President trump is heading to cincinnati this morning to push his new infrastructure plan. This as top intelligence officials including the director of National Intelligence dan coats and Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein testify on capitol hill about the russia investigation. Lets go to our senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas with more on what to expect and there is this new report that the president may have also pressured dan coats in that russia investigation. Reporter amy, good morning. Thats right. Top Law Enforcement and intelligence officials on capitol hill today admit new allegations of President Trump trying to get others to help push back against the fbis investigation of Michael Flynn. Who had been forced to resign over russia. The Washington Post reporting that President Trump asked director of National Intelligence dan coats to intervene with then fbi director james comey on the Michael Flynn investigation. Coats and other top intelligence and Law Enforcement officials are likely to face tough questions before the Senate Intelligence committee. Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein may get questions about his role in the firing of comey. How he feels about the white house first suggesting that he was the catalyst for the firing of comey when it was the president s idea. He also may face questions about the appointment of a special counsel and senators are expected to press nsa director mike rogers on whether President Trump asked him to push back on the notion it was collusion between Trump Campaign associates and the russians. With former director comeys dramatic testimony before congress, now a little more than 24 hours away, battle lines are already being drawn. Last night supporters of the president releasing a tv ad attacking comey. James comey, just another d. C. Insider only in it for himself. Reporter thursday after weeks of silence, comey is finally going to have his say. Sources close to comey telling abc news, he will describe an uncomfortable relationship with President Trump with repeated encounters that made him uneasy. One source saying on that meeting where he asked comey for loyalty comey not only refused to give it, he says but believes it was an amateurish attempt to bring the fbi director under the president s wing. Comey was constantly assessing the president s motive, unsure whether trump was doing something sinister or someone used to getting his way and apparently unaware that the fbi director is supposed to be independent. But comey was concerned enough to take notes about certain meetings. Especially the one where trump allegedly suggested he go easy on Michael Flynn who had been forced to resign. Two sources tell abc news that shortly after that meeting, comey told attorney general sessions that he did not want to be left alone with the president , believing it was inappropriate. Trump has flatly denied these allegations, on tuesday when asked about comey, trump i wick him luck. Reporter so today a lot of senior officials on the hot seat with russia again front and center on capitol hill. George. Today and tomorrow. Pierre, thanks very much. Brandnew poll with the Washington Post that shows a majority of americans have serious questions about how President Trump has handled james comey and the russia investigation. As we told you six in ten says he fired comey to protect himself. 56 believe the president has interfered in the russia investigation. Lets bring in jon karl and, jon, not a lot of trust for the president in that poll but some indication from the white house that hes prepared to fight back tomorrow. Reporter absolutely, george. Although sean spicer yesterday at the White House Briefing suggested that the president would be too busy to watch the hearing, i am told that is just not true. That he has blocked out time to watch the hearing. Some here expect that he will respond in realtime on twitter although, george, there is no plan to do so and the president has been advised by his lawyers that it is not a good idea to go on twitter. Jon, theres been tension between the president and the attorney general over the russia investigation. The president angry with the attorney general for recusing himself and you reported yesterday he even suggested resigning . Reporter absolutely, george. The president has been enraged at the attorney general several times over the past several months, blowing up at him because he recused himself back in march from the russia investigation and at one point a couple of weeks ago i am told that Jeff Sessions said that if youre that upset i will resign. The president did not take him up on that offer. At least not yet. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. Amy. Now to that blockbuster new report raising questions about the Trump Organization and Charity Golf Events that were meant to raise money for children with cancer. Our chief National Correspondent tom llamas is here with new reporting on this. Good morning, tom. Reporter amy, good morning to you. Eric trump coming out very strong in defense of his foundation but this morning we have some of the charitys financial documents that are raising questions. Were not going to take it anymore reporter thats Twisted Sister rocking out with the trump family in 2015, even the president jamming. According to an Eric Trump Foundation promotional video, this all happened in the name of charity. One girl paid 50,000 to see my father, myself and ivanka go up on stage with dee snider. Reporter those Charity Events for his foundation were quite the blowouts starting with golf on trump courses, hooters girls on the greens and nighttime fun with acts like comedian lisa lampanelli. Are you giving birth right now because that would be [ bleep ] up. Wow. Score. Reporter the events raising millions for st. Judes Children Research hospital to help kids fight cancer. At st. Judes our family never sees a bill. Reporter but this morning, eric trump is defending his Charitable Foundation against accusations he was selfdealing to the Trump Organization. I raised 16. 