3:30 am
cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm matt pieper, cbs news, new york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening and thank you for joining us. i'm jericka duncan in for norah. tonight there are new details about the unprecedented fbi search of former president donald trump's florida home. what we're learning about the investigation that's focused on his potential mishandling of what could be classified material. sources tell cbs news that the fbi was met by trump's attorneys along with the secret service. it is the first time in american history that a search warrant has been issued on a former president. and given the political implications, approval came from the very highest levels of the
3:31 am
department of justice. white house officials say president biden had no prior knowledge of the search, and current fbi director christopher wray was appointed by trump five years ago. cbs's robert costa is here in studio, but we begin tonight with cbs's major garrett with details from palm beach, florida. good major. >> reporter: jericka, good evening. a trump lawyer who was at mar-a-lago yesterday told us the fbi pretty much arrived in full force with agents and personnel numbering more than 30. they brought a box truck for document removal. the search this lawyer told us targeted three rooms -- the former president's bedroom, his office and a storage room. the fbi executed a search of mar-a-lago, former president trump's primary residence, around 10:00 a.m. monday. two sources told cbs news investigators seized boxes and paper documents but no electronics. the secret service maintains a constant presence at the former
3:32 am
president's home and facilitated the fbi's entry. authorities also opened trump's safe. at least two of trump's attorneys were present during the search. >> that's right. another day in paradise. this was a strange day. you've probably already read about it. >> reporter: the documents are believed to contain classified information. trump and federal investigators had been in negotiations over the records, and the fbi visited mar-a-lago in june. mishandling classified materials is potentially criminal. federal law requires presidential records to be turned over to the national archives. it is not known what documents were taken by federal authorities monday. the justice department has so far declined to comment. ♪ as night fell monday, pro-trump protesters gathered outside mar-a-lago. more assembled there today. what do you think will be the practical political reaction for people who favor or support former president trump after yesterday? >> i think he will win in a landslide in 2024. >> reporter: trump was not home
3:33 am
but released a statement alleging that he was a victim of a politicized justice department, a sentiment echoed by former vice president mike pence who said "the appearance of continued partisanship by the justice department must be addressed." congressional republicans rushed to trump's defense. house minority leader kevin mccarthy said republicans would investigate attorney general merrick garland's role in the fbi's search. >> what the hell are these people doing? >> reporter: south carolina republican lindsey graham spoke to trump today and called the search of mar-a-lago suspicious and dangerous, yet helpful to the president's political fortunes. >> one thing i can tell you is that i believed he was going to run before. i'm stronger in my belief now. >> reporter: trump eager to portray himself the victim sent out two fund-raising texts to supporters. speaking of money, in a separate development a federal appeals court ruled democrats on the house ways and means committee can obtain former president trump's personal and business tax returns, something trump
3:34 am
argued unsuccessfully congress had no legitimate right to pursue. later tonight at his golf club in bedminster, new jersey trump will huddle over dinner with more than a dozen conservative house republicans. je jericka? >> major garrett for us in west palm beach tonight. thank you. for more on the possible criminal and political implications of this fbi search let's bring in cbs's robert costa. robert, good evening to you. what sort of implications does this have for a potential run for the former president, which is looking at a possible bid in 2024? >> it could speed up his decision on 2024. cbs news has learned tonight that many top republicans on the trump side of the party are calling him saying get in now, consolidate the base around you, block out rivals from running and complicate life for the justice department. become a federal candidate even while you might be under federal investigation. others are saying hold off, wait, see how this develops. >> and donald trump has endorsed nearly 200 candidates already
3:35 am
since he left office. what are republicans saying in reference to him being the sort of de facto leader by some? some would say that that's what he is in the party. >> he is the leader of a wing of the party. but the party isn't universally behind him. as major said, about a dozen house republicans are going to be in new jersey tonight rallying at his side. but senate republican leader mitch mcconnell today, quiet. silent. didn't want to weigh in. wants to see how this all develops. that's the mood inside the senate gop in some quarters, wait to see how this plays out. because they know that trump is still a risk for the party in many ways. but at the same time so many in the party are ready to aggressively go after the justice department in 2023 should republicans win the house majority this fall house republicans, jim jordan and others, preparing investigations. political war on the horizon. >> all right. robert costa for us tonight. thank you. now to some breaking news. the manhunt in albuquerque, new
3:36 am
mexico is over. police say they have made an arrest in the killings of four muslim men whose deaths sparked fear in muslim communities nationwide. cbs's omar villafranca is there. >> reporter: tonight the manhunt in albuquerque is over. >> this crime felt -- made our community feel like it was under attack. >> reporter: authorities announcing they have arrested muhammed syed, 51, after finding efld that ties him to the murders of two muslim immigrants. >> this is the kind of work, this collaboration, that will yield results. this is law enforcement and all partners at their best. >> reporter: investigators are charging syed with two counts of homicide and are investigating other charges related to the other two murders. authorities say they matched gun casings from the crime scenes with the gun found in syed's home. police say the suspect may have known the victims to some extent and described an interpersonal political that may have led to the murders. >> as we know, over the last few days our community has been
