that, you know, i think you have to be, you have to think big. you have to think in terms of, you know, big picture and making a big swing. and one of our -- one of the leadership here, she says, we haven't lost our minds. we've lost our imaginations. and i think that that has been very much a north store. >> i was really struck reading her, when she said that, and the fact that as you brought up the civil rights movement, the way this is being held is really modeled on the 1965 selma to montgomery marches. i wish we had more time, but i think you guys are going to be there for days, so please come back, lake, and sam, and join us. thanks very much. >> thank you for your support. we appreciate it. thank you. >> "cnn this morning" continues right now. good morning, everyone. it is the top of the hour.

8:00 a.m. eastern. we're glad you're with us. rahel solomon by my side. good morning. >> good morning. we begin with that. you wonder why that dog was running, that was a sonic boom rattling the nation's capital as fighter jets scramble to chase an unresponsive plane that was flying over washington, d.c. through restricted air space. we'll have the latest on the crash and those onboard. also, new video shows a chinese warship nearly collide with the u.s. navy destroyer. cnn just spoke with america's top general, mark milley. what he said about it. >> can't wait for that interview. also today could be apple's biggest product launch since the apple watch. what we're learning about the company's new mixed reality headset. this hour of cnn this morning starts right now. here is where we begin. a cnn exclusive interview with america's top general, that is mark milley. as tensions mount with china,

oren liebermann sat down with the joint chiefs chairman in normandy, france, today. this comes after a chinese warship nearly collided with a u.s. navy destroyer during a military exercise. look at that video. that's in the taiwan strait. the pentagon says the chinese ship cut right in front of the destroyer and came within 150 yards of crashing into it. the video of the close encounter shows it all. also top of mind, ukraine and the looming counteroffensive. russia claims it repelled a large-scale attack by ukraine forces who were trying to break through russian lines in zion ukraine. let's go to oren liebermann live in normandy. when mark milley talks, people listen. quite a sit-down you had. what's the biggest takeaway? >> absolutely. we had quite a bit of time with him. and he talked about a number of different issues, ranging from ukraine to china, to issues facing the military broadly. but of course, a lot of this focused on ukraine, as we've been watching what's happening, essentially on thecontinentand

that d-day is a celebration of the biggest counteroffensive in history as we wait for a counteroffensive in ukraine. having watched this war for the past year and a half, is ukraine ready for the counteroffensive and does he believe that the counteroffensive itself will be successful. he was careful in how he viewed what will happen here because of the uncertainty of military operations, but here's what he had to say. >> so i think it's too early to tell what outcomes are going to happen. i think the ukrainians are very well prepared. as you know very well, the united states and other allied countries in europe and really around the world have provided training and ammunition and advice, intelligence, et cetera to the ukrainians. we're supporting them. they're in a war, it's an existential threat for the very sur survival of ukraine, and has greater meaning for the rest of the world for europe, really for the united states, but also for the globe. >> reporter: we certainly talked to him more about ukraine, but

you'll hear the point he made at the end there, how crucially he views the war in ukraine, not only for the country itself, but for europe and beyond. that's where his emphasis was on much of our conversation. what he's referred to as the rules-based international order, which is part of what's at stake when it comes to ukraine. there will certainly be a lot more on that topic, poppy? >> how fascinating, also, oren, to get to sit down with him a day after we all see this video of a chinese warship getting within 150 yards of u.s. and canadian ships in the taiwan strait. what did he say about that, and the broader context of u.s./china relations right now. >> for him, one of the important aspects here is levels of communication between beijing and washington. and that's where, although there are some successes, some breakthroughs here, there are also some challenges. defense secretary lloyd austin who was just at a defense conference in singapore did not meet with his chinese counterpart, even though bill burns was just in china, and there's another senior state department official there. but he emphasized the

