now to a cnn exclusive. the ongoing federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election is expanding. we have learned federal prosecutors recently interviewed the secretaries of state for both pennsylvania and new mexico. al schmidt and maggie oliver. indicating the committee is focused on actions by president trump and allies in 17 battleground states you see joe biden won. our justice reporter joins us now. what are you learning about the new interviews? >> reporter: just the latest of interviews of secretaries of state that we know now happened in recent months, and this map really is filling out how much the special counsel's office looked into the administration of elections in battleground states. when you look at this, we now

know based on reporting from my colleague zachary cohen, just all over this and able to confirm al schmidt, now is the secretary of the commonwealth in pennsylvania, previously was the philadelphia city commissioner. he was interviewed by the special counsel's office in march about what happened there. philly one of those places rudy giuliani especially was trying to undermine election and vote counting. maggie oliver in new motexico, pressure placed whether joe biden won, and which he had, and donald trump had not. one of the state with fake electors on top of confirmation jocelyn benson in michigan secretary of state there, raffensperger in georgia, all talked to the special counsel's office criminal investigators about the 2020 election. these aren't just anyone. these are the top elections officials in those states. so the special counsel's office we know now has a very full

understanding of how those elections were affected by whatever the trump campaign and others were doing. >> appears the investigation is expanding. feels like a few time as week hearing about more and more people -- >> every day. >> questioned. >> exactly. every day. new reporting trump's lawyers are asking a georgia court to throw out evidence? what do we know about this? >> reporter: right. an ongoing criminal investigation in fulton counteny, georgia. the special grand jury finished their report made rey recommendations for charges and fani willis taking it through a new grand jury just seen, sworn in a few days ago. donald trump and his team, they're going to court asking the court to intervene. writing and saying, you know, a violation of his rights to be potentially under this investigation to have this special grand jury report still out there and to be potentially looked at by a new grand jury. he's facing reputational harm because of this and essentially asking them to throw out both the work of the district

attorney fani willis and well as that special grand jury that spent months investigating hearing from witnesses and gathering evidence and finally coming to some conclusions still secret but likely to be presented to a grand jury who would consider indictment. >> likely any week now. by august i think. thank you. brianna. in the republican race for 2024, presidential contender ron desantis standing his ground on his campaign strategy as some supporters fear he'll lose more ground to the front-runner donald trump. desantis resisting calls for a big change in his campaign. it appears he stalled in second place solidly ahead of those behind him but still far behind trump. right now on the stage with at least five other people for the first republican debate that is set for august 23rd. cnn has all of the details on desantis for us. steve, tell us. when is desantis planning to make his move?

>> reporter: brianna, little expectation inside desantis's campaign that these poll numbers will change much if at all, before that august 23rd debate. in fact, they are bracing for desantis to remain behind donald trump for the rest of the summer, but they're eyeing that first debate as a chance when republican voters tuning in first time as their first chance to move the dial and make their case against president donald trump. former president donald trump. urging patience in the meantime trying to tell supporters look, we got this. listen to what he had to say earlier this week when asked about his position in the polls. >> i'm looking forward to being able to participate in the debates, but this is not something that, you know, i ever expected to snap fingers and all of a sudden you win seven months before anything happens. you got to earn it, work, requires toil, tears and sweat and we're going to do that.

>> reporter: desantis added he has more than enough resources to get through all the way to the primary, early primary states. he has put $150 million between a super pac and his campaign. but republicans are calling for a change in strategy seen what he offers and think he needs to change things up. changed to one radio broadcaster in iowa says he thinks desantis comes off too technocratic doesn't give people the feels. another one, desantis relies too much talking about his florida accomplishments calling it a typical governor's trap. then erick erickson, conservative commentator telling subscribers rlier in the week, "put bluntly people in ohio or iowa do not want to be in florida. they don't care about florida and are tired of hearing about florida." what he's up against over the next six weeks trying to keep down pressure and get people looking forward to that august 23rd debate instead. >> maybe unless they're going to

disney world. which some definitely are this summer, i'm sure. thank you so much. i want to bring in now breann fawn. steel, chief politics reporter for "des moines register." thank you for being with us. desantis in iowa trying to court that all-important evangelical caucusgoer. a major focus, this six-week abortion ban the governor in iowa kim reynolds will sign. how is this going to play with voters and caucusgoers in iowa? >> that's exactly right. governor ken reynolds actually will sign that bill into law here in a little bit this afternoon in front of about 2,000 of these iowa christian conservative evangelicals. so ron desantis will be here with five other presidential contenders. this is a critical issue for this voting bloc. iowa evangelicals turn out to caucus and can unite together and end up pushing someone over

