Whenever you get the jet stream to dip down like it does here in the west, and snow and another storm thanksgiving day in the middle of the country, and this one heads towards the northeast by sunday. Very active. George, over to you. Thanks, rob. To washington now and the latest on the impeachment showdown as it braces for a likely trial one of the most compelling witnesses yet closed out two weeks of marathon hearings. Fiona hill slammed the president s Pressure Campaign on ukraine saying she predicted this is going to blow up. Senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce is tracking it all from capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, george. Well, fiona hill said it was her moral obligation to come before congress, and in blunt testimony she detailed how the president and his allies have undercut official Foreign Policy and warned that they are being driven by conspiracy theories pushed by the russians. It was a dramatic end here to three days of highstakes hearings. The weeks final witness, fiona hill, a former russia expert on the National Security council came to congress with a stark warning for republicans. Some of you on this committee appear to believe that russia and its Security Services did not conduct a campaign against our country and that perhaps somehow for some reason ukraine did. This is a fictional narrative that is being perpetrated and propagated by the russian Security Services themselves. I would ask that you please not promote political divisive falsehoods to promote russian interests. Reporter hill said trumps personal attorney Rudy Giuliani was selling conspiracy theories straight from putins playbook and that trump was buying it. Is it your understanding President Trump disregard the advice of his senior officials about this theory and instead listened to Rudy Giulianis view . That appears to be the case, yes. Reporter hill detailed two competing channels of Foreign Policy that were often directly at odds. Republicans pressing her on a tense moment she had with the point man in ukraine, the eu ambassador, gordon sondland. I was upset with him that he wasnt fully telling us about all the meetings he was having, and he said, but im briefing the president. Im briefing chief of staff mulvaney. Im briefing secretary pompeo, and ive talked to ambassador bolton. He was being involved in a domestic political errand, and we were being involved in National Security Foreign Policy, and those two things had just diverged. Reporter hill explained how that domestic political errand later turned into a quid pro quo, that sondland explained the ukrainians would only get a coveted meeting with the president if they announced the investigations trump was demanding. Also testifying, david holmes, an american diplomat in ukraine. He says he overheard the president himself on a phone call with sondland discussing the ukrainian president. I then heard President Trump ask, so hes going to do the investigations . Ambassador sondland said, hes going to do it. I have a clear recollection these statements were made. Reporter republicans tried to attack hills credibility. Dr. Hill, you have provided me probably the greatest piece of evidence thats before us to illustrate the problem with hearsay. Reporter but hill pushed back. I talked about things i heard with my own ears, what we heard, saw and did and to be of some help to all of you in really making a momentous decision here. Reporter after more than 30 hours of public hearings the president s allies say the impeachment inquiry is nothing more than a sham. I think the American People see through it. They see that the facts are on the president s side and know this process has been entirely unfair. Reporter democrats say the evidence is clear. The president abused his power. There is nothing more dangerous than an unethical president who believes they are above the law. We are better than that. Reporter now while the hearings were wrapping up over at the white house, they are trying to keep republicans in line and strategize what comes next. The president yesterday met with key republicans including senator mitt romney who has been one of his fiercest critics and Later White House officials sat down with other republicans trying to come up with a game plan to tackle what they believe is a near certain trial in the senate. So, mary, lets look at what comes next. It appears the Intelligence Committee is done and theyre not going to call anybody else most likely. This will go to the house judiciary committee. Theyll draft up the articles of impeachment after they get a report from the Intelligence Committee. That goes to the house floor. Theyre still hoping by the end of the year to vote on impeachment and then comes the senate trial you were talking about, so take us inside the talks between the white house and republicans on how theyre thinking about this, how they plan to go forward with the trial. Reporter well, george, there does seem to be a little bit of a dispute here. Republicans seem divided over the best strategy particularly when it comes to timing. Some are advocating for a short trial, perhaps as short as two weeks. The argument there is theyre trying to limit the time and may also limit the political damage to the president while others are pushing for a longer, more drawn out process that would give some of these key moderate republicans a chance to show voters that they are taking this seriously and, george, a longer process could put those Senate Democrats in a tricky position, those who are running for president , because it could come up against those first early contests. The president is torn between wanting this over and wanting to have a full defense mounted by those senators. Okay, mary, thanks very much. Cecilia. There are also new developments in the race for the white house this morning. Former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg has just taken a major step toward running for the democratic president ial nomination. Linsey davis has more from the bloomberg tower here in midtown manhattan. Good morning, linsey. Reporter hey, good morning to you, cecilia. Okay, so heres the big announcement. The headline basically is that Michael Bloomberg is officially dipping his toe into the president ial waters. This is just a procedural move and not at all an official announcement, but by filing paperwork with the federal election commission, it officially declares the former new york mayor a candidate for president of the United States and it allows him to raise money for a run for the white house but bloombergs people are telling abc news this is just one step, not a final decision to run. Now, that said, bloomberg has also filed to appear on the ballot in five states and is spending more than 100 million on ads and Voter Registration efforts in key states. Now, this all reportedly propelled by the billionaires concerns about if the current frontrunners could actually defeat President Trump. Now, a little bit of trivia for you this morning, im sure george already knows this off the top of his head but the last time that this apparent strategy actually worked as far as bypassing the early contests and going on to nab the nomination, 1968 with hubert humphrey. George. I hadnt had that at the top of my head. Im glad you reminded me, linsey. Thanks very much. No . Thank you, linsey. We go overseas to israel where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicted facing bribery and fraud charges. Hes trying to hold onto his job facing a coup attempt, and James Longman has the latest from london. Good morning, james. Reporter thats right. Good morning. One of americas closest allies has been thrown into turmoil. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been formally charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust. He is the first ever sitting israeli Prime Minister to face such charges and the list of alleged wrongdoing is long and colorful. Pink champagne and cigars offered to him by a wealthy friend in return for political favors and a quid pro quo relationship with a Telecom Tycoon in rieturn for a favorabe news conference. Hes vowed to stay in office using perhaps the language of his close ally, donald trump, hes called the investigation a witchhunt but the corruption allegations against him have bubbled for months and the countrys attorney general says the ruling shows no one is above the law. T. J. . James, thank you so much. Now we turn to a scare on a crowded passenger jet. An International Flight forced to make an Emergency Landing just after takeoff because flames were shooting out of an engine. David kerley has the details. Reporter its the terrifying moment this little girl and her family on board a boeing jet heading from l. A. To the philippines hears the loud bangs. Flames were erupting from the engine, all caught on camera. Mayday, mayday, philippine, 113, we have an engine surge on the right engine, requesting immediate relanding.

