i'm max foster. bianca is off this week. just ahead -- >> there is no crime. it is not a crime. >> to actually hear the former president's words and to hear the tone of this conversation i think is what could be potentially really damaging to trump. >> it bolsters claim under the espionage act and the obstruction case. >> vladimir putin has broken his silence. >> putin has no one to blame but himself for what occurred in russia. >> he is furious. he has been unmasked like the wizard of oz when the curtain is draped back. >> live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is tuesday, june 27, 4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast and we begin with that new audio

recording obtained by cnn in which former president trump is heard describing secret pentagon documents to staffers at his new jersey home in 2021. the tape which is likely a key piece of evidence in the classified documents indictment against trump undercuts his claims that he didn't keep any classified documents after leaving the white house. take a listen. >> these are bad sick people. >> that was your clue, you know, against you. >> it started right -- >> when milley is talking about that we'll try to -- no, they were trying to do that before you were even sworn in. trying to overthrow your -- >> well, with milley, i'll show you an example. he said that i wanted to attack iran. isn't it amazing how -- this just came up. look. this was him. they presented me this, this is off the record, but they presented me this. this was him.

this was the defense department and him. >> wow. >> we looked at -- this was him. it wasn't done by me, it was him. all sorts of stuff. pages long. >> yeah. >> isn't that amazing? this totally wins my case, you know, except it is highly confidential, secret, this is secretive. but look at this. you talk and -- >> hillary would print that out all the time. >> and send it to anthony weiner. by the way, isn't that incredible? as we were talking about it, as he said he wanted to attack iran and -- >> but he said you did. >> this was done by the military given to me. i think that we can probably -- >> we'll have to see, you know.

we'll have to try to -- >> declassify it. as president i could de clclass it, but no i can't. >> yeah, we have a problem. >> isn't that interesting? so cool. and you probably almost didn't believe me, but now you believe me. >> no, i believe you. >> this is incredible. bring some cokes in, please. >> and that contradicts what the president has been saying to his supporters and the media. >> there was no document. that was a massive amount of papers and everything else talking aboutabout iran and oth things. and it may have been held up or may not, but that was not a document. i didn't have a document per se. these were newspaper stories, magazine stories and articles. >> did you ever show those classified documents to anyone? >> not really. i would have the right to. by the way, they were -- >> what do you mean not really? >> not that i can think of.

>> earlier this month trump pleaded not guilty to 37 federal counts. and paula reid breaks down what we just heard the former president say and why it is so remarkable. >> reporter: this recording is from the summer of 2021 at trump's bedminster golf club. he is speaking to two people working on an autobiography for mark meadows and he knew that he was being recorded. his own aides were making a recording of the meeting. and in addition the folks working on that autobiography. but even thoe, hugh, he was surprisingly casual when talking about some of our nation's most sensitive secrets. he admits that the information that he is sharing with others in the room who do not have proper clearance or any clearance at all, he acknowledges that this is classified information, that he could have declassified it when

he was in the white house, but that he no longer had the power to do so. now in public the former president has repeatedly said that he didn't have these documents, that it is not actually that document that he is referring to in this tape. but one interesting quote that you can hear on the cnn version of the tape that was not included in the indictment is that the former president said these are those papers. so he is insisting that whatever he appears to be showing people in the room are the papers that he alleges will vindicate him in terms of mark milley's comments about iran. now, this tape is expected to be a central piece of evidence for the special counsel. another aspect of the tape that was not included in the indictment is former president trump and one of his staffers knocking hillary clinton for her use of a private email server. that of course is not pertinent to the criminal case, but in the

court of public opinion, it does appear to be uberous. paula reid, cnn. >> and implications of the tape could be damning to donald trump. >> i used to have cases where the good defense attorney would ask me do you have tapes. we can now see the difference between this black and white transcript where the words are fathe fairly incriminating. but now you hear the tone, you hear that he means it, he is shuffling papers and that is the most important piece of evidence. this is the moment that prosecutors have donald trump doing something with the documents. not just storing them and moving around mar-a-lago, which could be a crime in itself, but using them to try to influence somebody. so a key piece for prosecutors. >> this evidence issed a misk and i imagine that they would try to challenge on a number of different fronts. i'm not sure where they make

