speaking out in a rare interview about keeping his father's legacy alive. how he's following in his dad's footsteps and what life is like now for the jackson children revealed here only on "gma." good morning, america. it is a monday packed with news and, robin, you have that big exclusive with prince michael eo his own. ion is trump requested by fbi direcstor on officials say is a huge orders of president obama to go oversaw candidate or ag program he united states is happened, martha -- >> if, if, if. >> i agree. >> reporter: there was no if in the president's twitter messages rather that the wiretaps actually did happen. quote, terrible, just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower just before the victory. nothing found. this is mccarthyism. he has unlimited access to the country's greatest secrets as president but it seems increasingly clear he instead relied heavily on questions raised in a fox news report friday night. >> are you concerned on the flip side that the obama administration may have been surveilling members of the trump campaign. >> reporter: on the conservative breitbart website which friday highlighted a conspiracy loving radio talk show host, mark levin. >> how many of trump's people were eavesdropped on, how many had their conversations intercepted, recorded, transcribed, because this, ladies and gentlemen, is the big scandal. >> reporter: a spokesman for former president obama joined the chorus of those calling the president's allegations false. his former white house national security aide ben rhodes responded, no president can order a wiretap. those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you. if trump were to be right that there was a wiretap, it would also mean the fbi felt it had developed enough evidence of collusion between the russians and the trump campaign to actually get a special panel of judges, not the white house, to approve a wiretap, george and robin. >> as we know the fbi director james comey is firing back against the president's claims and asking the justice department to set the record straight. our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas joins us from washington. pierre, why is james comey taking this step of challenging the president? >> reporter: sources tell me comey believes that what president trump tweeted was misleading and inaccurate and all but suggested the bureau acted improperly. protecting the integrity of the fbi is a huge issue for comey and looks like he's laying down the marker. >> the director of the fbi going head-to-head with the president of the united states. how does this play out, pierre. >> reporter: in potentially explosive. you're talking about two strong-whiched men. depending ow trump reacts he may find out how fiercely independent comey can be. attorney general jeff sessions just recused himself from having anything to do with the investigation into the 2016 campaign including russian influence. so, comey will likely have to deal directly with the acting deputy attorney general, he's waiting for an answer. comey is the man who stood up to george w. bush's white house when he felt they were operating a surveillance program that was not constitutional and faced a firestorm for reowing the hillary clinton e-mail investigation just days before the election. when comey thinks he's right he's shown he's prepared for withering scrutiny and political heat. we'll find out soon if comey and the president can co-exist, robin. >> you mention the attorney general recusing himself. how do you feel that will factor in? >> reporter: well, it's complicated because you have an acting deputy attorney general who will probably be consulting the career people about what to do. no one knows how this will turn out. >> pierre, thank you. george. okay, thanks, robin. we're joined from the white house by sarah huckabee sanders spokesperson for the president. thank you for joining us this morning. so, we now know that the fbi director has told the justice department that president trump's explosive claims are inaccurate. does president trump accept the fbi director's denial? >> you know, i don't think he does, george. i think he firmly believes this is a story line that has been reported pretty widely by quite a few outlets. the wiretapping has been discussed in "the new york times," bbc, fox news and we believe that -- >> sarah, i have to stop you. sarah, i have got to stop you right there. every single article you just mentioned does not back up the president's claim that president obama had him wiretapped. not a single one of those articles backs that up. so, what is the president's evidence? >> it does back up the fact that the administration was wiretapping american citizens. there was wide reporting sugg t suggesting his administration whether directly ordered by this president specifically his administration could have done -- >> sarah, i have to stop you again. no, sarah, i have to stop you. that is simply not true. all the articles you just mentioned not one says president trump ordered a wiretap. >> president obama. >> one of them based on anonymous sources say there might have been a court ordered fisa wiretap, that has been denied by the former director of national intelligence, james clapper. >> look i love how anonymous sources don't matter. we've been dealing with them and having to fight back against that for the last six months. it's funny how the media -- >> hold on a second. even if that one is true, even if that one is true that is saying there was a court ordered wiretap, not an illegal wiretap ordered by president obama. >> look, it would have been under this administration, george. you don't get to just wash your hands of something whether it's the justice department under which you control, which would have fallen under this administration and under this past president. i think the bigger question here is let's let the house intelligence -- >> sarah, that is simply not true. >> they committed over the weekend -- >> hold on a second. that is not true. there is a world of difference between an illegal wiretap ordered by a president and court ordered wiretap approved by a federal judge. there is a world of difference between those two things. >> the fact that it was being done is a story that we should be talking about, george. and all we're asking is that we let congress do its job. let's let the house intelligence committee review this, investigate it as they committed to do over the weekend. look, there have been a constant allegations -- the hypocrisy on this is absolutely outrageous. we have dealt with for the last six months where "the new york times" calls this story false. the fbi cops out and says it's bs. the house intelligence committee says there's no evidence yet the people in the media continue to report a false narrative that there are connections between the trump campaign and the russians when there simply aren't. all we're asking is the same fair deal that the house intelligence committee is given the opportunity to investigate, review this and see if there's anything there. which we believe there is. >> it is not a fact that this has been done. you do not know this is a fact it's been done and that has been denied by president obama, the former director of national intelligence and know it as well by the fbi director. they are all saying it did not happen. so is the president calling all through of those individuals liars? >> not at all. he's asking that we allow the house intelligence committee to do its job. the same way we have done on our situation is very interesting, george, how when this past president says it's false, everybody is like, oh, well, obviously