many residents were furious, posting flyers, has anyone seen or heard from the mayor? eventually he held a press conference and promised the people of atlanta that he would keep them updated every two hours. but as you mentioned, as of right now, he just gave an update not too long ago, and said the boil water advisory remains in effect. he told our nbc anchors this morning they hope to lift that advisory in the next few hours, but people specifically on this westbound blown that they're still trying to repair, the people on this specific block don't have any water as they're working continuously to try to repair this specific water main break. >> thank you, priya.
9:01 am
i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. andrea mitchell picks up our coverage right now. right now on "andrea mitchell reports" family matters, the first lady shows up in court as the jury selection begins for hunter biden's trial, a trial that the prosecution says will include testimony from his late wife and laid brother's widow. the white house is pushing back on bibi netanyahu's -- saying that he did make the proposal. former president trump railing against his conviction and raising a ton of money and supporters since his verdict. next up, his meeting with propace officer and sentencing next month, just days before the
9:02 am
republican convention. >> i'm okay with it. i think at a certain point there's a breaking point. ♪♪ good day, everyone. jury selection has begun in wilmington, delaware, for the first criminal trial of a sitting president's son. first lady jill bide is not in the courtroom along with hunter's wife, his sister ashley and her husband, the president's son is charged with three counts of allegedly making false statements that he was not using illegal drugs when he filled out a federal form. hunter pleaded not guilty and has been very public about his past troubles with drugs, including in his book, part of which will be used as evidence against him. a plea deal which would have
9:03 am
avoided any possible jail time famously fell apart, when a presiding judge rejected the treatment. it could expose embarrassing details of the family's private life. prosecutors say they plan to call as potential witnesses hunter biden's ex-wife and his brother's widow with who he had a relationship after beau's death, as well as a third woman with whom he fathered a child. president biden issued a statement, say i am the president, but i am always a dad. jill and i love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. mike memoli joins us from the courthouse. mike, you have covered the bidens for years. you know them so well. they have just gone through the ninth anniversary, i believe of beau's death.
9:04 am
how do they plan to handle this very personal case in the middle of a presidential campaign? >> reporter: well, they're doing this by closing ranks around hunter biden. we as reporters are looking at the former president donald trump's conviction last week, the start of this trial to look at whether either of these legal proceedings might move that very unhikable electorate so far in an election. those close to the president are look -- may affect the president, of course, the candidate in this race. the reason for that is they know how concerned president biden is for his son at this point. you can draw a direct line from the death of beau biden nine years ago to the struggle that hunter has gone through since then, the deepest of addiction came during the time period that had by magnified during this trial. the first lady of the united states, on her birthday no less,
9:05 am
coming here to be here. there was a joke between mother and son about the fact that -- we also see, of course, his sister, and then that statement from the president, which was so striking, not just because he is taking great pains to be seen as above the fray here, as the president not commenting about any of these legal proceedings, but he said, i am, of course, a father, reiterating how proud he is for his son, but also i thought notable he said that so many families have gone through a moment like this, and had family members experiencing addiction. as we look at the personal and the political is just what a small world delaware is. when you walk into the courthouse behind me, you see a photo framed of president biden. of course, he is the head of the judiciary, the campaign headquarters are a few blocks away, the president's home a few
9:06 am
miles away. certainly they are as ware of the biden who -- >> of course, as you point out, such a family drama. mike memoli, thank you so much. we want to bring in former attorney barbara mcconveyed, and former federal prosecutor mark califano. barbara, "the washington post" is detailing how beau biden's wife found the gun, tossed it into a trash bin. she was worried about his drug abuse, they were having a relationship at the time, just the agony this family has gone through, and the recovery from narcotics use. how serious are these gun charges? >> well, it's a federal offense punishable by up to ten years in prison. there are actually three
9:07 am
separate counts in this case for a total of 25 years in prison with a conviction. frankly the evidence seems strong. i know in my former office, we typically brought these kinds of cases only if we believed the defendant was in in sway a danger to public. nonetheless,i clear if you're addicted to drugs, you can't have a gun. according to the indictment, hunter biden said he was not addicted to drugs, which i think the prosecution will aim to show was false. it seems that the etched is strong. now, whether ultimately he will receive any prison time for this i think is a much closer question. >> mark, one of the things that's very clear is this family is rallying around him. it wasn't necessary to be at the state dinner last week, but they're showing a real show of
9:08 am
force. he was biking with the president in rehoboth. and here he is a short time ago. >> i'm really proud of how hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction. you know, i love my son. it's hurt my grandchildren, and that's what i'm so concerned about, that it's affecting their lives as well. of course, the political question is how does it affect the political aspect for the president? the legal question, first of all, the prosecution won a key argument -- the defense lost an argument just in the last 24 hours or today, where they cannot bring in an expert witness to point out that he did not think he was still addicted, because he was out of treatment,
9:09 am
inpatient treatment, thought even though he was apparently taking some kind of drugs to get off his addiction, he thought he was a recovering addict. also, how selective in this prosecution? >> it is, as barbara just described, not necessarily a standard type of case that you would bring in this situation. usually there would be some other contest to this. either the person would be a danger to the community, they might be involved in other criminal activity, such that this is an important count to bring to get this person under the jurisdiction of the court. in this case, it's difficult, because it's hard to see that this isn't involved in the fact that this is the president's son, but the fact is these are very straightforward charges, and this is a basic case that doesn't take a lot of evidence to prove. >> barbara, let's talk about also the tax case.
