cecilia, thanks very much. we want to bring in ray kelly, former chief of police in new york city and, ray, you know, we've talked about this so many types before. we don't know anything about motive right now. all we know so far is that this was a single shooter. likely a white male in a blue shirt. but this is the kind of thing that we've been so concerned about. a single person can't be stopped. >> you're right. absolutely, particularly someone who obviously is willing to give his life. security detail is right there. they acted. the individual is still alive and we'll get the motive. we'll be able to execute warrants and go to his house, look at his computer work, that sort of thing but you're right, george, somebody willing to sacrifice their life, it's very, very hard to stop, apparently this game was or the practice was fairly well known in the area. >> ray, let me interrupt you for a second. we have senator jeff flake who is on the scene is speaking now. >> i just batted and -- >> was standing watching

i want to bring in cecilia vega. this was a bit of a test of sort for the president after a shooting like this. >> we may have our differences, but we do well in times like these to remember that everyone who serves in our nation's capitol is here because above all they love our country. we can all agree that we are blessed to be americans. that our children deserve to grow up in a nation of safety and peace. >> cecilia, you heard from those lawmakers in the report just beforehand here on the hill. one told me we have in fact reached that breaking point. americans have to come together despite their political views, is the white house aware of that. >> they certainly are and in this call of unity is stretching from the white house down to capitol hill and frankly both sides of the aisle. the question right now is, this is coming at time in terms of deep division in the country. >> cecilia, as the president deals with tone, he's also dealing with a new headline breaking late today, the washington post now reporting th

it doesn't make sense. >> cecilia, you were there today. the white house was asked, does that offer still stand. >> he was asked whether in fact this testimony might happen? he hedged. this was sean spicer today, right here in the briefing room, he's not had further discussions with the president about this potential testimony. a very different answer from the white house today than the very adamant president trump we heard from a couple of days ago. >> cecilia, good to have you back tonight. >>> also breaking news in the bill cosby sex assault case. the comedian once known as america's dad, arriving at court with his wife camille by his side. the defense taking just six minutes to make its case. calling just one a single once. abc's linsey davis. >> reporter: tonight, bill cosby's fate is in the hands of a jury. earlier today, the comedian arrived at court with his wife camille cosby, this -- her first appearance at the trial. >> mrs. cosby, what do you want people to know about your husband? >> reporter: cosby did not take the stand, the

and now russia is condemning the new warning from the white house as unacceptable. >> and cecilia vega joins us now from the white house. cecilia, strong words from the white house press secretary, but nothing yet from the president himself. >> reporter: so far, not yet. that overnight statement came as you said, not from the pentagon or the president, but from the press secretary himself, and it seemed to catch a number of administration officials completely off guard. if the white house decides to strike on this one, we are told that military planning has been under way for several days, tom. >> cecilia vega with that stern warning from the white house tonight. thank you. >>> next tonight, new charges in an officer-involved shooting in chicago that made national headlines. three chicago police officers indicted on felony count that is they conspired to cover up the shooting of a black teenager, la kwan, like, donald. that officer awaiting a murder trial. abc's alex perez is in chicago. >> reporter: the disturbing dashcam video sparked national outrage, chicago police officer jason va

here's abc's cecilia vega. >> reporter: inside the white house today president trump ignored questions about that bombshell report he's under investigation for obstruction of justice. >> mr. president, do you believe that you are under investigation now? >> reporter: but he lashed out on twitter calling it a phony story saying, "you are witnessing the single greatest witch hunt in american political history -- led by some very bad and conflicted people." the white house tightlipped refusing to say who those bad and conflicted people are. but "the washington post's" report that the president himself is now a subject of special counsel robert mueller's investigation comes as a major turning point in the russia probe. a president fire former fbi director james comey because of the russia investigation? comey says yes. >> i was fired in some way to change, or the endeavor was to change, the way the russia investigation was being conducted. that is a very big deal. >> reporter: now it's no longer just he said/he said. investigators are looking into whether the president repeated something h

abc's senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega leading us off. >> reporter: with the world watching, today the president walked into the rose garden to deliver the news himself -- >> therefore, in order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect america and its citizens, the united states will withdraw from the paris climate accord. thank you. >> reporter: he's making good on a campaign promise, but in his own inner circle, the divisions ran deep. right there in the front row, the man who lobbied for withdrawal, his chief strategist steve bannon. not seen, those who opposed leaving the deal -- daughter ivanka. she was home, marking the jewish holiday. the last-minute lobbying from around the world intense, but the bottom line for president trump -- american jobs. >> i was elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris. i promised i would exit or renegotiate any deal which fails to serve america's interests. >> reporter: the reaction swift, the mayor of pittsburgh tweeting, "i can assure you that we will follow the guidelines of the paris agreement for our people, our economy &