relationship between china and the u.s., the relationship between two great powers must not veer towards conflict. that's where the concern is. that is the import of making sure that there are different levels of dialogue and communication between beijing and washington to make sure the relationship stays in the realm of competition, even as the u.s. sees these as more aggressive encounters coming from the chinese military, whether it's the taiwan straight over this past weekend or just a couple of weeks ago over the south china sea. >> oren, thank you for the reporting, again. i can't wait to see the rest of the interview. you can see oren's exclusive interview with general milley, 4:00 p.m., "the lead with jake tapper" and "a.c. 360." >> and joining us now is jim sciutto. good morning. of course, you followed these developments very closely. what are your thoughts when you see this video and we have these rising tensions between u.s. and china. i mean, what are your thoughts? >> well, first, when this happens, this does not happen by accident. chinese warship commanders are

not free lancers, nor are chinese pilots, as we saw with that close encounter last week. this happened with the approval from the very top in china. and this is part of a broader strategy by the chinese military to challenge u.s. military operations in the region. both in the south china sea, where we saw, for instance, that u.s. reconnaissance flight harassed a number of days ago, but also here in the taiwan straight. the u.s. does these operations on purpose to show that these are international waters, that the u.s. views them as international waters, and reserves its right to fly and sail through international waters. of course, the taiwan straight takes on special importance, because it's right between china and taiwan. and china has been raising the threat of the possibility of taking taiwan by force, which of course the u.s. opposes, and again, these naval operations there by u.s. ships, these crossings of the taiwan strait

are deliberate message sending, right, to say, we support as it is, and this country opposes any chinese military action. so when china challenges that, that's a deliberate challenge to the u.s. position here. and i should also note this. that's very close at sea. 150 yards may sound like, well, that gives you some steering room. these are big ships. they don't turn very quickly. the potential of having a collision there is real. >> that's a great point. you've been on these ships, literally, jill, you know that better than anyone. let me just ask you also about, i thought it was interesting that mike turner, who obviously is the republican chair of the house intel committee said on one of the sunday morning shows yesterday, we're seeing, in his words, unbelievable aggression from china. and his view is that the biden administration is being too passive. they should do more. what can the biden administration do, given we've just heard jake sullivan say, at some point, biden will meet with xi jinping. >> i think there's always the politics of how this is red. the u.s. operations in that part

of the world have been pretty consistent from obama, even to trump and here to biden, of continuing these freedom of navigation operations, as they're called, sailing through international waters, the straits, the south china sea, et cetera. none of those operations are new. the frequency is about the same. what has changed is china's aggression in responding to them. and also things we've talked about on this broadcast before, flying surveillance balloons over the continental u.s. so it has ratcheted up. and there is, by the way, you get some of that criticism from democrats, not just republicans, as well, as to what can the u.s. do to project greater strength, while at the same time, and this goes to millie's comments there, not escalating. because there's great concern about, you know, what -- you're both measuring each ortther's reactions, right? and you don't want to get caught on some sort of escalation ladder, where you get within the

realm of an active war. that's the dangerous thing. all it takes is one mistake, one miscommunication, one jet that collides with a ship or one ship that collides with a ship. that's the other element here. is that neither side wants to go that far. it's a really dicey time. i don't think there's any way to describe it. >> jim, as you know, several republican presidential candidates over the weekend and also last night during our town hall took aim at former president donald trump for praising north korean leader kim jong-un after he was elected to the executive board of the w.h.o last week. i just want to play a spot for you and discuss it on the other side. >> i was surprised to see that. i mean, i think, one, kim jong-un is a murderous dictator. >> whether it's my former running mate or anyone else, no one should be praising the dictator in north korea or praising the leader of russia who has launched an unprovoked war of aggression in ukraine. >> kim jong-un is a thug. i don't think we ever should congratulate dictators. congratulate our friends, don't

congratulate our enemies. it kbemboldens them when we do that. >> jim, what does it tell you that they are so united, at least on this issue against trump? >> it's notable. it shows that on the praise for dictators, whether it's kim jong-un, putin, or xi jinping for that part, donald trump during his term said some quite praising wards of xi jinping, as well. it's that he's on an island, with democrats or within his own party, in terms of the deference and the praise that he shows for these leaders, so to hear from republicans in uncertain -- republican challengers, of course, to trump for the nomination, in no uncertain terms that kim jong-un, murderous dictator, that's a fact. vladimir putin, the one pursuing the largest, bloodiest war in europe since world war ii, you know, it's his fault to hear those statements from them shows that donald trump's positions on those conflicts -- and remember, go back to the cnn town hall,

