Time. Mr. Trump revealing he interviewed more contenders today but tonight the white house is refusing to name names or talk about the possibility that the president s pick would vote to overturn roe v. Wade. This as the white house also is dodging questions about new hints about Michael Cohen that he may be turning on the president. Cohen also promising to eventually reveal more about mr. Trumps role in the hush money payoff to Stormy Daniels. This hour ill talk with daniels lawyer michael avenatti. Our correspondents and analysts are also standing by. First to jeff zeleny. The president is promising to reveal his High Court Pick next week. And it could very well be a woman, it sounds like. That certainly is one possibility. Im told by people close to the process that the president is increasingly intrigued at the idea of appointing what he believes would be the first truly conservative female Supreme Court justice. He did reveal today that he interviewed four people here at the white house in secret. This morning he plans to interview more later this week. But the idea of picking a woman im told he is intrigued by. He believes it would be a conservative answer to what liberals are calling the year of the woman. I think the person that is chosen will be outstanding. Reporter President Trump closing in tonight on a selection for the Supreme Court. With the big reveal one week away. I interviewed and met with four potential justices of our great Supreme Court. They are outstanding people. They are really incredible people in so many different ways, academically and every other way. Reporter less than a week after Justice Kennedy announced his retirement, the president is teasing when hell fill the vacancy, building suspense for the summers most anticipated announcement. Well be announcing it on monday. Ill be announcing that on monday. Monday. Reporter its a choice that will fundamentally reshape the direction of the court. With trump pledging to give it a firm conservative imprint. The president is openly discussing the advantages of nominating a female conservative Supreme Court justice. Three people close to the search say the president likes the idea of making such an historic choice during an election season already being dubbed the year of the woman. Ill be meet with two or three more n well make a decision on the United StatesSupreme Court. The new justice. That will be made over the next few days. Reporter one leading contender is believed to be amy coney barrett, a catholic and mother of seven. Shes thought to be one of two women among the half dozen finalists for the kennedy seat. Its never appropriate for a judge to impose that judges persons conviction. Reporter a senate narrowly confirmed her to the bench last fall. You are controversial. Lets start with that. And it leaves me a bit puzzled because you have a long history of believing that your religious beliefs should prevail. Reporter cnn has learned the president told advisers he believes a female nominee could be more appealing to Lisa Murkowski and susan collins. Two pivotal republicans who support abortion rights. Even though they lack enough votes in the senate, democrats are vowing a fight. A new liberal group called demand justice announced plans to build 5 million to fight for the Supreme Court seat focussing on alaska and maine, home of the two senators. On cnns state of the union, collins making clear abortion rights, which she believes is settled law, is key to her decision. I would not support a nominee who demonstrated hostility to roe v. Wade because that would mean to me that their judicial philosophy did not include a respect for established decisions, established law. Reporter at the white house today, press secretary Sarah Sanders declined to answer specific questions on roe vs. Wade or other hot button issues the court could rule on. As the president said last week, hes not going to talk to judges about specific cases. Hes looking for individuals that have the right intellect, the right temperament and will uphold the constitution. Reporter in his bid for the white house, overturning the landmark abortion ruling was a central promise from trump and mike pence. We appoint strict constructists to the Supreme Court as donald trump intends to do, i believe well see roe vs. Wade consigned to the ash heap of history. Reporter today sanders declined to answer repeated questions about abortion rights or how the issue would factor into the Supreme Court pick. The president is pro life but in terms of the process of selecting a Supreme Court nominee as the president said last week, hes not going to discuss specific cases. Reporter so the president certainly taking a very disciplined approach to this saying hes not going to discuss specific cases. Of course, theres little question that any of the judges, the 25 who are on that overall list of what their views are. The reason theyre on the list in the first place is, of course, because the federalist society, a conservative group here in washington, made that list and has been working with the white house for a long time. So thats the president saying hes not asking them directly about individual cases. That has