Police say he tried to grab an officers gun so that he could shoot the Presumptive Republican nominee. Investigators say that he apparently plotted this attack for about a year now. Jeff pegues is following the investigation. Reporter investigators say the suspect had been training at a las vegas gun range in the hours before he was arrested. Authorities say he fired 20 rounds at a target from a 9 millimeter glock pistol before putting his blot plot into motion a day later. I love las vegas reporter the gop presumptive nominee did not know what was really happening in the crowd at this Campaign Stop in las vegas. According to investigators, what appeared to be a disturbance was actually 20yearold Michael Steven sanfords disruptive plot to kill donald trump inside Treasure Island casinos theater. He was quickly rushed away. Thank you. Thank you, officers. Reporter according to court documents, sanford got up from his seat and approached saying he was seeking an autograph from tru trump. He then tried to take the officers weapon by grabbing the holster and handle with both hands. Sanford admit ted to trying to shoot and kill trump, acknowledging he would only be able to fire one to two rounds before being killed by police. This isnt the first threat to trump on the campaign trail. In march a demonstrator was arrested during a rally in dayton, ohio, after he tried to rush the candidate on stage.

Illegally with an expired passport. Hell be in court again early next month. Charlie . Thanks, jeff. Dan senor was an adviser to mitt romney. Were please ed d to have him b at the table. Welcome. Good to be with you. Is this about trump believing he can change his campaign and believing that lewandowski stood in the way . May be what he believes but my sense is, the sense among many republicans, donald trump has a donald trump problem not a Corey Lewandowski problem. If you look at the two elements that are most important in president ial politics, theres the science of the campaign, the operations, the field game, the staff, the coordinating surrogates, the fundraising, and then theres the art. Theres the science and the art, the general performance. In both areas, the science, the operations, have been a disaster. He has few employees. He hasnt been raising money. He has no operations in the field. On the art, the performance, if you look at how hes used the last six weeks its been gaffe after gaffe after selfinflicted wound to selfinflicted wound. The science and the art are failing him. Just a tweak by changing his campaign may not if i can the problem. These are donald trump problems. Thats my question, whether he can do that. Do you think he knows hes in trouble . You hear words like chaos, disarray, hot mess, but does he understand how deep this problem is . I dont know. But my accepts is he has a lot of people telling him he had as a real problem. If you look at the way hes performed in the only over the last year in politics but over his entire career, whether its in book publishing, real estate, tv, every stage of his career hes operated at one speed, high ly rhetoric, someone not showing discipline, working as part of a Massive Organization and has been willing to restrain his rhetoric in order to calm supporters down. What difference do you expect Paul Manafort to make . None. Were three weeks away from the convention. He has three big pivot points, the convention, choosing a vp, and the debates. Were heading into the convention. Theres already a revolt brewing among delegates to dislodge him at the convention. 400 delegates said they will try and dump trump. Right. And theres 1,500 and they think they could get up to half of that quickly. Hillary clinton is going to give a big speech on the economy and try and dismantle this thought that donald trump is an excellent businessman. Could it be tough . Absolutely. There was a ton of Opposition Research during the primary on this, the republican primary opponents never really used it. Ive seen a lot of it. Its powerful. Shell use it to great effect. He has nobody to go on tv and push back. Great to see you. Dan, thank you so much. Dangerous heat is helping to fuel wildfires burning overnight in the western United States. There are fears two growing wildfires could merge. At least 16 wildfires are burning in the west.

