payment of hush money to porn actress stormy daniels. >> a trump spokesperson appeared to walk back his claim after the posting. abc news has not verified the claims, and the d.a. isn't talking, but politicians on the left and the right are. so let's get right to the latest on this with abc's reena roy, who is live outside of new york county court. reena, good morning to you. >> reporter: janai, good morning to you. it is important to reiterate that trump has not yet been charged in this probe, and so far no word from the d.a. as you said, even trump's spokesperson appearing to walk back his statement. former president trump taking to his social media app saturday, claiming he will be arrested on tuesday in relation to the manhattan d.a.'s investigation into alleged hush money payments made to porn star stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 election. abc news has not verified the claims and the manhattan d.a. providing no comment. trump also calling on his supporters to protest. former trump administration

official john bolton saying the call has echoes of january 6th. >> if he's calling people into the streets, this time he's seen the experience of january the 6th, and i think this is potentially very dangerous. >> reporter: shortly after his post, a trump spokesperson in his statement saying that there has been no notification from the d.a. on the arrest, and insisting the former president is rightfully highlighting his innocence, and the weaponization of our injustice system. this after a pivotal week in the criminal investigation. daniels meeting with manhattan prosecutors and former trump attorney, michael cohen, testifying for about five hours in front of a grand jury about that alleged hush money payment. >> i was working for a man who ultimately became president of the united states, and, yes, there are things that we did that were wrong, for example, the hush money payment. >> reporter: though questions now about whether prosecutors should pursue this case against the former president. >> if you look at it from the big picture, you've got a

streaky legal case in conjunction with one that could arguably help him politically. >> reporter: former vice president pence also weighing in in an interview with abc's jon karl. >> the fact that the manhattan d.a. thinks that idicting president trump is his top priority, i think, just tells you everything you need to know about the radical left in this country. it just feels like a politically charged prosecution here. >> reporter: and pence has called for any protests to be peaceful. meanwhile, trump has said he has no plans to drop out of the presidential race even if he's indicted. a spokesperson saying that he plans to be in texas next weekend for a rally. whit? >> reena, thank you. let's bring in abc's chief washington correspondent jonathan karl, who will be hosting "this week" later on this morning and has that exclusive interview with former vice president mike pence. jon, good morning to you. it's great to have you. so we heard there that spokesperson appearing to walk back some of trump's comments

about being arrested on tuesday, but can you give us some insight in terms of what's happening behind the scenes within the trump camp and how they're preparing for any possible indictment? >> i'm told, whit, that trump has been intensely focused on this, to the point of being obsessed with the manhattan d.a.'s pending action, what they believe will be the pending action for days, and if this is to come, and, again, we don't know if, indeed, an indictment is coming, but if it is, they will turn this into a major political issue. you can expect trump to go out there and to vilify the d.a. as a political prosecutor, and he will pressure his potential rivals for the 2024 republican nomination to come out and stand with him. he's already doing that. >> he is already doing that, and we have to remind ourselves that this is just one of several investigations into trump all happening at once here. in your interview with former vice president mike pence, you asked him to clarify his position on testifying in the

january 6th probe. let's listen to that exchange. >> well, jon, as you know, i'm limited in what i can say about proceedings related to the grand jury, but just as i did on january 6th when i upheld the constitution of the united states, i think preserving the separation of powers, the speech and debate protections that legislators have, and that those operating in the legislative branch have is enormously important to the life of the nation. >> it's not that you're object objecting to talking about, for instance, the broader effort to overturn the election. that was one of the other items, again. >> as i've said, we're not asserting executive privilege, which may encompass other discussions. the president may well have brought a claim for that. i just believe that the work that i did preparing for and conducting my role as president of the senate is covered by that clause.

