the campaign. she could help the defense by testifying she wasn't aware of the huge sums of money involved. but hunter's testimony could also backfire. she can be a loose cannon as was evident in her 2008 interview with oprah winfrey. >> the power of the love does override all the issues that come up and all the judgments. this is wrong. what you are doing is wrong. >> the power of the love did that? >> yes. >> reporter: jurors aren't going to like her much. i think it just says the danger and the risk of focusing this case in the absolute wrong direction. >> reporter: one of edwards' top campaign strategists, harrison hickman, shed new light on just how anguished elizabeth edward was about the national enquirer story about her husband's aff r affair. elizabeth kept saying, i don't want to be humil mated. i don't want my kids to have to deal with this. knowing that, will jurors really be sympathetic to hunter? soon they'll likely hear from a more sympathetic witness, edwards' daughter cate. she's been at her father's side nearly every day of this trial and is expected to take the stand. still unclear whether the defendant himself will take the stand. that decision expected

in the house. and my oldest son noticed her window was wide open and the screen was laying in the backyard. >> reporter: police won't say what prompted them to get child protective services on the case. police say they still don't have a suspect and that the decision to separate the father from his family does not mean he is a suspect. but it's raising troubling questions. >> even looking at it just through the access to children prism, this means they think this guy is a real problem for his children. >> reporter: so far, police say they've received more than 1,000 tips and leads. paul