Reporter passengers say the engine had bursts of flames on and off for 15 minutes before the airlines landon safely back at l. A. X. 45 minutes after takeoff. Firefighters there to meet the plane on the runway. I was praying. I was panicking. Reporter the problem, this was a compressor stall. Its when the engine essentially backfires like a car. While its not uncommon, it can be a harrowing experience for everyone on board. Very frightening. Philippine airlines did not have a replacement aircraft so it tried to book passengers on other airlines. Some stayed in hotels and hope to get to manila today. The controversy over a College Professor accused of sending racist and sexist tweets but allowed to keep his job because Indiana University says hes protected by the First Amendment. Diane macedo has the story. Reporter this morning, an Indiana University professor is facing backlash, accused of sharing racist, sexist and homophobic posts on social media. Earlier this month business professor Eric Rasmusen shared an article on twitter arguing women may be destroying academia and quoted the article, writing in part, geniuses are overwhelmingly male. I leaked to an article saying that women were hurting academia but i wasnt saying i agreed with that article. Reporter the tweet went viral and the university was inundated with demands that he be removed. For professors to have those views and say them so publicly is really kind of disheartening and very, very disappointing. Reporter the schools provost says rasmusen whos been teaching there since 1992 and has tenure has pushed bigoted views on social media for years including women do not belong in the workplace, that gay men should not be permitted in academia because theyre promiscuous and that black students are generally inferior academically to white students. She also says he will not be fired. Were a Public Institution and unlike private employers, were bound by the First Amendment of the constitution. Reporter but rasmusen is now speaking out saying his views are being misrepresented and his critics are overreacting. If theyre offended, thats their problem. Basically i listen to arguments about why they disagree with me but just saying im offended doesnt impress me. Reporter the University Says students will be given options to avoid his class and processes will be put in place to ensure theres no bias in his grading. The professor says hes viewing the whole thing as a learning experience. For a lot of people. Thanks, diane. Well turn to the growing crisis over Prince Andrew.