9:10 am
first of all, this gun case was supposed to be resolved. remember, a year ago we were all waiting for the plea deal to be accepted, and then the judge rejected it, saying that all sides didn't have a full understanding of what was involved. i don't know about the lawyering involved, but boy, that really blew up in their face. now he's got a tax case in california now scheduled for september right before the election. >> yeah, it really did. i think the judge who was asked the right questions, which is specifically whether there would be any fir investigation into other crimes, like fara, and she revealed to the parties they had not reached an agreement on that. the prosecution thought it was still fair game, the defense
9:11 am
thought it was a wrapup of everything globally, and then they both backed away from the deal. that leaves us back to square zero, and i americanly find the tax case to be a bit more serious. they're not always brought. it depends on the tax loss, but it also brought more frequently if there's also an effort to conceal other illegal behavior. that appears to be the allegations in the hunter biden tax case. >> mark, there any evidence at all of political interference by the justice department or by the president in what the justice department is doing here, as republicans are claiming? >> you know, despite those claims, they have not been able to point to or proud any interference whatsoever in the independent counsel's investigation. the type of case we're showing here is a difficult thing to be used as an example. against, the evidence is fairly
9:12 am
straightforward, it's about his addictive condition at the time he went to buy that gun. >> mark califano, thank you. barbara mccwade, thank you for starting us off. the november election is coming into focus with a debate on june 27th. then the rnc coming up after sentencing. the biden campaign national co-chair mitch landrieu joins us in just 90 seconds. stay with us. just 90 seconds stay with us (restaurant noise) [announcer] introducing allison's plaque psoriasis. she thinks her flaky gray patches are all people see. otezla is the #1 prescribed pill to treat plaque psoriasis. allison! over here! otezla can help you get clearer skin

9:14 am
the reason you have this weaponization is president biden can't defend his weak record, and they remember that donald trump brought peace and prosperity to this country. >> including susan collins, and notably house speaker mike johnson, who immediately called the supreme court not likely a state case. the noted exception is larry
9:15 am
hogan, that state's popular former governor, who said the jury's verdict should be respected. lara trump immediately blasted hogan for that statement on sunday. joining me now is mitch landrieu, national cochair of the biden campaign. first of all, what is the campaign's reaction to the historic guilty verdict for donald trump. i know the president said jury verdicts have to be seniorsed, the system needs to be respected, but how do you handle this? >> i think it's important to remind ourselves and everybody else that democracy is at stake, and donald trump is a threat to democracy. in order for democracy to work, an independent judiciary has to be able to do what it is that they were designed to do by the constitution. the former president had a fair trial. the former president was able to
9:16 am
call witnesses. the former president was able to have a jury of his peers, and a unanimous jury on 34 counts find him guilty. so we have a new fact before us, that donald trump is a convicted felon. when you think about it, it actually goes to the character, wid dom and justice of the person who is going to sit as president of the united states. you actually see the character of president biden carrying out today with hunter's trial. he has a son, as you know, suffered from addiction in his life. this president showed the character of faith, family and country. he loves his son unconditionally. that's exactly what a fear should do. the president said, i'm the president, but also a father. that's handling a very difficult issue with great dignity. hunter is not running for president of the united states, joe biden is. and donald trump is. when you measure that character, wisdom and judgment, you understand very clearly that donald trump is a danger to our democracy. he's running a campaign of
9:17 am
revenge and retribution. joe biden puts the american people first. that's the clear choice in november, notwithstanding what any jury does between now and then. >> recent snap polls in the last couple days show that a majority of voters agree with the verdict, but this was not appreciably different of how they would react before the verdict they snap polls are not likely conclusive. so, how is the campaign going to counter act the republican base? clear lid with the money they raised, an astonishing amount of money. they climbed $37 million in the last couple days. >> you have to be careful what they claim, but be that as it may, everybody will fund raise off of this. whether donald trump is a convicted felon or not, we have an election.
