people are dead, more than 152 still not accounted for. the ag thizthid noising wait ma already harder by the report in 2018 that raised concerns about the structural damage to the building. and we'll have the urban search and rescue task force will join us live. and also ahead, a different kind of decision day maybe for the trump organization reportedly in the final day of trying to persuade prosecutors against filing charges. good morning, i'm hallie jackson in washington. we start with breaking news at the supreme court. just in the last couple minutes, justices are saying that they will not hear a major case a transgender rights of gavin grim, the student who sued to use his gender appropriate bathroom. let me bring in pete williams. this was something on the docket that lot of folks had been

looking for. what does it mean for gavin grim and students and schools more broadly? >> it is the end of a local legal road. he originally went to court in 2015 after his freshman year in high school, he announced that he was transgender, that he wanted to use the boys' booth bathroom. the school said but then the school board said no, he would have to use a separate single stall bathroom which he found stigmatizing. so he sued, won in the lower courts, it went to the supreme court, but then the trump administration changed an education department policy that the lower courts had relied on and said that it was not a violation of federal law for schools to do this. so the supreme court decided not to take his case. he refiled it and went back through the appeals court again, and he won, and then the school board appealed again. so two things have happened since then. one is now the biden administration says yes, when schools declean to let a

transgender student use the bathroom of their choice, that violates the federal law known as title ix, which is the one that says schools cannot discriminate on the basis of sex between boys and girls and any of their school programs and that the biden administration has reemphasized that obama era ruling that says that this is a titleix. and a separate civil rights law says that employers can't discriminate against transgender on the basis of gender identity and the biden administration says that that lodge he can applies to title ix as well. so it means for grim a victory. all the federal appeals courts that have looked at this question have come to the same conclusion that it does violate title ix. so now i think there are three courts of appeals, three federal circuits where this is the law. and so far the supreme court has

turned away any efforts to challenge that. >> so does this mean anything the fact that justices are declining to hear this case for some of the other potential legal challenges with trans athletes looking to play sports at various schools, or is this a totally separate track, has no bearing? >> two things i would say. first of all, justices clarence and alito said that the court should have taken this case, but it takes at least four to grant a case. the simple answer to the question is no, it merely means that the court for whatever reason isn't taking the case. it is not affirming the fourth circuit's ruling or any of these other rulings that said that this is a title ix issue. but that is the question in the sports cases and they are undoubtedly coming to the supreme court. >> petewilliams, thank you.

coming up in the next half hour, we'll talk with the student at the center of this case for a conversation you will not want to miss. live now to the other big story of the morning and that is coming to us from south florida, so take it look, this is the scene in surfside right now, you've got search and rescue teams still trying to find survivors. i want to go now to the scene with morgan chesky. i understand that we're about to get an update from officials in the next 60 minutes here. talk about where the search and rescue stands right now and the questions that have been raised about this report from 2018 from an outside company that flagged some potential problems structurally. >> reporter: yeah, some serious concerns regarding the structural integrity of champlain tower. there was an issue over the weekend, a fire that was burning deep within the rubble just a

few blocks behind me, caused rescuers to back away a little bit until they could get that fire contained. they have now been able to move in over the weekend, dig a horn more than 100-foot trench, looking for any pocket that could contain a survivor that is now going on five days inside this collapsed building. it is incredibly precariously situated. i had a chance to speak to a fema rescuer yesterday that said engineers are on site, in some cases pointing out various pieces of debris that have to be shored up one by one before they are able to get in these tight spaces and certainly for any signs of life. as it stands right now, we know hundreds of rescuers are on standby, and that search and rescue effort has gone global. we know israeli search and rescue teams arrived here yesterday morning and joining the rescue specialists in

looking at this site and they were very quick to say that everything that could have been done is being done. now, as it related to this investigation that will take months if not longer to find the original source of the cause of this collapse, that 2018 engineering report at the request of the condoboard showed significant structural deficiency, cracks in certain concrete beams, areas of problems within the foundation that while they were acknowledged back then an millions of repairs were called for, the concern today is that it was too little too late. >> morgan chesky live for us there on the scene in surfside. thank you. this morning we're also hearing from the miami-dade fire rescue chief who says crews have found what are called void spaces, areas in the rubble in the debris where you could potentially find space for survivors. listen. >> we have over 80 rescuers at a time that are breaching the

walls that have obviously collapsed. we have found voids though within the building that we've been able to penetrate mostly coming obvious will i there underneath the building through the basement of what used to be the garage, and we have been able to tunnel through the building. this is a frantic certainly to see who we could bring out alive. >> i'm joined by the florida state fire marshal. jimmy, thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> give me a quick update here if you can to sort of preview what we expect to hear at the news conference in the next hour on where efforts stand right now. what is the very latest there your vantage point? >> so here is what is unique. your vantage point? >> so here is what is unique. this is the first time in the history of florida that we have deployed all search and rescue members, 368 of those, to a nonhurricane event. the largest event devastation

