Cant wait to bring you the rest. We cant wait. Amy, thanks very much. Much more from rio ahead. But first, that new trouble for donald trump. Under fire for comments about Hillary Clinton in the Second Amendment. Clinton supporters accuse him of suggesting violence against the candidate. As she faces new fallout over her emails. With trump in fayetteville, North Carolina. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, a busy morning on the trail. Trump says Hillary Clinton and the press are taking what he said out of context. This as the Clinton Campaign is having to explain what looks to be a blurry line between some at the Clinton Foundation and at state department under Hillary Clintons leadership. Overnight, donald trump forced to explain what he meant when he said this about Hillary Clinton hillary wants to abolish, amendment, by the way, and if she gets to pick if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, i dont know. Reporter clinton supporters say trump was encouraging violence. Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeting, donald trump makes Death Threats because hes a pathetic coward who cant handle the fact that hes losing to a girl. But the Trump Campaign says trump was talking about unifying Second Amendment supporters, not about harming clinton. The people mobilize and vote, they can stop hillary from having this impact on the court. But thats not how the media is spinning it. Whats your reaction to it . Nobody in that room thought anything other than what you just said. This is a political movement. Reporter but someone in that room did have a strong reaction. Look at that trump supporter just behind him as trump made the comment. The Clinton Campaign not finding simple. What trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way. The campaign also dealing with their own problems. Trying to explain how seddique mateen, the father of the orlando shooter omar mateen, ended up behind clinton during her rally in Central Florida where she was speaking about the tragedy at the pulse nightclub. We cant ever let that kind of hatred and violence break the spirit, break the soul of anyplace in america. Reporter mateen telling West Palm Beach station wptv he was invited. Its a democratic party. So everybody can join. Reporter clinton aides will only say this individual wasnt invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event. And now the Clinton Campaign dealing with another email controversy. Watch releasing emails showing what appears to be a Clinton Foundation staffer asking for favors from the state department when clinton was secretary recommending they hire someone. The Trump Campaign citing this as more evidence clinton ran a, quote, corrupt office. The Clinton Campaign saying neither of these emails involve the secretary or relate to the foundations work. Now, House Speaker paul ryan who won his primary race yesterday in wisconsin, was asked about trumps Second Amendment he says he didnt hear the exact comments but he was aware of it and he said this, it sounded like a joke gone bad. I hope he clears it up very quickly. Okay, tom, thanks. Lets talk to one of Donald Trumps top supporters, rudy giuliani. Hi. Hi, george, how are you . You heard the speaker saying this is a joke gone bad. Apologize. Well, first of all, i was there and id like people at home to kind of get an idea what vote against her. He never used he was talking about after the election. He was talking about the election in general. He wasnt just talking about after the election. You know how speeches go. He was talking about how they have the power to keep her out of office. Thats what he was talking about. That is what generally, but specifically he was talking about he cant do anything after the election except the Second Amendment people. We know donald trump is not particularly indirect. If donald trump was going to Say Something like that he would Say Something like that. I was there. Realize that the first time that any of us had any idea that that is the way it was interpreted is when the clinton spin machine interpreted it that way, spun it out to a press that is willing to hit him every day, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. But in realtime you had people like former cia director Michael Hayden raising the same question. It wasnt in realtime. It was after out, they spun it out in eight minutes, bam, like that. That is not what he intended. What he intended is very, very simple, that he should vote against her. With a crowd like that if thats what they thought he meant we did see that one guy which brings me to the guy behind Hillary Clinton who is the father of a person who killed 49 people, who wounded 53 people, ends up being invited to sit in a prime position behind Hillary Clinton, and you got to ask yourself, number one, who invited him . We still dont know and, number two, what drew him to Hillary Clinton they said they didnt him and she disavowed why is he such an avid supporter, holding up a sign about how great a president she would be. This is a guy who supports the taliban. He is antiamerican who himself has supported terrorist organizations, who has said that god is going to punish homosexuals. He is a homophobe of the worst kind, and he is a very, very clinton . People should ask that question. What brings him to Hillary Clinton . I believe its her soft stance on islamic extremist terrorism, which he and which she and the president have had since the president has been in office. He shows up at her rally. She disavows that supporter. Meantime, youve got these 50 National Security officials in the Republican Administration who are saying they cannot support donald trump because he lacks selfcontrol. He would be the most reckless president in American History and it includes people you supported strongly in the past. Michael chertoff, tom ridge, both former Homeland Security secretary, these are not democrats. These are not clinton supporters. These people are worried about donald trump. Well, first of all, there are some of them that i respect a lot and theyre good friends of mine and they will remain good friends of mine but i have a disagreement with them. They dont know donald trump the way i do. Ive known him for 28 years. I know he is a responsible man, a very, very successful man, a than Hillary Clinton who has found to be extremely careless with the use of National Security information, extremely careless is like, oh, gosh, the kindest way you could say it. Its email after email is spilling out one after another after another and we still have 30,000 that she destroyed. Now, and what i suspected is true. What i suspected is that she destroyed a lot of those emails because it shows a connection between Hillary Clinton as secretary of state and the money being raised for the foundation and bill clinton speaking fees. Doesnt donald trump have to get more careful with his words if you want to get that message out. No, you have to stop misinterpreting and you have to stop putting words in his mouth that he didnt say, that he didnt mean. I drove from that venue to the plane, got on the plane, i was with him all throughout. He had no idea that anybody would interpret his words that way, that is not the way he meant it. It was a big surprise. My first reaction when i heard the call was, oh, this will go its such a stupid thing to suggest that he would Say Something like that, and it was so obvious to all of us what he meant. Mr. Mayor, thanks for joining us this morning. Thank you. Lets go to lara. George, thank you. Lets turn to a devastating shooting overnight. A woman accidentally killed during a Police Safety exercise in florida. It happened when an officers gun fired an unexpected live round. An investigation is under way and phillip mena has the latest for us from punta gorda, florida. Good morning, phillip. Reporter lara, good morning. Witnesses say at first they thought the gunfire was part of the plan but when the woman in the drill didnt get up, they soon realized that something had gone horribly wrong, that the officer had shot bullets instead of blanks. Overnight, a woman taking part in a Citizens Police academy meant to educate the public on Police Safety, accidentally killed by a police officer. We were all just standing there thinking shes going to stand up in a minute. Reporter Mary Knowlton, a Community Event called shoot, dont shoot, a roleplaying exercise designed to show the public what its like when police are forced to make splitsecond decisions. These facebook pictures show a similar class back in march. According to witnesses an officer fired several rounds at knowlton of what were supposed to be blanks but the gun mistakenly had a live round inside it. During the first scenario in a horrible accident, participant Mary Knowlton was mistakenly struck with a live round. Reporter she was rushed to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Simone biles, i have to say, it will absolutely be the highlight of my time here in rio to watch her perform. Precision, sticks every landing. What were your thoughts about watching her . Well, simone and that whole team, aly raisman did so well, gabby douglas. But, when you look at simone american golds ever won by gymnasts at the olympics are two, right.
