Some of our top stories on this friday, it is may 19th. Announcer from abc news, this is world news now. Good morning to you all. We begin this half hour with President Trump sending off a barrage of allegations about russia, the election and his conversations with former fbi director james comey. The president denied that he asked comey to shut down the investigation into former National Security adviser, Michael Flynn. As he spoke out for the First Time Since that special prosecutor was appointed to lead the probe, the president dismissed the investigation as a witchhunt. Well, i respect the move, but the entire thing has been a witchhunt and there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign. But i can only speak for myself and the russians, zero. I think it divides the country. In the meantime, the Deputy Attorney general was on capitol hill and he was telling senators why he needed to hire an outside prosecutor and also try to explain the events surrounding comeys firing. Mary bruce reports that while the president is against the investigation, Many Republican lawmakers are not falling in line. Reporter the man who appointed the special counsel to lead the investigation smiling for cameras as he arrived on capitol hill. The president said this is a witchhunt, is that what this is . Reporter behind closed doors Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein briefing all 100 senators on why he decided a special counsel was necessary. He said to make sure the integrity of the department of justice was protected and to make certain the American People felt this was going to be handled justly. The spence counsel hurts our country terribly. Hes entitled to his opinion. I would suggest to the president that one has been appointed. Honor that decision, cooperate where its appropriate. Reporter it was hard to find a single republican who backs the president s assessment. I think this is a serious investigation. Is this a witchhunt . I think ill not characterize what it is. Reporter rosenstein was initially invited to the hill to discuss the firing of former fbi director james comey. The white house at first claims the president acted on rosensteins which he outlined in a memo. But trump admitted, recommendation or not, he was going to fire the director. I was going to fire comey. My decision. Reporter in the press conference the president vented about comeys testimony before congress. Makes me mildly nauseous to think we might have had some impact on the election. That was a poor, poor performance. So poor, in fact. Youd have to ask him but i believe thats why the Deputy Attorney general went out and wrote his very, very strong letter. Now, rosenstein has been eager to set the record straight emerging from that meeting. Rosenstein said he knew the president was going to fire comey, even before he wrote that memo. Mary bruce, capitol hill. Our thanks to mary on the hill. President trump said he is close to announcing his new fbi director. Former connecticut senator Joe Lieberman is his top choice to replace james comey. Lieberman a former democrat who turned independent. He was al gores running mate in 2000 but backed john mccain for the presidency in 2008. Democrats say they want someone who is not political. Amid all the controversy here in the u. S. , President Trump will leave on his first foreign trip since taking office. The eightday journey begins in saudi arabia where hes hoping to advance his Campaign Promise to wipe out terrorism. Reporter all set for his first trip abroad as commander in chief, President Trump begins a nineday journey to the middle east and europe. But a chaotic two weeks has certainly cast a cloud over what the administration hopes will be a constructive debut on the world stage. White house sources tell us the president wants to demonstrate leadership abroad and recruit new allies in the middle east to partner in the fight against radicalism. Before his trip to the g7 summit in belgium, the president will send a message by meeting with the three major religions. Saturday visit with leaders in saudi arabia and next week will meet with the israeli Prime Minister and palestinian president. He will then travel to the vatican for his first facetoface meeting with pope francis. One thing we do not expect during the president s trip is an announcement about moving the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. This is not the right time as the administration focusing on brokering a peace deal between the israelis and the palestinians. A high stakes visit for a president who is hoping to turn the page on a stunning twoweek visit over the fact that he disclosed classified information and that he instructed former fbi director james comey to end an investigation into his former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. The president denied that allegation yesterday. Catherine faulders, white house. House lawmakers may have to pass another vote to repeal and replace obama care. Just two weeks ago they were celebrating in the rose garden there at the white house after barely approving the measure. Now it turns out parts of the bill may need reworking depending on estimates from the congressional budget office. When that happens, another vote might be necessary. And congressman Jason Chaffetz says his last day on the job will be june 30th. The utah republican said he is resigning because he realized that he and his wife will soon be empty nesters and he wants to spend more time at home. As chair of the House Oversight committee chaffetz was leading the investigation into President Trumps firing of fbi director james comey. New York City Police are investigating this morning after deadly mayhem in times square. Officers installed concrete barriers all around the popular tourist site. Richard rojas slammed a car into 23 pedestrians, killing one of them. The victim that died is identified as 18yearold Alyssa Elsman visiting new york from portage, michigan.
