boxing superstar manny pacquiao loose to timothy bradley but no one of the three judges seems to know why. >> i have never been ashamed much to be associated with the sport of boxing as i am tonight. these people don't know how to score. >> sports fans screaming for justice. is there any truth to accusations of game tampering? and gaffes aplenty. obama, ramny, we're asking this morning what tees the shelf life of a gaffe? newsroom begins right now. good morning to you. i'm carol costello. good morning. a key member of possible's economic team is facing felony hit and run-charges this morning, and the details make this story even more odd. witnesses say commerce secretary john bryson hit a parked car, struck it again as he pulled away, app then hit a second car minutes later a few miles down the road. he was found passed out behind the wheel, but police say alcohol or drugs do not appear to be to blame. brianna keilar is at the white house. any comment? >> reporter: well, the white house is not commenting. they're directing us toward the comes more department which just is saying simply, carol, that secretary bryson was involved in traffic accident over the weekend in los angeles, he was taken to the hospital for examination, and has been released. he sustained no injuries and the investigation is ongoing. but this is john bryson. he is the commerce secretary, but as far as president obama's cabinet goes, he's a pretty low profile member of it. it's possible you never heard his name or didn't know who the commerce secretary was but the circumstances involving the series of accidents pretty bizarre. it happened saturday around 5:00 p.m. in the lamt area. the first accident in san ga gabrielgab gabri gabriel. he was in car, a lexus, and he hit a car that was stopped waiting for a train to pass. he hit a buick that had three men inside of it and actually got out, spoke to the men, but then he got back in his car, left, hitting the car again, according to the sheriff's department and driving off. those men got on the phone with san gabrielriel police, they followed bryson and this time the police, the sheriff's department, encountered bryson was in rosmy, california, the city next to san gabriel and he was unconscious and his car had apparently hit another car, a honda accord with a couple in it. no major injuries here. some of the folks were treated for minor injuries but it appears overall everyone is okay. but the circumstances are certainly very questionable and right now all we're hearing from the sheriff's department is that no drugs or chicago appear to be related preliminarily, but we're still awaiting the results of a blood alcohol test, carol. >> he's been taken to the hospital. has he been discharged? >> he was taken to the hospital. he has been leased. >> prea naki lore. i'm sure you'll stay on this story throughout the day. brianna keilar, live from the white house this morning. >> the former president of egypt hosni mubarak is in a full coma in a prison in cairo. just last week he was sentenced to life in prison for the illing can of pro-democracy demonstrators during last year's arab spring uprising. mubarak is 84 years old. his wife and sons were given permission to be at his bedside ja hundreds of coloradans are waiting in shelters praying that a runaway wildfire spares their homes. the fire has burned 20,000 acres west of ft. collins since saturday. the biggest challenge for firefighters, the fire is moving in more than one direction. the biggest fear for homeowners, what will be left. >> i can't imagine that my house is there right now, to be honest with you. i can't imagine that it is for how close the fire was and now i'm not going to have a home and i have no place to go. >> how erratic has this wildfire been? dozens had to evacuate one shelter when heavy smoke moved in. why is this fire going in all directions? >> let me lay the groundwork. we're talk 20g inches of rain right on the gulf coast. it's the an ticktithesis that's laying it. we're in an extreme drought, especially in northern colorado where we've seen this. the ground is parched, it is dry. atmospherically it's all come together. temperatures have been incredibly warm and, of course, the winds have been so high, gusting 40 miles an hour. actually yesterday they're trying to kill this fire by aircraft as well and they had to ground the planes because of the strong gusts. so it's been very windy. the good news weather-wising we're going to see a change in that. we're going to watch. the cold front has dropped south. that's good news. out of the 90s. into the 70s. also the strong winds we've seen in this area of colorado has come down as well and the dew points that have been very high, they're going to come down and will be in the teens. what we're going to see weather-wise kind of the perfect scenario for these fires. what we've also seen, this fire go from 2 to 20,000 acres since saturday alone. the gusts have been high. those are coming down. again, temperatures are coming down as well. and it's also, carro carol, a p populated area. it's not like this is in the middle of nowhere. weather-wise it will certainly get better in the next couple of days. >> alexandra steele. >> this morning robin roberts says she has a rare blood disorder as a result of her battle with breast cancer five years ago. >> as many of you know, five years ago i beat breast cancer