trump would not say which side he wants to win in that conflict. in that sense, his positions are outliers, even within his own party. >> republican challenger -- >> it comes at a time, jim, just before you go, when north korea is claiming that they've miniaturized nuclear warheads. i mean -- >> yeah. >> the moment. >> yeah, it is. i mean, we can't not pay attention to what's happening in north korea. there's so much for focus at home. and i get it, because you've got russia in ukraine, you've got tensions with china. north korea, for years, presidents of both parties in this country said they would not allow a nuclear north korea. north korea is nuclear today. it has nuclear weapons and it has missiles capable of carrying those nuclear weapons, and as they advance, make them smaller, that means, sadly, it's the prospect of being able to fit more war heads on the top of one weapon, makes it harder to defend against. that is a dangerous place to be. but that's the reality we're living in today. >> jim sciutto, great to have your insight and analysis on this issue.

>> good to see you guys. >> this morning, officials investigating the crash of a private plane with an unresponsive pilot. this happened in virginia and it prompted military fighter jets to scramble so fast, they caused a sonic boom. listen. >> so the national transportation safety board will begin the process of documenting the scene and examining the aircraft. authorities say all four people onboard that plane were killed. our pete muntean joins us now. how can something like this happen? >> you know, it's so disturbing here, poppy, is why the pilot onboard this plane and why the other people onboard this plane were unresponsive to this military fighter jet interception. really alarming details here. and the big question now is whether or not this private jet, a cessna citation, seats between about seven and ten people, the air inside is pressurized, meaning that it makes it

breathable, more compressed, not breathable outside at high altitude. if there was a rapid decompression in this case, meaning that the air inside whooshes out because of some mechanical failure, maybe the door was open or there was a cracked window, maybe something in the structural integrity of the airplane, if you're up high at 34,000 feet, the pilots have very little time to respond. 10,000 feet, they've got a lot of time to respond, 25,000 feet, three to five minutes and put on oxygen masks. 35,000 feet, 30 to 60 seconds. that is when hypoxia starts to set in. it's really the insidious killer. very hard for pilots to recognize. i can tell you, as a pilot and flight instructor, the first symptoms, your fingernails go blue. then you start to get a bit of visual impairment. also maybe acting a little drunk, maybe a little giddy, and then, of course, judgment impairment and you can slip into

unconsciousness. it's very, very dangerous. and this is something that the ntsb will have to look at here. they really have their work cut out for them now to try to figure out if this is, in fact, the case. a lot of aviation experts i'm talking to say that is likely, can't rule it out just yet, because this sounds, on paper, at least very similar to the payne stewart crash of 1999. you may remember that pro golfer was on board a leer jet at 40,000 feet, fighter jets also sent up to intercept that plane. that plane crashed in an unpopulated area in south dakota, in this case, this plane crashed in an unpopulated area in virginia. a lot of big questions here that investigators will look into, poppy. >> it's really scary. and just so sad for lives lost. pete, appreciate the reporting. well, coming up for us, nikki haley took on guns and abortion in a cnn town hall last night. coming up, we'll discuss the big takeaways. also, oil prices rising after saudi arabia vows to cut

abortion shouldn't have to perform them. i think that we can agree on the fact that contraception should be accessible. and i think we can all come together and say, any woman that has an abortion shouldn't be jailed or given the death penalty. can you mention shooting at the schools? you need to end gun-free zones. gun-free zones, when you look at -- killers always looking for a place that's a gun-free zone. because guess what, nobody else is going to be able to protect themselves. i don't trust government to deal with red flag laws. i don't trust that they won't take them away from people who rightfully deserve to have them. don't lie to them and say, oh, we don't have to deal with entitlement reform. yes, we do. yes, we do. i'm always going to tell the truth. is it going to hurt? yes, but for our kids, they know they're not going to get it anyway. >> jake did press her to put an age on it. and we didn't get an answer there. and joining us to talk about all the headlines from last night,

