and stylish. we'll get out there in just a few. >> just a few. but we are going to start with the overnight developments surrounding the fbi and the search of donald trump's mar-a-lago resort. >> the former president said he will not oppose the move to unseal the search warrant and he encourages it. >> and new reports detailing precisely what investigators were looking for. the "washington post" reporting documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items. >> and this of course raises new questions this morning. we have complete coverage for you. let's get started with our chief white house correspondent kristen welker. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. that statement dropped just before midnight. former president trump saying he wants the search warrant unsealed, a source familiar with the matter telling me overnight, that mr. trump made that decision after talking to his team of layers, all amid the stunning details that investigators may have been looking for documents at the very heart of the country's national security. overnight, former president

trump with a defiant statement writing in part, not only will i not oppose the release of documents related to monday's fbi search at his mar-a-lago estate, but i'm going a step further by encouraging the immediate release of the revelation about what federal investigators were looking for at mar-a-lago. according to the "washington post," but not confirmed by nbc news, classified documents related to nuclear weapons were among the items fbi agents sought when they searched the former president's florida estate. the post cited sources familiar with the investigation. mr. trump calling the revelation a hoax this morning. his lawyer pressed overnight. >> is it your understanding that there were not documents related to our nuclear capabilities, or nuclear issues that had national security implications in the president's possession when the agents showed up at mar-a-lago? >> that's right. i don't believe they were. >> do you know for a fact they

were? have you spoken to the president about it? >> i have not specifically spoken to the president about what nuclear materials may or may not have been in there. i do not believe there were any. >> reporter: the "washington post" also reporting that as authorities pursued the investigation, some officials came to suspect the trump team was not being truthful, according to those sources familiar with the matter. nbc news has reached out to trump's team, but has not heard back. it all comes after that extraordinary public statement by attorney general merrick garland thursday, announcing the justice department has asked a federal judge to unseal the warrant. >> i personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. >> reporter: garland also hinting the authorities went forward with the search, after trying other methods. >> it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search. >> reporter: sources telling nbc news, a subpoena was delivered to mr. trump's office on june

3rd, requiring him to turn over classified material. at a meeting he set up to retrieve the documents, sources say officials asked to see the storage room, and the former president agreed. later, authorities sent an email to request better security and a second lock was added to the room. so the big question, what happens now? well, the judge has set a deadline of this afternoon, to let him know the position that the former president and his lawyers would take, given that mr. trump is saying he does not object, we could see those documents very soon. translation, we'll all be hitting the refresh button all day long. savannah? >> thank you. joining us now is nbc's ken delaney, our justice correspondent. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's get to. >> it the justice department has moved to unseal the search warrant in this matter and the property received.

what kind of information would be in those documents? >> so the warrant itself is usually a one-page document signed by a federal magistrate judge and it doesn't tell us much but it sometimes list or it often lists the law the fbi suspects was broken. so in this case, it expects to see statutes about the mishandling of government records, classified information, national defense information, and with attachments and we expect one of them to list the fbi items. and we expect it to be heavily redacted and i don't think it has an nascar transcript of putin for example. but law enforcement officials tell me we will learn something about the records and the seriousness of the investigation and the sensitivity of the documents trump took home with him. >> and you mentioned other documents. one of them is the search warrant affidavit. that's more of a narrative. that's where the agent gives the story, the factual background, the factual predicate for why the search was done in the first place. >> that's the most sensitive and revealing part of the warrant application and the fact that the d.o.j. is not seek release

it suggests to me there are parts of the investigation they are still trying to protect. the document would lay out the evidence that shows a crime occurred and why agents believe evidence of that crime existed in mar-a-lago and it may list confidential sources and it may list a larger context of the investigation. and it is part of a consortium of news organizations asking the judge to unseal this document. >> the former president issued a statement as we just showed saying release the documents now, and encouraged the documents to be released. does he have these two documents in his possession himself? could he release them? >> i mean experts say, those documents would have been given to trump's lawyers. they should have them. and they know exactly what's in them. and they could have released them before now, savannah. >> the attorney general confirmed that he's heard the authorization of the search warrant, it is standard practice

to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search. how do you read between the lines of that? is that sort of like the attorney general saying we tried to do this the easy way, we had to do a search this way? >> exactly. i think it reflects what nbc news has learned, what you heard from kristen, from our reporting, which is essentially, that the d.o.j. first asked nicely for these documents, and when that didn't work, they used a grand jury subpoena, and at that point sources tell us the justice department discovered evidence that the trump team was not being truthful with the subpoena and that prompted them to go to the judge. >> and redacted, fancy legal word to be blacked out, because it is so sensitive. there is a certain irony, because the more sensitive these documents are, the less likely we'll ever know, or will ever see them. >> that's a great point. we may never know the full sensitivity and how deep these secrets go that the president took to his home in florida. >> all right.

