tonight, he's now calling it spygate. but this evening here, a fact check. the american people already knew before the election that the fbi was investigating russians meddling in the election, so, would fbi informants be standard procedure? here's abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl. >> reporter: in started with a few tweets, and now, with no apparent evidence, president trump is loudly proclaiming the fbi and justice department planted spies in his 2016 campaign. >> we now call it spygate. >> reporter: the tweets came in rapid succession, calling the alleged conspiracy "one of the biggest scandals in history," perpetrated by a, quote, "criminal deep state." "a spy put there by the previous administration for political purposes." with no known evidence any of that happened, the president was asked today for proof. >> all you have to look at the basics. and you'll see. it looks like a very serious event. i hope it's not true, but it looks like it is. >> reporter: i asked the president who could possibly be

behind such a thing. >> well, i don't want to get into it yet, but i will tell you after we look at -- >> reporter: president obama? >> after we look at the proof. would he know? i would certainly hope not. but i think it's going to be pretty obvious after a while. >> reporter: he then pointed to something president obama's director of national intelligence said on "the view." >> if you look at clapper, he sort of admitted that they had spies in the campaign. >> reporter: but that's not what clapper said. >> was the fbi spying on trump's campaign? >> no, they were not. they were spying on -- a term i don't particularly like -- on what the russians were doing, >> reporter: the president's allegations were triggered by a "new york times" report that an fbi informant questioned two trump campaign advisors about their contacts with russian operatives. the use of such informants is routine. there was no mention of a spy infiltrating the trump campaign. but this is not the first time the president has talked about espionage or surveillance without evidence. he suggested there were tapes of

his conversations with james comey. the white house later said there were not. he said, without any proof, that obama had wiretapped trump tower. today he was asked if so-called spygate allegations are an effort to undercut the russia investigation. >> no, no, we're not undercutting. what i'm doing is a service to this country. >> let's get to jon karl, live from the white house. jon, there is also news this evening coming in about jared kushner. he's now finally obtained his security clearance, we've learned. but we're also learning tonight that he recently sat down with robert mueller's investigators for an interview? >> reporter: he did get his security clearance, finally, and significantly, david, this happened after he went in for a second interview with special counsel robert mueller, an interview that lasted some seven hours and included extensive questioning about his foreign contacts, both during the campaign, in the transition. this could be good news for kushner, because apparently nothing in that interview raised

red flags to prevent him from getting that security clearance. >> all right, jon karl tonight. jon, thank you. next, to those high stakes talks with north korea. president trump now saying they may not take place next month as planned. and tonight, we've now learned that one reason the president may have his doubts now, the north koreans failed to show up at a planned meeting. i want to bring in cecilia vega, live at the white house tonight. the u.s. team, we learned, was in singapore and you reported earlier today that the north koreans just doesn't show? >> reporter: yeah, david. i'm told this was about two weeks ago, for what was supposed to be a planning meeting for this summit in singapore. as you said, the north koreans just didn't show up. the u.s. delegation is going to try it again. they're headed to singapore this weekend, hopeful this time the north crkoreans do indeed show . just yesterday, the president seemed to back away from what had been a key u.s. demand in these talks, the complete and immediate denuclearization of north korea, but today, the secretary of state seemed to suggest that that demand is now back on the table, david. mike pompeo said he wants rapid,

total and complete denuclearization, quote, that won't be extended over time. >> all right, we'll see if they show up in the coming days this time. cecilia, thank you. next, the tropical disturbance we're watching right now in the gulf. now a 60% chance it will become a tropical depression. either way, this system slams into the coast this weekend, bringing winds and rain to the south and the east. flash flooding already a problem tonight in ft. collins, colorado. cars and trucks under water, covered with hail. thunderstorms lashing washington, d.c. and virginia. a park trail turning into a rushing river there in arlington. let's get right to senior meteorologist rob marciano, tracking it all for us, and just with the holiday weekend approaching. >> reporter: and we're still nine days away from the official start of hurricane season. better than a 50/50 shot of getting development out of this. you see the thunderstorms flaring up. the main threat is going to be rain, forced up over florida. some areas seeing a foot of rain in the last ten days. could see another fly-plus inches over the weekend.

doctor. he knows what he's supposed to do. >> reporter: the university says they've received as many as 300 calls on a hotline set up for patients of dr. tyndall. >> he stuck his fingers inside of me, and he moved them around. i said, no, no, no, there's no need, there's no need, please stop, no, and he said -- >> reporter: you asked him to stop? >> i did. >> reporter: and did he? >> he didn't. >> reporter: tyndall has denied any wrongdoing to the "l.a. times" and left the university in 2017. 200 faculty members at usc demanding that usc's president step down, writing that he's, quote, lost the moral authority to lead. nikias, who has the full support of the board of trustees, has said tyndall's alleged misconduct is "unacceptable" and he has a plan to "change the culture of the university" about handling allegations of sexual misconduct. david, i spoke with a lawyer who said today he talked to 36 other women who say they were also assaulted by dr. tyndall, and he