former white house communications director, cnn political commentator and senior adviser to president obama, david axelrod. good morning, guys. you were up late. i was listening to your smart analysis after the town hall. >> give us your read in terms of what nikki haley succeeded at and where she fell short? >> and she sort of the tone of it right when she came out. and jake offered her the chair and she said, i prefer to stand. you can sit if you would like. she took command of that stage. and she's a great performer. she's folksy, she's warm, she can be tough. and she's a great performer. and david chalian said last night, you can see she's been working the iowa town hall circuit. i'm familiar with that circuit. and that's absolutely true. the issue is, too, one is, she tends to kind of -- she's an

artful dodger on controversial stuff. her governor just signed a six-week abortion ban. she would not comment. >> it's held up by the courts now, but yeah. >> on guns, she was very strong on elements of it, and then said, in mental health in particular, but said, i won't support red flag laws, because i don't trust the government to make this judgment. previously, she had said the gov. should have done something in charleston to stop that guy from getting guns. it's those kind of inconsistencies that you can get away with strong performances when you're running at the state level, but when you're running for president, that stuff catches up with you. and she's just got to kind of plant her feet and take a stand on some of these things and take some risks. >> in terms of dodging the question that jake asked her about, abortion, how is this going to play with the base? >> i thought the abortion answer was the most interesting of the night. it's definitely the most nuanced

answer we've seen in a republican primary. and noting that this is in iowa, the most conservative part of the primary, the -- it shows how much this issue has shifted, post-dobbs, that you have a republican primary candidate saying anything other than, i'm going to overturn roe v. wade. she's doing a tough dance not answering the question in her home state of six weeks. but this is a very different answer than desantis, that i think we'll see from mike pence or virtually anyone that's in the race right now. the thing with nikki haley is this. she may have the most political talent on the race, on the republican or democratic side. my question is, does she have the political will. and what i mean by that is she's got to come up in the polls. she's hovered around 1 to 5%. and that is going to require her to take on donald trump directly, something that she largely avoided doing, except with some minor areas like ukraine last night. >> including in her own state. and that's problematic. >> she kind of went for the jugular -- not the jugular, but the capillary last night, you

know. she just sort of grazed him. her whole theme was, we have to get past the vendetta politics and anger and division and so on. well, he's sort of the author of all of that, and if you're not willing to take him on on that, you're not going to make the separation you need to make. >> she also said that politics is a blood sport and i know that better than anyone, so let's see if she'll really, really get into it. i would love for you both to weigh in on this moment from last night, where she talked about what she views as the, in her words, women's issue of our time. here it was. >> the word "woke" used to be used by progressives to talk about an awareness of inequities and historical inequities. but obviously it means something else to conservatives criticizing it. what does it mean to you? how do you define "woke"? >> there are a lot of things. you want to talk about biological boys playing in girls sports, that's one thing. the fact that we have gender pronoun classes in the military.

all of these things pushing what a small minority of americans want on the majority of americans, it's too much. the idea that we have biological boys playing the girls' sports. it is the women's issue of our time. >> is it? is that how republican voters see it? >> i'm not sure that i think this is the women's issue of our time. and i've said this before. she needed to throw some red meat to the base. last night felt very much like a general election performance for a republican candidate, until she got into the trans issue and guns issues. this is an issue that is the minority within the minority. the trans community is an incredibly small community within the united states. then break that down even further to it dealing with athletes in high school or collegiate level. that's something that i think a conservative could push back and say, why can't local governments deal with this? why can't school boards, why can't the ncaa? h why does it require the federal government and the presidency to deal with it. i'm not sure it has a lot of legs. and i think we'll retired the

