Tonight the legal battle between former President Donald Trump and the federal prosecutors investigating january 6th is nearing a crucial showdown in court just as the republican president ial race is heating up and his own former Vice President is speaking out. Trumps legal team has now been ordered to respond as soon as possible to the justice department, which is seeking to restrain comments about the case made by trump, who has been raging against special counsel jack smith both on the campaign trail and on social media. This weekend trumps lawyers sought a delay, but the judge Tanya Chutkan denied that request and gave trump a monday deadline to respond. Trump pleaded not guilty this past week to criminal charges related to his alleged role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. Cbss Willie James Inman is in washington tracking the latest developments. Willie, good evening. Reporter good evening, robert. Ahead of mondays standoff over what former President Donald Trump can and cant say about this case, trumps lawyer john lauro argued that the former president said nothing wrong. We call it a sham indictment. And the man thats doing it, i really believe hes mentally ill. Reporter ahead of what could be a contentious courtroom battle, former President Trump slammed the indictment brought by special counsel jack smith. His legal team is planning to ask for a motion to dismiss the charges in the january 6th case. This is whats called a swiss cheese indictment. It has so many holes that were going to be identifying and litigating a number of motions that were going to file on First Amendment grounds. Reporter former attorney general william barr suggested that could be an uphill battle. Well, its certainly a challenging case but i dont think it runs afoul of the First Amendment. Reporter a new cbs news ugov poll found just over half of americans believe trump tried to stay in office illegally. Most americans also believe the indictments against trump are upholding the rule of law and defending democracy. At the same time a majority of those polled believe the investigations are aimed at stopping trumps 2024 campaign. And that number was even higher among republicans. Trumps grip on the Republican Party remains strong as he and his rivals campaign ahead of the first gop debate, which trump might skip later this month. Few of trumps rivals have been critical of him, but former new Jersey Governor Chris Christie came out swinging this weekend on cbs sunday mornings. Hes a completely selfcentered, selfpossessed, selfconsumed angry old man, and he doesnt care about anybody else other than him. Reporter trump is also pushing for a venue change in this case, possibly west virginia, but experts tell cbs news that that is unlikely to happen. Robert . Thank you, Willie James Inman. Turning now to the weather. Record flooding in alaska caused a dam to burst north of juneau that triggered a landslide, sending this house into a river. No one was inside.

Russia launched more than 70 missiles and drones at ukraine overnight in one of the biggest assaults in recent weeks. An escalation of force after two russian ships were hit and damaged by drones in the black sea. Cbs news Foreign CorrespondentRamy Inocencio is in odesa with the latest. Reporter ukraines air force said at least 10 of russias 70 missiles and drones evaded its defenses. A Blood Transfusion Center in northeast ukraine and a grain silo and military airfield west of the capital, kyiv, getting hit. Its russias likely reaction to this dramatic first on friday. Ukraines military claimed its sea drones hit a commercial russian port on the black sea and this vessel, believed to be a russian war ship. Crippled and listing to one side, it was towed home to a naval base. Satellite imagery appearing to show it leaking oil, contradicting moscows claim it successfully thwarted that attack. Port strikes have become the new battlefield, with russia hitting two minor ukrainian ports in the past two weeks and its biggest port of odesa the week before that. All forcing global grain prices higher. As drone attacks have ram upped up, too, targeting both moscow and kyiv, damaging buildings in both capitals in the past several days. In odesa the citys most important orthodox cathedral is starting an estimated five years of repairs after a Russian Missile exploded through its roof in july. Can Vladimir Putin be called a true christian . Reporter of course not. I dont even have to think about it. Because christians dont kill others. Should Vladimir Putin be forgiven . Reporter every person deserves to be forgiven. But the most importnt judgment comes from god. But there is no forgiveness from ukraines military, robert. Officials have declared several russian ports as new military threat zones and any ship carrying goods to russia will be considered a legitimate military target that can be attacked. Ramy inocencio, thank you. Today pope francis wrapped up a global catholic Youth Festival with an outdoor mass at a Waterside Park in portugal. But the week wasnt just about celebrating. As cbs newss Chris Livesay reports, the pope also addressed what he called the tremendous plague within the clutch. Reporter think of it as one part church and one part lollapalooza.