their argument to exclude the evidence, but it is certainly troubling for their defense. it bolsters the government's claim under the espionage act and also under the obstruction act. one thing he's been saying all along is that he can just wave a imagine he can wand and these documents are declassified. and in this instance, in his own words, he is saying it is not declassified. so that is very troubling for him no doubt about it. and you know, the big question will be what comes in at trial. you know, under the classified information procedures act, is this all going to be admissible? probably so. and it will be a big hurdle for them to get over. >> first hearing for trump and the special counsel's office will take place in florida on july 14th. and later today, trump's righthand man walt nauta will appear for his arraignment.

we'll have a report from that later this hour. russian president is speaking out publicly for the first time since the end of a short lived insurrection which rattled his grip on power and threw the country into uncertainty. in comments monday, vladimir putin lashed out at leaders of the wagner mercenary group accusing them of be traitors. and it showed putin meeting with top officials in a show of normality. the mutiny marked the great he is challenge to his rule but he appeared to play down the threat it posed in a nationwide address. >> translator: an armed rebellion would have been suppressed in any case. the organizers of the rebellion despite the loss of adequacy could not fail to understand this. they understood everything. >> his comments are after we first heard from wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin who was last seen on saturday and his whereabouts are still unknown.

prigozhin said that the armed march to moscow was not a move to oust putin but instead a protes >> two factors played into my decision to turn around. first factor, we wanted to avoid a russian blood shed. second is we marched in demonstration of a protest not to overturn the power in the country. >> the russian president alexander lukashenko played a key role and he is still speaking even just now, he is speaking to this, because he argues that he negotiated this deal between prigozhin and the russians? >> yeah, this is something both the kremlin and prigozhin said is that lukashenko negotiated this deal where apparently prigozhin can now take up residence, some kind of exile, perhaps retirement, in belarus. we don't know if he is there yet. and what he has said is that he ordered his army to full combat

readiness. we don't know what to read into that. and he had this to say, he said i won't hide it, it was painful to watch the events that took place in the south of russia, and he said many of our citizens took it close to heartse there is only one fatherland, something that we've heard multiple times emphasizing his closeness, his close ties to russia. you know, he hasn't done what belarus told us to expect, which is that he would answer all the burning questions. crucially he has not said where prigozhin is, if he is still planning to come to belarus and what the plans are for other wagner fighters who according to putin have now got leave if they want to to go to belarus. we presume perhaps to form some kind of new grouping, some kind of wagner 2.0, so we don't know yet. so a lot riding on what lukashenko has to say. >> why would he harbor what he is describing as a threat to the

fatherland? doesn't quite add up, does it? >> i think what we're getting is sort of a separation from what putin calls the organizers of the rebellion referring presumably to prigozhin himself and the wagner fighters which pretty much everyone we've heard from have been at pains to emphasize their heroic deeds in ukraine, heroism overall. so i think that wagner perhaps fighters are being separated from their leadership. there is some thinking in russia that perhaps they don't want to diswanband the grouping because they have been so effective and in the worlds of one russian politician would be a gift to the ukrainians and nato. but we don't know. i think that is one of the burning questions, what will happen to wagner. they have been instrumental in russia's efforts in ukraine. and i think that that is something that has to be closely watched and why we continue to watch whether we get anything from lukashenko on this. >> and he is the junior -- i

mean, people describe him as putin's puppet. is that fair to say or is he respected by putin as someone at his level in another country? >> i think that belarus essentially functions as a subsidiaryutin can use it for w means he chooses. t they have been holding joint military exercises, joint training. and putting nuclear weapons in the territory of belarus. and i think what is happening now, although it was like many amounts of what happened over the weekend surprising. because this is an extension of the vessel relationship that belarus has with russia. >> and a quick word on putin's appearance last night. he didn't mention prigozhin. and there is this irony that he

