7:04 am
in court documents obtained by politico and a source with direct knowledge confirming their authenticity with abc news, prosecutors promised the president's son legal immunity for any other crimes that might be covered by information uncovered by the investigation including lavish spending and various business deals. in 2017 hunter receiving over $1.6 million from chinese companies, some $660,000 from domestic business interest, half a million dollars from a ukrainian energy company and money from a romanian business and a multinational law firm. the document adds that in 2018 biden continued to earn handsomely and spend wildly while in the throws of addiction. amassed another $2.6 million in income and ignored his tax obligations. biden's lawyers reached a deal with david weiss, who was appointed by former president trump, but kept in place by president biden. under the terms, hunter biden
7:05 am
agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and prosecutors agreed not to prosecute him for illegal possession of a firearm, as long as he met conditions like staying drug free. but from the start of the hearing, the judge poked holes in that deal calling it atypical, even questioning whether it was constitutional. noreika also appointed by trump, peppered both sides by questions that drove home at one key issue, whether hunter biden was granted immunity from other crime. when a prosecutor said no, biden's lawyer shot back that the deal was null and void. sparking gasps in the courtroom. with the deal falling apart in real time, both sides huddled on and off for negotiations, sometimes right out in open court. one of biden's lawyers even heard telling prosecutors this is, quote, really bad for everyone and threatened to rip the deal up. through it all, hunter biden appeared visibly agitated as
7:06 am
prosecutors made clear their investigation is on going. after three hours of back and forth the judge deferred the deal for now, telling both sides she would not be a rubber stamp and acknowledging the little bit of a curve ball that she had thrown into the proceedings. so now the judge has given both sides 30 days to come up with a deal she will approve, if they can. the white house, they're deflecting questions on this. the press secretary saying hunter biden is a private citizen and this is a personal matter. george? >> okay, terry. thanks. let's bring in pierre thomas, dan abrams. dan, what a stunner this was. seems like no one saw it coming. >> no. plea deals do fall apart on occasion. it's rare but they do. not usually for this kind of reason, where it seemed like the prosecution and the defense both had not put in the language properly and had not even reached a formal agreement on a critical term in there.
7:07 am
but remember yesterday morning i said to you, when it comes to hunter biden, anything can happen. i think that's exactly what happened here. the level of scrutiny. >> pierre, what do we know about this on going investigation? >> i think we can take them at their word when they said in open court there is an on going investigation. specifically they mentioned they're looking at this whole issue of whether he properly registered as a foreign agent. that's a key. one of the things his defense attorneys had made the point of, look, they've been investigating this man for half a decade. if they had a more serious charge, you would think by now they would have brought it. clearly there's still something open-ended they're looking into. but that's about where it's at. >> these investigations began under president trump. >> exactly. >> dan, so what happens now? 30 days? do you expect it to happen? >> i do. i expect they'll be able to work something out and figure out what the scope of the immunity is, what exactly is the conduct? what exactly is the timing that is covered here? i think they'll get a little more specific on the language, with regard to the gun charge. which member, isn't technically
7:08 am
a plea, just an argument not to prosecute. i think they're gonna figure that out and bring it back to the judge. >> thanks very much. robin? >> gentlemen, thank you. new questions about the health of senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, after he froze midsentence while addressing reporters. our senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill with the latest. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. this started just like any other press conference but took a sudden and abrupt turn. mitch mcconnell frozen standing there in front of the cameras, unable to speak, prompting fresh questions about his health. it was an unsettling and startling moment on capitol hill. >> good afternoon, everyone. >> reporter: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. >> good bipartisan cooperation and a string of -- >> reporter: freezing mid sentence during a press

conference. the 81-year-old staring blankly ahead for 20 seconds. republican colleagues alarmed. senator john boraso, who is also a medical doctor, stepping in. >> hey, mitch. anything else you want to say? let's go back to your office. do you want to say anything else to the press? >> reporter: mcconnell was escorted back to his office. 12 minutes later he returned taking questions and shrugging it all off. but the episode putting the republican leader's health back in the spotlight. in march he fell in his d.c. hotel, suffering a concussion and fractured rib. since then he has struggled, at times appearing to have difficulty hearing. >> what is my concern about >> artificial intelligence. >> i had a hard time hearing your voice. sorry about that. >> reporter: this morning mcconnell insists he is okay, telling reporters he even got a call from his former senate colleague president joe biden. >> president called to check on
