A sign this race is hotter than ever, take a listen to this. Bill clinton has been in Donald Trumps direct line of fire for a few days now. But finally, the former president is is speaking out for the very first time. Overnight,t, donald ump stirring up this crowd of thousands with a onetwo punch. Hillary, hillary, lets say hillary is president. Oy. Oh. Reporter and just a few miles away. Its kind of scary this y year. Reporter Hillary Clintons husband on his first Solo Campaign t trip thislection taking some nottosubtle jabs righght back. When there is discrimination against africanamericans or hispanics or muslims, just because of who they are, i dont like that. Reporter bill clinton not mentioning trump by name or his recent tactic dredging up those past scandals. This is a woman that has been and thats not a good situation for hillary. Reporter so i asked, donald trump says your past is fair game. Ive got to ask you, you keep coming up on the trail with him. Is it fair game . And after a long pause, finally an answer. The republicans have to decide who they want to nominate. Im trying to tell now the democrats and the country why i think hillary would be the best president. And i think theres always attempts to take the election ay from the people. Reporter trump taking his offensive to the airwaves s too. Hell stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that mexico will pay for. Reporter his First Campaign ad just released and already under fire. This image of a flood of immigrants racing toward what appears to be the u. S. Border in mexico. But it turns out this border, 5,000 miles away in morocco. Trump now on the defensive. That was just video footage. Were like a third world country like a dumping ground. So you can just take it any way u want. Reporter for her part, Hillary Clinton trying toto stay above the fray, with a new donald trump strategy in the new year. Ive adopted a nenew years resolution. [ applause ] im going to let him live in his alternative reality and im not going to respond. Okay, cecilia, that new years resolution fromillary clinton and you could feel bill clinton biting his tongue when you asked him that question. Yeah, he seemed to pause like seemed to be staying on meage yesterday, this might the bill clinton of the 2016 race. We talked yesterday about how he got in trouble in 2008 for going off message. This time around i think youre probably going to see a more subdued bill clinton, at least for the time being. The words that are being used this morning is that he very much knows his role this time around. That he is, in fact, the supporting actor, if she ithe star of this show. Now with matatthew dowd, our matthew, you think hillary should make another new years clinton that much. Clinton at home in the course of one, we all know hes popular. The problem is he rereinforces of the past. Even if you like that past, its part of the past. And voters always want the the other thing i think is this republican primary. It helps him because hillary clintois despised by republican voters. And its a bankshot through bill to get to hillary. Thats why i think in the end, in the short term, this helps donald trump. So hes attacking bill clinton. Meanwhile, you see all these other republican candidates in this final four weeks until the Iowa Caucuses really starting to attack each other. Yeah, were in the time of the thing w where it Musical Chairs but theres no teacher in the classroom to keep the rules. More chairs have been pulled out. Limited space so see who can stay in. We have green eggs and ham and fantasy foototball andimited chairs and people are trying to dance arn and get the last few the real grudge match, between ted cruz leading in iowa and marco rubio, another 44yearold cubanamerican senator. They seem to be fighting it out for that space right behind donald trump overall yeah, i mean, donald trump is still the dominant character in this race. But s somebody needs to be second or somebody needs to be third in the court of this race. And you is have two bndnew senators going at it, as you say, in the course of this. And i think its only going to get more and more heated as we get closer to iowa and as we leave iowa into New Hampshire and the other r states ang the way. This is going to be a very no question about that, thanks very much. Now to president obamas big push to keep guns out of the hands of cminals.

I think that will be the beginning of the end of the United States s of ameri, britain and the entire world. Reporter a sidebyside comparison of dhar and the new executioner is far from conclusive. His family says its not sure its him. Some reporters who interviewed dhar say it i is him. Anothers say it is not.

