Clinton supporters accused him of suggesting violence against the candidate. As she faces new fallout over her emails. Abcs tom llamas is on the trail with trump in faye good morning, tom. Reporter george, a busy morning on the trail. Trump says that Hillary Clinton and the press are taking his comments out of context. This as the Clinton Campaign is having to explain what looks to be a blurry line between some at the Clinton Foundation and state department under Hillary Clintons leadership. Overnight, donald trump forced to explain what he meant when he said this about Hillary Clinton hillary wants to abolish, amendment, by the way, and if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, i dont know. Clinton supporters say trump was encouraging violence. Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeting, donald trump makes Death Threats because hes a pathetic coward who cant handle the fact that hes losing to a girl. But the Trump Campaign says trump was Second Amendment supporters, not about harming clinton. The people mobilize and vote, they can stop hillary from having this impact on the court. But thats not how the media is spinning it. Whats your reaction to it. Nobody in that room thought anything other than what you just said. This is a political movement. Reporter but someone in that room did have a strong reaction. Look at that trump supporter just behind him as trump made the comment. The Clinton Campaign not finding what trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way. The campaign also dealing with their own problems. Trying to explain how seddique mateen, the father of the orlando shooting omar mateen ended up behind clinton in her ramally in Central Florida where she was speaking about the tragedy at the pulse nightclub. Of hatred and violence break the spirit, break the soul of anyplace in america. Reporter mateen telling West Palm Beach station wptv he was invited. Its a democratic party. So everybody can join. Reporter clinton aides will only say this individual wasnt invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event. And now the Clinton Campaign dealing with another email what appears to be a Clinton Foundation staffer asking for favors from the state department when clinton was secretary recommending they hire someone. The Trump Campaign citing this as more evidence clinton ran a, quote, corrupt office. The Clinton Campaign saying neither of these involve the secretary or relate to the foundations work. Now, House Speaker paul ryan who won his primary race yesterday in wisniewski was asked about he says he didnt hear the exact comments but was aware of it and says it sounded like a joke gone bad. I hope he clears it up very quickly. George. Okay, tom, thanks. One of Donald Trumps top supporters. Rudy giuliani. Hi. Thanks, george. You heard the speaker saying this is a joke gone bad. Apologize. Well, first of all, i was there and id like people at home to kind of get an idea what happened in the president ial campaign. Vote against her. He never used he was talking about after the election. He was talking about the election in general. He wasnt talking about after the election. You know how speeches go. He was talking about how they have the power to keep her out of office. Thats what he was talking about. That is what jem but specifically he was talking about he cant do anything after the election except the Second Amendment people. We know donald trump is not particularly indirect. If donald trump was going to Say Something like that he would Say Something like that. I was there. Realize that the first time that any of us had any idea that that is way it was interpreted is when the clinton spin machine interpreted it that way, spun it out to a press that is willing to hit him every day, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. But in realtime you had people like Michael Hayden raising the same question. It wasnt in realtime. The clinton spin machine spun it out in eight minute, bam, like that. That is not what he intended. Simple, that he should vote against her. With a crowd like that if thats what they thought he meant we did see that one guy which brings me to the guy behind Hillary Clinton who is the father of a person who killed 49 people who wounded 53 people, ends up being invited to sit in a prime position behind Hillary Clinton and you got to ask yourself, number one, who invited him . We still dont know and, number two, what drew him him and disavowed why is he such a big supporter holding up a sign about how great a president she would be. He supports the taliban. He is antiamerican who himself has supported terrorist organizations who has said that god is going to punish homosexuals. He is a homophobe of the worst kind and he is a very, very radical islamic extremist. Clinton . People should ask that question. What brings him to Hillary Clinton . I believe its her soft stance on islamic extremist terrorism, which he and which she and the president have had since the president has been in office. He shows up at her rally. She disavows that supporters. You have 50 National Security officials in the Republican Administration say they cannot support donald trump because he lacks selfcontrol. Would be the most reckless president in American History including people you supported michael chertoff, tom ridge, former Homeland Security secretary, these are not democrats. These are not clinton supporters. These