passengers would have about four days' worth of air. >> the ocean is around 13,000 feet deep at this site. the u.s. and the canadian coast guards have been using planes and ships and buoys with sonar to search for any signs of submersible. the commander overseeing the operation says they have scoured an area roughly the size of connecticut. they did that overnight. this was a tourist sightseeing expedition that cost a quarter million dollars a seat. it included a british explorer, a pakistani businessman and the family of a french diver was also on the submersible. joining us on the phone is the rear admiral john mauger overseeing the search and rescue operations. thank you very much for being with us. at this moment are you hopeful, are you optimistic that these five people will be found alive and you will be able to bring

them to the surface? >> good morning, poppy. our thoughts as we continue on with this search are with the crew members and their families right now. if there is any chance, we are going to work as hard as we can to make sure that we can locate that submersible. so we have been working through the night with a group of partners to bring all capabilities to bear looking on both surface and now expanding to a subsurface seven in the area. >> you searched an area the size of connecticut. are you expanding to that to a wider part of the ocean? >> we are expanding our capabilities on site. and so while a lot of the seven to date has been primarily focused on the surface of the water and our aircraft flew patterns in combination with canadian aircraft and new york

air national guard flew patterns roughly the size the state of connecticut. today we have underwater seven capability on scene and so we are going to be using that to see if we can locate the submersible in the water. >> what was the last time there was any contact with the submersible? >> we understand from ocean gate expedition that the last time that they were in contact with the submersible was about an hour and 45 minutes into the dive on sunday. >> you told nbc news this morning that the company oceangate expeditions is actually leading the seven. that was surprising to hear. is that correct? if so, can you explain why? >> sure. in my lead planner for the coast guard goes by the title of the sar mission coordination, search and rescue mission coordinator. we don't have all the

capabilities within the coast guard to effect a seven in this area.arch in this area. it's part of a unified command. i met with members of the unified command last night, including the u.s. navy, canadian coast guard, canadian armed folks and oceangate expeditions. and in this case, oceangate expeditions knows the site. they know where their submersible was operating. and so they are setting priorities for the diving for the rov that's on site. >> we know the identity four of the five passengers onboard. can you confirm the identity of the fifth? >> i am not confirming the identity of any of the personnel onboard at this point. you know, again, our thoughts are with the family members and the crew members involved here.

and so we want to respect their privacy as we continue on with the search. we are focused on the search efforts and trying to locate the submersible. >> if you are able, or anyone on these teams is able to locate the submersible, what is the plan to bring it to the surface? >> all of our efforts right now are focused on the search and locating of the submersible. within the unified command we have technical experts that are working to understand what types of casualties or what types of issues might have caused the submersible to lose contact and deviate from the dive plan. so we are working through that. >> can you get oxygen into it before you would bring it to the surface. >> poppy, at this point we are focused on the search aspect of this and we are bringing those technical experts to understand

what kinds of capabilities may be needed and getting those capabilities to the site. >> coast guard rear admiral john mauger, thank you very much. good luck from all of us to all of you and the teams. >> thank you, poppy. >> what's it like being inside that vessel? cbs report from last year gave us a look. >> inside the sub has about as much room as a minivan. >> this is not your grandfather's submersible. we have one button. that's it. >> it should be like an elevator. >> we can use these off the shelf components. >> i get these from camper world. we run it with this game controller. >> come on! >> it seems quaint in the story in the way it was presented, b but now knowing you have five people there and just maybe two days' worth of air left, it's not as laughable. let's go to dave cohen, who was onboard this submersible in

2018. dave, give us some context of the space, the size. you're there. imagine you and four others. what can you tell us from being inside it? >> victor, to be clear,is was onboard above ground or on the surface. not in water. but i did several stories on oceangate during my time reporting in seattle. in 2018 i did that story that you are seeing on titan, this submersible that's now missing. we went to oceangate headquarters in everitt, washington, we sinterviewed the crew and sat inside the vessel. what struck me, what you saw in that cbs report, was how simple some of the technology seemed. it is this tiny vessel. it's very cramped. it's small. it only fits five people onboard and it's operating, as you saw, operated as you saw by a gaming controller. what looks like a playstation controller. yet the company was confident

that this vessel could safely make this remarkable journey, could dive 13,000 feet into the ocean and handle 150 million pounds of pressure at the ocean floor. the company's ceo stockton rush told me that the pressure vessel, that it's a carbon fiber structure of titan could handle that pressure no problem, that they had not cut corners when it came to costs or when it came to safety. in fact, in all of my interviews, every oceangate crew member, including the ceo, talked about safety and talked about how confident they were in this technology. they said they worked with nasa and boeing to design titan. that said, we learned that titan had some communication issues in the past, they lost communication with support crew on expeditions before that cbs news report indicated that last year the vessel was lost for more than 2 1/2 hours unable to