Her attorney telling abc news, Prince Andrews recent interview and his subsequent action to withdraw from public life is welcomed news. However, going on to say, more needs to be done due to what they call his central role in devastating the lives of countless women. Andrew who says he has no recollection of having ever met giuffre and categorically denies her allegations. Andrew and maxwell both deny all of giuffres allegations. Both have not been charged with a crime. Andrew says he has no recollection of even meeting her but, guys, here in the uk Public Opinion has definitely turned against andrew and now the palace is left trying to keep up the reputation of the monarchy.

No, no i dont think we should. Well, why not . Because the show is a fantasy.

Ratings for the show have plummeted as well. Last years were the lowest since they started televising it and the companys sales also struggling, almost 40 Stores Closed this year alone. Customers are turning to other brands that seem to resonate with them. Its not that customers arent buying these products anymore. Its just theyre not buying from victorias secret anymore.

Natalee holloways mother back on the island where she disappeared 15 years ago. Deborah roberts is here with what she learned. Good morning. Good morning, george. So many of us remember this story. Beth holloway has lived every parents worst nightmare. The disappearance of her teen daughter and the wrenching realization that she may never know what happened to her. Its a journey she hasnt much wanted to revisit until now. Beth holloway stands on the shores of aruba. It looks like paradise, but this is where her world fell apart. Abc news has brought her back to the island. This is where natalees life ended but this was not her life. Reporter nearly 15 years after her daughter natalee disappeared while on a senior class trip back in 2005. I helped her get her bag out of the car and kissed her goodbye. Never could i have imagined. Reporter within 24 hours of her daughters disappearance beth was retracing natalees footsteps finding surveillance tape of her and a local teen named joran van der sloot. When questioned, he admitted they made out but said he left her at her hotel. He says that she got out of the car, and that she stumbled and she hit her head, and two security guards helped natalee up, and he says those are the last two people that he left natalee with. Reporter but that is far from the last version of the story that joran tells. In 2006 he sat down with abc. Do you remember the last time you saw her . Yeah, the last time i saw her, she was sitting in on the sand by the ocean. Did you kill Natalee Holloway . No. Reporter joran making claims caught on hidden camera and seen on dutch tv, saying that during a romantic encounter, holloway suffered a seizure and, quote, suddenly she wasnt moving anymore. Van der sloot never faced charges for Natalee Holloways disappearance, yet five years to the day an alabama teen disappeared, a different young woman goes missing, and then joran van der sloot, once suspected in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in aruba is being sought as a suspect in the death of a woman in peru. Reporter Stephany Flores had been found dead in his hotel room. His fingerprints all over. The two of them seen on surveillance tape. Joran pleads guilty and is sentenced to 28 years. Oddly, he seems to be thriving there marrying and even having a daughter. With joran behind bars beth seems to have found some peace. Back in aruba this summer she goes back to jorans house to see if she can talk to his mother. I met with anita early on in 2005. I just wondered what her take on him is now. Reporter before long, police show up. Just trying to find out just kind of circling back. Well, just respect that. Reporter beth was desperately hoping for healing mother to mother. Her heartbreak spans the globe. Tonight on 20 20, were going to take you inside that prison where the man she believes killed her daughter remains, and we will tell you, guys, tonight, about whether beth might actually be able to find justice here.