word "woke" after this election. it is so overused and losing all meaning. >> i agree. i think nikki haley's dilemma is that she's an old-school republican, sort of bush type republican in a republican party that has changed. so you saw elements of the old in there on defense and some other issues. and then, she threw a few bones to the base. and this was one of those bones. the trance issue is one of those bones. i'm not anatomically qualified to answer this question, probably, but i don't think most women would tell me that that is the women's issue of our time. >> david and alyssa, senator manchin over the weekend flirted with a plan "b," what a plan "b" would look like. i want to play the sound and get you guys to weigh in. >> is a third party run still in the realm of possibilities? >> you better have plan "b." because if plan "a" shows that we're going to the far reaches of both sides of -- the far left

and far right. >> and it possibly could include joe manchin? >> i'm not saying who it's going to include or exclude. >> he's facing a really competitive race in his own state. >> i don't want to be unkind to senator manchin, but he's kind of dead man walking in west virginia. there's no way for him to go. he's got a popular republican grn in a state that donald trump carried by almost 40 points. he didn't win by very much last time. so he knows that he can't win re-election in that state. this would be a grafl exit for him. and he may believe there are people in that know labels movement trying to persuade him that he could actually win in a race with biden and trump. i don't think biden represents the far left of anything. i think he's trying to develop a r rationale for doing this. >> one of the interviews that

was so interesting, he was asked, alyssa, if you see bide moving more to the middle, does that make a path harder for you. he's saying that biden's been pushed too far to the left. >> i think biden will have to worry about losing progressives if he goes any further. listen, i would love for us to exist in a system in which a third party could be viable and fruitful, and i think would be more representative of the american populous, but we're not there. if he were to run, this no-labels effort is frankly like a donor's pipe dream that i don't think is going to do anything other than probably prop up the more extreme side of the republican party, assuming that donald trump is the nominee. so i'm not sure -- >> mostly, a republican donor's pipe dream, people who are unhappy with trump. but the irony of the whole thing is, if joe manchin runs on a third-party line, the very high likelihood is that he will elect donald trump -- >> he's taking votes from the

right, not to left. >> it's a numbers game. >> great to have you. >> thank you very much. so wednesday, dana bash will moderate another cnn republican town hall. this will be with former vice president mike pence in iowa and starts at 9:00 p.m. eastern only lighter on cnn. well, gas prices could soon be on the rise in the u.s. that's as saudi arabia announces plans to slash production by a million barrels per day, starting next month. let's get right to cnn's chief business correspondent, christine romans. tell us about the impact this could have to really all of us? >> we've had a nice tailwind in the u.s. economy and that's been falling gasoline prices and falling oil prices for some time. and saudi arabia is stepping up there and saying, there will be an output cut. and what that will stand to do is raise gas prices and raise oil prices, eventually. but how much still remains to be seen? this is 9 million barrels per day is what saudi arabia is going to pump from now on. that's down from 10 million barrels per day. but there was a lot of dissension inside the opec-plus

cartel about where they are going to put oil prices and output here. so i think when the very near-term, what it means, look at where gas prices are today. $3.55 a gallon. that is down 25% from last year. this has been a good piece of the inflation story in the u.s., but also in the european union, where, you know, inflation levels have been coming down, still too high, but having coming down. what does the white house have to say about this? the white house points out, it doesn't set these prices. that is opec. we are not a party to opec plus, which makes its own decisions. we are focused on prices for american consumers, not barrels, and prices have come down significantly since last year. overall, what we'll watch here is how much oil prices could rise and how much gas prices could rise. the expectation had been that these gas prices would stay well below year-ago levels, in part because global demand is softening for oil from china and the united states. because the overall economies are cooling off. we're not running as quite a hot economy this year as we were

last year. that's what we're watching right now on the oil story. it's been a very good story for oil prices and maybe you'll see those declines slow down or even reverse a little bit. >> we will be watching. christine romans, thank you. >> it brings into question biden's trip to saudi arabia and the goal of that and look what is happening. >> happening today, apple set to reveal its biggest product launch in a year -- in years, not just a year, a quote mixed reality headset. what is that? i can tell you it's expensive. that's next.

