A defiant former president , donald, trump off the Campaign Trail in pennsylvania. Just a few hours, last night in iowa, at this, as he tells one interview, or even prison would not stop his campaign. If if Going Forward right you get these indictments there ends up, youve got a jury in d. C. , you get convicted and sentenced. Does that stop your campaign for president . If you are sentenced . Not at all. There is nothing in the constitution to say that it could and not at all. The former president s remarks coming as he faces mounting legal troubles from special counsel, jack smith, new charges in the classified documents case and a looming Potential Indictment for Election Interference. We will have all the latest developments in just a moment. Also this, our controversial new comments from Supreme Court justice, samuel alito, who says theres Nothing Congress can do to regulate ethics on the high court in the wake of highprofile scandals involving most prominently, himself. New information and gripping testimony during a hearing for Michigan School shooter. Plus, its, hot were keeping a close eye on the extreme heat. More than 100 million americans under heat alerts today. There may be some relief in sight for parts of the country. That is, all coming up. We are going to start with the former president hitting the Campaign Trail. He is not ignoring those new charges in the classified documents case. Lets get right to, it with nbc, s marissa borough, who is in erie, pennsylvania for us. Which is where President Trump, former, president will hold rally it just a few hours. Marissa, good to see you. Can you just walk us through this . What do we expect trump to say tonight as he campaigns with these new charges . Well, if last night is any indication, the Iowa Republicans you can expect the former president , remember, this is just one day after those new charges dropped. What we saw last, night the former president was both defiant and deflected. Listen for yourself. They want to weaponize the irs, just like they weaponize the Justice Department and the fbi. By the, way if i werent running, i would have nobody coming after me. Or if i was losing by a lot, i would have nobody coming after me. They would not be coming after me. Now, what you did not hear after that was the raucous applause. That was maintained throughout his entire appearance last. Night i think the Iowa Republican dinner is the perfect example of this landscape that gop rivals have as they are navigating the 2024 election. What we saw works well with his rivals, including his top contenders, really staying away from taking him head on. Even though this was just a day after those fresh new charges. There is only one person, texas former congressman, will hurd, he said several things that were very outright against the former president. He said that former President Trumps only running to escape present. And he said a vote for trump, voting for trump, is ensuring that biden or the democrats will win 2024. So what was interesting is, if you listen to, that you see that heard was met with boos, repeatedly as he named those claims and assertions. Again, you see, historically, that is something that former President Trumps rivals have really been hesitant to do. Because they know that it is divisive. This is the former president , hes lead contender among the republicans who are running. It is definitely trafficy for them. We did just see by the way, within the, hour the former president responded to herds claims on truth social. Repeating it exactly what you just heard, that soundbite from last, night its the exact same thing. The only reason these charges are coming about is because he is running. And because hes a lead character. Obviously the rally is coming up soon in just a few. Hours at six, oclock there are people lining up since early this morning, through the rain, so neither charges nor weather is keeping people from coming out, showing up. We have a preview of what we can expect tonight. A preview, to say the, least marisa, thank you so much. Joining me now is nbc Senior National politics reporter, jonathan, Allen Informal federal prosecutor at msnbc legal analyst, carole lamb. Jonathan, i will start with you. Lets talk about the new defended in this latest indictment. Carl olivier era, he is scheduled to what more do we know about these figures name ten unnamed in the new charges here . Hes a point of personal privilege to congratulate you on nominated for an emmy as outstanding emerging journalist. Pretty amazing news, all of us who work with you know that its well deserved. The nomination, and you and our other colleagues who was also nominated. Good luck. Thank you so, much. John but to catch up with these, folks carlos de oliveira, the government says he was part of a conspiracy with donald trump. Both of them were indicted in miami. Its part of a wedge scheme. De oliveira the government says he was the person who deliver the message to someone in i. T. That trump wanted Security Camera footage deleted from servers. So that is part of what the government is saying is an effort to obstruct justice and find out what was going on with those classified documents. So thats the importance of de oliveira, another person named as part of this village conspiracy. Thanks for the analysis, john, thanks for your time. Carol, lets stick with you. Now they olivia is alleged to have asked a maralago employee about deleting a server with security footage. On it, the leading excuse, me the footage, for quote, the