>> reporter: federal prosecutors say trump knew he was not authorized to keep the documents but did it anyway, alleging he schemed to obstruct the investigation. the 49-page indictment charges the former president stored those classified documents throughout his club and stacks of boxes in a ballroom, some spilling on the floor in a storage room. some even found in a bathroom. trump's once loyal attorney general bill barr calling out his conduct. >> if even half of it is true, then he's toast. i mean, it's a very detailed indictment and it's very, very damning. this idea of presenting trump as a victim here, a victim of a witch hunt is ridiculous. >> reporter: trump is the front runner for the republican nomination. some of his rivals who have resisted criticizing the former president now saying this. >> this puts all of our military men and women in danger if you are gonna talk about what our military is capable of and if that's the case, it's reckless, it's frustrating and it causes

problems. >> this case is a serious case with serious allegations, but in america, you're still innocent until proven guilty. >> reporter: trump is expected to appear in federal court today without a full legal team. two of the president's attorneys resigned just hours before that indictment was unsealed. trump arriving here in florida early in part to have meetings with new lawyers. we are told his team is expected to continue those meetings even this morning. >> all right, rachel. thanks to you. we're going to go to aaron katersky at the federal courthouse there in miami. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the former president is expected here this afternoon to present himself in court. he's going to be taken to the 13th floor to appear before a federal magistrate where he could enter a plea of not guilty. at no time will trump be in hand

evidence gets admitted or doesn't. classified information, detailing exactly what should be declassified, what shouldn't? what should the defense have access to? what shouldn't they? and then finally, she could issue a ruling as a matter of law to dismiss the case. she has enormous potential influence on the case. >> she also has great control over the timing. she could certainly on her own keep it from happening before the election? >> reporter: absolutely. i think the prosecution's going to try and move the case very quickly. the defense is going to try to slow roll it. until after the election. >> jury selection. is it possible to find an unbiased jury in this case? >> unbiased. i think it is definitely possible to find a jury of people who have not come in with a preconceived decision. it is stunning. i have covered trials my whole career. it is amazing that once the trial starts, how seriously jurors take cases. so i think you will find people who voted for donald trump or voted against donald trump, who will walk into that courtroom

and say, i will listen to the evidence and decide based on that. but it will be tough, and it will take awhile. >> dan abrams, thank you very much. abc will have live coverage when trump heads to court this afternoon. michael? >> thank you, george. we're going to the latest on the other big story this morning. the collapse of a section of i-95 in philadelphia. we're learning the driver of the tanker that overturned did not survive the crash. janai norman is son the scene in philadelphia for us this morning. good morning, janai. >> reporter: hey, michael. sad update from the driver's family there. out here live at the scene, crews will be working around the clock to demolish the rest of that compromised bridge to continue cleaning up the wreckage before that lengthy rebuilding process can begin. this morning investigators poring through the wreckage of this massive inferno that led to the devastating collapse of a crucial i-95 overpass in philadelphia. new video shows the raging flames from the tanker truck carrying up to 8,500 gallons of gasoline that crashed sunday and

suffers large cracks at 1,000 degrees and at 2,500 degrees concrete melts. >> a gasoline truck fire, temperatures could reach 1,500 to 2,000 degrees. >> reporter: this fire was unique because it came from hydrocarbon fuel. that could release up to 1,800 degrees fahrenheit within 10 to 15 minutes of that fire starting, quickly compromising that concrete and steel, george. >> janai norman, thanks. the latest on inflation. new report is out today. stephanie ramos is here to break down what it means. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: the good news is the report is expected to show inflation is slowing down. the bad news is prices are still very high. the consumer price index climbed 4% in may. that's down from nearly 5% in april and just over 9% in june of 2022. when inflation was at a 40-year high. so while things are definitely

going in the right direction, prices are still much higher than they were before the pandemic. price increases for such household expenses like rent, groceries and used cars are adding to inflation. economists expect those prices will go lower in the coming months. even though this is the smallest monthly increase in inflation since april of 2021. it is still much higher than what the fed wants to see. the fed has been raising rates to fight inflation, meaning much higher mortgage and credit card rates. we will get the latest decision on rates tomorrow. robin? >> thank you so much, stefphstei now to severe weather on the move, with days of record rainfall, causing flash flooding in parts of colorado. ginger has the latest for us. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, robin. denver had their fourth wettest may on record. very wet spring across the state. now colorado springs has had more than 5 inches in two days. they have never done that in recorded history. to have that much in a two-day rainfall. we're talking about ecis gs back to 1890s, a lot of these records. unprecedented amounts of moisture.

