Now the 911 calls for help. Theres been an airplane crash on i15. What authorities are saying tonight. Good evening, and its great to have you with us here on a thursday night, and we begin with now reporting breaking at this hour revealing a war brewing inside the west wing. The brand new Communications Director and a phone call he reportedly made to a writer at the new yorker. Their conversation shedding new light on what we already knew. There is major tension between these two men, that communications chief and the chief of staff. Tonight, its turned very ugly. Just moments ago, that Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci tweeting, sometimes i yooz colorful language. Abcs chief white house correspondent, jonathan karl, leading us off. Reporter the death stare. A portrait of a white house staff at war with itself. Chief of staff, reince priebus, facing off against new Communications DirectorAnthony Scaramucci in the oval office. Their relationship fraught from the start. Priebus opposed scaramuccis appointment. Still, on day one, scaramucci called him a dear and personal friend. We are a little bit like brothers, where we rough each other up once in a while, which is totally normal for brothers. Reporter but today, that brotherly love took a dark turn. Some brothers are like cain and abel. Other brothers can fight with each other and get along. I dont know if this is reparable or not, that will be up to the president. Reporter overnight, scaramucci seemed to suggest priebus leaked his Financial Disclosure form to a reporter, that he is a bleeping schizophrenic. Saying they will all be fired by me. I fired one guy the other day. I have three or four people ill fire tomorrow. He hints he has information on white house aides, telling the new yorker, i have nailed these guys. I have digital fingerprints on everything they have done through the fbi and the bleeping department of justice. They will get prosecuted. Scaramucci says priebus himself was doing the leaking. Tweeting, in light of the leak of my Financial Disclosure, i will be contacting fbi and the justice department. He deleted the tweet insisting he wasnt blaming the chief of staff, but when reporters disputed that, scaramucci issued a talent on live television. They are all making the assumption that its him because journalists know who the leakers are. If reince wants to explain he is not a leaker, let him do that. Reporter the out in the public sniping has alarmed some of the president s closest advisers. I think scaramuccis full of himself. Its totally unhelpful to have someone going around starting family fights in public, and i dont think its helpful to the president. Reporter the president said he likes to see his top aides spar with each other. I think the president as always enjoys healthy competition and conversation, and he sees that as such. Does the president have confidence in his chief of staff . If the president doesnt then hell make that decision. We all serve at the pleasure of the president , and if he gets to a place where that isnt the case, hell let you nop. Reporter as for priebus, he has been silenced. Nobody in the white house defending him. He is the second Top Administration official left twisting in the wind by the president. The other one of course, attorney general Jeff Sessions who broke his silence today on the president s continued attack. You have seen the president s criticism of you. Do you think its fair . Well, its kind of hurtful, but the president of the United States is a strong leader. He wants all of us to do our jobs and thats what i intend to do. So lets get to jon karl at the white house tonight, and the White House Press secretary wouldnt say whether the president has confidence in his chief of staff, but youre learning from your sources tonight that the president s closest advisers are discussing replacements . Unfortunately, we have a problem there, but we will move on now to a new vote. So far, the effort to repeal and replace obamacare has not passed as you know, and the effort to simply repeal it went down in defeat. Tonight, the republicans are moving forward with a skinny repeal. Just in tonight, one leading republican furious saying skinny bill as policy is a disaster. Abcs mary bruce back on the hill tonight. Reporter tonight, the senate is barreling towards a vote. I think we need to get something done, get it started. Its gonna be a narrower bill than i would have supported, but its a good first start. Reporter first, they tried to repeal and replace, but that plan failed. The motion is not agreed to. Reporter then just repeal, worry about replacement later. That didnt have the votes either. Whats left . A pareddown plan being called the skinny repeal. But tonight one leading republican is blasting the plan. The skinny bill as policy is a disaster. The skinny bill as a replacement for obamacare is a fraud. What do you say about this being a far cry from what you promised . Everybody ought to be able to explain why this is a step in the right direction, and it is. Reporter the peared down plan is being called the skinny repeal. It would only roll back parts of obamacare. Like the mandate that all americans buy insurance. But that could leave 15 million more americans uninsured over the next decade. And cause premiums for some to jump by 20 . Eager for a win, the white house is stepping up the pressure on holdouts like alaska senator, lisa murkowski. Yesterday, the interior secretary gave her a call and reportedly threatened to pull support for key projects in her state. This is the most difficult conversation, and what i told the president , what i have told the president since he was elected was im here to help the people of my state. Mary bruce with us live tonight from the hill, and mary, as we saw in your reporting there, some republican lawmakers have some pretty serious concerns about this socalled skinny repeal, and might not vote for it . Reporter this senate bill is meant as a place hold tore buy more time to negotiate a better overhaul with the house, but some Senate Republicans are deeply concerned this could become permanent, and they are demanding that will not happen or else they say they will not vote for it, david. Mary bruce with us live on the hill den tonight, thank you. And after President Trumps tweet after a sudden and betweening ban on transgender people serving in the military, what the joint chiefs and top general are saying, no action, no changes until they hear directly from the white house what this policy is. Heres abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent, martha raddatz. Reporter tonight, the nations top military leaders say Transgender Americans will not be expelled from the armed forces without further guidance from the commander in chief. President trump catching them by surprise with his twitter announcement that, the United States government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u. S. Military. Since then, hes offered no further detail, refusing to answer questions. Our reporter at the white house trying [ applause ]. What about your policy on transgender people in the military . You go ahead. Shes very rude. Reporter today, the president s top military adviser, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, this statement. There will be no modifications to the current policy until the president s direction has been received by the secretary of defense and the secretary has issued implementation guidance. In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect. His words echoed by the armys top general. The entire force and chain of command, will, always has, will today and will tomorrow, and always should treat every soldier, sailor, marine, coast guard, with anything anity for the service of the cloth of our nation, bar none. Reporter so now for the 2,500 americans on active duty can continue to serve and receive the medical care to which they are currently entitled. People like Staff Sergeant logan ireland, the subject of a documentary in the new york times. Outraged by the new ban, saying for the president to deny an ablebodied fully qualified person, the inherent right to raise their right hand and serve their country potentially giving their own life for our freedoms is doing this country an injustice. During the campaign, candidate trump claimed he would be stronger for lgbt rights than Hillary Clinton. Martha raddatz with us live tonight from washington, and the pentagon says its waiting on guidance from President Trump. You heard the White House Press about when thats coming. Reporter yes. The White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders said they are working on the details but have no time line for any of this, although she insisted they are moving forward with impleme implementation of this policy.

Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Finally tonight, america strong. And the video now seen by millions.
