"newsroom" starts right now. good morning and welcome to your weekend. it is saturday, august 13th. we're grateful to be a part of it. i'm boris sanchez. >> grateful to be with you as well, boris. i'm amara walker. you're in "the cnn newsroom." this morning, growing t controversy about the fbi raid

at former president donald trump's residence. some material was marked as top secret/sci which stands for sensitive compartmented information. that's one of the highest levels of classification. >> we're also learning about the possible crimes that led federal agents to search mar-a-lago. the search warrant listed violations of the espionage act, obstruction of justice, and criminal handling of government records as the reasons behind the raid. so far, though, we have to be clear, no charges have been filed in the investigation. trump has responded to the search by claiming that all the documents that were seized, he declassified while he was president. and he even attempted to point the finger at former president barack obama, baselessly suggesting that obama mishandled presidential records after leaving office. let's bring in cnn's evan perez, he's been following the story closely for us. evan, bring us up to speed on

the latest. >> reporter: the latest is, you see the shifting explanations, the shifting defenses of what happened here and why these documents, and you guys just described, which is things that are among the most closely-guarded secrets of the u.s. government, how they ended up in a basement room at the former president's estate in palm beach. the latest one we've heard is that not only were these things declassified previously but the former president's allies are now saying that whenever things were moved from the white house, the main part of the white house to the residence, they just by that act, they were declassified. of course that is not the way things usually work. so we'll have to see how that works, if this ever gets to court. but interestingly, boris and amara, the three statutes, the three crimes that the prosecutors listed on the search warrant application that, you

know, was the reason why the fbi went to mar-a-lago, the three statutes don't really turn on whether these documents were classified. the one, statute number 739, is a statute that has to do with mishandling of national defense information. it doesn't necessarily say it has to be classified. what that does is it means that the former president's explanations may not matter if, again, this ever gets to court. again, one of the important parts of this is the obstruction statute that is being investigated. same thing, it doesn't matter. so we'll see whether these excuses, these explanations, ever make their way into court and whether the former president has something else he can come up with. >> sometimes you have to reset your brain and remind yourself, my goodness, this is just stunning, of course unprecedented stuff that's happening. and on top that have, we're now talking about fbi agents who are under threat.

can you tell us more about that? >> reporter: that's right, so the document was unsealed by the court yesterday afternoon. but just before it was unsealed, versions of it were sent to various members of the media. some conservative outlets were able to post the entire documents, not the version that was unsealed by the court, which made sure that the names and information of the fbi agents who were there to authorize the search. what that means is that the names of these agents is now out there. it was put out in the conservative media sphere. the former president's social media platform pushed out that information. as a result, as you can expect, there are now threats being made against those agents. the fbi is of course having to increase security for all of its agents as a result of this. >> awful, not to mention the judge who authorized the search warrant also receiving threats as well. >> reporter: exactlily. >> and his bio had to be pulled

from the court's website. evan perez, thanks as always. here now is the former director of communication for u.s. national intelligence and cnn national security analyst sean turner. also criminal defense and constitutional law attorney paige payt. welcome, gentlemen, good morning to you. sean, i want to get your reaction to the fact that these classified documents were sitting in trump's palm beach resort. yes, it's members only, but it's in his office, in storage. what can go wrong, right? >> i mean, where do we start? first of all, it's really important for people to understand that we're not talking about just any documents. when i saw the information about the classification markings on these documents, i will tell you that i was shocked. these are top secret sci documents. as you said at the top, that's sensitive compartmented information. these are documents that are

still classified and have such a high level of markings because they involve oftentimes active intelligence collection programs. so when i saw that, the very first thing i thought is, it's really important that we understand the content, the nature of these documents inside the intelligence community, because when you have documents like this that are out there in the public, vulnerable to other eyes, what you have to be mindful of is whether or not those collection efforts are still going on, and whether or not there are actually people on the other end of those collection efforts. we could be putting people or intelligence officers or those in other countries around the world who help us, those people could be in danger as a result of these documents being out there. so that was the first thing i thought. then i have to tell you that for all of those people out there who are sort of making excuses, the fundamental question that we have to have answered here is why. what is the purpose of taking these documents from a secure, compartmented intelligence

