his bat telling the nationals to check it again. cincinnati won in a blowout, 9-2. how did i do? >> i believed it. >> sorry, phil. thank you, friend. see you tomorrow. >> be here tomorrow, yep. all right. cnn "news central" is now. ♪ . the president of belarus makes a stunning new claim, the mercenary boss accused of staging a failed rebellion against vladimir putin is actually in russia not belarus. cnn is in belarus learning more about the state of yevgeny prigozhin.
6:01 am
headed to court. the personal aid accused of helping donald trump con sale classified documents and lie about it will face a judge this morning and the details unredacted about what the justice department knew before they searched trump's home. the social media smack down. facebook's founder takes on twitter head on -- or thread on as the case my ambay be. >> millions of influencers in hours, i'm thread influencer john berman, with kate bolduan and sara sidner and this is cnn "news central." this morning a stunning twist in the aftermath of the attempted a mutiny this russia. we're told wagner leader yevgeny prigozhin is in russia, not living in belarus. the belarussian president first
6:02 am
said that prigozhin was in his country but when cnn's matt chance had an opportunity to ask him about that this morning, the story changed. >> reporter: i wornder if you cn provide us all with a bit of an update on the whereabouts of the wagner leader, yevgeny prigozhin is in he belarus or not? >> translator: he is in st. petersburg or maybe this morning he would travel to moscow or elsewhere but he's not in the territory of belarus now. >> this comes after russian state media launched an attack on prigozhin, pointing to his criminal past while airing footage of a police raid at the wagner leader's home and office. these are things they say they found, wigs, gold, guns, stacks of cash and multiple passports with different identities. matthew chance joins us from belarus this morning. we saw you there talking to the president of belarus,
6:03 am
lukashenko, what else did he tell you about all this? >> reporter: yeah, sara, an extraordinary conversation here at the marble-clad palace of independence in the center ofminsk. it was meant to be a wide ranging conversation. we spoke about wagner, the whereabouts of the russian mercenary group, the whereabouts of the leader yevgeny prigozhin what a shock ha he's not here. ten days ago lukashenko went out and said he was here. and the deal he brokered to bring an end to the revolt has actually not been finalized. it seems from the video you've been watching that it's being renegotiated by the kremlin, and that may not end well for yevgeny prigozhin who is seeing
6:04 am
his empire basically taken to pieces bit by bit by the russian state in the aftermath of the military yuprising, lukashenko said he did not know what was going to happen to yevgeny prigozhin but seemed less clear about what the future would hold for him. he said he's no longer preparing military camps for an influx of wagner fighters something he said he would consider doing frooe previously and there were satellites put out of military tents in belarus possibly for an influx of wagner fighters. lukashenko said he doubted, though, that putin would kill yevgeny prigozhin he came out with this in an unsolicited way. he wasn't asked if putin would kill him. it's extraordinary that the possibility that the wagner leader could be killed by the kremlin is something that the
6:05 am
leader of neighboring belarus is willing to discuss in public to international journalists who had gathered here. so an extraordinary conversation with a man who was pivotal in the events in the last couple weeks. >> kate it is a surprise to a lot of people that yevgeny prigozhin isn't jailed or worse. we'll see what happens. >> to put a fine point on it. lukashenko does not give access like a normal leader would just as we know many autocratic leaders don't. the search for prigozhin continues against the backdrop of the ongoing war of ukraine. emergency workers in lviv are
6:06 am
searching for survivors after an attack this morning. at least five people were killed and the number of people being found injured continues to rise this morning. now di at 36. the missile hit around 2:45 a.m. local time. l lviv's military calling this the most devastating attack on civi civilians in lviv since the war on ukraine. officials say dozens of homes, hundreds of apartments were destroyed, an orphanage and school were also not spared. ben wedeman is on the ground and joins us for the latest. what more are you hearing about this round of attacks? >> reporter: well, what we know is it was a caliber missile that hit this residential building.
