anti-climactic. it's april 16th. some people are a day late and dollar short. the potential fees and how it could impact your refund. >> george: we begin with the historic trial of donald trump. former president is in the courtroom for the entire day as nearly 100 potential jurors filed in, most indicated they could not be impartial and were dismissed. aaron katersky starts us off at the courthouse in downtown manhattan. >> reporter: former president trump arrived here a short while ago with a small wave, no protesters or supporters to greet him. headed up to the 15th floor with the history of a former president being on trial is contrasting with the slow laborious prospect of finding a jury to sit in judgment. this morning donald trump returns to the courtroom where lawyers are whittling the pool to find 12 jurors and 6 alternates to hear the case of falsifying business records to conceal stories of a sex life before the 2016 election. trump using a microphone in the

hallway. >> nothing like this has ever happened before. there's never been anything like it. >> reporter: once seated in court, trump was stern faced, craning his neck to eye jurors and flashed a tight lip smile. one woman giggling in recognition. the defense asking if they knew potential witnesses, a who's who of the trump family, campaign and administration. melania, ivanka. then saying raise your hand if you believe you cannot be fair and impartial. the first batch raised their hand and were immediately dismissed. in the hallway one heard saying, i just couldn't do it. a cross section of new yorkers. an oncology nurse, book seller, salesman originally from ireland answered questions one by one. a woman who works in retail sent home after saying she had strong opinions about trump that would interfere with her ability to be an impartial juror. politics was always going to run head long into this trial. on the very first day trump

found out how restrictive that can be. he missed permission to skip next thursday so he can attend u.s. supreme court arguments over his presidential immunity claim. the judge said no, arguing before the supreme court is a big deal, the judge said, but having a trial in new york county supreme court with a jury of 12 and perhaps 6 alternate, that is also a big deal. he needs to be present. trump also asking to skip court the day his son baron graduates high school. the judge said, depends on how you are doing on time. >> the judge won'ted allow me to escape the scam, scam trial. >> reporter: prosecutors are asking the judge to hold trump in contempt over recent social media posts that they said violated the judge's gag order prohibiting trump from attacking witnesses like michael cohen and stormy daniels. defense attorneys said, george, that he was on the responding to attacks from them, but prosecutors want a $3,000 fine. >> george: thank you very much. let's bring in dan abrams, chief washington correspondent jon karl.

dan, let me begin with you. we saw many of the potential jurors dismissed. how difficult is it going to be to put a jury together here? >> very. i mean, look, these were the jurors who were honest, right? they came forward and said, i can'ted be impartial. the concern has got to be about the other half, the ones saying, oh, yeah, i can be totally impartial in this case. this is going to be a process where initially it's the jurors self-select, right? jurors saying, this is what i can do, this is what i can't do. after that the lawyers are going to begin the process of questioning them, each side gets an opportunity to eliminate some without reason and then beyond that they'll have to make an argument to the judge what the reason would be to dismiss. >> george: jon, we've been talking about the political/legal calendars clashing for about a year. yesterday it became real. felt that the dynamic may be changing from when donald trump was so convinced this was helping him every day. >> yeah. i could see it in his behavior, in his demeanor. this was a wakeup call for

donald trump. this is his new reality. he is now criminal defendant trump. sure, he's been indicted four times. he had to go to arraignments. but now he has to be inside a nondescript courtroom in lower manhattan day after day against his will. he must be there. he is in a courtroom where he has no control. judge is the boss. for the most part, he has to be silent. you could see the bitterness, the anger, i think the energy drain from him when he walked out of that courtroom at the end of the day. it was a different donald trump. look, he was restrained yesterday. he didn't violate the gag order, didn't lash out at anybody. but how is this going to affect his psyche as he does this for the next roughly two months? >> george: and what will he say as the witnesses start to testify? we already saw the prosecutor say he's violated the gag order three times. he'll have to be careful when he goes out to those microphones. >> i'm surprised the judge is

even giving the defense team a week or whatever to file a written response to this. typically you would deal with this immediately. which brings up another issue. this judge has been pretty fair to donald trump. he's talking about how -- >> george: no access hollywood. >> no access hollywood tape. no eight other women who made allegations against donald trump going to be admitted in this case. the judge giving him this time to respond to the gag order, etc. all of this underminds the argument that this is a judge who is so hopelessly unfair and that he can't give donald trump a fair trial. >> the biggest victory his legal team had yesterday was over their own client. he walked by those cameras, i believe it was four time, where he didn't say anything. even when he went before the cameras, he didn't lash out. he didn't violate a gag order. >> george: thank you very much. michael? >> michael: thank you, george. overseas to israel, vowing to respond after iran's attack over the weekend. the biden administration and other world leaders are urging restraint. matt gutman is in israel with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning,

