you. renee. renee marsh for that report. now, neither turning point nor dream city responded to cnn's request for comment. and as i mentioned, thank you, renee, for that reported new our of cnn news central starts running no after his felony conviction, donald trump out raising president biden a reclusive billionaire, giving him a major boost, the tune of $50 while the latest poll of poll shows trump and biden in a dead heat, plus you good out there a southwest flight triggering a low altitude warning flying just 525 feet above and oklahoma town. >> now the faa he is investigating that. >> and a drastic drop in border encounters. >> the number of people entering the us illegally depths by 25%. what this means for biden in an his campaign all that and more ahead this hour i'm sara sidner with omar jimenez, jon and kate out this morning. this is cnn news central all right everyone for the second month it's in a row. >> donald trump has pulled in more campaign donations, then president biden after a massive hall in the immediate aftermath of his criminal conviction in his hush money trial, trump ended may with a staggering 141 million dollars biden and the democratic party fell well short of that, even though they raised more than $85 million. last month, cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now for more on this. so geoff what do the numbers tell us here? because obviously we're talking about a lot here. >> hey, good morning, omar. we are i mean, millions and millions and that money is being spent as well, but very interesting in the filings we have been poring over the trump campaign has essentially erased the biden cash advantage. this has been something that's been consistent month by month by month. president biden and his team have outraised the trump campaign that changed in an instant around the time of trump's guilty verdict back just to last month. take a look at these numbers just from the month of may as you were saying, the biden campaign raised at $5 million to trump campaign raise 100 $141 million. many of those were through small-dollar donations. so trump campaign says, was because of people are registering their concern, their outrage over that conviction. now, what we don't know exactly is how much the trump campaign has on hand at this moment, the biden campaign going into june has a cash on hand of 212 million. they've already been spending much of that in battleground states in a big advertising campaign, the trump campaign has spent far less than that. but there is no doubt heading into the summer months, the last of four-and-a-half months of the election, if you will, there is a central parity, perhaps not a big surprise, and money was never going to be the driving factor of this rates both sides will have a lot, but certainly the trump campaign erasing that financial advantage is one sort of hurdle they have climbed here. the question is going forward, how will they spend that money? will they save it for legal fees or will they invest it in television advertising campaigns as well? >> alright, jeff, we are what, six days away now from the first and historic trump biden rematch on the debate stage, there are gonna be some differences from what we have seen in the past. what can we expect? >> without question, i mean, the two men will still be standing on stage. it's actually the last time either of the two have met together. and it's the last time either of the two have debated but the set of issues this year is so, so much different. take a look the historic rematch between joe biden and donald trump there's anything but a rerun, a vastly different set of issues are driving this race as the president and former president come face-to-face for the first debate of the 2024 campaign four years since they shared a stage for the worst america has ever had in 47 months. >> i've done more than you've done in 47 years. joe feels like an upside down lifetime ago back when the coronavirus pandemic was raging understand if you look, i mean, i have a mask right here. >> i put a mask on it when i think i needed this is his economy has been he shut down in the biden trump's sequel, an entire fairly new fight has been brewing on the campaign trail. you could end up in world war three with this person is the worst president ever. >> and in tv ads this election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family that offers a window into the new issues and fresh lines of attack. >> a reminder of just how much the country, the world and yes they have changed from an insurrection and all its fallout to a new fight on abortion rights in the wake of the us supreme court overturning roe versus wade to russia's invasion of ukraine and a war in the middle east to the very stark question of america's role in the world yet the economy, inflation, and immigration are still at the center of it. all trump's record was at the heart of their last debates, even as he sought to deflect if he gets in, you will have a depression the likes of which you've never seen your foro. one case will go to hell and it'll be a very, very sad day for this country while those warnings didn't come to pass, biden's record is now under the microscope, complicating is effort to make it a referendum on trump, the fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply ally. >> i'm not here to call out his lies. everybody knows he's a liar and america's oldest presidential candidates, or even older trump's 78 biden 81 with age and fitness for office. now a central issue in the race public opinion for presidents can be punishing biden's favorability has fallen 11 point since 2020, with nearly six in ten americans holding an unfavorable view, perceptions of trump have changed less with more than half still seeing him in an unfavorable light. televised debates have long been a storied part of presidential campaigns stream making moments for candidates. >> here you go again, get this showdown is without parallel. the nation's 45th and 46 president's still seeking to define one another in the earliest general election debates in memory and all dual being fought on new ground and history does offer no guide for this. >> we have never seen a sitting president and a former president side-by-side on the debate stage. and there was a coin toss just yesterday, the president, president biden elected to stand on the right side of the stage. i'm told that as the side here first it's his good side, if you will. and former president donald trump, he will have the last word in the debate. of course, the earliest one on record that could define the rest of this presidential campaign hi one dissipated. and as you mentioned, i mean, it'll be the first time in a long time the voters will have a chance to see them onstage together live. no scripted know teleprompter or at all. jeff zeleny. thank you so much. and