7:10 am
me. i told him i got sandbagged. >> how are you feeling now, sir? >> fine. >> have you seen a doctor? >> any idea what happened? >> huh? >> any idea what happened? >> i'm fine. >> dehydrated? >> reporter: mcconnell tells me he felt light headed during that press conference. this morning we are learning he suffered a fall at the airport two weeks ago. sources tell me he returned back to capitol hill and was fine. sources also note he has been using a wheelchair as a precautionary measure to get around. mcconnell did suffer polio as a child and has acknowledged he has had difficulty climbing stairs. linsey? >> scary moments there yesterday, rachel. thank you. now to the federal reserve raising interest rates now for the 11th time in the past year and a half as it looks to try to cool inflation. whit johnson is here with what it means for your wallet. >> reporter: good morning. with this latest move here, interest rates are now the highest they've been in the u.s. in 22 years.
7:11 am
federal reserve raised interest rates by another quarter of a percentage point yesterday, continuing its efforts to fight inflation, hiking rates to a range between 5.25% and 5.5%. that means consumers and businesses will feel the impact. mortgage rates have almost doubled since march of last year. credit card rates are at a record high, 20% on average. new car loans are at a 15 year high. all of those rates could go even higher. this is the 11th rate hike since the spring of 2022. while inflation has dropped significantly in the past year, it is still above the fed's target. it could be sometime before americans see their borrowing costs come down. despite all of this, the economy has remained resilient and jerome powell said the fed staff are no longer forecasting a recession although slowdown in economic growth is expected, george? >> whit, thank you very much. we're going to go overseas to the war in ukraine. ramping up their counter offensive against russia.
7:12 am
chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is on the scene with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. it does appear we could be potentially significant point in this war with large scale battles being waged across the country. in the southeast, ukrainian troops appear to be making a big push in the south telling the new york times this is now the main thrust of the nearly 2-month-old counter offensive. some are questioning whether or not it is exactly that. whatever this push is, there are conflicting reports as to how successful it is. with russia claiming a significant loss of ukrainian lives and equipment, including american made fighting vehicles. one senior ukrainian source confirming there were indeed serious losses. at the same time you have russia also launching a large scale push of its own in the northeast. ukraine, of course, under pressure to show results on the battlefield. reality on the ground is still this. that russian defenses are stiff, they're going to go slow, violent and incredibly costly. robin? >> ian, thank you. we have more news from overseas. developing news.

back now on gma. moment sea lions charged beach goers in san diego. it happened right after life guards told people not to get too close. matt gutman joins us with the very latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, linsey. seems like it's the summer trend. humans getting too dangerously close to wild animals who then react. this latest installment happened in la jolla.
7:44 am
bunch of people getting too close to a nursery of sea lions. the sea lions acting territoryial and chasing them off. in florida a man riding his personal water craft right through a pod of protected manatees. this moment la jolla cove in san diego, the latest example of tourists behaving badly, often for the sake of a selfie. two sea lions charging at beach goers, defending their territory. just moments before that, life guards warning not to get too close. >> large male sea lions. >> reporter: suddenly another sea lion dashes out of the water darts towards the crowd, prompting everyone to run. male sea lions can reach up to seven feet in length and weigh
7:45 am
up to 750 pounds. they're capable of reaching 25 miles per hour on land. >> got a big set of teeth on them. they can give a very serious bite. then you have this conflict when a sea lion hurts somebody, what ends up being hurt the most is the sea lion. either has to be euthanized or removed. it becomes a threat to people. >> reporter: in florida, this disturbing video showing man on a personal watercraft riding straf u manatees. >> catch him with his phone in his hand driving right through them to take a picture. right in the direction of the manatees, put him right on top of them. >> reporter: their clapping and flailing means they're in distress. they are listed and protected by the sanctuary act making it illegal to touch them. >> my initial thought was horror.
