what caused the sonic boom that rattled residents across two states and the nation's capital. the grand jury investigating the trump classified documents case is starting today. new video this morning as a chinese warship comes close to a u.s. destroyer in the taiwan strait over the weekend. the new warnings from both sides. and back at home, it's a big week for the republican race for the white house with at least three new candidates expected to make announcements. ♪♪ we begin this hour with federal investigators now on the site of a small plane crash, a private plane crash, that went off course and flew near the nation's capital on sunday. the plane took off from tennessee heading to long island, new york, but did an

unexpected 180 heading south toward washington and crashed. four people were on board. no survivors have been found. fighter jets from d.c., the national guard there were scrambled to intercept the plane traveling at supersonic seems which caused the supersonic boom which startled this dog in virginia. joining us now is nbc aviation correspondent tom costello. good morning. what do officials think happened here? >> let me give you a quick update here. that is that the site, the wreckage site is five miles into very dense, thick forest in southern virginia -- in middle virginia, i should say, west of charlottesville and as you probably saw from the pictures, there are no survivors. this started midday on sunday, jose, when a plane, a jet, a private jet, was going to --

from tennessee going to long island new york and was not responding to air traffic controllers. on the way up was not responding and then did a 180 headed south again, still not responding to air traffic controllers. that's when they notified norad because it was approaching d.c. air space. norad scrambled f-16 fighter jets. they intercepted plane and they could see that the pilot was slumped over and unresponsive. you are seeing the scene, the crash scene in virginia because the plane crashed in a very thick wooded area, not far from the shenandoah forest, if you will. it's very remote. it is extremely difficult terrain to get through. according to investigators, they now have to go and try to piece this all together. there were no survivors. what we can tell you is, the owner of the plane is a florida business owner. he tells nbc news that all of

his family, he means by that his daughter, granddaughter, also a nanny and a pilot were killed in this crash. there were no survivors. the f-16s did not shoot the plane down according to norad. they followed it until it ran out of fuel and it crashed into this rugged terrain. so at this point, the ntsb and the faa continue to search for any remnants, any clue that is can help them piece this together that could be a black box, we don't know if this plane had a black box. we believe the plane was more than 30 years old and was only recently acquired by this family in florida and it's unknown why this family was headed to long island and then why this plane suddenly did a u-turn and what may incapacitated the pilot, did he suffer a medical emergency or was there a sudden decompression. we don't know, jose. >> tom costello, thank you so much. and now to an nbc news

exclusive. the justice department's investigation into former president donald trump's handling of classified information may be at a turning point. multiple people familiar with the investigation tell nbc news the grand jury hearing evidence in the case expected to meet again this week. if the former president were to be indicted, it would be the first time a former president has been charged with a federal crime. he has denied any wrongdoing arguing he had the right to keep classified materials at his mar-a-lago estate in florida. >> i took the documents i'm allowed to. i had every right to do it. i didn't make a secret of it. all i know is this, everything i did was right. we have the presidential records act which i abided by 100%. >> and with us now to talk more about this, nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian and dave aaronburg. ken, you have new information this morning about trump attorneys at the justice

department? >> good morning, jose. that's right. adding to the notion that this is a consequential week, three trump attorneys have come into the justice department this morning for a meeting we've learned. another news organization tweeted a photo of them walking in to this building. i am told that attorney general merrick garland and deputy attorney general lisa monaco are not involved in this meeting. presumably it's among lower level officials, people at the national security division and other -- potentially the criminal division and other lawyers at this justice department who are cognizant of and have been briefed on what's happening in this investigation. we'll tell you more as we learn it here about the nature of this meeting. we have camera crews positioned outside to record when these lawyers leave the justice department here. but, again, this comes after hour report that the grand jury investigating the documents case is meeting, is expected to meet this week after a weeks long hiatus where they were not

meeting, not hearing any testimony from witnesses and one of donald trump's former lawyers said on "meet the press" yesterday that he believed that that signal that a charging decision in this case is imminent. he also suggested that it could be a decision not to file charges and for the special counsel to write a report. now that the grand jury is meeting again this week, we are watching closely to see where this case may go. we can't say either way whether there will be an indictment, whether there will be a vote this week. but it feels like a consequential moment in this investigation, jose. >> dave, what does this suggest to you? again, just conjecture. we don't know what that grand jury is going to do or not do. what does it tell you? what are you looking at? >> it tells you that trump's lawyers think he's about to be indicted. it's a consequential week. because generally that's when you go try to talk to the manager, you want to complain, try to influence the decision, but i don't think anything is going to stop the momentum now and what's happened is, over the last few months, there's been

