>> i'm so happy to have sara sidner by my side today. kaitlan is off. five things to know for this tuesday, may 23rd. happening overnight, a u haul crashing into a security barrier near the white house. the driver arrested, facing charges of threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict harm on a president, vice president or family member. secret service says that crash may have been intentional. just nine days to go and still no deal in sight. president biden and speaker mccarthy saying they had a productive meeting, but still don't have a deal on the debt ceiling as janet yellen issues a sobering economic look. also new this morning, a stark warning for all parents, for all of us really, the u.s. surgeon general is now labeling social media a profound risk of harm for children. and the denver nuggets make franchise history, sweeping the los angeles lakers and advancing to the nba finals for the first time ever. lebron james is now reportedly considering retirement.

and out of this world video. ♪ nasa's rover brings us footage of craters and even a possible river on mars. what this tells us about our planetary neighbor. "cnn this morning" starts right now. ♪ but here is where we begin. this developing overnight, maybe even after you went to sleep a u haul truck ramming into the barriers at the white house. video shows police inspecting a nazi flag with a swastika, roll of duct tape, a notebook and a black backpack that the suspect apparently had with him. eyewitnesses say the driver crashed into the barriers, then tried to smash through them again. the secret service evacuated nearby hotel as bomb technicians searched the truck to make sure

there were no explosives. we're told nobody inside was hurt. let's begin with our senior justice correspondent evan perez at the scene. terrifying. what do you know this morning, evan? >> reporter: yeah, good morning, poppy. this is the scene where this all went down. we're at lafayette park, just a few hundred meters from the white house. according to the police the driver of this truck came on to the sidewalk here. you can see the tire marks here on the sidewalk. rammed into the barriers that are protecting the park from access to the park and to the white house. rammed it a couple of times before they were arrested and charged. now they're facing multiple charges right now. this person has not been identified. but they're facing charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, threatening to kill or kidnap a president. destruction of federal property. trespassing, a number of charges. we're expecting to learn more

about the suspect later today. one of the things that happened immediately afterwards, of course, is the concern that there could be explosives inside that u haul truck. according to the fbi, which did a search of it, no explosives were found. but for a time, the secret service evacuated the hay adams hotel which is across the street. now right over there you see black lives matter plaza. this is, of course, the scene of a lot of protests in the wake of the killing of george floyd. and, you know, looking at what you see in one of the videos there, according to the police who are doing a search of the u-haul, what you see there is someone holding what appears to be a flag with a swastika on it. there's a backpack. those are things that apparently were found inside that u-haul. so the concern now is to figure out what brought that person here to washington and, of course, to the scene here. poppy? >> it's so striking, evan, to

see that laid out on the ground, swastika and those threats, the president. thank you very much for the reporting. now to former president donald trump who is facing growing legal drama on several fronts this morning. he's set to appear in a manhattan court by video in just a few hours in the stormy daniel hush money case after he pleaded not guilty to 34 charges in that case. also, e. jean carroll asked the judge for more money and damages from the ex-president in addition to what she already won, which was a $5 million judgment against him in her civil assault and defamation case. this is in a separate defamation case stemming from the sexual abuse a jury found she suffered in a derg dor f goodman dressing room in the '90s. carroll wants additional punitive damages after trump's comments at a cnn town hall where he again denied knowing or doing anything to her. and there's big new movement in the mar-a-lago classified

documents case. sources tell cnn they subpoenaed the trump organization for more informations about business deals with foreign companies, specifically in countries that may have been interested in the types of classified material recovered from the former president. that's not all. the special counsel obtained dozens of pages of notes from trump attorney evan corcoran that could damage the president's defense. kaitlan polantz is out reporting. she joins us in washington. this is really interesting reporting that you guys broke yesterday about these really detailed notes and what they might mean to the special counsel's probe and to the former president's defense. >> reporter: right. so sara and poppy, these notes were something that the justice department, we knew they had been fighting for, an extraordinary court fight to get access to them. and now this is a first glimpse that we are getting, a whole team of us were speaking to sources about what those notes say, what they represent and what they are and what they represent are extremely detailed

notes from donald trump's lawyer, evan corcoran, from may 11th, the moment they got a subpoena saying donald trump must turn over all classified records or records with classified markings on them in his possession back to the federal government to this grand jury criminal investigation and then the notes span the entire way up to june 3rd so the period of time where evan corcoran, this attorney went and searched mar-a-lago specifically through boxes in a storage room what he found telling them i don't believe there is anything else at the property. now there's a lot of questions there. we don't have the full extent of what these notes say. so we don't exactly know whether this could factor into the obstruction investigation, but we do know that these notes reveal that donald trump was asking whether he could push back against the subpoena, not comply with it potentially. that might be something that he was just raising with a lawyer like he normally might, like any

