We also have news about Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson, his cause of death revealed tonight and Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson are both here tonight. You don't want to miss this from abc News World headquarters in new york. This is world news tonight with

David Muir. Good evening and it's great to have you with us here in a Tuesday night. We begin tonight with the breaking news in the Sean Diddy Combs trial. Late this afternoon, the jury telling the judge they have reached a partial verdict. They have decided on four of the five counts telling the judge they are stuck on one of those counts. The racketeering conspiracy charge, the jury deliberating for just a day and a half and reaching this partial verdict again, four of five counts, their verdict not revealed at this hour because the judge telling them to keep going on that fifth count.

The Combs trial went on for nearly two months with graphic testimony and disturbing sexually explicit images. Earlier today, the jury asking for a transcript from Cassie Ventura's testimony about this 2016 hotel attack captured on surveillance. She testified she was trying to escape when Combs assaulted her. The jury made up of eight men and four women. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Late today, the judge telling them to keep an open mind and to keep deliberating. ABC's chief investigative correspondent

Eric Tursky. He's live at the courthouse tonight and he leads us off Aaron after a day and a half of deliberations. David, we have an incredible cliff hanger here, a verdict but no conclusion, a defendant who looked shaken and a jury told it's not done yet.

Tonight, 13 hours into deliberations, jurors said they have reached a verdict on four of the five criminal counts against Sean Combs, but said they're stuck on the racketeering conspiracy charge. The judge instructing them to keep going. The eight man, four woman jury sent a note saying there are unpersuadable opinions on both sides. The note said the jury is prepared to release a verdict on the two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation for prostitution. When the note came in Combs, who was denied all charges, looks stricken. He sat in a chair with his chin resting on his palm. Defense attorney standing in a huddle around him. At one point, Combs wiped his eyes. His mother, sons and twin daughters sat stone faced in the second row. Racketeering conspiracy requires jurors to find Combs led a criminal enterprise and agreed to commit at least two of eight underlying crimes like arson, where prosecutors allege he jealously ordered the fire bombing of rapper Kid Cudi's car or bribery, where they say he tried to pay off a hotel security guard after surveillance cameras captured him attacking Cassie Ventura. The judge told jurors, I ask at this time that you keep deliberating. He reminded them of their duty to consult with one another and to deliberate with a view to reaching an agreement, adding they should not hesitate to change an opinion when convinced that it is erroneous. So let's get right back to Aaron Petersky live at the courthouse tonight. Aaron again, as you've reported, the jury at this hour says it's reached an agreement on four counts, the charges of sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution. But again, as you have reported here, they are stuck on the racketeering conspiracy charge. So what happens now? And what are legal observers saying tonight? A day and a half in a partial verdict on four of five counts against Sean Combs. What could this mean for Combs based on his demeanor alone, David, he didn't seem to think this is going very well for him, but there really is no way to know for sure. And it could cut either way. Honestly, at this point, we do know there is consensus on four of the five counts. So the jury is working together. Maybe they're stuck on what it means to be part of a criminal conspiracy. The jury is going to come back. Start fresh tomorrow, David. After more than 13 hours of deliberations so far, David Petersky leading us off on the breaking news tonight, Aaron, thank you. In the meantime, we turn out of the dangerous storms, damaging winds across much of the northeast late today and right into tonight. Flight cancellations and delays in Washington D. C. Philadelphia, New

York City. Powerful thunderstorms moving right up the I-95 quarter. More than 30 million Americans under severe weather threats, damaging winds and flash flooding ahead tonight. The storms have already turned deadly. Police say a woman was killed in an SUV that collided with a fallen tree. This is in

Wilmington, Delaware. The storms tonight, just as millions travel for the fourth. Lee Goldberg times out the storms this evening, and he has the fourth of July weather for the old pole nation and Stephanie Ramos on the images coming in now.

Tonight, flight cancellations and delays increasing by the hour as powerful storms packing wind, hail and lightning target the northeast for the second night in a row. Interstate 95 inundated amid a flash flood warning for Philadelphia late today. This is a reminder. Turn around. Don't drown. If you see water over the road, do not try to drive through it. White House flags rippling in the wind as the storms engulfed the nation's capital overnight storms dumping half a foot of rain in parts of Pennsylvania, triggering a flash flood emergency in Lancaster County and in Wilmington, Delaware, a 79 year old woman was killed when a tree fell right in front of the car she was riding in. The driver swerved, but it was too late. Those storms also brought ground stops to most of the major northeast airports on one of the busiest days to fly our geo Benitez with teams from United Airlines early this morning as they tracked traffic in and out of Newark Airport. We are inside the United Operations Center here at Newark right now. It is very, very busy. More than half a million United passengers this week alone and take a look. They're watching that weather very closely with 300,000 flights scheduled nationwide. The F. A. A. Says this could be the busiest 4th of July holiday period in 15 years.

And David travel is a mess. More than 1300 flights have been canceled. The most affected airports D. C. Reagan, New York LaGuardia and right here in

Newark, David. A lot of headaches. We see the lines there behind you,

Stephanie. Thank you. Let's get right to meteorologist legal burger of our

New York station. W. A. V. C. What do you see, Lee?

