And now to those severe summer storms that are slamming the middle of the country and the nations capital. Washington, d. C. , hit by flash floods getting a months worth of rain in just an hour. Abcs Stephanie Ramos is in arlington, virginia, with the latest. Good morning, stephanie. Reporter michael, good morning. Take a look at just some of the damage left behind here in northern virginia. The weather so forceful it ripped this pedestrian bridge off of its foundation, evidence of just how powerful yesterdays storms were. Overnight, extensive flooding in the rockies and plains. Up to 9 inches of rain falling into nebraska. The summer thunderstorms hitting kearney, paralyzing drivers after encountering the massive amounts of rain. In fargo, north dakota, the water forcing people to abandon their cars and the flooding wrath stretched from the hills of maryland to the d. C. Metro area and virginia. At this park in frederick, maryland, raging waters created waterfalls. This is huge. All by those trees, this is our park. And the fourth of july this would have been filled with people. Reporter in d. C. , dozens of water rescues. I was stopped at the light. A bus came through, it was like a tidal wave hit me, boom. Reporter people jumping on to the tops of their cars for safety. At this d. C. Metro station, a waterfall plunged through the ceiling here. Even the white house getting its basement flooded. Residents in potomac, maryland, trapped. Their only road out a sinkhole. In nearby arlington, virginia, this woman says she prepped for the storm but didnt expect so much rain. By the time i left the basement i swam out of it. It was probably close to my shoulder height. Reporter during the height of the storm 911 calls poured into dispatchers. Officials in maryland tell us they have received about 250 calls in a threehour period alone. Robin . Troubling. All right, stephanie, thank you. Now the latest on Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire pleading not guilty to sex trafficking charges while prosecutors say they made a disturbing discovery at his mansion. Our chief National Affairs correspondent tom llamas is outside epsteins townhouse here in new york with more. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Just behind me this is Jeffrey Epsteins manhattan mansion. Some call it one of the most expensive homes in all of new york. Federal agents call it a crime scene. They say when they busted through those doors, what they saw inside was consistent with what the alleged victims told them. That the assaults happened inside a massage room. This has some very powerful people are having to explain their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein including president bill clinton who overnight released a statement. This morning, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is behind bars, but fighting to get out. Prosecutors arguing the politically connected multimillionaire should not be released on bail. When you have two planes and you live much of the year abroad, you know, we think thats a very real risk. The ur money manager appearing in a Blue Jumpsuit in federal court monday pleading not guilty to charges he trafficked dozens of underaged girls at his massive manhattan and palm beach mansions. Also this morning, new raid video showing federal agents as they bust open the door of his sevenstory, 77 million home on manhattans upper east side. In a dramatic News Conference on monday, the u. S. Attorney saying inside investigators found hundreds, if not thousands, of female nude or partially nude photographs, some of the photos seeming to show underage girls. And inside of a locked safe, compact discs, one allegedly labeled young miscellaneous nudes 1. Another titled, girl pics nude. The alleged behavior shocks the conscience. Reporter according to the indictment from 2002 to 2005, epstein recruited girls to engage in sex acts with him after which he would give the victims ndds of doarin cash. And paid some victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused. When you saw him, it just brought back bad memories. Yeah. It brought back the last time i saw him which was right there at the massage table and it just started making me feel uneasy, nervous. Reporter Michelle Licata and courtney wild were in court to see epstein face those charges. They both say the megamillionaire assaulted them. Wild says she was only 14 at the time. We get to look him in the face today and see him, you know, in handcuffs. It was just nice to be able to share it with somebody, look at you and say, okay, today is our day. Reporter we were with her exclusively as she headed to court. Just to hear that theyre standing up for the victims, you know what i mean, is just like so overwhelmingly un its past due. Reporter but both women fear epstein who pleaded not guilty could beat this case. Hes 66 years old, owns at least six homes and two private islands. In the past he socialized with Prince Andrew and president bill clinton and donald trump. In a 2002 profile in new York Magazine before any allegations surfaced, trump called epstein a, quote, terrific guy, adding, hes a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as i do, and many of them are on the younger side. In 2007, epstein faced a potential federal indictment in florida on similar charges. He struck a secret plea deal serving just 13 months in county jail and registering as a sex offender. The u. S. Attorney who authorized that deal, alexander acosta, now the secretary of labor. Now, as we mentioned earlier president bill clinton released a statement overnight. We want to show that statement right now. His office says in part, president clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in florida some years ago or those with which he has been recently charged with in new york. In 2002 and in 2003, president clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epsteins airplane. Now, we should also mention this morning that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now