But also so worth Donald Trumps interview with the Washington Post last night where he refused to again acknowledge that president obama was born in the u. S. His son and adviser donald trump jr. Standing by. Well talk to him in a moment. The latest first from tom llamas on the trail in washington, d. C. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, good morning to yo the republican nominee has changed his mind on where president obama was born. Donald trump was the biggest and loudest voice in the Birther Movement but now with less than two months to go before the election trump seems to be waffling on an issue he spent so much time, money and energy on. Overnight, the Trump Campaign announcing the candidate is no longer a birther sending out this statement announcing having successfully obtained president believes that president obama was born in the United States. The statement attributed to a campaign spokesperson, not trump himself. The apatient reversal coming after the Washington Post posted a new story and interview of trump himself refusing to say whether he believes the president was born in the u. S. Trump quoted as saying, ill answer that question at the right time. I just dont want to answer it yet. Critics of trum racism because president obama is black. Hillary clinton seized on the new Washington Post story. He still wouldnt say hawaii. He still wouldnt say america. This man wants to be our next president . Reporter and trumps son don jr. Also being accused of being insensitive for his use of the phrase gas chamber in this every indiscrepancy, on every lie, on every dnc game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of the thing. I mean, if republicans were doing that theyd be warming up the gas cham brother right now. Reporter the Trump Campaign insisting he was not talking about the holocaust. Boy, the press likes to hit them. Right . Boy, the press likes to hit them they can take it. Reporter trump also showing he can take it. Can i mess your hair up. Reporter overnight trump letting jimmy fallon go where no man has gone before. Deep into his golden locks. Go ahead, with my hair spray. Reporter trump a good sport about the late night gag but quickly trying to reset that never seen him before and this morning apparently taking a position many thought he never would, now, we want to reiterate donald trump has yet to say it himself that he believes president obama was born in hawaii, this is his campaign, and were reminded of a tweet he sent out back in may. Back then he said this, lets put it on the screen. He wrote, dont believe the biased and phony media quoting people who work for my campaign. The only quote that matters is a quote from me. George, well talk to Donald Trumps son, donald trump jr. Youre one of your fathers closest advisers. Why cant he and wont he say that president obama is born in the u. S. I think he said it last night. The campaign spokesperson, i was with them, what he doesnt want to do he doesnt want to get off message and create another story but wants to talk about jobs. Refusing to acknowledge that president obama was born in the United States. He wants to talk about jobs revolutionary plan for women and working motiing mothers these d. This is the presidency of the United States and want to talk about the issues and putting americans back to work. Hes the only person who can put this to rest. In the past his campaign has said he believes that your father has not said himself, yes, president obama was born in the United States. I was wrong to question it. That is coming from him because i was involved in those conversations. Hes going to put the head of his campaign sp putting it out from the campaign. What he said in the past, hey, dont believe what you read when you read a source close to the campaign, dent believe what those people say. Wait a second. Last week Kellyanne Conway put out a statement saying, oh, donald trump believes that the president was born in the United States, yet when donald trump has the chance to do that yesterday himself he refuses to do it. This is coming from him and i was involved this those conversations so are we going to hear him say those words. I dont know. This should be the definitive end of it. We thought it was the end when got obama to release his birth certificate then but, again, we want to talk about jobs and not about gossip. Hes been talking about it for years but he can end it by simply saying, yes, the president was born in the United States. I was wrong to question it. I believe thats what he did last night. But thats not what he did. Well, well have to disagree on that. Thats coming from him and i know that because i was part of the conversation. He has the ability to send out a tweet maybe he will. Lets talk about you, as well. You saw those comments you made about the gas chamber d Antidefamation League they say we hope you understand the sensitivity and hurt of making holl cause jokes. We hope you retract. I didnt say anything about the holocaust. I was talking about media bias. Its essentially capital punishment. Donald trump pjr. Said the same thing two weeks ago and used the term electric chair. It was poor choice of words but about the holocaust. I wouldnt do it. I think its disgusting. Its not my style, my sisters an orthodox jew. Half of my best men in my wedding and the bridesmaids in my wedding were jewish. I would never do that. What it shows, unfortunately, it almost proves the point, i Say Something, rather than the media saying, hey, don were you talking about the holocaust, oh, my god. This is the Antidefamation League its the bias i was talking about. If i Say Something rather than talking about great jobs plan they cant attack my father anymore. Theyve erin out of ammo so now they attack me and cosmo trying to attack my sister. I understand thats the game theyre playing but goes to show my point which im making about media bias. If youre a conservative you dont even get a fair shot. They dont give you the benefit of the doubt and really a shame. Thats why we wanted to have you come in answer the its why less than a third of americans even trust the media anymore. I mean those are from gallup polls, so, you know, i think perhaps this maybe me a disservice to say lets be honest about these and lets