weapons after all. >> look, are they wishing or maybe changing their minds on denuclearization? it's possible. >> reporter: in singapore, the president made it sound like an almost done deal. >> mr. president, did he agree to denuclearize, sir? >> we're starting that process very quickly. very, very quickly. absolutely. >> reporter: as soon as he returned to washington, he declared, "there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea." but "the washington post" reported a letter from kim jong-un's spy chief, the man who met with president trump at the white house shortly before the singapore summit, prompted the president to call off the next round of talks. the president canceled secretary of state mike pompeo's trip to pyongyang, tweeting, "we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization." shortly after that, sounds of fury out of north korea. state media accusing the united states of "double-dealing" and "hatching a criminal plot to unleash a war" to "commit a

crime which deserves merciless divine punishment." and in a significant development, secretary of defense jim mattis today said the u.s. could resume major military exercises with south korea. >> we have no plans at this time to suspend any more exercises. >> there's been a bit of whiplash on this, jon karl. he's at the white house tonight. jon, the president, of course, declared the nuclear threat was over. we just heard from the defense secretary there signaling that exercises could resume. but the administration tonight still holding out hope that these talks will somehow get back on track? >> reporter: well, the state department said today they are ready to engage, but only when north korea stands ready to deliver on the promise of getting rid of their nukes. and david, even as the president canceled secretary pompeo's trip to north korea, he tweeted his warm regards to kim jong-un and said, quote, i look forward to seeing him soon. >> all right, jon karl on a tuesday night. thank you, jon. next tonight, to puerto rico. and the staggering new number out this evening. we have traveled to puerto rico so many times since hurricane

medicine. >> this is the first medicine? >> this is the first medicine. >> and it's motrin. >> reporter: abc news returning to the island several times, outrage over how long it took for the power to return and disbelief over that initial death toll, far lower than what many thought here. just two months ago, we were back in yabucoa. they've got that worker up there, trying to rester per to . the electricity had still not come back on. do you feel like you've been forgotten? >> yeah, been forgotten. >> reporter: and tonight, puerto rico's governor now declaring this new number the official death count. david, as you know from your visit to puerto rico, as well, this new death toll is what so many on the ground feared and believed all along. now with hurricane season upon us, the more than 3 million americans living in puerto rico are all too familiar with the dangers they face. david? >> victor oquendo, we thank you for your continued reporting on this and we'll continue to follow it. next tonight, abc news obtaining new video this evening in the case of the alleged russian agent arrested here in the u.s.

truly in love and that she did not seduce him on orders of the kremlin. so, "beauty and the beast"? >> yeah, i mean, it's -- i found it adorable. i think you also look at this and say, this looks pretty legitimate, at least i do. maybe i'm -- maybe i'm a sucker for romance. >> reporter: federal prosecutors aren't buying it. they say butina used erickson to infiltrate powerful conservative groups like the nra, as part of a "russian influence operation." she was photographed with an array of prominent conservatives. and in 2015, she even managed to ask candidate donald trump a question about russia. >> do you want to continue the politics of sanctions? >> i believe i would get along very nicely with putin, okay? >> reporter: butina has pleaded not guilty. she's now behind bars, awaiting trial. not exactly a fairytale ending. ♪ beauty and the beast

mccarrick was a predator, but "is not thinking about resignation." >> nobody can remove him from his place as pope. that's the church law. >> reporter: the allegations have exposed a deep rift in the church. >> many of the people who are critical of pope francis naturally are inclined to believe the accusations. >> reporter: supporters of pope francis have sought to debunk archbishop carlo vigano's text, detail by detail. the allegations have undercut pope francis' moral authority as he tries to address the epidemic of sexual abuse in the church. >> i think it's to the mill of those who are saying he's not doing enough to deal with sexual abuse. >> reporter: the president of the u.s. conference of bishops is now seeking an urgent audience with the pope. he's made it clear that he says these allegations need an investigation. but there's no provision for a special counsel to investigate the pope. but the vatican infighting this time around has a distinctly modern feel to it.