people are worried about donald trump. Well, first of all, there are some of them that i respect a lot and theyre good friends of mine and will remain good friends of mine but i have a disagreement with them. They dont know donald trump the way i do. Ive known him for 28 years. I know he is a responsible man, successful man who achieved a great deal and can be trusted careless with the use of National Security information, extremely careless is like, oh, gosh, the kindest way you could say it. Email after email is spilling out one after another after another and we still have 30,000 that she destroyed. Now, and what i suspected is true. What i suspected is that she destroyed a lot of those emails because it shows a connection between Hillary Clinton as secretary of state and the money being raised for the doesnt donald trump have to get more careful with his words if you want to get that message out. No, you have to stop misinterpreting and stop putting words in his mouth that he didnt say, that he didnt mean. I drove from that venue to the plane, got on the plane, i was with him all throughout. He had no idea that anybody would interpret his words that way, that is not the way he meant it. It was a big surprise. My first reaction when i heard the call was, oh, this will go away in a minute. That he would Say Something like that, and it was so obvious to all of us what he meant. Mr. Mayor, thanks for joining us this morning. A woman accidentally killed during a Police Safety exercise in florida. It happened when an officers gun fired an unexpected live round. An investigation is under way and phillip mena has the latest for us from punta gorda, florida. Good morning, phillip. Reporter lara, good morning.

Reporter that caller complaining of, quote, black males outside of his home. It all started with that man calling 911 to say he had a weapon and was going to secure his neighborhood and minutes later a young man lay in the street dying. This morning, newly released 911 calls placed just moments before a fatal shooting. We got a bunch of hoodlums out here racing. I am locked and loaded. Reporter Officials Saying who shot and killed 20yearold cornyn Rodney Thomas leaving a party. I fired a warning shot and, uh, we got somebody that got hit.

We got dan abrams here for the first story and its all about steven avery. Some dramatic new allegations about this man convicted of murder at the center of the true crime Series Making a murderer speaking out to in touch magazine as he prepares for an appeal arguing the lawyers who came to his aid may be you know, they were looking out for the state and just like most lawyers do they look out for the state instead of for their client. You know if they would do more investigating on the case, they would find all of this stuff. Everything is there. They did their job. I wouldnt be here. Now, dan, that is grounds for an appeal if he can prove it. Except its not true. He actually had really good representation. I think hes been following or about adnan ziad, the serial defendant who had trouble with his lawyers. Steven avery had strong lawyers who represented him vigorously and they couldnt win the case. But for him to blame them now i think is a mistake and his lawyers are sort of issuing a statement to us sort of sadly saying that they think hes mistaken but they can understand considering that hes been falsely imprisoned. In touch, he said once the truth comes out i think theyll regret what they all said about me. Hes 1,000 confident hell be released so how likely i dont think i need to ask this, its probably not happening. Not likely. His new lawyer is a terrific lawyer named Kathleen Zellner and hinting she has new evidence thats going to release him and it sounds like thats empowering and exciting steven its very unlikely steven avery will be released in connection with this case. All right, all right, thank you, dang. Switching gears now, well, actually first let me tell you the entire interview with steven avery is in in touch magazine on newsstands now and move on to this other case raising questions about restaurant responsibility. A waiter allegedly server a diner food that he already told him he was allergic to sends that diner into cardiac arrest. We have Rebecca Jarvis with us to talk about it. Rebecca, this is the first case of its kind in canada. What happened and what kind of charges could the waiter face. This is unbelievable, lara. Think about this, imagine this, you go into a restaurant for a nice meal. You tell your waiter not once but twice you have a lifethreatening allergy to seafood. Thats what happened that cording to this diner at le tapageur. He told bat he had a seafood allergy and when he ordered he told the waiter again but still seafood showed up on his plate. The problem is he didnt know it. He ate the food and went into cardiac arrest. Ended up in the hospital for five case and now looks like this waiter could face some criminal negligence charges. Thats exactly what theyre talking about in canada right now. The authorities are pushing for that. Heres what the chef and owner said, quote, nobody wants to make somebody feel uncomfortable in their measures to protect ourselves so what kind of measures will they have to make . The restaurant industry, youre already seeing this. You sit down at a restaurant nowadays. A lot of the time you will be asked right off the bat what kind of allergies. What are the Food Allergies