and wedding of the year, britain's royal family descending on this country church to watch duchess kate's little sister pippa walk down the aisle with her multimillionaire fiance. all the details of the lavish affair. will george and charlotte steal the show? hey, good morning, and let's get straight to the breaking news. donald j. trump arriving in saudi arabia for his first foreign trip as president. this is a high-stakes, eight-day, five-country mission which the white house hopes might turn the page on the investigations and allegations raging here at home. >> and speaking of which, overnight as the president crossed the atlantic, we learned that the fired fbi chief, james comey, will, in fact, testify before congress and do so publicly sometime after memorial day. comey will almost certainly be asked about reports that he accused the president of asking him to shut down the investigation into former

national security adviser mike flynn, as well as his ties to the russians. >> and that announcement about comey's testimony came just hours after "the new york times" reported that the president discussed comey's firing during an oval office meeting with the russian foreign minister reportedly calling comey a, quote, nut job. also this morning sources tell abc news that the investigation into potential russian collusion has, in fact, reached the white house. an unnamed staffer close to the president is now under the microscope. we have team coverage this morning, but we're going to begin with abc's cecilia vega who is with the president in saudi arabia. good morning to you, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, paula, good morning to you. this is an american first. never before has a president set foot on saudi soil for his first trip abroad, but that cloud of chaos that you were just talking about is following president trump here even though the white house is trying for a reset. air force one touching down in saudi arabia this morning. a red carpet welcome even if it took a while to lay out that

carpet and roll out those stairs. ♪ president trump receiving the royal treatment, the saudi king right there to greet him and the first lady at the king's personal terminal used exclusively for the royal family and their guests. for president trump, first stop, ceremonial coffee with the king, the microphones picking up their chatter. >> do you spend a lot of time in new york? >> reporter: outside the president greeted with streets lined in american flags. giant billboards showing him and the saudi king. a warm welcome here for president trump in the capital city of riyadh. you can see all of these flags on the industry streets but it's not just that political chaos back on home casting a shadow on this trip, it's his comments from the campaign trail. from his thoughts on islam -- >> i think islam hates us. there's something -- there's something there that there's a tremendous hatred. >> reporter: to that muslim ban.

>> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: his first foreign trip jam packed. eight days, five countries with stops at the world's great religious centers from saudi arabia, the birthplace of islam, to israel and then the vatican. an ambitious agenda but the question this morning, how successful can president trump be abroad with a firestorm back home? and tomorrow the president is expected to deliver a big speech to the muslim world calling on it to end extremism. it was written by stephen miller, paula. that is the same aide who helped on that travel ban. >> in that speech he's expected to preach religious tolerance. i have to ask you about that visual. first lady melania is drawing attention for not wearing a head scarf. >> reporter: yeah, and that is an example of the microscope the president and the first lady are under under a trip like this, but she is following in the footsteps of michelle obama who

also did not wear a head scarf during her 2015 visit. that was hugely controversial back then seen as a sign of disrespect in this religiously conservative country. among the people who criticized michelle obama back then, donald trump. >> yes, cecilia, thanks for your reporting. we know you're going to be there for every step of the way on this trip. thanks, cecilia. and here at home, there's been no break from the controversy surrounding the investigation into possible russian collusion as well as the firing of fbi director james comey. >> so for more on the fast-moving developments, let's go to abc's gloria riviera covering it all in washington. gloria, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. no break in these controversies and now very soon the public will hear from the man at the center of what can only be described as a coming showdown with the white house. james comey, he is expected to testify sometime after memorial day on capitol hill. former fbi director james comey now agreeing to testify before the senate intelligence committee in an open public session. the announcement of his testimony coming just hours after a "new york times" report

alleging trump described comey as a nut job in a may 10th private meeting with the russian ambassador in the oval office. trump allegedly boasting, i just fired the head of the fbi. the president also adding, i faced great pressure because of russia. that's taken off. details of the conversation were included in an official white house document, which was read to "the new york times." press secretary sean spicer saying, by grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into russia's actions, james comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage with russia. trump has acknowledged that the russian investigation played a role in comey's ouster. >> the entire thing has been a witch-hunt, and there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign. >> reporter: but the president steadfastly denying he pressured comey to ease off the investigation into former national security adviser michael flynn. >> did you at any time urge former fbi director james comey in any way, shape or form to close or to back down the investigation into michael flynn

