you. renee. renee marsh for that report. now, neither turning point nor dream city responded to cnn's request for comment. and as i mentioned, thank you, renee, for that reported new our of cnn news central starts running no after his felony conviction, donald trump out raising president biden a reclusive billionaire, giving him a major boost, the tune of $50 while the latest poll of poll shows trump and biden in a dead heat, plus you good out there a southwest flight triggering a low altitude warning flying just 525 feet above and oklahoma town. >> now the faa he is investigating that. >> and a drastic drop in border encounters. >> the number of people entering the us illegally depths by 25%. what this means for biden in an his campaign all that and more ahead this hour i'm sara sidner with omar jimenez, jon and kate out this morning. this is cnn news central all right everyone for
5:02 am
the second month it's in a row. >> donald trump has pulled in more campaign donations, then president biden after a massive hall in the immediate aftermath of his criminal conviction in his hush money trial, trump ended may with a staggering 141 million dollars biden and the democratic party fell well short of that, even though they raised more than $85 million. last month, cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now for more on this. so geoff what do the numbers tell us here? because obviously we're talking about a lot here. >> hey, good morning, omar. we are i mean, millions and millions and that money is being spent as well, but very interesting in the filings we have been poring over the trump campaign has essentially erased the biden cash advantage. this has been something that's been consistent month by month by month. president biden and his
5:03 am
team have outraised the trump campaign that changed in an instant around the time of trump's guilty verdict back just to last month. take a look at these numbers just from the month of may as you were saying, the biden campaign raised at $5 million to trump campaign raise 100 $141 million. many of those were through small-dollar donations. so trump campaign says, was because of people are registering their concern, their outrage over that conviction. now, what we don't know exactly is how much the trump campaign has on hand at this moment, the biden campaign going into june has a cash on hand of 212 million. they've already been spending much of that in battleground states in a big advertising campaign, the trump campaign has spent far less than that. but there is no doubt heading into the summer months, the last of four-and-a-half months of the election, if you will, there is a central parity, perhaps not a big surprise, and money was never going to be the driving factor of this rates both sides will have a lot, but certainly
5:04 am
the trump campaign erasing that financial advantage is one sort of hurdle they have climbed here. the question is going forward, how will they spend that money? will they save it for legal fees or will they invest it in television advertising campaigns as well? >> alright, jeff, we are what, six days away now from the first and historic trump biden rematch on the debate stage, there are gonna be some differences from what we have seen in the past. what can we expect? >> without question, i mean, the two men will still be standing on stage. it's actually the last time either of the two have met together. and it's the last time either of the two have debated but the set of issues this year is so, so much different. take a look the historic rematch between joe biden and donald trump there's anything but a rerun, a vastly different set of issues are driving this race as the president and former president come face-to-face for the first debate of the 2024 campaign four years since they shared a stage for the worst
5:05 am
america has ever had in 47 months. >> i've done more than you've done in 47 years. joe feels like an upside down lifetime ago back when the coronavirus pandemic was raging understand if you look, i mean, i have a mask right here. >> i put a mask on it when i think i needed this is his economy has been he shut down in the biden trump's sequel, an entire fairly new fight has been brewing on the campaign trail. you could end up in world war three with this person is the worst president ever. >> and in tv ads this election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family that offers a window into the new issues and fresh lines of attack. >> a reminder of just how much the country, the world and yes they have changed from an insurrection and all its fallout to a new fight on abortion rights in the wake of the us supreme court overturning roe versus wade to russia's invasion of ukraine
5:06 am
and a war in the middle east to the very stark question of america's role in the world yet the economy, inflation, and immigration are still at the center of it. all trump's record was at the heart of their last debates, even as he sought to deflect if he gets in, you will have a depression the likes of which you've never seen your foro. one case will go to hell and it'll be a very, very sad day for this country while those warnings didn't come to pass, biden's record is now under the microscope, complicating is effort to make it a referendum on trump, the fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply ally. >> i'm not here to call out his lies. everybody knows he's a liar and america's oldest presidential candidates, or even older trump's 78 biden 81 with age and fitness for office. now a central issue in the race public opinion for presidents can be punishing biden's favorability has fallen 11 point since 2020, with nearly six in ten americans holding an
5:07 am