A difficult effort to fight the flames. Carter, good morning. Reporter were in the Angeles National forest where firefighters have been battling the flames through the night but its those oppressive triple digit temperatures during the daytime that are making this such a tough fire to fight. These are huge flames. Reporter flames from the fish fire and reservoir fire ate away at tinder dry vegetation monday. Firefighters mounted a strong offense in punishing 100degree heat in order to keep the fires from merging into one massive inferno. Look at that just pouring out of that aircraft right there. And it just goes and goes. Reporter smoke choked the air and became an eerie backdrop to the Downtown Los Angeles skyline. Drivers could see the powering plumes from the freeway. More than 600 homes are under mandatory evacuation. Some had little more than ten minutes notice before they had to get out. Its devastating. Its unbelievable how fast it happens and that it was actually burning against the wind downhill. If this burns the next thing will be mud slides. Reporter Debbie Crawford watched anxiously as the fire flirted with her property line. We live here for a reason. We love these mountains and these hills. When you live some place like this, you have to know theres always that danger. Theres a tradeoff. Reporter as night fell, the flames crept closer. The air assault pressed on and the crew fought the fire from the ground. With this heat and with the fields being so dry, we could have another sparkup a couple miles away. Reporter its still before sunrise and its already pretty warm out here. We expect the triple digit temperatures it to continue at least through today and, of course, that means theres the possibility we could see even more wildfires. Charlie . Carter, thanks. Attorney general Loretta Lynch will travel to florida today for a briefing on the investigation into the orlando nightclub shooting. The fbi yesterday released a time line and tran script of phone calls between the gunman, a hostage negotiator, and emergency dispatchers. David begnaud is in orlando. David, good morning. Reporter charlie, good morning. Our Investigative Team has confirmed the fbi has their hands on a piece of video that shows the killer practicing with an Assault Rifle prior to the attack. Also this morning the fbi is telling us the killer called 911 speaking in a chilling, calm, and deliberate manner. At 2 02 a. M. , the call goes out to police, multiple shots fired at pulse nightclub. The killer was insidearmed with a rifle and a handgun. About six minutes later our officers were within the club within minutes and engaged the suspect in gunfire. Reporter the killer retreated to one of the bathrooms and barp cabath barricaded himself inside with hostages. At 2 35 a. M. He called 911. Im in orlando, he said, and i did the shootings. During the 50second call he also pledged his allegiance to the leader of isis and then hung up. What followed were three conversations with hostage negotiators between 2 48 a. M. And 3 24. The killer claimed to have explosives. There is some vehicle outside that has bombs. He also said he had a vest similar to the kind used in france. Those claims turned out to be false, but by keeping the killer occupied and on the phone, Police Believe lives were saved. During that time our officers were intermittently in and out of that club saving people. Reporter earlier on monday the fbi was criticized by Republican Leaders for releasing a transcript with the shooters pledge to isis redacted. Speaker paul ryan said selectively editing this transcript is preposterous and the public should be cleareyed about who did this. Investigators back tracked releasing the transcript without redactions. By releasing it with redactions at first the Justice Department says they didnt want to create a platform for propaganda but, norah, after being pummeled by reporters and asked why they werent being transparent, the Justice Department within four hours said here is the script unredacted. You guys are creating an unnecessary distraction. Quite a reversal. David, thank you so much. New gun control measures appear unlikely after the senate failed last night to pass four separate bills, each fell short of the 60 votes needed. Democratic party bills called for expanded background checks and banning anyone on a terrorist watch list from buying a gun. The republican versions rerequired people to wait 72 hours. Maine republican Susan Collins is expected to unveil a bipartisan bill today. Hours before the senate votes last night, i interviewed Vice President joe biden. A conversation at the executive Office Building next to the white house was wide ranging. We began with gun control. We have seen in orlando another terrible terrorist attack. In fact, the largest mass killing in americas history. It brings to the fore once again gun control. Are you any more optimistic that at long last some changes may take place . Slightly, charlie, but i do think that at a minimum on matters relating to people on the terrorist watch list being able to purchase a weapon as well as possibly further ba background checks could pass this time. And could it pass a house of representatives . I dont know. All i know is you have to continue to try. It will eventually pass. Some will argue that if someone is intent on doing great vi violence, they will find a gun. Lets assume thats true, okay. Whether they find a gun or they find the equivalent of an an r15 depends on how much damage they can do. Its like you hear if they dont have a gun theyll get a baseball bat or a knife or whatever, well, theyre not going to kill as many people. Theyre not going to get to as many people and if you have multiple rounds and magazines that hold 19 shots and you go boom, boom, boom, boom, as opposed to, you know, like everybody thinks of the western old six shooter you have to take it out and work it, it matters. It matters the amount of carnage that can occur as a consequence of what type of weapon. This is a Political Year and these are political issues. This is what you said in a speech you made several hours earlier. It would tw undermine or seek sound bite solutions in a world of complexity if we forget who we are, betray our values and embrace intolerance we will squander all of our hardearned progress. Most people who heard that thought you were talking about donald trump. Well, donald trump falls into that category, but a lot of other people do as well. But its a voice that is being heard around the world. If we squander the alliance, if we denigrate them, if we go out there and theres 1. 5 billion muslims in the world, if we make the religion the enemy, where do you think were going to get the cooperation . Is that what donald trump is doing in your judgment . Yes. We will have more of our conversation in our next hour. Biden reacts to the extraordinary letter signed by 51 american dip
