4:00

she called deeply wrong. The

4:02

president, Sotomayor wrote, is now a

4:04

keen above the law. That prompted

4:07

an unusually fierce response from Roberts,

4:09

accusing the dissent of fear-mongering on

4:11

the basis of extreme hypotheticals. The

4:14

court emphasized the lasting significance of

4:17

his decision well beyond Trump, noting

4:19

concerns about opening a Pandora's box

4:22

of criminal prosecutions of former presidents.

4:24

A prospect Trump teed up in

4:26

last week's debate when he suggested

4:29

President Biden could be prosecuted for

4:31

his immigration policy. This man is

4:33

a criminal. Said the court, virtually

4:36

every president is criticized for insufficiently

4:38

enforcing some aspects of federal law.

4:41

Without immunity, such types of prosecutions

4:43

of ex-presidents could quickly become routine.

4:46

As for the immediate case, applying the

4:48

court's decision on what unofficial acts that

4:50

special counsel Jack Smith can prosecute Trump

4:52

for will take time. This is not

4:55

the end of the prosecution of Donald

4:57

Trump. I strongly suspect that Jack Smith

4:59

will find allegations that he thinks survive.

5:03

Jan Crawford joins us now. Jan, Jack

5:05

Smith's case is now very much more

5:07

complicated. What's next? Well, that's

5:09

right, Major. I mean, this case has

5:12

been on hold. Today's decision from the

5:14

court means probably new hearings in the

5:16

lower courts, and that will significantly delay

5:18

the start of any trial. Now, as

5:21

for those other trials, Trump is facing

5:23

that classified documents trial. In Florida, is

5:25

moving slowly. The Georgia election subversion case

5:27

is on hold. All of

5:29

these trials major, I think, highly unlikely

5:31

before the election. Jan Crawford,

5:34

thank you. President Biden is

5:36

heading back to the White House, where he'll speak

5:38

about the Supreme Court decision tonight. His

5:40

deputy campaign manager has already released a

5:42

statement, quote, they, meaning the Supreme Court,

5:45

just handed Donald Trump keys to a

5:47

dictatorship, unquote. CBS's Robert Costa joins me

5:49

here. Robert, what's the reaction from former

5:52

President Trump and those around him? Social

5:54

media today, former President Trump, called the

5:56

Supreme Court ruling a big win. But

5:58

behind this, he's going to be There's

6:01

still apprehension. He might not face prosecution

6:03

this year on January 6 or classified

6:05

records, but he still does face criminal

6:07

sentencing coming up in New York on

6:10

July 11th. And he still

6:12

has the possibility of being tried down the line.

6:14

President Biden returning to deliver remarks tonight.

6:17

Does anyone in the Biden campaign believe

6:19

this decision could alter the current campaign

6:21

conversation? If so, how? It already is

6:24

based on my reporting calls today. Democrats

6:27

feel galvanized by what happened at the

6:29

Supreme Court. Yes, those concerns about

6:31

the debate and the performance of

6:33

the president still linger. They're part

6:35

of an ongoing conversation among Democrats,

6:37

but they feel now the argument

6:39

against Trump has sharpened because of

6:41

what the Supreme Court ruled. And

6:44

Democrats are saying even if they

6:46

have concerns about Biden, Trump must

6:48

be stopped. Robert Costa, as always,

6:50

thank you. President Biden's

6:52

family is urging him to ignore calls

6:54

to step aside following what can only

6:56

be described as a disastrous debate performance

6:58

against former President Trump, with the First

7:00

Lady saying, quote, we will continue to

7:03

fight. The message from Biden's campaign team

7:05

and his family is that he remains

7:07

the Democratic Party's best hope in

7:09

the upcoming election. CBS's Weijia Zhang has

7:11

more from the White House. Tonight,

7:14

top White House and campaign aides

7:16

say there are no plans for

7:18

President Biden to step down as

7:20

the presumptive Democratic nominee. And

7:23

he has his family's full support.