already been done in many respects. At this point it seems the president is trying to get a sense of what they would be like, what his rapport is with them. And as we saw a year ago in his first pick for the Supreme Court, neil gorsuch, he likes optics. He likes the image of this. Its one of the reasons hes building it up to next weeks announcement in prime time monday night. The president says hell make his decision later this week but is going to reveal it next monday on july 9th before leaving for a foreign trip. Hes scheduled to meet with at least two more as the week goes on. Jim . Another reality tv moment in this presidency. Jeff zeleny, thank you very much. Now to Michael Cohen, speaking out, declaring his loyalty to his country and his family come before President Trump. A wellconnected source tells me cohen is trying to publicly explain and justify why he will turn against the president. The white house is refusing to comment on cohens plans saying those questions should go to an outside attorney. Also refusing to talk about that interview on abc. Lets go to cnns National Correspondent brin gingras. Hes dropped multiple hints hes ready to flip. Friends of Michael Cohens say theyve been encouraging him to speak up to get his side of the story out there. While in this abc interview he doesnt give details about the information he has that may help investigators, hes pretty clear that hes willing to help. Hell do it for his family, and he wants to restore his reputation. How your with the new lawyers . Are you hope . Reporter Michael Cohen breaking his silence. In an interview with abc, trumps selfproclaimed fxer, a man who has said hed take a bullet for donald trump ill do anything to protect mr. Trump. Reporter is now making clear who his allegiance is to. To be crystal clear, my wife, my daughter and my son and this country have my first loyalty. In a 45minute offcamera interview, abc says not once did cohen praise his former boss. Instead he signaled that if he faces federal criminal charges, he would cooperate. Possibly offering information on the president. Something trump told reporters he wasnt worried about just weeks ago. Want to know if youre worried if hes going to cooperate with federal no, im not worried because i did nothing wrong. Reporter after an fbi raid earlier this year which seized more than 4 million documents from cohen, cnn has learned that u. S. Attorneys in manhattan are interested in his 130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Daniels claims she had an affair with the president which trump denies. In the past, cohen says he facilitated the hush money alone. Did you know about the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels . No. Reporter but when asked directly in this interview about what the president knew about the payment, cohen declined to answer. Quote, i want to answer. One day i will answer. But for now, i cant comment furth or advice of my counsel. That new counsel is guy patrillo, a former Criminal Division chief for the Southern District of new york. He is expected to take the reins as cohens lead attorney by the end of this week. Its a shift in legal strategy that could signal cohens willingness to cooperate with investigators. According to abc, that means a joint Defense Agreement between cohen and the president which allowed both sides to share information could end. This strikingly similar to actions former National Security adviser Michael Flynn took shortly before he flipped. When asked if cohen worries, he may be on the brink of an adversarial relationship with the president , he firmly said, quote, i will not be a punching back as anyones defense strategy. I am not a villain of this story and i will not allow others to depict me that way. He also touched on the russia investigation telling abc hes not been interviewed by muellers team yet but would be willing and has provided documents to their case. Cohen disagreed with trumps assertion that its a witch hunt telling abc, i dont like the term witch hunt. As an american, i repudiate russias or any other foreign governments attempt to interfere or meddle in our democratic process, and i would call on all americans to do the same. He praised the fbi calling authorities courteous and professional when conducting the april raids. I dont agree with those who demonize or vilify the fbi. I respect the fbi as an institution, as well as their agents. After months of staying mostly quiet, cohen still shied away from sharing what valuable information he may or may not have to any investigation. But he was clear on why hes speaking out now. Quote, i want to regain my name and my reputation and my life back, he said. Remember, cohen hasnt been charged with a crime but that review of documents over privileged concerns is really nearing completion. Just today the special master assigned in the case handed over 1 million pieces of evidence taken in the april raid to the government. And come thursday, the Trump Organization needs to have its review finished. This all signaling, jim, if he is going to be charged, it would happen in the near future. Brynn gingras, thank you. Joining me now, Stormy Daniels attorney michael