facility? that's something we don't know and we've got to get to the bottom of it. this is really startling from an intelligence perspective. >> that's a very good question. and page, you don't have to answer why, because we don't know why these documents were at mar-a-lago, but when you look at these three potential violations that were in this unsealed warrant, does any of that stick out to you specifically? because last hour, i think it was renato mariotti pointed out it's one thing to unlawfully store or take classified documents and just leave it there, but you also have the obstruction of justice charges which indicate that some may, may, we don't know, have been destroyed. >> that's right, amara. these are three very different crimes. two of these crimes would require some sort of bad intent. the espionage crime would require the president, or anyone, really, to have these documents to have the intent to harm the united states or help

one of our enemies. the destruction charge would require the intent to destroy the document or somehow keep it from investigators. but the third charge, the concealment charge, simply having a government document that you're not supposed to have, there's no bad intent required in that statute. so if the fbi executed the search warrant, they found documents that should not have been at mar-a-lago, well, then, that's a crime and that crime can be prosecuted under that statute alone. so what's confusing to me is the defense that's being laid out by the president right now and his allies, the former president, that hey, all of these documents were dedeclassified. number one, as evan pointed out, classification doesn't appear in any of these statutes. it's not a requirement or an element the government would have to prove. and number two and perhaps most importantly, trump's best defense to these charges that i didn't know the documents were there. but now, by his public statements, he's already admitted he knew the documents were there and he knew they were

sensitive enough to require declassification. so i think he's putting himself into a box that's going to make it real difficult for his defense lawyers to pull him out of it later. >> and listen, shawn, i'm glad you brought up that, because that's the big question, right? you as someone who worked at u.s. national intelligence, you're very well aware of the types of sensitive information that are inside these kind of top secret sci documents. i mean, without speculating about this particular case, in general why would anyone who has access to this kind of classified material either seek to take it home, and what could they possibly want to do with it? >> yeah, you know, that's the key question, amara. look, i think the best case scenario for the former president, and again, this is not a winning case, but i think the best case scenario here is that these documents, the content of these documents, related to either something personal to the president, for

example if they relate to the mueller probe, the mueller investigation, or if these documents relate to classified information around one of the president's two impeachment trials. i think that's the best case scenario. but if it turns out that these documents, the content of these documents, contain information that is unrelated to anything that personally involves the president, if these documents are related to partners and allies, if these documents are related to our adversaries, sensitive programs, again, that gets back to where i started. there are only a few reasons for taking documents like that. and none of them are good. and i think we can all assume that these documents were not taken as souvenirs. i don't want to be overly dramatic here, or hyperbolic, but i think that understanding the intent here is going to be key as to whether or not the president and those around him are going to be charged. >> there are only a few reasons why someone would want to take

classified documents like that. i appreciate you joining us, shawn turner and paige pate, thank you very much. president biden says he will sign a major economic and climate bill next week after democrats passed the $750 billion package along party lines. here is how house speaker nancy pelosi celebrated. >> this is historic. every member in the house, every member in the nsenate, every democratic member in the house, every democratic member in the senate, voted for this legislation. this will reduce the deficit, lower inflation, and save the planet. and every single republican in the house and in the senate voted against it. >> let's bring in cnn white house reporter kevin liptak.

kevin, $370 billion-ish to combat climate change, provisions that lower the cost of prescription drugs, as well as the raising of corporate tax rates, this checks a lot of boxes that democrats have been pursuing for a long time. >> >> reporter: yeah, and it it's the centerpiece of president biden's legacy. when you look at the covid relief bill, infrastructure, guns, a number of other pieces of legislation that have recently passed, it amounts to quite a significant record, particularly when you think about what a narrow margin democrats hold in the senate and the house. president biden is on vacation in south carolina but he did watch this bill pass yesterday from his vacation home. he did facetime into the white house, a number of his staffers were in the roosevelt room in the west wing, celebrating. he told them this bill would