the finish line. a really critical group to reach. certainly abortion is an issue they're passionate about. >> is interesting -- 61% of iowan adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. 35% say the procedure should be illegal in most or all cases. more than two-thirds of iowa women, 70%, say abortions should be legal in most or all cases. so you actually see a real discrepancy between what's happening and what folks in iowa think on the issue. >> that's right. i think that's what we're going to see play out in a general election. so that's something candidates are grappling with now. are you playing into a republican primary base where people really especially in this crowd today we're at, interested in protecting life at conception. interested in banning as many abortions as possible. so when you espouse policies

like that in a prime area and have to go forward into a general how is that going to play with the writer voting electorate? we asked asa hutchinson former governor of arkansas about his abortion policies and he said that's why he thinks there should be a federal abortion ban at about 15 weeks, something like that and more or less leave up to states to go further if they want. we'll see. of course, governor desantis signed into law a six-week abortion ban similar to the one governor reynolds will sign today and see how he talks about that today. >> so trump, of course, the front-runner in polling. it's notable, though, he's not going to be in attendance here. is there an opening for another candidate to gain traction in the state, especially what happened after the last go-round? >> right. i mean, this is a long caucus process, and if you look historically, when candidates, if they come from behind to surge it's typically not until the fall.

i think we'll see these debates play out and things through the summer play out and then if there's still an opening for a candidate to move, i think we might see that happen a little later. you're seeing people like governor desantis really laying groundwork. same with senator tim scott. playing groundwork in iowa people on the ground, doing kind of the nuts and bolts of campaigning. that if lightning strikes if there is an opening they can capitalize on that when the moment comes along. >> all right. we'll be watching. it is a long process, and i know this is your super bowl. you'll be watching along with us. great to have you. thank you. rahal? br those in front of the cameras joined those behind on the picket line. we're in new york and l.a. where both actors and writers are on strike today. their demands, coming up next. plus, almost a herthird of

>> reporter: yeah, look i don't have just anybody standing next to me in front of nbc universal, brianna. ezra, the s.a.g. aftra president here in the local, the local chapter president talking about issues at stake. first of all, essentially we don't, if you all don't come to some sort of resolution here, what do things look like in the landscape of tv and film come the fall? >> there will be no new productions come fall if this continues beyond that point. not only do you have us on our first day, day one, of our strike, also you have day, near 70 already for the wga. >> reporter: we're hearing a lot about artificial intelligence. we know that the resolution that was offered by the afmpt was that a day rate for extras to have their likeness scanned and

be able to be used in p d perpe. what else is vital in a.i.? >> we can negotiate day rates or the rate used for that rate of pay. that's okay. however, they're entrenched desire, to use that content in perp tutsi not acceptable to us. we want to put fences around use of that consent as well as regard for the limited use of that. >> reporter: you hear bob iger out in idaho saying really they just haven't figured how how to make streaming as lucrative as hoped it would be. really the money isn't there. your response? >> the money is there. i counter that money is there and creeping over into tv actually as well and trying to harness this huge machine, which for them is future of profits.

>> reporter: thank you for your time. brianna, you know a lot at stake. famous faces behind me including jason sudeikis, behind me, and a lot of people are out here showing support and they really hope a resolution can come soon but don't think it's going to happen soon enough. >> hard to see. seems like two sides very apart on these two issues. live in new york, thank you. money that's at issue also the economic impact at issue here, because the impact of this will be huge in terms of the economy. potentially. many economies supporting these productions will take a hit. and joining me for more on that, vanessa, explain to me who and how this strike will affect the industry and the economy. >> it's not every day you have one hollywood going on strike and now two. 160,000 actors joining 11,000 writers already been on strike. already seen some of the economic impact. of course, studios need revenue

and actors and writers losing salaries, but there's a ripple effect here. talking about businesses and people who work in craft services, janeters, uber drivers, deli owners, who support local communities where a production happens as well as prop and set companies who basically stage a lot of these productions. now this is no longer going to be a u.s. economic impact. this is going to be an international economic impact because you have a lot of these movie studios that do production in other countries. like new zealand, the uk, australia. those countries can be impacted and also anywhere postproduction is done. now, disney's ceo bob iger was on cnbc yesterday and he says he believes there will be collateral damage on other industries because of these two strikes. the last strike, 15 weeks. writers held their strike in