is not being punished. some people say that he will be you been punished down the line, but he is not being charged with anything. >> no, i mean, i think -- what we did get from the speech from putin last night which is a turnaround given the previous relationship is that putin now does see him as a threat and enemy. he didn't mention him by name. that is significant. you never hear navalny's name out of his mouth. but he says that he is grateful for the heroism of the wagner fighter, but he sees organizenerses of the rebellion of the country. and so on the flip side, much less clear that prigozhin sees putin as an enemy. he was at pains to stress this was not an attempted coup, but he was simply trying to protest and prevent the destruction of the wagner group. >> all right.

la clare, thank you. turns out u.s. intelligence may have known more than previously thought. the u.s. was able to gather an accurate picture of yevgeny prig prigozhin's plans but only shared with select allies. some nato officials expressed frustration that they were not in the loop. but u.s. officials say they didn't want to risk compromising the sources and methods. and they are still watching what they say. president biden spoke with top aides on monday and publicly he is emphasizing the united states had no involvement at all. jeremy diamond has more. >> reporter: the white house is continuing to monitor very closely the fallout from the attempted insurrection in russia over the weekend. officials very clear that we don't yet know exactly what is going to happen next. or what the impact will be on the wagner group, on the russian war in ukraine or most importantly on the future of

putin's hold on power inside of russia. the secretary of state antony blinken on sunday saying that it was clear that this insurrection revealed cracks in his regime. but asked what the impact would be on putin, whether putin has been weakened, john kirby just wouldn't go there. it was one of a number of questions that kirby refused to answer. and it speaks to how cautious u.s. officials and particularly the white house is being in commenting on the record about this situation. they wouldn't even label whether this was an insurrection, an attempted coup. and part of that is because of the fast moving nature of the events. another part of it is because of what we saw as this was all unfolding. the white house trying to avoid the perception that the west is somehow weighing in here. we heard president biden on monday talk about that strategy. >> gave putin no excuse to blame this on the west or to blame it on nato. we made clear that we were not involved.

we had nothing to do with it. this was part of a struggle within the russian system. >> reporter: putin didn't directly blame the west, just being an outcome that the west had been seeking or wanted to see. which is notable given how often putin has blamed the west for events in russia or inside ukraine. president biden for his part, he is continuing to coordinate closely with allies, he is expected to speak with volodymyr zelenskyy. and on tuesday the white house is expected to announce $500 million of additional security assistance for ukraine. now, that is intentional, an important message that this white house wants to send, that regardless of what happens in russia, regardless of what happens in moscow, the u.s. will continue to support ukraine against the russian invasion. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white

house. now nearly 45 million people are under heat alerts in the southern u.s. as the heatwave is set to intensify. the texas cities of san angelo and del rio both set daily high temperature records again on monday. for del rio, that is the ninth consecutive record-setting day. the triple digit temperatures are set to spread into oklahoma and louisiana today. could feel like 120 farenheit in new orleans. in arkansas, the governor has declared a state of emergency after storms left more than 40,000 people without por. the governor huckabee says that they will free uurces to help crews get the lines up and running ag and there is a-on impact on the thousands of flights in the southeast and oh valley. moore than 10,000 flights were cancele threed. uniteds has the most heavily impacted system with 6% of its

flights canceled. already today more than 1400 flights have been delayed or canceled. to spend or not to spend? how americans are feeling about the economy with the latest report due out today. and remember the line from the movie jaws? you will need a bigger boat? well, an australian kayaker had an extraordinary experience. and ukraine's president praises his troops for major advances in the war against russia. how they are using russia's insurrection to their advantage it seems. can-do mildewy tiles? cacan-do - these? - yup, it's the can-do can. nothing kills more germs on more surfacaces than lysol disinfectant spray.