calling on secretary acosta to resign. George . Okay, tom, thanks very much. A lot to lets bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams for more on this. Lets begin with the argument well hear from epstein and his lawyers. They reached an agreement in 2008. This is a do over. They basically had a deal, a nonprosecution agreement from the federal government and theyre going to say, wait a sec, what happened to that deal that we had . Now, the Southern District of new yorks position is that was a deal with the prosecutors in florida. We are not bound by that deal. And part two to that is, that deal is also being litigated right now. Meaning, a judge is deciding whether to throw that deal out entirely because there was a violation of the law by prosecutors in florida when they didnt inform the victims of what was happening. And so the question now become, should the remedy for that be that that entire nonprosecution agreement gets thrown out. The Justice Department oversees both the district in new york and district in florida. The attorney general william barr has recused himself. Right. He has said because he worked at a law firm that at one time represented epstein he wont be involved and that is relevant only because you have this issue with these different districts. Which makes it interesting because the person in charge then becomes that much more important. One of the Big Questions is new evidence developed in part by what theyre taking from the mansion of Jeffrey Epstein here in new york. Oh, yeah. If they found more pictures with children, if they found more evidence, that could be additional charges. Were not talking about just additional evidence in connection with this case. That could be more charges against Jeffrey Epstein and, remember, we talked about this before, the public corruption unit of the Southern District of new york is investigating. One of the Big Questions, will he get bail . Maybe. You presume someone gets bail. The presumption is someone gets bail. But because, a, hes got all this money, all these planes, these private islands and has been accused of witness tampering in the past, those are very strong arguments against bail. Okay, dan, thanks. Washington fallout here as well so lets bring in our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce. Mary, the question now focuses on alexander acosta. He is the labor secretary right now. He was the u. S. Attorney in charge down in miami when this plea deal was struck and thats why nancy pelosi is calling for him to resign. Reporter yeah, george, in a rare move the speaker is saying acosta has to go. Pelosi tweeting overnight that he must step down saying that he engaged in an unconscionable agreement with Jeffrey Epstein that was kept secret from courageous young victims preventing them from seeking justice saying it was known by the president when he appointed him to the cabinet. Here on the hill there are mounts questions from democrats about how acosta handled this prior case that lead to that minimal sentence but so far they have not summoned acosta here to the hill to testify on this matter. We will see if that comes. On another front the administrations case against obamacare, big Court Hearing today. Reporter yeah, george, this is a big day for the fate of obamacare. In new orleans today 18 republicanled states will make their case before an Appeals Court asking them to strike down obamacare. We wont know any ruling until september. These are just oral arguments, but the practical and political implications could be tremendous. If the law is struck down, well then that could wipe out coverage for millions of americans, protections for people with preexisting conditions, coverage for young adults who stay on their parents plans could be wiped out as well as greater access through the expansion of medicaid. All of this could be in jeopardy but, george, even if republicans do win in the courts they could lose big politically because as the president recently told you last month that his Health Care Plan is coming sometime soon, george, right now republicans do not have a plan to replace obamacare. It will be front and center, 2020 campaign, thanks very much. Michael . Were going to go to President Trump now and the reaction this morning to leaked comments from the British Ambassador calling the Trump Administration inept. Now the president is saying hell no longer deal with that ambassador and our Foreign Correspondent James Longman has the very latest. Reporter an urgent investigation under way this morning behind the leaks that undermined the u. S. s closest relationship. Not clear who is behind it but the uk government says theres no evidence of foreign intervention. Sir kim darroch labeled the minutes inept and President Trump firing back saying the u. S. Will no lodger deal with that beaambassador and were no big fans of that man. We pay them as taxpayers to give us their frank assessment of the situation in the countries where they are serving, which is what our ambassador in washington was doing. But its a personal view and there will be many people in this building who dont agree with that view. Reporter sir kim was one of the main architects of Donald Trumps lavish uk trip last month where he met the queen. Now his position is in the balance. One theory is that an antibrexit ambassador perceived in kim darroch was ousted by a probrexit official leaking these memos. Either way we have a new Prime Minister soon here in the united kingdom. This scandal threatens to sour that relationship before its even begun. All right, well see how that goes. Now were going to make a change. Were going to technology. Big changes coming to instagram to tackle bullying head on. Our chief Technology Get that out Technology Correspondent rebecca jarvis, you are here with the new look features that theyll have there at instagram. Yeah, thats right, michael. There have been a lot of changes coming to instagram and thats because bullying has become such an