>> reporter: the president insisting the men who died on those beaches 80 years ago would want america to defend ukraine now in its war against russia. >> they stood against hitler's aggression. does anyone doubt -- does anyone doubt that they would want america to stand up against putin's aggression here in europe today? >> reporter: earlier, biden meeting with ukrainian president zelenskyy, apologizing for the delay in approving new military aid and blaming republicans. >> i apologize for the weeks of not knowing what's going to happen in terms of funding. some of our very conservative members were holding it up, but we got it done finally. >> reporter: for biden, the war in ukraine, the path towards re-establishing the united states as the leader of the free world. >> my fellow americans, i refuse to believe -- i simply refuse to believe that america's greatness is a thing of the past. >> reporter: the president today

moly lanky on the scene, mola, thank you. also, the terrifying moments for more than 400 passengers and crew aboard an air canada flight toronto to paris. emergency landing just after takeoff. flames pouring from one of the plane's engines. air canada tonight saying the situation was quickly stabilized, the plane landing safely back in toronto. the airline saying the problem was caused by a compressor stall, which can occur when debris becomes lodged in the engine, disrupting the airflow. tonight, we are watching the threat of severe storms this evening and tomorrow. we're also tracking this dangerous heat building across the country so early in the season. meteorologist lee goldberg of our station here in new wnbc, tracking it all for >> the focus is back on the plains tonight. severe thunderstorms across parts of nebraska and kansas. new severe storms across parts of new mexico and into oklahoma and kansas. winds up to 70 miles an hour,

as naomi testified in a subdued voice, her father appeared to be fighting back tears, watching her. now a 30-year-old lawyer, naomi told jurors that when she saw her father while he was in rehab in california in august 2018, a few weeks before he purchased the gun, he "seemed like the clearest that i had seen him since my uncle died," referring to beau biden, who died in 2015. and when she saw him a week after he bought the gun, her dad "seemed great, he seemed hopeful." that bolsters the defense case that when he bought the gun, hunter biden was not abusing drugs. but a starkly different picture emerged on cross-examination, as prosecutor leo wise confronted naomi biden with desperate text messages she sent her dad six days after he bought that gun. "i'm really sorry, dad, i can't take this. i just miss you so much, i just want to hang out with you." hunter texting back, "i'm sorry i've been so unreachable, it's not fair to you."

as naomi left the stand, she and her father embraced. sitting in the courtroom, the first lady, who flew back from normandy overnight to be at the trial, where she's been nearly every day. and in france, president biden telling david in an exclusive interview that he will not pardon his son. >> david: i know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution, but let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? >> yes. >> david: and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> yes. >> reporter: this case is moving swiftly towards a conclusion, hunter biden's lawyers telling the judge this case is, quote, down to this last decision, whether hunter biden himself will take the witness stand. either way, this case should go to the jury early next week. david? >> david: terry moran, who's been covering this case for us. we turn to the supreme court and new referral lations from the financial disclosure of the justices of the court. justice clarence thomas officially acknowledging trips paid for by a republican

mega-donor in 2019, including a vacation to bali. other justices disclosing gifts as well. >> reporter: tonight, for the first time, supreme court justice clarence thomas formally disclosing lavish trips valued in thousands of dollars and paid by billionaire and engage gop donor harlan crow. they included stays at a resort in bali and the renowned bohemian grove club in monte rio, california. thomas said these were simply gifts that were "personal hospitality" from a friend, and he "inadvertently omitted" them from financial disclosure forms as required by law. but critics raised questions about the ethics and transparency of the court after information about the trips were first published by propublica. in today's amended release, thomas did not disclose travel expenses, which included a private jet, nor did he disclose the cost of time spent on a yacht as he traveled in asia. and financial disclosures also revealing six-figure royalties or advances for books to four

justices, including ketanji brown jackson, who also disclosed gifts last year of more than $12,000 for art to decorate her chambers, and concert tickets worth more than $3,700 provided by beyonce. today's filings are the first from the justices since the court released a formal code of conduct late last year. justice alito has yet to release his disclosure. he asked for an extension until later this summer, david. now to the race for the white house. today, donald trump speaking about retribution and revenge, saying sometimes revenge can be justified. rachel scott covering the campaign. >> reporter: tonight, back on the campaign trail for the first time since he was convicted of 34 criminal counts, former president donald trump increasingly focused on revenge. >> i just went through a rigged trial in new york. [ booing ] >> reporter: in a series of interviews, trump implying that if he's re-elected he will seek payback against democrats, including joe biden.

>> look, when this election is over, based on what they've done, i would have every right to go after them, and it's easy, because it's joe biden. >> reporter: in an interview with dr. phil, he doubled down. >> you have so much to do, you don't have time to get even. you only have time to get right. >> well, revenge does take time, i will say that. >> it does. >> and sometimes revenge can be justified, phil. i have to be honest, you know, sometimes it can. >> reporter: in another interview, dodging a question about whether he would order the justice department to prosecute manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, who brought the case that led to his conviction, saying, quote, "we're going to see what happens." in normandy, president biden telling david, trump is undermining the rule of law. >> david: what do you think the american people should make of this? how important do you think this conviction should be in this race for president? >> that's for the public to decide. but one thing for certain is, stop undermining the rule of law.

stop undermining the institutions. that's what this whole effort is. all the maga republicans are coming out saying, "this was a fix. this was a jury that -- this was -- a judge that set up to get trump." there's no evidence of any of that. none. he's trying to undermine it. look, he got a fair trial. the jury spoke like they speak in all cases, and it should be respected. >> reporter: this case is not over. the former president is set to be sentenced just over a month from now on july 11th, four days before the republican national convention begins. david? >> david: rachel scott live in washington, thanks, rachel. we turn to the israel/hamas war. for the second day in a row, another school hit in gaza. in both cases they say hamas militants were embedded inside. the attacks have reportedly kill dozens of civilians. marcus moore in israel again tonight. >> reporter: for the second straight day, a deadly israeli airstrike on a u.n. school in gaza. at least three people killed,

15 more injured according to the hamas-run health ministry. the idf saying it targeted hamas terrorists operating inside school grounds in northern gaza. it comes just 24 hours after israel bombed another u.n. school in central gaza, saying hamas militants were inside. the hamas-run health ministry saying that strike killing at least 40 people, including 14 children. after munitions experts told abc news israel used u.s.-made bombs on that facility, we asked the president about his relationship with prime minister netanyahu. >> david: is benjamin netanyahu listening to you? >> i think he's listening to me. they didn't -- they were going to go into russia -- 92 rafah full-bore, invade all of rafah, go into the city, take it out. move, move with full force. they haven't done that. what they've done is they've agreed to a significant agreement. >> reporter: david, back to those two israeli air strikes on schools in gaza. the idf saying they were