unfavorable view, perceptions of trump have changed less with more than half still seeing him in an unfavorable light. televised debates have long been a storied part of presidential campaigns stream making moments for candidates. >> here you go again, get this showdown is without parallel. the nation's 45th and 46 president's still seeking to define one another in the earliest general election debates in memory and all dual being fought on new ground and history does offer no guide for this. >> we have never seen a sitting president and a former president side-by-side on the debate stage. and there was a coin toss just yesterday, the president, president biden elected to stand on the right side of the stage. i'm told that as the side here first it's his good side, if you will. and former president donald trump, he will have the last word in the debate. of course, the earliest one on record that could define the rest of this presidential campaign hi one dissipated. and

5:14 am
talking about this right now is a win for trump, as this trial, this further delayed all of this as the new york times now reporting the judge who approved this morning's hearing was advised multiple times by her peers that's the judges, to step down from this case. katelyn polantz following all of this kaitlan, walk us through what the other judges were saying to her and why yeah, these other judges were calling budge aileen cannon, right after donald trump was indicted and she was randomly selected to oversee this case up in that fort pierce courthouse where she's the only judge up there. >> it's quite remote and one of the judges called her and suggested to her actually might be better to have this case about three hours south or even two hours south in a different courthouse that was more equipped for national security matters. perhaps you should hand it off to a more experienced judge and then because she didn't step down
5:15 am
from the case at that time, there was another call that was placed her from the chief judge in the southern district of florida. according to the new york times, in that call that judge spoke to her about how it might not be great optics for her to continue on this case. she's quite an inexperienced jurist, having not a lot of trial experience, not a lot of political experience, not a lot of national security variance either on this classified documents, mishandling case, and the judge mentioned to her how she had handled things in the investigation where she essentially blocked the justice department from investigating after they pulled all of those boxes of classified records out of mar-a-lago and was then overturned by more experienced judges above her in the appeals court she did not give up the case at that time. that is what we know because she's still on it and she's having hearings one today, another one monday,
5:16 am
one on tuesday that are looking at at some requests from trump as well as from prosecutors. today's hearing is going to be a long day in court where everyone is arguing about the validity of the special counsel's office, the power that office has to bring charges other judges across the country of signed off on the special counsel's office, but judge aileen cannon, she wants to hear for everything, including for people not even involved in the case. >> sarah this is caused huge delays. everyone thought this might go before the election that is clearly not happening. i do want to talk to you about what has happened with trump's former adviser steve bannon and appeals court made a decision that deeply affects him. what happened yes, you ban and convicted two years ago on contempt of congress for refusing to turn over information in that january 6 investigation, and he is going to prison. >> his report date is july 1 he said to go to the federal prison in danbury, connecticut,
5:17 am
and he is trying to get out of that or hold it off. it's not happening as of right now at trial, judge says he needs to go to prison service time for months and now an appeals court as of last night, sara also said the same bannon is not very happy about a lot of things right now as that date approaches, it's possible he tries with the supreme court as well, but he's out there on his podcast at speeches with conservatives talking about how there's going to be retribution for political opponents are perceived political enemies of donald trump. he said specifically about andrew mccabe, one of the former top if bi officials in the trump era, we're going to come and get you. here's how andy mccabe responded to that with anderson cooper last night this they've been doing this to me, donald trump's been doing this for years. i'll be fine it's about people who will be experiencing this for the first time. and more
5:18 am
importantly, their families i talked to former officials and everyone is in the same place like we are still committed to this country. and seeing this through, we still have faith in this systems that are, that are built to protect the rights of every american. but that's a hard thing to explain to your family when their thinking basically they don't want to have to live in this kind of fear and terror for another four years. what's really to me shocking and disgusting about the rhetoric is what it says about who we are becoming as a nation and the fact that a person who is quite possibly the next president of the united states is engaging in this level of absolutely fine fundamentally, anti-democratic rhetoric and behavior. and ideation everything he says is stands in direct contrast to, the nation that we think we
5:19 am
