7:03 am
to overturn the 2020 election. that puts his trial on hold serving the former president's strategy of pushing his trials past the presidential election. chief washington correspondent jon karl starts us off. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. in deciding to take up the issue of presidential immunity, the supreme court has effectively delayed the most far reaching criminal case against donald trump, raising the real possibility that the trial in that case could be pushed back to late summer or fall, or possibly until after the presidential election. the supreme court is now on track to weigh in on claim donald trump has made, both in the courtroom and on the campaign trail. >> the president has to have immunity. there is nothing more important to a presidency than immunity. >> reporter: donald trump's claim of absolute immunity is central to his defense against the allegation that he illegally tried to overturn the 2020 election in an effort that culminated in the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol.
7:04 am
the trial in that case, brought by special counsel jack smith, was originally scheduled to start next week, but is now on hold as the supreme court considers trump's immunity claims. the high court scheduled arguments in case for late april, with a decision not coming until several weeks after that, possibly in june. whether or not the supreme court agrees with trump's claim that a president, even a former president, is immuned from criminal prosecution for virtually anything done while in office, the delay is already something of a trump victory, raising the real possibility that the trial could be pushed back until after the presidential election. earlier this month federal appeals court unanimously rejected trump's immunity claim, ruling that his, quote, stance would collapse our system of separated powers, adding, we cannot accept that the office of the presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time thereafter.
7:05 am
with this delay, even if the trial was able to happen before the election, it would likely take place against the back drop of the political conventions later in the summer, or in the heat of the fall campaign, possibly, george, after voters in several states have already started casting their ballots. >> jon, another judge in illinois has thrown donald trump off the ballot. that's not likely to hold for long. >> reporter: no. this is the third state to make such a move, but the supreme court has heard arguments on this and we're expecting their decision any day now. that decision will affect all of this and the justices sure seem skeptical with the idea that trump could be thrown off the ballot. >> jon karl, thank you very much. let's bring in dan abrams. let's go to the supreme court. this question of immunity is not likely to be a close call. they will rule against donald trump there. why take it? >> because they want to put their stamp on it. the u.s. supreme court wants to weigh in on an incredibly
7:06 am
important question. look, this really is all about the clock. it always has been about the clock. i think donald trump and his legal team know they're not going to win the argument that he is completely immune, that the president has complete and total immunity. the question is, when do they decide that? and now this is a really big win for donald trump if you look at his effort, as an effort to delay. >> why take 16 days to decide this? why schedule arguments two months from now? >> reporter: the 16 days shows there was some dissent within the justices about what to do here. yeah, they could have expedited it even more. look, the easiest way to deal with moving it forward would have been to say, as they do in most cases, we're not gonna hear it. right? the appellate court has ruled on this.
7:07 am
we're gonna simply say this is not a case that the supreme court is going to weigh in on. and the appellate court decision would have stood against donald trump. the court not saying that. and then also not moving it quite as quickly as they could have. so i now think it's very unlikely that you're going to see this. >> one final question. could the judge, assume he's not immune, schedule the trial for november 8th? even if donald trump wins, he still has to face trial. >> that's one of the questions a professor asks in class. theoretically possible. practically, there's absolutely no way the judge is going to schedule the trial for after the slt election. there's just no way. by the way, i don't think the department of justice is going to allow the case to move forward even in the 60 days before the election. i don't think any of that period becomes a realistic possibility, although theoretically it's possible. >> thanks. >> you've been covering politics for decades. cannot underscore how unprecedented all of this is. >> last time we saw something
7:08 am
like this where it had such a major impact was bush v. gore in 2000. of course they stopped counting of the votes in florida which ended up helping george w. bush. >> all right, george. thank you. dan, appreciate it. now the devastating wild fires in the texas panhandle. nearly 1 million acres burned, with one of the fires spreading to the largest in texas history. mola lenghi is on the scene, has the latest for us. good morning, mola. >> reporter: good morning, robin. officials confirming one person killed in these fires. about 15 miles from where we are here. this as they are just now beginning to assess and realize all of the damage. homes and businesses like this completely lost. and this morning, fires continuing to rage. overnight those vicious wild fires in the texas panhandle turning deadly, as the devastation left in their path comes into view. local officials confirming at
7:09 am
least one woman now dead. homes reduced to ash, drone video showing swaths of burned land, as smoke billows across the plains. the fires stretching from the small towns. nearly 1 million acres of scorched earth as firefighters work to contain the blaze, many pouring into shelters. >> we had 50 plus people that came through. >> reporter: the fires so massive they could be seen from space. >> you have extremely high winds, dry fuel and low relative humidity. those conditions really make for a situation where these fires can grow rapidly. >> reporter: evacuating in a panic, some folks returned to find the charred remains of what was once their living rooms, their kitchens, their cars. their home. mallory wilhelm raised her kids in their home of 11 years. now this is all that remains. when you first put eyes on it, how did that hit you? >> made it feel real. it still doesn't feel real. just gut wrenching.
