other in eating i dethiopia. >> this is coming as a just-released federal report shows the faa is now short thousands of air traffic controllers heading into what could be a record summer for travel. a lot to process. morgan chesky is from lax. good morning. >> hoda, good morning. this court filing from the doj makes it abundantly clear because they believe that boeing violated that 2021 agreement and now opens the door to potential criminal prosecution and that is something that families of these crash victims have now been calling for for years, and as for this new study from the faa, they do have more than 11,000 air traffic controllers, but to properly be staffed, the agency admits it needs at least 3,000 more and with memorial day travel just two weekends away, the skies are only expected to get busier. >> this morning more trouble for boeing.

the u.s. government announcing that the aircraft manufacturer can now be prosecuted because the doj said it violated an agreement tied to two fatal crashes. >> there are families who lost their loved ones, hundreds of them have fought very hard for this day. >> in january 2021, boeing agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle with the justice department. prosecutors accused the company of concealing information about its 737 max plane. after two crashes, lion air in 2018 and ethiopian air in 2019 that killed everyone onboard. the doj accusing boeing of failing to design, implement and enforce a compliance and ethics program to detect violations of the u.s. fraud laws throughout its operations. since the agreement boeing has come under increasing scrutiny. after the mid-air blowout on the alaska air flight back in january, boeing grounded its

planes at the time to look into the issue and several whistle blowers coming forward to accuse the company of overlooking issues in manufacturing which boeing has denied and the families of the deadly 2018 and 2019 crashes have been putting pressure on the doj. >> the department of justice to make the right decision to make sure that nobody else has to go through what we've gone through. nobody else has to encounter the things that we have encountered. >> boeing confirmed it had received the notice tuesday from the doj saying in part, we believe that we have honored the terms of the agreement and look forward to the opportunity to respond to the department on this issue. this comes amid other concerns for passengers as the summer travel season is heating up.s ro a new report from the faa saying the air traffic control workforce needs reinforcements. the agency saying it needs more than 3,000 additional controllers highlighted by a number of recent close calls involving claims nearly colliding due to miscommunications. the faa pledging new measures to

keep the skies safe. >> regarding safety concerns over the shortage, the faa says it does have a breaking point saying that it would actually reduce air traffic entirely before it would allow it to continue in any manner that could potentially compromise safety. hoda? >> morgan, let's go back to the boeing report you talked about. what may factor into the doj's decision on whether or not they're going to file criminal charges? >> reporter: this is interesting. in the court filing the doj says it isn't sure on its particular next steps, but it will consider boeing's explanation as to whether or not it will pursue criminal charges, but interesting insight from "the wall street journal." they mentioned an april meeting between doj officials and families of those crash victims during which officials were said to have shared potential criminal information that took place as a result of that probe into that alaska airlines incident and that could be a pivotal piece of information into deciding how to handle boeing going forward here. that's according to those

familiar with that conversation. hoda? >> morgan chesky for us there in l.a. morgan, thank you. we move on to the latest on former president trump's criminal trial. his former fixer michael cohen on the stand tomorrow after facing tough questions from the defense. we've got two reports starting with nbc senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. good morning. >> savannah, good morning to you. there's no one else that matters more than michael cohen in this trial. he's the one that takes it from trump tower to the oval office. the defense has a mountain of material for cross-examination, all the more reason his a spraw crack at michael cohen. mr credibility is key. this morning, signs donald trump's criminal trial is coming to a close after his defense team took a sprawling first crack at michael cohen. mr. trump's lead attorney offering jurors a grab bag of reasons to question cohen's motives, from money, fame and media attention to jealousy and

a lighter prison sentence, all an attempt to argue cohen, the only witness who directly ties the former president to the prosecution's charges can't be trusted. >> can you believe i've been in here for five weeks instead of campaigning. >> trump attorney todd blanche first launching into cohen's videos on tiktok that had criticized blanche, but the judge quickly warning don't make it about yourself. cohen depicted as a jilted former fixer now out for revenge. blanche asserting you were actually obsessed with president trump, weren't you, citing cohen's own words in his book. cohen also admitting he made more than $3 million off his books. tuesday's cross-examination highly anticipated, but only a small portion was spent on cohen's criminal history and admitted lies under oath and nothing on the critical testimony cohen had provided just hours before, a tedious, but legally significant play-by-play of invoices he sent and checks he received by mr.