are, the nation that we have always been. but i think people have got to start asking themselves, is this the direction? that we want to go? is this the country that we're becoming a place where an incoming president takes the levers of power and uses them for his own gratification to pursue enemies and yet steve bannon keeps talking. he remains in touch with donald trump as far as we understand through our sources and also what we hear from him publicly. but it may be difficult to hear from steve you've bannon starting july 1, the whole way through the end of october, sara, that's right. all right. katelyn polantz. thank you so much for all of that reporting for us this morning. omar. >> all right. a lot to talk about with me now, to help talk about all of this, is defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, shan wu. i'm all right. shan, where do you want to start here? let's start with helene cannon, because obviously we've got the two reporting that to federal judges urged her to give up this case. i mean, how unusual
5:20 am
is have you have you ever seen that? >> it's really unusual, even the fact that we're hearing about and these are the backroom back-channel conversations is very rare i mean, i've worked for federal judges and two things to note, i think omar first if the chief judge speaks to you, it's not that they have direct supervisory authority in that sense. but there's an enormous amount of deference is given to the chief judge and for them to express that opinion to her and for her basically two bowed off is really a very unusual situation. then let's start with the fact that the chief judge took it upon himself to speak to her this notion that she was to an inexperienced to take the case. i take that with a grain of salt. i mean, got to start somewhere and mr. first case, it's a big one. it's reversed case. there's lot of confidence these young judges, lot of support given them to me that really signals his lack of confidence in her judgment because she already made that horrible debacle out of trying
5:21 am
to interfere with the criminal investigation so as a very, very unusual situation. >> and look, today, obviously, the defense on trump's side is going to try and get the charges against trump dismissed on the grounds that special counsel counsel jack smith was improperly appointed. i know you do not believe in that strategy at all, so just explain how unusual that is and whether you you think there's even a sliver of chance for that to go through yeah. >> what's really unusual about it is that there's even this much time being devoted to it. i mean, this is something i mean, they can raise what arguments they want and maybe frivolous, but a good, competent judge was simply just dismisses on the papers she is holding like a complete hearing on it. all of the supreme court having amicus people come in, having them actually argue the issues. it's really there's no legs to stand on it all. obviously, there have been tons of special counsels have been appointed in the past and various forms and there's nothing in the constitution that prohibits that. i mean, the language and the arguments
5:22 am
that they use is kinda just it's the equivalent them saying, hey the constitution prohibits anybody but an ally of president trump being empowered. it's a silly as that. and yet she's giving it the full hearing yeah. >> no, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out today before we go, i just want to ask you about steve bannon really quickly because we were just listening to caitlin and appeals court rejected his efforts to stay out of jail while he appeals his contempt of congress conviction. so he's still set to go to prison on july 1st. but can you walk us through? how the appeals court made this decision? and does he have any legitimate fallback options i don't think he has any fallback options. >> he certainly may seek the higher review by the supreme court might be useful. the contrast them to peter navarro, who tried to do the same thing and also failed to put off doing his sentence. he's almost done. if you compare the two of them, navarro had a much stronger position because at least he had a formal policy role with the administration making these arguments in both
5:23 am
instances, they were convicted and there's really no sound legal basis for bannon to put this off. and i would add if she keeps talking this way and these very threatening sorts of ways, maybe he's up to the line of not making overt threats, but he's going to talk himself into another charge or he's not careful if shan wu says there is no sound legal basis than that is the truth ladies and gentlemen, shan wu, really appreciate it. thanks for being here. >> good to see you. >> alright. coming up a significant drop in migrant arrests at the southern border is president biden's asylum action actually making a difference or swaying? and ukraine launching new drone strikes on russia after a policy shift from the pentagon, the biden administration's new move, two quotes ensure ukraine's survival stay with us you know, they just don't make things like they used to, like garden hoses. >> they tangled kink and then they leak. and a sun turns

5:28 am
and as you said, since president biden announced those new asylum rules, it's now down 25%. now, these numbers do fluctuate over time and they it's for a variety of reasons, including conditions in the countries where these migrants are coming from. but certainly, i think this will be welcomed news for the white house who has for so long been trying to neutralize this issue of immigration. it's a major political vulnerability for president biden, and they have been trying so hard really over the last several years to show that they have control over what's going on on the southern border. and these new numbers do reflect significant decreases from some of those highs that we saw earlier in the biden administration. now, this new asylum rule that the president announced a few weeks ago, it essentially allows the president to shut down the border to asylum seekers when the number of people crossing reaches a certain level, 2,500 per day, that level has been
