6:00 am
happening now, donald trump's plane on a tarmac in new jersey waiting to take him to florida where dozens of federal charges await him. it's a historic morning with major new developments in this unprecedented case. pressure also building within the republican party. new polling finds the indictment will likely not pose a threat to president trump's 2024 run. what this now means for the future of the gop and how his rivals are responding. and in miami security outside this federal courthouse
6:01 am
only getting tighter. more police now being brought in as trump calls on his supporters to gather. we are covering this major story and many more like only cnn can right now on cnn "news central." ♪ the road to miami and the surrender of the former president of the united states begins this morning. very shortly donald trump will leave his bedminster, new jersey, golf course where he is accused of displaying sensitive national security documents to guests. he will then board his plane, that is waiting on the tarmac at newark, airport. he will head to florida. we are awaiting his departure. trump will appear inside a miami courthouse tomorrow and be placed under arrest on 37 charges relating to his handling of classified documents. this morning security is tight and getting tighter. trump is calling on supporters to rally.
6:02 am
today we are going to get an update from law enforcement as fears of mass protests and possible violence grows. we're also getting new details of just how quick this trip to south florida will be after court trump will fly back to new jersey where he will speak at a fundraiser. he is vowing to stay in the presidential race even if convicted. we have crews covering every angle, every development this morning. let's begin in miami, cnn's katelyn polantz is there. why don't you set the scene of what's going on. >> reporter: well, john, the scene of the alleged crimes here is just along the florida coast in palm beach, but we are in miami and that is where donald trump is going to have to go to make his first appearance in federal court facing this unprecedented indictment. so the way that this is going to play out is donald trump has to travel into the state of florida, he is up in new jersey so he's going to travel into florida, into miami, stay at his resort, get together -- so that they're going to be able to tell
6:03 am
him, you know, what to expect in federal court, what's going to happen in this proceeding. and then tomorrow he and his entourage, security that protects him, they will be coming to the courthouse. we might not see him at all physically walk into the courthouse. and once he's inside then it's even more of a lockdown. this isn't like his case in new york state where there were cameras in the hallway watching him to go into the courtroom and then photographs of him in the courtroom itself. there will be nothing like that. so he will be appearing before a magistrate judge, also his co-defendant, walt nauta, is summoned to be here at that same time. they will be read the charges, we're told what they're charged with so the willful retention of documents for donald trump and then for both of them obstruction of justice. they're both accused of trying to obstruct the investigation by moving boxes around mar-a-lago so the feds wouldn't find them. and then they will get the opportunity to enter their pleas. we do expect them both to say that they are not guilty, even if there could be the possibility of a plea deal on
6:04 am
the horizon or further along in this. and that will all be before a magistrate judge. what will happen after that is what we will really be watching for because that can be a pretty short proceeding, john. after that, that's when the federal district judge, aileen cannon, she will come in and help set a timeline and discuss a little bit more details about how this is also going to play out toward trial. >> you say aileen cannon the federal judge will help set a timeline. people remember aileen cannon because she was the judge who gave somewhat favorable rulings to donald trump early on in this investigation that were overruled by an appeals court. when she sets the timing for this case could we learn, for instance, if there might be a trial before a presidential election? >> reporter: totally. and, john, it's quite plausible a trial would take place before the presidential election. that's a pretty long time from now in the clock of a court, but the question is how close to the presidential election it will
6:05 am
be. and you mentioned judge aileen cannon what she has done before in this. the thing that she was overturned on doing by the appeals court previously was she had decided to elongate the investigation. they said she couldn't do that. so we are going to be watching what she does here, if she will agree with the justice department to make this a speedy trial. >> that might be one of the most important things to watch tomorrow. katelyn polantz, with err lucky to have you there. i expect we will be talking quite a lot in the next few hours and days. thank you. rahel. no american has ever run for president while facing dozens of felonies, so how exactly is trump's team preparing to handle all of this? alayna treene is in bedminster, new jersey, where his team has been strategizing. what more are we learning about trump's plans for today? >> reporter: good morning, rahel. so we are just outside donald trump's golf club in bedminster where he will soon be leaving to
6:06 am
head to florida ahead of his appearance in court tomorrow. he will be traveling just by here and then we're told that once he's there he will be huddling with his florida-based legal team to figure out his new strategy, that's after donald trump abruptly removed two of his attorneys, jim trusty and john rowley on friday. we are told that he also spent the weekend calling more attorneys and that his attorney who he just fired a couple months ago todd blanche will appear with him in court tomorrow. tonight donald trump is expected to stay at his dora resort in, miami, and immediately after his arraignment tomorrow afternoon he will be flying back to bedminster where he will host a fundraiser and speak publicly to the crowd there. now, rahel, we have seen this playbook before, donald trump when he was indicted in april in manhattan he left his arraignment and abruptly flew to mar-a-lago where he took to a stage ahead of a crowd of his supporters and he railed against