we're expecting a report on the u.s. economy. analysts are predicting an increase for june. and may's report showed that confidence slipped to a six month low as the white house and congressional republicans were locked in a fight over the debt ceiling. financial markets are looking to rebound. they are currently on their way up at least.

monday dow finished down 11, nasdaq off more than 1% and the s&p 500 lost about half a percent. china's premiere is bullish about his country's economic outlook. he is predicting growth of about 5% for this year, that would be a big improvement over last year's 3% economic growth which fell short of beijing's target. let's go live to anna coren in hong kong. >> reporter: as you say the premier sounding optimistic about the country economy announcing that china's economic growth was projected to be around 5%. this is as the economy is struggling to make the post covid recovery that markets were anticipating after it reopened at the end of last year. as you remember if virtually cut itself off from the rest of the world for almost three years with its harsh covid policies.

and he says growth in the second quarter of this year will be higher than the first and china will roll out more effective policies to open markets. let's take a listen. >> translator: for the whole year we're expected to achieve the target of about 5% economic growth set at the beginning of this year. recently some international organizations and institutions have also raised their forecast for china's economic growth this year. showing their confidence in china's development prospects. >> reporter: but not everyone is showing confidence. there is a long list of major banks and credit rating agencies that have cut fofo and just yesterday, s&p 500 globaled growth forecast from 5.5 to 5.2. and the property sector remain as drag on the economy as developers struggle.

and the debt burden is coming into focus. industrial outputs, retail sales remain sluggish and youth unemployment is at a record 20.8%. and many young people across china feeling disillusioned and anxious about china's economic uncertainty have reported to prayer to pray for divine intervention in securing jobs. analysts do believe that china will need to roll out more stimulus this year. it is just not known what that sort of stimulus will be. max? >> anna coren, thank you. and the weekend rebellion in russia is taking a toll on the country's economy there. the ruble hit its lowest level in nearly 15 months on monday trading about 87 to the u.s. dollar before pairing back some losses. russians scrambled to swap their cash for dollars pushing up the

exchange rate. u.s. is expected to announce a new round of military aid for ukraine as it feit depends off russian troops. it coming up to $500 million. it would include anti-tank weapons and help ukraine make even more gains on the battle field. volodymyr zelenskyy says his troops have advanced in all directions.d head visited soldi the donetsregion and praised them for their efforts. russian forces are now on the defensive and that their main motivation is hold on to the ground that they left. and also russia is focusing on the donetsk region where more than 35 clashes were recovered on monday. nick paton walsh has more on the battles.

>> reporter: the sdchaos has yesterday to ease. close combat around bakhmut two weeks in to the continued grind of the counteroffensive open operations filmed over the weekend just as wagner troops rolled toward moscow. here the red, white and blue are russians in disarray and surrendering. the hope is more will follow as word spreads of the failed rebellion and morale and discipline falter. it was near here that ukraine proclaimed monday progress on the front lines with room for hope elsewhere. to the south another donetsk front near the heavily contested moniker, it appears some fighters were pulled to moscow for its defense for the weekend. here they are strutting along an apparent highway near the capital. bakhmut, an opportunity for ukraine in the east, but also

further west near kherson, this bridge the scene of intense clashes. captured by this russian drone as ukrainian forces claim to cross over to the russian controlled eastern bank. opening another front perhaps. it is too early to tell whether or if russia is crumbling. and ukraine's progress has been incremental still. a familiar scene when they say that they captured another village to the south. but none of this yet the strategic sea change, the weekend madness and hope follows. he faces anxious choices even with all the kremlin's intimate ugliness so exposed. move now or wait for more in moscow to unravel. he must be sure to make no

mistakes of his own or interrupt the torrent of them in moscow. nick paton walsh, cnn, kyiv. and coming up, an aide to donald trump heads to federal later today. what that could mean for the case against the former president. plus a new ruling from the supreme court that could affect the balance of power in congress. unlike some others, neuriva plplus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. toto help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger.

