major questions this morning. ♪ and sound and safe and sound. >> did someone take meier si. >> reports tom brady's jersey was found in mexico and showing this man allegedly walking off with it after brady's big win. how police cracked the case. good morning, america. welcome back to robin. >> donke. >> what an historic showdown. fbi director taking on a sitting president testifying president trump is not telling the truth when he accuses president obama of wiretapping and repealing for the first time he's investigating whether the trump campaign was colluding with russia. it would be treason. even the top republican said a big gray cloud is hanging over the trump white house. >> president was on the trail speaking to a large crowd in louisville but not addressing that investigation. >> so we'll have much more on that in just a moment. first to that breaking news about the ban on devices on board flights heading to the u.s. from eight countries. abc's david kerley starts us off from dulles airport with all those details. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. hours ago this ban went into effect. specific airlines and airports told electronic devices bigger than a phone like this not allowed on direct flights to the u.s. they're taking the step of banning electronics bigger than cell phones from the cabins of jetliners flying in from eight middle eastern countries. including several ally, egypt, saudi arabia, the gulf coast, all in an attempt to prevent this, a laptop stuffed with explosives smuggled on to a somali jetliner detonating after takeoff. it camera and dvd players, it does not include phones or medical devices. >> they're trying to take an extra step that could take anything packed with explosives out of the cabin and prevent some sort of device being manually detonated. >> reporter: the news first revealed by royal juror dane an airlines apologizing saying they'll be strictly prohib at the timed. other, ooipair, ethiad and emirates. >> the u.s. government has some developed intelligence that a group as developed some type of device they can get on an airplane using a laptop or some other electronic appliance. >> reporter: now saudi arabia, another ally, its airline has told its passengers they will have to check their larger devices. the u.s. has told these airlines and airports they have four days to comply with this order. >> four days, david. for more let global affairs correspondent martha raddatz and first of all, i want to ask about the reports that homeland security john kelly phoned lawmakers over the weekend to brief them on some of the issues that led to this ban. is that correct. >> reporter: he did, robin. john kelly did call some lawmakers to tell them about the new security threat. while it is not a specific threat, something triggered this urgent change and officials believe that some terrorist group is now capable of getting past airport security and carrying on a device that the current screening may not catch. this is also happening as many top arab officials are headed to washington to attend a meeting of the u.s.-led coalition against isis. even though we do not know whether it is isis that is of the greatest concern with these new rules. there's also the possibility that the recent raid in yemen where a navy s.e.a.l. was killed yielded some valuable intelligence, that's the home of an al qaeda bomb maker the has long been after. >> we know you're familiar with these particular airports and people want to know why they were singled out and could others follow suit. >> these will for the most part major airports, especially dubai, one of the world's busiest airports, there's already strict screening there. one of the most thorough i have ever seen. they not only check you when you enter the gate but every passenger has an additional check of carry-on item by item but clearly the u.s. no longer thinks that is enough and maybe more will follow. >> that is clear. all right, martha, thank you. we move on to that testimony on capitol hill. fbi director james comey rocking the white house with his rebuke of trump's wiretapping claims and revealing for the first time his investigation into the trump campaign and russia. overnight the president did his best to ignore the bombshell at a rally in kentucky. abc's cecilia vega was there. she joins us now from louisville, good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. that's right. the president here during that rally overnight. you know, in the past he has been very vocal on this dismissing questions about russian ties to his campaign as fake news but fbi director james comey did confirm that this investigation is, indeed, very real. president trump on the campaign trail rallying supporters in kentucky overnight. >> this place is packed. >> reporter: a 40-minute speech covering just about everything. >> we are going to drain the swamp, we are going to massively reduce your taxes. we are going to put our coal miners back to work. >> reporter: everything other than the story of the day, the fbi's investigation into russia and his campaign and those wiretapping claims. >> director comey -- >> reporter: that extraordinary scene playing out on capitol hill, fbi director james comey testifying before congress