of everyone at this table and you see it on packaging. When you open up a box of chips, in the back a lot of times this says this was prepared in a facility that includes nuts. A lot of businesses are worried if it goes to trial will be a bigger concern for businesses going forward. I think every restaurant in new york asks the question. He was arrested . Still, you can understand why the restaurant might get sued, et cetera. But you would hope that if he was arrested for this, that the authorities believe there was some sort of intentional conduct. Meaning i would think that the authorities believe that he did it on purpose in some way, shape or form. Just criminal negligence meaning that he effectively made a didnt listen, et cetera, he gets arrested for that and charged. That seems like a real reach. Just real quickly, one of your other major jobs, you own restaurants. How do you protect yourself. You have to be vigilant. Anyone thats been there before, you have notes as to what theyre allergic to in your system so you remember it. But if they havent been there before you have to ask. Is part of your waiters training you must ask do you presenting the menu you. Want to ask because, remember, youre talking about anything that could touch the food. Here you may have served him something he was specifically allergic to but also have concerns about other items around the food that can be allergy issues, as well. All right, dan, thanks very much. On now to tim tebow. Hes trying again not on the football field but baseball field looking to play in the major league, of course, hes been here many times on gma, so what is this, eduardo . Does he have a real shot . Its as big of a shot as being in the same Swimming Pool as Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky. Think about this and im not just talking about being in the semifinal, im talking about being in the finals against those guy, not in the medal stand. This is a very difficult task. Everybody thinks major league, but you then have to go all the way to the minor leagues, instructional league, even winter baseball. Has to do, as a matter of fact i called one of the teams in puerto rico and they were excited. They said bring him on. Well take him and give him a tryout. They even extended a letter to him. How interested a lot of teams are with tim tebow. You see the contract signed by frankie higgenbotham their general manager. Why not take a trip to paradise. In the meantime, its so difficult to do to play against the elite. Think about what malcolm said in outliers. 10,000 reps, not 10,000 swings in a cage but game time, fly ball, ground ball, a lot of stuff. I want to point out way back when, well, not that far back, bo jackson, deion sanders, they managed to cross over and do both at the same time. Are we living in a different wod were living in a different world but at the same time, you said the key word. They were doing it at the same time. They were they both played one played at florida state, one played at auburn. They never stopped playing. Tim tebow, 1 years removed. I could tell you i could still shoot and do layups right now. Were talking about a hamstring being pulled. We will be watching, thanks to you all very much. Coming up in just two minute, Katie Ledecky smashing phelps. Youre that guy who switched to sprint. Sprints Network Reliability is now within 1 of verizon. And sprint saves you 50 on most National Carrier rates. Can you hear that . Dont let a 1 difference cost you twice as much. Switch to sprint today. She spent summer bingewatching. Soon, shell be bingestudying. Get back to great. This week sharpie singles now twentyfive cents. Hool. Gear up for great. Although just 4 foot 8, simone biles is not to be underestimated. Despite her size, simones packed with power. Refined, concentrated power. Thats why she trusts tide pods. . Go . We are back with all the olympics excitements in rio. One of these superstars everyone is watching, swimmer Katie Ledecky smashing her own world records. Abcs matt gutman has more from rainy rio. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, amy. Now to say that Katie Ledecky might be the greatest athlete but we broke down the science and a little bit of math and figured out her margins of victory are simply off the charts. She has olympic gold. Reporter Katie Ledeckys performance is measured in the records she shatters. That is what you call racing. Reporter at 511 shes only just average standing next to her swimming sisters but theres nothing common about this human reporter just watch her stunning gold medal winning performance from sunday. Hitting the wall a full five seconds ahead of everyone else. Not a single competitor in sight. A lot of people say she swims like a man. She doesnt swim like a man. She swims like Katie Ledecky for crying out loud. Reporter the record she broke her own, the 19yearold regularly leaving competitors in the dust so just how big a deal is she . I would argue she is the worlds best athlete right now. Reporter regularly beating the that means if she was a formula 1 racer shed win by almost 3 minutes. If she were a cyclest in the Tour De France shed win the race by almost 40 minutes. The only thing comparable is what secretariat did in the belmont stakes. Reporter even leading fellow swimmers in awe. Michael phelps calls her a stud. Shes obviously in a league astonishing to teammates like medalists cody miller and ryan held.