6:07 am
the charges and framed them as very political. i'm told that we should expect similar remarks tomorrow night in bedminster, rahel. >> alayna treene, live in bedminster, we will check in with you throughout the morning. thank you. so this morning trump's opponents for the republican nomination are weighing in on the indictment and their comments are from condemnation to defense. on one end you have former new jersey governor -- sorry, former arkansas governor asa hutchinson who said, quote, we don't need a commander in chief that disregards the nation's secrets. former new jersey governor chris christie who will appear in a cnn town hall tonight said this. >> the bigger sh issue for our country is is this the type of conduct that we want from someone who wants to be president of the united states? the facts that are laid out here are damning in terms of donald trump's conduct and that's, i think, what we as a party should be looking at. >> so a shade less critical, former south carolina governor
6:08 am
nikki haley called the indictment prosecutorial overreach but adds that it was time to move beyond the endless drama and distractions. north dakota governor doug bur burgum said he would follow every rule related to classified documents. said voters don't want to spend their time talking about trump's mishandling of documents. former vice president mike pence said this. >> we also need to hear the former president's defense then each of us can make our own judgment on whether this is the latest example of a justice department working in injustice. >> he also said that attorney general merrick garland should, quote, stop hiding behind the special counsel. florida governor ron desantis accused the doj of weaponizing federal law enforcement. >> you can't have one faction of society weaponizing the power of the state against factions that it doesn't like. >> and on the other end from asa
6:09 am
hutchinson and chris christie you have entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy who flat out said he would pardon the former president if he is elected. law enforcement officials in florida are ramping up as you might imagine security outside that miami courthouse. former president trump will appear there before a federal judge tomorrow. in a few hours officials in miami will hold a press conference on their security preparations. with us now cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> when you look at what we can expect, something struck me. donald trump put out on social media saying, see you in miami, and it reminded me of another thing he said before the january 6th insurrection, it's going to be wild is what he said back then. is this a different message but same intention, to get people to come out and support him? >> well, i know he wants to get people out. the flier for the rally, the formal flier, says peaceful rally. he was on the radio with roger
6:10 am
stone, roger stone, you know, underscored that, but said peaceful, orderly and so on. so there's a bit of a change in the message, which is probably the calculus that january 6th didn't do him a lot of good in terms of image, so i think what they're saying they expect of people to show up, we need the picture, we need the voice. >> what does that mean to law enforcement? >> what it means to law enforcement is they're looking at this in a 360-degree view, not just what donald trump is saying about showing up, which is what's going on in the chat rooms, what's the pitch and tone of the things that you're seeing on discord and tiktok and so on, and what is the factor of the crowd becoming disorderly versus something by a lone wolf. maybe not in miami, so as josh campbell from cnn reported on friday, the fbi's intelligence director put out a notice to 56 field office saying ear to the ground, pulse your sources, watch the social media, the fusion centers across the country are looking at that and
6:11 am
what they're seeing is we're going to 1776 these mf's, time to start loading magazines, this is civil war. so they're concerned about those comments from individuals. now, in context, we saw that during and before and leading up to the new york indictment and nothing happened, but that was because of -- either because nothing happened or because there was very good security built around that. >> yeah. >> miami pd is there, miami dade county is there, the florida state police are there, u.s. marshals inside the courthouse, fbi scanning for threats, secret service protecting trump. so you're going to look at a big operation today. >> i want to talk about some of the rhetoric that's been used. it really is a war-like rhetoric being used by donald trump who called this the final battle. two arizona republican andy biggs saying we have now reached a war phase. listen to this from kari lake who failed to win the governorship in arizona. >> if you want to get to president trump you're going to
6:12 am
have to go through me and you're going to have to go through 75 million americans just like me. >> and then she mentioned that they were all members of the nra. so that they have guns basically. >> right. >> how does law enforcement see this as a potential ginning up to the point where somebody, someone may take this in a very different way? >> i mean, you look at it from an intelligence analyst standpoint which is where is the threat coming from? does this individual have access to weapons? has there been any planning or scoping out operationally to do something? a lot of this is blow hards, puffery, but you have to remember right after the mar-a-lago search warrant an individual with an ar-15 assault weapon opened fire on an fbi office in cincinnati, ohio, and then engaged in a shootout to his death with police. so this kind of inflammatory talk in the words matter department from an intelligence