waiting right into the middle of the president's allegations by flatly refuting them. >> i have no information that supports those tweets and we have looked carefully inside the fbi. the department of justice asked me to share the answer is the same for the department of justice and all its components. >> so president obama could not unilaterally order a wiretap of anyone. >> no president could. >> reporter: that's not all. for the first time comey publicly acknowledging that the fbi is investigating ties between russia and the trump campaign. >> the fbi as part of our counterintelligence mission is investigating the russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the trump campaign and the russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and russia's efforts. >> reporter: that inquiry on going and classified. under investigation but did offer this explanation for russia's interference. >> putin hated secretary clinton so much, that the flip side of that coin was he had a clear preference for the person running against the person he hated so much. >> reporter: he said the russians made no attempt to cover their tracks. >> the only thing i'd add they were unusually loud in their intervention. it's almost as if they didn't care that we knew what they were doing or what that they wanted us to see what they were doing. >> reporter: he offered this stark warning. >> they'll be back. they'll be back in 2020. they may be back in 2018 and one of the lessons they may draw they were successful because they introduced chaos and division and discord and so doubt about the nature of this amazing country of ours and our democratic process. >> reporter: yeah, this was a truly extraordinary moment. now, one other bombshell shot down during that testimony, the white house's suggestion that presen monitor the trump campaign. nsa director joining the chorus of those that called them ridiculous and nonsense. >> thank you. pierre thomas joins us now and, pierre, we just heard what cecilia said about yesterday. it was indeed extraordinary. >> reporter: robin, it really was. i was struck at how comey in refuting those tweets was speaking not only for the fbi but the entire justice department and pointed out neither of the two had any evidence to support trump's claims. in other words, to people who would know they said it did not happen. comey and justice officials showing their independence. >> tell people what we learned more about the trump campaign and possible livings with russian officials. >> reporter: the fbi and some prosecutors are clearly suspicious of the connections between trump associates and russian officials and while we don't know if anyone has done could be innocent, director comey was adamant he would follow this investigation wherever if leads but the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee said he hopes this investigation can be completed quickly because it has cast a big gray cloud over washington. robin. >> certainly has. all right, pierre. >> let's talk to jonathan karl right now and, jonathan, we just heard it there. double whammy for the white house, blows to the white house credible but the courthouse strategy trying to blow right by it. >> reporter: it's really quite incredible, george. you have the top law enforcement officials and top intelligence officials in the country saying that what the president said is simply not correct. that there is no evidence whatsoever to support it. and by standing by it, the white house is actually doing further damage to its credibility. you have the white house press secretary insulting our ally great britain and going through a series of statements the indefensible by making statements that re at the best most chairably dubious. >> you got into it with sean spicer yesterday. not only with the white house trying to deny contacts in the past but trying to distance themselves from those in the campaign who indeed had the cadges. let's watch. >> and then obviously there's been discussion of paul manafort who played a limited role for a very limited amount of time -- >> he was the chairman of the campaign. >> jonathan, can you stop interrupting? >> paul manafort didn't play a limited role. >> someone is asking a question. it's not your press briefing. please calm down. julie. >> you were correct, of course, paul manafort was the chairman before he left in the summer it appears now everybody who had these contacts with russia whether it was mike flynn or carter page or others is all being sort of set aside shunted ashied by the courthouse. >> reporter: sean spicer called mike flynn a volunteer for the ca george, as you know, he was the most high-profile national security adviser on the trump campaign. featured prime time speaker at the convention and as for paul manafort, he was there for five month, george. as you well know, he was in charge of that campaign. the chairman, the ceo, the person who put together and ran the convention. it's really ex-troird to hear the white house press secretary describe him as somebody with a very limited role. >> noise behind you right there. jon karl, thanks very much. the president heading to capitol hill to twist the arms of house republicans hoping to pass their plan later this week and our