not jump to slander people over something that they would clearly never say, especially when they have a history of using a similar, you know, line part of the reason theyve come up, you said you didnt have the holocaust in mind. Part of the reason is youve had other tweets from individuals. Had an Instagram Post last week. We want to put it up that included pepe the frog a wellknown symbol of the White Supremacist Movement and others taken off because of their racist statements and questioned whether the government was behind 9 11. Thats why the questions come up. If im glib thats the case. I never even heard of pepe the frog. I bet you 90 of your viewers have never heard of him. Wig. Its getting ridiculous but, again, that proves my point which is that anything that they can possibly latch on to, they cant even attack my father anymore. Hes coming up with incredible policy both economic, very aggressive policy in terms of certainly for a republican coming out plan for working mother, all of these things. They cant attack those things. They dont have answers for those things so what they do, they have to attack me. Im fine if they go after me. It shows they have nothing against the issues that matter to americans. The other executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, you saw that newsweek cover this week. We want to put that up there right now and the article suggests that the conflicts raised by the Trump Organization with so many different businesses in so many Different Countries demand that mr. Trump sever all ties with the business during this campaign and if he becomes president. Will he . If he becomes president he will certainly do that. Aides said he would put them in a blind trust and have nothing to do with it. Putting americans back to work and the business hes created is incredible but he doesnt care. Its small potatoes relative to what he can do its not a blind trust if you and were not going to be involved in government. Its not a blind trust. Youre running the company and he is president. So any foreign hes not making any decisions as it relates to the company. This is this would be Standard Operating Procedure for any president that has had businesses wth anything to do with it. George and george h. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and bill clinton and mitt romney, the republican candidate all put their interests in a blind trust during the campaign. Your father hasnt done that. He will certainly do it if he becomes president. A blind trust is not a blind trust if its being run by his children. It is because hell have nothing to do with it, george. He said that. Heant whats nothing to do with it. He wants to get the country on the right track. There will be a wall between about it. Its a big company but small potatoes hes still going to know what the businesses are. No, he wont. We will not how will he not know that. It doesnt matter. Trust me, as you know, its a very full time job. He doesnt need to worry about the business. The business is in good hands. He trusts us with that, the 100 . Donald trump jr. , thanks for coming in. Thanks for not messing up my hair. Lets as we saw Hillary Clinton back on the campaign trail for the First Time Since her health scare and Abcs Cecilia Vega was there as she made that return and cecilia joins us now from washington, d.

Reporter but Hillary Clinton comes back to a race thats tighter than ever. National polls show her lead shrinking and she is now in a tight battle with trump in must and virginia. I wonder if you did any soul searching about these new poll numbers. Anything you should be doing differently in your campaign . Cecilia, ive always said that this was going to be a tight race. Im going to keep doing everything i can to deliver my message about what is at take in this election. Reporter an election she says she wants to be less about fighting and more about issues and then she went on to slam her opponent. Every time we think hes hit rock bottom, he sinks even lower. Reporter well, clintons aides say thats the strategy, a focus less on donald trump and more on a positive vision for the country but with that debate just ten days away and with polls tightening we will see how long that lasts, george.

Reporter though grate admitted involvement in the death of a third person he has not yet been charged in that case expected in court today. He hasnt entered a plea yet but if convicted, he faces up to life in prison. Thank you for the latest. Joins us now from atlanta, nancy hln. We just heard about his long criminal history spanning two decades. And just this past june he reportedly told police he had killed a woman. How was this guy on the streets . You know, its amazing to me when you look at his history, there is i. D. Theft, drug paraphernalia, kidnapping, domestic relations how he kept getting out, a lot of the charged with dom rel, domestic relation offenses within the home and those are treated much more lightly than stranger on stranger and i believe thats because sometimes the system blames the woman who is the victim and one of those cases, two women, one holding a baby, were held with a butcher knife, but he walked right out. I think right now what they need to focus on been. He has been i mapped it out in marion, 45 miles away to mansfield, 13 miles away to ashland. Just think about this guy coming in and out of ladies room in a holiday inn as a Maintenance Man. There are reports another body has been found down a ravine. Everywhere hes been has to be traced. Another thing, a lot of these victims families say police did not take the missing person again, saying, oh, she just left. Shes off with a boyfriend. No, shes dead. And there are going to be other victims and it could have been stopped. And so far we know that grate has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of kidnapping, of course, there is that third body he led police to so you certainly expect more charges in this case. Yes, i do and also another m. O. Of his, he burns the so police need to be looking at abandoned structures that he could be using and arsons, all in those areas. There are going to be other bodies. Unfortunately, the story looks like it is far from over. Nancy grace, thank you so much for your time this morning. Thank you.

