statement for fans to be posted in the wake of his death. and what he wrote was that i m sorry. i apologize for not telling you that i was privately battling cancer for the last six years. and some of his friends have now come out and said that he was making his so sad, he was making his rounds of good-byes and calling people on the phone last week to tell them that he had been sick and people are now coming out who were close and sharing those last conversations now. wow. we ll always have both of their work to remember them by. chloe, thank you. you re welcome. thanks. cnn this morning continues right now. trump is predicting that his next indictment is imminent, any day now is the way he worded it in a new post on social media. surveillance footage was actually only obtained in recent
weeks. and in georgia, the county judge just rejected efforts by trump s legal team to toss evidence in that criminal investigation. we re ready to go. the work is accomplished. the former business associate of hunter biden s testified before a closed door congressional hearing. devin archer said that hunter biden sold the, quote, illusion of access to his father. everyday this bribery scandal becomes more credible. there s a lot of smoke and where there s smoke there s fire. there s no evidence linking joe biden to anything related to hunter biden. russian officials are accusing ukraine of launching a new wave of drone strikes in moscow. one crashed into a high-rise tower. ukraine is getting stronger, gradually the war is returning to the territory of russia. quite why the russians are fighting so hard for here is that these are their last lines of defense? well, no. they think there s far more fighting to be done. the wife of suspected serial killer rex heuerman
federal court. swing back to the mar-a-lago case. obviously we saw the de oliveira arraignment yesterday. the surveillance video now in the hands of the prosecution of trump s defense lawyers. what s your sense of what that footage actually contains? could that be damning to the former president and his codefendants? it could be. but we have to see exactly what is revealed at the trial if these particular charges do end up going to trial as they re charged now. so carlos de oliveira and walt nauta the other codefendant are accused along with donald trump of trying to talk about and get rid of surveillance footage. not that any surveillance footage that the trump organization had of that property was actually deleted, but they re charged with wanting to try and take steps to get rid of it because it very well may have captured them moving boxes that had federal records in them when the justice department was seeking to get those returned. and that surveillance footage, that s only o
