ukraine is calling it a successful hit after a hit on crimea, and one soldier is still missing. it could cost one democrat his job, and if not, then what kevin mccarthy is to do. and cash gold bars and checks is what investigators say they found in the home of a sitting u.s. senator, a senator
7:04 am
now indicted. i'm kate bolduan and john berman. this is cnn "news central." we have breaking news, and a federal indictment, and new jersey senator bob menendez and his wife have been indicted on corruption charges. he is on the foreign relations committee and he and his wife are accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of bribes in exchange for the senator's bribes, and this is the second time he has faced channels like this. and we are getting new details and new pictures from this indictment including gold bars. cnn's kara scannell is outside of the courthouse in new york, and what are you learning?
7:05 am
>> yes, john. as you say the senator and his wife and three new jersey businessmen are indicted on corruption-related charges. what the authorities are alleging is that menendez and his wife had accepted hundreds of thousands of bribes and used that to affect influence. these are some of the details that we are learning from indictment. authorities had executed a search warrant on the senator's home in new jersey in june of 2022 and on safety deposit boxes they had, and what they found when they executed the search warrant was $480,000 cash in envelopes and stuffed in jackets, including jackets that say the senator's name on them. we also learned they had gold bars they had received from some of the businessmen and in the envelopes of cash, they found the dna of another one of the businessmen with them, and
7:06 am
another with businessmen of the menendez' and they had received payments for a home mortgage and no-show jobs and also that luxury vehicle. what we have also learned from the indictment is so far is that one of the things that they say that menendez had done in exchange for these bribes was that he had pressured department of agriculture official to help the businessmen who has this exclusive arrangement with egypt to export certified products and provided sensitive u.s. information that secretly aided government of egypt and he sought to interfere with criminal investigations into two of the businessmen and one of them jose irve and they also said that menendez tried to recommend someone to be the u.s. attorney to influence
7:07 am
investigation into one of the new jersey businessmen fred davies, and he has plead guilty and his trial is for next month, and these are some of the details that we are learning that the prosecutor say that the menendezes did to influence policy including providing u.s. sensitive information to egypt. vi i have reached out to menendezes lawyers and have not heard anything, but there is a press conference at 11:00 a.m. we should learn more then. >> yes, and to learn more of the scope of this indictment, and kara, what is interesting is that the supreme court has made it harder to convict public officials on corruption charges. you have to prove really, it is hard to prove an official action was taken and part of the reason we know this is because senator bob menendez had charges brought
7:08 am
against him, and there was a trial, a mistrial, and the charges were ultimately thrown out, and talk to us about that. >> right. so menendez was charged in 2015 in a scheme involving a friend of his that was a doctor, and charged with bribery on services fraud and a lot of the corruption-related fraud. he had gone to trial, and the jury was hung, and they could not come together with a verdict and the judge declared a mistrial. and on this case, there was a trial with the governor of virginia bob mcdonald, and in the case, the jury focused on a quid pro quo of a bribery, and they said that setting up meetings for a friend is not enough to say it is corrupt and criminal, and so they raised bar on what prosecutors would have to establish as an official act. that opinion was written by chief justice john robert, and now what we are seeing here as going through the indictment which is 39 pages, but they do
7:09 am
seem to have some specific examples that are going beyond setting up a meeting, and that is what this new hurdle is, and of course, this is going to be exactly what menendez's lawyers will challenge. >> and revealing sensitive information to the government of egypt could clear this new bar of public corruption, and it is going to be so interesting to hear the details of this news conference and we will watch alongside you, kara. kate? >> the government of ukraine is looking at the black sea fleet in crimea and they are claiming responsibility as there is black plumes of smoke and the aftermath of this smoke. debris has been scattered hundreds of meters.
