And its great to have you with us here on a very busy tuesday night. And we begin with that plane crash. The miracle survivors tonight.

Abcs Victor Oquendo with the images coming in tonight. Reporter tonight, a miraculous story of survival in honduras. The gulfstream private jet cracked in two. Bystanders and rescuers racing to pull survivors from the smoldering wreckage, some trying to lift the door, others using fire extinguishers around the plane. Firefighters covering it with foam.

Six people aboard the plane, five americans. Local reports say the red cross transported all six to a hospital. All are expected to survive. Its not clear what caused the crash, but tegucigalpas airport, surrounded by mountains, is notorious for being one of the most difficult to approach. You could be too fast as youre coming down that hill, and if you land too fast and you dont have the airplane under control, its not hard, as weve seen at numerous instances at this airport, to go off the end of the runway.

David . Just unbelievable. Victor, thank you. The other story weve been following all day long here, the new message from President Trump when it comes to that facetoface summit with kim jongun. The president sounding much more tentative about the whole thing. The summit appears to be on shaky ground tonight. President trump himself casting some doubt today during an urgent meeting at the white house with south koreas president. The president saying the plans are still moving forward, but the president also indicating that he believes something changed when the north korean dictator traveled to china to meet with president xi. Abcs chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl on the new promises President Trump is now making to try to make this happen. Reporter President Trump today greeted south koreas president , leading him by hand into the west wing to huddle about the summit with kim jongun. A summit the president now says may or may not happen. Theres a chance that it will work out. Theres a very substantial chance that it wont work out. And thats okay. That doesnt mean it wont work out over a period of time. But it may not work out for june 12th. Reporter it was the north koreans who first raised the possibility of canceling, objecting to demands from the u. S. They give up their entire Nuclear Program before getting anything in return. Today, the president suggested he could back down from insisting kim gives up all his nukes at once. It would certainly be better if it were all in one. Does it have to be . I dont think i want to totally commit myself, but all in one would be a lot better. Reporter President Trump seemed to blame china for the complications, saying kim jongun changed his tune after having a second unannounced meeting with the chinese president. I think there was a little change in attitude from kim jongun. So, i dont like that. I dont like that. Reporter President Trump made it clear he is willing to offer a lot to north koreas dictator. I will guarantee his safety. Yes. He will be safe. He will be happy. His country will be rich. Reporter he says japan, china and south korea will pitch in, too. They will be willing to help and, i believe, invest very, very large sums of money into helping to make north korea great. Reporter the president has relished talk of the summit as a path to the nobel prize. Thats very nice, thank you. Thats very nice. Nobel. Reporter a military office assigned to the white house has already created a commemorative coin for the summit, referring to kim as, quote, supreme leader. Supreme leader. Jon karl from the white house tonight. And jon, the president once said that when it came to north korea and the summit, it was very simple, in the president s words, saying north korea would have to, quote, get rid of their nukes before any benefits from a deal. But today, we were listening, he seemed to move the goal posts a bit. Reporter well, the president said today he would still like to have what he called an all in one deal, but he certainly left open the possibility of accepting something short of that. And david, make no mistake, rewarding north korea before it gives up its entire nuclear concession. All right, jon karl live froo developments tonight after that female Police Officer was killed agenteer officer amy caprio was the fir she was called to the scene of a suspected robbery, and tonight, reporter officer amy caprios alleged killer, a charges tonight of mowing her down with a vehie.

