"cnn this morning" continues right now. hunter biden set to plead guilty. investigators are calling the plea deal a sweetheart deal. >> prosecutors are expected to recommend no jail time. the judge will have the final say. >> it's striking because of the magnitude of this moment. trevor reed, the former u.s. marine freed in a prisoner swop was injured fighting in ukraine. >> there is deep concern within the administration about the

potential effect of this because negotiations are so difficult. >> bronny james suffered a cardiac arrest. >> he was released from the icu quickly. that's a good sign. >> the basketball community is scared to death. >> a lot of endorsement deals. >> his father telling "the athletic" he can play alongside his son. that may be affected by what happened. the florida keys are facing an unprecedented heat wave with ocean temperatures of 100 degrees now threatening coral reefs. >> they are close to their maximum limit. >> all these problems are scary for a lot of us. police completing their search of gilgo beach murder suspect rex heuermann's home after 12 days. >> investigators collected a

massive amount of items. >> with regard to hair fibers, dna, brood, we have to await the results. good morning, everyone. as you can see there's a lot going on this morning. we're glad you're with us on "cnn this morning." a federal judge delivering a major blow to the biden administration blocking its new asylum policy. border crossings have plummeted since the rollout of that controversial measure which largely bars migrants who pass through another country from seeking asylum in the u.s. the ruling is on hold for 14 days. the doj says it plans to appeal. it's also, we should point out, another legal setback for president biden. this has pretty serious implications. walk us through that. >> the administration has been facing legal hurdles from both ends of the spectrum from republicans and immigrant advocates and the latter in this case who sued against this rule. it was immigrant advocates who put forward this lawsuit saying that the administration should

not be using this asylum rule and likening it to one that was used under the trump administration and similarly blocked. so, again, what this does is that it largely bars migrants who transit through other countries to seek asylum in the united states if they hadn't already tried to seek refuge elsewhere. there are many, if not all migrants who come through different countries like mexico and guatemala to try to seek asylum in the united states. it barred a lot of them from having that opportunity marking a decades long departure from a decades long protocol. take a listen to what the white house press secretary said just yesterday. >> the department of justice will appeal the decision and seek to extend the stay and as we have said multiple times our border enforcement plan works, it's a deterrent.

we have seen it working. and so, again, nothing has changed, and, as i said, the department of justice will work to extend the stay. >> reporter: now as you heard from the white house press secretary officials say the policy had helped drive down the border numbers. of course it's one of many measures they're using. there's anxiety as to what happens next. the justice department has already filed that appeal late yesterday afternoon. will this be in effect end of the month or not? >> this policy is similar to the trump administration policy. something a lot of democrats didn't like and criticized the biden administration mayorkas for this and mayorkas will testify before congress after months of impeachment threats

against him. what do you think we'll see? >> reporter: he will be in front of a key committee where it would originate should house republicans move forward with that. he will be drilled on all of these issues relating to the u.s./mexico border. house republicans have tried to shore up their case against majyorkas starting to roll out its report. there has been hesitation whether or not they should move forward but there will be fireworks over the handling of the u.s./mexico border. a letter was sent to be prepared with data on border arrests and deportation so already setting the tone for what will be a fiery hearing. >> fiery it will be. appreciate it. house speaker kevin mccarthy

issued his most explicit threat yet on launching an impeachment inquiry against president biden. listen. >> more of this continues to unravel, it rises to the level of impeachment inquiry. that provides that the american public has a right to know, and this allows congress to get the information to be able to nope the truth. >> president biden was seen laughing off a question from a reporter about what mccarthy said about a potential impeachment inquiry. lauren fox joins us. good morning. what do you know? >> reporter: good morning, poppy. house speaker kevin mccarthy continues to inch right up to opening that impeachment inquiry without actually formally announcing that he is doing it, and that's because he's still talking to his members behind closed doors. he had a meeting last night with leadership trying to emphasize the fact opening an impeachment inquiry is different than voting

on impeachment. his argument to members both behind closed doors and publicly is that an impeachment inquiry gives you more tools to give interviews to try and get some of those documents that republicans want to get in order to make the case against joe biden. of course there will be trepidation among some members who still don't know if there is a direct tie to be had between hunter biden's business dealings and the president himself. >> i don't know that we've made the case for a formal impeachment inquiry yet. i do want the committee digging into this. i think the facts that we're seeing are alarming. >> the speaker has been clear if, in fact, the facts dictate, we'll do that. the advantage to that point. >> when is it going to be?