5:29 am
reached well before the president, he made this announcement. so it essentially went into effect right away. it hasn't been universally popular. and in fact, the aclu has already changed challenged it in court, but certainly these numbers, i think do give an indication to the white house that some of these steps that they're taking have been working. sara. >> all right. kevin lab tak. thank you so much for your reporting on this this morning. omar well, a lot more coming up, including as we wait for potential new supreme court opinions this morning, we're waiting to see if justice samuel alito will take the bench. he was mia get on thursday. we'll explain coming up i'm richard card and i love my host. >> my host is lightweight my hose will not kink and my hose is anti leak it ate those old hoses. this is my host. >> the new pocket hose, copper bullet, now infused with real kopan. >> so your water is all please clean and lead free. just turn

5:36 am
be anything. but it is unusual, sarah, that on a day thursday when the justices are not just taking the bench, but they also were meeting in a private session that he wouldn't be there and it could be anything. so today at 10:00 a.m. eastern, i'll be watching to make sure that all nine around the bench, but then also there are who else might be in special guest seats? what, who shows up for this one of our last days of the session. and most importantly, what the justices hand down, as you know, we have about 18 major cases left to be decided for this term. we're in probably the one of the last four days of the session extending into next week and possibly into july 1st. and we've got cases that could affect the upcoming presidential election. one involves of whether former president donald trump would be subject to criminal prosecution for election subversion from the last election shin in 2020
5:37 am
that's one of the cases that we're waiting for. we're also waiting to see what the justices say about whether several of the january 6 rioters who attacked the capital back in 2021 would be subject to charge that could mean up to 20 years in prison. corruptly obstruct 15 an official proceeding, and donald, one of donald trump's four charges by special counsel. jack smith on behalf of the justice department, also involves obstruction of an official proceeding. so the contours of that law will be decided by the justices. and then of course, we were waiting for a major abortion case that the white house of sort of bracing to see what the justices say. there's a federal law that requires emergency room treatment across the country for many needy person, including a woman who might be suffering complications from a pregnancy. and the question is, does that law eclipse state

laws that ban abortion? could a woman get that kind of health care? that's another one. sarah, that we're waiting for. >> and you noted for us that it would be unusual for all of these big cases not to be decided now and go into july. but that is where we may be. we will wait and see. right. joan if that's right, because here's the thing here and you understand deadlines as well as just about anyone because of being in the news business they for decades they have wanted to get out by the end of june. >> and for decades they have gotten out of by the end of june, there have been rare exceptions but this year because of where 4 july holiday falls later in the week the following week, they might go over to july 1st. again because those trump cases are so difficult for them, they could come as early as today, but they could come as late as july 1 or horrors, maybe even july second, which would be really bucking the tradition of the supreme court. sarah.

5:46 am
house for $19 i'm kevin lip ttac at the white house. >> and this is cnn all right. >> a major development overnight, ukraine launched a mass drone attack on russia's southern krasnodar region, at least one person was reported dead in this comes as the us has signaled, a willingness to expand existing policy to allow for ukrainian attacks into russia. cnn's the tasha bertrand and joins me now natasha, what more are we learning about this yeah, so
5:47 am
this marks a pretty significant expansion of the policy change that the biden administration had made earlier this month? >> allowing ukraine to use us made weapons to strike into russian territory. now initially that policy was understood to just really be limited to the kharkiv region where russia was just across the border firing into ukraine in that region. and ukraine essentially how to tans tied behind its back could not use us weapons to strike russia back right across that border. the us lifted that policy but said that it was really restricted to the just that one area. well, now we're learning that national security adviser jake sullivan has said publicly that this policy actually expands to anywhere along the ukraine-russia border where you, where russia is firing into ukraine and trying to take ukrainian territory according to us officials, where ukraine sees that russia is using its territory to launch those attacks than ukraine can fire back. but still, it is really just limited to the border. the
5:48 am