and also as you look back -- >> no, no. next question. >> reporter: and abc news has learned a current white house staffer is now part of the probe into whether there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russians in the 2016 elections. officials have declined to name that person. "the washington post," however, is reporting that it is someone close to the president. dan, paula. >> gloria, thank you. for more on all of this, let's bring in conservative commentator and abc news contributor tara setmayer. tara, good morning. >> good morning. >> so we've got two big reports this morning, one from "the new york times" and the president allegedly telling the russians that comey is a nut job and one from "the washington post" saying this investigation now reaches directly into the white house and the common denominator here is that both of these stories are based on leaks. and supporters of the president are saying this is another example of the deep state trying to take down a legitimately elected man. isn't there some truth to that? >> well, i think that there's

some truth to the fact that we should be concerned about the leaks. you know, let's not forget the obama administration also went after leakers very aggressively. so i think that's a legitimate concern. how far you want to take this, i've seen some rhetoric about this is a coup from within, and i think that's a bit too much, however, it's not a binary choice, which i think is something that the right wing media is presenting to their viewers and doing a disservice for that. there's balance here. yes, we need to be concerned about the leaks and should pursue them, however, that doesn't mean it diminishes the wrongdoing perhaps or what's going on, the chaos that's going on in the white house self-inflicted by the president himself. i think that the idea of just constantly focusing on the leaks doesn't bring balance to the conversation because there are considerable things happening in the white house with this president that need to be investigated, thus, the special counsel. but that also he's not beyond reproach. these are self-inflicted wounds and should be criticized fairly as well. >> and we know that james comey

is expected to testify publicly on capitol hill shortly after memorial day about what happened in those private conversations with the president. do you expect there to be a bombshell when he's testifying and also another part to the question, shouldn't this kind of be seen as a breach of confidentiality, you know doctor/patient privilege? isn't this also a privilege and confidential conversation that he's having with the president? >> yes and no. obviously we always hear about executive privilege. it's one of those things in the white house that goes along with the job, and you need to have that ability to have privileged conversations to govern, however, when you have something that the -- the fbi director speaking to the president about an ongoing investigation, that is inappropriate. so james comey taking copious notes about that, that's something that lawyers do, law enforcement officers in government, they're trained to do that. you can even have 302s is what they use with the fbi. that can be admitted into court as a legal document, so what

james comey did was absolutely appropriate and the president's interactions with him seemingly are becoming more and more inappropriate, so hearing from james comey in a setting on capitol hill, i don't think we're going to hear any bombshells because of the special prosecutor that's been named. the special counsel tempers everything a bit. i think james comey has felt that he's been defamed and that he needs to speak out somewhat, but for those waiting for a big bombshell, you're not really going to hear that now. we have an ongoing investigation with a special counsel that is very, very serious. >> so comey may feel constrained by the fact that he could possibly be a witness in that investigation. >> that's absolutely correct. >> let's talk about -- before we let you go let's talk about the foreign trip that the president is on, his maiden foreign voyage as president. can he do much to change the subject while overseas? >> absolutely. you know, the president is his own architect of his own demise or of his own success and his -- whether he's disciplined and stays on message while he's on this foreign trip will determine what happens here.

there is a lot at stake. and this is an ambitious trip regardless whether he had the chaos going on at home or domestically or not. it's an ambitious trip but there is an opportunity here with israel and saudi arabia, reinforcing our support for nato, meeting with the g7. there is a real opportunity for the president here with his speech on islam and terrorism for him to turn the page and the primary job of the president is foreign policy, national security, and this is where he should be able to shine. but that remains to be seen because we haven't seen him be very disciplined in the past. if he is this time around, then perhaps he could change the page and compartmentalize which is what bill clinton did when he was under investigation and still be able to push forward his agenda. >> tara, we know you spend a lot of time in d.c., former comms director in the white house. thank you for your insight this morning. >> my pleasure. >> and we're going to be covering the president's first overseas trip all day long on abc news and abcnews.com but we do want to move now to a disturbance on a flight from california to hawaii. >> yeah, the incident so concerning that fighter jets