issue on the platform. About 80 of teens are now using instagram and more than half of them say that theyve been bullied there, and this is supposed to help with that. The first change is forcing users to pause before typing something offensive. If you type a mean comment in, it will immediately send this message asking, are you sure you want to post this . Instagram says that its run some early tests of the feature and they found at least some people delete that negative comment instead of posting it. They change the comment. Now, the second feature is called restrict and its meant to help users quietly block bullies without having to report them. So, once you restrict someone only that person will be able to see their comments on your post. They wont even be able to see when youre active on instagram and when youve read their direct messages. This is really supposed to address the issues that teens face because oftentimes that bully is also a bully in real life and teens are afraid to block people and to report them on the app because they know that can come back to hurt them in real life. The app is almost giving you a second chance, are you sure you want to do this, so why is instagram doing this . Youd love to say its because theyre all good people and they want to support people being good and behaving well. But ultimately this is also a business decision. It means people will feel safer and use the app and then advertisers will advertise more of their money. All right. Same thing it goes back to every time. Its a business. Im glad theyre doing this. It will help a lot of kids and its great to have you back, by the way. Thats right. So how is motherhood . I love motherhood. I really do. Isabelle, my daughter is amazing. Shes awesome. You guys have been so great saying hello this morning. Good to be home. Is she watching . Shes definitely awake. I dont know if shes watching. Shes beautiful. I saw the picture.

Tennis phenom who has captured the heart of wimbledon and the world beating one of her idols Venus Williams in the first round and then fighting back from the brink of defeat in the third round. Her cinderella run did end monday against one of the top players in the world, but her career is just beginning and i had a chance to speak with coco early this morning about her incredible ride and whats next. Coco, first of all, i want to say congratulations. It has been an incredible couple of weeks for you. You have to qualify for wimbledon. You become the youngest qualifier ever at the tender age of 15. You beat venus in the first round. You saved two match points in the third round advancing all the way to the round of 16. Can you just convey to us the emotions that youre feeling this morning . To be honest, i feel so blessed that all of this has happened. This has all been a surprise. I came into the tournament as a wild card and to qualifying and ended up playing the number one seed in qualifying and then once i got through qualifying playing my idol first round and this tournament has really been a roller coaster and then being down those match points and then coming back, that was definitely a great feeling. I had the pleasure of talking with your mom and dad last week and naturally theyre very proud of you. They said youre a little bit ahead of schedule. They had a sevenyear plan but you kind of advanced that with the way you are playing. Just tell us about what their support means to you and what they said to you after your match yesterday. I didnt play my best but they were still proud of me that i fought as hard as i could and that this whole tournament like ive improved so much emotionally on the court. My game improved because i improved mentally. Its just crazy how much support ive gotten these past couple weeks. Some people youve never met. Lets see michelle obama, yeah, she gave you a shoutout. She sent you a tweet. There were so many that were doing that online and you were doing some tweeting of your own, a team that were going to have here in our studio, the world cup champions, were you able to i know you were a little busy the last week or so, but were you able to keep up with their successes . Yes, i was definitely keeping up. Unfortunately, the last game i was actually practicing the same time they were playing and i only got to see the last five minutes but i was so happy for the ladies. They fought and im happy that we got our fourth championship. I think theyll excuse your absence until the final moments because you were a little busy yourself. Looking back, coco, what are you going to remember most about your first wimbledon . I think the most im going to remember is the crowd here. The people here have just been so kind and so amazing and im just excited to go back home and see who else to meet. What yo i hear you got some schoolwork to wrap up. You got that first, and because of the age restriction youre only allowed to play a limited number of pro tournaments. So when can we expect to see you next on the court. Im definitely going to be playing the u. S. Open and im not sure to be honest what tournaments ill play because all of this came by surprise but for sure ill be playing in new york. All right, youre coming to the big apple. Well, well roll out the red carpet. You can come by and see us in the studio. I know you say you watch us so you can be here with us. Wed love to welcome you and your family. Again, congratulations on just the grace on how you and your family have handled this. Please enjoy the moment. I know youre disappointed in your play yesterday, but thats a lot of tennis youve been playing. Youve got a great future ahead of you. Dream big and focus small on daytoday things to get to all the goals you have set for yourself. Bless you. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. That was after the interview ended. She is a remarkable young woman. Seems so grounded. I also appreciate the fact that she didnt play well yesterday and you could see it in her face how upset she was. Shes a competitor.

