7:03 am
>> reporter: janai, good morning, that fact that the warrants said agents were looking into evidence of possible violations of the espionage act, that has raised a lot of questions and concerns here around washington. >> reporter: this morning, the newly unsealed search warrant shedding light on what fbi agents were looking for at mar-a-lago and what they seized. according to the documents made public by a federal judge, agents were searching for evidence of three potential crimes, violations of the espionage act, unlawful removal of public records and obstruction of justice by concealing, altering or destroying records to impede an investigation. they found 27 boxes of government records including 11 sets of classified documents. >> i've been convinced all along that this case is much, much bigger than just having or mishandling classified documents. why does the former president even have them? have they been transmitted to other people? >> reporter: the night of the
7:04 am
search, trump's attorney given a copy of this receipt detailing what was seized by federal agents. it states that four sets of documents were marked top secret and one marked top secret sci, a classification reserved for some of the most sensitive intelligence and national security information. typically only viewed in a highly secure location. the unsealed document does not say what the seized classified information was. "the washington post" reporting that among the materials sought by federal agents was some related to the u.s. nuclear weapons program. abc news learning that earlier this year, doj issued a subpoena and sent a small group of federal agents to mar-a-lago, all of it part of a months' long effort to try to retrieve the documents before executing the search warrant monday. the receipt also includes an item marked the president of fance, another executive grant of clemency for trump ally roger stone. binders of photos and a handwritten note. before the warrant was made public, house republicans on the intelligence committee calling
7:05 am
for more information demanding evidence of an imminent security threat to justify the search. >> the fbi raid of president trump is a complete abuse and overreach of its authority. >> reporter: democrats arguing no one is above the law and reflecting on the potential seriousness of the crimes being investigated. >> when we're talking about classified information, we're talking about information that if it falls into the wrong hands could lead to the deaths of our troops, our intelligence officers. this is deadly serious stuff. >> reporter: now the white house so far tight-lipped not commenting on any of this. they say they were not given a heads-up about doj's move to unseal this warrant. they say the president believes the department should be independent. eva. >> maryalice parks for us there, thank you. joining us from washington, d.c., is abc news contributor tom bossert a former white house hari sreenivasan adviser and from florida, shanna lloyd with the cochran firm. what could be the legal ramifications here?
7:06 am
>> the legal ramifications of these particular charges are actually very far and wide. we're looking at charges that range from punishments such as fines all the way to imprisonment, so these are significant charges. >> and tom, can you just explain to us the levels of security clearance involved and how important that is to national security? >> yeah, part of this investigation seems to be about whether the president followed the rules on classified information and just on government documents themselves. so the classified materials are the ones that get the most press here, and the ones that are most concerning are the ones that are marked top secret with a compartmentalized indicator, they call them sci documents, and the reason they're so important is that access to those documents by people who are not trustworthy could lead to the revelation to our enemies on who our sources are, who our spies are, how we use our technical collection capabilities, those types of things can cause us to lose fragile intelligence sources, or
7:07 am
it can lead to people's lives, you know. we don't want to over exaggerate this, though. it is the kind of thing that requires careful handling. if there's something bigger about the president's use of that information, we've certainly not heard it yet. but the classified information that we've seen so far referenced does seem to be the kind of thing that could get our human sources in trouble. >> and channa, we know now what the potential charges are. could any or all of these charges prevent trump from running for president again? >> absolutely. one of these charges actually says that the punishment for it is removal from office or that you can be barred from holding a future federal office. now, the requirements for president are dictated by the constitution. these are rules by congress, so there's a bit of a conflict, but there is a potential that he could be barred from holding future presidencies. >> and tom, i have to ask, why this seizure now? what's the urgency after all
7:08 am
this time? >> yeah, it's hard to conjecture, but it does seem like there's no urgency, and i think that's partly what's confusing the story line. there's been a year-long effort with multiple subpoenas and visits to the facility, and at this stage, it appears from the release of the warrant that law enforcement officers felt they had no other choice. you're certainly not going to take a dramatic step and put the president in prison for contempt. they had no other choice to get these documents back but to execute a warrant. so even the warrant itself gave the authorities two weeks to execute it in a way that they thought was the least intrusive. i think there is no urgency. it does beg more questions than it answers, but it seems like we'll learn more certainly about whether the authorities think that people who don't deserve access to these documents have been given it or whether this is simply about whether the president did or did not follow the rules. >> certainly a lot of questions left to be answered.