We move to making a murderer generating buzz and petitions calling for the convicted killers at the center of the story to be pardoned raising questions about whether evidence was planted. But the prosecutor in the case is fighting back, saying the producers left out key evidence. Well hear from him in a moment after this report from abcs linsey davis. Reporter the Netflix Series making a murderer has hundreds of thousands in an uproar after watching thetory of steve avery. Hell dad. Reporter who was freed after spending 18 years in prison for not long after avery is arrested for the murder of teresa halbach,h, a younghotographer whose charred remains were found on his property. He wanted us to help him get rid of theody. Reporter the Series Showcases riveting couourtroom testimony questioning the states evidence against avery and his then teenage nephew. Because i didnt really do it. Reporter the defense attorney suggests he was framed. Oure hearing the evidence of the conspiracy. Reporteter averynd his nephew were convicted of h murder and sentenced to life in prison. Nothing in your life suggests that society would ever be safe from your behavior. Reporter now outraged viewers want them freed. More than 200,000 people have signed a petition on change. Org and another 30,000 a are askin for president ialal pardon r avery and his nephew. We wanted to present as many sides as we could. But at the same time, we also wanted to tell a compelling to abc news,rosecutor ken kratz alleges important evidence was left out of the documentary. Idence like avery had drawn a torture chamber while in prison, that avery called the victims job to specifically request halbach the day she died. And that he called her cell phone three times, twice using the star 67 feature to hide his identity. The filmmakers say they were always concerned with fairness and accuracy. From my perspectivets a fair representation of what we witnessed going on and that the prosecution and the victims family have voices in this series we hear them talking about how theyre feeling. We hear the prosecutor talking about why he thinks his case is strong. Reporter when abc news approached netflix, we were told there was no further comment. For Good Morning America, linsey davis, abc news, new york. Thanks, linsey. We are joined by the former prosecutor at the center of that case, ken kratz. Thanks for joining us. Left out. Why do you think they left it out . Obviously this wasnt a documentary y at all. This was a defense piece. Itas generated by and for steven avery by his defense team. It wasnt until netflix decided to repackage this as a documentary that both sides were invited to participate. And so if some of the evidence at was selected, i would call it handpked or cherrypicked over an8month period, didnt fit with the narrative or the conclusion that mr. Avery s the product of a conspiracy or some planting of evidence, its my belief that the filmmakers just wouldnt include that information. My bgest concern about this whole process was their decision then to call it a documentary. You think steven avery should have a new trial . This docudrama i think its called, itself is not going to form the basis of a new trial. Attention it receives, unless theres a legal challenge that comes forth, there shouldnt be any reason for a new trial. The filmmakers also included information about you in the domentary. Something we covered in years office because of a sexting scandal. Do you think that was relevant and is that why you didnt participate in the film . Well, that part of the casese is rather disturbing. They included some p problems at i engaged in which were deplorable. There wasnt any excuse for that kind of behavior. Bu they happened three yearsrs after the conclusion of the avery case, and s so the revapsevance didnt make any sense to me, and really a lot of the people that watched it. They dont havanything to do however with the steven avery case. The filmmakers knew that and to include it, i think, was unfair. Finally several hundreded ousand people have petitioned what do you say to them . Well, as i understand, the president , since its a state case, wouldnt have any pardon opportunity. And i doubt that any executive officer, whether its the president or the governor, is going to weigh in on this in any substantial way. Its unfortunate, however, that the victims family really has to go through questions and this kind of nonsense that Law Enforcement is responsible for the death of their Family Member rather than those that were convicted of the crimes. Mr. Kratz, thanks for your time this morning. All right. George, have a good day. Hes right about that. The president really has no grounds for stepping in here.

Maybe not completely wiping it out, b if you really are aware of how much time youre spending and just kind of cut back on it just a bit. And you can use a phone just as a phone. Exactly.