michael. we are in southern israel at a military base. what you're seeing here is part of one of the 130 ballistic missiles fired by iran at israel. you can see shrapnel here. it was knocked out of the sky by an arrow anti-missile. this is just the fuel tank. here would have been the warhead. 800 pounds of hot explosives. israeli official telling me their anti-missile shield worked perfectly, but it was also a matter of luck that one of these didn't hit a population center killing dozens and possibly triggering a regional war. the middle east on edge this morning with iran vowing a massive response to the slightest action from israel as israel vows to retaliate for that rain of missiles. >> iran will pay the consequences for its actions. >> reporter: prime minister benjamin war cabinet together to discuss

the ballistic missiles. >> multilayered, multinational against that would be ring of fire that iran intended on israel. we stopped that. >> reporter: the coordinated response from a u.s. led coalition including britain and france thwarting the attack. the idea of saying 99% of those incoming threats intercepted. an israeli official telling abc news iran actually increased the number of ballistic missiles it would fire once it learned of the scope of the u.s.-led coalition against it. >> they knew many were going to be defeated, but the aim was to get as many through as possible. >> reporter: for the 12 minutes it took for those missiles to arc from iran to israel, american and israeli officials unsure if their missile net would hold. it did. a senior israeli air force official telling abc news multiple middle eastern countries provided israel with an early warning and israel's defense system taking down ballistic missiles seen

streaming over jerusalem. the idea of saying this new video shows israeli troops pulling one of those missiles out of the dead sea. president biden saying the u.s. is committed to the safety of troops in the region and to israel's security, but the administration making it clear that the u.s. will not participate in any israeli counterstrike. iran says its attack avenged israel's strike earlier this month that killed two top generals at a consulate complex in syria. an israeli official tells me the most likely israeli retaliation will be clandestine possibly a targeted strike against an iranian official in iran. but those officials say that a key consideration will be preserving this defensive coalition that the u.s. built to protect israel. michael? >> michael: matt, thank you very much. the attack by iran has congress scrambling to pass aid for israel and possibly ukraine. our senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill with the latest. good morning, rachel.

>> reporter: michael, good morning to you. this is a risky move for house speaker mike johnson. for months he has avoided saying how hi plans to address aid for israel, ukraine and taiwan. now he is unveiling his plan for the first time but it is a complicated one. the speaker of the house said that the house will not vote on the senate's bipartisan foreign aid package that wrapped aid for israel, ukraine and taiwan all into one. instead, johnson plans to break that package up and bring four separate bills to the floor for a vote, one for each issue. and then a final bill that's shaping up to be a republican wish list with conservative policy wins. johnson knows he has a razor thin majority. he's trying to satsz tpaoeu all wings of his party. he did speak to president biden before unveiling this package to republicans behind closed doors just yesterday. but it's unclear if democrats are going to go along with any of this. either way johnson says those votes will be happening this week, michael.

>> michael: we know you'll be covering that for us. the house moved to impeach homeland security secretary mayorkas. today those articles are going to be handed over to the senate? >> reporter: yes, exactly, michael. the house voted to impeach homeland security secretary mayorkas over his handling of the border. he was the first cabinet secretary in 150 years to be impeached so those those articles will be transferred to the senate. democrats pointing out there is no evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors, which is why they are expected to quickly dismiss these charges, michael. >> michael: rachel scott, thanks as always. >> linsey: the u.s. skor allowing idaho's ban on gender affirming care on minors to be enforced. devin dwyer has more. >> reporter: the court did not weigh in on the merits of the law but the majority said it can be enforced while a lawsuit moves forward. idaho's law would punish doctors with up to ten years in prison if they provide puberty blockers or hormone therapy to

transgender kids under 18. it has been challenged by two families seeking that care. the court did say they can continue to receive the care in the mean time, but idaho now joins more than 20 other states in severely restricting gender affirming treatments over the objection of many medical organizations. three lib call justices said they would have kept the law on hold taking it up in the future. >> george: now severe weather on the move threatening millions. ginger tracking the storms, possible tornados. >> ginger: good morning r george. about 100 severe storm reports including up to golf ball size hail in virginia. it's back in the plains where i'd go. you're waking up in nebraska, kansas and western iowa with a tornado watch. meaning that the conditions right now are favorable for tornados. we've already seen some on the radar. what we'll anticipate as this moves through the late morning, early afternoon. early day event here. cedar rapids, parts of northeast