avenatti. Thank you for joining us. Does it look like to you that Michael Cohen is ready to turn on the president . What do you think is going on here . Well, jim, i think i was the first one to publicly predict that ultimately hed flip on the president. I started making those predictions in early problem before the fbi raids. That ultimately will prove to be true. But let me just say this. I think Michael Cohen is playing a game right now. I think hes playing a game with the American People at the same time hes trying to send a message to the president in a lastditch effort to get some support in the way of legal fees and otherwise. The bottom line is as follows. Theres nothing stopping Michael Cohen from publicly disclosing what he knows to the American People. Youre either on the side of truth and disclosure or on the side of donald trump when it comes to this. Theres no middle ground. Yet thats exactly what hes trying to do. Hes trying walk this tight rope between those two competing principles. I think its offensive to people. Its offensive to me and offensive to the American People. Theres nothing stopping Michael Cohen from coming clean right now and disclosing what he knows about mr. Trumps involvement with russia and otherwise and what he knows generally relating to mr. Trump and potential criminal liability. He does not have to wait for people to come knocking. He does not have to be arrested for that to happen. If hes waiting for that, and i think, in fact, he said that during the interview, that hes going to wait and see what the charges are before he comes clean, that tells you everything you need to know. If hes ultimately not charged, hes not going to tell the truth . What information do you think he has . And the other thing thats interesting is he did say this morning hes putting his country and family ahead of the president. What do you make of that, and what information do you think he has . You said he could talk now, know what he thinks happened right now. What can he say . I think he has a considerably amount of information not only relating to this 130,000 payment to my client and the coverup associated with it. I think he knows a lot about the payment to ms. Bruchard. And a lot of information relating to where the bodies are buried. This was a guy at the right hand of the president for the better part of 12 years. That the president trusted his inner most secrets to. And this whole idea and all of this talk of love of country, et cetera, it doesnt ring true with me because if it was accurate, he would be doing the right thing right now. He would not have to wait to be arrested. Reporters for buzzfeed say theyve obtained documents recovered from Michael Cohens shredder. You previously tweeted those documents could be a huge problem for cohen and the president. Did you see any damning evidence in this buzzfeed report and in the shredded documents . I havent reviewed the report in detail. I saw some reference to one of the payments we previously reported. I think a 62,500 payment relating to the settlement. Ive not had occasion to review those documents in rede tail. I dont know how buzzfeed obtained them. Id have to reserve comment until i review the documents. Prosecutors may have some of these documents that are in that buzzfeed report but you said that President Trump wont finish his first term in office. Why are you so confident that this scandal is going to bring him down, michael . Because i think he trusted his inner most secrets to Michael Cohen, and i have serious doubts relating to Michael Cohens competency, as well as his ability to withstand pressure. That was a critical error in judgment by trump. Another critical error in judgment when he did not keep this guy in the tent over the last 18 months. Hes ostracized him and put him on an island which in and of itself was very stupid from a strategic standpoint to do that. And ultimately, jim, Michael Cohen has a lot of very damaging information about the president. And i think this has been mishandled by the president for some time, like so many other things that weve seen. And sooner or later, this stuff catches up to you. Michael cohen is asking the judge to issue a gag order against you in the civil case against him in california. He referred to you as a small town carnival magician and says your frequent media appearances are intended to taint the jury pool. Whats your response to that charge . Well, you know, i grew up in st. Louis. I dont know that id describe that as a small town. Maybe not big city but not a small town. I think these allegations are baseless. I think they wreak of desperation. They want to talk about anything other than the facts and the evidence, were going to continue to talk about the facts and the evidence until im ordered otherwise. Does it sound like Michael Cohen is on the ropes to you . I think hes been on the ropes for some time and im going to do everything in my power to keep him there. All right, michael avenatti, thank you very much. We appreciate you joining us. More on the message for Michael Cohen and what he might reveal if he cooperates with investigators and flips on the president. Joaquin castro will join us.