>> reporter: of course some members won in biden districts. when pressed on whether or not this was good for his re-election bluntly said i don't know yet and that is because there is still so much more to unfold ahead. it's hard to know how this will play out. house republicans are expected to gather for a conference meeting today off campus at 9:00 a.m. the expectation this could come up despite the fact they have other issues to address. the government runs out of funding end of september. >> there's that. lauren fox, thanks. in a matter of hours hunter biden will be in court in delaware where he is expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanors. elie honig, former assistant

u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, is with us now. walk us through the charges and what we can expect to see in court today. >> let's focus on the facts that we know for sure. hunter biden is expected to plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay income taxes. in 2017-2018 he made $1.5 million in income and owed but did not pay in excess of $100,000 in taxes. willful means it was not an accident. some are handled as felonies. this is a misdemeanor. his sentence should be probation, no jail time. this is somewhere in between. hunter biden is charged with an

obscure firearms charge that says a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol cannot possess a firearm. he doesn't have to plead guilty to that. if he stays straight, it will be did i verpted, dismissed. this particular statute is almost never actually charged against anyone in the federal system. the judge is going to ask hunter biden, do you understand all the rights? he will say yes and then will have to say under oath in court, i'm guilty. here is what i did that makes me guilty. the important thing to watch for the judge has to accept the deal. the vast majority of times when you have a deal between the government and defendant will be accepted. >> in terms of the discretion this is bringing up these late night issues that have reared their head.

the claims made by irs whistle-blowers, so this is going to impact things. they're saying hold on a minute here. this was handled differently. >> two of the irs agents have testified in front of congress and the gist of what they've said the u.s. attorney here was constantly hamstrung, limited, and marginalized by doj. they said he was held back from doing the case fully. a longtime federal prosecutor served under administrations of both parties is a trump nominee. got the nomination with support of both the democratic senators and joe biden, president biden, when he took over in 2021 left david weiss in place. he has written a letter saying i have been granted ultimate authority over this matter. i was in charge. but the question is did he head off any avenues of investigation, which brings up this. these are the questions that ultimately david weiss has agreed to testify in front of congress. the question is, first of all,

why did this take five years? >> i know you've been asking this for a long time. >> was this slow played? did he, in fact, have unfettered authority? he said he did. were there any investigative avenues that were cut off? that's not yet been addressed. >> we've learned a couple of former trump administration officials met with the special counsel about trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, chris krebs, richard donoghue. what does this tell you? >> this goes to intent. chris krebs was in charge of cyber security. he said publicly this was secure and then was fired. richard donoghue was a high-ranking doj official and he, let's remember what he testified when he went in front of the january 6 committee. let's take a quick listen to that. >> you also noted that mr. rosen said to mr. trump, quote, doj

can't and won't snap its fingers. how did the president respond to that, sir? >> very quickly and said that's not what i'm asking you to do. just say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the republican congressmen. >> just say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the rest of the congressmen. he has a handwritten note. that's really important to prosecutors. >> appreciate it as always. rudy giuliani is conceding in a court filing that he made defameatory comments to resolve a lawsuit against him brought by ruby freeman and her daughter. former president trump and his then personal attorney giuliani says giuliani targeted them after the 2020 election by tweeting this surveillance

