temperatures. we have advisories in place there too. records are a possibility in places like rochester where temperatures are reaching nearly 90. on average we should be in the mid-70s. right down into florida, where it feels like factors of 70 plus, well over 100 degrees like naples and back into ft. myers. severe storms a possibility here and that of course fueling the storms. still thunderstorm watches in places for the panhandle of texas back into parts of oklahoma and those will likely expire within the hour. but ramping back up again especially through the afternoon and into the evening hours. watching places like eastern colorado where we have more of that tornado threat and then really ramping up as we move into the overnight hours and early friday. wind and hail some of the big her concerns. >> britley, thank you. "cnn this morning" starts right now.

good morning, everyone. we're glad you're with us. i'm poppy harlow alongside victor blackwell. a dramatic turn of events for the mercy their leader accused of launching a real about an i don't know rebellion. yevgeny prigozhin is back in russia instead of being in exile in belarus. >> this is as state media reports that they raided prigozhin's properties in st. petersburg. the russian government had claimed that it was dropping charges against him. and they say they uncovered stashes of gold, money, wigs and guns and passports allegedly belonging to the mercenary leader. we have team coverage from washington to belarus. let's start with matthew chance in minsk. you spoke with the president and you got an answer to the question that everyone has been

wondering about the whereabouts of prigozhin. >> reporter: yeah, and we were all absolutely shocked by the answer of the leader of belarus, alexander lukashenko. i'm at the palace of independence which is one of lukashenko's main offices in the center of minsk. and he called a few members of the international press around to hold what he said was a conversation about the events that have been unfolding over the course of the past couple weeks or so. and i asked him specifically what could he tell us about wagner, about the mercenary russian group, and about its leader yevgeny prigozhin who he had offered exile in belarus in exchange for them calling off the armed rebellion that they staged in russia last week. take a listen to what lukashenko had to say. >> i wonder if you could provide us all with a bit of an updabou

yevgeny prigozhin. is he in belarus? >> translator: in terms of yevgeny prigozhin, is he in st. petersburg. or maybe this morning he would travel to moscow or elsewhere. but he is not on the territory of belarus now. >> reporter: not on the territory of belarus, which is something that we did not know before this morning. also i asked him about whether wagner forces, the fighters of wagner, had taken up his offer and relocated to belarus as well. that was also part of the deal that lukashenko offered. and he said as yet no wagner fighters have come to belarus and he is not at the moment preparing any facilities to house them. so it all hints at the idea that this deal that was brokered to bring to an end the military uprising in russia last week is being reviewed, programs the kremlin is reviewing it, and

that is backed up by the fact russian tv has new video of a police raid in st. petersburg, the russian city of yevgeny prigozhin's house, and they found extraordinary things there. weapons, cash, gold, passports, some of which said to have multiple identities of yevgeny prigozhin and wig as well presumably for disguise. and it is all really discrediting the wagner leader. and it does imply that there may be some kind of move against him by the russian authorities. i've asked the skkremlin to comment, and when they get back to me, i'll let you know. >> on that point in that conversation, you and others had with lukashenko, he was asked what happens to putin next and he essentially said -- what happens to prigozhin next and he essentially said everything happens in life. but then seemed to say don't worry, putin won't be dumb enough to have him killed.

>> reporter: yes, look, he was pretty noncommittal about what happens to prigozhin. and he said a number of times that he wasn't able to read the future, et cetera, et cetera. but he said look, he does not think that putin at this point would kill yevgeny prigozhin. but the fact that he even mentioned that as a possibility i think led us all to sort of like sit back and sort of take stock of the seriousness of the situation that the wagner leader is now in. you have lukashenko talking about the possibility, playing it down, yes, but talking about the possibility of him being killed by putin. so clearly the indications are that there are moves afoot first of all to discredit the wagner leader possibly in the future to take action against him. but who knows what.