Were back with breaking news on Michael Cohens new interview declaring his loyalty to his family and country. The white house refusing to comment. Michael avenatti just had plenty to say moments ago. Joining me, congressman joaquin castro, a democrat. Thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. Do you think Michael Cohen has valuable information to offer federal prosecutors . Is that what youre reading from what were seeing from Michael Cohen today . Yeah, im almost certain that he does. Not only as it relates to the one episode with Stormy Daniels and where exactly the money came from, whether it was campaign money, personal money, business money, charity money, wherever donald trump may have gotten that money from but also on that same front, whether there were other payments made in similar situations that could subject donald trump to some kind of tax fraud liability, for example. Not just those issues but also on other Business Issues regarding mr. Trumps real estate deals, for example. And the special counsels team still has not interviewed Michael Cohen. Do you think that will change if he ends up cooperate with prosecutors in the Southern District of new york . I would be very surprised if the special counsels investigation finishes up and they have not thoroughly interviewed Michael Cohen to figure out exactly what he knows about all of about money laundering, about any kind of collusion with russia and other matters. And do you think this is trouble for the president . Michael cohen sending up these flares this morning that he puts country and family before President Trump . Made a number of statements that sound as if hes putting some distance between himself and the president. Jim, ive tried to think back on the interview that the House Intelligence Committee had with Michael Cohen and square that with where he seems to be now. And it seems like there is this arc of acceptance and resignation on his part that he may have to actually turn on the president to protect himself and his familys future. We had the interview months back, he was not one of the more combative witnesses. Not like Corey Lewandowski who basically cursed out the committee or even eric prince who went in there and was very brash with the committee. Mr. Cohens lawyer at the time, i think it was steven ryan, was fairly combative early on in the interview. But Michael Cohen himself was not especially forceful, i didnt think, in how he approached this. So it didnt surprise me is what im saying now that he may be accepting that hes going to have to protect himself and his family first. Lets turn to immigration and the aftershocks of the president s controversial family separation policy down on the border. There are so many kids that have not been reunited with their parents. Do you think the inauguratiadmi is taking this seriously and are you getting the information in terms of how these kids are doing, how are they getting back with their parents and so on . No, we havent. Congress has not gotten a clear answer on whether there was any comprehensive accounting or list kept of the honor who were separated from their parents with exact names and information containing the whereabouts of each of the kids and the parents. We still dont have a comprehensive list like that. I know there was testimony by somebody from dhs last week or the week before where he said basically, i can tell you right now where each of the kids is and each of the parents is. If that exists, they should present that over to congress and to the American People because i certainly have not seen it. Some democrats are calling for the abolition of i. C. E. They are saying abolish i. C. E. Youve seen the hash tag, the tshirts. You probably saw some of that, at least the video from the rallies over the weekend. Where do you stand on that . Is that something that should be done . Should that agency be done away with . I think you see what you see is a lot of frustration and a lot of anger about years of abuse and corruption and secrecy by i. C. E. I. C. E. Is a fairly Large Organization so i basically stand with the agents who wrote in to secretary nielsen and asked that the Homeland Security investigations piece of i. C. E. Be separated out and left to itself. And i think that we should extract, we should take away any kind of enforcement and Removal Authority from i. C. E. And put it somewhere else. Put it in a place where youll have folks that are doing it in a more responsible way. But i think we should also mention, jim, that this is not just about i. C. E. This is when we look at whats going on at the border and the way families are being separated up and the fact that it doesnt seem like theres any plan to reunite them, its border patrol. Its i. C. E. Its also hhs. And also the ultimate solution to this is not just reorganizing or doing away with departments. People have to get out there and vote for people that will clean this up. Congressman, let me ask you this. Are you concerned this abolish i. C. E. Movement, this tausk abolishing i. C. E. Is going to hurt your party in the midterms, give the president an issue to run on . Hes for law enforcement, you guys arent. Doesnt that concern you . Of course hes going to say that, jim. But the president also makes things up. So whatever you do, whether you play it straight or whether you give him some ammunition, either way hes going to do everything he can to demonize democrats for the midterm elections and for 2020. Joaquin castro, thank you for coming on and joining us. Appreciate it. More on Michael Cohens remark about loyalty. Does it spell trouble for President Trump .