2007. for perspective, hasrahal, $2 billion in economic impact. this one according to the milken institute, $4 million. about double that. >> longer it goes on larger the economic impact will be. live in new york. thank you. a major arrest in a long dormant case, but one that affects a lot of new york families. a grand jury has charged a new york architect with six counts of murder in connection to an unsolved case tied to at least ten sets of human remains. those are remains that were discovered more than a decade ago on long island. i want to go now to brynn gingras in new york following us. this is a case that many people will be familiar with, and what is the latest here? >> reporter: yeah. especially in the new york area. one that's haunted detectives especially on long island who tried to solve it more than a decade. a huge break in the case.

still working through court documents. the document prosecutors sent to keep this suspect behind bars on no bail and it is extremely detailed how they made the connection to this suspect whose name is rex hoyermann. awaiting his court appearance's in this document charged with three of the women's murders. first degree and second-degree murder charges for three of the women who were discovered along gilgo beach on long island back in 2010. and let me just read to you actually a page from this. in it some of this information they've collected against this suspect according to this document is, recent searches of hiremann for sdistick images of relatives and online searches about the criminal investigations going on over a decade. used fick fishz names, burner

emails to access, history possessing firearms. a lot of detail i'm actually still going through, but this is a man according to authorities who worked, owned an architecture firm in new york city. was arrested in the city yesterday, and now is going to go in front of a judge on these charges. a lot of really interesting details we're working to confirm and go through. were will continue to follow it through for you. a lot of families waiting for answers. >> for so many years. so many people missing. all right. now, brynn, let you keep going through it. thank you so much. coming up for us, second most senior u.s. military officer in the nation and now the u.s. is paying out nearly $1 million to the woman who accused him of sex walt assaults. coming up, talk to the woman and lawyer, rather who represents that woman and also talk about the ramifications of this coming up ahead. to google tools for education

i know the summer heat now is too hot to handle but prepare yourselves, because this weekend is going to be even worse. talking up to 130 degrees in some cases. more than 90 million people are under heat alerts in at least 15 states. all the way from florida to california. cnn meteorologist chad myers is in the weather service for us. the national weather service said the heat dome smoth erg the country is actually going to be reaching peak strength this weekend. >> that is correct. all of the watches and warnings

posted by the weather service are not because it's summer. they're because the summer temperatures that should be are going to be exceeded by a certain threshold. whether 7, 10 or 15 degrees above the normal. so just because it's hot in a normal summer this is hotter than a normal summer. you alluded to the heat dome. exactly what we have. jet treem to the north allowing he'd-of-heat to build. not happening with this, something else. typically on a summer humid day in dallas, texas, air rises, gets this puffy cloud and then starts to rain a little and cool things off. but because the temperature from the surface all the way to the top of the atmosphere is so warm all the way up, that can't happen. clouds don't form. there's not the area up to the top of our atmosphere that's cold enough to cause the clouds. even the clouds would cause some shade and certainly not causing any rainfall whatsoever. why it feels so dreadfully hot

right now. sunshine and 103, feels-like temperature in dallas. at that temperature on a norm summer day, should be clouds. start to pop up with a rain shower to come. because of that atmosphere warmth all the way up that is not going to happen. since the 1st of june set 1,000 record highs across the country. that's not the end of it. by the time we work our way through end of the weekend it will be 100 more record highs. see them main lip in the south and in the west as well. california is going to heat up. if it gets to 118 in vegas, my kind of adopted hometown, kind of. that will be the hottest temperature ever on vegas for any day in any month for years. any day in a year, 117. what we're talking about. all-time record highs, brianna. >> wow. those numbers, chad. all right, keeping an eye on things for us. we appreciate it. thank you. rahal? >> well, people across arizona really feeling effects of the

heat wave. phoenix hasn't dropped below 110 degrees in two weeks, and offering little relief. cooling centers are a form of refuge but more burn centers seeing injuries because of the sizzling pavement. we know the city opened police centers in early june. at the time the plan was to open them for a couple hours a a day seven days a week. this week tucson set a record for the longest excessive heat warning. what is the city doing, my question, in addition to protect residents? >> well, thank you for having me, rahal. tucson and phoenix are two of the fastest warming cities in this country. and extreme heat is one of the deadliest weather-related hazards in the nation. so a lot of people think

flooding or tornadoes, but heat is the silent killer. so i ran -- my first term at mayor. i ran part of my platform, it was to act fast and boldly on climate change, and climate adaptation in the city of tucson. we pass add climate action and implementation plan in record time. focused on the most vulnerable communities in our city, because the effects of climate change, the front line to those effects of climate change are seniors, on limited incomes. children. low-income communities and those people that work outside. so here in the city of tucson we're already implementing climate resiliency strategies. one of the most important pieces of investments we can do, besides the cooling centers, which is immediate action, but