event in the history of the state of florida. so all resources that the state of florida has boots on the drowned, in addition we have task forces from virginia and ohio on standby to come down and assist if need needed. >> this is a massive effort, crews are almost literally blanketing this pile of debris here. i know that there are complicating efforts over the weekend with like a fire that was burning beneath everything. it seems like from what we've heard from the mayor that is abated. what is the status of that today, is that out, are you making progress on that front? >> yeah, so i mean here is the challenges with the fires to lots of things. one, it provides carbon dioxide into the system which ultimately hampers the investigation, search of life both for those that are trapped and those doing the recovery and rescue efforts. a trench was dug, that eventual there was able to kind of be a

fire break, and when you are able to lift and remove some of the larger pieces of concrete, a 25,000 piece about to be removed today, that is the largest yet, but you can imagine 25,000 pounds of concrete in one piece, when you move it, it creates a monumental shift in the debris field which ultimately could risk lives of those above and below the surface. >> so how do you manage that? if it is something that will be lifted off and be able to be taken care of today, how are being looking to make sure that debris is not shifting for example if there are any survivors inside that wreckage? >> so engineers are on site, it is double redundancy, engineers have to sign off on both in agreement that if this is moved, it will be still a safe place to operate. also, we have got a laser beams similar to what surveyors use that target the debris field.

if it shifts even a couple millimeters, all work is stopped until it is secure. you don't want to take a chance of any other movement because again, loss of life below, threat of harm above. >> and that is one the things that you are looking at is the potential for people maybe that have survived this now five days heater that are inside this pile of debris. over the last 24 hours, have your teams been able to hear anything that is sort of giving them hope from a concrete level, meaning the sound of a watch ticking, some kind of bank owing, neglect that might be anything that might be giving optimism? >> the men and women of the task forces is only one way of doing business, and that is focus on saving lives. as i told them, with as much trauma that everybody has experienced, the family, the members of the task force doing

the lord's work, the finding of one life changes everything. it provides a different type of healing, a different type of hope. and really it is the motivator that they work for every time 24 hours a day, 12 on -- every shift is working from 12 noon to midnight, midnight to 12 noon. >> and right before we introduced you, but heard from another official who says that the certainly is continuing for a miracle. at this point would you consider it a miracle to find even one personal live there? >> so we're at day five. there has been over 100 physical man hours on the site. the community here has gone from a camp to a city. and the resources that fema, the governor, miami dade county, all of the state of florida has pushed forward is do exactly that, to save that one life. and this is our goal. so we're not going to stop until the mission is over.

>> jimmy . ethonment s, thank you for being with us. we're waiting for an update from other officials on the scene there in south florida in the next 45 minutes or so. but we turn to new york where donald trump's attorneys have until this afternoon to persuade prosecutors not to file charges depends his family business. the "washington post" reporting that the deadline is a strong signal pointing for what we've been saying that the trump organization may be hit with criminal charges as early as later today, sometime this week. again, we're talking about the organization, not the former president himself. a turn for the dough calls the news outrageous. i want to bring in a writer part of the school and also former assistant to the

manhattan d.a. good morning to you both. josh, let's call it a quote/unquote deadline, what you can tell us about the charges. >> so after months of investigations into the trump organization and allen weisselberg the cfo, potentially other figures, things seem to be coming to a head. the d.a. and prosecutors have told the trump organization lawyers that they have until the end of the day to present any sort of mitigating evidence that they would like not to have any charges filed against the trump organization. which is a sign that they are likely. nothing is guaranteed, but it is coming to a head here and they are also finishing the final stages of the investigation into allen weisselberg who was not cooperating to the level that prosecutors would like and continue to be in touch with the

former president. it seems to be a confluence of things to indicate we'll have move very soon. >> and so dan, talk to me what josh described as this idea of mitigating evidence to be presented potentially by the trump tours to the prosecutor's office. that is not -- is that super unusual or not? i understand that it is not entirely out of the realm of the ordinary. and what does that say to you about the time line for potential for charges to be brought here? >> so it is completely normal for a prosecutor to suggest that they will file certain charges or see certain charges and allow the company or even individuals a chance to talk them out of it. with companies it is particularly important because obviously companies are legal fictions, they can only do things through people. and sometimes there are consequences to companies getting convicted of crimes. so the d.a.'s office has a strict policy to consider things leak collateral consequences, what might be the effect on banking relationships, municipal

relationships, business, et cetera, other innocent employees of an indictment of the trump organization. so it is not unusual to at least allow that opportunity. i don't think that it will work here for a variety of reasons. >> josh, i said i'd come back to you on allen weisselberg, long time cfo, somebody at the center of a lot of this moving forward. potential tax evasion for various benefits for working for the company. one of the trump organization attorneys told our team last week that and i think you are reporting something similar that the trump attorneys think that they couldn't get weisselberg to cooperate and that is why they are moving with these charges. how much validity based on your reporting does that contain, how much stock would prosecutors put into that? >> well, it is certainly true that they have not been able to get the cooperation that they want from weisselberg. they have sought for months to