one stage moderated by jake tapper and dana bash the cnn presidential debate thursday night at nine live on cnn and streaming on max all right, we are standing by right now for a new hearing. and donald trump's classified documents, case one, that if trump gets his way, could end with special counsel jack smith no longer being allowed to prosecute him. that chances are slim, that that will actually happen, but the fact that we're talking about this right now is a win for trump, as this trial, this further delayed all of this as the new york times now reporting the judge who approved this morning's hearing was advised multiple times by her peers that's the judges, to step down from this case. katelyn polantz following all of this kaitlan, walk us through what the other judges were saying to her and why yeah, these other judges were calling budge aileen cannon, right after donald trump was indicted and she was randomly selected to oversee this case up in that fort pierce courthouse where she's the only judge up there. >> it's quite remote and one of the judges called her and suggested to her actually might be better to have this case about three hours south or even two hours south in a different courthouse that was more equipped for national security matters. perhaps you should hand it off to a more experienced judge and then because she didn't step down from the case at that time, there was another call that was placed her from the chief judge in the southern district of florida. according to the new york times, in that call that judge spoke to her about how it might not be great optics for her to continue on this case. she's quite an inexperienced jurist, having not a lot of trial experience, not a lot of political experience, not a lot of national security variance either on this classified documents, mishandling case, and the judge mentioned to her how she had handled things in the investigation where she essentially blocked the justice department from investigating after they pulled all of those boxes of classified records out of mar-a-lago and was then overturned by more experienced judges above her in the appeals court she did not give up the case at that time. that is what we know because she's still on it and she's having hearings one today, another one monday, one on tuesday that are looking at at some requests from trump as well as from prosecutors. today's hearing is going to be a long day in court where everyone is arguing about the validity of the special counsel's office, the power that office has to bring charges other judges across the country of signed off on the special counsel's office, but judge aileen cannon, she wants to hear for everything, including for people not even involved in the case. >> sarah this is caused huge delays. everyone thought this might go before the election that is clearly not happening. i do want to talk to you about what has happened with trump's former adviser steve bannon and appeals court made a decision that deeply affects him. what happened yes, you ban and convicted two years ago on contempt of congress for refusing to turn over information in that january 6 investigation, and he is going to prison. >> his report date is july 1 he said to go to the federal prison in danbury, connecticut, and he is trying to get out of that or hold it off. it's not happening as of right now at trial, judge says he needs to go to prison service time for months and now an appeals court as of last night, sara also said the same bannon is not very happy about a lot of things right now as that date approaches, it's possible he tries with the supreme court as well, but he's out there on his podcast at speeches with conservatives talking about how there's going to be retribution for political opponents are perceived political enemies of donald trump. he said specifically about andrew mccabe, one of the former top if bi officials in the trump era, we're going to come and get you. here's how andy mccabe responded to that with anderson cooper last night this they've been doing this to me, donald trump's been doing this for years. i'll be fine it's about people who will be experiencing this for the first time. and more importantly, their families i talked to former officials and everyone is in the same place like we are still committed to this country. and seeing this through, we still have faith in this systems that are, that are built to protect the rights of every american. but that's a hard thing to explain to your family when their thinking basically they don't want to have to live in this kind of fear and terror for another four years. what's really to me shocking and disgusting about the rhetoric is what it says about who we are becoming as a nation and the fact that a person who is quite possibly the next president of the united states is engaging in this level of absolutely fine fundamentally, anti-democratic rhetoric and behavior. and ideation everything he says is stands in direct contrast to, the nation that we think we are, the nation that we have always been. but i think people have got to start asking themselves, is this the direction? that we want to go? is this the country that we're becoming a place where an incoming president takes the levers of power and uses them for his own gratification to pursue enemies and yet steve bannon keeps talking. he remains in touch with donald trump as far as we understand through our sources and also what we hear from him publicly. but it may be difficult to hear from steve you've bannon starting july 1, the whole way through the end of october, sara, that's right. all right. katelyn polantz. thank you so much for all of that reporting for us this morning. omar. >> all right. a lot to talk about with me now, to help talk about all of this, is defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, shan wu. i'm all right. shan, where do you want to start here? let's start with helene cannon, because obviously we've got the two reporting that to federal judges urged her to give up this case. i mean, how unusual is have you have you ever seen that? >> it's really unusual, even the fact that we're hearing about and these are the backroom back-channel conversations is very rare i mean, i've worked for federal judges and two things to note, i think omar first if the chief judge speaks to you, it's not that they have direct supervisory authority in that sense. but there's an enormous amount of deference is given to the chief judge and for them to express that opinion to her and for her basically two bowed off is really a very unusual situation. then let's start with the fact that the chief judge took it upon himself to speak to her this notion that she was to an inexperienced to take the case. i take that with a grain of salt. i mean, got to start somewhere and mr. first case, it's a big one. it's reversed case. there's lot of confidence these young judges, lot of support given them to me that really signals his lack of confidence in her judgment because she already made that horrible debacle out of trying to interfere with the criminal investigation so as a very, very unusual situation. >> and look, today, obviously, the defense on trump's side is going to try and get the charges against trump dismissed on the grounds that special counsel counsel jack smith was improperly appointed. i know you do not believe in that strategy at all, so just explain how unusual that is and whether you you think there's even a sliver of chance for that to go through yeah. >> what's really unusual about it is that there's even this much time being devoted to it. i mean, this is something i mean, they can raise what arguments they want and maybe frivolous, but a good, competent judge was simply just dismisses on the papers she is holding like a complete hearing on it. all of the supreme court having amicus people come in, having them actually argue the issues. it's really there's no legs to stand on it all. obviously, there have been tons of special counsels have been appointed in the past and various forms and there's nothing in the constitution that prohibits that. i mean, the language and the arguments that they use is kinda just it's the equivalent them saying, hey the constitution prohibits anybody but an ally of president t
