Im diane macedo. And im Kenneth Moton in for kendis gibson. We begin with the search for a new head of the fbi. As the Justice Department interviews possible candidates for the job, President Trump is facing bipartisan criticism. Lawmakers are calling on the president to turn over any tapes he may have of his conversations with james comey. Abcs lana zak has the latest from washington. Good morning, lana. Reporter good morning to you, kenneth and diane. You know, the new fbi director will require Senate Confirmation but with the white houses changing stories about why the previous director was fired, Senate Democrats are threatening to withhold confirmation until a special investigator is appointed. The hunt is now under way for a new fbi director. As candidates arrived at the Justice Department for interviews, the president said james comeys replacement could be named sometime this week. I would encourage the president to pick somebody we can all rally around including those who work in the fbi. Reporter on meet the press republican senator Lindsey Graham said its time to clear the air. But i think its time to call the fbi director before the country at large and explain what happened at that dinner. You cant be cute about tapes. Reporter the tapes in question, those referenced by the president in a friday tweet storm when he wrote, james comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. We got to make sure that these tapes, if they exist, dont mysteriously disappear. If, in fact, there are such recordings, i think those recordings will be subpoenaed and i think theyll probably have to turn them over. Reporter for his part President Trump declined to answer questions about those referenced tapes at a golf course sunday. Mr. President , are you recording any of your meetings in the white house, sir . Reporter there are still weighty questions remaining about the motivation for the firing of comey and what it means to the Ongoing Investigation into Russian Election influence. Members of congress are hoping to hear from comey himself who visited the theater and posed for a picture with the cast over the weekend. And we may still hear from the man at the center of the storm. Abc news has learned that james comey is willing to speak publicly. You know, his Associates Say hes not after publicity, but he does want to be able to answer some of those questions about his record. Kenneth, diane. And there are so many questions surrounding this whole story. Many people looking forward to hearing from james comey, no doubt. Abcs lana zak live from washington. Lana, thanks. And President Trumps revised travel ban is back in the hands of a federal Appeals Court. Three judges from the ninth circuit are set to hear arguments today as the Administration Appeals a hawaiian judges decision against the executive order.

A worldwide cyberattack is likely to get even bigger today. The socalled wannacry ransom virus has already affected hundreds of thousands of computers in more than 150 countries. It exploits a flaw in an older version of microsoft windows. Many companies and organizations havent updated their operating systems yet. The bug wont let users access their files unless they pay a fee to the hackers. Although it has brought Major Companies in europe to a standstill, few have paid the ransom. I think, you know, 20,000, 30,000 worth of dollars only, i would never recommend you pay a ransom because youre dealing with a bunch of crooks. Youll never know theyll do what they promised to do anyway. Experts warn wannacry may spread as more return to work after the weekend. President trump has ordered Homeland Security to look into who is responsible for the global cyberattack. Microsoft says Homeland Security may not have to look very far. The companys president says the code to exploit the flaw was developed by the National Security agency and then leaked to the public. He says nsa should have worked with microsoft to fix the problem rather than stockpiling the code for its own purposes. He says a leak was inevitable.
