hearing, cassidy hutchinson an aide to donald trump's chief of staff, out of control, reforming the allegation that the former president at one point lunged at the secret service agent and grabbed at the steering wheel of the vehicle when they wouldn't take him to the capitol. >> he was angry at the secret service for barring supporters who were carrying weapons. mary bruce is tracking the latest. the former president already pushing back on this testimony. good morning. >> good morning, robin. he is saying she is a phony hardly knows her. cassidy hutchinson worked just steps away from the oval office and at 26 years old she's breaking with her former boss describing in vivid detail what she witnessed on january 6th, describing how the president himself tried to lead the armed mob here at the capitol to overturn the will of the american voters. under oath, cassidy hutchinson, a top white house aide, painted

a chilling picture, detailing how the the president wanted to go to the capito himself on january 6th, something she said she learned from trump's lawyer rudy giuliani four days before the attack. >> he looked at me and said something to the effect of cas, are you excited for the 6th? it's going to be a great day. the president's going to be there and he's going to look powerful. >> confused, she said and she went and talked to her boss trump's chief of staff mark meadows. he didn't look up from his phone and said something to the effect of, there's a lot going on cas, things might get real, real bad on january 6th. that was the first moment they remember feeling scared. >> hutchinson said while meadows acknowledged something was wrong, he did nothing to stop it, even when on the morning of january 6th the white house learned that some of trump's supporters were armed. >> i have three men walking down the street carrying ar-15s.

copy at 14th and independence. >> as the president prepared to deliver his remarks hutchinson was backstage. trump was angry that more of the crowd wasn't being allowed into the secured area. trump demanded the secret service remove the metal detectors because he wasn't the target. >> i overheard the president say something to the effect of i don't f-ing care that they have weapons. they're not here to hurt me. take the f-ing mags away. let my people in. they can march to the capitol from here. >> the president telling the crowd he would march with him. >> i will be there with you. >> something the secret service and pat cipollone insisted trump could not do. >> mr. cipollone said something to the effect of please make sure we don't go up to the capitol, cassidy. keep in touch with me and we'll get charges of every type imaginable if we make that happen. >> the president wouldn't speak of it. hutchinson said lead secret

service agent robert engle refused saying it warrant safe. she saw ingle and deputy chief of staff ornato looking discombobulated and lost. the president said something to the effect of i'm the f-ing president take me up to the capitol now. to which bobby responded sir, we have to go back to the west wing. the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel, mr. engle grabbed his arm, and said sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. we're going back to the west wing. we're not going to the capitol. mr. trump then used his freehand to lunge towards bobby engle and when mr. aronato he referred to his clavicles. >> it waint the first time the president exploded in rage describing the ketchup she saw dripping down the wall after

trump learned his attorney general bill barr had publicly rejected trump's false claims of election fraud. >> the valet had articulated that the president was extremely angry at the attorney general's a.p. interview and had thrown his lunch against the wall. >> as trump supporters reached the capitol on january 6th and violently forced their way inside, she says the chief of staff initially did nothing. >> said, hey, are you watching the tv, chief? he said, yeah. the rioters are getting really close. have you talked to the president? he said no. he wants to be alone right now. hutchinson said cipollone finally got meadows' attention. something to the effect of mark, something needs to be done or people will die and the blood will be on your f-ing hands. she said the president was unmoved even when told that his supporters were chanting to hang his own vice president mike pence. >> mark had responded something to the effect of you heard him,

pat. he thinks mike deserves it. he doesn't think they're doing anything wrong. >> trump sent a tweet condemning pence saying he didn't have the courage to do what was necessary. >> it was unpatriotic. it was un-american. we are watching the capitol building get defaced over a lie. >> hutchinson added that in the days after the attack mark meadows was among those seeking a presidential pardon related to january 6th. this morning we are hearing from some members from trump's inner circle who are disputing other portions of hutchinson's testimony including one of trump's former white house lawyers. as for the former president himself he responded in a flurry of online posts and also calling into question parts of this testimony. michael, it is clear donald trump is paying close attention here. >> absolutely. as expected. thank you very much, mary. let's bring in our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas. the secret service has issued a statement in response to

hutchinson's testimony. >> michael, good morning. that statement says agents are prepared to give sworn testimony in relation to these new allegations. two sources familiar with the investigation tells me that when president trump returned to his motorcade he requested that agents take him to the capitol. those sources told me that robert engle, one of the agents in the car saying that was unwise or dangerous and that the motorcade was going to return him to the white house. a source close to the secret service told me that trump was not happy with the agents and the agents in the car would push back against allegations of an assault by president trump and the allegation that he reached for the steering wheel. >> pierre, thank you. let's bring in our chief washington correspondent jon karl. bombshell allegations, but big picture here. what does this impact, this testimony, how does it impact the hearings going forward from here? >> well, the big question is will others come forward?