Now, we have the latest on Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire pleading not guilty to sex trafficking charges. Prosecutors said they made a disturbing discovery at his manhattan mansion. Back to our chief National Affairs correspondent tom llamas whos there outside his home with more. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Megamillionaire Jeffrey Epstein is hoping a judge grants him bail but prosecutors are fighting that pointing to his extreme wealth and access to two private jets calling him an extreme flight risk. Federal agents say when they busted into his manhattan mansion just behind me during a raid, they found hundreds, if not thousand o ptograph of nudewomen, many seeming to be undera underage. Now, yesterday in court epstein heard his charges and pleaded not guilty. His attorneys are arguing it feels like double jeopardy because years ago he pleaded guilty to a lesser crime in exchange for immunity. But prosecutors are saying that deal was just for florida. Now, the u. S. Attorney who made that deal is coming under a lot of fire. He is the current labor secretary, alex acosta, and this morning, speaker of the house nancy pelosi is calling on him to resign. Robin . All right, tom, thank you.

Because with my type 2 diabetes, im more likely to have a fatal heart attack or stroke. Lower a1c helps, but type 2 diabetes still increases my risk of a fatal cardiovascular event. Because type 2 diabetes is more than a1c. Wow these are great answers and thats why theres jardiance the first type 2 diabetes pill that offers a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit for adults who also have known heart disease. Because jardiance can reduce my risk of dying from a cardiovascular event. And it lowers my a1c, with diet and exercise. And its the 1 prescribed pill in its class.

How many of you are looking forward to not having to get up in the morning . Me. Everybody. Getting on the bus this morning was hard enough. Yeah. It was. So, megan, four world cup championships overall back to back. Do you like that word dynasty . Yeah. [ laughter ] if the shoe fits put it on. This team i think fits well into that word. And, rose, we know four years ago, you were watching the world cup in 2015 at a pizza parlor with your amateur Soccer League team. So now youre on the other side. What does it feel like to be on the other side, on the field and being a big part of this big win for team usa . Yeah, its been unreal and i think its been such a long journey for all of us to get here and this team has always inspired me but now to be able to step on the field with people that inspire me is a whole different story. Your role and your road to the world cup has been incredible. You say its not a dream. For some people its a dream. But you say its not a dream. Why is that . I dont know. I mean i think all of us, you like grow up and its kind of something youve always envisioned yourself doing. So i never like to call it a dream because it was something i really felt would be a reality someday. You made that dream a reality. [ cheers and applause ] i like it. I like that. I like that. They grow up so fast. You had a full circle moment too. You were showing, megan, you were showing us the picture of yourself when you were in the stands watching the 99 world cup team. Thats crazy. And those players inspired you. Now youre an inspiration. What is that full circle moment like for you . Thats crazy, actually. My friend from a long time we havent talked in a while dmd me on instagram and sent me this photo. We were thick as thieves growing up. Thats me, becca and my twin sister rachel. I dont even have words. Thats ridiculous. Face paint everywhere. Still remember that logo on the shirt and to be in this position right now is just incredible. And to be in position to make change, make change because we heard the chant on sunday, equal pay, equal pay. I know you all are out in front about this and, megan, you especially, and its like enough with the talk. What is it going to take to make real action happen, do you think . I think the conversation needs to move from, you know, are we worth it or should we have equal pay . What can we do now . How can fifa support the federations and federations support their players better and league support their players better . For all the fans and everybody, good morning, america. Watch your team. Watch the National Team. Watch your local club teams. I think that there is a part in this for everybody to do. And i think weve really left the old conversation behind us and now its time for action. [ applause ] a lot of the 99ers were the stands watching you. Mia hamm, brandi chastain, julie foudy who now says you are the 19ers leading a global movement. Does it feel like that to you . Yes. It was an incredible