>> matthew, stay with us. let's bring in former moscow bureau chief jill dougherty and also analyst from the "new york times" david sanger. jill, let me start with you. the deal in many respects to save prigozhin's life was that he would then go if if in exile belarus. now that prigozhin is in st. petersburg, was there is a deal, is he going to be prosecuted after this raid? what is your read on this news? >> it is priceless actually. we knew about a week ago when putin said by the way, the russian government has given prigozhin roughly $2 billion and we hope not too much was taken, or kind of an indication, we knew at that point that the other shoe could definitely

drop. and that prigozhin could not necessarily be killed but he could be prosecuted for corruption. and i think that the play is working out exactly like that. this deal is essentially putin's deal with lukashenko playing role of trying to help putin by creating this deal, it doesn't work, and maybe it was never supposed to work. so if prigozhin now is on state television or his department is with money and wigs, et cetera, just an example of the government now putin's government coming up with the proof that prigozhin should be prosecuted. that prigozhin was too dangerous for putin to allow to continue to exist wherever he was. >> david, do you think president lukashenko is telling the truth? >> shockingly we have been misled here. it was president lukashenko who

in late june said that prigozhin was in belarus. u.s. and ukrainian intelligence has said since they don't believe he ever stepped foot in belarus and as we all discussed on this show a week ago, being in belarus wouldn't offer him any protection from being assassinated, attacked from moscow. so that is the first thought. second is that we actually think that along the way prigozhin here has proven himself to be too valuable in many ways to kill as lukashenko suggested, that you don't know how his troops would react and others. so instead what you are seeing is that the russians are systemically dismantlings wagner group, they have been moving some of the assets to other companies friendlier to putin

himself, some are reportedly going to the former gymnast who u.s. intelligence suggest is the mother of several of putin's children. but she also runs something called the national media group. so you are seeing wagner being folded back into government hold which of course is exactly what started this to begin with. >> matthew, back to you. is there any evidence, any indication even from president lukashenko that prigozhin was ever in belarus, does he even make that claim? >> reporter: well, beyond the facts as david said that he said it a week or so ago that prigozhin was in the country, no, there has been no supporting evidence. we haven't managed to verify it. but the fact that he's backtracked now is quite astonishing. but he does make a lot more sense. because one of the most incredible unbelievable things

about the way this whole military up rising ended in russia a week or so ago, was that yevgeny prigozhin who effectively led an uprising against the kremlin was just allowed to walk away into what would have been a relatively comfortable exile as we understood it in belarus. that just felt, you know, unrealistic given what we know about what happens to people who cross putin. they fall out of windows, they get poisoned, they get imprisoned, something negative happens. they don't just walk away from this. and putin was absolutely furious about what happened, about the uprising, about being betrayed by wagner. he spoke about it in terms of treasury. and of course putin made no secret of the fact that treasury is not something that he forgives. >> yeah, one of the questions the last two weeks, why has prigozhin been spared the fate

of alexei navalny, and others who were poisoned after going against putin. matthew, we'll let you get back into this news conference and check back with you as more comes in. and of course all this is happening in the broader context of russia's war in ukraine. new this morning, at least four people are dead after russia unleashed a barrage of missiles on lviv. lviv regional military administration says the attack destroyed more than 30 houses, 250 apartments, an orphanage, two university buildings and a school. ukrainian officials say it is the most devastating attack on civilians in lviv region since the beginning of the war. and they are searching for people trapped under the rubble. lviv is as we now though hunhun -- hundreds of miles away from the frontlines. and we're seeing video of russian fighter jets harassing

u.s. drones over syria, it happened yesterday morning. the pentagon released this footage. the air force says the drones were monitoring isis targets. that is when russian pilots intercepted them flying dangerously close and forcing drones to take evasive action. in a tnatasha better trtrand is. you have russians backing as sad, but the fact that this happened in this manner, how significant? >> that's right. so the u.s. and russia are operating in yet close proximity to each other and the u.s. has seen an uptick in these kind of russian provocations over the region and in the country the last several months. but what happened yesterday morning is that the u.s. was operating three mq-9 drones over syria as part of an anti isis mission. and three russian fighter jets moved to intercept them. correspond to the top commander in charge of air force operations in the middle east, they did so in a very unsafe and

