>> the affidavit detailing what evidence was had before the search of former president trump's residence. the redaction was necessary to protect the safety and privacy of a significant number of civilian witnesses and protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation. the affidavit showing that for months before the search, authorities had been trying repeatedly to get the trump team to turn over records. eventually the affidavit says trump turned over 15 boxes of material to the national archives in january, including 184 documents marked classified, 67 marked confidential, 92 marked secret, and 25 marked top secret. >> revealing these methods and these investigations could harm the nation's ability to protect itself from foreign terrorism threats and the efforts of

foreign intelligence agencies. >> reporter: the affidavit described a disorganized jumble of newspapers, magazines, photos, miscellaneous printouts, notes, personal and presidential records, and, quote, a lot of classified records. i asked president biden friday if national security could have been compromised at mar-a-lago. >> i'll let the justice department take care of it. >> reporter: trump's team turned over even more documents in june, but still the affidavit said there's probable cause to believe that documents containing classified ndi, national defense information, remained at mar-a-lago. the precise details on that information are unclear, as the next seven paragraphs of the affidavit are entirely blacked o out. big questions remain about now investigators knew there was more classified information at the home. after they went through with the search warrant, they still found more than 20 boxes of government records there at mar-a-lago.

eva. >> maryalice parks at the department of justice. thank you. now to pope francis, appointing new cardinals during a meeting in rome. they will become part of the group that will be responsible for choosing the next upontiff. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. it's a morning of celebration. getting a little windy on this day, 20 new cardinals from all over the world are named and anointed in a celebration in st. peter's basilica behind me. each one bringing something new to an ancient institution. this is the eighth time that pope francis has named a new class of cardinals, and like all of his other appointments, these reflect his drive to make the catholic church more truly global, more diverse, and so 11 of these appointments today come from places that have never seen any representation in the long history of the college of cardinals. they're from places like

mongolia and singapore, new guinea, and the one american in the batch, archbishop robert mcelroy becomes the first cardinal in that city's long history. he's seen as a progressive and taken a stand against bishops who deny holy communion to politicians who support the right to a boring. 16 cardinals are under the age of 80, so they are eligible to vote when the time comes for the next pope. pope francis has appointed 60% of these cardinal electors, there's a lot of speculation, is he getting ready to resign. he gets around in a wheelchair quite a bit and he's talked about resigning. he gave an interview recently to a mexican journalist where he said he has no plans to retire, but if he does, he wants to stay as a bishop hearing confessions, visiting the sick, baptizing babies, living out his vocation as an ordinary priest in many

performances. laboeuf denying he was ever fired saying he quit the film sharing with "variety" emails he says he sent to wilde after her claims of firing him were published. one reading, quote, you and i both know the reasons for my exit, i quit your film because your actors and i couldn't find time to rehearse. >> i think shia really decided to write this letter because he's in a tricky time in his career and for someone to say he is difficult to work with, it's really going to affect his career in a way. >> reporter: also sharing with the magazine screen shots of text messages allegedly sent in august of 2020 of an exchange discussing his exit from the project. according to "variety," the texts point to the two meeting in person in los angeles, later that night, wilde allegedly sending laboeuf a text writing in part, quote, thanks for letting me in on your thought process. i know that isn't fun. doesn't feel good to say no to someone and i respect your honesty. i'm gutted because it could have been something special.

median net worth of single households. >> i had planned to move and buy a home by july 2022, but the interest rate was so high and inflation just dramatically increased everything to the point where i basically have had to take a pause on the goal of home buying and moving at this time. >> reporter: in june of this year, housing prices hit their highest level since june 1989. home prices are up 44% over the past two years alone. with costs so high, and starter inventory so low, more single people are struggling to find affordable houses to buy. >> having a second income, somebody else to lean on financially, is extremely helpful. having a two-income household, having a marriage and a partner to sort of lean on another income and co-apply with, it can be instrumental in progressing. >> reporter: the financial gulf gets wider and wider every year.

for example, in 2010 married households' net worth was only four times as much as a single person's, versus nine times now. and it's not just about the money. for young couplh children, having two adults in the mix lets each one focus more on their careers since they know they each have backup. but for all the single ladies and everyone else, three tips to help with finances. build emergency savings, even prioritizing that over spending on vacation and other discretionary spending. reduce your susceptibility to job loss and get extra training and certifications. your good health means fewer medical bills and less income lost to periods of illness. deidre bolton, abc news, new york. >> important information there. our thanks to deidre bolton for that. janai, over to you. now for those hoping to save and squeeze every drop out of summer vacation of 2022, laura ratliff with trip savvy is here