6:13 am
standpoint is it's not just the puffery. somebody out there, somebody in multiples, is taking that very seriously. we have seen that time and time again. >> people act on it sometimes when they see all this have. >> exactly. >> i do want to lastly ask you, i know and have interviewed the former head of the proud boys which he's from miami, he's from south florida. >> enrico tarrio. >> who has been convicted of seditious conspiracy along with some of the other members but there is a large contingent of proud boys there, other extremist groups. what's the calculation there for law enforcement? >> the proud boys is an interesting group in that the leadership is going to jail, they're convicted, they're going to be sentenced to significant prison time, but it's a decentralized group. the proud boy chapters from state to state operate completely independently now. so we have seen everything from proud boys showing up in full military gear with semi-automatic rifles at drag
6:14 am
queen story hours for the purpose of intimidation. so, you know, when they make a call for other state chapters to join them in miami it's short notice, they don't create a big crowd but they are of concern because of who they are and what they are. >> john miller, always great to hear your analysis, appreciate it. rahel? and sara, with just one day to go in that trump court appearance, all eyes are on prosecutors and the challenges they may face. coming up, the tough road ahead for the special counsel. plus, walt nauta an aide to donald trump also indicted on six counts in the special counsel's investigation, he is accused of moving boxes of classified documents around the resort. so who is the man that traveled with the former president from the white house to mar-a-lago? and it's business as usual for president biden who is also being investigated for his handling of classified documents. how long will he stay silent? we will be right back.

6:19 am
welcome back. hours from now donald trump leaves new jersey ahead of his appearance in federal court in miami tomorrow. prosecutors are getting ready for some significant challenges as they begin trying the case against the former president. joining us now is former federal prosecutor katie cher could you ski. great to have you this morning. let's start with some of the challenges. a lot has been said about the judge at least tapped to initially oversee this case that is judge aileen cannon, she was appointed by trump, has already faced scrutiny for past decisions that some have said were biased toward trump. in terms of how this impacts prosecutors, how much more challenging could that make this case for prosecutors? >> i think we have to look at any criminal case the day that the indictment drops is really the strongest day for the prosecution. after that defense counsel are going to be able to poke holes in the case, talk about witness
6:20 am
credibility and find any sort of reasonable doubt that exists and that's just on the facts and the law, and procedurally speaking like you were mentioning the judge, the judge in the case does make a lot of very significant decisions approximate what evidence comes n the timing of the case, i think realistically speaking there is no way this case gets to trial before the election that's just a normal trajectory for any federal case or any trial case. so i think that absolutely the judge can have an impact. the case does have challenges on both the legal side, factual side and on the procedural side in many ways, but that's in any prosecution really. >> in terms of the evidence we saw in the indictment some of the questions that trump asked his own counsel was ultimately included in indictment. you say you found that really shocking. why is that? >> well, i find it a bit odd that in the indictment some of the evidence that's been put forth by the prosecutors at this point is actually questions that donald trump posed to counsel that they are now using as evidence of some sort of obstruction or efforts to obstruct and that really kind of
6:21 am
hinges on the idea of an attorney/client privilege because when we are talking about trump or any client, the attorneys are the ones who are obviously the experts on the law, a client should be able to ask their counsel questions about the scope of the law and what bounds that actually has. i'm interested by the fact that in the indictment itself if you read statements from trump, many are actually questions that are posed. it does bring into the question how far the attorney/client privilege is going to be kind of implicated in all of this. >> i bet the question will be really interesting to see how much of the questions were pure questions versus suggestions. that said, in terms of the attorney/client privilege obviously pierced in this case, very unusual. how unusual is that for prosecutors to have that type of evidence of those conversation fs between an attorney and his client or her client? >> well, i think that there are some attorneys involved here who are concerned about their own liability, own culpability in this so they wanted to get ahead of that and say, look, i was
6:22 am
doing what my client directed me to do, but, again, that's really a legal question for the judge to look at. so i don't think it's so clean cut, it's very -- it's very uncommon for the most part, but certainly there are situations where you can pierce that privilege. i think that's going to be a challenge for prosecutors. attorneys who are certifying things that they didn't personally view or confirm themselves. >> trump's former ag bill barr spoke yesterday, this has been making the rounds. i want to play for you the clip and then we can discuss. >> if even half of it is true, then he's toast. i mean, it's a pretty -- it's a very detailed indictment and it's very, very damning. this idea of presenting trump as a victim here, a victim of a witch-hunt, is ridiculous. >> so what is it exactly that makes this indictment so much different? is it the shear amount of evidence, the photos that were included in the indictment, the