>> lara: we are back now with a story going viral about a father, a son and pregnant pet octopus. becky worley joins us. we know you really enjoyed wrapping your arms around this one. >> good one. you really couldn't help yourself, could you, lara? there's so much to this story. but i mean, it starts with the fact that, hasn't every kid asked their parents for a pet? puppy, kitten, turtle? but an octopus? for one family in oklahoma, of all places, eight legs quickly turned into 400 and a race to keep all those octopuses, octipi, alive. 9-year-old cal clifford of

edmond, oklahoma, has a fascination with all things octopus. >> i just loved them since i was 2. closest thing to aliens. >> this obsession got legs when dad cameron got a tank and promised they could get one. >> we're going to grow octopuses. >> thank you so much. >> the arrival of a mail order california octopus in a plastic bag was cal's dream come true. they named him terrance. but then terrance outgrew his tank. then the cliffords learned keeping an octopus tank was really hard. >> the electrical issue was a little bit scary. that was kind of a wakeup call. the reverse osmosis filter, although properly installed, had a leak. finding out that our kitchen island and floors needed to be ripped out, that was a little inconvenient. >> and then terrance the octopus became an octo mom.

>> we kind of estimated there were between 40 and 70 eggs. but every one that hatched that i saw i was able to catch and contain. it was exactly 50. >> terrance was renamed terri and the family assumed the eggs were unfertilized. but, nope. one by one they hatched. each baby got a name. >> beyonce was like, just like a baby. then swim shady was just tentacles in the air. >> my wife named that one jay-c. when the babies started hatching faster than i could catch them, i had to move a lot of them to the bathroom in small containers. they would eat each other if put in the same container. >> they took over bathroom counter tops that they deemed clamsterdam. a local reptile buff stepped in to help house the babies

temporarily. the moral of the story? >> no, don't recommend it. >> but would they have done anything different? >> nothing, really. i think he nailed it. >> the cliffords tik tok about this situation is hilarious. one said i came for the octopus saga but stayed for the dad jokes. what we do for our kids, right, lara? >> lara: unbelievable. what is the future for little jay-c and the rest of the baby octipi? >> the cliffords say they are trying to get them adopted by institutional aquariums and institutions but have turned down offers to sell them to individuals. they learned their lesson. as for the plural issue of octopus, breaking news. i reached out to the monterrey bay aquarium and they say the preferred term is octopuses. >> lara: shoot. all right. you learn something new every day on gma. thank you so much, beck. >> linsey: the moral of the story, you have to get a male

people in the arena just for a draft watch party. that's pretty incredible. i can't wait to get there and begin playing games. i know it will be a packed crowd. >> lara: they're pretty excited. our studio is also a packed crowd because of you. i was wondering though, halves more stressful, sitting there waiting for your name to be called or being on "saturday night live?" >> snl. it's not close. i have never been so nervous in my life. basketball on the national stage, easy. before they rolled me into the set, my heart was like pounding out of my chest. it went okay so -- >> linsey: you have been the face of women's basketball, march madness, been credited for being the driving force and sparking this interest in women's basketball. how are you handling all the pressure? >> honestly, i feel like it's just something that comes with it. i don't feel a lottist. i think it's just come with how i have carried myself and how i have gone about my business every single day. that's what i try to do the most. at the same time, i always remind myself, this is a team sport. i have a lot of people to rely on. outside of basketball, i always

rely on my friends and family to be there and support me. those are the biggest things. at times you can feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, but more than anything, to me, this is fun. it's a game. just enjoy it. >> michael: that is the right frame of mind, just enjoy it. we have a special message for you. >> oh gosh. >> michael: take a look. >> it's kathleen drey. i want to let us know how proud of you we are at st. francis. seems like just yesterday you were in my class. we are all cheering loud for you. my students and i are the big ef fever fans. >> that's so cute. that was my 3rd grade teacher. she had to deal with me when i was in 3rd grade and i was so competitive. sorry to her i feel bad. >> michael: she said she and her class and all the kids at her school. how about all the kids out there? what kind of message do you want to send to them and what do you want to say to them about achieving their dreams? it's been your dream as long as you can remember.