9:18 am
the only way to keep donald trump out of the oval office is for americans to go vote. that's what campaigns are about. that's why joe biden always talks about the fact when donald trump lost over 2 million jobs, and said you guys should drink a bit of bleach. he participated in an insurrection in the company and is responsible for the confederate flag in the halls of congress for the first time since the, they'll remember the members of at the cabinet who left, jobe jobe, on the other hand, will talk about the 15.5 million jobs he created, lowest unemployment rate. the fact we are going after inflation. an earlier report said that donald trump's plan will skyrocket costs for the american people. that spike is the fight that's going to happen on election day,
9:19 am
and the american people will be the final majority. mitch landrieu, though, americans are not reacting that way. they're not given the president credit for the lower unemployment rate, not giving credit for inflation coming down. they're seeing gas prices, food prices, the things they have to deal with, home rentals are higher than they want them to be, higher than they have been. >> that's correct. >> gas prices are likely not to come down with the opec 2 decision today as well. these things are not getting across to people, and, you know, you've twice now in this interview -- twice that i have counted -- called donald trump a convicted felon. we were guided by some other people inside the white house they were not going to refer to him as a convicted felon. they were going to talk about the importance and integrity of the judicial system. will the campaign be more
9:20 am
aggressive on the economic front, and being very blunt about what's happened in the courtroom? >> i don't know what's inappropriate or wrong about stating a fact. donald trump is a convicted felon. if the other cases -- if this in fact was the weakest case and the other three go to trial at any time, he's likely to be a convicted felon four times over. that goes to the issue of character, wisdom and judgment and whether you want that person to have his hands on the nuclear code. we're going to show the differences. secondly, on the issue of inflation. inflation is too high, prices are too high, which is why the president of the united states has been looking to lower costs. it's the reason he went after pharma. donald trump in fact wants to reverse the inflation reduction
9:21 am
act. if donald trump comes into office and he reverses the inflation reduction act, everybody's pharmaceutical costless go back up. you had a number of people who said donald trump's tax cuts, again for the wealthiest 1%, their costs will go up. andrea, which is what campaigns are about. we have to tell our story to the american people. i think the american people will pay attention and focus, maybe more than in the past six months. when they have to decide between a president, joe biden, who gives every day fighting for them, and donald trump, who fights for himself and wanting to hurt other people with the power his has, i think they'll choose joe biden. how much is the hunter biden trial weighing on him? >> well, listen, hunter biden suffered from an addiction, like millions of americans. any family that's gone through this know it's unbelievably
9:22 am
heartbreaking. so i know that the president, like any great father would be, this goes to the issue of him. he has unconditional love for his kids. he is a man of faith, family and country. no doubt it weighs on him, but joe biden is strong. he's rooted in faith, and he's been through tougher things in life. i know his heart breaks for his son, but he's very, very proud, as he should be, as families should be about folks who have gone through addiction, gotten clean, gotten a life on track. hunter biden has, and i know his dad is very proud of him today. >> reply mayor, mitch landrieu, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. and reality check, what is and is not true about the israel-hamas proposal, and what it all means for the region for peace. this is "andrea mitchell reports" only on misnorthbound. l

9:27 am
. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has told his parliament today that president biden's statement that israel has agreed to a new cease-fire offer is, quote, not true. on friday, president biden announced a three-part plan for six-week cease-fire and release of the most vulnerable hostages, extended into a permanent hold
9:28 am
of hostilities and release of all hostages and their remains, as well of a withdrawal of israel. israel's war cabinet unanimously accepted the proposal, hamas reacted positively, and he said he will not remove from gaza until hamas is destroyed. the white house says it is an israeli proposal and up to israel to discuss their internal domestic politics. meanwhile, in jerusalem, families calling for israel and hamas to immediately accept the deal. in new york city, at the annual israel day parade, marchers demanding release of all hostages. raf sanchez joins me. john kirby just briefed all of
9:29 am
