayed, that plane finally unloadedas >> mostly tired and pretty angry. >> pretty upset. >> definitely ppoint >> reporter: abc news was there meeting honeymooners. >> there's no competition to give us back that day. >> reporter: there was also a very, supermodel chrissy teigen. this awesome vacationbabe.weet stormviraasking to know why flown to tokyo, and et is this one person's mistake? the co passengers' inconvenience. now being a stowaway is a federal crime. it's punishable by up to five years in prison and federal

authorities are poring over surveillance video. but the airline couldac fines for allowing that passenger on board, and failing to make an accurate head they have offered all those passengers a $26 or thereabout ou are in the middle seat i don't know if that cuts it. >> thank you. now to theccue caught onbodyca officers pulling teenagers from an overturned vehicle that burst into pilgrim has the story on how these officers risked their own lives. >> back up. the car is on fire! back up! >> reporter: a fiery car crash, three teens inside four milwaukee police officers jumping into action. >> when we saw the car up in flames and we saw the unconscious, we knew we had to get them out. >> reporter: t down after hitting a utility pole. the bodycam capturing the rush to get the two teens inside.

you see an officer tap on the window yelling. >> crawl! >> reporter: when no one comes out, one of the officers goes in pulling the teen from the car, dragging him away. >> we started getting people out as quick as we could, knowing that was our job right then and there. >> reporter: the fire growing. the officers go back in getting a second teen out, moving him to safety. >> come on. >> reporter: another teen was able to get out on his own. all three were taken to the hospital. and these same officers had actually tried to pull over this speeding just a short time before the accident. it didn't stop, so the driver will face charges for not stopping and for reckless driving. >> eva, thanks. and now to the big money that's up for grabs after last night's lottery drawing. still no powerball winners again, and powerball is just one of massive multimillion dollar jackpots that are sparking lottery fever this week and

most of them won $4. that means you doubled your winnings. congratulations. there was somebod night, but overwhelmingly most people won a few bucks. >> you need a hug, t.j. >> welcomew segment, the keeping it real theme, let's sends things over to rob marciano. >> being inside is what makes me happy. i won the lottery today b look at this rain in new york between water town an syracuse. firefighters had to dig a woman out of her home. time for snowy cities brought to you by burlington.

severely injuring the 22-year-old, and he died two days later, and now those teens are facing charges. the sobering reality for these teenage boys spending their holiday season in a juvenile detentio each ages of 13 and 15, openly crying, charges of murder vehicular vandalism stemming from a prank that turned deadly. police claim the teenagers deliberately and fatally tossed a sandbag off of an interstate. ititbe not moving. >> reporter: 22-year-old marquise byrd, dying from his injuries two days later. >> i will say today from each of the juveniles. >> reporter: this coming just two months after five teenagers in michigan were charged with second-degree murder accused of throwing rocks off on overpass on the exact same highway. one deadly toss of a six-pound rock killing 32-year-old father of four kenneth white.

the five defendants pleaded not guilty and face possible life imprisonment if convicted. in this latest case an attorney for one of the boys, his client expresses remorse for the victim, and the prosecutor tells us it's unlikely for them to be tried as adults because the bar is too high. >> gio, thank you so much. >> let's bring in a pair of guests. stephanie dowd is a clinical psychologist at the child mind institute, and areva martin in los angeles, welcome to both of you. >> dr. dowd let's start with you. some of these kids we're talking 13, and 14 years old. when role does the development play in this? >> brain development plays a big role in this. for teens, the brain is still developing. for the human brain, it's developing through the mid 20s, and so the part of the brain that is called the prefrontal

cortex is responsible for planning thinking through short-term long-term consequences. controlling one's emotions and impulses. that is the last part of the brain to develop. so it's important to recognize that teens -- it's not that they don't have this ability to engage in those behaviors. it's just an underdeveloped part of the brain for them. >> this is a horrifying story for both of us. we both have boys at home. can you say more about what drives these teenagers to do these things? >> it's hard for adults to comprehend that a something like this, you.but the important thing to remember is the teen brain is different than the adult brain. teens have a tough time understanding short-term long-term consequences because they tend to be more impulsive and reactive. the other thing is that teens have more intense emotions. they feel their emotions more