David, I see storms circling New York City right now, but the severe staying to the south. We've had a rough afternoon evening in D. C. With trees knocked down, we've had flooding still flood warnings in Philly and Baltimore.

The severe thunderstorm watch until nine o'clock tonight and ongoing flooding across parts of southern New Jersey. These storms for the next few hours can still produce some 70 MPH gusts and some flash flooding, especially across southern New Jersey, the Delmarva and into eastern

Virginia. Later on tonight, just some lingering showers that will move offshore. One more round of storms on Thursday, and the northeast gets a great fourth of July. That is not the case across Florida. Unfortunately, a straddled front there. Low pressure along it could be tropical. The next name would be Chantal. But regardless of named or not, you're looking at heavy downpours, potential flooding and days of rain into the weekend. In terms of the fourth dry in the southeast, dry in the northeast. But you're looking at heat building into the Midwest. Some showers from the northern Rockies to Texas. The West looks dry. But once again, for the

Macy's fireworks, we couldn't be nicer. Low humidity, nice and dry.

Eighties by day seventies in the evening hour. David in the short term just have to worry about a few more hours of storms in the north. And then it clears. Thank you, Lee. Very much. We turn now to the breaking news from

Washington tonight. President Trump's spending and tax cut bill passing in the Senate. It was very close. Vice President J. D. Vance with the tiebreaking vote. The bill includes major cuts to Medicaid. More than 11 million Americans could lose their health insurance. It includes roughly four trillion in tax cuts benefiting the wealthy, and it's estimated it will add 3.3 trillion to the debt over 10 years. So what does it now face in the House? Here's Mary Bruce tonight. President Trump's sweeping bills, slashing taxes for the wealthy and boosting spending for immigration enforcement, squeaking through the

Senate with a tiebreaking vote from the vice president on this vote. The years are 50. The nays are 50. The Senate being evenly divided. The vice president votes in the affirmative. The bill, as amended, is passed. The bill features roughly $4 trillion in tax cuts, mostly for the wealthiest

Americans that will spur economic growth and more jobs and opportunities for American workers. It also fulfills the president's campaign promise to eliminate taxes on tips in overtime, and it includes deep cuts to Medicaid, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says will cause 11.8 million Americans to lose their health insurance over the next decade. The

American people will not forget the betrayal, the betrayal that took place today. Three Republican senators voting No. Susan Collins of Maine, Tom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, delivering the deciding Yes vote after negotiating in Alaska exception for some cuts to food stamps. She called her decision agonizing. Senator Paul said that this was that your vote was a bailout for Alaska expensive. That's what Senator Paul said.

We said it was easy, Senator. We've got the I didn't say I'm just asking for yours after a long pause. Do I like this bill? No, I tried to take care of

Alaska's interests, but I know I know that in many parts of the country there are Americans that are not going to be advantaged by this bill. I don't like that. But in Florida, where he was touring a new detention facility for undocumented immigrants, President Trump thrilled. The big, beautiful bill just passed. Oh, thank you. Wow.

Thank you. Trump has repeatedly pledged he would not cut Medicaid. He now insists the cuts in the bill only target waste, fraud and abuse. Are you saying that the estimated 11.8 million people who could lose their health coverage? That is all waste, fraud and abuse. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying it's gonna be a very much smaller number than that, and that number will be waste, fraud and abuse. What number is that? What analysis are you? Are you seeing? I'm not seeing a number, but I know it's much less than the number you gave. And David, the president is also lashing out at Elon

Musk, who's criticized the bill, which would eliminate the $7500 tax credit for electric vehicles, which has benefited Tesla. Today, the president threatening to go after Musk using the very agency Musk himself created, saying perhaps it's time for Doge to take a hard look at his government contracts. As for the future of the bill tonight, it is now in the hands of the House, where it is already facing resistance from some Republicans. David.

All right, Mary Bruce, I know you'll be watching it for us. Thank you. Next tonight, the suspect accused of setting that deadly trap for firefighters in

Idaho and what we've now learned about the suspect. Mac Gupman is there again tonight. Tonight, ABC News has learned that the suspect in that deadly firefighter ambush in Idaho had a preoccupation with guns and Aryan and

Nazi symbolism, according to a former classmate. Authorities say 20 year old

Wes Roley ambushed firefighters at a popular trailhead in Coeur d'Alene on

Sunday. Right now, there's an active shooter zone. They're shot the shooter, killing two firefighters, wounding a third before taking his own life.

Investigative sources telling us the suspect grew up around guns in Arizona, and tonight the suspect's former classmate Dieter, who asked us only to use his first name, telling me the suspect had a passion for guns. He was very pro gun. He would show us him shooting what not, like send his videos.

And Dieter also says that Roley had gotten in trouble in high school for drawing swastikas in textbooks. You're saying he had an affinity for the Aryan race? I would say yes for the Aryan race for Nazism. And tonight is that wounded firefighter Dave Tisdale fights for his life. The community coming together.

