Fbi director yaims on capitol hill for a secret meeting with top lawmakers yesterday and our senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas is here with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning. With so many enormously sensitive issues of the most classified nature swirling here in washington, the fbi director was called to capitol hill to separate fact from fiction. Fbi director james comey summoned to capitol hill for a series of top secret briefings with congressional leaders. The socalled gang of eight. Suspected topics, issues with Extraordinary National security implications. Russian interference in the 2016 election and comeys assessment of trumps explosive allegation that obama ordered wiretaps against trump tower. The evidence that president obama ordered a wiretap at trump tower . Reporter fbi director james comey refusing comment but senator mark warner telling abc news hes seen no evidence of wiretapping. Thus far, the white house has offered no evidence to support trumps accusations and when pressured by abc affiliate wews, Vice President pence would not directly answer the question. The president and our administration are very confident that the congressional committees in the house and senate that are examining issues surrounding the last election, the runup to the last election will do that in a thorough way. Reporter another topic hes expected to face, the massive breach handed over by wikileaks laying out the cias ability to eavesdrop on smartphones and computers. The cia became aware within the last couple of months that it had lost that material. Reporter an aggressive investigation is under way to find out who did it. Potential suspects according to sources, private contractors and others who work on the inside. This morning assange is offering Tech Companies a fix for some of the gaps in security. Intelligence officials appear to be using them to tap smartphones and computers. Now to the raging battle over health care. The gops plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act winning key votes in the house but facing opposition by democrats and republicans and our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce has new details for us. Good morning. Reporter good morning. With their Health Care Plan under attack Republican Leaders and the white house are in full on sell mode. The president is expected to hit the road next week while here on capitol hill the speaker is pitching with power points. Armed with charts and tough talk. This is the closest weve been to repealing and replacing obamacare and let me just say it again, this is the closest we will ever get to repealing and replacing obamacare. Reporter facing opposition from his own party the speaker of the house rolling up his sleeves to make the case for his health care overhaul. The debate has already begun. One House Committee deliberating amendments for a whopping 27 hours. On that vote there were 31 aye sen 23 nays. Reporter two key numbers still missing. The bills price tag and number of americans that could lose coverage under the new plan. Already the medical community is voicing its opposition. Some warning the plan could make things worse. Conservative senator tom cotton tells abcs jon karl he agrees. Im afraid it could make it worse in some ways, insurance rates would continue to go up and that americans would have even less control and less choice over their health care system. Reporter but Republican Leaders in the white house remain optimistic setting an ambitious time line. Im very confident well repeal and replace obamacare and it will ail be done by this spring. Reporter President Trump declaring what you hear in the press, despite that, health care is coming along great. The white house with this message. If members have ideas, we want to hear them and want them to be part of it. This isnt getting jammed through. Reporter and the meetings and selling continues today at the white house. The president will sit down with key House Committee chairmen. Trump has been busy behind the scenes. The businessman president seems to be putting those dealmaking skills to work. Jonathan karl has more. The rorschach test on how it is doing and listen to the critics, it looks like its in deep trouble but meanwhile, passing through committees. Reporter its an uphill battle. Loud voices criticizing it in the house. Its hard to see right now where the 50 votes are in the senate. The outside conservative groups are against it but, george, i would not underestimate the ability of donald trump to get republicans in line on this bill. He is methodically meeting with the bills critics and it passed two big committees in the house yesterday and, george, not a single republican on either committee voted against it. The key stumbling block could come monday when they assess what this is going to mean for people with coverage now, what its going to mean for costs overall . Reporter yeah, those are the two big things. Both could be problematic. The cost and how many lose coverage. In a sign that the white house is not optimistic about the way the cbo will look at this they are already criticizing the Budget Office pointing out think got the numbers wrong when they did estimates on obamacare. On another front the epa administrator pruitt drawing fire for taking on the Scientific Consensus about Climate Change. Lets watch. I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and theres tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact. So, no, i would not agree that its a primary contributor to the Global Warming we see. Thats at odds with the official position of the epa. What impact will it have on the work of that agency . Reporter well, its at odds with the official position but also the vast majority of the people who work at the epa, it puts in basically as an outlier in the agency he heads. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. George, new job numbers coming out covering the president s first full month in the white house. Our chief Business Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis is here. You have much more on all this. Good morning. Good morning. This is arguably the most important report when it comes to gauging the health of the economy and its also the First Official jobs report from the bureau of labor owned entirely by President Trump who boasted earlier this week about two other reports from private companies showing significant job creation. One indicating nearly 300,000 jobs were created last month. Todays report not expected to be quite that strong. Wall street expects 190,000 jobs were added in the month of february. That is short of januarys 227,000 jobs, but a better than expected part of the threemonth trend, robin. Thank you, rebecca. We move on to breaking news overseas. The embattled president of south korea removed after a corruption scandal, it could have major implications for the u. S. Effort to counter the Nuclear Threat from north korea. Bob woodruff is on the scene in seoul, good morning, bob. Reporter well, good morning, george. You can see people are actually pouring out to the streets right here in seoul but most are celebrating because hours ago south koreas President Park geunhye was impeached, kicked out of office on allegations of corruption. Taking secret bribes from powerful corporations like samsung and now the Trump Administration is facing a new challenge. North koreas leader kim jongun has been getting more and more aggressive. Last week he launched five missiles and there are growing fears it could eventually hit the United States so now President Park has allowed the u. S. To bring an antimissile Defense System that could bring down missiles fired from north korea. China opposed this strongly and concerns that next south korean president could change all of this. George. North korean news could be the most significant Security Threat we face. Terrifying attack in germany. A suspect in custody after injuring at least seven people at a train station with an ax. Lets go right to abcs Alex Marquardt with new reporting. Reporter people running out of the dusseldorf train station screaming trying to flee the rampaging attacker. Heavily armed Police Quickly swarm the station which is one of germanys biggest going door to door, shop to shop in the wake of the attack. Moments earlier just before 9 00 p. M. 36yearold man from kosovo and the former yugoslavia started attacking passersby at random police said with an ax. At least nine people were wounded. Some seriously. No one was killed. The station was shut down, cordoned off by police, emergency vehicles on the scene. Passenger bruno macedo was on a train at the time and listening to reports. There was a crazy guy with an ax there and the station is closed. Reporter a short time later police saying the suspect had tried to escape by jumping off an overpass near the station. Suffering serious injuries and taken to the hospital. Countries across europe are at a heightened state of alert after the string of terror attacks over the past two years including several in germany, the december attack in berlin when a truck drove into a christmas crowd killing 12 and last summer an afghan teen carried out an ax attack on a train and isis claimed responsibility. The police here have said that there are no links to terrorism. They said that the man was a lone attacker suffering from what they called a psychiatric emergency. George. Okay, alex, thanks very much. More fallout from that nude photo scandal that rocked the marine corps. A new report says more photos have been shared on more sites spanning every Military Branch and dan harris has the details. Good morning, thats right. What started as a revelation about marines sharing illicit photos without concept has metastasized across the armed forces. This morning shocking new allegations of military Service Members sharing illicit photos of their female colleagues and not just in the marine corps. A Business Insider report alleges hundreds of nude note tos from every Military Branch were posted to a pornographic image sharing website called anonib. On a message board dedicated to military personnel. The photos allegedly dating back to 2016. Users asking for nude photos of specific female Service Members identifying some by name or where they were stationed. The pentagon is already investigating allegations of marines sharing nude photos of female Service Members through a private Facebook Group called marines united. Kally wayne a former marine recently speaking out accusing her marine exboyfriend of sharing a private tape they made that was linked to the Facebook Group. I felt like my privacy had been taken away from me. Reporter wayne was removed from the marines in 2016 for unrelated misconduct. Overnight a spokesperson for the marines saying we are not able to confirm that marines are participating in the site anonib but that allegations of misconduct are thoroughly investigated. On wednesday, the Sergeant Major of the marine corps ronald green faced questions from congress about that Facebook Group. Frankly, the initial statement about it didnt provide the level of outrage that i think most women would have felt was necessary. I understand how everybody wants us to come out and be outraged and we are outraged. Reporter the office of jackie spear alleges this kind of behavior goes well beyond the marine corps but that more cases come from the marines than any other branch. And congresswoman spear is now pursuing legislation that would make it illegal to share these without consent online and overnight a go fund me page called female marines united raised nearly 5,000 and they plan to donate it to head strong which offers Free Mental Health treatment for post9 11 veterans. What kind of action do we expect to see. The various branches have come forward, the marines, army, and denounced this and promise theyll investigate and all calling on alleged vics to come forward and talk about their experience. So it is not the end of this. Not at all. Thanks very much. Far from over. Lets go now back to ginger in pennsylvania with the latest reporter after this storm slides over and goes into the ocean, and grabs energy this comes in.