evidence and witnesses before this grand jury about the mar-a-lago documents. then there was a quiet period. you didn't hear much from them. and that's when the prosecutors compiled their evidence, create a memo, sent it up the ladder and they get the decision from merrick garland himself whether to indict. i think that's happening this week. >> what's this case impression that they work on? >> it's a summary of all the evidence that they've seen before the grand jury and you compare it to the relevant criminal statutes. you say, well, it looks like this statue has been violated. and then you send the memo to the superiors. there's something extra here. normally you would make the decision based on the memo. but here jack smith has to take it to merrick garland. i cannot imagine that merrick garland is going to overrule his hand-picked special counsel if he expects to indict. >> what does it tell us about

this meeting this morning? the three lawyers went to the justice department on, what more do we know about that? >> we just don't know the details right now. but dave's analysis seems to be spot on. and my reporting is in terms of merrick garland's outlook on how he's handling special counsel investigations, he's not getting involved. so the idea that he would overrule this -- a charging decision by special counsel jack smith, it's unimaginable. the regulations governing the special counsel say that the attorney general would overrule only if the special counsel acts in an extraordinary way, outside the bounds of what is normal and traditional at the justice department. if jack smith brings the case based on the evidence that we've already seen and evidence we may not have seen, the signals i'm getting here, merrick garland is not going to have his hands anywhere near it. the idea he has to approve charges is a misnomer. he can clock them, but no one i'm talking to believes that that will happen.

>> and what are the crimes trump could potentially be facing? >> so we're just in the realm here of informed speculation based on the reports that we and other news organizations have done. it sure looks like they're building a case of obstruction of justice. there's clearly a variety of charges that can be brought in terms of keeping classified information that he wasn't entitled to, and then there's a question of dissemination. there's a separate charge for showing people classified information who were not entitled to see it. it's very significant. we don't know if that evidence exists. there's been reporting that donald trump showed classified material to people in his office. that there's the -- our reporting and others reporting on that recording where trump references a classified document about iran. he was clearly in a conversation with people who didn't have security clearances. what else the special counsel knows on that score remains to be scene. but these are very serious

charges and they're really distinct from these other cases of classified information, you know, involving mike pence where we learned last week that charges will not be brought against mike pence and involving president biden where he had documents at his house and a separate special counsel is investigating how they got there. but there's been no allegation that he obstructed justice and that he showed these documents to someone. >> this is so unusual on so many levels. but the fact that -- i mean, again, it could be or could not be facing -- he could be facing no charges. but, you know, obstruction of justice, for example, these are such unusual times and an unusual case. what is the former president looking at if he were to be found guilty on any of these? >> jose, 18 usc 1519, obstruction of justice is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

and there's two ways you can get him on espionage, by showing it to people who were unauthorized to see it and by refusing to give them back. that's the difference between trump and pence and biden and even hillary clinton. when they got snagged, they were working with the feds. trump tried to resist the feds, he tried to hide the documents and that's what's going to take him down. >> the fact that he was a president of the united states, which is not the case for either pence or clinton -- hillary clinton, or biden at the time those documents were removed because he was the vice president. is that in any way significant? >> it does complicate things that the president has wide authority to declassify documents. that's trump's best defense until the smoking gun recording came out. it debunks his -- >> why? what would that mean if he were to say, yeah, i knew i had those documents? >> the recording shows that he knew that he could not show them

to others without declassifying them. he knew the documents he had were not declassified. that undermines his entire defense. he declassified everything automatically through a standing order or jedi mind trick. it hurts him deeply and i think that was the final piece of the puzzle. once they had that recording, they were ready to go. >> let's talk about that. over the weekend, the "new york times" reported that one of trump's lawyers on the documents case recorded recollections of his legal work for trump and that recording is now in the hands of prosecutors. is that done normally by lawyers? not as meticulously as evan corkland. he knew that he could be brought in himself for charges if he was moving around the documents and part of the obstruction. he wants to protect thims.

that's why he had someone else sign the record. he's been self-preservation and who can blame him? >> thank you both for being with us this morning. really appreciate it. tensions between the u.s. and china are flaring again after a chinese warship cuts off an american destroyer in the taiwan strait. plus, what authorities think happened to cause a massive train collision in india that killed almost 300 people. 1,000 were injured. we're back in 60 seconds. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. t.