Adrenaline leaves and your mind just starts to wander. Yeah. I havent thought about my family once tonight. Im thinking about them now. Of course, based on a true story, 2012. There had to have been some ternal pressure for you to get this right. Oh, 100 . I think there was pressure on everybody, certainly the actors and i will give a ton of credit to michael bay from the moment he decided to do this, he wanted to get it right from obviously its based on a book about the true story and i think a lot dont know about the true story. I think people think they know about benghazi. I certainly didnt know about this specific story of the six guys. Why dont you tell me that. Your perception versus what you learned. Sure, i think theres so much focus on the situation politically thatat this waan opportunity for everybody to hear the human story of what happened that night, which is save ambassador stevens and ended up saving so Many American lives that night, and these guys were not active military, so they were retired and hired obligation to go in and within a split second put their lives on the line, which is i mean the true definition of heroism. Do you feel like this movie will reopen the wound, the debate of what happened in benghazi . I dont know ifhere is a debate i think searching for the truth is always something thats very important and i think that, you know, these guys were on set every day with us, we were so lucky to have the real guys with us. I got to meet the guy i was playing and these guys are the most wonderful, unassuming, very heroic people that, you know, i think its about time we tell their story of what they went through. Absolutely, and everybody can see that movie, thatsoming out on january 15th. Thats right. 13 hours. Its incredible. I have so much to talk to you about. By the way, can we close the door .

Is that something you and your beautiful wife emily, were you doing lipsync battles and thought we have a lot of celebrity friends that would do this . Not the second part but the first part, we were definitelyly driving in the car and we were lipsyncing to music and i got a call that i was going to go on the jimmy fallon show. And he said what do you want to do. And i said why dont we do an eight mile lipsync battle. He saiaid yes anthen all this happened. Unbelieble. So are you saying right here that jimmy fallon copied you because he does it on your show all the time . No, we did it together so hes producing the show with me. Because we did it on his show we decided it was his idea to say do you want to make a tv show out of t this and thought, no one will watch that. I was wrong. I actually i was wrong. I cant look away. I think its hilarious. You cant look away when im in a dress singing tina turner. Yes. By the way, its funny you no. Oh. Oh, yeah. When you create the show you should be able to put Something Like this in a vault. Yeah. I should have done that. I mean, you do. You have to sell it when its your show as executive producer. And i do have to report that you didnt win. Yeah, i definitely didnt win. I definitely made that dress myself. Just no, i didnt. Some fabulous people did.

Yes breakout star brie larson is earning oscar buzz for her powerful performance in room. She she plays a young Woman Held Captive for years with her son. And when he turns 5, she tells him the truth about the imaginary world she created in that room. Take a look. Okay . There wasnt a dog. He told me. I want a different story. No, this is the story that you get. He put me in his garden shed here. Room is the shed. And brie larson joins us now. Thanks for coming to gma. Such an incredibly intense performance, and you really had a bond with that young actor jacob tremblay. Yeah, hes the best. I love him. How did youo it . I read about the preparation for playing this woman who has been held captive for years, has the baby in captivity. And you really wanted to create thatat feelingnside yourself. Yeah, well, it at first t iteemed like a story that was so far away from me that i had to work in many Different Directions in ordeto understand her, so i went on a very restrictive rigid diet and started working out a bunch to tear my body down, had to stay out of the sun for many months, i didnt leave the house for it felt like to have that sense of isolation and then the final piece was getting to know jacob who plays my son, and i think once all of those pieces came together, she made so much sense to me and the story kind of opened up and became a universal one, the story of our lives and the story of growing up and the sto of falling in love, alof those wonderful things. And family dynamic takes hold after shshes released, after they escape. And what i thought was so amazing about it is how real that relationship, those relationships were. Didnt sugar coat it at all. Oh, yeah, well, that was kind of our intention with all of this was its a true testament to our author, emma doghue, anour director, lenny abrahamson, who we wanted to come from an authentic place to try to tell this story as beautifully as possibl and love is a wonderful thing and is rlly painful and one of the great risk of it. It paid off. You earneded a goldeglobe youre up for best drama. Amy schumer, your costar in trainwreck, how will you celebrate . Were hoping to sit at the same table. Jen lawrence was also nominated.