us, saying that was an israeli proposal, he said it was specific -- in answer to one of my questions, specific about phase one and how many plenty uses prisoners would be released and their names. those details are in there, they're not releasing them publicly, but the rest of it was just phase one that could then be extended into face two, with phase two being release of all hostages, including the israel idf and remains. but the prime minister is certainly saying he doesn't own this. >> reporter: that's right, andrea. nearly 72 hours after president biden stood up and laid out what he said was an israeli proposal, you are seeing increasing pushback from the israeli government. it started over the weekend from israeli officials speaking on backgrounds, and now i have prime minister netanyahu saying
9:30 am
he has not agreed to a permanent cease-fire until hamas is destroyed. now, you mentioned the different phases of this potential three-stage deal. the israelis are indicating they're open to phase one, a six-week cease-fire including the release of dozens of hostages, living and dead, but they're not saying they are prepared to move fade with what president biden described as phase two. it is not clear, andrea, that hamas is going to agree to move forward with any stage of this deal unless they have some commitment, even if it's in broad terms from the israelis that this war will come to an end which president biden said it should, in his address on friday night. as you said, the context here is important. prime minister netanyahu is under intense pressure from the far right of his inclusion, he's
9:31 am
been until pressure from the families of the israeli hostages. we spoke earlier to the parents of the 23-year-old israeli-american being held in gaza right now. we asked about the argument from the far right that the war should continue and take a listen. >> at this point, my feeling is it's enough. what we have accomplished militarily in 241 days, i don't know that another week or two or five is incrementally going to really matter, right? i don't think that those politicians have the right to continue to say, we're going to just ignore 125 of our people. let them sit there no longer while we continue on this path. >> reporter: now, andrea, he mentioned 125 hostages still in gaza. that number has actually been
9:32 am
lowered to 124. the israeli government says one man they believed was being held inside gaza, they have now discovered his body in israel. he's no part of that official hostage count. >> which is such a sad outcome indeed. raf, thank you very much. joining us, we have ambassador dennis, now fellow and councillor -- ambassador ross, what is your take on whether -- excuse me -- while i regain my voice -- whether netanyahu was agreeing to something -- was this an israeli proposal negotiated probably between bill burns and the mossad leader? >> no, this was an israeli proposal that was absolutely adopted by the war cabinet.
9:33 am
this was not something that president biden was somehow making up. this is a 4 1/2-page document that the war cabinet, which includes the prime minister, they approved it and they asked the united states to present it to egypt and qatar to then present to hamas. there is, within this three-phased approach, there is a connection between the first phase and the second phase, where the two sides will commit to good-faith negotiations hamas
9:34 am
had a favorable view, provided it will produce the end of the war, complete israeli withdrawal. hamas has its maximal projections, and what you're hearing from the right within his own government, is he's saying i haven't walked you're, the trust is he hasn't walked away from the objectives, but he's approved a proposal that creates a possibility of producing an end to the war, but it will go in stages. it's not automatic, and there are difficult issues that will have to be resolved. what this proposal does is create the basis for a resumption of incredible negotiations, that in a sense they'll be talking to the egyptians and countries that will then convey that to hamas. that resumption of indirect
9:35 am
negotiations will then try to iron out what are the hard details. that has less to do with what goes in phase one and more to do with how you connect face 1 and 2. no one is saying this is automatic, but clearly a road map has been presented by this proposal. the israelis showed flexibility, and it will reflect the pressure of hostages being held so long and increasing fear, if you don't get a hostage deal soon, those hostages who remain alive will not end up coming back to israel being alive. many have adopted the position that we failed our citizens in the southern part of israel on october 7th. we cannot fail them again by not recovering hostages alive.
9:36 am
there's a deep sense that there's a fundamental israeli obligation to recover the hostages alive. that's what drove this proposal. the prime minister of israel adopted this proposal and approved it being presented to the united states to be presented to the egyptian and countries to trigger what would be indirect negotiations to see if they can reach an agreement based on it. >> you are deeply sourced, so given those facts, what is the most compelling pressure or tension point with benjamin netanyahu? is it staying in office, satisfying his far-right allies holding this coalition together?