3:37 am
rocked to its core by the loss of members from our muslim community. >> reporter: the break in the case comes after four men were shot in ambush-style attacks, three in the last two weeks and one in november. 25-year-old naeem hussain was shot friday just hours after attending funeral services for muhammad afzaal hussain and aftab hussein who were killed in similar attacks. last year 62-year-old mohammed zaher ahmadi was killed in a similar style attack. tonight's arrest ends the cloud of fear that gripped this tight-knit community, but police say the investigation continues. >> there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. there's still a lot of evidence that needs to be verified. this case is not resolved until we have a successful prosecution and people are held accountable. >> reporter: police credit the muslim community for sending in hundreds of texts that led to an arrest. and even though a suspect is in custody, they don't plan on stopping those increased patrols

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm kaitlyn huey burns in washington. thanks for staying with us. moscow is insisting that a series of explosions at a military base in crimea was not the result of a ukrainian attack. huge explosions rocked the saki air field in early afternoon. russia saying only that they were caused by the detonation of aviation ammunition. so far the annexed peninsula has not been attacked in the war. inside ukraine russian forces stepped up their attacks in the south and east of the country. charlie d'agata is in mykolaiv, a frontline city of ukraine's
3:41 am
south coast. >> reporter: that is the trauma ward of a hospital, bombed just over a week ago. amazingly, nobody was hurt. weapons, weapons, weapons, and more weapons. that's the message we got from the top general here ahead of a massive counteroffensive in a showdown for this port city. we spokeromarchenko in the rubb of the regional government headquarters. no one here needs reminding that russia still holds the upper hand in heavy weapons. the general told us that for every 100 shells the russians fire at the city his forces can respond with only 10. but the kremlin's forces are running out of precision-guided missiles like the one that destroyed this building in the early days of the war. general marchenko gave us a long list of weapons being unleashed on this city from long-range missiles to soviet-era rockets from the '60s, even firing anti-aircraft munitions at buildings. >> and they're using cluster
3:42 am
bombs here too? >> the general credited american-supplied himars for striking weapons depot and several supply lines deep behind russian front lines. what difference has the himars system made for the war effort? >> translator: it's one of the main factors why we kept our ground, he said. and started taking advantage on the field. but the russian onslaught has been relentless. the frontline town of bakmut has suffered ferocious bombardment. the shelling of the eastern donbas region's main water supply has left residents in the city of slovyansk without water for two ploz. adding to the suffering in cities under siege. this city comes under nightly bombardment. it was hit again last night and early this morning. explosions off in the distance. the general told us it happens around three times a day, hitting random civilian targets,
3:43 am
even hospitals. >> charlie d'agata in ukraine. the fighting comes as the white house announced it is sending another billion dollars worth of military aid to ukrainian forces. mostly ammunition that comes from existing u.s. stockpiles. one thing the u.s. army does not have enough of these days is recruits. so the pentagon announced a new program to help fill the ranks. david martin has the story. >> reporter: fresh out of college and looking for a steady paycheck, kevin and jocelyn sellers went to the go army website. >> the army pays well. the army can really provide a future for us. and for our children, who don't even exist yet. >> reporter: but there was one very big problem. he weighed 305 pounds, and she weighed 190. obesity is one reason more than 3/4 of young men and women do not meet the basic eligibility requirements for enlisting in the armed forces. another is a shocking decline in test scores for reading and
3:44 am
math. >> only about 1/3 are passing the academic test to come to the army, where it used to be about 2/3. >> reporter: army chief of staff general james mcconnell expects the warmy will be about 10,000 recruits short this year. have you missed by that much before? >> well, we haven't missed by that number in recent history. >> reporter: mcconville says the army is setting up prep camps to get potential recruits in good enough phycal and mental shape to enlist. >> four, five, six. >> reporter: kevin and jocelyn sellers did it on their own, working out with their recruiter staff sergeant jimmy vander haul. >> i lost almost 70 pounds and jocelyn's lost quite a bit of weight as well. >> i went from 190 to 160. >> so about 100 pounds between you. >> yeah. we lost a whole person. >> reporter: they are finally scheduled to report to basic training in two weeks. but it took them over a year of heavy lifting to qualify. it's a small victory in what
3:45 am
pentagon officials say is the most difficult recruiting year since the all-volunteer force was created nearly 50 years ago. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. one of the largest garbage dumps in the world is located in the otherwise pristine waters between california and hawaii. max starro reports on one group's effort to clean it up. >> reporter: the sailing ship kauai returned from its trip to the great pacific garbage patch. its catch, tons of abandoned fishing equipment, single use plastics, and household goods. >> it's a very sad and eerie feeling to be in the middle of the ocean and to see our own garbage floating out there. >> reporter: located halfway between hawaii and california the floating mess contains more than 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic, which amounts to about 250 pieces of debris for every human on the planet. the kauai covered more than 4600