destroyer. the u.s. indo-pacific demand called the maneuvers unsafe while china defended its actions. this latest incident comes less than two weeks after a u.s. navy reconnaissance plane was intercepted by a chinese jet which flew right across its nose. joining us now is courtney kube and undersecretary of state for public affairs. he's also an msnbc political analyst. what is the defense department saying about this incident? >> they're calling it potentially provocative and dangerous. so what happened here is this chinese ship came within -- about 150 yards of this u.s. navy destroyer and the proximity in and of itself has the potential to be dangers. but what is the potentially provocative action here is the fact that it crossed directly in front of that u.s. navy destroyer as it was transiting. as you know, jose, these things

don't turn quickly. the fact that it went right in front of it, as we can see in the video, is -- has the very high potential for a collision. that's why this is considered an aggressive and dangerous action. as you mentioned, it comes literally just days after a chinese military jet conducted a pretty similar close call action in the skies over the south china sea. in this case, it flew directly in front of an rc-135 as it was flying over -- in what the u.s. claims are international air space. now, both -- in both cases, the u.s. maintains they are fully within the law in international waters or international air. the chinese, however, say that the reason that we have seen these close calls in such close proximity is because the u.s. military is exercising and transiting areas that it should no be and the chinese are claiming that it's the u.s. who is conducting these potentially provocative and escalatory actions and this all comes at a

time when the two sides really aren't speaking on a military-to-military basis. early last month, the pentagon invited the chinese defense minister to speak in singapore at the annual defense dialogue that occurred just last weekend. the chinese said no. they declined the invitation. the two actually had a very brief intersection on friday at a dinner at the conference where they took hands, exchanged very brief pleasantries, but at this point, the fact that neither side is speaking to the other only means that the potential for an escalation or a miscalculation in the case of these close calls, it really just makes it potentially more likely and more dangerous, jose. >> rick, how dangerous of a situation is this. >> well, jose, courtney complained it well. they were doing something aggressive to provoke u.s.

action. i mean, to talk a little bit historically for a second, the chinese believe in -- in this 19th century idea of a sphere of influence world. they can control anything where they are and the u.s. shouldn't mess with that. it's a little bit like when we declared the monroe doctrine. we don't believe in that. we belief in the rite of navigation. the chinese are trying to undermine that. and since xi jingping became premier and since he was elected to a third term, they've been much more bellicose, they want to rival the u.s. and that's a dangerous situation because as was mentioned, they're not talking about anything. one of the things that secretary of defense austin said was, look, we need to have some basis where we can talk to each other to avert these kinds of crises

and the chinese said, no, we're not doing that. >> we remember the red phone, right, 13 days. there was always some of way of communicating when the tension gets high either if it's back channel or a phone. but it seems like there's no back channel, no phone on this. rick, i want to turn to the latest on the war in ukraine. this morning russia alleged that ukraine has launched a significant attack on its southeastern front, but kyiv is not confirmed or denied it. we've been waiting for ukraine's spring offensive. how pivotal might ukraine's next move be? >> well, i think it's very critical, jose. this is something that has been talking about and telegraphed for a long time. one of the things that has distinguished ukrainian military actions is if they had been able to hide what they were doing. they've been able to spring surprises on russia. i hope this is another one that they will attack whether the russians or not are expecting

them. it really is critical that the ukrainians actually make some advances and russia actually suffers some losses. otherwise there will be a change in momentum in the war. >> courtney kube and rick stengel, thank you for being with us this morning. this morning an official investigation is under way in india after officials said a signal error was responsible for the signal crash that killed almost 300 people and injured more than one thousand others. this error caused the train to change tracks and collide with a freight train. it then caused another train to hit the derailed cars. it marks the deadliest crash india has seen in decades. josh lederman joins us this morning. what are we learning about how this accident actually unfolded? >> we are now in the grim stage of this catastrophe where family members are showing up to identity the bodies of loved ones going from hospital to

hospital to see if possibly their relatives are among the lucky ones who survived. according to a preliminary report from railroad officials that nbc news has seen, this is incident was caused by a signal failure that was given to the express, a high-speed train that was traveling at about 80 miles per hour. it had been given the signal to enter the main track line. for some reason, that signal was changed and instead that train was diverted into a parallel track known as the loop line which is often used to store trains to let them park while other trains are passing by. in fact, there was a parked train on that loop line, it was a cargo train holding heavy iron other which explains why it was so catastrophic when this passenger train hit it at full speed and caused many of the cars to derail and flip. they landed on the main track line as another high-speed

passenger train was passing in the other direction. that passenger train hit those derailed trains and they themselves derailed. that is how we got into a situation where you had a three-way railroad accident at the site in india. the prime minister who has been spent billions to renew the railroad system in india, he now says that whoever is found responsible for this will be severely punished. jose? >> josh lederman, thank you very much. up next, the republican race for president kicking into high gear with three more candidates set to announce their running in the next two days. plus, it's being called a triumph over hate. could a federal judge's new ruling on a law in tennessee have an impact on similar anti-lgbtq bills across the country? you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. developing treatments to help

