7:03 am
the white house. president biden expected to sign the democrats' big spending will in just a couple hours. what it will mean for you, we'll have a lot more on that. but we begin here this morning over that battle over that fbi seizure of documents from former president trump's florida home. with trump now calling for the release of the unredacted affidavit behind the search. >> the justice department is fighting to keep the affidavit under seal, saying releasing it could jeopardize the ongoing criminal investigation that has potential implications for national security. our senior national correspondent terry moran is in washington with more for us. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning, former president trump is battling back against the justice department. he's demanding that the department release to him and to the public the underlying evidence and justification for the search at his mar-a-lago residence. it is a hard ball tactic in this high-stakes struggle. this morning, former president donald trump is calling for the immediate release of the completely unredacted affidavit behind last week's fbi search of his florida residence.
7:04 am
but the department of justice wants that affidavit, a sworn document that provides justification for a search and thus a possible road map to the case, to remain sealed to protect witnesses in its investigation into donald trump's alleged mishandling of classified information. >> they certainly don't want to put former president trump or anyone else close to him on notice of what they are looking at. >> reporter: the justice department argues that publishing the affidavit could reveal specific investigative techniques and could even compromise their investigation. that investigation is a criminal probe with national security implications. doj revealing it has witnesses cooperating in this investigation and indicating that a grand jury is involved. now, some lawmakers are also demanding answers. the top democrat and republican on the senate intelligence committee have asked the director of national intelligence and the doj to provide the classified documents retrieved by the fbi, 11 sets in total along with an assessment
7:05 am
of potential risk to national security as a result of their mishandling at mar-a-lago. the democratic chairs of the house intelligence and oversight committees requested a similar assessment. sources tell abc news investigators are now combing through security footage as they try to retrace the movement of these classified materials and determine whether the country's national secrets have been compromised. as a candidate, donald trump vowed to safeguard classified material. >> in my administration, i'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. no one will be above the law. >> reporter: but now under investigation himself he's changing his tune and his arguments. at first denouncing the raid as a political witch hunt, but then claiming that he had declassified the documents found at mar-a-lago anyway, some of which were marked "sci" from the most sensitive u.s. intelligence sources. trump's also claiming that the
7:06 am
fbi agents seized three of his passports during the raid. abc news confirmed that's true, but all three have been returned and two were already expired. amid attacks on the fbi from trump and other republicans, there has been an increase in threats and acts of violence towards law enforcement, including a pennsylvania man who was charged monday for threatening law enforcement officials days after the mar-a-lago raid. writing in one post, my only goal is to kill more of them before i drop. meanwhile in georgia, in an unrelated investigation into trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election, prosecutors in fulton county have notified rudy giuliani, trump's lawyer in that battle, that he is the target of an investigation there. that means it's possible giuliani could be indicted. robin? >> and, terry, the trump organization's longtime cfo allen weisselberg is due in court this week as well? >> reporter: that's right.
7:07 am
he was the chief financial officer of the trump organization. he's expected to plead guilty this week to a tax scheme within the organization. it's unclear whether or not he'll testify against trump, cooperate with prosecutors. he's one of the closest business associates of donald trump for decades. right now it looks like he'll plead guilty. >> terry, thank you. amy? well, now, robin to the former president's influence concerning high-stakes primaries. in wyoming, liz cheney making it a battle unlike any other. our chief washington correspondent jon karl is in jackson, wyoming with more on that. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, amy, here in wyoming, this is no ordinary primary race. this is a battle between donald trump and the republican who's said that she's willing to sacrifice her political career to bring him down. today's election in wyoming is a primary battle unlike any other.
7:08 am
liz cheney is the most outspoken and most effective critic of donald trump in the republican party. voters here in wyoming seem set to remind her that out here this is trump's party. >> there's a visceral hatred and this is going to drive people to the polls. >> reporter: cheney, wyoming's sole representative in the house, has made this a referendum on the truth. calling out trump's lies about the 2020 election and vowing she'll fight to make sure he never holds office again. >> america cannot remain free if we abandon the truth. the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is insidious. >> reporter: cheney helping to lead the house select committee's investigation of january 6th and trump's efforts to overturn the election. >> tonight i say this to my republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. there will come a day when donald trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain. >> reporter: but wyoming backed
7:09 am
trump in 2020 by his widest margin of any state. he beat joe biden here by nearly 44%. cheney faces harriet hageman, an attorney and former cheney supporter who once rebuked trump. now she repeats trump's lies about the stolen election. trump endorsed hageman earlier this year. >> liz, you're fired. get out of here. get out of here. >> reporter: she's also deployed her father, perhaps wyoming's most famous political figure, former vice president dick cheney. in a campaign ad, the elder cheney hit back hard at trump. >> he's a coward. a real man wouldn't lie to his supporters. >> reporter: donald trump may win the battle here in this primary. cheney has made it clear that her fight to keep donald trump from returning to power is only just beginning. she hasn't ruled out a run for
7:10 am
alaska's got a primary today. lisa murkowski one of seven republicans in the senate who voted to convict donald trump in the impeachment trial is on the ballot. she is considered to have a better chance than cheney, largely because of the way the state runs the primaries in alaska. and sarah palin is on the ballot running in a house primary where she has donald trump's support. amy? >> lot at stake. jon karl there in wyoming. thank you. gio? we're going to turn now to a big victory at the white house. president biden is set to sign the massive health, climate and tax bill into law later today. now this is the largest climate investment in u.s. history and our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega has more on how else this bill will impact americans. hey, cecilia, good morning. >> reporter: hey, gio, yeah, good morning. such a big win for president biden. he's actually interrupting his vacation and flying back to the white house just for this bill signing. let me show you what's inside of it because as you said, it is a big one. we're talking $740 billion overall.
