does join us. amtrak workers are not involved, but many of the amtrak rails are owned by those freight railroad companies. this news was just announced moments ago in a statement. amtrak said started thursday it would cancel all long distance trains. as you mentioned, that is to avoid possible passenger disruptions while en route. obviously both sides are still negotiating and trying to reach an agreement before friday. it s not only the amtrak lines that will be impacted. for example, here in chicago already at least nine of the 11 metro lines have been suspended due to this possible strike. one travel expert who we heard from says this will be more if that strike happens than a travel nightmare. listen in. it s really going to bottle up the freight system. we have supply chain problems already. the ports are clogged. you throw in a rail strike and tens of thousands of containers can t get to where they want to go. that affects stores in our everyday lives. if this hap
mar-a-lago. and we re keep ing an eye o flooding in the southwestern u.s. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom, with kim brunhuber. the biden white house is officially hands off regarding last week s fbi search of donald trump s mar-a-lago residence. it turned up 11 sets of classified material, including some with the highest secrecy. privately, some white house officials admit they re worried about what other sensitive docu might be out there. as jessica schneider reports, the department of justice is pushing back. reporter: prosecutors have less than one week to submit proposed redactions to the judge so he can decide what might be released publicly. it will likely be a tall task for this department of justice. they have said repeatedly that any retaxedactions they would propose it would make the affidavit devoid of content. regardless, the judge wants their recommendation business next thursday at noon, and he might have additional conversations with the do
as a potential subject of this criminal probe. this is one of the documents right here. and there is specific language in here about willful retention of documents. in other words, they say, he knew he had them and knew what they were. this is all part of the argument over whether it will release the affidavit justifying the search of mar-a-lago. prosecutors made the case for secrecy because they say evidence may be destroyed. but the judge did set in motion the possibility of releasing a redacted version of the affidavit, a process that could get into gear next week. and ludicrous, ridiculous, bs, those words coming from several former trump officials who are scoffing at the former president and his allies arguments that he had a standing order to declassify documents he took from the white house. cnn reached out to 18 officials and all of them told us they never heard any such thing. we ll have more on that in a moment. first, let s bring in katelyn polantz with more on
information, which suggests officials believe trump knew he had classified documents and released allegedly intentionally did not return them. justice department prosecutors made the case for secrecy warning, quote, evidence might be destroyed. even saying the affidavit would provide a road map as well to the investigation. that does not appear to be resonating with the judge, who set in motion the possibility at least of releasing a redacted version of that affidavit, something that could happen as early as next week. and in a cnn exclusive report, some former trump allies are calling the president s claims that he had a standing order to declassify documents, quote, i ll paraphrase, bs. cnn watched out to 18 former top administration officials from the trump years and all of them told us they never heard of any such order, issued during their time, in the trump administration. but, first, a critical deadline for fulton county, georgia, prosecutors, just expired. they had un
companies whose platforms these extremists are using. sending letters to meta, tiktok, donald trump s true social. the deadline is september 2nd. lawmakers give examples of what law enforcement agents are facing, including this from a pennsylvania man who was arrested for posting online quote if you work for the fbi, then you deserve to die. let s turn now to cnn washington correspondent sunlen serfaty. what exactly does the house oversight committee want these firms to do. reporter: they essentially want data and details in how they re responding to online threats, and very interesting, they certainly use very specific examples that they ve seen on social media recently. that s certainly a powerful effect here of making the point that this has become a problem, and certainly this is in response to the fbi search at trump s mar-a-lago saying that there has been an uptick in violent social media threats against law enforcement. now, this was sent to the eight executives of
