we begin on capitol hill here the house is expected to vote today on a resolution to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt of congress for refusing to hand over video tapes of an interview with president biden. this comes before one day when president trump is set to head to congress for meetings, including senator mitchell mcconnell. joining us now is ali vitali. does this have any change of passing? >> reporter: house republicans say it does. two house committees, oversight and judiciary, passed this contempt referral out of their committees and left it open to leadership to bring to the house floor. there was a lot of pressure being applied on house republican leadership, including speaker mike johnson, to do that. there were some moderate republicans who were reluctant to vote for this. though it seems based on the conversations that leadership had with reporters that they have their ducks in a row and have the votes needed to hold the attorney general in contempt. what we're watching on the house floor now has nothing to do with that. what will come next will be a vote on the rule that has in part something to do with allowing them to get on to the vote on the contempt referral of the attorney general. look, even if it passes the house, which we have seen the house be able to do in the past when it comes to attorneys general, specifically i'm thinking about eric holder during the obama administration and then of course bill barr during the trump administration, having the doj prosecute the head of it is certainly something we've never seen before and do not expect to happen now. >> meanwhile, tomorrow's visit by trump will be the first on capitol hill since his conviction. what's he going to be doing there? >> reporter: meeting with republicans on the house side and senate side. we've asked several republicans what they want to hear from him. listen to what chip roy said. roy backed desantis during the primary. watch. >> i want to hear him giving direction about where we're headed, the agenda for the american people struggling with inflation, can't afford houses, can't afford food. go through their hard working days and lives. i think we'll hear the president talk about those issues and number one securing the border of the united states when this president won't. >> reporter: you should look at trump's visit as republicans falling in line, despite the legal troubles, despite the primary, despite any concerns they have about trump at the top of the ticket. the majority of republicans are with him. they're forcefully behind him. we'll see that tomorrow. it's only underscored by the fact that senator mitch mcconnell will be in that meeting. he's not a fan of the former president and told us they haven't spoken since after the 2020 that trump lost. the fact that mcconnell will be in that room says all you need to know about the state of the republican as it relates to their likely nominee. >> ali vitali on capitol hill, thank you. 24 hours after hunter biden's conviction the first family is looking ahead to another challenge. hunter faces nine counts of tax evasion and he's set to go on trial in september. he's awaiting a sentencing date for yesterday's verdict. the three counts carry up to 25 years in prison. after his son's conviction, president biden changed his plans and went to wilmington. we're hearing from the jurors who deliberated. one of them telling nbc news politics stayed out of the decision making. >> for us it wasn't politically motivated. politics never played in anything we said in the jury room. >> joining us now nbc news white house correspondent mike memoli and david marcus. mike, what's the reaction from the first family 24 hours after the conviction? >> reporter: it was exactly 24 hours ago we were on the air as we learned there was a verdict and the verdict came. we saw biden family members racing to the courthouse to be there with him. 24 hours later the family is taking stock of what's happened. the president is on his way to the g7 summit. it was important, i was told by sources close to the family, for him to spend that small amount of time yesterday on the tarmac here in delaware with his son. they had been in touch by phone and text messages, but they needed to see each other for that emotional support for one another before they headed on a plane to different directions. we know that the family, as brave as the faces they put on, for all the talk about rallying around and supporting one another, they know the road only maybe gets more difficult moving ahead. we know there's another trial in september on tax evasion charges. for all the difficult personal information that was put out during the course of this last trial, it may get more salacious in that september trial. we know the politics change significantly here as well. republicans had held their fire during the gun-related trial because of the addiction dynamic. so many americans know family members suffering from addiction. we saw the statements coming out from republicans talking about the biden crime family. they think this trial in september gives them entree to talk about finances and business relationships. this is a family that's going to support one another but knowing the road ahead gets more difficult. >> david, let's talk about that unusual nature of this case and what it may or may not have ties with the case coming up in september. >> sure. thanks, jose. the biden family has handled this with such class, the way they've handled the case. that's important because he would not have been prosecuted, hunter biden, if his last name was not biden. these cases, addicts in possession of a firearm are almost never prosecuted. the fact they went after this, especially after they had a plea deal. neither the prosecutors nor the defense wanted to have a trial in this case. they reached an agreement. the judge wouldn't take it. >> david, that plea deal and the nature of that plea deal was also pointed out by the judge extraordinarily unusual. >> it was because the charges themselves were unusual. the parties said these charges are typically not brought. we'll work out a diversion agreement, which happens rarely in federal court, but it does happen. less usual the bringing these charges and going to trial. you saw how the first family handled it, which was with class. >> david, hunter biden faces up to 25 years in prison. >> he does based on the maximum sentence. he's going to get probation. >> what does the judge have as far as options? >> the judge can go probation up to 25 years. 