get him to cooperate more but prosecutors believe that he remains in close touch with the former president, he was spotted by my colleague on a recent monday morning driving his bmw into trump tower. he is one of his most trusted long time advisers. and prosecutors have not been able to occur what they wanted from him, which is a more i guess aggressive cooperation. so now we're coming to what seems to be a junction point here into the investigation into him, my sources indicating that there do be a movement there this week. >> dan, give us the 30,000 foot pig picture view here. i fact as sources are suggesting that you could see charges against the trump organization sometime maybe in the next 48, 72 hours, how much trouble, how bad is this, for the trump org or not? >> if the reports we've seen over the last few days is

correct, i would call this medium trouble. it is a big deal to get indicted as a corporation and we'll see which of the many trump organization entities end up being a defendant or defendants. that is a big deal. but this does not appear to be the big charges that the d.a.'s office has been investigating for a long time. this appears to be an interim set of charges while they continue to investigation date the larger accounting frauds that we've heard about. >> so more to come potentially even after this? >> from what i've read in the reporting, it seems like there is likely to be more on come, although obviously we can't though for a while. >> thanks to you both for being with us. breaking overnight, the u.s. carrying out air strikes on targets in iraq and syria, new details on the threat to american service members that pushed president biden to launch it. and the new reaction this morning. plus, the house set to vote this week on creating a commission -- a committee, rather, to investigate the

be able to carry out these attacks and hopefully they can avoid in casualties going forward. what we know from u.s. defense officials is that that they took out some of these locations where they not only store some of the equipment, but where they put it together with the so-called operationalize these uavs. so the hope is that even though they haven't been able to necessarily deter motivation, but the hope is that they have been able to stop the ones that may be upcoming in the immediate future. >> courtney, thank you. and coming up hearing the infrastructure bill back on track after president biden walked back a rogue comment over the weekend. but did the president just give gop lawmakers oppose to the bill an opening. wmakers oppose to thl an opening it's the simple act of enjoying time with friends, knowing you understand your glucose levels. ♪♪

this whole thing would be. and garrett haake is on capitol hill for us.lean for this whole thing would be. and garrett haake is on capitol hill for us. how much do we know so far? >> reporter: frankly, very little. the closest analog would be the benghazi committee, republicans still running the house, and in that case you had a 7-5 party breakdown, you had a republican chair, and you had democrats at the time in the minor it i really having a debate amongst themselves about how significantly they wanted to play a role in this, did they want to a point all the members that they were entitled to, serious members, partisan members. they ended up going the more serious route with ranking members of various committees on that select committee. republicans will have a choice, to they want to put their most partisan members on this committee, do they want to use people who have been involved in any of the other committees who have been investigating this at

defendant levels to try to make sure that they have subject matter experts, or do they appoint anyone at all and try to say that this is merely a partisan exercise. so decisions to both sets of party leaders. but we did expect to see a vote on the setting up of this committee this week. and then the question of how long it will run, it could run well beyond the midterms, although if republicans take control, expect to see the select committee to be shut down quite quickly. so a lot more questions than answers, but significant interest on the democratic side of just getting the ball rolling with the idea of a commission essentially dead here. >> and we've been showing too on the time line that graphic of past select committee, how long they have taken in years and not months. garrett, thank you. and there is a new issue

bubbling up over the infrastructure bill involving some of the number crunching on the pay-fors, could be another curve ball for this deal that now seems to be back on. you have the gop backers really important to this process as of today sounding satisfied with let call it the carefully orchestrated cleanup of president biden's comments that took a veto threat off the table. mike memoli is near the white house. there have been ins and outs and ins of this over the last 48 hours or so. so give us the up daet. date. >> and it seems as if the white house has survived the first of what will likely be many stress tests to this very fragile bipartisan deal where every vote is so important that anything that the president seems do to reassure progressives may put republicans on their toes and vice versa. so you saw the president over the weekend after leaning perhaps too far into the idea that these two packages both the bipartisan deal and the bigger

reconciliation deal linked walking that back, he said that it is my hope that they could support it together but let me be clear, our bipartisan agreement does not preclude republicans from attempting to defeat my family's plan. now, that seems to for the moment have reassured the key republicans who have been part of this bipartisan deal. take a listen to some of their comments over the weekend. >> to say the least that those two get linked. i'm glad that they have been delinked and it is very clear that we can move forward with a bipartisan bill that is broadly popular. in mitch mcconnell wants infrastructure as much as then else. he wants the jobs that this will create. i think that leader mcconnell will be for it if it continues to do together as it is. >> those comments from senator cassidy' about senator mcconnell very interesting in light of a new statement we got this morning from the republican leader in the senate who thanks president biden for delinking his bipartisan deal fromoncilia

for the congressional leadership on the democratic side, pelosi and schumer, to do the same. mcconnell is just one vote. he doesn't need to vote for or against this for it to move forward, but he does have some sway, we all know that, in the republican caucus. so the question, is this a signal of whether he plans to stay in the way of the deal or just simply having some fun at the hiccup already on the democratic side. >> mike memoli, always having fun on a monday morning. thank you for that. up next, we have more on that breaking news from the supreme court tea cleaning to hear that very big case involving a transgender student, it leaves in place the previous ruling giving gavin grim a victory in place. gavin will join us next. and also trying to seek asylum here in the u.s., a new team dive into advocates a i is a growing backlog. owing backlog. coming through”