7:10 am
>> reporter: this driver face to face with flame, embers whipping against the windshield. and video capturing the home of the sheriff and his wife rachel burning to the ground. barely had time to escape. >> get some clothes, get your medicines, what you needed, get your animals and go. >> reporter: but the community here stays resilient. >> we're lucky to be alive. we'll make it through. >> reporter: firefighters making some progress yesterday but this is still very much a race against time. conditions are expected to get worse, with winds expected to get much stronger today, michael. >> winds are always a problem, mola. we're going to bring in sam champion, in for ginger, starting with the forecast for this fire zone. sam, good morning. >> good morning, michael. it's incredibly important. that fire in two days became texas' second largest wild fire. as mola said, the winds will be about 30 miles per hour today but there's stronger winds coming in this weekend.
7:11 am
we're waiting for the texas a&m fire service to come out with their new measurement today. it may be the largest one in texas. now, watch this cold front sweep through. 30 mile per hour winds all the way into the weekend. some gusts to 40-60 miles per hour. that east cold cold front has 60 to 70 mile winds. look at the tree damage in atlanta. we had tree damage in new york, lake effect snow in syracuse. the latest syracuse or lake effect snow is around 10 inches. that could be 14 inches with this cold air. new york you get a chill day today but you're going to mild up by the time we get towards the weekend. these are record temperatures that come in by the weekend, guys. so there's a lot of warmth coming back into play for the middle of next week. >> can't you just get it to stay? >> one way or the other, would be great. >> sam, thank you very much for that. we're going to turn now to president biden and donald trump both heading to our southern border today to highlight one of the top issues in this year's election. chief white house correspondent
7:12 am
mary bruce is at the border in brownsville, texas. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, michael. these rare duelling visits here to the border today, president biden and donald trump will outline very different vision for how to tackle this immigration crisis. the president is expected to meet with border patrol and once again blame donald trump for taking that bipartisan border deal that would have included some soft toughest reforms in decade. it would have imposed stricter asylum restrictions, included daily limits on border crossing, billions for security. but donald trump pressured republicans to kill that bill to deny president biden a political win. donald trump is also eager to run on this issue in november. he is already promising mass deportations if elected and ratcheting up his rhetoric today trump and biden will make their case as they both look to open this issue in november. >> president biden went for his annual physical yesterday. what did we learn from that? >> reporter: his doctor said the president is fit to serve. he found no new health concerns
7:13 am
over the last year. he did say that the president is, quote, a healthy active robust 81-year-old. the annual exam did not, however, include a mental fitness test. doctors didn't think it was necessary. the white house argued the president pass a cognitive test every day just by doing his job. michael? >> mary, thank you very much. robin? now the big change coming to the senate. mitch mcconnell says he will step down as republican leader at the ends of the year ending his run as the longest serving senate leader. our senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is here on who could replace him. >> reporter: hey, robin. good morning. after 18 years in republican leadership, mitch mcconnell announcing he is stepping down from the position. the 82-year-old had a series of recent health scares in the last self-years, including a bad fall just last year. those alarming moments where he appeared to freeze mid sentence during press conferences. now mitch mcconnell, of course
7:14 am
thrb , this is all about the politics of the party. he has not spoken with donald trump in years. he refused to go along with his effort to overturn the 2020 election. he blocked president obama from filling a vacancy during an election year, allowing three of trump's choices. he said he is sorry to hear that. they used to fight like hell, but he never misrepresented anything. robin? >> mentioning the president. president's son was on capitol hill yesterday. what can you tell us? >> reporter: hunter biden testified behind closed doors for seven hours as republicans push the impeachment. so far they provided no concrete evidence of any wrongdoing by president biden. much of this played out behind closed doors but the transcript will be released in the coming day, robin. >> thank you. michael? now new scrutiny on boeing.