welcome back. let me bring you up-to-date with the top story. russia saysdropping all charges against wagner group and

a private company will hand over its equipment to active units of the armed forces. clare has been looking at all of that. because they stopped the insurrection, they are being let off effectively. >> and this is exactly the comment says, that because the participants in this insurrection stopped the actions that were connected with criminal activity, this is why they are stopping the criminal case. this concerns they say participants in the insurrection and not specific on yevgeny prigozhin, but state media does requote the kremlin spokesperson who said saturday night that the charges against prigozhin would be dropped. they seem to be ignoring a comment that came out on monday from a source close to the prosecutor general's office to state media saying that that investigation against prigozhin is still going on. but it seems the charges will be

dropped again part of a slightly sweeter than expected deal that they are getting out of all of this. wagner now according to state media planning to hand over its heavy equipment, something that prigozhin said in his audio message out on monday that the group had been planning to do so june 30th. expected to sign contracts with the russian ministry of against. and then he instead they launched this insurrection. but now back to plan "a" and going to hand over the heavy equipment. but it is not clear yet. >> clare, thank you. and in a few hours we're expected to see one of donald trump's aides in federal. walt nauta is going to be arraigned. he has not yet entered a plea.

katelyn polantz tells us what to expect. >> the co-defendant will be here in the federal courthouse in downtown miami on tuesday morning to enter a plea of not guilty, that is what is expected to happen. the co-defendant walt nauta is trump's body man, his valet, and he is accused of obstructing justice along side the president after the federal government and justice department demanded had trump return any sqclassified documents. nauta was the person moving those boxes around of classified records throughout mar-a-lago so that the justice department was not able to find them throughout 2021 and 2022. so he appeared beside donald trump in court two weeks ago at the initial arraignment for trump. but walt nauta did not have a lawyer in the state of florida

at that time so he wasn't able to formally enter a plea of not guilty. so that is why he is returning to court tuesday morning. trump himself is not expected to be here, but it is a significant moment in the case because things are already moving toward a trail. both sides are beginning to get information that prosecutors have collected evidence, there is a trial date that the justice department is asking for in december. and in a few weeks in mid-july, there is already a date on the calendar for both the defense teams indicating donald trump and walt nauta and the special counsel's office from the justice department to make their first appearance at a hearing before a federal judge aileen cannon. and at that hearing she will be looking at things related to classified information in the case. but it all starts tuesday morning for walt nauta when he enters a plea of not guilty. and prosecutors in idaho say that they will seek the death

penalty for bryan kohberger, the man accused of killing four students. they say considering all evidence currently known to the state, they are compelled to seek the death penalty. kohberger faces four counts of first degree murder, one count of burglary in the november 13th killings. the penalty phase of the pittsburgh synagogue shooting trial is set to resume in the coming hours. earlier this month robert bowers was foundit i ity guilty of all charges. defense attorneys say that he had mental health problems but prosecutors say that it was carried out with extensive planning. a jury will decide whether he is sentenced to death or life in prison. the u.s. supreme court has cleared the way for the redrawing of the louisiana congressional map to add another majority black district, this after justices reversed plans to

hear the case and lifted on a lower court's order for a restricting map. the move just one of the latest from the court as it prepares to wrap up this session. jessica schneider is in washington with what other decisions may come down to next. >> reporter: we are in the final week of the supreme court with the justices set to release a handful of consequential opinions in the coming days. first, the court will weigh in on affirmative action, they will decide whether colleges and universities can continue to consider race as a factor in the admissions process. affirmative action has been allowed at most schools for more than four decades but many court watchers believe that this conservative court will prohibit the use of race in admissions decisions drastically changing the way students are admitted to schools across the country. and we're waiting on a decision about whether the biden administration can implement its

student loan forgiveness program that will wipe out up to $20,000 for millions before the biden administration did meet a lot of resistance. conservative justices in particular pointed to the hefty price tag it costs, $400 billion, and they also asked if the department of education really has the authority to wipe out debt to more than 40 million people. so we should get a final answer by the end of this week. and also we're waiting for a decision on whether a wedding website designer can refuse to make websites for same sex couples. she says that the law violates her free speech since she only wants to create websites for things that she believes in. and finally the supreme court could decide whether to adopt a controversial election doctrine called the independent state legislature theory. it gives the ultimate authority over federal elections and rules to state lawmakers.