killing one and injuring nearly a dozen. >> we probably have 10, 15 people out of the water. there's 20 people probably still in the cave stuck in the water. >> everybody was panicking. everybody was yelling real loud. >> reporter: this video from the monday morning tour inside lockport cave shows the under ground waterways moments before the crash, on board with a tour guide were 28 passengers, all local hospitality workers. the boat flipping upside down 300 feet inside the cave. >> by the time i realized what happened, the boat was on top of me and i couldn't find any air pockets or anything. i'm just trying to, like, breathe because i'm under water. >> reporter: emergency responders used an inflatable boat to rescue the passengers. the water temperature just 55 degrees. one rescue worker even suffering hypothermia. the response team tearing a hole in the cave to get more people out. >> we pulled seven people out of a hole about this big that we used a sledgehammer for about midway down.

i didn't really pay too much attention to it. when i woke up the next morning, it was windy, but it was beautiful. >> were there any flags? >> there were no flags. then again, i don't put that on anybody. >> officials telling abc news in this case, the nearest flag a mile away saying absence of a flag doesn't guarantee safety. >> i hear my mom screaming. so i looked at her. she pointed out to my son. said they are drowning. i didn't even think. i just reacted and started running into the water. >> there are a bunch of people getting swept into the ocean. some kids got sucked in. i think their dad went in after them. >> his niece and son were caught in a dangerous rip current. from the shore, he could see them waving their hands and screaming. hillis said he doesn't remember seeing any life guards. county officials say they were patrolling the area. hillis quickly forced to decide who to save first. >> i think the scariest point

to me was when i'm swimming to my son and i have to pass by him because my niece is in more danger. >> you had to make a decision? >> yes. but i knew that i had to pass him up to get to camille first. if i didn't, there was no way she would have made it. i swim past my son. i got to camille and she starts freaking out, you know? we're gonna die. we're gonna die. i go, honey, you're not gonna die. that's not gonna happen. a gentleman came and gave us a boogie board. i put camille and my sister on the board and pushed them away. i knew i had to come back for my son. when i got to him, he was pretty much limp. he didn't have any more strength to swim. i'm holding him. we're in 7 1/2 foot of water. you think that's not bad. but when you're holding a 130 pound kid and the waves come about 10, 12 foot tall and you're just sitting there, you can't swim. you're holding him, you are seeing his eyes roll back in the

back of his head. you're just thinking, lord, please. i really don't care about my life. i don't. if i can get him out of here, that's the only thing i'm gonna care about. >> after fighting for what he says felt like an eternity, hillis makes it back to shore with his son. >> it broke out to where i could walk my son, you know, out of the rip tide and start walking to the beach. he kind of got some of his energy back and was walking back. i was about, i don't know, 20 or 30 yards from the beach and i just passed out. >> that's when emt's performed rescue methods on peyton and his sister, yards apart from each other on shore. unconscious and experiencing lung and kidney failure, hillis was air lifted to pensacola's baptist hospital where he was placed on a ventilator spending two weakness the icu. >> when i was under i remember, i could hear everything perfectly clear, but they didn't know that i could.

it was like day 9 or 10 into it. i over hear them saying if he don't wake up here soon, i don't know what's gonna happen. i'm freaking out. as i'm under but i can't move. they have the hose going down my throat. >> after ten long days under sedation, hillis regained consciousness. >> first thing i remember is my mom and my daughter and my sister standing around me. to their credit, they acted like everything was normal, everything was fine, which calmed me down. i felt like everything was okay. i was completely amazed when i woke up, like, i couldn't move. i couldn't move my body. i couldn't get out of bed. >> what did the doctors say happened to you physically? >> they said i probably wouldn't reach full recovery for a year. i don't think my lungs are back to where they needed to be. >> where are you? >> physically, it's coming on okay.