7:25

They huddled at Camp David all weekend

7:28

where First Lady Dr. Jill Biden

7:30

spoke to Vogue magazine for its

7:32

August cover story. She

7:34

downplayed Biden's debate performance, insisting

7:36

they will not let those

7:38

90 minutes define the four

7:41

years he's been president. We

7:43

will continue to fight. I

7:45

know I'm not a young man. The

7:48

Biden campaign is making the same case,

7:50

with a new ad just released this

7:52

morning showing the president at a rally

7:54

the day after the debate. I

7:57

know how to do this job. I

8:00

know rights are wrong. Considerably

8:02

sharper and more energetic than

8:05

when he was on stage with Donald

8:07

Trump. If we

8:10

finally beat Medicare. A

8:12

new CBS News poll shows how

8:14

the debate impacted voters, with 72%

8:16

saying Biden does not have the

8:19

mental and cognitive health to serve

8:21

as president, compared to 65% before

8:23

the debate. 50%

8:27

believe Trump does. Among

8:29

registered Democrats, 54%

8:32

think Biden should run for president. 46%

8:35

say he should not. Trump

8:37

weighed in on a radio show. And

8:39

they say getting them out is very

8:42

hard because he has the delegates, he

8:44

has the votes. And

8:47

that if he doesn't want to get out, there's not a

8:49

thing they can do about it. Election

8:51

expert David Becker says the decision

8:53

is for Biden alone to make.

8:56

The primaries were held, the voters have spoken. I

8:58

expect that we will see a rematch

9:01

of President Biden against former President Trump. Tonight,

9:04

the Biden campaign is circulating a

9:06

new internal poll. Even though it

9:08

has Trump leading by one point,

9:10

it also shows support of the

9:12

president has not changed following the

9:14

debate. Top advisors brought up the

9:16

results during a call with donors

9:18

this evening, trying to calm nerves

9:20

about Biden's viability. Major. Nervous

9:23

donors indeed. Weijia Jang at the White House, thank

9:25

you. Turning now to the

9:27

life threatening situation in the Caribbean, Hurricane

9:29

Beryl made landfall and history today in

9:31

Grenada as a dangerous category four storm

9:33

with 150 mile per hour winds. CBS's

9:37

Tom Hanton is in Jamaica tonight where

9:39

the storm is heading next. The

9:43

Caribbean is on high alert. Hurricane

9:46

Beryl made landfall around 11 a.m.

9:48

this morning on Grenada's Caracou Island,

9:50

packing catastrophic winds of 150 miles

9:52

per hour and

9:55

a life threatening six to nine foot

9:58

storm surge. We have reports of. extensive

10:00

storm surge. We have

10:02

reports of extensive loss of roof

10:05

and damage to buildings. In

10:07

nearby Barbados, the storm surge caused flooding

10:09

and destroyed about 20 boats

10:12

in this bay. The storm

10:14

is the first category four hurricane

10:16

ever recorded in June when it

10:18

strengthened over the weekend. And it's

10:20

the first to increase from a

10:22

tropical storm to an intense category

10:24

four storm in just 48 hours

10:26

before September. Hurricane Beryl is

10:28

on a path to Jamaica and officials

10:30

there are asking residents to prepare. We

10:33

keep an eye on the forecast and the

10:35

forecast is saying that it's not

10:37

supposed to be much. So you're just going to batten

10:39

down and ride it out and see

10:41

what happens. And

10:44

to give you an idea of

10:46

just how unprecedented this storm is,

10:48

the average date of the first

10:50

major hurricane is September 1st. Experts

10:52

say the power of Beryl this

10:54

early is driven by abnormally warm

10:56

waters due to climate change that

10:58

are fueling the storm. Major. Tom

11:00

Hanson, thank you so much for

11:02

the latest track on Hurricane Beryl and

11:04

a look at the extreme heat this

11:06

July 4th week. Let's bring in CBS

11:09

Miami's Chief Meteorologist Ivan Cabrera. Ivan, good

11:11

evening. Hey

11:14

Major, good to see you and absolutely this

11:16

storm is maintaining its strength right now. It

11:18

has very impressive satellite perspective here.