>> i think the biggest thing is just dream big. i went to the university of iowa. i'm from iowa. i always believed in myself. i think that's the biggest thing from a young age. my parents always instilled confidence in me. they never told me i couldn't achieve something. also, i worked really hard for it. that's what i'm really proud of. i earned it. i deserve it. nothing was ever given to me. yeah, more than anything, just believe in myself. that's what i'll try to take to the next level. >> george: you said you had this dream since 2nd grade. where did it come from? >> i grew up with an older brother an younger brother. i always wanted to be like my older brother. i always cried all the time. i wanted to be like him. my dad played college sport, too. he was my first ever basketball coach. i would say it's all that. >> linsey: sounds like you were born competitive. we saw some video of you the other day. maybe you were 2nd grade. your older brother learned how to ride his bike without the training wheels. was that something you can just remember that spirit of

competition as a youngster? >> i got kicked out of pe class quite a bit when i was younger. yeah. they had my parents come in and have meetings about me being too competitive in pe class. that was something. but, yeah. growing up with an older brother, he definitely pushed me. he never took it easy on me. my parents could tell from a young age how competitive i was. he learned how to ride his bike. i was like, i'm doing that, too. take my training wheels off. that's a cute little story. >> michael: is there anything you are nervous about? seems like you take everything in stride. is there something you're nervous about? >> i don't feel nervous. i feel just excited and ready. i feel the biggest thing is i felt ready for this challenge. that's why i decided to leave college. i could have come back for another year. i feel like my game is ready, my maturity, i'm ready for that. there will definitely be some nerves once i get to indianapolis, but at the same

time i feel i'm prepared for it. >> michael: we're ready for it. we're so happy you came here. >> thanks for having me. >> michael: we know there's a lot of excitement. you can get some sleep. caitlin, thank you so much. give it up one more time. [ cheers and applause ] we look forward to watching you and the rest of the wnba. congratulations to you and all the young ladies who were drafted. we are going to turn to something else very important. taxes. did you miss tax day? well, if you did, do not worry 'cause there's still a way to file. elizabeth schulze is here to help us and give us all the advice we need. elizabeth, what is the first thing people should do if they missed the deadline to file the taxes or request an extension. >> about 20 million people actually did not file their taxes by that april 15th deadline. so the first thing you gotta do here is figure out if you owe

the government money. if you do expect a refund or owe it, you can figure this out by going to an online calculator. go to a website like h&r block or turbo tax. get a basic estimate. if it looks like you're going to owe money try and pay whatever you can. here's the thing important for people to know. every day the taxes are unpaid you risk penalty and charges. the big penalty you want to know about is called the failure to file penalty. this is one that can add up quickly. basically, 5% of whatever your unpaid taxes are. up to 25% of your total tax bill. think about it. if you owe $2,000 in federal taxes, you could end up paying up to $500. interest is also going to add up over time. this is just a reason to get those done sooner rather than later. if this is the first time you missed a deadline, consider

asking the irs for a waiver. >> michael: that is if you owe money. what if you're getting a return? >> here's the good news. if you're expecting a return, it's okay if you miss the deadline. you won't face penalties. two of three people get back money from the government. if you are getting a refund, about $3,000 is the average federal income tax refund this year. that's up 5% from last year. don't leave that money on the table. get that money, claim that refund. important to do that as soon as you can, too. >> michael: lot of people counting on that refund to come in. how can you check on the status of your refund? >> it's pretty easy to do that if you filed online. go to the irs website, irs.gov/where's my refund. on that website, you'll enter your social security number, tax id number. within 24 hours of filing you can check if it's been processed, if it's been sent out, been approved. if you file online it will take about five days to show up in your bank account.

if you went through the old fashioned mail it may take a little longer. >> michael: elizabeth, thank you. if you didn't file your taxes -- >> get that money if you're owed it. >> michael: thank you so much. appreciate you. time now for pop news with lara. what do you got? >> lara: get over here, michael. we'll star with the wnba. this morning we're learning serena williams may be switching sports, guys, and heading into the owners suite. the 23 time grand slam champion already has ownership stakes in angel city fc soccer club and the golf franchise los angeles golf club. now she says she is, quote, super interested in owning a wnba team. serena also adding women's sports is having a moment that's long overdue. williams is so confident, she calls her potential investment a, quote, overly safe bet. williams didn't give any specifics on which team she's talking about, but the league did announce in 2023 that it's expanding in the bay area with a team scheduled to debut in 2025.
