partying with supporters, quizzing donors and raising millions. we have new behind-the-scenes details of how trump spent his evening after becoming the first president to be federally indicted. new predictions finding that new england is more likely to experience wildfires this summer than the american west. we're following this story and many more on cnn news central. raising cash and doing it fast. just hours after pleading not

guilty to 37 federal felonies over his handling of classified documents, we learned that former president trump racked up more than $2 million in his bedminster home. before he flew back, he stopped to greet supporters at a cuban restaurant in miami. his former chief of staff john kelly believes it's all an act. he told "the washington post," he's scared s-less. he gives people the appearance, he doesn't care about doing this. for the first time in his life, it looks like he's being held accountable. i want to bring cnn's katelyn poll lanz. what should we expect in the coming weeks and months? >> brianna, this case is going to move to judge aileen cannon.

the case is going to be in her hands. she's going to be the one to put that initial trial date on the calendar, and then there will be many things that happen in the case. first, there's a couple little procedural things that have to take place because of what happened here yesterday at the miami federal courthouse. walt nauta, donald trump's co-defendant, he did not yet have a lawyer in florida who could help with his legal team. this case is based in florida, so he does need one. when he gets that in about two weeks, he's going to be able to have his own arraignment. like donald trump, he plans to be putting in a plea of not guilty at this time headed to trial. the other thing that has to happen is prosecutors are going to have to provide a list to both of the defense teams about the witnesses they want to restri defendants, donald trump and walt nauta, from communicating with about

the facts of the case. that was something that was part of the terms that the judge ordered yesterday. it could always change. that's what's on paper now, what donald trump has agreed to do. we're also watching for more activity from the justice department. this is an investigation that got into florida, the mar-a-lago documents investigation. special counsel jack smith who was in court at the hearing yesterday near donald trump, he's also overseeing the january 6th investigation, also into donald trump. those in his administration around his campaign at the end of 2020 leading up to the capitol riot on january 6th. here is what garland had to say today about special counsel jack smith and his work so far. >> as i said when i pointed mr. smith, i did so because it underscores the justice department's commitment to an oath of independence and accountability. mr. smith is a veteran career

prosecutor. he's assembled a group of experienced and talented prosecutors and agents who share his commitment to integrity and the rule of law. >> reporter: so smith's team does have a little bit of distance from garland and what garland is doing as the attorney general. smith's team can choose to bring cases when they want to, though they do sit within the justice department and the administration, and their work continues, not just getting ready for trial here in florida, but they just had grand jury witnesses in yesterday from the nevada gop related to the january 6th investigation. so lots still to watch as the special counsel's office work continues. >> lots to watch indeed. i want to go to cnn's kristen holmes who is in bedminster, new jersey. he held a fund-raiser last night, as we mentioned. i know you have new details

about what happened there. >> yeah, that's right, brianna. i spoke to a number of people who were present there. they said trump was walking around, wining and dining these high-dollar donors, asking about his arraignment, what did they think, even at some points asking how he looked on camera. he was reveling in all this kof rachlkt i did notice that trump's team a lot more relaxed this time than when i saw them after the manhattan arraignment. they say they believe it's because they have this playbook down, how to deal with these multiple indictments and run for president. part of that was really playing it out in the court of public opinion. that begins by changing the narrative. that's what we started to see yesterday. the trump to versailles was a planned tripped by his team. they wanted positive visuals out for this day. there were no cameras in the courthouse, so they wanted all the visuals to be supporters fawning over him and greeting

him. the other is from the former president using the same lines we've heard before, saying this was all political, attacking jack smith, saying he has done nothing wrong. again, trying to shift the narrative. the other part of this playbook is to continue campaigning as though these things aren't going on. i'm told after his speech he sat down with a number of advisers, went over what event to have next, where to have rallies, which states are the early states to focus on. it remains to be seen whether these things can be done at the same time. the legal battles are not over. this is just the beginning of this. can you run for president and fight all these legal bat tls is simply unknown. i talked to a number of republicans who say they're concerned this is going to harm his electability. >> it's certainly going to take up a lot of time and energy. we're going to see if voters have the time and energy for that. kristen holmes in bedminster, thank you so much.