First the morning rundown from paula. We begin with a scathing new report from the Justice Department this morning about racial bias in the baltimore Police Department. The investigation began after the death of freddie gray sparked riots across the city. Now, this particular report found that officers have routinely violated the civil rights of africanamericans with what investigators call a pattern of unlawful stops and excessive force. The report concludes that the relationship between police and community is and a Police Department in florida is under scrutiny after a 73yearold volunteer was accide accidentally shot and killed during a demonstration at a Citizen Police class in punta gorda. The officer fired a live round instead of a blank. He has now been placed on leave. In politics, donald trump is denying claims that hes inciting violence against Hillary Clinton and he is blaming the backlash on the media and trump told supporters in North Carolina that clinton of the Second Amendment may be able to stop her. Critics say that this was a veiled suggestion for people to harm clinton but trump is saying he was referring to the political power of Second Amendment supporters. And Hillary Clinton is disavowing support from the father of the orlando nightclub shooter after he showed up at one of her rallies in florida. Seddique mateen was on the stage right behind clinton as she spoke about the victims of that massacre. The Campaign Says the rally was not invite him. And the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at a maryland hospital has been shut down because of a concern about a potentially deadly bacteria. Hospital Officials Say three babies have tested positive for the pseudomonas bacteria and two other infants recently died but Officials Say they have not found a link between those deaths and the bacteria which was traced to a water pipe at fighters to firefighters after they spotted smoke coming interest this home. A woman, she was trapped inside. Look at this unable to escape the flames and they called for help while trying unsuccessfully to kick down the door and moments later a firefighter ran in with a saw and cut through the bars on that window, then they tossed the woman a chair as she climbed out finally escaping into the officers arms with only minor injuries. Heroes right there. A lot of excitement from rio so now for the latest olympics desk. The americans making history, amy. What an exciting night. Oh, it was incredible, paula and, of course, one of the big stories here Michael Phelps winning two more gold medals in the 200meter butterfly and 4x200 free relay and has a which she considered was her weakest and the u. S. Gymnastics team calling themselves the final five withth consecutive major title beating russia by more than eight points which is a record and the mens team competes today and even though the u. S. Womens soccer team tied colombia, still enough to advance to the next round. Looking at the medal count the americans remain on top with 26 medals including nine gold, china is in second place with Michael Phelps for a moment because just to give you some perspective. How about this he has won more gold medals than 129 countries have in the entire history of the olympic games. Only 39 nations have won more gold than Michael Phelps has individually. How about that, guys . Unbelievable. Okay, amy, thanks very much. Now to lets get to jesse and pop news. Hump day edition of pop news and starting off, dwayne costars posting a lengthy caption to instagram on tuesday praising the hard working crew as well and his amazing female costar, but the wrestler turned action star also said his male colleagues are, quote, a different story saying some conduct themselves as standup as True Professionals while others dont. We wont try to guess who he has a beef with but johnson says fans will see what hes theaters and says if you think hes not acting looks like his blood is legit boiling, youre right. Theres a clue. Thats a clue. Theres a scene where hes really angry at someone hes legitimately mad at them. Obviously hoping this is just promotion of the movie. I hope hes just joking.