11:20

We've been watching something we typically see

11:22

in the peak of hurricane season

11:24

in September, certainly not June and now on

11:27

July 1st. It's going to continue moving off

11:29

to the west northwest. It's very organized right

11:31

now but the good news for Jamaica is

11:33

that this system is going to be encountering

11:35

some wind shears. So there you see the

11:38

forecast it's going to be a diminished hurricane

11:40

nonetheless which is why watches

11:42

are posted for Jamaica so they have

11:44

to brace for that but an improvement from

11:47

of course what just happened across the Windward

11:49

Islands then where does it go? Here a

11:51

computer model forecast over the next several days

11:53

we're going to watch Jamaica first then eventually

11:56

headed towards the Yucatan Peninsula thereafter just too

11:58

early to call. If you're watching us

12:00

from the western Gulf states keep an eye

12:02

on the storm as it can be unpredictable

12:05

there towards the end with that spread. And

12:07

of course the big heat on the way

12:09

for 4th of July, triple digit heat indices

12:11

and we have millions of Americans now under

12:14

either a heat advisory or an excessive heat

12:16

warning across the south. Major. Ivan

12:20

Cabrera, thank you. Now we'll look at

12:22

tonight's other top story starting in Central

12:24

New York where residents are demanding justice.

12:26

After police shot and killed a 13

12:29

year old boy they say had a

12:31

gun. CBS's Michael George has the newly

12:33

released body cam video. Major

12:36

there's a growing memorial here at the spot

12:38

where 13 year old Niam away was shot

12:40

and killed by a Utica police officer. Now

12:43

police body camera video shows him away running

12:46

from officers after they stopped him Friday night.

12:48

Police say he pointed what appeared to be

12:50

a handgun at officers later determined to be

12:52

a pellet gun. What do we want? Today

12:56

more than 100 people protested outside

12:58

city hall among them. My

13:00

brother and my family and

13:02

police say they initially stopped

13:04

my way and another team

13:06

because they match the description

13:09

of robbery suspects. New York's

13:11

attorney general is now investigating

13:14

now to the new fallout from those two deadly 737 Boeing

13:17

max crashes back in 2018 and

13:20

2019. CBS's Chris Van Cleve

13:22

reports the Justice Department will

13:24

soon criminally charge the aerospace

13:26

manufacturer. Major Boeing has

13:28

to make a choice, take a plea deal

13:30

or face the potential of a very public

13:32

criminal trial. Under the deal Boeing

13:34

would plead guilty to a conspiracy charge stemming

13:36

from the two deadly 737 max

13:39

crashes, pay a fine and spend three

13:41

years on probation. Lawyers for some of

13:43

the victims families called it another sweetheart

13:46

deal for Boeing and pledged to fight

13:48

it. And this morning Boeing announced

13:50

plans to acquire the troubled maker of 737

13:53

fuselage's spirit arrow systems in a deal

13:55

worth more than eight billion in stock

13:58

and debt. overseas

14:00

now where France's far-right party just

14:02

won the first round of legislative

14:05

elections. CBS's Elaine Cobb is in

14:07

Paris and explains why that's so

14:09

significant. In

14:12

a historic result, France's far-right

14:14

national rally party, which is

14:16

accused of being anti-immigration, anti-Semitic

14:18

and anti-Muslim, led the first

14:20

round of voting. That

14:23

lead has sent shockwaves through the country, Major.