it is. but when we've been saying it for the last six months nobody believes it. frankly, george, i think if the president walked across the potomac the media would report he can't swim. this is a constant battle we're having to fight. all we're asking is that the double standard be washed away and we allow the congressional committee to do their job. >> sarah, the president made these allegations 48 hours ago. has he called the fbi director since he made those allegations and ked if they were true? investigate and do a f himself d true. has he donenow. >> but bottom line the pi. ms.he does not accep wants the a what a felony, e we're all rel could go ask t prove administration's wiretap. right? we're -- >> explain the difference between the two kinds of wiretaps. >> first let's talk about the fact that it's the same fbi director, right, who is there now who was there before so the obama administration fbi guy is the trump administration fbi guy right now. and that's the same guy who did the hillary clinton investigation who many people believe sent out a letter that harmed hillary clinton's campaign. if that's the obama administration doing that, that seems pretty odd. now, when we're talking about investigations we talked a lot about this fisa court, right? that's the question is did the fisa court approve it. a fisa court is a foreign intelligence gathering court, that's all they do. they don't investigate crimes and you need some level of proof, you need to be able to prove probable cause in order to get that kind of warrant. >> even the former director of national intelligence saying that didn't happen. >> interesting you said comey is the fbi director right now and you are chief white house correspondent. you have been seeing all this come down today. what's your take? >> look, i think comey is an absolutely untenable situation. he has come out now privately played out on the front pages of "the new york times" and private request to the justice department to publicly refute this claim. apparently the justice department has not gone along with that. remember, the attorney general has recused himself so it would go to the acting deputy attorney general, but, look, if they are not going to come out what is comey going to do? is he going to come out himself on his own unilaterally or is he going to resign? it seems to be that big an issue. as i understand it the way this request went from comey from the justice department was, making the case that this claim undermines the very credibility of the fbi and the justice department to have the public think they would do something like this. he wants this refuted >> that's it right there. oh, by the way the travel ban. we would have been talking about that more so than we are right now but it is as expected a nun one to come out any time. >> this is big and told it will come out this morning. a new travel ban. i'm told it will replace the old travel ban. it's going to be narrowed, a little less chaotic, it will not apply to permanent legal residents, it's also only going to apply to six predominantly muslim countries. iraq no longer on the list. >> one other question from this weekend, it certainly appears from all of our reporting the president in kind of autely out tracking those missilesnd launches landing in the to show progress by president trump has vowed t them. but right now,over the weekend iraq. both the u.n. and the red cross say isis appears to have used a chemical agent in mosul. more than a dozen people have already shown symptoms, mostly women and children. if confirmed the attack would constitute a war crime. well, chicago just spent six days without a single murder. that is the longest period without a murder in more than four years. there have also been fewer murders so far this year than at this point last year. and new video showing a tractor trailer violently look at that jackknifing at high speed across four lanes of traffic in houston. incredibly there are no reports of injuries and not a single other vehicle was hit. and finally history will be made at this year's national spelling bee. that's because look at this little one. edith fuller will be there. she is just 5 years old and she will be the youngest person to ever reach the national event. edith is homeschooled. she beat more than 50 other kids to win the regional competition this weekend in tulsa. her winning word requires a pronouncer for me. it means path of knowledge and i love what she said when she realized she won. a 5-year-old, i feel thankful. amazing. >> we're all floored. >> i know. incredible. so can't wait to watch and see how far she goes. >> incredible. threat in the central u.s. andross, it's light industries brought to on storm tracker 6 le temperatur higte. sunny and 63 friday. week.n, prince michael jackson is allergies with nasal congestion?

>> so, there are a number of scams out there. the top three, employment scams, these are scams where you're hired on the spot. you think you've gotten a job on the spot. they tend to ask you for money up frouptsz and say it's for training purposes. never fall for that one. check scams. these are fake check scams oftentimes they're overpayments, right? so they'll come to you and say, oh, we accidentally put too much money into your check. would you wire us back an amount. this oftentimes happens if you're an online seller and sell stuff online. i've heard about it happening to a number of small businesses and then home improvement scams. these happen oftentimes after big storms. the storm chasers come out and go door-to-door and say, hey, i'm here to deliver you service. i can give you a low, low rate. it tends to be not that low rate that they're offering. >> taking advantage of people when vulnerable like that. >> and they give any advice on what people can do. >> we saw this a lot during hurricane sandy, unfortunately, it is, robin, like you said when people are most vulnerable. look out for cash only deal. if they offer a deal and say the only way we can deliver this to your home is cash only. consider walking the other way. high up front payments. give us all the money up front we'll do the work afterwards. they have trust that deal. you want to work with somebody who is going to accept money along the way as they complete the job and then finally, the handshake deals. sadly a lot of this happens when these people will go door-to-door and the scammers will go door-to-door in neighborhoods after one of these terrible incidents hike a hurricane sandy, they'll go door-to-door, handshake only. you want a contract and you want to ask around 9 neighborhood. what was your experience like, ask for references always in these cases. >> all right, rebecca, thank you as always. next up prince harry is sparking royal wedding fever. over the weekend he and his girlfriend actress meghan markle spotted at his best friend's wedding in jamaica. a lot of people are now wondering if they will be next to walk down the aisle. robert jobson joins us. what is the word on the treat there, robert?

>> yeah, there's a few traditionalists out there causing a little critics in the newspapers saying really because she's a divorcee and maybe her profession is not suitable for a royal bride that she's not the right type. but things have moved on really in that respect from the times of 1955 when princess margaret was effectively banned from marrying her love, peter townsend a divorcee or abdication crisis of '36. the monarch has moved on. prince charles and camilla are the next. if prince harry wants to marry megan, no reason why he shouldn't. >> people seem confident and bookies taking bets on everything, aren't they, robert?