We move to an abc news investigation. Chief investigative correspondent brian ross takes us inside programs that claim to perform gay conversions and here with a preview of his 20 20 special. For the last year weve been investigating places that many claim no longer exist. Camps where gay teens are sent by parents who want their children to change their sexuality. So watch this video. Take a slight left turn on to rural road. Reporter we found what we were looking for down a dirt back road in alabama. The blessed hope boys academy. Reporter a place where a christian pastor will tell our abc news Undercover Team that with the bible and sometimes a belt you know, this boy here claims to be homosexual. Reporter along with a 21,000 yearly fee, he knows how to deal with teenagers who consider themselves gay. Its going against the word of god. It is not bib likely right. Reporter and he told our team that he gets written permission from parents to strike their child if they act up. I wouldnt do it just because for one just because he says hes queer. Reporter this is just one of a number of places discovered by abc news in a yearlong investigation practicing a notion denounced by leading medical groups gay teens can choose to change their sexuality. For every camp like this there are a hundred more that nobody knows about that nobodys exposing on tv. Reporter including one place outside mobile, alabama, unlicensed and surrounded by barbed wire, run by this man, william knot who calls himself a christian pastor but has a track record of physical abuse and cruelty. Everybody was scared of him. Reporter lucas greenfield a gay teen from florida was sent to knots camp at the age of 14. Isolation and beating and everything else. Because . They were assumed to be gay. Reporter gay was a sin. Gay is a sin. Gay is evil. Gay is the worst abomination of god. Reporter karen was a counselor at the camp who says she quit when she saw how pastor knot treated the teens. Knot is a sadist. You think so. I know so. Anybody that has names for their belts to chip children with on their bare bottoms is a sadist. We saw how this christian pastor reacts to someone he does not like. Im with abc news. What did you do to those boys . I dont want to talk to you. Because i dont like you. Get away from me. This is how you treat the young boys. This is how i treat you. Get away from me. Reporter what that socalled pastor did not know when we met him was he was about to face his own day of reckoning in the wake of our abc news investigation, six of the teens who said that knot abused and tortured them agreed to testify and just two weeks ago after being found guilty he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, the sentence the judge says in alabama he hopes sends a message across the country. Wow. Names for his belts. Do parents know these things when they force their kids to go. Sometimes the cruelty only emerges after the parents leave but the parents sometimes have a hard time dealing with the sexu sexu sexuality and told with a bill of goods, the bible or belt they have a way to change their children. To one was more religious than my parents and im so grateful especially after seeing this how supportive they were of me as a gay woman and my family and friends and ill never forget my mother saying, god loves you because of who he is, not because of anything you do or dont do. And i know youll have much more. Essence of christianity right there. Love is love. More tonight on 20 20 and see how pastor knot treats those children. Well be right back. Two become one.