boss, it remains unclear what happened with the server mentioned in the indictment. Does it even matter if it was deleted or not . And does it matter that they they olivia at never actually named trump specifically . I think it doesnt matter as much that trump wasnt named pacific, lee and was referred to only as the boss. It seems pretty obvious who the boss was, at maralago. And i think were gonna have testimony from mr. Taveras, the i. T. Director, about who the boss was. I think more likely the issue for jack smiths team, and this is what Trial Attorneys have to worry about, is there were two parties to this conversation. It seems unlikely that this conversation was recorded. And it appears the jack smiths team tried very hard to get mr. Dale liver us to cooperate as well. Because they had him testify about the statement that the boss wants these tapes deleted, they would have loved to have had the other party to that conversation also confirming that. But he apparently refused to cooperate and thats why he ended up indicted. And what that means, is that all of this evidence rests now on mr. Tavares. He has to be available to testify at trial. Although im sure jack smiths team locked his testimony in the grand jury under oath, that is not admissible in trial, because the defense has the possibility to cross examine the witness. And that wasnt a possibility. So thats why jacks mitts team wants to get this case to trial as soon as possible. You make an interesting. Point that conversation may not have been reported, but one that was was from 2021. Where we heard former President Trump discussing iran classified documents. Lets take a listen. Well with milley, a, let me show you an example, he said that i wanted to attack iran. Isnt it amazing . I have a big pile of papers. This thing just came up. Isnt that amazing . This totally wins my case, you know. Except it is, like, highly confidential. All sorts of stuff. Pages long. Look. Wait a minute, lets see here. See, as president , i could have declassified. Now i cant, you know. But this is classified. Trump said in an interview with foxs, brett, bear that he did not have those papers. The updated indictment now provides those specific dates in which they say trump was in fact in possession of them from january 20th, 2021, the day he left office, through january 17th, 2022, which notably is the date trump turned over 15 boxes of president ial material to the national archives. So what does it mean . Now that prosecutors actually have this document. This is what we call a bad fact for the defense. After the client has gone out and said things about that tape, and about what was going on in the room that day, now there is evidence that it says something to the contrary. So we know a couple of things now from this document that has now been charged in the indictment. We know that from this tape, the president actually was waiting around and actually classified a document. And he himself characterized it in this tape as being still, a classified document. Even though it had been removed from the white house. And he was no longer the president. That is one damaging fact for the defense. The other thing that it tells us is that it gives us some idea why donald trump wanted to retain these classified documents. He is willing to use them to contradict anybody he feels is not loyal to him anymore. That is not a legitimate use of classified documents. He knows, that the defense the knows that, and this is just really a disaster for the defense. A lot of eyes on this, one carol lamb, thank you so much for your time. Well, more than 100 Million People are under heat alerts right now. Phoenix hitting 110 degrees, for its 30th straight day. Were back in 60 seconds with where we may soon see relief.

Welcome, back more than 100 million americans remain under searing heat alerts today, covering more than half of the country states. We will get the detailed forecast, including the storm threat, 60 million americans from michelle grossman, our meteorologist, in just a minute. First, nbcs guad but i think us in whammy. Quad, i hope youre staying cool. A senior on the beach. Zane, klay after the way its been this last month, like its a little cooler, but we still have a heat index of about 99 degrees. It is hot, just not as hot as what weve experienced. But its still danger when, someone is exposed to the sun and the heat. Depending on what part of the country your, and you have to take precautions. We look at these numbers, more than 100 Million People under heat alerts. I spoke with some of the National Weather service who said its about 117 people, 117 Million People, that, is 30 states under these alerts. Now, here in miami, we have a lot of locals that are close to the sun. Used to the sun. People come to the speech, trying to escape the. Heat it can be dangerous. The people that come out and expose themselves to the sun dont take the necessary breaks, or drink enough water, here is part of a conversation i had with a local who was on the beach just a few hours ago. Im used to it. I already enjoy it. But im not afraid of it. So you dont stay out here all day . No, its impossible. Its too much. I can take maybe two hours. And thats the maximum i will come out. A listen to a little, music which helps you pass the time. But about two hours is my limit. Yes. But then i go to the sea, you take your precautions. Theres danger in everything you do. The, play i spoke to local authorities, as we covered the heat, something that people brought up is