feeling getting our medals from Kristine Lilly and give her a hug. Its been full circle. And they started the trend and this program has such a rich history of success. As long as we can continue to carry the torch, i think were doing a pretty good job. Youre doing a great job. You really are. [ applause ] each and every one of you have a story. Oh, you took your glasses off. Crystal, you knew i was coming to you. All of a sudden you were like ready for your closeup. Look at you. You were one spot away, one spot away from making the team in 2015 and you didnt, and you worked your tail off and made it to this team. What is your message to those who may feel that their dream is not happening and to put in that work and make it come true . H. I think it starts with just investing in yourself. I think thats what i decided to do four years ago was not hang my head but just, you know, invest in myself, believe in myself. Surround myself with people who wanted it for me and i want it for myself and i think four years ago i was a different person, different player and just being here with this Team Fighting every day you cant help but get better being around these women. So its been an incredible journey. [ applause ] it seems like each one of you just makes the other better. I love that. And julie, you have you had an incredible tournament. You have fans around the world, but you have the biggest fan at home. A guy im very familiar with, zach, tight end, philadelphia eagle,healls you a baller. And hes a baller himself. How does that make you feel to have that support at home . It meant the world truly to have him there. We always like call each other best friends and then hes my plus one best friend. To have him there was great and to have him be there the whole time meant the world as well. Thats sweet. Can we give dont make me blush. I love that he was there. All you players are great. Can we give a special shoutout to that one right there, jill ellis, the coach. [ applause ] you may have a lot of talent but to bring them all together like this, the strategy, the strategy in each and every match. Credibly speci . Team so i mean ive said this a lot. They are incredible soccer players but theyre even better people. I think its actually the bond that they had with each other that gave us such a force when we stepped on the field. I mean theyre incredible individuals but they are a force and its been the greatest team ive been involved with. In terms of just their support for each other, love for each other and that really makes a difference and, oh, they listen to everything. Sure, they do. Im sure they do. Alyssa, hold it up. Everybody was holding their breath. [ applause ] everybody was holding their breath on this penalty kick. You make the save. You got a standing ovation, i know from me. So im curious. Do you know where its going . Were you guessing . Like, how did you have so much confidence . Wards, everyone else is celebrating and you had that complete focus like get back out there. Let me do my job. So how was that moment for you . What was going through your mind . There wasnt really much going through my mind. To be honest, because i kind of blacked out for a second but, no, it was i just felt calm. Everyone seemed calm. Everyone felt calm and a think that was just you know, i feed off of this teams energy and incredible teammates and just there was never a doubt in my mind that it was not going to go in and thats what i felt and was able to come up with it. And best in the world yeah [ applause ] and, rose, i know you mentioned there was something that you were missing when you guys were over in france winning the world cup.

The name alone makes me smile. Isnt it great . Hasselhoff. No, the t oh, the name of t. You know, its great because we really had no idea what we were doing and all of a sudden it turned into something really special with erik estrada. You and kit race Dirk Benedict from the a team and erik estrada from chips. I mean, this is my 80s dream. It was like comparing what happened to kit because 36 years later all the cars talk. All the cars are starting to drive themselves. They have artificial intelligence. They have scanners. They are kit. They are. We invented it and we had no idea. We were just having fun and to bring erik estrada and dirk to have the race was awesome. Was it surreal to look over and see these other 80s icons . Whats surreal is, we were like 14yearold boys. We couldnt stop making jokes and the director was saying, shut up. Shut up and we had so much fun. The show is fun. You know, thats what life is about. You want to see a clip . You want to see a clip . Hit it. Come on. Get out of my way, ponch. Thats what im talking about. Hang on, baby. Here we go. Ive got you now, you son of a [ bleep ]. Punch it. Yeah, baby.