us has made very clear that they don't want to see you ukraine using those long range atacms missiles to fire deep into russian territory because that would mark a pretty significant escalation. and so while we have seen, you a crane, use other kinds of weapons, not us provided to strike deep into russia the us is still saying, look, you cannot use the weapons that we give you to hit that fall our into the country, but still this is very significant because it essentially means that where russia is launching attacks from right over the border, ukraine. now can use those us weapons to hit back and for some, i mean, it could be a momentum shifter and this war, at least for ukraine, at least that's what they hope that ends up being these capabilities. natasha bertrand really appreciate it. sir. >> alright, thank you, mom. i'm joined now by neto, secretary general yan stoltenberg. i want to thank you, sir, for coming on this morning with all that is going on in the world and i know you've been visiting with
5:49 am
different partners. i do want to ask you about china and russia right now. they are of course, nuclear powers. you told the telegraph a few days ago, essentially that nato should be clear about its nuclear if abilities and even take some of its nukes out of storage. why well, night to house a nuclear deterrent and that has been part of our deterrence against an aggression for decades. >> so that's nothing then you what is happening now is that we are modernizing this nuclear deterrent partly by replacing some old f6 in an aircraft and replacing them with fifth-generation f 35's and also the us is more than i was seeing. the weapons they have deployed two europe. so these are, this is a combination of us weapons, deployed in europe and european allies providing the plane. so this is the nato nucleus returned, and this is
5:50 am
more than is to ensure that there's no misunderstanding about nieto's result to prevent war, to preserve peace by having a credible deterrence. >> is this something that native countries are considering considering what is happening there in ukraine with russia's war, there well, this has been an effort which has been going on for so a long time so this is formatted, not nothing new, and we have been transparent on this all the way so of course, the purpose of having credible deterrence is not to provoke a conflict, but is to prevent the conflict as nature has done for 75 years. and also, doing the coldest and most difficult pill the cold war, we were able to prevent any armed attack against nato ally and that's because we have a credible deterrence. sending a message to moscow and the older potential so that an attack on one ally will trigger the response from the whole alliance and by doing that in a credible way, we are preserving
5:51 am
peace, preventing more i want to ask you about something that anthony blinken said, the secretary of state in the last 48 hours saying that china is basically propping up russia's war against ukraine by providing critical elements, critical components that's helping russia make things like munitions, missiles, armored vehicles, tanks what do you think should be done about that and should china face some punishment from native allies? china. i'm person she wants to in a way, buildup the gun on pressure that they are taking a back seat in the conflict in ukraine. that's not correct because so china is the main provider of support to russia, enabling them to build all the weapons. and conduct a war aggression against ukraine in 90%, for instance on the micro processors that russia imported last year, they came from
5:52 am
china. and china is really poor up up the russian war economy, enabling them to build the missiles, the bombs, they're using against the grain. so therefore, trying to have it both ways, they cannot continue to have normal trade relationship with european nato allies. and at the same time fueling the most serious conflict we have seen europe since the handler second world war and at some stage, i strongly be that nadler should consider some kind of economic sanctions or awesome restrictions unless china doesn't change their support to russia i want to turn now to the middle east where the war rages on between israel and hamas in gaza hezbollah leader hassan nesarc new strophe has said less than 24 hours ago that that he would attack the european nation of cyprus if israel invades lebanon. >> that has belonged would attack cyprus if israel invades
5:53 am
lebanon how serious of a threat do you think this is i think is important to realize that the war in gaza under the tensions i'll see increasing throughout the middle east is serious and we had to take any threat of escalation seriously that's also why we need to be very clear when it comes to the de-stabilizing behavior of his polo, supported by iran and any escalation will fueled more conflict, more destruction. >> and that's the reason why i welcome the efforts by 60 blinken by the united states president biden. to find a way to siesta hostilities to agree a ceasefire and to reduce tensions in the middle east. >> how would nato response to
5:54 am
that if that indeed happened? and cyprus was under attack by hezbollah cyprus is not the nato ally. and i don't think it's right to speculate. but first of all, i think it's important to prevent that from happening and to convey very clear message to his balad and also two other iran-backed groups in the region that the escalation is dangerous and should not happen secretary general yawn stoltenberg. thank you so much for joining us. appreciate your time this morning with all that is going on in the world omar all right. >> thank you, sarah, the federal aviation administration is investigating a southwest airlines flight. they got a little too close to the ground before eventually landing on wednesday, about nine miles out from will rogers world airport in oklahoma city, the plane descended to just 525 feet above the ground. and that's just half the height of the empire state building and it wound up landing safely, but that close call has the faa asking questions, which means