i believe we have the law on our decide. >> but the other issues? >> we'll have to wait and see. >> pence walking a fine line here. get us up to speed on what his role could be in this investigation going forward. >> okay. this is very important, and there's some legal jargon in there, but he made news here. pence has challenged the subpoena from the special counsel saying that he, you know, should not have to testify about what he did on january 6th, presiding over that joint session of congress, but what he said to me is that he is not ruling out testifying about other matters related to trump's efforts to overturn the election. so we'll see where this will go. there will be a court battle on what he is objecting to, but he is making it clear that he ultimately is willing to testify about other matters to the special counsel. >> and how could all this impact pence if he decides to run for president? >> well, he walks this fine line, you know, he is -- obviously it was the trump/pence administration.

the republican party's dominated by supporters of donald trump. what he's trying to do is defend the record of donald trump, the policy record, but distance himself from the personal behavior of donald trump. it is a fine line, and we'll see if it all will fly with republican voters. >> sure is something we'll watch very closely. jon, thanks to you as always, and tune in to "this week" later on this morning for the rest of jon's exclusive interview with former vice president mike pence, plus, jon interviews senator elizabeth warren in the wake of tougher bhanganking rules in light of recent failures. whit? we turn to the latest on the banking industry following the failure of silicon valley bank. reports this morning that ubs is in talks to take over credit suisse. abc's elizabeth schulze joins us from washington with more on this. good morning. >> reporter: gio, good morning. one week ago today the government took rare steps to rescue the customers of silicon valley bank and signature bank. now another embattled bank, credit suisse, needs a lifeline,

and it's hoping to find it from its rival, ubs. the two banks are reportedly in talks to merge as soon as today. it's part of an urgent effort by global regulators to boost confidence in the banking system. both banks are declining to comment. swiss authorities already pumped more than $50 billion into credit suisse last week, but that was not enough to convince investors that the bank's longstanding cash problems are solved. the stock is down more than 30% just in the past month, and one reason why this swiss bank matters to american households is that a lot of multinational companies have their money invested with it, so if it did collapse, that could ripple through the rest of the economy, gio. >> and, elizabeth, should we be prepared to see more uncertainty from bank stocks and the broader stock market this week? >> reporter: well, gio, many analysts expect this choppy trading will continue as we wait to see if there are more banks that could fail. this morning bloomberg is reporting that billionaire investor warren buffett has been having conversations with officials from the biden

administration about the regional banking sector, and buffett has, of course, given cash lifelines to struggling banks in the past. another big wild card this week is the federal reserve. there's a debate about how much it might raise interest rates when it meets this week, higher rates, of course, weigh on banks and make it more expensive for consumers to take out a loan or pay off debts. janai? >> which means so many families at home are feeling that pinch. elizabeth, thank you so much for that update. turning now overseas to the war in ukraine and the defint move by russian president vladimir putin. his first visit to ukrainian land occupied by his forces since their invasion last year. abc's tom soufi burridge is in ukraine with the latest on what is a highly controversial trip after being indicted by the international criminal court. tom, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, janai. after being indicted by the international criminal court, vladimir putin for the first time visiting ukrainian land taken by russia during this war. putin making a provocative trip

to mariupol, driving himself around the city. his troops destroyed it and in the process they killed thousands of civilians, but this weekend, russian state tv showing putin inpecting reconstruction work and meeting local residents. this trip an apparent snub to international justice because the russians are accused of abducting ukrainian children from mariupol and deporting them to russia, and that is the very reason why putin is now a wanted man in the hague. also visiting crimea, the peninsula he annexed from ukraine exactly nine years ago. putin facing down critics as he prepares to receive china's president xi in moscow, the world's most powerful autocrats promising a deeper partnership. u.s. officials warning that beijing is considering supplying arms to moscow. meanwhile, russia pressing its offensive in eastern ukraine. two more civilians killed overnight by russian shelling according to ukrainian officials. we saw more u.s. heavy weaponry