now, this was a theory pushed by trump allies when they tried to overturn the 2020 election and that is why a decision from the supreme court could be so consequential on that. so a lot remaining in the final few day of the term and bwe'll find out more beginning tuesday at 10:00 a.m. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. and new study says that gel drying could cause cancer. mice were exposed to the uv light and it found that 20 minute session says that it led to mice dying. they say that it reaffirms the reason why some have changed the way they get manicures or stopped getting them all together. after facing the first serious threat of his leadership, we'll look back at the long journey that vladimir putin took to seize power in russia.

wildfire smoke that blanketed much of the u.s. east coast has now made it to europe. crossing the atlantic via the jet stream which means that it is now in the upper levels of the atmosphere and should have limited impact on air quality here. but the smoke may have some -- or may make some vivid sunrises and sunsets. it is expected to linger over europe for much of the week. this was montreal on sunday as dozens of forest fires still rage. this is the worst canadian wildfire season on record. and looking at this footage of a curious whale following a kayaker. and nearly 5,000 humpback whales were spotted off the coast of new south wales on sunday. and russian president vladimir putin addressing the nation on monday a little more

than 48 hours after an armed revolt by the wagner group. putin may have agreed to the dede t deal that ended the rebellion, but he showed anger. the revolt considered a significant challenge to his rule. and randi kaye explains how he rose to the top of the kremlin. >> reporter: he is the ultimate al alph alpha male. or he wants the world to believe that. often shirtless, often hunting or taking a submarine down to the deep black sea. he was born in october 1952 in what is now st. petersburg. in 1975, he joined the kgb. in 1999, then president boris

yet zichn appointed him prime minister. >> i found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. >> reporter: putin was reelected in 2004. by 2008, he had reached the term limit under the russian constitution, so he got creative and switched jobs with then dmitry medvedev. so medvedev was elected president and named putin as prime minister. a move that raised questions about how much power medvedev really had. in office medvedev changed the constitution extending presidential terms from four years to six years. before putin was reelected president again in 2012. [ speaking non-english ] ♪ putin has ruled russia for more than two decades and his power is undenile. he escalated the war in chechnya, invaded ukraine and

his government allegedly interfered in the 2016 presidential election though he denied that. he also allegedly had a hand of disposing of critics like a former spy who died weeks after drinking a poisoned laced tea. the kremlin denied his involvement. still putin won his last election in 2018 with more than 76% of the vote. his critics have slammed the election as unfair citing tight control over the media and election monitors. some krcritics say putin has us his reign just to enrich himself. now one of putin's toughest critics -- >> estimate his net worth $200 billion. >> reporter: exact details about his wealth are hard to come by. these photos from inside one of his lavish homes was shared by

an independent russian journalist who left the country. >> he loves gold. and he loves his rich life very much. >> reporter: putin also likes to keep his private life private. but nows of his long time mistress with whom he reportedly has children has made headlines. these are pictures of putin are the former olympic gymnast who is about 30 years younger than putin. she and putin met more than a decade ago but rarely seen together. >> she has a long and rich experience -- >> reporter: despite his fwgripn power now suddenly questioned, he is expected to rule until at least 2024 where at age 71 he will end his fourth presidential term. but he signed legislation in 2021 that would allow him to run for two more terms. which could mean that he may be in office until 2036. randi kaye, cnn. the latest -- or for the

right now on "early start," cnn has obtained the tape of former president trump talking about having secret document that's did not declassify. and just in, russian officials say that they are dropping the insurrection charges againstwagner mercenary group. and a report detailing intelligence failures leading up to the january 6 capitol attack. good tuesday morning. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm christine romans. overnight, cnn has obtained the audio recording of the 202
