Intimate relationship with two dangerous killers and shares exactly how she helped them escape. Donald trump on the record on cnn about an aids controversial comments about rape. That is coming up. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to early start. Im john berman. Christine romans is off today. Its wednesday, 5 00 a. M. July 29th. The two missing 14yearolds missing at sea is entering its sixth day. The coast guard has expanded the search area and 41,000 square miles, the size of ohio. The boyss boat counseled capsized sunday. Cohens mother tells kate bolduan they are still alive. We know the courage and skills that they have and we know how athletically fit and able they are. Both of our boys learned how to swim before they learned how to walk, so we just feel very, very confident that they will be able to stick through this. They know that we are coming for them and we will get them. Lets get the latest from cnns Martin Savidge who is in florida. Reporter good morning, john. The coast guard has just completed its fifth night of searching for these two missing florida teens and the search area goes all the way up to the coast of south carolina. The question now becomes how long is this search going to actually continue on . The coast guard admits they are at that point of discussing about possibly bringing it to a close. They havent admitted it yet, but they are talking about it, maybe because what they have always said is a person could last four to five days in the water given the conditions, and we are at that point. The thing is the coast guard doesnt know when the boys ended up in the water. Their boat was found sunday. That is why the definitive line is a little bit fuzzy here, but they admit that the time is running out. Meanwhile, the family is trying to, as best they can, to prepare for that moment. In fact, they have a go fund me account that has raised over a hundred thousand dollars, which will be used to fund their own private search. Its one thing to be ready to carry on the search. Its another thing to be ready to carry that emotional burden when an official comes to you and says, there is no more hope. John . New details this morning in the new york state prison breakout. The woman who helped richard matt and david sweat escape plead guilty to charges that could bring her up to seven years in prison. 51yearold prison tailor Joyce Mitchell accepted a plea deal that avoids her the conspiracy to kill her husband. Joyce mitchells lawyers says she denies she was in a plot to kill her husband and her husband is standing behind her and throwing some harsh words at the media. Reporter are you standing by her . 100 . Reporter why . Because i love her. You guys are printing lies. Reporter what kind of lies . I have nothing to say to you. Reporter what kind of lies do you think we printed . Do you think the plea was a good idea . Cnns Alexander Field was the latest. Reporter Joyce Mitchell was tearful in the courtroom as she accepted responsibility for her role in the escape, pleading guilty to two different counts. At the same time, we are learning new details from her confession to police. She has admitted to putting hacksaw blades into the hamburger meat which was passed to the inmates, but days after the escape, she told investigators she was aware the two men were plotting to break out for two to four weeks before they managed to pull off that escape. She also went into graphic detail about her relationships with both of the men, saying that she would write sexual letters to david sweat and take naked pictures of herself. She says there was no sexual contact with sweat but that matt, one day, kissed her, taking her by surprise, and other sexual encounters followed. She says matt was the one who plotted to kill her husband lyle. She was asked to drive the getaway car after the men broke out of the prison and she was told by them to bring a hatchet, a shotgun, and other provisions. Apparently, the two inmates told joyce they would all drive six or seven hours into the woods somewhere and hunker down for a week and then richard matt would split off and joyce mitch and david sweat would be left together, but mitchell told police she couldnt follow through with the plan ultimately because she loved her husband too much. Lyle mitchell was in the courtroom as joyce accepted that plea deal. This plea deal protects her from having the District Attorney pursue additional charges against her based on those sexual allegations and also the conspiracy to murder her husband. Joyce will be formally sentenced in september. John . Alexander field, thanks so much. Donald trump is standing by his man, even while creating some distance between himself and one of his special counsel, Michael Cohen who triggered an uproar when he told a daily beast reporter you cannot rape your spouse. Cohen has since apologized for the remark and trump tells cnns don lemon, the matter is closed. Do you still stand by Michael Cohen . No. You have to understand, michael was extremely angry because he knew it never took place and he knew this website was a joke, considered a joke. He was angry and maybe he didnt understand the question but, no, i dont disagreed with him. In fact, when i read it i disagreed. Who knows what he said because, frankly, im not sure they reported accurately but assuming he said it, no, i disagree with that. Youre not going to fire him or get rid of him . No, im not. He was very angry because they issued a false story to get publicity for themselves and to try to make themselves relevant, which they are not. People have been fired all over the place from that one. And others are failing in that world. A lot of them are failing but this one is a particularly bad one. A lot of money was spent on it and its been a disaster, and he knew that and he said to them, you know, youre doing the wrong thing. You do this, youre doing the wrong thing. So what happened is he probably got angry. No, i disagree with him. In fact, when i first saw it, i said, wow, you know, its something i disagree with, but thats the way it is. You know, he is speaking for himself. He is not speaking for me, obviously. Cohen says his comments were inarticulate and admits the reporters questions sent him into a tailspin. A tight political space for Hillary Clinton this morning. She is refusing to take a position on the keystone oil pipeline. The democratic frontrunner has never publicly stated whether she favors opposes the construction of the 1,200 pipeline stretching from canada to the gulf. She was asked by a reporter about it and later, she explained why. I was the secretary of state who started that process. I was the one who put into place the investigation. I have now passed it off as obvious because im no longer there to secretary kerry. This is president obamas decision and i am not going to secondguess him. Democratic rival Bernie Sanders told reporters it is hard to understand how clinton is so concerned about Climate Change but not opposed to the keystone pipeline. Sanders is against it.

Michigan levin who is a staunch reporter of israeli. Levin announces he supports the iran deal. A meeting called by turkey with a broad statement against turkey. Turkey sought the meeting saying it faces increased security threats. Arwa damon joins us live from is istanbul. Turkey getting involved in this is a big deal. Reporter it is. Its not necessarily a gamechanger when 2 comesit comes to the broader war against isis. It is for turkey getting for the first time actively involved in air strikes against isis targets inside syria. And this makes turkey quite vulnerable to retaliatory attacks especially if we take a look what happened last monday with the suicide bombing that killed 32 people in that border town. Turkey has also reopened its front line with another group that it at least considers to be a terrorist organization and that is the kurd workers and going after their targets in Northern Iraq where they have hidden camps in the mountains, but also going after them in turkeys own borders. We have over the last few days seen clashes breaking out and seen precision attacks being carried out by the pkk against members of the Turkish Security forces. This nato meeting really an opportunity for turkey to one, ensure it has the full backing of nato and the allies but also to present them with its own plan moving forward and to elude to something that we heard the turkish president say and that is that they want nato to be prepared for any eventuality, in other words, should turkey be requesting additional military significance but it seems a significant shift, a realization that trying to sit this out on the sidelines was not working out in turkeys favor and to maintain its political relevance in the region to make sure it has the support it needs to get actively involved in the antiisis coalition. John . In fact there is no sideline when its seeping over the southern border. Arwa damon in istanbul thanks so much. Alison how are stocks doing right now .
