♪ collapsed on the court. lebron james' 18-year-old son bronny is now in stable condition after suffering cardiac arrest during basketball practice. we're going to bring you the very latest on what we're learning about the young star. and, quote, they threw rocks at it. what a group of migrants is telling cnn about how they were treated with the texas national guard as the legal showdown escalates between the justice department and the state of
12:02 pm
texas over floating water barriers. and a massive amount of material officials have wrapped up the search of the home of the gilgo beach serial killing suspect, after literally digging in the back yard for clues. the latest on what they have found, just ahead. ♪ we are following these major developing stories and many more coming in right here to "cnn news central." we begin, though, with bronny james in stable condition after suffering cardiac arrest. this happened while the 18-year-old son of lebron james was practicing yesterday. the family said the medical staff were able to treat the young basketball star, take him to the hospital, where he is now out of the icu where he was originally and in stable condition. the 11th-ranked college recruit
12:03 pm
in the nation committed to southern california just back in may. cnn's natasha chen joins us now from outside the athletic facility at usc. natasha, what do we know? what's the latest on his condition and how this happened? >> reporter: well, jim, there are not a lot of details coming out of the james family or out of usc. but what we do know, this happened herety galen center behind me where the basketball team practices yesterday morning around the 9:00, 10:00 hour there was a call about an unconscious player. we know from a statement from the james family that bronny james suffered a cardiac arrest but the usc medical staff were able to treat him right away. take him to a hospital, where, as you said, now, he is out of the icu in stable condition. so that is good news. part of the james family statement, i want to read to you here, it says lebron and savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the usc medical and athletic staff for their
12:04 pm
incredible work and dedication and safety of their athletes. now, the james family was just seen in public about two weeks ago at the espy awards where james was receiving an award standing up there with his children, that he called his greatest blessing. and he specifically referenced his two sons, saying how proud he is of these two young men standing there on their own basketball journey. lebron james saying no matter how far they choose to go, they're not cheating this game and that inspires me. this is actually the second time in about a year that the usc staff had to jump into action like this, just last july, ford vince, a junior, also had a collapse here in practice. in that situation, he took about half a year or more to recover. and wasn't actually cleared to play again in this january. so, the facts that we're hearing about bronny james now being out of the icu and stable is good
12:05 pm
news. we will be tracking this to find out more about his brother process, jim. >> no question, we only wish him and his family the best. natasha chen, thanks. joining knee "usa today" sports analyst christine brennan. it's hard to think of a more famous and talented, really, professional athlete's child than bronny james, right? we've seen him before, but, boy, bronny james, from a very young age, we knew he was good. and now this has happened here. just a horrible moment for the family. tell us what you've been hearing. >> jim, yeah, you described it well. we watched bronny grow up in front of our eyes, as we watched his dad grow up in front of our eye. lebron is 38, he's 20 years ago older than his son. we've watched them both grow up. in many ways a feeling, a
12:06 pm
kindred spirit with them that might not occur with other athletes. lebron staying he would like to stick around long enough to play with his son or sons, bronny being the older of the two, jim, that hits home. so many people can think of their son and daughter. tiger woods has talked about his two kids playing sports. his son playing golf, his daughter playing other sports, he wants to be able to play with them. i think it's the same thing with lebron which makes it all the more poignant and meaningful for so many americans today. >> tell us about lebron's relationship with his sons, too, right? he talks about his family all the time, clearly dedicated. he zmgdid something that i can imagine as a kid, he coached, i can imagine, you show up at the gym, there's lebron james coaching the team. he's a family man, but, man,
12:07 pm
basketball at the center of it. >> right, there are so many paths that lebron could have taken himself, being so young, so famous, top of "sports illustrated," go to the pros right from akron, ohio. and he's never been in trouble. we've never heard stories about him. the worst thing lebron jim may have done is say he wanted to take his talents to south beach which is nothing in the scheme of behavior problems or issues that we've seen certainly from other athletes. especially those athletes who have had so much happen so soon in their lives. lebron got it. he understood he needed to have adults around him. he understood he was a role model out of northern ohio for the nba. he has a special presence about him. such poise. and he's passed that on to his kids, his two sons, and then his daughter, with his wife, of course. he's understood the meaning of sports. the meaning of role models. the understanding that you're
12:08 pm
going to be watched as young kids. he's instilled that on his two boys in particular, of course, his daughter is younger. that's what we've seen, that's why there's a sense, wow, lebron loves to be a dad. he loves to be a pro basketball player, but he really loves to be a dad. as you said, coaching his son, also just being there to cheer them on. >> goodness, let's hope he and his wife, the whole family gets good news on the recovery. christine brennan, thank you for coming on. >> boris. another big story we're tracking today, could we see a third indictment of former president donald trump today? a federal grand jury who could vote on the indictment does not appear to be meeting yet. we're watching closely activity around the courthouse in washington. former police commissioner and trump ally bernie kerik just turns over thousands of pages of
