Federal prosecutors in a new court filing revealing they plan to indict the president s son, hunter biden. They plan to file Felony Charges involving the illegal purchase of a gun by the end of this month. The gun charge had been part of a plea deal that hunter biden thought he had secured, but that deal fell apart in july. The new filing brought by u. S. Attorney david weiss, named special counsel by attorney general Merrick Garland. Weiss, who was appointed by donald trump, has been investigating hunter biden for five years. Abcs Chief Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas leading us off tonight. Reporter tonight, special counsel david weiss announcing in a court filing he intends to indict hunter biden by the end of the month on Felony Charges he illegally purchased a gun when he was addicted to drugs. The gun charge was supposed to go away as part of a plea deal the president s son struck with weiss, the u. S. Attorney from delaware, appointed by donald trump, who had been investigating hunter biden for five years. As part of the deal, the president s son would plead guilty to tax crimes. But that deal unraveled in late july. And weeks later, weiss asked attorney general Merrick Garland to appoint him as special could be sell in the case. Upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances related to this matter, i have concluded that it is in the Public Interest to appoint him as special counsel. Reporter weiss has made it clear the parties are no longer in plea negotiations, telling the court on august 11th, the parties are at an impasse, and the government believes this case will not resolve short of a trial. President Biden Standing by his son, but pointedly refusing to comment on his case. I have no comment on any investigation thats going on. Thats up to the justice department, and thats all i have to say. Reporter Hunter Bidens attorneys are repairing to fight. They believe the original plea deal on the gun charge should remain in place. They say the president s son should not be indicted on that charge, as long as he stays off drugs and out of serious legal trouble, david. David Pierre Thomas leading us off tonight. Pierre, thank you. Now, to these new and alarming images following the urgent manhunt in the northeast for an escaped murderer, breaking free from prison west of philadelphia. The stunning new video of the convicted murderer. How he escaped from that Chester County prison. First in a narrow hallway, then scaling the walls with his hands and feet, able to climb up onto the roof. Authorities believe he is still in that region, a heavily wooded area. And heres abcs Trevor Ault In Pennsylvania. Reporter tonight, stunning new video showing the daring Prison Escape of convicted killer danelo cavalcante, now on the run for nearly a week. At 8 51 a. M. , cavalcante escapes from the prison having crab walked up a wall, pushed his way through razor wire, run across the roof, scaled another fence, and pushed himself through more razor wire. Reporter Prison Officials in Chester County, pennsylvania, releasing this footage after days of scrutiny, saying that razor wire on the roof had been added recently, after another inmate escaped in an almost identical fashion back in may. But cavalcante was able to slip through that wire thursday, somehow evading notice of an Observation Tower guard. At 9 45 a. M. , they conducted a special count. Reporter that was nearly after an hour after he scaled that wall, and prison staff didnt sound the public escape alarm or notify 911 until 10 01 a. M. , 16 minutes after they realized he was missing. Authorities say overnight, cavalcante was spotted for the seventh time. Law enforcement swarming the area, but still unable to find him in the dense woods. Everything that im able to see, the various sightings that weve had, other aspects of this investigation, lead me to believe that he is still there in that area. Reporter sources tell abc news the extreme heat is hindering the search, making it much harder for authorities to locate Body Temperature signals from their helicopters above. But Authorities Say they wont let up. It is important that we keep pressure on him as we continue the hunt. David so, lets bring in Trevor Ault In Pennsylvania tonight. Chester county officials, trevor, facing enough questions about how the convicted murderer was able to escape. We saw that video there. Theyve been warned about this prison . Reporter thats right, david. Especially after that first prison break in may. But the Acting Warden says outside Security Consultants told them adding that razor wire to the roof would prevent an escape like this from happening again. That obviously wasnt the case. And now, that tower guard, who didnt see or report cavill can tapes escape, is now on administrative leave. David . David trevor ault, thank you. Tonight, this late season heat wave setting records, from texas, all the way up into the northeast. 88 million americans on alert tonight. And now this new front coming, set to collide with all this heat, and the real risk for damaging storms in major cities in the northeast in the next 24 hours. Tonight, New York City still under a heat advisory. The first heat wave of the year here. Many schools without Air Conditioning canceling inperson classes or dismissing early. And just before we came on the air tonight, the tropical system thats now become a hurricane. Hurricane lee, they forecast it could reach category 4 status. We have the latest possible tracks tonight, of course, the question, could it affect the east . Lets bring in senior meteorologist rob marciano, tracking it all for us, beginning with the heat tonight. Hey, rob. Reporter well, david, we got that report today that said that august, the Ocean Temperatures globally, record high, and that is fuel for hurricanes. Well get to lee in a second. But first, baltimore, 100 degrees, third record in a row, newark, albany, burlington, all broke records today. Heat advisories up into texas, as well. That front is going to crawl to the east and not really come through and going to spark damaging storms during the afternoon tomorrow. D. C. , baltimore, philly, New York City, all the