were sent to escort the plane and abc's matt gutman is in honolulu with what happened on board and the suspect's brush with the law before this even took off. matt, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, good morning, dan and paula. we now know that that suspect's behavior twice raised red flags before that plane even took off from los angeles, but what scrambled those jets was his bizarre, disturbing midair behavior, apparently mumbling as he tried to force his way to the front of the plane wearing a blanket on his head and carrying a laptop. this morning this new video shows the moment fbi agents led anil uskanil off the american airlines jet in honolulu. minutes earlier he was led cuffed down the aisle. >> he was pretty disheveled. >> reporter: authorities say while flight 31 was about half of the way from los angeles to honolulu friday, uskanil, a turkish national tried to force his way to the front of the plane. >> he looked like he wasn't all there. >> reporter: passengers telling us he was carrying something. >> he did have a laptop.

that's what he was holding. >> reporter: with a blanket over his head. >> draped over him like this. i never saw his face or anything. >> reporter: a flight attendant then spotting uskanil moving toward the cockpit. according to the airline, the crew using a beverage cart to block his path. almost immediately a passenger jumping in. he was an off-duty lapd officer helping restain uskanil for the rest of the flight. >> duct taped him. zip tied. yeah. >> reporter: these f-22 fighter jets scrambled to escort the passenger plane to honolulu as other pilots were told about the unfolding event. >> we're canceling the inbound approach for right now for an emergency. >> reporter: uskanil was escorted off the jet, passengers deplaned lining up so officials and dogs could inspect their belongings. an explosives team sweeping the aircraft but hours before uskanil was booted off plane, the shaggy-haired passenger was reportedly raising red flags

allegedly opening a secure door on the ground at l.a.x. he was cited but allowed to board his flight to honolulu anyway. now, those explosive units, they didn't find anything on the plane. nobody was hurt, and the suspect is now undergoing medical evaluation as investigators try to figure out what he was trying to do on that plane, but with the laptop threats recently and those jets scrambled, dan and paula, you can imagine how terrifying it must have been for some of those 181 passengers on board that plane. >> absolutely, matt gutman, thank you for your reporting from honolulu this morning. a lot of other news this morning, and for that, let's get it over to ron claiborne. good morning, sir. >> good morning to you, dan and paula. adrienne, good morning to you. good morning, everyone. we begin in new york with new details about the man accused of driving his car on to a crowded times square sidewalk thursday mowing down pedestrians killing a teenager and injuring dozens of others. prosecutors now say it was suspect, 26-year-old richard rojas told them he wanted to kill all the pedestrians and that police should have shot

him. rojas has been charged with one count of murder and 20 counts of attempted murder. also in new york, a former democratic congressman anthony weiner pleading guilty to a federal obscenity charge for sexting with a 15-year-old girl and weiner tearfully telling the court he has a sickness and will now have to register as a sex offender. weiner's wife, huma abedin, filing for divorce on the same day he will be sentenced in september. and in new orleans crowds cheering as a crane took down a statue of confederate general robert e. lee, the fourth and final civil war era statue in that city to come down there since april. the city council in new orleans voting to remove the statues. they voted in 2015 sparking a nationwide debate. some saying that the statues represent slavery and injustice. others saying they have historical value. and in minneapolis, a judge has declared that prince's sister and five half siblings will inherit the singer's multimillion dollar estate. more than 45 people had come

forward to claim rights to it. prince's estate worth an estimated $200 million. close to half of that will likely go to taxes. and in wisconsin, take a look at this dash cam video showing a wild police chase between officers and five teenagers driving an allegedly stolen car through the suburbs of milwaukee. the car goes onto sidewalks and backyards as you see there and on the wrong side of the road at times. >> whoa. >> the suspects eventually caught and arrested. and finally, can anyone stop lebron james and the cleveland cavaliers? can they, paula? >> no. >> she's texting. the answer so far -- >> no. i was texting lebron. telling him to back off. >> their playoff dominance with a 44-point victory over the boston celtics last night, dan, in boston, setting several scoring records. >> thank you for that. >> the cavs, that is, handing the number one seeded team their worst loss in nba history. >> what? >> the final score, 130-86. the playoffs now shift to cleveland. the cavaliers gunning for the 11th straight playoff win.