12:09 pm
records, he alongside former trump attorney rudy giuliani led the trump campaign's probe into false claims of voter fraud. national security reporter zach cohen joins us now, zach, as we watch for activity from the grand jury, what can you tell us about other developments in the investigation? >> yeah, boris, there's a lot of activity, prosecutors, as you mentioned, just received hundreds of new documents from bernie kerik who is acting as really an investigator on behalf of rudy giuliani at the time. and kerik's job is to find any testified that could back up the baseless claims of widespread voter fraud that we know ztrump and his allies were pushing. . and what wee found is baseless evidence of anything that trump was pushing. it's unclear how this fits into the investigation itself. we know trump has already been
12:10 pm
told he's a target in the probe. we'll keep an eye on that, we're learning new details that jack smith is exploring, he's asking officials about a february 2020 oval office meeting. this happened months before the oval office meeting of voter machines. they were talking about how they were going to protect the 2020 election, trump was apparently so impressed he wanted them to hold a press conference so he could take credit for the work they were doing. obviously, a stark contrast to fraud and venezuela hacking voting machines that he was pushing a few months later. really an interesting process there and interesting that prosecutors are asking about it. >> thank you for the reporting. let's talk more with renato ma marinati, he's a former prosecutor.
12:11 pm
the plans to overturn the 2020 election, does not appear they're meeting today, there's little activity that they're at the federal courthouse. what do you read into that? >> well, i think, for example, some of this more recent testified that has come up obviously is giving jack smith some additional work to do. for example, kerik was acting as anniversary, and i think we just heard a moment ago, there's a lot of documents that he collected as far as that effort. even if he found absolutely nothing, and i'm not surprised given that the claims trump made was baseless, you know, his -- the documents he found, his statements what he was communicating to rudy giuliani. and ultimately what giuliani was communicating to trump, tells prosecutors what was trump's state of mind at the time. it will help disprove claims that he had a genuine belief that the election didn't go his orr or that it did go his way, that he had actually won. it goes to disprove claims that
12:12 pm
he had an actual legitimate case to be made in the court. so very important evidence. obviously, the case like this, the jury gets it right. >> to that question of trump's state of mind, ohio does that february 2020 meeting at the white house about election security fit into that, when donald trump was considering having his administration officials hold a press conference to talk about the greatness of election security, the great steps they had taken to secure the presidential election in the united states? >> yeah, it's an interesting -- interesting question. i mean, i think that the extent to which trump wanted to go out and make false statements to the public, you know, if that is in fact what the inquiry of this is, in other words that smith can -- has testimony, i'm sure he does, from people at the meeting, for example, trump was going to be making claims to the public that are contrary to what he's being told privately, i think that would be, you know, an argument that he understood
12:13 pm
what the truth was. and he was willing to lie to everyone. and even though lying to public in and of itself is not a crime, can be evidence of his state of mind and the sort of things jurors are going to find persuasive when they're considering whether or not trump a view of the election. >> thank you as always for your perspective. >> thank you. >> of course, jim. coming up we take you live to the border where the legal battle over floating barriers is escalating and we're learning more about the treatment of some migrants. plus, trevor reed, an american freed from russia in a prisoner swap was just wounded while fighting against russia in ukraine. we're going to have the latests on his condition just ahead. on the top of the pile! oh. ononly pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. . liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

12:17 pm
a standoff over the border. texas is refusing to remove its floating barriers in the rio grande, even as the federal government moves forward with a
12:18 pm
lawsuit. governor greg abbott is vowing to fight the biden administration in court over the barrier meant to deter migrants. it's about 1,000 feet long, and it's anchored to the bottom of the waterway. the justice department says it's not only dangerous but illegal. cnn's rosa flores joins us in eagle pass, near the border. what is going on there? >> reporter: let me show you, the property that i'm on belongs to the ubina family, they have about 250 acres. take a look at the access gates towards the river. they're blocked off, they say it's like the state of texas, you can see the concertina wire, the berm of dirt. and as we pan over towards the river, you'll see two sets of concertina wire, and beyond that, boris, you'll see the border buoys. this are the buoys at the center
12:19 pm
of the legal showdown between the u.s. doj and the state of texas. the u.s. doj alleging that the state of texas deployed these buoys unlawfully. saying they retained the buoys without obtaining the proper permits from the army corps of engineers. and there could be diplomatic issues with mexico. mexico top diplomat complaining to washington, saying that this violates two international treaties between these two countries. and mexico also suggesting that they might investigate this, to make sure that these buoys are on u.s. soil and not on mexican soil. now governor greg abbott digging in his heels saying that texas has sovereign authority to deploy these buoys, to keep these buoys where they are, to stop illegal immigration. but here's the thing, it is not stopping illegal immigration. we have video of migrants who have been skirting this buoy,
