Now to a major warning from the fbi putting state Election Officials across the country on alert after reports hackers targeted voting systems in illinois and arizona. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas joins us from washington, d. C. With all the latest. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, amy. The fbi is increasingly concerned about the potential of a cyberattack in the coming november election. Following those attacks in arizona and illinois, the fbi sent out a bulletin calling on states to check for suspicious activity. Arizona Election Officials are saying the attack on that state may have been based in russia and comes amid suspicions that russian intelligence officials were behind a recent hack against a Democratic National committee, amy. Pierre, were hearing from a very powerful u. S. Senator who is expressing his grave concerns. Reporter yes, senator harry reid, the democratic minority leader from nevada wrote a letter to the fbi director expressing concern that russian intelligence officials may be targeting the election. Implicate the Trump Campaign but that will surely be refuted and challenged by trump and his surrogates. Pierre thomas with the latest from d. C. , thank you. We move on to that bombshell involving Hillary Clintons closest aide, huma abedin announcing shes separating from her husband, Anthony Weiner, amid reports of another sexting scandal, the third one for weiner who is forced to resign from congress five years ago when the first ones became public. Reporter sources tell me hillcl has been with her family and her boss in the hamptons where clinton has been fundraising. Her son right there with her. This announcement of the separation did not come as a surprise to people close to abedin. As you said this is the third time in five years Anthony Weiner finds himself at the center of some very embarrassing headlines. Just about as soon as this tabloid cover hit newsstands huma abedin hit send on a statement announcing her split from Anthony Weiner saying after long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, i have made the decision to separate this latest allegation accusing weiner of sexting with a woman while his young son was next to him in bed. It comes after a sexting scandal in 2011 that forced him to resign from office. Weiner heckled as he made the announcement. Im announcing my resignation from congress. All yay reporter then two years later, another sexting scandal. Let me just reiterate to my wife how sorry i am. Reporter behind the scenes can you leave the room for a second . Reporter a documentary filming all the cringeworthy moments of that tumultuous time. Its like having a nightmare. Reporter but in front of the cameras abedin stood by her man. I love him. I have forgiven him. I believe in him. Reporter sources tell abc news the couple has been estranged for months. Their last known public outing in may on the red carpet at the met gala. Clintons inner circle for two decades. She and weiner even married by the former president. Donald trump turning the separation into a political attack. Hes a pervert and just a very sick guy and shes married to him. Reporter calling it an issue of national security. Huma abedin has access to classified information. Its very likely that much of this information Anthony Weiner would know about. He is not holding back so is the Clinton Campaign worried that this will be a distraction for them . They dont seem to be, george, one source telling me huma has to do whats best for her and her family. Lets talk about it with political analyst matthew dowd. The Clinton Campaign, a personal issue, painful for huma abedin but you saw donald trump pouncing on it there. How deep does this cut in the campaign . There are so many things to say about this and to quote gene wilder as willy wonka there is no earthy way of knowing which wow, you almost sang that. Youre breaking new barriers every day. I mean its hard to fault huma once you married to quagmire from the family guy, it is a problem for the hillary Clinton Campaign because in the course of the whole thing, voters look at this, not hillary supporters and Trump Supporters arent going to like it but sort of independents look at it and say do we really want to go back to all this again . Its trouble. But we really have line around her private life, and this is her husband. It has nothing to do with the campaign. Meantime, donald trump continues to be bedeviled about issues about race and saw david duke, the former clan member talking about supporting trump and running for senator in indiana. And trump disavowed that and has a pastor tweeting Hillary Clinton in black face, yet, weve seen from some of the recent polls he appears to at least stop the bleeding. When you take a look at the average of the polls, hes almost where he was preconvention when he took a hit mistakes that were made in this race. Hes back to where it was. This is a race equilibrium, four or fivepoint race which wont be changed fundamentally until the debates. You have reports of russian involvement in the elections. This could create a real crisis of confidence in whatever the outcome is. When we reflect back on what happened in 2000 when there was a sense that there wasnt a legitimate president elected because of what happened in florida, were back in that same case again. Involved many will look at the aftermath and not accept it. Thanks very much. Now to two close calls on planes. A passenger trying to open a door in midair and another flight greeted by emergency crews after a suspicious item was spotted on board that plane. Abcs david kerley is at Reagan National airport with those details. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, amy. In that first incident the calmness of an alaska Flight Attendant is cited as a situation that was happening at more than 30,000 feet in the air. New video this morning of the man taken off an Alaska Airlines he said he needed to cancel his flight and get off the plane and just was speaking gibberish. Reporter the plane with 187 on board was flying to seattle from jfk when the man began yelling he needed to get off the plane. The pilots quickly diverting to minneapolis with a bit of wit on the radio. Were going to end up dropping off one of our passengers early. This customer having a difficult time working well with others. Reporter they escorted him off the aircraft. The air marshals were there quick and the Flight Attendants sort of surrounded him. Currently in a minneapolis hospital. Some other tense moments for a southwest plane with 89 passengers and 5 crew taxiing for takeoff in albuquerque, new mexico, a suspicious item was spotted in the cabin. Emergency crews surrounded the boeing 737, alarmed passengers immediately evacuated onto the tarmac. The plane was taken to a remote part of the airport grounds and searched. And nothing was found in that search. Nothing suspicious. So the passengers were rescreened. Four hours but, george, this gives you a sense of the tension of flyers these days in america. You see it every single day, thanks very much. Now to the growing debate sparked by Colin Kaepernick. The pro Quarterbacks National anthem protest has drawn a barrage of criticism. Others including the white house defending his free speech rights. Abcs matt gutman has the latest. Reporter this morning, its not tacklers that 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick is dodging but a growing swarm of critics. Fans burning his number 7 jersey. Reporter a sentiment on monday echoed by donald trump. I think its a terrible thing. Maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try. It wont happen. Reporter the famously tattooed kaepernick drawing flack for sitting on the bench at a preseason game last week as the rest of his team stood for the national anthem. That sitdown, a stand, he says, he was making against racial injustice. Ill continue to sit, im when there is significant change and i feel like that flag represents what its supposed to represent, ill stand. Reporter even the white house weighing in. Reporter while the nfl does not require its players to stand for the anthem, kaepernick says he wont actively recruit his teammates to follow suit and in what could be seen as a truce, team leaders at the 49ers have agreed not to openly criticize him. The same cant be said for former teammates like alex boone whose brother is m you have to show respect. Especially in this position that were in where were playing a game for a living. Its shameful. Reporter kaepernick said he would encourage others to join him but his anthem sitin has attracted followers. Mike tavares said he will sit out the national anthem.