if you look back at a appopoint in time, zoom out to the future and look back, you'll wonder how you led your life without augmented reality, just like today you wonder, how did people like me grow up without the internet. >> that is quite a bit, right? >> yeah, i'm not sure i'm going to be thinking about it, but somebody might be, apparently. for years, apple's ceo tim cook has expressed interest in augmented reality. and today, the company may finally be ready to officially

enter the space. in just a few hours, the tech giant is expected to announce its most ambitious new hardware product in years. a mixed reality headset that apparently offers both virtual reality and augmented reality, technology that essentially overlays virtual images on live video of the real world. but as our next guest writes, this apple launch feels different. quote, there are real questions about whether anyone will want to buy what apple is apparently selling. an ungainly piece of equipment that will cost around $3,000 and make the wearer look extremely uncool. joining us now is senior correspondent, lots of speculation and anticipation, but lots of questions about what this is going to look like. >> lots of questions and kind of muted anticipation. i've been covering apple losses for a long time, and this has the least buzz i've ever seen, especially for such a huge, unprecedented launch. >> i thought this was

interesting, you wrote in your piece, this one feels different. talking about their announcement. the coming headset feels deflated unlike any of the anticipation that accompanied earlier products. but at the best case scenario, it's an hint of the tech to come. this is going to be like $3 grand. >> that's the reported purchase price. meta has a version of this thing that has $500, but it won't be anywhere near as advanced. and i think what apple is saying here is, this is the future, so you can take a very early stab at it, starting wherever these things actually go on sale. but down the line is when these things are really going to be mainstream, hopefully, if you're apple. >> so why do you think the anticipation or the buzz has been more muted. is that it's kind of clunky and bulky, and as you say, uncool looking? is it the cost or too early days? >> there are headsets out in the wild, you can buy them today. they're not enormously popular, and that is part of the reason

that people aren't overly excited about this one. they've seen headsets before. they're not sure that they want to own one that apple puts out. it will have to be something amazing. and you won't be able to see how amazing it is until you strap this thing on your head. >> but -- >> when i think about why apple has been so successful, it's because every big launch that's taken off, whether it was the mac or whether it was the iiphone or the ipod or the -- is it called iwatch? i don't know, i don't have one. >> the apple watch. >> it's because it's made our lives easier. tim cook says, you'll need this as much as you need the internet. >> everyone is right to figure out how to sell these things. meta has tried to say these things are for work and collaboration, also gaming. apple doesn't seem to be playing up the idea it's gaming advice. again, $3,000 is a very expensive gaming device. tim cook did an interview with "gq" earlier this year and put

up the idea that this is something that you can work with people using. they're all casting about for a use case for it and that's pretty worrisome. if you're an apple bull, you say everything that you just said. in the past, they've taken devices that other people have made and made a better version of that. that's the best argument for apple. >> i think one thing that could help is understanding the real applications of it. are we talking about when you say work, perhaps using it and you are transported into a meeting with your colleagues and los angeles. help me understand the theory, the application. >> that's the theory, you've strapped this thing on. i keep saying meta over and over. but meta has been prothc proth . >> this is an example of one. a whale in a school. >> it's cool. >> by the way, that's not apple. that's a company called magically.

>> the idea is that apple's tech would make things for what these companies are creating more accessible. >> this was an earlier version of a headset, which didn't really pan out. an enormous amount of money invested in it, no one used it. still exists, by the way, lot of these things still exist on someone's shelf. that is the pitch that you can look at reality, have an alien or a whale appear -- i don't know why i would want that. but in theory, we could do that. >> i think for now, it's just nice to just look at you hear, at the desk. >> i much prefer in person. >> thank you, peter. >> so nice to have you. this morning, the fbi is bringing a biden-related internal document to capitol hill. why lawmakers on the oversight committee want to see it. plus, joran van der sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance of american teenager natalee holloway will be transferred into u.s. custody this week. the new details, ahead. delicious too. just ask my old friend, kevin. nothing like enjoying a cold one while watchihing the game.