intensely, and so it's harder for them to hit the brakes in response to their feelings and teens tend to be really influenced by their peers, and peer approval is highly rewarding for teens at ts age in their life. >> i want to bring in areva from los angeles. those michigan kids just a few years older are being tried in adults and in ohio as juveniles. is that the right call, and into account the physiological development we were just talking about? >> juveniles can be transferped to adult court, and states look at the age of the teens when the alleged crime occurs. they look at prior offenses and the severity of the crime. in the michigan case the boys were older. although it was just a couple of years, that makes a big difference in terms of the criminal justice system and whether they will be tried as juveniles or adults. in ohio the bar is a lot higher and they look at whether or not

there is enough time to rehabilitate these teens, and the prosecutor has determined that because they were 13 to 15 years old, they can't be tried as adults. different states look at these situations differently, and depending on the state, you can have what looks to be similar situations treated very differently. some in juvenile court, and some in traditional court. >> a young man was killed in this case. his family is in mourning. they want these kids tried as adults. this is an incredibly tough balance to strike. substituteabsolutely is and prosecutors and judges have to make these calls all the time and in some cases, families don't believe justice is served and in ohio the families feel like these boys should be tried in adult courts, but the prosecutor says it won't happen and they will stay in the juvenile system. >> just a point as we thank areva and stephanie, thank you both. this is a great case toiscuss with te >> absolutely. coming up the baseball

>> reporter: in 2009, natasha richardson hit her head during a ski accident in canada and died. she returned to her hotel room and went to the hospital. the autopsy report shows she died from bleeding into her brain. in indaughter's case the doctors performed a three-hour urg. >> i called and said you need to come to houston because your dad has just -- it doesn't look good. >> reporter: but miraculously three days later,daughter opened his eyes. this morning, he says he has zero side effects. >> i don't have any pain. i do not feel confused. i don't have any balance issues. >> he is a miracle. he is a walking miracle. but i do get kind of tired because he keeps telling me he is a miracle, so -- >> reporter: you won't hear the last of that either. the doctor says there was so much his brain that it pushed his brain onto the brain stem, and he is thanking the

people who took him to the hospital and saying god used them to save his life. >> no side effects. 3% chance of survival. >> he went home and started to vacuuming and sent the video to doctors saying i'm all right. >> thank you. we want to bring in our chief medical correspondent, jen ashton joining us from boston this morning. hi there. >> hi paula. >> we mentioned gnaw tasha richardson's death, but how rare are these? >> you know it happens. it's not common but obviously, we do see it. it's estimated to happen in 5 to 25 cases of severe head trauma. we have to put that into context. there are about 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries in this country every year and about 52,000 deaths attributed to that and you have to look at the risk factors here. the big ones the trio we think about when you talk about a sub

durl hematoma. as we age, the brain does shrink a little bit. and when you are on blood thinners that can increase the risk of bleeding at baseline, and if you jar your head and it hits the inside of the skull, it can tear those veins and give you a sub durl. >> coachdaughter was 65 and he was on blood-thinning medication but he slipped and hit his head the night before, but he didn't have a headache. how would you know this happens? >> take a look at this list of sipymptoms symptoms. there are many symptoms and the key is a change in mental status. if you have any of these symptoms after head trauma you need to seek medical attention immediately. go to an emergency room, call 911. obviously, not all of these sip symptoms mean you have it, but you have to err on the side of

really get our attention. >> so what should pregnant women know about the possible risks and the dangers for their unborn child if they are going to marijuanawell to be clear, acog which is our national nization is explicit. there is no safe use of marijuana at all during breast-feeding. we think there is the possibility that marijuana use can affect the development of the brain, and there have been studies that have shown that women who are pregnant who use marijuana weekly are at increased risk for having what we call a low birthbaby and that's having a baby that's less than 5 1/2 pounds, and that carries its own risks. yes, we need more data and yes, women need for options for things like morning sickness or pain, but at this time the official recommendations are crystal clear. do not use marijuana during pregnancy. >> as a guide, what advice do you have for women if they have used pot recently?

>> i think pregnant women can't be afraid to talk to their obstetrician or midwife about this. if you are using, or if you have used at any point in your pregnancy pregnancy, stop immediately. discuss this with your health care provider and listen we have to err on the side of caution. you don't want to roll the dice with one baby or two babies and so so, you know at this point, the bottom line is no need for weed when you talk about pregnancy. >> okay. great advice and interesting study. thank you, dr. jen. let's send things over to dan. >> thank you, paula and jen. switching gears to brand-new research from consumer reports on frozen pizzas as wefootballen is and down to the super bowl. more people ever will beg and my producers can't get enough of football or pizza. there they are. subtly dressed.