25 years isn't going to happen. i don't think jail is going to happen. i think it's a probationary case. there was no harm done to anybody. the gun was locked in a box. these charges are brought when somebody commits a robbery or to prohibit harm. nothing happened here. >> then it was put in a garbage bin, which thank god nothing happened. >> his wife put it in the garbage, not him. she got rid of it. i would be shocked if he got any jail time. >> let's talk about the nine counts of tax evasion set to go in september. >> that's a much more serious case. it will be interesting to see how it plays out, whether there's a deal struck or whether it goes to trial. there's big incentives for both sides to work that out. 97% of federal cases work out and don't go to trial. it will be interesting to see if we're ping ponging back between trump and biden trials. >> mike memoli and david marcus, thank you. one person dead after a man hijacks a bus in atlanta taking police on a high-speed chase. plus, today marks 250 days since the start of the israel/hamas war. could a cease-fire be in sight?

>> reporter: law enforcement responded to reports of gunfire of a bunch. the suspect held a gun to the driver's head and told the driver to drive. the driver took off for several miles, sometimes driving in the wrong direction of traffic. at several points police attempted to stop the bus, even throwing something in front of the bus to try to deflate the tires. that didn't work. as you can see from video, this was all captured by news choppers and broadcast on live tv. one of the passengers on the bus called her husband and told him what was happening. he told her to hang up the phone. he was worried the gunman would see she was on the phone and assume she was talking to 911. eventually law enforcement was able to stop the bus with a bearcat vehicle. when they approached, they discovered one of the passengers had in fact been thought. that person was rushed to a nearby hospital where they were pronounced dead. we don't have anymore information about the victim, but we learned that the suspect is 39-year-old joseph greer. he's a convicted felon. authorities say he wasn't legally allowed to have a handgun and had been arrested 19 previous times. today we're hearing from some of those passengers who were on the bus. as you can imagine, they were incredibly traumatized and reporters asked them would you ever ride on a bus again? they said certainly not this week, jose. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. more evidence that inflation is continuing to cool. the new consumer price index report which measures the prices of goods and services across the economy was unchanged last month. prices are still 3.3% higher than they were a year ago. gas prices fell more than 3.5%. prices for food away from home, used cars and trucks, shelter and medical care all rose last month. the report comes hours before the federal reserve is expected to announce what it plans to do with interest rates. up next, gaza's few remaining hospitals are in danger of closing. our next guest is a u.s. doctor recently trapped in gaza while volunteering there. we'll ask him about what he witnessed firsthand. vandals deface the homes of several jewish leaders who work at the brooklyn museum. police say similar incidents have been happening across the entire city. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. s to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast. you know, these kids grow so fast, cherish every little moment you get with them. tyler, he's ten, and little dayrl, he's 12. being a single dad, it is hard. really hard. i've been there since day one. i know how it is, you know, not to have nothing. i don't really get paid much. there's been times i've went hungry, made sure they ate. there ain't a thing i wouldn't do for 'em. millions of children are facing hunger. rising food prices are making it tougher to put food on the table. call or go online right now to join feeding america with your gift of just $19 a month, only $0.63 a day. together, thanks to a nationwide network of food banks, dedicated volunteers and the monthly support of people like you. we can fill plates with nutritious food for kids facing hunger this summer. at least now i know i got to, you know, help if i need it. one in five kids face hunger in america and food costs are rising. we are getting closer to the day when no one in america faces hunger. but we can't do it without you. call or go online now. visit helpfeedingamerica.org and give $19 a month. just $0.63 a day. 98% of donations go directly to help millions of children facing hunger from coast to coast and in your own community. and when you use your credit card, you'll receive this exclusive canvas grocery bag to show you're a part of a movement working together to ensure that everyone has the food and resources we all need to thrive. if you're hungry, you know, if they got it feed you. people just got to realize, you know, places like this do exist, they will help you. please call now or make your monthly donation at helpfeedingamerica.org. working together, we can end hunger in america. want to save on some of the biggest names in streaming on helpfeedingamerica.org. the network made for streaming?