Introducing the capital one walmart rewards card. Earn unlimited 5 back on everything you buy at walmart online. Whats in your wallet . Here we go. We are back with our black friday countdown. A bunch of deals just dropped at midnight from amazon and more. The big question, question of the day, should you buy now . Do you wait . Our guru of all things tech and retail becky worley is outside macys here in new york with our Holiday Shopping guide. Okay, becky, what do we do . Break it down. Reporter youre right, cecilia. Deals are being advertised like crazy. Amazon dropping the price on their kindle fire tablet to 29. Thats 40 off. Rarely discounted apple watches being slashed. Never in my 15 years of covering black friday for Good Morning America has the question buy to answer. Search for the best deals on black friday and the results are confounding. Buy now, dont wait. Black friday deals now. What gives . I think its all about competition between these companies and trying to outdo reporter because the time between thanksgiving and black friday is compressed, retailers are pushing up their time lines. Take these beats headphones from best buy, normally 349. They dropped to 199 the first week of november. They went back up to 349 last week, and now theyve dropped again to 209. These preblack friday sales are temporary and what theyre meant to do is to set the tone and to whet your appetite. Reporter that means discounts will get deeper. Adobe analyzes price data over this month and see gradual drops the first two weeks of november and right about now we see even bigger discounts. But this is important, the lowest prices are still predicted on thanksgiving, black friday and cyber monday. The website camelcamelcamel.

Thanks very much. We turn to the latest on the impeachment showdown. Public hearings have wrapped up after fiona hill, the top russia expert in the white house for the first couple of years of President Trump finished with her dramatic testimony. Want to go back to mary bruce on capitol hill with more on what comes next. Good morning, mary. Reporter george, good morning. After five days of hearings and 12 witnesses, these public hearings, you are right, it was a dramatic end, fiona hill saying that she came to congress out of a moral obligation and she came armed with a blunt message for congress. The weeks final witness fiona hill. A former russia expert on the National Security council came to congress with a stark warning for republicans. Some of you on this committee appear to believe that russia and its Security Services did not conduct a campaign against our country and that perhaps somehow for some reason ukraine did. This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the russian Security Services themselves. Reporter hill said trumps personal attorney Rudy Giuliani was selling conspiracy theories straight from putins playbook and that trump was buying it. Is it your understanding then that President Trump disregarded the advice of his senior officials about this theory and instead listened to Rudy Giulianis views . That appears to be the case, yes. Reporter hill said there were two competing channels of Foreign Policy. They were often directly at odds and detailed an agreement inside the white house that ukraine would only get a coveted meeting with the president if they announced the investigations trump was demanding. So what comes next . Well, there are no more hearings and democrats in the house are still hoping to have a vote on impeachment before the end of the year. The white house and top officials have been huddling with Senate Republicans to try and come up with a game plan for a trial in the senate. George. Mary bruce, thanks very much.

Little tables and, tory, check out gma tomorrow. All the ways we have an instagram ready thanksgiving spread and right now lara has pop news. Good morning to you guys. Good morning to you all. Well begin this morning with music news. Coldplay announcing overnight that even though they have a brandnew album out they are not going to tour any time soon.