7:10 am
ukrainian officials are saying that black sea could be sliced up like a salami, if they don't surrender the navy headquarters. this is coming as iraq -- as ukraine is ramping up on the russian bases. what do you know more? >> well, use heard, cut up like a salami, and now russia has two option for the black sea fleet, voluntary or self-liquidation, and this is strong language from the ukrainians and coming off of clearly some confidence here at a successful major attack on the headquarters of the black sea naval fleet, and it is not just the attack today, but also yesterday at the air base also in crimea and also an attack
7:11 am
last week in a ship repair facility, and this is key infrastructure for russia's war in ukraine and certainly this naval fleet air quarters is the biggest infrastructure head of all really, and if you are looking at this, this is ukraine's strategy to target the areas that are not only crucial for russia's war effort, but these are areas that are annexed from ukraine illegally, and ukraine is clear they plan to take it back, and so there is a lot still unfolding. >> thank you, katie, for staying on top of it for us. >> and the huge value of sevastopol here for them to try to control the black sea, because this is a port founded by catherine the great, and the location of the crimean war in
7:12 am
the 1850s and held out against the nazis in world war ii, and the russians leased it back to ukraine after the cold war in 1991, and this place, again, it is huge symbolic value to russia. with us now is ben hodges a retired lieutenant-commander of a army forces, and so, tell us about the value of ukraine to strike this force hard. >> john, crimea is the most important port of this entire war and it is the decisive terrain, and think know it is not safe or secure as long as russia is able to operate from there and russia does not care about donbas except that this war would be over, and so what your team is describing very
7:13 am
well, this is part of the counteroffensive which is more than the land operation, but the land and the sea and the special forces of all of the things that are happening, and this is the plan, the design by the ukrainian general staff that is putting enormous pressure on the russian staff, and asking how the commander of the black sea offensive is going, he would say terrible from the russian offensive. >> and now, looking at the tip of the crimean peninsula, and the land part of the counteroffensive is up here with crimean forces trying to push inward here on the russian lines, but one other view here for the people that i want to show here, general, of this, and "the wall street journal" is reporting that the ukrainians were able to get armour here through the lines here, and in the study of war here, it shows just how deep the russian lines
7:14 am
are. so if the ukrainians have been able to get the first ar mord vehicles through the line, what is significance? >> the way they will eventually liberate crimea is by first isolating it and then making it untenable, and the ground part of the offensive is aimed at just that, to isolate it by cutting the land bridge. that means by physically sitting on top of it which is much more difficult or with the penetrations that you are talking about. they will soon be able to bring up longer range rocket artillery to disrupt any traffic down the land bridge. so the land part of this is a critical part of isolating crimea. and meanwhile, all of the strikes against se vsevastople s
7:15 am
important. >> and what do they need? >> they need the long strange attack capability to help the area everyday, and a package by the u.s. the u.s. is doing a lot, and the dual purpose improved cluster munitions that are very effective for the artillery, but we have not given them the attackums that would be key. >> thank you, general hodges. kate? now to the mess in capitol hill, because in eight days the government is going to shutdown if congress does not pass a funding bill of some sort to keep it ruling. and this morning, a deja vu, because office of management and budget is going to prepare for a potential shutdown as we have seen so many times before.
7:16 am
and this is all about house republicans, hard right republicans who delivered house leader kevin mccarthy another blow to block a motion forward on a related bill, and so mccarthy burned again sent the members home for the weekend, and some republicans are willing to work it out and working with the democrats to avoid a shutdown and here is one of the republicans speaking to us this hour. >> you will work with democrats to get something on the floor to avoid a government shutdown? i have said it consistently. i was not sent here to shut it down, but i was sent here to work things out, and i will with anybody from any part of the country who is earnest and honest about meeting the needs. >> lauren fox is following all of this from the him. what now? >> yeah, i mean, this is a huge question right now, kate. we are eight days away from the government shutdown, and the republicans' last ditch plan is
7:17 am
to pass 11 individual spending bills on the floor of the house of representatives, one of which is the same bill that failed to advance yesterday on the house floor. so that is the predicament that house republicans found themselves in right now. the house rules committee is going to gather and try to move a couple of the bills forward, but once they come to the floor, it is another question entirely if the votes will be there and the lawmakers are now gone for the weekend. the meetings are going to continue, and they will try to get some work done, but the work on the bills are not going to happen until next week when they are five days away from the government shutdown. at this point, the question is what is the senate going to do, and is the senate going to send something over to the house of representatives, and if so, would house speaker kevin mccarthy put it on the floor knowing that he is impieriled i he does anything to work the democrats from the right flank. so do you want to keep your job
7:18 am
if you are kevin mccarthy or avoid a government shutdown, and that is a tough calculation, if you are the speaker of the house, kate? >> and one that may be by design or the rock and a hard place may be by ndesign. there is always a miracle possible. thank you, lauren. and now, a poll that may have democrats smiling, and we with are waiting on a major announcement by the american auto workers. will thousands more auto workers hit the picket lines in a couple of hours? ♪ ♪ gain scent beads keep even ththe stinkiest stuff smelling fresh.

