happen. trust me, i know. but this election is still a choice between someone who knows right from wrong and will give it to the american people straight -- and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. last night didn't change that." >> reporter: on the debate stage, trump's performance, an avalanche of lies and distortions. he continued to defend those convicted in the riot at the capitol on january 6th and repeatedly dodged questions on whether he would accept the results of the coming election. >> if it's a fair and legal and good election, absolutely. i would have much rather accepted these, but the -- the fraud and everything else was ridiculous. >> reporter: tonight in virginia -- mocking biden's debate performance. >> joe biden spent the entire week at camp david resting, working, studying. he studied very hard. he studied so hard that he didn't know what the hell he was doing. >> reporter: but today, the president insisting -- >> i would not be running again if i didn't believe with all my heart and soul i can do this job.

>> reporter: tonight -- a potentially big win at the supreme court for the january 6th defendants -- including donald trump. by a 6-3 vote, the court significantly limited the reach of one the charges brought against many january 6th rioters in a ruling that could impact the election interference prosecution against trump. the case was brought by former pennsylvania police officer joseph fischer who stormed the capitol on january 6th and was charged, in part, with obstruction. the specific law used by the justice department makes it a crime to alter or destroy documents and records to be used in official proceedings -- or "otherwise obstruct any official proceeding." that law, passed after the enron scandal, was originally written to prosecute business and financial crimes. the question at the court, could it be used against those storming the capitol, who were trying to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election? the court's answer, no. chief justice john roberts writing for the conservatives and liberal justice ketanji brown jackson ruling that prosecutors went too far and

cannot transform "this evidence-focused statute into a one size fits all solution to obstruction of justice," adding that prosecutors must prove a defendant somehow tampered with documentary evidence. justice amy coney barrett, who joined the liberal justices in dissent, pushed back -- acknowledging that the law was written in the business-crime context, but writing, "admittedly, events like january 6th were not its target. who could blame congress for that failure of imagination? but statutes often go further than the problem that inspired them." trump heralded the decision on social media, calling it "big news" for the january 6th defendants he celebrated on the debate stage and whom he's vowed to pardon as president. >> those people have been treated so badly. so we're asking, based on the decision, they should immediately be released, immediately, the january 6th hostages. >> reporter: tonight, the justice department says today's decision will not affect the "vast majority" of january 6th

defendants' cases, and it will take "appropriate steps to comply with the ruling." of the more than 1,400 january 6th defendants, 52 have been convicted on this charge. 27 are currently serving time. no one, including fischer, was only charged with obstruction. two of the four charges in the election interference case against donald trump rest on this law, but special counsel jack smith says they're still valid because of trump's efforts to use fake electoral certificates, documents, in his alleged scheme. but it all may be moot on monday when the supreme court is expected to hand down its ruling on trump's claim that he is immune from prosecution. whit? >> whit: that major decision next week. terry moran, thank you. we have breaking news outside of new york city tonight. first responders are on the scene of a horrific crash in suffolk county, new york. authorities say at least four people were killed, nine hospitalized, when a minivan crashed through a nail salon late today. the images just coming in. here's abc's phil lipof. >> reporter: tonight, a deadly crash into a building on new

aaa says some 60 million will take their vacations by car. the national average for a gallon of regular, $3.50, about the same as this time last year. but of course, the wild card for travel, both in the air and on the road, is the weather. >> are we watch along tornado form right there? >> reporter: these drivers in jacksonville spotting a twister as it flipped a truck this morning. >> oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! >> reporter: overnight, a confirmed tornado in melbourne, florida, destroyed multiple homes. in moab, utah, flash floods turned this highway into a waterfall, debris raining on drivers. the person who shot this video says it came out of nowhere. whit, thunderstorms could impact crucial east coast airports all weekend long. the advice is to fly early. thunderstorms tend to formulary in the day. check the weather not only where you are but also where you're will go. >> whit: an important reminder, thank you. meteorologist lee goldberg is

joining us from our new york station wabc. these severe storms are moving in overnight? >> indeed, and they're traveling along a highly populated path. we start out from the plains into the midwest tonight. all the way from north platte to des moines. actually, kansas city has the highest risk for a tornado. keep your mobile alerts on, get to a place of safety did you see that warning come through. as these move along, you might not need the alarm clock in buffalo or cleveland with storms in the morning. they'll be moving eastward to be just west of albany down to harrisburg bit evening hours. the real severe threat for the i-95 corridor, that comes on sunday. basically over the weekend, you're looking from columbus to scranton on saturday. on sunday, basically this will squash the humidity before it comes back on july fourth. whit? >> whit: lee goldberg for us, we always appreciate it, thank you. next tonight, more than two years after the school massacre in uvalde, texas, parents of the victims are reacting to the first criminal indictments. former school police chief pete arredondo and one of his former