thank you very much. appreciate it. in the wake of that search, federal officials have raised serious concerns over the safety of fbi agents, and yesterday, an armed man breached the fbi building in cincinnati, ohio, leading to an hours long standoff and also, that suspect's eventual death nbc's stephanie gosk joins us with the lest from ohio. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. there are a lot of people shaking their heads wondering what would have happened if that gunman had gotten past the visitor center and into the fbi building he was brandishing an ar-15 style rifle and firing a nail gun. and officials familiar with the matter tell us he was at the u.s. capitol on january 6th. although we don't have more information about the motive, we do know in the days leading up to this attack, he was posting online after the raid at former president trump's mar-a-lago home the suspect identified by law

enforcement officials to nbc news as ricky walters shiffer, apparently pictured here outside the capitol during the january 6th riots. according to police, the attack in ohio started there, speeding on to the int state. during that time, he appeared to post online about list failed attempt to break in. writing at 9:29 a.m., i thought i had a way through bullet proof glass and i didn't if you don't hear from me, it is true, i tried attacking the fbi. that message shared on truth social, the social media platform founded by mr. trump's media company. he stayed for hours in a cornfield trying to negotiate

until -- >> officers moved in and tried to take the suspect into custody. the suspect then raised the firearm and shots were fired at the suspect. >> reporter: shiffer died at the scene. the fbi was already on alert after pro-trump internet forums erupted with violent threats in the days after the mar-a-lago search christopher wray was asked if he was worried the search could trigger retaliation against the fbi. >> any threats against law enforcement are deplorable and dangerous. >> reporter: the rhetoric also ramping up >> this is the fbi being used as a political weapon. >> it's like what we thought about the gestapo. >> reporter: republican congressman paul gosra earlier this week tweeting we must destroy the fbi. overnight republican congressman liz cheney and one of the leaders of the house's january 6th investigation, writing she was ashamed of fellow republicans attacking the fbi, adding these are sickening comments that put the lives of

patriotic public officials at risk no law enforcement were hurt during the attack. with the department here in cincinnati, the fbi saying it takes -- they are investigating. >> stephanie gosk in cincinnati, thank you. there are fresh signs of the u.s. economy jolted by record inflation may finally be starting to pump the brakes on the run away prices. and today the house is set to vote on that landmark economic and climate package passed along party line in the senate earlier this week. so what does it all add up to for you? nbc's sam brock joins us with more on that sam, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. look, gas prices falling, and certainly a great first step, because fuel affects the cost of just about everything else but you talked, savannah, families and business owners, with food costs right now are soaring, many of the cases are double what they were and rent is relentless

there is optimism we're headed in a better direction. for the american economy that's been beaten up by soaring inflation, there are critical clue this is morning that things may be slowly improving. average gas prices drop below $4 for the first ti since march. >> yes, i really did >> and the ppi, what producers paid for their goods fell half a percent last month the first dip since 2020 still, some say the real benchmark for progress is clear. >> prices have dropped it's real simple >> the polinskis of connecticut are taking a first vacation this year to florida. >> i think we feel a little more comfortable the way the economy is going >> and hope is on the horizon for businesses battling inflation. what has this wave of inflation done to your menu? >> prices on our menu have gone up. >> reporter: brian hershey, owner of the billy's snow crab inc. in florida and says he is optimistic that inflation will

turn a corner an he can drop prices, now the signature snow crab at $51 a pound. what were they a year ago? >> they were about a year and a half ago, they were $28 a pound. >> reporter: he said lower fuel bills help immensely but part of a larger picture. >> labor costs are still very high packaging supplies are up. food costs are still very high even though we are starting to see a little relief in that area >> reporter: later today, the house will vote on the inflation reduction act that's already cleared the senate which among other things will provide tax credits for cleaner homes and cars and ultimately cap medicare drug costs. although not any time soon >> let's be clear. the medicare pricing provision negotiating prices for ten drugs doesn't kick in until the year 2026 and then expand to 15 drugs in 2027. >> reporter: but many americans are looking for help now this is like a tidal wave? >> yes, a huge tidal wave and

i'm in the path. >> reporter: and another reason to be bullish, the inflation rate has remauined the same mont after month. rising costs may have finally peaked however, beware, the cost of crude oil per barrel is up $6 in the last few day and could be a sign that our progress on the gas front could be short-lived guys, back to you. >> i hope not. thank you very much. let us take a turn now because it was a memorable night, major league baseball, the second annual field of dreams game. jacob soboroff with us now with some highlights. >> dare you not to cry >> incredible. good morning you guys. good morning to you at home as well two iconic franchises, the cubs and the reds took the field last night in iowa, both started playing in the 1800s, and they put on honestly a spectacular show just a little more than a home run's distance away from that where that beloved movie tha
