co-defendants. and another confirmed sighting of danelo cavalcante. the convicted murderer who escaped prison last week, there have been nine confirmed sightings in the last nine days and yet the pennsylvania escapee is still on the run. 3,400 feet beneath the surface, an american is alive in a deep cave. we are learning when the rescue operation could get him out. this hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now. ♪ ♪ this morning we could see the full report from the fulton county special grand jury in georgia investigating the election subversion case there. the one that ultimately led to the indictment of former president trump and 18 co-defendants. we have been waiting for this for months. a reminder, this is different than the grand jury that returned the indictments last month. of this is the special grand jury that investigated efforts to overturn the 2020 election last year and recommended charges. grand jurors heard from over 75 witnesses over seven months. in february, nine pages of the report were released but not the charming recommendations because the judge wanted to protect people's due process rights. the foreperson of that jury certainly gave us a lot of information when she talked to our colleague. >> there are indictments recommended of course. is it more than 12 people? is it more than 20 people? >> i think if you look at the page numbers of the report, there is about six pages in the middle that got cut out. allow for spacing. it's not a short list. >> do id you recommend charges against donald trump? >> we definitely heard a lot about former president trump and we definitely discussed him a lot in room. and i will say that when this list comes out, you wouldn't -- there are no major plot twists waiting for you. >> so today we will learn how closely this report lines up with the indictments that were handed down last month and we will learn if special grand jurors wanted to indict more people. >> all that comes as trump tells a judge he may try to move his case into federal court, the same change his former chief of staff mark meadows is attempting now. and rudy giuliani now has about $1 million to put towards his roughly $5 million legal debt after a $100,000 a plate at bedminster overnight. sara murray, when it comes to what we may see from this special grand jury release, we got a teasener february. what are you expecting? th what's going to stand out to you? >> the teaser in if teb was limited. we have only seen a tiny portion of what they concluded. we didn't see any of the recommendations. we will be looking for who they thought should be indicted in this case and how closely that alliance with what fulton county district attorney fani willis decided to in indicting donald trump and 18 co-defendants. the one unanimous conclusion we know the special grand jury came to came out a couple of months ago in the excerpts the judge released. no widespread fraud took place in the georgia 2020 presidential election that could result in overturning the election. so they were pretty unequivocal about that. they also raised concerns that some witnesses had lied to them over the course of their investigation. we know one of those witnesses they believe to be bob cheeley, who is pro-trump attorney who pled not guilty and was charged with perjury. they said a majority of the grand jury believes that perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses. the grand jury recommends that the district attorney seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling. that's the other thing we will be looking for. was it more than bob cheeley, where they believe they lied and should face charges as a result of it, phil. >> with the different kind of elements and threads flying around, i was struck by the district attorney's letter to house republican congressman jim jordan related to his attempts to investigate her, at least in terms of the tone. >> i know how much you love letters to congress. i am hard pressed to think of a letter that is more scathing than the one that fani willis wrote to jim jordan. there is an investigation essentially into her investigation. she dismissed this as a ploy and declined to give them any of the information they were seeking except for a breakdown of the federal funds that her office received for grants that she said were for things like violent crime, at-risk youth and domestic violence. here is a portion of what she said in her letter to jim jordan. your job description doesn't include criminal law enforcement nor supervising a specific criminal trial because you believe that doing so will promote your partisan political objectives. such vengeful uncalled for legislative action would impose serious harm on citizens we serve, including the fact that it will make them less safe. phil, she also included examples of the threats her office has been receiving, essentially told jim jordan if he wants to investigate something, they should look into the threats she and other prosecutors have faced for investigating the former president. >> great reporting. thank you. this morning rudy giuliani is still millions of dollars in debt after former president trump hosted a $100,000 per person fundraiser last night in his legal defense. giuliani is struggling to pay for the slew of fees and fines and sanctions and damages tied to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. kristin h kri kristen holmes is following all of this. >> a small dent. he was expected to raise over $1 million. as you noted, one source estimated giuliani's debt at $5 million. remember, there are still legal cases