9:37 am
or is it responding to the hostage families, to his own military, to his defense minister, the war cabinet, the opposition military led by benny gantz and others. he's very unpopular right now, but will he hang on to the far-right coalition members, other than trying to come up with another -- i don't know what the answer is if this government falls -- i believe i saw that one of the opposition leaders, the former minister said that they would not have a vote of no confidence, that they would play ball with him if he went along with this. >> the former prime minister said they would provide a safety net. if he was preparing to take on the minister who said they would burn the government down if the
9:38 am
prime minister goes ahead with this proposal. i think what you see is prime minister netanyahu is trying to walk a fine line between the pressure from the right and the pressure not just from the families but most of the country as well. there is a desire on the part of everybody not to have an outcome where you don't -- hamas is able to somehow reconstitute itself. those on the right say the most important thing is we have to, in effect, eradicate hamas to have a total victory. they can't define what that is. that's more a slogan than a practical objective. a practical objective is demilitarizing gaza, demilitarizing hamas, basically dismantling most of is military infrastructure. those are practical objectives. creating a circumstance where it becomes very difficult for hamas
9:39 am
to reconstitute itself, because they create an alternative to it. that's the way you achieve the objective of the prime minister who said was the most important goal. hamas can't resume political control of gaza. achieving those two objectives are a key -- what you hear people on the right say, they are talking about eradicating, destroying hamas. we defeated isis, but we couldn't destroy it as an idea. hamas is being defeated right now, and more will have to be done to ensure it cannot reconstitute itself. one of the things the administration will need to do in following through with this, if there's demilitarization, how do you guarantee that? how do you guarantee reconstruction doesn't have materials coming into gaza that
9:40 am
can be diverted so hamas gains control of that? first things first, here's a proposal that the israelis themselves made. i think the reason the president gave his speech was twofold. one was to ensure prime minister netanyahu we knew would come until pressure on the far right, would stick to this, and two, was to shift the focus onto hamas. hamas has to accept what is a proposal so hamas doesn't continue that plenty cans continue to suffer by saying no. there was a twofold purpose, i think, with his speech. he was addressing both sides. >> ambassador, your help is invaluable. thank you very much. >> you're welcome. the baselines in another war in ukraine, up next, ukrainian forces struggling to hold key

volodymyr zelenskyy is in southeast asia attending a defense military conference there, a rare attempt to get global support. just last week president biden for the first time gave ukraine permission to use american-made weapons against putin's forces. join mig now uine mindlin former deputy adviser for the national security council until he and his twin brother were forced
9:45 am
out. he's not -- now seeking a seat in congress. let me ask about ukraine. was this too late for president biden to let ukraine fire back across the border? the white house fears that if they fire into russia proper that that would escalate the war, and engage the u.s. or nato potentially, but the u.s. and nato were involved in arming ukraine and fighting this war, so was it realistic? was it fair to zelenskyy to say russian forces could be right across the border taking people out in kharkiv without being able to retaliate. >> thanks for having me. the bottom line is a long war scenario. i've got to kharkiv. people don't realize sometimes
9:46 am
how close its. >> hoe close is it to the border? >> 20 miles. >> wow. >> so that's within a few artillery pieces on the border, they can actually shoot. nobody does that, but they could shoot right into the city of dar confident. the ukrainians need to hit those staging areas. if the russians realize they have safe harbor, they'll put everything right on the border. it's important they receive this authorization, so they can strike targets, staging area, and logistics bases that the russians are maintaining right across the border. >> are they getting the weapons that were approve finally. >> they're start you to flow into country. i think about a week ago they said they finally have sufficient ammunition, which is hard to believe. they have sufficient ammunition to defend across this massive
9:47 am
600-mile front line, and it's having an impact. the russians is made some limited tactical gains boo kharkiv, some smaller towns, but have not made headway. this is always where they're frankly building capacity, building forces, getting weapons from what need from the west, in order to go on an offensive next week. ukraine is not the top issues that voters seem to be caring about. why are you running in the 7th district. how do you explain yourself to voters? >> so, the reason i'm running is i think democracy is on the line here. in 2024 we're at a crossroads in this country. we can go down a dark path, which is what the former
9:48 am

9:53 am
what happens if the former president continues to violate the gag order, between now and then? >> well, the prosecutors can bring it to the judge's attention. the judge on his own can do it. i give one little caveat. the judge in his prior decision finding donald trump violated the gag order said the gag order should not be used as a sword. he was specifically referring, though he didn't name him, to a witness, michael cohen. so if donald trump is responding to something that that particular witness, mr. cohen said, the judge and even the prosecutors may not be as anxious to go in and say he violated it. but anything else, if he says something about the jurors or anything, that clearly is a violation of the gag order. >> how concerned are you about the people online, on truth social are saying really violent, threatening things and trying to go after these jurors?
9:54 am
>> very concerned. in this country we respect jury verdicts. these people, jurors throughout this country, it's something they do as part of their civic duty. they leave their jobs, they leave their family during the day, and it's really shameful that people two have done this, they didn't get paid a lot of money to do it, that they have to fear for their safety. that's really shameful. >> also, finally the speaker of the house immediately called for the supreme court to step in. now donald trump has repeated that. does the supreme court have any immediate jurisdiction over this? >> no. it doesn't work that way. he has to, donald trump, exhaust all of his state appeals, so that's the appellate division, then the new york state court of appeals, i don't see where this could immediately go to the supreme court. >> catherine christian, good to see you. miss you. we were next to each other for