cecilia vega. >> reporter: president trump today said he's close to making that much-anticipated decision. >> any decision on the paris climate deal mr. president, are you close? >> very soon. >> are you leaning toward getting out? >> you're going to find out very soon. >> reporter: behind the scenes, sources tell abc news the president is likely to pull out of the landmark deal. inside the white house, feverish last-minute negotiations on both sides. chief strategist steve bannon pushing for withdrawal, along with 22 republican senators. daughter ivanka pushing to stay in the deal. big names like apple's tim cook and tesla's elon musk calling to lobby president trump too. musk threatening to resign from white house advisory councils if the president backs out of the deal. >> a lot of it is a hoax. >> reporter: that was president trump on global warming during the campaign. >> it's a moneymaking industry, okay? >> reporter: aides now say his views are evolving. if the u.s. withdraws from the climate accord, it would join the company of nicaragua and syria, which haven't signed, and create

i think cecilia is exactly right. the problem is that the government's basic argument to the supreme court is just look at the executive order. don't look beyond the executive order. everything he said was in the past. it's not in the past anymore. >> right. that's a great point. cecilia, to the point about just look at what's on the sheet of paper, i mean, it is the case that absent everything else context-wise, the president has a lot of latitude in immigration law, particularly and probably if you took away the context that this was essentially making good on a muslim ban promise, you would probably have a much better shot to have it ruled constitutional. >> well, i think on its face, the executive order actually is very problematic, and probably couldn't withstand first amendment scrutiny. but what he's done today is to make it very difficult, and i would say impossible for the court to ignore what he's sailing. as steve just said, he's reaffirmed what he has been saying all along. and again, the test under the fi

thank you, cecilia. over to amy. >> all right, george, for more on the paris climate accord and what it involves and who it will impact our chief national correspondent tom llamas is here. tom, start with what's at stake. >> yeah, well, first it was the largest climate agreement in history. 195 nations sign on to cut greenhouse gas emission, nearly every country in the world, amy, except two, syria and nicaragua. now, if the u.s. pulls out it's going to join that very small and right now very infamous club so what is at stake? the u.s. pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 26% by 2025. but every country sets the rules initially so some people don't like that. china, for instance, doesn't start really until 2030. the ultimate goal of the climb paris accord, here's what it is we want to make sure global temperatures don't rise above 3.6 fahrenheit. experts believe that's the point of no return. >> okay, and we heard from cecilia's reporting that there is quite the battle brewing inside the wa

, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you.he called her crazy, he said she had a low i.q. and now there is universal outrage about this on both sides of the aisle, but so far this white house is not apologizing for this tweet. take a listen to what senior counselor kellyanne conway had to say just a few minutes ago. >> whether you endorse the president's tweets. >> i endorse his ability to fight back when he is attacked. there is no good comes out of people attacking the president's physical and mental states on national television every day. >> reporter: msnbc host mika brzezinski and her co-host joe scarborough are firing back this morning too. here's what they had to say. >> he appears to have a fragile impetuous childlike ego that we've seen over and over again, especially with women. it's like he can't take it. and i saw this happening yesterday in realtime. we were talking about the "time" magazine cover, the white house claims that we attack him. no, we report on his lies. we are upset when he doesn't tell the truth and

here's cecilia vega tonight. >> reporter: on camera today, president trump, mum and on message. >> mr. president, are you under investigation by the fbi? >> reporter: but on twitter, a presidential rant turned into a stunning admission, the president publicly acknowledging for the first time that he is indeed under investigation. he wrote, "i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director! witch hunt." despite those blunt words, a source close to the president's legal team claims he was not actually confirming the investigation, just referring to the "washington post's" report that it is happening. as for the man leading that so-called witch hunt, the president apparently talking about rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who appointed special counsel robert mueller to oversee the probe. before that, rosenstein wrote a memo deeply critical of former fbi director james comey. >> highly respected. very good guy. very smart guy. the democrats like him, the republicans like him. he made a recommendation but regardless of recommenda