in order to be able to act on climate change, 30% of green house gas emissions come from transportation. so the city of tucson thanks to the biden administration in the inflation reduction act, we've invested $48.9 million, almost $50 million to completely change our diesel buses from our transit system to either electric buses or cng low emission buses. so we're doing that. we're creating cooling centers, and basically providing this service, and -- connecting with nonprofit organizations to help our unsheltered residents as well. >> and i want to ask about that, mayor, because one thing you often hear is, you know, seek shade, where you can. stay in an air conditioned home, if you can. don't go outside, if you can, but for people who don't have an air conditioner, for people who may work outside, i mean, are

you especially concerned about perhaps the most vulnerable folks in tucson? >> absolutely. the most vulnerable folks in tucson are the ones that are the front line. so the cooling centers, we partnered with our transit system to pick up our seniors, if they call us, and take them to the cooling centers to senior centers where there's activities they can do all day long. with children we have a summer program where children can be taken from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to stay in a cool place in partnerships with our schools. but also long term we are planting almost 1 million trees by 2030, and that is a nature-based solution to the heat island effect that we feel in urban centers like tucson and phoenix.

>> well, mayor, appreciate you being with us. certainly we are sending lots of good thoughts. cool thoughts, everyone in tucson and arizona, thank you. coming up an autopsy revealing the cause of death of lisa marie presley. how a common weight-loss surgery she had years ago played a role. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ what do we always say, son? liberty mutual customizes your car insurance... so you only pay fowhat you need. that's my boy. now you get out there, and you make us prou huh? ♪ bye, uncle limu. ♪ stay off the freeways! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

air force investigation was unable to krcorroborate or refu what was against him. nominated by president trump to be the second most senior u.s. officer in the nation and confirmed that position and retired from it in 2021. he argued the -- the general argued that the accuse erg couldn't sue him because of nature of the allegations being incident to military service. a key element of the farris doctrine prohibiting suing the government injures in performance of duties. after a years' long civil lawsuit filed by colonel katherine bledstosur who publicly alleged sexual assault and battery against nim 2019 the military now will pay her $975,000. retired air force colonel don christianson is with us now. a former chief prosecutors for

the airs and served as counsel for the solomon law firm representing the accuser in this civil suit. don, this is big, and i want to talk to you about what this means both for the colonel, but also what it means for other cases, because this is saying that someone in the military can sue for damages against someone else in the military who they are accusing of sexual assault and who a court finds that they believe there is some guilt there nap there is some, you know -- there's finding in what they are alleging here. what is this going to mean for a precedent? >> well, thanks, brianna, for having me on. for the colonel particularly, because she was vilified by many people in the military, people in congress who accused her of falsely alleging that the general had done this. for her it's really important we

got the settlement, but for the big picture, let's really see important the ninth circuit made it clear, at least in the ninth circuit this idea that sexual assault is an incident in the service just won't stand. it's been there for possible lawsuit against sexual offender in the military, at least eroded. as i said, a crack in the door. so hopefully what we're going to see is more accountability for those who violate the norms we have in the military when they sexually assault other military members. >> this comes down, if the military's paying this out, it's taxpayers who are on the hook for paying these damages for sexual assault cases much in the way, say, a company or a municipality would be on the hook. do you think this will affect how the military approaches tackling sexual assault?

>> well, i hope so. that's a great point. a lot of the reform and progress we've seen in the civilian world is because people can bring actions either through title 7 or direct lawsuits against employers. in the military, immune to that. pressure that comes from civil litigation. civil litigation is a driver of change, and that's what we really hope to see. >> the most recent d.o.d. data we've seen is pretty discouraging, because it shows sexual assault is a growing problem in the military. numbers weren't going up because victims feel comfortable reporting it either. that's not a silver lining here. it's actually that fewer people are opting to report as incidents are going up. why do you think this is happening? why is this so hard for the military to figure out? >> an excellent point. 36,000 men and women are sexually assaulted by military estimates last year.

that's a record high. that's despite billions of dollars being spent, years of promises and one of the reasons is there's been a culture of denial and a culture of disbelief in the military that this is a problem. so even though their data shows there is a systemic rot within the military when it comes to sexual assault, the leadership hasn't committed to tackling the issue. while we see sexual assault numbers go up we're seeing prosecutions going down and convictions going down. while we have a record high of sexual assaults, we see sexual salt prosecutions drop by over half. >> don, we spoke a lot around the decision in 2020 by the supreme court that ended up saying the military was overruled. right? that it said rape cases that happened before 2006 could be

prosecuted. are we seeing here a trend, do you think, increasingly where civilian courts are intervening in the military justice system, or are these just one-off cases when it comes to sexual assault? >> well, unfortunately they're one-offs. what we have seen in some courts willing to step in. the supreme court stepped in, in that case as you discussed. ninth circuit very well addressed this issue, but a deference to military leadership in the way military handles things by civilian courts and that's something that really also needs to be dealt with. the courts need to understand there's nothing unique about military sexual assault versus assault at ibm or anyplace else. sexual assault is sexual assault and they're making sure justice is done. should ynot get military deference. >> thank you for joining us.

