George and robin. Political analyst matthew dowd for more. As you know all transitions have intrigue. The long knives are always out but this issue exacerbated by the surprise results of the election. The prominent role of his family. How quickly can he get it under control . I dont think any of us should be surprised about whats been going on. This guy is frank sinatra. He does it his way and as we remember he cant change Campaign Management three types in the midst of a Campaign Race and every time we would say you he wins the primary. He wins the general election, every time we said you cant do that and running the transition in the exact same way running trick plays on every play and were sitting here saying you cant do that but seems to be winning when he does it. So far, steve bannon, can he survive the backlash . I think thats a real question, george. I think its building i thought it started and might go away after a while but its building in the course of this. I think donald trump will stand firm by him. Race. Hes not going to be pushed aside to do this but it is a problematic situation that one of his first announcements has received this much attention. And saw that interview on 60 minutes but so far no press conference. At some point does he have to come out and fill this vacuum a bit more. He seems to only fill it by tweets and uses twitter as a press conference vehicle in this. I dont expect him to do a press conference until after hes inaugurated president of the united s going to do it until then. Matthew dowd, thanks very much. All right, george.

Well start now with that bombshell case in ohio where a lawyer guilty of hypnotizing several clients so he could molest them, the women say they have no memory of what happened and abcs Mara Schiavocampo has more on how the lawyer was finally caught. Good morning, mara. Reporter good morning, a really unbelievable story. That lawyer admitting to using hypnosis to essentially put these women into a trance causing them to forget hours of time during which he took advantage of them sexually. Turned defendant. There is just remorse and grief in my heart. Reporter 59yearold divorce attorney michael fine sentenced to 12 years in prison for hypnotizing six female clients without their consent or knowledge and then molesting them. He used my trust in his position as my attorney to gain information about my vulnerabilities. Reporter according to legal documents in 2013 one of fines clients noticed that after their disheveled and that she could not recall the entire duration of these meetings. Something that happened again and again. Suspicious she began taperecording her conversations. Learning shocking details about their meetings, she says, she didnt reremember. That fine began to use code words to get her into a trancelike stage and then engaged in a sexually charged discussion saying things like at and he would say that he had some relaxation techniques that the best thing they can do is try to relax in order to help themselves. Reporter the first victim took the recordings to police who had her wear a wire and video record her when fine began the same behavior at the next meeting they nabbed him. While hypnosis is a powerful therapeutic technique there is no consensus on exactly whats possible against someones will. Can w their clothes off in a public place through hypnosis . The short answer is no. However, we could possibly convince them that the temperature was so hot that they might want to disrobe. Reporter now fine has pleaded guilty to five counts of kidnapping and one count of attempted kidnapping. All with the sexual motive specification. In a statement he says he accepted responsibility for what he did wrong. He will have to register as a sex offender for the next 25 years and is facing civil lawsuits from the women. Now, there are so many Unanswered Questions about hypnosis and its particularly hard to study what you can make people do against their will because the studies themselves may be unethical. George. Well, that makes sense. Okay, mara, thanks very much. Lets try to answer some with dan abrams. What a creepy case. Wow, i mean really unbelievable. All right, first of all, youve got these women, youve got t women. They are going to a divorce attorney. This is at the lowest point in their lives. Theyre in the middle of a fight or about to have an enormous custody, the most important issues, and this guy is taking advantage of that. Which is, you know, which is in and of itself a problem and also terrible for lawyer, by the way, because this is supposed to be the most trusted relationship is between an attorney and a client, but if this case had gone to trial, it would have put if it had you would have had experts on both sides saying it is real and does work and the other i think the defense would have have to have been you cant force someone to do something against their will and yet increasingly hypnosis is being taken seriously by the Scientific Community and heard in that sound bite in the piece there it does sound like you can get people to do something you can change their will is the point. You can change their will and as a result, it would have been fascinating to h over hypnosis but now that hes pled guilty thats not going to happen. Now facing 12 years behind bars. Very Good Police Work here. Oh, yeah, absolutely, the fact that they were able to she has the withwithal to take it to the police and put this undercover video on her and have the evidence where i think this is what forced them to plead. Okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. Thank you both. Now to our investigation into new home problems following reports of buyers spending hundreds of thousands of dollars only to find what they say is correspondent brian ross is here with more. Good morning, brian. Well, good morning, robin. America has seen a new home billing boom but our investigation conducted it with abc stations across the country found that with that boom, has come heartbreak for so many new homeowners as they say their dream houses have turned into nightmares. In suburban washington, d. C. , the owner of this new home has a hole in her foundation and a snake that moved in underneath. All up and same kind of things. The people in this new subdivision say their greatlooking houses on the outside are to chockfull of problems and defects onnen the inside. Its very upsetting. Its the most expensive purchase well make. In one subdivision after another. The water would start here and travel along the