Our team of insiders standing by live to weigh in on todays top stories here with darren rovell. We start out with a report about o. J. Simpsons life beh the l. A. Times is revealing what its like inside lovelock correctional center. Lets talk to areva martin about that. They have been able to dig up some real detail here. Yeah, george, what were learning about o. J. Simpsons time in prison is that in some ways its pretty mundane. He gets up in the morning, he has breakfast and hes off to a job. He works in the prisons gymnasium where hes wiping gym after his job, hes back in his cell spending lots of time from what were learning reading and trying to get ready for his parole hearing. But you have to juxtapose that mundane existence with his celebrity status. Apparently he is still getting lots of fan mail and hes serving as a commissioner over a prison Baseball League so you have this guy whos doing some pretty mundane things but leveraging that celebrity status. Commissioner of the Baseball League. Thats not hearing. Any idea of when he could be walking the streets again and what hell face in the general public . So, what we know, amy, in october of next year he goes before the parole board again, were learning that he has a pretty good prison record. Hes stayed away from conflicts and he will be able to present that to the parole board. However, if he is successful, he has a huge financial issue that he will face once hes released civil judgment that was obtained by the Goldman Family in their civil lawsuit against him. We know that the goldmans are really intent on collecting on that judgment. So once out of prison, still Financial Burdens and reintegrating himself into the community. All right, areva, thanks so much. Now to americas famous crime family, the gottis back in the spotlight. Federal agents raiding the long island mansion of victoria gotti, daughter of john gotti. Form former nypd detective nick casale joins us. Is the raid connected to what . The irs agents are looking, my sources tell me, for Business Records and evidence that will support their case. And theyre getting this from good sources on the inside. Carmine did nine years in prison, victorias former whats happened is that his former auto body shop in queens was raided along with victorias house in long island. But he did nine years in prison in cleveland. He went out there the only place that would take him and now running some operations there. And theyre accusing him also of pouring sand into body parts of cars to sell to the junk is the gotti family now still a force in the new york mob . No, not at all, george and it really look, they came into power on the gun when john gotti took out Pauly Castellano but among law enforcement, they always knew that they werent royalty to the mob. In fact, they used to call them the howard beach hillbillies. Just picture if veto corleone ever sat down at the table and discount and pour sand into auto parts that were going to sell to the junk yard. I mean, this is far from racketeering. Its twobit gangstering. Even when it comes to junior, he wasted all that shoe leather trying to sell his fathers story and John Travolta will be playing john gotti and, you know what, insiders tell me that they made John Travolta an offer he financial terms go. We move on to twitters move that could change the way we watch sports. Overnight they debuted their nfl live stream that featured the jets taking on the bills. Thursday night games and lets talk to Espns Darren Rovell about this. We know that twitter has been struggling in some ways. Will the nfl save it. Well, listen, people were so surprised, i think, by the quality of the stream. That it looked like tv, there easy to get to. You didnt have to awe meant indicate which is type in your cable provider. And this is much needed at least for twitter in terms of positivity because theyre being compared to facebook and snapchat. Do they have enough monthly active users. Wall street has been killing them. This establishes them more as a Media Company than being social and, you know, this is good for them. One thing they paid 10 million for this for ten games. The real market value for this is around 150 got a real deal here. If this turns out to be great, kind of a devils thing here because theyre now going to probably be paying real market value. Several networks obviously air nfl games including espn and forbes called this is the biggest change agent to sports viewing. How do you think this will impact how we watch sports . I think its going listen, i work for espn. Theres watch espn, theres hours and hours of digital live just talked about, that word awe meant indication when people type in their cable subscriber. So annoying. Its one step. Its one step. My cable password. I give up. I dont even know it. Do you know yours. Nope. Im calling my husband, do you know our password if that one step.