6:23 am
transcripts, the recordings? i mean, what makes this indictment so damning as many have said? >> i think in my mind i don't really understand the conclusion that bill barr comes to that it's incredibly damning. i think there are aspects that are more damning than others but a lot of this hinges on what the judge determines is the state of the law with regard to the status of these documents. i think i have not yet heard how this case is legally distinct from the clinton case or the biden case. when we are talking about retention or wrongful retention of national defense information or classified information, that actually occurs at the time that the documents are removed. returning them at the behest or request of investigators or federal agents does not make the crime not occur. so in terms -- >> there's also the obstruction component of this. >> that's a separate issue all together. certainly that's very true. the obstruction issues are different but the retention crimes owe tur at the time that they are removed. i think there is a big question about the selective prosecution
6:24 am
of this but there's a lot of people saying it is strong. we will see what happens. >> katie cherkasky, thank you. the syracuse police chief says all 13 people who were either shot, stabbed or hit by cars at a block party over the weekend are expected to survive. the scene unfolded when around 200 people gathered for the party, promoted on social media. no suspects have been publicly identified but given the number of people involved, the chief says the investigation will be lengthy. bright me griner's wnba team will be making adjustments when they travel to pro -- in order to protect their players' safety. this comes after griner was harassed at the dallas airport by a man yelling about the prisoner swap that led to her release from a russian prison. a source tells cnn it got so heated law enforcement was involved. history made at the tony awards as j. harrison gi and alex newell were the first

6:30 am
one person we have not heard from on this indictment, president biden. not saying a word on the unprecedented federal indictment of former president trump. while trump and his republican allies have slammed the prosecution as a political witch-hunt, the president has repeatedly stressed the independence of the justice department and its investigators. cnn's arlette saenz is joining us now. we haven't heard from president trump -- sorry, president biden on this. we have certainly heard plenty from former president trump. why do you think that is? >> reporter: well, sara, president biden and the white house are really engaging in this very deliberate business as usual type of strategy. it's something that we saw them engage in when the former president was indicted up in new york on state charges back in
6:31 am
april, but what you've seen from the president all the way down to his spokespeople and also over to the campaign is that they are just not commenting on this matter. part of it will give the president this opportunity, his advisers say, to really present this stable and steady approach, especially compared to some of the tumultuous nature around this indictment and also former president donald trump's in office. there's another reason for why the president is not engaging, officials have said that he does not want to add more fuel to former president trump's claims that these investigations are types of political witch hunts. the president doesn't want to get baited into answering and weighing in on those types of questions. he also firmly believes that sitting presidents should not be commenting on legal matters. all we really heard from president biden have been these no comments. he was traveling on friday in north carolina, peppered by questions from reporters, and simply said he was not going to comment on that matter. when our colleague dj judd asked
6:32 am
him whether he had talked to attorney general merrick garland he said he wasn't going to talk to him, he had no intention and wasn't going to talk any further than that. the only real comment we have heard from president biden was before the news of the indictment broke. last thursday he was asked how americans could trust the independence of the justice department at a time when it has been repeatedly attacked by the former president and president biden simply said that he has never told his justice department what to do or what not to do. so for today we expect to see the president, he has a pretty packed day, keeping his normal schedule. he is welcoming some college athletes here to the white house, also meeting with the nato secretary general, as well as speaking at a reception for the chiefs of diplomatic missions around the world a bit later this afternoon. but we will see over the course of the next few days how he continues to handle this approach but all signs have been that he is not going to be weighing in on the substance this have legal case that the former president is facing at this moment. >> all right. arlette saenz, thank you so much
6:33 am
for that. john? very shortly former president trump will leave his golf course in bedminster, new jersey, head to the airport in newark and take off for miami where he will appear in federal court tomorrow. alongside him, maybe as soon as today when he leaves new jersey will be his aide walt nauta. this personal aide has been at the center of this case from the very beginning. he is charged as a co-conspirator in this case and will appear along with trump inside court tomorrow. he is charged with, among other things, helping to obstruct justice and perhaps lying to investigators in this case. cnn's sara murray has been following this from the very beginning, she joins us now. sara, walt nauta has been in the spotlight here from the very beginning. talk to us about who he is and why he's so important. >> that's right, and he was still by former president donald trump's side over the weekend. now, look, walt nauta may not