ceiling. Reporter our investigation found homeowners claiming shoddy reporter with big builders slow or refusing to fix the problems big and small. You continue living in something that no one can give you answers for, no one will fix it. It was our house. It was where we lived. And we had to just walk away from it. Reporter what they all had was a bad case of new home heartbreak. Look at that. Just kind of typical of the homes that are built to sell, not built to last. Reporter something these two men short of the Sherlock Holmes and watson of new construction say they see far too often. Significant crack. Reporter the Industry Trade group says unhappy homeowners are in the minority and that americans have expectations that are just too high. The American Consumer expects a perfect home. Theres no such thing as a perfect home. Reporter yet documents show the Home Builders including the biggest d. R. Horton set aside millions to deal with construction defect claims. Horton calling it the ordinary as its ever been, better. Better than ever . Yes, sir. Are they shoddy . I say no. Reporter again and again it was only after the builders knew abc news or one of our stations was on the case that repair crews finally showed up. The bulldozer to redo the draining system at simone angles home in alabama didnt show up until after abc news started to ask questions. Its only because abc news is here or they would not have fixed it. That the builder sent an execute tough it check out roofing and drainage issues. This is how we knew it was leaking. Reporter outside houston, the builder d. R. Horton offered to buy this house back after our station ktrk began to investigate a homeowners complaints of defects and problems. They werent even moving until you got involved. 500,000 and the best advice first to spend the money to hire an independent home inspector to look for flaws and defects and finally beware many homeowners end up signing away their right to sue as many include a mandatory arbitration clause which means it cannot be appealed and is kept secret. Very important. Brian, thanks very much. You can see more of brians report tonight on nightline. Big board . Whats coming up, ivanka trump under fire over that bracelet, was her company trying to make a profit over her fathers election win. You may want to listen. You are you about to be charged for using that overhead bin on that airplane . It might be. Well be back in two minutes to wild mustangs. In the middle of all this. State farm knows that for every one of those moments, theres one of these. Wild mustangs . . I cant believe we live in the middle of all this thats why more people save by combining their home and auto with state farm to help life go right. We need a big tree. Something for everyone to gather around. Else im thinking . Lights some help. Were gonna get it just right. What do you think bullseye . [ bark ] ok, lets do this hey hows this look . Hmm . Whoa what do ya think . Its like you. Its like you read my mind . . Time now for the big board. Our team of insiders standing by live for more of todays top company appeared to exploit the election promoting this 10,000 bracelet she wore on 60 minutes. You see it right there. Matt dowd back with more. Ivankas company forced to pull back that promotion pretty quickly. Yeah and she absolutely had to do that. I think that, listen, donald trump and ivanka and her whole family has always dealt with their brand and how they can utilize it in a way that enhance what is theyre doing but her like her father is going transitioning from private life to a public life and theyll have to change the way they do business. Now, but this isnt the first time youve seen Family Business mixed with the presidency so what is another past example of this . Youre right, michael. Roger clinton, president clintons brother put out an album which apropos called nothing good comes easy in the midst of while he was president of the United States and jimmy billy beer in the midst of it. Always get the candidate and the Office Holder in trouble and most of the time they have to shut it down quickly. This is something very different coming up. Youve seen his kids on the Transition Team and soninlaw playing a prominent role in the transition and the plan going forward, they say, is for the kids to keep the business, to keep on running the business even though donald trump is in the white house. George, i think this whole thing is fraught with peril for donald trump and as of the United States hell put it in a blind trust but its problematic to have your kids requested by lowlevel staffers to get briefings puts it in a serious situation of who knows what and how they are using it. Its not a blind trust if the kids are running it. No, its not a blind trust if the kids are running it and serving on the Transition Team in the governmental positions. It is a problem. Okay, matt dowd, thanks very much. Something well keep her eye on. Thanksgiving, all that travel, its all just days away only bring one personal item on board when you go to visit grandma. Well, thats what one thats what United Airlines to do starting next year and david kerley is here joining us, david, united made a big announcement yesterday. Im just curious, what are they trying to do and what does it mean for someone traveling on a budget . To compete. Its all about competition with the lowcost carrier, michael. It is a question of what you dont get. Its called basic just that personal item which has to go underneath your seat you dont get any bin space, you also dont get to select a seat until the day of the flight. Can you say middle seat . Thats whats going to be available then and youll be the last group to board. United says this and some other changes theyre making they think they can increase revenues by 5 billion by 2020. Wall street liked that a lot yesterday. The question is what will the passengers think . Is the low ever price enough incentive to take these low cost fare person will get what they want and when they get on the plane theyll get the same service, the same drinks and everything else. They will be probably in the middle seat but, george, this is really all about segmentation and price point. Youll have these folks at basic economy and your regular economy then you got economy plus if you want more legroom and business and first class up above. Just cutting up the pie trying to get more revenue. Auctioning off every seat on the plane. Getting more bare bones. Pretty soon youll have to bring id like 7a, please. Thank you, guys.