3 million for the greatest hospital in the world at st. Judes and i get attacked for it. Reporter forbes reports hundreds of thousands went to the trump Family Business despite eric saying many of the costs would be covered by the trumps. Were able to come up with the concept of raising a lot of money with really no expense and again its because we were incurring the expenses and taking on the expense as trump. We were using our own facility. Reporter in question why the golf invitational expenses ballooned from 59,000 in 2012 to 2 230,000 the next year and 242,000 in 2014. The irs filings dont list what they spent the money on, just a bulk amount. Abc news has learned the foundation raised more than a Million Dollars each of those years for st. Judes but their biggest haul was 2012 when their expenses were the lowest. The accounting here is not clear at all. Which makes it very difficult to see what they were actually paying. Gives it to st. Judes, so im very proud of eric. Reporter forbes says problems started when donald trump allegedly demanded the foundation be charged for use of the facilities. Donald came in and said, you know what, were going to start billing you guys. Even though this is a Charity Event even though this is for kids with cancer we want you to guys to pay. Reporter now, eric trump has already released a statement that ill put on the screen saying in part contrary to recent reports at no time did the Trump Organization profit in any way from the foundation or any of its activities. We also want to mention there is a surgery and an icu center named in eric trumps foundation for his pledge to raise 20 million for that hospital. George. Okay, tom, thanks very much. Lets bring in john avlon editor of the daily beast and sara fagen. Lets begin with this comey hearing tomorrow. The other hearing today shaping up to be a real watershed moment for the Trump Administration and as our poll shows starting out in a deep hole. The poll is stark. The vast majority of the American People dont trust trump on this issue. They dont think he was acting in the American Peoples interest. And that whats disturbing when you dig into it, though, theres still a stubborn partisan divide. Republicans are more likely to trust donald trump. Independents, democrat, moder e moderates, liberal, skeptical. Overa overall theres no spinning your way out. President trump wished comey luck. Not sure how sincere that was. Whats your take on the stakes and what the president and his team have to do to counter it. No way for donald trump to win tomorrow. It will be a bad press day no matter what. Will they make it worse . They would be well advised to say theyre going to let the investigation play out and theyre confident in the final analys analysis there will be no cooperation between the Trump Campaign and russia and say nothing else. The question, sara, is can they keep the president off twitter during the hearing . Yeah, i think its going to be critical for the president to stay off twitter. I dont know that hell do it but not only for the pr factor here which is a big part of what tomorrow is going to be about is how does the press around this play out. But potentially legally for the president. The more the president weighs in on this investigation and comments about what did or didnt happen or who said what to whom, he puts himself in a potentially legal position thats really troubling for him and his white house. John, on this new report about eric trump and his charity there could be legal problems for the charity as well. Sure, no, this is very troubling. I mean raising money for st. Judes is honorable but if youre all of a sudden effectively giving kickbacks, expenses going to Trump Properties thats problematic and part of a pattern of selfdealing. Even during the campaign the campaign ended up paying money to Trump Properties. So this may not have been intentional but if that was the effect its very hard to explain. Okay, john avlon. Go ahead, sara. I was going to say i think the problem for a story like this in the context of the comey investigation is that somebody who bills a charity excessively if thats what happened is more likely to have fired somebody to protect themselves. These things work to the disadvantage of donald trump. They all come together, sara fagen, john avlon, thanks very much. Ill anchor the live coverage of the testimony starting at 10 00 a. M. , james comeys testimony right here on abc. Download the abc news app and sign up for breaking news alerts. Amy. All right, george. Now to new details on that terror attack in paris at one of the most visited tourist sites in the world, a man armed with a hammer and knives targeting Police Outside notre dame cathedral. Inside, hundreds on lockdown sitting in the pews with their arms in the air. Abcs James Longman is there with the latest on all of that. Good morning, james. Reporter good morning, amy. Yes, this morning the paris prosecutor confirming that a declaration of allegiance to isis was found in the attackers apartment even though the authorities had no previous knowledge of him. At 4 20 p. M. Local time tuesday, Surveillance Video shows a man wielding a hammer attack an officer standing guard outside the cathedral reportedly shouting, this is for syria. Watch again. Within seconds the officer shoots and wounds the attacker as people on the plaza scatter. Lying on the Ground Police say he shouted i am a sold of the caliphate. An algerian Identity Card found on him. Cell phone recorded by an american shows an officer standing over the assailant. We heard the two gunshots and he had blood coming out from his leg. Reporter as police rush to the scene at least 900 people were kept inside the 12th century church. And look at this. A startling image from the pews. People ordered to put their hands up. Nancy sudd Nancy Soderbergh was there. There were accomplices so well search everything and thats when people got quiet and nervous. People thought there might be an attacker inside the church. Reporter a priest said the lords prayer to help calm people held inside for what one witness says felt like two hours. It was nice to be around people from all over the world getting through it sitting calmly together. Reporter this morning, the attacker is in hospital being guarded by police. France has been under a state of emergency since 2015 and since then there have been four attacks on the security services. Amy. All right, such stunning images, frightening moments there, thank you, james. Michael. Thank you, amy. Turning now to dramatic testimony in the bill cosby trial. The former comedian coming facetoface with his accuser in court and abcs linsey davis has the story. Reporter it was arguably the most anticipated moment of the trial. Andrea constand walking into a packed courtroom tuesday where she gave tearful testimony about an alleged Sexual Assault by bill cosby 13 years ago. We are just so proud of her for maintaining her composure and i think she answered the questions to the best of her ability. Reporter she testified about what she says happened in 2004 at cosbys pennsylvania home. She says she saw cosby as a mentor and when he gave her three blue pills to ease her stress, she took them but quickly started feeling dizzy. I was trying to get my hand to move or my legs to move, she said. But i was frozen. Constand says cosby then sexually assaulted her. I wanted it to stop, she said as she cried on the stand. Cosby who said their encounter was consensual sat stoically during her testimony until one point where she got somewhat graphic and he began vigorously shaking his head in disagreement. During the testimony of another witness yesterday, the defense was able to establish a pretty significant inconsistency in the account of the only other accuser involved in this case. A sixyear discrepancy in when she says that she was assaulted by bill cosby. In the meantime, the crossexamination of Andrea Constand continues this morning. As you would expect the defense not pulling any punches, michael. All right, thank you, lins