27 past the hour. now to what is shaping up to be a big week in the battle for the 2024 republican presidential nomination. three more people are expected to jump into the race. former new jersey governor chris christie expected to make it official tomorrow. former vice president mike pence and doug burgum are set to make their announcements on wednesday. this comes after a big weekend in iowa with almost all of the republican hopefuls gathering at iowa senator joni ernst's roast ide event on saturday. the only one who did not attend, former president donald trump. with us now is vaughn hillyard, dean of the clinton school of public service and an msnbc contributor, and brendan buck, former press secretary to former house speaker john boehner. vaughn, you were at the big event in iowa on saturday. what were some of the big

takeaways. >> you and i talked on saturday night right as this event wrapped up. what took me back was just how much donald trump was not a part of this the event. you also -- it's not like maga hats were worn by the attendees there. none of the candidates said his name up on stage and it felt like a 2024 republican presidential campaign that donald trump was not a part of. when you look at the polling, he still makes up really a majority of the electorate right now. the question is over the next eight months, can some of these republican candidates chip away at the support. i want you to hear what ron desantis had to say before he took the stage. take a listen to the back-and-forth. >> what does it say that donald trump is not here? >> i'm happy to be here. i love the people here. i think this is a great event and, you know, there's a lot of

friends now that we've developed. we'll make a lot more friends. that's what it's all about. >> will you sign the loyalty pledge for the debate stage? >> that last question everybody heard me ask was about the loyalty pledge. i tried two other times to ask him about it and that pertains to the new republican party's debate rules of what it will take for these republican candidates to appear on the debate stage in milwaukee just 2 1/2 months for now. they're requiring every candidate to commit to supporting the eventual republican party nominee, whether be donald trump or asa hutchinson. as you heard ron desantis, he did not answer that question. he has not answered that question. of course, donald trump has suggested this spring that he is not so keen on the idea of potentially supporting a republican party candidate that is not him. and so there is outstanding questions. but very much there was the notable absence of donald trump this weekend in iowa. >> several of those republican candidates have criticized trump for congratulating kim jong-un

for north korean being elected to the world health organization executive board. will this criticism matter to anyone in these states? >> maybe not that criticism, but the idea that you can't criticize donald trump i think is actually really important. i love how vaughn set that up. it feels like so many of the -- our candidates running are running as though this was ten years ago, the old republican party where donald trump doesn't exist. every one of them has to realize, donald trump has a commanding lead. and if anybody is going to take him down, you have to take him on. we have started to see ron desantis starting to do that and i think that is very encouraging if you want donald trump to be the nominee. you can't assume he's going to implode. you know that's not going to happen at this point. you want to introduce yourself and make it about yourself. but when you're running against somebody who is 40 points ahead

of you, you don't have a lot of time to waste and you want to establish yourself as a real alternative. and you have to contrast yourself with a front-runner. >> it comes as the president is celebrating a victory with the debt ceiling deal, averting default. does this help his prospects for next year? >> very much so, jose. and especially in light of what we saw this past weekend in iowa where even though donald trump was not mentioned by name, a lot of the culture war issues surrounding him were front and center and while that may be something that really ignites the base of the republican party, you also have republican voters that care about issues, they care about the economy. how are we going to make ends meet? the win that president biden has coming off of the debt ceiling negotiations, relatively stable, strong economy, the latest jobs

numbers, this is gold. yes, there's a lot of time between now and the election, but this is something that the biden team really has to uplift and not let themselves get distracted by the culture war issue. >> that's an interesting thing. because there always is such a difference between perception and reality. i guess in everything in life. but if you look at how the polls show americans feel about the trajectory that the country is on, it's almost overwhelming, victoria, the amount of people who say the country is on the wrong trajectory. how does that perception gel with the reality, whatever that is, and how do -- how does someone like the president deal with that huge perception reality gap? >> and it's a huge gulf. it's something that really takes getting out and meeting people where they are. in terms of as we look at the

