Decades in the making. Good evening. Thanks for joining us on this sunday. Im tom llamas. We begin with the specter of audio taping at the white house, and the calls for the tapes to be turned over. President trump threatening james comey, who he fired, with the possibility that the conversations were taped. And the scramble to find a new fbi director and put the controversy behind. Heres david wright. Reporter even as new candidates arrive to interview for the fbi directors job, President Trump is still being asked to explain this tweet, suggesting he may have taped his conversations with comey before he fired him. Mr. President , are you recording your meetings . Reporter the president declines to answer. On the sunday shows, members of both parties said hell have to. Republicans this tweet has to be answered. I would advise the president not to tweet or comment about the investigation, as we go forward. If, in fact, there are such recordings, i think those recordings will be subpoenaed and i think they will probably have to turn them over. Reporter and democrats. First of all, we have got to make sure that these tapes, if they exist, dont mysteriously disappear. To destroy them would be a violation of law. Reporter today George Stephanopoulos put it to ken starr, the independent counsel whose investigation of the Monica Lewinsky scandal led to the impeachment of bill clinton. If you were looking into this case, would you be demanding tapes from the white house, if indeed they do exist . Oh, absolutely. The investigation has got to be thorough. And that means you go where you think the truth is. Reporter for his part, comey is going on with his life. Last night, attending a musical here in d. C. Democrats say they want to hear his side of the story, testifying in public on capitol hill. Jim comey deserves his chance to lay out to the American Public his side of the facts. Reporter less than two weeks ago, comey confirmed he was still investigating possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia. To influence the november election. President trump admits that was a part of his decision to fire comey. But insists its a dead end. There is no collusion. We have nothing to do with russia and everything else. David, sources close to comey now say he would be open to testifying publicly . Reporter thats right. With an important caveat. He would be testifying about his firing, not disclosing details about the investigation. And apparently, hes not worried about the existence of tapes. And one source said, comey has been called many things but never a liar. David, thank you. And new details about north koreas latest rocket launch. U. S. Officials say it was this missile. Seen on parade, that they fired off today. It had been fired on three earlier tests, but this time, the launch was a success. Heres gloria riviera. Reporter that launch raising troubling questions about the increasing sophistication of north koreas missile program. Its the first time weve seen any military missile go this far. We can be sure theyre trying to make it nuclear capable. Reporter the missile launched early sunday, reaching an unusually high altitude. Going over 430 miles in 30 minutes before coming down into the sea between north korea and japan. A few hundred miles from russia. Reporter in a statement, the white house said the president cant imagine that russia is pleased. But Russias Defense Ministry says the test posed no danger. Due to that countrys Early Warning system. This was the seventh missile test since President Trump took office. The previous three tests failed, leading some to suggest that the u. S. Had hacked the tests. Theres a strong belief that the americans through cyber methods have been successful on several occasions in interrupting the tests. And making them fail. Reporter but on the fourth try, the test worked. The First Successful launch of its kind, the kn17. In response, the Trump Administration is calling for tougher sanctions. And pressed to explain its overall strategy youll soon find out, wont you . Youre going to soon find out. Were going to continue to tighten the screws. He feels it. He absolutely feels it. Reporter this week in new york, the u. N. Security council will hold urgent discussions, to talk about next steps with north korea. Tougher sanctions are already on the table. Tom .

It might be sitting on many computers in companies over the weekend and when theyre switched on again monday morning we might see the infection rates going back up. Reporter the attack spread at a speed never seen before. Across Six Continents with an ominous message suddenly showing up on the targeted computers. It was only contained when this Computer Security programmer in indiana, darien huss, discovered there might be a kill switch. It would not take for ransom all the files on that computer and it also would not attempt to spread itself. Reporter huss information was then used by a 22yearold programmer in great britain, who talked by phone with abc news, fearful to show his face. I was panicking, looking through the code, and i realized that actually no, we had stopped it. Reporter the biggest target in the u. S. Was the giant fedex shipping service. Elsewhere around the world, factories, hospitals, railroads, Even Police Departments were all hit. The targets were told to pay between 300 and 600 in ransom to free their essentially kidnapped computers, or have their files erased permanently. So far the number of targets to pay up is remarkably low, according to europols director. I think 20,000, 30,000 worth of dollars only. I would never recommend you pay a ransom because youre dealing with a bunch of crooks. You never know that theyre going to do what they promise to do anyway. Reporter the fbi and other Law Enforcement agencies around the world are now trying to follow the money, hoping it will lead them to the people responsible for the attack before they can modify their program and unleash a second wave.