client might. but it could be factoring into this larger situation. and the fact that these notes are so detailed, one person said they were overly detailed. another person was surprised at how detailed they were. that's pretty significant because the justice department appears to be getting the amount of evidence they are seeking there. >> there is a lot of talk from the attorneys that you all reported about foreign dealings the trump administration and foreign dealings. how significant are those developments? >> reporter: right. we don't know exactly yet how this fits into the investigation, but we do know the special counsel's office in a story that was first broke by "the new york times" last night and we were able to also confirm, special counsel's office subpoenaed details about foreign deals that the trump organization may have made with about seven different countries dating the whole way back to 2017. so the time trump was president up until now. and when you look at that step back, it suggests that the special counsel's office may be

looking at deals with countries that may have been interested in the sort of classified information donald trump was keeping after the presidency, but we don't know yet how that fits into the bigger investigation. >> also the fact that e. jean carroll is asking the judge who oversaw her case where the former president was found liable is asking essentially the judge to reopen that case so she can request more in terms of claims of defamation after these comments to our kaitlan collins at the cnn town hall. listen to this. >> they said he didn't rape her. >> they did not say -- >> i didn't do anything else. i have no idea who the hell she is. they said, sir, don't do it. this is a fake story and you don't want to give it credibility. that's why i didn't go. >> one thing you did do in this -- >> and i swear -- i've never done that. and i swear -- i have no idea who the hell -- she's a whack job. >> mr. president -- >> so her claim there is what the former president said is

defamation again. >> reporter: right. well, she's not suing him for those words specifically, but she wants to add them into an existing lawsuit. >> right. >> so e. jean carroll, she had sued him for what he said after the presidency and won the defamation claims, that $5 million in damages related to sexual battery and defamation. she won that. there's another on going lawsuit about what donald trump was saying similar things that he would have said when he was president. it's tied up in court because there's a lot of questions of what to do when he was president f he can be held liable for that, but if she is able to win that case and get him held liable, she wants the judge and the jury to factor in all of the things he would have said at that cnn town hall just earlier this month when they're calculating the punishment that he may need to face. >> that's really interesting. thank you very much for the reporting on all those fronts. all right, also this morning, president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy

striking a more optimist you can tone about yesterday's debt ceiling talks. speaking after their meeting, mccarthy said he felt it was the best discussion they've had yet. >> i did feel the discussion was productive in areas that we have differences of opinion. we're going to have the staffs continue to get back together and work on some of the things that we had talked about. >> mccarthy said that an agreement needs to be reached this week to give congress enough time to write, read and vote by the june 1st deadline. we are cutting it so close, but it's still unclear how quickly the two sides will be able to reach a deal. cnn's arlette saenz is live at the white house with more. they better start talking and better start doing, right? >> reporter: yeah, sara. president biden last night really struck the same tone as you heard from house speaker kevin mccarthy as he described these meetings as productive. some glimmer of hope these talks

could be heading in the right direction. they still emerged without a deal in hand. now negotiators met late last night up on capitol hill, breaking up a little before midnight. and they're expected to continue talking throughout the course of the day. much of the disagreements that they have acknowledged still remain around that issue of spending levels as the president has proposed freezing them at current year levels and republicans insist they must be cut back to fiscal year 2022 levels. now one thing in this meeting that the president really stressed, and we heard from the white house over the past few days, is that they need to be able to sell any type of agreement to both sides, democrats and republicans. and that is one of the key challenges in these negotiations is reaching some type of bipartisan compromise. now this all comes as treasury secretary janet yellen really doubled down on her warning that the u.s. could default on its debts as early as june 1st. she said it's highly likely the u.s. would be unable to pay its obligations if that were to happen. and look, it feels like every

morning we are here talking about the timeline. and, yes, on paper it is nine days away from a potential default. but if you take a look at the way things work up on capitol hill, it is a much tighter, tighter time line. they need a write legislative text. there's a rule in the house that requires a bill be posted for 72 hours before it's voted on. then if they get through that, it still needs to go through the senate. so really it appears they are heading into crunch time at this moment, but both sides have acknowledged the urgency of the moment. house speaker kevin mccarthy plans to speak with biden daily until they can reach an agreement. >> all right. arlette saenz with all the details there. thank you so much. >> this matters to all of you. it might sound wonky like another stalemate in washington. but this really matters to you if we default. we're talking about your social security, food stamps, snap, members of the military getting paid, veteran's benefit, government employees, contractors, social security. i could go on and on. on wall street there's a consensus that a default would