5:55 am
cnn's pete man teen joins us now. all right. pete you and i have talked many times about close calls too many times, probably with airlines like these. what do we know about the latest details here well, the air traffic controllers and a collision warning system that they haven't in front of them really save the day here, but even still, this is really alarming, especially since this, if this is the second incident and as many months involving a southwest flight getting too low to the ground as latest case happened just after midnight on wednesday morning, the southwest flight was coming into land. >> at will rogers world airport in oklahoma city. apparently lined up to land on the runway, pointed to the southeast, still about nine miles from the airport one pilots apparently got the plane down too low. the data from flight rate are 24, says as low as 525 feet above ground level. we're talking about the height of the washington monument, not very high. it's very low for the distance from the airport. >> the faa says a system called the minimum safe altitude
5:56 am
warning system or m saw. >> an alarm sounded in the tower property thing that controller to issue southwest 40, 69 low altitude alert. here is the audio from liveatc 40, 69 low wealth through or the pilots and climbed backed up, maneuvered for a safe landing. nobody hurt except maybe the egos of the pilots, the faa says it's investigating. southwest is also doing its own internal investigation. and here's what the airline says in a statement. south plus this following. it's robust safety management system is in contact with the faa to understand and address any irregularities with the aircraft's approach to the airport. nothing is more important to southwest than the safety of our customers and employees. >> the question here is how this can happen. >> did the pilots improperly configure their instruments like in the korean air crash, flight 801 that hit the side of a mountain where they simply fatigued after a long day. remember this flight was coming
5:57 am
in after midnight. pilots i talked to say they've been especially worked hard lately, omar yeah. and i guess that leads me to my next question here is is this a pilot error issue or is it a plane issue that we should be looking at here sounds like they're warnings work the way they should have no doubt that the tension will go straight to the pilots and that will be the big question for investigators. >> of course, they will want to interview them. they'll also want to listen to the cockpit voice recorder porter but remember that ultimately automatically deletes after only a few hours. there was a push to make that longer. the data is stored for 25 hours instead of only a couple hours. and so if that evaporates into thin air, that leaves investigators at a big disadvantage here. the good news here is the layers of safety worked and that low altitude the alerting system in use by air traffic control really stopped the accident chain that was really barreling toward disaster. omar thank you, pete. >> always great at putting this into perspective for us. and if for you guys at home, if you
5:58 am
didn't see him perspective, this is the amount that we're talking about right here. you see the empire state building that is how close? this aircraft got to the ground before again, they were able to make a safe landing and pete mateen laying out the details for us, really appreciate it, sir. >> thank you, omar. when a houston area family of highly trained taekwondo athletes heard a scream they jumped into action, stopping a man who the harris county sheriff says was trying to sexually assault a woman. and that family held the suspect down until police arrived. salman and along with his father, siblings and grandfather all came to the rescue. he joins me now. thank you so much for talking with us. can you explain to me exactly what happened, what you heard? and then what you did you and your family did when you heard this noise next door i don't think we have his audio at this point in time.
5:59 am
i'm going to wait to see if we might get it. let me know you guys. if if now, i think i hear simon. simon, i think we can now hear you. i apologize for that technical difficulty. >> i'm sorry. >> no worries. describe what it is that you and your family did and how it all happened so around 350 to 4:00. >> that's when we came up our lunch break and we were just parking up to our tech window building. and that's why in my diet saw something in the cricket building that he just he just saw two people hugging and he thought nothing of it and so when he was exiting his car, he heard a loud screen. i didn't hear it personally because i was in a far back of the car but then he was like, okay maybe it was more of a horse play. so then he was going up to our telco no building to open it and so that's when all of us heard a second screen and it was loud,
6:00 am
very loud. i would describe it as a horror scream. it was very high-pitched from i'm there, my dad kinda lead all of us towards that cricket building and when he opened the entrance door, he heard another screen. and from there he just ran into the employee's. room in the back what did you all see? what did your dad describing as you and your grandfather? everyone's going in together. what did you what did you witness when my dad went into that employees room and opened it, he just saw a man on top of the woman with his hand over her mouth okay. and he intervenes at that point tell me about the intervention. was it did you use some of the taekwondo that you all are experts in an ever thought that you would have to use that in a situation like this? >> just our first instance, which is saved the girl. i mean, the man was on top of he