a new cnn poll out this morning, a new source of hope for joe biden's re-election campaign. biden with the advantage and the hypothetical face-off with donald trump in new hampshire, and take a look at this. the poll has biden with a 12-point lead even. >> in new hampshire which at one point was a swing state. and biden beat trump by eight points there, but hillary clinton only beat trump by a few thousand points, and we bring in the political director david challengian and what is standing out to you in this poll? >> well, pay less attention to the margin and each candidate's support number, because each of the 8% could end up in the trump column i would say, but what is noteworthy is the poll that is showing a margin of error, and in the exclusive new hampshire poll in conjunction with the new hampshire poll, biden is besting
7:24 am
every republican outside of the margin of error, and to john's point, is new hampshire truly a swing state or a blue-shaded battleground state, but definitely biden is looking stronger here than nationally. >> so what is -- can you talk to me about the possibility, no possibility, and what is going on with the dnc rules and joe biden getting on the ballot in new hampshire, and what is -- what is happening? what are people thinking about it? >> well, we did look at the democratic primary in new hampshire as well, and take a look. joe biden is dominating in this primary, and excuse me. he has 78% support in the primary, and 9% for robert kennedy jr., and 6% for marian williamson, and so he is the clear winner of the likely democratic voters in new hampshire, and kate you mentioned that joe biden is looking to change the order of things, and he wants south carolina to go first and not new hampshire, and if they ignore
7:25 am
that call, because of the pride of being first in the nation, they may be under sanction, and the contest may not count toward the delegate progress, and so the new hampshire democrats don't care, because 69% said they would still write his name in on the democratic primary ballot. >> and with joe biden's national poll, and cnn's own poll is squishiness of the democratic poll, and so what does this new hampshire poll say about the softness that democratic voters have? >> well, the same concern about age, and we asked the open-ended question about what is the biggest concern of biden's candidacy, and it is age. and 57% among the likely democratic voters and 16% neutral and 16% unfavorable. we asked if you would like someone else to run in the 2024 democratic primary, and 37% say
7:26 am
yes, and that may cause the democratic hand wringing, but asked for a name, there was no name. and nobody had anybody to support. so you can't really beat somebody with nothing. so you can see how low williamson and robert kennedy jr. are. so, yes, maybe some hunger for something else that the democrats have, but they don't know what it is, and they are rallying behind biden when he is matching up against trump, and 94% of the democrats are supporting biden in the biden versus trump matchup, which is true of 79% of the republicans for trump. >> that why it is so important to frame this as a biden versus trump matchup. >> precisely. >> thank you, david. and with us now, the cnn political commentator s.e. cupp, and what we ended on there, and the new york times had a remarkable tidbit of reporting today saying that several months
7:27 am
ago, the dnc on behalf of joe biden had head-to-head matchups with biden and prospective candidates, but now apparently, they have stopped asking questions about ron desantis, and the implications that they don't believe he going to win the nomination, and it is just donald trump, and now that he has grown and they have, the party has dropped ron desantis from the matchups, and they are polling and the candidates that is now directed squarely to mr. trump, and what does that tell you? >> it is telling you a lot. ron desantis is really hyped and hyped as being trump but smarter, and i have said it before and it is also like it is trump the but dumber at least when it is coming to running a political campaign. he has lost donors and had to fire staff. he has not found his lane. and despite throwing out a bunch of stuff, and spaghetti on the wall to see if it would stick,
7:28 am
and picking on disney, and picking all of the culture wars, nothing has really boosted him. he has only gone in the opposite direction, and i think that he was always sort of a donor invention, and also a manchurian candidate without a lot of there-there, and i don't know who ron desantis is outside of the culture wars, and that is not a salient enough message to win in what a lot of the voters consider a bad economy, and without a lot of real problems having nothing to do with disney and drag shows. >> and from disney and drag shows to transition to the mess on capitol hill. >> which would be a great drag show, but that an aside. >> i think that we have hit on something. >> we thought that -- well, we wanted to get your take on what is going on in the house with republicans, and the government shutdown in eight days, and we thought that it was great opportunity for this episode of
7:29 am
the cnn central game show, which we want you to play, this is mccarthy or gatets, and who had the better week. kevin mccarthy or matt gaetz? >> i saw that kevin mccarthy said he was frustrate and said, it is like they wanted to burn it down? have you met matt gaetz or marjorie taylor greene? it is like these are the people he bent over backwards to placate and get the 15th vote to become speaker, and they were the hostage takers and now he is hostage to follow matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene around to get anything done, and he is acting like he does not know how it happened, but it is bizarre, and the chickens have come home to roost.
