George first arrest of an idaho man plotting a deadly attack on churches in support of isis. The fbi director calls it a truly horrific plan. Chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has the latest. Good morning, pierre. Reporter george, good morning. The suspect was arrested on saturday just hours before the alleged planned assault on sunday. Authorities say he had picked a specific church where he would start his attack, set for the end of ramadan. This morning the fbi claims this 18yearold was on the verge of conducting a terror plot involving attacks on multiple churches in idaho. Alexander mercurio expressing his allegiance to isis. The plot involved a murderous rampage using knives and firearms to kill parishioners. He also planned to set the houses of worship on fire, going from church to church until he was killed by police. Its a plan eerily similar to that isis assault on that concert hall in moscow. Talked about using knives, fire and possibly weapons. And so the combination of all three if, in fact, he did launch that, had the possibility of harming a lot of people. Reporter according to criminal charges unsealed last night, mercurio had bought a number of items for his attacks including butane canisters for setting fires. And those charges are also on saturday he sent an audio file to an fbi informant that says in part im answering the call for the Islamic State for jihad and to kill. Charges against mercurio lay out a chilling plan where he would, quote, incapacitate his father, restrain him using handcuffs, steal his firearms to use for maximum casualties in his attack. Sources tell abc news his father had dozens of weapons including an ar15 style assault rifle. Mercurios arrest comes at a state of heightened alert by u. S. Law enforcement. Authorities have been concerned about rage ignited by the hamas war and late last week they sented out an urgent bulletin saying isis was trying to use the horrific attack in moscow to inspire people here to conduct attacks. Announcing this arrest last night we received statements from both the attorney general and the fbi director, both expressing deep concern, saying just how dangerous the threat environment is right now. Michael . Michael happy they were able to stop him. Thank you very much. Now the Severe Weather in the south. The storms could cause trouble for people trying to get home from watching the eclipse. Ginger is tracking the latest. Good morning, ginger. Ginger were grateful a lot of storms waited for after the eclipse. But it did make for tough driving especially if you were in texas, where hail was reported, more than 50 reports. The hail causing flash flooding in the streets there. Today were going to see more Severe Weather. We do see more hail in the forecast, but also damaging winds. Its kicking up an isolated tornado threat that becomes bigger. Austin, waco, into louisiana today but it doesnt stop, the overnight, we will see the potential for tornados going into tomorrow morning. We will likely be waking up tomorrow morning talking about watches. That will keep pushing east into southern mississippi and the florida panhandle. This is a big event with many tornados possible. In the next 36 hours. It is time to say, okay, where am i going to be . Do i have a shelter . Can i be close to that when a warning is issued . George lot of good advice, ginger. Thanks. The latest on Donald Trumps legal troubles with jack smith calling the Supreme Court to reject trumps claims of immunity as the former president tries some last ditch legal maneuvers to delay his manhattan trial on election interference. Aaron katersky is at the courthouse in downtown manhattan. Good morning, aaron. Reporter good morning. Were less than a week before former President Trump is to stand trial in new york. An Appeals Court already rejected one of his attempts to delay and is expected to take up another one a bit later today. Trumps attorneys would like to stop everything and move the case out of manhattan. They say there are too many potential jurors around here who have been exposed to pretrial negative publicity. Prosecutors say trump should have nothing to complain about though since much of the publicity is his own doing. He talks and posts about the case so much to weed out bias potential jurors will fill out a seven page questionnaire that asks whether or not theys been a trump rally and their feelings about how trump is being treated. Today, trump is going to ask again to delay the case and relax a gag order the judge imposed that stops him from attacking the judges family, prosecutors and witnesses. George, as you know, trump would like to push all of his criminal trials past the november election. So far one here in new york is the only one set to go on trial next week. George aaron, what can you tell us about the special counsel going to the Supreme Court . Reporter jack smith says theres nothing in american history, the constitution or even policy debate to suggest that a former president cannot be held criminally accountable. That no president has ever been prosecuted before. Its not because hes immuned. Jack smith said it reflects the unprecedented nature of trumps alleged conduct. George . George thanks. Bring in dan abrams. We are seeing all of these last minute maneuvers. Any chance of success . Very very small. At this point it seems clear this case is moving to trial. These issues have been litigated, addressed, and i think that the chance that this isnt going to begin monday is small. George monday the courthouse opens. What are you looking for . First thing is jury selection. Right . You heard aaron talking about the questions the jurors will be answering. Its not just big picture ones like, have