profoundly change the country. and he does plan to sign it next week. but when everyone comes back into washington in september, he will host this big celebration at the white house that will really be kind of the culmination of what has been sort of a pained, year-long process among democrats to get this bill over the finish line. there were various points along the way when it really seemed doomed. the president had to make some compromises, it's a little smaller, some of the social safety net programs aren't in the bill. but what did emerge is quite significant for democrats, it's what they've been trying to accomplish for a long time. now it will fall on president biden to go out on the road and sell this to the american people in the months before november's midterm elections. and what white house officials are telling us is this will be kind of the most intensive push that president biden has done to date, getting out into the country, talking to the american people. and what his message will be is essentially, this is for the

american people, for american families. special interests that have long dominated washington politics lost on this bill, and american families have won. that will be his message in the weeks and months ahead, boris. >> you're absolutely right, kevin, for months this bill has effectively been dead, and now it could stand at the centerpiece as the argument democrats are making that they should hold on to congress unfolds before the midterm elections. kevin liptak, thank you so much. still ahead, water samples in new york reveal the polio virus may be circulating in the nation's most populous city. why health officials fear it could be more widespread than previously thought. plus wyoming congresswoman liz cheney facing down a friend turned political foe. more on tuesday's high stakes political matchup that will determine whether campaign chen serve another term. and a warning from scientists that the arctic is

there is some concerning health news out of new york where officials say that wastewater samples have revealed the presence of polio virus. that suggests the virus is circulating in the city. late last month, nearby rockland county reported one case of infection. now, most americans are protected from polio thanks to vaccines. but some estimates show as many as 14% of new york city kids younger than 5 are not up to date on their shots. a doctor joins us now to discuss the very latest. she is the senior director of the special pathogens program for new york city health and hospitals. doctor, thank you for sharing part of your saturday morning with us. what does it tell us about the spread of polio virus in new

york that it's been detected in wastewater? >> first, this is a pretty serious situation. when we talk about polio, this is a crippling and disabling disease that affects the brain and spinal cord and can cause paralysis and other long term symptoms. now that we're seeing sewage samples turn positive, what this means is there is community transmission of polio occurring. and that is bad news, especially for those that are high risk. that close the unvaccinated or undervaccinated. this is a call for anybody who has not been vaccinated to get vaccinated. this is not a disease you want to contend with. it has, obviously, significant implications and you don't want to play russian roulette with your life or your children's life. >> doctor, you noted that folks that aren't up to date with their vaccines should go and get them. what other precautions would you recommend?

>> yes, when we talk about this spread of polio, first, when we talk about the paralytic piece, there's likely hundreds of thousands of cases circulating. the large majority are asymptomatic, you may not know you have it. you may have paralysis, meningitis, it could lead to death. you could have flu-like symptoms. things to look out for that you want to be mindful of is first, good hygiene. the way that polio spreads is if somebody has feces on their hand, contaminated feces, and they touch mucous membranes. so good hand hygiene is really, really important. certainly be aware of your surroundings and make sure they're vaccinated. that's the number one, number two, number three recommendation, is to get vaccinated. it's a vaccine-preventible disease, it's 99% effective. we have an amazing tool against

polio. >> this is obviously unfolding in new york city. how concerned are you that other parts of the country may start seeing the same sort of spread? >> yeah, it's actually very concerning. just because you detect it in one area does not mean that other states should not do anything. this actually is a call for the united states. no one who is unvaccinated or undervaccinated. we have five states that have generally low vaccination rates. oklahoma, alaska, alabama. a lot of these states have very low pediatric vaccination rates. as you're seeing events unfold in new york city, you should make sure you're being proactive. you want to get ahead of this. >> doctor, on monkeypox, health officials this week authorized this plan that would help stretch the nation's limited supply of monkeypox vaccine. it essentially lowers the amount