unprofessional manner. what the three russian fighter jets did, and we can see it on video, they got extremely close to these drones and they started releasing parachute flares in front of them essentially in order to block their view. one of the jets also engaged its after burner in front of one of those drones in order to again block its view and force them to take evasive maneuvers. so this is part of a broader pattern that the u.s. has been seeing from russian fighter jets in the region according again to the top commander in the middle east for air force operations. it appears according to him that the russians have actually been trying to get into dogfights with american manned fighter jets operating over syria. so not only trying to harass the drones here, but also trying to harass american fighter jets. of course all of this comes within the broader context of the war in ukraine. u.s. officials are not entirely sure what is causing this uptick in harassment by russian jets

against u.s. aircraft, but they say it is a disturbing pattern and they have called on the russians to act in a professional manner when both are in close proximity in the country. >> in natasha, thank you so mu. david, this also comes just a week after putin being humiliated on the world stage with prigozhin's attempts there. and so i just wonder how you think this factors into this moment for russia. >> the big fear in washington and among president biden's aides has been that the war will expand either mhorizontally or ve vertically. horizontally means beyond the borders of ukraine. and now where u.s. and russia are both operating, we're seeing potential clashes come up. so far fortunately nothing very serious. the attack on lviv is right on the poland border, right near

where poland is helping ship in all of the arms into ukraine. so far the russians have not touched a nato country. but when they do or if they do, that obviously has severe risk of expanding the war. vertically means reaching for nuclear weapons and we've already heard from belarus that they are going to be installing russian nuclear weapons under russian control. we haven't seen evidence that they are ready to go yet. they were supposed to be ready around now and of course in just a week, less than a week, you will see president biden in the region in lithuania at the nato summit. you can't imagine putin will stay quiet for that. >> jill, do you see some residue of the wagner uprising on this, are these -- i'll put lviv and what we're seeing over syria together -- are these face-saving measures for putin? >> well, i think the picture

that -- if you look at this latest thing with prigozhin, it is just an example of the extreme corruption of the putin system. and so that is the way that it works. and the war is now -- everything was controlled by putin. he is the guy who decided to start the war. he is the guy who decided to hire prigozhin in the first place and pay him billions of dollars to carry out -- you could really say dirty deeds that the russian government didn't want to have its fingerprints on. so right now when prigozhin is lost, they are not sure what to do about wagner, the war in ukraine is not going exactly the way that they want, and there are other places that they have trouble. putin is now trying to show that he is in power, that he is stable, that people love him, et cetera. i think on the contrary it is

more unstable in russia and that his regime is more unstable. and that means that there will be a lot more instability everywhere that he is involved. that is ukraine and other -- >> jill, david, thank you both. of course we'll have more on the breaking news, lukashenko saying that prigozhin is in russia, not bel belarus. and ahead, new trump mar-a-lago search warrant details have been released. what we're learning about new surveillance video just as trump's aide walt nauta is set to be arraigned in court hours from now. also the secret service this morning combing through cameras and visitor logs trying to figure out who brought drugs into the white house. a a single strand of mrna... could individualize how we approach cancer.

we are tracking significant developments this morning in two federal probes in to former president trump. in a few hours trump's personal aide walt nauta will plead not guilty in the classified documents case. take a live look at the federal courthouse in miami. this is where this hearing will take place. and it comes after a judge unsealed more of the mar-a-lago search warrant. the previously redacted information reveals the fbi obtained surveillance video of nauta moving dozens of boxes in and out of a storage room before the justice department showed up to retrieve any and all classified documents that trump still had. meantime arizona's former house speaker made big news on cnn

last night about the special counsel's investigation into the other federal probe on 2020 election interference. listen. >> we talked about your call with trump and giuliani as you mentioned there, they were both on that phone call. have you been subpoenaed by the special counsel? >> that is a great question. i'm hesitant to talk about any subpoenas, et cetera, but i have been interviewed by the fbi. >> in the january 6 investigation? -- gus excuse me, in the effort overturn the election results. >> correct. it was four hours of a discussion that they had with me. >> you will recall the former republican house speaker, rusty bowers, refused to bow to intimidation and attempts to get him to back off efforts in the legislature to decertify biden's