the security preparations at the miami federal courthouse were a huge consideration. we're learning officials in atlanta were paying attention and taking notes. the sheriff in fulton county sent teams to both miami and new york in april to see what could be learned in case an indictment against the former president is filed at that federal courthouse. district attorney fani willis announced she'll announce her decision soon on whether trump or anyone else may face charges in the investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the peach state. the grand jury 'em basketballed in this case wrapped up last january. that jury's foreperson suggested this in a cnn interview shortly after. >> when this list comes out, you wouldn't -- there are no major plot twists waiting for you. >> but in your view, people will not be surprised when they see the list of names to come out who you recommended to face indictment. >> especially if they've been

following the investigation, i can't see it being a shocker. >> we want to get some reporting from cnn's nick valencia who joins us live from atlanta. nick, what more are you learning about these deputies sent by the sheriff of fulton county essentially to scope out the scene? >> there's been a lot of anticipation for month and mo months. now we know there are preparations under way. the fulton county sheriff, pat la bat told me days after trump's court appearance that he sent deputies in new york to look at the strategy there, safety and security. we know he did the same thing at the federal courthouse in miami yesterday. again to -- basically what he's saying, be prepared should the former president face charges and be indicted in fulton county. this is what he said in a statement to us. based on notice provided by the

fulton county district attorney's office regarding the intent to to bring charges this summer, the fulton county sheriff's office is coordinating with local, state and federal agencies to ensure our law enforcement community is equipped and prepared to protect the public. boris, it was in april that fani willis, the district attorney leading that investigation, sent a letter to loumt officials and that included the sheriff, saying she would make the potential announcement of charges between july 11 and september 1st. her timeline has been pushed back because of security concerns. this, as we all know, has been really a long-running investigation that started with a now infamous phone call in january of 2021 between the former president, donald trump, and secretary of state here in georgia, brad raffensperger. it's a wide-ranging and broad investigation with fani willis looking at charges of conspiracy and recollect tearing. that could include former president donald trump. boris.

>> nick valencia from atlanta, thanks so much. brianna. rchlt now a developing story overseas. we're following the latest on a deadly migrant shipwreck off the coast of greece. barbie, the death toll is pretty staggering here. can you tell us what happened? >> reporter: this is just sort of a classic migrant tale. this boat we understand had around 750 people on it. they took 104 people alive out of the water, found 79 bodies so far. in the cases like this in the past, what happens is, these migrant boats, people are locked in the lower part of the boat when they make this treacherous journey. this boat we're being told is

several thousand meters below the water level right now. it's going to take a long time to understand how many people were on it. greece has declared three days of mourning over the loss of life here. you have to understand the european union as a whole has worked hard not to accept anyone on the boats that do make it over. there's a lot of eyebrow raising that one of those boats go down and everybody is caring about it. they're working the stop the boats from coming at all and to stop tragedies like this from happening. >> now we understand it, why the death toll is expected to rise and rise considerably. still ahead this hour on cnn news central, he knows how spies operate because he hunted them. now he's talking exclusively to cnn about the classified documents allegedly found in a mar-a-lago ballroom and bathroom

zanona on capitol hill. you have fresh reaction from lawmakers. what are they sharing with you. >> reporter: what i would say is the gop's trump divide has become clearer and clearer in recent days. that's because in the immediate aftermath of the indictment last week, were some of trump's staunchest supporters, instantly springing into action to defend the former president even before they saw the full scope of the charges. in recent days, we have heard from more republicans, particularly in the senate, who are expressing concerns over the serious allegations in this indictment and also wondering what this is going to do to their party. just take a listen to john thune, a member of senate gop leadership. >> we've lost three elections in a row now. he's been the issue in every one of those elections, and i don't think getting into this tit for tat where it's a race to the bottom to see who can retaliate against whom from one administration to the next is the way to lead the country