7:46 am
likely those manatees were congregating, a mating ball. you can see the panic as they try to disperse. >> reporter: experts say the number one thing to remember when around these wild animals is to keep your distance. >> i understand there's a curiosity to get a good look at these animals. they're fascinating. they're incredible. please understand by this type of behavior, you are only hurting the animal and could be hurting yourself as well. >> reporter: the concern among wild life officials is that humans keep getting closer and closer to these wild animals which gets them used to being near humans. then an invisible line is crossed, the animals act aggressively and sometimes they have to be put down. wild life officials say not only illegal to be that dangerously close to the animals. it's not only dangerous, it can also be cruel. guys? >> i'm glad you did that recap. cannot emphasize that enough, matt. thank you. coming up we talk exclusively with the doctors who performed a historic surgery to separate 3-year-old conjoined twins.

8:03 am
george. this morning hunter biden's legal future is once again in doubt after that wild plea hearing in the federal courthouse here where the judge gave a long, hard look at that unusual plea deal that had been struck for the president's son and blew it up. this morning for the first time we are seeing the details of the deal hunter biden struck with prosecutors before it collapsed in court. in court documents obtained by politico and a source with direct knowledge confirming their authenticity with abc news, prosecutors promised the president's son legal immunity from any other crimes that might be covered by information uncovered by the investigation, including lavish spending and various business deals. hunter biden's lawyers had reached a deal with the u.s. attorney for delaware, david weiss, who was appointed by former president trump but kept in place by president biden. under the terms, hunter biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and prosecutors agreed not to prosecute him for illegal possession of a firearm as long
8:04 am
as he met conditions like staying drug-free. but from the start of the hearing, the federal judge poked holes in that deal, calling it atypical, even questioning whether it was constitutional. noreaga peppered both sides with questions that drove at one key issue, whether hunter biden would be granted immunity from prosecution for other possible crimes. after three hours of back and forth, judge noreika deferred the deal for now, telling both sides she would not be a rubber stamp, and acknowledging the curve ball she had thrown into the proceedings. so now the judge has given both sides 30 days to talk, find ways to address her concerns and come up with a new deal, if they can. george? >> we will see. terry moran, thank you very much. linsey? encouraging news treating him suffering from postpartum depression. a drug is showing promise in its

taking this drug. the benefit continued into days 28 and 45. so some really good data. >> many women suffer from this. when could we see it available? is this something you would recommend for somebody nursing? >> in terms of breast-feeding the women in this clinical trial were not permitted to breast-feed. we don't know what effect, if anything, this has on breast milk. that will be tbd, to be determined. the fda will vote on this by august 5th. we don't know the cause. as we say, linsey, one in seven women deal with postpartum depression. so this is a potentially big break through for them. >> promising news, jen. >> thank you both. ♪ holiday ♪ >> you hear that, right? ♪ celebrate ♪ it's madonna's classic hit "holiday" from her 1983 debut album madonna, which is turning 40 years old today. it dropped when she was just 24. included hits like "borderline."

>> i feel terrific. man of steel. >> that is good to hear. but as you know, there's a lot of controversy -- >> or plastic. i think that's what they put in there. >> lots of controversy over this bill you passed. deep divisions, mass protests in israel, national strikes. thousands of reservists have said they don't want to serve now. dozens of top national security officials say this harmed israel's national security. back in march, you put this on hold because you said you wanted to prevent a rift in the country and avoid civil war. why go forward now? >> well, because i think we have to bring back israeli democracy in line with what is common to all democracies. the essence of democracy is the balance between the will of the majority and rights of the minority. that's achieved by the balance between the three branches of government. that's been taken off the rails in israel in the last 20 years because we have the most activist judicial court on the planet. it's arrogant, taking powers from the government, from the
8:14 am
executive and legislative branches. we're trying to correct it. i want to bring the pendulum to the middle, not to the other side. there's a middle ground and i hope we can achieve it. that's why we're doing it. imagine in the united states the supreme court could tell the executive, the president, okay, we are nullifying any one of your decisions just based on something that we think is unreasonable. you would not accept it. we don't accept it. we have to correct it. that's what we just did. it's a minor correction. it's ascribed as the end of democracy. that's silly. when the dust settles everybody will be okay. >> you may think it's silly. you may say it's a minor correction. we've all seen what's been happening in israel. we've seen the protests. we've seen the strikes. we've seen the outcry from other officials. we've heard president biden say it doesn't make sense to pursue this right now. israel should go slow. why not take that advice? >> well, i did. this has been as slow as you can go.
