This morning on world news now, another trump insider now out. Omarosa is gone. The apprentice star turned west wing staffer escorted from the white house. According to reports. This morning, she explains her side. And roy moores latest comments on the alabama election, still refusing to concede to doug jones. Hear what he had to say. And new this half hour, the television. What brought the the view cohost Meghan Mccain to tears and what joe biden said that nearly broke the internet. And, as hard as it may be to believe, its been 40 years since we first hustled to saturday night fever, were going to tell you about the big bash in brooklyn and the club where it all happened. We are grooving like its 1977 on this throwback thursday, december 14th. From abc news, this is world news now. Right. Wait, i think youre going to wrong direction. What do you mean . Isnt it more doctor spin, you think id know it all these years later. Very complicated. I cant believe its been 40 years. I think well have ample opportunity to practice as people celebrate. But first were going to get to the interesting news that people are talking about. The highprofile aide leaving the white house, former reality star omarosa menig on old newman stepping down after a less than a year on the job. Sources say it was a madefortv exit. Following a rocky clash with other staffers. She made about 180,000 a year in one of the illdefined roles of the chief of staff was reportedly looking to cut. President trump tweeting, thank you, omarosa, for your service. I wish you continued success. Abcs cecelia vega with details. Youre fired. Reporter it happened three times on the apprentice. Omarosa Manigault Newman is out of a job at the white house. The official line, she resigned to pursue other opportunities. But multiple sources say she was fired. And in a dramatic departure fit for a reality tv star, she was escorted off the white house grounds. Polarizing, to say the least. Every critic, every detractor will have to bow down to President Trump. Reporter she was also one of the most highprofile africanamerican staffers in the administration. A friend of the boss who could walk into the oval office whenever she wanted, that is until chief of staff john kelly took over. She notoriously clashed with fellow aides, and there was this scene at a Journalism Conference this summer. If you dont want to be here, dont be here. Reporter many in the west wing couldnt even say what she did in her role as director of communications for the office of public liaison, and she will perhaps be best remembered for her lavish wedding and showing up to the white house wearing her wedding dress, a party van full of guests with her he for an unannounced photo shoot. And there doesnt seem to be much love lost, one aide describing her as one disaster after the next. Cecelia vega, abc news, the white house. Ive got to tell you, a lot of folks in the black community are saying, girl, bye, including some cnn partialists who couldnt hold back. Angela rye was very honest with how she felt. Look at this. Bye, honey, you have never represented the community, you are skin folk. We dont own you like zora. Goodbye, good riddance, goodbye. Im not delighting in her demise. I wish her the best, but ahh tell us how you really feel. She sugarcoated that one is what youre saying. That was just part of it. It was just like, bye. We are going to get to hear omar on osas side of the story when she speaks to Michael Strahan this morning on Good Morning America. You dont want to miss that. The tea will be spilled basically at 7 00 a. M. In the meantime, were going to move on. Because republicans are on the verge of a huge tax victory that could put the 1. 5 trillion bill on President Trumps desk by christmas. So theyve agreed, on principle, at least, to bridge the house and the Senate Version. They are expected to vote next week. The bill would dramatically cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations. But lawmakers and the president are promising it will provide big cuts for the middle class. We are so close right now. Maybe we shouldnt talk about it. Americans will see lower taxes and bigger paychecks, beginning in february. Just two short months away. Republican leaders have agreed to drop the Corporate Tax rate from 35 to 21 . The bill would cap the mortgage deduction at 750,000, which is a middle ground between the senate and the house versions. And the Obamacare Mandates would be dropped that requires all americans to have insurance and the tax rate would be lowered from 39 to 37 . Alabama republican roy moore is refusing to give up after a stinging defeat in the race for u. S. Senate. Doug jones called on moore to concede. After becoming the first democrat in the state to be elected senator in 25 years. Jones now says its time to heal, but moore, who was plagued by Sexual Misconduct allegations insists the race is too close to call after trailing jones by 20,000 votes. And he posted a video message to his supporters. In this race, we have not received the final count to include military and provisional ballots. This has been a very close race, and we are awaiting verification by the secretary of state. This particular race was watched not only by the people of this state but by the entire nation and many around the world. Election officials in alabama say theres no reason to question the results. Theyre expected to be certified by the end of the month. And minnesotas Lieutenant Governor is set to replace senator al franken once he steps down. Tina smith says she will also run in november to complete the two years remaining on frankens term. Franken announced his resignation a week ago amid Sexual Misconduct allegations. He praised smith calling her a dedicated public servant. A kentucky state lawmaker accused of sexually assaulting a teenaged girl has apparently taken his own life. The body of dan johnson was discovered hours ago with a single gunshot wound to the head. The county coroner says johnson, a church pastor, was found near a bridge in a secluded area. Earlier this week, a woman said johnson sexually assaulted her in the basement of his home in 2013 when she was only 17 years old. He denied the allegations during a News Conference from the pulpits of his church on tuesday. This allegation concerning this lady, this young girl absolutely has no merit, there is no, in fact some of this i heard yesterday for the first time as i read this story. Hours before his death he posted a facebook message asking people to take care of his wife. He wrote that ptsd is a sickness that will take his life and heaven is my home, in his words there. So the epa administrator, scott pruitt, has some questions to answer about a 25,000 phone booth in his office. They will look into whether he used any of the money that was supposed to be used for the privacy booth. The agency has said pruitt needs the secure phone line to make calls about classified information and to communicate with the president. The investigation of the booth was prompted by a request from congressional democrats. A botched landing at the worlds Busiest Airport is under investigation. A delta jet nearly touched down on an occupied taxiway in atlanta. It initially lined up and it did come in safely. And a jetblue flight was forced to make an Emergency Landing after a traveler allegedly bit other passengers. The flight was headed to los angeles from new york when the man reportedly started biting passengers traveling with him then allegedly kicked and punched other people on the flight. The plane landed in las vegas and the man was removed. Its not clear what caused the outburst. And test pilots in europe have brought a little cheer to the holiday skies. Clearly, we need it. And the folks at the controls of the new airbus a380 decided to get a little creative at 30,000 feet. Do you see it there . Anyone watching the flights progress on flighttracking websites saw it take an interesting route. Thats right. The jet flew over colone, with frankfurt, before return to go hamburg. And the whole pattern made the shape of a Christmas Tree over germany. The plane will eventually be used by emirates airlines. They were in the mood. Yes, like santas sleigh. Exactly. But with first class. Imagine if you were a passenger. If the they had passengers on that flight. I dont think passengers would be in a Christmas Spirit after that one. Coming up, the thank you dinner thrown by George Clooney. That his friends will never forget.