forward. >> reporter: meanwhile, senate gop leader mitch mcconnell has continued to remain silent about the federal indictment of the former president, but it is a very different story in the house where speaker kevin mccarthy has vowed accountability for the department of justice. in fact, top republicans in the house are vowing to use every tool at their disposal to try to undermine the finding of that investigation, whether it's subpoenas or spending bills. house judiciary chairman jim jordan said he wants to investigate the investigation. he's already demanded documents, likely to seek testimony from jack smith, although that's unlikely to succeed. there's active discussions of trying to use spending bills to restrict funding for at least portions of the fbi and doj in a form of retaliation, which would set up a huge clash with the senate. this fight in the gop over trump likely only going to intensify in the weeks and months ahead, boris. >> especially as we get closer to that 2024 election and trump

potentially becomes the nominee. melanie zanona from capitol hill, thanks very much. our next guest has a unique perspective on the classified documents from retrieved inside mar-a-lago. eric o'neill is a former fbi counterintelligence operative. he helped to capture one of america's most dangerous spies, robert hanson, who actually passed away last week. eric, you've seen what happens when government secrets land in the wrong hands. these are very sensitive documents we're talking about. what's your biggest concern after reading the federal indictment of donald trump? >> it's a very interesting indictment as someone who straddles the law, both as an attorney and counterintelligence. this has enormous amounts of detail including pictures which you don't usually see. it's 49 pages. normally indictments are just the bare-bones facts because the prosecutor doesn't want to tip their hand about a lot of evidence they're going to bring

at trial. remember, this is the indictment and trump has been indicted but he still needs to go to trial before a jury of his peers. one thing i can note about this indictment that's pretty interesting to me is the classification markings on the documents. we don't know what's in the documents. we do know the united states government tends to overclassify. when i was in the government, pretty much everything i touched was classified, at some of the highest levels. some of the markings are very interesting, especially ones that seem to come from human sources and also from signals intelligence which could be like a satellite intercept. we only know that because some of the alphabet letters that are used after a designation like top secret or secret, and also there are letters that are redacted. those are, of course, some of the classifications of top secret intelligence that's at a higher level or a compartmented level, is a better way to say

it, that are themselves classified, even the names of the compartments are classified, so they're redacted. so that does cause some concern. >> these are compartmented information that very few people would have access to. so are you saying that you don't think overclassification is actually going to be an issue here, that we're talking about stuff that is highly classified. in this indictment what we read about was vulnerabilities of the u.s., vulnerabilities of allies, responses to potential attacks, nuclear secrets. these are the kinds of things that you would expect to be very highly classified. >> that's absolutely true. once again, we only have very brief descriptions, and the descriptions are purposefully vague, not because the prosecutor is trying to hide the ball, but because the documents are classified. we will probably never see these documents, we being the public. now, trump's defense team will see the documents and will be able to put together a defense

against them. some of the documents might be old. some of the documents might not be as concerning as they look like on paper with the descriptions, but this seems to be a very strong case against trump, not just because the documents seem to be at a higher level of classification, but because where the prosecutor is going. the special prosecutor is making the case for intent, for willful obstruction, that is a very high bar to reach. but it's also laid out in the document. i suspect part of this is for a few reasons. one, he wants to float above the whole political side of this debate that's going to happen behind and outside the courtroom, but also to distinguish this case against trump from one that could, for example, be made against president biden for keeping documents in his garage. >> eric, i want to ask you, because we hear obviously a lot of these counts are hanging on the espionage act. you hear trump and his allies, look at that, say it's

essentialliry dick louz because they argue it's a reach, he's not a spy. yet, that's not really all that the espionage act says or what would be required for there to be someone charged under it, right? >> you're exactly right, brianna. when you think espionage act, you think maybe trump took documents and was sitting at a dark bench in berlin and handing them off to some foreign intelligence officer. that's totally not true. there's no evidence that he had any intent to give it to anyone. in all likelihood, he probably wanted to keep mementos, maybe for a biographer some time down the road. the espionage act also prohibits someone without a security clearance from retaining documents. the espionage act isn't looking at whether or not he committed espionage in handing intelligence information to a foreign hour, but here the act is looking at whether he retained documents that he should have otherwise turned back over to the archives.

you can be tried for that. >> eric o'neill, great to have this conversation with you. thank you. >> thank you, brianna. >> boris. still to come. new details about ukraine's counteroffensive. reports that they're taking back territory. in just a few minutes, the house is going to vote on a resolution that would not only censure but also fine democratic congressman adam schiff $16 million for his role in the trump-russia investigation. will enough republicans cross the aisle to block it? we're told it's a possibility. stay tuned to "cnn news central." we're back in moments. ♪ let your love shine. book an appointmenent now with a bridal jewelry expert. at zales, the diamond store.