video. giuliani also repeated the lies when he answered questions by the january 6th committee. >> ruby freeman and freeman moss and one other gentleman passing around usb ports as if they're vials of heroin or cocaine. it's obvious to anyone who is a criminal investigator or prosecutor they are engaged in illegal testimony. >> the toll those statements, false statements he's now conceding, had on their lives. >> i've lost my name and i've lost my reputation. i've lost my sense of security all because a group of people starting with number 45 and his

ally, rudy giuliani, decided to scapegoat me and my daughter. >> i don't want to go anywhere. i second get everything that i do. it's affected my life in a major way. in every way. all because of lies. >> cnn senior crime and justice reporter kaitlyn polantz, that was some of the most compelling, memorable testimony that entire committee heard and now rudy giuliani is conceding what he said wasn't true? >> yeah. poppy this is a really unusual and very really tricky move that giuliani is trying to make here in court. essentially he's trying to make this lawsuit from ruby freeman and shaye moss where they accuse him of defaming them, trying to make it go away. the way he's doing that he's conceding that, yes, he did make these false statements about these women after the 2020 election. he's also saying that he

acknowledges those statements can be defamatory, that they were defamatory, but he's trying to avoid his own accountability here. his statements mean he shouldn't necessarily have to pay damages to them because his statements alone might not be what was hurting these women. what he was saying after the 2020 election is still protected speech, first amendment constitutionally protected speech. this is a highly unusual filing, and it's the type of filing i have never seen before in a civil lawsuit. it's normally the type of thing in a criminal context but this is a lawsuit he's chasing. a judge has to look at this now. she has to determine whether this is going to be an acceptable way to resolve this lawsuit and also i reached out to the lawyer for ruby freeman

and shaye moss to see if it's acceptable to them as well. they had tried to make some sort of settlement with giuliani before, and it didn't amount to anything. and so how this actually factors in here at a time where giuliani is facing a lot of possibilities himself, a lot of risk with this lawsuit, how it resol that was is unclear. >> does it factor into the special counsel's investigation? we know from the reporting that you had yesterday that they now have all of these giuliani documents. >> that is going to be the question going forward. what he's doing in the filing is in a civil lawsuit. he is writing he's making these statements, for the purposes of this litigation, trying to confine it just to this case. what it means to the special counsel will be something the prosecutors will have to decide and, of course, not only do they

have all those documents from his close colleague they have sat down with rudy giuliani as investigators looking into criminal activity. he spoke to them twice. we just don't know what he told them or how that conversation went about what was said in georgia and what giuliani was saying. >> katelyn polantz, thank you for the reporting. elie honig is with us. thoughts? >> rudy giuliani is trying to cut his losses here, it is remarkable to see someone admit, yes, what i said was false. one of his most despicable lies. you have a lot of range but i cannot conceive how you justify attacking innocent civilian poll workers falsely like this.

>> that he said it but he won't concede the statements caused damages, hey, you can't prove that what i said made your life a living hell. >> he's going to blame other people. well, other people said similar things about you. this is a desperate last-second gasp to try to limit his own liability here. it's astonishing. >> lebron james' son is in stable condition after he collapsed and suffered cardiac arrest. dr. sanjay gupta to explain what may have happened. and we're now learning the u.s. marine veteran had made his way to ukraine to fight in the war there. what we know about his condition ahead. you get roped in with phone offers, that bind you to a 3-year device contract. break free with t-mobibile! introducing go5g plus,

he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. this is after he lost consciousness in basketball practice at the university of southern california. his family says the 18-year-old is in stable condition. he is to longer in the icu. oscar jiminez joins us now. has the family spoken about what they think may have caused this cardiac arrest? >> they haven't. that's the major question. it could implicate the future of bronny, this bright, young star, the son of lebron james. as they screen, if this turns out it was some sort of condition that has longer implications or something very accuse, we've seen players come back from this before. right now there are more questions than answers as to the future of bronny james. this is what bronny james has been known for as of late.