get messages from the surface, which this he rely on out in ocean to figure out where there is going because there is no gps onboard. >> i am glad you brought up that fact, it has gotten lost before. here is that part of the cbs reporting. >> reporter: there is no gps underwater. so the surface ship is supposed to guide the sub to the shipwreck by sending text messages. >> 30 degrees right. >> probably. >> reporter: on this dive, communications somehow broke down. the sub never found the wreck. >> we were lost. we were lost for 2 1/2 hours. >> reporter: he says he will offer those passengers a free do over next year. >> do you know from your reporting if it was any backstop for a situation like that? got lost? >> well, that's what we're trying to figure out right now. we have reached out to oceangate trying to figure out what safety precautions were put in place, what sort of mechanisms to be

able to reach support crews or first responders in the case of -- in case the vessel got lost. at this point we really don't know what newer tools might have been put in place or what sort of emergency beacon might be onboard. we have not heard about anything like that. again we are trying to get that information from oceangate and at this point they haven't said. >> if we were talking about a plane or a ship, we'd search for regulation. we had search for numbers records. we search for oversight evidence. i want to put up on the screen what the company says on their website about certifications and regulation. it's pretty broad here. they say by definition innovation is outside of an already accepted system. however, this does not mean that oceangate does not meet standards where they are applied, but it means that innovation often falls outside of existing industry paradigms. so, gabe, you know not just the vessel, but the company, are they subject to government

oversight, to inspections, to regulation? what do you know? >> well, we are looking into that right now. but as you mentioned, you know, the company really stressed that as far as they see it, regulation hasn't caught up with innovation and they said their vessels are not classed as they put it. but we really don't know and we are trying to dig up what sort of regulation there might be on an underwater vessel the way there would be on an airplane, something flying into space. so those are answers we are currently looking for. >> gape cohen, thank you for your unique perspective. tv really informs your reporting on this because you have been inside one of these. french police raiding the headquarters of the paris 2024 games organizing committee. investigators tell cnn this? tied to an investigation into alleged embezzlement and corruption. melissa bell is live in paris. stunning allegations here. what are you learning?

>> reporter: pretty dramatic. they took place across several sites in paris this morning. we learned the 2022 paris organizations committee says it is cooperating fully with investigators. two different investigations. one that was launched in 2017 looking at the investigating committee looking at allegations of embezzlement of public funds, favoritism when it comes to awarding of contracts. the second investigation is targeting the company, the public company that is responsible for the construction, infrastructure work here in the french capital ahead of those games and it also is looking at allegations launched in 2022 of favoritism when it comes to the awarding of contracts and that sort of thing. so pretty serious allegations. we don't know yet what exactly they are looking for. this happens within the framework of those investigations. these raids quite common of course. they if in without announcing

they are coming in and hope of finding the documents they are looking for. with a year to go for the start of the games keenly anticipated here in france, not what the organizing committee would have been hoping for. the french olympic champion at the helm of the committee said at the start he intended for these to be exemplary games for the time being. that is not off to a terribly auspicious start. >> melissa bell in paris, thank you. as new reporting from "the washington post" on why the fbi held back on investigating trump's role in the january 6th insurrection for more than a year. plus, former president trump offering up a new reason for why he didn't hands over those classified documents. >> why not just hand them over then? >> because i had boxes. i want to go through the boxes and get my personal things out. i don't want to hand that over to them. i was busy, as you have sort of seen.

washington with morning. let's begin with the interview. if you're any defense lawyer in america watching right now, you are thinking, oh my gosh, why is he talking? but he is. >> reporter: yeah. so there is a reason why defendants are warned that anything that they say after their arrest can be used against them in a court of law. we will have to see what the justice department does with these sorts of comments from donald trump, but i don't know any defense attorney who would say that this offers a valid explanation for why donald trump had these boxes and didn't respond fully the subpoena, keeping many, many classified records in his possession after the national archives and the justice department and the grand jury sought them back. when he was asked about that subpoena on fox news last night by bret baier and why he wasn't handing them over right away,