David officials tell me they've largely contained that fire. They've begun to process that scene. They also say nobody saw this coming. The suspect had no criminal history. They've now gotten into his phone working on that. They've also been pouring over his social media. They found no links to any extremist organizations. David. All right, Matt Gupman in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho tonight.

Matt, thank you. We learned today. Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart has died

Swaggart with millions of followers in the 19 eighties and nineties until his fall from grace. His confession after being defrocked for what the church called moral failure seen by millions of Americans.

I have sinned against you, my Lord. Swaggart never stopped preaching the gospel tonight. This post from the family of Jimmy Swaggart. I have fought a good fight. I finished my course. Jimmy Swaggart was 90. When we come back here tonight, we have news this evening about Beach Boys founder

Brian Wilson has cause of death has now been revealed. Also, Diane Sawyer and

Charlie Gibson are here. You won't want to miss this and the alarming images tonight. A passenger has been arrested for allegedly attacking another passenger on this flight. The other passengers trapped, forced to witness the chaos in a moment here.

Next tonight in New Jersey, man has been arrested after allegedly attacking another passenger. The frontier flight had just landed in Miami on sunday. The two trading blows as other passengers watched the video now emerging.

Authorities say the man who was attacked was not hurt. The alleged attacker was taken to the hospital and then booked on a battery charge. When we come back here tonight, the stunning upset at Wimbledon for an american star and Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson are right here tonight to the index of other news tonight. And we have now learned the cause of death for Beach

Boys founder Brian Wilson. Wilson died june 11th at the age of 82 USA Today now reporting tonight that experienced several minutes of respiratory arrest.

Other contributing causes listed were sepsis and a bladder infection. He was cremated and buried in a cemetery in southern California near U. C. L. A.

French Open winner Coco golf is now out at Wimbledon, losing in two sets to an unseated Ukrainian player. It's the second time in three years. The number two ranked golf has been knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round. But of course, with that french open win under her belt when we come back here tonight, Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson are both here tonight. A personal note funny tonight here. A personal note about someone we will miss here at ABC

News. There she is right there. The one person who is here every night who you don't see. Michelle Mayor has been standing right next to that camera queuing me and so many other anchors. Peter Charlie Diane for decades. She's been at ABC News for more than 30 years. And if you look closely, this wide shot of the studio before we go on the camera pans Shelly with her hands on her hips and I always call out for her Shelly. And then as Michelle knows more than anyone in these chaotic times, right before we go on our joke, I triple check. We know what day it is. It's good to have you here on a

Wednesday night, Wednesday. Michelle started as a prompter operator for

Peter Jennings back in the mid 1990s and then stage manager Peter on his way to the studio there. Shelly on set there in the background ready for him.

She would travel with Peter to Hong Kong, the conventions to Cuba, working with Charlie Gibson when he became anchor. She always knew that Charlie would walk up those stairs to the studio at the last minute. And then she was there for Diane Sawyer, her partner behind the scenes while Diane was on the air, guiding her as she has guided us all. And on this night, when we now say goodbye, Diane wanted to make sure that everyone watching at home knows about the person we all count on behind the camera. I just want all the wonderful people who watch world news to know that when you're watching the person sitting at this desk, you're really also watching the coach behind the camera. Michelle always there to say, move it along or slow it down or time to get out. Or in my case, she had signs printed up most often. And when

Shelly says, sit up straight, you do. And when we reached out to Charlie to ask if he wanted to share a word or two about Michelle, his answer was, of course, yes. The first night the show was mine, not just filling in for

Peter. I came into the studio and Michelle said to me, there may be some people around here a little bit afraid of you. I'm not. I'm the person who will tell you what to do. And she did in the nicest way for four years. She calls us all her anchors from Peter to Charlie to Diane. And how lucky am I?

More than a decade now as my partner. But she says the time has come to catch her breath back home in Kentucky. I am still in denial about all this. I cannot believe that Shelly is leaving my partner in crime out there. She's the one who's queuing me every single night standing next to the camera. But

Shelly, only for you tonight. I hope you'll notice that you're gonna see my cuffs. The only reason anyone ever sees cuffs is because Shelly's always saying, pull your pull your cuffs. My watch. I've got my watch on because

Shelly likes when I show up with my watch on only happens like once or twice a year. Got a full suit on today. Only for you, Shelly. As you know, usually jeans from the waist down behind that desk. But for you, the full suit because I know you don't dig the jeans and I got a haircut. I got a haircut for you, Shelly. And Diane had a message on their shared love of home. We were just two Kentucky girls who got to the big city. She was hilarious and you needed to laugh. And most of all, she isn't always will be a person cares passionately about what we do. And Michelle, that passion helping us all be the best we can be for so long. This moment is yours. You deserve this, Shelly. Go home to Kentucky. You'll be back with your family and the horses and the beautiful countryside. And what 11 years this has been with you by my side. I don't know what I'm gonna do. You will be missed, but you've set the bar. We'll be pulling down our shirt sleeves and sitting up straight for years to come. Because we know if we don't, we'll be hearing from someone in Kentucky. All right, so let's show her. She doesn't let me do this.

But on the last night, let's show Shelly over here queuing me off the air. How many seconds do I have left? Three. We love you, Shelly. Good night.