it's what made the son of lebron james a mcdonald's all-american and among the newest stars at the university of southern california. it was during a practice at usc that he suddenly had a cardiac arrest. medical staff was able to treat bronny and take him to the hospital. he is now in stable condition and no longer in icu. lebron and savannah want to send their thanks and appreciation to the usc medical staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes. lebron, a very visible figure throughout bronny's journey to usc. >> it's been a constant companionship as lebron has grown up into the athlete we know him to be today. >> reaction and concern has poured in. magic johnson wrote we are praying and hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery.

damar hamlin, who suffered his own cardiac arrest during an nfl game in january, wrote something similar. here for you like you have been for me. shaquille o'neal's son who battled a heart condition that sidelined him from basketball temporarily reacted to the news on instagram commenting, no, no. there's no evidence bronny's situation is similar to his but moving forward there are still major questions surrounding what exactly happened to one of the brightest new stars in the game. >> sudden cardiac arrest and death is rare in young, competitive athletes. these cases are tragic and do occur. there are nuances. we know that based off of sex, self-identified race, sport. these cases are really quite rare. >> now as rare as they are, this is the second time in as many years at usc basketball that they've dealt with something like this.

about a year ago a forward on the team suffered a cardiac arrest and now he was treated. and months later he was able to make a comeback. so from a basketball perspective i think there are a lot of people that are hoping that can happen here as well. but obviously with so little information this is a family decision on what the long-term health implications are. we'll have to see what they are. >> omar, appreciate it. thank you. let's bring in chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. we think about you and your coverage of damar hamlin. different circumstance here. now you have another young athlete at the prime of health, right, and this happens. we know it's rare. the question now is why, right? >> that's right. i think that's what's probably happening in the hospital now. we know that he was in the intensive care unit because obviously right after a cardiac arrest they wanted to make sure he was stabilized.

but they were able to quickly do that and now it is, as you say, the question of trying to figure out what happened here. some context, going back to a study from 2015, we know that, n, rare, 6,000 to 7,000 times a year you do e these out of hosl sudden cardiac arrests in young athletes. sports involved under e age of 18, happens more as you get older. older than that, 35 years and older then you have corners of coronary arteries that can become block. that's not what this is here. it does happen, rare. >> sanjay, as we talk about car yak arrest, important to note this isn't a heart attack.

this is not what has happened here as far as we know. >> this comes up quite a bit. there are blood vessels on top of the heart called the coronary blood vessels. they supply blood flow to the heart. when you have a heart attack, you think of that more like a circulation problem. the heart muscle tissue dies and that can lead to the heart attack. with a sudden cardiac arrest, you may have an abnormality with some of the muscles of the heart or an electrical problem with the heart that allow the chambers to beat in a coordinated fashion. someone goes pulseless, they become unconscious, require defibrillation and going to the hospital. >> recovery, what does that look

like? can he get back to where he was? >> that is a big question. i think the biggest good news was how quickly he got out of the icu. with damar hamlin it was days. we have heard of players that were in longer and were able to return to play. it's too speculative. how are they going to address that? it's early to say. it's possible. we have heard of players, even college players, who then have returned and gone on to play in the nba. i think we'll have a better answer over the next several days. >> i hope you can do a little fact checking. there's a part of me who doesn't want to elevate this elon musk question whether there could be

a risk it from the covid vaccine. is there any sort of a link? >> look, i think this is going to be very low down on the list. i don't think it's an unfair question but we do know it can occur after vaccination and most likely in adolescent males. when i say rare, we're talking about runs of cases out of millions of people. .007%. the vast majority of those cases were pretty mild. did not lead to a significant medical problem and if people developed myocarditis it was within several days after the second shot of a vaccine.