8:15 am
i have been here in this government for seven months. i didn't proceed with anything until, as i say, this minor correction which, by the way, many of the opposition leaders supported just before the election. they changed their views now for political reasons. i held back. i actually pressed the pause button for three months because i did take seriously the concerns. i don't think the arguments are real, but i think the concern is real, because people are afraid. i understand that. so i pressed the pause button for three months, tried to get compromise, anything and couldn't get anything from the opposition. therefore, decided to proceed with this minor correction, which is common to all democracies. i'm still trying, as i said to president biden. i'll try to proceed, if not with consensus with the opposition, the other side of the political eye within our parliament, at least on something that has
8:16 am
broad acceptance in the public. i'm more opt mistake now than i was before. now they see we are prepared to move without them, maybe we'll be able to move with them. i hope the opposition leaders show responsibility and come to the middle. there is a middle out there. >> what do you say to your critics who say this reform was designed in part for you to protect yourself against corruption charges you've been facing? >> i think it's ridiculous. it has nothing to do with my trial because it's been proceeding for three years. it's actually unravelling. i don't know if you know a few weeks ago the three judges called in the prosecution and said, listen, we haven't heard any of the defense witnesses but we're telling you drop the bribery charge. that's the main charge. you should drop it right now. look, i have only one request for my trial that hasn't been met so far, that we have live television coverage of the trial. it's the best show in town. this has nothing to do with my trial.
8:17 am
it's a bogus charge. this is something that concerns millions of israelis who, for the last 20 years, feel like they are voting into a government, voting to policies that are then nullified by a judiciary that basically arrogated itself majority of power. i don't think that's right for democracy. that's what's driving this reform, not my individual case, which is proceeding fine. >> you have not been invited to the white house. is that a snub? >> i think president biden -- i know president biden, the last conversation we had, invited me to the white house in the fall. i think it's in september. we will finalize a date. look, i think our relations are very strong. i'm not just saying this. i think the cooperation of intelligence, on security, on strategic matters is as strong as it's ever been. i can tell you that we're working on things that i think will change history.
8:18 am
specifically we're trying to block iran's aggression, but also advance peace with saudi arabia which in addition to the historic abraham accord, changing the middle east. i think this will change the world. i think this will be a pivotal time in history. we're working on it. i think the relations with the u.s. are as strong as ever. believe me, the u.s. is an irreplaceable ally. we have no better friend. the united states has no better friend than israel, not only in the middle east but in the world. as we move into a highly technological world, israel's technological prowess serves the interest of both our countries and has saved many, many american lives. >> finally, what can you do to get over divisions in israel? >> talk. reach out to the other side. get to something that is realistic.
8:19 am
i think israel is a democracy. we will remain a democracy. i think it will be a strong democracy after some reforms are met. majority of the people realize that we have to correct some of the imbalances. i hope we can do it across the board, across the aisle. but if not, we should do it with something that has broad national consensus. i'll do my best to do it, and we'll get over it. people don't understand democracy. they don't understand france can have divisions, the u.s. can have divisions, that israel has these divisions. the strength of democracy is that we voice division, we protest, but ultimately we make important democratic decisions. that will be the case in israel as well. >> mr. prime minister, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, george. pleasure being with you. >> let's go to ginger. >> thanks, george. one of the big reasons we've been annihilating these records is because we haven't had a lot of rain. phoenix has had zero. fourth longest stretch so far on