At least eight of his former employees have step forward saying he sexually harassed and abused them. This seasons winner of the Great American baking show will be announced at a later date. It was an Emotional Exchange between two political rivals. It happened yesterday morning right here on the view. Meghan mccain broke into tears with Vice President joe biden as they talked about his book detailing his son beaus battle with the same kind of aggressive brain cancer thats now afflicting meghans father. I think about beau almost every day, and i was told sorry that this doesnt get easier, but you cultivate the tools to work with this and live with this. I know you and your family have been through a tragedy that i couldnt conceive of. Look, look, look. Its not about me, its about everyone.

Your dad, when he was working with me became friends with beau. And beau talked about your dads courage, not about illness, but about his courage. That was quite a moment there on live television. And that moment came as we learned that senator mccain is back in the hospital. Hes being treated at walter reid for effects of his cancer treatment. He actually missed a couple of votes in the senate, but, you know, his office is saying hes on the road to recovery.

And inside each case was a stash of 20 bills, 1 million each. Thats better than oprah. You get a million dollars. You get a million dollars. You get a million dollars. Gerber said it was life changing. For many at the table who were just average, workaday people who helped george in his life. Gerber himself, already a multimillionaire tried to refuse the money, but as gerber tells it, george wouldnt have it, threatening if rande didnt take the money nobody would get any.
