Fans on social media sending her hopes for a quick recovery. Abcs Senior National correspondent terry moran joins us from washington with more. Terry, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, whit. This morning, Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg remains at Johns Hopkins hospital in baltimore. She was admitted friday night. She experienced chills and fever during the day. The justice was transferred to Johns Hopkins in baltimore from a hospital in washington where she was originally taken earlier friday. The court said the transfer was for, quote, further evaluation, and treatment of any possible infection. At hopkins she was given iv fluids and antibiotics. Were told shes expected to be released as early as this morning. Shes 86 years old. She has successfully battled Health Issues for years, from colon cancer in 1999, to getting pancreatic cancer ten years later. She had a stent put in, and she fractured three ribs a year ago. In december last year she underwent surgery for lung cancer. Then earlier this year had radiation for pancreatic cancer. For all that i can tell you Justice Ginsburg remains active on the court. I saw her at oral arguments at the Court Earlier this month. She was a sharp, even intimidating questioner during those arguments. Still very active on the court. And terry, this latest health scare, a lot of people watching this very closely. The repercussions could be significant if she has to step down. Reporter huge. President trump has had two nominees. Its a 54 majority on the Supreme Court for conservatives. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell said he and his Senate Republican colleagues will confirm any nominee that comes to the court. Thats up until the end of this, and even if democrats win the senate next november, a year from now, and thats a big if. The republicans in the senate would confirm any nominee if theres an opening until january of 2021 when the next congress would take over. Guys . Terry moran live for us in washington. Thank you. Eva . Now to politics and impeachment. The president s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani speaking out, facing questions about whether he could be indicted in a federal case. Abcs david wright has more from the white house. Good morning to you, david. Reporter good morning, eva. Giuliani had been keeping a fairly low profile. Even though his name kept popping up in the impeachment hearings, well, that changed with this interview in which he told fox news hes unafraid. Think im afraid . I dont know. You think i get afraid . I did the right thing. I represented my client in a very, very effective way. Reporter americas mayor also insisted hes not afraid his client, president trump, might let him take the fall for ukraine. Ive seen things written like hes going to throw me under the bus. When they say that, i say he isnt, but i have insurance. Reporter giuliani clarified in a tweet he was being sarcastic. Two of giulianis associates are under indictment. Charged with funneling foreign money into u. S. Elections. Igor fruman and lev parnas were arrested at Dulles Airport with oneway tickets to europe. They had had lunch with giuliani hours earlier. One of the two is cooperating with the house impeachment inquiry and claiming to have had a clandestine meeting with trump about ukraine at a hanukkah party. Not true says giuliani. Hes trying to make himself important. We never had that meeting with the president. He just made it up. Reporter the former mayor has a reputation for bluster, as former National Security adviser john boltons former deputy testified this past week. In the course of that discussion said Rudy Giuliani was a hand grenade that was going to blow everyone up. Did you understand what he meant by that . I did, actually. Reporter giuliani shot back at bolton during this interview. For john to say im a hand grenade, well, then hes an atomic bomb. Reporter giuliani denied reports hes profiting from ukraine policy saying he has no financial interest there whatsoever. He insists everything hes done in ukraine has been to defend the president. As for joe biden, he calls him a liar and hes now seeking visas for three ukrainian witnesses to come to the u. S. To testify against biden. Whit . David wright for us at the white house. Thank you. Now to the democratic president ial field growing larger this morning as former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg makes it official, announcing he is running for president. Abcs rachel scott has more. Reporter this morning, former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg announcing hes in the race for president. Jobs creator, leader, problem solver, Mike Bloomberg for president. Im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Reporter dropping more than 37 million on a tv ad campaign, the largest in the 2020 Campaign Cycle so far. My staff just told me that mayor bloomberg is going to put millions of dollars in ads tomorrow. No, im not. Reporter they will air in several key states. I understand that rich people are going to have more shoes than the rest of us. Theyre going to have more cars than the rest of us, and more houses, but they dont get a bigger share of democracy. Reporter in the fight to beat president trump, sources close to bloomberg say hes concerned no one in the field can get the job done, and if he opts in, he not only thinks he can, but hes willing to spend as much money as it takes to do it. Democrats are firing back, accusing the billionaire of trying to buy the election. He has