likely plunge markets. that means your savings, right, 401(k). so far investors interestingly don't seem overly concerned or the market is not showing that. why is that? our chief business correspondent christine romans is here and cnn matt egan is here. >> wall street is reflecting they are not enough dumb to actually take us over into the abyss. now, that could change. and that could change quickly. i talked to a financial manager doug flynn this morning who said if they tiptoe over this line and still arguing for a few days, you are talking about a 40% decline in the s&p are 500 and then they get religion when their constituents are calling them and their own savings accounts are decimated. we know that back in 2011 the stock market fell 17%. and that's even after they managed to get it done, right? so, it's just a very dangerous moment. what you're hearing from

investors is they're cautious but they don't think they really, really are going to actually shoot american financial exceptionalism in the foot, you know. >> go ahead. >> i was just going to ask you, matt, what happens if wall street jumps first? in other words, they start reacting saying, okay, selloff is happening now. >> could happen. >> it might not be the worst thing. it's kind of been amazing to see how totally chill markets have been about this debt ceiling situation. the u.s. stock market is actually near the highest levels of the entire year. you would never know that there's this ticking time bomb threatening to blow up the economy. but here is the problem, in some ways congress is kind of like a toddler. and i think we have all learned it's kind of hard to get a toddler to do anything that he or she doesn't want to do. so, how do you get congress to do something it doesn't want to do? well, if the markets were down, lawmakers will be getting a lot of calls from their voter, from maybe more importantly their donors. that might be enough to light a fire under the politicians.

we actually saw this in 2008. if you remember, initially congress voted down tarp, the controversial bailout of wall street. then the markets tanked. >> 7% in an hour, right. >> incredible. markets tanked, lawmakers came back and then they approved it. we are hearing from some experts on wall street and in washington that it might take some market turmoil to get congress do do the right thing here. >> i still remember that day, the market tanked 788 points. i was in an airport somewhere. everyone was looking at the screen at the close of the market. everyone. then congress got it together like they found religion the next morning. >> maybe they can find religion that quickly in this case. we're running out of time. i was listening to the report, they should raise the debt ceiling and promise to keep working. that's the cleanest, simplest, most sane thing to do, raise the debt ceiling but promise to keep working on debt deficits. long term all of that debt at higher interest rates will choke out other investments in the

united states, but right now our borrowing, american borrowing power is the envy of the world and this is the corner stone of the financial system. no reason to be messing with this and 401(k)s and senior citizen's checks. are you kidding me? >> it's nuts. >> the problem is that treasury is running out of not just time but cash. >> christine checks it on her phone every morning. >> 60 billion. >> down from more than 200 billion just two weeks ago. >> i have my bank account and the u.s. treasuries right next to each other. >> that's why we're hearing janet yellen double down on this early june deadline so they have to act very soon. >> she changed her wording slightly but in an important way in that letter she wrote to congress yesterday. >> now it's highly likely. >> not just likely that a june 1st default could happen. thank you very much. gut wrenching video from the southern border. 4-year-old boy dropped over the fence. an update on how the child is doing this morning. billionaire gop megadonor is offering up new explanation for

had dropped pretty significantly. this was just days after the expiration of title 42. do we have an update on where that stands? because we just really got the first few days numbers. where are we now? >> reporter: you know, the u.s. customs and border protection patrol chief tweeted those numbers yesterday. they account to about 3,000 migrant encounters per day. that's a 70% drop from the days leading up to the ending of title 42 which the numbers were at 10,000 migrant encounters per day. the question is why of course? what i'm hearing from sources and contacts on the border is there's a few reasons. first of all, that mexico upped its enforcement. they're returning migrants deeper into southern mexico. and also, those thousands of migrants who were waiting have decided to wait in mexico for the cbp to get an appointment to go into a port of entry rather than entering the country illegally. in this post title 42 world they

learned there are legal consequences to entering the country illegally. poppy, what i'm hearing from sources and contacts is that what we can expect to see are migrants taking riskier measures like what we're seeing here to enter the country undetected and that could mean, of course, unfortunately more deaths. >> wow. rosa flores, thank you for the updates. appreciate the reporting. this coming to us this morning. we're getting a new troubling advisory about social media's impact on children. the surgeon general is warning now that there is a profound risk of harm to children. details on that are ahead. also, this video showing a california dad saving his baby who jumped in a pool without a life vest. surveillance video shows the 1-year-old take the vest off and walk to the edge of the pool. he gets in. but in a matter of seconds, his dad, who is a firefighter scoops him up, pulls him to safety from the water. >> i look over and i can't find