All Three Friends are safe and sound and, yes, they did [ applause ] they were together. They did live together. They were just out on a joyride to to speak. Thank you, lara. We move to our gma cover story. James van der beeks wife is speaking out after the couple shared her recent miscarriage on dancing with the stars. Kimberly is revealing ho it was saying she nearly died and Abcs Paula Faris has the story. Reporter this morning, kimberly van der beek revealing harrowing new details about her most recent miscarriage that left her almost on the brink of death. In, you know, 48 hours we lost our baby boy and i almost lost my life. Reporter kimberly saying on instagram shes now returning to health but the miscarriage has left her weak. Im healing. Im definitely healing. Just taking it super easy, trying to restore and build my blood. Reporter shes the wife of actor james van der beek who opened up with this heartrending revelation on monday nights dancing with the stars. That night a tearful james expressing his anguish in the ballroom. The couple who are already parents to five children have been through several miscarriages before. James saying back in october, miscarriage, a word that needs a replacement, nobody failed to carry, these things sometimes happen is something that people rarely talk about and often go through in secret. There needs to be zero shame around it or around giving yourself the time and space to grieve. Dr. Ashton joins us now. One of the details there, she was actually due in april. Relatively late for a miscarriage. Yeah, it is, but first of all, thats a lay term. Thats not the medical term. The medical term is spontaneous abortion meaning the pregnancy just ended and can happen in any trimester, much more common in the first. Its estimated that as many as one in four pregnancies can end this way. But it is its a major loss and as were hearing it absolutely can be a lifethreatening emergency. That hemorrhage was serious. How long does it take for the blood it build back up . With each advancing trimester there is more blood flow so the risk of hemorrhage goes up depending upon whether or not has gotten a blood transfusion, if you lose a liter of blood as an adult woman thats considered a postpartum hemorrhage. And whether you get transfused or not will determine how quickly you feel better. If you dont and youre left still profoundly anemic it can take two to six weeks for your body to remake new red blood cells. One aspect of feeling better. How about the emotional aspect . Thats the hardest part, george. There is no question. We hear this over and over again but it cannot be talked about enough. This is a major loss for both partners. The grief can be profound. I think people need to know its nothing they did or didnt do. Its no ones fault. Theyre not alone. Plenty of people know exactly what theyre going through and the emotional part is actually more difficult to heal than the physical. Important reminder. Thanks very much. Over to t. J. And cecilia. Thanks so much. We turn to a pretty stunning undercover investigation that reveals Racial Discrimination in real estate and this was caught on camera. This is a really important one. The new york newspaper newsday discovering some minority home buyers received unequal treatment and Zachary Kiesch has more on this. Good morning. Reporter yeah, cecilia. Good morning to you as well. The only color that should matter when buying a house is green, right . Do you have the money . But this comprehensive investigation using 25 undercover mock homebuyers was done in an attempt to better understand whether race matters when it comes to potential options homebuyers are getting and the treatment theyre given. An undercover investigation by newsday found buying a new home may pose a risk of discrimination for nonwhite home buyers in some new york suburbs. The risks to africanamericans in particular of suffering potential discrimination was about 50 50. Reporter reporters working in conjunction with fair housing experts for more than three years, 240 hours of recordings of more than 80 Real Estate Agents. The testers of different races posing as first time home buyers. One newsday tester secretly recorded this Real Estate Agent praising a predominantly Minority Community when speaking with a black buyer. Every time i get a new listing in brentwood or new client, i get excited because theyre the nicest people. Reporter the paper says the agent sent the black buyer numerous listings in brentwood but when a white buyer asked to see homes there, the agent warned him to look into the areas Gang Violence and never sent him any listings. The agent in that situation is obligated to give the same information to both sides for the test. The warning about gangs did not come with the black tester and thats troubling because it should be equal. Reporter newsday also says its investigation showed evidence of some Real Estate Agents holding minority buyers to stricter financial standards. What is your availability . When can you start looking at houses . Reporter taking some white testers to see homes without proof of mortgage preapproval but refusing to do the same for some minorities. That means i cant go out to see anything . I wont do it. I can try another person, but i dont have the time to do that. What we saw from the newsday investigation is not unique to long island. Its the kind of practices that we see all across the country. And to realize that we still have this level of discrimination, its very hurtful. In addition to the newsday investigation, there are multiple probes into housing discrimination issues happening on long island by new York Lawmakers and, you know, as she pointed out there, while this might be the latest iteration, there is a long history of housing discrimination. Not isolated. What an investigation. Zachary, good to see you this morning. Cecilia. Well switch gears to our series, the right fit, where we help you find clothes that look and feel your best. This morning it is all about sports bras, something our becky worley is very passionate about. She helped two women with two very different fit issues. Take a look. Reporter whether you spin, crosstrain or run, this simple piece of apparel can make the difference between failure and success. Amy finn is a new mom whos running half marathons and says she has to wear two sports bras. So you wear both of these at the same time . Yes. To stop the bounce. To stop the bounce. Reporter aretha hampton, a kickboxer, says her sports bra is critical for performance. Im overcompensating for a heavy chest. My back starts to hurt. Reporter to find the right fit for these women we head to title nine, a Womens Clothing website that specializes in sports bras. In fact, molly here is their bravangelist. Yeah, thats a thing. We start with amy. Shes not even sure of her size. Womens breast size changes nine times over the course of their lifetime. Reporter so first tip, get measured regularly. Amys old bras were elasticized pullovers so right away she gets in an adjustable clasp bra. She tries a few. This is too tight, cutting in. You want to breathe and usually say two fingers. You can fit two fingers underneath the band. Reporter this one she loves. I feel nothing is moving but its quite comfortable. Not too tight. It just fits me quite nicely. Reporter now aretha. The main problem with her old bras was overspill. I notice right here that aretha is coming out of the bra. Reporter this first title nine bra with an underwire addresses that. I love it. Does it feel right . It feels awesome. Theyre high. I like that were getting that side boob back in there and then we have nice, wide straps. Reporter for high Impact Sports she asks for even more support. This is actually a sport vest. This is the bra that we call the last resort. Reporter whoa. But when aretha gets it on, total lockdown. I can feel that its really holding me down and its strengthening my core and making my posture straighter. Reporter two athletes feeling fully supported. If you take anything away from this, cecilia, its that the technology is changed. You dont have to have a meat loaf on your chest when you put a sports bra on. It used to be that way. You look at the ac bra that amy chose. It lifts and separates. Then weve got the big house bra here and this gave the coverage that aretha needed. Then the last resort bra from title nine is a game changer for some women. Look at the back. Total lockdown. The women in the audience really like that. This is important were talking about this stuff. You say you have more down here. The right fit for the right workout. You should change your bra depending what youre doing. From athleta we have the glory bra which is a high impact bra with underwire. Great for lots of bounce control. From nix, the catalyst bra, no underwire but good for high impact. Then youre going to yoga or lululemon has the flow y. Like wearing air. You dont need that support. Im sure all the ladies in here know this. These things can be very expensive. What do you know . What can you tell us . The cost and care . Think about what you pay for your athletic shoes. This is a piece of equipment. This is a little bit of a unicorn shape listed this champion bra as one of their top ten and its between 14 and 36. So like that. All right. Thank you, becky. Im glad were doing this. We like to work out together. We know this is important. For more on finding the right sports bra for you, go to our website. Now over to rob. Good morning again, cecilia.