Yeah, i was doing the gumball rally which ive done 21 years ive done about 11 and we were in italy and they pulled me over and i went, hello. And no, they said you are my hero.

Babybel saved it [ applause ] what a morning. Now an inspiring story this tuesday morning, its perfect. Chris norton was an 18yearold Football Player when a play left him paralyzed from the neck down changing his life forever but with the help of his beautiful wife emily they found the strength, he found the strength to walk down that aisle on their wedding day. Now, the incredible couple sharing their story in a beautiful new memoir, its called the seven longest yards. Please welcome chris and emily norton back here. [ applause ] to good morning america. Thank you. Oh, and bless yall. You have shared your story here on gma many times and then reading your book, learning so much more. Tell people what you mean by the longest seven yards. Yeah, so, i set the goal im going to walk emily seven yards down the aisle of our wedding. It took seven years to do that. All the way from my spinal cord injury but that walk down the aisle was probably the easiest part of our journey. What do you mean by that . Just like all the struggles and the ups and downs that we went through just to make that wedding happen. There was a time where i didnt know if a wedding was even going to happen, but we really wanted to share our story in this book to show people that lifes lowest moments can be the source of our greatest gifts. And its a beautiful love story, too. Thank you. I have to read this. Emily, i did not realize this because we remember the video of chris graduation and being able to walk across the stage and everybody was all excited. It went viral and everything. Reading the book, emily, finding out that after that moment you went into a moment of depression. I did. Yeah, so i went into a really dark time with depression and struggling with anxiety as well and i had lost hope completely and felt like i would never be me again. I was extremely independent. I want to do everything myself so i tried myself to fight it and instead of really facing what was going on i buried it down and put a smile on my face, no one had any idea i was struggling. Everyone thought we were doing great and everything was going well and i was fighting this battle that i had no idea how to get through and i struggled for way longer than i should have because of that reason that i felt like getting help would make me weak or i wasnt going to be okay in life if i got help. We went back to church, went to Christ Fellowship and i was able to get hope and strength and courage to from god in order to finally make an appointment with a Mental Health therapist and get put on medication. Ar a hope in this book. It was really hard to do. Its hard to be so vulnerable and open up about something but i want anybody out there who is struggling, who feels like this is the end, who feels like things are never going to get better, never going to be themselves again to know that you are not alone and that things can change. Im happier than i ever have been. Im more me than i ever have been and never thought i would beat that point. Put your faith in god and keep trusting him instead of trying to do it yourself. What is your hope that people will learn from your story . Yeah, i hope people just take courage in whatever battle that theyre facing, keep taking one step in front of the other and keep going even if you dont know where youre going and to always choose hope. And you all last time you were here you were fostering five children. You have now since fostered 17 and youve adopted five girls. [ applause ] we have. Its been amazing. I mean obviously there have been hard moments but really what i learned through that hard time i learned to trust in god and to surrender the weight. Too many times we carry things were not meant to carry and it weighs us down. I became mentally paralyzed because i was putting way too much on my shoulders and thats why we were able to be foster and adoptive parents, learning to be there and be present but focus on what you can do and put the rest on gods shoulders and surrender that weight so its absolutely amazing. Its crazy at times but we love it and its just a blessing to be able to give hope and love to these kids. You found your purpose. Oh, 100 . And you said something so beautiful, chris, because they met on a dating app and you were talking about how you feel that everything happens for a reason. Even Something Like this. Yeah, well, i feel like not everything happens for a reason but a reason can be created out of those bad things if you trust in god and, again, if you just keep going, hold on to that hope that things can get better, keep fighting. Then it can be creative. Well, you guys, thank you for sharing, continuing to share your story and what you are doing in the book and being so vulnerable is going to really help a lot of people. Its been wonderful for us here on the show just to see you all. To see you all over the years and see where your life is and the five kids, god bless. But you are a blessing. So thank you all very much. Thank you. And you can see the seven longest yards you can read it. It is out now. Thats the end of our show, everybody. [ applause ] have a great tuesday, everybody.