6:34 am
have been very well-known until now but he certainly is at this point. this is someone who is a 40-year-old navy veteran, he actually started at the white house in the mess hall and then he became a valet at the white house. when donald trump left the white house and went back to mar-a-lago after his presidency walt nauta went along with him, serving as his body man. that's someone serving in very close proximity. you need a diet coke he's getting it. you want to hand off the documents you're holding, he is taking them. so essentially what prosecutors allege is that walt nauta helped donald trump conceal these documents at mar-a-lago and then made false statements to prosecutors. so he's charged with things like conspiracy to could be strukt justice, as you mentioned, trying to withhold a document or record and then making false statements to federal agents. one of the key allegations in this indictment when it comes to walt nauta is about this period between when donald trump's team received a subpoena in may to return all of these documents with classified markings and
6:35 am
when evan corcoran did a search at mar-a-lago, found the documents he was going to hand over. according to the special counsel's indictment walt nauta moved boxes around mar-a-lago at five different points. he moved 64 boxes out of that storage room and put only 30 back. so if you are sitting here and you've been wondering why did trump's attorney only find roughly 40 documents are classified markings when did he that search and a little after that federal agents show up, search mar-a-lago, find 100 documents with classified markings, prosecutors are saying walt nauta and donald trump worked together to move those documents. >> we just lost our lighting by the way, sara, in the studio so if i look dark here that's why. they're coming back on now. walt nauta as you pointed out was traveling with donald trump this weekend for campaign stops, not coincidentally one might think. what has trump said about nauta? >> he posted on his social media page a couple days ago saying that walt nauta has done a fantastic job, saying prosecutors are out to ruin his
6:36 am
life in order to get nauta to say bad things about trump. we do know prosecutors have been trying to get walt nauta to cooperate, obviously that hasn't happened yet to this point, john. >> all right. sara murray for us, thank you very much. we will be talking to you again very soon. rahel? john, coming up, just for us and just ahead, how the collapse of an overpass could cause a traffic nightmare not just in philadelphia but really along the east coast. also another american citizen being detained in russia. find out what authorities are charging the man with and what his mother is saying about her son's arrest. we will be right back.

scrambling to find any kind of alternate transportation options after a section of i-95 collapsed over the weekend. this happened after a tanker truck caught fire. pennsylvania's transportation secretary said it is probably the busiest highway in the state. i-95 is of course the crucial artery that stretches the entire length of the east coast. this could take months to repair. the ntsb team is headed to the site to investigate. cnn's danny freeman in philadelphia now. can't be easy to get around this morning, danny. >> reporter: no, john, it's very difficult to get around and i just have to say i came from just about the area of south philly up to northeast philadelphia to get to this spot and i had to take back roads and i was sharing the roads with large trucks. a lot of vehicles that are normally used to driving up and down i-95. that illustrates what we're dealing with here. first i want to get to some actually new video that we just were able to obtain from right up close to the wreckage. you can see right there this
6:42 am
investigation now seems to be under way and they appear to be -- have access for the first time now to what appears to be the wreckage of that tanker truck that really started this whole incident more than 24 hours ago. you can see first responders on the left side of your screen sifting through the rubble there, it looks like a carcass of a tanker truck when you are up close, also that huge i-beam. you can see that this process is going to take a while. the answer that they are looking for is how did this all happen? here is what we do know at this point, this all started 6:30 a.m. yesterday on sunday morning. a tanker truck was underneath i-95, caught fire, eventually that fire got so hot the northbound lanes collapsed, that's what you've been seeing on your screens all day, the southbound lanes still deemed unsafe at this time. at this point there are no injuries that have been reported, but the governor said yesterday at a press conference that they are still looking to see if anyone was inside of that truck when this collapse happened. i want you to take a listen to some of the things that governor
6:43 am
josh shapiro told us when he first laid eyes on this wreckage from above. >> remarkable devastation and i found myself, you know, thanking the lord that no motorists who were on i-95 were injured or died. just a remarkably devastating sight, one that our first responders, law enforcement and others contained very, very quickly. they got people out of harm's way and now under the leadership of secretary carroll and others the hard work of clearing the site and rebuilding it will be under way and we are going to move as quickly as possible. >> reporter: and, john, just for some context here, penndot says that this area of i-95 is probably the busiest stretch of highway in the entire commonwealth of pennsylvania and governor shapiro said that the cleanup may take some number of months. it will be a problem out here for a while still.