of dose in each injection and the injection is shallower than normal in the skin. the manufacturer of the vaccine has cited some concerns. what do you make of that decision? >> we're in a situation where certainly we don't have enough supply and the demand is high. we've had at least 1.6, 1.7 individuals in america that are at risk who don't have the current vaccine supply for it so it's really a risk/benefit analysis to see what we can benefit for a larger group. i think the strategy is pretty sound. we know that, you know, it can produce an equivalent immune response. given the situation we're in we want to contain this epidemic. i think it is the right call. we also want to make sure people feel comfortable with it so there needs to be a lot more community engagement on why this is important. >> doctor, we have to leave the conversation there. appreciate your expertise, thanks. >> thank you. in a major shift, the cdc is now easing covid-19 guidelines,

saying the nation should move away from restrictive measures such as social distancing, screenings, and quarantines for those who have been exposed to someone who is sick and instead focus more on reducing severe illness from the virus. >> let's bring in cnn's nadia romero now. nadia, why this shift? >> reporter: the cdc is basically saying, look, we have gone so much in a different direction than where we started at the beginning of this pandemic. we have improved in so many ways that we no longer need these strict guidelines that we've had since march and april of 2020. and if you look at that list, you can see that social distancing is on the list of things that the cdc wants to loosen those restrictions. and that's something that we've been doing since very early on, staying six feet away, trying to limit the spread. now the cdc is saying, you know what, we have other mitigation efforts, most notably the vaccine, we know it is highly effective and available to those who want it. when you look at the things the

cdc wants the nation to move away from, they've also addressed american classrooms, kids now heading back to school and so many in school, changing the guidelines for school, saying those students no longer need to test to stay in classrooms. and also classrooms don't need to be isolated. now, that was done to try to help with contact tracing and to also limit the spread, that maybe the virus would be found in one classroom and not spread to the entire school. but we heard the cries of educators and parents saying that those guidelines from the cdc really limited the social development of those kids. and also resources for educators. so they had to double up, they had to have separate everything because of the pandemic. now those teachers can share resources and they can share the effects of having classrooms that are not so isolated and closed off. i want you to hear from the white house coronavirus response coordinator, a question and answer session with vermont senator bernie sanders, talking about why this is such an a big

change for classrooms. >> we should look forward to a school year where every child is in person, full-time, for the whole year. we have the ability to do that. that should be the only acceptable standard. how do we do it? first, make sure that kids are vaccinated, certainly adults should be vaccinated, but as you know, every child over 6 months of age is eligible for a vaccine. these vaccines are incredibly good at preventing serious illness. >> so the cdc still emphasizing vaccines. but they're still saying you need to wear a mask, be tested if you have symptoms, wear a mask around other people, stay up to date on your vaccine and boosters, and ventilation is key. that is something our school districts have been working on over the last couple of years, amara, boris. >> nadia romero, thanks for breaking that down for us, good to see you.

democratic candidate for senate john fetterman returned to the campaign trail on friday in erie, to a packed hall, after suffering a stroke. it hasn't dulled his momentum at all. he thanked his supporters and his wife gisele. >> three months ago my life could have ended. it's the truth. but i'm so grateful to be here tonight as well. i was on my way to another event. and gisele recognized that i'm having a stroke. and let me just tell you right now in front of everyone, gisele saved my life. >> reporter: fetterman's report to the campaign trail marks a significant development in this race between fetterman and trump-endorsed republican dr. mehmet oz.

oz already inviting fetterman to participate in five debates. something fetterman often says is he'll visit every county for every vote. that is something he reiterated on friday. boris, amara? >> eva, thank you. let's turn now to wyoming where the latest polling shows representative liz cheney losing to her republican challenger. >> that primary is set for tuesday. and as cnn's jeff zeleny reports, the wyoming race is of major national interest. >> i know wyoming. i love wyoming. i am wyoming. >> reporter: she proudly wears wyoming on her sleeve and wields it like a hammer against liz cheney. >> i am going to reclaim wyoming's congressional seat from the virginian who currently holds it. >> reporter: these days signs of