campaign, president biden, yes, he's president, but he's a candidate. he needs to get out there. he is very good one-on-one. he's very good with the public, but also surrogate. the campaign, it has to be something where people are going into the living rooms of folks, sitting at kitchen tables, talking through this, highlighting the numbers. you can show reports all day, but it's talking about the people and showing the path of how he was fighting for them and that's going to take a lot of work and i think that's the only way. there's no shortcut, jose. >> yeah, and the question is, is the president going to be personally going out and campaigning throughout the country much? vaughn, the republican presidential field will grow this week, chris christie, pence and doug burgum jumping into the race. what do they bring to this campaign? >> they bring additional options for a growing republican field

here, but let's be clear, chris christie, his key intention is to take donald trump head on. he's said that he wants to do to donald trump what he did to marco rubio on the debate stage. he's going to have to qualify to get on the debate stage. he's going to have to have 45,000 americans donate to his campaign per republican party rules. but you also have the likes of doug burgum in north dakota who -- a north dakota governor is very different than the realize former president mogul donald trump. and, of course, mike pence who is going to consistently try to lift up the -- what he says were the successes of the trump/pence administration and present himself as a continuation of that just with the absence of his former running mate and former white house pal. >> and you were talking a little bit about this in the beginning of your conversation. it seems as though whether there are three candidates against trump or 13, he still is the

person who is the undisputed leader. >> yeah, it's okay that we have a lot of candidates now. what we can't allow to happen is what happened in 2016 when there were a bunch of them dividing up the vote and donald trump being the benfactor of that. if this is not somebody's year, if things are not going their way, six months from now, it's important that these people get out. i don't think chris christie actually thinks he's going to win this nomination. maybe he does. i don't know. i do agree that he's in there to take on donald trump and deny him the nomination. mike pence, you know, probably as well. i think these are people who firmly believe that donald trump has no place in the white house ever again. and that's why they're getting in. at some point, you can make a bunch of attacks, you can hurt donald trump's favorability, but

at some point if you're only making it easier for him to get the necessary number of delegates, you got to get out. i don't have a problem with lots of people getting in now. i don't want to see lots of people by the time we have a lot of people voting. >> thank you all for being with us this morning. up next, a tragic turn in the search of survivors of an apartment building collapse in iowa. plus the new court ruling considered a victory for lgbtq rights. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. not keep out people. unlike other sprays that stick around, zevo goes from kill to clean in just seconds, plus it's safe for use around people and pets. zevo. people-friendly. bug-deadly.

abbott signed a law prohibiting gender affirming surgeries for transgender minors. it bans doctors from prescribing drugs that would induce infertility. texas is now one of 14 states to enact laws banning gender affirming care for minors. meanwhile, a federal judge ruled that a state law in tennessee restricting public drag shows is unconstitutional. the first of its kind law would ban, quote, adult cabaret entertainment on public property or locations where it could be viewed by a minor. and under that law, the first offense would be a misdemeanor, a second, a felony. one of the drag performers who sued against the law spoke with nbc news. >> we're not trying to be go-go dancers or press an agenda or anything. we're just entertaining people.

>> antonia hylton joins us with the latest. you've been following these cases so closely. what has been the reaction to the judge's decision here? >> well, jose, i've spent much of this year traveling back and forth from tennessee and i've talked to a lot of the performers, the activists who have been involved on both sides of all of this over the last several months. on the side of drag performers and members of the lgbtq communities across tennessee, they're sighing a bit of a relief right now, especially as it's now pride month and many people were planning to perform or go to parades and celebrate. without this law in place, they feel safer, they're less worried about being arrested or mistaken for being drag performers. there's been concern, for example, in the transgender communities there that some local law enforcement officers might no really know the difference between people who are trans and living their everyday lives and people who are dressing up and engaging in some kind of performance. and so on that side, there's a relief. among the republicans, though, and some of the conservative

activists in the state who pushed for the passage of this law, there's anger and upset and they're looking at their options. they're looking at potentially appealing. take a listen to my conversation with state senator jack johnson. he is the senate majority leader there and he's the person who originally authored this legislation. >> reporter: have you been to drag shows? >> i have not. but i've seen videos. i've seen videos of drag. i guess i should say, have i been to places where a man was dressed as a woman and performing or singing and maybe they were dressed -- it was a halloween party and they were dressed up as dolly parton, of course i have. >> you just talked about how in texas they're banning gender affirming care and that actually happened months ago now in tennessee. to put this in greater context, while people are celebrating pride this month and performers are grateful that this law is no longer in place in that state, similar laws are passing elsewhere and tennessee has a similar ban on gender affirming

care. many of the communities there are still fearful and concerned about their safety, their access to health care and so they're not exactly completely celebrating this week. jose? >> antonia hylton, thank you very much. coming up, oil prices surging today. does that mean gas prices are about to go up? we'll talk about that next. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. d.
