the judges at westminster, taking top dog and now he's here live. only on "gma." ♪ back again we do say good morning, america. great to have you all with us on this valentine's day and you know who was feeling the love last night, in like flynn. yes, top dog at the westminster kennel club. >> he's a bichon frise, only the second time his breed has won best in show. 5-year-old flynn beat out nearly 3,000 other dogs for the award. he and his handler are here live. we'll see if we can get a word or two out of flynn so he can tell us how he did it in that would be a story. we'll begin with that new scandal rocking the white house. the president's lawyer now admits he personally paid stormy daniels, the porn star who said she had an affair with donald trump. he said it happened weeks before the 2016 vote, campaign watchdogs call that an illegal campaign contribution and an official investigation under way and tom llamas is tracking all the latest. >> reporter: good morning. we've just learned as you mentioned the s.e.c. has been asked to look into an illegal campaign contribution possibly involving the trump campaign. that alone is serious enough but the money in question is an alleged payoff by one of the president's most loyal allies to a porn star to keep her quiet about an alleged affair she had with president trump years ago. this morning, a stunning admission from president trump's longtime personal attorney, lawyer michael cohen admits to paying $135,000 of his own money to pornographic film actress stormy daniels. the woman who says she had an affair with donald trump in 2006 at a lake tahoe golf tournament years before he became president but just months after melania trump had given birth to their son baron. neither the trump organization nor the trump campaign was a party to the transaction with ms. clifford and neither reimbursed me for the payment either directly or indirectly. cohen said in a statement, the payment to ms. clifford was lawful and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone. cohen did not say whether trump knew he made the payments. reports of an alleged affair between daniels and president trump resurfaced after a "wall street journal" report alleged that she was paid $130,000 just before the election and there was a transcript of a 2011 interview with dams which she said trump then a reality tv star invited her to his suite where they later this sex and the president promised her a role on "apprentice" and daniels saying it lasted about a year. >> is any of that true? >> define true. >> reporter: the adult entertainment star refused to break her silence when she appeared on "jimmy kimmel live" following the tarantino. >> do you have a nondisclosure agreement? >> do i? >> you can't say whether you have one but if you didn't have a nondisclosure agreement you could certainly say i don't have a nondisclosure agreement. >> you're so smart. >> reporter: in the months leading up to the election jacob wiseberg was working on breaking the stormy daniels story but that happened just before the payment occurred. he felt she was telling the truth because her story was so detailed and had friends who could corroborate parts of that story and reached out to the white house for comment but so far have not heard back. >> as you said michael cohen, one of the longest serving aides, why did he make the payment. how could president trump not know? >> we do know, michael cohen was one of the closest people outside his relatives to donald trump and his office was steps away from president trump's at trump tower. he didn't have an official role in the campaign but he was known as the pit bull. he would take care of problems for president trump outside of the campaign. he would go after reporters on cable news and threaten lawsuits, a very tough customer, we'll see what happens. >> right before the election. >> see how the white house responds. shaun white celebrating that huge win soaring to gold winning team usa's 100th gold medal at the winter games but in the height of that white facing new questions about past accusations and amy, you know, is there in south korea for us and has all the latest. >> that's right, good morning. yes, resurfacing allegations about three-time olympic gold medalist shaun white threaten to overshadow his nearly perfect performance on the halfpipe, the 31-year-old trying to take in the glory of the day while at the same time deflecting questions about a settled lawsuit from 2016. >> and the score is in. >> reporter: the snow king overcome with emotion. >> shaun white takes the gold. >> reporter: shaun white crying tears of gold just moments after this nearly perfect routine sealed the deal. >> one more hit. will it be enough? >> reporter: seamlessly soaring through the sky right into the history books and that event giving the united states its 100th gold medal ever in the winter games. white taking to instagram writing, this is the most amazing day of my life. the united states champ showing off his gravity-defying moves. >> shaun white puts down a megarun. >> reporter: white's final run, a risky and near flawless routine. >> shaun white for the gold. >> reporter: the risks didn't pay off for earn. japan's to ssuka slamming his h into the halfpipe. they say he is not severely injured and white hurt during practice last fall recovering from this nasty collision requiring 62 stitches nailing that same move for wednesday's sweet victory. the ultimate reward after a long four-year road to redemption, the superstar failing to medal in sochi placing fourth in his event. now, the 31-year-old is the first snowboarder to ever win three olympic goals. white told me before he competed he visualized winning that third gold medal