2020 victory in arizona. and there he is when he was testifying before the january 6 house select committee about the phone calls he received from rudy giuliani and former president trump. and katelyn polantz has the latest for us. we'll get to that in a moment because that was a significant moment in the interview that kaitlan collins did with him, but first what happens today in the courthouse with walt nauta? >> so this is the mar-a-lago documents case, this charge. donald trump and his co-defendant walt nauta. but walt nauta still has to plead not guilty. it has been about a month since the indictment, but he has had this dragged out for a couple different reasons about couldn't make his last appearance and he also needed to find a florida lawyer. so we're watching whether or not walt nauta shows up in person today, he doesn't absolutely have to. we think he may be there in person. for the first time by himself really in court without donald trump by his side, the man that

he is traveling with quite consistently as his plal aide. and we're also watching to see who shows up as walt thnauts na lawyer. this is the spotlight on him as co-defendant, as that man that was known by the justice department last year before they searched mar-a-lago to be a person who was moving boxes and justice department realizing there were boxes missing and he is accused of obstructing justice and lying to investigators. but it moves him and trump directly toward trial. there is a lot of things that need to happen in this trial. this kicks it off. >> a significant day. let's talk now about the news from last night. fill out the significance of rusty bowers saying that he was indeed interviewed by the fbi. >> every day or every couple days we're learning about

another person essentially in a battleground state who is talking to the special counsel, office, providing them evidence of some sort, very likely testimony that could be used in building a case. so we know the special counsel's office has been focused around those efforts what donald trump did, the pressure he wanted to be placed on lots of people including mike pence and also what top lawyers around him were doing. and in recent weeks, you know, we heard about fake electors in nevada testifying to a grand jury. we heard about trump campaign officials working to organize this fake elector scheme across the country to try to get battleground states including arizona to overturn the vote. we also heard about the secretary of state in georgia talking, and now arizona too. rusty bowers in arizona says he talked to investigators and talked about the calls from rudy giuliani and donald trump himself. >> really shows the expansion that we're learning of in terms of how many states this federal probe being looks at.

thank you. and sad news to report this morning. two new jersey firefighters have died after they were responded to a ship fire in the port of newark late last night. fire officials say that they were trying to put out the flames but got pushed back by the intense heat while backing out of the structure. we will have of course updates on this developing story. >> our thoughts with their families of course. and the super pac backing mike pence out with a new ad hitting donald trump's relationship with world leaders. xi jinping, putin, kim jung-un. we'll play it for you next.

america doesn't stand with thugs and dictators. we confront them. or at least we used to. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >> there can be no room in the leadership of the republican party for apologists for putin. there can only be room for champions of freedom. >> that is a new ad from a pac supporting mike pence and it does not hold back on his former boss. joining us is elie honig and also john avlon.

john, let's start with you. >> he is so excited to talk about this. >> usually the biggest political domestic story of the day. why? >> absolutely. take a step back. you have a former vice president of the united states accusing his former boss who is running in the primary as being too tight for dictators, for being an apologist for vladimir putin. that is a very big deal. that is a very big deal. that is a tough shot from this pence associated pac. >> i have a question for john. where is mike pence? why is he so straightforward and unequivocal in an ad like that yet every time he is asked about january 6, we get into, well, we didn't see eye to eye. >> well, can we play for you what happened yesterday -- i think this was yesterday when a voter came up to him in a pizza shop and asked him about this. oh, we don't have it.

