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

finally caught. I'm
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.

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.

19:57
charge on using GPS technology as a
19:59
safety tool.