6:07 am
that is a hypersonic russian missile that carries about 1,000 pounds of high explosives. they're so fast it's difficult for air defenses to take down. this explains this level of destruction. it's not at all clear, however, why this building was hit. it does seem to simply have been a residential building. among those five dead is a 21-year-old woman, a journalist, as well as a 95-year-old woman who survived the second world war. now this strike comes as quite a shock. this is a part of ukraine that's been largely spared during the russian invasion that began in february of last year. many people had fled from other parts of the country to lviv because it's close to poland and as i said, the situation is much calmer there. but obviously this is going to shatter that illusion of safety in lviv. kate?
6:08 am
>> ben, thank you for the latest on that. john, you have the latest attack in lviv and as we were talking about the hunt for this man right there. with us is bianna golodryga. i want to remind people of the journey we're told prigozhin has taken. he was here leading the wagner group in ukraine, marching it seems towards moscow. after he stood down we are told he went to minsk, the capital of belarus. now the president of belarus is saying he is here at st. petersburg and may be on his way to moscow. if this is the bizarre journey of this man, what does it tell us? >> full disclosure i do not know where yevgeny prigozhin is. but i'm not surprised we've seen the back and forth in terms of
6:09 am
trying to figure out where he is. we heard from him since that failed mutiny last week but we haven't seen him and he didn't say where he was. there was speculation and people online who watched the space closely. who assumed and thought they had spotted prigozhin around st. petersburg the last few days. yes, he may have in belarus, that was the line last week but even if he had been in belarus, which is just an arm of russia at this point and they do have an extradition treaty. if putin wanted him back he could have him back any time. my guess, only a guess, vladimir putin doesn't know what to do with yevgeny prigozhin. he was a huge asset for him leading the wagner group for so many years. now he said he would pardon him for treason, doesn't mean he won't be charged with anything else, perhaps tax evasion, corruption, and we've seen these
6:10 am
new images from the russian state media of the police raiding his home, finding money and passports of yevgeny prigozhin. so perhaps this is an opportunity for vladimir putin to make him more irrelevant. >> why make yevgeny prigozhin irrelevant and not dead? >> listen, i think he is somebody who goes way back with vladimir putin. killing someone who may still be popular among russians may not be the most opportune thing for putin to do at this point. charging him after letting russians know this is not the man who you thought he was. the funding came from me, the state for wagner all of these years and look at the corruption and the tax evasion on your time that he has conducting for so many years. may be a way for russians to say, you know what, the system is more solid now, more stable.
6:11 am
wagner, perhaps the war even, can continue without this one man who gained prominence over the last few months. >> i want to show people the main characters in the drama. the three aging men, vladimir putin, alexander lukashenko and yevgeny prigozhin. this statement from lukashenko that prigozhin is in st. petersburg. it's about him but i get the sense he's a central player. >> faces only a mother can love and none of these men are known to be truth tellers which is why we're in a situation which pare you going to believe most? this guy lukashenko, last week said i was the middleman to calm the situation, negotiated the deal to keep prigozhin alive, come to belarus. that seemed to have benefitted
6:12 am
vladimir putin, right. to turn to him when he needed a lifeline and many times in the past to say you have to step in now. lukashenko likes to speak his mind sometimes. he doesn't like to speak to reporters but when he does, he goes on and on and on. this is an opportunity for him to say i don't know where he is, perhaps in russia, perhaps st. petersburg. but i think all of this is still coming from the command of one man. >> thank you for helping us understand it and them. >> a great conversation. in less than two hours, donald trump's aide and co-defendant will appear in court in the classified documents case. this as we're learning the doj has video evidence of someone at mar-a-lago moving boxes and they had it before the fbi conducted its search. also new information about a man arrested with a van full of weapons near former president barack obama's home. the other lawmakers he's accused of threatening days before his arrest.

6:18 am
destinations. carlos suarez is just outside the miami court where he'll be arraigned this morning. what do we expect? >> reporter: john, good morning. this is the third court hearing for 40-year-old walt nauta, the first time around he had trouble finding an attorney to represent him in south florida. the second time around, bad weather kept him from traveling to south florida. we expect he'll plead not guilty to obstruction charges and to lying to investigators. prosecutors say that he moved dozens of boxes that contained classified documents from a storage room at trump's mar-a-lago resort to other parts of the property and that he lied about the entire thing. prosecutors say that this was all in an effort to keep one of trump's lawyers from finding the classified documents that had been subpoenaed by a grand jury.
