pierre thomas live on the hill. and pierre, the chairman of the house intelligence committee vowing to take this to court. and as you reported, he called the administration's refusal to share the complaint with congress unprecedented. >> reporter: david, there's a law specifically designed to make sure whistleblower complaints get to congress. chairman schiff says this is the first time a director of national intelligence has stood in the way. he said the director better have some answers when he testifies if public next week. david? >> pierre thomas live tonight on the hill. pierre, thank you. >>> and to your health tonight. and there is yet another death to report, linked to vaping, now eighth deaths. this time in missouri. the latest death comes as the cdc reports an alarming rise in the number of people sick bd by e-cigarettes. a surge of 150 cases. that now pushes the total to more than 500. and until now, more than half of those cases in people under 25. just this week, new york state now joining michigan in t

>> all right, pierre thomas leading us off tonight. pierre, thank you. >>> next tonight, president trump defiant. he was asked repeatedly today, did he put pressure on ukraine to investigate his potential 2020 challenger, joe biden? the president over the weekend admitting he did bring up joe biden on that call, and all of this as congress had already passed hundreds of millions in aid for ukraine, but that money had not been sent. but even with that money in the balance, the president tonight saying he was not putting pressure on the new president of ukraine. here's abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl, traveling with the president here in new york tonight. >> reporter: today, a defiant president trump insisted he did nothing wrong by asking the president of ukraine to investigate his campaign rival, joe biden. >> we had a perfect phone call with the president of ukraine. everybody knows it. it's just a democrat witch hunt. here we go again. >> reporter: over the weekend, the president described the july 25th phone call

>> pierre thomas leading us off tonight. pierre, thank you. >>> now, to that major storm slamming into the u.s. texas getting this, and much of the gulf. dangerous winds and up to two feet of rain possible in some places by the time this is done. rain and 70-mile-an-hour winds battering this airport in baton rouge, tossing planes, flipping some upside down. and blinding rain causing a hazard in houston. the region bracing for flash flooding and more than a half foot of rain still on the way. abc's clayton sandell in galveston. >> reporter: imelda tonight is a slow-moving super-soaker. no longer a tropical storm, but still dumping heavy rain in southeast texas, snarling the io ot of rain in neighborhoods near airport.eert t ihe in galveston, neighbors pitched in to help stranded drivers. >> this looks like a river. >> reporter: the house where >> bucket. just super, super hard rain. >> reporter: in louisiana, 65-mile-per-hour winds whipping through baton rouge, flipping several small planes. and david, you can see behind me h

he will be held accountable. >> let's go back to pierre thomas. pierre, take a step back. one of the things revealed in this letter is a multi tiered effort regarding rudy giuliani, the president says his attorney general william barr. i know the attorney general said he didn't know anything about this phone call, didn't know the president was invoking them. have they made any judgment about whether it was proper for the president to be discussing this with the president of ukraine? >> they have not made any judgment about that. the justice department looked at whether it was a campaign finance violation. when you look at the transcript, what jumps out to me is the degree to which giuliani is playing a role. he's not a member of the trump administration per se. he's playing a role where the president is invoking his name. get this. the president of the ukraine insists that a member of his staff has already been in contact with rudy giuliani and he was open to furthering this investigation with rudy giuliani. >> jon karl, as we look at this now -- we still haven't seen the

the influence of the nra, the influence of wayne la pierre, has it been overstated? are they as powerful now as they were ten years ago? >> i think that's hard to read. let's just say between their sort of insider dealing and embezzlement of members' resources from the national rifle association and the money that was running we don't even know how during the 2016 election cycle, i don't think they're in the same financial position. let's just face it. where they are on these issues is completely opposed to where the american people are. at the end of the day the fact that a majority of americans support background checks and support restricting these high capacity military style weapons, those things i think at the end of the day will win out. but this is still a tough battle, because in so many republican districts the nra controls the agenda. i think now is a time to lift and separate from the national rifle association. like i said, mitch mcconnell, it's all on you. you can pass significant legislation today, because it's sitting there waiting for you to move on

pierre, thank you. >>> want to bring in dan abrams with us tonight. we have heard this over and over again, from the president and his team over the last 24 hours, that there was no quid pro quo here, that the president never talked about the hundreds of millions of dollars in u.s. military aid when he was talking about investigating joe biden. but you have said, the pressure does not need to be that explicit here. >> that's right, david. as a legal matter, you don't need a quid pro quo. you just need to be able to prove the person knowingly solicited something of value from a foreign national to try to influence the 2020 election. but that kind of case is hard to prove and win, but the technical legal question isn't the most important one tonight. the real question is the political one. sure, it would be a stronger case against the president if there had been a specific statement or demand that linked dollars to help, but in the criminal law and in the impeachment process, a court, or in this case, the congress, can certainly read between the lines.

there were further goals from bukayo saka and pierre—emerick aubameyang in the last five minutes, to seal a 3—nil victory. tonight, that much was difficult because they were very strong here, they are a very offensive team and we needed to walk sometimes deep but oui’ we needed to walk sometimes deep but our blessing was for a moment very, very good blessing against them and all transition we can take was for to have maybe chances and we did that. elswehere, javier hernandez was among the scorers as sevilla began their bid to win the trophy for a 6th time with a 3—nil win at oarabag in azerbaijan. wins, also, for two other former champions — psv eindoven and porto. in groupj, borussia monchengladbach were thrashed a—nil at home by wolfsberger, and roma beat istanbul by the same score. and mason greenwood scored his first goal for manchester united as the 2017 winners beat astana 1—nil at old trafford. when you don't score in the first half, from four orfive massive chances, you are always wondering if it's one of those nights you are going to get punished for being sloppy

and so, let's get to abc's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas with us live tonight. pierre? >> reporter: david, it's tragic. this synagogue has been part of that community for 117 years. and tonight, we've learned that investigators from atf are working with local authorities to determine the cause and origin of a fire that decimated that historic house of worship. david, for much of the day, the scene was simply too hot to work in, and officials had to fly in a drone to survey the structure. but tonight, authorities want to know, was this an accident or something more sinister like arson or a hate crime? david? >> all right, we know you'll stay on it. pierre, thank you. >>> when we come back, the american city, a portion of it on lockdown for hours. that van loaded with fuel and a suspicious device. >>> and the famous face and the big return right here. and we can't wait.

according to the times, two people familiar with the meeting says la pierre at the white house, quote, stop the games over gun control legislation, although it was not clear whether trump asked la pierre for his support or what that support would look like. the nra issued a statement on friday in response to the times reporting stating in part quote, the nra is not in clued to discuss private conversations with the president, however many accounts of the meeting as reported in "the new york times" are inaccurate. the nra categorically denies any discussion of -- >> the times notes that the nra has questioned the ability to hold back the 2020 campaign and voiced concerns the group may be going bankrupt and may lack the political clout it had in 2016. >> janessa has a look at the weather. >> parts of the washington area have opened ski re sorts. over 19 inches of snow. seems a little early for me but we do have that record heat that is building. even though the pacific northwest is still dealing with a few advisories for montana, this morning. that whole system will make its way to the