trump all littered, cohen says with false statements for how he reimbursed for having silenced stormy daniels on his behalf for the 2016 campaign, the heart of the state's case. he goes on to describe the once-tight bomb with the former president frayed and after the fbi raided his home and office in 2019. mr. trump tried to reassure him saying don't worry. i am the president of the united states. stay tough. which cohen understood for don't flip. >> let's take stock of this the prosecutors don't win their case likely. so how will his testimony come in o much seems that michael cohen is key to this case. prosecutors, if the jury doesn't believe michael cohen the prosecutors don't win their case likely. how did his testimony come in on direct and how has this crossed so far? are they scoring any points? >> he is very measured and he's being careful and very clearly well prepared and the defense is

trying to get under his skin and they're goating him for certain things and so far he isn't taking the bait and he is resisting on certain things that he should be able to admit because they're clear facts. any time you see a witness try to start to parse say that was a lie, i think you're in dangerous territory. >> he's getting a little combative. >> he's resisting things and he hasn't seen the defense saying, are were you lying then or are you lying now? he's getting in another shot at him tomorrow and he had his first crack and he didn't take it. >> the first questions asked by the defense attorney were about the defense attorney which even the judge at side bar said what are you doing? the jurors popped up and kind of sleepy time. >> it's drama and you called me this name -- >> the judge really kneecaped him on that and he didn't recover at that moment. >> it's kind of irrelevant, right? >> totally. >> laura, thank you. all right.

that trial is serving as an audition for trump's potential running mates in the 2024 race now echoing his attacks in the case and some campaign messages. meantime, we are getting a new look at where voters stand in new battleground states. nbc correspondent peter alexander has the latest. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning to you. donald trump's red wall of possible running mates is now growing, several of them taking turns at the mikes outside of that manhattan courthouse, a show of support and loyalty amid the former president's legal troubles. with the republicans' presumptive presidential nominee on trial a growing gop entourage is flocking to his defense. allies and some potential v.p. hopefuls arriving at a new york city fundraiser overnight and more at the courthouse. >> they are speaking very beautifully. >> including former candidate, vivek ramaswamy, doug burgum and

j.d. vance. on thursday the would-be vps, and in those blue ties and all reading from the same playbook echoing his attacks on the rule of law. >> this is a third-rate banana republic and tying up the president from being out on the campaign trail. >> i think it's a sham prosecution. >> also in attendance, mike johnson repeating the statements made by the president. these are politically motivated trials and they're a disgrace. all of it allowing mr. trump's allies to attack the judicial system without risking him again violating a gag order which the judge has warned could mean jail time. the polls show him ahead, the latest flash point with joe biden announcing steep tariffs

on chinese products most notably electric vehicles to cite what the white house calls unfair practices. >> the two rivals trading barbs on the topic. >> the chinese are eating our lunch. >> president biden responding. >> a long time. >> president biden says he's willing to debate mr. trump at least twice before the election and as early as june, aides say. mr. trump reportedly told fox i'm ready to go. the days they proposed are fine. hoda? >> all right. peter alexander for us at the white house. thank you, peter. new details are coming to light on the collapse of baltimore's key bridge. the ntsb just released its preliminary report on what went wrong onboard that container ship that crashed into the bridge causing its collapse. today the board's chair is set to appear on capitol hill. nbc's ryan nobles has the testimony. what are they taking from the report? >> reporter: we did learn a lot. the massive containership lost power twice as it was leaving

the port of baltimore. they were triggered by electrical breakers that ectrical breakers that malfunctioned onboard leaving the ship unable to steer. the second blackout just 350 yards away from the bridge, not leaving enough time for the ship to anchor or get help from nearby tug boats before it hit the bridge. investigators also discovered the ship lost power twice just ten hours before the accident while in port. one of the outages was due to a crew peb emphasis mistake and led them to adjusting the electrical system, but the ntsb is investigating whether this is connected and played any role in the subsequent bridge crash. they will appear on capitol hill alongside federal agencies to provide update on everything from the recovery, cleanup, and investigation. >> this report, ryan, also detailed some harrowing experiences for members of the crew who were on the bridge but also on the ship. >> reporter: that's right, savannah. stories we had not heard before.

a member of the ship's crew said he narrowly avoided being hit by the falling bridge as he was releasing the anchor, managing to escape just in time. and then there was that eight-member maintenance crew that was working on the bridge. seven of them were in their vehicles when they fell into the water. one was able t one was able to free himself is from his truck, but the other six died, and then a maintenancm supervisor was walking along the bridge as the ship struck. he was forced to run to a span of the bridge that survived the, crash making it right before the rest of the bridge collapsed. savannah? >> incredible. all right, ryan, thank you. 7:16. craig joins the table and another big story. >> we've been talking about this for a while. savannah, hoda, according to the latest nbc news poll, more than a third of americans cite the economy and inflation as the most important issue facing the country. in fact, take a look here. inflation has been ticking up since the start of the year hitting 3.5% in march. so where does it stand now?