enbelieved it and today he certainly achieved it. as for those allegations against him my colleague matt gutman and i were both at his press conference where i along with several other women raised our hands to have a question only men were called on and magnitude was among them and, matt, you certainly asked the question of the hour. >> and you know, amy, shaup white should have expected that question would come. he probably did expect it. yet, when i asked him about those sexual misconduct allegations, he seemed to be caught off guard and when i pressed him about it, he said that he was there only to talk about the olympics and not, quote, gossip. >> shaun white takes the gold. >> reporter: just hours after shaun white wept and pumped his fierros in triumph following his nearly perfect history-making run, the four-time olympian on the defense after sexual misconduct allegations against the snowboarder resurfaced. in 2016 lena zawaideh who had been in white's band bad things for over five years filed a lawsuit claiming white sexually harassed other and sent her sexually explicit note tos and forced her to watch sexually disturbing videos and enforced a authoritarian management style. white's lawyers have always denied her claims. shaun, over the past couple of days the sexual harassment allegations by lena zawaideh have resurfaced. are you concerned that they're going to tarnish your legacy? >> you know, honestly i'm here to talk about the olympics, not gossip so -- but i don't think so. i am who i am, and i'm proud of who i am and my friends, you know, love me and vouch for me and i think that's -- stands on its own. >> so you're saying the allegations against you are gossip? >> i think we're here to talk about the gold medal and the amazing day we had today. >> i'd like it to addressed a little bit. >> like i said i think we're here to talk about the gold medal -- >> i feel like i addressed it. >> reporter: overnight snowboarding officials did not take a question from a single female journalist including christine brennan. >> i understand he would rather not talk about it but i don't know that he gets to make this call. this me too movement is a significant, important part of american culture right now. and he now is in it. >> reporter: now, back in 2016 white said that those allegations of psychological and sexual misconduct that lasted for years were dredged up to craft a bogus lawsuit against him, but white has never denied actually sending those techs and we've seen them in the complaint against him and they are incredibly graphic. amy. >> all right, matt gutman, thank you. the other big story here in pyeongchang today, the weather. it was so windy here today that olympic organizers had to close public areas of the olympic park urging people to stay inside. we all got alerts on the phones. high winds forcing the women's slalom event to be postponed until friday. let's take a look at the latest medal count, team usa with a total of seven medals, four gold, germany with the most, they have seven gold so far. guys, we'll send it back to you. it is never short of drama here in pyeongchang. >> it's the olympics. >> now back to the white house where the scandal over how top officials handled domestic abuse officials against top aide rob porter continues to grow. in dramatic testimony the fbi director flatly corrected the white house story line jeopardizing the job of chief of staff john kelly. cecilia vega is tracking all the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that white house story has been shifting for days and we are still nowhere closer to knowing who knew what and when. it was their go-to line for days. >> the process for the background was ongoing. >> his background investigation was ongoing. >> reporter: the white house repeatedly insisting the investigation into former staff secretary rob porter was still open and that's why he stayed on the job despite domestic abuse allegations which he denies. the fbi conducting that investigation now says that's not the case. director christopher wray told the senate intelligence committee his agents actually gave the white house four reports on porter as far back as last spring and that's not all. >> we administratively closed the file in january. >> reporter: facing repeated questions about the contradiction, press secretary sarah sanders now blames a little-known white house office, the white house personnel security office. >> they had not completed their process and made a recommendation to the white house for adjudication. >> reporter: but just a day earlier. >> this is a process that isn't -- doesn't operate within the white house. >> reporter: from the president himself, still no mention of the women. >> mr. president, do you believe rob porter's ex-wives? do you believe rob porter's ex-wife, mr. president? >> does the president believe the women? >> again, the president takes all of these accusations very seriously. he believes in due process. >> reporter: chief of staff john kelly at the center of the firestorm reportedly having known about the allegations for months tells "the wall street journal" he wouldn't have handled the situation differently saying, quote, it was all done right. is the white house still maintaining john kelly really had no idea about these allegations of domestic abuse until the story broke. >> i can only give you the best information i have and that's my understanding. >> reporter: rob porter was working on a temporary clearance and jared kushner among them. the president's own director of national intelligence is now sounding the alarm saying anyone with a temporary security clearance should have limited access. >> kelly facing something of a colonel's coup inside the white