almost $1 million taxpayers dollars awarded to this colonel. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, brianna. rahal? >> now to some other headlines watching this hour. starting in georgia. a police officer got quite a surprise pulling over a speeding vehicle. caught the dodge charger going over 96 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour zone. when the officer approached the charger he quickly recognized the person behind the wheel as henry county sheriff's chief deputy michael yarborough. confirming to cnn, yes, he was on duty at the time of the incident, but was not driving with his lights or sirens on. also, the four indigenous children found in the amazon after 40 days now released from the hospital. ages between 1 and 13 found last month in the amazon rain forest following an aircraft that killed their mother and the pilot. they have been receiving

treatment at a colombian military hospital sis found on june 9th. a 79-year-old man hospitalized early thursday morning after being attacked by a nearly seven-foot alligator. this happened at a golf course community in naples, florida. take a look. the man told deputies on a walk in a golf course community where he lives when an alligator came up and bit him in the leg. >> i'm bleeding. i don't know how bad it is. it's profuse and there's a lot of skin lift off that i can see. probably some muscle. figure it out if i can walk and stay healthy. >> bitten by an alligator. >> incredible. has a sense of humor after that. according to the sheriff's office responding deputies rendered aid and the man flown on a medical helicopter for treatment. i don't know if i would have the same sense of humor after being

bit i by an alligator. incredible he did. >> incredible. new details about the death of lisa marie presley. how she died. a newly released medical examiner's report reveals the late daughter of elvis presley passed away from a complication of a common weight-loss surgery. i want to bring in cnn health reporter jacqueline howard on this story. she'd had, jacqueline, bariatric surgery years earlier. tell us how exactly this contributed to her death. >> that's right, brianna. now we learn from this medical examiner's report that after that previous surgery, presley experienced a lot of scar tissue buildup. a lot of adhesions. ultimately leading to what has been determined to be her cause of death. a small bowel obstruction. so specifically we're talking about the medical examiner's report says cause of death was a

stang gstrangulated buildup abl to block off some blood flow causing this cause of death. now, often we do hear of scar tissue occurring after surgeries for some patients that might need additional surgeries to have the scar tissue removed. that's to reduce a risk of a more serious complication happening like an obstruction like this one. >> such sad news. also something that i think a lot of people who vsh had that surgery will want to pay attention to. thank you so much. rahal. thank you. as actors at the picket lines, busy seeing a summer splump. at theme parks. what's causing a dip in attendance at florida's theme parks? we'll be right back. chase freedom unlimited. so, if you're off the racking... ...or crab cracking, you're cashbacking. cashshback on flapjacks, baby backs, or tacos at the taco shack. nanah, i'm working on my six pack. switch to a king suite- or book a silent retreat.

it is called the most magical place on earth, but disneyworld may be appears with a disappearing act of the long lines. they have thinned out dramatically. it's an odd occurrence, given the travel season is one of the busiest times of the year. nathaniel meyerson is looking into it. first, explain the what. what are we seeing in terms of attendance. >> this is not something we would expect to see, especially during the peak travel summer, but disneyworld attendance is down. parks attendance has dropped 23% this quarter from a year ago.

that means shorter wait times, dropping from about 41 minutes for the average ride last year on july 4th, down to 33 minutes. so, look. that's great news for riders who want to get into animal kingdom, but not great for disney. >> i think some people might think could this have anybody to do with the very public feud between governor desantis and disney. so what do you think? >> it has to do more with higher prices. prices have jumped from about $159 for a one-day ticket up to $189. that's deterring some customers from going. extreme weather and extreme heat is also making a difference. folks have so many more options right now. for example, disney said the cruise business was doing really well. maybe some folks are hopping on cruises instead of going to

theme parks. >> i think there's more air conditions on cruises. understandably people want to escape the heat. thank you, nathaniel. hollywood on strike, as actors join writers on the picket line. the trickle-down effect could cost states billions. and also an impact of what you are watching on tv and the movies. this is "cnn news central." age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss and if you're taking a multi-vitamin alone, you may be missing a critical piece... preservision. eservision areds 2 ntains the only clinically proven nutrient formula recommended by the nationalye institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. preservision is backed by 20 years of clinical studies. so ask your doctor about adding preservision