that he needs lawyers and will have mounting fees for. as we have reported, trump paid the legal bills through his leadership pac of a number of aides, advisors and employees, and not rudy giuliani. now, when i talked to advisors he pushed back on the notion that trump isn't helping giuliani. at one point the leadership pac paid $300,000 in giuliani's debts. they also point to the fact that he is hosting trump is hosting fundraisers, going to sponsor two fundraisers for rudy giuliani. but we heard from a lawyer last night for giuliani who said the former mayor needs every penny he can get. >> i assume they are trying to raise as much as possible and i think they will need it. i don't care how much money you have. you can't out spend the state. being named in an indictment and knowing the scale, scope, length of this trial, even the preliminary matters, is going to be extremely costly and the state has nearly unlimited funds. >> now, the matter of helping rudy giuliani has kind of split trump camp. you have people who say it is important to keep giuliani in the fold, keep their interests aligned, so trump should pay the legal builds. on the other side, just let the former mayor lose. trump has a very close relationship with rudy giuliani. they were eating lunch together this week. they were seen greatest supporters at bedminster. i am told he has not ruled out down the line paying some of rudy's fees, but it's not going to happen light now. >> thank you. a new sighting of a convicted murderer who escaped from pennsylvania prison a week ago, state police confirming that danelo cavalcante has been spotted nine times. one area where they are focusing their search is near a popular botanical garden three miles from the prison he escaped from. danny freeman has been covering this story every single accept of the way. nine times over nine days. what's the latest, danny? >> reporter: well, the latest, phil, there has been a flurry of police activity overnight and into this morning. we have seen a lot of troopers racing down these winding roads through the night. we know that that perimeter has expanded from longwood gardens, which is a few miles south of the prison, all the way up here. we are less than half a mile from the prison right now. it is expanding and this search is intensifying because pennsylvania state police told cnn that last night there was another sighting. now, we don't have a lot of details when that sighting may have occurred or specifically where, but i want to tell you what we do know at this time. a lot of this activity started around 6:00 last night. that's when we saw a lot of police troopers flying down roads, closing off other roads that, frankly, have been open this week. one trooper telling us as they ushered us away they received new intel. we learned that longwood gardens was going to be shut down. a spokesperson for the gardens telling us that guests were asked to leave and tenants were asked to shelter in place and it was, according to the gardens, because police were actively searching an area of interest within the gardens. like i said, phil, the search perimeter right now is much larger than just that area around the gardens and police at this point are still projecting optimism. take a look at what lieutenant bibbins said yesterday. >> i have every reason to believe he is still within that perimeter. we have had no sightings outside of that area. we have maintained a secure perimeter as we possibly could. >> reporter: so, phil, day nine of this manhunt, still active. some of the most police activity we have seen the past two weeks. >> thank you. we have this breaking news. the spanish national prosecutor has filed a complaint against the suspended president of spain's soccer federation, luis rubiales. this comes after rubiales kissed her after the women's world cup final on august 20th. he apologized, described the kiss as mutual, claa claim she vehemently denies. >> good morning. this is very much breaking news. it is another step on a journey when i has been going on since that incident on august 20th. but a potentially very significant one because it really paves the way for an official investigation to be launched for evidence to be gathered which could then lead to criminal charges. and really the crime that is being looking into has now officially been identified. as you mentioned, the statement from the spanish prosecutor's office says they are investigating crimes of sexual assault and coercion against jenni hermoso. we knew about ten, 12 days ago that they were going to speak to jenni hermoso to see if she wanted to make a statement or testify. we had the announcement on tuesday this week that she had, indeed, done that. the prosecutor said they were going to process that testimony as soon as possible. and this is where we are. we have had in this statement a little bit more information saying that jenni hermoso referred in her statement that both she and people close to her suffered constant and repeated pressure from luis rubiales and his professional environment. the prosecutor considers this harassment could constitute a crime of coercion. interestingly, perhaps, it adds that they are going to arequest information be collected from the australian authorities as well. of course, this incident taking place in australia at the women's world cup final. louis rubiales has been suspended by fifa. up to this point, defiant and refused to resign from his role as president of the spanish football federation. >> quite a development. thank you. when we come back we will hear from the american trapped in a cave. we have video of that in turkey. more than 3,000 feet deep. we will be joined by u.s. ambassador to turkey and former republican senator jeff blake on the latest in the rescue effort. >> as you can see,