cassidy hutchinson was one of very few people who was right there in the west wing, steps away from the oval office, a direct witness to the extraordinary events in the white house on and around january 6th and she has done what many others have just refused to do which is to come forward under oath, live before the world to tell her story, and it is an extraordinary story of an unhinged president willing to do anything, anything to cling to power and as extraordinary as it is, it is entirely consistent with what we had already known. remember, it was around this time that we have reported that members of the trump cabinet were considering invoking the 25th amendment declaring him mentally unfit to be president. that was the portrait of a mentally unfit president that cassidy hutchinson told the world about. >> jon, in her closing remarks congresswoman liz cheney pointed to possible witness tampering.

>> really extraordinary stuff here. multiple witnesses, liz cheney said, were contacted by people before they came in to give their depositions, reminding them to stay in the good graces of trump world, that he reads the transcripts, remain a team player. this is mafia-like stuff, and i tell you, whit, don't be surprised if they come after cassidy hutchinson very hard and try to make her pay for what she's done. >> jon karl, our thanks to you. robin? whit, we'll move on now to the war in ukraine and we hear from the family of one of the americans captured by russian forces saying he's been in contact with the state department. our foreign correspondent james longman is there for us in ukraine. good morning, james. >> yeah. good morning, robin. more evidence is coming to light on the mall and the factory. this as one of the two u.s. veterans caught here in ukraine. the family of alex drueke has been speaking to abc news. this morning the family of alex

drueke, one of the u.s. veterans captured in ukraine speaking to abc news. they say alex has spoken with the state department over the phone while being held by russian proxies twice in recent days. >> they said that he sounded good, that he sounded relatively strong, that he clearly was being prompted to make certain statements and as they questioned him that he is being treated humanely. >> alex was able to pass along a message through the state department to his mother. he said that he loved me and to keep taking good care of his dog and that -- and that he knew i was doing everything i could to get them back home safely. >> this as new video shared by president zelenskyy shows the moment russian missiles hit. panic in a park nearby caught on video as debris rains down.

one man jumped into the water for safety. at least 20 people were killed in the attack and nearly 60 injured. 40 others are still missing. we go inside the hospital where some of the injured are being treated. meet nicolai who worked inside the mall. he tells me about the moment of the attack. it went dark and someone helped me get out. not even the hospital is safe from russia. >> another air raid siren. we'll have to leave. president zelenskyy calling the attack straight terrorisma. >> turkey has now dropped its opposition to finland and sweden applying for membership if this was about russia limiting nato's scope, but the opposite is happening. >> it sure does. michael? >> new to texas and the rising toll in the deadliest human smuggling case in u.s. history. 51 people dead after being abandoned in a tract or trailer. matt gutman has the latest. >> this morning first responders

describing a semitruck full of horror. >> the heat was torrential. there was no air in that vehicle. there was no water. they suffered. they lost consciousness and then >> ols say dozens migrants found in that semi on a desolate road in southwest san antonio. at 5:51 a worker who cries for help inside and called 911 saying the driver had fled. by 6:00 p.m. the first responders arrived. >> all agents will be priority one. i'm telling you about 12 that are breathing and we're trying to take ones that are breathing off of the truck right now. >> dozens of ambulances racing there. officials say the temperature outside topped 103 degrees. inside, much higher. >> how close to death were these living patients? >> very close. they were extremely critical. they needed immediate emergency medical care. >> but the death toll kept rising. >> the officers had to separate some of the deceased trying to find who might be still alive.

>> ultimately, 51 would die in what officials call the deadliest smuggling incident in u.s. history and this morning first responders struggling to shake what they saw. >> think about what they went through when those doors closed. i think about the risk that they took. i think about the people being treated worse than animals. >> you can see this memorial behind me with candles and flowers, but also water bottles because so many of those people died from heat stroke and dehydration. the grim task begins of identifying the victims and that could take days. we are told they're from mexico, guatemala and honduras. officials are warning that with temperatures rising and the volume of migrants increasing, you can see more deadly incidents like these in the summer. michael? >> thank you so much, matt. >> whit? >> now to the lawsuits ramping up across the country in the wa wake of the landmark spupreme

court decision. our congressional correspondent rachel scott is tracking it all. rachel, good morning. >> whit, good morning to you. the biden administration says every option is on the table when it comes to protecting access to abortion including expanding access to medication abortion, but offering few specifics as the landscape quickly changes state by state. >> this morning confusion and uncertainty as the fight for abortion plays out state by state. >> right now we're anticipating that services will be able to be continued subject to the constant back and forth of litigation. >> abortion bans are being challenged in court. judges in louisiana, texas and utah allowing some abortions to resume for now. >> we will be calling back women who we had to turn away on saturday so that they can come back and get their procedure if they haven't made other arrangements. >> the patchwork of abortion access causing whiplash on both