here's cecilia vega. >> reporter: inside the oval office today -- a crush of international reporters in a scrum that nearly knocked a lamp off the table. president trump intervening. >> fellas, easy. wow, you guys are getting worse. >> reporter: the white house hoped a visit from south korea's new leader might shift the focus away from the president's latest tweet controversy. instead, once again, his own tweets created a distraction. fierce bipartisan backlash after he attacked cable host mika brzezinski, calling her "low iq crazy mika" and claiming she was, quote, "bleeding badly from a face lift," during a gathering at mar-a-lago. this morning she fired back. >> the president's tweets? whether they're personally aimed at me or aimed at me in some way, that doesn't bother me one bit. it does worry me about the country. he appears to have a fragile, impetuous, childlike ego that we've seen over and over again, especially with women. it's like he can't take it. >> reporter: the hosts also dropped a bombshell of their own. >> we got a call that, hey, the "national enquirer" is going t

cecilia wong, deputy legal direct earn of the aclu and dan stein, president of the federation for american immigration reform. dan, i want to ask you first what do you think about this interim arrangement saying people with connections to the u.s., family, a student, lecturing or a job here, that they're going to be okay? the supreme court has gotten itself involved at least in the interim. what did you think of that ahead of the supreme court taking up the case in a more final matter in the fall? >> well, brianna, this case has always been about what congress, what powers congress has under the constitution to delegate to the president, to protect national security under the immigration law, and the supreme court clearly will have a big debate whether or not the plaintiffs in this case even had legal standing, they call it, to bring the case, because clearly what they've done is said, look, for people with no contact to the united states at all, refugees and others, clearly no standing, not an issue. the executive order is legal. what they've done is left an ambiguous notion of a bona fid

, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you.his tweet has actually brought unity to this divided town with that outrage that you just mentioned. the president lashing out at the physical appearance of a tv host and now this morning she and her co-host are firing back. >> mr. president, no regrets over your tweets? >> reporter: this morning still no answer from president trump about those tweets lashing out at msnbc host mika brzezinski. the president calling her low i.q. crazy mika and her co-host joe scarborough psycho joe after brzezinski criticized him and he said they insisted on joining him and the president said she was bleeding badly from a face-lift. msnbc aired this photo reportedly taken at mar-a-lago around that time and this morning brzezinski and scarbrough responded denying the president's claims and writing, it is disturbing that the president of the united states keeps up his unrelenting assault on women. the donald trump we knew before the campaign was a flawed character, but one who still seemed capable of keep

what are you hearing, cecilia? >> reporter: robin, the uk has weighed in already saying it fully supports any u.s. retaliation for a chemical weapons strike in syria. the kremlin, on the other hand, completely different reaction. it says that it does not know what is the basis for this statement that came out overnight from the white house and that it, quote, categorically disagrees with the u.s. description of another potential chemical weapons attack in syria, robin. >> details continue to come in. cecilia, thank you. >>> okay, let's get more on this now from our senior military analyst stephen ganyard. and our new senior attorney correspondent ian pannell. let's start with you, ian. you spent many years in syria and know the assad regime well. we don't know the intelligence behind this warning from the white house but we do know assad has done it before. >> we do know he's done it dozens of times before according to many analysts. why does he do it? well,s asad has defied conventional logic. applying the kind of

so, let's get right to cecilia vega tonight. as you know, this was the most spent ever on a congressional race and democrats still could not pull this off. the president now 4-0. >> reporter: exactly. and the democrats spent more than five times as much as republicans on this race, david. there is a lot of soul searching going on here in washington. some democrats say that business as usual just isn't cutting it. others are pointing the finger directly at nancy pelosi, calling for a change in leadership. tonight, this white house is celebrating. this is a win. >> cecilia vega live from the white house. >>> next, jared kushner taking on another of his many tasks. this time, peace in the middle east. >> the president sends his best regards and it's an honor to be here with you. >> meeting first with netanyahu. then with ma hue abbas. but it comes amid questions about curb nerp's security cleern back here at home. he is expected to be questioned by congressional investigators about his failure to disclose meetings with russian offi

cecilia? >>> we turn to the severe weather threat, dangerous winds and hail. the main concern for millions tonight. south of omaha winds over 100 miles per hour. not confirmed to be a tornado but take a look at the video capturing the destruction. abc's senior meteorologist rob marciano is here. a lot of damage in the plains. >> another reactive night. for mid june. the threatening areas will be from kansas city to chicago as it heads into the zone and tomorrow watch these storms develop and roll across the mississippi and ohio rivers that stretch from little rock to louisville to the st. lawrence river and big time heat building from kansas city back to phoenix. we could see near record breaking high temperatures and this sort of heat, 115, maybe 120 last through midweek. so a long dangerous stretch. >> brutal numbers out there. good to see you. >>> we turn to minnesota where the cleanup is under way after a night of protests. anger in the streets following the acquittal of the police officer who shot castile. found not guilty and was fired from the force. yo