Im robert costa in new york city. Thanks for staying with us. Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school the scene of one of the deadliest shootings in u. S. History is scheduled to be demolished in the coming days. Before that ballistics experts reenacted the 2018 massacre. Nearly 140 live rounds were fired inside the School Friday as part of a civil lawsuit against the officer who was supposed to protect the school that day. Cbss Manuel Bojorquez reports. Reporter ballistics experts spent hours inside the schools 1200 building, shooting live rounds that would mimic the sounds heard during the 2018 mass shooting. [ gunshots ] eerie, painful but necessary says Tony Montalto whose daughter gina was killed. Why a reenactment . The reenactment is an attempt to disprove the falsehoods that were mentioned during the trial of the failed deputy Scott Peterson. Reporter details of the reenactment included setting off a fire alarm that blared during the shooting, retracing the shooters footsteps along the second and third floors and firing up to 139 rounds, the number fired that day. All to see what it may have sounded like outside, where surveillance cameras captured former School Resource officer Scott Peterson on a golf cart and later taking cover outside the building on his police radio for more than 40 minutes. He did not go inside to try to stop the shooter, who killed 17 people. The defendant is not guilty. Reporter a jury in june found him not guilty of several charges stemming from his response to the shooting in a separate criminal trial. His attorneys argued he could not tell where the shots were coming from due to echoes. He is still guilty of running away from our children. He is still guilty of running away from the students and teachers who depended on him for protection. Again, that was Manuel Bojorquez reporting. Turning now to health news and the biden administrations plan to wipe out hepatitis c in the u. S. The cdc estimates more than 2 Million People have the virus, and it kills more than 15,000 americans every year. Even though the disease is curable. As cbs news chief medical correspondent dr. John lapook explains, the high cost of treatment is a big obstacle for many patients. Reporter when William Glover bay was diagnosed with hepatitis c in 1992, he never imagined what his doctor would tell him 24 years later. He said william, your liver has cirrhosis. Reporter although glover bay was aware he had the virus, many are not. About 40 of the more than 2 million americans infected with the virus are unaware they have it. And thats contributed to new infections spreading. This is a silent killer. Reporter dr. Frances collins was director of the National Institutes of health for 12 years. When you first get the virus, you may have 5, 10, 15, 20 years of feeling pretty normal. Meanwhile, that virus is doing its damage. Reporter that damage can include liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is usually spread through contact with blood from an infected person. But theres hope. In 2013 a new generation of oral antiviral drugs was approved that could cure hepatitis c. One pill a day. 12 weeks. Almost no side effects. 98 cure rate. Reporter one obstacle, treatment costs tens of thousands of dollars. At its core is this largely a Health Equity issue . This is a Health Equity issue. These are often people on medicaid. They may be people who are uninsured. Reporter after leaving the nih, dr. Collins became the acting science adviser to President Biden and approached him with a bold proposal, to eliminate hepatitis c in the United States. If we could get access to the drugs for people who are infected, we calculate in ten years you would save the federal government 13. 3 billion in Health Care Costs that we wouldnt have to spend. Liver transplants, liver cancer, liver cirrhosis. You have saved billions of dollars. And tens of thousands of lives. Whats not to love here . Reporter in march President Biden gave dr. Collins his answer. Okay. Were on it. Do it. And by the way, collins, youre in charge. How did that feel . Good. Im obsessed about this. Reporter to help drive down the cost dr. Collins pointed to a program implemented in louisiana as a possible model. It began with the support of republican senator bill cassidy, who happens to be a physician who has treated people with hepatitis c. The goal was to use a subscription model. We call it the netflix model. You pay a flat fee to the drug company, get as much drug as you can, and you treat as many as you can. And that was going to be principally for the medicaid, the uninsured and the incarcerated place. Reporter after the Program Began in july 2019, the number of people beginning treatment increased dramatically, from 288 i the first three months to 1584 in the next three months. Even with the pandemic slowing treatment, the total number of patients treated has grown to more than 14,000. It is possible that you can treat a lot more patients than youve previously treated if you take the cost of the medication, if you eliminate that as a barrier. Reporter President Biden has proposed spending 12. 3 billion over the next ten years to help eliminate hepatitis c. But congressional support for that initiative will depend heavily on a pending analysis from the budget office. Good policy is good politics. But everybody in Congress Knows somebody with hepatitis c. If the administration comes up with a good plan and it can justify what its asking for and we can show success elsewhere, id like to think that we can go to members of congress and get buyin. Reporter for William Glover bay treatment of his hepatitis c in 2016 helped turn his life around. Having likely contracted the virus by sharing needles, hes now healthy and drugfree, married, has three children, and is a Community Health worker for Johns Hopkins medicine in baltimore. Well, you may be one of the soldiers in the future who go into the community and say hey, let me tell you what the story is. Because you know, hearing it from the head of the National Institutes of health is one thing. Hearing it from a Community Leader whos been there is another. And im a willing participant. I give back every day. Thats what my job is, to give back. That was dr. John lapook reporting. Theres a lot more news ahead on the cbs overnight news. Yo you gogotta try ththis new ax.

The powerful heat waves americans are experiencing this summer are hitting one group particularly hard. Runners. Michael george spoke with running coaches about how the sport is adapting and how it could become the new normal. Reporter running coach kai eng says doing what he loves when temperatures are hitting the 90s or even hundreds isnt easy. It is suffocating. It is very uncomfortable. Reporter but its not just uncomfortable. Running can also be dangerous in the midst of one of the hottest summers on record. As cbs news medical contributor dr. Celine gounder explains. The issue is when its really hot but â– alsoumid. It makes it that much harder for the body to c