way up into new england. These could have damaging winds. And the humidity sticks around. Hurricane lee now, 1,000 miles east of the leeward islands. The forecast is to keep it north of the caribbean, but explodes in intensity. Rapid intensification with the warm waters to cat 4 status by saturday. On monday, it will be north of puerto rico. And then were looking at Computer Models that want to turn it north. But its so far away, theres no way to predict with any sort of confidence that this thing will miss the u. S. David . David as you point out, rob, still so early. Well track it right here with you. Thank you. Were going to turn now to another breaking headline just as we came on tonight involving five detainees held at guantanamo bay, accused of aiding the attacks on 9 11. Tonight, President Biden is projecting the proposed conditions for plea deals involving all five. The suggested conditions included guilty pleas in exchange for life in prison, sparing them the death penalty. The decision comes just days before the nation come them rates the 9 11 attacks. Now, the charges involving former President Trump and 18 other codefendants. What the judge signaled today about whether all of them will be tried together. Heres our Senior Investigative reporter Aaron Katersky in georgia tonight. Reporter tonight, prosecutors in atlanta telling the judge they expect the trial of former President Trump and his 18 alleged coconspirators to take four months and involve dozens of witnesses. There are in excess of 150 witnesses that the state intends to call. Reporter prosecutors want to try all 19 defendants, including trump, together. But today, judge scott mcafee seemed unconvinced. I remain very skeptical. But we can im willing to hear what you have to say on it. Reporter it came in a hearing where two of the defendants, lawyers Sidney Powell and kenneth cheseboro, each asked to stand trial alone, and earlier than the others. Powell had pushed the false Conspiracy Theory that Georgia Election machines were controlled by venezuela. What we are really dealing with here and uncovering more by the day is the massive influence of communist money through venezuela, cuba, and likely china. Reporter today, her lawyer saying powell played at most a small role in the broader conspiracy alleged. Ms. Powell had nothing to do with it. Ms. Powell had nothing to do with false statements to state legislators, nothing to do with false statements to highranking government officials. Reporter chesebro allegedly plotted to keep trump in power using fake electors to falsely certify trump won georgia. His attorney arguing theres no reason to try him alongside anyone else. The state wants to make this case about donald trump. Donald trump is one of 19 defendants. Ken cheseboro is another one. Reporter but prosecutors argue even if they had limited roles, theyre charged with taking part in a larger conspiracy. Anytime a person enters into a conspiracy, they are liable for all of the acts of all their coconspirators. Reporter and tonight, the judge siding with prosecutors, ruling that powell and cheseboro should stand trial together on october 23rd. But he still hasnt decided whether the former president and the others will stand trial with them or at a later date. It just seems a bit unrealistic to think we can handle all 19 in 40something days. Reporter the judge will hold another hearing next week to decide whether prosecutors get their wish to try all 19 defendants together. Former President Trump was asked today, david, if he would testify in georgia or any of the other three criminal trials he faces. He said he would, though, we know, david, his lawyers may have a different view. David . David Aaron Katersky reporting on the case again tonight. Thank you, aaron. This evening, a new legal obstacle for former President Trump. A lawsuit aiming to bar him from the pry mimary ballot in colora. Bars any person from holding federal or state office if they, quote, engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the u. S. Whether or not they were convicted of the crime. The lawsuit filed on behalf of six republicans and unaffiliated colorado voters claiming trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election disqualifies him. Similar lawsuits are expected to be filed in other states. We turn now to the war in ukraine tonight, and the horrific scene, a deadly russian strike targeting a crowded market at lunlunchtime. 17 people are dead, a child among the dead tonight.

David, the latest aid package for ukraine includes depleted your rain yan rounds for abrams tanks, which will help them pierce through the armor of russian tanks on the battlefield. David . David britt, thank you. Back here in the u. S. Tonight, and to the new warning from federal authorities that will affect millions of americans. It involves the air bags in your cars. Potentially explosive air bag inflay or thes. We go down the list. This involves air bags used by multiple car makers. Heres Kayna Whitworth. Reporter tonight, an urgent warning for drivers, as 52 million air bag i n inflators could pose risk of serious injury or death, according to the national highway Traffic Safety administration, prompting the new push for a massive recall affecting as many as 25 million vehicles on american roads. There is a chance that when the airbags deploy that basically pieces of metal, some shrapnel could be directed towards you. And instead of saving your life, it could potentially cause some injury. And so, that is the big concern here. Reporter according to the agenerality, vehicles manufactured by 12 automakers may have driver or Passenger Air bags containing the potentially defective parts. Bmw, ford, gm, hyundai, kia, maserati, mercedesbenz, porsche, tesla, toyota, and volkswagen. The eightyear investigation was spurred by reports of ruptures in different vehicle makes and models, allegedly resulting in several injuries and the death of a michigan mother of ten. Marlene beaduoins Attorney Says she was struck and killed by metal fragments when her 2015 Chevy Traverse was involved in a minor accident. And david, the Manufacturer Arc has not responded to our request for comment.