here's what trump said to that. >> why not hand them over then? >> i had boxes. i want to go through the boxes and get my personal things out. i don't want to hand that over to nara yet. i was busy, as you have sort of seen. >> reporter: he has the boxes, he is saying, he knew he had them, he is saying that. he wanted to see them, wanted them moved and he wasn't ready to respond to the subpoena n immediately by the sed line. that is part of the allegations charge inside this case, that he knowingly retained box and tried to obstruct the investigation, refusing to hand them over/under the subpoena demands. so that all is going very likely part of this case. another thing trump says that is quite interesting is that he says he wanted to determine what was personal versus not personal. that's supposed to be done well before this period of time after -- before he is leaving the white house. >> the special counsel has the

documents investigation also the january 6th investigation and there is new reporting from "the washington post" about why the fbi waited more than a year to investigate trump for his role in the 1/6 capitol attack. why? >> reporter: some of the timeline is fuzz zbri here. what we know is that "the washington post" is shed 14ing light on some services taking place soon after the capitol attack in january of 2021. soon after that capitol attack there apparently was had very strong interest to go hard for people at the very top. now, the justice department ultimately decided to take a different approach, essentially, to this investigation. not one that barred them from looking at trump, but one that would work its way up the ladder, right. so start with the hundreds of rioters they knew they needed to be prosecuting, possible financial crimes, support of rioters in political circles, they did that early, and then as they continued working we know

now in including just a year after riot that the justice department was looking into the fake electors, people in political circles that were trying to keep donald trump in power. and so there is a lot of hindsight here, the potential that people now will say we didn't start early enough within the justice department looking at donald trump and make no mistake. donald trump is being investigated related to january 6th and that investigation has moved extremely fast in the way that investigations tend to move. >> thank you very much for the reporting from washington. let's bring in cnn senior political analyst and anchor john avlon and former federal prosecutor elie hoenig. elie, let me start with you. often we have seen that the argument in front of the cameras for donald trump is not the same argument made in the courtroom. he is not under oath with bret baier. how much does this jeopardize, damage potential will i the defense? >> it's bad news for donald

trump. he is not under oath but that is admissible in court. absolutely. prosecutors can play that clip. and if we look at what he said last night, it's an admission. it's an excuse wrapped up within an admission. if you are a prosecutor you say wonderful. now the following things are admitted and undisputed. he knew the documents were there. we knew that already. here he nice and cleanly sort of admits it. he knew what was in the documents. he went through them with his own hands. he knew they contained classified and national defense information. all of that is potentially in play at a trial. all of that has been admitted. the excuse also just doesn't measure up. he had two and a half years. you don't get the prerogative of casually going through this, especially when there is a subpoena. >> you don't get to say i am to too busy to comply with your subpoena. that doesn't fly, even for a former president. >> i thought one of the things that was so striking in the interview that bret baier did, i think it was an important interview, fact-checking in real time, all of it, he listed off

all of the people that trump hired who have turned on him, who he says now are terrible, he listed off all of these people who are no longer allies of the president. it was notable in the political aspect, but i under wonder in the legal aspect of all of this how significant it is that all of these people around the president during this critical time have turned on him. >> i am so glad you raise that because i thits it's keir to sort of piercing the veil around donald trump. he always, you know, hire only the best people. then listed all the people of his cabinet who are running against him, warning explicitly he cannot be president, he should not be president, he cannot be -- >> mike pompeo, on and on. >> the whole list. and bill barr has an op-ed in the free press which lays out to trump supporters why this is b.s. you know, why trump's defenses are b.s. at some point you wonder at what

point will his supporter, hard-core supporters deeply invested in their own ego in donald trump's lies, which i think you could objectively call them that, the people who knew trump best are warning he is a threat to national security, warning he is not telling them the truth, they are being treated as marks and dupes and fools, at what point that will sink in. that's part of the absence of character witnesses, the people who knew trump best saying he is unqualified as a matter of character to be president. >> it's dynamic that plays out at trials. the witnesses are usually people who knew or worked with or for person. so we are going to see that here. when people testify in mar-a-lago perhaps some day in another case, trump will say they are no good, they are liars, they have bad motives. they are here tell the truth.