that tourists come out, hang out at the beach all day, long and not realize how dangerous that can be. Something like taking a break for 30 minutes, going inside a restaurant, in the Air Conditioning, drinking water, that could be the difference between getting sick and heat exhaustion, or someone that safely comes and enjoy the beach. Again, depending on where people are at, there are different resources. This is miami, they have a lot of Air Conditioning. Most of the units have Air Conditioning so people can escape he and go inside of their homes. In other cities, there isnt enough Air Conditioning, and there are more cooling centers. Depending on where you live, people do have to check what the resources are out there. Taking breaks from the sun and the shade and drinking the water necessary, thats the most important thing. And sometimes people do forget to keep it in mind. We really important, points especially during the Summer Vacation season, guad, thank you so much. Lets bring in nbc news meteorologist, michelle grossman, michelle, always good to see you. I hope youre bringing good news, any break insight . Highs in play, always good to see. We do have a little bit of relief. I heat is the number one related killer of all weather related events. Flooding, no, hurricanes . No. Its. Heat 170 Million People still under heat alerts. Its from the southwest, south states the, plains, midwest into the east. We do have some relief, already peeling its all due to a cold front. The price were going to pay some storms. We already saw some storms yesterday in the midwest. Great lakes and northeast, we will see the norms in the next few hours. Look at those temperatures behind this cold. Front were looking at the low, 80s upper 70s, 77 in buffalo. Beautiful triangles there showing us the recklessly below average in those spots. We havent said that in quite some time. Ahead of this, front were still sizzling. Were still sweltering and were gonna keep the temperatures high in the south. As we go throughout the rest of the week. Today, in new york city, 93 degrees. You factor in humidity, its really important point because if thats what it feels. Like we feel the heat on our bodies. It feels like 100 degrees in new york city. You need to be careful. There as we go throughout, sunday notice that cooler air invades into portions of the northeast. Thats a good. Think 86 degrees in philadelphia. 79 on sunday in boston, 80s in pittsburgh, 70s and milwaukee, also detroit. Ahead of this front, its gonna feel like 100. Degrees were gonna keep it comfortable in the northeast as we go through tuesday wednesday. We will take a break weve been talking about this heat wave for weeks and weeks. But we do have a heat wave also in the ocean. So its called a marine heat wave. We are looking at temperatures so above normal this time of. Your Gulf Of Mexico is 86 degrees. We go from the sun on land into a jacuzzilike environment in the ocean. No relief. Look at this, bay 101. 1 degrees. That is mindblowing. 76 off the north atlantic coast. Mediterranean sea, 80. Three tropical atlantic, 83. Why is this important . , well if its linked to climate change. Were seeing heat waves. What does it . , meanwhile it fuels the storms, well see more powerful. Storms it will be an important point as we get closer to the hurricane season. Its a, quite well and it, here because the warmer ocean slows down our ocean. And that is why were seeing this heat wave for so long. Were seeing some its like a Conveyor Belt at the grocery store. Back to. You not just big, numbers but big implications. Michelle grossman, thank you so much. Well, still, ahead we are live in niger president , following a cue. What the u. S. Is saying and doing about. It just assemble alito says congress is no right to make rules related to Supreme Court ethics issues. Two former members of the.

And now, trade in your current phone, welcome back, im missing and get up to 1000 off the new galazy z flip 5 and z fold 5. Classic one. The 81yearold Kentucky Republican was escorted away from the podium at the capitol after freezing midsentence while talking in front of reporters and colleagues. I want to bring in nbc,s julie tsirkin, on capitol hill. Julie, what are we learning about what happened to senator mcconnell and what is the reaction on the hill to that Press Conference . Well, his colleagues privately are concerned. Some of them telling me and my colleagues that after Leader Mcconnell suffered the fall back in march, when he was out for quite sometime, he suffered a concussion. A broken rib as well. They were concerned he is not performing as well as he used. To mcconnell has really had a firm grip on the Republican Party for sometime. He is a tactical politician. He really is the forefront of any bills that make it to the floor. He keeps his conference intact. There is concern hes been slower than usual. Mcconnell survived polio as a child. Often when we talk to him in the hallways, hes a little slower on his game, generally. He trips or stumbles here and there. But really, since he returned from that fall he suffered, not only a fall then but as we learned a few weeks ago, deplaning at dca, another time. So really, as more of the situation happen with him and other colleagues in the senate who are in their 80s, who are perhaps also in their 90s, like senator diane feinstein, less than 24 hours after that moment with donald had two slip ups during a Committee Markup thursday morning. All of the situations continue to happen, it does put a s