welcome back. the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of natalee holloway will be transferred into u.s. custody this week. peruvian officials say that they will hand over joran van der sloot on thursday. he's set to stand trial for allegedly extorting ing hollowa family years after her disappearance. cnn's jean casarez joins us live. so what more do we know about this transfer? >> first of all, the transfer from the prison, which is the southern-most tip of peru happened in the early morning hours of saturday. i think we have video. thanks to cnn ins pespanol, the

were in that southern tip of peru, a very remote area. this is the first video we have seen of joran van der sloot since 2010. and as you notice, she was shackled, the handcuffs were put on. and he was -- he's got his own clothes on, because in peru, you can wear your own clothes. you don't have to wear prison garb. i noticed when he was signing something at one point, he had a bracelet on, multi-colored. you'll see it right there, the bracelet. they did medical tests on him in those early morning hours, checked his heart, they took his blood pressure. i understand that they did a covid test. and so he was transferred to a prison where he is now, which is right outside of lima. he will remain there until interpol, which is the intercountry policing agency picks up and takes him to the airport. he will be handed off to u.s. law enforcement authorities. and we have a quote that we want

to show you from the president of peru's penitentiary institute. he says, everything is ready for him to be handed over. we have him safe, which is what the u.s. authority requested. that he would be in good health. that is how we will keep him until the 8th. we guarantee that. now, this is a temporary transfer. it's under the transition treaty, because he's currently serving that murder sentence. but he will be in the hands of u.s. to face u.s. justice for extortion and wire fraud of natalee holloway's mother. >> but not for murder. >> not for murder. no jurisdiction in the u.s. for murder here. >> for extortion. jean casarez, thank you. >> thank you. the body of brandon colvin sr. has been recovered from that six-story rshl building collapse in davenport, iowa. you'll remember when that happened last sunday, officials say they informed the family on saturday. on the same day, his son graduated from high school.

look at the juxtaposition of those two pictures there. the 18-year-old slept on the pavement near the building and refused to leave, despite the risk of the falling structure. nine survivors were rescued from the rubble. officials say two other residents are still missing. this morning, the fbi is bringing in internal documents for house oversight leaders to rue on capitol hill today. some republicans expect this to shed light on a claim that then vice president biden accepted a bribe of $5 million from a foreign national in exchange for a policy outcome. the document contains allegations made by an unnamed whistleblower, which the fbi and the prosecutors could not corroborate. cnn's sara murray joins us now. so sara, why is the fbi bringing the document to capitol hill now? >> look, james comer, the house oversight chair had subpoenaed the fbi for this document and has threatened to hold fbi director chris wray in contempt.

so this is sort of an attempt at a compromise for the fbi to come and share this document with comer as well as the top democrat in this committee. it allegedly has these allegations that joe biden was involved in a bribery scheme when he was vice president. the white house has denied this and dismissed this as political attacks. and the fbi has urged caution in some of their letters to the kk committee, pointing out that the kind of document shows information that comes from a confidential source, but it's information that's unverified and unsubstantiated. and we've learned from sources that these allegations sort of step back to the kind of thing that rudy giuliani was sharing with the justice department back in 2020. at that time, doj was led by bill barr during the trump administration. and doj was pretty skeptical with these allegations. a lot of the information was coming from ukrainian sources. and as you pointed out, when fbi and prosecutors started to review this information, they couldn't corroborate the claims. so i think for republicans, it's going to be sort of a heavy lift to try to prove to the american

people if there's anything in this that is actually true. but again, they want to move this process forward. they want to see this document today. and i suspect that we're going to continue to hear james comer sort of banging the drum of potential contempt, because what he really wants a copy of this document to be shared with congress. >> all right. more to come here. sara, thank you. >> thanks. bruce springsteen, taylor swift, beyonce, filling up stadiums across the world this summer. harry enten here with this morning's number. ♪ this is the lexus variety of electrification... inspired by, created for and powered by you. ♪ lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. delicious too. just ask my old friend, kevin. nothing like enjoyg a cold one juswhile watching the game.in. who's winning? no idea. real milk.