7:11 am
on this healthcare front, it will help some 13 million americans pay for insurance by expanding subsidies. it caps prescription drug costs at $2,000 a year for medicare recipients. and then starting next year, those receiving medicaid will pay no more than 35 bucks a month for insulin. that's a really expensive drug. it's also the largest, as you said, climate investment in u.s. history. listen to this. $370 billion, this includes tax credits for solar panels and electric vehicles. these incentives will cut greenhouse gas by 40% from the 2005 levels. the big question right now, this is paid for by new taxes on large companies and stepped-up irs enforcement for the rich. the white house is calling this a once in a generation investment, promising it's going to save americans -- saving them money, by reducing inflation and lowering the deficit. but we've heard this from republicans and many experts who dispute by how much it's actually going to help
7:12 am
inflation. robin, the white house is really planning to capitalize on this one. they're going to hit the road. the president and cabinet members going across the country trying to convince the american people that this is helping them. of course, all tied to those midterms that are coming up. >> and they'll be here before we know. all right, cecilia, as you know. thank you. now to flash flooding across the country. a state of emergency declared in west virginia after more than a hundred homes were damaged. ginger has the latest for us. good morning, ginger. >> hey, good morning to you, robin. up to six inches of rain in just a couple of hours. we know what that can do. the pictures show you. smithers creek was out of its banks. it was taking out 500 emergency cams, 25 water rescues and this was just one spot in west virginia. go to el paso, texas, and you have eight people in a vehicle here. seven of them were rescued. unfortunately one did die. and so this flash flood threat is something that is still with us today. that same system that blew through texas right along the mexican border, it's still moving there. so, you can see some areas just west of del rio, sanderson, up to where the mexican border hits

7:14 am
will they come to the u.s.? the u.s. has asked both moderna and pfizer for a more up to date booster that as targets omicron ba.4 and ba.5 which the world health organization says now makes up 70% of global cases. those could be authorized by the u.s. as soon as september. guys, until then, existing boosters are still recommended for anyone over the age of 5 with second boosters recommended for those 50 and over and anyone who's immunocompromised. gio? >> all right, maggie, we know you'll follow this for us. thank you so much. we're going turn now to new developments in ukraine. thousands fleeing around the area of that the russian-held nuclear plant amid fierce of a potential disaster. britt clennett is live in that zone in ukraine. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gio. we're here in an evacuation center in zaporizhzhia where people are arriving from occupied areas, including from that nuclear power plant that is constantly under attack. this morning, a mass exodus of ukrainians fleeing russian-held territory in the zaporizhzhia region as fears of a nuclear

8:15 am
scabs over, painful or itchy. head to toe symptoms -- fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, body aches, respiratory symptoms, what do those sound like? they sound like covid or many other viruses. the bottom line is, it's not your job to be your own doctor to make this diagnosis. if you have these symptoms and you suspect it could be monkeypox or any other virus, go see a medical professional and get tested. >> get help right away. we've been talking for years about the covid vaccines, right. now we're talking about another vaccine. what do parents need to know here? >> first, remember the numbers. i always go back to the numbers, especially when you hear a headline like this, there are more than 11,000 cases, that's likely an understatement, but
8:16 am
there are 330 million americans in this country. so right now, the risk overall is low, but you do want to keep your eye on this and i think that when you talk about prevention you really want to be smart with your behavior. we know that monkeypox in terms of its transmission, the main root of transmission is prolonged direct skin to skin contact, that doesn't have to be sexual contact, gio, so that's important for people to understand, but it can also be transmitted with prolonged face to face contact, respiratory droplet exposure and then touching items contaminated with this virus. ting, cooking utensils, bedsheets, towels, be smart. if you're in an area that's experiencing an outbreak vaccination is an option. >> i'm so glad you're here guiding us through this. thank you, dr. n. t. >> robin? now to uvalde, texas, with the community still recovering from the tragic mass shooting at rob men robb elementary, they're starting to send their children back to school. john quinones is there with more for us. good morning, john. >> reporter: good morning, robin. i'm at the sacred heart catholic school in uvalde, where classes are back in session. the enrollment here has doubled since the mass shootings and among the new students 11 who