ukraine is reporting its military is facing fierce fighting in the long-awaited counteroffensive against russian troops. ukraine says it's cloud back some of itteit russia in the zaporizhzhia region. joining me is -- let's get started with looking at a map of southern ukraine. right now the ukrainians say they're making progress close to this area. see if i can get this to function. that would be great. there we go. why in these specific areas are they focused? >> the road networks are much

better up here. candidly, their objective is to try to get either toward mariupol. what happened was down here in kherson, they flooded this area. this would have been a likely attack route for the ukrainians. they can't come there now. it's likely that's the direction they're trying to take. >> what do you make of the reports that they're making some progress right now? does it read as promising? >> no. nor does it read as non-promising. it's too early at this point. we've got to look at this as a chess game. what's out there right now are the reconnaissance units, the rooks. they're trying to find weaknesses in the line, softness in the line so that when they find those, they can send the second road, the big pieces, the

king, the queen, and send them in. what they're trying to do now is find the weak points. >> the context of trying to split up this land bridge is important when you look at what russia is doing as well. they've been targeting odessa, in this area, a very important port city, as we look at some of the damage caused by drone and missile strikes. this has been an area russia has been targeting since day one. >> sure. what they wanted to do, if we can bring up a map. it has always been one of their objectives to cut off ukraine from the sea. they can do that if they can get all the way to odessa. the ukrainians held them at kherson for months and months. i think at this time they still eventually want to get to odesa and make ukraine a landlocked country. >> we've been focused on the kinds of weapons that russia is using here, launching the

caliber cruise missiles obviously with a sizable range, and they're also using these drones manufactured by iran, as we look at this promotional video that iran put out. how well do you think ukraine's capabilities can defend against this aerial assault and for how long? >> in the case of the missile, not very long. they're very much like our tomahawk missiles. in fact, they're modeled after each other. they have inesh yeah guidance, so they don't use gps. they phi fast and low. the shahed drones are a little different. we're now starting to get much better on anti-drone operations, counterdrone operations, particularly with the types of equipment provided by the germans, the guns that can shoot them out of the sky. they both remain very potent weapons and will be instrumental in slowing down or stopping the ukrainians in this counterattack. >> brigadier general mark

federal prosecutors have just rested their case in the pittsburgh mass shooting trial after calling 60 witnesses over nearly three weeks of testimony against suspect robert bowers. among them, extremely emotional testimony from andrea wedder in, a congregate of the tree of life synagogue severely injured in the shooting. her mother, 97 years old was shot and killed feet away from her. the defense notably today also rested after having called zero witnesses over the course of the trial. let's take you to pittsburgh and danny freeman. walk us through what happened today. >> reporter: you said it. 11 days of testimony so far. 60 witnesses, and now the defense and prosecution rested just after 1:30 this afternoon. in the end, as you said, the defense didn't call a single

witness. this case has been about 50-year-old robert bauer, accused of killing 11 worshippers. the bulk of the testimony has been about the impact of those actions and nothing has bank as impactful as seeing andrea wedner take the stand. her mother rose did not survive. she described on the stand that she and her mother hid together, holding each other in a pew in the synagogue. they were ultimately both shot. andrea testified that she knew that her mom was going to die at that moment. she was terrified but still stayed with her mother because she was determined not to leave rose malinger alone. she said a few thoughts ran through her mind as the shooter was walking through the hall. she said, she thought, i have a 2-year-old granddaughter. will i ever be able to watch her

grow up? my daughter was about to be married in march of 2019. would i be alongside my husband to walk her down the aisle? would i love my arm? would i lose my hand? would i be able to work again? would i live or would i die? xi did survive. police were able to come in and rescue her. just an example of the intense and emotional testimony we've heard. it's not over yet. tomorrow morning we're expecting to hear closing arguments from both the prosecution and the defense. then the case will head to the jury. again, this is just about guilt at this point. only after that we will go on to the death penalty phase if robert bowers is convicted of these charges. that could take weeks after that. back to you. >> so difficult to listen to that testimony. danny freeman live in pittsburgh, thank you. the southern baptist church which serves 14 million members has affirmed that women are not allowed to lead a congregation. this is the largest protestant denomination in the united states. it voted to uphold the expulsion