mary bruce is on capitol hill. how is speaker paul ryan announcing changes to the bill in a bid to get those voting. >> reporter: good morning, george. republican leaders think they're within reach. this morning they're bringing in closer, the president to help seal this deal. now, overnight republican leaders in the house released a series of changes that they are hoping will help win over those skeptical members of their own party. now, the tweaks include giving states more flexible to administer medicaid, boosting benefits for older americans and prohibiting taxpayer dollars for abortion coverage. they are now one step closer to keeping their promise to the american people and ending the obamacare nightmare. now, this morning we are seeing some members come around but the big question still remains, will these changes be enough to get this plan through? >> okay, mary bruce, thanks very much. >> another high-stakes hearing under way on capitol hill for president trump's supreme court nominee neal gorsuch who is bracing for tough questioning this morning. abc's terry moran covers the supreme court and is there right now. good morning, terry good morning good morning. well, so far it is a bright spot in some pretty dark times for president trump. he was bragging on his nominee last night in kentucky but today democrats are vowing to grill what they say is his corporate bias from the bench to the president's travel ban to the possibility one of them raised yesterday that he might have to rule on a criminal case involving the president and russia. judge gorsuch in his first congressional appearance was both personal and polished. >> i will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of this great nation. >> reporter: also paying tribute to his wife. >> i could not even attempt it do this without louise. i love you so much. >> but the pleasantries may be over. today he'll answer questions from democrats still fuming at gop obstruction of president obama's nominee. >> -- was never grounded in principle or precedent. >> reporter: and then there are trump's conservative campaign promises. >> president trump repeatedly promised that his judicial nominees would be pro-life and, quote, automatically end quote overturn roe v. wade. >> reporter: gorsuch didn't go there but hailed his predecessor staunch conservative justice antonin scalia who he described as a mentor. it was another recent loss that brought the supreme court nominee to tears. >> when we recently lost my uncle jack, a hero of mine and a lifelong episcopal priest he gave the benediction when i took an oath as a judge 11 years ago. i confess i was hoping he might offer a similar prayer soon. as it is, i know he is smiling. >> reporter: strong emotion there, mostly smooth sailing for neal gorsuch. but there's no question that he will get grilled today and democratic activists some of them are now calling for this nomination hearing to be halted until the fbi and congress get to the bottom of what happened if anything between russia and the trump campaign. robin. >> all right, terry, thank you. michael. >> we'll turn now to a massive eight-alarm fire tearing through an apartment building in kansas and damaging more than a dozen homes. those flames fueled by the dry conditions and alex perez is on the scene. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, michael. firefighters have been working through the night at one point officials here saying the scene looked like a war zone. now, take a look at some of the dramatic images overnight here. the blaze first igniting yesterday afternoon at this massive 579 complex still under construction outside of kansas city. those flames quickly spreading nearby. at least 17 other homes catching fire and damage. firefighters from across the area called in to battle the scorcher. authorities say summerlike hot, dry weather here combined with gusty winds helped this fire take off. now, three firefighters were cheated for minor injuries but the good news here this morning is that officials say this fire is mostly extinguished and under control. michael. >> glad no one got hurt. >> good news. now to amy wh starting with a terrifying plane crash and everyone survived. >> yes, they did. the video is incredible. a passenger jet burst into flames after crash landing and hitting a fire truck. look at that. this happened in south sudan, 49 people we on board and as robin said they all made it out alive. the pilot is being credited with finding the only door that wasn't on fire and then happening everyone escape. several passengers were injured but they are expected to be okay. back here at home a suspected gang member under arrest in the murder of two colorado teenagers. the bodies of 15-year-old derek greer and 16-year-old natalie partida were found on the side of a road in addition to first degree murder police say

it gets. bread, pasta, wine. i was not doing the mediterranean diet. >> mamma mia, no. all right. >> it didn't hurt you. >> just a little bit. >> i know. just a little extra running you had to do. ginger now with several fires burning across the plains. >> yes, so tulsa tied their record high at 92 yesterday and you can see that smoke devil that kicked up. the video of it that we have there.