12:20 pm
walking along the concertina wire. and u.s. doj's filing also addressed the humanitarian concerns. take a look at this video, we were on the property when a pregnant woman was being rendered aid. we talked to the ubinas, they tell us they witnessed this. there was a woman on the risks on the second strand of concertina wire. and they tells that you law enforcement had to cut two layers of concertina wires and they had to cut the chain link fence to bring the woman to an ambulance to provide aid. now, boris, those are the concerns that both the property owners here in eagle pastel us the past, tell us they're concerned about because they want the dying to stop. and the point that they make, whether it's.border buoys or the concertina wire, all of this is
12:21 pm
not stopping the flow of migration. and so while the u.s. doj and texas duke it out in court, the problem here continues. so the big question is why? why continue with this controversy, when it's really not stopping the problem. boris. >> rosa flores, thank you for painting that picture for us, jim. well, a number of recent developments along the border, you still have that standoff between texas and doj over the fle floating barrier, but you also have reports from cnn about guards posted along the border and the way they're treating migrants. cases of migrants pushed back in the water told not to give them drinking water in scorching heat. lots to discuss with did the democratic congressman cuellar, a member of the house appropriations committee. congressman, thank you for joining us today. >> it's a pleasure being here with you. >> now, first, to some of these
12:22 pm
reports that we're hearing about treatment of migrants at the border, not getting water, being denied water. also in some cases, we've been told, pushed back into the water. you have seen cases like this before? and what's your reaction to hearing them? >> well, you know, i think what they're doing is they're trying to -- the state is trying to show strong border security. but you don't show strong border security by treating people in a way that's, you know, just not the way we treat people with dignity. kind of reminds me of the prior president where he would divide the mothers from kids. so, let's not confuse, i ask the state not to confuse strong border security with treating people the way allegations are. again, they're allegations we have to look at it. i mean, they're trying different things. i can tell you this, look, let's put one thing in perspective, texas has a 1,241-mile border.
12:23 pm
the buoys are only about 1,000 feet. that's less than a quarter of a mile. so, i think what the governor's trying to do is just do something symbolic. because if you have 1,241 miles and you've got 1,000 feet of buoys, that kind of tells you what the big picture is. >> there's a court case today, and we did a fact-check yesterday on the number of encounters at the border actually being down some 30%, including since the expirations or the lifting, rather, of title 42. one of the reasons for that or many credit, is this biden policy that has turned folks away who went through third countries. now, you have a judge who has overturned that policy. what's your reaction to that court decision i mean, do you think that policy was the right way to go? what impact do you think it will have? >> yeah. if you look at the recent why
12:24 pm
the numbers have gone down, they've gone down because of two things. one, mexico at one time had about 140,000 national guard and other people at their southern border with guatemala. the second thing were, the policies that the biden administration imposed where they were saying, hey, we are going to provide you incentives to come in the right way. but we're going to provide disincentives for not coming in the right way. and i support the policy, in fact, i've been asking the administration to do this the last two years. since they implemented a policy, mexico has done it a bit more the numbers have gone down about 30%. last month, 99,000, which is the lowest since february of 2021, the first month that president biden has been there. so, again, it's knowing how to do border security in a way that you still treat the migrants with respect and dignity.
12:25 pm
>> we've just learned that the doj is going to appeal that court decision, but in preefr dec previous decisions by this judge, the appeals decision. and from folks who come through or come from another country other than mexico, do you envision then another influx, a larger influx, an increase at the southern border? >> well, we don't know, we know that was a big piece of the biden policy that has worked well. and look, i support the third country transition, you know, the work that they're doing. because, think about it, if you're coming in, let's say, from the middle east or from af africa, or swromewhere, then yo go through europe and you fly over here. if you're trying to get away from credible fear. you got away from credible fair when you pass a uk country or you go into some country that's
12:26 pm
outside the u.s. if they want to come inside the u.s., that's one thing but if you're claiming credible fear, you're passing countries where your fear is gone. that's why the transit country policy is something that i supported. and i hope that -- it probably will go up to the supreme court. and i hope that the supreme court will look at this favorably. >> we'll be watching. congressman cuellar, thank you for joining us this afternoon. >> thank you so much. >> boris. he was detained in russia for nearly three years before being freed in a prisoner swap last year. now u.s. marine veteran trevor reed has been wounded while fighting against russia in ukraine. and later, almost 70 years after his murder, emmett till and his mother are being honored with a national monument. stay with us, we're back in just mo moments.