This morning San Francisco police on the hunt for the bikers behind this terrifying assault on a car service driver. There are about 20 motorcycles involved yelling at motorists. Reporter more than a dozen men an bikes surround this car wednesday night right in the middle of rush hour traffic. Vandalizing it on the highway. Seriously injuring the driver. Just moments before, the group of riders are seen in this video slowing down traffic doing stunts on the freeway popping wheelies. A passing motorist attempted to pass this group and probably they didnt like it. Reporter watch as the riders then surround this white toyota forcing it to stop blocking it in ramming the vehicle, ripping the side mirror off. That party got out of his vehicle to confront these motorcycle ifs and unfortunately this verbal altercation escalated into a physical fight. Reporter you can see a rider in a red sweatshirt punching out the window of the car. Apparently the vic that was being assaulted by those motorcycle riders now has a broken leg. Reporter the driver identified as alex quintano thrown to the ground, punched, kicked, trying to get up only to be knocked down again by another biker. This type of road rage incident has happened before. In 2013 new york city banker alex yon leon was dragged out of his suv and beaten by a gang of motorcyclists in front of his wife and child in upper manhattan. 11 bikers were convicted in connection with that attack. So, what do you do if you see a driver, a group of drivers doing Something Like this . Your best bet, pull back, put some distance between your car and theirs, call 911 and if at all possible stay in your car if you can. That San Francisco man has a broken leg but he is lucky to be alive this morning. Oh, gosh. Every time you see some video like that. That was a tough one. Thank you.