trouble for cheney is wyoming. >> i am proud to introduce my friend liz cheney. >> reporter: she showered cheney with praise in 2016. >> a proven, courageous constitutional conservative, someone who has the education, the background, and experience to fight effectively for wyoming on a national stage. >> reporter: it's a telling book end of the republican party's evolution under donald trump who was elected the same day cheney first won and now he is at the center of her political fall, in a state where he won 70% of the vote, his widest margin anywhere. >> she's fighting against president trump. she betrayed us. >> there has never been an individual who was a greater threaded to our republic than donald trump. >> reporter: yet here in wyoming, hageman is seen as far more than trump's hand-picked candidate. she gained prominence as an attorney fighting the federal

government to protect natural resources. >> it's critical that we protect the energy industry not just for wyoming but for the united states. >> reporter: that focus on wyoming issues resonated with many voters we met. >> when you dive into the work she's done, it's been stellar and we appreciate what she did. >> reporter: was it more for her or against liz cheney? >> no, it was for her. >> reporter: cheney's fixation with trump and her leadership on the january 6th committee has also turned off many republicans. >> a lot of the choices that she's made lately are not the ones that wyoming is behind. >> reporter: and hageman has sought to capitalize. >> we fed up with the january 6th commission and those people who think they can gaslight us. >> reporter: when we caught up with hageman, she declined to answer our questions. how has liz cheney betrayed wyoming voters? if i can just ask you. before an aide stepped in. just last week she can embraced

the former president's laceless election rhetoric. >> absolutely the election was rigged to make sure that president trump could not get reelected. >> reporter: but hageman doesn't tell her audiences that she once opposed trump and supported ted cruz in 2016, a sign of her own transformation from cheney ally to trump loyalist with her sites now set on washington. >> i will be taking the fight to dc just as soon as i defeat liz cheney. >> reporter: heading into the final weekend of campaigning, most republicans believe hageman has a significant lead over liz cheney. even cheney's supporters believe her best chance, perhaps only chance, is for democrats to change parties on tuesday to vote for her. the only question, would that even be enough to make a difference here in this deep red state. jeff zeleny, cnn, casper,

a monster was attacking but the team remained calm. because with miro, they could problem solve together, and find the answer that was right under their nose. or... his nose. the dire warnings scientists have made about climate warming may be worse than we realized. for the last few decades the arctic has warmed four times faster than the rest of the world. the author of the study told cnn part of the reason for the new research is that the models scientists use to predict long

term change are not capturing the rapid warming. the problem with that is if the models don't accurately recreate what's going on now, scientists can't be confident in long term predictions. joining me now to talk about this is david holland, professor of mathematics and atmosphere and ocean science at new york university. he studies phenomena related to polar regions and the impact on our climate. what a beautiful backdrop, appreciate you joining us, david. let's start off with what's happening now, tell us what you are seeing. >> good morning, it's great to be with you, amara. i'm in greenland at the moment. we're doing our summer research expedition. this is a beautiful village in east greenland. we're cooling our heels at the moment because our equipment is down for repair. we're studying how the ice sheet behind me is melting as the

arctic warms. one of the things you referenced is sea ice. sea ice is ice that forms in the ocean. we're also studying ice that forms on the land, called gla glaciers. both are undergoing extreme and profound change, something a few decades ago thought was not possible. >> can you give us a sense of what has been the most large to you as you have been out there studying this rapid warming? >> for the land ice that we're currently studying here in greenland, what's been really stunning is the fact that the glaciers which we thought were kind of glacial and never change, have been undergoing rapid retreat. since we've been here, the glacier behind me has receded some 10 kilometers. effectively what's happening is warm waters from the gulfstream, part of them are now being

redirected to greenland and lighting it up. if you track it back through how that happened, ultimately it's a change in the wind. and the wind is changing because the air temperature is changing. part of it is natural and part of it is human influence. >> it's alarming to hear that. you're there, we're here. what is your message to the people at home who are listening and they want to i guess be a part of the solution? is there time left, especially with the rate of the warming, to make changes or slow down global warming? >> so i'll get to the answer about perhaps what we can do. right now it's a question of what's happening. and the keyword i would focus on in there is something in the atmosphere way above my head, you may have heard of the jetstream. that's a river of current that spins around the planet. and it exists because the tropics are warm and here in the