Also, this is a time to experiment. You know when you go to mom and dads, theyll want moms mashed potatoes and grandmas pie. Have fun. This is a dry run for the real thing. Every year at real thanksgiving you bring that one dish you know will be a hit and the new thing for the table. You said the operative phrase bring the dish. How are you packing it up. If youre bringing something to your friendsgiving make sure youre bringing it in the dish youre going to serve it in. You dont want to be that person, hey, do you have a bowl i can borrow . And a serving spoon. Youre like, no, i dont. Take care of it. Also, most importantly, if youre a guest and you want to go home with leftovers, bring your own resealable container. I mean, come on. Yes. Bring wine. Bring wine. When in doubt always bring wine. Thats a given, right . You dont need to pilfer through your friends cabinets. Your whole team is there. Lara, youll kick it off.

You let it go for 20 minutes at 425, reduced at 300 then kind of just oil it up. Like this. And youre going to get it nicely browned. [ applause ] and then ive never heard of adding oil after. We go with the oil so it browns it evenly. Crispy. Youre gloss it with this glaze of soy sauce, orange peel, rosemary. So its kind of like fragrant, salty a little tangy. Well have the dry rub and that on our website. Smells so good. Doesnt it, george . Yes. Were doing mashed potatoes with carla. How do we get started . One thing we did, there are a lot of mashed potato recipes and we want to make it better and roasted our potatoes first. Used the ricer. Instead of seasoning the water that there you go. Instead of seasoning the water that you cook your potatoes in we made this awesome mixture of butter, milk, thyme, lemon, garlic, peppercorn and salt so the potatoes get beautifully seasoned in that while theyre getting just dump it in there. Yeah. And then we had to guild the lilly a little bit and the thing i love about mashed potatoes how luscious and creamy they are but whats missing is a Little Something crispy, crunchy and came up with bread crumbs, potato chips and that goats all toasted up and seasoned with paprika. Thyme, lemon zest, and when it comes out like this, hit it with a little parsley. Yeah. All right. We goto dressing or stuffing. What is it called. All right. Stuff. Were making dressing today.