you been to a trump rally . Its what media do you watch . Where do you get your information . There will be subtle questions that will tell lawyers a lot about these jurors. Thats going to be the most critical thing in this case. We can sit here and talk about all the legal issues, all the factual questions. But the most important question is going to be who is on that jury . And that will be number one. Then number two is going to be at the trial legal and factual. From a legal perspective, are they going to be able to demonstrate this falsification of Business Records was an effort to conceal another crime. In effect here, the election crimes that the prosecutors say were also committed even though they werent charged. Secondly factually, is the former president going to continue to deny he had a relationship with Stormy Daniels . I think hes going to. I think his position is still it didnt happen. George do you think hell have to take the stand . No, he doesnt have to take the stand. I would be surprised if he takes the stand. I know his team is talking about it. I would be very surprised if he does take the stand. Then again, classic legal case, right . You have to view this case through the legal and political prism. As a result, the typical rules that apply may not apply here. George dan abrams, thank you very much. Donald trump is under fire from all sides on abortion rights. The former president now says the issue should be for the states to decide. Members of his own party disagree. Democrats say he is back to the strictest bans on abortion. Rachel scott has the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Donald trump has made it clear this is all about politics. He has been trying to find a winning message on this issue. After months of floating the idea of a possible 15 Week National abortion ban, he now says the decision should be left up to the states, sparking backlash on both sides. This morning donald trump is facing criticism from his own party after declaring that the issue of abortion should be up to individual states. The states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land in this case the law of the state. Reporter but as president , trump appointed three justices who supported overturning roe, and during his video announcement saying he is proudly the person responsible for the Supreme Courts decision. The Vice President firing back. One in three women of reproductive age now live in a state with an abortion ban. If he were to be put back in a position where he could sign off on a law, he would sign off on a National Abortion ban. Reporter the former president making it clear politics is at the heart of his decision, keenly aware abortion rights won in all six states where it has been on the ballot including conservative states like kansas, kentucky, ohio. You must follow your heart on this issue. Remember, you must also win elections. Reporter many on the right outraged that trump declined to endorse a National Abortion plan. His former Vice President mike pence calling his announcement a slap in the face to millions of pro life americans who voted for trump. And close ally senator graham saying he respectfully disagrees. President biden pointing out 21 states have banned or restricted access to abortion since the fall of roe v. Wade. Donald trump just endorsed every state ban on reproductive care nationwide. Reporter trump says he does support exceptions for rape, incest and to save the life of the mother. He did not say he also supports exceptions for health of the mother, george. George this does leave open a lot of questions about what donald trump would actually do if he were elected president again. Reporter george, it is notable that the former president did not say what he would do on this issue if he were to be elected, whether he would sign a National Abortion ban into law, or whether he supports access to medication abortion. Trump himself has been on all sides of this issue over the years, george. George what he did as president is what counts. Okay, rachel. Thank you very much. Michael . Michael now the scam targeting ez pass users. Scammers are using phoney Text Messages to try to get your money and information. Erielle reshef is here now with what you need to know. Good morning, erielle. Reporter good morning. Cant let your guard down for even a second. Drivers in 18 states from the east coast to midwest have ez pass as a way to pay tolls.

The pennsylvania Turnpike Commission reports thousands of its customers received bogus Text Messages warning of an Outstanding Balance directing them to click a link to a website to pay in order to avoid a late fee.

Okay, erielle. Thank you. Now the economic warning as the head of the nations biggest bank and as house holds feel the pressure of inflation. Elizabeth schulze joins us. 8 Interest Rate could bes in americas future . Reporter thats right, rebecca. Good morning. This is an ominous warning from the ceo of jp morgan chase. Jamie diamond says Interest Rates could spike to 8 in the coming years. He cites high spending by the government and disruptions to global trade as reasons that inflation could stay higher for longer. The Federal Reserve has already raised Interest Rates to around 5. 5 to fend off stubbornly high inflation. While the prices we pay are not going up as much as they were three years ago, the typical American House hold is still spending 1,000 extra every month on the same goods and services because of inflation, with so many struggling to make ends meet. Jamie diamond has been warning about an impending recession for awhile. He admits that still has not happened. Guys . Rebecca its been happening for sometime. Hes been putting this out there.