7:09 am
tom bossert, channa lloyd, thank you so much for being with us. trevor? >> there's a lot of new fallout from all of the backlash from the search at mar-a-lago. we want to bring in abc's senior investigative reporter aaron katersky with the safety concerns following that potential breach of an fbi field office in ohio. aaron, good morning. >> reporter: trevor, good morning to you. the guy who showed up at the fbi's cincinnati field office with an ar-15 was known to the authorities. they had actually checked out to see whether he played a role on january 6th. there was no information, though, he posed an immediate, credible threat. instead, ricky shiffer appears to have started posting about violence towards federal agents after the raid on monday after the raid on former president trump's estate. it is exactly the kind of thing the fbi had been concerned about. right after the search became public, there was a near
7:10 am
immediate cacophony of angry, hostile rhetoric calling for everything from civil war to direct attacks on law enforcement, and some of the incendiary remarks we heard this week from public officials certainly did not help. and the fear now is that what happened in ohio is only going to be the beginning of a series of attempts to threaten law enforcement, and that is something that we heard the fbi director christopher wray say this week that should concern every american. janai. >> aaron, thank you so much. a lot of talk about the former president. turning now to the current president, this morning president biden celebrating a major victory, congressional passage of a sweeping climate and health care bill. all that's needed now is his signature. abc's faith abubey has more. >> reporter: this morning a major legislative win for president biden and democrats as the president's core agenda heads to his desk for his signature. days after the senate passed the friday.on reduction act, house president biden watching on
7:11 am
television with a big grin. republicans say despite the bill's name, it will worsen inflation. however, democrats were touting the $700 billion package as a giant win for the american people. it allocates $375 billion over ten years toward combatting climate change, the largest investment in clean energy in u.s. history. >> it will really reduce the amount of energy that we use and reduce costs for homeowners as well. >> reporter: democrats say the bill will reduce the federal deficit by $300 billion and pays for itself with taxes and corporate stock buybacks, and a new 15% minimum tax on companies making at least a billion dollars a year. 68-year-old david mitchell is fighting cancer and says he spends more than $16,000 a year on medicine. he's eyeing the prescription drug and health care provisions in the package meant to cut out-of-pocket costs for millions. >> this is going to save me a
7:12 am
great deal of money. >> reporter: and it took months of fragile negotiations among democrats in order to get to this point, and president biden plans to sign the historic bill into law next week. eva. >> faith abubey for us there. thank you. the latest now on the author viciously attacked, repeatedly stabbed on stage during a speaking event. salman rushdie is currently on a ventilator unable to speak. his agent says the nerves in his arm were severed, and his liver was stabbed and damaged. mola lenghi joins us now. from erie, pennsylvania, where rushdie was flown for treatment. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, eva, rushdie remains in the hospital recovering from surgery after that horrific attack that had been feared for years. rushdie has in a lot of ways been looking over his shoulder for more than three decades after his 1988 novel "the satanic verses" which was considered blasphemous by leaders. one year later the then supreme leader of iran calling for rushdie's murder causing the author to go into hiding for nearly a decade.
7:13 am
this morning a grim prognosis for salman rushdie, the acclaimed novelist on a ventilator after a gruesome attack. >> at the amphitheater. there was just an attack. i need ems. >> reporter: just as he was about to take the mic, police say a man charged the stage stabbing him at least once in the neck and once in the abdomen. >> he actually went at him at least 10 to 15 times. >> reporter: witnesses attending the lecture horrified, many rushing to help. >> i went over to mr. rushdie to see how he was. >> reporter: charles cook finding rushdie laying on the stage covered in blood. >> asked him if he was okay, and he looked up at me, and he had visible injuries to his face, significant blood on his face and the side of his face. >> reporter: but he did look at you and acknowledged you? >> yeah. >> reporter: the 75-year-old agent's telling abc news salman will likely lose one eye and his liver was severed and damaged. police arrested the alleged attacker 24-year-old hadi matar.
7:14 am

7:15 am
reprehensible. given rushdie's history, police say an increased security presence was requested at friday's lecture. two officers were present at the event. the fbi is investigating the attack and, trevor, at this point no official word on a motive. >> no surprise there. mola, thank you. next, a horrific scene in arlington, virginia, as a pub filled with customers goes up in flames. 14 people are injured, four critically, after a car crashed into ireland's four courts pub and restaurant. it caused the whole structure to be engulfed in fire. video posted to social media shows those huge flames, the billows of smoke. the arlington fire department evacuated the building and as they were battling the flames, the owners of the pub say they are devastated. they're asking for prayers for the injured. across the country now to california where a hazardous chemical leak from a train car has authorities just outside of los angeles worried about a possible explosion. more than 100 homes in perris, california, have now been evacuated, a major freeway closed. officials say the situation there could go on for days.

7:17 am
in some counties, we have work to do to make sure we keep it away. >> i mean, i know we've been talking about this a lot in terms of public health, but how do you allay the concerns for people who are worried about getting vaccinated? >> and that's what it comes down to is making sure that we really hear and allay those concerns. i look at it as a scientific and a human approach. scientifically we have to tell people, guess what, if you're fully vaccinated against polio, you're not going to get paralyzed. it is an extremely safe and effective vaccine. it is the reason we no longer see thousands of paralyzed children every year if polio. it's the reason that 99.9% of polio cases globally have gone down. because of the vaccine. we also have to make sure we're being humans about this and really having culturally competent active ears listening to those concerns in those communities to make sure parents, guardians, everyone out there knows the right decision is to get their kids fully vaccinated, not only against polio but all preventable illnesses. >> and we do know that could be quite an uphill climb to convince them to get vaccinated. dr. patel, thank you for joining