Welcome back to gma. 18yearold daughter of the king of pop, Michael Jackson making headlines this morning with an Emotional Message about cyberbullying sending a plea to her millions of followers on social media. Im just tired of it and just really, really tired. Reporter its Paris Jackson broken down raw and emotional. I dont understand how there can be so much hatred in the i dont get why im such an easy target. I try to be nice to everybody that i meet. So im sorry if theres something that im doing that you guys dont like. Maybe im too public. I dont know. Reporter while unclear what ignited this tearful plea, the message is clear. I mean were human beings, man. We got hearts and brains and feelings. Its exhausting. Reporter the 18yearold daughter of the late king of pop. . Leave me alone . Reporter taking a page from her dad asking the haters to leave her alone. Ive tried a lot of thing, ignoring it, but its hard. It is when theres so much of it. Reporter one of the most takeaways to are Paris Jackson and all of us is that you cannot magically solve these problems. There are horrible people out there who for whatever reason people who are famous. Reporter Rosalind Weissman says the most important takeaway is taking control. What i think shes done is really try her best to be able to manage the situation as best as she can and so, yeah, its not going to be perfect. But at the same time, at the end of the day youve got to be proud of how you handled it and i think thats what she can be. Reporter jackson since deleted the instagram videos posting this photo looks like im the villain now. Didnt know defen let a bring in former editor of People Magazine larry hackett. It is painful to watch those and i think a lot of us have felt similarly when we read things online. She is the daughter of one of the most famous entertainers in history. Is it ream for her to be able to expect to keep her privacy . Its not. And we look upon her as being the daughter of one of the most fame us people in history. She looks like an 18yearold trying to make friends, im not sure that reasonableness enters age, its like giving children almost nuclear weapons, these things are so powerful. When youre as famous as her, following of 800,000 people its mind boggling. She doesnt think of that but the people she knows and the things she reads so that notion of whats reasonable to you and i is not the same to her. It makes sense. We know she did take a twoyear break from social media because of similar events and a lot of people saying why doesnt she get off socl all her accounts if its that upseting. When you and i were teenagers, if your parents said get off the phone, would you be upset. They took it out of my room . Thats the what i it is. The idea to say dont do this is not part of what they do. Even a temporary thing. Its part of a function of how they communicate with one another. So that to me is not a reasonable thing to do. You followed the Jackson Family for years now. Who does paris have in her life to help her through these difficult times . We know shes had problems before. Remember, this is a young woman when she went out in public had a veil across her face. Upbringing is unusual. Her grandmother katherine is her guardian but shes 86 years old so shes trying to find her way as lots of 18yearolds do and doing it in this unbelievably blinding glare of whats going on so i think in many ways shes trying to find her own way. Maybe her friends on social theres other celebrities who has gone through it. Demi lovato, justin bieber. Its brutal. Leslie jones in ghostbusters and saturday night live. I a terrible thing. Look at the majority of your followers. Most do not go online to abuse people. Theres always that fringe and they get overweighted. The people who are your friends and care about you and want to follow you and try to block out the other ones. It is one of the prices of fame. Larry hackett, thanks so much.

This exclusive interview. Look, this is the emergency room. Reporter for 12 years ellen pompeos embodied the heart and soul of greys anatomy. But for many hollywood starlets growing older in the spotlight isnt easy. You dont want to cover up every flaw or every wrinkle that comes your way. Well, i think as an actor flaws are a necessity. Nobody is perfect. And im not and im okay with that. Theres something glorious the wisdom that you get. Really all you have in your youth is your looks. So when the looks fade what are you left with. Hopefully a fantastic character and integrity and a soul and compassion. Reporter as one of the highest paid tv actresses pompeo says early on she decided to stay at greys as a conscious choice in part because there are so few opportunities for mature women in hollywood. I have to go out into the and deal with, you know, am i good enough, am i pretty enough. Am i smart enough. Am i young enough. Am i young enough. Your ego would drive you to say this isnt cool and i need to go be a movie star or Something Else but your ego is really your biggest enemy. Reporter like her car meredith grey pompeos life has evolved, falling in love and becoming a mom. But tv is not reality. A lot of scenes we dont see my kids.

And how does it inform your parenting . You know, im a little overprotective and a little overbearing. Is a little too much. Reporter one thing that stayed constant. Viewers obsession with Meredith Greys epic love life with mcdreamy. So pick me. Choose me. Love me. Reporter but pompeo says its her favorite scene partner she misses most. Im your person. Reporter sandra oh was a massive part of this show and i was devastated to lose her. I didnt think the show would survive after losing her and it did. Have you cried yet. In to see what is meredith going to do without her person. So i think that as hard as change is, i think its necessary. Reporter for Good Morning America, juju chang, abc news, los angeles.