sides. >> nobody believed that the fight was over, that overturning roe was an end all. >> in total, at least 13 states have now stopped nearly all abortion services, and over a dozen others are likely to take action in the coming weeks and months. we met dr. amy whitaker in illinois. this state has quickly become a safe haven for legal abortion as surrounding states move to block abortion access. >> it's been a couple of difficult days. i'm not going to sugar coat it. they've had to travel so far to get basic health care. the states with the most restrictive abortion laws have invested the least in policies and programs for women and children. >> the idea that you would make a complete abortion ban without having that investment and without having universal access to free, com prehensive, qualit prenatal care without access to funded child care to me is unacceptable. >> in the wake of roe versus

wade being overturned there has been an increase in demand for over the counter emergency contraceptives like plan b. we are learning that cvs and rite aid are limiting its supply. whit? >> racheling up, we'll have the latest on the deadly amtrak derailment. there have been concerns about popur poo product witing for the hidoming up, but first, let's go to ginger. >> good morning to you, michael. lake charles, louisiana, has been 15 inches below rainfall. you know it's tropical season, we have something trying to form and it's got a 40% shot of doing so, either way, it becomes heavy rain from galveston up to southwest louisiana. let's get to your local weather in 30 seconds. your accuweather,

downloading the video from the front-facing cameras showing them exactly what happened. this morning the death toll rising to four how an amtrak train collided with a dump truck in missouri. the crossing had no cross arms, bells or lights, like half of the crossings in the u.s. >> it concerns me because the same tragedy could happen at any one of those crossings. >> the amtrak was traveling from l.a. to chicago, nearly 300 people onboard when it struck the truck which the ntsb says was transporting aggregate to an army corps of engineers project. >> what you are seeing right now is perhaps the truck was in motion and it was not struck on the tracks. >> oh, no. it was in motion. that's right. >> that driver was killed along with three passengers and more than 150 injured. in tragedy, signs of heroism. 16 members of a wisconsin-based boy scout troupe sprung into

our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is here. walmart is denying the accusations? >> they are, robin. good morning to you. the ftc claims that walmart failed to properly train employees and failing to alert customers about a rise in money transfer fraud. in turn scammers swindled walmart customers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. here's how it happened according to the ftc. walmart offers money transfer services through its stores and the agency says walmart turned a blind eye failing to protect scammers as they left for prey for scammers acting as long lost relatives and the irs. it did not warn customers of the potential fraud according to the ftc and now the agency is asking a court to order the retail giant to pay back consumers and impos impose civil penalties. it is flawed and legally

baseless and they're robust and have helped to protect consumers. robin, the bottom line here is no matter what the outcome of this is, the most important takeaway for our viewers is to triple check before you initiate a money transfer. one reason these transaction are so beloved by fraudsters is that the cash is nearly impossible to recover. >> it is always so important how we give our viewers the main story. >> triple check. >> now to perhaps the final appearance on wimbledon's famed grass court for serena williams. >> no! >> say it ain't so. the superstar losing the first-round match to the 115th ranked player in the world and then afterwards was uncertain about her future. maggie ruly is there with more. her comments getting a lot of attention this morning. >> i know, whit. i heard you, robin. none of us want to hear this. we're at wimbledon today and you can see some of the matches are starting up behind me and the

sports history. >> i love changing the game. i think that's, you know, something that i never kind of set out to do, and then somehow i did it. somehow i'm serena and it's pretty awesome. >> serena says she wants to compete in the next grand slam in the u.s. open later this summer, and i think i speak for a lot of us including you guys on the desk that we all want to see her there, but the action here at wimbledon will continue. we have teenage phenom coco gauff just yesterday putting on an incredible show and a top three sender in the first match. she'll be in round two tomorrow so still plenty to watch in wimbledon, guys. >> you're saying at the end of the match with serena, you couldn't even watch. >> first of all, maggie, thank you so much. there was one game in the second set that lasted 30 minutes. one game. she gave it her all, but her opponent, very smart -- >> in the way she played it out.

experience emotion, and if you react to something you're soft or your skin is not thick enough, and so for me as a guy who's viewed in a totally different light than being soft on the basketball court, to share that with the world, to show the world that, no, as an athlete you deal with all of these things. life still continues to go on as you are taking this court and to give people a deeper dive into not only the mindset of us, but the actual everyday things that you're going through while dealing with 20,000 people screaming at you. >> speaking of everyday things you're going through, you found out your daughter olive had a health situation, medical situation. in the sessions, did anything hlp you learn to deal with that? >> i think it did. what the session did was it taught me that it was okay to dive into that emotion. i end up missing a starter training camp due to it, and because i missed the starter training camp, as i'm sitting