7:15 am
the justice department is now investigating its midair door blowout captured on camera in january. gio benitez is here with more. good morning, gio. >> good morning. multiple sources are telling abc news the doj is investigating the door plug blowout. you see the video right there. you remember when that door plug flew off a 737 max 9 in january while the alaska airlines flight was 16,000 feet in the air. the plane made an emergency landing. while no one was hurt, the doj wants to know if boeing violated its 2021 deferred prosecution agreement. that's when the doj was investigating boeing for those max crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed more than 300 people. slt the settlement forced boeing to cooperate with federal government probes and fined the company $2.5 billion. boeing has declined to comment on this new investigation.
7:16 am
meanwhile the faa has told boeing that it must develop a comprehensive action plan specifically on quality control:the next 90 days. >> there was an incident overnight involving an american airlines plane. >> reporter: that's right. the american flight had taken off from jfk in new york and was heading to spain when the cockpit windshield cracked. the pilots turned the plane around and landed safely in boston. it happens so much more than you think. still, each time there's an indent now with a boeing plane, i adds to that perception problem for the company. even if it isn't their fault. so on that front, there's a long road ahead for boeing, michael. >> all right, gio. thank you. we're gonna turn to reaction over reports of surge pricing coming to wendy's, but the chain is saying, not so fast. victor oquendo here in the studio with more. >> great to see you all. some people are calling this a fast food fail. the headline sparked backlash and a fire storm on social media. people concerned that wendy's was going to start surge pricing depending on the time of day. but now wendy's said it was misunderstood and it will not
7:17 am
raise prices during peak hour, telling abc news, we didn't use the phrase surge pricing, nor do we plan to implement that tactic. that contradicts what the ceo said on aerpbings call earlier this month. quote, beginning as early as 2025 we will begin testing more enhanced features like dynamic pricing. dynamic pricing like uber use to describe surge pricing. wendy's said those comments were misconstrued. while they haven't said what they plan to do about pricing, wendy's said any new features would be designed to benefit our customers including the ability to offer, this is the fun part, guys, value discounts. so from surge pricing possibly some discounts. i'll bring you good news. >> wow. thank you, victor. good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> good to be here, guys. >> coming up the latest on the murder miystery in amish countr.

8:03 am
of presidential immunity, the supreme court is effectively delaying the most far reaching criminal case against donald trump raising the real possibility that this case could be delayed, the trial in this case, could be delayed until after the presidential election. the supreme court is now on track to weigh in on a claim donald trump has made both in the courtroom and on the campaign trail. >> the president has to have immunity. there is nothing more important to a presidency than immunity. >> reporter: donald trump's claim of absolute immunity is central to his defense against the allegation that he illegally tried to overturn the 2020 election in an effort that culminated in the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol. the trial in that case brought by special counsel jack smith was originally scheduled to start next week, but is now on hold as the supreme court considers trump's immunity claims. the high court is scheduled oral arguments in the case for late april, with a decision likely
8:04 am
not coming until several weeks after that, possibly in june. whether or not the supreme court agrees that a president, even a former president, is immune from criminal prosecution for virtually anything done while in office, the delay is already something of a trump victory, raising the real possibility that the trial could be pushed back until after the presidential election. earlier this month a federal appeals court ruled the immunity claim would collapse our system of separation of powers, adding, we cannot accept the office of the presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time there after. michael? >> that's a good point there, jon. thank you very much for that. now to prince william, making an appearance this morning amid new questions about the royal family. maggie rulli is tracking the latest for us from london. maggie, some people are concerned about kate.

8:33 am
>> so i am not an expert, as we all know, but i did learn a few things. basically you have to go back to first grade. do you remember your primary colors? there are yellow based and blue based. we have a color wheel chart over here. spring and autumn will be your more yellow based colors. they will be warmer. they will be richer. summer and winter are cool, blue based. so they're going to be icier, more vibrant, vivid. you use that to guide. one thing she made clear to me in the piece, there's no bad color. don't feel like if you're not a certain season, oh, i can't wear that. it's just what's your best color. >> all right. patient number one.