arctic it's cold. that results in the phenomenon of the jetstream. as the arctic is warming, the jetstream is disappearing. that has a profound impact. in the winter, in the united states, it causes the polar vortex. we see floods in korea and kentucky, heat across the u.s., when i left it was 100 degrees everywhere. fires in california. so we're seeing some shifts in weather patterns that are very likely the result of modifications in our atmosphere, in particular the jetstream. so that's what's happening. and your second part is about what we can do about it? >> yes, correct. >> so a little bit of hope showed up this week, i thought, recently, with the -- i'll call it the climate bill. and that offered a lot about cleaning our air and reducing our emissions in the united

states by some 40% over this decade or since 2005. and i think finally that shows some u.s. leadership on the world stage, and that's excellent. and what that has in it, of course it will stimulate the economy in some sense with electric vehicles and all that, but if we dig a little deeper, that was fabulous, but it's not going to solve the problem. >> right, right. >> the problem is very, very deep. part of it is that the co2 in the atmosphere will stay here for like a thousand years. >> i wish we had more time, this is so fascinating, david, it is also so impactful that you're there in greenland witnessing all this and letting us know what you're seeing, what you're studying. thank you for all that you do, appreciate your time, david holland, thank you. we'll be right back. whwhat do you want to leave behind? what d do you want to give back? what do you want to be remembered for? that's your why. it's your purpose, and we will work with you

actress anne heche has been declared brain dead, one week after she was critically injured and badly burned in a car crash. >> on friday afternoon, representatives for heche confirmed she was brain dead which under california law is the definition of death. the 53-year-old star of films including "donnie brassco" and "six days and seven nights" never regained consciousness after her car crashed into a house on august 5th. her family says she is being kept on life-support for organ donation. there was very emotional testimony this week in vanessa

bryant's lawsuit against l.a. county. at one point the wife of nba legend kobe bryant rushed out of court in tears as witnesses described an event where they were shown photos of her husband's corpse. >> she's suing l.a. county for damages, claiming the photos taken at the scene of the fatal helicopter crash that killed her husband, daughter, and seven others were inappropriately shared including at an awards ceremony for the county employees and a bar. cnn's natasha chen with the latest from the trial. >> reporter: boris and amara, on friday the jury heard from one of the whistle-blowers and one of the deputies accused of taking and sharing unauthorized close-ups of the crash victims on january 6th, 2020. we previously heard from an

officer who was present at the bar where the photos was shared. a firefighter was showing photos of human remains from the crash at an awards gala. she was particularly emotional in recounting how the group of people were huddled around a phone looking at the alleged gruesome photos. she said one of the firefighters eventually walked away from the huddle jokingly saying, i can't believe i just looked at kobe's burnt-up body and now i'm about to eat. vanessa bryant was visibly emotional. i saw her with her head in her hands, trying to hide her face as she cried. she was not in the room at all for the afternoon testimony of doug johnson who was one of the first sheriff's deputies to reach the crash scene. he said he took photos to share with command staff so they could form a strategic response. he said about a third of his photos were of human remains and he remembers taking pictures of

body parts, people missing a head, missing arms or legs, organs lying in the open. he said he had texted these to the deputy who requested them and also air dropped them to a firefighter that to this day has still not been identified. so the county's argument that the photos are contained is disputed by vanessa bryant's team who argues there could be more photos out there that we don't know of. still deputy johnson said that he was unaware of any policy that would have prevented him from taking these photos and sharing them with other first responders. he said, quote, i know i didn't do anything wrong. he said he doesn't regret his actions that day. boris and amara, back to you. >> natasha, thank you. it must be unimaginable to go through what vanessa bryant has gone through. boris, it's been good to be with you, can do i it again tomorrow? >> more than welcome, 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. the next hour of "cnn newsroom" starts in just a few minutes. fredericka whitfield is up next.
