on roy moore. how does the white house explain this? and by weighing in does the president make himself vulnerable. here's cecilia vega tonight. >> reporter: it didn't take long for president trump to weigh in on that photo of senator al franken as he appeared to grope a sleeping woman in a late night tweet the president said -- >> the al frankenstein picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words. where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 while she sleeps? and to think that just last week he was lecturing anyone who would listen about sexual harassment and respect for women. that searing rebuke came just hours after the accusations against the minnesota democrat became public but as for the more than week old allegations accusing alabama republican senate candidate roy moore of sexual misconduct? >> should roy moore resign mr. president? do you believe his accusers? >> reporter: the president ignored our questions, repeatedly. >> should judge moore drop out, mr. president? >> reporter: with those non-answers and that attack on

franken tonight, the allegations of sexual misconduct against president trump himself are back in the spotlight. from that "access hollywood" tape. >> you know i'm automatically attracted to beautiful -- i just start kissing them. it's like a magnet. just kiss. i don't even wait. and when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. >> whatever you want. >> grab them by the [ bleep ] >> reporter: to the more than dozen women who came forward during the campaign alleging everything from sexual assault to harassment and inappropriate behavior. >> all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. >> today we put the question to the white house. if it is fair to investigate al franken and the allegation made by his accuser, is it also fair to investigate this president and the allegations of sexual misconduct made against him by more than a dozen women? >> look, i think this was covered pretty extensively

during the campaign. we addressed that then. the american people i think spoke very loud and clear when they elected this president. >> how is this different? >> i think in one case specifically senator franken has admitted wrongdoing and the president hasn't. i think that's a very clear distinction. >> reporter: today, no sign of franken in the wake of radio host leeann tweeden's bombshell claims about their work together on a uso tour in 2006. in addition to that photo, she says he kissed her forcefully and against her will. >> i was just disgusted, you know. and i just felt like he betrayed my trust. >> reporter: today on "the view", she revealed she's now received a letter of apology. >> it says dear leeann i want to apologize to you personally. i am so sorry. sincerely al franken. the president tweeting about senator franken but this is not a topic the white house wants to talk about right now. >> reporter: this is a point of frustration. aides would much rather talk about tax reform.

message to president trump, you're welcome -- >> i personally think he owes us a thank you. >> have you noticed you're not hearing too much about russia? >> reporter: but moore refused to take questions -- >> mrs moore, any message to the accusers? any message about the allegations? >> reporter: like her husband only discussing the allegations on their terms. >> i'll quit standing when they lay me in that box and put me in the ground. >> reporter: at his first news conference since the scandal broke, roy moore dodging questions. we followed him trying to get answers. his supporters outraged. >> you are the fake lying news from the swamp -- >> look at the mob. these people are sick in desperate need of jesus and they hate, hate, hate. >> reporter: the latest poll shows moore down, but the alabama republican party is still with him. so is the governor kay ivey who

said today she'll vote for moore despite the accusations against him. >> are you gonna be proud of your vote for roy moore? >> every alabamian has a right and duty to vote and i'm proud to vote. >> and do you believe any of the women who have brought accusations against roy moore? >> i certainly have no reason to disbelieve any of them. >> tom, we heard the governor there, she says she has no reason not to believe the women but she made it clear she'll vote for roy moore. >> she want as republican in the seat because she wants republicans to hold a majority in the senate. we have heard from other alabama officials and voters here in the state. whether or not roy moore acted inappropriately for them he's the republican with the best chance of winning. >> tom, thank you. there are two major fires to report on tonight. first authorities coming before the cameras a short time ago near philadelphia revealing some residents of a senior living facility are still unaccounted for tonight. that fire burning quickly

through the buildings overnight. an urgent effort to get 160 people out. neighbors racing in to help and abc's eva pilgrim is outside philadelphia on the scene. >> reporter: tonight authorities in a desperate search for those unaccounted for in the massive inferno that ripped through this assisted senior living facility outside philadelphia. police asking for a mass casualty response with many additional ambulances. >> reporter: more than 400 emergency workers scrambling through the night to save the elderly residents, many couldn't escape on their own. desperate blanket-wrapped patients loaded onto school buses. the road crowded with wheelchairs and beds. firefighters attacking the blaze from above on ladders. >> one of our firefighters went as far as he could until he could feel his helmet actually start to melt. >> reporter: tonight officials trying to make sure everyone got out. >> we can't get into the structure. it's too unsafe so the origin and cause is undetermined at this point. in the massive rescue,

160 residents and workers evacuated. 27 taken to area hospitals, mostly with smoke inhalation. david? >> eva, thank you. and the other major fire burning at this hour right here in new york city. firefighters facing a five alarm fire of their own. aerial images coming in this evening showing a six-story apartment building engulfed with more than 200 firefighters battling the blaze. 34 apartments in the building. five injuries reported already including four firefighters all suffering nonlife threatening injuries. that's in the hamilton heights neighborhood of manhattan. the hunt in a missing submarine case. last heard from two days ago now deep beneath the sea. they are hoping for a signal. any kind of signal. dozens of crew members onboard that submarine. here's matt gutman. >> reporter: that massive search off the coast of argentina and a

nation waiting for a ping of life from the missing submarine. the san kwaun is one of three submarines. the crew navigating the seas by paper charts and periscopes. it was supposed to be a routine trip from the southern tip of the continent to the san juan's home base. argentina has deployed helicopters in the search about 250 miles off the argentine coast. a fire onboard knocked out communications at some point on wednesday. >> if you don't know where the submarine is, where it's in distress, then you can have all the rescue gear in the world and it's not going to make a difference. >> reporter: we learned the u.s. has deployed a plane to the search site and the rescue operation urgent because only enough air left in the submarine to last the crew for a number of

hours. david. >> matt, thank you. next the outrage this evening after a decision by the trump administration lifting a ban on importing trophies of elephants hunted in africa. here's abc's david wright. >> reporter: the majestic african elephant is still a "threatened" species. but as of today big game hunters who kill these creatures in zambia or zimbabwe will be allowed to get their trophies through u.s. customs. president trump is not a big game hunter. but his sons are. that's don junior in 2012, an elephant tail in one hand, a knife in the other. in an interview two years ago don junior insisted the money hunters spend on safari helps protect these creature sghs that money goes to fund the anti-poaching leagues. >> reporter: but his own mother seems to disapprove.
