With all these deals, does it mean anything anymore. Absolutely. Last year on cyber monday amazon customers ordered more than 64 million items worldwide which is a record breaking 740 items per second.

That on time delivery is such a major issue. See all those toys we can buy for your son. Yes, i did. As long as they dont make too much noise. We move on to politics though and what could be a truly Troubling Development for the white house. News broke overnight involving Michael Flynn, the National Security adviser who was fired by President Trump as first reported by the New York Times and now confirmed by abc news, flynns lawyers have told the president s legal team that they can no longer discuss the russia investigation with him and cecilia vega is at the white house. Cecilia, good morning. Can you break this down for us. Reporter essentially a break in talks could be a sign that Michael Flynn is now cooperating with Robert Muellers investigation. Remember flynn, of course, was the president s shortlived National Security adviser. Hes a key target of muellers probe into whether there was collusion between the russians and the trump team during the campaign. If he is cooperating, hed really be able to pull back the curtain essentially on the early days of this administration. On the campaign. So the big question this morning, is the trump team, the white house nervous about this . A lawyer for the president says, look, this was expected. Its not an unexpected move but no one should draw any conclusions about this meaning that trump is working against the president but, dan, i mean as you know, certainly those are the conclusions that are being drawn this morning. Absolutely. Potentially a Major Development in this investigation, cecilia, while i have you, let me ask you about another piece of news this morning. A new apology from democratic senator al franken who has now been accused of groping four women. What is he saying . Reporter yeah, well, two women came forward to accuse them to accuse him, rather, of grabbing their backsides during political events when he was running for senate. The first time. Overnight he released a lengthy stiement and says basically hes met thousands of people and take photos at chaotic events and then says this, quote, im a warm person. I hug people. Some women have found my greetings or embraces for a hug or photo inappropriate and i respect their feelings about that. I feel terribly that ive made some women feel badly and for that i am so sorry an i want to make sure that never happens again. He also apologized, dan, to minnesotans and says he is committed to regaining their trust. We have not heard from him on camera since this scandal broke. Cecilia vega at the white house for us this morning. Cecilia, thank you. Paula, over to you. Doesnt sound like senator al franken is going to step down either. We want to turn to uma thurmans bombshell me too message to Harvey Weinstein. The kill bill star breaking her silence on the Sexual Assault allegations against the movie mogul and abcs Erielle Reshef has more. Erielle, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, paula. It wasnt the joyful thanksgiving post her fans may have been expecting. Actress uma thurman taking aim at Harvey Weinstein on instagram and telling her followers to stay tuned. This morning, uma thurman with strong words. I roared and i got bloody. Reporter the kill bill actress taking a page out of her own movie and delivering a cryptic but clear message to disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. Posting this photo from that movie he executive produced and writing, happy thanksgiving, everyone, except you, harvey and all your wicked con spirit tors. Im glad its going slowly. You dont deserve a bullet. The candid post coming just weeks after thurman became emotional on the red carpet when asked about the me too moment. Because i have learned i am not a child and i have learned that when ive spoken in anger, i usually regret the way i express myself. Reporter but did not elaborate any further. When im ready, ill say what i have to say. Reporter thurman has worked with weinstein on some of her biggest hits including the cult classic pulp fiction. But has remained silent as dozens of women have come out with claims that the embattled producer sexually harassed them. Now the oscar winner hinting she is ready to tell her story. And thurman added in her Instagram Post i said i was angry recently and i have a few reasons, metoo. In case you couldnt tell by the look on my face stay tuned. We have reached out to her representatives for additional comment. So far we have not heard back. Just from the tone of her voice sounds like she is ready. Forceful. Forceful. Erielle, thank you very much. Well switch gears to an amazing thanksgiving story. It involves a 2yearold boy who received a lifesaving kidney transplant a month after it was postponed due to his fathers parole but an anonymous donor came to the familys rescue and linsey davis is here with that. Good morning. You know, this story is about a kidney but where you feel it is all in your heart. In a controversial move last month little a. J.

Id go to the hospital right now and lay on the bed and give him my kidney.

Emory health care postponed the lifesaving operation saying in a letter the surgery would be put on hold until he could show evidence of compliance from his parole officer for the next three months. I dont understand what him being on parole has to do with him giving our son a kidney. This is a childs life were talking about.