maybe the celtics have some better luck, dan. >> oh, my -- >> ron is singling me out because i'm the one person here from boston but i'm confident in the celtics. >> in the comeback. >> what were you doing texting in the middle of ron's -- >> i was actually texting our executive producer. is that okay? >> okay. >> i was actually texting rob marciano. rob, did you get my text? rob is in dallas tracking all the severe weather and flooding moving through the south. did you get my text message yet, rob? >> i haven't. if you sent it this morning, no, i haven't, but, you know, keep it quiet when it comes to what's going on with the cavaliers because this is mavs country, and i know the spurs are still in it. hey, guys, down here because it's been a hectic week across the plains with tornadoes, 100 of them reported in the last five days. and at one point dallas in a tornado watch last night. that line of storms has since moved through and a pretty decent morning here in the big "d." want to show you this tornado that touched down, though, in medicine lodge, kansas,

yesterday, 1 of 20. so it was active as well, not doing a lot of damage but there was some damage done in indiana, sulfur, indiana, there was a tornado. but in salem, indiana, look at this. this is the blue river rising about 14 feet in just a couple of hours, trailers being thrown downstream bashing into the bridges, a number of water evacuations and rescues and that river still high this morning. all right. here's where the storms are. they're east of dallas, but into memphis and st. louis. that's going to be the hot spot today, and that's pretty much where the severe weather threat is going to be, and these are very high water content storms so where it does storm, they will be coming down heavily as far as rain goes and wind damage too. . good saturday morning, i'm lisa argen, can you see that fog will be keeping us comfortable at the coast. partial afternoon clearing there. hot inland today, tomorrow, monday, looking at the cooling trend into next tuesday inland, some sun. we see 60s half moon bay, 74 in santa cruz today, elsewhere

did tom brady have a concussion? that is still in question this morning. his agent now chiming in on what he knows about the star player's health. >> brady gets hit as he throws it. >> reporter: he was the super bowl mvp. one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. the patriots' tom brady is the only quarterback in history to lead his team to five super bowl wins. >> brady has his fifth. what a comeback. >> reporter: but now concerned that the 39-year-old star player may have suffered a concussion in the midst of the super bowl-winning season. >> brady is sacked. >> reporter: his wife supermodel gisele bundchen speaking about his possible injuries on "cbs this morning." >> he had a concussion last year. i mean he has concussions pretty much -- i mean, we don't talk about it, but he does have concussions. >> reporter: this morning his agent don yee telling espn tom was not diagnosed with a concussion last year. and confirming that none of those trained to spot concussions on the field

reported seeing the star quarterback suffer any type of head injury. >> there is a gray area when it comes to how the nfl handles concussions. some of the information gathering is still contingent upon self-reporting of the players. >> reporter: the question this morning, did gisele misspeak? did the patriots not report because they didn't want brady to miss games, or did brady share something with his wife that he didn't share with the team. >> it's my belief that as long as the nfl contracts are not fully guaranteed, you're always going to have an issue of players not self-reporting injuries for fear of losing playing time or losing their jobs altogether. >> reporter: and that's a situation tom brady himself knows well. he got his start for the patriots when drew bledsoe had to sit out. >> so many questions, but i mean that's the perspective of the players. they don't want to report it because they know that they may not ever get back in the game. >> they want to play. >> they sure do. >> eva, thank you.

>> thanks, eva. let's check the weather once again with rob marciano who is in dallas. rob, any other private communications with your colleagues you'd like to share with the world? >> no, we'll keep those under wraps at least for now. maybe tomorrow we'll have an update. >> awesome. >> guys, i don't have to tell you, it's been hot across much of the country including the northeast where temperatures well in the 90s 9 the past few days. cooling down, a bit of a pattern shift going on so temperatures will be 15 to 20 degrees cooler than what they were, and the west, on the other hand, will be heating up. temperatures 90s in burbank and with all the snow across the sierras, there's going to be issue, i think, with river flooding. they're worried about that in reno and some other spots close to the mountains there so certainly keeping an eye on that plus the storms that came through the plains last night now getting into the tennessee and ohio river valleys. some strong storms in mississippi and tennessee as this thing pushes off to the east and heavy rain with these so s >> good saturday morning, i'm lisa argen, from our east hills camera, you can see the showers