of two of its churches for having female pastors. one of those was one of the nation's largest congregations. jake tapper is with us now. we're going to be taking a look at this story as well. this is a big deal, and also one of the congregations they expelled was a church in kentucky that had a female pastor for more than three decades. >> one of the things that pastor rick warren that you mentioned asked the denomination, the convention to do, is to allow autonomy. we don't all interpret scripture the same way. let us allow the churches to do what they want in terms of whether or not they allow female pastors. this is also the same point made by the reverend linda barnes papa who told the "wall street journal," we don't interpret the

scripture the same way, but we believe the bible allows women to serve in ways where we might not all agree but should be able to partner together. it also comes at a time that we should note, not only the southern baptist convention, but many faiths are experiencing a decline in worshippers. and some people think the way you fix that is by expanding opportunities for groups that are not -- have not been traditionally represented in the leadership of churches, such as women. >> i was surprised by this as well. i grew up about five miles from saddle back church. this is not a liberal church. this is a pretty conservative church. >> right, but within the spectrum of the southern baptist convention, you're comparing the church to all denominations and all federal investigators and all politics. within the spectrum of the southern baptist convention it's

probably more on the priviogrese side. there's freedom of religion in this country and you're allowed to only have male pastors if that's what you want. these two churches yesterday were ejected. i should note the vote wasn't particularly close. it was an overwhelming landslide to eject both of these churches from the congregation. >> why now after so much time? >> it came to a head. there's been a lot of debate back and forth about why -- whether or not all these other churches should be allowed to do what they're doing. look, very conservative voices in this country i think are finding new strength these days. people are speaking out more in their strong conservative beliefs. i think that's one of the things going on. >> an indicator of something larger that we're seeing happening. jake, thank you so much. be sure to catch "the lead" at the top of the hour. we'll be watching for more on that. >> thank you so much. >> boris. plenty more ahead including

new national wildfire outlook shows the wildfire risk isn't disappearing. it is shifting. the hot spots to watch are going to be along the northern edge of the country, and in alaska, places that we don't normally expect to see an elevated risk of fire. cnn chief climate correspondent bill weir joins us now. bill, what is behind this shift? >> it is drought, boris. things are really dry in upper midwest, in the northeast, and in parts of alaska and the pacific northwest as well. we saw what tinder dry canada can do once a few lightning strikes hit and the smoke storms come down the east coast last week. now officials are saying we have to look out for places we don't normally worry about. minnesota had so many fires, wildfires, they reached out for mutual aid to the neighboring midwestern states and they said we're busy we're fighting our own fires. in delaware, rhode island, they had threats of wildfires. two right in a row in places

that you normally don't think about in these areas right now. and so, it is a shift, too much water in some places, not enough in others, and not enough moisture, not enough snow packs in the winters right now stressing our forests. >> and, bill, researchers usually say that where there is forest, there is the risk for wildfire. there is an insect that is also making things more difficult, right? >> that's exactly right. there is a spruce bud worm, kind of defoliating sap-filled soft wood trees, making them into kindling over time. there is also bark beetles and tent caterpillars. this goes back to the winters. if the winter isn't cold enough to kill off these pests, then the trees have to suffer season after season, getting nibbled on in this way and making them all the more vulnerable, just one way things are changing. you see the same thing happening with maple syrup production. maple trees need a certain -- needed to be freezing and then thawing on the same day and those days are going away.

so the maple range is moving further and further north into canada. another sign of our changing planet, boris. >> yeah, the delicate balance of mother nature, just thrown off in so many unexpected ways. bill weir, thanks so much for the reporting. brianna? ahead and i sincerely apologize for the next story, cannibalistic crickets are currently invading a nevada town and we're going to take you there right after this. sleep more deeply. and wake up rejuvenated. purple mattress's exclusive gel flex grid draws away heat, relieves pressure, and instantly adapts. sleep better, live purple. visit purple.com or a matattress store near you.