And we are back with our big board here at the table with dan abrams and jay williams, espn analyst, former duke star. Thank you for coming on. Well get to you in just a minute. A video taken by an uber driver pulled over by Police Ordered to stop taking video as they search his passenger. Take a look at this. Hey, bud, turn that off. No, ill keep recording, thank you. Its my right. Dont record me. Youre a Police Officer on duty. I can record you. And if you come to the side of the vehicle i can keep recording you. Turn it off. Turn it off. Im sitting in my car. Theres a new law what is the law . Step out of the car. Explain to everyone here what the driver got right. The Police Officer got wrong. The law. The bottom line is you, of course, are allowed to shoot a Police Officer in a public space like that. With a camera. With a camera. Theres just no question about it. And the other challenge for authorities here, he who is an attorney is saying they didnt have probable cause later to search his car either. So hes got two complaints going. Number one is you told me the law that didnt exist and number two is you searched my car even though you didnt have probable cause. Oops. So theres now an investigation going on any time you get a video like in that goes viral like this youre going to have an investigation. Thats because of police chief saying taking photographs and video of people in plain sight including the police is your legal right. As a matter of fact, we invite citizens to do so when they believe it is necessary and as you said theyre launching this investigation. What do you think . They handled it well by coming out quickly and not saying well defend the officer. Theyre basically saying, look, the officer was wrong here. I think the officer is going to get a reprimand. I dont think you cannot in a highprofile case like this punish an officer who is telling people a law that doesnt exist and making it up. With that said, i dont think this is going to be treated as the gravest of offenses either but i expect there will be some sort of reprimand for the Police Officer because i dont see how you cant. Everybody stayed calm at least in this situation. You think when people are pulled over particularly the guy, he handled it as well while he was being very firm, the lawyer, he wasnt being a jerk to the Police Officers either. He wasnt being rude. He wasnt being disrespectful. He wasnt, you know he was basically just saying, look, this is my right. I can keep shooting and one point he says, look, im scared. He said im surrounded by five Police Officers now. Im going to keep rolling. And i think what was so important about what he did is not escalating it to the next level. That was huge. That was huge.

Abcs linzie janis, are you serious with this . Im serious. Im afraid. Good morning, robin. It is all being driven by social media.

Its russian roulette and youre playing with how youre going to be for the rest of your life. Reporter the American Association of orthodontists reporting an uptick, 13 of its members are seeing patients who have tried diy teeth straightening such an alarming number, theyre reissuing this psa. Trying to close a gap or straighten your teeth yourself can increase the risk of infection and serious damage to your teeth and gums. Reporter oddly enough David Campbell says at a young age his dentist suggested he apply rubber bands at night to try to close a gap in his front teeth but the bands kept disappearing. He thought they were falling off but really the rubber bands were actually going up into my gums and killing the teeth at the root. They found about four or five rubber bands up in the root of my gums and had just strangled my teeth. Reporter new york dentist nancy rosen says that was bad advice. And the damage can happen quickly. Sometimes in just a couple of days. And fixing it can be costly. In the end youll be paying at least double to correct all the mistakes that youve made. Reporter if they can be fixed at all. You can fix your plumbing and do it wrong and call a plumber. When you make a visit to an orthodontist to repair whats been done sometimes the damage is not repairable. Reporter campbell says he eventually lost his two front teeth and estimates he spent between 40,000 and 50,000 over the years. Now hes warning teens not to do what he did. It may look simple. But it can end up costing you thousands of dollars and a lot of heartache, pain and suffering. Campbell says his dentist at the time gave him that terrible advice so when it comes to straightening your teeth choose a reputable artiorthodontist. Remember these loom bands. Theyre using them on their teeth. The company says theyre not intended for use in the mouth. Its remarkable any of us survive adolescence. Its so true, isnt it.