very little grassroots support. Democracy means that billionaires cannot buy elections. Reporter at this point in the race, some undecided voters were hoping the crowded field would narrow down by now. A lot of them have similar positions. So its really hard. We have candidates out there that are good. Dont need anyone else in the race. Reporter and bloomberg will have to win over undecided voters like those, but he does not need their cash. He plans to selffund his campaign. He never accepted a single that are in political contributions according to his campaign adviser, and he does not plan on starting now, tom. Completely selffunded. All right, rachel scott. On that point, lets bring in george stephanopoulos. Hes our chief anchor, and hell be hosting this week later this morning. He doesnt need their cash. I think thats an understatement. Hes going to spend north of 37 million this week alone. The other campaigns are attacking him, they would love to have that financial freedom, but theres a real danger here. Jeb bush sort of did the same thing. He raised this war chest, and it bought him little support. I have to start off by saying this is unlike anything we have seen before in president ial politics. Hes worth at least 50 billion. We have reported hes going to spend in his first week alone, 37 million or 38 million alone. Its probably more than that. What hes trying to do is basically turn march 3rd, super tuesday into a national primary. Youre exactly right. Does money guarantee support in absolutely not. Are there questions about whether Michael Bloomberg is a real democrat . Youll see those questions raised by other candidates, but i think what hes doing here is throwing out the rulebook with his bankbook and well see what happens going forward. This brings up my next question. The qualifications for the debate demand a certain amount of unique donors. He has one debate, himself. Does he go to the debate then . I dont think hell be in the first debate. I think in december after he gets in this week, i think thats unlikely. Remember his plan is to skip those first four states, iowa, New Hampshire, nevada and south carolina, make a big splash on super tuesday. Its a big gamble. Bloomberg and his team admit its a big gamble and what theyre banking on is the idea that democrats care more than anything else, about electability, and theyre looking to win. On impeachment briefly, george, we saw that Rudy Giuliani has reemerged and also this news that potentially one of his associates is working with some of the investigators in the impeachment. We saw a long week of testimonies, but this is still getting started. Absolutely. You have many more steps to go in impeachment. The Intelligence Committee has to write a report. The Judiciary Committee is considered articles of impeachment, and he has to go to the house floor, and if the house floor looks to impeach, and you have the senate trial which could go all the way into january or maybe february, and one of the Big Questions will be will new information come out during that time frame, and will new witnesses be compelled to testify . Americans deals with primaries and possible impeachment. Tune into this week later this morning. George breaks down the impeachment hearings with our expert legal panel, and he speaks with Amy Klobuchar fresh off her debate performance. Thats all coming up on this week. Eva . R. Kelly facing sex abuse charges. His girlfriend joycelyn savage going online sharing about their relationship. Abcs kaylee hurt tongue hartung with what shes saying this morning. Reporter this morning, a woman known for being one of r. Kellys girlfriends and publicly defending the disgraced musician, now saying shes one of his victims and ready to reveal her secret. Joycelyn savage is speaking out against kelly for the first time saying shes willing to risk it all on the website patreon. A paid membership platform. Patreon confirming someone by that name owns the account, but doesnt confirm its this savage. In her first post she details how kelly commanded her to call him master or daddy. While living together, she describes how it started getting worse day by day and says as one of his victims yes, victim ive seen more and heard more. Shes ready to tell the truth. Reporter overnight in another post on patreon, she says he told me i couldnt do anything without him knowing first. Its been three years since her parents have seen their daughter. Joycelyn, now 24, was 19 when she moved in with kelly. The divide in the family growing deeper as her parents alleged kelly brainwashed joycelyn and kept her against her will. Claims joycelyn fiercely denied until now. She came out with statements weve been saying for the last two and a half years. Its accurate. Reporter with robert in jail, does that give you any solace that she is safer than she was before he went to jail . I believe one of the primary reasons that she has the courage to speak up is because hes actually in jail. Reporter kelly is currently in jail awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing women and underaged girls. Hes been charged in multiple states and pleaded not guilty. Kellys criminal defense attorney discrediting joycelyns claims saying its unfortunate joycelyn now seeks to make money by exploiting her longtime loving relationship with robert. The savages dont know where their daughter currently is. They believe her efforts to share her stories are honest and they hope its the First Step Towards their reconciliation and her safe return home. Eva . All right, Kaylee Hartung for us.