6:44 am
john? >> huge problem. danny, thanks so much. appreciate it. rahel? turning back to 2024, former new jersey governor chris christie makes the case for why he should be president and why donald trump should not. in a cnn town hall tonight christie is expected to take aim a trump over his indictment and the classified documents investigation. you might remember in new hampshire last week christie also slammed his primary rivals for not directly criticizing trump. anderson cooper will moderate tonight's town hall. let's bring in omar jimenez. what more do we know about chris christie's strategy tonight? >> a big part of his strategy s one, not shying away from donald trump, but also making the case why he believes the country under donald trump would be a country we would no longer recognize. i was at that campaign kickoff event in new hampshire less than a week ago at this point and one of the things he talked about was that he feels the country has a choice between going bigger and going smaller. by that he went through moment after moment in u.s. history going back to the revolutionary
6:45 am
war where he felt like the country chose to go bigger, he feels like under trump we would be getting smaller. of course, the news in recent days around trump is something he has pounced on. take a listen to how he has reacted to news of the indictment. >> the fact is that these facts are -- are devastating. you know, people are going to argue about who should and who should not have been indicted and who should be tried, but let me say this, the bigger issue for our country is is this the type of conduct that we want from someone who wants to be president of the united states? to take national security documents involving warfare and our nuclear program, to keep them in their -- in their home when they are not allowed to do so, exposing them to potentially being seen by any number of people, and then actually showing them to people, showing off. this is irresponsible conduct. >> now, christie doesn't just
6:46 am
see his strategy as just going after trump and not trying to win. he doesn't see those two things as mutually exclusive. he has said any path to the nomination, though, he does believe goes through trump, not around him. >> a lot to watch tonight. omar jimenez, thank you. sara? now to a remarkable story of survival. we have new details this morning on just how four children were able to survive for more than a month after their plane crashed in the amazon jungle. colombian authorities say the children were ages between 13 and 1 years old stopped at a clearing in the jungle after weeks of walking because of exhaustion. search crews finally found them because they heard the baby crying. let's go to cnn's stefano pozzebon for more on this. how in the world did these children manage to survive for so long in the jungle? >> reporter: yeah, sara, just a remarkable story and remarkable achievement from these four young children.
6:47 am
i think that the youngest of them she turned one in the middle of the jungle just a couple of weeks ago. yesterday we heard from the father who said that the kids were found alive, basically thanks that to their indigenous heritage by eating fruit, seeds. we also know from colombian officials that they had some flour with them on the flight when the flight crashed on may 1st and that was to help them to stay alive. i want to go back to the father, sara, and let you listen here what he said about never losing hope, even when the odds were so clearly staked against them. take a listen. >> translator: we are indigenous people. i believe in the jungle, which is our mother, and that's why i've always kept the faith and would say that both the jungle and nature have never betrayed me. >> reporter: indeed the jungle did bring back the children to that father. it's just a remarkable story no
6:48 am
matter how you see it and we are just in front of the hospital where the kids are currently staying. it's just good to be here, frankly. sara? >> wow. hearing from him, the beauty of the indigenous mind and how the children responded to that when they were in trouble. what now happens to the children? is there any idea of when they might get out of the hospital now? >> reporter: yes, we know that the children will stay here in this hospital for the next two to three weeks. they are receiving of course federal treatment but also some psychological support. you can only imagine, share ration how affected they are after surviving this experience and just a reminder that the mother of the four children died in that plane crash. then the father said that he wants to stay here in bogota after he takes his kids out, but made an urge to the colombian president when he spoke with us, saying that the president should invest more for transportation in the amazon because tragedies like this should not occur.
6:49 am
again, this is a good story and we are happy to be here. >> stefano pozzebon, thank you so much for that. that little baby turned one, had a birthday in the jungle, surviving there. amazing. john? sara, shortly we expect to see donald trump leave his bedminster golf course and drive the 30 miles to the newark, new jersey, airport. his plane is waiting there to take him to florida. tomorrow he surrenders at a miami courthouse. we will update you on his departure. also, a bear at the beach. that's all. a bear swimming at the beach. that's the tease. hoid enters the room. phil: excuse m me? hillary: that wasn't me. narrator: saidid hillary, who's only taken 347 steps today. hillary: i cycled h here. narrator: speaking of cycles, mary's perioiod is due to start in three days. mary: how dodo they know so much about us? narrator: your all sharing health data without realizing it. that's how i know about kevin's rash. who's next? wait... what's that in your hand? no, no, stop!