And you really in this role, i mean because many people are familiar but you put your own little new twist to it. Yeah, i have. Its been amazing but i think probably youre referring to yesterday, we did a Big International book drop around the world of hopefully what are inspiring reads for young women and girls and men and boys too, but yeah, it was amazing. But also your character is a little bit different from what we know from the animated belle. She is a little different. I think that we had a little bit more space and room to tell a bit more of belles story in this one and we yeah, shes i hope shes a slightly more modern version. Its been, gosh, the first original was released in 1992 and we are in 2017 so she was updated a little bit but i mean pretty progressive in her dna really, yeah.

And you did a lot of dancing in the movie. What was harder for you, the singing or dancing . I think the singing because i mean its something that ive always done and loved to do but to do it in such a beloved musical and when, you know, the songs are so well known and, you know, i really i think i felt the weight of that and theres something vulnerable about singing. I dont know how to explain it. You feel completely we dont do it. Totally different thing from acting in a way. Theres nothing to hide behind. Its your voice and, yeah, i felt very sort of naked doing it for the first time so i think that was the hardest. Thats why most of us hide in the shower. People have been going crazy over these reports of late that you and your former harry potter costars are keeping in touch via text message group. Yeah. Can you give us a sense of what youre saying to each other. I love how this has become a huge thing. Of course, we text one another. But, yeah, no, i mean i guess so proud of this movie and i wanted them to feel included and so, of course, i invited them to come.

All right, and so here we are with owner of Kalahari Resorts and convention, todd nelson and his daughter who is the designer of all of the properties, natasha lucke.

But i appreciate this gentleman in particular, hes a dear friend of mine, eldric bashful though he is not bashful at all and hes a manager at a local restaurant here in new york city and you always give me the best table. Thats why i want to give you a table, a breakfast table but weve talked over the years and he has told me about his passion to be a professional opera singer and hes trained for that all of his life and its hard work to do that and so, well, i want you to see his journey thus far. It started when i was a child. Opera was one of those things that we were exposed to from the very early age. We all sang. The bashfuls are known as being singers. As i developed into desiring more of a classical career, i eventually went back to grad school at Arizona State university, got my masters in opera performance. The quintessential thing in america is the metropolitan opera. It is every singers dream to grace that stage in some form or fashion. The opportunity to audition on a regular basis to have some of the best coaches, this is where it happens in this country. Ladies, follow me please. Sure. It is a very difficult career path on ones emotion, on ones finances. It takes a lot of energy and a lot of effort to be a classical opera singer. But i still hold hope out to make a career out of it. So, right now im working on the role of alfredo. Hopefully ill be able to perform it for an audience any time soon. [ applause ] ah. Please join me, my friend, eldric bashful, everyone. Im telling you, over the years going there and if you go to this restaurant he may break out in song, dont we have some video of what you have serenaded customers over the years. Yes, i have, yeah. It just comes to you. You feel the urge. What happens. It depends. It depends. If its down time in the restaurant and the special occasions be more than happy to sing a song or two. What does this recognition mean to you. Oh, this is great. Oh, gosh. To be here with you, i mean, youve been such a dear, dear friend over the few years that weve known each other and i just hope something continues to come out of this because i really appreciate what youve done. Be careful what you wish for. So, were going to have you in the commercial break warm up those beautiful vocal chords and everyone here with the met opera, thank you, opera fans that are here, really appreciate all of you being here and helping us surprise eldric. You better warm up. We got a little bit of a surprise for you right after this. My cancer started as Ovarian Cancer and it kept coming back in different places. We went from everything being fine to everything not being fine. I really needed someone who could think outside the box. We did the Genomic Testing pretty early in christines course. With our treatments weve had Great Success for her. They gave me Treatment Options i didnt know about before. Theres an atmosphere of hope. I want to be around just to be a grandma.