everybody better remember my name. >> early, late, whatever it is on this shift. i can't figure it out. we're going to start with the financial fiasco, and it is big. impacting wall street and your street. even the president has plenty to say about the jpmorgan chase and the way it operates. he spoke out about it in an exclusive interview airing later this morning on "the view." >> another big abc news exclusive there. check that out again. 11:00 a.m. eastern time today. the president sat down with the ladies. i'm sure he was grilled by barbara, joy and company. should be interesting. also this morning, smoking weed and getting pain relief. patients fighting a chronic nervous system disorder are finding important new benefits in pot. it could give medical marijuana some added clout. >> that's going to be interesting to see what that's all about. >> your cure and you're hungry. we should also mention that will sis back this morning with us. in case you hear a laugh in the background you know that familiar sound -- >> i'm excited to be here with willis. i've heard all about willis. >> the good and the bad. he's out on parole, looking good. >> i'm not going to be able to get through this. later this half hour, what makes the new movie chapter of the old snow white story so different? the cast tells us it's all about the action. >>an upgrade for snow white. the head of jpmorgan chase could face a tough crowd at the annual meeting in tampa. jamie dimon has now accepted blame for the $2 billion trading mistake. >> the error has cost the bank almost $20 billion in market value. huge loss for stockholders. our coverage begins with abc's scott goldberg. good morning, scott. >> reporter: morning, rob and diana. this could be some day for jpmorgan chase and its ceo jamie dimon. today is the bank's annual meeting in tampa. some shareholders want dimon's power limited. they won't be satisfied with just one high-profile resignation. the numbers are big enough to boggle most of our minds. $2 billion is how much money jpmorgan lost by making a risky trade. $14 million is about how much money ina drew made last year. she was the bank's chief investment officer, forced to resign because she headed up the unit responsible for that loss. and the man who accepted her resignation, he made $23 million last year. ceo jamie dimon. >> we're still going to earn a lot of money this quarter. it isn't like the company is jeopardized. >> reporter: the boss apologize forward the bad trade. he called it a terrible, egregious mistake. dimon can rest fairly comfortably knowing the bank is worth $2 trillion. >> $2 billion is a lot of money, but for jpmorgan, it's 0.1% of their assets. i mean, the bank is gigantic. it's huge. >> reporter: aaron task from yahoo! finance says the concern is big banks are now bigger than ever. and if wall street's biggest and reputedly best bank is making mistakes that look an awful lot like the ones that caused the 2008 meltdown, who else might be in big trouble? >> a week ago people thought they were rock solid. now a little crack in the fortress and people are wondering, are more cracks going to appear? >> reporter: another bailout would cost tackpayers. well, that number is too big too to fathom. reformers are making a new push in washington to close the loopholes that allow these risky trades. rob and diana? >> thank you, scott. and it is telling, too, what a very small portion of this company, the $2 billion. for us normal folks, that's a hard num goer comprehend. also how this plays out politically. could be bad for president obama and mitt romney. obama promised to change wall street when he inherited kind of the recession and mitt romney was taking anti-regulation stances and could regulation have prevented this kind of mistake. >> and all the repercussions happening overseas because of this. nuwe have this happening here and greece may be leaving the eurozone. what that means. it's affecting everyone. and yesterday we were talking about the asian markets doing well. today they were impacted by all of this. >> we're seeing the effect on the dow as well. on this negative slide and that continued yesterday. ripple effects all the way around. in president obama addressed the jpmorgan chase banking loss during his exclusive sit-down with the ladies on "the view" which airs later today. our coverage continues with barbara walters with a preview of that big interview. >> there were important questions. for example, jpmorgan chase. the bank is under fire for $2 billion trading loss. and there are calls for tighter regulations. so whoopi goldberg asked the president about that. >> i'm wondering, a, what did you think happened and, b, sir, what are you going to do about it? this has to be the last straw. >> well, look. first of all, jpmorgan is one of the best managed banks there is. jamie dimon, the head of it, is one of the smartest bankers we've got. and they still lost $2 billion and counting. precisely because they were making bets in these derivative markets. we don't know all the details yet. it's going to be investigated. but this is why we passed wall street reform. this is the best or one of the best managed banks. you could have a bank that isn't as strong, isn't as profitable, making those same bets and we might have had to step in. >> even though the president came out last week in favor of gay marriage, there are still many questions about whether or not he will fight to change a federal law that would allow gay couples benefits that heterosexual couples have like social security and being able to file joint tax returns. so i asked about that. you did make that historic decision to say that you are in favor of gay marriage. will you now fight for a federal bill? >> my justice department has said to the courts, we don't think the defense of marriage act is constitutional. this is something that historically had been determined at the state level. and you apart of my believing ultimately that civil unions weren't sufficient. >> of course, be sure to watch the rest of the exclusive interview later on this morning on "the view" at 11:00 a.m. eastern, 10:00 central. >> that's been the big news the last couple of days, this whole gay marriage issue. sounds like the president did stop short of wanting to legislatively at least go any further than he already has. two big accomplishments. the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" and telling his justice department not to enforce the defense of marriage act but it looks like that's where he is stopping in terms of anything legislative. meaning that he wanted his statement symbolic. in theory, i support it but that may be as far as he goes. so we'll see. >> that's right. moving on now. ron paul's long shot republican presidential campaign is slowly winding down due to lack of money. the 76-year-old texas congressman's coffers have dried up recently. paul says actively campaigning in the 11 states yet to hold primaries would have thrown the campaign into debt. paul says he does not want to do that but he will still show up at the gop convention this summer. shifting gears now, testimony from a key defense witness in the john edwards trial is going to be pretty severely limited. the testimony from a former federal election commissioner chairman could have raised doubt about whether edwards broke campaign finance laws. but the judge ruled that only a tiny portion can actually be heard by the jurors in the case. we've also learned the defense does plan to call edwards' oldest daughter cate to the stand. baseball trainer brian mcnamee returns to the stand today in a perjury trial against star pitcher roger clemens. yesterday he gave some pretty graphic testimony about helping clemens stake troids. mcnamee started injecting clemmons in 1998 when both played for the toronto blue jays. clemens is charged with lying to congress in 2008 when he testified he never used performance-enhancing drugs. the florida a&m marching band will not return to the field any time soon, six months after the hazing death of robert champion. it will remain on suspension for one more academic year. the university president says more time is needed to hire a new band director and adopt new rules aimed at stopping hazing. safety experts have new warnings for parents about products you might consider to be pretty harmless. over the past 25 -- 20 years, i should say, as many as 45,000 children needed emergency care because of accidents with bottles, sippy cups or pacifiers. most accidents involved children falling down while drinking from a bottle. so children are urged to sit while eating or drinking to avoid those trips to the emergency room. >> so is the danger the bottle or is the danger your kids not doing the right thing when -- >> a combo of both. the kid is sipping and falls and then there's a situation. so i don't have kids so this isn't a topic that i am -- >> not something you want to talk about. >> not something i'm well versed in. >> how about the weather? want to talk about the weather? here's tuesday's

to pick up her diploma, sam was right there. he got down on one knee and proposed. how excited she is. she said yes to the cheers of the crowd. the couple will settle in the washington area where sam already has a job in public relations. and i would like to say, that was a smart pr move on his part. already -- must be a good pr man. >> that is absolutely beautiful. >> nicely done, sam. in coming