the state department has now confirmed that trevor reed, a marine veteran who was wrongly detained in russia for nearly three years before being leased in a prisoner swap was wounded while fighting in ukraine. the state department emphasized that reed was not fighting on behalf of the u.s. government. let's get to the pentagon and cnn's natasha chen is following the details for us, so, natasha,
12:32 pm
where is trevor reed at the moment. >> reporter: boris, we understand trevor reed is in germany receiving medical treatments. we don't know how or when he was transported but we do know he was transported to a local hospital in kyiv before being evacuated to an ngo in germany. we don't know the same of this organization, and we don't know what reed's condition is at this moment, whether his injuries are very serious or not but we do know this was not an operation, of course, carried out by the u.s. military, even though trevor reed is a former u.s. marine. in fact, the u.s. is taking great pains to emphasize the fact that reed was over in ukraine on a personal endeavor. this is not any kind of u.s.-sponsored operation. he was there as a private citizen. the state department reiterated today u.s. citizens should not be going to ukraine at all, let alone participate in the fighting.
12:33 pm
reed was released in a prisoner swam with a convicted russian smuggler back in april 2022, after serving three years in a russian prison. and he has been mostly in the united states since that time. he was just on our air, actually, as recent as may. and he's been tweeting in the last several weeks, most recently at the end of june. it's not known exactly when he went to ukraine. but, look, the administration is obviously concerned about this. a u.s. official to tell us there are ongoing situations with regard to other hostages currently in russian custody. and it may not be the best look for trevor reed to be fighting in ukraine. so, they're, of course, concerned about how this could affect ongoing relations between the u.s. and russia when it comes to other prisoners. the u.s. official emphasized this is something that an individual did of their own volition and should be treated separately from the negotiation
12:34 pm
of paul whelan and evan gershkovich, two still held by the russians. we're still awaiting trevor reed's condition and we're told he's in germany receiving medical care. >> natasha, thank you so much. jim. happening right now, president biden is rolling out new steps to gain access to mental health care. it would close a loophole and require insurance providers to provide medical benefits that mirror the physical health benefits in their plans. jeremy diamond is at the white house. jeremy, that sounds significant because everyone's dealt with insurance companies who sometimes make it difficult to make claims for certain things. you can explain exactly how this would work and when it would take effect? >> reporter: the bottom line, jim, the administration says insurance companies don't cover by and large mental health care the same way they cover health care. people are more than likely to have to go out of network as one
12:35 pm
example when seeking mental health care as they do with physical health care. the president is speaking right now on this topic, one of the things he said, look, mental health care is health care. i don't know what the difference is between a broken arm and health care, they're both health care at the end of the day. the new proposed rule that the president is rolling out is seeking to establish more parity between the physical and mental health services that private insurance companies provide. it's going to require them to evaluate their insurance plans right now by looking at certain benchmarks such as provider's in-network for capacity for health care. and going to approve the plans that they provide. including expanding the number of mental health care providers that are in network for that plan. and also reducing red tape, such as prior authorizations that certain people face when they try to get mental health care. now, this addresses this broad
12:36 pm
issue of mental health care which president biden includes as part of his unity agenda during the previous state of the union address. and it's certainly something that the president hopes will appeal to americans across the country and he hopes addresses a serious and much needed problem right now, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, when we see mental health care issues rising across the country. >> goodness, gun violence, drug abuse, a whole host, even kids' social media use it's so front and center. s jeremy diamond at the white house. boris. coming up, hunter biden is set to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors, why they're sending a letter to the presiding judge. later, history made in the pool, superstar katie ledecky just tied onone of michael phel' recordrds. we'll have the details in just a few minutes.