>> i'm doing well. >> mark dickey from nearly 1,000 meters. i want to thank everyone down here and thank the response of the caving community. the quick response of the turkish government to get the medical supplies that i needed in my opinion saved my life. as you can sea, i'm up, i'm alert, i'm talking, but i am not healed on the inside yet. so i need a lot of help to get out of here. >> joining us now is the u.s. ambassador to turkey, jeff blake, also former u.s. senator. ambassador, great to have you. he sounds pretty good given the circumstances. what can you tell us about this operation as it starts, your hopes and expectations for it? >> he does look good. and you saw him there. thanking the turkish authorities for, as he said, saving his life, and it's not just turkish authorities, but the caving community around the world. i first learned of this on monday long before it was on the news from the hungarian ambassador to turkey because they had already sent some of their cavers to help him out before he would -- knew he would need such help. so it's just been phenomenal to see 170 people, at last count, six countries involved, the teams, 30 people in the cave on friday. they are giving him a lot of help. >> to that point, mr. ambassador, i think you are watching that video, you hear people around him, you talk about the people that have gone in, if so many are there and around and involved in this process, why can't they get him out now? >> you know, it takes a healthy person, about 16 hours from where he is, to climb out. and they believe that they'll have to at least for a portion of that, this time, bring him out on a stretcher or in some type of carrying device, ropes. and there are very small spaces. it's difficult when you are having to have assistance to get out. it could cake,take, a week, lon than four days, if he has to use a stretcher most of that time. so they want to make sure he is as healthy as he can be so that he can, you know, at his own assistance move more quickly. >> have you been in touch with his family? >> yes. our consular services has, yes. >> what are they saying? >> well, obviously, they are grateful for help that he is receiving, obviously, from the caving community and the turkish government. they are, obviously, hopeful that he'll get out just fine. >> okay. >> mr. ambassador, this isn't the sole thing you have going on. you are at a critical country and nato ally as well whose president just had a meeting with president putin. there is an ongoing war in crane, there is a grain deal. will there be an outcome that brings the grain deal back in place anytime soon? >> we hope so. turkey is working very hard at it. the fact that we had a grain deal before owes to turkey's negotiation on this. but let's, you know, not kid ourselves. russia has done this. they invaded the country. they are punishing not just ukrainians, but people around the world by not allowing ukrainian grain to get out. but we're hopeful that another deal with be reached. but if it can't, we are, obviously, looking for alternatives to move more grain the swedish foreign minister said sweden is ready to join nato, they are waiting for this ratification process. do you expect this to happen then, because there has been a question mark if this would happen if and when. >> we do. the promise was given in july that sweden would be moved through the parliament. the parliament reconvenes october 1st, and we expect it to happen. so we are really pleased at this. it will strengthen nato considerably, and so we are hopeful it happens as quickly as possible after ever october 1. >> we coo talk about the state of the government, the state of washington, the state of where things were headed. yesterday there was a statement released by the presidential library and 12 other presidential foundations basically reiterating the support for democracy, which you would think would be a common baseline. americans have strong interest in supporting democratic movements and respect for human rights around the world because free societies contribute to our own security and prosperity at home but that interest is undermined when others see our own house in disarray. in your current role as ambassador, what do you hear? does it make your job more difficult when you look back at what's happening domestically? >> well, one of the nice things about being an ambassador is to be 7,000 miles away from u.s. politics. there is an old saying that politics stops at the water's edge. that's not completely true, but it largely is. but it is important because the rest of the world looks at us, looks at america for being the model of democracy. and so i hope that we can have -- we have elections coming forward. confident that we will. but it matters around the world because we are looked up to, and rightly so. >> all right. u.s. ambassador to turkey, jeff flake. thank you, sir. >> thank you. growing calls from airline unions for more regulations on cabin temperatures after passengers and flight attendants have increasingly had to wait on planes in the blistering heat with no air-conditioning. a cnn report ahead. .. with features like dssv dampers, mt t tires and an off-road performance display. ♪ when the going gets tough, it's a family you can count on. ♪ introducing the silverado, colorado and silverado hd zr2 family of trucks. i need it cool at night. you trying to ice me out of the bed?