with a convoy of howitzers crossing the polish border into ukraine as ukrainian officials prepare for a major offensive expected in the coming weeks. whit? >> tom soufi burridge, thank you. now to the battle over abortion, and a renewed focus on abortion pills. wyoming's governor signing a ban into law while texas awaits a judge's ruling on the issue. abc's jaclyn lee is here now with more. jaclyn, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. in wyoming, the ban on those pills takes effect july 1st with 13 states already banning all forms of abortion. a pending court case in texas could transform the abortion rights landscape entirely. new this morning, a growing push by conservative states to outlaw abortion pills. on friday, wyoming becoming the first state to make abortion pills illegal, with more states expected to follow suit. it makes exceptions for rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in danger. wyoming governor mark gordon also allowing a bill to pass, that makes obtaining an abortion a felony with abortion providers

facing up to five years in prison for performing the procedure. texas is bracing for a federal judge's ruling that could overturn the fda approval of the abortion pill. the judge appointed by former president trump. proponents argue there are complications with the pill causing harm to women. >> we know in the pro-life movement that there are significant real risks associated with chemical abortion pills. >> reporter: abortion rights advocates protesting outside the courthouse. >> medication abortion is the safest and most accessible option now for millions of women across the country. >> reporter: over in florida, republicans advanced a bill proposing an abortion ban after six weeks. >> what's before you is an attempt to set out good policy for the state of florida that promotes life. >> reporter: abortion rights advocates say many women don't even know they're pregnant at six weeks, essentially making this an abortion ban, which they say will have lasting effects across the country. >> people will continue to identify ways to make decisions

about their own bodies. these states and these state lawmakers and these governors are just making it harder for them to do so. >> reporter: and in regards to the texas ruling, the judge said he will rule as soon as possible. gio? >> so many watching that. all right, jaclyn, thank you. we're going to turn now to an incredible story. a dramatic scene on a beach in new york's long island as a plane makes an emergency landing in the sand, and it's all caught on camera. take a look. a frightening scene on this long island, new york, beach. >> there's a single-engine plane on the beach. >> reporter: that plane seen here making an emergency landing, crashing in the sand, then nose-down in the water. that pilot, new york state assemblyman clyde vanel. >> his name's clyde vanel. no injuries. he's still on the beach near the plane. >> reporter: caelyn canace was taking a stroll with her dog friday afternoon. at first she took out her phone to videotape this seagull.

>> then out of the corner of my eye, i heard and i saw something. >> reporter: what she saw was a single-engine plane struggling and making its descent. >> it's so fast. it's all happening obviously fast. i see the plane literally flying towards me. >> reporter: canace says she ran to help vanel. he and his passenger escaping with no injury. >> i ran up to them. we were all in shock. they were alive. >> reporter: assemblyman vanel taking to social media after saying he had to land the aircraft after he experienced engine failure, writing, i landed the airplane at the nearest safe location, and they are still looking into just why that plane went down, but just incredible that nobody was injured, thank goodness. >> and that she caught that when she was trying to take a video of a seagull. >> right, i know. >> amazing. >> i'm sure you'll be following up on that. now to a massive car pileup that closed a michigan highway for hours on saturday. up to 100 vehicles were involved in the crashes that shut down both directions of interstate 96 near the city of portland. officials say the whiteout

conditions were reported before the crashes happened. state police say several people were injured, but none were serious. good news. >> yeah. all right. let's get more now on the weather. somara theodore is here, and it sort of feels like winter's last stand here, right? >> yeah, exactly. that's what march does, you know? spring is a very volatile season. >> yes, it is. >> the good news is that lake-effect snow is getting ready to wrap up, not before dumping about one to three more inches, but it's like a machine when it gets going. you see the reduced visibility, but all eyes now are turned to the west. rain moving to the california coastline. this is just round one. 3:00 p.m. today, we start to see heavy snow moving into the sierra nevada mountain range. by monday, they get a little bit of a lull, and round two rolls in. heavy rain sweeping into areas like san francisco and fresno hitting during that morning commute. 1 to 4 inches is certainly possible. 4 to 6 feet of snow along the sierra nevada mountain range, but san bernardino, areas