have you seen me scramble? one day before hunter biden is set to plead guilty to a pair of federal tax misdemeanors, house republicans are urging the judge in the case to consider potential political interference claims made by two irs whistle-blowers. an appearance before the house ways and means committee those whistle-blowers allege that the probe of the president biden's son was tainted by political interference. cnn's sara murray joins us now. what do we know about the material and how might that impact the judge's
12:42 pm
decisionmaking? >> well, look, it's up to the judge to accept the plea deal and hunter biden's sentence and we expect prosecutors to ask for probation. what we see from jason smith, the chair of the ways house and means committee pushing the judge essentially to say please take note of the irs whistle-blowers, here's what smith said in his letter to the judge, the committee member has been made aware that the defendant appears to have benefited from political interference which calls into question the propriety of the u.s. attorney general's office. they go on to say in interest of full transparency for all citizens, it's critical for the court to have this evaluation when evaluating the plea agreement. it would be an extraordinary move to see a judge reject the plea deal but for republicans to get their side of the story into the mix. even though we've seen david weis, the u.s. attorney in this case, write a number debunking
12:43 pm
the irs claims whistle-blowers have made, even saying he's willing to come up and testify in the next couple of months because he wants to set the record straight. >> we'll be watching this closely, sara murray. jim. here's something we're watching president biden just signed a proclamation creating a national monument honoring emmett till and his mother mamie till mobley. it's significant to his life story. till was just 14 years old when he was beaten and shot to death for allegedly whistling at a white woman who later recanted her story. an all-white jury convicted his killers, but till's murder help galvanize the civil rights movement. cnn spoke to emmett till's significance of this. >> it's an exciting time and one that's well overdue.
12:44 pm

the latest now in new york's gilgo beach serial murder case. the d.a. said a day long search of rex heuermann's home is over. he said investigators obtained a
12:50 pm
trove of evidence that will, quote, take some time to review. at the same time, a former escort who went out with him in 2015 said she at least is convinced that he is the serial killer. she said they're date was going fine until something really strange happened. >> it didn't get weird until he asked me if i was a true crime fan. he had said do you know about the gilgo beach murders? >> he brought it up? >> yeah. he said, he said to me exactly, do you know about the gilgo beach murders and i was like, yeah, i'm from long island. everybody from long island knows about them. you know what i mean. and that is when he started talking about it. but here is the thing. when he brought it up, his whole demeanor changed. he sat up straighter, he had like a smirk on his face. he seemed almost like too excited to talk about it and
12:51 pm
then once he did start talking about it, it didn't seem like a true crime fan who just knows information they've seen on tv or read. it seemed like someone who was reliving it. >> wow. that is frightening. jean casarez is here with more on the investigation. did the d.a. share anything about what was recovered at the home? >> reporter: he spoke a lot and there were a lot of questions. 12 days of collecting potential evidence. but i want to show you what is happening right now. look behind me. it looks like it is just routine city maintenance, right. they're installing a camera up there because there is going to be 24-hour police presence at this home for some time. they do not want this home disturbed at all. and the district attorney, as he was talking about what was collected, he used words like just an immense amount of items were collected. and then he said that they have
12:52 pm
to be catalogued and then they have to be analyzed and they're going into the hands of the task force. but beyond that the forensic experts have to get involved to test this evidence. he said they're looking for trace evidence. they're looking for dna. they're looking for hairs out of that home. and that they collected everything, it was very cluttered home, they said. so there was so much that they had to look at. now as far as the backyard, he said there was sonar and they did that work. they didn't find anything. but he did say there needs to be an analysis of trace evidence from that search. so, then they kept asking about the vault. reporters kept asking. what did you find in the vault? it was confirmed 279 firearms were found. but that is not necessarily the cause of death. it is homicidal violence and these were remains that were found but he said there were other things in the vault that were collected in the basement. but he wouldn't say what.
12:53 pm
now i asked the question about mere ard bernard barns who is the fourth victim. he has not been charged with her murder. but i asked what about the hair found on her body, on her remains, is there testing of that? what do you know? listen to his answer. it is interesting. >> this investigation is continuing with regard to maureen barnes as well as other as pecks of the case and that is being done in the grand jury or through the grand jury process. so i can't talk about that. >> is that hair being forensically looked at in a more sophisticated way? >> there is testing going on with regard to the hairs that were mentioned. >> reporter: so he mentioned a grand jury in conjunction with that fourth victim. and remember last week they said he's a prime suspect in her

murder. now one last thing, they don't want the public walking around here and the police have been here all day alerting the media to spread the word. if you are caught just mulling around, looking at the house, standing in the middle of the street, you're going to be issued a summons, because they want this to return to be a quiet residential neighborhood. jim. >> it will be hard to do. jean casarez, thank you so much. boris. so skittles is rolling out a new flavor and it is blah. that is next. hawaii was too expensive so i brought it here. you know witith priceline you could actually take that trip for less than all this. i made a a horrible mistake. ♪ go to your happy price ♪ ♪ priceline ♪ how white do you think your teeth really are? let's try the tissue test. ooof, still yellow. whitening toothpaste can only do so much. there's toothpaste white, and there's crest 3d whitestrips white. so much whiter! crest.