but essentially he didn't punt. he directly answered that trump was wrong, i didn't have that right, i don't have that right under the constitution. i thought that was a change in tone and i think that it is interesting that it comes as this ad comes. >> i know the event you are talking about and you're exactly right. this is what pence needs to do. he needs to stop tiptoeing around and draw a clear contrast on matters of principle. when it comes to cozying up to dictat dictators, this is a clear way do it. this is a pac so it can be full throated. i can quibble with the use of the words weakness a rouses evil, but nonetheless, this is a very tough ad and it is a core point of -- worth going on offense on particularly with putin in the news, xi and north korea. >> but before we move on arizona, but i certainly want to talk about that, he defended -- pence defended the meeting with

kim jung-un, the several meetings. he defended the tweets about trump's relationship with putin. now he will say, well, you shouldn't be so close to them, but for four years you assumed y your -- supported your boss getting close to those people. >> fair point. and pence was until the very, very end, he would defend anything donald trump did. he was totally devoted. even when there were contradictions with his own personal beliefs. and that is where there is a credibility gap with mike pence. but he can make it up now saying this is what i really believe. >> betting memories are short. >> a good bet in america. >> let's talk about arizona and the significance of the reporting that we just got from katelyn polantz. tells us doj is focused more than just on georgia. what else does it take us? >> let's remember this was a seven state strategy. we're focused on georgia and brad raffensperger, but now we

know they are speaking to an important highly placed individual in one of those other states among the seven. the fact that we now know rusty bowers was interviewed he said for four hours, that is enormously significant. it tells me they need his information. and he said to kaitlan collins that he provided corroborating documents to the fbi, documents rudy giuliani had given to him, he told us that the fbi was focused on donald trump, rudy giuliani, john east man the attorney. it tells me that this investigation is focused on the broader scheme as it should be. >> but if they have spoken to rusty bowers, one would imagine that if he hasn't been interviewed yet, there will be an effort to speak with the governor. >> it could be that he has been spoken to in the meantime. the rusty bowers revelation is 12 hours old. but i can't conceive of a witness list that would include only rusty bowers but not the

governor. >> especially because we had reporting that there is another tape of trump trying to pressure former governor ducey. and that is what he is saying, how have i not been interviewed yet. but arizona was a major front in this overall effort to overturn the election based on bogus evidence. >> remind people why they would want to talk to governor ducey so much. famous silencing of the phone call as he is certifying the results of a biden win in arizona. >> you remember that moment, governor coulducey is certifyine win. the president is calling and he sort of ignores it. as there is the infamous tape of the president calling raffensperger, there is apparently another tape according to "washington post" reporting of trump doing much of the same thing to governor ducey, trying to influence him to find more votes. remember the margin being just 10,000 votes.

and when the bogus audit occur this had conjunction with a lot of folks in the trump sphere, biden ultimately came up with 300 votes more than he had previously. >> that's right, after the cyber ninjas. >> yeah. all right. thank you both. cocaine has been found at the white house. how did it get there? that is what the secret service and everyone wants to know. the fingerprint and dna analysis officials are conducting, next.

this morning the secret service is launching a full-scale probe into a small bag of cocaine discovered at the entrance area of the white house on sunday. lab test confirmed the white house substance left behind was indeed cocaine.

the white house now is trying to figure out how it got there. >> is that the working theory, that it was likely a visitor, and are you confident that this was not a white house staffer? >> there is an investigation, they will get to the bottom of this. what i wanted to be very clear that this is a heavily traveled, to be more accurate, area of the campus of the white house. and it is where investigation it tors to the west wing come through, this is the part where they come through. i just don't have anything else. i won't speculate on who it was. >> arlette saenz is with us now from the white house. so there is this investigation. what do we know about it? >> reporter: secret service is using every tool at their disposal to try to determine who brought that baggy of cocaine into the white house. they are running dna test and fingerprints analysis on the bag as well as having secret service comb through surveillance video

and visitors logs. this baggy of white powdery substance later confirmed to be cocaine was found within the west wing of the white house on sunday, found in an area that includes cubbies where visitors who are being brought through forhe west wing often led by staff, that is where visitors can drop off their cellphones and also white house officials drop off their cellphones if they are heading into a scif. and there is an investigation into the matter. and this is an area that is heavily traveled through, where the visitors come through as they are looking to go on their west wing tours. but one official cautions that there is a chance that they are unable to determine who exactly brought that baggy in because there this is an area where many travel through and also the size of the bag was so small, it could make it difficult to