6:19 am
nauta, who as you mentioned is a personal aide to the former president is expected in federal court here this morning. he was with donald trump in philadelphia last week where the former president had a campaign appearance. john? >> while this is happening today, carlos. we also learned new information about what was in the affidavit really at the beginning of this prior to to executing the search warrant. what did we learn? >>. >> reporter: that's right. we learned a few new details about the search warrant affidavit although some of it was covered in donald trump's indictment as well as walt nauta's indictment. we know the fbi was aware some of the boxes had been moved before they searched the mar-a-lago property. now nauta is not named in the court document but we believe he is referenced a couple of times throughout the affidavit. one part reads, quote, on may
6:20 am
30, 2022, four days after witness 5's interview, with the fbi during which the location of box was a significant subject of questioning, he was witnessed moving approximately 55 banker boxes. they say they have video of him moving the boxes before the fbi searched the property and say he lied to investigators about knowing the whereabouts of the boxes and whether or not he moved them throughout -- a couple of points throughout the year. john? >> filling in a couple blanks here. keep us posted, carlos. thank you very much. let us dig deeper now into the significance of what nauta's
6:21 am
arraignment means going forward. joining us now is nick akerman former assistant u.s. attorney from the southern district of new york. thank you for joining us. we learned the newly unsealed information we have all gotten that the fbi had surveillance video before they raided mar-a-lago in this case. >> what does that tell you? >> it tells me they had the information showing the boxes going out and in, which is incredibly important but doesn't mean anything unless you have an inside witness that specified exactly what happened. i think what we're seeing is really corroboration of one or more witnesses who basically spelled out exactly what happened in terms of hiding documents from evan corcoran,
6:22 am
that somebody actually told him how this worked. we know that also because two of the areas -- several of the areas mentioned in the affidavit at the end, the anti-room of trump's residency, the residency itself and his office are mentioned. meaning that somebody specified to the fbi that these boxes went to those locations and, in fact, we know that's what happened because documents were found in those locations after the search was executed. particularly documents in donald trump's office. so what this says to me is they have a witness who spelled it out, maybe more than one witness, i believe it's probably c
6:23 am
corcoran because he figured out they were playing him and his law license was on the line. and it's likely he went to the fbi afterwards and said this is what happened. you guys have been hoodwinked. i think what we're seeing is a preview of what we'll see at the trial itself where you have corcoran and others testify and these videotapes are going to be evidence to corroborate exactly what they say on the witness stand. >> you talk about the fact that both the video and the witnesses will have a huge impact on this case. i want to ask you about walt nauta himself. at first he was having a hard time getting a florida attorney to represent him. why do you think that is? >> i think a lot of lawyers are reluctant to have anything to do with donald trump or any of his cases. donald trump doesn't pay his lawyers, number one. and number two, as it turns out, the person who actually provides all the legal advice and
6:24 am
direction in the court of any representation is donald trump. so any reputable lawyer is going to have a hard time getting involved in this case. not to mention the fact that a number of lawyers who have res represented trump over the last couple of years are under investigation. >> thank you for breaking all of that down for us. appreciate you. kate? >> still ahead, the new loyalty oath florida republicans are requiring from any candidate who wants to get on the primary ballot. plus, the man in former president barack obama's home after donald trump posted his address on social media. what we're learning about that situation ahead.d. ...or blasting the air conditioning. bebecause only the tempur-pedic breeze is made with our o one-of-a-kind cooling technology- that pulls heat away from your body. so, the mattress f feels up to 10° cooler all night long.