>> well, police say a mexican newspaper editor helped himself to a five-finger discount that's arguably the most valuable nfl jersey in the world but that's not the most surprising part. the real stunner say police is that he's done this twice before at super bowls. >> nobody's ever won more super bowls, nobody's ever been better. >> reporter: moments after patriots great tom brady walked away with super bowl triumph authorities say new video shows a mild-mannered mexican journalist walking away with his game jersey. >> you put it in my bag. i absolutely 100% put it in my bag. did someone take my jersey. >> let someone at the door check every one of these media people. >> reporter: authorities in expectati mexico say the editor in chief of "la prensa," ortega say he strolled into the locker room behind coach bell lick. 14 minutes later authorities saying them ortega walked out with a black plastic bag he didn't have before and allegedly with a jersey valued at half a million dollars. >> want a cigar. >> somebody stole my jersey. >> it's like taking, you know, a great cha >> texas authorities not taking kindly to the alleged theft. >> don't come to texas and embarrass us on our home turf. >> reporter: houston police investigated 20,000 credential visitors scoured hours of surveillance tape and eventually landed on ortega. they launched a march 12th raid saying they found not only brady's super bowl li jersey but his jersey from super bowl xlix and also in his stolen memorabilia collection denver bronco von miller's mvp helmet from the super bowl in 2016. >> we tried to find him at the newspaper where he used to work, "la prensa," but learned he doesn't work here anymore. that's because two days after all that memorabilia was confiscated he resignation citing family health problems. miller telling us overnight there's so much going on after a super bowl win. >> it took me a year to reel lyle mize helmet has been missing and so it can get hectic after the super bowl. >> reporter: in a statement brady thanked law enforcement but he doesn't have those precious jerseys back yet. their authenticity is still being confirmed. as for ortega, no charges so he is still a free man and people close to him say he was a football fanatic. paid his own way to the super bowls and was probably much more likely to keep that memorabilia than to try to sell it. michael. >> all right, thank you, matt. let's bring in dan abrams and fox sports jay glazer who covered the super bowl with me in houston. he also broke the story and good morning to you, jay. good morning to you, dan. jay, my first question for you, you covered the super bowl and broke the story. were you doingou investigation? >> yeah, i was doing an investigation. i've been working on this for a couple of weeks, stra and it is amazing. if i tried to sell you this hollywood script you would have laughed me out of the room. the last thing you'd ever think it was a director from one of the biggest papers in mexico using his credential and just had this unfolded. i first broke it at 5:00 pacific time yesterday and kind of different ways. as the day went on i didn't know the von miller part until i broke the original part and probably about two hours after that and then we have this video and once i confirmed who he was but you had to make sure without a doubt, and we skewed the video at first on fox and, you know, as the day unfolded ainge you started hearing more and more of these bizarre twists and turns, you don't mean, i got to make sure i'm 100% all the time no matter what but dealing with enforcement down in mexico, you're dealing with nfl security, patriots security. they did so much work on this as well. there were so many different is to dot and ts to cross in order for me to make sure that it was 100% right. >> but, jay, you mentioned you didn't know there was a second brady jersey and von miller helmet. no one knew about this until they found the first jersey. what was he planning on doing with it? >> it's going to be interesting. they're bringing it back to give back to brady. i know they are authenticating from dna testing and make sure it was all right. they went down to mexico and were authenticating them down there. now i know they're bringing them back here to return them as well. from what i understand there's more than just those three, there are pictures of this guy with selfies at super bowls all the way back to when you played in your super bowl, stra, you sure you have your jersey. >> i'm 100% sure smart enough to let my friends take it out. i learned my lesson pretty early. we've seen a few clips. is there more video on the way? >> yeah, i'm going to show more video later on fox and a few shows there. you know, once we fully understood what we were looking at, again, fox, we did the super bowl and had so many cameras in so many different placing and then throughout the night we've been going back and looking at more of the video we've had as well but i again, i've beening there through this for the last couple of weeks. for something like this dealing with law enforcement and dealing with fbi issues which it is because you're talking about stolen property at a very high value not only over tate lines but international lines as well. i had to make sure that i was beyond 100% right. still mind boggling. >> and dan brought up a valuable jersey, and for you by one estimate someone valued it at half a million dollars. yes you said not so the value of the jersey is critical to this case. >> absolutely critical and as a legal matter, a court may say, well, we don't know it's worth half a million dollars. it costs $200 to make and maybe it's worth $200. that's the difference between a misdemeanor and a an enormous felony in texas. that's the difference in arizona in the first case between the statute of limitations having expired on a misdemeanor and a possible felony where you could still charge him so determining the amount of the jersey is going to be a critical issue that will be fought over before any other legal proceedings move forward. >> you know, chagalle and picasso. it will be interested that he will be extradited as well. >> u.s. has an extradition treaty with mexico if it's over 25 bucks mexico is supposed to extradite but they're going to be arguments he could make against extradition ranging from this is so high-profile a case it never would have been pursued otherwise. we'll see. government not so happy with donald trump these days. >> all right, thank you, dan abrams. jay glazer, thank you as well. a long way from over. we'll keep our eye on this. coming up, new surveillance video of that teacher accused of kidnapping a student. what we're learning now about their relationship. ♪ at almond breeze, we only use california-grown blue diamond almonds in our almondmilk. it's something we're proud of. knowing exactly where every almond comes from. but the whole "care-and-nurturing-making- sure-they-grow- up-just-right" part?