mentally, things in my head, coming along lot slower. i'm just trying to take it one day at a time. >> how does something traumatic change you? >> makes you realize what's really important. if you're not here for your loved ones, your family, your friends, why are you here? you can say, is it this career? make this money? find this wife or husband? none of it matters. at the end of the day, none of it matters. >> is there a message in all of this for others out there? >> you have to respect the water. always be aware of your surroundings. i would think if you have small children, especially under the age of 10. it's very dangerous to just let your kids go out there and swim, especially without life jackets. >> your partner angela and countless others call you a hero. do you consider yourself a hero? >> not a hero. that's a very loose term that a lot of people like to apply to

things that happen. >> so what do you call yourself? >> i call myself a dad. >> a dad indeed. peyton's son, sister and niece, they are all doing well. peyton wanted to give a shout out to first responders and the nurses and doctors who cared for him from the moment he collapsed. he said they saved his life and they made all the difference in his recovery. >> a good thing that he is recovering and everything involved. to have that presence of mind and to know that his niece was in more danger at the time and to be able to save both of them and himself. he is a hero. >> he told me, i said, no training, anything? he said i just did what a parent would do. i feel i would have done this for any kid, not just my own. >> oh, yeah. >> amazing, amazing young man. we are glad he is okay. for anybody out there, if you are caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until you're out of it. if you can float, just relax. let it carry you until it slows down. rip currents do not usually go out very far. important information. >> hopefully that person who

prosecutors have photos showing trump stored some of those classified documents at his mar-a-lago resort, in a ballroom, storage room, even a bathroom. prosecutors charge trump knew that he was not authorized to hold onto those classified documents but did so anyway. in just a few hours, trump is expected to appear in court but without his full legal defense team. two of his attorneys resigned hours before the indictment was unsealed. trump traveled here early, in part to meet with new potential attorneys. we're told those meetings continue today. george? >> rachel scott, thanks. now to potential relief for renters. apartment rents are on the decline, shifting the market to the tenant's favor for the first time in years. stephanie ramos is back to break it down for us. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is good news if you're a renter. for the first time in years apartment rents are declining, finally putting the market in the renter's favor.

data from may shows asking prices for new leases rose just under 2% over the past year. that is down from the double digit increases a year ago and represents the biggest cooldown in recent history. according to software company. this is welcomed relief for renters in places such as riverside california, miami, florida, where monthly rents increased by 35% or more over the past three years. so why are prices dropping? those sky high rents are in demand as renters chose to take on roommates, move back in with parents or relocate to cheaper cities. according to the wall street journal a drop in rent over a yearly period has only happened one other time since the 2008 financial crisis. this pricing relief will be felt by millions and should also help ease inflation. michael? >> all right. thank you very much, stephanie. back now with the utah mom accused of killing her husband and later writing a children's book about grief.

the defense saying the money was from shared accounts. >> she was in debt. >> reporter: eric's sister saying kouri took out multiple life insurance policies, not just on eric, but their boys, also. >> i am truly concerned that she will stop at nothing to dig her way out of this problem, including murder. >> reporter: kouri's lawyer arguing money is not a motive and that kouri is innocent. >> being bad with money does not make you a murderer. >> reporter: now, kouri's defense team all said fentanyl was never found in the home, but prosecutors say text messages show kouri was trying to get her hands on the deadly drug in the days leading up to eric's death. the next step is a judge hopes to set a date for this preliminary hearing by the end of this month. guys? >> kayna, thank you very much. coming up in our gma morning menu, big news about wheel of fortune. pat sajack announcing that he's retiring after the next season. what's next for the beloved game show? also this morning, the new

it helps keep me undetectable. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva is two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's really nice not to have to rush home and take a daily hiv pill. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. every other month, and i'm good to go. small business owners don't always have time for cybersecurity.