new numbers just released show a huge spike in hiring for june. the private sector added an estimated 497,000 new jobs last month. that's according to the latest national employment report. much of the gains were driven by growth in leisure and hospitality injuries. at least five people are hospitalized after a mass shooting in fort lauderdale. police say a group was gathered when a second group fired on them. today the fda is expected to grant approval to an alzheimer's drug. the drug received accelerated approval in january based on
6:30 am
evidence that it clears plaque build up in the brain associated with the disease but at a cost of $27,000, coverage has been limited, that coverage could expand if the fda grants approval. florida's republican party saying put up or shut up to republicans running for president. they're now requiring every candidate to sign a loyalty pledge. the promise is that each person will support the party's nominee. the republican national committee has also made that a requirement to get on the debate stage. just this morning will hurd said this is why -- he explained why he won't sign a pledge like this. listen. >> the issue is not with me supporting the republican nominee. the issue is i'm not going to support donald trump. and here's why. donald trump is a proven loser. >> hurd is the only candidate so
6:31 am
far to make very clear that he is rejecting the pledge. six others have made it, i think we can say, less clear statements about it or sent mixed messages about what to do when presented with it but they'll all presented with it soon. joining us with more on this is daniel strauss. thank you for coming in. what's the point of a loyalty oath to the party? i mean, for this orany candidate running, it's unclear why the party cares about it, why the national committee cares about it and why the state cares about it so much. >> partially it's because any gop or democratic operative in a divided primary, a crowded primary, is worried that it will be a lasting and bitter fight. and that lasting and bitter fight will spill over into the general election. so the question is here, will there be supporters of candidates who aren't the
6:32 am
eventual nominee who will coalesce around the eventual nominee. that was the issue in 2016. i'm skeptical how effective these pledges are. there was a move for a pledge in 2016 and those didn't work. voters coalesced around their party's candidate in the end. i'm doubtful here given that, in particular, former congressman hurd, former governor chris christie have been vocal critics of donald trump that the rest of the field will follow suit and say they'll sign a loyalty pledge even if it means supporting trump in the general election. >> trump abandoned the pledge in 2016 even after agreeing to it. it was in march of 2016 at a cnn town hall where he decided it wasn't worth the paper he must have signed it on. listen to this. >> do you continue to pledge
6:33 am
whoever the republican nominee is? >> no, i don't anymore. >> you don't? >> no. we'll see who it is. >> to your point, daniel, that flip flop, whatever you want to call it, that clearly didn't impact voters and i'm struck by the same question you are, why would it be any different this time? >> right. and for donald trump in particular, i expect him to say, at some point, i'm going to be the nominee, so i will support the pledge. but, look, there's added attention around him and whether he will support such a pledge or not. again, these pledges don't really have a huge amount of effect. and any candidate who would want to be on a debate stage this cycle will likely have to go through multiple questions whether they have to sign a pledge or not. they want to be on the debate stage but following through is a different story. >> that's right. so let's talk about mike pence, another republican candidate out there right now on the trail in
6:34 am
s iowa, he was confronted by a voter about breaking with trump on january 6th and the electors. listen to this. >> if it wasn't for your vote, we would not have joe biden in the white house. do you ever second guess yourself? that was a constitutional right that you had to send those votes back to the states. >> it's an issue that continues to be misunderstood. no vice president in american history asserted the authority you are convinced i had. i want to tell you, with all due respect, i said before, i said when i announced, president trump was wrong about my authority that day and he's still wrong. >> and mike pence is right on that point. he was asked about it from reporters later. he said this is a case he has to take to the american people but how hard do you think it's proving for him to do that with republican voters?