some new numbers were just released and we'll break them down and talk about the impact on consumers and on wall street, in fact. nbc senior business correspondent christine romans is here. first time this year inflation cooled a bit, the report just out. what are the top lines. >> 3.4%, so a little bit cooler than the chart you just showed. so you can say inflation is cooling, but not actually cool. i mean, 3.4% is still prices rising at a faster than normal pace, just slowing down a little bit from earlier in the year. so going in the right direction, but not mission accomplished just yet on the inflation front. >> are there certain categories that were up or down month to month, year to year? >> fuel costs up, rent and shelter costs up and those are sticky inflation numbers. think about your rent and housing. you can't switch month to month because they're rising so quickly. you're locked in. so that's a little bit of trouble and it's a pain point for a lot of american families and food prices went sideways and that's been an interesting development. groceries, groceries at home

those have been improving while food out at restaurants have still been rising so you're seeing consumers start to switch a little bit. they've reached their pain point on paying more when they're going out to eat so they're eating home more. >> we talked about a fair amount. retail sales are up, they're keeping pace with inflation and unemployment is still low. >> yeah. >> when you ask the average american they still say the economy is not working for me. why is that? >> if you had told me all of this mix of top line economic data i would have said this is the best economy of our life time honestly, but no one feels it and the reason is inflation. inflation even though it's improving it has made a lot of things less affordable. homeowner's insurance has been going up. car insurance has been going up, day care and preschool, those have gone up 4% year over yore year. there are parts of the american experience that have become less affordable and that's made people grumpy and at the same time they're spending like crazy. there will be record travel and record concert going.

>> credit card debt. >> credit card debt. it's a little bit of, you know, fear of missing out. you only live once all wrapped up in this economy. >> christine, thank you. a quick check of the weather for our friends across the west. mr. roker? >> her description is like you, cooling, but not cool. >> cracks himself up. >> out west, things are pretty clear. we have a few showers through the southwest and otherwise plenty of sunshine. take a look at this. eugene, oregon, a few degrees above normal. redding, palm springs 96. phoenix, right about normal at 95 and more of the same at temperatures again, into the 90s as you get up and spend your way all of the way to california and cools our way as we make our way to salt lake over the weekend. phoenix you'll be awfully toasty and los angeles, low 70s. plenty of sunshine and rain in the northeast and sereev

it's the kind of heart-stopping wildliven countiers sailors thread, at times breaking the rudders leaving the boats unsteerable, or worse, sinking them. and now it's happened again. the crew of the 50-foot alboran sail boat called for help off the strait of gibraltar off moroccan rudders saying the orcas damage the rudder and the boat was taking on water. the crew rescued, the boat sank. the same pod of orcas have been toying with boats off the atlantic coast of spain, portugal and france since 2020.s more than 400 encounters, sinking at least five boats. >> sailors call these attacks and we don't call it attacks. we don't know why they're doing it. one hypothesis is that this is some kind of playfulness. they swim over, they play with

happening in this particular region? >> reporter: well, they're not completely sure, but marine biologists do say that this behavior has only been seen in this pod, in this specific area and the pods often develop their own unusual behaviors or fads, as they call them and then drop them just as quickly. they compare the behavior to a dog playing with a ball. it just so happens that this pod is still very interested in playing with boat rudders for a fourth year in a row. these animals are protected, so it's illegal to hurt or harass them, but it's become such an issue, savannah, that the sailing community now has a website to log these encounters and also give advice on how to stay safe. savannah. >> maybe stay away. kelly, thank you. >> all right. still ahead, how would you like to get paid to live in a place where things are more affordable? >> yes. >> and life happens at a slower pace? >> yes. >> we have surprising offers tempting people to move to small towns. >> first up, tom brady taking a

the doj saying they believe boeing withheld information about those boeing 737 max planes. this is a form of accountability, savannah, that the families of those crash victims have been calling now for for years. boeing, for its part, has responded to this court filing saying we believe we honored the terms of the agreement and look forward to the opportunity to respond to the department on this issue. the doj saying back that they're certainly open to hearing what boeing has to say, but they believe that following multiple incidents and whistle blowers coming forward that boeing has negated that significant agreement back in 2021. savannah? behind this set >> and more headaches for boeing. that starliner mission which was supposed to carry astronauts to space. that mission has been delayed again. what's behind this setback? >> reporter: savannah, boeing says it needs additional testing, but this is the third time that the launch date has been pushed back from may 6th to may 17th and now all of the way to may 21st.

the original reason for that scrub back on may 6th was because they needed to take a closer look at an oxygen, a liquid oxygen relief valve that is attached to the actual rocket that's supposed to take those two nasa astronauts into space and everyone is waiting to see when that will actually help. savannah? >> thank you. eight people were killed and 40 others hospitalized after a bus carrying farmworkers collided in florida. the driver of the pickup survived the crash and was charged with eight counts of dui manslaughter. police say there is a high probability that the death count could rise because many of those injured were in very serious condition. an investigation into the crash is still under way. a group of tiktok creators are suing the u.s. government. a new law forcing a sale or ban of the popular video sharing app violates their first amendment rights.