Welcome back to gma and well take you to rio now with the women theyre calling right there, simone biles, the greatest gymnast ever dominating the olympics leading team usa to a second straight gold medal and amy is there for all of the action in rio. Hey, amy. Oh, i was. George. The final five winning goal and worldwide praise as simone biles showed unbelievable power. Athleticism and poise and this morning the superstar is sharing how she beats the incredible pressure and her favorite way to celebrate. That is an olympic gold medal winning moment. Reporter this morning, the u. S. Womens Gymnastics Team is waking up with gold. With simone biles dominating the womens Team Competition as the only u. S. All four events for the final five. Exhibiting both explosive power and rock solid confidence along with her obvious sense of joy. I always get a little bit nervous once i get up there but i know if i just trust in myself that itll be a good set. I know what ive accomplished. Theres still its just the beginning, but im very excited for it all. Reporter as she tumbles her way into history now even featured in this tide pod evolution of power video. Because the evolution of gymnastics has changed so much and im just really proud. Reporter so what are her gold medal secrets to success . First enjoy the ride. You can still be very good at what you do and have fun. You dont have to be serious all the time to do a good job. Reporter never give up. Have like a mistake try to forget about it because if you carry that with you for the rest of your team, then the rest of your team might not go as planned so you just kind of shake it off continue your team. Always have each others back in and out of competition. We support each other the most because we were the only ones that knows what it feels like to go through what we do and were like sisters. Reporter and after you give your all treat yourself. It doesnt matter if i dont went a gold after every meet i have pizza, pepperoni pizza. A girl after my own heart started. All eyes on her to see if she can become the first female gymnast to win five golds at a single olympics. Her competition thursday but later today its the mens turn to show what they have in the mens allaround finals, george. Another big day coming up here. Dominique dawes here. Welcome back. Part of the magnificent seven, 1996 now you have the final five in simone biles so i said it at the beginning. Is she the best ever. She is the most dominant gymnast female but male and female. The tricks shes do you never think a girl would be doing a full in and full out and double layout after with a jump after called the biles. She is just spectacular and i think this new scoring system has helped her become so dominant and i expect her to win the all around as well. All of them and youre starring with her in this new video. Tell us about it. So exciting. Im turning 40. To have the opportunity to work like tide pods great theyre focusing on the evolution of power and gymnastics starting with Nadia Comaneci and 1996 and simone biles and celebrating how these amazing athletes have accomplished such great feats. And striking what they wear. These leotards tell us about the process. I love it. They have wonderful sponsors, gk as with under armour and these games they took a more patriotic theme. In the past hot pink and its beautiful. I do think they went crazy with the bedazzling machine and someday well see this in a museum. One of mine is in the smithsonian and theyll probably take it out and replace it with one of simones. Maybe you can take your kids. My little daughter woke up in the middle of simone biles floor routine to watch it and she went right back to sleep so it was just hilarious. Wanted to be reassured. Still just 19 years old watching her and listening to her thinking she has such maturity. Yeah, and she should because many gymnasts are there when she was 15 and 16. My first was 15. She has a little bit of an edge over most competitors. Laurie hernandez is only 16 so her maturity shows but more importantly shes constantly smiling having a great time. She looks very relaxed but if you were that dominant you might be a little more relaxed as well. Last night the girls nearly eight points. Eight points. Which is a killer. They killed it. They could have taken one, two and three if we had three different teams. The americans are so dominant these days and it has to do with Martha Karolyis leadership and her intimidating the girls and i love this name final five which is all about martha karolyi. One thing, at the end, simone always likes to celebrate with her pepperoni pizza, so, well celebrate too. Mckayla. Well celebrate. Yummy. Lahr what was already trying it out. Good morning. Yes.