Next, the new threat at this hour from the kilauea volcano. A river of lava creeping closer to the islands power plant tonight. The results could be explosive, leaving thousands without power. Abcs chief National Correspondent matt gutman live from the big island tonight. Matt, a dramatic scene behind you right there. We should let our viewers know that you and the team are at a safe distance. Reporter thats right, david. We are at a safe distance away. Believe it or not, this is just one of several fissures like this geysering lava 100, 150 feet into the air. And one volcanologist i spoke to said that she has seen lava fountains before, but nothing on this scale. Tonight, multiple fissures reactivating, pumping cascades of lava 150 feet high. Early this morning, the National Guard flying above that hellscape. The only way to capture the scope of it is from the air. That is the highest thing in the landscape right now. Right by that fountain of lava, the areas geothermal plant, supplying 30 of the islands electricity. We saw lava breaching the property. Officials say theyve removed 50,000 gallons of flammable gas and are right now racing to cap a final well. In the helicopter, we followed those rushing rivers of lava to the ocean. Whats incredible is when you fly right over those two rivers of lava down there, you can actually feel the heat being generated, what, 2,000 feet above them. The air in the southern part of the island, increasingly toxic. And you can see what this wind is doing, it is kicking up all of this steam and sulfur dioxide. Now, thats hazardous to breathe. And there are multiple times more sulfur dioxide in the air now than there were a couple of days ago. Families like dee nevarez racing to evacuate their idyllic homes earlier this month, now returning home to this. Wow, look at that scene. Lets get back to matt tonight. We know the lava is about 2,000 degrees, you told us that already, matt. So, give us an idea of how hot it is for you and the team and the people who live nearby. Reporter well, where im standing, going to take a thermometer reading on my back, about 125 degrees. Kind of like a sauna where my crew is, its about 100 degrees. And david, even from the air, a couple thousand feet up, we could feel the heat from that fissure. Volcanologists say that what youre seeing behind me could keep going for weeks on end here, covering much more of this island with this kind of thick volcanic crust. David . Matt gutman following this for days for us. Matt, thank you. We are also following several weather headlines tonight. The tropical system that could hit this memorial day weekend, but first tonight, the severe thunderstorm watch at this hour, actually from the ohio valley all the way over to the northeast. Five water rescues already in albuquerque. One person killed there. Mudslides shutting down a highway in nevada tonight. The southeast in the bullseye, cars under water in raleigh. Those images coming in. So, lets get right to meteorologist rob marciano, who has been tracking it all day for us. Hey, rob. Reporter hey, david. So much of this area has already seen a lot of water. Lets get to the severe thunderstorm watches posted for much of ohio, in through pittsburgh, youre about to get hit. D. C. Saw strong storms. Richmond, youre in it until 9 00 tonight. Now, to the carribean. 40 chance of these storms becoming a tropical system over the next five days. By friday, gets into the gulf of mexico. Uncertainty after that. But what is certain, heavy rain from florida into the southeast, three, five inches of rain. This area already saturated, david. All right, rob marciano with us tonight. Rob, thank you. President trump taking aim at the justice department, the fbi tonight, saying that if the fbi infiltrated his campaign for political purposes, it would be, a, quote, disgrace. But has the president provided any proof that actually happened . Heres abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega tonight. Reporter President Trump today dialing up the outrage at the unsubstantiated claim the fbi may have used spies to infiltrate his campaign. A lot of people are saying they had spies in my campaign. If they had spies in my campaign, that would be a disgrace to this country. That would be very illegal, aside from everything else. Reporter there is no evidence that actually happened. The president s growing anger stems from a New York Times report that claims as part of the 2016 investigation into russian meddling, the fbi used an informant to question two Trump Campaign associates about their contacts with russians. Some man got paid, based on what i read in the newspapers, and on what you reported, some person got paid a lot of money. Reporter Law Enforcement experts say, in reality, the use of such informants is routine. And that news report made no mention of spies infiltrating the trump team. But that did not stop the president from tweeting an extraordinary edict. I hereby demand a new ai. Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein and fbi director white house yesterday. Rosenstein ordering the justice departments Inspector General concerns as part of an ongoing probe. In the president s crosshairs, rosenstein, who just weeks ago vowed to stand his ground. The department of justice is not going to be extorted. Were going to do whats required by the rule of law. Reporter but today, President Trump refused to give rosenstein a vote of support. Do you have confidence in Rod Rosenstein . Whats your next question, please . Cecilia vega with us from inside the Briefing Room tonight. Cecilia, the American People were told before the election that the fbi was investigating russian meddling, legal observers say fbi informants would be fairly standard in that case. But as you report tonight, the president is now saying something very different here, saying there were spies inside his campaign, potentially. Is the white house providing any proof tonight . Reporter well, david, none yet. And this is not the first time the president has raised this question about spies being in his campaign. He said it now a number of times. Its also not the first time hes peddled an unsubstantiated claim like this. Of course, youll remember, he said everything from president obama was not born in this country to president obama had trump tower wiretapped. David . Cecilia, stay with us for a moment, as there is a breaking headline late today regarding Michael Cohen, President Trumps former personal lawyer, who was raided by the fbi and is under investigation. The New York Times reporting tonight that a longtime partner of cohens in the taxi business has now taken a plea deal. Evgeny freidman agreed to plead guilty to one count of tax evasion, and promised to cooperate with state and federal investigators. Freidman is a russian immigrant, hes known as the taxi king. So, lets get back to cecilia tonight. What could this mean for Michael Cohen . Reporter well, it could potentially mean more trouble, david. It remains to be seen. Freidman cut a deal and will serve no jail time in exchange for cooperating. Investigators could certainly use this to pressure Michael Cohen. Privately, some close to the president have said, if an investigation leads to cohens businesses, it could push him to flip and cooperate with federal investigators. Cecilia vega with us from the white house tonight. Cecilia, thanks, as always. We have new details tonight about the School Bus Driver involved in that fatal crash we reported on, on a new jersey highway. Dmv records show that 77yearold hudy muldrow had a valid license with no points, but that his license had been suspended 14 times since 1975. Most for parking violations.

Reporter tonight, a bizarre case of parents versus son. Mark and christina rontondo telling a judge, through an attorney, that their 30yearold son must move out of their home. They have no obligation to provide support. Hes well over the age of 21. Reporter in a lawsuit, they say they have sent him five letters in the past two months, like this one you must leave this house immediately, telling him, you have to work. Even giving him more than 1,000 to find a new place. There is no reason for these people to have him in their home. Reporter michael says hes planning to leave in a few months. Im not a burden to them in the home. They dont provide laundry or food. Its really a moot point for them to seek me to be ejected. Reporter the judge in the end siding with the parents. Im granting the eviction. I think the notice is sufficient. It sounded like he said you need to vacate today. It sounded kind of like that, too, but thats just so ridiculous. Reporter and david, tonight, michael says he has his own web business and plans to appeal, but it did not go unnoticed that when he left the courthouse today, he went right back to his parents house.