>> reporter: well, it sounds as though the peace deal is closer to being realized than we saw in november. talking about this two days ago, it looked like these two sides were further apart than after. after the resignation of benny gantz who was considered a moderate, after those hostages being rescued in the gaza strip, it looked like these two sides were further apart than ever. now it looks like we're seeing some kind of agreement, some tenuous steps to what could lead to a cease-fire temporary and what could lead to a permanent cease-fire. that's what was in the document presented to the u.n. security council. with all the pressure brought to bare by the international community and the biden administration who have been pushing this for the last two weeks -- on may 31st biden said this is israel's plan. this is a plan they presented and they agreed to it. that language was already in the u.n. resolution passed by the security council. now, when we talk about whether or not hamas is going to agree, the -- the israelis have walked that back on may 31st. biden said they already agreed. we heard from netanyahu after that. he said he was walking back the idea that they exceeded the document. now we're taking for granted the israelis have agreed to this, but we haven't heard from them directly. blinken would know. he was party to those meetings. we haven't heard a resolute answer from the israelis they they accepted the deal. the two sides are closer to a deal and that's a great relief to the families of hostages protesting here. it's put enormous pressure on benjamin netanyahu and his allies. it's going to be enormous relief to the palestinians still in the gaza strip suffering and dying, now to the tune of 37,000 people that the gaza foreign ministry says has been killed. >> matt bradley, thank you. without a cease-fire deal in place, the humanitarian crisis in gaza continues to spiral. half the population of gaza are expected to face starvation and death by the middle of july, according to the u.n. joining us now is a surgeon who volunteered at a hospital in gaza last month. he just got back recently. doctor, thank you for your time. you just got back from gaza three weeks ago. what was your experience there? >> thank you very much for having me. my experience there, i mean, it was very intense. one thing that -- as we left, you know, the situation was dire in terms of, you know, medical supplies, medical equipment. the people had -- you know, were suffering from extensive mall nutrition. things have gotten worse since i left. >> who do you have contact with in gaza today? >> i'm in contact with some of the physicians that were there that i was working with and the staff that worked in the hospital. they're basically telling me about, you know, what their experience in terms of the casualties that have come the last few days and the intense bombings they're experiencing. we have brought in some anesthesia medications when we went as a team. that has all run out. they are basically saying they need anesthetics. they're doing surgery with no anesthesia. every time they have a team go in, we're carrying our own supplies. they're not getting anything besides that in terms of medications, antibiotics and without that open corridor, you know, not only is the casualties worse, but when they come in a lot of these patients that survive the initial assault, they end up dying over the next days or weeks because they don't have the proper, you know, resources to keep them -- keep them alive and save them. >> doctor, in your experience, many of the victims that you treated, were they men, women, children, all kinds, more one than the other? >> they were families. with families we were seeing really more than 50% were children. i would say 60 to 70% of the patients i took care of were somewhere between the ages of 5 and 12 or 13. i took care of a lot of children. they came in as families. you know, their parents came in. a lot of women came in. these were attacks that happened often at night while they were sleeping in their homes. their neighbors came in. these were primarily civilians that i took care of. you know, and we're making the assumption that every male could possibly not be a civilian. i didn't see any signs of, like, anyone being a combatant at all. everyone came in as families and, again, lots of children. lots of amputations, shredded children from blast injuries, lots of burns. much more burns than i'm familiar with seeing with these type of injuries also. these bombs that are being laid down have a high, like, you know, a high in sid air -- a lot of burns. >> senator tammy duckworth credited you with having saved her life 20 years ago. she was wounded in iraq. you have a lot of experience in trauma and warfare. how do you compare your experiences in iraq to the ones you had in gaza? >> it's really unfortunate because what i'm seeing is, you know, the injuries are a lot more intense. you know, i think the weapons that are being used with these giant bombs dropped on civilian structures are causing a lot more damage. i'm seeing a lot more children. we were working with a lot less resources. if senator duckworth went through this process in gaza right now or anyone else, i don't think they would have survived. there's just not the resources there to kind of do the proper care. and the children, they're small. they're fragile, suffering from malnutrition and they often don