7:30 am
>> and who is driving this middle of the long congressional long weekend they declare, and who is steering this, and we put the pictures up there, and here are the choices kevin mccarthy or matt gaetz? >> i mean, it seems like matt gaetz is, and listen after mccarthy capitulated and decided that he would go ahead without a vote and start impeachment proceedings against joe biden, and matt gaetz minutes later said that he would have a motion to have him vacate after what he got what he wanted, he wants more, and again, the goal is not to govern, and the goal is not to solve problems and the goal is to get famous, and the goal is to grandstand and become, you know, celebrities in the house. you know, matt gaetz when he is not hosting on news max tries to get a little governing in here or there, and in his mind
7:31 am
governing is holding kevin mccarthy hostage for his maga constituents. >> s.e. cupp, thank you so much for winning the cnn news central game of the week, and your prize is that you, too, get a long weekend, and so you go and take that. thank you, s.e. thank you so much. >> just in, the united auto workers expanding the strike against two of the three biggest automakers, but there is some progress in talks with ford.

all right. we do have breaking news. the united auto workers union president shawn fain announced at noon today, the strike will expand in part. he says more workers at multiple general motors and stellantis locations will join the picket line, but he is raising hopes that progress is being made in talks with ford. so, they will not expand the strike for now at ford. stellantis who makes dodge and gm, but not ford. vanessa yurkevich has the details here to piece together. >> yes, i was listening to shawn fain, and encouraging news at the top. he said that right now, i think
7:37 am
that we can get there with all three at some point, but he did signal that stellantis and general motors needs some urging, but he said that ford did want to reinstall cost of living adjustments, and that is something they gave up, and he announced that 38 locations with gm and stellantis are now going on strike, and that saul of the parts and distributions center, which is a key component of the manufacturing process for general motors and stellantis. he said that will happen at 12:00 p.m. noon, so in a short time, we will see the workers head to the picket lines cross the lines at those plants. the one ford plant that is initially on strike, that ford plant is going to stay on strike, but no additional ford plants will be authorized to
7:38 am
strike, and we should not see anymore ford workers head to the picket lines. >> this is the most optimistic that fain has been sounding to date, and even as they are expanding to stellantis and gm. and he was saying that they could be on the proposals with the companies and some hope with what they were saying that they could get there and make deals with all three, and ford leading the way. as we have seen, there have been ripple effects on the layoffs of the direction of the companies, and the layoffs of the people, and general motors have idle people, and stellantis with 300 coming, because of the three
7:39 am
plants on strike, so you can imagine that as you have 38 additional locations with general motors and stellantis, we could see the additional ripple effects with the layoffs soon to follow. >> and yes, a lot of new announcements here with this new layoff news. so we will go let you work the phones. >> will do. >> and now, uaw member jim rowe who worked for the stellantis plant in toledo, ohio, and thank you for taking the time to speak with me, and we are getting the details of what is happening at noon hearing that the strike is going to be expanding for stellantis and gm, and what is the reaction? >> well, kate, it is meant to be. we have to fight for our fair wages for everyone, and try to eliminate these tiers. >> the interesting wrinkle of where the negotiations are
7:40 am
standing now as john, my colleagues john and vanessa, were talking about is that the strike is expanding for stellantis and gm, and not ford, because there seems to be real progress with ford. does that seem true with stellantis, and is that a hopeful sign for you or some look for you in how it progresses going forward? >> well, that is hopeful, and it is definitely encouraging. just for the pattern of bargaining between the big three, and hopefully gm and stellantis are going to get on board, and everyone will get back to work. >> what has it been like, and i think it is eight days since you have been on strike, and what has it been like, and how is it going? >> it is going strong. a lot of solidarity here in toledo, and we have our community leaders, and our
7:41 am
community is backing us very well. the morale of the people is up. we are having cowboys coming from the bronco plant, and the morale is high and the solidarity is strong. >> what do you think is doing to eventually break the stalemate? we will be looking ate coming in with the talks, and what you will be a uaw member for a long time, and what do you think so going to change the course here? >> yeah, i have been at the toledo plant for 39 years, and what is going to change the course is that we eliminate the tiers and get everybody a fair wage and work together and get our new hires a fair wage instead of matching what they can get at a fast food place, and they should be making what we make as a legacy worker. >> until then the strike continues. and so, now it is expanding as