and i've always been a fighter and you, your love, your support, your prayers helped me win that fight and that's something i will never, ever forget. now, sometimes treatment for cancer can lead to other serious medical issues, and that's what i'm facing right now. it is something that is called mds, myeloplastic syndrome, if you're going what? i'm doing the same thing. it is rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. and dr. richard besser has been holding my hand and he'll have a lot more information about mds on my website. the reason i'm sharing this with everybody now is because later today i begin what's known as pretreatment. i'm going to have -- it's a pic line in my arm and i didn't want you to be concerned if you saw a bandage tomorrow. it's going to be there to draw blood that has to be monitored regularly and also to administer drugs later today and for the week and for a period of time, and it's all to prepare me for a bone marrow transplant. >> roberts says as she begins pretreatment today she'll continue to host ""good morning america."" our best to her. a well known pastor of a sprawling megachurch said police got it wrong. hoe did not punch or choke his teenaged daughter. kreflo did not punch his daughter. he said the argument with his 15-year-old was not physical. >> the truth is she was not choked. she was not punched. there were not any scratches on her neck. but the only thing oven her neck was a prior skin abrasion from eczema. anything else is an exaggeration and sensationalism. >> george is with us now. police have a very different version. >> well, carol, let's talk about that police report. the investigate eor that day to statements from three people, the young victim, her older sister and from pastor dollar who in the report states his daughter became aggressive and he tried to restrain her. both teenagers described a very aggressive attack. but as you hear here, pastor dollar said all is not as it appears to be. his congregation stands by him for the most part. take a listen. >> he's the best pastor in the world. he teaches with great simplicity and understanding. he's great father and husband. >> he's great man, him and my husband. >> i have a 15-year-old daughter myself. if she needs discipline, that's what she gets. thank you. >> please and no. come on in and join us. >> it talks about the pastor allegedly choking the young girl, and also using his shoe to hit her. but, again, you hear from many members who say was this discipline taken too far? perhaps. a reason to demonize the pastor, many of these members say no. >> i was asking you while we were listening to that. the daughter, the 15-year-old, called the police, right? >> that's the thing. this investigator came to the home, took those statements directly from the two teenaged girls. so at this point, we're comparing what the police report says to what pastor dollar says. >> so the investigation continues. what might happen to him if -- police have already charged him, right? what happens now? >> obviously this process will continues go through the court system. the pastor obviously standing up for what he says happened they. keep in mind, this pastor, he's known for his prosperity theology, saying the better the christian you are, the more wealth you should get, the more wealth you should have. pastor dollar himself, he's been criticized for his wealth, assets, millions of dollars in assets. a lot of people watching what happens to him in this case, his membership supporting him. >> thank you so much. some people forget to pay a bar tab when they leave a restaurant. that's not uncommon. but acourting to the daily mail, british prime minister has forgotten his 8-year-old daughter. it's onto monday. let's bring in zain verjee. she's in london. what's up with this? >> just imagine if president and michelle obama left sasha and malia down at the local restaurant over the weekend? that's pretty much what happened with daeshd and samantha cameron. they left 8-year-old nancy down at the pub. they were eating earlier in the day actually with another family and there was a big mix-up, carol, on which car she was going go back in. so when they were halfway hope, oops, they realized we don't have nancy. it turns out that nancy had gone to the bathroom and everyone had taken off. now downing stream issued a whole statement over this. here's what they said, carol. they said the prime minister and samantha were distraught when they realized nancy wasn't with them. thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well. the prime minister went down to get her straight away. now, that happened a couple of months ago, but you know what? a lot of critics are jumping on this and saying the british prime minister likes to cl chil too much and this is happens when he's addressing on family problems. >> the story is politically motivated, although he did really leave his 8-year-old daughter in the bar oop. >> the timing is really interesting. the commission is looking into the phone-hacking scandal but they're focusing between the press and the politicians in this country. david cameron is supported to testify in front of the leverson commission later this week. it was the son that actually disclosed the story. one analyst said it could be a shot across the bow, be careful what you say. a question for you. would you pay $90,000 for a pair of sneakers?