And were following multiple breaking stories including new information about the shredded documents seized in the raid on Michael Cohen. Take a look at this. Buzzfeed reporters say theyve obtained 16 documents reconstructed as prosecutors move forward with the cohen investigation. Lets bring in our analyst. Susan hennessy first. Looking at the documents, what are you seeing . Right, so in general its not great news that the fbi is reconstructing the documents here. Its not necessarily clear if were seeing the entire picture. I think what it does so is the investigators here have hard evidence. Whatever we think of the pressure Michael Cohen may be under to cooperate, whether or not people may be risking perjury, this is a nice reminder there is documentary evidence that backing up a lot of this stuff. In therchls actual documents themselves, one thing cohen ark certed is that his documents are protected by Attorney Client privilege. These are not documents that show that hes acting like an attorney. And thats been the prosecutors charge from the beginning. All in all, its not a great day for him. You look at what Michael Cohen said this morning. Is he cooperating . Is he signaling hes about to cooperate . Its interesting why he decided to do the interview in the first place. Not something a lawyer would typically suggest you do. Hes trying to send a message. If you listen to the interview, hes at least contemplating cooperating. At the end of the day whats most important is not what he says but what he does. The most significant revelation is that hes going to be terminating this joint Defense Agreement. Thats information sharing agreement with trumps lawyers. Thats a prerequisite to cooperating and the final sign that Michael Cohen was about to cooperate. This is from a guy who once said hes ready to take a bullet for President Trump. Apparently not a steep indictment. Lets listen to what Michael Cohen has said in the past. Oh, we dont have the sound. Obviously, weve played that sound before. You see sound bite after sound bite of Michael Cohen heaping praise. What do you make of this change in tune in Michael Cohen . The incentive structure has clearly changed. He went from a place where he was an employee of the president , an ally and even a friend of the president where cozying up to the president , being on his good side helped him professionally and personally and now its the exact opposite. The president is a liability for Michael Cohen legally. Sort of an anchor around his neck. Michael cohen is trying to swim to the surface here. The only way to do that is by potentially turning on the president. Ryan lizza, is this sending up a flare that he wants a pardon. If youre considering giving me a pardon, you may want to start working on some documents of your own . Maybe, but this is like the classic prisoners dilemma. Two prisoners. They cant communicate and they each have the ability to destroy the other. They have to decide whether to rat the other out. If he were actually going full on pardon route, i believe he would do what manafort is doing and just live through the process, find out what the indictments are going to show. Go to trial. Wait all of that out and then get the pardon. If he was still relying on a pardon from trump, then this move, breaking the cooperation, the defense Cooperation Agreement and signaling to the government that he wants to cooperate, it just seems like that is not the path you take if youre telling the president im going to hold firm for you. Youre going to pardon me. David swerdlick, turning to immigration, the president , weve been talking about this, tweeted two contradictory things over the weekend. Tweeting that, you know, earlier last week the House Republicans should pass a strong but fair immigration bill. Put some of these on screen. And over the weekend, he said i never pushed the republicans in the house to vote for the immigration bill. We dont have to read all the details. One essentially contradicts the other. Sarah sanders was asked about this and asked whether the president was essentially lying over the weekend when he tweeted that, no, i never did this, which, of course, that is a lie. Heres what she said. The president last thursday wrote on twitter hour, republicans should pass the strong but fair immigration bill known as goodlatte 2 in their afternoon vote today. On sunday he wrote i never pushed the republicans in the house to vote for the immigration bill either goodlatte 1 or 2. Why would the president lie about Something Like that . He didnt. The president has talked all along. Weve laid out the priorities and principles we support that we wanted to see reflected in legislation. At the same time, the president wasnt aggressively lobbying members because he knew that democrats in the senate still were unwilling to actually come to the table and focus on Solutions Rather than playing political games. David swerdlick . She put a ton of spin on that but clearly the president his flip flopped on issues and strategy throughout his presidency going back to when he was running for president. He rarely has flipflopped from one tweet which is in print to the next tweet, just a couple days later. And thats what makes this stand out. Its also why republicans in the house and senate are frustrated that they cant get any momentum on bills to a certain extent because they dont know when the president is going to pull the rug out. And doesnt this get to at the heart of some of the problems that go on inside this white house. That they just blatantly lie to us. And this is just an example of, you can just look at these two things and you know the president is just making this up over the weekend and Sarah Sanders is making it up that he didnt lie about it. He ruins the credibility of people that have to go out there and speak for him. If you have that job youll on a daily basis put in a position to say things that are not true. And first of all, kudos to the reporter from politico who used that word lie. Its important for Sarah Sanders to sort of be confronted with that because you shouldnt beat around the bush on these things. Its not even just that trump lies. When he speaks, its sometimes its just coincidence if what he says conforms to actual facts. And hes just always in the moment saying whatever he thinks he needs to get by in that second. Its almost worse than lying. Its just a constant stream of bs. And, you know, makes our job really, really hard. And when you say that, point it out, his supporters get really angry. You know from what its like on social media. This is the problem i have is when they call us fake news or the enemy of the people and then they go out and blatantly lie like this. How is that not fake news . Anyway, well get more on that in a moment. A new highlevel trip to north korea. This as were learning about urgent concerns that kim jongun has no intention of giving up his nukes despite what he told President Trump. woman so beautiful. man beautiful just like you. woman oh, why thank you. [both scream] burke coupe soup. And we covered it. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum breaking tonight, the secretary of state is heading back to north korea. Some u. S. Intelligence officials reveal escalating concerns kim jongun made false promises to President Trump about denuclearization. Our pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr joins us. What can you tell us about mike pompeos trip . He is set to take off and be in pyongyang at the end of the week. This trip will be vital now to getting real commitments out of kim jongun that he really is going to give up his weapons. How long will it take . I think within the first minute ill know. Less than 60 seconds, President Trump just before the singapore summit insisted thats all the time he needed to determine if kim jongun was serious about giving up his nuclear weapons. Just my touch, my feel. Thats what i do. I think that very quickly ill know whether or not something good is going to happen. Reporter but the Pentagons Defense Intelligence Agency believes north korea has no intention, for now, of giving up its weapons. It is going to hide missiles, warheads and nuclear fuel from any inspectors. This is all about regime survival. This is all about keeping the kim dynasty in power and theyll stop at nothing in order to do that. Reporter National Security adviser john bolton says the white house has its eyes wide open but its better not to give kim time to drag it out. Im sure that secretary of state mike pompeo will be discussing this with the north koreans in the near future about really how to dismantle all of their wmd and Ballistic Missile programs in a year. If they have the strategic decision already made to do that, and they are cooperative, we can move very quickly. Commercial satellite imagery may already be showing north koreas moves. Researchers believe these images show recent expanded construction at a weapons plant known for making missile parts. And these images show improvements at a Massive Nuclear research complex. A critical worry is whether north korea may already be secretly making more nuclear fuel for new warheads. If the talks dont work out the mantra there, ready to fight tonight, does not change. But theres not any starry eyed feeling among the group doing this that were well, well aware of hat the north koreans have done in the past. Reporter and you heard the hint there earlier from john bolton that there will be a todo list for the north koreans to give up their weapons. The only question now is will kim do any of it . Important questions. Barbara starr, thank you. More evidence that the Trump Administration has no clear plan of action to reunite hundreds of separated immigrant families. The outrage still growing after a weekend of protests across the country. Lets bring in cnn National CorrespondentMiguel Marquez in texas near the border. What can you tell us . Yeah, pressure growing on the Trump Administration to reunify those families. I want to be perfectly clear. We have seen some reunifications, but those are due to a judges order, nothing to do with the Trump Administration plan. In los angeles, 12yearold josaline separated a month from her parents. In miami, a similar scene. 7yearold yani separated from her mother for two months. These reunifications ordered by a judge, not the Trump Administration which reversed the president s socalled zero tolerance policy but has so far provided little direction on when and how the mass reunifications would take place. Massachusetts senator ed markey and texas congressman al green toured several facilities over the last 48 hours. Is there any sense of how and when these children will be reunited . We asked i. C. E. Last night, when are the children going to be reunited with their parents . They said they dont have any instructions yet. My sense is that the president has made a colossal mistake and that he does not know how to correct his mistake because he didnt have a plan for this. Reporter in legal documents filed late friday, the Justice Department indicated it would reunite families by detaining them together until their asylum claims are settled. Thats not a good substitute for the reunification of these families. Reporter the senator hand delivered letters from children in his home state to immigrant children detained at a southwest key facility in brownsville, texas. Families should be together. Reporter the Trump Administration has stopped reporting the number of families reunited. The Administration Last week reported 2,047 children were separated from their parents, but its not clear if that number includes families separated as part of a near yearlong test program before zero tolerance was announced along the borders el paso sector. Protests against trump immigration policies only growing coast to coast. Protests over the weekend with some continuing today. And a sign of how desperate some separated families have become, the l. A. Times obtained messages written by detained parents. One anguished, unidentified mother wrote there are moments when i cant go on. If they are going to deport me, let them do it but with my child. Without him, i am not going to leave here. The clock is ticking for the Trump Administration. The california judge ordering that those under 5 kids had to be reunited with their parents by next tuesday. And all kids by the 26th of this month. Jim . Just so heartbreaking what those kids are going through. Miguel marquez down near the border. Thank you very much. Breaking news, next.