6:35 am
>> i mean, in this primary, there are a sect of republican voters who are lock step behind trump and they will not be moved. they will always be skeptical about claims contrary to what trump makes. so when mike pence argues he did not have the constitutional authority to overturn the election, there will be voters who simply don't believe him and simply think that that was a precursor to pence's own ambitions to running for president. again, though, like you said, it's wrong. he did not have that authority on that day. but the question for him is going to persist throughout this primary. >> also worth noting, though, question asked and question answered accurately by a politician to a voter, even if it's not the answer that voter wanted. always worth noting. thank you. john? learning new details about the man arrested with weapons in
6:36 am
the shington d.c. neighborhood where former president barack obama lives. he was live streing from the home after donald trump posted what he thought was barack obama's address. he's been charged in connection to the january 6th u.s. capitol attack. with me now is intelligence analyst john miller. the details emerging about this man truly, i want to say, fascinating but also troubling. >> it is. here's a guy if you go all the way back, he's been on the radar for some time. he is on video in the capital during the insurrection of january 6th. he's outside the capital scuffling with police and other demonstrators. so he's somebody they were looking at. interestingly, he's from washington, ends up in the other washington, washington d.c. and for the past couple of months he's been on the radar
6:37 am
there, live streaming. last week it came to a head when he was live streaming that he had a detonator, that he had a van, it was a self-driving vehicle, he was going to n.i.s.t. the national institute for science and technology, up in gaithersburg, maryland, and saying the car is going to drive in there and blow up is what he's implying. so now they start looking for him. after the former president trump's tweet where he retweets an article that has the street the obamas live on, he live streams from there saying i'm going to meet with the obamas, the podestas we'll meet them in hell, trying to get a good shot of the house or angle to see but he's talking about the tunnels that connect their basements. so there's a lot going on there. the context of getting a shot or an angle is changed when they find his van and there are two
6:38 am
semiautomatic weapons, hundreds of rounds of nine milliliter ammunition. and the secret service locates him, he runs into the woods, they capture him, and search the van. >> and there was some live streaming at an elementary school near where congressman jamie raskin leaves. so there's a pattern that raises alarm but also the way he spoke, an understanding of the line between free speech and a genuine threat. he talked about that line. >> yeah. and that's really interesting. because this is threatening language but not threatening under the law. and, you know, he's charged with the weapons right now. the question is, can they charge under title 18, 305
6:39 am
[ 6 ] threatening a former president under the charge of the secret service. and he seems to have walked that line closely. it's up to the prosecutors to see if the other factors, the guns, the cars, the claims of explosives and detonators, meet the bar that matches the language. >> worth watching to be sure. john miller you're all over this story. thanks for being with us. coming up, 10 million users within 7 hours. meta's new app thread appears to answer the call for a twitter alternative after elon musk took over the platform. we'll discuss. also, israel facing backlash for its military operation into the west bank town of janine. the u.s. is accusing israeli -- excuse me, the u.n. is now accusing israeli forces of committing war crimes.

a u.s. defense official tells cnn the navy intervened twice on wednesday to stop iran from seizing two different commercial oil tankers. both incidents occurred in the gulf of oman in international waters. this morning iran is responding saying it has a court order to seize the oil tanker after they say it collided with one of their ships. natasha bertrand is following this story. give us a sense of what happened here. >> reporter: it unfolded yesterday. it was two incidents between the navy and two iranian vessels. around 1:00 a.m., local time, an iranian vessel approached an oil
6:45 am
tanker operating in the gulf of oman. as it approached this oil tanker, the u.s. navy destroyer that was in the area, it approached the two vessels to make sure the iranian navy vessel was not going to try to seize this oil tanker because according to u.s. officials the iranians have tried to do that, seize commercial vessels in the area at least 20 times since 2021. so the navy was trying to pre-empt that kind of behavior by the iranians. but as the iranian ship sped away after the intervention by the u.s. navy destroyer, a couple hours later it happened again also in the gulf of oman another oil tanker headed towards the arabian sea, and an iranian navy vessel approaches the tanker and tried to board it and seize it. the navy received a distress
6:46 am
call from the vessel, intervened, and the iranian vessel started firing at the oil tanker at that point. no one was injured and the iranian tanker turned around. this is a pattern that iran has been doing to intimidate ships operating in the international waters. >> you can see the flashes of light, those are bullets r ricochetting at that vessel. this morning experts at the united nations say israel ground strikes targeting the refugee camp may constitute a war crime. at least 12 palestinians died in the violence, israel said all those killed were involved in combat. infrastructure, including water and electricity were damaged,

cnn was in the middle of jenin she is now live in jerusalem. what's the latest? had. >> reporter: really extraordinary scenes, john, yesterday. hours after, thousands were returning to their homes. they were looking around surveying the damage. one of the first things that took place, john, if you can believe it, was a huge funeral for the 12 people killed in that israeli military incursion. i know we have footage to show you, just crowds of people, masses of people, filled the street and what really stood out was the armed resistant factions. the palestine armed factions in and out that protest funeral, carrying their weapons and flags, making a clear message to israel they were unbowed, unbroken by the military operation there.
6:48 am