so is it a possibility? it's rare. cardiomyopathy far more likely than myocarditis. again, keep in mind there were thousands of cases of sudden cardiac arrest going back to 2015, well before vaccinations were out there. >> and the virus itself could raise potential issues with your heart, in some cases more than a vaccine. sanjay, appreciate it. good to see you. the federal reserve will wrap up its two-day policy meeting later today and, of course, the big question this morning is will it end with another interest rate hike? and the marine veteran returned in a russian prisoner shop injured while fighting in ukraine. what this means potentially for other americans detained in russia. ♪ helps you stay connenected,

we have inflation growing more slowly than wages. for people at home your paychecks -- the gains in your paycheck are eaten up by gods and services. still this is still a problem for the fed. i think i'm going to be listening to september and whether there might have to be a rate hike after this one. bank of california buying pacwest instills stability. shares popping there overnight. the combined company will have the strength and market position to support the banking needs in california and opportunities for stronger financial institutions in the wake of the recent banking turmoil. this is not unexpected that you would see some of these. it shows you there are still

evacuated by an ngo to a military hospital in germany. they are stressing trevor reed was there fighting of his own volition and not fighting on behalf of the u.s. government. the government has emphasized here that this is exactly why, they are urging american citizens not to travel to ukraine at all let alone to participate in the fighting. many americans have traveled there to help ukrainian forces and trevor reed was held prisoner by the russians, wrongfully detained for nearly three years before the biden administration managed to get him out as part of a prisoner swap. still, the u.s. is saying, look, this could jeopardize potentially ongoing negotiations to try to get wrongfully

detained americans out of russia. these two issues, trevor reed fighting in ukraine and oningly diplomatic need to be treated separately because they are not in any way related. we'll see how this continues to play out and hopefully more of an update on his condition. >> appreciate it. thank you. >> some part of the ocean off the coast of florida are measuring at over 100 degrees, as hot as a hot tub. bill? >> reporter: poppy, while it feels good to us to plunge into the bathtub warm caribbean, it is devastating to almost all forms of marine life. a report on the implications as we head into the two hottest summers yet ahead. except the hours that you're sleeping. so why do we leave so much untapped pototential on the tab? this is a next level bed, for a nextxt level you. my cirircadian rhythm is kickig your circadian rhythms butt!

>> reporter: good morning, poppy. as pleasant as it might feel if you're a beachgoer dipping into these waters nowadays, it is devastating for marine life. if you are sweltering on land you get a sense what so many different sea creatures have been dealing with for the last couple of decades now, the result of all that heat trapping pollution in the atmosphere and now it is coming to fore in a most undeniable way. this is the caribbean sea here in colombia and florida is due north that way where temperatures triple digits for marine scientists is mind-boggling. they're seeing some reef communities, corals reaching 100% bleaching, 100% mortality. who knows ch of florida's reef system can survive this. and that goewell beyond something pretty to look at if you're a snorkeler. where sealife is born and begins right now, so everybody in that industry, the marine industry

and the fisheries industry is bracing. we have another couple months which will be even hotter. >> as you point out, bracing. you're there in cartagena, colombia, you do get the best assignments. sometimes they may be' depressing but they're amazing. what is it you're working on down there? >> reporter: we're doing a documentary for the whole story on whales, new science in the climate fight. we spent time with a biologist who spent years down here taking skin samples of their blubber to check hormones, maternity rates, the health of the population as they migrate from antarctica to eat to come up to the balmy waters to give birth and have calves right now. these villages that she works

in, these are for whale fishing and take a listen to her. >> the impacts are really broad and severe like for fishing, biodiversity. it's really good fishing for the first half of the year, march, april, may, but not so much at this time. in the climate change and problems on top of that, then definitely something that is uncertain and scary for a lot of us. >> bill, we're seeing these alarming headlines that in just a few years by 2025 a key ocean current could end. why does that matter? >> reporter: this is known as the amoc, a conveyor belt that

moves warm water up to maine, up to canada, and it creates the weather systems around the atlantic. we've seen it weakening as a result of greenland melting. how much salt is in the water. a lot more fresh watersheding off in the land of greenland. it could happen as early as 2025 but as late as 2090. all of the science points to we're reaching a cliff right now. the temperatures in the north year is off the charts going up, and then sea ice down at the bottom of the world where it's supposed to be winter going down at an equally startling pace. we haven't even gotten into the two hottest months of the year. >> bill, appreciate it as always. thank you. israel's supreme court