>> let's move to "the washington post" reporting. and the reporting that doj didn't actively investigate january 6th for 15 months and i think the overall narrative was they were concerned about the optics, that they didn't want to seem partisan because there was the resident duft russia investigation, of clinton emails. your assessment of what you read? >> it's a failure by the justice department. they are making up for lost time now. yes, the pace of this investigation has picked up markedly especially since jack smith took over. but we discussed it at the time for the first year and a half doj was allergic, cat gore scli allergic to looking at the power sources. they did and have to go after the people who stormed the capitol but those are not either/or propositions. doj has literally 10,000 federal prosecutors. they should have aimed at the people who stormed the capitol and aimed high right away. >> there was a real cost not -- for doj of not getting to the

witnesses first in terms of -- and what is so interesting about "the washington post" reporting is that it says that they really for fear of looking political didn't go directly after if tpp former president and his closest allies because of that. >> it shows this is the opposite of a witch hunt. it's about due process and the concern about the appearance of impropriety. a lot of times this has been sort of the boy scouts versus mob bosses, people willing to do anything and other people trying to uphold not only the law but being allergic to the appearance of impropriety. this information came to a head and now we will see. the seditious conspiracy charges are very hard. we will see where whether that gets taken. it goes show -- >> what additional steps? >> whether trump is indicted for, you know, inciting january 6th. >> yeah. >> as many of the people if

their defense who have been charged with seditious conspiracy -- >> point the to. >>. this is about the rule of law. and people inside the organizations who are deeply concerned about the appearance of being political and you are reluctant to take the step. if we take the step, it will be because the facts demand it. >> almost an atlnti-witch hunt. they were so reluctant that they refused to think about trump until a year and a half later. >> 21 months until director wray got his first briefing on the investigation. john, elie, thank you. we are following this urgent search for a missing submersible headed to the titanic wreckage. we will be joined by a friend of one of the five people inside that vessel. plus the cricket infestation in nevada. >> ew! >> yeah, it will make your skin crawl.

a master interagency search underway for the titan vessel, the tourist sub with five people onboard that disappeared to view the titanic. one was british billionaire and explorer hamish harding, he owns action aviation. he was also aboard blue origins' june 2022 space launch. joining us to discuss is friend. as we watch the clock, i can only imagine what you are feeling. tell us about hamish. what d do we need to know about him? >> hamish is larger than life. he lives exploration. he is an explorer to the core of his soul. he has been to the bottom of planet earth in the mariana trench, in space.

we circumnavigated the world together and set the world speed record. he has been to the south pole and the north pole and now recently the titanic. >> i know he inspired your exploration career, right? >> hamish was the one who believed in me and gave me the opportunity to be a commercial payload specialist on the flight mission. we were a eight-man crew of offiaters, cosmonauts, and i was the only civilian. >> we were talking about how we would feel waiting there. but hamish, you describe him as an explorer, right? he knows the risks there. what do you imagine he is feeling, that he is prepared for this moment as crews are searching for him? >> hamish is an inspiration. he has taught me a lot in exploration. he will be calm and collected. he will work through the

emergency procedures together with the crew. he also an experienced submersible pilot from going down to the mariana trench with victor. so he will be a valuable asset to the crew and helping motivate the crew azle well if morale is low. >> one of the things that hamish posted on facebook before he wept is about the weather situation and just sort of how it's been all year and he said due to the worst winter in newfoundland in 40 years, it's likely to be the first and only manned mission to the titanic in 2022. since you know him so well, he doesn't sound like someone who would have taken this if there were bad weather, if he had any hesitation. is that right? >> hamish would have taken the risk. there are many times you go place and the weather prevents you from achieving your goal. this was actually a lucky weather window and the opportunity was clear and i believe the staff saw it as

safe. i don't think we are facing a weather issue. >> i think maybe it's a mechanical issue. >> what is your biggest concern? >> my biggest concern is that hamish and the rest of the crew aboard the titanic are trapped in a metal can at the bottom of the ocean where the atmospheric pressure is 400 times that of here at ground level. there is no way we could possibly have a manned rescue at that sort of depth. my fear is that they cannot self-rescue and appear to the surface by themselves. >> because of the conditions that deep. we just asked the rear admiral of the coast guard who is leading this search what's the plan if you find it, and he essentially said we are not there yet. is there any way you know of that something this deep could

be brought to the surface if you can't do a manned rescue? >> so this submersible, as i understood it from what hamish told me, it is a self-rescue vessel. it is built with seven different systems of unloading its balance assists so it with can drop weight and ascend to the surface by itself. the only way it couldn't do that is if it was trapped. for instance, in the wreck of titanic or maybe as something as simple as a fishing net. i hope it's something simple so they could rescue them and, therefore, they would be able to self-rescue in a sense on their own. >> sounds like you spoke with hamish specifically about this exploration, this trip. did he express any concern about safety? >> we did not speak about this trip because it was seen as a smaller expedition. the mariana trench we went through in detail.

