for rhiannon and i'm andrew dymburt. >> we begin with the audio recording of former president trump discussing confidential documents. we've known. the recording is a critical piece of evidence in the federal indictment against him. >> but this morning we're hearing it for the first time. this morning, abc news has obtained the audio recording of former president trump appearing to show off secret documents he did not declassify. >> i just found. isn't that amazing? this totally wins my case. you know, except it is highly confidential. secret. >> the conversation with aides and two people working on an autobiography of former trump chief of staff mark meadows took place in 2021 at trump's new jersey golf club. the contents of the recording have previously been reported and are quoted in the justice department's indictment related to trump's handling of classified documents. after leaving office. but the recording itself has never before been heard publicly. trump is heard railing against his former joint chiefs chairman, general mark milley,

while shuffling papers, and he references a document about attacking iran, in which trump says milley compiled. >> he said that what i wanted to attack iran. isn't it amazing? i have a big pile of papers. this thing just came up. look this was him. they presented me this. this is off the record, but they presented me this. this was him . this was the defense department and him. >> the recording appears to undercut trump's claim that he had declassified the documents before leaving office, and a staffer is heard acknowledging that there could be something wrong with trump sharing the material. >> these are the papers. this was done by the military. given to me. i think we can probably be right. >> we'll have to see. yeah, we'll try to figure out. >> as president, i could have declassified it. now i can't, you know. but this is now we have a problem. isn't that

interesting? >> trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 federal charges, including conspiracy and obstruction. prosecutors accused him of illegally keeping classified documents at his mar a lago resort after news broke that prosecutors were in possession of the recording. trump claimed to fox news that he was not referring to an actual document . >> but i didn't have a document per se. there was nothing to declassify. these were newspaper stories, magazine stories and articles. >> trump says he had personal items mixed in with the documents, which is why he says he did not comply with the subpoena to return them, react to the audio recording last night. trump's campaign said the audiotape provides context, proving once again that president trump did nothing wrong at all. the president is speaking rhetorically, but trump's former lawyer called the release of the recording a problem for trump's defense as it bolsters the government's claim under the espionage act. >> and in this instance, in his own words, he's saying it's not declassified. so that's that's very troubling for him. no doubt about it. >> and the first hearing in

trump's case is scheduled next month. a hearing is scheduled today for walt nada, that's trump's aide who was also charged in this case. severe weather across the eastern half of the us has left thousands of air travelers in limbo. >> storms canceled, more than 1400 flights yesterday. airports in new york, boston and atlanta were the hardest hit. patience ran low at jfk airport, where passengers say their flight was delayed six times. and at laguardia, passengers boarded a flight to toronto, but it never took off. >> it left around 130. and then we got back to the gate around 630. and how long is the flight to toronto? one hour. one hour. one hour. >> meanwhile, across the south, at least three people were killed by falling trees. and we'll check today's forecast in just a few minutes. meanwhile new details about the revolt in russia that threatened vladimir putin's grip on power. we're now learning that the mercenary group got closer to the kremlin than reported. and we're learning why the group turned around. abc's justin finch has those details. justin, good morning.

suppressed. in any case, denouncing the organizers for betraying russia, though never mentioning prigozhin by name. pagosa also broke his silence from an unknown location store owner, saying in an audio recording that his goal was not to overthrow putin's government, but rather to protest at moscow's attempt to dissolve his forces into the russian army. >> the terrible decision that president putin had made to both both invade the neighbor and then send all of these russian boys as young soldiers to die. and clearly, prigozhin was angry about that. the senior us official who spoke to abc news believes prigozhin will head to belarus, but will not likely stay there, adding that, quote, his long term survivability is hard to calculate. >> meanwhile, former ambassador to ukraine bill taylor says the attempted revolt highlights putin's weaknesses right now, the big picture is the weakness

of russia, both at the top and even on the lines. >> and the strength and the strength of the ukrainians as well as the preparation of the ukrainians for this counteroffensive which has been building for months, comes at a great time for the ukrainians. and we could get more details about putin's deal with prigozhin today when the president of belarus, a key putin ally, is expected to speak to reporters. >> andrew, justin, thank you. >> meanwhile, today, ukraine announced new progress in its counteroffensive, saying it seized control of a village near the city of kherson. >> authorities in montana on the scene of saturday's train derailment in the yellowstone river says asphalt is still leaking from the train cars. the train was also carrying molten sulfur when a bridge collapsed at nine. cars are in the water, but officials said last night they do not expect any long term damage from that spill. abc's matt gutman is there along the

yellowstone river here you can see these giant splotches of what appears to be asphalt in the sun. >> it gets sticky. now we're only about half a mile away from where that train derailed, dumping multiple rail cars with molten sulfur and asphalt into the pristine yellowstone river here. >> and right now, divers are trying to assess how much material spilled. no word yet, though, on the cause of that derailment. >> police outside of boston say they've captured the man who stabbed a husband and wife celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. the suspect in the murders of bruno and gilda d'amore and her 97 year old mother will face a judge today. their bodies were found in their home in newton. the suspect lived nearby and a neighbor says he struggled with mental health issues. police say the attack was apparently random. >> m now to an abc news exclusive with 17 year old ralph galle. he was shot and wounded when he went to the wrong address in kansas city to pick up his brothers in april. the 84 year old home owner claimed he thought someone was trying to break into his house and said he

next year drivers could be charged a toll to enter midtown manhattan, one of the busiest commercial areas in the world. >> and one of the things we're going to see almost immediate once congestion pricing is implemented did is better bus speeds in midtown. everybody, everybody knows that a bus should go faster than a chicken . >> similar systems have been in place in cities like singapore and london. officials from that city say the charges have reduced congestion by 30% and boosted bus travel by more than 30, while improving air quality fans of the new york plan hope for the same less congestion, better air quality, safer streets, better transit fees have yet to be finalized, but one proposal would charge each driver $23 for entering the congestion zone during rush hour. it could generate more than $1 billion a year to help fund improvements to the city's struggling mass transit system, which is in deep debt and has seen a sharp drop in riders since the pandemic. >> we are going to get more elevators, more escalators. we are going to move busses in the

outer boroughs. we are going to make sure that transit works for the most marginalized community . >> but critics say the new toll would crush taxi drivers and commuters from neighboring states who already pay up to $17 to enter a tunnel or cross a bridge into the city. their fighting for an exemption. san francisco has also considered a congestion pricing plan in the us city, with the most traffic congestion. chicago already has congestion pricing for rideshare apps. >> we'll see how all of that plays out. well, coming up, the fight over taco tuesday is intensifying. >> but first, the guy who was all alone on his flight after an 18 hour delay my a1c was up here; now, it's down with rybelsus®. his a1c? it's down with rybelsus®. my doctor told me rybelsus® lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill and that people taking rybelsus® lost more weight.