house. stunning quotes in "the washington post" from white house aides. one saying kelly is a big, fat liar. to put it in terms the general would understand his handling of the porter scandal amounts to a dereliction of duty and added it's simply not in the white house dna to be transparent and truthful. that's from white house aides, cecilia. >> reporter: yeah, we know president trump himself has been increasingly frustrated with general john kelly and talking about possible replacements and john kelly recently expressed a willingness to resign if the president wanted that. there is a short list now moving towards the top is gary cohn, the president's chief economic adviser. >> more than a week into the scandal. thanks. rust already targeting this we're midterm elections and pierre thomas has more in washington and, pierre, this warning comes as we know millions prepare to head to the polls later this year. >> reporter: robin, good morning. i've covered a lot of hearings but this certainly was not business as usual. the nation's top intelligence officials had a stark warning about the upcoming congressional midterm elections. the russians are coming again. the director of national intelligence was incredibly blunt saying the united states is under attack and the cia director said the u.s. is already uncovered evidence of russians targeting the upcoming elections and, robin, abc news learned the russians plan to not only use social media to sow discord through fake new by a probing state elections systems to see if they can be infiltrated. sobering day on capitol hill. now to those rescues in oregon. first responders racing against time in dangerous conditions to save climbers stuck on mt. hood. abc's kayna whitworth has the latest. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning. so there were seven climbers in two separate groups in desperate need of help atop oregon's highest peak and with this weather moving in, all this wind and snow it was a race against time. the original call came from from a group of four after a climber they were with fell 750 feet. the oregon national guard sent up a black hawk helicopter while fellow climbers performed chest compressions on him. sadly he died after being air life lifted to the hospital. meanwhile there were another group of climbers stranded. more than 40 ascended and this snowcat brought down two of the climbers off the mountain. another one had to be brought down in a sled after some 17 hours on that mountain. it was just a terrible and deadly day, michael. >> all right, thank you so much, kayna. you can see from the video with her standing there the weather is treacherous for the rescue. we

is that true or false? >> interesting. okay, this is false and we have to remember, you might wind up with clean clothes but it's not going to kill the influenza virus. the best way to protect yourself by far is getting the flu vaccine. we've spoken to the cdc. they haven't crunched this data yet for this season but in past seasons 80% of pediatric deaths have occurred in children who were unvaccinated. so, it doesn't give you the flu. there is still time to get vaccinated and even though it's not that effective it is the best protection we have. cleaning your clothes will keep the laundry business happy but it's not going to kill the flu. >> rakoya got it right. because you have something, a remedy you say every morning you give your son omega-3 to keep him from getting sick. is that true or false. can omega-3 keep you from getting the flu? true or false. >> true or false? >> wow. >> okay. >> one false at the end. >> sorry, guys, this is false. there are some reports that it does not occur in peer reviewed, you know, conclusive literature that omega-3s can help but not influenza yet. not ready for primetype. talk about risk/benefit will it do significant harm, probably not but also is unlikely to really do any significant benefit. you keep going down to those questions. >> 50/50. this is the tiebreaker. the tiebreaker. all right. true or false, skipping playdate, parties and even vacation can help limit exposure to the flu? true or false? >> all right. not bad. this one is actually true. now, we don't want people to live in a plastic bubble but obviously if you reduce the frequency of contact with other people a lot of whom may have the flu, be contagious or infectious and not know it you can lower your risk. that doesn't mean if you keep your child out of playdates for the next two months they won't get the threw. they did very well on that. >> thank you, our panel of experts. we want to mention you have to do what you think is right. want to mention a special event. women's day celebrated the 15th annual red dress awards honoring those who made significant contributions to heart health awareness and look at this. this year's honoree. dr. jennifer ashton. "woman's day." you are extremely -- >> i share that with my colleagues at abc news and "good morning america" because we are so committed to raising awareness about women's heart health and share it with you. big strong team behind us here and purchases that take this serious so -- >> who has a bigger heart this you. congratulations. >> congrats dr. jen. you both look fantastic in red by the way. best in show valentine's themed. they're celebrating by asking their animals in this animal sanctuary if they would be their valentine with a rose. some accepting. some saying i dig it. some saying that would be a tasty snack. don't put those in the vase. get that between your teeth that beats parsley. enjoy your valentine's day. remember your animals on this special holiday let's get a check of your local forecast. >> i don't know if your date eats the rose. what does that say?
