documents marked as "classified, national security information," including the highest levels of classification and some known as "special access program materials." now, that means that trump took to florida some of the most highly-classified secrets in the government. we have a lot of news to get to tonight, and cbs' robert costa will start us off from palm beach, florida. good evening, robert. >> reporter: good evening, norah. stunning new details tonight from the national archives about highly-classified materials in former president trump's possession, now coming to light in an official document for the first time. a newly-revealed letter from the national archives to donald trump's legal team details the alarm inside the federal agency about trump's possession of highly-classified material. specifically, among the boxes trump took with him to his mar-a-lago estate were over 100 documents with classification markings comprising more than 700 pages, some up to top secret. >> top secret is the highest

classification level of the u.s. government. it's based on a judgment that, if our adversaries got their hands on that information, there would be exceptionally grave damage to the united states of america. >> reporter: so far, a u.s. official tells cbs news that the justice department has retrieved at least 150 classified documents from the boxes trump handed over to the national archives earlier this year. and the "new york times" reports that, since federal agents re-engaged with trump's legal team this summer, and then searched his home, that number has climbed to more than 300, containing documents from the c.i.a., the national security agency, and the f.b.i. trump, who is considering a 2024 presidential run, continues to attack the probe, and cast it as "politically motivated" in a motion earlier this week. the justice department has responded by saying it had probable cause for the search. >> the presidential election is more than two years away. this doesn't immunize him from a criminal investigatin into this mishandling and unauthorized retention of properly marked

classified documents. >> reporter: the political fallout remains uncertain-- many republicans rallying to trump's side, others far more muted about trump's legal fate. today, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said, "this is an unfolding episode. we are all watching." norah. >> o'donnell: interesting. robert costa for us, thank you. tonight, communities in texas are slowly beginning to recover, following the historic and deadly storms that caused massive flooding across much of the region.sed massive flo the storms have moved into the lower mississippi valley, with heavy rains hitting northern louisiana. we get more now from cbs' omar villafranca. >> reporter: tonight, the storm that flooded parts of texas has dropped as much as eight inches of rain across sections of the gulf coast states, with more to come. the weather channel's justin michaels was in monroe, louisiana, just east of shreveport, when the storm hit. >> the kind of flooding we're seeing here is in neighborhoods and on streets, and they did have some neighborhood and

street flooding just yesterday. with the amount of rain we're experiencing today, there is concern that could happen again. >> reporter: 48 hours ago, the record-breaking storm pounded parts of texas, dumping more than a foot of rain, sparking flash floods and hundreds of water rescues-- even a tornado. today, texans started to clean up the mess. just southeast of dallas, this is what the medina family woke up to yesterday-- several inches of water inside their home, several feet outside. today, we found jose luis medina surveying his waterlogged house. he said, when they went outside to get out, it was basically up to their necks. >> i think everybody here just needs water. >> reporter: this afternoon, first responders were still going door-to-door checking on residents. they rescued 65-year-old nolen williams yesterday. >> reporter: were you worried at any point?

>> reporter: this summer, nearly a quarter of flights by u.s. airlines have been delayed, on average, by almost an hour. >> we are still seeing far, far too many delays and cancellations. >> reporter: do airlines need to be held to a higher standard? >> i think so. >> reporter: secretary of transportation pete buttigieg sent a letter to airlines last week, calling their performance "unacceptable." airlines say they've thinned their schedule and increased hiring, trying to keep pace. >> it doesn't take nearly as long to qualify somebody to get into a call center as it does the cockpit. we need to make sure that passengers have a clear understanding of their rights. >> reporter: and in seattle, a different kind of disruptiond ia on an alaska airlines flight to san diego, as the plane's engine cover ripped off during takeoff. diego as the plane's eng there were no injuries. secretary buttigieg has told the airlines, he believes if it's a long delay, they should provide a meal voucher to passengers, and if they strand people overnight, for any reason, they should pay for a hotel room. the department of transportation

>> reporter: the kremlin has blamed ukraine for the attack, a charge it strenuously denies. but it has raised the prospect of an escalation of the war, particularly as ukraine celebrates independence day on wednesday. president zelenskyy, however, stressed defiance, rather than fear, when he raised the national flag today. >> ( speaking ukrainian ) >> reporter: "the blue and yellow flag of ukraine will once again fly where it belongs," he said, "including crimea." kyiv remains on edge as the country braces for the possibility of renewed russian attacks this week. stricter curfews have been imposed in some regions, and people have been warned to stay vigilant. norah. >> o'donnell: debora patta, h thank you so much. well, we want to turn now to the primaries, with voters heading we want to turn now to the primaries, with voters heading to the polls in new york and florida, with several key races