♪ this morning, we're getting new insight into the relationship between supreme court justice clarence thomas and har lin crow from the gop mega-donor himself. the real estate magnet spoke to the atlantic about his highly scrutinized relationship with justice thomas, a relationship that includes luxury travel, tuition gifts, and a real estate purchase that crow says, quote, i have never nor would i ever think about talking about matters that relate to the judiciary with justice clarence thomas, though, he did follow up with this email to the reporter, it's not like we haven't talked about work-related issues. it's not realistic for two people to be friend and not talk

about their jobs from time to time. a company related to crow had a copyright case. though the court declined to hear it. crow also addressed buying the home of thomas' mother in a private real estate deal allows her to live in it. i don't see the foot fault. all right. the thing that really stood out to me was this idea that, of course, we're friends and we talk about work. which is true for most of us. we do talk, usually complain, about work to our friends and family. but, there is another layer here because justice thomas is a supreme court justice. who could decide on cases that involve things that have to do with crow. what was your take? >> yeah, that's right. these two are certainly old friends. they've been friends since after thomas got on the court about 30 years. and the way crow talks about it,

people of the same generation. they have some alignment in political views, i think, but most of the time when they talk, they talk about things like their shared love of motown, he said. they talk about things that -- like the weather, sports. what i think crow has a hard time understanding, yes, this is a supreme court justice. and so, forget house transactions. you can't buy a drink for a supreme court justice without someone wondering exactly what the nature of this relationship is. to crow clearly thinks of it as a friendship. to everybody else, there's a lot more suspicion that that relationship deserves. >> one of the things that i find striking, sort of as a thread throughout the piece is that he really down plays his power. so, he denies talking to crow at all about the law. he says to you, he has little power over the american political scene. he points to trump as an example of that. but a lot of this, by the way, happened way before trump.

and then has some hindsight that is 2020 for him, right? now he admits it looks kind of sketchy. >> yeah. or 2016 hindsight. i mean, har lan crow is a gop megadonor who has paid for think tanks that have been part of the intellectual architecture of the gop. he is also very much anti-trump. so in 2016, when donald trump won, i think he kind of wondered where did all that money go if what he was trying to build was something that was not a trump republican party. and he had no power to stop donald trump from rising. so, you know, you get people who are billionaires or near billionaires who think that they have bought power and then suddenly it doesn't go their way and they feel as powerless as the next person. of course, the next person doesn't have clarence thomas on speed dial, doesn't have connections to politicians left and right. but i think what harlan crow told me for the atlantic piece

really shows what it feels like to be someone who feels like he's in charge for a while and then turns out not to be. >> so interesting. >> i want to ask you about clarence thomas' role and kind of what crow thought about it. thomas never reported that crow bought this house for his mother. she could live in there rent free until the end of her life. how did crow describe his feelings about that purchase to you? >> so, crow thinks that he did nothing wrong with this purchase. now, the details of this purchase are as follows. it's a small house in this area of georgia that clarence thomas grew up in. and crow has over the years paid for public library donations, donations to preserve the culture of the people des descendants of african slaves in that area. and he found that this house, that clarence thomas had this association with, was still inhabited by clarence thomas'

mother 94 years old and bought it for fair market value, 130 grand. and the mother is 94 years old, so crow, who, of course, he's one of the largest real estate developers in the country, this is nothing to him. and he said, you know, i'll let a 94-year-old woman live there for the rest of her days and that will be -- have a negligible effect on the value of the transaction. so from his perspective he was buying a house to preserve for as a historic site or museum for the life of his friend and some ways one of his heroes clarence thomas. from the perspective of everyone else he is writing a check to clarence thomas who owned the house and letting clarence thomas' mother live there for as long as she lives. so, again, it's an example of where from crow's perspective he's doing a nice thing. he's helping a friend. he's helping an american hero. and from everybody else's perspective, he's doing something that deserves the

deepest scrutiny because it involves the integrity of the supreme court of the united states. >> which is being questioned in ways that it hasn't ever before. here we are in 2023. thank you so much, graeme wood for your reporting and for coming on the show. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. clean sweep. the denver nuggets knocked out the lakers and they're headed to the nba finals. and now, oh, this song. >> really, really? who is playing this song. >> now lebron james isn't going to the finals this year. what are his plans for next year? retirement? maybe. >> we'll see what happens going forward. i don't know. i don't know.