determine whose baggy of cocaine it was. but for now the investigation continues. >> certainly does. >> and the president is hitting the road today to further push his biden omics agenda. where is he heading? >> reporter: he is heading down to west columbia, south carolina. ruby red state but also helped turn around president biden's presidential campaign back in 2020. he will be touting the private investment this is clean energy manufacturing that the white house says will create 600 jobs in the state. it is all part of the white house's push to try to sellbide show his legislative accomplishments like inflation reduction act and infrastructure law are already paying off for voters. but still at a time where many are anxious about the state of the pli aeconomy and two-thirds

disapproving of how he is handling the economy. so making it a tough sell for him. >> arrlette saenz, thank you so much. let's bring in our analyst and he also served as secret service agent under president obama. they will figure out who this was, right? you can fingerprints the bag, look at video footage, right? >> well, they will try. and they will use every investigative tool that they have at their disposal to make attribution as to who brought this schedule 2 illegal drug into the white house complex. and it includes fingerprints analysis, if there was some sort of whole or partial print left on the plastic bag, any type of dna forensic he evidence that could be there. as well as video surveillance in the area of the white house, but also outside around the entrances and exits.

all of that being said, it is very difficult to make direct attribution absent of someone -- the visual presentation of the forensics. reason being, this is basically the cross roads of the white house. there are hundreds of people who pass through there every day from white house staff, secret service, military intelligence officials. the situation room is just steps away from the cubbies. and then you have the white house tours. so there are a lot of potential individuals who could have introduced the substance into the white house. so making attribution and again just trying to level set expectations here, it may be very difficult for investigators. >> let's put that map back up because i think th is interesting. as large as a complex this is, we're talking about an area that as you listed some of the people ss through, it helps to set the scope d the universe of people who could have brought this in. so walk us thrgh it.

>> so listen, on the map what we're looking at, this is the ground floor of the west wing. this is whe all ofhe official duties of the administration are held in the west wing. the ground floor has two big significant areas that draw staff and military and intelligence personnel into it. one is the white house mess, the presidential food service, and then most importantly is the situation room. now, during the weekend the situation room takes a lower posture unless there is a moment of a crisis. but tours do have access into this area friday through sunday, you do have west wing tours that start at this area of the ground floor of the west wing. tours will drop their phones into these cubbies and then move through the remainder of the tour. i think there is a higher probability that the substance was introduced at that location

by a tour member and the reason being it was the greatest volume of people at that time. typically west wing staff are not active in the west wing while the president is away. and over the holiday weekend, the president was away. so this is all leaning more towards a member of a tour group as opposed to a member of staff. >>jonathan, thank you for your expertise. coming up for us, this -- hope for alzheimer's patients. the fda poised to approve a breakthrough drug to slow progression of the disease. we'll tell you how much it will cost. and hours from now, casey desantis set to make her first so he slo so he sllo campaign appearananc. will it help her husband. your blood sugar. help e and more protein to keep you moving with diabetes.. glucucerna live every moment

new this morning, the fda set to decide whether it will fully approve the first alzheimer's drug to show that it could slow the disease's progression in certain patients. but the decision could also have other implications including who could get access to it. and meg terrell explains. >> reporter: six years ago joe saw a neurologist for what he thought were a few minor problems with his memory. >> and she said you know what, joe, you actually have younger onset alzheimer's disease. you are likely going to start experiencing declines in the next five years. and you may not recognize your family in five to seven years. >> reporter: now at 59, he is one of millions of americans living with alzheimer's disease. but this year, new hope emerged. a drug aiming to slow down the disease's progression got accelerated fda approval in january based on the fact that it clears amyloid plaque

buildups in the brain. but medicare declined to cover it until the fda granted a fuller traditional approval based on a clinical trial proving that it has been fits. without insurance, the medicine costs $26,500 a year. >> you had this treatment at your fingertips and suddenly you had medicare saying, yeah, but you can't quite get access to that at this point in time. >> reporter: a larger trial funded by the drug's makers did find that it can slow the progression of alzheimer's disease by about 27%. it is the first time a drug has proven to alter the disease's course. >> it was a very dismay be experience getting a diagnosis of alzheimer's only to be told that we don't have anything that will slow down or stop the disease in its tracks. >> reporter: columbia