We have breaking news on the operation to rescue a dozen boys and their soccer coach found alive after being trapped for days in a dark, wet cave. Officials in thailand revealing some astounding details a short while ago. Were told the boys will be taught to do i have to help them get out of the cave and supplied with four months of food. Cnn photojournalist Mark Phillips joins us from thailand. Mark, tell us about this rescue plan. It sounds like it could drag on for some time. Reporter the boys could be in this cave for a very long time. At the moment, what the thai authorities would really like for the waters to subside so that they can actually carry the boys out, but were in the middle of a monsoon season and there is heavy rain, you know, in the next couple of days coming up. One other options is teaching the boys how to dive to bring them out that way, but they have to ascertain how their health is. How physically strong they are. They have been in that cave now for ten days. A second day the following day. They had to see how fit they are. Theyre bringing a diver a team of divers went in late last night with one doctor and one nurse. So theyll have a look at the boys, see what condition theyre in and see if theyre fit to move them from there. Jim. What are the rescuers doing in the short term, mark, to keep these boys safe . Reporter in the short term, the boys stay theyre organizing actually, theyre not thinking about if they stay, theyre thinking about how to get them out as quickly as possible. They dont want to be caught in there again if the caves flood. They dont want to be stuck there figuring out how to get the boys out. The longer they say there, it is quite dangerous. So the option is to try to get the boys out as quickly as possible but as safely as possible. Thats what theyre trying at the moment. All right. Mark phillips, thank you very much. Hoping for the best for those kids. We appreciate it. Now back to the breaking news on Michael Cohens new interview. Lets bring in our Cuomo Chris Cuomo from chris cuomo prime time. Chris, what do you make of Michael Cohen breaking his silence, speaking out to abc, suggesting his loyalty is not with President Trump but with his family and his country . Thats pretty fascinating. That is a turn for Michael Cohen that we havent seen up until this point. True. Obviously this speculation, jim, about flipping. One, he would need a case to flip on, right . He hasnt even been charged with anything, although he has been under investigation, now it seems for about a couple of years. And hed have to know something that is of such value to either prosecutors in the Southern District and or special counsel mueller that it would be worth it to them to deal differently with him, given that they might have a case. So there is a lot of what ifs. Why did he give the interview . I think its just a Straight Line political and personal calculation that he doesnt like being shut out. He doesnt like the quiet treatment. He doesnt like the implications from the Trump Legal Team and trumps supporters and surrogates who seem to suggest that Michael Cohen is the dirty one in all of this. I think that was a none too subtle message that cohen was giving in the interview. I thought it was interesting today, chris, President Trump says he interviewed four possible Supreme Court contenders. It almost sounds like hes speed dating with some of these potential Supreme Court justices. Hes going to meet with a few more. Do you think he actually picks a female Supreme Court justice . Well, look, who knows better than you, jim, about this president s tendencies. We know he likes big wins. He likes a big show. He likes to be able to say never been done before and all other kinds of superlatives, whether warranted or not. Certainly picking the first conservative female justice would do that. He does have several boldface names that hes looking at. One of them in particular did well with democrats in terms of getting 55 votes in the senate for her court of appeals appointment. Now, of course, everyone will argue that scotus is different than when you vote for a judge in a lower court, but still there is a threshold of support there. I think whatevers going to get trump the most attention and the biggest win is always going to be your most likely avenue of potential. Always programming for reality tv. Among your guests tonight, chris, former White House Communications director anthony scaramucci. I believe you know him well. What issues do you want to discuss with him most tonight . I suppose its interesting that hes been differing with the president on trade and other issues lately. Look, the economics. Anthony, for his personal feelings about the president , hues to what he believes politically most of the time. So he is a good guest for the audience because hes somebody who is close to the president , who understands his thinking, who gives you a better shot than most of getting an honest answer to a lot of questions. We have some real hot button topics to go over with anthony. The hope is always that he helps the audience understand why trump does and says what he does. He is a good trump whisperer, indeed. Chris cuomo, well be watching tonight. Thank you very much. Good to see you, sir. Be sure to tune in to chris cuomo prime time. 9 00 eastern on cnn. Im jim acosta. Thanks very much for watching.