3:46 am
nautical miles between san francisco and honolulu. after a 45-day trip the ocean voyage institute's crew pulled 96 tons of waste like this out of the pacific ocean. >> one thing that we encountered out there was just a great amount of consumer plastics. all those types of things. they end up thousands of miles out in the pacific. >> reporter: mary crowley is the founder of ocean voyages institute. she says every piece of trash will be repurposed, recycled or upcycled into building blocks, insulation, furniture and even energy. >> we've worked with h power in hawaii where they use it to power homes. we've turned it into fuel. the kauai ship and other organizations are working sfo keep the dump from growing larger. >> this vessel and others could be out there for decades doing this job and keep coming back with cargo holds full of plastic for years to come. >> reporter: that is, unless humans change their habits and consumption of single use

there are more than 80,000 wild horses running freely across public lands in ten western states. the federal government says that's too many and has launched a high-tech roundup that's sparking controversy. joy benedict has the story. >> reporter: it is a calm that's blanketed this hillside since the west was won. but just after dawn on this summer day in the high desert of
3:50 am
northern california it was the hum of machine that sliced through the silence. on the range this is the sound of controversy for man and mustang. >> some horses herege the u.s. cavalry. >> reporter: jeff fontanaasking federal bureau of land management. it's charged with caring for america's wild horses. >> they're living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the west. >> reporter: but with an estimated 82,000 of them running free in ten states, this year alone the bureau, known as blm, is tasked with slimming the herds by 20,000 horses and burros. >> we've been using helicopters for most of the program. and really helicopters are a safe and efficient way to move large numbers of animals across the landscape. >> reporter: as the xhoper descends on a group of horses it pushes in, pulls back, pushes in again, eventually corralling
3:51 am
them into a trap. >> how dangerous is this for them? >> well, injuries occur. we're talking about whiled horses, wild animals that have noefr been around humans. but our track record is really good in this program. injuries regarding in death from our gather activities are less than 1/2 of 1%. >> but of course you have to understand how traumatizing or sad it is for the public to see you lose any horse. >> sure. it's also a situation we're trying to avoid, losing horses on the range due to degraded resources. >> reporter: and while it's hard to imagine the overpopulation of anything out here, that's what the blm says is happening. >> we try and keep the herd at the right size. or else we're going to have animals that don't have food to eat or water to drink. >> reporter: jason luterman works for the national horse and burro program. it's operating 46 round-ups in the west this year, including this one in california. >> wild horse and burro herds increase 15% to 20% a year. if we weren't here to manage that growth the herds will keep
3:52 am
growing. eventually they will degrade the land enough to where they will run out of food and water. >> so you're basically saying you manage the herd to keep the herd. >> that's exactly right. yep. our goal is to manage healthy herds on healthy public lands. the way we can do that is to make sure there's enough resources out here for those animals to survive. >> reporter: the blm manages 26.9 million acres of land, accomplished in the 1940s to oversee and prefrk federal lands and lease them for lucrative livestock grazing. when wild mustangs started being hunted, congress passed the wild roaming horses and burro act in 1971 to protect them and the land they live on. >> the charge of the government, the blm, is to humanely manage. and there's nothing humane about what's going on. >> reporter: congresswoman dina titus, a democrat from nevada, has initiated a formal review of what the blm is doing. >> it wasn't until some of the
3:53 am
activist groups started tracking those round-ups and taking video of them that i realized just how horrendous they are. they use helicopters. they run horses down. >> reporter: she also introduced a bill to ground the choppers, which last year were used in round-ups where 25 horses died. she says there may be a more humane method. >> they charge a high rate. i say if you don't use helicopters you can hire cowboys. so save a horse and hire a cowboy. they know how to round up horses and i'm sure it's more humane than this. >> reporter: the bureau of land management spent more than $450 million in the last five years on its wild horse and burro program. 25 million went to gathering animals. but most of the money goes to caring for horses in long-term captivity. >> unadopted animals are kept for long term in what we call offrange pastures. these are big open grasslands for these animals to roam for the rest of their lives. and yes, it does cost about 60% of our budget to care for the
3:54 am
unadopted animals. >> reporter: though the horses is held up for adoption. the blm only monitors adopted horses for the first year. >> we don't place them in private ownership if we believe people have the intent to sell them for slaughter and we try to monitor that as best we can. >> but still it does happen. >> it's happened. you know, i can't deny that those kinds of things have happened. it's something we're acutely aware of and always on top of. >> reporter: and as for using cowboys to round up mustangs? they stopped doing that back in the '70s. >> i've talked to people who worked in the program prior to the use of helicopters and moving horses with -- from horseback was just a really, really difficult situation. >> reporter: but on this morning the bureau of land management collected 46 horses including six foals. most of the animals were sent to temporary holding facilities except two. a vet euthanized them for poor health. and although a handful of these horses will receive birth control and be released the rest