that is an eight-hour ascend and eight-hour descent. it is far nor dangerous. his space exploration as well, the rocket blew up on the platform on the next launch. the titanic doesn't seem anywhere near as dangerous. so we had only gone through the submersible of the mariana trench dive in great detail and the same rules there apply for the titanic dive. >> you helped us understand this so much better, but also helped us get to know your very good friend hamish as well. we all nope to be able to hear from him very soon. we are hoping for the best, and thank you. happening today, especially counsel john dur am will meet behind closed doors with the house intel committee after last month reporting suggesting the fbi should not have launch add full probe into the trump campaign and russia. we will discuss the significance ahead. before break, nasa's spacecraft captured a stunning

happening today, special counsel john durham meets with members of the house intelligence committee behind closed doors. comes after his report was released earlier this month arguing the fbi should never launched a full investigation into connections between the trump campaign and russia during the 2016 election. zachary joins us now. great to have you. you know this inside and out, this report was years in the making. now he is going to talk to the house intel committee before he speaks publicly about it? >> yeah, that's right. it's important to remember that

john durham was appointed by trump's then-attorney general four years ago to investigate the origins of the russia investigation. last month he put out this report that was really critical of the fbi. but it wasn't really full of the bombshells that republicans and trump himself have been promising while the investigation was ongoing. today it the first opportunity that lawmakers are going to have to sit down with durham and discuss his report as well as a classified appendix. this meeting is happening behind closed. the chairman mike turner told some reporters the other day he wants to go through some possible recommendations for reforming the fbi with durham today. it will be interesting to see what democrats want to ask durham given the two very different interpretations of his report. but, yes, the first time that lawmakers are really going to have to question durham directly since he put out his report. >> he is scheduled to testify publicly tomorrow. what is the influence of what happens today on that public testimony on wednesday? >> the house intelligence committee has been preaching

bipartisanship since they forms the house judiciary committee which durham testifies in front of tomorrow is a little bit more politicized led by chairman jim jordan, a key ally for former president trump in going -- basically trying to relitigate his investigations, investigate the investigators. potentially political fireworks tomorrow when he testifies publicly. >> zach which, thank you very much for the reporting. tropical storm bret, the second named storm of this early atlantic hurricane season is churning in the atlantic with maximum sustained winds at 40 miles per hour. it can could could become a hurricane tomorrow as it pushes closer to the windward islands. third week of june, this is early? >> yeah, this is not your average season. this is not your average satellite loop you would normally see in the middle of june. this is something we would see, say, august and september closing in on the peak hurricane

season. we have got not only tropical storm bret, which you can see there. another disturbance waiting behind it. that's expected it to develop in the coming hours and days as well. let's focus on the immediate threat, tropical storm bret, 40 miles per hour wind. you can see the disturbance behind brett curves to the north. we will focus to on bret towards the windward islands. the water temperatures are running 3 to 5 degrees above average. you see that shading of orange. because the water temperatures are so warm, we see this early season development. hence, the not so typical start to the hurricane season. national hurricane center has this becoming a minimal category 1 hurricane by thursday morning. then you notice some weakening in this storm system because it's going to be forced into a lot of sheer and dry air. what that's going do is help kind of destrengthen the storm the second half of the workweek. it will still pose a threat to the ian caribbean going forward.

a lot of us that saw that 20%, with a lot of other polls, 15%, 20%, were surprised how high it was. so, i think it's important to understand why his support is that high. i've broken this down, this is the top choices for democratic nominee. we'll look at those and approve of those who have a favorable view of president joe biden. look at this, it's not a close race here. joe biden gets 73% of those voters. kennedy gets just 12%. but look at other dem voters. those who oates don't approve of joe biden or don't have a favorable view of him. this is where kennedy's support really comes into focus. look at this. he actually leading joe biden in this group to 40% to joe biden's 24%. the fact is kennedy's support is overwhelmingly for those who either don't like biden or don't approve of him. >> to get over that 20%, he's got to win over some of these people here? >> that's exactly right. that, to me is going to be very,

very difficult. because take a look at this, democratic voters like joe biden, 79% approve of the job he's doing as president. 78% have a favorable view of him. all of a sudden, he's going to have to start winning voters that he isn't winning right now. you know what here's the real issue. look here. look at news of robert f. kennedy jr., wrong democrats, favorable reading 29%, unfavorable, 39%. where kennedy's base really is in the other party. favorable, 40%, unfavorable, 18%. the fact is, he's picking up a lot of voters who don't like joe biden right now but they make up a small portion of the democratic electorate. >> harry enten, thank you. cnn has learned that former president trump's trial with the mar-a-lago documents has an initial date in mid-august. that date will likely change.