14:26

Things that don't usually cooperate from the

14:28

left and center ground are now scrambling

14:30

to form a united front. If

14:33

they don't stop the national rally

14:35

winning Sunday's decisive second round, France

14:37

could see its first far-right government

14:39

since World War II. With

14:42

thanks to our CBS News teams around

14:44

the globe, Eye on America is next

14:46

16:01

Sarah Hagee, and we're the host of

16:03

Scamfluencers, a weekly podcast from Wondery that

16:05

takes you along the twists and turns

16:07

of some of the most infamous scams

16:09

of all time, the impact on victims

16:11

and what's left once a facade falls

16:13

away. We've covered stories like a Shark

16:15

Tank certified entrepreneur who left the show

16:17

with an investment but soon faced mounting

16:20

bills, an active lawsuit followed by Larry

16:22

King, and no real product to push.

16:24

He then began to prey on vulnerable

16:26

women instead, selling the idea of a

16:28

future together while stealing from them behind

16:30

their backs. To the infamous scams of

16:32

Real Housewives stars like Teresa Giudice, what

16:34

should have proven to be a major

16:37

downfall only seemed to solidify her place

16:39

in the Real Housewives Hall of Fame.

now on Wondery Plus. One

16:58

in four women and one in seven

17:00

men are victims of domestic violence, that

17:02

according to a CDC survey. Tonight, there

17:05

is a new law in Tennessee to protect

17:07

these victims. Born from an unspeakable tragedy, it's

17:10

the first in the country to

17:12

mandate GPS monitoring of the

17:14

most violent domestic violence offenders.

17:17

Here's CBS's Meg Oliver with tonight's Eye

17:20

on America. On

17:29

April 12, 2021, outside Nashville, Debbie Sisco and her

17:32

daughter Marie Varsos were shot and

17:42

killed by Marie's estranged husband, who

17:45

later took his own life. Three

17:48

people are dead after a murder-suicide in

17:50

Lebanon. Sean

17:52

Varsos broke into his mother-in-law's house

17:55

where Marie was staying. He had

17:57

guns, zip ties and battery acid.

17:59

ready to hunt them down. Varsos

18:02

was out on bail after strangling his

18:05

wife and threatening her with a gun

18:07

the month before. Yeah,

18:10

he went running that way, had a

18:12

shotgun. You know, I remember screaming, you

18:17

know, it was very emotional. Alex Yawn

18:19

is Murray's brother and Debbie's son.

18:22

Two people that I loved dearly, or just

18:24

very quickly, ripped out of my

18:26

life. Judges can require GPS

18:28

as a condition of bail, but

18:30

often don't. Varsos was

18:32

considered enough of a threat that the

18:35

judge had the ability to require a

18:37

GPS tracking device put on him, but

18:39

he didn't, why not? That's

18:41

a question, you know, for the judge.

18:44

It's one that infuriates me. My sister,

18:46

my mother. Yawn turned

18:48

his pain and anger into

18:50

a successful push for mandated

18:52

GPS tracking of aggravated assault

18:55

offenders in domestic violence cases.

18:57

Tennessee's new law is called the

19:00

Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection

19:02

Act. Do you believe if

19:04

Varsos had been wearing a GPS tracking device

19:06

that your mother and sister would still be

19:08

alive today? Absolutely. Domestic

19:11

violence is everywhere. Jennifer Wandel is

19:13

with the Battered Women's Justice Project.

19:15

How likely is it for a

19:18

high-risk suspect to repeat their actions?

19:21

When there's firearms at play, when

19:23

there's strangulation, when there's elevated stalking,

19:25

they're more likely to do it

19:27

again. Here's how it

19:30

works. Victims are notified through a

19:32

phone app or an electronic device

19:34

when an offender violates an order

19:36

of protection. That can mean

19:38

moving within a certain radius of the

19:41

victim or breaching an exclusion zone like

19:43

their house. When that

19:45

happens, victims can receive multiple

19:47

alerts like texts, emails, and

19:49

a monitoring service calls law

19:52

enforcement. Every second matters.

19:54

Ray Gandoff is helping to lead the

19:57

charge on using GPS technology as a

19:59

safety tool.
